Self-cultivation of dragon set

Without the halo of the god of agriculture, the priests are no different from ordinary people outside.

Bai didn't sneak into the temple alone.The aunt's family not only arranged for him to be a milkmaid, but also found an insider with a similar figure in the temple, and asked him to disguise himself as a maid and leave the temple.After the deliverers left, the guards circled the temple to make sure no one had escaped or hidden any weapons.The priests let them inspect like quails, they didn't even dare to say a word, they didn't despise the royal power like the group of people I saw in Baixa City, they could get foreign priests into their temple with a single word prestige.

Bai also lowered his head and mixed in the crowd, and waited until all the inspectors had left, then grabbed a priest beside him and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the God-favored one lives? I have something urgent to see him—"

The one who was caught by him happened to be a senior priest of bishop level. He was about five or sixty years old, and the energy in his eyes was gone. different.His words were even more frustrating: "The god of agriculture has already fallen, so how can there be any favored ones? If you want to see Lord Baldr, he is no longer a favored one, just an ordinary political prisoner... Sigh, He was imprisoned in the tower behind the temple, and if the ceremony of the New Farming Festival was not successful, he would be executed."

Who said the god of agriculture has fallen!When he died, it was obvious that the Demon Realm had settled down, and Damon couldn't die anymore. He didn't even bring his child back to life after his resurrection. Where could Hawthorne be in danger?Even if he stayed in the Demon Realm for the past few months and didn't come out, it wouldn't be possible for someone to copy his old lair, and the gods who were in charge of interpreting the God Realm and the group of servants of God became priests.

Bai hurriedly comforted him: "The god of agriculture has not fallen, so stop thinking about it, just tell me where the god's favored one is."

The old priest sighed bitterly and deeply: "I don't know why you, a woman, insist on sneaking into the temple, but since you've come in, I'll tell you the truth, which will make you die in the dark - as early as last year after the Harvest Festival." Emperor Ampere III ordered the gods to take us senior priests to use the divine power stored in the entire temple to divine the whereabouts of the god of agriculture. It turned out that he was neither in the domain of the gods nor on this continent, but with Eternal darkness and death are companions.

"So you see, the God of Saturn has really fallen. I heard that the emperor has decided to change his religion, but our country has believed in the God of Saturn for too long. Many people would rather not be converted without the protection of God, so they still need God's favored ones. Do one last show."

Let the people see with their own eyes that the gods are no longer there, and those favored by the gods have become ordinary people who will be killed.

The old priest looked at the tower so high that it almost touched the sky, and his long beard was wet with tears: "The tower that connects the sky was originally built to better accept the teachings of the God of Saturn, but now it has become a real Prison. The god-favored one is trapped in the tower, and there are soldiers below, not to mention a woman like you, even the most powerful warrior can't save him."

Bai followed his gaze and saw a tall round stone pagoda on the northwest corner of the main hall. The body of the pagoda was painted white, but the top was covered with gold leaf, and there might be some precious stones, shining brilliantly in the sun. Dazzled.Just by looking at it, it is estimated that it can be 40 meters, ten stories high, which is obviously nothing compared to those high-rise buildings in the previous life.

Well, tonight he can become Spider-Man to rescue the favored ones on the tower, which is quite romantic when you think about it.

It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, when he heard that the priests in the whole building were fast asleep, that Bai got out of bed.He combed his long hair into a Taoist-like bun and tied it tightly with a rope. He wore only a set of underwear and turned out of his room.

Originally, you should wear night clothes for working in the middle of the night, but the basic tone of this temple is white and gold, and the tower that houses the God-favored Baldr is even more pure white, only the windows and the roof are different colors. Wearing this underwear In the past, the concealment was even higher.Bai turned over from the roof, and relying on the strong inner strength of Qianxuan Da Nuo, he walked to the roof of a hall next to the high tower as if walking on flat ground.

A team of guards stood guard at the bottom of the tower, and they held high torches, which illuminated the night sky as brightly as day, and by the light of the fire he could even see clearly the windows near the top of the tower.There are also lights shaking behind the window, illuminating the delicate god statue on the glass faintly discernible.

