25. Food Part II
The town called Yudu, located in the center of Luxi, is the place where the divine power is located, and the Ozhi River passes through the south of the city, so it naturally becomes a rich land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, the square of the temple was already densely packed with Luxi people who had come from all over the world, and the sound of prayer resounded throughout the world, and the birds hovered over the town for several days and did not dare to fall.
The people in the temple spun around in place for a few hours, looking through the narrow lattice window from time to time at the ant-like kneeling people below, and there were even more and more of them.
The men had to shout at the top of their voices so that they could hear what was being said in the midst of the singing.
"Why haven't you come out yet, will something happen?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to invite this oracle......"
"Huh? What did you say? ”
"Close the window a little more, you can't hear it at all!"
"I've said it's been a few days! Look at the people outside, they can't get down on their knees! ”
"That's right...... I heard the people in the deep hall say, ah, grandma has been in for many days! ”
"Grandma Wu? How could it be noon? What about the current saints? ”
"What, you don't know? The lights on the other side of the tower have been off for a long time, I heard that ...... The Holy Maiden is missing! ”
"That's it! The girls who served had their eyes gouged out, and they are still hanging on the beams of the house! ”
"How is that possible! Don't talk nonsense! ”
"Oh, how dare I! Haven't you heard about the last oracle? It was because the saintess was gone, that she let Grandma Wu temporarily put on the top of the ......"
"Huh! said that it was a lot of strange things when my grandmother came down at noon, what black smoke...... North Fire, the miracle is gone! ”
"It's blasphemy!"
"In my opinion, most of the Northern Pluto God is angry and blames us!"
"It's over...... The Ten Elders didn't think of a way, didn't they run away? ”
"It's impossible, isn't Ying-sama still up there?"
"What does he know! Ask for more blessings! ”
The rumors started here in the first place, and I don't know how they got out, and the crowd is most likely to believe it when they are helpless. In less than two hours, a faint cry could be heard from the square under the temple.
But on the top of this room, there was a particularly splendid hall, and Lord Ying, the head of the Ten Elders, was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, who was rummaging back and forth in the gold plate that the girl held in front of him, looking for nuts with a pleasant appearance.
The gauze tent has cut off the scorching sun of these days, and it has also blocked the sound of prayers and prayers.
After a while, an old woman with a stern expression came out from behind the door, she beckoned the girl to step back, and bent down and asked, "My lord, are you satisfied with all this today?" ”
Ying-sama looked up from the long wide table, the oil stains on his face flowed down the collar, he smiled hesitantly, and snorted from the bowl: "Not bad! Grandma Wu, you are still the best at doing things, and you know that I like fresh. ”
"I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to work for you......"
Lord Ying stopped talking in surprise, and only heard her say: "My lord, it is better to go back and tell the elders of the council, just say that there is nothing Grandma Wu can do." ”
Lord Ying laughed unabashedly, with a disapproving look, and continued to look for food at the table, only waiting for him to gnaw off most of the chicken legs before saying, "What? Trying to blackmail me in another way? Do you really think that if this group of ants outside kowtows, you really think of yourself as a god? If it weren't for the Elders offering you a lot of money, what do you think you are? Go back and kneel well, and find a way to get the oracle out, or I'll take your clothes and let you dry on the city gates!" ”
"But it's okay if you don't want to do it," Lord Ying suddenly continued, "Anyone can do it anyway, I think that girl just now is very good, Ming'er put the hat of the saint on her head, and you will be fine." ”
Grandma Wu echoed a few words as before, and said: "I have been here for many years, and the presidents of each generation will pray with the people in this room, after all, the oracle is just a word, whether it can be conveyed or not, many times, it depends on the elders." I don't know much, but I have seen a lot, the enemy army has passed through the sentry post and will soon reach Muzi, by the way, haven't you heard that the Northern Fire is gone? ”
When Lord Ying heard this, he suddenly restrained his smile, and Grandma Wu bent down to pick up a broken bone on the ground and threw it at him: "Run away, while it's still hot, otherwise you'll be left behind everyone." ”
Then she withdrew from the house.
Ei-sama was sitting alone at the table, and the people outside the window were shouting in unison, and he turned half his face to see the window above his head clattering.
And in the blue sky in the distance were flocks of birds circling back and forth, and among them was a sharp figure, spreading its wings, cutting through all the overlapping flocks of birds, flying straight towards the temple.
Getting lower and lower, Lord Ying hurriedly got up, threw half of the chicken leg in his hand towards the table, wiped his hands on his waist, and turned to push open the round window.
The black-winged bird folded its wings precisely on the windowsill, its blue eyes twitching and its mouth purring.
It beckoned to Ei-sama to come closer to it, and then it lowered its head and slammed its mouth into the arm that Ei-sama handed over.
The arm was very different from the rest of the limbs, not only was it riddled with wounds that had been ripped off its flesh, but it was also surprisingly fat.
Ei-sama just stood in front of the window, rolled up a sleeve and fed his bird, and looked back at the movement on the other side of the door.
When it had eaten its fill, Lord Ying grabbed its wings with one hand: "You gluttonous brute!" What news did you bring back? ”
Half an hour later, Lord Ying's bodyguard, a tall, ugly-looking middle-aged man, entered the hall.
Ei-sama was putting the bird back on the shelf, and then beckoned at him, "Mountain Eagle, they found that person...... Spread the word, and invite all of the Ten Elders to come to my breakfast table......"
