After Jin Quan finished speaking, the next person to express his position was Sihai Temple.
"I am Ao Li from the "Sihai Temple". I have met Lord Courage."
Ao Li is a slender man with a curved horn on his head. He is a middle-aged man with a beard and a modest face.
Ni Tou has heard of this man, he is the Fourth Temple Master of Sihai Temple.
There are four temple officials in the Sihai Temple. The oldest one is usually the big temple official. He chants sutras and mantras in the temple all year round and serves the dragon ancestor.
The Duke of Ermiao presides over the funeral and wedding ceremonies on Longqi Island, and the Duke of Sanmiao is responsible for delivering babies and treating illnesses.
All external matters are taken care of by the Fourth Temple Master.
This was the first time Ni Tou saw the temple official.
Ao Li said with a smile: "The Sihai Temple worships the Dragon Ancestor so that Longqi Island can have good weather and the descendants of the Dragon Descendants can be free from illness and disaster."
"Longqi Island is an overseas island group, and the ground products are not as abundant as others. We mainly eat shrimps, crabs, fish and shells, and there are also some pearls, corals and gems in the sea. As long as we are diligent and smart, we can still live."
"The ones that everyone outside is more familiar with should be Longqi Island's isinglass, scallops, black pearls and dried seaweed. These are also considered specialties of Longqi Island. People from the Sihai Temple have known how to fish and go to the sea since they were young to make these dried seafood products.
.”
"As soon as they heard that Master Yao Shen had taken over the Kingdom of Secret Arts, everyone on Longqi Island rejoiced, and the Great Temple Duke held a special celebration ceremony for this."
"If you have been to Sihai Temple, you should all know that our Sihai Temple has erected a statue of Lord Yao very early. Lord Yao is the protector of the Black Dragon King and has a close relationship with the dragon clan. He is just like other people to Sihai Temple.
A Dragon Ancestor."
Compared with Jin Quan's direct and unabashed expression, Ao Li's performance was much more subtle and detailed, and he explained the causes and consequences, which seemed much more natural.
The Fourth Temple Master added: "Before, Ao Chen Demonic Barrier troubled Master Maocao, which really made the Sihai Temple feel bad. We brought some deep-sea isinglass and put it on the cart outside to express our apologies and thoughts. Please also ask
You must accept it.”
This scene made several other people's expressions change slightly.
Ni Tou noticed that even the boss of Golden Fist couldn't help but pat his thigh.
I didn't expect Sihai Temple to act so quickly. When I found the opportunity, I started giving gifts to show my goodwill, and I said it in a flawless manner. It is indeed an evergreen group in the Secret Art Kingdom.
Siddal said: "We have accepted your gift. Please go through the registration procedures later. We are looking forward to various seafood from Longqi Island, but we cannot accept this gift. This is Master Maocao's rule."
Ao Li just smiled at this.
Ni Tou suddenly understood.
Regardless of whether Count Siddal accepted the gift or not, the attitude of the Sihai Temple has been clearly revealed: they firmly stand on the side of Yao God and the Resurrection Kingdom. The two sides have had intersections in the past and are willing to have more cooperation in the future.
Nitou felt that he had learned a lot in this short period of time. The leaders of each club did have their own unique and outstanding features.
No wonder the eldest brother asked me to come over to watch and study hard.
A light female voice accompanied by the ringing of a bell broke Ni Tou's meditation.
"Mr. Siddal, we at Green Forest have a question."
The speaker was a very young woman. She spoke clearly and had a soft voice.
She wears quetzal feathers in her turban, thin gold earrings in her ears, emerald and wave patterns on her long skirt, and rattles made of snail shells and rattlesnake rings on her wrists.
As she spoke, the rattle on her wrist rang softly, and the gold ring on her earlobe swayed slowly.
This woman has a pair of bright and energetic eyes, her lips are small and a healthy cherry red, and her skin is a light wheat color due to being baptized by the sun.
