Chapter 737 Officials of the Four Seasons



"Feng Zhu?" Loran Hill turned around.

"Yes, that's what mom said." Caiwei explained excitedly.

In the prehistoric era, shamans held extremely high status within tribes, sometimes even serving as clan leaders. The pinnacle of shamanism was the Four Shamans: Wind Shaman, Rain Shaman, Fire Shaman, and Mountain Shaman.

It is common for one of the Four Blessings to be born in several large tribes, and such a person does not appear in every generation. Strength, talent, and opportunity are all essential.

Later, as civilization gradually established, some countries also gave other titles, such as the God of Wind and Rain, the God of Fire and Stars, and so on, in various forms.

Later, when the Plantagenet dynasty was established, in the final court order, witches and priests were placed under the Spring Official among the Four Seasons Officials.

The Spring Official is in charge of sacrifices, rituals, ceremonies, conferring titles and official titles, and is the head of all officials.

The Xia officials were in charge of agriculture, weaving, taxation, corvee labor and other matters, and were important to the country.

The Autumn Officials are in charge of judicial, supervisory, criminal law and other matters, and are the mirror of the country.

The Winter Official was in charge of military preparations, weapon forging, training and rotation of garrisons in various places, and was the country's minions.

Finally, there are the Three Elders of Heaven who oversee all officials, and the Three Elders of Earth who convey public opinion and people's livelihood.

The "Four Seasons Officials" didn't refer to a single individual, but rather a larger group. For example, the Spring Officials had multiple agencies under their jurisdiction. Some oversaw regional shrine maiden ceremonies, others crafted dragon instruments, guided various ceremonies, and even specialized in foreign negotiations, drafting alliances and declarations of war.

Although the dynasty no longer confer titles such as Wind Master or Rain Master, if there are shamans in various places who are highly respected and virtuous, and everyone calls them that, the dynasty will not interfere too much, as long as this person belongs to the dynasty system.

However, people who can be given such a title are generally quite old, and it is very rare to find someone as young as Loran Hill.

After Loran Hill saved the people in the Sunset Mountains, countless people were grateful to him and admired him, and it soon became a trend.

Later, under Qingling's guidance, a new faith was initially established in this valley. Because Luo Lanxiel did not want to be worshipped, they adopted a more primitive and simple way, and Luo Lanxiel became the first witch of this faith.

The content of the myth also changed from her bringing down starlight to her causing the starlight to fall under the guidance of the wind, and she changed from a caster to a guide. Although this was a downgrade, it was also easier to accept.

Faith needs to remain mysterious and powerful. If this girl is Feng Zhu, then everything makes sense.

This way, there's no need to reveal the witch's identity. Luo Lanxier listened to Caiwei's explanation, thought about it for a moment, and reluctantly agreed with it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the Wind Blessing. If Loran Hill grows up completely, it will be true to call her the God of Wind.

After sorting out some things, Loran Hill stopped worrying about them and looked at Caiwei and asked.

"Why are you alone today?"

"Mom took the other priestesses to other places to set up the shrine. And now the underground dragon vein is very stable, so it's okay to leave it alone for a while, and we don't have to stay in the shrine all the time." Caiwei explained briefly.

"Then I'll leave you here alone. Are you sure the others are safe?" Loran Hill bent down and looked at the girl in front of him.

"It's okay. Actually, I'm just delivering the message. If there's really something, just find the ghost car." She said with her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Loran Hill remembered the strange black bird. She looked up and saw a large black bird standing quietly on the beam in the temple hall, like a statue, with no abnormality. As Loran Hill looked at it, it seemed to notice something and opened its eyes, revealing its dark red pupils.

When the ghost car saw the girl, it nodded its head, lowered it a little, and then closed it again, looking a bit aloof.

It possessed a high level of intelligence, similar to that of a human. Although it had submitted to Loran Hill, this did not mean it would act servilely. It would only attack when the girl clearly requested a favor. It was neither a follower nor a slave, but rather a kind of vassal.

Loran Hill naturally didn't mind this. She wouldn't even give any orders to the ghost car, as long as it abided by the agreement it made with Granny Gro.

After chatting with Caiwei for a while, Luo Lanhill prepared to walk out of the shrine to take a look. To be honest, she hadn't been out for a long time.

"Your Highness Feng Zhu, please wait a moment." Caiwei ran out again.

"What's wrong?" The girl was a little curious.

"Do you want to take a walk in the valley?" Caiwei asked a little nervously.

"Yes."

"Well...can you bring some guards with you? This...is definitely not because we are worried that you will be attacked, but because we are afraid that you will be surrounded by everyone and unable to leave..." Caiwei lived in the valley, so she naturally knew the current situation.

Given Loran Hill's personality, she probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to push away or refuse those who came forward to say hello, but if she did, she would basically be surrounded on the street, and someone else would definitely have to come out to clear the situation.

The girl listened to her explanation, smiled and nodded.

"It's hard for you to think so much, then do you have anyone to recommend?"

"Yes, yes. Uncle Yinchen has been very idle recently, so he's just the right person to do this. I'll go call him." After saying that, Caiwei skipped to a courtyard on the other side of the shrine.

Not long after, a man in a white robe and a long sword at his waist appeared in front of Loran Hill.

"Greetings, Her Highness Jialan." He bowed respectfully.

After saving the mountains at Loran Hill, he had heard countless legends about this young woman. Before leaving, Bu Moyin had hinted that this young woman was extraordinary, suggesting he could become her friend and make a living in the Sunset Mountains without being bullied.
