The rough marks of knives and axes are all over the surface of the stone the size of a human head, and the mottled marks left by the years can be seen everywhere!
These stones formed an ordinary base. Above the base, you can still see the blue bricks fired during the imperial period. The several-meter-high top is still a wooden structure, which together form this ancient and ordinary temple. .
During its long "life", this temple has been repaired many times, and patches can be seen everywhere. However, there are no murals carved on the surface of the blue bricks, nor any expressions of faith and reverence, just the roof. In addition to a sun pattern, the forehead stone in the middle is also carved with seven average-sized talismans, flowing with a faint divine light.
This is the west coast of the city-state on fire. Among thousands of temples, this one is the only one!
On the high platform in the temple, seven gilt seats have long been lined up. The seven officiating masters have not left their seats for a long time. The same is true for the seven golden crowns and the seven tall and majestic phantoms of gods behind them.
Any believer can see the divine light and the phantom of the gods through the empty window in the temple, gain supreme satisfaction and peace, and then kneel down and worship from the bottom of his heart!
Because God has said that only faith can enter the Kingdom of God, and the body and residence are all foreign objects!
The morning curtain opened, the sun shone, and another morning came to the world. The young saint, facing countless people kneeling in worship, walked towards the temple as usual.
There is also a phantom of the gods following closely, still with a touch of love and compassion in the majesty, the silver-white crown and ribbon are still extremely solemn, and there is a clear and shallow smile on the charming face, still holy and warmth!
Perhaps only the attendant priest behind her could understand the joy deep in the heart of Her Royal Highness the Saint! The corners of his lips raised involuntarily.
Wearing a simple priest robe that covers her high heels and stockings, this former "black priest" lady of Garo Academy now has her wish fulfilled and can stay with the person she cares about most all day long!
In the past hundreds of pillows and beds that had been unable to sleep, in the private bedroom created by the amiable Priest Sanyao himself, where even the phantoms of the gods could not peep, Ms. "Black Priest" knew better than anyone else - those who were only Just a few words, but never-ending news will always be the thing that worries Her Royal Highness the most!
Any changes about that person will always be magnified countless times in this dormitory! Stir up huge waves!
In fact, Ms. "Black Priest"'s thoughtful and considerate words of comfort have already exhausted her brain! For this reason, she consulted countless women in private, and even read through the thick temple teachings several times!
Even though she offered her arms without any reservation, she would never get tired of letting Her Highness the Saint, who often shed tears silently before falling asleep, rely on her! There may even be some indescribable sweetness deep in my heart, but the indescribable heartache and gnashing of teeth resentment are also the feelings Ms. "Black Priest" feels most of the time!
——She doesn’t care what that person does! The only thing she cares about is Her Royal Highness the Saint!
It wasn't until more than ten days ago, when the unexpected oracle broke the peace of the entire city-state in flames, and was then sent to the north as quickly as possible and accepted by that person, that Her Majesty the Saint was truly as happy as she is today. Even though you can’t see anything unusual on the surface!
And today is the day when the six temple chief priests set off!
In compliance with the Brahma Oracle, the officiating adults will travel with the highest etiquette! In the past tens of thousands of years, only a few powerful men in the altar would receive such courtesy when they were crowned as gods of light!
After all, the title of "Holy Son" has been unique for tens of thousands of years! Almost everything about that person’s past has been spread throughout the entire city-state that is bathed in flames! It has long been as sacred as this temple!
But when they entered the temple, they found that the faces of the seven officiants were full of anger! The divine light of the seven majestic phantoms is actually surging fiercely!
Even if all the divine power is a gift from Qiyao God, the seven officiating masters are all at the altar level after all! Such a reaction can only show that their mood is extremely unusual right now!
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Saint had arrived, the expressions of the seven officiants softened, especially the officiant Sanyao, whose eyes unconsciously showed kindness, as usual, as if they were meeting their own juniors.