She has a slender waist, smooth collarbones, and straight shoulders. Even when she is sitting, her clear and well-organized female figure is not compromised.
Nitou thought of Iron Legs.
The imaginary person with so many beautiful features in Iron Legs actually exists.
"I am Tatar, the salt girl of the "Green Forest". After the Resurrection Kingdom takes over the Secret Art Kingdom, will our original living territory be changed?"
the woman asked directly.
"Won't."
Siddal said: "Please rest assured, this is an oracle issued by Lord Yao. We will not make any changes to the existing beliefs and customs of the Mystical Kingdom, and we will also help and protect them."
Tatar looked relieved.
Ni Tou felt a little regretful.
The Salt Lady is a noble person who serves the Salt Lady in the Green Forest.
This identity is a double-edged sword.
The Salt Lady will send the captives to the temple together with the captives as a sacrifice to the Salt Lady on the agreed festival.
At that time, the priests would first kill the captives, then use sharp bones or the sharp beak of fried fish to split the body of the salt girl, and fill a green gem jar with the salt girl's blood.
If the Salt Girl does not die, it means that the Salt Lady is very satisfied and has given her blessing.
Then the salt girl can continue to survive until the bloodshed of the next sacrificial festival comes.
This kind of thing sounds scary to outsiders, but for the members of Green Forest, being able to become a salt girl is a matter of great pride. If you survive one sacrifice, you will gain the respect and admiration of more members.
Nitou could only silently hope that Tatar could live longer.
Tiejiao tried his best to save a woman from bleeding, but in some places there were people queuing up to complete the bleeding ritual.
Customs and traditions vary greatly among different groups, and some may even be reversed.
He put away his random thoughts and continued to listen.
"...The old god enshrined in the Green Forest is the "Salt Lady". The Salt Lady protects the salt we can find on the ground and in the water. We offer and dance to the Salt Lady to thank her for her gifts."
Tatar said: "In addition to collecting salt, we can raise quetzals, raise and tame snakes, knit and sew clothes, find gems, everyone can dance, and we can dance non-stop for three days and three nights.
Can make bells and leather drums."
Skeleton Man Siddal tapped his forehead with his white fingers, and then continued: "You can raise birds and snakes, dance and play musical instruments. The nearest theater in the Resurrection Kingdom is about to open. You can try to perform."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you can succeed in the theater, the benefits will be far beyond your imagination. Yao Kingdom has already had relevant successful experience, I wish you good luck."
"...Want to dance on stage?"
Tatar hesitated, biting her nails: "But this is a dance and ceremony to worship the gods."
Sidharth laughed loudly, spread his hands and said, "Think about it, God Yao is everywhere. Aren't the dances and music you show on the theater stage also performances and sacrifices for God Yao?"
"yes!"
Yan Nu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Ni Tou saw that everyone was rubbing their faces with their hands and suppressing laughter.
As we all know, most of the salt girls in the Green Forest live in seclusion and have little contact with the outside world. Behind the extremely cruel and barbaric blood rituals is a kind of innocence and purity far away from the outside world.
Sometimes when you come into contact with them, there will be such a ridiculous scene.
But don’t think that Green Forest and Salt Girl are easy to bully.
If they are angry, they will continuously send salt into the enemy's body, causing people to suffer so much that they will die of dehydration.
Birds are their eyes, poisonous snakes are their pets, and the sound of bells on their hands and feet will make their enemies' scalps tingle.
Tatar's words made the atmosphere in the venue more relaxed.
All eyes were focused on the last party.
"Black Temple".
The first group of people Siddal interviewed were the four major societies with the largest power and the widest territory coverage in the Mystic Kingdom.
But for a long time, especially in the eyes of mystics and those who have had contact with the outside world, the Holy Church has been considered the leader of the four major forces.
Even though the Holy Church is now in decline and has suffered repeated attacks, and it had crossed the line and killed Iron Foot before, the Brotherhood has not directly opposed it, but only demanded that it hand over the murderer and give an explanation.
