Chapter 864: The High Priest is invited

The next morning, when Rana woke up, she found herself in the middle of a stone bed covered with several layers of animal skins.

"This should be Xuanli's home! How did I get back? Rana was also a little surprised.

When she walked out of the house, she saw Xuan's mother chopping wood.

"Auntie!" Rana called softly.

"Goddess Nana, you're awake!" Xuan's mother was also flustered, and hurriedly said.

"Auntie, don't call me a goddess, just call me Nana!" Rana smiled, "By the way, where did Xuan go?" ”

"Oh, that kid must have gone to the stream to get water!" Xuan's mother replied, "Nana, there is breakfast I made in the house, you can go and eat it first!" ”

"Auntie, don't you eat?"

"I'm going to chop all this firewood first, so that Ah Li can boil water and cook when he comes back!" Xuan's mother said.

Leina looked at Xuan's mother chopping firewood with a stone axe, which was very laborious, so she said, "Auntie, let me help you chop!" ”

"How can that be?" Xuan's mother hurriedly said, "How can I let Nana do such heavy work?" ”

"Don't get in the way, aunt, you can rest aside! Look at me! Rana helped Mother Xuan to the side and sat down, and began to clean up the wood herself.

Looking at the mountains of wood, Xuan's mother was also worried. "Even if it's those strong men in the tribe, it will take a day!"

Who knew that these jobs were nothing to Radium. I saw that Radium's right hand was covered with a layer of fighting energy, and with a few slashes, she threw it over, and in an instant, she split those pieces of wood into firewood.

Immediately after that, as soon as Leina's arms were forced, several strong winds directly rolled up the firewood, and in a short time, the firewood was stacked neatly.

"Auntie, it's all done! Let's go eat! Rana said as she pulled the stunned Xuanmu towards the house.

At this time, Xuan Li, who was holding two large wooden buckets of water, also rushed back, and he was also surprised to see the firewood pile at the door.

"When did Mom become so powerful, she didn't need my help to cut it all!" Xuan Li said strangely.

And when Xuanli walked into the house, he saw Lena and Xuan's mother talking happily, looking happy. He was also very pleased to see it.

"I didn't expect this Nana to get along so well with her mother!" Xuan said.

Seeing Xuan Li coming back, Xuan's mother also asked happily: "Ah Li, I heard Nana say, you worshipped the God King as a teacher, right?" ”

"That's right, Lord God King, he said that he valued my talent, so he took me as an apprentice." Xuan Li said.

"Talented? I don't see it, you stinky boy. Xuanmu smiled, "But being able to get the favor of the God King is indeed a great thing for the tribe, and you must not live up to the hopes of the God King and Nana." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Xuan Li assured loudly.

"So aunt, I will take Xuan to the 'Pangu Pagoda' to study next." "But don't worry, I'll let Xuan Li come back and reunite with you every once in a while." ”

"That's why Nana, you're bothering!" Xuan's mother hurriedly said gratefully.

"Auntie, what's the point!" Rana said politely.

"Goddess Nana, Goddess Nana!" At this moment, there was a noisy call from outside the house.

"Call me?" Rana wondered.

"Listening to their accents, it seems to be someone sent by the high priest." Xuan Li frowned and said.

"High Priest? Who is he? Rana asked curiously, "It seems that I didn't see anyone else at the tribal meeting yesterday!" ”

"How so? He's an extremely annoying guy, but he can't get rid of him. Xuan Li said angrily, "Ahh ”

Xuan Li's head was knocked heavily by Xuan's mother on the side.

"You kid, you don't speak lightly. Does anyone say that about the high priest? Xuan's mother reprimanded.

"But Mom, I'm telling the truth!" Xuan Li hurriedly defended, "This high priest usually doesn't give birth, and he is chattering all day long. I often come up with bad ideas. You see, isn't he the one who made up the matter of the living sacrifice? ”

"Whatever one may say, this high priest is an important figure in our tribe. Even the patriarch had to pay him three points. Xuan's mother said, "You offended him, be careful of his revenge!" ”

While the three were talking, the high priest's men had come to them and knelt down in front of Radia with great respect.

"On behalf of the High Priest, I invite you to the welcome he has convened for you." One of his subordinates said.

