Ji Buyun, who was preparing to greet Ji Heng in the barracks, sneezed twice at this time, and thought to himself: Who is talking about me behind my back?

He looked up in the direction of the priest's courtyard, and there was a faint flash of divine light on the five spiritual energy peaks suspended between heaven and earth.

With a unique rhythm, the divine light makes these five spiritual energy peaks self-contained between heaven and earth, noble and elegant, and extremely sacred.

In front of the priest's courtyard, the priest of Jinghu and Nan Wan'er took more than a dozen small priests to greet Tuoba Shuang and his party.

After the two sides exchanged greetings in accordance with the highland etiquette, the priest of Jinghu first apologized to Tuoba Shuang on behalf of the high priest and said: "The high priest is practicing and cannot welcome the eldest princess in person, I hope the eldest princess will forgive me." ”

Tuoba Shuang knew that the priest of Jinghu was speaking politely, even if the leader of the Nine Tribes of the Prairie came in person, as the high priest, he would not personally greet him, and she also saluted: "The priest is too polite, I came to visit the Haotian Temple in my personal capacity, how dare I bother the high priest." ”

Looking at Nan Wan'er, who looked unhappy, Tu Qiling said to the Jinghu priest with a smug face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, priest, His Highness the God of War ordered me to accompany the eldest princess and aunt, I don't dare to disobey." ”

The priest of Jinghu didn't know about the festival between Nan Wan'er and Tu Qiling, and she said with a smile: "The little princess is welcome to the priest's courtyard in person. ”

Nan Wan'er snorted heavily, held Tuoba Shuang's arm, and said, "Sister Eldest Princess, let's go to visit the Haotian Temple first, and then accompany you to visit the priest's courtyard, is it okay?"

Tuoba Shuang smiled and said, "Whatever the guest is, Wan'er, you are now half the master of the priesthood, listen to you." ”

The priest of Jinghu said: "The eldest princess doesn't know, the ninth princess and the high priest are like sisters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the masters of the priesthood. ”

Nan Wan'er said: "Don't dare, people are the same as the eldest princess sister, and they are also guests of your priest's house, but if you stay for a longer time, you will be caught as a companion, or not, you can't live in your place for nothing, and in the future, when a distinguished guest of the eldest princess sister comes, they will be responsible for receiving them." ”

The words were full of ridicule and ridicule, and Tu Cailing didn't say anything, and looked at the priest's courtyard with peaks and flowers.

After some humility, the priest of Jinghu led in front, and the group came to the Haotian Temple.

In front of the Haotian Temple, Tuoba Shuang and Tuqiling were completely shocked by the majesty and grandeur of the temple, and the temple itself built entirely of black marble had endless solemnity and solemnity, coupled with the backdrop of the five hanging peaks, it completely gave people the illusion that it was beyond human power.

Stepping on the one hundred and twenty-one wide steps carved out of the mountain, Tuoba Shuang looked at the three arched doors with petal-shaped cornices nine zhang high and six zhang wide and sighed: "The abode of the gods is nothing more than that. ”

The priest of Jinghu said piously: "Haotian blesses the world and has boundless power, otherwise, it is not enough to express our highlanders' admiration for God. ”

Tuoba Shuang solemnly replied yes.

Entering the temple, Tuoba Shuang and others bowed respectfully to the god Haotian on the sacrificial platform in line with their respective identities, and in front of the majestic and solemn statue, they sincerely felt their insignificance, so that they were more in awe of the god.

In the process of their worship, Nan Wan'er stood aside, and did not salute Haotian, and the priests of Jinghu did not care, she was an elf princess, from the garden of the gods, Tongtianyuan, and some had the opportunity to see Haotian in person, whether to visit or not was her personal matter, and the highlanders could not care.

After paying homage to the statue of Haotian, Tuoba Shuang, Tuqi Ling and others respectfully bowed to the statue of the ancestral dragon, and they bowed three times and nine bows to Haotian, and the worship of the ancestral dragon, they turned out to be nine bows and twenty-seven bows, this time, Nan Wan'er actually followed Tuoba Shuang and Tuqi Ling together, and respectfully knelt and bowed.

After the aura seal was lifted, the world re-entered the world of spells, and the Jinghu priest had also heard a little about the relationship between the ancestral dragon and Haotian, but the highlanders had always believed in Haotian, according to the high priest's explanation, this belief came from the ancestors' lineage, and it had no necessary relationship with whether he was the creator god or not.

After visiting the Haotian Temple, the priest of Jinghu and Nan Wan'er took them to visit the priest's courtyard, and in the pink palace, the high priest, accompanied by the priest of the wine, was waiting to meet them.

