Chapter 596: Canonization Ceremony

Time flies, and the canonization ceremony of the Pingzhou Township God Beast has officially begun.

The place where the grand ceremony was held was still Yanhuang Temple, and Taoist Huangyang was also the host.

When the first ray of morning sun rises, the whole of Xiangping starts to get busy. Ordinary citizens in Xiangping also knew the importance of the Conferred God Ceremony, and gave the greatest degree of cooperation. With the rumored Nanli Suzaku guarding, Xiangping will definitely become the safest fortified city.

Uh, although most people don't know that Suzaku is still a child the size of a palm!

The Central Axis Avenue of Xiangping City was completely cleaned up, and there were crowds of people on both sides, but the hundred-foot-wide road was empty.

The main city gate in the south direction was slowly opened under the joint efforts of hundreds of wrestlers to turn the winch, and the guard of honor composed of thousands of people slowly stepped into Xiangping City from the south gate.

Behind the guard of honor is a giant statue of Suzaku that is more than ten feet high.

The super carriage rushed out by the public loser carried the giant statue, and in front of it were 999 carefully selected war horses struggling to pull it.

The giant statue slowly passed through the city gate. Fortunately, Xiangping has been expanded repeatedly since Shang Ji came to power. Otherwise, this giant statue would really have no way to enter Xiangping City through the city gate.

"Respectfully invite Sparrow God to enter Xiangping!"

When the statue was about to enter Xiangping City, Tai Shici, who was in charge of carrying the statue, stood on his horse and hissed loudly.

"Respectfully invite Sparrow God to enter Xiangping!"

The people near the city gate also roared in unison.

"Chirp!"

A red light flashed across the statue, and a soft sound resounded through the sky.

Seeing the movement of the statue, the crowd immediately became more excited, shouting slogans such as Sparrow God's protection, and watching the huge statue slowly pass through the city gate.

Tai Shici led 3,000 elite troops to escort all the way, and wherever the Suzaku statue went along the way, there was a burst of cheers.

In order to take care of the emotions of the people, and because the statue was too huge and heavy, the entire team moved very slowly, and it took almost two hours to reach the Yanhuang Temple.

However, Shang Ji Liu Yi and other high-level officials in Pingzhou and many guests who watched the ceremony had been waiting for a long time.

"coming!"

As soon as the giant Suzaku statue came into sight, someone suddenly shouted, and the square in front of the Yanhuang Temple suddenly fell into carnival.

"Sparrow God!"

"Sparrow God!"

"Sparrow God!"

……………………

The cheers continued to ring out. In the known history, the only one who took Suzaku as a national beast was the rumored ancient Celestial Dynasty Great Zhou.

This implication is too important to the soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou. Even Shang Ji himself seriously underestimated the sacred status of Suzaku in the hearts of the aborigines.

If Shang Ji was in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, he would be able to see that Xiangping's attributes such as public security and popular sentiment are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the faces of the representatives of the princes who came to watch the ceremony were not so good-looking, and they all looked at the huge statue of Suzaku with complicated expressions. However, compared to the number of delegates watching the ceremony, compared to the people of Pingzhou present, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the ocean.

The unhappy performance of the representatives will not affect the overall situation at all!

The huge Suzaku statue slowly moved to the predetermined place and stopped. Shang Ji took a step forward, jumped onto the prepared high platform, and waved his hand downward.

The frenzied atmosphere quickly cooled down, with Shang Ji as the center, the excited people quickly quieted down, looked at Shang Ji with admiration, and waited for him to speak.

"People of Pingzhou!"

Shang Ji transported the real yuan, and with the help of the unique characteristics of the real yuan, he spread his voice as far as possible.

"Ji started at the end of the century. He was protected by the heaven above and trusted by the people below. He fought bandits, resisted the Xianbei, fought against the Yellow Turbans, flattened Wuhuan, and expanded the territory. With a humble body, he was able to accomplish this feat thanks to the support of his father and elders in Pingzhou. My father and elders are deeply affectionate, and I can never repay you. Fortunately, God has pity on Pingzhou, and bestowed the divine beast Suzaku on him. Suzaku sits in Xiangping and protects Pingzhou. Disasters will not be revealed, and enemies will not invade. This monstrous blessing, I will share with my elders!"

"Long live Pingzhou!"

"Long live the Sparrow God!"

"Long live the State Shepherd!"

……………………………

As soon as Shang Ji's voice fell,

Shocking cheers immediately came to mind.

Moreover, the cheers were still spreading around at an astonishing speed, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Xiangping was in a sea of ​​cheers.

As for the representatives watching the ceremony, their faces were even more stiff, but no one dared to criticize the cheers that were obviously overstepped.

Even Cai Yong, who was Liu Bian's representative, was only trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to criticize rashly. In such a fanatical environment, to accuse Shang Ji of overreaching, I am afraid that the people will not be directly torn alive!

The fanatical cheers lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and then gradually subsided under Shang Ji's gesture.

"Now, I announce that the canonization ceremony of the Zhenguo Divine Beast has officially begun!"

With Shang Ji's shout, the canonization ceremony officially began.

The next work will be handed over to Taoist Huang Yang to preside over it. Taoist Huang Yang is an expert in such large-scale ceremonies.

Under the auspices of Huang Yang Taoist, each process proceeded in an orderly manner.

