Chapter 52: Misfortune (II)
After the two sides met, Wen Yun smiled and asked Yin He what he was doing here, Ji Honglian was afraid that Yin He would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly said that I invited him to come, and my father said that he wanted to see him. Wen Yun nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile This is true, I have also heard the elder say this, otherwise I will take you up, the elder He is now in the study of the high-rise building.
Yin He agreed, he never dared to underestimate or offend this man who looked polite, but when he was leaving, Ji Honglian came over and pulled him aside, and then whispered to him: "Yin He, if my father wants to help you later, or use you, don't be foolish, you must agree to come down." I probably won't have much of a chance to come over to see you in the future, and I won't be able to help you much. ”
Yin He was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with you, are you going to go far away, or are you going somewhere?"
Ji Honglian shook her head and said, "That's not it, you know that my master is the high priest, there have been a lot of things in the Divine Sect recently, and the master and his old man's health are not particularly good, so there may be many things that will gradually be handed over to me in the future, such as sacrificing to the gods and presiding over the ceremony, and other important things, I need a lot of time to prepare for them, so I will probably be very busy in the future." ”
Yin He was in awe and said, "This is all a big deal, and according to what you say, maybe the high priest is likely to want to pass on the mantle of the Divine Sect to you, and you will be the next high priest in the future?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Ji Honglian glared at him, but she didn't say anything more, just sighed and said, "Actually, I don't have any special yearning for being a high priest in my heart, but Master and his old man are very kind to me, and my father also has great hopes for me." And I heard from them that the gods had signs when I was young, and they thought that I was qualified to serve the gods, so they took a fancy to me. ”
Yin He was originally very happy for Ji Honglian, you must know that the position of high priest is extremely noble in the Holy City, symbolizing the person closest to the gods, and is the spiritual leader of the entire Holy City. In some ways, the high priest is even more powerful than the powerful Presbyterian Church.
However, after seeing Ji Honglian's attitude, Yin He quickly thought of another thing, and was suddenly a little speechless.
Serving the gods naturally requires wholeheartedness, and to be a high priest is to abstain from sex for life, not to mention things like marriage, and this life must be dedicated to the gods, and if nothing major happens, the high priest will probably never leave the temple above the great pyramid for the rest of his life.
In other words, it may be a lifelong prisoner who is glamorous in appearance and in high standing and admired by all peoples.
Thinking of this, Yin He's face also became ugly, the Ji Honglian in front of him was not even twenty years old, it was the youth like flowers blooming, such a beautiful girl, did she want to enter the cold hall and sit in front of the green lantern ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, and spend her life like this?
Yin He was a little dazed, not knowing how to comfort her. In the hearts of all the people of the Holy City, the High Priest is a supreme and glorious position, but for a young girl, it carries a different kind of harshness.
In the end, he could only say astringently: "If you don't want to go, maybe you can ask your father, maybe he ......"
Ji Honglian said: "He really wants me to go." He said that I was extremely talented and had the favor of the gods, so it would be a pity not to go. ”
Yin He was silent.
Ji Honglian stared at him, and asked softly after a while, "Yin He, let me ask you, do you want me to go?"
"Me?" Yin He wanted to speak again and again, his face was complicated, as if he had almost blurted out something just now, but in the end he still smiled bitterly, "The high priest is such a high position, people like me don't even have the opportunity to meet him. If you have the chance...... I don't know, um, but, I think, uh, maybe I shouldn't give up. ”
Ji Honglian lowered her head slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of gloom in her eyes, but soon, she smiled again, nodded to him, and smiled: "Okay, I know." However, my master is profound, and he will definitely live a long life, so this matter can't be so fast, haha. Alright, you go see my dad first. ”
"Well, okay. Yin He agreed, nodded to her, walked back to Wen Yun, and the two walked towards the study of the high-rise building.
Along the way, Wen Yun didn't speak, but seemed to inadvertently glance at the figure of the girl who was still standing in place behind him and didn't walk away, and then glanced at Yin He who was walking beside him, and sighed softly in his heart, but he still didn't say anything after all.
He raised his head, the tall building stood majestically, a figure standing at the window, nothing could stand in the way in front of his thousand years of exploits.
※※※
There was a banging sound on the door, and the sound of "come in" came from inside, Wen Yun pushed the door in and walked in with Yin He.
Elder Ji Hou, who was famous in the Holy City, had recently seen that his body had become a little more imposing, and the whole person looked like a sharp sword that was about to come out of the box, and there was a faint bit of sharp qi surging in his face, which made people subconsciously want to avoid its sharpness, otherwise there would be a feeling of stinging injury.
However, after Yin He and Wen Yun saluted, Elder Ji Hou, who was standing by the window and looking into the distance, turned around and greeted them with a smile, and the kind smile suddenly softened the momentum on his body, and instead of that aggressive momentum, he looked more like the king of Corporal Lixian.
He beckoned Yin He to sit down, and then returned to the seat behind the desk, and asked with a smile: "How are you doing lately?" A few days ago, you quietly retired from the Xuanwu Guard, I originally wanted someone to keep you, but later I heard that it was you who resolutely wanted to retreat, I thought about it, don't be this evil person." ”
Yin He lowered his head slightly, and said: "That's true, a lot of things happened a while ago, and I also felt that I was not suitable to stay in the Xuanwu Guard, so I made a decision to quit the military, and if there was anything wrong, please ask Elder Ji to punish me." ”
"Hey, where, where, say what kind of punishment. Ji Hou said with a smile, "You have made a lot of contributions, whether it is in the Inner Ring Land, or after you come back, what you have done is remarkable, I like it very much and value it." ”
Yin He's heart moved slightly, but there was no difference on his face, he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Elder." ”
"Uh-huh, sit down and talk. Ji Houhan said with a smile, "Calling you over today, in fact, there is a big matter I want to discuss with you." You are a rare talent, and you have proved to be a loyal person in the past few days, and this matter has something to do with you, so I want to ask you, can you come and help me?"
Yin He was stunned for a moment and said, "May I ask Elder Ji, what is the big deal?"
Ji Hou didn't answer and asked, "You came back from the Inner Ring Land, and how many years have you been working there before?"
Yin Daodao: "Three years." ”
Ji Hou nodded and said, "Then I think you are basically very familiar with the situation in the Inner Ring Land?"
Yin He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't dare to deceive the elders, in the scope of the path that has been explored so far, from the first Qingyu Institute to the fourteenth Qingyu Institute, I can say that I am basically sure." But if you go any further, there are many strange things in the Inner Ring, and I don't dare to make any promises to you, Elder. ”
Ji Hou said "um" and said, "That's true, the Black Mantis you met a few days ago was an accident, and many people died." ”
A trace of gloom flashed across Yin He's face, and he said, "Yes." ”
Ji Hou looked at his expression, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Now I have a secret matter here, and I need a person to preside, after thinking about it, I think you may be the most suitable." ”
Yin He was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?"
Ji Hou slowly stood up, held the table with his hand, leaned forward, looked at Yin He and said slowly: "I want to bring a thousand desolate people into the inner ring land, and then let these strong people build a road to heaven for our human race!"
