Ni Tou sat on a big stone that was hot in the sun, eating melon seeds and basking in the sun, while looking at the woman washing clothes by the river.
The women were wrapped in linen clothes and washing their laundry pants in the running water. They talked to each other in brisk voices, like a flock of birds, and laughed from time to time.
They also know that men are looking at them, but women have long been accustomed to all this, and will even deliberately cast a look of laughter and dissatisfaction at the men peeking around.
Nitou was peeking at Camilla. But once Camilla looked this way, he would pretend to look at the water as if nothing had happened, or he would squint his eyes and eat melon seeds.
"Nana is still pretty."
Tie Jiao next to him wiped his mouth with his hand, with a look of obsession on his face: "If we could combine Nana's face, Meili's breasts, Falenka's butt and legs, and Camilla's smile and voice
In one person...if I can sleep with such a woman, it would be perfect."
He bumped the mud head with his elbow: "It's time to go. Come back and see."
Nitou jumped off the stone with him and left from the other side of the river.
When passing by, Ni Tou glanced at Camilla, but Camilla did not look at him.
Tiejiao shouted loudly: "Meili, are you free to have a drink tonight?"
Meili, who was doing laundry opposite, straightened up, put her hands on her hips and said, "Go find your mother!"
"I don't have a mother."
Tiejiao smiled playfully: "Ladies, if anyone is free, you are welcome to come to the woods to find me. I will definitely be there."
Women have long been used to it, and no one pays attention to him.
Tiejiao turned around three times with regret on his face: "What a pity."
Nitou left the river and no longer thought about Camilla in his mind.
He now has to work for the gang and has to deal with a minor border matter first.
Crossing the river and a hill, and entering the rocky area in the canyon, the mud head and iron feet advanced silently, and then walked into a narrow path ahead.
At the entrance of the narrow passage, both of them grabbed a piece of blood mud from the cloth pockets in their arms and smeared their faces into bloody faces. Then they both reached out and grabbed a handful of golden ash in their pockets and threw it with both hands.
"There is golden light in my body, which reflects my body."
A faint golden light appeared on the two people's bodies.
Mudhead and Ironfoot took out the sickle from their belts and strode forward.
"fraternity!"
Tiejiao tapped the mountain wall next to him with his sickle, and shouted at the people in front: "Who allowed you to set up an altar here! Do you know the rules?"
The seven people in front slowly turned their heads.
They were all men. Their eyes were dark, their faces were pale, and their dull eyes were staring directly at Mud Head and Iron Foot.
The leader stood in front of the stone altar.
He wore an iron crown with sharp horns, and his head was set in a hollowed-out black boar's head. There were two bloodshot eyes in the bone hole.
Ni Tou tightly grasped the handle of the sickle.
He is the beast-headed priest of the "Black Temple".
This is a senior member of the church, already a core figure.
How would it appear here
Is it true, as the outside world says, that because of the loss of sacred objects, the Black Temple is now at its wits end, and the original altars and temples were destroyed and punished by the invisible dragon?
Ni Tou glanced at Tiejiao.
Tie Jiao looked straight ahead and hooked the index finger holding the sickle.
This means to hold firm.
The clay figure also reacted.
If you take action rashly or even try to escape, you may be killed by the group of beast-headed priests. They must be restrained first to prevent them from taking action unscrupulously.
Tiejiao smiled: "Although he is a beast-headed priest, this is the territory of our Harvest Brotherhood, so this is against the rules."
"The brotherhood's territory is only dedicated to the Lord Messenger and the "Golden Lady", and no other altar ceremonies are allowed. If you do this, it will be very difficult for us."
"Or, the Holy Church is going to war with the Brotherhood."
The animal-headed priest said nothing, and just looked at the two of them. The six people next to him remained motionless, just staring at them.
"Give me a word."
Tiejiao's smile faded: "Fight or retreat. The big brothers from the fraternity are already on the way, and they won't be as easy to talk to as us later."
Within the fraternity, according to different responsibilities, they are divided into four categories: "older brother", "younger brother", "sister" and "sister".
The elder brother refers to the strongest fighting force in the brotherhood, usually also called the eldest brother. They usually also play the role of the elder brother and the leader of a certain group of younger brothers. Like Clay Man and Iron Foot, they all belong to the younger brother.
The younger brother is the most common low-level officer in the brotherhood, maintaining order everywhere, cleaning up heretical sects and organizations, and executing the orders of his older brothers.
