Chapter 34: The Succession of the Celebrants

Because he knew that the priest of the spring valley was going to take the gold, silver and peacock fruit to the priest of the cold spring.

The cold spring priest had a cough. Although the Holy Light can cure all diseases, there are sequelae of using the Holy Light to heal - that is, if you are injured or sick again in the future, it will take more and stronger Holy Light to heal, so in non-urgent and non-essential cases, Temple Priests generally do not use Holy Light to heal.

Fortunately, there were three peacock trees in the garden, and the peacock berries on the other two trees were still there, and the priest of Izumiya had a slightly better face, otherwise he thought that he might be expelled from the temple immediately.

Since then, he has strengthened the management of the botanical garden, especially the naughty students, as soon as they enter the garden, he personally watches them.

A few days ago, the boy of the old priest of Shanguang came to pick bitter cherries and mysterious fruits, and came over with small half-blue fruits to complain: "Why is there so little fruit this year? It is not more than half of last year." Are you lazy and didn't fertilize or didn't prune? There are only a few ripe fruits, and there are not many green fruits hanging on the branches, so you can't pick them a few times. ”

The old priest of Silent Light is the same generation as the previous high priest, although he is currently honored, but his seniority is respected. He is an old man and sleeps less, so he likes to eat this bitter cherry to treat insomnia. The bitter cherries and mysterious fruits in this garden can be said to have been planted especially for his old man's family.

He was sweating profusely for a while.

After that, he stayed in the garden all day, not daring to let up for a moment.

In order to better monitor the movements in the garden, he also asked the priest for a few "alarm" Gollum stones, which were placed next to the more precious plants, and whenever someone approached, the strange stones would be alarmed, and he could know immediately.

Today, I saw that I was pitiful, and I finally let myself find this thief who fell from the sky!

"Are you sure it ate it?" Jia Rong chuckled in his heart, although he was still asking questions in his mouth, he believed the other party's complaint in his heart.

I was negligent before, and Winged Rabbit would bring things back every time I went out, but I didn't think about where these things came from.

For example, the peacock fruit is quite large, and it is impossible for the winged rabbit to be picked up from a long distance. The origin of the mysterious fruit and bitter cherry is separated by a sunset strait, and the winged rabbit can pick them back together, someone must have planted them on purpose.

If there is a place nearby where a lot of exotic flowers and plants are grown, then the most likely place is the temple's botanical garden.

"If it's really what it eats, I'm responsible for compensation. You give me a list. "Jiarong decided to be a responsible owner, even if he lost all his money for it.

After all, those fruits have been eaten by themselves, and after sharing the blessings, there will be hardships together.

"Of course, compensation must be paid, but this habitual thief must also be handed over to me to deal with. Seeing that Jiarong didn't mean to hand over the winged rabbit, the black-clothed deacon reached out and grabbed it himself.

"No, I promise to take care of it and not let it come back to the Botanical Gardens in the future. Jiarong hugged the winged rabbit and dodged a step.

"Hand it over, don't force me to do it. Otherwise, I will tell the High Priest that you let the Winged Rabbit come to the garden to steal things, and that you were waiting outside the garden when I chased you out. ”

"I didn't. I believe the high priest was a man of reason. Jiarong looked at the deacon with a fierce expression in front of him and did not back down.

"If you don't hand it over, I'll arrest it myself, if you dare to resist and dare to do something with me, I'll say you attacked me. The black-clad deacon took a step forward.

Before he put on the black clothes, he was also a student of the academy, so he was naturally familiar with the situation of the academy, most of the names and surnames he knew, and those he didn't know had also heard of it.

The short-haired wild girl in front of him, although he had only been here for a short time, had also heard that she was an orphan from the island. He didn't believe that such a wild girl with no family background and no background dared to do it with him. Assaulting a clergy in a temple is a serious offense.

Jiarong took another step back. What should I do? The black-clothed deacon is so aggressive that the Winged Rabbit naturally can't be handed over to him, or he can't run away with the Winged Rabbit himself? No, in that case, he will have a solid reputation for "stealing".

It's true that you're negligent, but you don't instigate the Winged Rabbit to steal.

It's better to take the winged rabbit to the high priest and turn himself in, as for how much to pay at that time, as much as he should pay. If the high priest also wants to punish the winged rabbit, he will run away with it himself.

Just when Jiarong was forced by the black-clothed deacon to keep retreating, a voice came from the side: "Is there something wrong?"

Jiarong saw the step-priest coming from the path next to him planted with golden elms.

The young black-clad deacon trotted to the succession priest, bowed, and recounted the matter. Except for saying that he chased him out and saw Jiarong and others here and wanted to escape with the winged rabbit, there was not much difference.

"It's true that I didn't take care of my pet, but I didn't ask it to come to the garden to pick things, I never went into the botanical garden, and I didn't know what was in the garden. Jia Rong protested.

Jixing listened quietly to what the two of them said, then nodded, and looked at the black-clothed deacon with his eyes that were always sleepy: "It's not difficult to find out. It's only been a month since she's been at the temple, and I can see the footprints and figures of the entire botanical garden in and around the past two months, so I can naturally know who has been here and who hasn't, and who has done what. But then it's going to be a big deal, and the impact could be huge, do you really want to do that?"

The black-clothed deacon looked at Jixing and didn't dare to nod.

If the footprints and figures of the past two months have appeared, the plant thief will naturally be able to find it, but if the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out, what if some things that cannot be made public are revealed?

For example, this botanical garden and its surroundings are lush and a great place for a tryst.

For example, when you are in the garden, you can occasionally pull some herbs and eat a few fruits - of course, you won't pick those rare and precious ones, and what should you do when you can see them clearly?

Seeing that the young black-clothed deacon didn't dare to nod, Jixing smiled: "Either way, you make a list for me to see, how much should she pay for missing those things." Leave this man and the rabbit to me. ”

"Yes. Since the step-by-priest had opened his mouth, the black-clothed deacon, of course, could only nod in agreement. What's more, he only asked for an explanation. To snatch the winged rabbit was originally just to vent his anger.

"Follow me. Jixing glanced at Jiarong, and then left.

Jiarong followed behind Jixing, watching him walk slowly, and after a while took out a handful of millet from his pocket and fed it to the birds.

He seemed to have fed the birds, and he was not afraid of anyone at all when he saw him flying down from the treetops, and one of them even stopped on the palm of his hand.

He followed the priest to his small building and saw that the young black-clothed deacon was already waiting at the gate.
