Chapter 568 Dong Lai
The God of Fire is going to become a god.
This is something that all the tribesmen of the Fire Tribe Alliance know. They spend more time in the temple, praying to the statue of the God of Fire.
If you go to some large temples, such as the temples next to the squares in various cities, you can even see witches from different tribes kneeling in front of the statue to pray.
This year, there is nothing more important than the God of Fire becoming a god. Everyone's energy and everyone's attention are here.
No matter which tribe you come from, no matter which totem you believe in now, at this moment, the statue of the God of Fire is the only destination of faith.
"The Seventh Five-Year Plan must be completed as soon as possible, and this matter will be done accordingly. Can you do it?"
Shao looked at his youngest son. His eyes were a little dazed. Since last year, he often fell into a state of forgetting the past and even forgetting his identity.
The God of Fire said that this was Alzheimer's disease, a disease caused by cerebellar atrophy.
For this reason, the God of Fire once asked the tree totem to help treat Shao, but unfortunately it was ineffective. The power of the tree totem is not omnipotent.
Zhao and Wei were standing next to Shao. When Shao asked them about it, Wei nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
This year was the first year of the preparation of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, but the plan was delayed, which was directly related to Shao's condition.
Due to physical reasons, it was difficult for him to come up with a clear idea in his mind for such a complex and huge plan, and his attention was mostly on the matter of the fifth Xuan becoming a god.
"Have all the totems set out? Don't delay the promotion of the God of Fire because they arrive late."
Shao thought for a while and asked.
This was a question that had been asked before, but Zhao still answered respectfully again: "They have all set out. After they enter the Fire City, I will ask Marshal to keep a strict watch on them and will definitely not let them cause trouble to the Fire God."
This was a plan that had been discussed before, to strictly watch over all the totems of the Fire Tribe Alliance that entered the Fire City.
The cause of this matter was that Diwu Xuan felt that when he became a god, there would be earth-shaking changes in the God's Court, and at this time, the totems would not be suitable to stay in the totems.
Diwu Xuan wanted to release the totems when he became a god, which naturally required these totems to come to the Fire City.
In order to prevent them from being plundered by their respective tribesmen, necessary supervision was indispensable.
In fact, with the military reform and household registration thirty years ago, these tribes have long been integrated into the alliance, and it is impossible to re-enact the old events of Donghai City.
But during the period when the God of Fire becomes a god, it is never too careful, so Shao gave such instructions.
"Mobilize more warriors, and find those who are close to you. No matter how big the problems in the four cities outside are, we are not afraid. The God of Fire becoming a god is the foundation, and we cannot put the cart before the horse."
This is what he said once, and Shao is getting more and more confused.
There is some worry in his eyes. His father is not suitable to be a witch in this state, but the Fire Tribe Alliance currently has no good candidates for the next generation of witches.
This matter should also be attributed to Shao. He is too planned in his work, and the people below do things mostly within his strict rules and regulations, which makes people gradually lack creativity.
However, some creative people from the lower class were not well received by Shao. This prejudice can be attributed to the assassination of the eighth generation witch.
In that incident, the leader of the Fire Tribe Alliance, who was from the lower class, left Donghai City for selfish reasons and did not provide help to Shao, which made Shao completely distrust the overall situation and sense of responsibility of the lower class.
Therefore, for the selection of the next generation of witches, Shao directly excluded those from the lower class, which greatly reduced the scope of choice. Under such circumstances, there were indeed no outstanding people among the children of the upper class.
However, Xi, who inherited Shao's wisdom, was very talented in layout and planning, and had been following Shao since adulthood, was a good candidate.
Unfortunately, neither Shao nor Xi agreed with the father-son inheritance system.
"Father, we will arrange all these things. Why don't you go home first? Mother has made your favorite honey and millet porridge."
Xi saw that this was not a solution, so he prepared to persuade Shao to leave.
In fact, Zhao and Xi have been cooperating in governing for some time. After all, Shao's condition is not suitable for this position.
"Honey and millet porridge?"
Shao's eyes lit up, he nodded, stood up, picked up the staff, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but stop: "At this time, the policy might as well be a little harsh. If there are troublemakers, they must be suppressed resolutely and killed as a warning to the hundred. Do you understand?"
"I understand, teacher." Zhao
said hurriedly.
Shao looked at his son again, and only turned away after making sure that he nodded.
Seeing Shao leave, Zhao and Wei both sighed, and then began to formulate the Seventh Five-Year Plan.
…………
Donghai City, now also jokingly called the Commercial Capital, produces a large amount of frozen fish and edible salt, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going. Its prosperity is second only to the Fire City.
What makes it truly prosperous is not only frozen fish and edible salt, but also the mermaid tribe in the East China Sea. They will take out some treasures from the sea to trade here, which makes Donghai City more and more lively.
