35. The encounter between the dragon and the bishop
The more I walked towards the center of the city, there were more and more people gathered along the way. Long Ming lay on Oreo's shoulder and found that all the young and middle-aged people were young and middle-aged. There were very few old people. The young and girls painted bright patterns on their cheeks. Unlike the totems of the beast tribe that were full of power and intimidation, these petal-shaped patterns were warm and vivid, and all kinds of colors were mixed. At first glance, it looked like flowers blooming on them.
It was as if overnight, the city came alive again because of its believers.
Flowers were placed casually on the roadside, picked by the rare Satoye girl and put them on her hair. Flowers and life bloomed on her thick hair. They crossed their hands on their chests and lowered their heads to the direction of the statue of the Goddess of Life. The sunlight was warm and dispelled the haze of the previous few days. Long Ming heard a pleasant song from the mouths of the boys and girls, mixed with the laughter of children, gathering into an invisible power that poured into the statue of the Goddess of Life.
"We believe in, we chase, and we are like a spark."
"Life is the stream that flows forever, the brilliant sunshine, the tender teeth that break through the ground, and the fire of hope that never falls in our hearts."
"Great Goddess of Life, all our glory will eventually belong to your crown. May your starry eyes always be on your most loyal believers."
Long Ming listened to the hymn of the goddess of life, looked at the group of young boys and girls singing and dancing, and looked up at the statue of the goddess of life in the middle of the city. The gurgling spring water poured out from her water altar, and the crystal clear water droplets reflected a rainbow in the sunlight. The edge of the pool was filled with flowers by the people of the city. Her people of faith knelt on the bluestone slab and offered their blessings to the goddess.
Oreo and the other four stood on the edge of the crowd and did not disturb them. The people in the city knelt in front of the statue of the Goddess of Life and prayed in an orderly manner.
Long Ming suddenly felt a strong gaze. He looked down and saw that the little boy who threw flowers at him in front was not far away. He also held a flower in his little hand. When Long Ming saw him, he immediately laughed and waved his chubby little hand to greet Long Ming.
"hello."
Long Ming thought about it and waved his paws at the little boy expressing his friendship: "Hello."
Carlo stood in front of Oreo, and Long Ming was lying on Oreo's shoulder, just in time to chat with this little guy.
The little boy's mother was kneeling on the ground and closed her eyes and praying seriously. He probably felt bored, so he ran to Long Ming's side with his calf, looked up at him, and asked curiously: "Are you here to play? I haven't seen anyone outside for a long time. Is it fun outside?"
"I want to go outside, too, but my mother doesn't allow me to go out, saying that there is a big demon outside that will eat me."
Maybe I've been holding it in for a long time, and the little boy's problem is like a cannonball, and I'm very curious about Long Ming and the others.
"Hey, I gave this flower to you. I have been raising it for a long time before it blooms."
Long Ming looked at the enthusiastic little guy and wanted to get off Oreo. Oreo observed around before putting the fat cub on the ground.
"Thank you." Long Ming took the flower and gave the flower in his claws back to the little boy: "Then I will give this flower to you."
The little boy suddenly laughed, his little tiger teeth revealed, and he was very happy: "Are you here to play Satoye?"
Long Ming nodded: "Yes, is there anything fun here?"
"Then wait, the city lord will come out. The city lord will dance the life dance, which will be great." The little boy immediately smiled even happier: "He is the most believing in the goddess here, and we all like him very much." As he said that, he gestured with his hands.
"We'll see together at that time." The little boy grabbed his clothes shyly and looked at this cute boy in anticipation. He was really beautiful. His big golden eyes were like sunshine, his skin was white, and his cheeks were chubby, just like the little flower girl in the fairy tale that his mother showed him.
"Yes, do you want to eat candy?" Long Ming remembered that there were a few honey candies hidden in his cloak bag, which was given to him by Gru in the morning.
The little boy scratched his head silly. Just as he was about to say something, his mother's call came from behind him.
"Will, where are you?"
Long Ming saw the little boy named Will hesitate and ran to his mother, then said something, pointing his finger in Long Ming's direction, and looked excited.
