The polite and neutral attitude made the four of them breathe a sigh of relief, and approached the great priest and sat down left and right. Liu Shenghan glanced at the staff in his hand and found that it was just an ordinary ruby, at most it was a little special in shape and color, set on the staff, like a blood-red eye. The robe on his body is also more complicated than that of ordinary priests, and it is also black and black, but the red lines embroidered on the cuffs, placket and hem are much finer, intertwined, lining the original simple black robe to show a gorgeous and solemn appearance. Besides, he had an extra cloak, but it wasn't a good thing to talk about.

The patterns resembled long snakes or vines in the forest, and they could not see clearly, nor could they stare at them, so they each looked away and sat down, and when the high priest had also sat down, they cast their eyes on each other's faces. Perhaps it is the difference between the Nine Heavens Kingdom and his homeland, his facial features are deeper and three-dimensional, and his eyes reflect the dancing candle flames, which is also lighter than that of his hometown. He had sword eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, and a mole dotted at the end of his narrow eye on the right side, but there was nothing unique about it; The appearance can be called Zhou Zheng, but in the eyes of a few people who have seen many gods and monsters, there is no special perception.

Now, they didn't think the Grand Priest was anything suspicious. Although I don't know him well enough, I can't completely put my heart in my stomach in the face of him. But this is the breath of human beings, which allows them to relax somewhat. Except that his smile was a little deliberate, as if he had brought a mask, he was polite and estranged like a businessman.

The great priest was not as domineering as those gods, and after asking a few people before dinner, he sent the priest who had sent them to the back kitchen to serve more food. Of course, he didn't invite them in for dinner, and while waiting, he briefly asked about the identities of the four people and introduced himself. The four of them learned that his surname was Chu, his name was Tianqi, and he was the chief priest of the upper echelons of this temple. The outer villages were also under the shelter of the temple, so he was quite famous here.

Bai Ya asked, is the god enshrined here also one of the main gods of the Nine Heavens Kingdom?

Chu Tianyan stared at him for a while, bowing slightly.

"Not bad. I can see that even though you are guests from afar, you know the Kingdom of the Nine Heavens. However, if there are any doubts, they can also be raised, and there is no need to scruple. ”

The sound of the door being pushed open interrupted the conversation for a moment. Several priests brought their own dishes, and the hot aroma made the appetite of several people who had been walking in the wilderness for days move their appetites. When the bowls were served, the shrine maiden helped them clean their hands, and then they offered small bowls to each of them.

The food is naturally not as good as that in the Xiangji Palace, and most of it is grilled meat. Some of the melons and fruits they had eaten these days were also roasted over the fire and dotted on the edges of the plate. In the fragrant soup, some pieces of meat with simmered and soft scales are arranged in a twisted shape, like the tail of a dragon, probably caught in the swamp. The most special thing is a turtle-like object, which has been cut up and placed in a container that is half a plate and half a bowl. If you look closely, you can see that it has a sharp beak like an eagle, its head, neck and limbs are covered with hard scales, but its back armor is translucent, looking like gelatin. Qi Huan tasted it first, and the turtle shell was soft and glutinous, reminding him of the rumored fish that he had heard about cooking in his hometown palace.

He did not hesitate to praise a few words, thanked the great priest for his hospitality, and naturally returned to the topic that Bai Ya had not finished talking about.

"I see that you are a kind man, unlike God elsewhere, who is extremely inhospitable. I think that the god you worship is also powerful and compassionate. I wonder which god is blessing here? ”

"It's a long story." Chu Tianyan barely moved his hands, and ate very slowly, Qi Huan secretly guessed that this priest might have eaten, but just accompanied them, "This is the place where the python god sleeps." In ancient times, the python god was originally an evil god, bloodthirsty and killing, and was finally shocked by a woman and sealed here. ”

Qi Huan was a little interested: "A woman? What kind of woman is it? ”

"There is no legend about it. Come to think of it, it's something different. ”

"I'm curious, no offense...... If you are an evil god, why is it worshipped in your temple? Liu Shenghan joined the conversation.

Legend has it that the woman made an agreement with the python god to build a temple in his resting place and worship it for a long time. She has since left and has not been heard from again. The power of incense and faith soothed the wrath of the python god, and he fell into a peaceful sleep and began to envelop the land with a peaceful spirit and spiritual power. ”

Bai Ya, who asked the question at the beginning, didn't say anything, but when he heard this, he thought for a moment, but he didn't have much doubt. It's not that it doesn't make sense, no one says that evil gods can't change their nature. Moreover, it has been circulating for many years, and the rumors have changed, but Bai Ya knows best.

At this moment, Qi Huan swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then said, "This place is very special. Although there are some ...... with the outside world Gap, unlike big towns, but there is no monarchy. I think everyone is very relaxed and living quite freely. ”

"That's true. This is the forgotten land. This was not an optimistic evaluation at first glance, but for some reason, Chu Tianyan's face showed a touch of arrogance, "Only the lost come here under the guidance of God, and there is no one else to interfere with it, but we are like fish in water." ”

Lost? So what is it exactly?

This is the third time I've heard this word here, and Liu Shenghan can't help but ask: "Lost...... But do you mean us general, lost travelers here? ”

Chu Tianyan thought for a while, and seemed to be organizing the language so that he could explain it to her.

