Sunlight shone in through the window and fell to the ground, reflecting the figure in the window. Wen Yun pushed the door and walked in, walked behind Ji Hou gently, and said, "Family master, Yin He's gone." ”

Ji Hou nodded and didn't say anything.

Wen Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Just now, when I went out, he didn't promise me about it. ”

Ji Hou said lightly: "This matter is dangerous and difficult, and his reputation is extremely bad, and Yin He is not a desperate person, so it is inevitable that he will hesitate." ”

Wen Yun sighed and said, "But you have already said the conditions so well, he is still not tempted." ”

Ji Hou shook his head and said: "If he hadn't been tempted, he would have rejected me directly just now, and finally said that he would go back and think about it carefully, it was obvious that he was moved, but he probably couldn't get past that level in his heart right now." ”

Wen Yun thought about it, suddenly smiled bitterly at himself, and said, "That's right, although I don't think much of those desolate people on weekdays, if I really do it, I may have to lose four or five thousand lives...... I'm afraid it's hard for me to do this kind of thing. ”

Ji Hou looked at the distance outside the door, and suddenly said after a while: "He will come back to me." ”

Wen Yun was taken aback, he didn't expect this family master to have such strong confidence in Yin He, and then he seemed to think of something, and said, "Family master, if that young man does what you said, don't you really want to help him ascend to the throne and take over your position as an elder in the future?"

Ji Hou's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Let's wait for him to do it first." ”

Wen Yun glanced at Ji Hou's face that was as silent as ice, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see the delicate Ji Honglian walking in, and said to Ji Hou: "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Ji Hou showed a smile on his face, beckoned to Ji Honglian, motioned for her to come over, and said at the same time: "Yes, come, come here." As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Yun at the same time.

Wen Yun understood, bowed to Ji Hou and walked out, and when he left, he also took the door of the study with him.

Ji Honglian walked to Ji Hou's side and said, "Dad, what are you looking for me?"

Ji Hou stretched out his hand and touched this daughter's hair, his face showed a little love, and said: "Didn't you tell me before, after going to the temple again this time, it is very likely that you will not be able to come out to meet as often as you do now? ”

In the end, the man who held the power seemed to be a little emotional, his face showed a little gloomy, and he sighed.

Ji Honglian also had a sad look on her face, her eyes were slightly red, but she still endured it, gently grabbed Ji Hou's arm, and said softly: "Dad, don't worry, I will come out to see you when I have a chance in the future." ”

Ji Hou smiled with some relief, patted the back of Ji Honglian's white hand with his hand, and then pulled her to the side of the table and sat down, and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you carefully, why do you go back to the temple this time, you think that there are not many opportunities to come out in the future?"

Ji Honglian looked hesitant for a moment, and said, "My cultivation in witchcraft is not bad, Master, his old man wants me to serve the gods more and be more familiar with various rituals, which can be regarded as preparing for taking over the high priesthood in the future." ”

Ji Hou's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "But I remember the last time I saw the high priest, he seemed to be in good health, and he should still be responsible for using witchcraft to communicate with the gods like this, you are still young, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Ji Honglian's delicate brows furrowed, as if she wanted to speak and stopped.

Ji Hou looked at her expression in his eyes, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The high priest attaches great importance to you, and I am really grateful for this, and I have long wanted to repay him, but unfortunately the high priest lives deep in the temple, and it is easy to not meet, and he is also powerless." If there's anything you need help with, just tell me, and the Father will do it for you. ”

Ji Honglian agreed, looking still a little hesitant, Ji Hou said softly: "What's the matter, looking at your uncertain appearance, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”

Ji Honglian's brows were tightly locked, there seemed to be a trace of worry on her face, and after a while, she said, "Dad, I think Master, his old man has not been in good health recently, maybe he is seriously ill." ”

Ji Hou was startled, and the hand hidden in his sleeve subconsciously clenched it, but his face quickly regained his composure after the initial surprise, and instead comforted Ji Honglian and said: "How come, although the high priest is a little older, he has profound witchcraft and has the protection of the gods, he should live a hundred years old, and he shouldn't get any serious illness, right?"