This process seemed sacred and solemn to many people, and the officials and people who participated in it at close range did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing the progress of the ceremony.

But Shang Ji couldn't be serious no matter what, thinking that the highly respected Nanli Suzaku was doing everything possible to beg for pills from Liu Shi in the back hall at this time, Shang Ji wanted to laugh.

Nowadays, not many people know the true situation of Suzaku, and only Yanhuang knows outside the Pingzhou forces. Shang Ji is not mentally handicapped, how could he tell everyone that Suzaku is still a cub?

To the outside world, Suzaku itself is a very powerful strategic deterrent. Thinking about the terrifying beasts recorded in the ancient books that can easily destroy cities and countries, it is estimated that there will not be many people who dare to take the initiative to fight the idea of ​​​​Pingzhou.

It's just that the occasion is not right now, and Shang Ji is not good at acting too much, so he can only pretend to be majestic and keep quiet.

The ceremony process is very cumbersome, the ghost knows which pile of old papers Deng Yan, Huang Yang and others picked up the ceremony process from, and after two hours, the boring ceremony will come to an end.

"My lord, you can invite the sparrow god!"

Huang Yang trotted to Shang Ji's side and said in a low voice.

Shang Ji was shocked when he heard the words, and finally got to the point. After a day of tossing, he was more tired than fighting on the battlefield.

"Send a message to my sister and ask her to prepare!"

Huang Yang, who was signaled by Shang Ji, also returned to his position, shouting: "Please God Sparrow to bless the people of Pingzhou!"

"boom……"

The crowd suddenly became excited, and everyone present immediately remembered the blessing from heaven when Shang Ji got married, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Suzaku to appear on the stage.

"Chirp!"

A soft cry spread throughout the audience, and a fiery red figure suddenly rushed out from behind the Yanhuang Temple.

The figure was more than ten feet long, wrapped in the scorching sun, and the dazzling brilliance enveloped the audience. Accompanied by the truly melodious chirping, the red figure soared into the sky, circling and flying rapidly above Xiangping City.

"Ding, player Shangji, the Suzaku of Nanli wants to become the guardian animal of your faction, will you allow it?"

While everyone was amazed at the beauty and nobility of Suzaku, Shang Ji heard the system prompt.

"agree!"

Without hesitation, Shang Ji chose to agree.

"Chirp!"

As Shang Ji sat down to make a choice, Suzaku uttered a long cry, emitting a burst of dazzling brilliance.

With Suzaku itself as the source, streams of red light sprinkled on the earth.

All those who come into contact with the light feel a burst of warmth all over their bodies, like the sun in early spring, warm and full of vitality!

"Ding, congratulations to player Shangji, the faction under your name has been recognized by Nanli Suzaku, and Suzaku has become the national beast of your faction. The probability of fire occurrence in your sphere of influence is reduced by 50%. The activity of monsters and fairy beasts has increased.

Your army's resistance to fire damage is increased by 20%, the success rate of enemy forces using fire attack skills against your army is reduced by 30%, and the damage received from fire attacks is reduced by 30%. "

"Ding, congratulations player Shangji, you have obtained the exclusive skill [Suzaku Summoning]!"

"Ding, congratulations, player Shangji, you have obtained a special item [Suzaku's Feather]!"

"Ding, congratulations player Shangji, you have obtained the blueprint of the unique special building [Zhuque Pavilion]!"

"Ding, congratulations player Shangji, you have obtained the training cheats for the unique special unit [Fengwuwei]."

"Ding, congratulations player Shangji, since your territory got Suzaku as the beast of the town, your luck has been greatly improved!"

"Ding, congratulations to player Shang Ji, your general Su Huan has successfully transferred to Nanli God General, your general Su Huan's strength has increased a little, and it is currently 97 points (lower human level)!"

"Ding, congratulations player Shangji, your Taoist priest Huang Yang has successfully advanced to S-level Taoist priest Huang Yang."

A series of system upgrade sounds rang beside his ears, Shang Ji ignored other achievements, and looked at Huang Yang who was in charge of the ceremony in the center of the high platform at first glance.

At this time, Taoist Huangyang's eyes were closed, his clothes were windless, his beard was flying, his Taoist robe was cold, and he was quietly suspended in the air.

The purple enveloping air lingered around Huang Yang Taoist's side, and the whole person looked sacred and solemn.

But above Taoist Huangyang, patches of dark clouds suddenly began to appear in the clear sky, and the dark clouds gathered quickly, covering the entire Yanhuang Temple in the blink of an eye.

I saw dark clouds rolling, and lightning flashing in the clouds, as if there might be lightning strikes at any time.

Huang Yang also opened his eyes at this time, staring solemnly at the thunder cloud above, slowly waving the dust whisk in his hand, and took out several talismans in succession from his right hand, and a Ruyi radiating emerald green light floated above his head.

And this abnormal change also attracted everyone's attention, and the crowd was a little commotion because of this weird scene.

"Chirp!"

An angry hiss resounded through the sky, and the red Suzaku figure in the sky roared at Jieyun, and the churning Jieyun suddenly stopped.

Shang Ji, who was frowning and observing below, didn't know why, suddenly Fu Ling's heart was as normal, he took out his nameless gun, poured it with real energy, and ruthlessly threw it at Jieyun in the sky!
