Chapter 155
Chapter 155
Haina belongs to the defeated god, she has been wandering in the world, looking for a chance to regain the golden tree.According to legend, the reason why the earth was cut into two sections by the mouth of the devil was also because of that battle of gods.
After the high priest had finished talking about all the gods and legends related to trees that he could think of, he was asked to drink two large jugs of wine to moisten his throat (Bai Rui & Xunhun: good drinker!), and his voice was as hoarse as ever. The teenagers in the voice-changing period are the same.
Lie Xing and Bai Rui have confirmed that Mucheng is not in the original area above the Devil's Mouth, but in the slave area.Many things that Hongzu told them were wrong, but this does not mean that Hongzu lied, the situation he knew must have been intentionally tampered with.
"When you were here last time, was anyone in pain during the sacrificial dance?" Hunting Star asked.
"I'm not sure about that." Bai Rui shook his head and looked at Morrison. He was dancing outside at the time and left after the dance. He didn't even look at the reaction of the Notori people.
"I don't know if there are people who are in pain, but there are absolutely no people who swell into giants and blow themselves up." Morrison said immediately.
"What did you think of?" Bai Rui couldn't help asking when he saw Lie Xing frowning in thought.
"Lorka is very close to the Devil's Mouth. If Wood City is really under the Devil's Mouth, and they intend to separate the two worlds, then why didn't they control this country, but here is still a blank area for the belief in Nemesis. This year The sudden addition of these losers and believers feels more like a test, or a curious inquiry into what's changed here."
"My lords, although I haven't made it clear what you are talking about, I think there is one thing that needs to be told to you. When Lord Ruoyi was here last year, some people were not there. After he came this year, some people Some people just left." The high priest really didn't know the specific situation, but he understood one thing from the conversation between the two living gods: they had an enemy, a very powerful enemy.This not only did not make the high priest feel that the worship was shattered, but also excited all kinds of things—God War!He might see God War!
"Who?" This question was asked by King Morrison, causing Bai Rui and Lie Xing, who were aroused by the high priest, to look sideways at him.
What the High Priest knew, King Morrison didn't?This is interesting.
"The hunting party of the Xieus family."
"Xieus? The one in the Colosseum?" Bai Rui was taken aback, not only him, but also Morrison and Xunxing were all scratching their heads.
"Yes. Lord Roy met today, the eldest son of the Xieus family. I didn't think about it in the past, but now I find that the traditions of the Xieus family are very strange." When the high priest said this, Morrison's expression also changed. It seemed that this also reminded him.
How strange is the Tradition of the House of Chieus?First of all, the way they choose the head of the family, generally speaking, the head of the family will be the oldest in the noble family, or the one with the most successful career.The head of the Xieus family is changed every ten years. The choice of the head of the house is strange. Maybe the previous one belongs to the grandfather's generation, and the next one is from the grandchildren's generation.The latecomers are not necessarily more capable than the predecessors, and it is not uncommon for weaker people to rise to the top.
Secondly, no one knows the origin of their slaves and beasts.As managers of the Colosseum, their family is of course famous for training beasts and gladiators. Loka's animal trainers and gladiator trainers are basically affiliated with their family.It's not that no one is better than their methods, but the "sources" of the Xieus family are really good, such as half-human and half-beast with long hair, barbarians with tattoos all over their bodies, and small and small swamp natives with strange movements.
The third strange tradition is that no one knows who the marriage partner of their family is.Often men go out hunting and bring back a woman, and this woman becomes so-and-so's wife.Or the daughter of the Xieus family suddenly disappeared, and a young man who fell in love with the girl ran to ask, only to find out that the girl had married far away.It's not that no one has fought, but those who did have disappeared.
The last one, the Chieus have never been in the army or in politics, they have been working in the Colosseum for generations.There are also people who have resisted, and those who resisted have either become like their ancestors, no longer have the mind to decide their own way out, or they have also disappeared.
"How did such a family gain your trust?" Bai Rui couldn't help looking at Morrison after hearing the high priest's words.
