Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

This is the second time Lou Yueniang has participated in the sacrificial ceremony of Ruchuan Shenwang Temple in her life.

When she participated in the sacrificial ceremony for the first time, she was still an immature child.

Even if she is an ordinary person, she can't kneel down to pray and receive the gift of God at the place closest to the high platform like those former priest candidates, but can only stand far behind - this is also an extremely precious opportunity.

If it weren't for the status of the old village owner in Anqi, she would never have the qualifications to come to observe such a solemn and majestic ceremony.

Not to mention being baptized by the holy spring under the auspices of the high priest here, and witnessing the coming and prophecy of Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit with his own eyes.

And today, ten years later, she no longer needs her father as a backer, and she has been recognized by everyone in Anqi with her own ability, and she has the opportunity to stand on this sacred land again.

The colored cloth strips hanging above the main road are intertwined, and the banner with the golden snake totem is flying in the air.

The priests wore sacrificial gowns with platinum patterns, and waved their magic weapons in unison, forming talismans.

The most devout believers knelt on the ground, familiar tones and eulogies echoed in front of the statue of the god-king exuding soft light...

Just like ten years ago.

However, there are still some slight differences.

Her eyes turned slightly, and she looked at a familiar figure on the high platform.

Although that person was wearing the same sacrificial robe and wielding the same magic weapon as the other priests, he was reciting the priest's mantra intently, and did not give her the slightest glance.

But in her eyes, he is different from others.Maybe it's the young man's youthful vigor, or the youthful and mature skin—she couldn't move her eyes away from it.

"Hmph... your taste is at this level."

Dao Jinwen, who was standing beside her, snorted softly, turned her head away in disdain,

"Even if that kind of brat stands on it, there's nothing to see."

Lou Yueniang turned her head slightly in surprise, and then showed a clear smile:

"It seems that you really like that friend of Han Lin's, you haven't moved your eyes away..."

Dao Jinwen suddenly showed an expression of anger from embarrassment when someone punctured her:

"What a joke! I don't like that kind of arrogant guy! I'm just looking at the priests! Although I was not selected this year... But sooner or later! Sooner or later I will become one of them!

"And ten years later, I am also qualified to go to the front! You are not qualified to stand with me in the future!"

In fact, everyone in Anqizhai knew that Dao Jinwen had some kind of interest in Ling Yao, because this girl really didn't have the slightest intention of restraining herself, and she always found excuses to "get close" with her, so enthusiastic that she almost fell in love with her. She was going to hide in Ling Linhan's room overnight to seek "innocence".

To be honest, Lou Yueniang and Ling Linhan are "[-]" in love, while Dao Jinwen and Ling Yao are what really makes people see what "wishful thinking" is.It's just that Dao Jinwen has never been used to Lou Yueniang's temperament, and she just likes to find fault with others.

But in the face of Dao Jinwen's almost provocative words, Lou Yueniang was not annoyed, but gently stroked the hanging hair that fell on her shoulders:

"Yeah. However, it's normal for Jinwen to like that person. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Lou Yueniang turned her head slightly and looked at Ling Yao who was also standing on the high platform.

Different from those priests who wore white robes with gold patterns, the young man was still wearing a blue-gray left lapel gown with an off-white belt, a black medicine bag without any pattern hanging from his waist, and a plain cloak wrapped around his head. scarf.

But it was precisely this that made him stand out among them.

He didn't have a magic weapon in his hand, and he didn't recite those scriptures in his mouth; although he was always looking at the statue of the snake king, he just put one hand on his hips, and the other hand fiddled with the ice python wrapped around his arm, with a serious expression on his face. There is no trace of piety.

It seemed that he was just standing there chattering in every possible way, waiting for the people in front of him to quickly end today's chanting.

However, with such an attitude, the priests on the high platform were not dissatisfied with him - not only allowed him to continue like this, but even made him stand at the place closest to the statue of the Snake King, as if declaring his lofty status to the world.

He is neither bent for the powerful, nor bound by his status; he is free and easy, not surprised by favor or humiliation, and unrestrained.

Such a person is not admired, but also yearned for.

"If I hadn't met Han Lin first, maybe I would also like such a person."

Dao Jinwen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but finally didn't answer the words.