After the "Black Priestess" saluted, she quietly stepped aside and quietly looked at the seven officiating masters and the seven phantoms of gods. She certainly understood the status of the "Divine Prison Hall" holding the staff. The attitude of Sanyao officiating master was actually The attitude of the temple and even the entire burning city-state! But even though she has only been here for more than a year, she has to admit that Priest Sanyao really cares about Her Royal Highness the Saint! She is considerate of everything, no matter how small or small, and is very tolerant in many things. Even with her "black priest" temper, it is difficult to criticize her.
So is this temple! In fact, all preparations have been made for additional seats on the high platform to show respect for the gift of Brahma and recognition of Her Royal Highness the Saint! This was a very serious matter for the temple, but Her Majesty the Saint only hesitated for a moment, and Sanyao, the officiant, immediately made the decision to cancel it. He also suppressed the objections of several other officiants in public. After all, the seat itself It represents restraint, which is not suitable for a young girl.
As for Her Majesty the Holy Lady, she often reduces or even cancels the offerings of many believers without authorization, often ignores the threshold of "piety", and randomly casts "Great Blessing Technique", "Great Divine Grace Technique", and even "Great Dispelling Technique". Chief Priest Yao has never even had a single word of criticism!
After a simple greeting, this routine meeting was actually over. Her Royal Highness the Saint should go to certain temples to comfort believers and explain doctrines according to the scheduled schedule-yes, even for many items. I understand that the chief priest of Sanyao has fully adopted the interpretation of Her Highness the Saint, and immediately added it to the "Doctrine Notes". In the words of this gentleman, "Her Highness the Saint is closer to the divine than any other chief priest." !
However, the chief priest Sanyao stepped down from his seat and handed over a communication crystal!
Her Royal Highness the Saint only took one look at her face, her face changed color, and she asked in a trembling voice:
"Brother Yu, how is he...how is he?!"
"Brahma! Your Majesty the Holy Son has escaped from danger and is in good health! It is unimaginable to escape unharmed in the space burial ground except for the protection of the gods! I have asked His Majesty Hassan and His Majesty Hua Chong to strengthen their protection. , we must never let anything happen to His Royal Highness the Holy Son again!"
Hassan and Hua Chong are two of the four gods of light in the temple. They are currently assisting in the fight against demons in the frozen representative temple in the north. Ms. "Black Priest" bites her silver teeth secretly. It seems that this guy is in trouble again!
Naturally, she would not take the title of "Holy Son" seriously, just like Her Royal Highness the Saint, whom she had already made up her mind to accompany for the rest of her life, she would always be the gentle and innocent "Miss Wei'er" in her heart!
Her Royal Highness the Saint felt a little relieved, but stopped talking when she heard the chief priest slap the seat hard and said angrily:
"The black market is so crazy! Even the Holy Son of my temple dares to attack! Our temple can't let it go like this anymore! The black market must be eradicated completely!"
Qiyao, the chief priest, took over late, and seldom spoke on weekdays. At this time, he also spoke:
"Lord Sanyao! I also think that you are too kind. You are only kind and forgiving to those outside the burning city-state, but you have no deterrent! This will not only put those who believe in my god in danger, but will also encourage the flames of the black market! Those black market thugs Treat human life as nothing! They are all heinous people! Even I have heard of all kinds of sins! That Nalanyi man has been crazy for a long time! Now he has come to plot against His Highness the Holy Son. It is an unforgivable crime! Lord Sanyao! Please note that the scriptures cannot Influence everything! Gods also get angry sometimes!"
