"What was the situation here before the elder came here?"

In the hall on the top floor of the temple, Wei Youqing sat at a large long table, with Mi Li'er standing beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Mi Li'er listened carefully to the slave Han opposite Wei Youqing talking about the situation on Pearl Island, and compared it with what she knew in her heart.

Nuhan hesitated for a moment and said, "When I was born, the Elder was already on the island. I heard my grandmother say that in the past, on this island, it was the saints and the eldest men who had the final say. In the year when the elder came, a monster appeared on the island, and the elder beheaded the monster and became a priest and an eldest man. ”

"Youkai?"

Wei Youqing, who had not spoken, heard Nu Han say this, and asked strangely, "What kind of monster?" ”

Nuhan shook his head and said, "Not many people know about this matter anymore, the elder has been on this island for almost sixty or seventy years, and my grandmother is long gone. ”

Mi Li'er and Wei Youqing glanced at each other, most of the natives at the southern tip of Pearl Island only have a lifespan of more than thirty years, and those who can live to be forty years old are already high lifespans. Sixty or seventy years, enough people in the know are dead.

Wei Youqing didn't continue to ask, his father-in-law had instructed him not to delve too much into Shangyang Zhenren's past, especially to be careful of rice grains.

Li Chengyu also did not investigate the meaning of Shangyang Zhenren, until now, Shangyang Zhenren has always supported Wei Youqing. In this way, the high-level natives equivalent to the southern tip of Pearl Island are all supporting Wei Youqing, and the people they have to deal with now are the group of tribal leaders and wizards on the Temple Square.

On the square, Xia Zhengsu was wearing a grass skirt like other natives, his hair was scattered, wearing a necklace made of colorful shells and animal bones, and he was singing and dancing with a few natives, and his bright and long singing voice attracted the attention of many people.

The figures of Mu Sha and Ah Qi also disappear from time to time. The two of them frowned, looking at the women and children sitting in the square, the whole square, completely different from the solemnity they had been when they had come last year.

In the temple, under the dim light, Wei Youqing and Nu Han sat face to face. Wei Youqing looked at the Nu Han on the opposite side who had some blurred facial features, and asked, "Uncle Nu Han, many fish-man brothers at the north end have made carp people, what do you think?" ”

Although Nuhan didn't know the relationship between the northern tip of the Pearl Island and Wei Youqing, they were all of the same race, but everyone could see it.

Nuhan was silent for a while, the child in front of him, who was less than eight years old, seemed to have grown up a lot more than when he left the island last year, and his eyes were sharp and bright, so that people didn't dare to look at him as an ordinary child.

During the trip to Luoyang, as long as Shi Wen'er can take Wei Youqing to participate in the occasion, he must take him with him, and his daily homework must also be strictly inspected, as long as he can't complete it, or there are signs of slackness, he will be severely punished, and it is useless for anyone to intercede.

Nuhan looked at the little adult in front of him seriously, Hua Xi was not there, this little adult's words were the Holy Maiden's decree. He respectfully asked, "What do the priests think?" ”

"What did the leaders and wizards of these tribes say when they ran back?" Wei Youqing didn't say his opinion easily, but asked a slave again.

Nuhan shook his head helplessly and said, "What they want to see is the Holy Maiden, and they won't say anything more to me." ”

Wei Youqing said curiously: "When the Holy Maiden is away, isn't the eldest man in charge of this island?" ”

As soon as his words came out, he immediately understood from the expression of the slave man who wanted to speak and stopped, that he was wrong, Hua Xijian had succeeded to the position of the saint, and the eldest man had become himself, not a slave.

Wei Youqing walked to the south door, opened it, and walked up to a long and narrow platform outside, the railing of the platform was carved from white stone in the shape of various fish. The railing was so high that Wei Youqing couldn't even show his head from the railing.

Thanks to Nu Han's thoughtfulness, he built a tiptoe stone platform for Wei Youqing and Hua Xi, Wei Youqing jumped on the stone platform and looked at the square below. The sacrificial ceremony will be held tomorrow night, and today the square has been arranged, and the surrounding trees are full of torches, so I can't see the faces of the people below, and I can only see a lot of people in the square.

"There seem to be a lot of people coming this year."

When Nuhan heard Wei Youqing ask, he said, "They are all sorcerers and leaders of the tribes in the north, as well as those who came with them. ”

"In other words, many of these people are not qualified to participate in the sacrifice ceremony."

Nuhan glanced at Wei Youqing and replied, "Yes." ”

Wei Youqing turned his head disappreciably and looked at Nu Han: "Uncle Nu Han, don't you want the rules of our fishmen?" ”

Nuhan was a little flustered, and he said, "Priest, these people have no home, and they want to see the holy woman and are not there, so they have to rest in the square. It's not easy for a slave to say anything......"

Wei Youqing glared at Nu Han, and suddenly stretched his hands forward, and a large area of brilliant and colorful light and shadow exploded in his hand, endlessly, and disappeared into the sky.

The people in the square were stunned, and they all raised their heads to look at the place where the light source came from. It's just that after this gorgeous light and shadow, it becomes a temple like jade, and once again stands quietly in the dark night.

In a few moments, on the top floor of the temple, a golden light shone brightly, like the sun, and sprinkled into the square.

Wei Youqing held the priest's scepter in his hand, and the scepter was emitting dazzling golden light in his hand. Instead, his face was hidden in shadows that the golden light could not shine through.

The people in the square couldn't see Wei Youqing, they only saw the scepter that symbolized the priest.

"Sun God!"

I don't know who shouted, and then all the people showed panic on their faces, and they knelt down reverently and prostrate on the ground.

Wei Youqing's continuous internal force was injected into the scepter, and he had already understood the mystery of this scepter, and the reason why it was able to shine was completely driven by internal force.

After more than a year of hard practice, although Wei Youqing's internal strength is not profound, he can't illuminate the entire sacrificial hall like Shangyang Zhenren, but there is no problem in making this scepter shine for a short time.

The previous light was not unusual, and in the wilderness of the Northlands, there was a mass grave on it, and it was a ghost fire.

Wei Youqing took a deep breath, and let out a loud, neutral voice from the dantian: "The sacrificial square only belongs to the servants of the sun god!" Those who dare to invade will be killed! When the scepter is extinguished, it is the day of disillusionment! ”

Wei Youqing's words did not fall, only listening to the messy panic in the square below, seeing that the scepter in the priest's hand was getting darker and darker, except for the tribal leader and wizard, as well as Xia Zhengsu and other outsiders, everyone else left the square with a crawl, and in a blink of an eye, the square was much more empty and clean.

Wei Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, the priest's scepter was not something he could control for a long time, if he couldn't hold it and let the scepter go out, those women and children would have to die. Without the reverence for the supreme sun god, the temple would not be able to command the mighty native tribes.
