I'm actually an alchemist

Chapter 242 Opportunity
Although the pope's help has too many other colors.

However, from an objective point of view, after all, he helped Yang Qing solve the trouble.

Yang Qing still has to pay back this favor.

As for the Pope, how should I put it, he schemes against everyone.However, his original intention was to safeguard the interests of the temple, so he would support everything that was in line with the interests of the temple, and he would resolutely oppose anything that violated the interests of the temple.

For example, the Zijinhua Chamber of Commerce last time was precisely the conflict between the imperial court and Yang Qing.Although it was caused by Lin Qiu's disguise as a man, the two parties in the final conflict were Yang Qing and the eldest princess.

When the imperial court began to publicly condemn Yang Qing, the Pope chose to support Yang Qing without hesitation.

The reason is simple, Yang Qing played out his identity as a wizard.And the Pope also knew that after this incident, Yang Qing was almost definitely bound to the side of the temple.

A young and promising wizard with a bright future, coupled with the now more advanced flame god, the pope couldn't think of any reason not to help Yang Qing.

Now, the temple is about to open a grand ceremony.

Yang Qing reciprocated, so naturally she also wanted to express her feelings.

……

Now that I have decided to go.

Yang Qing began to choose candidates to go to Chang'an.

Agui wanted to take part of the elite troops as guards, and Zhu Gui would definitely go for the rest.Participating in the grand ceremony this time is not the only goal. Chang'an City is bustling with business, and Zhu Gui went to continue to open up business routes.Old man Liu is also going. After taking charge of the caravan transportation business, this guy has shown unprecedented energy.

I heard that the woman who abandoned him before asked someone to speak, saying that she was blind and deceived at the beginning, but now she has repented and wants to come back and live in peace with old man Liu.In the end, Boss Liu didn't say anything, he just pinched his nostrils, flicked his fingers, and landed on the face of the messenger.

Today, Boss Liu's transportation team has a name, which was given by the lord himself: Storm Express, and by the way, there is an advertisement slogan: Storm Express, the mission must be achieved.

That's basically it for manpower.

After the notification is sent.

Zhu Gui and others began to arrange their work after they left.

With Lin Qiu in charge of Stormwind City, Yang Qing felt relieved.

After all the arrangements were made, Yang Qing went to the meeting room.

Today, he wants to meet an acquaintance whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

……

In the banquet hall.

Heishi's aesthetic remains unchanged, with his chest bare and a red cloak.Around his neck was a gold chain as thick as a dog's chain, and on his hands were ten fingers and twenty rings.

At this time, he was sitting on a chair, slowly sipping tea.

At this time, a soldier shouted: "My lord is here!"

Heishi quickly put down his teacup and stood up.

Then, he saw the young man who used to fight side by side in Sword Tower City, walking in from behind with a calm demeanor.

"Hey, Yang Qing!"

Heishi immediately stood up, walked over and hugged Yang Qinglai.

Afterwards, Heishi smiled and opened his arms to Agui: "Brother Agui, long time no see!".

Agui smiled: "Long time no see!"

After Heishi finished greeting, he looked at Yang Qing and said, "I didn't expect to see you in a few years, Yang Qing, you are already the lord!"

Yang Qing said: "You have become a Khan, how can I make progress. Should I call you Khan now or..."

"Call me Black Stone!"

Hei Shi laughed loudly and said, "I've heard that Stormwind City is the richest city in the world, but I didn't expect it to be your territory!"

"What about you, how have you been these few years?"

Yang Qing asked.

"Okay!"

Heishi scratched his hair, spread his hands and said: "For the past three years, I have been busy collecting the old troops and then fighting. The previous barbarian alliance was broken up by you, and it has been fighting for a long time. Last year, I gathered them, and now the barbarians The Civil War is over! What about you?"

"I!"

Yang Qing smiled and said: "After we separated, I went back to Chang'an with General Gongsun and the others, and then became a wizard, and then I got a fief, and then I came here!"

"What about them? General Gongsun and them!"

Black Stone's eyes were full of nostalgia.

The scene of fighting side by side at the beginning is still vivid in his memory, which made him deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, the first time to fight side by side turned out to be with the people of Dazhou.

This made him feel incredible, but also filled with emotion.

After chatting for a while, Heishi cut to the chase and said, "Yang Qing, I'm here today to ask for your help!"

help?

Yang Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

Heishi glanced at the guards around him.

Yang Qing heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, waved his hand, and made everyone retreat except Agui.

Then Heishi said: "Have you heard of the Temple of Heaven?"

Ok?
Temple of Heaven?

When Yang Qing heard this, his ears perked up.

"I've heard of it, I know it's the holy land of your barbarians!" Yang Qing nodded.

Heishi said disdainfully: "Holy land of shit!"

Heishi narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You know, during the three years since I returned to the wasteland, I asked many old people in the tribe and learned a lot about the past!"

"At that time, our barbarians were like flowers on the prairie, with various colors and shapes. However, since the appearance of the Temple of Heaven, the prairie has become one color! And the barbarians The people of the country have also lost the most precious things!"

