The Path Toward Heaven

790 The Successor of the Priestess

Jing Jiu turned and walked back to the priesthood and sat down beside the priest.

The starlight seemed to move with him, and the hall became brighter.

The water in the celadon bowl in front of the priestess shimmered, like a condensed glass, and a few petals fluttered slowly, irregularly.

The three young girls pressed the shock and anxiety, and knelt in front of her in accordance with the priest's instructions.

The priest's eyes moved slowly on them, with deep and wise eyes, as if they could see through them.

The three girls knew that the successor of the priesthood would be born in the next moment, nervous with different moods.

To their surprise, the priestess did not directly announce the candidate, but looked at Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu asked Zhong Lizi: "Are you sure you want to be a priestess?"

Zhong Lizi understood the meaning hidden in his sentence and could no longer control it. He raised his head and stared blankly at his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang and Xia and Huaxi also understood that the priestess chose the heir to actually listen to the meaning of the blue-clothed boy, and also looked up in shock.

I don't know how long it has passed. Just like answering that question, Zhong Lizi took a deep breath and stared at Jing Jiu and asked, "Do you have to have a baby?"

Jing Jiu didn't think about the meaning of this sentence, and replied at random: "No."

Zhong Lizi's heart suddenly relaxed, his expression like the spring ice melting, the first flower blooming, said: "I will do it."

No matter who you are, it must be the most amazing person under this starry sky. If I want to follow you, only qualify as a priestess, right?

The priestess smiled and said, "So then."

In fact, the successor of the priesthood has already decided.

From the moment Zhong Lizi decided to participate in the election.

Jing Jiu just wanted to make a final confirmation, lest she repent in the future.

Zhong Lizi was mentally prepared, but when she heard the priestess, she was still at a loss, and she didn't reply for a while.

Huaxi is a very clever little girl. She can understand the meaning of the priestess, but she is also at a loss. Is it that simple? Looking at Zhong Lizi enviously said, "Sister is so powerful."

Instead, Jiang and Xia were the calmest and happiest person, smiling at Zhong Lizi, "Congratulations."

...

...

The altar is very quiet inside and outside, even the hundreds of thousands of people who have been carnival on the grassland for a whole day have remained silent, quietly looking at the magnificent building not far away, waiting for the final result.

A bishop walked out of the altar, holding a scroll with spar as the axis and gold as the cloth, and slowly unfolded.

Looking at this scene, the crowd gradually became turbulent and quickly calmed down again.

The big men headed by the Chief Executive and the director of the base stood on the square outside the altar, and listened to the priest's decree quietly with the ocean-like crowd behind them.

When people heard the name that was no longer strange, they still couldn't help but feel amazed. Is it really her?

A priestess finally appeared in the underground block!

After a moment of shock came cheers from the sky.

The Chief Executive and other big figures clapped one after another. Mr. Xia, who was standing in the corner, remained expressionless, but his applause was obviously stiff.

The head of the Mo family stood farther away, holding his crying daughter in his arms. His face was a little gloomy, but he was hesitant in the depths of his eyes.

Several warships that have flew off the surface and come to the edge of the atmosphere, shoot out beams of light at the same time, then flash non-stop, celebrating in accordance with the etiquette of the ancient battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks were fired from all over the surface, illuminating the night and day, and people began to revel again.

Except for the surface, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the other underground living areas. Today, the enthusiasm of the people can not be stopped. Even if the police department has increased its management efforts, there are still fireworks from the steel cliffs from time to time.

Most of the blocks in Shou'er Metropolis are exposed to the sky, and they don't even care. Naturally, fireworks can be seen everywhere. When it is the highest, it is even approaching the height of the crustal mountains.

The cafeteria of the New World College was upset, and all the tables and chairs fell to the ground. Many male students summoned their classmates to go to the Ministry of Life to buy some drinks.

The director of the student office in charge of style was very angry and went to the principal to get an idea.The Fat Principal held a handkerchief and kept sweating, and waved his hands impatiently, scolding: "Why care when you are so happy! What do you mean!"

The young girl named Lu Shuiqian did not know when she left the campus and walked along the path between the lawns towards the woods. Her back was very lonely and sullen. Looking at the direction she went, would n’t she live in an underground block? child?

The underground block called Minsheng has turned into a jubilant ocean. The owner of the game hall generously announced that all the Internet is free today. The owner of the barbecue stall was carried by the crowd to another block. The ingredients left on the stall naturally became everyone. Shared deliciousness. Several middle-aged men who rarely left the apartment building stood at the oven and greeted their neighbors. Mr. Dan was lying on the table with a big bottle of grain spirits. He had fallen asleep and was pressed to the side of his glasses. Below is a look of wrinkles and smiles.

...

...

For the entire planet, only the terrace behind the altar is quiet at this time.

Jing Jiu stood by the terrace bar, watching the fireworks rising from time to time on the grassland, his face illuminated from time to time, without any emotion.