"Yes, not quite. It is inhabited by people who are not recognized by the outside world, and who feel confused about their beliefs and even their own existence. Some of them have suffered or been maled by heaven, mutilated, or broken-hearted. Some people were ostracized, some were exiled, and some even youkai were expelled for being friendly to humans. Others are just unique, insisting on themselves, perhaps without harming others or suffering, but still out of step with the mediocrity around them...... All of these people can be guided and sheltered here. ”

"The body of the python god is sealed in this land, but his spirit will not be imprisoned. The same is true of His will—to transcend all shackles. The python god accepts all those who want to change the past and gives them complete freedom. Within his realm, we are not bound by the world. Everyone is different, we are all lost, so we are all the same, and we all find our home here. ”

"Some people hear the rumors and yearn for it; Some people get lost on the road and stumble into them. As long as they step into this forest, they will all sense the call of the underworld, and follow the guidance of the python god to this free forgotten place. Chu Tianyan concluded, half-truthfully and half-truthfully, "Perhaps, it is also God's will that you can find it in the vast swamp. That's why I'm different from some of the oracles you've encountered. After all, you are not only my guests, but also my deities, and I would welcome you here. ”

This was said politely, and the four of them got off the donkey down the slope to express their gratitude and praise. Bai Ya suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked a question to the great priest.

"Where are you...... Is there one named Baisha and one named Jun Chaojiu? ”

"This ......," Chu Tianyan thought for a moment, "Some people come here, or forget or abandon their names, which cannot be found by their names alone, and even some people even leave behind their past identities. Why don't you go into more detail? ”

Jun Aoyan also reacted. So the two of them described the people they were looking for in vivid words, especially the steel arm of Baisha. But after they finished speaking, Chu Tianyan just shook his head and told them that there were neither people with weapons as arms here, nor soldiers with sound limbs. As for the identities of the two, they just explained that these two were people who had been separated from them, and they didn't say anything in more detail.

Chu Tianyan promised them that if there was any new news, he would definitely tell them. It may be polite, but it is much more polite than that of other so-called gods. For a time, the party was harmonious, and the guests and hosts were happy. At that moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Enter."

“…… Ah, you're entertaining guests, and I'm recklessly disturbing you. Let's take a step ahead, and when you're done, I'll be—"

"Stop!"

Bai Ya recognized the person long before the smooth voice sounded, and at this time, Huo Ran got up and said coldly to the monster who was about to shrink his head at the door. Peaceful? is really worthy of his identity as a snake demon, he can bend and stretch without leaving his hand, seeing that there is no way to avoid it, he is not embarrassed to smile at Bai Ya, and his cold snake eyes swept over several people who looked at him angrily:

"I can't imagine it, you're all still alive, amazing, admire."

It's harsh no matter how you hear it.

Chu Tianyan sensed the smell of gunpowder between the two sides, and spoke in time: "How many people know?" It's better to sit down together, sit down if you have anything to say, and speak slowly. ”

"Don't, we can't talk together. Look at the eyes of these people, you want to eat me alive, your banquet dishes are rich enough, I don't want to make a supernatal meal. ”

Peaceful? Talking and laughing, the expression is obviously not very pleasant. He decisively slammed the door shut before Bai Ya became angry, and just slipped away.

Bai Ya was about to chase after him, but Chu Tianyan stood up and pressed heavily on his shoulder, obviously not allowed. From the words of the snake demon, Bai Ya could naturally hear that he was an acquaintance of the temple, and he was only going to be in trouble when this great priest was going to attack. He was weighing and turning his face, and Chu Tianyan sat down first, his tone still calm.

"Eat first, you speak slowly and listen to me."

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, besides, since they bumped into it, they are not afraid of Yan? I ran away in one fell swoop. Bai Ya held his breath and went smoothly, sat back in place, and Qi Huan next to him also explained to the great priest:

"My brother has a bad temper, but I don't blame him, we all have some opinions about your guests. I didn't fight on the spot, but I was really hospitalized, and for your sake, I just put a truce for the time being. ”

Qi Huan is quipping tone, Chu Tianyan didn't care, and answered his words: "This face is enough, I wrote it down." Just Yan? He has been stationed here for many years, and he is considered a reliable person. Is there any misunderstanding between you? ”

"To say that it was a misunderstanding, it was really reluctant." Qi Huan smiled bitterly sincerely, "I just met him earlier, and we were also polite. He was fine, and took us straight into the ditch and threw it to one of his friends, who nearly killed us and robbed us of our valuables......"

"Something valuable?"

"Well, it's something of value. Anyway, thanks to this guy, we suffered a lot and almost died. No, the road is narrow, you said that we met with him, can we not fight? ”

"There is such a thing." Chu Tianyan touched his chin and frowned slightly. It seems that he is also quite dissatisfied with these things, but since the authenticity needs to be verified, he does not dare to attack it. Qi Huan and Jun Aoyan picked and chose again, sorted out the truth of the matter, and said a rough idea, and the great priest also listened to it in his heart, sometimes showing worry, sometimes nodding in agreement.

During the banquet, only Bai Ya and Liu Sheng were silent, eating quietly, as if they were thinking about their own affairs.