The elder sisters correspond to the elder brothers, but they are in charge of the younger sisters. The older sisters usually do not directly participate in fights and conflicts. They are the housekeepers of the brotherhood and are responsible for absorbing and screening newcomers, and taking care of the weak and disabled in the brotherhood.
The younger sister is the reserve team of the older sisters, and is also the younger sister's subordinate and follower.
According to the internal hierarchy comparison between the associations, the elder brother's status is the same as that of the beast-headed priest.
The clay figure knew clearly.
Iron Foot is giving the opponent a step down. Although the beast-headed priest is a senior member of the temple, this is the territory of the Brotherhood. Once the big brother arrives, it will be difficult for the priest to leave.
Of course, if we can catch this group of people, it will definitely be a great achievement.
The problem is that it can't be done.
Tiejiao could only do the next best thing and try to frighten the opponent. Their eldest brother Jinquan didn't even know about this.
The two sides faced off for a moment.
The animal-headed priest turned around and said, "Leave, I won't hold you accountable for disrupting the sacrifice."
He pulled out a dagger from his waist, chanted an incomprehensible incantation in his mouth, and gently rubbed the dagger with his fingers. There was a living person tied to the altar behind him.
Tie Jiao and the clay figure looked at each other and both understood what the other meant.
A good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences and goes back to call for help.
All the way to the intersection, Tiejiao suddenly patted the clay figure: "Go and call Brother Jinquan, I'll keep an eye on them here."
The clay figurine said: "Don't do anything."
"I know. I'm so afraid of death that I dare not fight against them. They are beast-headed priests, and I'm not stupid."
Tiejiao grinned: "Here are some melon seeds, I don't have many here."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The clay figurine took out all the melon seeds in his pocket and gave them to him.
Tiejie was eating melon seeds, holding a sickle, and staggered toward the narrow path of the canyon.
The clay figure turned around and ran away!
He ran as fast as he could in his life to the nearest ancestral hall of the brotherhood to find his eldest brother for help.
Because the clay figurine could clearly see that the person tied to the altar was Falenka. Although she was in a dazed state, her appearance was too easy to identify.
The sun was so hot that day that the ground was smoking, and the surrounding grass was writhing like monsters.
The clay figurine ran wildly to find his eldest brother Jin Fist who was in the ancestral hall, and reported the matter of arresting people to open the altar. Jin Fist ordered the people and horses and rushed all the way to the secret altar in the valley.
When we arrived there, the enemy had disappeared.
Iron Feet sat beside the altar, his face was pale, and all the blood on his body had dried up.
Farenka, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stop crying.
Falenka said that Iron Foot tried to stop the blood sacrifice, but the secret method of the beast-headed priest could control the corpses - the people next to him were all living corpses, and they were not afraid of pain or death. Iron Foot fought hard but was eventually subdued.
Seeing that Falenka was about to be disemboweled by the blood sacrifice, Iron Foot proposed that he would be disemboweled by Falenka in exchange.
"I slept with her and helped her once."
Falenka twitchingly repeated Iron Foot's last words.
The clay figure knew that this was what Iron Foot would say.
After the blood sacrifice ceremony was completed, the beast-headed priest left directly without killing Falenka.
He just said: "It has nothing to do with personal grudges. It is just to sacrifice to the master of the temple, hoping to appease the anger of the gods. Forget everything today and continue to live."
Golden Fist picked up Tiejiao's broken body and said, "Go back."
Tiejiao was buried in the cemetery behind the ancestral hall and returned to the earth with other dead brothers and sisters.
Jin Quan led his sixteen younger brothers to worship the statue of "Our Lady of Golden Light" in the ancestral temple.
In front of the statue, Jin Fist said: "Holy Mother Golden Light, I Jin Fist swear that from today on, if the "Black Temple" does not hand over the murderer for a day, anyone who dares to enter my territory will be killed without mercy!"
Ni Tou also held back his energy and searched for traces of churchgoers everywhere in his jurisdiction.
People often die due to conflicts between societies, but members dying while legitimately guarding their own territory is an intolerable bottom line for any organization.
Jin Fist also negotiated with other brothers and found that people from the Holy Church were everywhere, setting up altars and offering sacrifices with the blood of the living. Their behavior showed an incomprehensible madness. Many people said that the Holy Church was really
Crazy.
…
When Ni Tou rests, he will still sit on the rocks and watch the female workers wash clothes.
The women are still laughing, chatting and joking. Someone in the fraternity will always die, and everyone has long since learned to look forward.
