Go to another world to be a priest

Just after a spring rain in the daytime, the sun came out again in the evening, and the sun shone away from the rain, which inspired white mist all over the mountains and valleys, like a layer of tulle covering the dark night. Someone passed by, white mist The fog swayed like circles of water ripples.

Wisteria gently raised the curtain of the mist tent in such a night.

As soon as his delicate face appeared, he was taken aback by the cleanliness of the room, it really didn't look like a place where men lived.

There are many hooks nailed around the tent, and bows, arrow pots, water bags, and cloaks are neatly hung on the top.

Covering the entire tent are animal skin blankets sewn together with many animal skins, and there is a small stone jar in one corner.

What separates the inside and the outside is an exquisite hollowed-out screen, which is exquisitely handcrafted. It is the first time I have seen wisteria in the family. Even in Montenegro, there is no such exquisite screen.

There is a low table against the wall with a wooden plate on it. There is a teapot and four teacups in the plate.There is a chair on each side of the low table, and the chair has a cushion that looks very soft.

On the other wall facing the table, there is a whole map, surrounding the holy mountain in the middle, mountains, rivers and mountains are quietly drawn on it, there are many incomprehensible symbols, and many places are painted in different colors, It looks a little messy.

Apart from these, there is nothing else in the tent.

Lian Wu was sitting on one of the chairs and was cutting some bamboo. When the curtain moved, he looked up and saw him. After a moment of surprise, he smiled slowly.

He put down the work in his hands, stood up and saluted respectfully, and pointed to another chair: "My lord priest, please sit down!" He picked up the kettle and poured him a cup of tea.

The water mist rose, carrying an elegant fragrance of flowers, Wisteria moved his nose, walked over and sat down, for some reason, the idea of ​​asking the teacher for sins in his heart faded by half.He opened his mouth and asked an irrelevant question:

"What is this water soaked in?"

"This is herbal tea. I dried it with fresh flowers and soaked it in water. I just thought about it on my own. My lord priest should drink it and see if it tastes good." Lian Wu graciously handed over the teacup and sat down by herself. .

After drinking two sips of tea, the slightly sweet taste moistened the throat, and Wisteria was thinking about how to speak, when Lian Wu had already said:

"I know why the priest came here."

Wisteria looked up at him in surprise, and saw a pair of bright eyes, which gave the young man's ordinary face a seductive charm for no reason.Lian Wu Xinshou poured himself a cup, took a sip casually, and said with a smile: "Heishan is a very attractive man. He is strong, handsome, courageous, and extremely capable. Under his management, the Black Stone Clan will grow stronger and stronger." Getting stronger and stronger. Such a patriarch is the most suitable priest for you."

Wisteria looked at him silently, no longer understanding what he was talking about, it seemed that things were not as she imagined?The days after he got off the mountain were not all smooth sailing, more or less tempering also allowed Wisteria to grow a bit, and now he is by no means as childish as on the mountain.

"Then, I am willing to leave the Blackstone Clan." Lian Wu stared into Wisteria's eyes and said these words slowly.

"What?" Even though Wisteria hated this man to death before coming here, she still gasped when she heard this sentence.

Leaving the tribe that I have lived since I was a child means being expelled, wandering in the dangerous mountains and forests, and life will no longer be stable, and the risk factor will increase a lot.

"Since you came to my tent today, you must already know the relationship between me and the patriarch." Lian Wu looked down at the petals in the cup that were soaked in hot water and bloomed again, and his tone was calm without any waves: "If If I don't leave, the patriarch will not focus on you."

Wisteria swallowed the persuasion that reached her throat because of this sentence, but hesitation flashed in her eyes: "You will never live for more than a year after you leave the Blackstone Clan."

Lian Wu snorted and laughed: "You don't know a lot of things, maybe you don't know enough. I can tell you a little bit. As for what to do, you can judge for yourself."

"You, a knowledgeable person like you, should already know about the patriarch selection system of the Blackstone Clan. I was only eight years old when I was selected as a candidate for the patriarch together with Heishan, and Heishan was already ten years old at that time. I was one of everyone The thinnest among them, at the beginning, they all regarded me as the first target to be killed. To be honest, in those few years, without Montenegro, I could not have survived. So, one year, the mulberry orchid bloomed At that time, in order to express my gratitude, I personally picked one and gave it to him."

Lian Wu closed her eyes and said with a wry smile: "We were all young at that time, and I was only 13 years old. How did I know that I couldn't touch that thing, let alone give it away...Actually, I liked a girl later on."

"You almost know what happened after that. It's been several years in a blink of an eye. As long as I'm here, Montenegro...so, it's better for me to leave."

Of course Wisteria knew about mulberry orchids. He was familiar with all kinds of books on the mainland. It was impossible for him not to know about this magical plant.

"...will he let you go?" After a long silence, Wisteria finally spoke.

"That's why I need your help." Lian Wu's black eyes were so bright that people couldn't move them away. Between the opening and closing of the upper and lower lips, a bold plan gradually took shape.

Under the sleeves of the robe, some of the corners of the clothes were almost rubbed to pieces, Wisteria listened quietly, despite the endless thoughts in her mind, she still quietly finished listening.

"With the help of the priest, there is absolutely no problem with this matter. I... will never appear in the Blackstone Clan again." Lian Wu drank the cold tea, gently put down the cup, and sat on the wooden table. There was a slap on the table.

