Chapter 148
Chapter 148
"The question you asked just now, I can understand that you want to see me dance there?" With a kiss to explain, Bai Rui asked in Xunxing's ear.
"Understanding is correct, and your Gu Mist can also identify whether there are other people in this city who are controlled by that kind of black mist."
"I'm going." Bai Rui sipped on Xunxing's lips again, then turned and walked towards the altar.Jinjiaoyinjiao, Bailong and Xiaoqing felt Bai Rui's call, and they had already been guarding the altar in four directions, ten pairs of five poisons each, and the Gu worm companions who followed the worm warrior also lined up beside the altar .
Bai Rui walked over empty-handed, but when he stood in the center of the altar, there was an extra flower branch in his hand.
Some people saw this scene last year, and more people saw it for the first time.There was a sound of exclamation, and the petals that I thought had been thrown away a long time ago flew out from the hands of more people and fell into the altar.
The flute sounded, Bai Rui leaned back, raised his left leg and raised it higher and higher, Bai Rui nodded and pressed against the right foot supporting his body, and his whole body became a word 1.Just when everyone thought this was the limit, Bai Rui's right leg stepped on the ground also lifted up...
With neither leg touching the ground, does he land on his face? ! Σ(°△°|||) Of course not, Bai Rui's two legs slowly moved together, he raised his head, and his whole body was still leaning back, as if a stick was pressed against his waist, allowing him to rotate smoothly Made a 360 degree circle, but no stick!So he is floating? !
After Lorca's big victory, more and more people poured into Lorca.Some of them are businessmen who want to come here to find business opportunities, some are spies sent by various countries, and some are people who themselves or their family members are troubled by illness.No matter what the reason for coming here is, they all doubted and asked—is there really a living god in this world?Are there really gods who use poisonous snakes and insects as their envoys?The power of that god...is it really that strong?
Seeing Xiaoqing, the golden horned silver horned white dragon, and those giant accompanying snakes and insects, they only believed [-]% of them, and it's not that characters who can drive huge strange beasts have never appeared before.But when they saw Bai Rui floating in mid-air, their jaws dropped.The sky, apart from the birds, is the realm of the gods.
A long howl they had never heard before sounded, black shadows covered the sky, and people looked up and saw a terrifying giant shadow, but at this time, only a few people screamed and ran away.More people just knelt on the ground, praying constantly.Sure enough, the dragon fell down, the white dragon and the golden horn moved each, and it landed on the spot they had vacated.
All this did not bother Bai Rui, he was still dancing, Xiaoqing climbed into the middle of the altar, Bai Rui stepped on its head, when Xiaoqing raised his head, Bai Rui jumped high from its head Get up and gently land on the top of Bailong's head.Taking these terrible poisons as the stage, he leaped and danced happily on them.
The Gu mist began to dissipate, and someone suddenly exclaimed: "What a beautiful wine fragrance!"
Someone reprimanded the person who disturbed the dance of the gods, but the taste of this wine is too sweet!
If you are a big guy from Northeast China, you will definitely say that this wine tastes not authentic, sweet and sissy, in fact, Bai Rui felt the same way when he first danced drunk for nine days in Mao _(: 3ゝ∠)_.
But at this time, people love wine, but the craftsmanship is still not up to the requirements, the taste of wine will not be too pure, now with the smell of wine floating in the gu fog, it has a floral fragrance, sweet and mellow, it is the best wine now It is also incomparable.
"I can see!!!" A girl shouted, and a chubby couple next to her pulled their daughter to the ground after being surprised.
Many of these three people knew each other. They were nobles from a foreign country. The girl's eyes were burned by fire when she was young.King Morrison also used butterflies to treat her illness, but it didn't work. They had to leave regretfully, because they stayed for a while because they heard that the true god was coming.However, the family no longer had any hope, and stayed here not so much to find Bai Rui's will, but to satisfy a little curiosity.
At this moment, they are extremely grateful for their original decision.
More people reveled, but there were also discordant voices, or screams.
But the screaming ones were what Bai Rui and the others needed. Some worm soldiers entered the crowd and dragged the screaming people out.They were accompanied by Morrison's guards, and when asked, they said that these people were also being treated by Gu Wu, and the temporary pain would soon disappear, and the purpose of dragging them out was to prevent them from falling to the ground and being trampled on.
Coincidentally, the people who were dragged out were all alone.The inquiring person is now at the highest point of admiration and awe for Bai Rui and Morrison.All the attention is focused on cheering and praying, and it is already a good friendship to be able to allocate energy to ask a question, so why would they think about whether there are loopholes in what these people said.
