The young king, Meng Qi, held the fragments in his hands tightly, and strode into the unreconstructed temple with great strides.

Very abnormally, there was no one guarding the temple at this time, only a few pieces of newly built marble walls and a broken golden roof remained.The dimly lit corridor seemed empty and lonely, like a huge mouth that chooses people to eat.

Meng Qi looked at the corridor in front of him. For some reason, he only felt a trace of fear flashing through his heart. Beads of sweat unknowingly oozed out from his forehead. A dark corridor guarded by people.

"stop--"

A feeble scold sounded behind him.

Meng Qi recognized that it was the voice of the high priest Mengsang, but for some reason, the voice of the high priest, who was always full of spirit in the past, seemed so old and weak at this time.

But the person I met just now was right, the high priest is indeed in the temple now.

He frowned slightly, turned his head and looked behind him, but suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise.

In the eyes of his young king, the high priests of their Xuanxu Kingdom have always been aloof, mysterious and unattainable. Even the high priest Mengsang is already a very old man, but he has always maintained a high spirit. , A powerful and majestic appearance.

But at this time... the majestic high priest had only one arm left, and his already disabled body was covered with bruises from being abused. Significantly.

The current Mengsang is not at all like the powerful priest in the past, but just a weak and disabled old man.

Could it be possible that there are some capable people in Qingyun Kingdom who can hurt the high priest for this sake?The young ruler thought in surprise.

Probably aware of his eyes at this time, Mengsang snorted coldly, straightened his waist vigorously, looked at his little country master coldly with gloomy eyes, and said: "Your Majesty has been away for a long time to play, and finally you know you are back? "

Looking at the familiar gloomy eyes of the High Priest, Meng Qi also came back to his senses in an instant, and suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming here at this moment, and couldn't help but sneered back: "I can't compare to the High Priest."

"After all, I went out for a trip and came back intact. Unlike the high priest, you went to attack the Qingyun Kingdom. Not only did you lose an inch of your troops, but you also put one of your arms in it... Even our country's national treasures were taken by you. left to the enemy."

"Such a crime, what face do you have to return to your country! What face do you have to occupy the position of high priest! What face do you have to give orders and sacrifice alive children from our country!"

Meng Qi became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the end, he even waved his arms and took a step forward, actively approaching the high priest whom he had never dared approach before, and shouted sharply: "You are going to break the roots of Xuanxu Kingdom!"

Mengsang looked coldly at the excited young king in front of him, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty is serious."

"It is precisely because of the loss of the national treasure that my god allows our country to make up for the mistakes and use children to worship the gods. At that time, the gods will not only not punish the sinners, but will continue to protect our country as always, and the souls of those children can also smoothly ascend to the kingdom of God , what's wrong with this matter?"

After he finished his excuse, he stared at Meng Qi coldly, and said, "Your Majesty...you don't know the etiquette, and you dare to go to the temple to make a big noise, which is really offensive to the gods."

"At this moment, my god is manifesting, and he is living in the temple to summon us to discuss and inquire about the sacrifice. Since your majesty is so young and arrogant, you should leave the temple early, so as not to offend the gods."

Between the words, there is already a clear order to chase away guests.

"You..." Meng Qi felt humiliated, looked at the high priest in front of him, and couldn't help clenching his fists tightly for a moment, his nails almost clenched into his flesh.

He is the lord of the country, even though the divine power in the country is higher than that of the king, he is still the nominal lord of the entire Xuanxu Kingdom.

But now, my master, in the temples enshrined in the past dynasties in the country, was driven away by the high priest without any politeness, and he was even unwilling to let him go to see the gods...

The high priest has become so rampant...how dare...how dare...

etc!Just now the high priest said... the gods have descended to earth, and they are living in this temple right now?

Meng Qi suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered what the person he had just met had said.

He needs to be favored by the gods to compete with the high priest, and the high priest just happened to lose the national treasure recently, and in his arms... at this time there happened to be a fragment that was the same as the national treasure...