The woman saw Oreo and the others and picked up the little boy, walked to Long Ming, and said in a gentle voice: "Hello, I am Will's mother."
Oreo also picked up the fat cub: "Hello, ma'am."
"Our Will wants to watch the dance of life with your baby. Do you mind? This child is just so stubborn." The woman said apologetically.
Oreo smiled slightly: "There are all cubs, you don't have to mind."
The woman felt relieved and stood not far from Oreo. Long Ming blinked at the little boy. Will immediately smiled and made a smile at Long Ming.
"...dong...dong..." The muffled drum beat sound came from a distance, and the crowd consciously separated the way, allowing the city lord's guard to pass through. The escort wearing soft armor was painted with colorful flower patterns on his face, with a solemn and solemn expression, with a thin sword hanging on his waist, and a silver helmet shining. Four people in front were responsible for the way. One of them rode a white winged pegasus in the middle, and the guards behind him were playing the flower drum, and flowers fell all over the ground.
The citizens of Satoye like to wear armless robes, which are bright and rich in colors and are irregular. Both men and women will wear various round ornaments on their arms, most of which are carved in flower patterns, or use flower juice to outline flower vines on their arms, extending to their wrists, which are very distinctive of Satoye.
Long Ming looked at it in a flash. As the distance got closer, he also saw the city lord who was the most popular among the city people. He was a tall and thin young man, very young, seemed to be in poor health, and his face was a little pale. He was wearing a robe with a fur collar. On the hot weather, he cuffed his cuffs like a cold and hid his whole body in a white robe.
"Hey, the city lord's health seems to be getting worse and worse. What should I do? The city lord has no heir yet?"
"Don't talk nonsense. As the most loyal believer of the goddess of life, the goddess will definitely bless him."
"I hope so. When the City Lord was the City Lord, the light of the Statue of the Statue of Life was unprecedentedly strong, which shows that the goddess also liked the City Lord very much."
"Forget it, I won't say it anymore. I hope the goddess will bless us. Not long ago, Priest Alan showed us the blessing of God of Light, which made me feel a sense of guilt. After all, we are not believers of God of Light."
"Prince Allen is such a good person."
"Actually, I think the God of Light is also good."
"What are you talking about? The Goddess of Life is our faith. Next time you say this, I will tell the Lord of the City and let the Lord of the City and punish you."
………
Long Ming listened to the conversation between the people of Satoye and turned his attention to the city lord. He was held by Oreo, so he looked far away.
I saw that there was a clearing in front of the statue of the Goddess of Life, covered with thick layers of flowers. The thin city lord got off the horse, handed the robe on his body to the guards beside him, and then took his sword forward.
A silver armor shone with light in the sun, her back was straightened, and she stood beside the goddess of life. Long Ming looked up at the statue of the goddess of life. The light around her instantly became strong. The goddess's beautiful face was hidden in the white light, as if it was a miracle.
The people of the city knelt on the ground again, sang the song of life in a low voice, only Oreo and Carlo stood out there.
What kind of dance will the city lord dance?
Long Ming opened his eyes wide and watched the young man pull out his sword. The cold light overflowed, and then began to dance. Although he was a big man, his movements were firm and soft, his dancing posture was agile, and there was a strong beauty in the opening and closing. Even at the end, some of the collar of his clothes were exposed.
It can be seen that the young city lord's health is really bad. After the dance, he knelt in front of the statue of the Statue of Life with one knee, gasping slightly, and his hands shaking with the hilt of the sword.
He looked straight at the goddess. Long Ming saw a strange look on his face, painful and happy, confused and crazy. The dark brown eyes were full of dark colors, which was a very rich and strange emotion. Long Ming frowned and always felt that the city lord's eyes were a little wrong, just like... it was like looking at the lover's eyes, or the kind that he could not get!
Long Ming was shocked by his thoughts, and claws couldn't help but grab Oreo's clothes, raised his body a little, and he felt as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
The city lord seemed to be blaspheming the gods.
In Azerik, believers cannot fall in love with his God. Love will make their faith no longer pure and full of greed and darkness.
