Chapter 1873 - 442: Repaying Her Gift of Life – Life Is Like a Play (Part 3)
Everyone knelt on the ground, in unison, without a trace of hesitation, the sound like a mountain roaring and a sea raging, mixed with powerful strength, lingering above the square for a long time.
This scene shocked everyone sitting on the viewing platform.
In the crowd, only one person stood alone, appearing so striking.
Mingyue quietly tugged at his garment: "Master..."
Yun Miao gritted his teeth and finally knelt down, his forehead touching the ground, his eyes filled with deep unwillingness.
Yun Ya sneered, wasn’t this a cult? Who knows what bewitching potion Ji Lanyi has given them to make these people so insane.
One by one, people lined up to come forward, hands clasped, kneeling in front of her, the staff was handed over by both hands and raised above the head, receiving a clean bottle from the servant, holding a willow branch in the left hand, touching the water in the clean bottle, a gentle flick, unknown words murmured in the mouth, the kneeling ones, grateful to the point of tears, kowtowed three times, only then satisfied to leave the platform and stand where they were.
Then the next one...
Yun Ya found it utterly laughable, is this the grand ceremony of worship? Making thousands to worship oneself, does she really think she is the Bodhisattva Guanyin?
As time gradually passed, the sun grew hotter, yet Ji Lanyi showed no sign of fatigue, remaining noble and sacred, a gentle, almost compassionate smile on her face.
With such patience, how many in the world can endure? If she doesn’t succeed, who else can?
Yun Miao stood at the end of the line, seeing the number of people in front diminish, he pursed his lips, his gaze slightly drooped.
Mingyue glanced at his back, secretly clenched her fist, should anything unexpected occur, she would protect the master to the death.
The person in front of him also walked away.
Yun Miao slowly walked to her, knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground.
Cool water sprinkled on the center of his brow, before him was the heavy golden skirt of a woman, embroidered with unparalleled patterns, demonstrating extraordinary nobility everywhere.
After three kowtows, he told himself in his heart, these three resounding kowtows were for the life grace she gave this body.
From now on, it’s either your death or mine.
He stood and left, throughout, he did not look up at her once.
Mingyue quietly let out a sigh of relief, she didn’t recognize him.
Yet before she could completely ease her mind, a faint voice suddenly sounded: "Stop."
Yun Miao’s steps paused slightly, but he did not turn back.
"What does the Queen want?" His voice was low and hoarse, very pleasant.
However, there were few in this world who had heard his voice.
"You carry a heavy killing intent on you, young man, a heart full of slaughter is not a good thing." The gentle voice evoked the murmur of a dream mother, easily stirring the softest corner of someone’s heart.
However, in his eyes, there was only deep darkness.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Thank you for the Queen’s reminder, I will remember."
After speaking, he left without turning back.
The people below the platform looked at him with dissatisfaction. The Queen spoke to him actively, a tremendous honor, yet this person was so ungrateful, not understanding a bit of courtesy, truly infuriating.
Yun Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, gazing at that figure, her brow slightly furrowing.
Why did she feel this person’s back looked familiar, as if...
Impossible, how could Miaomiao be here? And this person isn’t deaf or mute, it couldn’t be Miaomiao...
She must miss Miaomiao too much, to have such hallucinations.
Yun Ya raised her hand to pinch her brow, her heart slightly chilled.
The so-called ceremony of worship is actually all citizens receiving the Queen’s "purification." The so-called purification is the Queen using holy water to rid them of illnesses and disasters, promising a year free of troubles, health, the people believing this firmly, trusting the Queen even more.
Though not affiliated with a particular religion, in reality, using the guise of dispelling disasters or curing diseases to mask the control, spiritual manipulation, and exploitation of followers, ultimately obtaining their unconditional allegiance and obedience, making them abandon common social values, causing harm to society, personal freedom, health, education, and democratic systems; by definition, this organization could be termed a cult.
One wonders what those so-called big figures attending the ceremony think upon seeing this scene.
She uses brainwashing and mental control to satisfy her perverted need for control, Yun Ya only found it infinitely ironic.
"My subjects, today, here, I must announce something to everyone."
The low, soft voice seemed to carry infinite power, drifting into each listener’s ear, everyone gazed at the woman on the high platform with worship and admiration, as if she were the source of all their light and hope.
