Chapter 479 Just lie to yourself
With this reason, no matter who it is, they cannot disturb the high priest who is dedicated to serving the people and is now ill.
As long as there is a solution, Bai Yan did not ask any more questions. After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that she had no other instructions, he turned around and went out to spread the news.
The high priest beside the bed sobbed again: "It's all my fault. If I could have the same power as you, I wouldn't..."
The rest of the words were drowned in her crying.
...
The villages of Nanlong are all built in the same way, surrounded by towering trees, and on each tree, there are at least two snakes.
The snake pupils stare at you in the dark under the cover of leaves.
[This is much more exciting than surveillance. 】
【I don’t know if those snake keepers can understand snake language. If they can, I don’t dare to think about it. 】
Jiang Wenjing: “…”
He didn’t dare to think about it either.
After walking a few steps, he saw Bai Yan under a tree.
It was still raining at this time, and he didn’t hold an umbrella. He just stood under the tree, letting the rain slide down and wet his whole body.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
Jiang Wenjing: “???”
He was about to go over with the umbrella, but was grabbed by Jiang Zhiyu’s sleeve.
Jiang Wenjing lowered his head slightly: “?”
Jiang Zhiyu: “Wait a minute, I’m afraid he will sing.”
Jiang Wenjing frowned even tighter.
Singing?
【I’m very familiar with this pretending to be broken. 】
【Are we going to perform a walk in the rain later? 】
She just thought of this, and the next second, Bai Yan walked towards them.
Jiang Zhiyu tightened his grip on Jiang Wenjing's fingers.
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
Although he didn't know what happened, he was inexplicably nervous.
He pursed his lips.
The two watched Bai Yan approach step by step, stop, and look at him and say, "How long do you two want to see?"
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
His behavior was too normal, Jiang Zhiyu lowered his eyebrows, feeling a little guilty.
Jiang Wenjing grabbed the handle of the umbrella with his fingers. Before he could speak, Jiang Zhiyu took the initiative and said, "How can you stand under the tree on a rainy day! In this weather, the tree is the most dangerous place."
Bai Yan didn't understand what she meant by dangerous. He paused and said, "I just came back from the high priest. The high priest received an oracle before the sacrifice. The god borrowed her body and left after seeing his people. But how can a human body bear the power of the gods? So the high priest is now bedridden."
After saying that, Bai Yan blinked twice and stared at them.
What is he expecting?
[What is he expecting?]
Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu had this thought in their minds at the same time.
After waiting for a long time, the three of them were still staring at each other. Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu were still shielded by umbrellas, but Bai Yan was standing in the rain. Rain kept dripping in front of him. Bai Yan couldn't help but remind him: "The high priest is sick in bed for the people!"
Isn't it worth a compliment?
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
Hearing his implication, the two of them looked even more complicated.
After a moment, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but say: "Brother, do you think we are fools? You can fool yourself, but can you fool your brothers?"
Bai Yan: "..."
He was broken.
He snorted lightly, but the rain dripping on his face made his snort look powerless.
"Don't believe it! We Nangong people all believe it!"
Jiang Zhiyu: "... Just be happy."
He snorted again and walked away.
Before Jiang Zhiyu stretched out his umbrella, he was no longer in front of him.
[Look at this kid, he has such a bad temper.]
Not bothering with this little episode, the two of them walked towards where Xu Youran lived.
...
In the bedroom of the King of Nangong, he was admiring the string of red agates that was tributed by another country, and then he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
A young man ran in hurriedly and whispered in his ear.
After hearing what the young man said, the King of Nanlong's expression was blank for a moment. He put the red agate back into the box and covered it. He then said, "Really? Everything the high priest did today was because of the oracle?"
The young man nodded hurriedly, "Now it has spread all over the royal city, it should be true."
The King of Nanlong looked at him suspiciously, "Who spread it? Why didn't I hear any news before?"
"I don't know who spread it. It is said that God also had a temporary idea." The young man paused and said hesitantly, "But the people sent to serve the high priest said that when the high priest changed his clothes before the sacrifice, he did make a temporary modification and muttered to himself, 'They must like it.'"
The King of Nanlong was suddenly struck by lightning.
The young man even saw fear in his eyes.
Then, King Nangong hurriedly said: "Go and prepare some supplements, I will go to see the high priest in person!"
His idea of getting rid of the high priest was just an idea, and he had not yet started to implement it.
God will definitely not blame him!
But the young man did not listen to his orders to prepare, but hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the high priest said that she is now so sick that she can hardly distinguish between humans and animals, so she will not see anyone."
Cannot distinguish between humans and animals.
King Nangong murmured in his heart, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Is this a warning to him?
Anger just rose in his heart, and when he thought of God, the small flame was immediately extinguished by water.
"Then don't meet, prepare a generous gift and send it to the high priest."
The young man nodded, and the King of Nanlong asked again: "Is the banquet tonight ready? Have you invited the two envoys of Tianqi as well?"
"To reply to your Majesty, everything is ready."
The King of Nanlong nodded with satisfaction. If
he couldn't move the high priest, he could always move the two envoys of Tianqi to vent his anger.
Although they were very tough before, didn't the high priest say it? It's just a show of strength. They
really acted well!
He took a deep breath, thinking that if the two people made a fool of themselves tonight, they could also regain the face that Nanlong had lost before.
The knot in the King of Nanlong's heart suddenly loosened.
...
Even the King of Nanlong believed those words, let alone the people of Nanlong.
At one time, everyone expressed deep remorse for the dark thoughts in their hearts that day. Some even spontaneously organized a prayer activity, calling on everyone to pray for the high priest.
Jiang Zhiyu, who was watching the people of Nanlong kneeling and praying in the rain from upstairs, said: "..."
[No, do you really believe it?]
[Even if this kind of cure is cured, it will make you drool.]
Jiang Wenjing couldn't help laughing out loud.
"It makes sense for them to believe. The Nanlong people have always worshipped God. Originally, they called the high priest a shaman, which means a messenger of God. However, this title has been abolished since the last Nanlong king."
Jiang Zhiyu also knew this background introduction. The main reason was: "Without any evidence, they believed it just because someone else said it. Three people can make a tiger. It's true."
[If they believe this, then I will perform a magic trick in front of them, and they will respect me as a god! ]
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes were shining, and he was ready to go.
