Chapter 18: The Man Behind the Scenes
[[[CP|W:288|H:448|A:C|U:http://file1.biquge.info/chapters/20142/23/2197727635287685334193343107080.jpg
White Lotus went to the human world afterwards to explain the situation and announced the order of the gods, and the rest, White Lotus will not care, Bo Li asked her not to interfere, and the rest of the things will be considered later, of course, by the way, let her prepare other things, such as the relocation of the temple.
Bo Li had already thought about it, it would not help to let Bai Lian and them continue to live in the mountains, it would be better to go to the village.
Anyway, it didn't have much impact, as for what Bo Li said at the end, in fact, Bai Lian found out that it was just a false alarm, and thought it was something......
At that time, it didn't matter much whether the village chief was a human or a monster, how he was, Bai Lian didn't care much anymore, anyway, it didn't matter what that little thing was.
Bai Lian now understands Bo Li's thoughts, but the only thing she cares about is the problem of who is behind the whole thing this time.
Bo Li said that they already had a plan, but Bai Lian was a little uneasy.
And the things in the city also made him a little concerned, although it is a small city, but in terms of today's land, the scale of this gathering of tens of thousands of people is not huge.
Of course, she would never have imagined that the future human population size, million-level cities, that would abound.
The development of the world will always exceed people's imagination, which is why it is said that reality is often more YY than fiction
That also makes sense.
After Bai Lian went home, he rested for a day or two, and when he arrived in the city on the third day, the situation was already different, the trusted city lord had already mastered all the rules of the city, so that a village really became a city, and he actually arranged for the stone statue of Boli to be gilded, which he thought would better reflect the identity of the gods.
Bai Lian originally thought it was a bit exaggerated, but he also saw that the people inside were constantly arranged to pave the way, and as for the guards, he was firmly controlled by him, and the number of people did not increase, but the people inside changed a few horses, and ...... Really went to buy a batch of weapons.
However, it seems that this batch of weapons is probably prepared by him a long time ago, although the number is not enough, but as long as there are more than a dozen people, the deterrent effect is very high.
If you wait until everyone can equip it, this can be regarded as an army, and then, the city began to enter the real track, and he also proposed the concept of taxation, of course, I am afraid that this is still under the prompting of Bo Li and Mei Li and others.
Used for the construction and use of the city, this qiē makes this place completely different from the past, Bai Lian was also taken aback when she saw this change, in fact, she didn't know whether it was good or bad to go on like this...... However, seeing the city as it is now, the people in the city are all alive, and the construction of roads is not just that.
It's a hassle to walk through the forest, but if you carve out a path through the forest, you can connect to other places.
Merry could see that this person's goal was not only that, now that he had a backstage, he planned to expand his ambition The relocation of the small town was imminent, and he definitely needed a road and a vacant land, and there were several small villages near the place where they moved to, with populations ranging from tens to hundreds.
These are all newly relocated from the mainland, and I am afraid that these people will also be included in it.
Should the size of the city be further expanded?
The world is indeed changing very quickly, and after Bai Lian sighed for a while, she discussed this matter with the new host of the temple.
That's an old man, and he was also the teacher of White Lotus and Minglian, of course, he himself opposed Bailian becoming a monk, Minglian is very smart and learns very well, but he is old after all, so he taught the position to Minglian, who knows that Minglian is a teenager after all, going out to travel, and then this time only he continues to come.
Wait until a more suitable successor is found, or Minglian returns, or he dies......
Anyway, there are only so many choices, and as for the god Bori, he actually has a cold attitude.
He had met the god in the past, and Hakurei's temper was much better than the one he had been, but it was clear that the god had no impartiality.
This kind of action made the old man a little strange, but he wouldn't speak casually if it was someone else's business, just watched quietly from the side.
In other words, this qiē is the most normal.
