Chapter 162 The greatly reduced ritual ceremony(1/2)
Whether it's in fire, water, grass, earth, clouds, or in that girl's skirt (cross it out, it doesn't matter), although it's very, very, very, very hard, you must get it!
As written in the lyrics, Su Qian's figure appears in the wilderness outside Yuanzhu City, flying over mountains, diving into lakes, and burrowing into trees, looking for elves he has never seen before.
Like an oversized yellow earthworm, but timid and fearful of trouble (characteristic: escape), Su Qian transformed into a mountain king and searched for it in the soil for a long time before finding it.
Skill: Rolling (lv0→lv2)
Hedgehogs gather in groups, like puffy pufferfish-like Thousand Needle Fish (Characteristic: Venomous Sting).
When he met Su Qian in the form of a strange goldfish king underwater, they swelled angrily. The largest one was like a water tank, and the smallest one was as big as a football. They fired countless poisonous needles and missile needles, which gave Su Qian an experience.
The pleasure of being pricked by thousands of needles.
Skills: Hardening (lv1→lv5), Deadly Needle (lv0→lv5), Sprinkling Water (lv0→lv4), Salt Water (lv0→lv3), Revenge (lv4→lv5)
At the water's edge, I met a little Guoran who was friendly to humans (Characteristics: Shadow Stepping), with a blue body, a round head, long tentacles and a black tail. It was completely unlike its adult evolution, which looked so curious.
Su Qian was too embarrassed to do anything, so he swiped a picture book and ran away. However, Xiaolu played with it for a while and helped it find its lost companion.
In the river on Route 42, we found a super elf no bigger than a palm, the dark blue water rat Lulili (characteristics: thick fat) and its evolved form, the larger, rounder and very cute-looking Ma
Power Dew (Characteristic: Hercules).
Of course, there are also many final evolved Maliruri. The evolution conditions for this type of elf are not harsh, and can even be considered very low.
Su Qian, who is greedy for profit, ignores their cute appearance and kills them without mercy.
It took a whole day, almost turning the long river upside down, and we didn't stop until the sun was setting and we were about to reach Kaji City.
In the end, his fairy-type physical attack skill - Playful was only at level 4, and could not reach level 5. But he finally had a fairy-type attack skill, which was much better than having nothing.
In the same river, elves such as the light blue, slimy Ubo (characteristic: moisture) and the Swamp King (characteristic: water storage) live together with the Maliruli. In other words, these two elves
There is an extensive marriage relationship between them.
Su Qian, who would do anything to improve his playful skills, naturally did not let these relatives go.
Skills: Bubble light (lv0→lv5), coquettishness (lv3→lv5), beating (lv0→lv5), bouncing (lv0→lv3), water tail (lv0→lv5), frolic (lv0→lv4), water ring (lv2
→lv5), water cannon (lv0→lv1), mud shot (lv0→lv5), white mist (lv0→lv5), black mist (lv4→lv5), yawn (lv0→lv3).
In the grasslands and forests around Yuanzhu City, Su Qian found two types of grass-type elves that had never been recorded in the Kanto region.
On sunny days, it will look for sunflower seeds (characteristics: chlorophyll) and sunflower monsters (characteristics: power of the sun) in the open space facing the sun, as well as shuttlecock grass (characteristics: chlorophyll) and shuttlecocks that fly in mid-air to bask in the sun with the help of wind.
Flowers (Characteristic: Chlorophyll).
Skills: Rooted (lv0→lv5), Flying Leaf Knife (lv2→lv5), Fairy Wind (lv0→lv5).
Finally, outside the power plant in Yuanzhu City, Su Qian unexpectedly encountered a group of electric elves widely distributed in the Kanto and Johto areas, a group of small magnet monsters and their evolved forms - the three-in-one magnet monster (characteristic: magnetism).
) and Magnemite (Characteristic: Magnetism).
Skills: electric shock (lv0→lv5), electric ball (lv0→lv3), gyro ball (lv0→lv1), cannon light cannon (lv0→lv2), harsh sound (lv4→lv5), electric light (lv0→lv2).
In 8 days, 13 illustrations, and a total of 4572 experience points, Su Qian was successfully upgraded to level 42 (experience value 2129/5419).
Su Qian could no longer find any types of wild elves around Yuanzhu City that he had not recorded. Unless he was guarding in places like the Elf Arena, he might be able to guard different types of elves brought by trainers.
On November 17th, Su Qian and Xiaolu needed to serve as bodyguards and accompany Professor Kong on the ceremonial journey to Baiyin Mountain.
Unexpectedly, serious disagreements arose before the trip even started.
Bang bang bang!
In the conference room of the Chonghuo Sect Headquarters, Professor Kong banged the table and exhorted angrily: "Sikong Jinyan, I told you. According to the records in the classics studied during this period, about
It took 5 days to start from Yuanzhu City and walk all the way to the foot of Baiyin Mountain."
As Professor Kong's bodyguard/attendant, Xiaolu stood behind him, with Su Qian in the form of a wave on his shoulder.
The two 'people' looked at each other and felt a little speechless - it turned out that Professor Kong's estimated employment time also included this period of time.
Leaving aside Baiyin Mountain for now, what dangers could there be on the road from Yuanzhu City to the foot of Baiyin Mountain within the jurisdiction of Yanmo City?
What a kind person!
It was early in the morning, and before departure, there were not many people in the spacious conference room. Except for Professor Kong and the bodyguard he hired, there were six other people, five men and one woman. Judging by their clothing, they were all high-level officials of the Fire Cult.