Excited, Meng Qi almost felt that the box in his arms was burning his chest. He no longer paid attention to the sarcastic remarks from the high priest, but took out the box containing the fragments from his skirt with trembling hands, loudly Said: "My god ordered to find such fragments?"

A gap was opened in the box, and the smooth jade-like fragment shone slightly from the gap in the box.

"You...how did you find the fragments..." The high priest's sarcasm stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at the fragments in the box for a moment, so excited that he could hardly speak.

It's too familiar, he has enshrined the national treasure for decades, even through a crack, he can recognize that the fragment in the box is exactly the same as the lost national treasure of Xuanxu Kingdom.

This is the rest of the fragments that the gods asked him to find?

Where did the king get this kid?

As soon as the eyeballs rolled, the high priest thought about it, and couldn't help wanting to monopolize this fragment and go to the gods to claim credit.

As soon as the gloomy expression on his face changed, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Your Majesty is really a young talent. The rare treasure that no one can find anywhere was found by His Majesty easily. We can finally have it in front of the gods." Let me tell you, wait for me to enshrine the rare treasure to the gods, and ask for credit for His Majesty..."

While speaking, he stretched out his only remaining arm, trying to take over the box containing the fragments.

But Meng Qi was not fooled, and hastily backed away a few steps, avoiding the high priest's palm, looked him up and down with distrustful eyes, and sneered again: "Don't bother the high priest, I will send it to the gods myself."

Seeing that Meng Qi didn't trust him, the High Priest who wanted to recapture the god's favor, suddenly changed his face, and he was no longer polite, but immediately took a step forward, wanting to snatch the box directly from his body.

He didn't even want to hide his shame.

The young king never imagined that his priests could be so shameless. Unprepared, he shook the hand holding the box, and he couldn't hold it firmly. The box fell from his hand and hit the ground heavily. The lid of the box was completely smashed off, and the crystal-clear fragment also fell out of the box, rolling several times on the clean floor.

"Ding!"

The sound of the fragments falling to the ground was clear and crisp, and they rolled in front of a wooden clog, stopped and did not move.

But the owner of the boot remained calm, staring at the fragment on the ground with heavy eyes, then bent down to pick it up.

I saw that this man was tall and tall, with disheveled hair, loose and wild clothes, clogs on his feet, a golden crown on his head, a pair of eyes with dark gold shining deep in his eyes, his appearance and attire were definitely not from the Xuanxu Kingdom.

Meng Qi had never seen this person before, and didn't know his identity, but he was only worried about the fragments in the box, and when he opened it, he wanted to order the person to return the fragments to himself.

However, the high priest beside him suddenly turned pale with fright, fell to his knees with a "plop", kowtowed reverently to the man, "My supreme God."

Meng Qi was startled, and immediately swallowed the order he was about to blurt out, and immediately fell to his knees like a high priest, not daring to raise his head.

No wonder he had never seen this person before, but just now he always felt that this person's attire was very familiar. Now that he thought about it carefully, it turned out that this person's attire was somewhat similar to the statue enshrined in the temple before.

After confirming the identity of the god in front of him, Meng Qi couldn't help quietly heaving a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat complacent and somewhat disappointed in his heart that he couldn't even guess.

He was proud because he had found the fragment that the gods wanted, and he was lost because...

Probably because the appearance of the gods is somewhat different from what he imagined in his childhood!When he knelt in front of the idol and prayed, he secretly wondered what the gods looked like...

The refined figure in Taoist robes he had seen before suddenly flashed in his mind...

Meng Qi was startled, and immediately shook his head fiercely, forcing down the person he imagined in his heart.

In front of the gods, but imagining the gods in my heart as other people, this is simply disrespectful!

Suppressing the faint trace of regret in his heart, the young king who had finally seized the opportunity knelt down in front of his god again, bowing his head deeply.

