Chapter Forty-Eight: The Temple

"Hey, it's our Wind Sending Tribe in front."

Ye asked Qin Ke to raise his finger forward.

In fact, there was no need for Boss Ye to say, Lu Ning had already seen the smoke rising in the distance and the scattered roofs peeking out from the horizon.

And you can also see groups of pedestrians on the road. Most of them carried spears and bows and arrows, and pushed a few wooden carts around the middle.

There was not much prey on the cart, but there were many seriously injured hunters lying down.

The others were also more or less wounded, and their expressions were all sad, and the dark clouds were bleak.

"Those are the hunters of the tribe." Boss Ye introduced to Lu Ning, "They just came back from hunting. Hey, it doesn't seem to be going well. ”

Ye Rang Qinke's Fengsheng tribe has been assessed by the temple as lacking in performance at the "Fire Watching Ceremony" for seven consecutive years, and has fallen into the curse of the "Dark Years".

"Hey, that kid from the old Gong family has been seriously injured again, this is the third time this month, I don't know if I can save my life this time......" Ye Rang Qin Ke saw the person lying on the wooden cart, and sighed and said.

Lu Ning didn't say a word, followed behind Ye Rang Qin Ke, and looked at those hunters.

"Ghost, can you see anything?"

Lu Ning asked secretly.

"Their bodies are diseased and vulnerable to injury, and in the case of long-term exposure to deficiency, it is easy to cause injuries and illnesses if they do strenuous exercise, and the injuries they receive are not easy to get better."

"Will our medicine still work in this situation?"

"The effective dose will probably be a little higher than expected. Long-term use of tonic drugs may alleviate their condition, but the symptoms are not cured, and the ineffective nature of their body for some reason is the main cause of the injury. ”

Lu Ning nodded slightly, roughly understanding the situation.

It seems that the so-called curse of the "Dark Years" is likely to be caused by the fact that the temple somehow made these people carry this "susceptible to injury" of the void nature, and then there was a chain reaction as a result.

Of course, it may be more than that. Now that's all they've seen, and maybe the temple is doing something somewhere else.

But the general road can draw one conclusion.

"This temple is really not a good stubble." Lu Ning was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Entering the wind delivery tribe, for a while, fireworks came to the face.

There are mud huts all over the place, but the difference is that their houses are built entirely on the ground, and there are no pits dug underground.

The main body of the house is also mainly made of clay and thatch, and there are many straw curtains hanging at the door.

From time to time, women and children of the tribe hurried out of the house to meet the hunters, and then the cries rang out.

Lu Ning followed Ye Rang Qin Ke through the crowd and walked towards the depths of the tribe with some discomfort.

"This is my home, Brother Lu come in and rest, I'll unload these things first."

Ye asked Qin Ke to lead Lu Ning to a slightly dilapidated courtyard and pushed the cart into the gate.

"Are you alone in the house?"

Lu Ning asked.

"yes." Ye asked Qin Ke to unload the goods while chatting with Lu Ning: "At my age, my parents have already gone." I don't have any skills in my life, and the girl I like doesn't look down on me, and now I am one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry. ”

Lu Ning opened the straw curtain and entered the house.

The room was small in size, but there was nothing in it except for a wooden bed, a table and chairs, and a fireplace, so it was not too crowded.

After having lunch here—actually two pieces of bread—Lu Ning followed Ye Rang Qin Ke towards the temple.

According to Ye Rang Qinke, there is only one temple in the entire Breeze Plain, and the regular tribes in the entire Breeze Plain are considered to be under the jurisdiction of this temple.

The temple is not very far from the Wind Delivery Tribe, and it is about half a day's journey to and fro.

Lu Ning imagined many situations and imagined what this so-called temple really looked like, but when he actually saw it, he was still shocked.

"Look, that's the Temple of the Breeze." Ye Rang Qin Ke pointed ahead and said.

"It's ...... A temple? Do you call it a 'temple'? ”

Lu Ning couldn't understand it anyway.

What the hell "temple".

This TM is a giant floating island floating in the sky!

Below the floating island is like an upside-down mountain, and above is a vast and luxurious white palace.

A stone staircase with colorful brilliance swirls and descends from above, and many pilgrims walk on it.

"Hmm...... This is indeed the temple," Ye Rang Qin Ke didn't know why Lu Ning reacted so much, "But it is said that the temples in each place are different, I don't know the specifics, I haven't seen what other temples look like." ”

Lu Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling like a dirt bun who had just entered the city.

The impact of this "temple" on him was too great.

"These stone stairs ......"

Lu Ning approached the floating island and stepped on the stone staircase that radiated colorful brilliance, and suddenly a thought sprung up in his heart.

Isn't this staircase entirely made of iridescent stone?

"Ghost, scan the floating island."

"Scanning...... Hindered by the unknown...... Is the power increased? ”

"Increase the power." This was the first time that the ship's scanning system had been hindered and did not succeed directly, and Lu Ning's heart was very curious.

"The output power is increasing...... Remove obstacles and scan is complete. Captain, this ship has discovered a very shocking fact: not only this staircase, but in fact, the entire base of this floating island is a super huge iridescent stone! ”

Lu Ning opened his mouth and looked up at the rocks in the distance.

"You mean, such a large floating island is itself an iridescent stone?"

"That's right. And after scanning, it is certain that this floating island is covered with countless miracle patterns of 'carrying hands', and at the same time formed a huge chain pattern, which gives this floating island the nature of 'floating'. ”

"No wonder ......" Lu Ning muttered to himself, quickly figured everything out, "This floating island itself is the energy source that allows the floating island to take off, what a genius idea." ”

Lu Ning was talking to the ghost in the soul connection, Ye Rang Qin Ke naturally didn't know, he thought that Lu Ning was suppressed by the miracle of the temple, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

See, this is the miracle of our world, a great work that only a god can accomplish!

How did he know that Lu Ning and the ghost had already stripped the principle of the floating island and didn't even have any underwear left, and even wanted to go back and reproduce it by themselves.

Landing on the floating island, the two stood behind the crowd, but there seemed to be some argument ahead.

"The High Priest is now receiving your guests, and you are all waiting outside."

A young man dressed in a white cloth robe, holding a long staff, and wearing a long crown on his head stopped in front of the crowd.

"What honorable guest, is there a more important guest than us in the whole Breeze Plains? Get out of the way, I want to see the High Priest!" ”

Several men in ornate fur clothes shouted. Lu Ning recognized it at a glance, and the fur on their bodies was all from the kind of one-horned white tiger he had encountered before.

"That's the people of the Great Deer Tribe, the most powerful tribe in the Breeze Plains right now. Because they paid a large amount of treasure to the temple every year, even some of the priests in the temple would give them three points. Ye Rang Qin Ke first introduced Lu Ning, and then he was a little puzzled: "Why don't the priests even let them in?" What's going on inside? ”
