Seven Strings in Dreams

Even if he went outside, due to his status, he couldn't walk around as he pleased, and his every move was watched closely.

He represents the entire tribe, and even the entire Shuangling Island.

Not only were his words and deeds influenced by the outside world, but even his freedom was restricted by some people, such as those in the temple.

Although the people in the temple could not take care of that, they kept their eyes on Monk and sometimes even talked about him without restraint, saying that it was all for the sake of their people. They believed that the high priest would not care.

They had said what they said, and if Monk really cared about it, he would seem petty. Anyway, we only saw each other a few times a year, so he should just put up with it.

Although there are many tribes on Shuangling Island, Monk is the real high priest, the genuine one.

Other tribes also have priests, but they are usually called minor priests.

Most priests don't want to be called little priests, so people will just call them by their names, such as Dono priest, Dadu priest, and so on. But in people's hearts, the status of some people is still there even if they don't say it.

If someone asks about the high priest of Shuangling Island, I believe everyone will say it is the high priest Monk of the Manta Tribe.

If Monk is ranked second, no one would dare to claim to be first, although he doesn't care and even feels a little unhappy.

But the inheritance he obtained was indeed on Shuangling Island. Among all the current priests, the inheritance he obtained was the most complete.

Not even Monk's Ali could reach that.

Over the years, there have been many people who have been baptized at the altar and received inheritance, but Monk is the undisputed first among them.

Maybe this is destiny and cannot be defied.

Some of those young priests were Monk Ali's old subordinates. They learned a little bit from her and then ran to other tribes to show off their power.

Some people have some skills, but some are just half-baked.

Monk was too lazy to deal with them one by one.

They always sang a different tune from Monk and would always make trouble for no reason.

There were still some people with real talents and who became minor priests through personal efforts, but most of them lived in seclusion and rarely left their tribes. Monk had even less contact with them, and he couldn't even remember the names of some of them.

The altar is in Monk's hands, and the orthodox successor is Monk, who is the most authentic successor to the high priest.

Over the years, whether it was the Manta Tribe or other tribes, Monk helped in every way he could and did everything he could, without stopping, either openly or secretly.

Only when the entire tribal alliance is stable can Shuangling Island be stable.

Internal and external troubles will only put Shuangling Island in the spotlight.

Monk doesn't care about his own reputation. What he wants is the safety of his people and good weather for Shuangling Island.

Although the Holy Spirit Island and the Fairy Island are always clearly separated, they are still connected.

Whether it is the Holy Spirit or the Fairy Spirit, it is undeniable that they are both the Twin Spirit Island.

In recent years, the island has been peaceful and nothing major has happened.

That's because of Munch and people like him, who together guard this tranquility.

But he was tired, and he really needed to stop.

He is like a canary in a cage now, but he is an eagle who likes to fly freely in the sky and he belongs to the vast sky.

He wanted to unload the burden on his shoulders, find a different place with his wife and children, and live a simple life.

Monk had a lot of things he wanted to do, for example, he wanted to go to the foot of the Luoshen Mountains.

It is said that Luoshen Mountains is the best place for training, but unfortunately not many people are able to enter.

Luoshen Mountains is one of the two forbidden areas. There are many legends there, and it is said that there are also ancient scrolls left in it.

Even if it was just a legend, even if there was no such opportunity, Monk still wanted to go and take a look. It was a place that all cultivators wanted to go, and Monk was no exception.

The four empires surround the Luoshen Mountains and happen to be connected to each other. Some special places are also included. Those places do not belong to any country and are controlled by local forces. They are a no-man's land.

The so-called no-man's land has its own rules. Even if you are a serious murderer, you will be protected as long as you flee there.

In that kind of place, everything depends on strength.

In a lawless area, there might be a city lord who is highly respected, or there might be some forces jointly in charge.

None of these are important. What is important is that in this no-man’s land, one can obtain more resources for cultivation. It is simply a paradise for cultivators.

When people who practice cultivation go there, as long as they abide by the local rules, they will not be driven out, and they will definitely make great progress over time.

Another mysterious place is located at the southern end of Suzaku Kingdom and west of Qinglong Kingdom.

The southern part of Suzaku Country is covered with towering, endless mountains. On the other side of the mountains is an unknown area that cannot be penetrated. Legend has it that there are many powerful hidden families there.

The Suzaku Kingdom is separated from there by the mountains.

The reason for Qinglong Kingdom is water.

