Before the storm, the sea is mostly calm.
At night, the top of Shushan Mountain.
The edge of the observation deck where Qi Lin used to stay.
The high priest was dressed in a pure white robe, holding a scepter and standing there looking at the brightly lit night under Shushan Mountain.
Except for the lack of traffic, everything seems to be as prosperous as before the disaster.
Except for the two military safety zones, this is the only place that has the confidence to keep the lights on at night.
The magic pattern on the enchanted wand passed by accidentally, reflecting the high priest's frown and a few bubbles around his lips.
In the past month or so, the high priest has been very anxious.
Vaguely, he felt that this southern Zhili was about to undergo drastic changes.
But the high priest didn't know what the specific changes were.
He only knows one thing. The military is eager to see the skeleton man behind him!
very urgent!
As a result, all the excuses and bluffs made by the high priest in the past have become unusable recently.
The high priest had a hunch that maybe before long, the military's policy towards him would not be as tolerant as before.
They are likely to take some measures against him.
"What exactly happened?"
"Why are they in such a hurry?"
The palm of the high priest's hand holding the scepter turned white from the exertion.
From a tourist trapped on the mountain, it has grown to tens of thousands of believers today.
The development of the High Priest is full of twists and turns and mystery.
Before the disaster, he was just a stock market practitioner, and he never thought that he would get to where he is today by relying on deception.
But he did make it to where he is today.
To outsiders, the high priest was doing quite well.
One person is inferior to ten thousand people.
The master of the palace has never shown up, and the high priest in charge of each department is the absolute talker of the Palace of the Past.
But only the high priest himself knew this.
As long as the skeleton man refuses to acknowledge him, his beating heart will never be at peace.
For a simple confession, the high priest even gave up the imperial robe that made his heart beat, gave up his arrogance and indulgence, and gave up too many desires.
In front of outsiders, he will always be that enigmatic priest who devotes everything to the master of the palace and the Palace of the Past.
He continued to plan various development policies for the Palace of Purity, and also increased the supervision and review mechanism of internal management.
Just for the Palace of Purity to have a good reputation, have a good place in the hearts of the people, and have a place to show its own value.
All of this is for the skeleton man's admission.
The high priest once thought that if the skeleton was killed by a demon one day, wouldn't he be able to
But at that time, this idea was immediately shattered by him.
the reason is simple.
In the past two months, the number of Skeleton Soldiers has grown exponentially.
Those huge numbers of skeletons swarmed out toward the east of the city, blazing a bloody path.
Even two weeks ago, the second highest level person in the Palace of the Past: the fifteenth-level Demon Hunting Department Director went deep into the city and was ambushed by a demon species and was seriously injured. When he returned, he brought back a piece of news: He saw the palace master burst into flames. The bow-wielding skeletons actually formed a high-end formation of at least twenty people!
This means that the skeleton man's strength has increased again!
The flaming skeletons that were originally scattered in various teams can now be taken out individually and compiled individually!
The high priest didn't know the level of the flaming skeleton.
But the high priest, who has collected a lot of actual combat information on the flaming skeletons, knows very well.
If that formation of flaming skeletons was aiming at Shushan, then when their rocket salvos fell, Shushan, which had no defense capabilities, would probably disappear into thin air.
The absolute strength prevented the high priest from having any unreasonable thoughts.
Those who use the banner of the Skeleton Man to develop themselves, gain traction in front of forces such as the military, and then expand their hard power, thereby taking the opportunity to rise to power.
All the other strategies disappeared in the face of the skeleton's increasing strength.
Moreover, the high priest has been committed to shaping the faith of the grassroots people in the Purana Palace.
Every Saturday, all people will go to the skull statue of Shushan High School to pray together.
One is to strengthen his dominance through faith, and the other is to show that the high priest really has no second thoughts and is loyal to the skeleton people.
Even, apart from occasionally going to the Jade Girl Division to have a good time.
The high priest's diet has always been compressed biscuits, mineral water and the like.
Oh, it’s worth mentioning that the high priest never does prostitution for nothing, he always pays for it at his own expense.
Except for the high priest who strangely stored all the spiritual potions, no one was allowed to use them.
No one could find anything to criticize the high priest.
While other senior executives were eating hot pot, cooking mutton, and happily lying on the bed with their celebrity lovers in their arms.
The high priest was still standing on the edge of the observation deck where Qi Lin had been, thinking deeply.
The only person who knew the truth, Fan Zhong once asked him in private: Aren't you tired of pretending like this?