"Welcome party? Didn't you already drive it yesterday? Rana frowned and said, "This meeting is held every day, and it doesn't seem to be too interesting!" ”

"Goddess Nana doesn't know anything." The subordinate said, "The High Priest just wants to see the Goddess, he happened to be in the tribe yesterday. Today he is back and of course would like to invite you over. And he prepared the last dish of the tribe, please be sure to enjoy it. ”

"Food?" Radina's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around and asked Xuan Lidao, "Is this high priest delicious?" ”

"They didn't tell a lie. The tributes made by this high priest were indeed popular. Xuan Lidao, "It's just ......"

"It's delicious!" Without waiting for Xuanli to finish speaking, Leina agreed, "Then Xuanli, you go with me!" ”

"This ......," said the men, with some embarrassment, "the high priest only said that the goddess Nana should go alone, but did not invite the others!" ”

"That's it! Then I'm not going! Rana decisively refused.

"That's not going to work!" Those people hurriedly said, "If you don't go, the high priest will blame you, and we can't afford to take it!" ”

"That's your business, it's none of my business." Rana said domineeringly, "Anyway, wherever Xuan leaves, I'll go." ”

"Alright then!" The leader said reluctantly.

So these men led Lena and Xuanli to the place where the high priest was.

Although the Dragon Tribe is not a big tribe, it is even a little stretched in terms of material reserves. But strangely enough, the place where the high priest was, as we might call it, the temple, did seem to be somewhat out of place with the poverty around it.

The temple was actually made of huge stones, although it didn't look very beautiful because primitive societies didn't have technology. But that momentum was a little awe-inspiring.

These things caught Radina's attention, and she whispered to Xuan Li, who was beside her, "What's going on?" Yesterday I saw that the village was so poor, but why does this temple seem to be very rich. ”

"That's why the people in the village hate the high priest." Xuan Li said, "In fact, as long as the weather is good, our hunting group will still have a considerable harvest when they go out. But the problem is that a large part of the prey we have acquired has been plundered by the High Priest and their men. ”

"Why?" Rana asked curiously, "Could it be that they contribute more?" ”

"Not really." Xuan Li said disdainfully, "In my opinion, they have nothing to do all day long, where do they contribute. ”

"Then why are you giving them things?" Rana wondered.

"If you don't give it, you can't do it! This is what our ancestors have handed down. Xuan Li explained, "It is said that only by giving each high priest a certain amount of sacrifice according to the regulations can he be protected by God." ”

"I think they're just charlatans." Rana said.

"What is a charlatan?" Xuan Li asked.

"It's just a guy who only relies on one mouth and always gets something for nothing." Rana replied.

"That's right, Nana, you're right. They're just a bunch of charlatans. Xuan Li said loudly.

"Xuanli, who are you talking about being a liar?" Suddenly, an old and majestic voice came from behind Xuan Li.

Xuan Li hurriedly turned around, only to see an old man with a rickety body, a ghost mask, and a wooden crutch in his hand walking in front of the two with several people.

"High Priest!" Xuan Li was also taken aback.

"I'll be looking for you to settle accounts later." The high priest said coldly. Then he turned his head to Radium and asked, "Are you the goddess Nana?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Rana wondered.

"Goddess Nana, please take me a bow!" Without warning, the high priest led the crowd to her knees at once, which really startled Rana away.

Although Rana felt uncomfortable, but the other party was so polite, Radium still reluctantly said: "Okay, don't be so polite." ”

"Yes, I happened to be absent yesterday and neglected the goddess. Please the Goddess to atone for her sins. The high priest said respectfully.

The appearance of the high priest made Xuan Li a little surprised. "This high priest, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Xuan Xuan said in the dark.

"Actually, I left the tribe and lost the red fruit harvest." The high priest said.

"What's the red fruit?" Rana wondered.

"The red fruit is said to be the fruit that blooms and bears fruit every three thousand years! It's so precious! The high priest said matter-of-factly.

"Three thousand years?" Radium couldn't help frowning, and said in her heart, "You humans, it would only be a hundred years since you created you, if it weren't for the purpose of accelerating your evolution, Brother Xi used some means. Otherwise, you may not even know how to use the tools? What three thousand years, what a liar. ”

But Rana thought so in her heart, and said, "Then I want to see it!" ”

"Very well, goddess, look!" The high priest clapped his hands as he spoke, and in an instant there were many attendants holding a huge wooden tray, covered with fresh lotus leaves, bulging with some idea.