After a while, Ji Buyun was just about to take the Nine Brothers to the Luoshen River to greet Ji Heng, Ji Meng walked in, he had the identity of the Praetorian Guard, and Ji Buyun's personal guards knew him.

Ji Meng informed him that Ji Heng had come to the front of the barracks of the priest's court, and Ji Buyun hurriedly greeted him.

After exchanging greetings, Ji Buyun let Ji Heng into the barracks tent and asked, "Master, why did you come so early?"

Ji Heng said: "I'm idle, I'm idle, I want to come and see your rune weapon battalion." ”

He has been in the army for a long time, and he must be full of interest in the new type of weapons and battle arrays of rune weapons, but he is self-respecting, and he can't ask his apprentice to come to the scene to visit, this time he has the opportunity to come to the barracks to accept the banquet of the high priest, so he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to visit.

Ji Buyun would not refuse his master's request at all, and at the same time, he wanted to know Ji Heng's specific views on the rune weapon battalion as the first person on the battlefield in the past three hundred years.

He took the Nine Clan brothers to accompany Ji Heng to the rune weapon camp school, where Ao Xian was supervising the four hundred Praetorian Guards led by Qi Yue and Ling to drill the battle formation, and when he saw Ji Heng coming, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I have seen His Highness the God of War." ”

The two met through Ji Buyun before Ji Heng's identity was revealed, and the bachelor Ao Xian asked Ji Heng for advice on the art of war and battle formations, and he didn't eat and drink less, and he had sincere respect for Ji Heng.

Ji Heng waved his hand in return, and focused on the training of the Rune Weapon Battalion.

The Praetorian Guards are practicing the attack formation, and a team of 400 Janissaries and 50 is forming five squares, each with ten columns horizontally and eight columns vertically, one square team rushing forward, two squares on the side, and the other two teams forming a deep protection in the rear.

When attacking forward, the front three teams throw javelins across the board, and the two teams behind them pull out the formation appropriately to prevent flank cuts and back-up attacks.

Ji Heng looked at it for a while, and said unceremoniously to Ao Xian: "There is a big problem with this battle formation. ”

Ji Heng's understanding of the battle array is far above everyone, Ao Xian threw himself to the ground for the five bodies he had always admired, and when he heard Ji Heng say that there was a problem with the battle array, he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness the battle array, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

Ji Heng said: "The power of rune weapons is huge, and they must be used intensively in battle, maximizing their power, in order to form a breakthrough in the center of the enemy formation or sweep the two wings, and now you form a separate battle formation with very few weapons, and the power is greatly reduced, I only need to let the battle formation facing the rune weapons gradually retreat, open the distance, and concentrate forces to attack other directions to be invincible, of course, how to carry out battlefield scheduling is also a very difficult thing." ”

The connoisseur made a move, waking up the dreamer with a word, Ao Xian respectfully saluted Ji Heng and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Ji Heng smiled: "You're welcome, this is just my personal opinion." ”

Ao Xian said: "We are shallow in knowledge and narrow in vision, and I hope that His Highness will continue to advise." ”

Ji Heng said: "You change the rune weapon battalion horizontally into five teams, so that everyone has a chance to shoot, open up the attack area in the center, hand over the flanks and rear cover to ordinary soldiers, when attacking, the rune weapon battalion moves forward with all its might, and the others cut in along the gap they opened, these four hundred people with three thousand ordinary soldiers can defeat two standing army legions." ”

Ao Xian pondered for a while, and finally figured out this truth, and said happily: "Yes, yes, I figured it out, Your Highness, see if this is the case." ”

After speaking, he pulled out the saber at his waist regardless of it, and drew a battlefield situation map on the ground with the saber, using a solid line to represent the runic weapon battalion, a dotted line to represent the auxiliary Praetorian Guard, and a square to represent the standing army corps on the opposite side.

Ji Heng looked at the battlefield situation map he had drawn, and pointed: "The auxiliary Praetorian Guards on both sides are more concentrated, using the shields of runic weapons as cover, and when they break through, they must be quickly deployed, cut horizontally as much as possible, and disrupt the spear array, and the Praetorian Guards who serve as guards and flank cover are mainly guarded against the light infantry and cavalry on the opposite side, and must be equipped with shields and bows and arrows." ”

Ao Xian modified a few more places according to his instructions, and Ji Heng nodded and said, "Open the battlefield, so you will win." ”

Ao Xian couldn't hide his excitement, and saluted Ji Heng respectfully, and said: "Your Highness has seen it, I can't wait for it, thank you Your Highness for your advice." ”