Bai quietly took out the dagger from the space ring, tied it with a strong and thick thread made of desert earth dragon tendon, and shot it obliquely with the gesture of launching a hidden weapon.The knife was imbued with powerful internal force, and it was thrown farther than the wind magic, and it was inserted into the wall without a sound, leaving only a little bit of the handle exposed.

Bai saw where the guards were patrolling, and when their eyes left the tower, he pulled the dragon's tendons suddenly with his hand, and he heard the breeze whistling in his ears, and his whole body bounced directly onto the tower.When he was about to hit the wall head-on, Bai's left hand was full of strength and patted the wall lightly, and his right hand swung back violently, pulling out the dagger that was stuck in the wall, and then inserted it to a higher place .

In the alternation of swinging and pulling, he quickly climbed to the window of a tower building more than ten floors high, held the protruding window sill with one hand, took a deep breath, and landed firmly on the window sill.

The window was locked, and there was a layer of divine power on it, but this was nothing to Bai.When he was in school, he sneaked into Glass's dormitory every day, and he had already practiced a good skill at prying windows. Holding a dagger in his right hand, he inserted a dagger into the crack of the window and flicked it, and the thin window latch was pushed open.Grabbing the window sill and pulling it out, the window full of agricultural god images opened a gap enough for him to enter, and no one inside or outside the room was disturbed.

Bai glanced down one last time to make sure that the guards hadn't noticed his presence, so he stepped sideways into the room and locked the window.

The decoration in the room is extremely luxurious, even the carpet is wished to be inlaid with gold, and the gold is also inlaid with precious stones and magic crystals, not only shining with metallic luster, but also shining with the light of magic and divine power.The partition in the room was also made of thin and soft veils. After passing through several layers of veils, Bai saw the favored one that even the God of Saturn would praise.

The appearance of the divinely favored person was extremely dazzling under the light, and he was dazzled and infatuated for a while, unable to take his eyes off that wise head for a long time - no wonder Hawthorne praised him for being smart when he mentioned it, this man It's already really smart!

The god-favored and great priest Baldr was also looking at Bai, the intruder, with calm and deep eyes, but the light of the magic lamp was reflected on the top of his head, shining brightly: "Forgive me for not knowing you, you came to the tower in the middle of the night Is there something wrong up here?"

Bai nodded, trying to move his eyes away from his head, and introduced himself: "I am the priest of Baisa Harvest Temple, Bai Across. Maybe you still remember me, when you went to see Xia Tian, ​​you once Send someone to Baisa to pick me up."

"You..." Balder, the god-favored man with the image of a life mentor, stood up from the carpet, saluted him solemnly, and asked impatiently: "Aren't you traveling on the mainland? I heard that You traveled to follow in the footsteps of Hawthorne, and now that you are here, does it prove that Hawthorne has decided to restore the favor of the Sand Temple and Sandkang Green?"

Baldr held Bai's hand eagerly, and regarded him as the spokesperson of the God of Saturn, pouring out his troubles: "In the past six months, no matter how much I prayed, I couldn't get any response from Hawthorne. Is it because I made a mistake in interpreting the oracle? ? If this is the case, I am willing to give you the position of the great priest, and I am willing to use my body as a sacrifice to restore the gods, as long as the god of agriculture can protect this land as before!"

Bai comforted: "Hawthorne didn't abandon you. He always regarded you as the most intelligent and pleasing god-favored person, but I'm just a cook. You have to be confident. In fact, he has not been able to respond to believers these days because We are in the Demon Realm, and now that I am back, it is not far from his return."

Magic domain?What happened before his god, how could he fall into the demon realm?

Baldr's heart churned violently, wishing to force Bai to immediately explain everything that happened in the past six months.But the news of Saturn's imminent return is more important to human beings. When asked about the sky gradually turning purple, he resisted the urge to ask about the relationship between the Sun God and Saturn, and focused on the return of Saturn.

"There are still five days until the New Farming Festival. The emperor has issued an order. If the god of agriculture does not see the oracle at the ceremony of the New Farming Festival, he must convert to Faet, the God of War. Are you sure that Hawthorne will be able to do so by then?" Respond to us?"

five days?It has been three days since he was resurrected. If Hawthorne and the others rode back on a bone dragon, they would be able to make it back with five more days, but they might not be able to catch up, so there must be an alternative plan...

