"It seems that being elected as the new priest doesn't make you very excited. Your companions obviously seem quite excited."
Ling Linhan opened the door and found that someone was already sitting in front of the case.
"Senior...senior, aren't you...?"
Qu Qianling put one elbow on the table, raised her face and looked at Ling Linhan coldly:
"Just a few idiots want to find me. Do I still need to hide? But it's been a long time since you left the selection site with a bad face."
Ling Linhan scratched his head:
"Ah...did I show it so obviously?"
"It's more than that. You are the only one chosen by the Snake King Statue this year, but you still look reluctant. Don't you look at the expressions of the people below you and don't care what they think of you?"
"If it were the past, I would probably be very happy. After all, I came here to become the priest of the God King Temple and to help Anqi gain a foothold in Rukawa."
Probably because Qu Qianling's attitude towards people and things other than Ling Yao was quite approachable. When Ling Linhan faced this powerful person, her mentality was unexpectedly calm, and she even felt a bit like a normal person.
"But since I saw the dungeon... But on the other hand, they don't care about what I have experienced or what I think in my heart."
"That's true. But after meeting your little girlfriend, your mood recovered very quickly."
"Uh...uh??? Ah, that...she...also...I...isn't...but actually..."
Ling Linhan, who had just greeted the new group of people from Anqizhai who came to attend the sacrificial ceremony and chatted with Lou Yueniang for a while, suddenly felt guilty and felt that the originally ordinary atmosphere in the room suddenly became on pins and needles.
Qu Qianling didn't bother to care about a certain kid's complicated youth love journey. Maybe she didn't take what she just said seriously, and just continued to flip through the books on the case.
This is the information Ling Yao burned from the library of the God King Temple. Although there are not many records about those events thirty years ago, they are not without traces.
And once there is doubt in the mind, certain clues gradually begin to emerge.
The gap between reality and rumors made her have to wonder who was the "truth" she got from the people around her, or was it the result of someone's malicious distortion?
And if there are fallacies at the root, then in the past few years, what has she...
"Sister! I'm here. It's easy to find me... Oops?"
Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from outside the door,
"Isn't this the kid from Shenlong Academy? Senior sister, when did you get into the habit of taking hostages?"
Ling Linhan and Qu Qianling raised their eyes at the same time to see the person who stuck his head out of the door.
"The sword... from Jianmen Xingyao Peak..."
Seeing Ling Linhan's shocked look, Liang Yile stared at him for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Qu Qianling seriously:
"Ah! He recognized me. Do you need to kill someone to silence me, Senior Sister?"
Although there was no murderous intention in the other party's words, Ling Linhan still broke into a cold sweat.
"Don't do unnecessary things. I didn't come to you for a joke."
"I know. But Senior Sister, you suddenly sent me a letter, and the content is so... I really thought it was a joke."
Liang Yile waved his hand,
"But if there is really a chance to get it, I am also very interested in the Holy Spring. After all, am I not traveling around just to find these weird and unique treasures of heaven and earth? As long as you don't dislike my fighting ability, senior sister. good."
"Why don't you dislike it? But I don't intend to let you fight. Just find a way to destroy the formation of the sacrificial ceremony. This should be what you are good at, right?"
Qu Qianling glanced at him sideways,
"Although the intelligence just came in said that there is something wrong with the Sky Snake Spirit, I still feel that the ideas and plans of these brats are too bold and naive. But as long as there are no losses and there are benefits, I don't mind either. Add in more."
"Yes, if it can succeed so easily, the Temple of the God King will not survive for a thousand years, and the sect owner will also be interested in taking over this matter."
Liang Yile, like Qu Qianling, didn't pay attention to Ling Linhan who was stunned. They touched their chin and said,
"However, we still don't know what the final result will be? If this thing comes to pass, it will be said to be an unprecedented event that will shock the world and make ghosts and gods weep. It will be recorded in the annals of history in the future. It will last for days and nights..."
"If you dare to talk about storytelling in front of me again, don't even think about opening your mouth again."
