Chapter 9 The King and the High Priest

It can only be said that it was worthy of being a dynasty with highly centralized royal power. It is estimated that more than 90% of the precious and rare items in the dynasty were sent to the king and then piled up here.

Chu Jun took a quick glance and estimated that the various precious and translucent gems alone were more than what was in the warehouse outside, not to mention other porcelain and the like.

Chu Jun became interested and didn't bother to be polite with his lover, oh, not yet, but his future lover, and strolled around casually as if he was shopping in a mall.

The warehouse was very deep, and because of the shelves blocking the view, it was impossible to tell how big it was. Chu Jun could only look at it row by row and walk slowly inside.

Suddenly, on the shelf where the tributes were stored, there was a tray with only a piece of dull cloth on it. Chu Yun noticed it for no other reason than that it stood out so plainly among the pile of glittering gold objects.

Chu Jun picked it up curiously and took a closer look. Then he remembered that it seemed to be a gift from the priest of the Kai tribe, and it was said to have been found in the ancient river.

Chu Jun had only glanced at it at the time, and it wasn't a pattern from the present era. Pino searched and discovered it was a record symbol from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. The depiction was likely of a mythological story.

Chu Jun thought it was an antique from this place, so he gave it to Mo Heng and asked him to keep it. After all, it was something from this plane, so Chu Jun thought it would be better to keep it here.

Originally, Chu Jun should have put it down, but at this moment the cloth seemed to be activated. The pattern on it was lit up and lasted for a long time. The divine power attached to it also gradually appeared.

Since Chu Jun had been touching the pattern on it, he instantly knew who the owner of the divine power was.

His lover - Mo Heng.

Why would something from the lower realm that was a thousand years old have the divine power left by Mo Heng? Had Mo Heng been here at that time?

Shake your head casually, unlikely.

Chu Jun recalled nearly a thousand years of memories. Since they'd been together, they'd hardly ever been apart. Mo Heng was someone who always kept an eye on Chu Jun, even during cold wars or seclusion. Could it be from before they were together? And why did Mo Heng imbue this piece of cloth with divine power? Was there something special about it?

After thinking about this, Chu Yun carefully examined the mythological story recorded on the cloth.

It tells the story that a long time ago, a powerful god lived here with a child. The god taught the humans of that time how to live, hieroglyphics and music, and these methods have continued to this day.

As for which god it was, what people called him, or even the children the god brought with him, the scroll did not mention anything.

Chu Yun could only guess that perhaps there had indeed been gods living in this plane in the past.

There were still many questions, including why it didn't glow when he touched the cloth last time, but it glowed this time. Was the cloth related to the energy fluctuations of the ancient river and the sudden flooding? Chu Jun couldn't find a clue.

After taking the cloth, Chu Jun no longer had the heart to visit and turned back to the temple.

The next morning, everything was packed up, and the king and the high priest's carriage left the capital amid the worship of all the people.

Before leaving, Chu Jun presided over a sacrificial ceremony, firstly to pray for the flood to recede, and secondly to wish the king a safe journey. As soon as he left the city, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep with his head resting on Mo Heng's lap.

Fortunately, Mo Heng prepared a carriage covered with curtains, otherwise the high priest's outrageous behavior might have aroused strong emotions among the people.

But Chu Jun didn't care about any of this. She was resting her head on her beloved old man, even if he was in a state of amnesia and shattered state. Furthermore, Mo Heng was clearly interested in her, so Chu Jun didn't suggest creating any minor flirtations, just treating it as the fun of an old married couple.

Mo Heng really enjoyed the ambiguous little gestures between him and Chu Jun. He quietly wrapped a finger around Chu Jun's hair, as if that would allow him to keep Chu Jun by his side. The smile on his face was full of indulgence.

Chu Jun quietly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar smile of his lover, and his heart calmed down.

"I will definitely find you." Chu Jun thought to himself before he fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because she was thinking about Mo Heng's smile before falling asleep that Chu Yun dreamed about Mo Heng before he disappeared.

"Sui Sui, I'm going on a long trip next week. I'll bring you some local specialties when I come back!"

"Where are you going? You're not taking me with you?" Chu Jun was very surprised. Mo Heng usually sticks to her the most, but this time he went on a long journey without taking her with him.

"I'm going to the Chaos Realm to do some work. I'll be back soon. How about I leave Pino here to keep you company?"

"Forget it, Pino is still an artificial idiot. It's good that he doesn't get angry with me. You should take him away. I just updated Pino's system, and his capabilities have improved a lot."

The dream was short, but Chu Yun remembered that it ended with Mo Heng and him arguing in bed. Mo Heng had been arguing so violently that Chu Yun passed out, and the next day, he and Mo Heng stayed in bed together all day.

Perhaps the dream was too warm, Chu Jun woke up with a smile on his face.

"A sweet dream?"

"Yeah. I dreamed about something happy."

Chu Jun leaned her head on Mo Heng's shoulder as she spoke.

Since the king was traveling, the horses and vehicles he was equipped with were the best. With Mo Heng's instructions, the troops moved very quickly. The original three-day journey was shortened to one and a half days.

The closer Chu Jun got to the ancient river, the more he felt a pull from the front.

[Pino, detecting the energy of the lower reaches of the ancient river.]

[Received. Testing commenced...Testing completed. Energy peak located in the ancient riverbed, energy value 314. According to Article 23 of the Planar Treaty and Article 2 of the Supplementary Treaty, the plane conditions are low magic, which meets the regulations; the highest energy point is greater than 200, which meets the regulations; the anomaly has caused property damage or life threat to this plane, which meets the regulations. All conditions are met. Now communicating with the world consciousness to lift some of the seals...Communication completed. Unsealing your case...Lifted successfully, the seal on India has been reduced to 95%.]

A series of prompts from Pino echoed through his sea of ​​consciousness. After the seal was lifted, Chu Jun clearly felt a surge of power coursing through his body. Although it was only 5% of its previous strength, it was probably within the current world's tolerance. Chu Jun couldn't ask for too much. Furthermore, the underground river's peak energy level was only 314, so this was more than enough.

Mo Heng, who was enjoying the lap of his own high priest, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes to look at Chu Yun above him.

"Huh? Wake up, we're almost at the ancient river flooding area. Sosai said we'll probably have no choice but to walk there. The carriage might get stuck at any time, which is too unsafe." Chu Jun happened to be facing the sun as he spoke with his head down, blurring his features and only making out his smile.

A similar picture suddenly flashed through Mo Heng's mind. It seemed that at some point, the two of them were chatting in the same posture, and the person above was also looking at him with a smile.
