These truly thousand-year-old food really made him vomit.
There is basically no salt in the cabbage, which is bland and tasteless. The pig's trotters are too hard to bite. Cassava, it tastes like raw food.
"Can I have some meat?"
After being fed several mouthfuls of cabbage, Meng Fei couldn't stand it anymore.
The strong man feeding the meal cut a piece of pig's trotters with a knife, put it into his mouth with the tip of the knife, and wiped the sharp blade on his mouth.
"I'd better eat cabbage."
Sure enough, safety comes first. At least the cabbage is eaten with chopsticks.
"Don't be picky!"
Priest Sun, who was sweating profusely on the side and continued to study the process of the god sacrificial ceremony, said angrily.
Because these two days were too boring, Meng Fei decided to tease the man named Sun.
"Why don't you escort me to Songdu immediately instead of doing this here?"
"You care about me?" Sun Nuo replied disdainfully.
"Because if you give me to the Holy See, and the Holy See sacrifices me to the goddess, at most the Holy See will give you a commendation and raise you by one or two levels.
"But if you personally hold a ceremony to enshrine me to the goddess, then the goddess will grant you any wish according to her promise."
When Meng Fei said these words, all the Qingmang soldiers present looked at Sun Nuo.
God grants an "arbitrary wish"? Who can not be tempted by this? If you want money, you can get as much as you want!
It is a pity that these soldiers do not understand the rituals of worshiping gods. Without the help of the priests, they would get nothing.
"Stop his mouth!"
Sun Nuo felt really angry when someone said what he was thinking.
"You won't seal it."
Meng Fei smiled lightly.
“You don’t even know that mercury is used in rituals to worship gods?
“You failed to get a response from the goddess after several attempts, because you made several mistakes.
"In the third step, you have to pour mercury into the notches on the altar to guide the aura."
"Of course I know!"
Sun Nuo raised his fist frantically. He knew he needed mercury, but everything in Rong County was destroyed and he didn't find mercury anywhere.
So he has been trying to replace it with various liquids on a fluke basis. But it was never successful, and I was going crazy.
“But do you know what mercury can be replaced with?”
Meng Fei asked with a seductive smile.
No one is more proficient in these things than the great theologian Hema of the time.
"What can I use? Tell me quickly!"
Sun Nuo rushed over and grabbed his collar.
He could actually change a city to purchase mercury, or order someone to go to another city to purchase it for him.
But the distance is hundreds of miles, and the round trip takes at least a day or two. Whether he takes He Ma there or sits here and waits, the nights are long and the dreams are endless.
Now there may be a war between the Qingmang Kingdom and the Mantis Kingdom at any time, and this place may become a battlefield at any time.
Any wish is right in front of him, but there is always a bottle of mercury or hundreds of miles away from him, which makes him crazy.
"Although mercury can't be found in the city, mercury is not the only metal."
Meng Fei smiled.
“Actually, mercury is mentioned in the Ritual of Ceremonies just because mercury has a low melting point and is easy to use.
"But in essence, any metal can play a role in changing the aura as long as it is in a liquid state and filled in the altar pattern."
"You mean, even if I find a pile of iron, as long as it melts, I can still start the festival?"
Sun Nuo lifted up Meng Fei's collar again.
Meng Fei didn't comment on this, and just said like a rogue: "I want to eat roast chicken, preferably with wine."
Not long after, roast chicken and wine were placed in front of him. Meng Fei said slowly and calmly while enjoying the feeding:
"The melting point of iron is too high. You might as well go to Rong County to find a tin foil workshop. Get some tin foil instead."
Of course, Meng Fei didn't tell everything at once. When this guy goes to prepare the tin foil, he will encounter the next bug.
In fact, as Meng Fei, he really wanted to see what the legendary Qingmang Goddess looked like.
But he is He Ma now, and he must follow He Ma's ideas to advance the plot.
He Ma didn't really want to sacrifice himself to the goddess. After all, no one can tell what the goddess will do to him.
The "consecration theory" is nothing more than his beautiful ideal. What should I do if people don’t make offerings or dispose of them after making offerings?
If you have to put yourself in the hands of someone who can't control you but can control you, isn't that looking for death? Can't you live a good life?
Not only did he want to avoid the goddess and live well, he also wanted to find Xiaoluo. Xiaoluo will definitely come to Rong County to wait for him.
The problem now is that not only does this damn priest exist, but there is also the legendary powerful hyena cavalry captain Anshan, who is guarding the place with at least fifty hyena cavalry.
The disparity between the enemy and ourselves was too great, and it was completely impossible for him to break through violently. So he's buying time.
As long as a war breaks out and chaos breaks out here at any time, he won't have to worry about not having a chance to escape.
If you think of an opportunity, the opportunity will come.
Sun Nuo was about to ask Anshan's people to dig through the ruins in the city to find a tinfoil workshop, when suddenly a series of rapid horse hoofbeats came. A group of hussars has arrived outside the door.
They did not enter the house, but shouted at the top of their lungs outside:
"Hyena Cavalry Captain An Shan listens to the order!"
Good guy, Emperor Qingmang's imperial edict has arrived.
The imperial edict did not care about the indisputable facts. The whole article angrily criticized An Shan for leaving the post without authorization and taking the hyena cavalry without permission. It also intentionally did not mention a word about the oracle in the hands of the priest.
After being reprimanded, Sun Nuo led many people away in a hurry, leaving less than ten people to continue to serve Priest Sun.
Meng Fei wanted to laugh secretly, it seemed like tonight was the time to escape.
Compared with Meng Fei's caution, Li Shibai acted vigorously and resolutely. After recalling Anshan, he immediately appointed him as the vanguard officer and set off with five hundred hyena cavalry.
An hour later, the army he personally supervised had begun to move out from around Rong County.
All soldiers were strictly prohibited from making any sound and walked closely behind the vanguard in the queue. Under the cover of the dense night, it looked like a giant centipede moving silently.
The border between the Qingmang Kingdom and the Mantis Kingdom is not so clear, but most places are blocked by mountains that are difficult to climb.
There is a usually deserted canyon in the middle, suitable for pedestrians, more than ten miles away from Rong County. This end is the Qingmang people's checkpoint, and the other end, more than ten miles away, is the Mantis people's checkpoint called "Tiger's Mouth Pass".
Their five hundred hyena cavalry will climb over the mountains and ridges and go around the enemy's back. The main vanguard force supervised by Li Shibai will take advantage of the darkness to attack the front of Hukou Pass.
After capturing Hukou Pass under a double attack, the army can march straight into the hinterland of the Mantis Kingdom.
"What is that place?"
Li Shibai, who was following the front half of the team and riding a horse, was always watching the situation vigilantly.
But at a rather fatal vantage point ahead, he saw a bright light and a faint building.
"Where is that place? Why didn't you take it first!"
He was a little angry, but he didn't want to take the lead in breaking military regulations and shouting loudly, so he could only lower his voice and ask the general next to him.
"Your Majesty, that is occupied by our people."
"Our people? Why are there lights!"
"Your Majesty, that's where Sun Nuo, the priest sent by Songdu, led his people to worship the gods."