The high priest just rolled his eyes at him and did not answer him.
Because the answer is obvious, as long as a person stays in his position, he will be tired!
Each policy reform and each implementation of specific policies.
At the project site where ground was being broken everywhere, the top managers were worried.
Those who form cliques and complain about the unfair distribution of materials and props.
Under the high-pressure and clean policies, grassroots managers always have to give some sweeteners to avoid causing more trouble.
The military's overt and covert tests, how to use the skeleton's marching direction to formulate a plan that seemed to be helping the Palace of the Past.
How do managers who have crossed the line of "laissez-faire behavior where there are no fish if the water is clear" make the directors of each department feel at ease.
Etc., the hands-on high priest has never had a good night's sleep since the Palace of the Purana has exceeded his expectations and developed at a rapid pace.
But he didn't dare to say tired, because tired was not the right answer.
The high priest once told others that the correct answer is: I only exercise authority on behalf of the temple master. I will not have any interest in the secular world in this life. I will devote my life to the great temple master: under the Skeleton Temple!
As long as I can keep the cycle of the Palace of Purana going from generation to generation, I am not afraid of hardship!
Because it’s worth it!
Don't worry about whether this correct answer is fake or not, whether it's fake or not.
As long as the high priest says these words on any occasion, everyone who hears them will give a thumbs up in admiration and shout: Well done! A role model for my generation!
As for what a small number of people with clear hearts say in private?
The high priest doesn't care, as he said to Fan Zhong from the beginning: Pretend!
Be sure to pack it up!
After the high priest saw that the strength of those skeletons had been growing rapidly, he made up his mind:
As long as the skeleton doesn't show up for a day, he will keep pretending like this!
And if you keep pretending, it’s not true.
Perhaps in future historical records, his high priest is really
"Ah sneeze!"
The high priest leaned forward and sneezed.
Since a month ago, he has felt that the top of the mountain is a little too cold at high places.
Originally, the high priest thought it was a little strange.
Obviously the temperature has been rising, and people down the mountain are wearing short-sleeves.
Why is it so cold on the top of the mountain?
But later, when the high priest saw all kinds of colorful and colorful plants that he had never seen before, growing all over the mountains and plains on Shu Mountain.
The high priest put down this concern.
Extraordinary powers have appeared in this ghost world. Before, it was snowing and raining. It’s just a little colder. Just wear more clothes. What’s the big deal?
The high priest wiped his nose
At this time, an armed man ran to stand ten meters away from the high priest and shouted from a distance: "High priest, I have something important to report!"
The high priest quickly shrugged his shoulders upwards and then lowered his shoulders. When he turned around, he raised his chest and raised his head, and said majestically: "Speak."
"The swordsman who masters magic that the military has been looking for has been found!"
"The source of the intelligence is Li Guodong, a driver at the material distribution center. We verified some details and they are consistent."
The armed men quickly recounted the relevant information.
The high priest was overjoyed: "Go and notify Director Fan and ask him to bring those four people up. I have something to ask them!"
The armed men followed the order and left.
Fan Zhong, as a member of his own family who 'knows the root and cause', with the strong support of the high priest, has become the first level person in the Palace of the Past, up to level 16!
This level, coupled with Fan Zhong's taciturn, careless and unthinking personality, made him the most trustworthy person for the high priest.
According to the military's shared intelligence, Fan Zhong's rank can be ranked among the top ten in the entire southern Zhili.
The high priest slowly sat on the edge of the observation deck, waiting for the arrival of those people.
Although his face was as heavy as water, the clenched left hand in his sleeve still showed the excitement in his heart.
The military has been looking for four people: a skeleton man, a fire spellcaster, a swordsman who masters magic, and a white-haired chosen one with all qualities.
Among them, the direction of the skeleton man naturally fell on the Palace of Purity, which had been holding a tiger skin and erecting a big flag.
Due to some factors unknown to the high priest, the military's patience has become less and less recently.
The high priest didn't know why the military was so anxious to find the skeletons, and he also had trouble saying so.
If he couldn't find the Skeleton Man again, he might really be overturned.
After all, apart from Fan Zhong's personal combat power, his mid-level combat power seemed so vulnerable in front of the military with various human and animal special forces.
If once discovered, the forces that have received benefits for so long are just deceiving, then the high priest can guess with his toes that the outcome will not be good.
But now, the appearance of a swordsman who masters magic gives him hope.