Of course, Bai Lian also heard these words, but the left ear went in and out of the right ear, and after hearing it, she thought that she had forgotten it, anyway, Bai Lian felt that it was good to go on like this now, and it was also quite good to practice magic and other things every day, but as a magician, she felt that her cultivation was too slow, and she was never able to compare with Mei Li.
Of course, in fact, Bo Li thinks that she is still good, at least much better than herself, and as for comparing with Mei Li, there is really no need to compare.
"Ah......" On this day, it was about a week after that incident, and White Lotus went to Hakurei Shrine again.
And the reason is because Bori seems to know the so-called mastermind behind it.
Then, he pulled her over, it was really pulled over, Bai Lian had just slept on the table of the scriptures, but she was pulled directly by the back of her neck, and she was really dragged over neatly and directly, she didn't even have time to resist and had already arrived at the shrine......
Mei Li's ability is really very useful, Bai Lian couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't expect that she would be dragged over like this one day...... But forget it, it's not a thing.
"What's the matter, Mistress Hirori......" she asked, glancing at the trapped woman, then pretending not to see it.
This woman must not be simple, the scarf can float up on its own, this woman must not be simple, she must be someone who can even play mahjong well.
"It's nothing, this guy is the mastermind of this incident...... I also wanted to try how much patience she had, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly less, so I was caught directly by Melly. "Hirori said as if it were a trivial matter, like I had eaten two poached eggs at noon today.
His tone was pretty much the same in Melly's eyes, and after a while, "Huh." ”
So Miss Melly replied like this, and then it was a disdain for Bo Li.
I don't know why, Bai Lian suddenly felt that Miss Meili's attitude towards Bo Li seemed to have changed a lot, and now Miss Mei Li often does something surprising.
"Did I say you're just ignoring me?" The woman said coldly, showing an unhappy look.
The scarf around his neck fluttered twice......
"I see, you don't want your scarf to keep floating."
“…… This isn't a scarf, it's my feather coat! The woman was even more upset, "I corrected it three times. ”
"Yes, feather, don't bring such a troublesome scarf next time." Bori continued to say the wrong thing unconcernedly, and he didn't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's the fourth time, I'm cursing you."
"......" looks like he should be flirting with this beauty......
"Ahem...... Melly coughed twice, then said, "That's not good......
Bo Li shook her head helplessly, and then said to the other party: "I don't think it's good for you to be like this, since you are here, you should be prepared." ”
"I just didn't think of it...... Someone can catch me......" The woman looked at Hirori there, was silent for a moment, and said, "Let go of me." ”
"......" Bai Lian only noticed at this time that this woman's hands were wrapped together by several dark purple threads, which was a very strange thing, but ......
Seems unbreakable.
"Then let's wait for you to finish, okay, now that the white lotus has arrived...... I'd love to know, our little family, little place...... Is there anything that can involve Prince Shotoku in the center? ”
The man who traveled to China learned something, Hirori didn't know, but he came here at this time...... It's not always innocent.
“…… Do you know it's the Prince? "Woman...... Or Huo Qing'e was also taken aback.
"Well, of course I still know this, and the so-called pursuit is pretty much the same thing." Bo Li tilted her head, then thought for a moment, and said, "How do you know about my affairs here, that's what I want to ask." ”
"......" Huo Qing'e paused for a moment, her feather coat continued to flutter there, and then after a few seconds, she spoke, "Lord Prince, I know a person, his name is Ming Lian, and he mentioned it to us about you. ”
Bai Lian's eyes widened suddenly, and it had been several months since she left, and the family letter had not been sent...... It should be said that how can it be sent back, thousands of miles away, there is no such thing as a post station at all, so naturally there is no way.
She had been worried, but this matter was put aside for the time being.
It's just that I didn't expect to be able to hear the name of the life lotus in such an unexpected coincidence.
She suddenly understood what the purpose of Bo Li suddenly pulled herself over.
"That's a coincidence, it's a life lotus." Bori nodded.
If that's the case, then the whole thing, which seems to be much simpler, seems to be ...... It's not something particularly targeted.
Then you can be a little relieved.