Ji Honglian shook her head, glanced left and right, and saw that there were always only her father and herself in this study, so she lowered her voice and said: "It stands to reason that this is the case, even if Master has any minor illness on weekdays, he will get better soon." But these days, he's ......"

Ji Hou stared at Ji Honglian's eyes, and saw that she seemed to be a little hesitant, so he asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Ji Honglian was silent for a moment and said, "Master, he has been silent lately, and he often spends time alone, but when it is customary to communicate with the gods with 'psychic techniques', he ...... He would now often ask me to come over and cast spells together. ”

Ji Hou's eyes slowly lit up, and there seemed to be a sharp knife passing through his eyes, as bright as snow. He asked softly, "Did he tell you anything about it?"

Ji Honglian bit her lip lightly and said, "Master said, this is also for my good, so that I can familiarize myself with the magic as soon as possible, practice more, and when I really take over the position of high priest in the future, I will be able to communicate with the gods smoothly and easily." ”

Ji Hou frowned and said, "Is it okay for two people to perform the Divine Technique at the same time?"

Ji Honglian explained to him: "There is an artifact handed down by the ancestors of the saints in the Divine Sect, the name is 'Divine Scepter', and only by using the magic technique to gather the magic power on the divine scepter can you come into contact with the will of the gods. Therefore, as long as there is a scepter, in fact, one more person to cast a spell is nothing, but it will better connect with the gods because of the enhanced spiritual power. ”

Ji Hou looked at her, but suddenly smiled, and said, "But in the past few decades, the high priest has always performed magic alone, right?"

Ji Honglian wanted to speak and stopped, and finally nodded silently.

Ji Hou's eyes flickered, and after a while, he nodded, smiled at his daughter and said, "Okay, this matter is actually nothing, probably the high priest really wants to cultivate you? ”

After a pause, he added, "I think the High Priest himself should know what to do. ”

Ji Honglian nodded, answered, and then stood up, it seemed that she wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped again, with a little struggle on her face.

Ji Hou walked over and said softly: "What's the matter, if there is anything hard to say, tell my father, I will naturally help you." ”

Ji Honglian hesitated again and again, and finally spoke: "Dad, I've used the magic technique several times, but ...... The will of the gods was never sensed. ”

Ji Hou was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Not once?"

Ji Honglian smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Not once, am I stupid, or am I not suitable for cultivating the Divine Technique at all......?" Or maybe the gods don't like me. ”

Ji Hou's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly his body shook violently, as if he had thought of something, and his face changed greatly.

But soon, he quickly calmed down again, smiled at Ji Honglian, touched her head, and then said softly: "Silly daughter, you think too much." If you are really useless and useless, do you think the High Priest will really keep cultivating you and make you his heir?"

Ji Honglian's face changed, and she said, "Is that so?"

Ji Hou smiled: "It must be." You, you just think too much, why don't you think about how old you are this year, how long you have only been cultivating the Divine Technique, and some mistakes are too normal, but the high priest doesn't blame you, what do you have to be afraid of? It's okay, it's okay, practice a few more times, and it's naturally fine. ”

"Oh. Being so comforted by her kind and reliable father, Ji Honglian was obviously a lot more relieved, and immediately smiled and saluted Ji Hou, and walked towards the door.

However, when she was about to walk to the door, she suddenly heard Ji Hou behind her seem to ask her intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Red Lotus, the last time the High Priest summoned the three of us from the Council of Elders to discuss the construction of the Road to Heaven, before that, had you followed his orders and performed the Channeling Technique with the High Priest?"

"yes. Ji Honglian nodded and replied.

Ji Hou smiled and said, "Oh, that's really early." Okay, go ahead, remember to come back to see Daddy when you have time. ”

Ji Honglian nodded with a smile and said, "I know, don't worry, Dad!"

Watching Ji Honglian walk out briskly, listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, the smile on Ji Hou's face gradually retracted, and he seemed to be in deep thought, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly sneered, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "This is because I can't find a god, so the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry?"

"That so-called oracle ......"

"Tut-tut, high priest, high priest, when it comes to boldness, I can't imagine that you are so much older than all the people in this holy city!

He slowly turned around, walked to the window, and looked into the distance: "It seems that there is indeed something you have dreamed of on that sacred mountain." What the hell is it......"
