It turned out that this was the priest of the Jade Dragon Clan, Long Zhan thought that the priests were all wrinkled old women, but he didn't expect to be so young, and judging from his eyebrows, he was still a little similar to Fluttershy, could it be ......

Long Zhan subconsciously glanced at the priest's entourage again, and sure enough, standing next to her was Fluttershy, who made him unforgettable! Fluttershy is also dressed in white, and it seems that she is supposed to be the priestess's assistant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it weren't for the smell of gunpowder now, Long Zhan would have almost shouted.

I saw the priest say to the young people with the mad woman, "Put down the old grandmother." ”

The young men hurriedly put the old man down, and the old man kowtowed to the priest with tears on his face, still muttering "...... Retribution, retribution...... Doomsday ......, destruction ......"

When Laiwang saw the priest coming, his heart suddenly tightened, so he whispered a few words to Qian Yi.

Qian Yi frowned and said, "You can do this by yourself, you must start work within three days, otherwise you will be responsible for the loss." After speaking, he ignored the etiquette and walked away.

Seeing that the posture was not right, the other people present also slipped away one after another, and Long Zhan and them were quickly invited out by the guards, leaving only the patriarch and some henchmen in the spacious meeting hall.

Priest Bai Ling was still expressionless, and she didn't speak, just waiting for the patriarch to give him an explanation.

According to the rules of the Jade Dragon Clan, the priest is a divine envoy, and his main duty is to communicate between humans and gods, that is, the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world. The duty of the patriarch is to manage the daily affairs of the whole clan, and he has no say in the divine realm.

Therefore, since ancient times, the priesthood status of the Jade Dragon clan has always been higher than that of the patriarch.

However, as the number of clansmen increased, the power of the patriarch gradually expanded, and although the priests had a high status, they lacked direct influence over the clansmen because they usually lived in seclusion and only appeared during major festivals and ceremonies every year. In addition, after the gradual modernization of society, the territory of God has also shrunk a lot, and the position of priests has become a little awkward.

Bai Ling performed a six-month prayer ceremony, according to the rules of the Jade Dragon Clan, this is a great sacrifice once every ten years, and the priest must retreat in the temple for six months to pray for the blessing of the whole clan, and cannot come out in the middle.

And it was during these six months that a lot happened, first Laiwang manipulated the Presbyterian Church and passed an agreement with the Qian Group to cooperate in the development of the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

The Qian Group has always coveted the Valley of Hundred Flowers in the past two years, but the former patriarch Lai Yi sternly rejected their proposal.

However, the clan is divided into two factions, one is the refusal to cooperate led by the old patriarch Laiyi, and the other is the cooperative faction led by Zaiwang.

Laiwang's father was the patriarch before Laiyi, and he originally thought that after his father's death, this position was his own. Unexpectedly, it backfired, and his father gave up the patriarchal throne to the loyal and steady Laiyi. It's just that Laiyi became the patriarch for more than a year and died of a violent illness, and Laiwang used the power in his hands to become the current patriarch.

But when the old patriarch Laiyi was in power, Laiwang was still restrained by Laiyi's prestige. After he took over the position of patriarch, he gradually began to show his true colors.

This brought opportunities for the development project of the Qian Group, for which Qian Yi and Laiwang had many negotiations. The Qian Group offered an extremely generous price, which made many people in the upper echelons of the clan quite excited.

At this time, only the priest Bai Ling and a few upright elders guarded the bottom line, but they also became a thorn in Laiwang's side. However, the prestige of the priest was unshakable, and when he saw that it was hard to come, he began to use tricks. On the one hand, he restrained his arrogance and treated Bai Ling with respect, and on the other hand, he continued to expand his power, pulling most of the elders into his camp.

He did this only to wait for the day when the priests would retreat, and sure enough, as soon as Bai Ling entered the temple, he accelerated the negotiation process. On the day when Bai Ling came out, everything was already in the boat......

Although Bai Ling was in the temple, someone still told her about it, of course she was naturally angry, the stakes were so high, she had to go out in advance......

She had to stop it, because she knew that it was a big deal, not only for the safety of the whole family, but also for ......

Laiwang didn't expect Bai Ling to come at all, because according to normal days, there should be half a month before leaving the customs, and as soon as the project starts at that time, she can't stop it anymore.

However, since she has come out in advance now, it is a violation of the clan rules, and she can't be polite to him as the patriarch.

So when he saw Bai Ling now, he was not as respectful as before, he just bent down perfunctorily and said, "Priest Bai, I didn't expect you to get out of the customs so quickly, it's just ...... I wonder if God will blame you? ”

Bai Ling saw that he looked like a yin and yang weird look, so she didn't fight in one place, she stabilized her emotions, and said coldly: "Patriarch, if it weren't for you violating the clan rules, I wouldn't have to get out of the customs so quickly, and you should be responsible for this." ”

"Hehe, then may I ask the priest, what kind of clan rules have I violated?"

"You are knowingly asking, you have signed a contract with outsiders without permission to sell your ancestors' territory to others, this is not selling land for glory, you will be punished by God!"

"Haha, the priest is serious." He looked at a few of his cronies and said, "What time is it, damned?" I think you are suppressing your people in the name of God in order to keep your position! I have said a long time ago, my goal is to make the Jade Dragon Clan strong, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, we have such good resources, not to create wealth, is it so wasted? ”

Bai Ling trembled with anger at his words, and she said, "These riches are all given by God, and you ...... Your actions are to lure wolves into the house, not only will you destroy the Valley of Hundred Flowers, but we will all die without a place to bury! ”

Laiwang was obviously a little impatient, and said, "Don't be alarmist anymore, and tell you the truth, our decision was passed by the Council of Elders. And you went out of the customs without permission, violating the clan rules ....... ”

He said to Elder Feng, who was in charge of the clan rules around him, "According to the clan rules, how should this be handled. ”

Elder Feng, who was in charge of the clan rules, had already been dragged into the water by Lai Wang, and he rolled his eyes and said, "If you leave the customs without completing the ceremony, you have committed the crime of disrespecting the gods, and you ...... according to the law." He looked at Wang's face and said, "According to the law, you should be punished!" ”

"Presumptuous!" A bold word broke the dullness, and I saw a bearded, energetic old man arrive with some clansmen.
