Two days on weekends, the first one.

Nanmu has the smallest territory among the five countries, but Hwaseong, as the capital, is not slightly worse than the other four capitals.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining brightly and warmly, and as a gathering place for the dignitaries of Nanmu, Dingjing Street was already full of people at this moment.

Huacheng Tianfu, Nanmu Zhongshu Ling and Prince Zhan Shitian Mingyuan drank the top Tieguanyin with a leisurely bearing, and the middle-aged man dressed as a servant under the hall was whispering.

"Can you see clearly that when Duan Ningmei came back, he was just a few Duan Mansion family generals? Are there any other faces secretly infiltrating Duan Mansion today? Tian Mingyuan asked casually, "I heard that Duan Ningmei's trip has a special purpose, it seems that he is looking for some helper, go and find out quickly!" ”

Dingjing Street is close to the town of the General General's Mansion, Nanmu Town General Liu Linjing and Cheng Jincao, who is in the position of Taichang Qingxun Protector, had a very happy conversation.

Liu Linjing, who had a beard on his face and a majestic face, raised his hand to ask for tea, and then asked, "In Brother Cheng's opinion, does the Duan clan have any other tricks?" ”

Unlike Liu Linjing, who is tall and strong, Taichangqing Cheng Jincao is handsome and short, with a goatee under his chin and a shrewd cunning.

Cheng Jincao took a sip of strong tea, and said slowly, "My three families are united, and there are several difficulties, and the Duan family is quite overwhelmed, but although the 10,000-year-old giant tree is dead and not rotten, it is only the beginning of the fight, and it is still too early to talk about victory or defeat, and the most important thing for us should be to take the lead in the battle of the spirit girl, so as to be undefeated!" ”

"The spirit girl should have a decision in five days." , Liu Linjing thought thoughtfully, "This time, I want to see how the Duan family unties this knot!" ”

***

In the secret room of the Duan Mansion, Duan Jingnan, the contemporary head of the Duan family, personally attended the meeting with Zhifeng, served fragrant tea, and saluted the seat, which was enough to be a corporal of courtesy!

There is a consensus that people have to lower their posture when they want it, and this consensus is not divided between ancient and modern.

"Zhifeng Gongzi is peerless, brave and brave, and has the pride of helping the world and compassion for the public, the old man admires it very much, and today I can see that the young man is extraordinary." Duan Jingnan poured out almost all the words of praise that could be used in one go, looking as enthusiastic and enthusiastic as he looked, completely ignoring the difference in identity, like an old friend.

Zhifeng sneered in his heart, Uncle Duan just wanted to use external forces to help his family get rid of internal troubles, don't you want to say it so insensitively!

Thinking about it, Zhifeng is not a hairy boy who has never seen the world, "Why should the head of the Duan family praise him, Zhifeng is ashamed, now the situation in Nanmu Chaotang is unpredictable, Brother Zhengxuan has already told the boy a summary, and asked Mrs. Duan to show it." ”

The young man pushed up Tai Chi is also a bargain, when I know that the young master is a young boy with hanging hair, don't talk nonsense, don't mention the theme, don't think about a few words of praise to let me flutter and show loyalty.

Duan Jingnan laughed, "Since Gongzi Zhifeng is so refreshing, the old man will get straight to the point, let's not mention the details of the specific court dispute for the time being, the current urgency is to ask Gongzi Zhigong to compose a song for the little girl, and the battle of the spirit girl will affect the political situation of Nanmu in five days!" ”

With Duan Jingnan's introduction, Zhifeng finally understood that the safety of this trip to Nanmu was far more dangerous than he expected.

A hundred years ago, when Nanmu was in turmoil and the war was stalemate, the leader of the Kutu Holy Sect led hundreds of thousands of sects to support the royal family, dividing the rebels with their transcendent status and great influence, and finally defeating them.

After the civil strife subsided, the monarch of Nanmu established the Kutu Holy Religion as the state religion, and since then the Kutu Holy Religion has been prosperous for a hundred years.

Kutu Holy Sect, set up a sect leader, a spirit girl, and a high priest, and then set up five protectors, dozens of lords, and more than hundreds of thousands of sect members, and its influence in the Nanmu government and opposition is even far above the four major families.

For decades, the head of the sect has been a disciple of the sect leader, and all of them have taken the intensive study of the unique art of "asking the heavens" as their own responsibility, and rarely participated in the preaching and evangelization of the people.

This generation of sect leader Xi Feng is drunk and wants to make a breakthrough in Taoism and martial arts, and he has long been hidden in the secret places of the mountains and wilderness, and it is difficult to find traces. The affairs of the church are controlled by the spirit maidens and the high priests.