Morrison spread his hands: "I have never trusted them, but everything about them has been passed down from generation to generation, and their combat effectiveness is amazing. I will not touch them without absolute certainty."
"I'm going to the Colosseum." Bai Rui stood up, and after a circle, he happened to be on the head of the Xieus family. The common people in the city have all gone to demolish the Colosseum. If there is an accident, I don’t know how many people will die.
"Lord Ruoyi, there is no need to be nervous and worried. When I went to get the second jug of wine, I had already received the news that the Colosseum had been dismantled." The slaves were not allowed to listen to what they said, and the high priest wanted to speak again, so he Only King Morrison went to get the wine.Noselion has never been served by him before, so now he is taking advantage of others.
"Already dismantled? So soon?"
"Because the fierce beasts and gladiators in the Colosseum helped." When Morrison said this, his expression was not at all relaxed, and his eyes moved to Hunting Star, "Master Lien, the matter of this wooden city has now attracted attention." It has absorbed most of your attention, but I think it is better to implement the matter we agreed on as soon as possible."
"That event" was the gradual implementation of the county system, the transformation of slaves into serfs, and the reform of the military system.
As a sharp-eyed king, Lie Xing told him the benefits, but he was not so urgent.Because the country is very stable now, but if there are large-scale reforms, it will not be so peaceful. Even if there are two living gods standing behind him, turmoil is still inevitable.This will be a long period of pain that lasts for more than ten years, or even decades.
After thinking about the gains and losses, Morrison temporarily shrank, and he was even happy to see Bai Rui and Lie Xing distracted by other things.Because he is an active person, with all this time, why doesn't he expand his territory? ╮(╯▽╰)╭Let's leave the troubles to future generations.
But this time the Colosseum incident made him see more. The comfort and stability of the Roca people are only in the noble class, and the anger of the poor and slaves, and even the civilian class, which accounts for the largest number, has long been accumulated to a limit.Just like those inflated giants, they are extremely powerful in a short period of time, but if there is a strong external force for them, these people will immediately explode into a pile of blood mud.
If Loka doesn't change, even if he expands his territory to divert the pressure, he won't be able to be at ease for decades, or even more than ten years.It will be even more troublesome to rectify at that time, it is better to reform now.Maybe before he dies of old age, he can make a small breakthrough_(: 3ゝ∠)_.
"If you want to change, you have to go to war with the outside world first." Hunting Star said.
"what?"
"You have rewarded the big nobles with large tracts of land in Nottori and other places. There is no land to cultivate. After the reform, the people have no way to resettle them. What do you want to change?"
Asked by Xunxing, Morrison was not only not shocked, but became happy. ~(≧▽≦)/~So I can fight!
"..." This time the expression on his face was understood by others, this guy was indeed a tyrant.
"Xunxing, since the fight is over, can I go outside and have a look? If there are any injured, I will help."
Lie Xing looked at Bai Rui helplessly: "Be careful." He pulled Bai Rui down and kissed him, "Also take the high priest with you, you go outside and listen to him."
The high priest suddenly had an expression of dreaming with his eyes open during the day, and when Bai Rui pulled him out, his steps were floating.
***
According to the abilities of priests and witches, any witch on Devil's Mouth is stronger than the High Priest.
However, when it comes to the ability to deceive the people with deception, all witches have to bow down to the High Priest.
On the way out of the palace, the high priest came to his senses. The first thing he did was to call in two guards, six other priests, and a big sedan chair from somewhere.
This sedan chair is very similar to Huaxia's sedan chair, with a square of two meters. There is a chair in the middle of it, and linen curtains hang down on all sides of the sedan chair.
"This is the sedan chair that the stand-in priest sits on during the annual grand celebration." The high priest said with emotion, "Now this sedan chair is finally filled with the true god."
A substitute priest is a priest who dresses up as a god during the ceremony and is carried around the city.
"This kind of sedan chair can't get in many places."
"enough."
