The main hall of the temple on the Goddess Peak——

Outside the hall was full of men, women and children who came to pray and worship, all of whom were excited at the moment, muttering words of prayer in their mouths, and looking at the sacrificial ceremony in the hall with great devotion.

A group of graceful girls with jade and ice clear, half-draped in beautiful hair, dressed in white elegant Luo shirts, knelt on the cushion in the temple, and bowed to the marble goddess statue more than 5 meters high in front of them.

However, the eyes of the believers were focused on the man in white directly in front of them, under the statue of the god.

At this moment, he is holding a golden ritual symbolizing fertility and salvation, presiding over the daily ritual on the table in front of the idol, and two priestesses with unearthly faces and compassionate faces stand beside him.

When he turned around and motioned to the kneeling maids to sing the hymn, the believers outside the temple could not help but weep.

That's Yazi~

She was commissioned by the goddess to come to the world to spread her will, and if she can get his blessing, it is worth dying!

What's more, Yazi is even more graceful than the legend, and it is the posture of an immortal that they have never seen before, which makes people worship.

The shocked Yazi has long white hair similar to Ji Yuning, but it is more slender and soft.

But the difference is that not only does he have long white hair, but even his eyebrows, skin, and even eyelashes are white. Or rather, 99% of his appearance seems to be just this color, with the exception of pink lips and eyes.

At this time, the chalcedony-like eyes crossed the blurred figure outside the hall, and looked at the overly transparent clear sky with a slight distraction, until the singing in the hall fell silent. The elf-like man who had fallen into the mortal world slowly turned around and reached out to take the magic weapon on the table.

【Bang Chang~】

"Be careful!" A small, white hand gripped his hand lightly, and the other helped him lift the overturned chalice.

"Yazi, I'll help you go to the apse to rest!" A gentle but concerned voice came from the mouth of a priestess with beautiful hair like cherry blossoms.

The man who looked like an ice sculpture pulled out his palm, and his voice did not carry a trace of warmth, "No need, thank you!" ”

With that, he put the magic weapon in front of him and slowly left.

The priestess withdrew her gaze and said to another older priest, "Sister Yu, start praying for the believers!" ”

The other party nodded, "Okay." Sakurayuki, the city lord is coming back soon, right? Do you still have to attend the sacrifice tomorrow? ”

Ji Yingxue showed a cheerful and delicate smile, "Brother has only been absent from the castle for a week, won't he see him this week?" Besides, there are so many people who pray for blessings from afar every day, I really can't bear it, even if it is for my brother's worries! ”

Priest Yu nodded approvingly, "Good sister, with you sharing the worries of the city lord and praying day and night, the goddess Sephone will definitely bless my people in Muling." ”

……

On the other side, Su Xiaoting and her entourage walked along the avenue at the foot of the Goddess Peak, not only saw many couples carrying their children together to pray for blessings, but also some elderly people pilgrimage all the way to the direction of the temple, and there were even many devout believers who knelt down on the road after walking a few steps like the Tibetans.

Until a wide flowing river appeared ahead.

There are also many makeshift tents in the open space along the riverbank, many people are cooking on fires, and some food stalls are stationed nearby.

"Xiaoting, come down, we're going to take a boat!" One of them shouted outside the car.

When Su Xiaoting heard this, she jumped out of the car neatly, looked at the clear river and couldn't help but secretly praise, this goddess county is really beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is beneficial to nature. Presumably, these people are believers who have come from afar, and they happen to be here to replenish their supplies.

"Xiaoting, walk along the Songhua River for another 2 hours to reach the City Lord's Mansion, and you can also relax and relax!"

"What do you say? Songhua River? ”

"yes? Do you know this river? ”

“…… It wouldn't have been called Jilin before, would it? "Although the Songhua River also passes through Harbin, they don't seem to be able to go that far.

"What Jilin? This place was called Mu Ling hundreds of years ago! ”

"It's nothing~" Su Xiaoting didn't dwell on it anymore, but stepped on a wooden boat docked by the river with an unknown feeling.

In the middle of the wooden boat there was a cabin, which could accommodate forty or fifty people, and the carriage was put on a special tugboat and followed.

The passenger boat sailed upstream, lining up two thin waves on the still water, and the green badge flag on the bow of the ship danced in the wind. The banks of the river are lined with dense forests, and a few foraging mallards float in the water from time to time.

After more than an hour, the population gradually became dense, and there were many more merchant ships coming and going from north to south on the river, and there was gradually a noise on the shore.

As they passed the waterway under the walls, the guarded guards removed the barricades and the ship entered the main city.

It's a pity that I can't see the face of the city in the boat, and gradually, the sound gradually stops, and I can't see any pedestrians, cars and horses along the way. Su Xiaoting guessed that this was most likely a waterway specially opened for the city lord, or a drinking canal.

Soon, I finally saw a castle made of brick and stone covering a large area, standing on a manicured grass in the oblique light.

The castle is cleverly designed, with a river behind the castle that surrounds the castle in a semicircle like a crescent spring. Their boat, as one of them said, did not take half a step and stopped directly in the special pier at the back of the castle.

There was already an old man with an extraordinary bearing who led a group of servants to wait for a long time, and when he saw Ji Yuning who got off the boat, his eyes showed a look of relief.

"Uncle Fist? Why are you coming to meet me? Ji Yuning gently supported the black-robed old man with a dignified expression and said.

"I guess you're almost there, just come over and take a look, nothing happened along the way, right?" He is in charge of Mu Ling's external affairs, business contacts, collecting intelligence, and grasping the movements of various city-states are all within his responsibility, so he naturally knows about Ji Yuning's attack~

Uncle Boxer's gaze swept over the person behind Ji Yuning, first in his heart, and then looked at Su Xiaoting quietly.

"It went well! Let's go in and talk about it~ Manager Wang, I'll leave it to you and Liu Da here. Let's go and rest for the rest. Ji Yuning instructed everyone, and went to his study with Uncle Box.

During this trip to Vladivostok, in addition to using a large amount of magic crystals, he also had more experience of the current situation, coupled with his incomprehension of the attack, which needed to be discussed with Uncle Fist and his subordinates.

"Thank you, for your hard work! Let's go to the restaurant for dinner first~" The person known as Mr. Wang was old and respectful, and greeted the rest of the people. Then he arranged for servants to assist Liu Da in carrying the goods together.

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, carried simple luggage, and followed the servants in the castle familiarly, and walked towards the restaurant.

Su Xiaoting was not specially arranged, so she followed everyone to the restaurant to eat.
