"Wait a minute, aren't you from the Temple of the God King?"
Monk Lingyao Erzhang was confused. Isn't the most sacred thing in their rivers the snake? Aren’t the gods enshrined in their God King Temple snakes? What's the cool thing about being afraid of snakes?
"Hiss?"
A certain foreign snake that came specifically to the Rukawa Holy Land also expressed shock. It was clear that Nan Rong and Qiu felt the pure breath from the priests of the God King Temple. But this child's fear of himself is also real.
Have times changed? Has the Temple of the God King changed from admiration to fear of snakes?
"you you!"
Nan Rong and Qiu turned pale with fright, trembling and pointing at a small blue strip on Ling Yao's head.
At this time, Ling Linhan, who was standing aside, didn't hear the two people talking for a long time, and slowly walked over.
Little Lan Tiao shook his head and barked twice more, wrapped his tail around Ling Yao's arm, stretched out the upper half of his body, hung in the air, and then put it on the child's finger.
"Ah!!!! You keep it away from me!!!!"
A certain child screamed like a slaughtering pig and retreated several meters away.
Ling Linhan, who had just stepped forward, only heard this sentence and immediately cast a condemning look at Ling Yao, "Why are you bullying a child?"
Ling Yao looked innocent:
"Huh?! I also want to know what's going on! A dignified Rukawa man, and a man from the God King Temple, is actually afraid of snakes? What's going on?"
"Those cool things are so scary! What does this have to do with whether I am a member of the Temple of the God King or not?"
Nanrong and Qiu complained with tears in their voices.
Xiao Lan Tiao was disgusted and shrank back with an aggrieved look on his face, huddled on top of Ling Yao's head and didn't want to speak.
Although he was quite speechless at Nan Rong and Qiu's performance, Ling Yao obviously did not forget his original purpose.
I originally thought that the other party was just afraid of snakes, but I didn't expect that he would be so afraid. Ling Yao naturally had to take good care of it.
"In that case..."
I saw someone pinching the ice python's neck, pushing the ice python's head into Nan Rong and Qiu's faces, smiling "amiably".
"Tell me, why did you come to find the 'murderer' alone, little friend?"
Nan Rong and Qiu: QAQ? !
Nan Rong and Qiu originally thought that even if their skills were inferior to others and they fell into the hands of the so-called 'murderer', as long as he revealed his identity and gave his name as a teacher, the other party would never dare to do anything to him and could only swallow their anger. Send him back to the Temple of the God King.
Although he didn't understand why the Divine King Temple had such a high status in Rukawa, it did not prevent him from taking advantage of this.
However……
"Who is Da Xikang?"
"Huh? That old man named Lang Yue in Milong has fallen?"
"Who is Lang Yue?"
"The last high priest."
"Da Xikang is the current high priest? How come you know more about it than me?"
"Who do you think other than the high priest can be used to scare people by this brat's name? I remember there were rumors that the Temple of the God King accepted a youngest priest a few years ago. I guess this is it?"
"Oh... no wonder. The other priests are all on the same level, and there is indeed no point in speaking out to intimidate others... But if he is a priest, killing and silencing him may not work."
"Yes, the Temple of the God King must be very precious to him... But for such a big kid, it won't be troublesome to imprison him..."
"Isn't it troublesome? We can't hide anyone in our team."
"Why don't you put it in that tower of yours? Isn't it very convenient?"
"How do you know that one can pretend to be someone else?"
"...I, I don't know, I'm just guessing! Anyway, if you can't lock me in, I'll pack up my stuff and run away, and you Anqi people will also be in trouble!"
Listening to Ling Yao and Ling Linhan chatting with each other without paying attention to him at all, Nan Rong and Qiu were crazy and confused in their hearts:
What about the respect you promised? What about the fear you mentioned? !
This is still the boundary of Rukawa, right? Why can you two discuss in front of me without changing your expression whether to kill me or shut me up in a dark room?
However, during this conversation, Nan Rong and Qiu Ye finally realized one thing - his invincible status was not worth mentioning in the eyes of these two lunatics.
Unless he can convince these two guys with other things, show enough sincerity, and offer enough benefits to let them send him back...
Otherwise, he will have to confess here. Oh wow, that snake is really scary!
Nanrong and Qiu, who had received psychological hints, quickly revealed their identities and purposes.
To sum up, to put it simply, this little kid happened to be responsible for the progress of the matter with Gu Mingtai, but due to some complicated personal reasons, he became curious about the identity and purpose of this "murderer", and relied on his own He was the only disciple of the high priest...well, he came here to deliver food.
Such a fact undoubtedly created a huge psychological gap for Ling Yao, who had previously held a conspiracy theory mentality and suspected that the Temple of the God King sent a chess piece to lead the test, or used a child to lower his vigilance and secretly ambush him... feel.
Reality is always so absurd and boring.
However, being able to easily control an important priest of the God King Temple is not a bad thing at all.
In particular, this child understands his own situation very well and has a mind for negotiation and communication:
"Lock me up, but you can only hide it from the Temple of the God King for a while. They also know that I have been paying attention to this matter recently, and they will find you sooner or later. Moreover, I don't like Gu Mingtai at first, and I don't have much respect for you. Great malice, just curiosity.
"So, as long as you can send me back to the Temple of the God King, I can speak for you in front of the teacher..."
"That being said, who knows if you will burn bridges and talk bad about us after you go back?"
If it were just words at this level, even Ling Linhan couldn't be deceived. But Nanrong and Qiu obviously have another plan:
"The 'real culprit' who killed Gu Mingtai was this snake... Okay, stay away from me! Even people with eyesight know that it is with you, but in Liuchuan, no one will treat snake monsters Disrespectful.
