Chapter 455: The First Witch God
Xiao Yao waited in Mu Huan's room for less than half an hour, and saw Mu Huan return to the room with a tired face, and Mu Huan was very surprised when he saw Xiao Yao.
"Xiao Gongzi, how did you get into the watchtower? Now the watchtower has been sealed in stone. ”
"Senior Mu, I dived in from the waterway under your watchtower, because there is a very important matter, I was entrusted by someone, so I will use this method to come here, and I hope that Senior Mu will take me to see the first witch god, I have something important to say to him." Xiao Yao said very solemnly.
"Brother Xiao, I believe in you, so let's do it, I'll call Yi Feng to come over to entertain you first, and then send someone to report to the first witch god and arrange for you to meet." Mu Huan could see Xiao Yao's anxiety, so he immediately made a decision.
Mu Huan quickly ordered someone to call Yi Feng on the one hand, and personally report to the first witch god, leaving Xiao Yao to wait for Yi Feng in his room.
"Brother Xiao." Yi Feng came quickly.
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, this time the stone seal of the watchtower of the Witch God Temple, I thought I wouldn't see you within a year." As soon as Yi Feng saw Xiao Yao, he greeted him very warmly, probably because of the stone seal of the watchtower, this guy was choking enough.
"Yi Feng, I really need to meet your teacher this time, you must help me." Xiao Yao interrupted Yi Feng's broken thoughts.
"Brother Xiao, you came to the Witch God Temple because of the war in Miao Jiang." Yi Feng actually said directly.
"How do you know?" Xiao Yao was very surprised.
"Actually, the teacher has long judged that someone will enter the watchtower in the past few days to inform the situation of the war outside, but I didn't expect it to be you, if it weren't for the war in Miaojiang, who would enter our witch temple at this time so recklessly?" Yi Feng replied as a matter of course.
"Yi Feng, then who do you think I was asked to come here to meet your teacher?" Xiao Yao felt that Yi Feng was a lot more mature now, so he saved his mind about taking the school.
"Miao Jiang is such a few major forces, Brother Xiao, you don't have a good relationship with King Miao, and you are not familiar with the four Miao descendants, naturally it can't be them, you rescued me from King Yao's men, naturally it can't be them, the remaining Dong King is far away from Xizhou, the court sends troops to Miao Jiang, they won't bear the brunt, then only Peng's Tusi will be left." Yi Feng smiled and analyzed one by one.
"Yes, you kid has become a lot more mature and knows how to think hard, so guess what the situation is outside?" Xiao Yao continued to take the school exam for Yi Feng.
"Brother Xiao, you rushed over from Xizhou, then the situation you know is the situation ten days ago, and the Wu God Temple has been closed since the Phoenix Mountain Rebellion, what I know is the situation a month ago, but, Brother Xiao, you are Han, why are you willing to help us Miao people?" Yi Feng didn't answer Xiao Yao's question, but instead asked Xiao Yao a question.
"I believe your teacher also wants to know the answer to this question, but he won't ask it directly like you, in fact, I came this time mainly to help Peng Shan. But while helping him, it is equivalent to helping Peng's Tusi, that is, helping Miaojiang, and the reason why I help Pengshan is very simple, I don't want the four provinces of Miaojiang to be in flames, but the only way to stop the war is war. Xiao Yao said slowly.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you worried that Peng's toast will have other ambitions?" Yi Feng asked a very important question.
"Everyone will have ambitions, Peng's toast is the same, Miao King is the same, and your witch temple is the same, but the way to realize your ambitions is not necessarily the same, at least now Peng's toast is not like Miao Wang. That's why I chose to help Peng Shan, as for their ambitions in the future, it's not something I can restrain anymore, and I don't want to restrain it, because that's their freedom and rights. Xiao Yao looked at Yi Feng and replied.
"Brother Xiao, you are really a different person, you are not like ordinary Han people, who will discriminate against us Miao people, nor like the few witch gods in our witch temple, you rarely care about ordinary people, and you don't want to be like Miao Wang and others, always thinking about your rights. I wonder, what are you thinking about right now? Yi Feng continued to ask.
"What I'm thinking, it's actually very simple, I want to live a free and happy life, choose my life in my own way, but I will never stand on someone else's corpse in exchange for my personal ambitions and desires, this is what makes me different from many people in your eyes, because they feel that they are different from other people, they are high, so they don't treat ordinary people as human beings." Xiao Yao's tone became a little heavy.
"Brother Xiao, your martial arts are so good, and your talent is also very outstanding, why are you still willing to put yourself and ordinary people from the same perspective to look at the problem." Yi Feng didn't seem to be able to understand Xiao Yao's words very well.
"One day you will slowly understand what I said today, but you can't understand it now." Xiao Yao didn't want to force Yi Feng to accept his point of view.
