Chapter 449: The Altar Ghost
Bai Wei closed the door to thank the guests, Xiao Chuhan couldn't solve his doubts, and he had to return to Xiliang King City with Xiliang in mind.
For Yun Yao, he was willing to give trust, but for Bai Yao, he had to be wary. Surrounded by strong enemies, all he can do now is prepare desperately.
Now that he learned the truth from Xue Yin's mouth, Xiao Chuhan knew that the matter of collecting faith was very important to Yun Yao. Regardless of whether she can find the original god or not, as long as she gets enough faith power from the people, she can increase her power.
After returning to Xiliang, Xiao Chuhan was even busier than before, while ordering people to copy the medical skills and other books that Yun Yao had given him in the past, while sorting out the various production enhancement techniques that the people of Xiliang had summed up in the past year. He won't give up in Dongze and Beihuang, so he has to try again.
Yun Yao was also busier than ever. When she was on the road during the day, she returned to modern times under the cover of Xueyin and Da Niu, followed Tang Pei's people to prepare for the jewelry company, and returned to Xiliang at night to sort out the information with Xiao Chuhan.
The days were hard and busy, and finally the first batch of supplies from several states was ready to be sent over before spring ploughing, and Yun Yao was also tired and lost a lot of weight.
Fortunately, at that time, Lucy was pulled into the shares, and for the sake of Tang Pei's face, she auctioned off the sapphire necklace she designed that was originally intended to be kept as the treasure of the town store, and put the funds into the company.
Yun Yao was worried about the funds, so she cheekily took out half of the money, and turned her head and asked Vice President Wen to buy the materials needed by the Northern Wilderness.
Vice President Wen has long been unable to complain about her ability to spend money, and she carefully completed the tasks she assigned, withheld a small amount of funds and took the company's team to develop new projects, and she didn't even bother to say hello to this irresponsible big boss.
Do you really want to tell her that Yunhai Company can also make money on its own, isn't it just a blink of an eye that she will spend all its money? She also has to settle the expenses of the company's daily operation.
Yun Yao didn't care about modern affairs at all, except for occasionally calling her parents to deal with a few words, all her other energy was devoted to the task of collecting faith.
She is not as lonely as she used to be, she still has many relatives and friends in the wilderness, who knows when the white wolf will suddenly appear? If it harms itself, it's not enough, but it also has to attack other people, how can Xueyin do it alone? She was reluctant to suffer Xueyin again.
Because Xue Tianao is bold and has no heart, he promised Yun Yao a condition before, and Yun Yao set the goal of activating the next jade hook in the Northern Wilderness.
With a complete set of information sorted out by Xiao Chuhan, and ordered Ling Bo to load the hundreds of tons of materials that she and Xueyin had just transported, Yun Yao set off for the Northern Wilderness again.
This time she was treated differently than the previous two times. The temple of the goddess funded by Bai Wei has blossomed all over the Northern Wilderness, Xiao Chuhan privately asked people to print a batch of portraits of the goddess according to Yun Yao's appearance and send it over, and now I see her bringing a large number of food and means of production with her, and the people of the Great Wilderness almost worship her as a goddess, and Xueyin can clearly feel the growth of energy every day.
It's a pity that although the energy is not slow, the activation of the goddess is of no use at all, and success or failure still depends on Xue Tianao's attitude.
Yun Yao handed over the materials clearly, and after resting for a day in the Northern Wilderness King City, he entered the palace to ask to see Xue Tianao, the king of the Northern Wilderness.
Xue Tianao had been waiting for her for a long time. If she hadn't been married to Xiao Chuhan, he really wanted to match her with his eldest son. How can such an excellent girl belong to someone else's family?
Yun Yao didn't know what thoughts were hidden in his stomach at all, and after the two exchanged a few words, she said straight to the point: "Lord Xue, we agreed at the beginning, I will help you get high-yield seeds from the Northern Wilderness, and you will also promise to help me do something." ”
Xue Tianao didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then patted her chest and said, "This is nature. Not to mention that you have sent a lot of grain this time, so that the people of our northern wilderness will not be hungry before the autumn harvest, just for these medical books and agricultural books you sent me, I can also promise you any conditions. ”
"That's good!" Yun Yao was relieved now, and leaned closer to Xue Tianao's side and whispered, "I really want to ask you for help." ”
"Say whatever you want, whatever you want!" Xue Tianao became more and more satisfied with Yun Yao, and he really hated that he couldn't snatch people directly to the Northern Wilderness.
"Hehe...... Yun Yao smiled awkwardly, but still said cheekily: "You see that I am not being praised as the reincarnation of a goddess now, I think we should have a ceremony?" ”
"Rituals? What ritual? Xue Tianao didn't expect her to say this, and she was a little confused for a while.
Yun Yao let go and said cheekily: "It stands to reason that you are an elder and the king of the Northern Wilderness, my request is really a bit excessive." But it's important to me, so I'll just say it. ”
"You say." Xue Tianao waited for the following.
"That's the case, I want to hold a ceremony to worship the gods in the temple of the goddess, and I will pay the expense, you just need to do a favor, and then bring the civil and military officials to come and worship the goddess." Yun Yao was also embarrassed to ask others to bow down to herself when she was old, so she simply pulled hundreds of officials to accompany her. With so many people together, Xue Tianao's face is not so ugly.