If this awesome person could be dragged into the Palace of the Past, it would somewhat ease the military's ongoing questioning of the Skeleton Man.
"Everything that happens will be good for me."
The high priest murmured and repeated this sentence, his rapidly running brain trying to find a way to keep this swordsman.
As long as this swordsman can be kept, even if the skeleton man cannot be found in the short term.
He can also delay for a while in front of the increasingly urgent military, and he can still continue to pull off the tiger's skin and make other plans.
While the high priest was thinking, Fan Zhong led the man named Zhang to the top of the mountain quickly.
When he saw the high priest sitting on the edge of the observation deck in the distance, Fan Zhong walked aside alone and remained silent.
The four of them came to a yellow line about fifteen meters away from the high priest and knelt down with a plop.
In the past, this kind of behavior would naturally be opposed by others.
But since the high priest slowly transformed the beliefs of the grassroots people, people no longer resist this kind of kneeling with religious, divine, and other connotations.
The high priest sat there, taking it all in stride.
"Tell me carefully about your encounter with that person and the place where he appeared."
While the high priest was speaking, an armed man quickly laid a city map in front of Li Guodong and gave him a pen to indicate the location.
"High Priest, that man is more than two meters tall and wears a face scarf embroidered with golden patterns. I first met him at"
Li Guodong lowered his head and drew various places where he met Heifeng on the map, shouting out all the encounter information.
The high priest said nothing and listened carefully, for fear of missing some details.
After a long time, Li Guodong finished speaking.
The high priest asked some more detailed questions, repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed Heifeng, and after understanding some of the other party's behavior style, he said: "Well done, the Temple of the Past will definitely reward the meritorious believers!"
"Li Guodong, you want your little daughter to enter the elite class taught by the directors of various departments, right?"
The high priest said with a kind smile: "It's settled. I'll have someone pick up your daughter later. All students in the elite class will study and stay in the mountains. If you miss your daughter in the future, you can."
"Your son." The high priest glanced at the excited young man next to Li Guodong: "The Logistics Department is short of a clerk. Let's go for an interview tomorrow."
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Li Guodong grabbed his son's arm, knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Thank you, high priest!"
If her daughter enters the elite class, it means that she will become a senior member of the Palace of Purity in the future.
And when my son entered the Logistics Department, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
All Li Guodong's previous adventures have paid off at this moment.
"Don't thank me. It is the rule set by the Palace Master that meritorious service must be rewarded. We should be grateful to the Palace Master." The high priest did not forget to deepen his spiritual belief at this moment: "Praise the Palace Master!"
"Praise the Lord!"
"Praise the Lord!"
After Li Guodong and his son retired with satisfaction.
The high priest promoted the man named Zhang to another level, and the follower also received a considerable amount of contribution points.
All this is just because Qi Lin feels that Xiao Di is a child, and children should pay attention to their physical development and not be malnourished when they are young, causing them to not grow taller in the future.
So Heifeng was asked to exchange some vegetables with Li Guodong and his son for Xiaodi to eat.
A very simple little thing, but it created a beautiful and happy life for Li Guodong's family in the future.
Wait until the four people leave.
The high priest couldn't wait to let Fan Zhong take the map, spread it on the edge of the observation deck, and began to study it.
"According to what Li Guodong said, his next transaction with the Magic Swordsman will be in Lanxi Town in four days. You can follow Li Guodong there to make contact."
"Fan Zhong, how can we ensure that we bring this person in?"
"He seems to be in need of vegetables."
On the city map, there are some circles drawn, which are the locations where Li Guodong and Hei Feng exchanged vegetables.
The high priest, who was pondering carefully, couldn't help but think.
"This action trajectory."
"hiss"
"Fan Zhong, look at it!"
The high priest pulled Fan Zhong, who was absently looking at the night at the foot of the mountain, closer.
"Look at where and when this swordsman appeared!" The high priest pointed at the circles and said excitedly: "Look at the time and direction, he came from the east all the way to Shushan!"
"Could it be that the publicity plan for the Palace of Purity that I have been working hard to build is finally going to bear fruit?"
The high priest was very excited. He had been paying attention to the reputation of the Palace of Purity for a long time, not only because a good reputation could attract more people.
Also for the sake of good reputation, to prevent being liquidated when I see the Skeleton Man one day.
Fan Zhong still didn't speak. He always felt that he was not the type to use his brains, and he could just leave professional matters to professionals.
The high priest also understood this very well. His words were not so much for Fan Zhong as they were for himself.