Camilla is still the focus of Mudhead's attention.
Her voice is clear and sweet, and when she smiles, all the pain in the world disappears.
A gift made by Clay Head for Camilla.
It was a kitten made of clay, painted yellow, and squatting on the ground staring ahead. He knew that Camilla liked cats and raccoons, but she didn't have the food or energy to raise them.
Ni Tou is very good at playing with clay. There are many clay sculptures in his small hut, which he made one by one.
"Thank you, Nitou."
Camilla said she liked it very much.
She told Ni Tou: "I am leaving the Kingdom of Secrets. There is a goblin businessman who thinks that I sing well and look okay, so he wants to take me to the Resurrection Kingdom. It is said that the Yao people have built a theater there and they want to perform and sing.
Dance and drama.”
Ni Tou said: "You are good at singing, everything will go well."
"Thank you."
Camilla hugged the clay kitten: "I will take it with me. I will take it with me wherever I go."
Nitou hummed.
Within a few days, Camilla said goodbye to everyone one by one and got on the goblin merchant's carriage.
Camilla no longer appeared by the river, and Nitou felt a little uncomfortable.
He could only spend the rest of his time kneading clay like he did when he was a child. Pieces of clay were kneaded by him into various animals, masks, villains, and even an ancestral hall and a statue of the "Golden Lady".
One day, Brother Jinquan informed him: "Take care of yourself and come with me."
"I want to participate in an important negotiation on behalf of the Brotherhood, including senior officials from the Sihai Temple, Green Forest and the Holy Church. This negotiation is organized by the Resurrection Kingdom. The Kingdom of Secrets already belongs to Lord Yao Shen and is no longer the previous one.
Master Messenger and Master Seven Sirens."
"After this, talk less, watch more, and learn more."
…
Negotiations were held in a tall white fortress.
This is a building built on the ground by the Resurrection Kingdom out of thin air.
There are two mobile fortresses on the left and right that are slowly patrolling. Just their tall and impactful white bone bodies, as well as the impact and vibration on the ground when they move, give people a heavy and cold sense of oppression.
The fortress is spacious and comfortable, with elegant and exquisite tables and chairs, bright glass, and thick blankets on the floor.
There is a green potted plant on the table in the center. This magical plant called Xingnao Mint can allow people to understand each other's language.
Ni Tou stood behind Jin Fist and watched the big shots take their seats.
The last person to arrive was a skeleton man wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat and a close-fitting leather coat. He sat on top and took off his hat, revealing a bare white skull.
"I am Sidhar, the person in charge of this external communication from the Resurrection Kingdom. Could you please introduce yourself and your respective associations?"
While the others were still busy with their own thoughts, Jin Quan had already taken the lead in standing up and clasping his fists.
"I am the Golden Fist of the Harvest Brotherhood, so let me talk about us first."
"The Brotherhood worships the "Our Lady of Golden Light" and was first composed of farmers. In the early days, we mainly united to avoid being bullied by outsiders. What we mainly do is farming and grazing, and other things are incidental. The Brotherhood has more than 100 people with experience
We are rich farmers. Our Lady of Golden Light has blessed us with always good harvests. This is the basic industry of the Brotherhood. One-tenth of the food on the market in the Secret Kingdom is produced by us."
"The brothers are very excited to be enveloped by Lord Yao's divine power. Of course, this does not mean that the previous Lords are not good. Lords of the past have helped us a lot, but Lord Yao is too famous, and he is very popular after hearing about it.
The brotherhood of middle farmers and animal husbandry is sincerely happy to be able to become followers of Lord Yao."
"If there is any need for the Brotherhood, please feel free to ask."
Ni Tou was shocked.
Brother Jinquan has an unruly and strong personality. As far as Ni Tou knows, he has never spoken in such a low profile.
Even if it concerns the gods, the brotherhood has never been so humble in the past. Because the gods have no regard for the secular world, everyone just needs to pay lip service to them. This is already an agreed upon thing.
Skeleton Man Siddal nodded: "That's great. Then, the Brotherhood is the first occult civil society organization registered in the Resurrection Kingdom. Please go through the registration process later."
"You are welcome to come to the Resurrection Kingdom for business and tourism, but you cannot set up altars or develop organizational beliefs here."
"I understand, I understand."
Jinquan said with a smile.
Ni Tou could see clearly that the elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, as if he finally felt at ease.
What are the parties talking about in this so-called negotiation?
Ni Tou didn't understand something.
But he has never seen Brother Jinquan be so nervous and serious.