The spirit girl is selected from a number of talented and good-looking young women who are personally ordered by the sect leader, and mainly manages various affairs such as preaching, teaching, organization, money and food, rituals, and helping the world, which can be said to be truly powerful.

The high priest of the same status presides over the rest of the teaching affairs such as praying for blessings, healing, eliminating disasters, exploring secrets, and performing martial arts, especially when choosing a spirit woman, the opinion of the high priest is the most critical, and it can be decided in one word when the parties are at a standstill!

As the most powerful family in Nanmu, the relationship between the Nanmu Duan clan and the Kutu Holy Sect has always been inseparable.

Not to mention the occasional Duan clan member serving as the sect leader, just by virtue of the spirit girl with the highest status in the vein of religious affairs, she has been monopolized by the Duan family for five consecutive terms, and the intimacy between the Duan family and the Kutu Holy Sect can be seen.

This generation of spirit girls was originally a distant clan sister of the same generation as Duan Jingnan, and she had always been in good health, but she did not intend to die violently for no reason before ten months. The Duan family sent several martial arts masters and medical saints who couldn't find the reason, which has also become a big strange case that has shocked Nan Mu recently.

In the past ten days, public opinion has gradually formed a voice among the grief-stricken and indignant congregation, and it is said that because of Duan's unscrupulousness, bad luck fell from heaven on the spirit girl, and this strange disaster was added.

Immediately after that, the two Dharma protectors and several commanders jointly requested that the selection method of the spirit girl be revised, and the high priest had a vague attitude, although he did not agree or object, and he took a cold posture of watching from the sidelines.

Someone came out and no one objected, so the Holy Church of Kutu engaged in an activity similar to the 'public election of the whole people' in later generations, and there was no special person to supervise the process anyway, and the conclusion is that although the spirit girl of the previous generation died accidentally, but the spirit girl is the holy position in the religion, and it cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the selection of the spirit girl will be elected this time, and it will be voted on five days later.

Those who are qualified to serve as spirit girls are girls who have been enlightened by the master, with outstanding talent and beautiful appearance, and are generally only selected from a limited number of family candidates.

The Duan family has served as five generations of spirit girls in a row, and their own family knows their own affairs, and the violent death of the spirit girl caught the Duan family off guard, and the tricks of 'God's divine power' and 'God Lord's dream' prepared when the spirit girl was conferred can no longer be used, and the position of the spirit girl is challenged unprecedentedly.

Since it is the first time to try to elect people by referendum, the rules and standards in it are naturally not complete, and there are many loopholes, which not only gives other candidates a chance, but also does not let the Duan family cut off their thoughts, after all, several generations of spirit girls are from the Duan family, and the Duan family still has the greatest influence among the people.

Time is pressing, and the plan to choose the spirit girl cannot be unconventional, and under the old-fashioned approach, there are still a few "innocent people, outstanding talents, pleasant appearances, and compassion." ”

In addition to appearance, what can really compete is mainly talent.

Talent, to be proficient in the teachings of Hutu, to be able to answer the questions and feelings of the on-site examiners, to be good at poetry, painting, piano and songs, and to walk alone.

In particular, a criterion was set for this selection, since the previous head of the Holy Church, the Holy Church has devoted itself to composing sacred hymns for decades, and it is a great pity that the Holy Church has been established for hundreds of years and has thousands of members, but it does not have a chant that it represents.

Therefore, in this selection of spirit girls, those who meet the conditions are the first to recommend the daughter who won the first prize in the song composition and chanting competition.

Several other forces seem to have known this result, and began to prepare for the composing and singing session early, and even the Tian family is said to have invited the world-famous Qin Xian Yaoxin everyone to compose and practice for it.

Hearing Duan Jingnan's detailed explanation, Zhifeng could be regarded as completely aware of the reason why the Duan family was in such a hurry to ask himself to compose the music, and Duan Ningmei, Duan Zhengxuan, and Duan Jingnan, father and son, emphasized and treated him so politely.

Once the battle of the Spirit Maiden is defeated, the hostile forces will come to power, and the status, power, and influence of the Spirit Maiden in the Kutu Holy Sect will completely influence the will of the sect members. In addition, there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries among the believers in the sect, if they attack them in groups, then the gate will be in a desperate situation where the heavens should not be called to the earth.

After being silent for a long time, Zhifeng inquired in detail about the customs and customs related to Nanmu Kingdom, the temperament and preferences of the people, and the popular local tune style. ”

Shi Shiran walked out of the secret room, Zhifeng looked up at the sky, Yaoxin, Xin, Xin, Sister Xin, let's have another competition, and talk about this unfinished piano meeting again!

The young master suddenly remembered the "chess piece", how obscene and obscene his family looked, and there was already an indescribable picture in his mind.