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Balder, his eyes were as bright as torches: "I have an idea, I wonder if you dare to do it?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you still have supernatural power? I can completely imitate Hawthorne's posture and temperament. What I lack is a little trick to enhance the atmosphere and I can be sure that I am Hawthorne's heavyweight. Dare you cooperate with me and fight for your own Will life lie to the emperor once?"

Balder stared deeply at Bai, with surprise, worry, self-blame and various more complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, and finally nodded cruelly: "I see, what are you going to do?"

"First of all, I will be the chef of this festival. Can you let the other priests in the temple cooperate with me without asking any questions?"

After even doing blasphemous things, Baldr's bottom line plummeted, so he simply signed a blank power of attorney to Bai, and let him mess around in this temple.

The first thing he did was to build an oven at the door of the kitchen, roast a whole lamb and put it in the main hall of the Saturnalia, using divine power to keep the temperature and aroma so that the Saturnalia could find out his whereabouts at any time.In the following time, he took out the main materials for preparing the disguise potion and hair dye from the pharmacy of the temple, locked himself in the room and made the face of Saturn in front of the mirror.

After so many years of fighting wits and courage with Glass, he is no longer the fairy of the reservoir. The face he created is angular, handsome and profound, almost indistinguishable from the Hawthorne in his memory.Then use honey powder to cover up the unnatural luster of the potion, stretch out the bones, change into a large high-grade silk robe, loosen the long dyed black hair, and wear golden slippers on the feet...

It's just like the god of Saturn coming to the world.

After changing his appearance, he climbed the tower at night, and asked Baldr to help him adjust his appearance; he also used true energy to transmit sound, creating a false miracle that the sound was omnipresent regardless of distance; The divine power stored in the device created the holy light effect of Saturn's descending, which was so simple and realistic that even Baldr couldn't fault it.

Time passed as the two of them conspired and rehearsed repeatedly, and the Xingeng Festival, which was about to decide the fate of Baldr and this temple of sand, finally arrived.

The whole temple was busy, maybe they wanted to fight one last time, or their pious belief made them take every sacrifice equally seriously, the priests who were still lifeless before straightened their spines again, and once again exuded The dusty temperament that a magic stick should have.The whole hall was cleaned up, and Ampere III also waited quietly in the hall with the queen, prince and ministers.

Baldr was finally released from the tower, put on the clothes of the great priest again, and calmly guided the emperor's family and ministers to salute the statue.The etiquette of these people is still the same as before, but the spirit of piously pursuing God's favor has disappeared, and there is still a person behind the line who refuses to kneel down, but stands loudly and taunts: "Let What's the point of His Majesty kneeling down to worship an empty statue? Your Excellency Baldr, can this ceremony really revive the god of agriculture..."

He dragged his voice lazily, but Balder looked at him coldly, but it turned out to be a man wearing a fiery robe and holding a scepter like a spear in his right hand. He was the great priest Wall of the Temple of War that the king wanted to convert.

They couldn't even wait for this ceremony, and they couldn't wait to come to Saturn's place to show off their might!

Balder looked at him with uncontrollable anger, but the emperor stood up from the mat without saying a word, expressing his attitude silently.Wal smiled and swayed to God, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to sarcasm him again, but he fell to his knees as if he had been smashed on his knee, and the words in his mouth were no longer sarcasm , but a short scream.

After kneeling down, his face was full of horror, every muscle was beating, and he seemed to be struggling to stand up, but he couldn't stand up anyway.Ampere III wanted to question what Baldr had done to him, but suddenly fell silent when facing Wall's frightened and struggling expression, and looked back at the statue of Hawthorne uneasily.

At this moment, a slight burnt aroma lingered in his nostrils, and he took a deep breath, the aftertaste of the burnt aroma was filled with a strong aroma of mutton.The roasted meat dripping with golden fat almost immediately took shape in his mind. The crispy skin, the soft and salty tender meat, dripping meat juices are served on a golden plate, and the meat juices will flow down the corner of his mouth after taking a bite...