"Brother Xiao, the teacher said that you will be a person who changes many people, and sure enough, you are such a person, in fact, I also want to be like you." Yi Feng's eyes began to show adoration.
Yi Feng was about to continue, but this was Mu Huan, but he had already returned.
"Young Master Xiao, let's go and meet the first witch god together, he is already waiting for you in the central hall."
Mu Huan led the way in front, Xiao Yao and Yi Feng followed, and soon came to a large hall on the third floor, only to see a row of seats on the left and right sides of the middle of the hall, and in the middle was a statue of Chi You, a middle-aged man dressed in white was standing in the hall watching Xiao Yao and a few people walk in.
"This is Xiao Gongzi, thank you Gongzi for your help before." The man in white stood still and said with a smile towards Xiao Yao.
From the man in white, Xiao Yao felt a fluctuation of the primordial god, even above the void, and beside him was the third temple witch god in a black robe.
"My name is Yi Tian, I am the first witch god of the Witch God Temple, and I am also Yi Feng's teacher, this is my junior brother Yi Ming." Yi Tian, the first witch god, gave a brief introduction, and then invited Xiao Yao to take a seat.
"Brother Xiao, we don't need to be polite, just say what you have to say." This Yi Tian is happy, without any roundabouts.
"A few seniors, I got some help from some people this time, and I entered the watchtower of the Witch God Temple from the underground river, and I hope you will forgive me." Xiao Yao first gave a brief explanation of how he entered.
Yi Tian smiled and motioned for Xiao Yao to continue.
"This time I came to the Witch God Temple, I was entrusted by Peng Shan, the son of Peng's Tusi, to explain the current situation in Xizhou to several seniors, hoping that several seniors can make corresponding decisions." Xiao Yao began to introduce the basic situation in Xizhou.
From the Jiangnan camp of the imperial court, the mobilization of troops in the Jiangbei camp, to the various phenomena discovered by Xiao Yao in the Xizhou garrison, the situation that Xizhou City is now very likely to have been surrounded by the imperial army was explained in detail to several people.
Yi Tian didn't speak, nor did he have any expression, but Yi Ming seemed to be a little worried.
"Xiao Gongzi, although the Witch God Temple has been closed, there are also special channels for outside news to know. The situation is even worse than you said, and now the imperial army has blocked the city of Xizhou and is trying to cut off the communication channel between Xizhou and the other tribes in Miaojiang. Yi Ming said.
Xiao Yao had long felt that the Witch God Temple, as a symbol of Miaojiang's divine power, would definitely have its own way to understand the information outside, but it was not easy for him to ask the specific way, but although Yi Ming's words were expected by Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao still felt that the development of the situation was constantly extending in a worse direction.
Yi Tian looked at Yi Ming and motioned for him to explain the situation in full.
"Recently, Peng Shan has visited the new Nanjing Taiwei Zhang Jiayong on the imperial court, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to the front line with the army, as a supervisor, and this new Taiwei is the prince's teacher, with the title of the prince Taibao, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Donghai The three battalions have mobilized nearly 50,000 people under Xizhou City, and Peng's Tusi has also closed Xizhou City, and the double-fire war is about to break out." Yi Ming said in more detail about the changes in the situation.
"So what do the seniors want to do, this is the answer I came here to know, Xizhou can't be defended, and even if you stick to Xizhou, in the end, Peng's Tusi will be wiped out, if the imperial army completely annihilates Peng's Tusi, then it will defend Xizhou, use it as a springboard, and then go straight to Phoenix Mountain." Xiao Yao directly said his judgment.
"So Peng Shan, they asked you to come over and persuade our Witch God Temple to come forward to unite the various forces in Miaojiang?" Yi Tian, the first witch god, asked.
Xiao Yao nodded.
"Our witch temple will not come forward, because we have no way, if this stone seal wants to be unlocked, it will take a year, and if you have access to the guò underground waterway like you, only a few people can leave the watchtower. But this is not the most critical part, but our Witch God Temple had an agreement with the imperial court back then, that is, Miao Jiang cannot have any force to unify the whole territory, and the Witch God Temple must not interfere in government affairs. ”
Yi Tian said an answer that was completely beyond Xiao Yao's expectations.
"Teacher, but the imperial court has now begun to raise troops to invade our Miao Jiang." Yi Feng next to him didn't understand his teacher's decision very much.
Xiao Yao looked at Yi Tian, and then said, "Are you worried that the war will escalate, and by then Miao Jiang will all become powder." ”
Regarding Xiao Yao's question, the first witch god Yi Tian did not answer directly.
"Miao Jiang doesn't have the capital to start a full-scale war with the imperial court, so even if it is humiliated, some things can't be done, this is the case for our Witch God Temple, and the same is true for the four major toasts, but I am still very grateful to Xiao Gongzi for coming to us in times of crisis, willing to lend a hand, Miao Jiang is grateful."
