Chapter 272: Hurius

readx;

Tana pulled out a projectile and threw it into the air, sending a whistle smoke into the air. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚iqugeใ€‚ info Chengying knew that this was the letter smoke used for communication on the grassland.

A short time later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate. Hu Rius said in a loud voice: "Is it really His Royal Highness the Holy Son from the Snow Mountain?"

Tana nervously said, "Can't you just be quiet?"

Hurius smiled apologetically at Tana. When everyone approached, he stretched out his hand and pressed Asgen's neck and said, "Come, and join the teacher to salute His Highness the Holy Son!"

"What does this mean?" Rufeng said hurriedly: "He...... It's also the son of God!"

"That's right, but first it's my disciple, and then it's the seventh son, what do you think?"

Rufeng shrank his neck and said, "Okay, whatever you want." I can tell you, you are bullying the Son of God in disguise!" Rufeng thought secretly, isn't this embarrassing for my Royal Highness?

Hurius retracted his hand and said with a smile: "High Priest Hurius, I have seen His Highness!"

Chengying stretched out his hand to help him and said: "In extraordinary times, Mr. does not have to be formal!"

"Your king, has always been good?"

Ru Fengqi said: "Have you seen the king?"

"I've seen, I've seen. Hurius said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I pulled shit on the grassland, and a cloud suddenly rained and wet my buttocks. I was weird, so I moved forward, and the cloud just chased after me. Then someone coughed in the cloud, and I sat down on the ground in fright......"

Rufeng felt that this high priest was simply ...... What's the matter? Fortunately, no one could see her blushing face, and no one cared about a red-faced eagle.

"Later, I learned that the Ice King always wanders away from the world in different forms. It's a pity that he's seen me with my bare ass, but I don't know anything about him. Fortunately, seeing His Royal Highness the Holy Son today is half of my wish. I wonder if the Holy Son has ever seen the King of Ice and Snow?"

Rufeng hurriedly said: "Of course, the Holy Son is the king's disciple!"

"Oops, it's the old man who is rude, come into the house, take a seat!"

Chengying was strange, in the eyes of this priest, it seemed that he didn't care about the name of the Son of God, and seemed to have more feelings for the Ice King. "Senior, do you have a relationship with my Ice and Snow Clan?"

Hurius said proudly: "The story between me and the Ice and Snow Clan, if I tell it, I can't finish it in three days and three nights." โ€

Rufeng responded: "Then talk about one." โ€

"You're very clever, hahaha, good, good, just talk about one. Hurius said slowly: "At that time, I was still young, and as a priest, I took the position of high priest under the recommendation of the elders of all the tribes of the steppe. What could a high priest do? I didn't know at the time, only that I could communicate with all the creatures of the steppe. What I didn't expect was that I would become a high priest and communicate with heaven and earth. โ€

Tomorrow Wusi looked nostalgic and said: "That year, the drought on the grassland was terrible, and many cattle and sheep died. However, the priests of the tribes did not work in asking for rain, so each tribe elected a priest to be the high priest to pray for rain. I didn't know what to ask for rain? I stood in the scorching sun with my staff in my arms for a day, and at night, I continued to sleep with my staff. I couldn't sleep and began to think crankily, so many priests on the grassland begged for rain, why could I do it? In the past, I was the rain god who begged for rain, and I thought, even if I was the rain god, I would be annoyed by them, maybe the rain god was sleeping like me. When I woke up, I found that it was cold underneath my buttocks, and I suddenly remembered the cloud. โ€

"The next day I continued the day with my staff in my hand, and all I could think about was the clouds. God is weird, you never know which cloud will make it rain. On the third day, the sky was still clear, but a small white cloud drifted in from the west. I couldn't be happier......"

Rufeng hurriedly said: "It's raining?"

"When it fell, the white clouds seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and there was no lightning and thunder, but the drizzle kept falling. ๆˆ‘ๅฟƒ้‡Œ้‚ฃไธชไนๅ•Š๏ผŒๆˆ‘ๅฏน็€้‚ฃ็‰‡ๅฆ‚ๅŒ้ฎ่”ฝไบ†ๆ•ดไธช่‰ๅŽŸ็š„ไบ‘่ทชไธ‹ๆฅ๏ผŒๅ•ฅไนŸไธ่ฏด๏ผŒๅชๆ˜ฏๅ‚ปไน๏ผŒๅฏๆ˜ฏๆ‰€ๆœ‰ๆˆ‘็œ‹ๅˆฐ็š„ไบบ้ƒฝๅœจๅ“ญใ€‚ It was a beautiful scene, and it was the happiest day of my life. โ€

Rufeng said with a smile: "The king doesn't care so much, it must be because you are too out of tune." โ€

Tomorrow Wusi said: "It's possible, anyway, I can't guess the mind of that cloud in my life." โ€

"What about later?" Ru Fengqi said: "You don't want to ask for rain, our king will come to bring you rain." โ€

"Why, once I had a dream, and that little cloud made a bet with me. He said that if I could build a tree canal in the grassland from east to west, I would no longer need to ask for rain. โ€

"Is the canal finished?"

