I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 69: Climb to the Conferred God Platform and show your magical powers! (Second update)
Although Wushan County is still shrouded in a severe drought, since the Dragon King Festival, which is considered a cultural event by most people, the atmosphere in the city is no longer as dead as before.

Large factories are working overtime to produce the clothes that Dragon King will wear.

Various cultural departments also took out the musical instruments that had accumulated dust at the bottom of the box and wiped them again.

The topic of Kiriyama County remains high, and the words Dragon King Festival also appeared at the top of the hot search list for the first time.

Netizens are also paying close attention to this event. The folk culture bureaus in other towns have also rushed to catch up with this wave of traffic and published a lot of popular science knowledge related to folk culture, just like the wave of traffic.

Everyone believed that this was a large-scale event prepared by the local government to relieve the frustrations of citizens in the disaster-stricken city.

No one knew that the little-known God-conferring Platform at the foot of Nanshan Mountain was the most important part of the entire ceremony.

All the professors from the Folklore Department have rushed to Wushan County and gathered under the Conferring God Stage.

Professor Li Tai stood in front of everyone and ordered related matters, and ordered everyone to make complete preparations for the upcoming ceremony.

It is worth noting that the preparation work of professors and the preparation work of the people are completely different.

One group of professors went to buy the necessary things, while another group of professors went to the nearby ancient temple and Taoist temple to borrow magical instruments and Taoist robes.

During this period, you can see several porcelain bowls placed everywhere on the dense tree trunks in the woods of Nanshan.

Every morning, dew drops fall on the porcelain bowls. Over time, each porcelain bowl has received less than half a bowl of dew.

Zhao Qi ordered people to carefully collect the dew. Li Tai was puzzled by this scene.

"Inspector Zhao, what are we collecting this dew for?"

After Zhao Qi put the dew in three porcelain bowls, he covered the mouth of the bowl with red cloth, and then said:
"This is called rootless water. When water falls without roots, it becomes pure water.

Pure water is offered to the altar, and gods are invited to come from thousands of miles away.This is the end of the ceremony. "

Li Tai nodded in understanding, and then carefully recorded Zhao Qi's words in the notebook he never left.

The folklore knowledge that Li Tai and other professors know is nothing more than some book culture.

Compared with the real folklore methods that Zhao Qi mastered, these book cultures are often one-sided.

Therefore, in order to better cooperate with Zhao Qi's series of actions in the future, the professors lowered their status and asked for advice humbly like students.

They spontaneously recorded the folklore knowledge explained by Zhao Qi so that they could delve deeper into it later.

Soon after, other professors from the Folklore Department came from all over the country and prepared the real things needed for the ceremony.

The lotus lamps invited from the temple were placed in the middle of the altar under the command of Zhao Qi.

The peach wood sword brought from the Taoist temple was placed on the left side of the altar with a stack of blank talismans.

The black witch robe borrowed from the deep mountain lady was also put on Zhao Qi with the help of several professors.

This black robe with long sleeves has a fairy-like appearance. Zhao Qi stood alone in front of the god table on the Conferred God Platform, giving him a sense of sight overlooking the world.

Lady Yan is a unique title in Wushan County, which refers to a woman who practices ancient witchcraft.

Although the relevant witchcraft has long been lost, the corresponding culture has been passed down in another form, such as Wangcang Duangong Opera.

Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the people were not enlightened and the overall medical level was low, so witch doctors became popular.

Inviting witches, making qingjiao, asking for medicine, treating various diseases, etc. were very important folk customs at that time.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty, Duangong was still a legitimate profession. According to orthodox records, there were 89 people in Duangong. Most of them hung black paint signs in front of their homes, with the word "tanmen" written in big letters on them.

Nowadays, this culture has disappeared, but it can still be seen occasionally in remote mountain residences.

The witch robe invited by the professors is actually an evolution of Taoist clothing.

Zhao Qi wears a Taoist four-sided hat on his head, a Taoist robe, and holds a lotus crown and a cloud broom.

There is a seven-star peach wood sword placed in front of the table, and the pen is held in the right hand, which is written on the table.

This is a classic image of integrity, but all this will not be seen by the public.

Because the surrounding area has been blocked by agents of the State Secret Service for several kilometers, even if the people are parading in the streets, they cannot get here.

Therefore, people only need to regard this as a normal cultural activity. The real folk customs will always exist in some way in places that ordinary people cannot see.

