After the king left, Xi Yan sneaked in.

The temple priest was still sitting in his position, staring at the chess game in front of him, as if in a daze.

However, at the moment when Xi Yan approached, she still noticed something: "Since you're here, come here." ”

After being discovered, Xi Yan didn't have any intention of being weak-hearted, and simply swaggered out.

The priest of the temple knew what he was here for, so he asked him to look at the game on the table.

Xi Yan observed the chess game above, and subconsciously murmured: "The momentum of the trapped fight."

In such a dangerous situation, his mediocre father didn't even notice it, and only thought about fooling the past.

"Xi Yan, do you want to play chess?"

The temple priest asked him suddenly.

Xi Yan paused, and his expression changed unpredictably for a moment.

But soon, he restrained his emotions completely, and showed a chic and uninhibited smile: "Don't embarrass me, Lord Priest, how can I play chess." ”

Seeing this, the temple priest did not ask any more questions.

Xi Yan is a very rational person, and at the same time a person who lives in the present, he maintains a vigilant and awe-inspiring attitude towards the unknown, and will not touch it easily.

She looked out of the hall and called, "Doya." ”

Doya soon appeared in their sight: "Lord Priest. ”

"The heavy rain is coming, so let the people of the temple close the mountain gate, and for the next half month, the priest's temple will not see guests."

Doya was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously responded: "Yes, the slave will go and inform the priests." ”

After Duo Ya left, Xi Yan turned back inexplicably: "It's just a heavy rain, why do you want to close the mountain gate?" ”

The shrine stands on top of the sacred mountain, and every day the worshippers go up the mountain.

The temple priest whispered, "When the rain washes away, the ground is full of mud, and a lot of hidden filth will be exposed. ”

“.” I don't understand.

Her order was swift and inexplicable.

Even the king, who had just returned to the palace, had not yet figured out the meaning of the chess game, and hurriedly received an order from the temple.

"What?!"

The king's face was full of shock, "Close the mountain gate, what did the priest say?" ”

The priest in charge of delivering the order nodded: "Yes, we don't know your intentions, and I can't leave the holy mountain again after I return." ”

The priests of the temple not only closed the mountain gates, but also kept the priests in the temple from leaving the holy mountain during this period.

"The widow knows."

The news that the priests of the temple were going to seal off the sacred mountain soon spread in the national capital.

The people of the kingdom did not understand the meaning of this move, and thought that the temple was about to abandon them, and for a time the people were panicked.

If there is a change, there will naturally be people who fish in troubled waters and make profits from fishermen.

On the second day, as the priest of the temple said, the heavy rain swept through the capital with a mighty downpour.

The road to the sacred mountain was washed away by heavy rain and muddy, blocking most of the road, and the people of the capital soon understood the purpose of the temple priests.

However, the heavy rain could not stop those with different intentions.

Even in such an extremely violent weather, many priests still contacted the courtiers in the court, and took advantage of the natural disaster to do a lot of tricks.

Behind them, there are more or less princes and princesses.

What these priests did did not hide from the priests who were concentrating on cultivation behind them.

They were already worried about this menacing natural disaster, after all, in the history of the lost country, there are many major events accompanied by strange signs, who knows that before they can figure it out, they turn their heads and are tripped by their pig teammates.

"Is it true that the priest is not a guest?!"

A group of anxious priests with sad faces were stopped outside the priest's temple by Duoya and Xi Yan, their mouths were bubbling, and they couldn't go in to see the priest of the temple.

Duo Ya and Xi Yan glanced at each other, and the two of them couldn't do anything.

"Priests, please calm your anger, we haven't seen the priest since that day, and we will wait for the adults to come out and discuss everything."

"The people of Kruna! So blatantly associated with the nobles of the kingdom! By their convenience, they oppressed the people and bought and sold slaves! Especially those who have become displaced by heavy rains! ”

The priests were heartbroken.

Xi Yan frowned slightly: "In this matter, the priests should play the lord of the country." ”

“.”

The priests looked at each other, but could no longer speak.

Who doesn't know that today's king is just an ornament and a puppet? As long as anyone who says good things and can please him, he is a favored minister.

And most of the favored ministers who manipulate the government are people who flatter him, and many loyal ministers are still angry and half dead because of this.

With Xi Yan's words, Duo Ya also calmed down, and she reminded: "Priests, priests never participate in party and government disputes. ”

"Well, of course we know."

The priests sighed, they knew that they would not be able to see the priest of the temple in less than half a month.

The priests who had been active in the front, led by Runa, became more and more emboldened when they saw that this group of priests had returned without even seeing the priests of the temple.

This heavy rain has been continuous.

Even the king, who was hiding in the palace, sensed that something was wrong.

"How long will it rain?"

No one dared to answer this question, and no one knew.

Heavy rains washed away crops and destroyed many thatched huts, and the number of displaced people in the capital gradually increased.

Hunger, poverty, cold. These problems piled up, and after half a month passed, the number of deaths in the national capital had grown to a terrifying level.

"Report to the lord of the country, the death toll in the national capital has reached three thousand two hundred and eighteen!"

"Lord of the Kingdom! Many courtiers suggested opening a warehouse to revitalize the people and build a shelter! ”

"But now that it's raining heavily, how can we do these things?!"

"Report! Now there are more and more displaced people, they are gathered together, and they are gradually becoming uncontrollable! ”

"Has the priest come forward? What's going on at the temple right now?"

More frustration was brought to the king, and he stared at the mountain of things to be dealt with before him, and for the first time understood the meaning of the chess game.

So, what should he do?

The lord of the country panicked, especially when he heard that the displaced people were rioting, and subconsciously sent people to suppress it.

He must not be allowed to disturb his peace by the rioters!!

As for the rest, the king couldn't think of anything else at all.

Fortunately, the temple priest finally appeared after half a month.

"Priest, Lord!!"

As soon as she appeared, she was greeted by a group of people who had been waiting for a long time at the door.

Facing the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, the priest of the temple softly called the name of a priest: "Wu Zhen." ”

"Lord Priest."

The priest named Ebony stepped out.

"Go and tell the lord that there is not much time left for him."