The Gu Mist became thicker and thicker, like a purple veil, covering the surroundings into a charming fairyland.More and more people are intoxicated by the smog and the sweet aroma of wine, in a trance and insane...
When people woke up, they found that there were no people in the altar. Morrison's guards, the giant snake angels, and the living gods themselves were no longer here.People let out a sigh at first, but soon became excited again, they cheered and screamed loudly, as if the petals that could never be thrown appeared again.No one wanted to go home, whether it was the natives of Notori, businessmen, medical seekers, or even spies, who seemed to have forgotten everything at this time.
The crowd sang and danced around the street to celebrate. A few people who had not gone out before felt the miracle and walked out of their homes at this time to keep up with the team.The nobles ordered their servants to take out fine wine, fresh fruit and bread (leaf bread?) to share with everyone, and the poor also picked a lot of flowers to share with others.
When they saw King Morrison appearing on the second floor of the palace, the cheers could lift the sky off.
The female slave next to King Morrison held a golden copper plate full of sesame oil, and King Morrison poured the sesame oil on the crowd.
Bai Rui is in the hall of the palace. Now there are no animal skins and cushions here. This is the first time Bai Rui saw the floor here. It turned out to be a mosaic floor made of small pieces of colored marble. The mosaic pattern is exactly a huge Snake, Bai Rui thinks it was probably newly replaced last year.
Those who were dragged away are all here now, and [-]% of them have been relieved from the pain, sitting on the ground covered in sweat and moaning.But there were still a dozen or so people still convulsing and howling in pain.
The priests were questioning those who were under control one by one, and most of them didn't know that they had that kind of thing in their heads.
"I... I was very irritable and irritable for a while." A tall and handsome young man with a depressed face suddenly said, "I couldn't control myself at all, and my wife left me because of this."
What he said reminded many people: "Me too!"
At the beginning, the priests continued to listen with an attitude of being good at nothing, because this was the first task given to them by the living god, and it would be too tragic if there was no result.But the grumpy thing... Who hasn't lost control once in a while?But as I continued to question, the feeling that something was wrong became more and more obvious.
These people who were manipulated were once the favorites of heaven, but now they are all rebellious, impoverished, and even a few are about to sell themselves into slavery.
What did they do to get to this point?The more I think about it, the more these people feel that those who did those things in the past were not themselves at all, it was just a joke!
In addition, three of these people are the noble children of Nottori. The three of them are still good friends. If you exercise when you need to, and do things when you should, then you'll be fine.But it would be shameful to spend all your time drinking and ass.
The three of them now also looked like they had just woken up from a big dream. They didn't know why they ignored the persuasion and even warnings of their elders, and spent all day hanging out with male and female slaves who had been played to death in the lowest female branch.
The high priest's face became extremely ugly, and he was muttering about evil spirits, so he hurried to find Bai Rui and Lie Xing.
After listening to the high priest, Bai Rui and Lie Xing looked at each other: "Only three people belong to Notori? Then how did the others get here?"
"Those people are mostly hired warriors to protect the caravans and the nobles who came to treat the sick."
Bai Rui asked: "Do they remember the last thing they did before they lost control?"
"I don't remember, it's been too long."
Lie Xing suddenly asked: "These three people, who is the person who has the greatest hatred against them?"
"You think this might be revenge?" Bai Rui was startled.
"Well, if those people were really outstanding people as they said, then relatively, they are also people who are easily hated."
The high priest prostrated himself on the ground guiltily and said, "My lord is right, it's just...it's just that I don't know those young people very well."
Before the next generation of Lorca nobles emerged, it was their fathers and even grandfathers who had contacts with the high priests.
"So, who is the one who hates King Morrison the most?" Hunting Star asked again.
"This..." This time, the high priest only hesitated for a while before answering straightforwardly, "Princess Fuya."
He served a god, and after the appearance of the living god, even King Morrison had to step aside, so the high priest had no pressure to offend the princess.
"I'm going to find Morrison." Hunting Star stood up, "Will you go with me?"
"No, I still have something I want to ask the high priest." Bai Rui shook his paw, and the high priest who heard what Bai Rui said was so happy that he was about to cry, no, he was already crying.
_(: 3ゝ∠)_But can you wipe your nose?Mist! ! !It's rubbing, not licking!
It turned out that the middle-aged uncle who looked at the high priest was very noble, handsome, and deep, but now he has lost his image.
"High Priest, do you still remember what you said last year, that I am the disaster you prophesied?"
"Lord Ruoyi, please forgive me for what I did at that time..." Suddenly, the high priest's snot flowed out again in fright.