Ji Heng said with a smile: "The soldiers are impermanent, this is just the layout of the open battlefield, the mountains, passes, the terrain is different, and the formation method is not the same, you still have to ponder more." ”

Ao Xian said: "Follow the teachings of His Highness. ”

Ji Heng said: "Also, you don't have many rune weapons in your hand, you must use them carefully, you must wait for the opponent's main force to concentrate, you can break it in one fell swoop, so that you can do it once and for all, and you must not attack rashly." ”

Ao Xian said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness's words, I must keep it in mind." ”

The priest of Jinghu came to the high priest's pink palace with Tuoba Shuang and Tuqi Ling, and introduced to the guests: "This palace is called the Flower God Palace, and the highlanders are commonly known as the Pink Palace, and it is the place where the high priest handles daily affairs. ”

The pink palace hidden in the sea of flowers has no reliefs used by the highlanders to decorate important buildings, and many wind chimes hang under the cornices, and there is just a breeze blowing, like a ring.

In the flower pavilion at the door, the priest of Woyue stood there with a few small priests, and when they saw the priest of Jinghu coming with guests, they were busy bowing and saluting.

The priest of the palm wine walked out of the palace when she heard the sound, she had a relationship with Tuoba Shuang, and after the two sides exchanged greetings, the priest of the palm wine said to Tuoba Shuang: "The high priest has just finished his practice and is dealing with daily affairs in the palace, the eldest princess, please move." ”

Tuoba Shuang understood that this was completely polite, and said politely: "I rushed in, I don't know if it disturbed the practice of the High Priest?"

The priest said, "No, please." ”

As he spoke, he let Tuoba Frost and Tuqi Ling into the Pink Palace.

Tuoba Shuang and Tu Qiling were the first time they saw the high priest who was known as the first beauty in the highlands, and when the high priest dressed in white stood up from the diffuse fragrance of flowers, the purple and red in the room instantly lost its color.

As women, Tuoba Shuang and Tuqiling have to admit that the beauty of the high priest has reached the extreme, with long black hair hanging down to the waist, every inch of the body is just right, the skin is like condensation, the eyes are bright, and there is a faint pearl flow in the shallow smile, like a white lotus flower in full bloom, such a beauty, just one glance, can make people never forget.

Completely stunned by the beauty of the High Priestess, Tuqi Ling couldn't help but open his mouth and mutter, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful." ”

The high priest was used to seeing this, Nan Wan'er jumped to the high priest's side, and proudly introduced to Tuoba Shuang: "Sister eldest princess, this is the high priest's sister of the family, isn't she very beautiful?"

Tuoba Shuangxin said: It is very beautiful there, it is simply too beautiful to be beautiful, such a beauty is beyond the scope of imagination.

The high priest greeted Tuoba Shuang with the daily meeting etiquette of the highlanders, "Haotian God bless you, eldest princess. ”

Tuoba Shuang recovered from the shock of witnessing the high priest, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Haotian God bless you, High Priest. ”

Tuqi Ling, who had returned to God, also hurriedly greeted the high priest: "Haotian God bless you, High Priest, I am Tuqi Ling of the Nine Divisions of the Prairie. ”

The high priest smiled and saluted, "Haotian God bless you, little princess, I have heard the name for a long time. ”

"Dare to ask the High Priestess, how do you know about me?"

The high priest smiled again, Tuoba Shuang and Tuqiling couldn't help but indulge in her peerless appearance even though they were both women, and she said, "Every time Wan'er goes to Haotian City, she will talk to me about you when she comes back. ”

Nan Wan'er and Tu Qiling snorted in unison when they heard this, but Nan Wan'er hummed louder, and Tu Qiling's voice was quieter.

After the little priest served tea, Jinghu, the priest of Zhangjiu and others withdrew from the palace, and only the high priest, Nan Wan'er, Tuoba Shuang, and Tuqiling were left in the room.

The high priest stood up and bowed to Tuoba Shuang, and said, "I'm sorry, eldest princess, I should go to greet you in person, but my status is limited. ”

This sentence is only half said, but Tuoba Shuang understands that according to etiquette, the high priest should treat her as an elder like Ji Buyun, but the high priest is noble, and there are strict restrictions on every word and deed, and it cannot be confined to ordinary etiquette.