The church only said that the beast-headed priest had betrayed the church and had nothing to do with the church official.
But when asked about the specific identity of the priest, they refused to give relevant information, saying that it was related to the church's principle of confidentiality.
This made Brother Jinquan so angry that he yelled.
Ni Tou was also so angry that his teeth itched.
Even though the strength of the Holy Church is weakened, it still maintains its aloof posture.
…
Ni Tou looked towards the direction of the church.
The person in the Black Temple is a beast-headed priest wearing a black mask. On top of his head is a stuffed white dove with wings spread out. He is wearing a wide white robe. You can't tell whether he is fat or thin, but you can only see the outline of a man.
.
Under the attention of everyone, he spoke slowly.
"The "Black Temple" resolutely obeys the arrangements of Yao Shen, Mao Cao and the Resurrection Kingdom."
"I am the animal-headed priest of the temple, White Dove. I represent the temple here. The black temple uses the "Black Tiger Head and Lord of the Temple" as the ancient god enshrined..."
Siddal raised his hand and made a stop gesture.
"You and I know."
Earl Skeleton said softly: "If there is no problem, please register and register later."
He looked at the priest Bai Ge: "Is there any problem?"
"..."
Bai Ge seemed to want to say something, and finally he said: "No problem."
"That's good."
Siddal laughed, and then he said: "The registration procedure is very simple. You only need to record the name of each society, the scope of its territory, the type of business it engages in, as well as its personnel composition and complete list."
"This way, if there are people pretending to be members of your club in the future, we can identify them directly. If they are from you, then we can contact you and deal with them."
He looked at the people on both sides of the table.
"Everyone has opinions and suggestions. You can make them."
There was silence in the meeting room.
Nitou felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe, and an inexplicable pressure lingered on everyone present. The source of this invisible power came from Sidal, from behind it.
The skeleton man's dark eyes swept over every club representative, and no one dared to speak.
Siddal added: "Then, let me emphasize it next."
"The local beliefs and traditions of the Secret Kingdom will not be affected in any way, but only in the Secret Kingdom."
"In the Resurrection Kingdom, whether it is the old gods, ancient gods, gods that are still alive today, or the associations that follow them, they must follow the oracle of Lord Yao, and any organizational behavior must abide by the laws of the Resurrection Kingdom.
conduct."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
He stood up slowly, with a terrifying smile on his face: "I wish you a prosperous business and abundant financial resources."
…
Coming out of that suffocating fortress, Nitou didn't feel his body relax until he was out of its shadow range, breathing in the fresh air.
Jin Quan let out a breath, cracked a few melon seeds, and said, "Ni Tou, you are my brother now."
"yes."
"Go to the Resurrection Kingdom. You will lead the team. The Brotherhood needs its own people."
The mud head takes the lead.
"besides."
Jin Quan patted him on the shoulder: "Remember to read more and think more, now you have to say more."
"The world has changed. The Brotherhood has to find a new direction and cannot stay in the fields all its life. Do you understand?"
Nitou shook his head.
"I just like your honesty."
Jin Fist smiled: "Your mission is to make good contact with the Resurrection Kingdom and see if there is any place where the Brotherhood can play a role."
"The Secret Kingdom is our root, but after all, it is far away from the core of Yao God's gaze. The Brotherhood must go to the core. Today the Sihai Temple has set an example, and they are ahead of us."
Nitou understands.
Just like growing wheat.
If you sow seeds on poor quality soil, it will be difficult to get a good harvest no matter how hard you try.
But with fertile soil and good fields close to water sources, a good harvest became a natural thing.
As soon as the visitor from the Resurrection Kingdom opened his mouth, the four major societies were all obedient. Even though they were as arrogant as the Holy Church, they had to honestly announce everyone's names and information.
Nitou turned around and glanced at the giant white fortress behind him.
It just stands there, like a mountain.
Its mere existence can change the light and darkness of this world.
Everyone has only two choices.
Either get close to it and become one with it.
Or run away and pray that it won't run over you when it moves.