Emperors of all dynasties were lonely and widowed.
As a modern person, the high priest does not want to have anyone around him who can talk.
He was also tired from pretending all the time.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. If there's nothing to do, I'll go to the airport." Fan Zhong glanced at the high priest and said directly: "The people from the Demon Hunting Department said that they found one over there and I didn't kill it. Demon species of the same type can provide too little experience, so I have to work harder to prevent others from exceeding their level."
After hearing this, the high priest looked up at Fan Zhong, who was about to leave. The other party really did not regard him as a superior high priest.
However, this kind of character also reassured the high priest. During this period of time, Fan Zhong's behavior showed that he would not compete with him for power.
"No, no, no!" The high priest hurriedly called Fan Zhong and said seriously: "There are more important things that you need to do, which are related to the future of the Palace of the Past!"
Fan Zhong stopped and turned to look at the high priest. Knowing that he was not using his brain, he remained silent and listened quietly.
"You will notify the directors of each department later and ask them to explain it layer by layer. Pay close attention to a tall person, especially a person holding a silver sword!"
The high priest looked excited and spoke very quickly: "Let everyone clean the road for me and make the surrounding environment more beautiful!"
"Also, you personally visit each community residence one by one. If you have any grievances recently, find a way to get them settled!"
"If there are believers who have been wronged, they must be comforted! Don't be afraid of wasting materials, comfort them first!"
The high priest knew very well that even though he promulgated many high-pressure and clean policies, even though he improved the material benefits of managers.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and there will always be trouble.
Through the movement track and time on the map, the high priest saw that Black Wind was coming towards Shu Mountain, and it was very close. He might be under the mountain at this moment!
In order to allow the Palace of Purity to continue to develop at a rapid pace, the high priest was also worried.
"I would like to inform everyone that they must pay attention to their behavior in the near future, especially those managers who are responsible for household registration statistics and job allocation. Tell them that no matter who comes in the near future, they will be treated politely by me!"
The high priest stood up and paused his scepter, making a dull sound.
"Tell them, whoever dares to cause trouble for me at this juncture"
The high priest sneered: "Huh! That's my fault!"
"If he dares to smash my pot, I will make him have no food to eat!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Fan Zhong would not understand, the high priest added to Fan Zhong: "On weekdays, the people below are used to being lazy and being fawned over by others. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if it is a military safe zone, there will be no fish." There will inevitably be some nastiness, and if the magic swordsman has a character that hates evil, and there is a drama of private visits incognito, then we will really be in trouble!"
"Fan Zhong!" The high priest came to Fan Zhong, who was silent, patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Be careful with your ship, we must not stumble at this juncture!"
"Don't run around these days. Anyway, with your level, those same demon species don't give you much experience anymore. You can patrol down the mountain more these days, let the people below have some eyes, and tell This time they are not just fooling around, let them take it seriously."
"It's not easy for me to pull up this family business. This is just the beginning. As the expansion continues, there will always be rivers and lakes where there are people." The high priest poured out his bitter words to the frowning Fan Zhong, showing his Bu Yi: "There will always be unpleasant things happening, and I can't trust others. You are the only one who can be trusted along the way! So I can only work hard on you these days."
Fan Zhong pursed his lips and said nothing, but said in a low voice: "It's okay, you use your brain and I will do the work. This is what we agreed before."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go take care of it right away."
After receiving the high priest's instruction, Fan Zhong turned around and left.
The high priest looked at Fan Zhong's back and nodded with satisfaction.
There is nothing to say about the efficiency of this bearded man. As long as it is something promised, even if he is injured and stays up all night, he will get it done as soon as possible.
The high priest liked this style of doing things very much.
No leader would dislike such a person.
Suddenly, the high priest seemed to have thought of something. He quickly shouted to Fan Zhong's back: "Go to the Agricultural Science Department and tell them to work overtime to promote growth and produce some vegetables! Be ready to entertain distinguished guests then!"
Fan Zhong waved his hands silently and walked down the mountain.
The high priest became increasingly satisfied.
He looked down at the map and tightened his robe.
"It's getting late at night and it's getting colder."
"Can't sleep yet, I have to think about how to win over the magic swordsman."
On the Shu Mountain, the lights are brightly lit and there are many things on my mind.
Under the Shu Mountain, people were shouting and praising the palace master.
Qi Lin, on the other hand, has arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Thanks to: Shiwen Meng’s reward of 234 starting coins.
Thank you for your support so far.