"Even if it obeys your orders, as long as you have no malicious intention to control its mind, no one will dare to question its choice. Therefore, although the matter of Gu Mingtai is troublesome, it is limited to this. On the surface, it will never Someone is holding you accountable for this. As for what is going on behind the scenes, no matter what the decision of the Shenwang Temple is, the Naxi tribe will not let you go, so that is out of my scope.
"In addition, one of you is a 'priest candidate', and the other can make snake-like monsters obey orders. The teacher and other people in the Temple of the God King will not turn you away because of my one-sided words, but they will trust you more because of my words. .
"As for me to gain a foothold in the Temple of the God King, I also need to accumulate my own connections. This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, and I hope you will consider it."
Compared with Nan Rong and Qiu's appearance and age, his remarks seemed so mature and thoughtful that it was unreasonable.
Ling Yao glanced at Ling Linhan subconsciously... Why are the gaps between people so big?
Of course, Ling Linhan thought Ling Yao was asking for his opinion and replied:
"According to my understanding of the Temple of the God King, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Moreover, if you just hold him in your hands, it will indeed do no good. It will be a matter of time before you cause trouble. But...do I need to tell Lou Chuanyang and the others about this matter? ?Maybe they will have other ideas.”
Of course, Ling Yao would not tell Ling Linhan the messy things he was thinking, so he followed the words and responded:
"Lou Chuanyang still needs to think about it? He will definitely send this big shot back to the Temple of the God King respectfully. How can he dare to talk about cooperation.
"It's just that if you send it off so openly, it will be difficult for the kid to sneak out again after returning..."
"Don't tell him!!! I don't want the teacher to know!!"
Ling Yao raised his chin and looked at Ling Linhan sideways: "Oh. Just take a look."
The naughty kids are all the same! Get it right!
Ling Linhan: ...Don’t look at me, I refuse to admit that I was once a naughty kid.
So when the Anqi tribe woke up the next day, they suddenly discovered that there was a little boy wearing simple clothes in the team.
When everyone cast doubtful glances, Nan Rong and Qiu fiddled with the loose clothes Ling Linhan lent him, thumped a few times and ran behind Ling Yao, pulling on the corners of his clothes, looking pitiful. Xixi appearance.
Ling Yao: Act. You just act. This is a natural actor.
He cleared his throat:
"This is the brother I... recognized before, He Qiu. He got separated from his tribe and met me last night. I plan to take him near the Temple of the God King, maybe he can meet the tribesmen who came to participate in the event. . It shouldn’t matter, right?”
Although Lou Chuanyang was puzzled as to why there were so many more children suddenly. But after all, they were the people Yao Lin took with him, and he didn't have much trouble with them. The others had no idea and just let the child follow.
So the team continued to move forward. During this short period of time, Nan Rong and Qiu pestered Ling Yao and Ling Linhan to find out the whole story about Gu Mingtai.
Nan Rong and Qiu seemed very concerned about Ling Linhan, who they wanted to kill after just one glance at Gu Mingtai, and frantically tried to get close to him:
"It seems that you are likely to become this year's new priest, so we will be colleagues! Great, I can't find anyone of the same age in the Temple of the God King. I can chat with you in the future. We should have a lot of topics to talk about. ?”
"Your adults have never told you that although the words you use are very suitable for getting closer to each other, the prerequisite is that you are over fourteen years old! Otherwise, you will sound like a scheming boy who has been taught a bad way and acts maliciously. ?
"Hey, Han Hanlin, are you a fool! You actually show an expression of emotion and recognition!"
...It's a pity that the person named Yaolin is too high-level, so he has never succeeded.
cut. Adults are so annoying!
Along the way, Ling Yao continued to observe this kid.
There is a strong sense of disobedience in this child - he looks innocent, but his mind is extremely mature, and he knows all kinds of methods... but when it comes to using it, he is a novice. In front of Yao, there is quite a sense of playing tricks on others.
Nan Rong and Qiu's qualifications are not considered geniuses, but they were valued by the God King Temple at a young age, and were even accepted as disciples by the high priest... Maybe he has some innate skills that Ling Yao doesn't know about, which makes him so successful of him now.
Thinking of Dao Jinwen's special physique...perhaps the Temple of the God King selects priests just to recruit all kinds of talented people for its own use? Is the Snake King Statue just a sensor?
He was sorting through the clues he had obtained these days. This information is very valuable first-hand information for the entire Jianmen, and he must record it in detail.
Just like that, the Temple of the God King finally arrived.
Nan Rong and Qiu hid themselves among the crowd, and under the cover of Ling Yao, they escaped the eyes of the priests who received the Anqi tribe.
The people of the Anqi tribe were quickly assigned to temporary residences.
The conditions here are not very good, even worse than in previous years. Apparently someone in the Temple of the God King is planning to take this opportunity to give the Anqi tribe a show of strength.
But compared to those shabby places where small tribes live, at least it can be seen. Therefore, no one in the group dared to complain, except for Dao Jinwen who complained.
"I'm leaving! I have to go back and show my face! I haven't reported to the teacher for a long time, they will doubt me!"
Before the people of the Anqi tribe could settle down, Nan Rong and Qiu said goodbye to Ling Yao and Ling Linhan.
"I will say good things about you! Don't worry! Trust me!"
"I feel even more worried after you say this..."
Ling Yao looked at him sideways,
"Forget it, I didn't count on you in the first place. Just treat it as a good person and a good deed."
On the contrary, Ling Linhan still felt a trace of farewell:
"Then will you come back to us in the future?"
"Brother Hanlin is a very interesting person. If I have the chance, I will come back to see you. Please do your best for the priest selection!"
"What he means is that it's really fun to lie to you. I fully agree with this..."
"Hello!"
Ling Yao: :p slightly slightly. Can't hit either.
tomorrow. Priest selection. About to start.
