Chapter 525: The High Priest
Han Mo hurriedly showed respect, handed over the pearl box in his hand to Luo Rixu, and took the two brocade boxes from the red sleeve's hand in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Lord Fengsi, the following box is the precious goods you bought on the list, and this one box is ...... Oh, the big shopkeeper said that it was a gift for you, and please smile! ”
Luo Rixu had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but step forward and open the brocade box, but when he saw that there were also two pearls and some other valuables inside, he suddenly looked satisfied with his eyebrows, and suddenly approached and said: "In fact, inside, outsiders are never allowed to enter this altar!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "But since you came this time, if you don't let you in and have a look, it will seem that you are incompetent." It just so happens that these boxes of things can't be taken in, and you send things in with you, but a certain ugly thing is said in front, after entering, keep following so-and-so, don't look around...... If that's the case, if you are seen by the people inside, they will arrest you as a spy, and even so-and-so won't be able to save you at that time......! ”
Han Mo hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Fengji." I just admire the holy land of the Wind Country, I just want to see it, if it weren't for the blessing of the Priest, I'm afraid I will never be able to get this wish! ”
Luo Rixu said with a smile: "You are really right. Did you know that not everyone can enter the altar ground? He turned around and said, "Come in with so-and-so...... Yes, you're waiting outside here! Speaking of this, Luo Rixu pointed to the red sleeves, which obviously meant that the red sleeves did not follow in.
Red Sleeves' expression was cold, and Han Mo had already turned around and smiled: "You just wait here, I will go in with Lord Fengji, and we will come out soon!" ”
Red Sleeves frowned slightly, since she came with Han Mo, she naturally put Han Mo's safety first, but at this time, Han Mo was going to enter the altar alone, and her heart was naturally full of worries.
The so-called insiders watched the doorway, and the red sleeves had just observed the black snake crowd passing by the outer perimeter of the altar, and they already knew that this group of people was by no means easy to deal with, and the ordinary warriors of the Wind Country were too far behind them at that time.
These black snakes have obviously undergone extremely harsh training, although they seem to walk through in a team of three or five people every time, but the red sleeves can see that it is very such a team, and the direction between them has formed a small formation, once they encounter an enemy attack, the patrol team can immediately attack from the left, center and right three ways at the same time. And Red Sleeves also noticed that even when these black snakes were patrolling, their hands were firmly on the hilt of the knife, and that action allowed them to pull out their knives at any time.
This altar is really heavily guarded, even if the red sleeves, seeing the current defensive layout, they also feel that it is really difficult to rescue people from here.
Han Mo's expression was soft, he smiled slightly, and signaled that the red sleeves didn't have to worry, at this time, Luo Rixu had already stepped on the jade bridge and went to the altar.
Han Mo didn't say much, and immediately followed, stepping on the jade bridge.
The altar is a very strange complex independent of the circular ditch, and there are many bamboo houses built in a very regular way around it, and on the top of each house, there is a snake-shaped totem made of bamboo, and these bamboo houses surround the center, but it is a three-story heavenly pavilion.
The three-storey attic, the whole body is black and bright, purely made of black wood, the cornices are peculiar, all are snake head shapes, and the top of the pavilion is coiled with a giant wooden black snake, lifelike, at first glance, it is really like a living black snake coiled on it.
When Han Mo crossed the bridge, he saw the pavilion from afar, and even saw the big black snake on the top of the attic.
He knew in his heart that if he was not mistaken, this three-story attic that stood out from the crowd was only the place where the high priest of the Wind Country lived.
In the entire large circular altar, there are really a lot of houses, layer upon layer, row upon row, although Han Mo knows that Zhu Xiaoyan may be in a certain house within this altar, but there are many houses, but it is extremely difficult to know which direction it is for a while.
The corridor inside the altar is also paved with black wood, as Luo Rixu travels inward, he also passes through many curved corridors, the houses outside the pavilion are stacked on top of each other, and the houses inside are almost the same, Han Mo walked all the way down, bending around, but he felt as if he had entered a big labyrinth.
I rarely saw anyone else along the way, and after walking for a while, Han Mo saw a person slowly coming from the corridor opposite, dressed in a black robe, which was very similar to Luo Rixu's dress, but the black robe was extremely wide, and he was wearing a black hat that was integrated with the robe, which would hide the whole person under the black robe.
The man's steps were light, he was coming, he lowered his head, and he didn't look at Luo Rixu and Han Mo, when he passed by, Han Mo was feeling curious, and he felt a strong wind behind him, but it was the person who passed by who suddenly attacked from behind.
Han Moxin screamed badly: "Could it be that it leaked?" "Just about to dodge sideways, suddenly realized something, gritted his teeth, did not dodge, felt that the strong wind had reached the back of his head, if the other party was a master, if he had the intention of taking his own life, he could completely hit the back of his head at this moment, and kill himself instantly.
But at this critical moment, Han Mo had a flash of inspiration, knowing that if he dodged, he would immediately be aware that he was carrying martial arts, and in that case, things would become extremely troublesome.
So he can only gamble!
Pretending to be at a loss, he followed Luo Rixu and continued to walk forward, and did not react to the attack behind him.
