Chapter 624: Chapter 624: The Sacrifice Is Blocked
The nearest city from the top of the sun and moon is called Anyi, with a population of about one million, the highest and most conspicuous building in the center of the city is the temple, the statue of the sun goddess Xihe stands at the top of the building, holding the scepter in both hands, the face is dignified and majestic, revealing an inviolable divine might.
At this time, Ip Man Tianzheng was standing alone under the temple, looking up at the statue of Xihe who was high above.
Two temple guards stopped Ye Wentian, and after Ye Wentian revealed his intention, he immediately ushered in a priest.
The priest was a young man, about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, and was quite handsome, dressed in a priestly robe, with a reverent and solemn face.
However, when the priest saw Ye Wentian, his face suddenly fell, and he no longer walked down, but brushed his sleeves through dozens of stairs and said sharply: "Young man, you dare to lie about the sacrifice! This is blasphemy, and you will be punished by God, do you know?"
In his opinion, a mere sixteen-year-old boy could never afford the huge cost of sacrifice. You must know that even if it is the lowest level 10 sacrifice, the consumption required is converted into gold coins, which is definitely more than 10 million! Even some small families can't afford it, not to mention the randomness of the divine grace, and the sacrifice does not mean that they will definitely get the desired divine grace, so even if the financial resources are sufficient, few people choose to sacrifice, unless they encounter a situation where the sacrifice is necessary.
For this reason, there are very few people who come to the temple every year to sacrifice, and if the priest wants to quickly improve his level, in addition to self-cultivation, presiding over the sacrifice is the best way, and every priest who presides over the sacrifice will receive divine grace in the sacrifice, which can not only improve the level, but also prolong the life of eternal youth.
Ye Wentian's face also sank suddenly, he didn't expect that this sacrifice would be obstructed, and it was this kind of nonsensical obstruction, just because he was not very old, he thought he was lying?
"How can you conclude that I'm lying!" said Ye Wentian coldly.
"Do you think anyone is qualified to sacrifice? It's up to you to sell you and you can't make up the fraction needed for the sacrifice!" The priest was high up, looking down at Ye Wentian, and raised his hand to reprimand with a scepter, "Lying in front of the goddess is tantamount to blasphemy, I declare you guilty!"
"Guilty!" The two temple guards were expressionless, and the two halberds were clamped around Ye Wentian's neck.
"You dare to convict me?" Ye Wentian was angry, the priest's attitude made him extremely unhappy, looking up at the other party's raised chin, his whole body was full of murderous energy, his fists clenched and he was about to do it directly with a sneer.
If Ye Wentian started beating the temple guards and priests, it would not be as simple as blasphemy, but it would be equivalent to declaring war on the temple! It can be said that the status of the clergy is higher than that of the sect master of an ordinary sect, and an ordinary sect like the Fan Demon Sect or the Dragon Elephant Sect, when the sect master comes, he has to offer the priest as an ancestor.
At this moment, a convoy stopped in the square in front of the temple, in front of the convoy was a multicolored elk and two dragon horses, all of which were extraordinary beasts, especially the colorful elk was very gorgeous, with colorful glow entangled, the hooves were wrapped in red clouds, the deer's head was held high, it looked extremely noble, and even the dragon elk horse bowed its head and did not dare to approach.
On the top of the multicolored elk sat a middle-aged man with a long beard, dressed in a moire brocade robe, which was very luxurious. Next to Long Lin sat two young people, both of whom were handsome and extraordinary.
To be able to use the colorful elk as a mount is absolutely not honorable!
Ip Mantian and the priest both noticed the strange beasts and middle-aged people in front of the convoy, Ip Wentian didn't know who they were, but the priest immediately showed a warm smile and walked down the steps quickly to greet them.
"Who are they?" said Ip Mantian to the temple guards.
One of the temple guards was expressionless, and the other said lightly: "The city lord of this city, Chi Wanqiu!"
"Oh. Ye Wentian felt that this surname was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him, the surname of the ninth gluttonous sect of the Ten Sects of the Green Dragon was "Chi", could it be that this Chi Wanqiu had anything to do with the gluttonous sect? But since he can become the lord of a city, he must be inseparable.
Chi Wanqiu's expression was originally indifferent, but when he saw the priest, he immediately changed into a warm look, jumped down from the colorful elk and greeted him, and the young men on the two dragon lin horses also dismounted and followed.
"Priest Han, why are you here in person? Isn't this tormenting Chi?" Chi Wanqiu smiled repeatedly.
"Where is it, the Lord of Chi City has every opportunity, today you want to sacrifice, how can I not greet it in person?" Priest Han also smiled back.
Chi Wanqiu said: "Then this sacrifice will be presided over by the priest Lao Han." ”
Priest Han's eyes flashed with joy, and he bowed his head and said, "Then thank you to the Chi City Lord." ”
"Where, where, when you become the high priest, I will depend on you in the future. After speaking, he turned his head and said, "Come and meet Priest Han, he is the most gifted priest in the temple of this city, and he will definitely inherit the position of high priest in the future." ”
The two young men bowed their waists and clenched their fists at the same time: "I've seen Priest Han." ”
"Okay, well, these two are both extremely talented, and they will definitely be able to enter the Inner Sect and ascend to the Sky City in the future. Priest Han was in a good mood, completely forgot about Ip Mantian's cun, and praised with a smile on his face.
"Lord Priest has won the award, but this is not a disciple of my Chi family, let me introduce you, this is Ye Ming, the son of the city lord of Los Angeles, his talent is naturally excellent, and he will definitely be able to ascend to Sky City in the future and enter the inner sect of the Soul Splitting Sect, I hope he is a disciple of my Chi family, but it's a pity, hahaha." Ji Wanqiu said that he laughed first.
"Ye Ming, a disciple of the Outer Sect of the Soul Splitting Sect. ”
"Disciple of the outer sect of the gluttonous sect, Chi Shang Yuan. Both introduced themselves.
Chi Wanqiu said: "Dog Shangyuan and Ye Ming are good brothers when they are young, and both of them are extremely talented, after I discussed with Ye City Lord, I decided to make a joint venture to carry out a sacrifice, hoping to obtain the talent of the gods, and raise the talents of the two of them a little higher, so that it is greater to go to the imperial capital." ”
"I see, may the light of the sun goddess shine on you, come with me. Priest Han smiled, turned around and led the three of them towards the stone steps.
Ye Wentian's ears are excellent, and he can hear their conversation clearly, it turns out that it is actually the Soul Splitting Sect and the Gluttonous Sect, especially the Soul Splitting Sect, which is really a narrow road.
"If you want to blame it, you are unlucky, and you have to sacrifice on the day of my sacrifice, but it can only be said that the destiny is not on your side. Ye Wentian sneered in his heart, his shoulders shook, and the halberds that were pressed on his shoulders were suddenly shaken away, and he strode and stretched out his hand to stop in front of Priest Han.
"What's the matter with you, don't arrest him yet!" Priest Han said angrily at the guards.
The two temple guards endured the numbness of their arms, and immediately swung their halberds and slapped them on Ye Wentian's shoulders, but both of them used the side of the halberd blade, and they didn't want to hurt Ye Wentian's life.
"Catch me, I'll see who can catch me today!" Ye Wentian sneered and raised his hand to grab the falling halberd.