……

On the last night before the ceremony, every house in the city had lights on, and people, men, women, old and young, happily tried to receive the clothes they had received.

The shadows of opera can be seen in the clothes used in the ceremony, and together with the mask of the Rakshasa Ghost King, it once attracted the attention of many young people.

In today's society, the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture is still very popular. Young people respect it even if they don't like it. There is less tendency to worship foreign things.

Some people also heard the sound of helicopter propellers coming from outside the window, but no one knew that the large helicopter was transporting a huge snake spirit.

In two months, the seven-story octagonal exquisite tower in Nanshan was successfully completed.

As a huge golden bell hung on the top of the Linglong Tower, the person in charge of the construction party signed his name on the formal documents, officially declaring the project completed.

But what confuses all the workers is that they have just finished here, and the order over there was quickly issued, telling them to evacuate urgently and not to stay here.

Within an hour, Nanshan, which was originally bustling with people, fell silent again.

On the way to evacuate, the workers couldn't help but have confused discussions.

"You are so anxious to let us go. Did something happen?"

"I don't know, and when I went down the mountain today, I saw that the east side of the foot of Nanshan Mountain was blocked."

"I've found this project strange from the beginning, but it's done anyway. Just pay me. Who cares what it's for?"

A large number of construction teams were quickly evacuated away from Nanshan within an hour.

Only Zhao Qi and everyone from the Folklore Department were left at the scene.

The reason for the emergency evacuation was because the behemoth from Long County was about to arrive.

If the snake spirit is seen by these construction workers, it will probably be a big trouble.

Fortunately, the evacuation was timely. When the transport helicopter arrived over Nanshan, there were no more people waiting within a few kilometers of the place.

With Zhao Qi's help, Chen Xue ordered all agents performing blockade tasks to spread the blockade two kilometers outward.

In this way, even the agents of the State Secret Service would not know about the existence of the huge snake spirit.

The snake spirit poked its head out of the cage timidly. It didn't know where this place was, let alone the reason why it was suddenly transferred here.

Zhao Qi walked towards the snake spirit and said slowly:

"Tomorrow is the day when you can become a god, and this will be the place where you can become a god. After completing the canonization, I will personally enshrine your god in the Linglong Tower and give you enough incense power."

The snake spirit nodded excitedly after hearing this, and under Zhao Qi's command, he walked obediently through the altar and came to hibernate in the forest behind the altar.

At this point, everything is ready.

Under the leadership of Qin Tai, all the professors checked the previously listed list one last time to ensure that everything was ready. Then they followed Zhao Qi's instructions and put on their clothes and waited quietly for dawn.

At dawn the next day, around [-]:[-] a.m., citizens from various cities in Wushan County wore dragon king robes and Rakshasa masks, and took to the streets excitedly.

Under the command of the relevant local responsible persons, the people gathered on the main roads of the cities.

Even though the weather was unbearably hot, the people were very interested because of their curiosity.

Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in various major cities, and the vast procession stretched as far as the eye could see.

The same is true on Wushan Princess Road. Zhao Qi has already planned the marching route for the relevant departments in advance. At this moment, the relevant person in charge has already evacuated all the parade routes and is waiting for the official start of the ceremony.

The local media carried cameras, preparing to record this rare event.

Many media official websites even opened live broadcast links, attracting a large number of netizens to join them.

"Dear viewers, this is Longhua Avenue, Wushan County. Now we can see that all citizens have put on unique costumes and masks and appeared on the streets.

The Dragon King Festival ceremony will officially begin at seven o'clock. All citizens will march through the three main roads of Longhua Avenue and finally converge on the Yangtze River Bridge.

In addition, the same is true for other main cities in Wushan County.

It can be said that this is the largest folk cultural event in modern history with the largest number of participants and the most influential influence..."

The reporters said their prepared lines in front of the camera to warm up for the upcoming live broadcast.

All netizens only saw this lively scene, and no one knew that the atmosphere at the foot of Nanshan Mountain was in sharp contrast to this place.

On the God Conferred Altar, Zhao Qi sat quietly behind the altar.

The professors were also standing ready in the audience, just waiting for Zhao Qi to say the auspicious moment had arrived.

In the mountain forest behind the altar, big snakes lurk in it, and all the animals in the mountain avoid it. The birds in the forest gather in the sky to form a spectacular bird tide, lingering above the mountain forest, daring not to land for a long time.