He was not surprised by this result. Zhong Lizi ’s participation in the selection of the priesthood was guided by the bishop who defended the second city, and the reason why the bishop would do so ... naturally because Zhong Lizi was someone around him, The priestess will of course choose her as the heir.

The fireworks on the grassland suddenly became denser, the light beams dropped by the warships flickered even more, and the cheers from the main entrance of the memorial hall rose into the sky.

I want to come at this time when Zhong Lizi is on the high stone steps to accept the salutes of the big men and the people.

The priestess walked to the terrace, dared not to stand side by side with him, half a step behind, and said softly, "I chose her because she is the closest to you and wants to come to her differently."

Jing Jiu said, "Now do you have a different idea?"

"The child's talent is too ordinary, whether it is practice or learning, in these days following you, even if the progress is fast, it is not too prominent, at least not as good as the child of Jiang and Xia." The priest's voice was more humble, said: "I dare not doubt your vision, but she is indeed very ordinary."

Jing Jiu looked at the fireworks in the night sky, thinking that no matter which fireworks were brighter and more beautiful, after all, it was just a firework, so why bother about them.

The priestess went on to say: "The ritual hall was carefully checked a few days ago and she has no blood relationship with the chairman of Xuanyu Company."

Jing Jiu said, "Yes."

"Now she is my heir. It doesn't matter if it is revealed, but my doubts are still lingering."

The priestess said: "Whether it is appearance, temperament, temperament, qualifications, she is very ordinary. Her biological parents have no stories, but you are willing to show signs on her body and cure her disease ... Why? "

Jing Jiu turned around and looked at her and said, "She is really ordinary, what does that matter?"

The priestess thought he understood what he meant, and said with emotion: "Yeah, if it is a true genius, where does God need guidance."

Jing Jiu said: "No, I just met her in this world, whether she is a genius or an ordinary person, I don't care."

The priestess thought she understood what he wanted to say, smiled slightly, and retreated.

Yes, God does not need to care about these things.

...

...

The fireworks were too dazzling, and the lights from those warships passed through the atmosphere and mixed with the smog of the grassland carnival, making them more muddy.

Jing Jiu did not like the warships, nor did he like this feeling, and turned away from the terrace.

The two young girls Jiang and Xia and Huaxi have been sitting on their knees in the apse. They have not been able to become the successors of the priesthood, but they will also have corresponding duties in the final list.The whole sacrificial hall was busy at this time, and no one could take care of them. They could only stare at the petals of clear water in the celadon bowl. At this time, when he saw him coming back, he felt nervous.

A teenager who can determine the priesthood is naturally not an ordinary person, and it must be even more powerful than all the great people on this planet.

Who is he?Huaxi didn't dare to ask, Jiang and Xia finally let go of the priesthood's heavy responsibility for more than ten years today. After relaxing, he also had a lot of courage. He looked at him seriously and said, "Hello."

Jing Jiu ignored her.

Jiang and Xia had experience and did not feel frustrated. He continued: "We met a few times at Star Gate University."

Of course, Jing Jiu remembered who she was, only because of Bai Zao's experience, she had already made a decision on the day of her encounter on the lawn, and she would not speak to this dark-haired girl in any future situation.

The room became very quiet, and the sound of fireworks kept coming from the terrace.

Huaxi glanced at Jiang and Xia with sympathy, stepped forward to take her hand, and gave it a firm grip, expressing comfort.

The sound of fireworks on the grassland gradually became sparse until it disappeared, as if lively away from the world.

The battleship returned to space, the big figures who came to the celebration took the aircraft to return to their manor and official residence, and the carnival crowd gradually dispersed.

The whole world finally became truly quiet, and the priest took Zhong Lizi back to the apse.

There is no excitement left on Zhong Lizi's face, only fatigue and daze.

Suddenly from a poor girl in an underground block to the most respected person on the planet, no matter who it is, it takes time to digest this mental shock.

Seeing Jing Jiu, her eyes became much brighter, and just as she was about to say something to him, there were hurried footsteps outside the grey curtain.

A figure appeared on the gray curtain, and then a voice sounded: "There are some problems outside the altar."

Lai Ren is the bishop of the second city and the most trusted subordinate of the priestess.

There was a night breeze coming from the terrace, with a little coolness, and the hall became very quiet.

Everyone understands the meaning of this sentence.

Just after the new priestess was elected, would anyone want to have a branch?

Who dares to disrespect the priestess on this planet?

Huaxi's eyes showed fear, and Jiang and Xia held her in her arms and patted her on the back.

Zhong Lizi looked at Jing Jiu and stopped talking.

At this moment, they saw a scene that they had never imagined.

The priestess saluted Jing Jiu seriously and said in the most humble manner: "The world is stupid, please pity."

Jing Jiu said: "I will kill a few."

...

(The conversation between the priestess and Jing Jiu was to answer the puzzles of several readers. In addition, I would like to say hello to my mother in heaven.)