Xue Tianao heard that she had made such a request for a long time, and suddenly waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Just such a trivial matter? It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Where can I ask you to pay for things in my Northern Wilderness? The king of gods has a lot of gold left for me, so I will take that money and sacrifice it to heaven. ”
Yun Yao was stunned, quite a little crying and laughing. It seems that there is more than one company that has intercepted the gold, and the god king has really become a big wronged person this time.
"I have a small request for this." Yun Yao hurriedly stopped him and told him that he was going to play the goddess in person, which was quite embarrassing.
Xue Tianao didn't take this seriously at all. Yun Yao helped him so much, let alone bow down, let him kneel for a day.
"What's so difficult about this, the statue of the goddess was originally made in your image, and it is best for you to play the goddess. Okay, you don't care about this matter, I'll let people arrange it. Two days, you give me two days, and I promise to do it properly. ”
Xue Tianao was an anxious man, so he immediately called the officials of the Ministry of Rites and ordered him to make every effort to prepare for the sacrifice to the sky.
Yun Yao's heart fell into her stomach, and she talked to Xue Tianao for a while, and then went back with Xue Yin.
Yun Yao closed the door when she returned to the inn, hugged Xue Yin and smiled: "Ha, I didn't expect Lord Xue to be so easy to talk to." Xueyin, wait two more days, and then you will be a seven-tailed divine fox! ”
Xueyin also clasped her hands happily and smiled: "Thank you, master!" Fortunately, you gave him so many benefits, otherwise where would people be so obedient? I hope that I will recover my mana as soon as possible, master, you will find the original god as soon as possible, and then the two of us will be invincible in the world! Hum! I must find out that white-eyed wolf, peel it, cramp it, and make it into a wolf meat hot pot! ”
Yun Yao was amused by her gritted teeth, poked at her little head, and said with a smile: "Can you eat that wolf meat?" A wolf over a thousand years old, the pressure cooker can't stew badly, right? ”
"Who said I was going to eat it? I made it into a wolf meat hot pot and poured it to feed the dogs! Xue Yin exclaimed unconvinced.
"Okay, well, feed the dog, you say feed the dog, feed the dog." Yun Yao comforted her words.
Xueyin has been too bitter in the past thousand years, no wonder she has so much resentment towards the culprit. Although she doesn't remember anything, Xueyin's enemy is also her enemy, and she will definitely share the same hatred with Xueyin.
The two rested for two days, and Xue Tianao had everything ready.
Yun Yao changed into the goddess dress sent by Xue Tianao, and after dressing up, it was as if the real goddess had come out of the portrait, and the maids who came to serve immediately knelt down and worshipped.
Afraid that Xueyin would accept the energy and appear on the spot, Yun Yao asked her to hide back in the spirit pet space, and she took the maid's hand and boarded the parade float.
Although Xue Tianao is rude, he has been the king of the Northern Wilderness for so many years, and he doesn't really understand anything. Yun Yao made such a request, obviously wanting to harvest public opinion by sacrificing to the sky, but he had already received so many benefits, so he was naturally willing to cooperate.
Beihuang prepared the most gorgeous float for Yun Yao to ride, and set off from the post house surrounded by guards, and arrived at the largest temple of goddesses in the royal city after going around the royal city.
At the beginning, the old temple that asserted that Yun Yao was the reincarnation of the goddess stood in front of the gate with a red face and welcomed Yun Yao in, and the big cow took the Xiliang guards to guard under the high platform, watching Yun Yao ascend to the high altar.
As one of the insiders, he also knew that Yun Yao's action today was of great significance, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for fear of being sabotaged.
Yun Yao was also a little nervous, but the person had already sat on the stage, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials from the Northern Wilderness standing below, as well as a large number of good men and women who came to hear the news, she definitely couldn't retreat, so she had to keep talking to Xueyin in her heart to cheer herself up.
"Don't worry, master. I'm already feeling the abundant energy at this moment, and the Heavenly Sacrifice Ritual will definitely be more effective later, so you'll see. When I grow two more tails, it won't be so hard for us to transport things into the Great Wilderness. Xueyin kept encouraging her.
"Mm-hmm, I'm not nervous. I'm afraid it won't work this time, and I don't know what to do next. Yun Yao's palms were full of sweat, but she still had to look like a compassionate goddess on her face, pretending to be really hard.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, it's a big deal to try a few more times, or it won't work here, let's go to Dongze and run again." Xueyin's heartless words finally relieved Yun Yao's nervousness.
The old temple had already started the ritual of worshipping the heavens according to the thousand-year-old tradition, and the solemn music sounded, and the crowd below stopped talking at the same time, and began to worship the goddess in an orderly manner according to his instructions.
Yun Yao looked at the crowd under the altar, reached out to hold the jade ring hanging on his chest, and his heart rose to his throat.
Outside the temple of the goddess, a woman in a black robe quietly approached. She looked at Yun Yao who was sitting alone on the high platform with resentment, and pinched out a complicated magic decision with both hands, and a black ghost figure overflowed from her fingertips, with a scream that ordinary people could not hear, and quickly approached Yun Yao.