"Of course, it took more than 100 years to finally build that dragon-like canal across the grassland. You don't know what a tree canal is, but under this flat grassland, I don't know how many dark rivers have branched out from that canal. At the end of the 3,000 years, there was no rain for decades, and the grassland was still as warm as ever, which was all due to the dark river. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the steppe regard the tree canal as the lifeblood of the steppe people. โ€

"Anything else? Rufeng instigated.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business. Chengying Zhengse said: "Senior, if you want to capture Wild Horse City, what good idea do you have?"

"What good ideas can I have? If I don't have any money, I'm the only one who will come out. โ€

"The underground dark river that my predecessor just said, I want to know if there is a conflict with the big array of Wild Horse City?"

"Why, the water in the cities comes from the Dark River, which is the ice spring water flowing down from the Western Ice Field...... Belch...... What do you mean......" Hurius said suddenly: "Enter from the dark river, and the inside should be combined with the outside?"

"Yes, although the underworld is in the city, who else can compare to his predecessors in terms of understanding of the dark river?"

"This is true, at the beginning of the construction of each city, I have seen all the drawings. Except for the Divine Pastoral City with the Phantom Array, everything else is in my head. The dark river enters the city dozens of zhang, and there is a deep well in each of the eight directions in the city. The wells in the city are only allowed to draw water once before dawn, because that is the time when the water is coolest and the water is the best ......."

"Senior, can you enter the Dark River smoothly?"

"Of course it won't go well, and there is a passage above all the rivers at intervals for repairs. It was possible to enter, but the water in the dark river was too cold, and if you entered it too far, the blood would freeze when you stayed in the city. However, this is not difficult, there is a kind of awakening blood grass on the grassland, the color is red, the taste is spicy, you can drink it every half an hour. But you can't drink it without anything, or you'll bleed to death. โ€

Ru Fengqi said: "Isn't blood boiling a disease?"

"That's right, that's the kind of disease that only livestock that eats the weeds by mistake. Fortunately, large creatures can survive it, but the demons have a weak physique, how can they survive?"

Chengying worried: "There is no better way?"

"It's a good idea, but it's a lack of virtue for the underworld. โ€

Rufeng said disdainfully: "Do you still expect the underworld to erect a monument for you?"

Hurius was not angry, and said angrily: "That's not it, I think that when the living beings in this world die, even if they are livestock, they are no different. It's better to suffer less pain. The magic of witchcraft is too vicious, and if you really want to use it, you always feel that it will provoke the power of rules, which is not good. I can bear it, for the sake of my people, although I am still honored. But what if it causes another tribulation?"

Rufeng was stunned and said, "Is it so serious?"

Hurius nodded, and thought again: "But...... There is another spell, although it is not disgraceful, but it will not be instantly fatal, and there is no need to worry about the consequences of infection to the clansmen. โ€

"What's that?"

"Cloud bee magic. Originally, these small means were only used to drive out the demon beasts in the mountains, but now they can mess up the morale of the army. โ€

"You can't kill people, how can you mess with the morale of the army?"

"In the eyes of the underworld, those who are greeted by the cloud bee technique are considered dead. It's just that after a day, those people will wake up. โ€

"It's fun, it's fun, that's it!" Rufeng said happily.

"That's it?" asked Hurius with a smile.

"Well, that's it! When they all come back to life and find out that they are prisoners, how much fun?"

"However, this kind of spell is much weaker for cultivators, and it only restricts them from being able to cast spells for a short period of time. โ€

"That's enough. Chengying nodded and said: "Seniors must pay attention when casting spells, before the army of the underworld goes out of the city, it is necessary to ensure that the wild horses can make a move." Chengying hesitated again: "Can ...... The seniors had to make sure it wasn't dark sorcery. โ€

"How is that possible? Hurius said solemnly: "However, any witchcraft may have backlash, so I still entrust Asgen to His Highness first." I hope that His Highness will treat him as a brother, just as the Prairie Clan regards the Ice and Snow Clan as a brother. โ€

Chengying wondered, "Since it's not dark witchcraft, why did the predecessor say this?"

Rufeng wanted to remind Chengying, but thinking about the future war, she still held back. Perhaps, that trust was the last words of the great witch. Is it worth it for a city? Maybe in his heart, it will be worth it to let more grassland children survive.

"Please also ask Your Highness to respond first. โ€

Chengying nodded, he always felt that some words could come true once he said them.

Chengying said: "We don't know what the situation is in Wild Horse City. Therefore, please prepare two hundred dead soldiers from Tana's seniors and enter through the Dark River. Uh......" Chengying turned to Hu Rius and said, "Is the cloud bee technique harmful to his own people?"

Hurius shook his head.

"After I left, the two seniors sent letters to the tribes asking for help. If it is only sent to Bu Qianyun, the king of the demon dragon will see the flaw. โ€

Tana and the two looked at each other and nodded.

......

At midnight, Chengying and Rufeng left Nas Village with the stars in the sky. The starlight on the grassland was much dimmer compared to the snowfield. Chengying secretly sighed that he could only see part of the battle situation in front of him, just like the stars in the sky, the ending was not something he could really see, just like the starlight hidden behind the void. No matter how bright they are, they can only bring darkness to this grassland.

The unknown is not under the control of people, but people are always curious, just like him, who also wants to control their own fate, and does not want to let fate arrange it.

"Your Highness, are you cold?" said Rufeng.

Chengying didn't respond, he pressed his body down, hiding Rufeng between his wings.