In just an instant, Han Mo knew that he had made the right bet, and when the strong wind behind him reached the back of his head, he quickly disappeared, and after only taking two steps, he heard a voice behind him: "Wait a minute!" ”
Luo Rixu stopped, turned around, and saw that the black-robed man had raised his head, recognized his face, and arched his hand: "Moon Saint Division!" ”
Han Mo also stopped, deliberately pretending to have a puzzled expression and turned his head, only to realize that the black-robed man who had just passed by and tested whether he had martial arts from behind was actually a woman.
The woman also had clear eyebrows, but she had a cold look on her face, glanced at Han Mo, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Curry is missing pearls." Luo Rixu hurriedly said: "This is the guy who sent pearls to the trading house!" ”
The Moon Saint Si looked at Han Mo twice before he said, "The altar is not allowed to bring outsiders in easily, why do you want to bring him in?" ”
"These goods are precious." Luo Rixu explained: "I was afraid that one person would be injured if he carried it, so I let him send it in, and he would let him leave when he arrived at the warehouse!" ”
"No need!" Yue Shengsi said lightly and asked Han Mo, "Are you ...... What nationality? ”
"Qingguo!" Since he is Guan Mu's nephew, Han Mo can only say that he is from Qingguo.
Yuesheng said: "Then do you know poetry?" ”
Han Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why this Moon Saint Si asked like this, knowing that if he hesitated more, he would be suspected by the other party, so he immediately said: "I read some books, I know a little bit about it, but I can't understand it!" ”
His identity is Guan Mu's nephew, which is a big family in Qingguo, if he says that he is not studying, it is not normal.
"In that case, you come with so-and-so!" Moon Saint Si said lightly.
Han Mo frowned and said, "Where to go?" ”
Moon Saint Si frowned, "I'll know when I arrive!" ”
Han Mo looked at Luo Rixu, Luo Rixu hurriedly stepped forward, took the goods from Han Mo's hand, and said softly: "Holy Commander, you go, you will follow the past, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Han Mo looked at Luo Rixu's appearance, and knew that the status of this Moon Saint Division was definitely higher than Luo Rixu, so Luo Rixu seemed so respectful and did not dare to disobey, but he was also curious in his heart why this Moon Saint Division wanted to find him, but at this time, he couldn't ask more, thinking that it was a blessing or a curse or a curse, and he immediately arched his hand to the Moon Saint Division.
The Moon Saint Division didn't say much, but it was a way back, Han Mo glanced at Luo Rixu, only to see Luo Rixu snort, signaling himself to go over with the Moon Saint Division, and didn't say much, following the Moon Saint Division.
That Moon Saint Division's steps were light, and Han Mo knew that the kung fu under her hands must be good, compared to that group of black snakes, it seemed to be a little more clever.
Still turning around in the labyrinthine corridor of houses, Han Mo felt that he was getting closer and closer to the triangular pavilion, and he was a little confused in the criss-crossing corridor, but unconsciously, he walked down a large black corridor to the bottom of the pavilion.
I saw that in front of me was the gate of the pavilion, and there were two black-robed men guarding in front of the door, like sculptures, motionless.
A light flashed in Han Mo's eyes, and he was even a little surprised in his heart, looking at this posture, could it be that this Moon Saint Division in front of him was actually going to take him into the pavilion?
This is the abode of the high priest, how can he allow himself to follow into such a heavy place? These Wind Country people...... Do you see something, or do you know something?
Han Mo's hand shrunk in his sleeve couldn't help but clench his fist.
Now that he is in the hinterland of Divine Mountain City, if there is really a change, it will be difficult to fly by himself!
There was a "crunch" sound, the door of the pavilion had been opened, and the Moon Saint Division turned his head and said lightly: "Come with so!" Stepping into the pavilion, Han Mo paused, finally gritted his teeth, and followed.
After entering, he immediately smelled a very strange fragrance, like grass and trees, and like flowers, Han Mo secretly looked at it, but found that there was nothing special in this first-floor pavilion, it was furnished like a hospitality hall, with tables and chairs, all made of black wood.
The Moon Saint Division did not stop on the first floor, but went to the stairs at the edge of the corner and led Han Mo up.
Han Mo followed to the second floor, what appeared in front of him was a huge screen, the screens were like a wall, crisscrossing the second floor, these huge screens, even in other countries are rare, the production is extremely large and exquisite, the embroidery on it is also lifelike, Han Mo is in the screen, it seems to have entered another labyrinth, in all directions, only one large screen more than one person high horizontally, no one else can be seen at all.
Han Mo only felt that things were getting more and more weird, the altar was heavy, it was a place that even the nobles of the Wind Country could not easily enter, but why did the Saint Division bring a small merchant of his own with him this month?
"High priest, people bring it!" Yue Fengji said respectfully in his voice.
Han Mo frowned, it seemed that he had really brought himself to meet the High Priest of the Wind Country.
After a period of silence, I heard a soft voice coming from behind the Daodao screen: "Qingguo people are good poetry, this priest has a few words here, can you help this priest answer?" ”
Han Mo was stunned for a moment, but reacted instantly, the high priest of the Wind Country turned out to be a woman!
Accompany the family to go around for two days, the update is not good in the past two days, but the lack will be made up as soon as possible, thank you!!