Sikong Jinyan, who was so fat that he held up his golden robe, frowned and said, "Professor Kong, your research is certainly very solid. The church has been cooperating with your work during this period and is able to reproduce ancient rituals.
It’s a very good thing. But we also need to see the difference between ancient times and modern times. The situation has changed after so many years.”
He turned his head slightly, looked left and right, and used his eyes to signal his subordinates to help.
A Qingyan immediately answered: "In ancient times, there were no cars, trains, or airplanes. There was no way to pass so many people at once. We could only walk there. If people at that time had a choice, they could use modern transportation.
Tools, they definitely won’t walk over slowly.”
"Professor Kong, you see, we have chartered a few buses and we will be there that afternoon." A subordinate holding a notebook came over and said, "Just think about how much it costs. With so many people, we will be there all the way."
If you go there, the cost of 5 days will definitely be far more than that. Isn’t this a waste?”
There was reason and evidence, and Professor Kong was obviously shaken.
Although he researched a 600-year-old festival itinerary and part of the rituals, after all, ancient and modern times are different, so it would not be appropriate to imitate everything from the past.
"Professor Kong, you are a scholar. You don't know much about our Chonghuo Sect. Sikong Jinyan is also the chairman and legal person of many companies owned by our sect. If he leaves for a long time, there will be big problems in the operation of these companies. Many people's livelihoods will
Everyone will be affected," another person advised earnestly, as if he was thinking about the people.
"Yes, with a market value of more than 110 billion, leaving it for three to five days is the limit," someone immediately added.
Religious fundraisers and float parades are just propaganda. How much money can you make from donations?
It’s almost enough to break even with the cost of this event.
What really makes money for the Fire Cult is the various assets accumulated from the past to the present, including real estate, companies, etc.
Next to him, 'Bobo' Su Qian, who was in a daze, suddenly became energetic, and his two small black eyes almost glowed with gold.
What! More than 110 billion?
The Fire Cult is so capable!
No, I am Yan Li's father, I will score half of the points!
Hearing such a huge amount of money and the many practical situations involved, Professor Kong had to succumb to the resistance of reality and said, "Okay, let's do it. Let's leave at 9:30, right? I'll go for a walk."
After walking out of the conference room, you only need to turn around a corridor and you will see 6 buses lined up in the square of the Fire Cult Headquarters.
The believers participating in the event and the eight private detectives hired were boarding the bus one after another.
"Hey," Professor Kong painted the railings in vermilion with his hands, looked at the square in the distance, and couldn't help but sighed heavily, "Can we still expect a response from King Phoenix if we have completely lost the religious ceremony?"
Xiao Lu, who was following him, touched the Poke Ball on her waist with her right hand, took a step forward and comforted: "Professor Kong, I think the Phoenix King may not care about these red tapes. I am afraid that what it pursues is no longer the same as the Fire Cult."
It doesn’t matter much.”
"Really? Why do you think so?" Professor Kong turned around in surprise and looked at this extremely young girl trainer.
Xiaolu was speechless for a moment.
She couldn't say that after listening to Yan Li blowing water every day, she felt that he didn't care about the Fire Worshiping Sect at all.
"Chirp~"
The 'Bobo' sitting on her shoulder chirped softly a few times.
After a pause, Xiao Lu smiled and said: "Although I don't know how many years have passed, the Fire Cult has forgotten the festival, forgotten the classics, and lost the Rainbow Feather. I'm afraid they don't know how many hundreds of years they haven't really seen it.
Phoenix King, right? Isn’t this the best proof that Phoenix King doesn’t care?”
"There is a reason why the Fire Cult became what it is now," Professor Kong lowered his voice. "The Alliance does not want a pure sect to emerge. There have been internal fights and disagreements in the history of the sect, and in the end the reformist faction defeated the retrograde faction.
"
"Is that so?" Xiaolu was stunned. When it came to history, she certainly didn't know as much as the professor.
After chatting for a while, Professor Kong seemed to feel much better. He took a deep breath and exhaled a breath, "But what you said makes sense. After all, the Phoenix King has not appeared for nearly four hundred years. I am afraid it is because he thinks that the Fire Cult has become a
It doesn’t matter what it looks like. Let’s go and get a seat on the bus.”
400 years?
Su Qian tilted his head, thoughts racing through his mind.
Could it be that Yan Li died four hundred years ago in his last life?
Could it be that the Nirvana Fire does not cook an elf egg instantly, but does it need to be roasted slowly over a slow fire?
Not long after, six buses filed away from the Chonghuo Sect Headquarters, drove onto the highway, and headed eastward toward Baiyin Mountain, which is nearly 370 kilometers away within the jurisdiction of Yanmo City.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the buses arrived at Baiyin Town at the foot of Baiyin Mountain. This is the last stop before setting off to climb Baiyin Mountain. After that, there is a deserted mountain wilderness.
There are already two rangers from Yanmo City's Wild Elf Patrol Bureau waiting here. They are the result of communication and coordination between the Fire Cult and the Yanmo City Elf Center. They are both guides and supervisors.
More than 100 people packed the two small hotels in the town to the brim.
There was really no spare room, so Xiaolu had to share a room with three other female believers.
Su Qian, who thought he was unlucky, could only take Yan Li's Poke Ball and run to the wild to feed it dinner.
When he came back in the evening, Su Qian heard from Xiaolu that Professor Kong had another big argument with the top management of the Chonghuo Cult.