"Concentrate. Today is the most important part of the sacrificial ceremony before Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit descends. Don't make us Anqi look bad because of trivial matters! Especially you, Dao Jinwen, you still want to become the priest of the Temple of God, Don't be ashamed of yourself in this situation!"

Lou Chuanyang split his mind a little, and communicated with Dao Jinwen and Lou Yueniang.

Lou Yueniang naturally had no objection, and although Dao Jinwen was about to speak, but thinking of the content of today's sacrifice, she snorted coldly and stopped being a demon.

Yes, today's sacrifice is very important-the high priest will open the holy spring baptism, attracting all the snake monsters who have enlightened wisdom in Rukawa to come to the sacrifice site-this is a gift to the same kind of Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit, which reflects the power of Tongtian The generosity of the Snake Spirit and the Temple of the King of God also highlights that the Temple of the King of God has been recognized by the snake spirits and is a means for them to consolidate their lofty status.

The baptism of the holy spring on this day is also called the Feast of Ten Thousand Snakes by Ruchuan people.

Those awkward and obscure syllables finally came to an end, and Da Xikang raised the staff symbolizing the high priest and pointed it in the air.The place where the gems were inlaid on the staff suddenly shone with a thousand zhangs of light.

At the same time, the golden statue of the Snake King also emitted a faint glow, and a white mist slowly gushed out from its mouth, gradually filling the crowd.

As the field of vision was blocked by fog, the sound of spring water gushing came from the mouth of the snake.

slam-la-

All the priests shouted in unison:

"Respectfully invite Lord Snake Spirit to the banquet!"

In this echoing shout, there was finally a slight abnormal sound from the depths of the jungle.

Suo Suo Suo Suo...

At first, the voices were just dots, and then gradually gathered into a large piece of restlessness:

"Hiss..." "Hiss!" "Hiss——"

In the end, it was all over the mountains and plains.

The priests standing on the high platform were all "very pious", and no one was distracted to look at the snakes that made a big noise.

Ling Yao was not so restrained.

With the mist blocking people's sight, Ling Yao finally withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere.

Although few people looked back, it didn't mean that everyone present had no fear of "The Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes".

Not to mention the ordinary people who came to participate in the sacrificial ceremony in the audience, they are the official priests—that’s right, the brats Nanrong and Qiu, who look good, and the hair under the large sacrificial robes has long been shaken into sieves .

Oh hoo, what a pity.He remembered that the manuscript said that at the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes, there were so many snakes that they would climb onto the priests.I don't know if this kid will be scared to cry.

Although he touched his chin and smiled like he was sympathizing with Nan Rong and Qiu.

In other words, he soon had no time to sympathize with Nanrong and Qiu.

Swah——

The holy spring water gushing from the mouth of the Snake King Statue flowed on the high platform, and the snakes who heard the wind didn't care about the priests standing aside, they swarmed up like evil spirits, and quickly filled the high platform to the brim. Seeing that is called a stunned.

"Wow...it's so cruel...I feel like some dwarf is about to be buried...By the way, why don't you look so interested? The holy spring is also very effective for healing?"

While Ling Yao secretly broke his mouth with the little ice python, he unceremoniously poked a giant python beside him with his hand, and the giant python turned its head slightly, revealing a vicious look.

"Ah... Itchy hands. It's just itchy hands... Hehe."

Ling Yao spread his hands silently, with an expression of "I'm so innocent".

Facing the "warning" from the giant python, the ice python wrapped around Ling Yao's arm suddenly stood up and bared its fangs fiercely at the giant python.

Then after a period of "snake talk" that Ling Yao couldn't understand at all, the giant python silently turned its head back, as if nothing had happened.

...Although I don't understand what you two are talking about, I saw you rolling your eyes at each other!He really rolled his eyes!Dislike each other? Hey!

With the continuous influx of snake-like monsters, the mist from the holy spring was also being absorbed bit by bit, and slowly subsided.But people who are in the mist, or even come into contact with the surging spring water, have more or less benefited.

This is just the holy spring that has been diluted countless times by the Temple of God.It is worthy of being the spiritual marrow of the earth veins that nourishes the water and soil.

However, Ling Yao felt that today's holy spring baptism was a bit different from the simple version of "lighting" baptism that he had undergone in the main hall before.