All the officiants agreed! Eryao's chief priest couldn't speak, so he tapped his scepter heavily! Even the oldest priest Si Yao left his seat and came to them and said solemnly:
"Sanyao! The black market is huge and dark, and it has been deeply rooted in the world for many years! It may be colluding with many forces in the dark, as can be seen from the Nalan family! There may also be many hidden stakes entrenched in our Burning Fire City. If things go on like this, evil thoughts and evil intentions will The evil will definitely become more and more infected! The Speaker cannot be distracted from the overall situation of resisting demons now. Although our temple has meager force and cannot participate in the war, we must set an example for the world in this matter! I think we should immediately investigate and trace within the city-state in flames. Suppress! But we will never tolerate those who are related to the black market! As for other city-states, they should first station strong men in temples in various places, ready to cooperate with the parliament to pursue the black market! Of course, this still needs the approval of the Speaker! "
The chief priest Si Yao looked at Her Majesty the Saint and consoled her in a harmonious voice:
"Your Highness, there is no need to be too anxious. We old guys will set off today to get to His Highness the Holy Son as soon as possible! We will also report the black market to the Speaker in person, at least let the Speaker know about our temple. Determination!"
"Master Priest...I...can I go see Brother Yu..." Her Royal Highness the Saint asked in a low voice.
Priest Sanyao's eyes were more kind, but his expression was obviously troubled, and he said with a wry smile:
"Your Highness... Consecrating the Holy Son is a top priority. Logically speaking, I should go, but there must be someone at the temple... If you go too, what will you do about comforting believers and interpreting doctrines... You too You can’t bear to leave everything to this old man like me..."
Her Royal Highness the Saint lowered her head and said nothing, but she agreed, but the "Black Priest" lady beside her felt as if needles were pricking her! I couldn't help but scolded that guy over and over again countless times!
Although she was very aware of the horrors of the black market, that guy still seemed to be a "trouble" causing bad luck!
Sanyao looked at the other six chief priests and said in a deep voice:
"Please ask Your Majesty Yang Yan and Nanmu to come out of the Divine Grace Hall and lead the Divine Grace Knights to investigate the interior of the Burning City!
"The two major knights of Divine Prison and Qiming have broken up on their own and are stationed in the main temples of various city-states! Do not move without the order of the council!
"When you meet the Speaker, you must not overstep the mark in the slightest! To avoid misunderstanding! How about that?"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!……"
After five approvals and a sound of the scepter, Priest Sanyao looked at Her Royal Highness the Saint lovingly and said warmly:
"Now that the War Court Legion has completed the encirclement of the Demonic Barrier Area, this battle should be over soon. Your Highness, please bear with it for a while..."
The chief priest of Si Yao also smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I will definitely hand over the thing of yours to His Highness the Holy Son personally. Haha, I think His Highness the Holy Son will definitely express his feelings."
Her Royal Highness the Saint nodded, and then walked out of the temple. The Saint's exclusive car was already waiting outside the door. A warm and gentle smile once again appeared on her face as soft as an angel!
The praises and obeisances were overwhelming, and all the believers in the city-state on fire did not like this His Highness! Only Ms. "Black Priest" knows the deep concern hidden behind these smiles!
She knows better than anyone else - her young lady's heart has once again traveled across mountains and seas, and has already drifted to that person...
…………
During this time, believers have also gone to various walks of life to start the day's work. The teachings say: dedication will keep the mind at peace, thereby obtaining the purity approved by the gods...
As usual, the temple continued to be quiet. All the attendants were busy preparing the ceremony and carriages outside. The accompanying priests who had been selected in advance were already waiting in line outside the door.
After all, the six chief priests traveled with the utmost etiquette. Even though all the attendants have been busy in the past ten days, there are still many things to do.
The seven phantoms of gods have also become quiet, and have restored their majesty as usual. The continuously flowing divine power is faintly connected behind the high platform, like a whole sacred picture standing low-key.
The officiating adults continued to sit on the gilded seats, with peaceful expressions and solemn postures. They were radiant under the flow of divine power, but there was no oppression at all from the powerful and respected status of the altar.
It seems that they will always be like this, quietly feeling Brahma in the tranquility from the inside out, and quietly waiting for the gods' instructions.
Any attendant priest who enters this place at any time will see the faces of these seven kind and peaceful old men, and respect will flow from deep in his heart.
At this time, Sanyao, the chief priest, took out the communication stone and placed it in a patterned depression on the armrest. The whole person and the seat became hazy.
