Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

One curse and one prayer to the gods.

After Su Qingchen completed the high priest's petition at Tianwentai, he separated from the high priest's real body.

As a servant of God, Mo Zhu invited the high priest and the witch doctor to the temple for a chat.

Knowing that the Nuo God was present, the high priest and the witch doctor did not walk side by side with Mo Zhu, but followed behind Mo Zhu very respectfully.

There were no bustling citizens on the road, but Su Qingchen still chose to ride on Mo Zhu's shoulders and return to the temple leisurely.

The temple door opened and Su Qingchen sat on the altar.

The high priest and the witch doctor first burned incense reverently before taking their seats in front of the hall.

Mo Zhu said as he brewed tea, "I was very busy the past few days and only had a very brief encounter with you two. I didn't have time to discuss many things in detail."

"Please feel free to tell me what you want, Lord Divine Servant." After the high priest said this, the witch doctor nodded.

"I haven't asked for your opinions on the matter of Madam bringing disaster to Tusi City."

"I was confused before." The high priest spoke.

Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu knew that he was talking about the plan he and Tian Nu and his group had made a few days ago to harm the lady.

"However, as the high priest guarding the city, I am powerless to stop such a disaster. I have tried for years but have not been able to summon the Lord Nuo. In desperation, I have to make other plans."

"I understand." Mo Zhu answered as he put tea leaves into the cup.

"Now that Lord Di Nuo has returned to his position, it is a great blessing for our city. As the high priest, I will obey your orders." The high priest, who had been worried for several years, finally found peace at this moment.

"Because of the epidemic, I have been to the palace many times. The aura of the palace is very clean, without any abnormal turbid air. I have never thought that this matter has much to do with the lady." said the witch doctor.

"Actually, I didn't feel anything unusual in the palace, or even in the city." The high priest was very troubled.

"I heard that the high priest once sensed a white fox demon?" Mo Zhu asked.

"Yes, at that time, everything in the city was normal, the people lived and worked in peace, and the Nuo God was still in the temple. However, I never asked the God for the Holy Grail to decide whether to marry my wife into the city. During that time, I briefly sensed the White Fox Demon."

The high priest sighed and continued, "Although they are rare in the city, it is common for demons to roam freely, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Lord Divine Servant, are you asking this? Could these things be related to the white fox demon?"

"Almost right." Mo Zhu answered affirmatively, then poured the boiled tea for the high priest and the witch doctor.

"Now, I wonder what else we can do?" asked the high priest.

"It seems that thing is afraid of the palace, but has something to ask of the temple."

"He has been to the temple?" The high priest was a little surprised, and when the witch doctor heard the high priest's words, the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

This subtle movement was seen by Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu at the same time.

"The temple is a sacred place to subdue ghosts. Wandering ghosts will stay away from it. Why did he come to the temple? Did he say anything?" The high priest was full of questions.

"He doesn't seem to care too much about the temple, and even tried to... " Mo Zhu paused and looked at the witch doctor intentionally or unintentionally.

The witch doctor looked worried and didn't notice Mo Zhu's gaze.

"Disrespectful." Mo Zhu finished the whole sentence.

"Grandma Shi." Mo Zhu called the witch doctor.

"Alas." The witch doctor replied weakly.

"When you're treating patients, do you hear them say anything unusual?"

"No." The witch doctor shook his head.

"The most obvious symptom of the disease is loss of consciousness. They feel as if they have been hollowed out. If they can't be cured, they will die. Those who survived say they don't know what happened to them. They have no memory, as if they had just taken a very long, tiring sleep."

Mo Zhu nodded.

"Yes, I have also seen some citizens infected with the disease. It is more like being possessed by the soul than an epidemic. But without the confirmation of Lord Nuo, we dare not jump to conclusions without authorization." said the high priest.

"During the years when you two couldn't sense the Lord Nuo, did you tell the divine servant about this?"

"Yes." They both answered in unison.

"He takes care of the temple every day as usual. When we asked him, he just said everything was normal. But in fact, it can be seen that the Lord Divine Servant is very worried, but we don't know the true situation."

The witch doctor nodded, agreeing with what the high priest said.

"Do you two know why the divine servant died?" Mo Zhu asked.

"He destroyed his own cultivation and severed his own tendons. If Lord Di Nuo is really gone, the servant can choose to serve other gods, or he can reincarnate again after his spiritual energy is exhausted, but he chose to end his life. This is a great sin that will result in eternal damnation." The high priest said solemnly.

Su Qingchen was also very surprised when he heard this. What kind of despair must one have experienced to make such a choice?

"Oh." The witch doctor couldn't help but sigh.

"So, is it customary in this city to burn the weeds on graves with fir branches?"

"No. Some naturally growing trees are cut down, but no fire is set on graves. Fir branches and fire are both ritual objects; using them carelessly is disrespectful to the deceased."

Mo Zhu felt that he had asked enough questions, so he looked at Su Qingchen on the altar, and Su Qingchen nodded at him.

"I will convey this matter to you two after Lord Nuo God gives his instructions. Let's stop here today," said Mo Zhu.

"Yes." The high priest and the witch doctor stood up and saluted Su Qingchen before leaving the temple.