She smiled and said, "Your Excellency the High Priest is polite, I am here to worship the Haotian Temple in my personal capacity, how dare I bother the High Priest." ”

The high priest said: "Eldest princess, there are no outsiders here, we don't have to be polite, you can call me with the God of War Master." ”

Nan Wan'er interjected: "People call Sister Duo'er, Sister Eldest Princess, you can just call Duo'er." ”

Tuoba Shuang glanced at Nan Wan'er, and couldn't help but smile: "Wan'er, I finally know now why you, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, are so honest in front of Ji Buyun." ”

Bing Xue's smart Nan Wan'er glanced at the high priest, sighed and said: "Sister eldest princess, it's not okay to be honest, the wife Haotian chose for the little brother is so beautiful, even if she gathers all the beauties of Tongtianyuan together, she can't catch up with half of her, if people are not honest, the little brother is not even in the mood to look at others." ”

This sentence is extremely clever, not only praising the beauty of the high priest, but also expressing that her status as a young wife has been recognized by the high priest.

The high priest gently took Nan Wan'er's hand, patted it softly, and said, "Wan'er, don't scream, let the elders laugh." ”

This sentence strategically reveals that Nan Wan'er should regard Tuoba Shuang as an elder like herself, which confirms Nan Wan'er's words just now.

Nan Wan'er pouted and said, "Sister Duo'er, people still think it's appropriate to call Sister Eldest Princess, after all, she hasn't married the God of War Master yet." ”

Tuoba Shuang glanced at her and said, "Duo'er, I heard Ji Heng say that your wedding, he will attend as the father of the Ji Buyun clan." ”

Nan Wan'er hurriedly said: "Aunt Eldest Princess, Master of the God of War, people are wrong, people are wrong, please don't be like others." ”

The high priest smiled and said: "Ji Buyun was cultivated by the God of War Master, and he is a blood relative within three generations, his prestige is resounding all over the world, and it is our honor to attend our wedding as a father." ”

Tuoba Shuang said disdainfully: "What kind of prestige resounded all over the world, it's just a trick. ”

The high priest had heard Ji Buyun say that Ji Heng had repeatedly defeated Tuoba Shuang on the battlefield, and he also knew that Tuoba Shuang had always been not very convinced by the God of War, she chuckled: "Master God of War treats Ji Buyun with high ground, in this life Ji Buyun and I must treat him with the courtesy of our fathers, Master God of War once swore to the heavens, in this life, you will not marry, we will treat you with the same courtesy of elders, and we will not be able to participate in the affairs between your elders." ”

The high priest directly recognized Tuoba Shuang's status as a teacher.

Tuoba Shuang smiled: "He is not like it, whether it is a battlefield or a duel, he has not let me win once, after the seven battles of the grassland, I secretly found him, and fought with him for seven days and seven nights, anyway, he was reluctant to hurt me, I chased him to fight, and finally he had no choice but to swear to the sky, I will not marry in this life, I happily waited for him to marry me on the bank of the Nuomin River, but he disappeared after swearing, I looked for him for 20 years to know, it turned out that he ran to the highlanders to train a husband for you, and it is said that your husband and wife owe me 20 years. ”

As soon as the words fell, the four of them laughed together.

This Tuoba Shuang is not only the only candidate for the recognized leader of the Nine Tribes of the Prairie, but his words are also quite good, and a simple sentence can not bring the relationship between the high priest and her two closer.

If she continues, the high priest should take up the tea and respectfully salute her as a lady.

Turk Knight interjected, "High Priestess, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

The high priest said: "Little princess, now is a private occasion, you can call me sister, whatever you want to ask, I know everything." ”

Tu Qiling said: "This question is very presumptuous, if my sister feels rude, she can not answer, I have seen Ji Gongzi's ability, almost magical, many people say that his spell was passed on to him by his sister, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Tu Cai Ling praised Ji Buyun so much in front of the high priest, Rao was as quiet as the high priest, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he had gone to the vast mountains to find him in the vast mountains regardless of his identity and danger and was rescued by him and went to the secret realm together, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "Fake, the spells of the highlanders can only be practiced by women, Ji Buyun has his own teacher, his cultivation is much higher than mine, I have been in danger twice recently, and he saved me desperately." ”

The lover is so affectionate and righteous, and the words of the high priest are quite colorful.

Tuoba Shuang looked at the decaying creation flower on the table and said: "Duo'er, don't say that I am disrespectful to the old, I also gossiped once, I heard that your marriage came from this pot of flowers?"

When the Creation Flower was not opened, it was originally a secret of the Highlanders, but now, the High Priest wanted everyone to know the secret it represented, she said: "Yes, this Creation Flower is a token given to us by Haotian to the High Priest of the Highlands, and this is the first time in three hundred years that it has opened. ”

"Is there any secret here?"

The high priest said, "Yes." ”