A vague figure appeared in the communication stone, appearing even smaller under the nesting of many heavy space images, and immediately fell to the ground!
Darkness and the dim light that also came from the space crystal shrouded the figure, and together with the snow flakes sweeping around the body and the vast white earth, formed the background of the communication stone. The figure's clothes were also featureless, and seemed to be just a person. A very ordinary master cultivator, his rough face has already turned red from the cold, but he doesn't care about the cold at all!
"Wild Crow! I've met Lord Wuxie!"
The voice floated out from the communication stone. It was already very light in the range of the high platform, but it was not too low!
So it’s easy to hear the respect from that figure! There is even a hint of vibrato at the end. I don’t know if it’s excitement or fear, or maybe it’s just the howling wind and snow!
"How's it going?" Priest Sanyao asked, looking at the armrest naturally, as usual!
However, the figure knelt even deeper! It seems that this sentence and the person asking the question are both a cold light in the dark night!
"Sir... the target walked out of the space burial ground nine hours ago. He was immediately discovered by the powerful man from the altar and taken to the war court headquarters. It is said that there was a woman who walked out with him..."
"Female? But she's from Nalanyi?"
"Currently...it is currently impossible to determine..."
"Huh? Not sure?"
"Yes... but the target and a Changfeng Legion ranger have just been sent back to the Redbud Legion station. The ranger is covered in armor and can't be approached by the rabbit... It is said that... she is also a woman..."
The figure's answers gradually became more urgent, as if he was gradually beginning to panic, especially when the adult fell silent!
After a long time, the chief priest Sanyao continued to ask:
"Why did Nalanyi and No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 act without authorization?"
The figure's head was buried in the wind and snow, just like the most devout believer, but his voice became more and more trembling!
"My lord, forgive me! She... They were originally lurking in the rear... More than ten days ago, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 were recruited as logistics personnel respectively, but the war court did not force them. She and No. 3 originally reported that they would continue to stay in the logistics. South of the latitude, for some reason he went north with the team... When my subordinates learned about it, it was too late to stop it... and they suspected..."
"What do you suspect?"
"The latent identity of No. 3 is a priest's handyman, and the Nalan family has a close relationship with the temple! My subordinates suspect that... Nalan Yi and the temple may have already established a private relationship... Maybe someone from the temple has tipped her off! Otherwise... ...It is impossible for her to know the target situation from behind..."
"Then what about the 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal'?! It was also given to her by the priest of the temple?! Why is it in the hands of Nalanyi?! Without the 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal', how could she dare to enter the space burial ground?!"
Sanyao's chief priest suddenly became cold and gloomy!
"Sir...Sir, please spare my life!" The figure kowtowed and cried out in a mournful voice:
"The 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal' already contains the storage magic tools No. 2, No. 3, No. 4... The last time Nalanyi met his subordinates was for a routine inspection... At that time, the rear was heavily mobilized... There were many people Eyes... This subordinate is worried that his identity will be exposed... Nalan Yi is usually extremely docile... So... that's why my subordinate temporarily handed over the 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal' to her... But the 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal' is really The method of use has never been leaked by my subordinates..."
"That's the last divine crystal left by the long-extinct Kong Kun Monster Clan! Before she went to the north, she was in charge of all the intelligence files on the black market! Have you turned a deaf ear to what I told you?! You loser!"
That figure was sweating profusely in an instant! The body was as limp as mud! He struggled and shouted:
"Spare your life! Spare your life, my lord! The control magic tools of No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 are still in the hands of my subordinates! This subordinate... I will send people to guard the area around the space cemetery! I will definitely bring her and the divine crystal back. …”
"You are wrong. Nalan Yi is a smart person. Unless I go there, she will not come out again." Priest Sanyao regained his composure and said calmly!
"But...but her strength is completely useless...Beacon Aloe Vera Pure Liquid is only enough for her for half a month...she...she also needs to eat and drink..."
"Aren't there still all the spare parts for No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 in the 'Kong Kun Divine Crystal'?" Sanyao's tone became more and more indifferent!