He looked up at the statue and found that her light was dimmer than before, as if she was covered with a shadow.
After the sword dance was finished, the city lord knelt on one knee on the ground, closed his eyes and sang the song of life.
The people of Satoye City on the ground also sang in a low voice, the voice became larger and gathered the faith of the whole city. The light of the goddess statue illuminated the front again. The milky white halo fell into the pool, and the water of the pool became clearer, and Long Ming smelled the sweet smell again.
"Did you see that halo? I heard that it is the main material for making "The Tears of the God of Love." Seger looked at the fat little boy seriously and couldn't help but whisper: "When the Archbishop eliminates the demonic energy and the goddess emits the halo of faith again, the water in the pool can make wine."
"I'll buy a bottle secretly and let's drink it together." Seg said happily.
The chanting continued, and Long Ming observed the changes in the goddess statue. He felt that his guess was correct. The dimness of the goddess' light had a lot to do with the city lord.
Not far from the street, a gray-haired old man was helped off the carriage by a little priest who was only twelve or thirteen years old.
"Article, why don't we go to Priest Alan to rest?" The little priest complained a little, "You are so old, and you still want to listen to music, and don't pay attention to your body."
"Haha, it's not hindering, it's okay to finally come out and relax." The simple-dressed old man touched his white beard, and the two walked slowly.
The little priest led the way, and not long after the two of them saw Oreo and the others.
After all, they are the only ones standing, which is very conspicuous.
As he got closer, the Archbishop's pace became slower and slower. He squinted his eyes at the man holding the child, grabbed the little priest beside him, and asked tremblingly: "Little Adam, have you ever seen a tail under the little cloak?"
The little priest was used to it and corrected the Archbishop's mistake without squinting: "No, Master Bishop, there is no tail in front of you. You are old and have a bad memory. When you go out, you forgot to take your reading glasses. Now you must have read it wrong."
"Last time you misread a person. The farmer just followed the trend and permed his curly hair. You insisted that he was possessed by the hell swamp Hydra demon, and his hair turned into a snake."
"We were driven out at night and didn't even drink a sip of hot soup."
"But, little Adam, that tail is still shaking in front of me." The Archbishop's eyes were so narrowed that he almost couldn't see it, but he still felt that there was a short and fat tail under the cloak in front, swaying around lively.
"You are dizzy and misread." The little priest swore.
The Archbishop hesitated to look at the fat tail. It obviously belonged to the cub. Did he really read it wrong? He touched his white beard and slowly walked towards the shaking tail.
Long Ming was looking seriously and suddenly felt his cloak being touched. He turned his head and found that it was a child and a gray-haired old man.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Long Ming asked angrily with his head down and said.
The Archbishop narrowed his eyes and then squinted his eyes. He always felt that the cub in front of him was a human cub and a while, but he still liked the polite little guy very much. He touched his white beard and said kindly with a smile: "Little baby, your tail is exposed outside the cloak."
Oreo and the Czech looked at the old man, and Carlo's momentum was even darker, and Seg was so scared that he shivered.
When Long Ming heard this, his eyes widened in shock. The old man discovered his original body!
Seeing that the old man approaching him and he wanted to say something, Long Ming felt nervous, his throat heated, and a small flame naturally spit out of his mouth, which by chance burned the old man's white beard.
When the little priest saw it, he rushed to extinguish the fire and save the white beard. Unfortunately, most of it was burned out, and only saved a miserable strand of it left on the archbishop's chin.
Seeing that the old man looked desperate, he held the child's hand tightly, as if he was about to faint on the ground at any time.
Long Ming's heart skipped: Oh no, he seemed to have been in trouble.
Big Dragon and Oreo:…………
Seger saw that the little fat cub was almost hiding in his cloak, and he had no time to think about why he was spitting fire. He looked at the old grandfather with a gray face, and he was confused for a while, and turned to the little fat cub in a very refreshing way. He patted the old grandfather on the shoulder and tried hard to comfort him: "The little fat cub is still a child. Can you forgive him? I will compensate you with a fake beard. Do you think it's okay?"
The Archbishop's eyes rolled and he fainted. He had been taking care of his beard for several years!