Wisteria stared at him for several minutes: "...why?"

The question was endless, but Lian Wu understood it, and chuckled softly: "I said, I have a sweetheart."

"What about your sweetheart?"

"It's in the jar in the corner, that's it." Complicated emotions flashed in Lian Wu's eyes.

Wisteria had nothing to ask, got up and went back.

ten days later.

With the melting of winter snow and the recent rainy days, a nearby river overflows, which is very likely to threaten the clan land. Heishan is about to bring people over to check it out, but Wisteria stops him, saying that the official sowing date is today. When the god holds a sacrificial ceremony, the patriarch must be present.

"Can't it be another day?" Montenegro frowned.

"Everything is ready, just wait for you to go over and preside over it." Wisteria softly persuaded: "Of course, the matter of the river course is urgent, but it is not necessary for you, why not choose a stable companion to do the work, the sacrifice before the spring sowing , but it can’t be careless at all.”

Heishan had no choice but to agree, glanced around, paused for a moment on Lian Wu, and then turned to look at others. He was too thin, so he should find someone else for this kind of thing.

But today I don't know what happened, except for Lian Wu, the other eight people were not there.

A guard was summoned: "Will you accompany the adults?"

The guards counted on their fingers respectfully: "Three of them went hunting with others; one was shot in the leg by a stray arrow while hunting a few days ago, and is currently recuperating; two were sent by the priest to the Sea Tribe to exchange sea salt; the other two are now We are preparing for today's sacrifice."

"...The matter of the river channel will wait and deal with it tomorrow." Hei Shan was upset and wanted to leave with a flick of his sleeves.

"Patriarch." Lian Wu stood in front of him, looking straight into his eyes and reminded: "I am also one of the companions."

Hei Shan choked and didn't speak, he knew that Lian Wu had always hated him for protecting him too much, and his attitude towards him had just improved a little these days, and he didn't want to get stiff anymore.But looking up and down at the thin and small body of the person in front of him, his heart was churning endlessly in his chest, and he couldn't let it go.

"Let me go check the river." Lian Wu raised the corners of his mouth a little, showing a rare gentle smile: "I am a member of the Heishi tribe, and I should do something for the tribe. I can... help Heishan share some things with you , I am very willing. You are...too tired recently...you should pay more attention to rest in the future..." At the end of the speech, the voice gradually became lower, a little awkward and considerate.

Heishan felt that his mind could not turn anymore, and the person who had been indifferent for several months suddenly smiled and talked to him, Heishan couldn't believe his eyes, and greedily looked at the gentle smile, waiting for him to react Already nodded heavily.

Lian Wu even stroked the wrinkled corner of his clothes for him: "Heishan, thank you."

When Hei Shan stepped out of the tent, his steps were weak and weak, as light as if he was stepping on a cloud, and he turned his head to take a look when he got out of the tent.Wisteria watched coldly, and the last trace of guilt in her heart disappeared. She never thought that she made this decision was right. She hid the jealousy in her eyes, smiled and took his arm and urged: "Let's go, I will miss you soon." It's time."

For their tens of thousands of people, sacrifice is extremely solemn and serious, which means complicated rituals and a long time.Even with Black Mountain's strong body, he felt tired when he finished his work in the middle of the night.Wisteria, whose body was not as good as his, was also in charge of communicating with the patron saint during the entire sacrificial process. When it was completely over, he was already tired and fell asleep sitting up.

Her pale little face was haggard, and she was still muttering the priest's sacrificial words in her sleep. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the wisteria flinched and shivered.

Heishan suddenly feels distressed. After Wisteria came to the Blackstone Clan, she did her best and did better than the previous priests. Although she was not No.1 among the envoys of the gods, she did not cause famine to happen to the members of the Blackstone Clan.And, no matter what, the one-night couple Baiyeen.

Because of this sympathy, Heishan leaned over and picked up Wisteria, carried him all the way back to their tent, even gave him a simple grooming, and then slept together.

Who would have thought that because they slept too late the night before, the two of them slept until almost noon, and then came lunch, yesterday's hunting, and the clansmen who went to the Hai tribe to exchange sea salt all came back in one go, each with their own problems Report to Montenegro.

So when Hei Shan took the time to go to Lian Wu's tent and found that no one was there, he realized that he hadn't seen Lian Wu for nearly two days and one night.

"Where are the others?" Heishan suddenly felt inexplicably flustered, and asked a guard casually.

"The people who went to check the river have not returned yet."

"How long has it been since I haven't come back! Why hasn't anyone reported to me!" Heishan strode out, yelling loudly, "Songxin, take your people and follow me."

The Blackstone tribe is located on the east plain of the Blackstone Mountains. There are two big rivers passing through here, the Diaoya River and the Hongshui River. The river, the water surface is wide, the water flow in the middle of the river is fast and deep, and there are three-foot waves even if there is no wind.

The Hongshui River is not so much a river, but rather a larger stream with many stones in it. The water source is the rainwater, mountain springs and snow water from the Black Rock Mountains. flood.

In the past, the floods flooded the tribe, and the tribe suffered a lot from it, so they had to move frequently. Later, a person happened to see otters building a dam to stop the water, so he mobilized the tribe to clean up the river regularly, and built a dam with thick trees, stones and sand to stop the water. This kind of thing Gradually less and less, so it formed a routine.

This time, it is still the Hongshui River.