But at this moment, Yang Xu didn't notice this young man who looked like an ant in his eyes at all.

He caressed the shiny shards carefully, poking his consciousness into the shards to search.

Yes, that's right!This fragment does contain a piece of Qiu Chen's torn soul, and it is indeed the familiar soul breath.

Why didn't he discover before that so many broken souls of Qiu Chenzhi were hidden in these fragments of the Heavenly Dao Mirror.

If he had found out earlier, he would have been able to get the fragment of Xuanxu Kingdom in his hand, instead of watching the duck fly away again when he got it.

However, it is also very good to have this fragment in hand...

A piece of Qiu Chenzhi's soul belongs to him, and he is lying quietly on his palm at this moment. This feeling...is quite pleasant!

The dark golden eyes turned, carefully looking at the fragment in the palm of his hand, as if he was looking at the owner of the soul through the fragment, Yang Xu held the fragment in a good mood, and finally parted his gaze to kneel on the ground The mortal boy who was wearing it.

"It's you who found this fragment for the god?" He looked at Meng Qi who was kneeling, and asked in a mild tone with a happy mood.

As soon as Meng Qi said this, before Meng Qi had time to answer, the high priest beside him was already pale and full of despair.

He had a premonition that the favor of the gods would never fall on him again, and a new one was about to be born.

Sure enough, after Meng Qi excitedly opened his mouth to answer, Yang Xu gave a noncommittal "hmm" and aimed his eyes at the high priest kneeling beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Good job, young man." Yang Xu looked at the two of them for a long time, and finally said: "After all, they are young and strong, and their ability to handle things is much better than some confused old people."

For the pious high priest, this sentence is tantamount to a death sentence.

The high priest Mengsang was shaking like a sieve, and after hearing these words, his heart was shocked and he almost fainted.

In the end, was he still rejected by the gods he devoutly served?

Contrary to the desperate high priest, Meng Qi's eyes lit up, his face flushed, and he was about to jump up with excitement.

He knew in his heart that if there is a god, the name of the god-favored person will fall on him in the future. For the devout citizens all over the country, he is no longer a lord who is not worthy of his name. up.

In the future, both the High Priest and the Grand Commander had to give him three points, and he was finally able to gradually regain his military and divine power.

Just when Meng Qi was secretly happy, Yang Xu said slowly: "If you think about it, I will leave it to you to enshrine and find the fragments in the future."

In a word, like a basin of cold water, it immediately poured a chill into the heart of Enlightenment who was in ecstasy.

The matter of finding the fragments is okay, but the matter of offering sacrifices...

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of living sacrifices, Mo Mengqi, the lord of the country, couldn't help but tremble. He hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his head tremblingly, wanting to plead for the people: "But, my god..."

"Ok?"

Yang Xu lowered his head, his dark golden eyes looked at him without any emotion.

Meng Qi's heart trembled, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, not daring to raise his head again.

He finally understood that the title of the favored person is bestowed by the gods, and the rights that are about to be obtained are also bestowed by the gods. If he disobeys the gods, then the gods will naturally give the favor to others.

Including the rights that you are about to acquire.

Gritting his teeth, he ruthlessly kowtowed, and said: "My God loves you so much, your devout believers should...do your best in the matter of offering sacrifices."

Accompanied by his words, accompanied by the rights that are about to be obtained, the cries of those children on the altar in the future also gradually faded away in his mind, slowly dissipated, and finally, it was silent.

The young king raised his head and stared at his god with piercing eyes, as if he was looking at the supreme power that he was about to acquire.

A teenager who eventually became the person he hated the most before.

Like the high priest beside him.

"Ugh……"

In his heart, a faint sigh seemed to sound.

But he didn't hear it.

Yang Xu looked at the mortal kneeling at his feet, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up into a sneer without emotion.

look!This is mortal.

look!Qiu Chenzhi, this is the mortal you once saved.

Why do you always have expectations for these humble, cowardly and greedy mortals?