The figure was startled, and suddenly covered his mouth tightly, as if some kind of nauseating scene suddenly appeared in front of him! Even this figure, who has long been accustomed to the smell of blood, can't stand it!
Priest Sanyao looked at the handrail lightly, shook his head slightly and said:
"Forget it, you're still useful. Just write one entry in the 'fault book'. You shouldn't have less than seven entries, right?"
"Dissatisfied! Dissatisfied! Ye Ya thanked Lord Wuxie! My subordinates must be furious..."
"Okay, follow the order!"
The figure immediately stopped talking and remained silent in the violent storm and snow!
"All hares remain silent! Look for opportunities to evacuate the extreme north as soon as possible!
"If there is any oversight, including you, you all know what to do!"
"I obey my orders!"
It wasn't until all the dim light dissipated that the figure got up!
This is a sentry post outside a certain military station. This figure is wearing ordinary clothes and armor. It turns out to be an auxiliary soldier responsible for guarding!
He quickly tore off a piece of clothing, took out a charcoal pen and drew three exclamation marks, then dug through his messy hair, and soon pinched out a gray-white "hair". This "hair" was caught in the cold wind. It quickly became twisted and became much thicker. It turned out to be a "snow worm" that is not uncommon in the northern frozen soil!
This kind of native species can withstand low temperatures of minus 60 to 70 degrees. Apart from liking warmth and being able to stretch its body, it poses no threat to humans, but this one seems to be very flexible!
The piece of clothing was rolled up into a bundle and forced into the round mouthparts of the "snow worm". However, the soft inner cavity was not scratched, but was forcibly shrinking! The light gray clothes quickly became difficult to identify, and the "snow worm" quickly returned to normal!
But this insect has been extremely frightened. Even if the place where it just stayed is not only warm but also contains some extremely tempting smell, it will never dare to return to its original place!
But that smell seems to have more than one source. Its sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and it seems to be coming from somewhere dozens of kilometers away!
Very few people know that in the ice and snow, "snow worms" are actually extremely fast! The endurance is also very long-lasting! Because although the food chain in northern frozen soil is thin, they are at the bottom! For hundreds of millions of years, this ethnic group has been enhancing its ability to dig and escape!
And this specially prepared "snow worm" is even more so! Under the temptation of that smell, it will take less time to travel dozens of kilometers!
He quietly walked back to the tent, holding a small, exquisite but faceless black stone statue in his hand - this is an ancient custom in some tower areas to worship ancestors!
The snoring of the two companions was still the same, even if they were awakened by the tent wind, they had already become accustomed to it! But he still stood silently beside his companion's bed for a long time, as if to catch any slightest difference!
Then, he sat down next to the fire, with his back turned to his companions. Only now did he dare to feel fear in the depths of his eyes! Then there is the joy of surviving the disaster! Cold sweat breaks out!
In his eyes, the aloof Master Wuxin will always wear that flawless black mask, which is almost the same as the stone statue he just put back on the altar table, and it was the same just now!
But he knew better - Master Wuxie's tone rarely strayed from the ordinary! Because disengagement represents anger! And Master Wuxie's reaction just now was simply furious!
In anger, the fate of the initiator will be extremely miserable! He has used those extremely terrifying methods countless times, but he never wants it to happen to him!
He is far away in the north, and he is separated from Lord Wuxi by an unknown number of kilometers! But even if he was really "useless" just now, he never thought of escaping! I will only deeply regret all the mistakes in my "mission"!
Because everything he has was given by Lord Wuxie! All the "beautiful things" he owns, cares about, and is obsessed with are all in Master Wuxin's black market!
If these are also beliefs, then he is much more pious than the Naranyi people!
And more than ten minutes ago, in the ordinary temple in the city-state that was bathed in fire, Sanyao, the chief priest, naturally removed the communication stone, and naturally it was no longer hazy!
Preparations are still going on outside the door, and on the high platform, the other six officiating masters are still kind and peaceful!
It’s like I didn’t hear anything!