Remembering that Lie Xing said that he listened to the high priest, although Bai Rui still had doubts, he didn't say much after all, and got on the sedan chair.
When the sedan chair got up, Bai Rui realized that it was very different from Huaxia's sedan chair. The poles of the sedan chair were at the bottom, and the bearer lifted the sedan chair to his shoulders, shaking to death, making him extremely insecure.Bai Rui felt that he was a little dizzy...
After the sedan chair came out for a while, Bai Rui heard music on both sides. It turned out that the priests started playing a local ukulele.
Then the sedan chair stopped, and Bai Rui was welcomed into a small altar by the high priest.The idol in the altar has been pushed down, and the place where the original statue was is now empty.
The ground here is arranged like the palace hall that Bai Rui saw last year. There are plates on the ground, which contain fruits, barbecues and dried fruits. The high priest said that Bai Rui can wait here, and then leave two The young priest who was still playing the piano left first.
Bai Rui expressed embarrassment...
The surroundings of the small altar were also tightly covered by linen curtains, but it became more and more noisy, and Bai Rui heard someone shouting his name from time to time.
After 10 minutes, the high priest came out again and invited Bai Rui to perform a miracle.
Bai Rui opened the curtain, and there were six stretchers lined up on the ground outside, all of them were seriously injured people who were still breathing, and they all had green butterflies on their bodies, and it was because of this that they could hold their breath.Taking a glance through the perspective, these people were all sword wounds, the bones were not dislocated, and the internal organs were fine.
"Lord Ruoyi, you can stand where you are and perform miracles. If you have something to do, you can tell us to do it." The high priest stood beside Bai Rui, bowing humbly.
Bai Rui took out the Gu flute, although the people here have seen it many times, the sudden appearance of the peach blossom branch still caused a burst of exclamation.
He didn't dance, and directly played the tune of Drunken Dance Nine Heavens with the gu flute, and the gu mist came out from the tail of the flute.It wasn't as grand as Bai Rui's sacrificial dance, but it was enough to heal a few people at close range.
In ten seconds or so, the serious injuries of these people had turned into minor injuries, and the breathing of the people who looked like they were going to take their last breath at any time had become calmer.
The people who were stretching their necks and standing on tiptoes suddenly knelt on the ground when they saw such a scene.
Immediately, someone came up to carry these people away, or with more violence, directly slapped them sober and asked them to follow.At the same time, the people in the second round were brought up. There were six rounds in succession, and there were more or less people in each round. In total, he healed about 40 people.The miraculous sedan chair was carried out again, Bai Rui really didn't want to sit on it anymore, but the pretense had to last until the end, so he could only step onto the sedan chair with a calm face, and was carried back to the palace unsteadily.

"Unhappy?" Lie Xing poked Bai Rui who was lying on the bed.
"Dizzy...don't poke..." Bai Rui didn't get motion sickness or seasickness, it was the first time in his life that he knew that he was sick on the sedan chair.
"What are you doing with your head covered? Blow some wind to make it faster." Lie Xing quickly took off Bai Rui's wig.
_(: 3ゝ∠)_My dear, you are so cruel, ying ying ying.
After noon, dizzy, the stars seize the hair, compete with them, and lose.
After Bai Rui's wig was taken away, such a thing suddenly flashed in his head, and he didn't know how the descendants would translate it thousands of years later if he really wrote it down. In the end, he lay on the bed stupidly and laughed.It frightened Lie Xing, so he quickly returned the wig to him.
"I'm not kidding you anymore, it's so uncomfortable."
Bai Rui covered his head with the wig, and hugged Lie Xing: "I've been wearing the wig since I made it. You're not used to me wearing a wig."
"Why are you so obsessed with wearing a wig?"
"Because it's ugly to be bald."
"But I think it looks good with a bald head."
"..." Bai Rui's face suddenly looked hopeless.
_(: 3ゝ∠)_What should I do if my dear love is bald and swollen?Urgent, wait online!
Shouldn't you be a master in the first place?But the master is t and dps, the dad really can't practice it.