Theoretically speaking, although the amount of holy spring used for the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes is large, most of the energy is taken up by these snakes and then distributed to so many snakes and so many people, the benefit that a single individual can get is actually limited .

Therefore, the benefits that Ling Yao can get should be less than the "lighting" baptism.

But today, he feels that he has received real benefits.

The sea of ​​consciousness is clear, the veins are bright, and the dantian is smooth...

Could it be that his villain aura has been hidden, and his benefits have returned?

The thought of going offline only stayed for a moment, and Ling Yao quickly sank into meditation, digesting the energy in his body and the emerging inspiration.

……

Fan Shansheng, who was also standing on the high platform, was also digesting the benefits brought by the holy spring baptism, but soon, he noticed something unusual.

As time goes by, the mist of the holy spring is rapidly melting.This speed is unusual.

The amount of holy spring used this year seems to be less than in previous years.

This sounds like a trivial problem, but those snake masters who are used to baptizing in holy springs as offerings don't think it is trivial.

Originally, the total amount of holy spring water provided by the Temple of the Divine King was not too much, and even a small drop of holy spring water was enough to make them scratch their heads.

Now these humans actually dare to cheat?

These old men will definitely riot and make a big fuss on the high platform!

This is a devastating blow to the majesty of the Temple of God!

And the person who took out the holy spring water... the high priest Da Xikang could not have made such a fatal mistake.It is also impossible for people to use this matter to count on themselves.

So... Could it be that he did it on purpose?

Fan Shansheng smelled a conspiracy.

Even if you don't hesitate to make such an ugly scene, do you have to deal with someone?Or even if things get serious, as long as the plan is successful, he can still restore the dignity of the Temple of the God King?

Fan Shansheng raised his head a little uneasily, and looked at the group of snakes that had begun to feel restless.

There are so many snakes, but they can't hurt them, even the priests of the Temple of the God King, it is impossible to control the scene...

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Ling Yao who was standing not far away.

Priests can't control the snakes, but a guy called "Snake Spirit Messenger" can logically do it!

If he can do it, the status and prestige of the Temple of the Divine King will be improved instead!

But if he can't do it... Shenwang Temple can completely blame Ling Yao for everything, and place a few more charges on him by the way...

——"Didn't this year's prophecy say that the so-called "disaster" and "savior" of Rukawa will be reflected? You have to be mentally prepared. If the "disaster" is not Han Hanlin, it may be me."

—— "How do you know? The prophecy of Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit is not a joke!"

——"Of course it's not a joke. But... it may not be a real 'prophecy'. In fact, you know it in your heart, no matter whether the Babel Snake Spirit can be called a real 'god', at least, He must not have You should be regarded as believers who need to respond and be blessed. Otherwise, the Temple of the King of Gods will not... Ha. And if I want to mess with them as a 'bad star', it doesn't seem to be very difficult to accept."

——"But you are also the 'Snake Spirit Messenger' they identified, how could they suddenly... Could it be that Master Tongtian Snake Spirit has noticed something?"

——"Yeah, it's the 'snake spirit messenger' they identified, not the 'snake spirit messenger' identified by the Tongtian Snake Spirit. Even if they really made a mistake in the end, it was only the fault of the Temple of God, not the Tongtian Snake Spirit And once they take back this title, I am just an ordinary person. So, if they really want to start, they will definitely make a fuss from this angle."

——"Then... If they really want to deal with you like this, what are you going to do? Apart from ice pythons, can you really control other snakes?"

——"Well... dare to come out to mess around, anyway, I have done a little experiment, although the result is not very ideal... But if they think that I can only control this ice python, they will be unlucky~"

"What's going on? How did the fog disappear so quickly?"

"Oops, the Snake Spirit adults seem to be unhappy..."

"Oh my god, they seem to be glaring at the priests! If they are not even afraid of the priests, what should we do?!"

"Fast back! Fast back!"

The scene became chaotic.

Fan Shansheng, like the other priests, clenched the magic weapon in his hand.

"Snakes... Snake spirit messengers! Quick, let them calm down!"

Finally, such a voice sounded.

Fan Shansheng looked at Ling Yao who was still meditating.

So, what are you going to do?
