In the early morning, the sun rises from the horizon.
Not far away, a huge crowd appeared on the official road at the gate of the capital, approaching little by little.
The people in the capital were all excited.
"It's King Cheng who has come to the capital with the Goddess of Heaven to give him nectar!"
"God, we can finally receive the nectar water. My father is saved."
"Can everyone get it?"
"Of course, the Heavenly Lady will distribute nectar to the people every day, and you can get a bowl as long as you line up."
"Then can we go queue up...!"
“……”
The more than 200,000 people approaching the capital stopped and set up tents and a high platform in the distance.
A woman stood on the stage. She covered her face with gauze and wore a white dress. The dress shone with silver and golden light. Under the rays of the morning sun, the woman's golden light shone westward, making her as holy as a fairy from heaven. .
She was holding a green branch in her hand, and the branches were dipped in several large water tanks below, and the water tanks seemed to start to glow.
"That's the Goddess! What's in the water tank is nectar!"
"Let's go and get the nectar quickly, quickly, quickly!"
"Wait for me, I want to go too!"
“……”
Everyone in the capital rushed out of the city with their families.
At this moment, the city gate slammed shut.
After the curfew every night in the capital, the city gates are locked. Before dawn, the city gates will be opened to facilitate the people's entry and exit. Now it is the time to open the door, but the gate is closed. Those outside can't get in, and those inside can't get out.
"What's going on? Why aren't we allowed to go out?"
"I'm going to get the nectar. Let me out quickly. My father will die if he doesn't drink the nectar!"
"My child is also waiting for the nectar of the Goddess to save his life. Hurry, open the city gate and let us out!"
"Masters, please..."
"Go, go, go away!" The guard guarding the gate raised his spear and spoke sternly, "The court has an order. During this period, no one is allowed to leave the city gate. Please go back!"
How could the people surrounding the city gate accept this fact?
Loud shouting and commotion broke out.
The commander guarding the gate drew his sword and put it on the neck of one of them, and the noisy people calmed down a little.
Outside the city, the sky was covered with people.
More than 200,000 people began to line up in an orderly manner.
On the high platform in the front stood the Goddess of Heaven, waving the green branches in her hands, looking very holy and compassionate.
Under the stage, there were at least a hundred large water tanks, and several guards stood beside each water tank, distributing nectar to the people waiting in line. Each person had a bowl and drank it on the spot. Even so, there was no end in sight for the queue in front of him. .
The people in the capital could not get out.
But people from the small towns on the outskirts of the capital and countless nearby villages flocked to the place after hearing the news.
There were more and more people queuing up, and those who had not drank the nectar gradually became irritated.
At this time, King Cheng was surrounded by people and walked to the back of the team. He said loudly to the people who had not had time to drink the nectar: "Don't be impatient. The nectar water is given by God. As long as the people need it, the nectar water will continue to be provided." , even when the sun goes down, the Goddess of Heaven will not leave. As soon as each of you drinks the nectar and gets rid of your illness, my mission will be accomplished!"
"Oh my god, it's His Highness King Cheng!"
"His Royal Highness King Cheng condescended to speak to us in person!"
"Kowtow to His Highness King Cheng!"
A group of common people quickly knelt down to pay their respects.
I don't know who said loudly: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang cares about the people. He is destined to be king. This country should be inherited by His Highness King Cheng. Only then can we, the common people, live and work in peace and contentment!"
"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is destined to return!"
"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is destined to return!"
The crowd's voices grew louder and louder.
King Cheng was extremely proud of himself, but he had a calm look on his face: "It's better for you to stop saying such treacherous words. Get up and line up, and you will receive the nectar water soon."
Among the people in line, there was Aunt Jiang and her two children, Xie Xian and Xu Ti.
Next to her stood her next door neighbor, who suppressed her joy and said: "Ms. Jiang, we will get the nectar water soon. If His Highness King Cheng hadn't come all the way with the Heavenly Lady, how would we have had such a chance? .”
Aunt Jiang nodded: "Who says it's not the case? I didn't expect His Highness King Cheng to be so kind."
The last time Sister Xian came back after being kidnapped by gangsters, although the imperial doctor took out the needle from Sister Xian's head, Sister Xian still had nightmares every day. She was really worried about her child's health, so she put down everything and took care of her child. I brought my two children to ask for the nectar water. As long as I drink it, Sister Xian's health will definitely get better.
"Mother, is this nectar water really so effective?" Xu Ti frowned and asked, "If the nectar water is real, how could it be distributed to us, the lowest level people, for free?"
In this world, precious things are very rare, and there may be only one of them in the world.
The nectar water that can cure all kinds of diseases is put in a large water vat and given out a bowl to everyone. It always feels weird everywhere.
Aunt Jiang nodded: "Of course it's true, otherwise why are so many people queuing up here? Everyone is drinking, it must be very effective. Ti'er, are you tired from standing? Sit down on the ground and take a rest."
Xu Ti shook his head: "Is what everyone is drinking good?"
Aunt Jiang was extremely convinced: "His Royal Highness King Cheng personally said that it must be a good thing, and so many people who have tasted it say it is a good thing, I can't be wrong."
"Mother..." Xie Xian paused and said, "If this nectar can really drive away illness, then why did the imperial court close the gates of the capital and not allow the people in the city to come out?"
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment.
"Now the Queen Mother is listening behind the curtain, and the decree to close the city gates must have been issued by the Queen Mother." Xu Ti said slowly, "My mother has been with the Queen Mother before, and she should know that the Queen Mother is a smart person and will never stop people from entering the capital without any reason. The common people come to receive the manna.”
When she thought of Yunchu, Aunt Jiang suddenly woke up. She made a decisive decision: "We don't want the nectar anymore. Let's go home!"
Xu Ti held Aunt Jiang's hand and said, "You're here, just in time to see what happened to the empress that day. I also want to see what the nectar is."
The mother and son lined up in the queue, moving closer to the front.
After about two hours, I finally walked slowly to the front and saw the legendary goddess.
"What a beautiful goddess, is she really a fairy who descended to earth?" Xie Xian opened her eyes and said blankly, "Does the green branch in her hand have magic?"
Aunt Jiang was also stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses: "I don't know why, but this Heavenly Lady gives me a very familiar feeling, as if I have seen it before somewhere..."
