Xie Linlang looked at the saint with amusement, wondering if she was one of his own tribe.

I don't know if her eyes were too intense or something else, but after the saint walked down the steps of the royal palace, she actually looked in her direction as if she was aware of it.

Her gaze swept across the place without stopping, and then, surrounded by the servants of the gods, she walked across the carpet with perfect manners and stepped onto the altar to pray to the gods step by step.

Everyone's eyes followed the saint. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, the image of the saint has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over the years. What's more, in order to prove innocence, everyone in the royal palace lit up the palace sand.

Looking at the bright marks on the back of the saint's hand, the people who were originally doubtful gradually dispelled their doubts. Today is the birth day of the gods. Under the gaze of the gods, they believe that no one can lie.

The backs of the hands of each of the servants of the gods were also lit with palace sand. They would sprinkle holy water for baptism in front of the royal palace every day. The traces had never faded, so they seemed more trustworthy.

The saint felt a little proud when she saw that everyone's eyes on her had returned to their previous piety.

Fools are fools. Even if someone tells the truth, as long as she is a little confused under the halo of the goddess and in the name of God, they will respect her as before.

With this pride, she performed the first two rituals of the prayer ceremony with a serious and dignified face.

Everything is going well, and soon it will be time to sprinkle the holy water. At that time, the holy water will flow out from the middle of the altar during the prayer ceremony. The holy water will flow along the stone channel at the feet of the goddess statue and to the four edges of the altar. exit.

When the water flows down, the people will take turns to catch it with silver vessels. During this process, the servants of God will kneel by the channel on the altar, holding holy water in their hands, and sprinkle it on the people queuing below.

Being sprinkled with water is also a blessing, and no one will jump in line in front of the gods. Everyone walks past the altar with a very pious heart, receives the holy water, and is baptized by the servants of God.

This holy water is different from the holy water usually used in the royal palace. It is drawn from a well.

This well has a great history. It is said that hundreds of years ago, a plague occurred in the Swamp Kingdom and many people died. The goddess was very sad when she saw that her people were suffering, so she shed a tear.

The tear turned into a spring. After people drank from the spring water, they recovered and the plague ended.

The common people who saved their lives repaired the spring and turned it into a well. They also built an altar around the well. On the altar, the largest forest goddess statue in the Swamp Country was erected. It's hundreds of years old.

This sacred well is not open on ordinary days, but will be opened only on the day of prayer.

In the Swamp Kingdom, it represents life, health and gifts. Many people travel long distances from other cities to come to the royal city just to drink a sip of water from the sacred well on the day of the prayer ceremony.

Because this is the only place in the Swamp Kingdom where gods have appeared, the royal city of Luoye City is also called the Holy City by believers.

Xie Linlang mentally recalled the records she had read in the "Book of Seven Nights" before, and looked at the altar with interest.

But at this time, she noticed that there were a few people in the crowd who looked not quite right. They looked haggard, but their eyes were fiery and bright, much like they would behave after taking medicine.

Xie Linlang pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that she might not be the only one trying to cause trouble today.

But she soon felt relieved, because she would strike first before anyone else!

The saint looked at the people deployed in the crowd and smiled.

She would do it after the holy water ceremony, because for people with faith, when giving out holy water, it is the time when her personal image is the most glorious. She would not destroy it at this time, but after that there would be no problem.

Soon, the wellhead in the middle of the altar was opened, and a clear spring slowly surged up amidst the chants of the servants of the gods.

Because the well is on a higher ground, everyone can see it spreading out.

At this time, all the people stopped making noises, but listened to the singing quietly and looked at the saint with fiery eyes.

The saint took off her gorgeous robe, revealing the plain white clothes underneath. She walked up the seven steps, then knelt down by the well and baptized herself with the first handful of holy water.

It is said that this holy water can eliminate all evil in the world. Therefore, the saint who has been baptized by the holy water is extremely noble and holy in the eyes of everyone at this moment.

Everyone's admiration for her also climbed to a new height at this time!

Soon, water flowed from all sides of the altar, and everyone held silverware to catch the water. At this time, no one spoke. The servants of the gods knelt and chanted, and sprinkled water on everyone from the canal. Next to the sacred well, every time the saint prayed, she would hold a handful of water and water herself from the beginning.

Because the terrain in the middle is the highest, all the people can see her piety and see that she represents the people of the world and is praying to the goddess.

This was originally the most sacred moment in the hearts of all people, but unexpectedly, at such a pious and quiet time, someone suddenly screamed!

"Saint... the saint's guard sand is missing!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people who were praying in their hearts and emptying their minds all turned their eyes on the saint!

After the saint heard the harsh sound, she was stunned for a moment and looked down at her hands.

Her fingers were white and flawless, but when she turned over, the "gonggong sand" on her left hand, which originally symbolized steadfastness, was gone...

For a moment, everyone was stunned! Immediately afterwards, a woman collecting water looked at the servant of God who was baptizing herself on the stage, and shouted in shock.

"The gonggong sand on the back of the servant's hand is also missing!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the servants of God again, and then they discovered that all the servants of God who had been dipped in holy water had the palace sand on their hands washed off!

But usually, they would use the holy water from the royal palace to baptize everyone, but this has never happened. What does this mean?

This means that the goddess has appeared! The goddess is using this method to expose the royal palace's infidelity!

In the large square with tens of thousands of people, after a few seconds of eerie silence, the crowd suddenly erupted!

"The goddess has appeared! The people in the royal palace are unfaithful and betray the goddess. Their palace sand is fake!"

Following this shout, many angry people rushed to the altar, with such a posture that all the servants of God screamed in fright!

Xie Linlang witnessed this wonderful show. Seeing that the guards from the royal palace were coming this way, she turned sideways and said to Xiao Xi.

"You should go find the officials now and ask them to intervene in this matter. Wang Dian and King Zhao are the same species. How can they be alone at this time?"

Xiao Xi nodded, but asked again.

"Sir, what are you going to do?"

Xie Linlang looked at the rioting crowd and said in a soothing tone.

"There is no one in the palace right now. I'm going to sneak in and take a look. Maybe there will be a surprise."

(It’s not easy. It didn’t last until 12 o’clock today. Hahaha. Try to be faster tomorrow! Good night?)
