Chapter 253 - Tsk, This Little Mouth is Really Sweet (2/2)
Gong Moran said indifferently, “There’s no harm, just wait until they all completely assemble, then this Lord will go.”
Nan Xun sighed in her heart, saying to Little Eight, “No wonder big boss is worthy of being a great personage ah, even his grand appearance has to wait until the finale.”
Little Eight said, “Look at your envious tone, you can also have this chance in the future.”
On the second day, the OP State Teacher indeed came late.
The location of the ritual was located at a drill ground inside the palace, the highest seat was set for Nanyun Kingdom’s old monarch, but he hadn’t come yet. At the lower seats, the three kingdoms’ envoys and Nanyun princes were already standing in order, followed by civil and military officials and imperial guards.
The huge drill ground was surrounded by soldiers and the common people crowded outside the circle made by those soldiers, all looking inside with their tippy-toes.
Before long, the golden yellow dragon palanquin of the king was seen followed by State Teacher’s luxurious white palanquin not far behind. Moran Hall’s disciples surrounded the white palanquin and Nan Xun stood at the place closest to it.
Seeing the monarch and State Teacher appeared together, the common people kneeled together, welcoming this great and solemn worshipping ceremony.
The old monarch walked out from his dragon palanquin and walked majestically towards the dragon chair on the highest platform. The three kingdoms’ envoys all bowed their heads to greet him along with Nanyun’s princes and ministers.
After the old monarch took his seat, the mysterious State Teacher slowly opened the white gauze curtain.
A piece of white brocade gown appeared, followed by a pair of white boots.
The man dressed in white waistcoat and flowing cloud brocade robe unhurriedly got off the palanquin.
At that time, the newly rising sun casted oblique rays, the golden-orange ray of light gleamed on his unparalleled face, as if covering him with a layer of holy light.
Although those ministers often saw this State Teacher inside the palace, but seeing him like this still blinded them with an unprecedented beauty.
The man glanced at the back of the palanquin, and Moran Hall disciples in white short robes all followed behind him with various tools in their hands.
The line of disciples was headed by a beautiful woman in white, holding a snake coiled sword with a solemn expression, while the other disciples behind her held talisman paper and incense burner.
“Inviting State Teacher.” The Nanyun Kingdom monarch gave an order from his seat.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial guard’s chief sang loudly, “Respectfully welcoming State Teacher—”
The beautiful man in white walked towards the high platform step by step, light but steady, his every step as if walking on white cloud.
When a gust of wind passed by, his white robe rose up like a burst of white breeze, a rippling white billow.
Right at this moment, all eyes were gathered on State Teacher’s every movement.
The altar had been prepared in the middle of drill ground. There was a huge furnace on the altar, brown sand filled that furnace.
Gong Moran directly walked to the altar and stood fixedly, then slightly nodded to the old monarch.
With a gesture from the old monarch, the imperial guard’s chief called out loudly, “The grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for good blessings begins—”
Nan Xun presented the sword in her hands, it was a very strange sword because its body was wrapped by a big lifelike snake with its mouth wide open, facing the sword’s tip.
This snake had a pair of fleshy wings, people who looked at it would know at a glance that it was the legendary beast—the rising serpent.
The rising serpent was one of the oldest sacred beasts, it could ride the clouds and fly on the mist, it’s just that its appearance was frightful, not at all suitable with any ‘good fortune’.
Nan Xun looked at the weird sword, her eyes swept across the snake body coiled around the sword and her brows suddenly twisted.
