When the first ray of sunlight shone upon the top of the statue, the leading High Priest began to recite the words of prayer.
Initially, Shi Nian was worried that she did not know the prayer language and might accidentally give herself away.
Unexpectedly, the prayer language was very brief.
Moreover, the High Priest would pause after saying a sentence.
After the High Priest paused, several Priests would chant in unison.
Then the Spiritual Child and Spiritual Girl followed.
Finally, the densely packed crowd below also began to pray.
All the voices combined, reverberating throughout the entire city.
Then came the second and third sentences of the prayer.
It continued in this layered manner.
When all the prayers ended, the High Priest took out a bottle of water and slowly sprinkled it over the crowd.
Afterward, everyone rushed forward like mad, eager to be splashed by the water.
