Chapter 989: The Race Favored by the Heavens

"That, High Priest, with all due respect, I really don't know much about you, I've just heard from other people, Ah Lang, they all worship you, and say that you are the wisest person in the whole village, and I actually think so too!" Hong Xiao replied.

Aside from the word wisdom, Hong Xiao didn't know how to describe the high priest!

This is a very difficult question, Hong Xiao said this, sincerely, but also a perfunctory answer.

But Hong Xiao really can't think of other adjectives, he can't say that the chief priest is handsome, then there are some too fake!

Hearing Hong Xiao's answer, a smile appeared on the high priest's somewhat shriveled face.

"Perhaps, in my life, everyone has been evaluated so uniformly and wisely, is there no other word to describe me except this word?"

The high priest seemed to be asking Hong Xiao, and he seemed to be asking himself.

Hong Xiao felt that the high priest was a little strange, so he didn't answer.

The high priest smiled when he saw that Hong Xiao did not speak.

"Hong Xiao, you are really a smart young man, I haven't seen such a talented young man as you for a long time, this time I can see it, and you have become a friend of Miao Village, I am very happy."

"High Priestess, you've won the prize!"

Hong Xiao didn't expect the high priest to say this, and he was suddenly a little flattered.

Although Hong Xiao also thinks that he is very smart, he still feels very happy to be praised by the high priest.

"Hong Xiao, you don't have to be modest, I can see that you are a confident person, and excessive modesty is hypocrisy." The High Priest said.

Unexpectedly, the high priest was so direct, Hong Xiao touched his nose with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, the high priest smiled even more happily.

"I don't know how many years, I haven't been so happy, Hong Xiao, thank you!"

"High Priest, you're polite, I just did something I thought I should do, but you, now there is no problem in Miao Village, smiling is good for physical and mental health, and can prolong life, you better smile more!"

"Longevity? This kind of thing may still work on someone else's body, but for me, it is impossible to prolong life! The high priest said with a sudden sigh.

"Impossible? Why is that? "Hong Xiao is a little strange.

"Hehe, I already know that I will leave this world that day, do you think it is possible for me to live longer?" The high priest smiled and asked Hong Xiao,

"Knowing when you will die, High Priest, can you know how long you will live? Can the high priest of Miao Village really do this? Hong Xiao was taken aback.

Before, Hong Xiao had already heard this rumor about the high priest.

It is rumored that each high priest is a messenger of the Miao god to the world, not only can guide the Miao people on a correct path, they can even know when they will leave this world.

It's a cruel magical ability.

When people are alive and hesitate about the unknown of the future, they often have more goals and expectations to strive for.

However, for the high priests of the Miao people, the future is predictable, and even, they know that they will leave this world one day in the future.

I have to say, this is a very cruel thing.

When a person knows that he will die one day, don't think that this is terrible, in fact, cruelty is far more than terrible.

If you think about it, you know that you will live to be 80 years old, and you were okay a few years ago, and you can live happily, but what about when you are close to 80 years old?

Isn't it cruel that you might even think that one day in the future, all of a sudden, you will die, and you will be filled with fear of death?

Don't say that you are not afraid of death, there are only a handful of people in this world who can be afraid of death.

When facing the death that you already know, that fear is even more terrifying than facing the unknown death.

Originally, Hong Xiao thought that rumors were just rumors, how could an ordinary human have such a magical and cruel ability?

Even some very powerful ancient warriors don't know what day their longevity is, but when they really start to be a little unbearable, they will slowly understand.

And when an ancient warrior learns that his longevity is short, he will also be very frightened.

The longer you live, the more you don't want to die, that's for sure.

In the face of Hong Xiao's surprise, the high priest nodded very calmly and said, "That's right, I can indeed know when my Shouyuan will end, now that I think about it, it won't be long." ”

When he said this, Hong Xiao felt extremely indifferent in the tone of the high priest.

It seems that he is not talking about his own life and death, but about the life and death of an unrelated person!

That kind of indifference made Hong Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, High Priest, are you not afraid? Not worried? It's not a good thing for a person to know that he will die one day! Hong Xiao asked cautiously.

But unexpectedly, the high priest was still extremely calm: "Hong Xiao, you don't have to be so careful, from the moment I became the high priest, I knew which day I would leave this world, if I had to be scared every day, perhaps, I would have been depressed to death!" The High Priest said with a smile.

No matter what he says, the high priest always laughs and doesn't take it to heart.

But Hong Xiao knew that the high priest's indifference was only cultivated after many years of suffering and torture.

If the high priest was born like this, Hong Xiao would never believe it!