"Oh...TUT"
…
After the results of the new priest election were announced and the "Snake Spirit Messenger" was made public, the ten-year sacrificial ceremony was finally held as scheduled in the Temple of the God King.
Except for several new priests who have been added in the past ten years and the new face "Yao Lin" who appeared in the ceremony, all the procedures of the ceremony were carried out as they were ten years ago - burning incense and kneeling to pray, reciting scriptures, and offering tributes. Taste and arrange the spiritual array.
Oh, except for the extra project that someone jokingly called "Salted Fish Snake Dance" - although the appearance of "Snake Spirit Messenger" and "Ice Blue Lord" did achieve the goal of the Temple of the God King, This once again consolidated the unshakable position of the Shenwang Temple in the hearts of Ruchuan people.
During the past few days while the sacrificial ceremony was proceeding step by step, the two great masters of Jianmen were not idle either. One is observing and analyzing the sacrificial formation, and the other is personally searching for the location of the holy spring based on the internal structure diagram of the God King Temple revealed by Fan Shansheng.
Everyone is busy, everything is calm as usual, but there seems to be an undercurrent.
Even the high priest Da Xikang, who has not been seen in public for a long time, is also "busy" with the important matter at hand.
"You mean... do you want to see the human named 'Yao Lin' in person? Do you need me to bring him before the prophecy?"
The old man in white robe lay on the ground and asked respectfully.
And directly in front of him, the huge snake spirit statue that reached into the clouds made a low voice in the mist:
"Yes... there is... an aura on him. I need to confirm it myself. But... don't let him find out and find other reasons to bring him here.
"Also, I also need to know more about the newly selected young priest. The two of them... may be the key to whether I can escape from the current predicament. You understand what I mean."
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Da Xikang's mind regarding these instructions from the Heavenly Snake Spirit, but he still didn't raise his head and replied in an extremely pious tone:
"Yes, my Lord. I will do my best to fulfill your instructions. The sacrificial array will be completed soon, and your divine state will soon reappear in the world."
"Go ahead."
The deep voice became more and more erratic, as if it was about to disappear into the clouds.
"The moment I regain my strength, I will naturally fulfill your wish and grant you the eternal life you expect."
…
"Ah! Who is talking about me? It's annoying."
Ling Yao touched his nose and said with an annoyed look,
"But I always feel that there is something fishy about that old guy Da Xikang suddenly calling us to the main hall..."
"trap?"
Ling Linhan asked.
"It's hard to say. Maybe it's just a test. After all, the sacrificial ceremony is not over yet. If the 'Snake Spirit Envoy' and the new priest suddenly disappear, it will be difficult for the God King Temple to explain it. But... it's better to be careful.
"Oh, by the way. Where is your silly wolf? Haven't seen you for a few days, right? Is it red?"
Faced with Ling Yao's thick mouth, Ling Linhan is now calm:
"...I gave it the Fire Spirit Pearl. It should still be in seclusion now. If it can come out of seclusion this time, it will probably be promoted to the peak of the fifth level."
"The speed is really fast. As expected of the protagonist's divine pet, the treatment is great... Ah, speaking of this, your realm has recovered a lot, right? Dongxu Mujie? It seems that the energy of the sacrificial ceremony has been fed back to you. , the benefits it brings to you are really not small.”
"Yes...but I'm afraid it still needs a little opportunity to return to its original level."
"Don't worry, as the protagonist, the opportunity you want will come to you soon."
Ling Yao patted Ling Linhan's shoulder and said something that sounded like comfort, but still made Ling Linhan a little confused.
"As long as you can promise not to 'retaliate' for that old millet and rotten sesame thing in the future, I'll do it. As agreed, you were the one who proposed to void Lao Shizi's 'five-year agreement'!"
"I know...I told you I won't leave Rukawa! I'm annoying you so much! Leave now! People are coming to your door, so you'd better go to the main hall and find out what they want to do!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Ling Yao happily patted Ling Linhan on the back and thought:
"Great, now my flag should be removed, yeah!"