"Don't be so excited, I mean, you can prophesy?"
"..."
After licking the snot clean, the High Priest became shy again.
_(: 3ゝ∠)_I just left for half a year, and you didn’t see Erha at that time, why is it like this now?
"how?"
"My lord, I don't know how to predict. As far as I know, no priest can really predict. I called you a disaster at the time, because everyone thought there would be a disaster. At that time, a vision appeared on your body , and staying at the house of Fabia, who has lost power, is just right for peace of mind."
It turns out that this is not a prophecy but a reasoning.This made Bai Rui both relaxed and disappointed.
"How many priests are there in the temple of Notori, I mean plus the most common apprentices?"
"In the temple of Nottori, I am the high priest, and there are twelve qualified priests under me, and each priest has three to six apprentices. There are 63 people in total. Besides us, there are about 130 people eunuchs."
"Slave?"
"Yes, they have been cut off their offspring's sacks. The youngest is eight years old, and the oldest is 21 years old. They are the purest youths who only contribute to God."
"..." Bai Rui really didn't want to understand the hint in this guy's eyes, "What kind of writing do you have here?"
"We have about two hundred characters!" The high priest immediately became excited, and took out a scroll from under his robe—I didn't expect that he still carried it with him. After opening the scroll, there were Lorca characters one by one.
Two hundred words?What can I do?But if it's two hundred letters, it's definitely enough.
But after the high priest explained the words, Bai Rui knew that they were indeed words, not letters.Their characters are still pictographs, each character is as big as a fist, each character has a special pronunciation, and it represents many, many meanings.If the records are written in this kind of language, probably only the first few generations can correctly interpret the meaning of these words, and the people behind will be more or less biased.
Looking at these ancient characters, Bai Rui hesitated whether to teach them Chinese characters.
Writing is also a kind of civilization. Using Chinese characters to replace the current indigenous writing and cutting off this kind of writing means the cutting off of civilization in a certain sense.
Then use these two hundred characters as the basis to create another kind of writing?Bai Rui gestured at the edge of those words, the high priest who was excitedly explaining the meaning of the words just now dared not show his air.
"Do you think you have the ability to create more words from these words?"
"No, that's the domain of God."
"God's domain? Are these words also taught to you by God?"
"These words..." The high priest really didn't think about where the earliest words came from. He was stunned by this question for a while and shook his head again. "Even if words are not miracles, I can't create words." .”
When the high priest said that, Bai Rui even saw fear on his face.He is like a domestic animal kept in a cage, he can only move within that range, and he doesn't even have the courage to step out.
Morrison is a powerful king, and he has many capable people under him. In comparison, this high priest disappointed Bai Rui a bit.But it is also understandable, if the high priest is capable enough, Morrison will not let him sit in that seat for so long.
Bai Rui thinks that we should ask Morrison about writing later, maybe he can recommend someone who can improve and create writing.What Bai Rui and Lie Xing discussed before was to use the priests to open schools to teach characters and the most common mathematics. Now it seems that this matter has to be postponed temporarily.
"How is Perot doing?"
"He was sent by His Majesty to Moluosun City, which is our newly expanded territory. Those who can be sent to the new territory are all people who have gained the great trust of King Morrison."
All sent to the new territory?Not necessarily.Even if Bai Rui lacks political thinking, he also understands that things cannot be generalized.The high priest didn't say what the specific Morosun City was like, but kept expressing his trust... It seems that Pero is still not doing well.
"It's good to know he's fine." But it's good to be alive, Bai Rui just casually asked acquaintances, and didn't show much concern.He looked at the door, logically speaking, Xunxing should come back, right?How come it took so long?
"Bang!", the door opened, but a young priest hurried in.
"Master Ruoyi, High Priest! There are a few people in the wrong situation!"
What is wrong is the person who is still howling after everyone else has stopped the pain.
Compared with those people who were poorly dressed in rags, these people were obviously dressed much better, and they were also wearing valuable jewelry.
While the others were telling what had happened to them, suddenly one of them howled like a beast and stood up.At first, everyone thought he was in pain, but the guards and those who had already told about their situation immediately went up to suppress him.Who knew that this fat man who was originally full of fat was so strong that he threw the person who pounced on him in two or three strokes.
When Bai Rui and the others went in, they happened to see a person who was thrown out, that fat man was no longer fat, he looked like a bleached Hulk.More people in a similar situation to him are getting up from the ground.
All the priests in the hall ran out, but none of the remaining people ran away. The guards and those frustrated people who were awake were bravely facing the enemy with shields and spears.