Sure enough, without waiting for Hong Xiao to say anything, the high priest continued: "However, when I first knew when I would leave, I did have some fear in my heart, but after so many years, I slowly suppressed the fear in my heart. ”

When the high priest said this, Hong Xiao could understand.

"High Priest, I don't know what you have to say when you called me over?" Hong Xiao asked.

Since the high priests were so honest, Hong Xiao didn't ink, and directly asked the biggest question in his heart.

The high priest still appreciated Hong Xiao's behavior, so he also said very cooperatively: "Actually, it's nothing, I just saw Kalam today and wanted to talk to you about the Shen Miao clan." ”

"The matter of the Shen Miao clan?"

Hong Xiao was stunned.

What are you talking about?

However, Hong Xiao still keenly noticed the high priest's somewhat stunned eyes.

Could it be that the high priest knows something about the Shen Miao tribe?

Thinking of this, Hong Xiao's curiosity was a little irrepressible.

Hong Xiao has always been very interested in the Shen Miao clan, this is a magical race, and there are too many legends about them.

Hong Xiao has always believed that human beings are equal, and everyone is a separate individual with equal rights.

However, since leaving Huaxia and going abroad, Hong Xiao knew that in this world, nothing is equal.

Money, power, status, strength......

All.

All of this has created inequality between people.

Many people are born rich, masters, and rich people, while some people are born with bad conditions.

There's no way around it, and it's so hard to avoid it.

Especially after Hong Xiao came into contact with Gu Wu, he saw this inequality more clearly.

Some days are natural cultivators, and they are full of cultivation talents.

Hong Xiao himself is such a person, Dao Jiu is such a person, and Zhu Zhishan is also such a person.

For these people, if they don't encounter any sudden difficulties, it is very easy to become a master.

Look at Dao Jiu, look at Zhu Zhishan, and you will know the benefits of this talent.

And Hong Xiao himself should be regarded as a special example, say that he is lucky, he is very lucky, but if he is not lucky, in some aspects, Hong Xiao is also unlucky enough.

However, in any case, these are representatives of talent, and there are some people who are destined to be untalented.

Not to mention becoming a master, it is a very luxurious thing to become the most ordinary and ordinary ancient martial arts cultivator.

At this time, the so-called equality is all fart words.

However, if Hong Xiao and the others are still within the acceptable range even if they are talented, then this Shen Miao clan is indeed the object of envy of everyone.

The Shen Miao Clan, as a strange race in the ancient martial arts world of China, has no problem saying that they are the Celestial Protectors.

These people are all natural ancient martial arts cultivators, with outstanding talents, as long as they cultivate step by step, surpassing the innate is their lowest threshold.

And for many ancient martial arts cultivators, it was very difficult to reach the innate realm, let alone surpass the innate realm.

If this were the case, the Shen Miao might not be so famous, this race, and many other human beings should not have such talents.

They can communicate with animals, they can talk to plants, and they can do a lot of things that humans shouldn't do.

It can be said that everything that the Shen Miao clan has shown is that person's astonishment, so that there are very, very many people who are jealous of them.

With such a talent and such a race, it is difficult not to be jealous of others!

Jealousy is the most terrible emotion of human beings, because jealousy can lead to very serious consequences.

A hundred years ago, the tragic incident that happened to the Shen Miao people is the best proof.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shen Miao clan was so good, so good that many people were very wary of them, maybe that thing wouldn't have happened, and the situation of the Shen Miao clan wouldn't have been so miserable.

Hong Xiao didn't know much about the events of that year, but looking at the appearance of the high priest, he seemed to know a lot about the events of that year.

Hong Xiao has always wanted to know what happened back then, so how could the high priest not be interested in mentioning these at this time!

"High Priest, do you know about the Shen Miao clan? I am indeed a little curious about what happened back then, and I ask the High Priest to tell me! Hong Xiao said respectfully.

If you want to know something from the mouth of the high priest, of course you have to be polite.

Seeing Hong Xiao so frankly saying that he wanted to know about the Shen Miao clan, the high priest sighed.

"I do know some of the things back then, but not very much, after all, when that incident happened, I was not born yet, and then I heard some people talk about it, and that incident was a pain that the Shen Miao people can never erase!" The High Priest said.

Hearing the high priest say this, Hong Xiao was even more sure that the high priest must know something.

"High Priest, what happened back then, please tell the High Priest!" Hong Xiao said again.

But unexpectedly, in the face of Hong Xiao's sincerity, the high priest still didn't say anything, but replied softly: "Everything is destined by God, we want to reverse, it's really a slim chance!" ”