Heishi sighed lightly and said, "That's riding a horse unrestrained on the grassland, that... is freedom!"

Having said that, Heishi sighed.

The former shaman was the angel of Changshengtian, and Changshengtian was kind and broad-minded.But now the shaman no longer worships the Changshengtian, but worships the temple of heaven and ghosts.They have become tools, tools for the Temple of Heaven to enslave the grasslands and control the people!

Heishi sighed softly, his eyes were full of unwillingness and said: "The barbarians who have lost their freedom, even if they are powerful, are just strong slaves!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Yang Qing squinted his eyes and asked.

Looking at the sunlight outside the door, Heishi said calmly, "As long as I am Khan, barbarians will never be slaves!"

He turned his head, looked at Yang Qing and said, "I want to defeat the Heavenly Dao Temple, so, Yang Qing, I ask you to help me!"

After Yang Qing pondered for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Heishi.

Just when Heishi thought that Yang Qing was going to refuse, he suddenly heard Yang Qing say, "What do you need?"

Heishi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he told Yang Qing some of the inside stories he knew.

……

It turned out that in the past few decades, the barbarian tribes have handed over a group of children to the walking of the Temple of Heaven every year.Then, You Xing led the group of children to the Heavenly Dao Temple.

According to the statistics of Blackstone's subordinates, the barbarian alliance has a total of 37 large tribes and more than 100 small tribes.Large tribes send away more than 50 children a year, while small tribes send away [-] children a year.

According to this calculation, more than 4000 children are sent to the Temple of Heaven every year.Over the past few decades, the barbarian tribal alliance has sent 10,000+ children to the Temple of Heaven.

However, none of these children came back.

Until last year, a herdsman rescued a crazy and naked teenager in a snowy day.

The young man was covered with frostbite, and he seemed to have experienced something terrible before, and he looked terrified.

Slurred speech and confusion.

It wasn't until the old herdsman brought him back to the tent and drank a bowl of warm milk tea that the boy regained some sanity.

The boy said in a low voice, he escaped from the Heavenly Dao Temple.

He said that the children who were sent to the Tiandao Temple with him began to be given medicine as soon as they entered.At the beginning, they thought it was the magic medicine given to them by the god of heaven, which could make them live forever, so everyone happily took the medicine.

But after a few months, they found out.

They are getting thinner and hungrier.

And every time he felt that he was about to starve to death, someone in the temple would send that kind of pill.Miraculously, no matter how hungry they are, as soon as they take the pill, they feel full instantly.

But, to their horror, they are getting thinner and thinner.

Even, some people are so thin that only skin and bones are left.

Although, their strength became stronger and stronger, and their fists became harder and harder.However, they don't want to go on with that kind of inhumane and ghostly appearance.And sadly, when they thought about leaving, they found that they couldn't do without that medicine.

a few months later.

A companion who was so thin that his eyeballs popped out never woke up after taking the medicine.His body was taken away by the servants of the temple, and he did not know where it was taken.

This scene made the young man feel a bone-chilling chill and deep fear.

So, after lurking for a whole day, he finally found an opportunity to escape from the Temple of Heaven.

It was only after nine deaths all the way that he left the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains.

I thought I would be buried in this vast snowfield, but was saved by an old man grazing.

But unexpectedly, within a day, the boy died.

Herdsmen buried it in their pasture.

I thought this was the end of the matter.

But no one expected that the boy would crawl out of the frozen soil on the third day after his death.

He turned into a black shiny skeleton, with scarlet eyes shining like a crazy devil, and began to slaughter wantonly.

He first slaughtered more than 30 sheep in the herdsman's sheepfold, and then went so far as to kill the herdsman's family.The old herdsman escaped this disaster by hiding in the cellar.

What is even more creepy is that shortly after the herdsman's family was killed by the skeleton monster, it soon began to rot.And eventually turned into the same black skeleton, they have no consciousness, no sanity.They picked up the bone knife, followed behind the skeleton monster, and walked towards the depths of the wasteland.

……

The afternoon sun shines into the banquet living room, giving people a warm feeling.

But the speaker and the listener did not feel the slightest warmth, but coldness all over their bodies.

Yang Qing took a breath, looked at Heishi and said, "You mean, the boy turned into a skeleton monster, and it was done by the Temple of Heaven? Also, people who are killed by a skeleton monster will also become a skeleton monster?"

"Yes!"

Heishi's eyes were bloodshot, he clenched his fists angrily, and gritted his teeth: "For decades, the barbarians have regarded him as a living being, and they have been making offerings to them. I didn't expect that this horrible ghost temple would treat us and other people Treat them like pigs and dogs and slaughter them wantonly! If not stopped, our barbarians will disappear from this world forever in a short time! And when the time comes, the Temple of Heaven with millions of skeletons and monsters, who can stop it? live!"

Hei Shi raised his head, looked at Yang Qing and said, "I hope you can help me and let me talk to the emperor of your human empire. This is a catastrophe for the world. I hope we can temporarily put aside our confrontation and fight against the Temple of Heaven together!"