The westernmost part of Qinglong Kingdom is a cliff and a large rift valley with a surging river underneath. One can only see that mysterious place from afar.

Even if you are a top master, you cannot enter there without an invitation.

Invitation cards are usually signed and have soul seals on them, so it is useless to snatch them. Once the holder dies, the invitation card will automatically become invalid, and will never cause any trouble, let alone be used by others.

Even if someone takes over someone else's body, they can't use it improperly, which makes people feel at ease.

Those invitations come and go without a trace. Perhaps when you start practicing in the morning, there will be an invitation next to you.

There is no regular pattern in sending out invitations. Or maybe there is, but people are not willing to talk about it.

Most people who receive invitations will be very low-key, only a few will lose their sense of proportion.

Even though the Azure Dragon Kingdom and the Suzaku Kingdom were very close to that place, they had no advantage and could only watch.

There are not only rifts and mountains, but also entrances created by illusionists.

Even the teleportation talisman cannot be used.

For hundreds of years, no one has been able to break in easily. Anyone who broke in would fall into a coma, fall off a cliff, or be killed or missing.

In addition to the two mysterious forbidden areas and the four empires, Monk also wants to go to the sea to try his luck. He heard that there are many unnamed islands on the sea, and maybe he can even become an island owner.

When Monk was young, he often went out to travel and explore. He has not left Shuangling Island for a long time.

At that time, they would sneak out secretly, which was very exciting. They were often mistaken for people from Xuanwu Country.

They also make a living by fishing, and are very similar to the Xuanwu people.

The witch dance performed by Monk is very similar to the Qiang dance of Xuanwu Kingdom.

Maybe if we trace back, there is some connection between the two!

It's just that Qiang dance is used to celebrate the New Year and other festivals in Xuanwu Kingdom. Most of them are used to pray for blessings.

The Qiang dance is more majestic and joyful. The movements of the Wu dance are more bizarre than those of the Qiang dance. If a woman dances the Wu dance, it will be more enchanting and can be said to be soul-stirring.

Monk's Ali was a master at performing the witch dance, which simply enchanted everyone.

At that time, her witch dance was far more attractive than any saint. She was very suitable to be the high priestess. If she was chosen as the saint, there would definitely be trouble.

Both the saint and the high priest are protecting their people.

But the ability of the high priest is far stronger than that of the saint. The saint is like a beautiful ornament, while the high priest is a weapon.

Monk didn't understand it at the time, but he gradually understood that some people are born with insurmountable talents in certain aspects. Talent is really something that makes people angry when they compare themselves with others.

Monk's Ali was not only able to perform the witch dance left by successive high priests, but also to improve it on the original basis and even create a new witch dance.

In this regard, Monk may never be able to surpass her.

Perhaps women will always have more advantages than men in dancing.

Wulan was also very talented in dancing. When she was a child, she often accompanied Monk to practice witch dance.

When he was young, Monk was very sad, thinking that it was embarrassing for a grown man to dance, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it properly. Maybe it was because of his psychology, but after Monk became a high priest, he learned it very easily and didn't find it difficult at all.

When she was a child, Ulan learned it first and danced it over and over again for Monk to see.

However, Wulan did not know the incantations used in the sacrifice, nor did she know how to infuse spiritual power while dancing, and she knew nothing about the altar.

So, Ulan was just dancing simply because she couldn't bear to see Monk worried alone. If she learned how to dance, she could help Monk.

It is the same dance, but when Monk's Ali dances out, he looks enchanting and charming, while when Ulan dances out, he looks innocent, lively and agile.

Unfortunately, such simple and beautiful days did not last long.

That period of time was the happiest time for the young Monk. Having his beloved woman by his side to accompany and support him was more than just happiness.

The altar opened and thunder struck Monk. Monk's mind was filled with Ulan's dancing and her sweet laughter.

Monk was not in pain. The physical pain was nothing. Instead, this kind of pain made his faith more and more firm.

He could no longer suppress his love for Wulan.

What Monk wanted was not to save the world or to be famous for generations, but to reunite with his family and grow old with Wulan. He could not die, but he also wanted to save people.

There was blood on the corner of Monk's mouth, his clothes were tattered, and he occasionally smelled like his skin was burning. But he still stood there, facing the next thunder tribulation. He did not retreat at all, he did not regret it, and he would not give up.

At the same time, Ulan woke up from a nightmare.