When the hands slowly dropped to seven o'clock, gongs and drums sounded almost simultaneously in various places.

A huge parade began to move out, and the professors scattered from the Folklore Department walked in the front.

The professor held an incense burner in his hand, with three pillars of incense burning inside, and they set off with a mighty procession.

If there were drones that could take a high-altitude view at this moment, they would be surprised to find that the routes of all the parades in the main cities were not chaotic, but formed a huge formation.

At the altar, Zhao Qi reached out and grabbed a handful of white rice in the bowl next to him, and then drew a pattern on the table in one go. This pattern was exactly the same as the formations formed by the various parade routes.

At the right time, a deep shout suddenly came out.

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's take advantage of God's will and be immortalized as a god!"

As Zhao Qi finished speaking, an unknown wind swept through the forest.

The entire sky seemed a bit darker than before, and faint thunder could even be heard.

Zhao Qi stepped on the seven-star step and came to the altar step by step, keeping his steps intact.

Under the astonished gazes of all the professors, Zhao Qi formed a handprint with his hands, and then spoke plausibly:

"The fragrance is deep and equal to the universe, and the fragrance is ignited to penetrate the heavens!"

While speaking, Zhao used his handprints to pick up a blank talisman, and then flicked his wrist, causing the soft talisman to stand in his hand.

"The Nanchen Beidou is shining all over the sky, and the clouds of five colors are making noise!"

After finishing his words, Zhao Qi clamped the charm in his left hand, then took the Howling Wolf pen in his hand and started writing it with cinnabar.

The pen is like a knife, and every word is like a sword.

All of a sudden, a golden light appeared above the talisman, and at the moment when the golden light appeared, a thunderbolt suddenly came from above the clear sky!
"Rumble..."

The sound lasted for hundreds of miles, and the professors who were closest felt as if the thunder was exploding in their ears, and their whole bodies were shaken.

The people parading in each main city also raised their heads curiously and looked up, but the sky is clear for thousands of miles, how can there be any thunder and lightning?So they all wondered, did they hear it wrong just now?
They did not notice that the professors who were leading the way at the front of the team were all staring at the incense burners in their hands with solemn expressions.

Because Zhao Qi once told them that it would be auspicious if the incense ashes did not fall to the ground before the ceremony was over.

And now there is thunder out of thin air, it seems that the Conferred God Platform has already begun!

At the same time, the professors under the Conferred God Stage, even though they were mentally prepared, were still stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw the talisman in Zhao Qi's hand releasing dazzling golden light. Perhaps it was for this reason that the strong wind was blowing all around, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.

But their ears soon heard a loud shout from Zhao Qi:
"Thousands of stars launched a vision of great light, and the magic of ten thousand stars was shocked and broken!"

With a flick of Zhao Qi's wrist, the talisman burned instantly. Strangely enough, the howling mountain wind suddenly calmed down.

"Those who are waiting for the title, come to the altar, and all the past events will disappear with the clouds. Come!"

Hearing Zhao Qi's voice, the snake spirit who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised his head and crawled towards the Conferred God Platform with some hesitation, feeling frightened in his heart.

Conferred God, this is something that it doesn’t even dare to think about, so it can’t help but feel a little frightened.

But in the forest, black mist suddenly filled the air and wrapped itself around the snake spirit.

The snake spirit was immediately frightened and kept spinning in circles. No matter how hard it tried, it could not escape the black mist.

Seeing that the snake spirit had not appeared for a long time, Zhao Qi frowned and looked towards the forest.

The moment he saw the black mist, a cold light flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes.

The matter of conferring gods is against the law of cause and effect. Everything has its own cause and effect. This unresolved earthly fate has become the mist that prevents the snake spirit from walking to the stage of conferring gods.

Although the snake spirit does not intend to harm lives, some lives will eventually die as a result.

Suddenly he got the opportunity to become a god. Once the snake spirit became a god, there would be no chance of repaying the consequences of his karma.

Therefore, those resentful spirits wanted to seize this last opportunity to prevent the snake spirit from becoming a god.

But for this moment, the entire Wushan County has worked hard to prepare for so long, how can it be wasted?

He spread his palms, the list of gods appeared, and a golden figure standing tall on the sky suddenly appeared behind him!
