Chapter XVII

When Chu Ziyan said this, Li Changning's hand holding the wine glass paused, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to check so carefully." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe things of more than 70 years ago can be turned out by you. ”

"I see, you're the same guy seventy years ago. When Chu Ziyan said this, she was also very hesitant. This matter was not told to her by the people in the Jade Residence, but from Zhou Shaoning and her grandmother, there were records of the two princes of Baiyue in the books she had read.

A person with amazing talents, however, disappeared after the destruction of the country by Baiyue. No one knows where he went, whether he was dead or alive. Even if he was alive, he should be a gray-haired old man, and it would not be such a young man in his twenties in front of him.

The fact that she can say this is also a mystery in her heart, and she vaguely feels that these two people have a relationship. However, after seeing Li Changning's smile just now, such a sentence that had not been carefully scrutinized popped up.

"You're still smart, now that you've guessed it. Then I will also say, I was indeed the second prince of Baiyue Kingdom. ”

"Then you ...... now"

"If you can be born again, I will also be a kind of rebirth. It's just a different form from you," Li Changning changed his tone and asked, "You have read so many books, you should know what kind of country Baiyue is." ”

"Baiyue is a country that advocates the afterlife, and you focus on the future life, not the present. Therefore, Baiyue, which was peaceful back then, was also a good place, and the people there should have lived well. ”

Li Changning sneered and said, "Thank you for giving Baiyue such a high evaluation, it's just a fool's skill." As long as you sit in that seat for a long time, you know how to control the thoughts of the people below. ”

"The book says that you are the last high priest of Baiyue. What does the high priest do, is he very capable?"

"Baiyue is located in Nanzhang, with many mountains and rivers, rich in all kinds of medicinal materials, but it can also get all kinds of diseases. For example, there is a disease that many people will have rashes all over their bodies in the summer, and they can't get rid of it. In severe cases, the rash spreads all over the body. People who get that kind of disease die very quickly.

That terminal illness, like a shadow, has been hanging over the commoners and the royal family for a long time. Later, a person came, he was a foreigner, and he hid in Baiyue because of the war. Then, he came up with a cure for that disease, which was to do a great ritual and then put the sick person in a jar filled with potion in the middle, and after reciting for an hour or two, he carried the person out. After a few days, King Baiyue made him the national teacher, that is, the first high priest. ”

"It seems that he still has some ability, and it was good at first, but what happened later?"

Li Changning said: "Baiyue used to be ruled by the royal family and the holy woman, and the holy woman represented the religion of the Baiyue country, had great rights, and also had great prestige among the people. It can be said that even the choice of the king of Baiyue is determined by the saint and the religion behind her. The sudden emergence of such a position is bad news for them. ”

"Oh, then I know why, King Baiyue will make that person a big official, in order to ease the relationship between the royal family and the saint. Chu Ziyan said, "What does this have to do with you now?"

"After the man solved the disease, he had the support of many civilians and officials. Gradually, it also became very powerful, enough to compete with the royal religion. Therefore, their three forces control Baiyue. Li Changning said: "And I, as a member of the royal family, have taken over the position of high priest and learned the secret art of religion. ”

When Chu Ziyan heard this, she nodded and said, "So, are you so powerful?"