At the East Gate, people come and go, and a team of mermaids are preparing to enter Donghai City.
There was a young man in the group of mermaids. He looked to be in his teens, with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. He looked like a member of the Fire Tribe Alliance, but I didn't know why he had such a good relationship with the mermaid tribe.
"Are you sure you're leaving here?"
the mermaid leader asked the young man.
"Of course, thank the Shell Mermaid Shaman for me. You've led the way and saved me a lot of trouble."
The young man said politely in mermaid language.
"Okay, I'll take this back. Then we won't enter the East Sea City. You should also pay attention to your own safety."
After the mermaid leader said goodbye to the young man, he turned around and went directly into the East Sea.
The young man watched the group of mermaids go away, then turned back to look at Donghai City, his eyes flashing with excitement.
This young man was Xin's youngest son Mang. After seeking the consent of Xin's mother, he crossed the East China Sea and came to the Fire Tribe Alliance.
One of the important reasons why Xin agreed to let him come was because he killed the Dragon Witch that year.
For more than 20 years, there has always been a group of people in the Dragon Tribe who have been pursuing Mang's actions that year. Even though the matter has long been determined, such voices have been heard one after another.
Some people even assassinated Mang for this, but such an act is difficult to succeed, but it has caused many conflicts between the Dragon Tribe and the Grass Tribe.
Faced with this situation, Xin, who has become a Grass Witch, finally agreed to Mang's request to go west and asked the Shell Mermaid Tribe to send him over.
Mang had invited his brother Gatus to join the Fire Tribe Alliance, but compared to this, his brother preferred to go to the jungle to hunt beasts, so this time, Mang was the only one coming to the East.
Mang took a deep breath and walked into Donghai City. According to his mother, when his father sent his mother to the East, he was staring at her in this place.
After entering Donghai City, Mang occasionally chatted with people. The Fire Tribe Alliance language here has changed a bit, with many new words and usages, and his words seemed a bit quaint.
After walking around Donghai City, he found a restaurant to have a meal, and used the pearls given to him by the Shell Mermaid Tribe as copper coins to pay for the meal, and then he began to walk through the streets and alleys of Donghai City.
The appearance of this place was completely beyond his imagination. Whether it was the neat streets or the prosperous streets, they all made him feel novel.
"Hey, where are you going? Aren't you going to the temple to worship the God of Fire today?"
Someone on the street suddenly spoke and said to several people opposite.
Mang stopped and looked over curiously.
The person who was called waved his hand and said, "Our temple is full and we can't get in. I'll go to the temple in the square to have a look."
The person who called him before immediately said, "Don't go. I just came back from there and it's full too. I'm going to leave the city and find a temple in the town to worship. Do you want to go?"
The man immediately agreed, and then the two groups of people gathered together and walked out of the city.
Mang followed curiously, because many people chose to follow them, so his following did not seem abrupt.
Some people even chatted with him, saying nothing more than that you also want to worship the God of Fire, or that the God of Fire will definitely become a god this year, which made him have a clear understanding of this matter. Following
this group of people out of the city, they soon rushed to a town. The temple here also gathered a lot of people, but there were still some vacancies, and most of them could go in.
Mang also followed in to take a look, but it was so crowded that he couldn't visit at all, so he withdrew.
"Go to the temple in the village, there are fewer people there."
Someone else gathered the people gathered here, and the crowd moved again.
Mang was very curious about the temple, so he followed into the temple in the village again, and this time he could finally see clearly.
This temple is very small, and can only accommodate about fifty people. Even the statue of Ba Xia and the thick mist on the statue are smaller than those in the previous two temples, but the appearance is still very clear.
He squeezed in and pretended to pray, and observed the statue of Ba Xia. It was indeed as his mother said, very majestic.
The thick mist on it reminded him of the mist that prevented the goddess mother from waking up, but he didn't look at it for long. His eyes quickly followed the statues of the witch and the leader and found the statue of his grandfather.
It was a statue of the eighth generation witch, and it was portrayed vividly. There was a look of kindness on his face, and he was looking forward.
"If you don't want to pray, give up your place."
Someone said from behind.
Mang didn't say much, nodded and retreated.
"Are you done praying?"
When he came out, he happened to meet the person who came with him on the road, and that person asked him.
"After praying, I want to ask, where is the Alliance Marshal now?"
Mang asked the man.
"Marshal?"
The man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I think he should be in Fire City. Now is the critical moment for the God of Fire to become a god. The Marshal should be in Fire City. Why are you asking this?"
"I just want to ask."
Mang smiled, turned around and walked out of the village, and stepped directly into the snowstorm.
After entering the snowstorm and making sure that there was no one around, Mang immediately ran at full speed, breaking through the snowstorm and moving forward, his speed was much faster than that of a war horse or a war wolf.
