Chapter 6: The Sacrifice of the Birds

"Why should the high priest be polite, he came alone today, but he asked for something."

Di Xin did not assert his identity, but humbly helped him up.

In the entire Yin Shang and even more ancient times, although the position of high priest was not very managed, and the power was not too great, but the status was second only to the transcendent existence of the human emperor, even the prince was inferior.

Even when sacrificing, even the emperor has to give three points.

"I wonder what the king is about?"

The high priest got up and asked with some doubts, and then reacted that this didn't seem to be what he should ask, so he hurriedly added: "As long as it doesn't endanger the interests of the big merchants, the old man will complete it even if he is broken to pieces." ”

Di Xin smiled indifferently, and said a little helplessly: "The high priest should feel it, right?" The lonely merchant is dying......"

The High Priest was silent.

Seeing this, Di Xin didn't care, but continued: "When Lone took over the throne, the entire Great Shang was already on the verge of destruction. ”

The high priest opened his mouth, but did not speak.

I only heard Di Xin continue: "However...... Lonely and unwilling! As a lone with world-class force and resourcefulness, he didn't want to see my great business fall like this, so Lone raised an army externally, established his prestige among the eight hundred princes, repaired politics internally, and continued his qi in reform...... However, one wrong step leads to today's mistakes. ”

Hearing Di Sin's words, the high priest seemed to remember the old days.

Back then, when he assisted Di Yi, in the face of the decline of the big merchants, he could only be powerless.

Originally, he had given up, but Di Xin's wisdom and martial arts gave him a glimmer of hope.

At that time, Di Xin, with his outstanding wisdom and invincible force in the world, forcibly regained a few points of the great merchant's qi and made him maneuver.

Gradually, however, he found that Di Xin had changed, and he had become more proud, always thinking that he was right, and that everything was in the process of being heard.

For the erosive royal family, they have relaxed their vigilance.

He had reminded Di Xin more than once to be careful of Bi Gan and Wei Ziqi and others, but Di Xin never cared, which made him worried.

Sure enough, Bigan and Wei Ziqi and others still betrayed Dashang for their own interests after all, so that they reached the point where they are now.

Thinking of this, the high priest couldn't help but comfort him: "This is the fault of the royal family, not the fault of the king. ”

"The high priest does not need to persuade me, right is right, wrong is wrong, and Lone will not do the treacherous thing of shirking responsibility."

Di Xin shook his head and said, "Dashang is doomed, and Gu and Daji have also decided to live and die with the country, but Gu's newborn child is different. ”

Speaking of this, Di Xin's whole person became excited, he reached out and grabbed the high priest's shoulders, and said with some sadness: "He has just been born, and he has not seen this splendid red dust, Gu wants to let him live, at least experience the prosperity of the world, and ask the high priest to help Gu, help Gu's poor child!" ”

In the words, there was a trace of crying trill, and for a while, the high priest only felt mixed tastes, and there was an inexplicable sadness.

Holding back the complicated emotions in his heart, the high priest smiled bitterly: "King, the old man has nothing to do about the little prince. As the high priest of Yin Shang, the old man has already practiced with the country, and if the big merchant dies, the old man will inevitably die, how can he keep the little son? ”

As if he had expected the high priest to say this, Di Xin hurriedly said his thoughts.

"The Sacrifice of the Birds! Lone and Daji can use the bloodline to open the sacrifice of the Xuanniao, burn the fortune of the country to activate the spirit of the Xuanniao, and activate the origin of the Xuanniao with the Nirvana Divine Power of the Phoenix Clan carried by the Xuanniao itself, so that the lonely child is in the gap of time and space, and then pretends to be on top of a thing, so that a life can naturally be saved. ”

Di Xin's words were urgent, but there was a sparkle of hope in his eyes, and there was some caution in his eyes when he looked at the high priest, as if he was tempting.

He knew how harsh the conditions were required to open the Xuanniao Sacrifice, and he also knew the impact of opening it, which was why he was so worried, for fear that he would be rejected by the high priest.

"Oh no, my lord!"

Sure enough, as soon as Di Xin's words fell, the high priest immediately stopped in a panic: "The gap between time and space is different from the time flow rate of the outside world, if the sacrifice of the Xuanniao is performed, then before the little prince reappears in this world, the qi of the entire Great Shang will be isolated, and there will be no chance of prosperity." If it is isolated for a long time, the inheritance of the great merchant may even be severed! Please think twice! ”

"High Priest, I naturally understand this, the death of the country is imminent, and it is nothing to perform the sacrifice of the Xuanniao."

Di Xin was a little unwilling, because the sacrifice could only be led by the priest, and the most important sacrifice like the Xuanniao Sacrifice needed to be led by the priest who had reached the realm of ghosts and immortals, so he could only try to comfort the high priest, the only one among the great merchant priests.

"Moreover, as long as he is alive, the inheritance of the Great Shang will not be broken, and it is even possible for it to flourish again, which can be regarded as a backhand of my Great Shang!"

The high priest shook his head and retorted: "The death of the country is imminent, and it is not impossible to use the sacrifice of the Xuanniao, but why not let Gongzi Wu Geng come?" Compared with the newly born son, Wu Geng's son is more suitable for existence as a backhand, right? ”

"High Priest!!"

Di Xin frowned, and said in a somewhat stern tone: "I hope you can understand the choice made by Gu as a father." ”

"Yes, Lone knows that Wu Geng is indeed more suitable to be arranged as a backhand, but don't forget, as a prince of the Great Shang who is visible in front of people and is well known to everyone, if he is not under the noses of Xiqi's people, then Xiqi will rest assured?"

"Wu Geng is an adult after all, and he has already experienced the prosperity of the world, and the people of Xiqi will not treat him too badly in order to win people's hearts, at least his life will definitely be saved, but Hao'er he has just been born......"

Speaking of this, Di Xin was inexplicably a little sad, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said incoherently: "Just ...... Even if it's lonely, no, even if I beg you! ”

At this moment, no matter what kind of evaluation Di Xin has in later generations, at least, he is qualified as a father.

"No! Don't be a king! The king has killed the old man, please get up quickly, please get up quickly. ”

Seeing the man who usually looked like a god kneeling, the high priest almost jumped up in fright, and called out in his mouth, and even more panicked helped Di Xin up, and admitted: "Old man...... I see. This prepares the sacrifice of the Xuanniao for the king. ”
