[129] Temple of the Law of Equilibrium(1/3)
Before the army returned, Zhou Li'an paused the acceleration of time.
The reason for this is this grand triumphal celebration ceremony.
At the same time, the [Eye of the Void] was used to constantly detect the movements of the army. When the army entered California, a divine decree was issued, ordering the cavalry to go to meet them and guide the way.
Hundreds of thousands of tribes migrated, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The war horses of the cavalry army also multiplied along the way, and the mare that gave birth was relieved of the work of drafting animals and concentrated on raising foals.
The foal ran around beside the mare, and naughty children from all walks of life chased and played with the foal.
There are even more daring ones who ride on the back of a horse and become the enviable "King of Children".
Of course, these "kid kings" all have backgrounds.
Ordinary indigenous children would not dare to do this to the horses of the Legion of God. Most of these children were born after the leader of the war group conquered the tribes along the way.
In addition, domesticated sheep and alpacas also stretch the front line.
In the earliest expeditions, such domestic animals would be slaughtered and salted to be used as food reserves. However, considering that it was the final way back, the cow dung was allowed to be carried by various ministries, as long as it did not slow down the migration.
.
This scene is like a big moving city, rolling through the mountains and rivers of the earth.
It's both spectacular and messy.
Therefore, Zhou Li'an ordered his troops to stop in the "Bakersfield" area to tidy up the appearance of the army.
Take back the horses that have been pulled, ride them one by one, and lead the army in front.
"Bakersfield" is a small city in Southern California that emerged in the 19th century due to large oil fields. It continued to be an important place for the oil processing industry in later generations. It occupies the southernmost end of the Central Valley and irrigates massive amounts of farmland, making it a resource city.
Now, Hexiang has not yet built a city here, but after the influx of hundreds of thousands of people, building a new city has been included in the plan of the elders.
Bakersfield is 170 kilometers away from Fresno County and is also the only way from Southern California to Arizona.
This military road must be opened sooner or later.
Setting off from Bakersfield, not only the army was grooming themselves, but hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were also cleaning themselves in the rivers along the way, building sweat lodges, and men and women putting on clean clothes in order to solemnly worship the true God.
This trip lasted seven days.
Equilibrium 10 years, May 10th.
Afternoon.
More than 100,000 people were waiting eagerly under the scorching sun.
A high platform and a pergola have been set up outside the city. Zhou Li'an, Snow Girl and the elders are waiting quietly. Ice cubes are placed around them, and a large industrial fan is connected to a generator in the distance to blow cool breeze.
In the eyes of the people, these are all miracles.
Scouts came several times to report the movement of the army.
Finally, a billowing cloud of smoke rolled up on the horizon, and in the smoke there was a red tidal wave.
"It's an army!!"
"The army is wearing red treasure armor!!"
When people saw the whereabouts of the army, the place became excited, making the anxious summer in early May even hotter.
The elders kneeling on the stage were also extremely excited.
The oldest elder is really capable of resisting.
He has been with Qingliang for 10 years. He has become rickety in stature, but his complexion is still rosy. He keeps himself healthy with a small pot of hot milk in the morning and evening.
His son is in the army and is one of the earliest hunting leaders of the Tushi Tribe.
Today, his grandson has become the law instructor of the Kinkou School, teaching the beliefs and laws of Kinkou.
"My lord, the army returns in triumph!!"
"This, this is all your grace under your glory!"
"Your humble servant praises you at this moment, praises the balance!"
The old man was panting heavily, almost using up all his strength to sing out praises.
The other elders also shouted and praised.
Zhou Li'an smiled and said nothing.
The snow girl is also looking forward to the distance...
Come back, my father and brother are back!
She suppressed the moisture in her eyes and maintained the majesty of the witch.
The sound of iron hoofs roared across the earth, approaching.
Not far away, Zhou Weiguo set up a camera early to record everything.
"dismount!!"
"Dismount! Dismount!"
The battle order was passed on, and the roar of the warriors spread among the troops.
Almost at the command of the order, the cavalry army stopped, and all rolled off their horses. The sound of heavy armor clashing was shocking, and the blood flowed involuntarily.
Take the first three steps up the mountain, slap your breastplate and shout -
"My lord is on high!"
"We, the cavalry army, will live up to our lord's divine grace and bring all the people on the earth to court and surrender under the balance!"
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
"Balance exists among all things!"
This has been rehearsed for a long time. It is a bullshit suggestion. It should be concise and to the point.
At this moment, the army at the rear let out a war cry, and the warriors on both sides moved their horses and dispersed to both sides, and the central army also followed suit and separated into a central road.
Afterwards, nearly ten thousand red-armored warriors knelt down and worshiped.
The central passage that was left out showed the people and horses migrating behind, and there was a sea of people. Even if there were no horses' hooves on the ground, the smoke was still filling the air.
The crowd behind was still far away, but a group of chiefs and elders from various tribes came to pay homage. They were dressed in various colors, some were bare-chested and smeared with bear fat, and some wore feathered headbands.
After walking through the passage left by the army, I finally knelt down and worshiped.
They have also learned a few common words of balance, and at this moment offer their devotion to our Lord, the true God, the Lord of Balance——
"We are willing to surrender under the knees of the true God, the leader of the gods, and become your most pious and humble servants and messengers!"
At this moment.
Zhou Li'an, who had not moved for a long time on the high platform, stood up.
Under the scorching afternoon sun, his body was shrouded in a golden brilliance that was more dazzling than the sun, and the sacred dharma bodies of the gods were condensed above.
Countless people were moved to tears by this miracle.
All the people behind him knelt down and worshiped.
Zhou Li'an's voice then spread out——
"Those who believe in balance will be happy and peaceful in life, and will be guided to the door to the afterlife when they die!"
Snow Girl followed Zhou Li'an half a step behind, shouting, "To balance all the people, we should praise the grace of our Lord and True God!!"
The roaring shouts of praise shook the earth and the earth.
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
The ceremony is completed.
[Ding! Population 351,761!]
[Ding, total population: 823915!]
…
It's night.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed over the main city of Balance 5.
People from all over the country came voluntarily to celebrate the holy ceremony with the more than 300,000 people who had migrated.
Zhou Li'an rewarded countless fine wines, arranged for people to blend them early, and dug a reservoir outside the city for people to cool off and revel.
Climbing the mountain, Niu Shi and other war group leaders came to visit, but were turned away by Zhou Li'an, "All matters will be discussed after the three-day celebration!"
And when the snow girl came back, Zhou Li'an had already traveled through time and left.
The snow girl was stunned for half a second, and then she realized that the master was giving her time to reunite with her family.
However, the fact is that she cannot participate.
The victorious army celebrated happily, but because of her appearance, the rough guys couldn't let go, and everyone who saw her knelt down and worshiped.
To be continued...