He swallowed uncontrollably, completely forgot about the priest, and looked back in the direction of the fragrance—it was a petite and handsome priest who came in with a huge wooden tray in his left hand, on which lay a A whole lamb that is browned bright and shiny.

The emperor's eyes seemed to have grown feet, and he walked up to the altar with the roasted sheep, and the feet under him almost walked over. Fortunately, someone behind moved his feet first, and the crisp sound of boots hitting the ground woke him up. He didn't really lose his manners in the temple.He severely reprimanded several ministers who lost their composure, and wanted to ask what the dish was, but the priest who delivered the dish had already gone down.

But soon, he came back.

This time, what he held in his hand was a bowl of soft and white meatballs.Half of the balls are soaked in the clarified soup, dotted with a few tender green vegetable leaves, the surface is as smooth and clear as if brushed with a layer of syrup, but the aroma is light and long-lasting, not as strong as roasted lamb, but it gives people a delicate taste. To the extreme, the feeling of melting in the mouth.

Eperle III stopped him in time this time, and asked with the air of the emperor: "Why are these not traditional sacrificial dishes? Ask the chef to redo them. How can these strange dishes be dedicated to the gods!"

Take it down or let humans eat it.

Bai bowed and replied: "These are the dishes designed and participated in by the gods. If you can't worship the gods, there is nothing more worthy of the gods. Please forgive me, you have the highest honor in this country." However, when it comes to the power of the gods, it is not as good as the living gods, the most beloved gods of the god of agriculture."

I don't know if it's about him or Baldr. Even if the great priest listens without being himself, he still feels his face is burning.

Bai just calmly left the emperor and officials behind and passed on the dishes.The bottom half of the next dish is covered with a mud seal. The mud seal is wrapped with local specialties. There are leaves of amaranthus the size of the front palm of the desert earth dragon. Only a line is peeled off the top of the leaf, revealing the lightly roasted butter. Bright whole beggar chicken.

A series of delicacies that have never been seen before are in front of you, but you can see whether you can eat them. This festival, which should have made the priests anxious and painful, actually tortured the hearts and stomachs of Eperle III's family and the ministers.Priest Wall, who was forced to kneel in front of the Saturn statue, was completely forgotten. Baldr would never ask someone to help him. He just kept kneeling and said nothing, looking like the most devout Saturn. Believers.

The last dish is a plate full of grilled beef and mutton kebabs. The meat is cut small and evenly. The fat in the fat meat melts and drips down into the texture of the lean meat. The meat is also soft, tender and smooth, and it is sprinkled with common spices in the country of sand while roasting, and the aroma is more intense and attractive than roasting large pieces.

The priests and ordinary people in the main hall were all focused on the food, but Balder relaxed a little, and delivered a sacrificial speech to the god of agriculture as usual, asking him to accept the sacrifice and bless Sang Dekang as before. Temple of Emerald and Sand.

Suddenly a pale yellow light lit up in the hall, and the divine power surged out at the same time, carrying a faint coercion and a lively breath of life, which immediately frightened the emperor and ministers who were planning to change their sects, and the priests also knelt down devoutly .

The effect is really good, it seems that "Saturn" should not be dismantled immediately after playing.Priest Baldr breathed a sigh of relief, and while he was praying, he looked for Bai with his eyes. It didn't take long to find him in the temple, but he was looking at the table full of food in front of the altar, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He hurriedly accentuated the pronunciation of a few words, trying to call this god-favored person who is not doing business properly to perform, but the other party has already picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and ate it, which made Balder lose his temper.He had no choice but to quietly take two steps towards the side of the altar, turned his head and was about to speak, but his eyes met a familiar figure in the shadow of the corner of the hall—it was the Saturn he had seen in the dramas these days!

Then this one on the side of the altar...

Balder's mind exploded, and he called out "My God", and tears rolled down his eyes.His god bit the bamboo stick and nodded to him, but he immediately turned to the corner of the hall, beckoning to the other self in the shadow: "Sorry, I couldn't bring Glass back to you, he He said he would not come back until he had conquered the Demon Realm and presented the crown to you."
