"Si Tong, Si Qi, step back."
Rong Chen's voice sounded behind them.
The two waiters in white immediately put their right hands on their chests, lowered their heads, and stepped aside.
Rong Chen slowly walked down from the altar.
The gold ornaments on the back of his waist traced to the ground, outlining a series of beautiful lines.
He is still as gentle as jade.
With snowy clothes and dark hair, she looks like a fairy in a painting.
But he is no longer the humble and lonely scholar Rong Chen.
He is the high priest of the temple who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
The eyes behind the golden face were as thin as the snow, full of coolness.
No more softness.
"I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I didn't mean to hide my identity from you. It's due to responsibility and I can't do it like this."
Rong Chen slowly opened his mouth.
Bai Wu's eyes slowly moved from his face to the ground.
She bit her lip and her eyes couldn't help but twitching, "Master Sacrifice is benevolent to the people, and the daughter of the people... how dare you have any objections?"
"That's good." Rong Chen nodded lightly, "I also know the relationship between you and the late emperor. When you were unconscious, you notified the people in the palace, and they will send someone to take you back to the palace soon.
From now on, you won’t have to be bullied anymore.”
His tone was extremely gentle.
It sounds like a compassionate God blessing His followers.
But Bai Wu was not his believer.
She raised her head suddenly and looked at him blankly, "Why?"
Rong Chen's face still showed no fluctuation at all, "Although everyone already knows the truth, for you, the palace may be the best destination."
Bai Wu smiled bitterly, "Really?"
She wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes and slowly knelt down towards Rong Chen.
"But no matter what, the believing girl Liu Qiqi still has to thank the sacrificial lord, thanking the lord to restore the innocence of the civilian girl."
Then she took out the jade statue of the divine king from her arms.
She found this on the bedside.
"I would also like to ask the priest to do the girl a favor and bring this thing to a scholar named Rong Chen."
"He once made the women of the people believe in the divine king and believe in hope."
"But the people's daughter has never believed in any divine king, but in Mr. Rong, who wholeheartedly saved the people's daughters from misery."
At the end, she raised her head, the tears no longer in her eyes, "Since the scholar is dead, the daughter of the people has lost her faith, so please ask the priest to take back this thing."
The waiters in white clothes and the villagers who had not left were all shocked.
This Liu Qiqi actually dares to say in front of the high priest that she has lost her faith?
And Rong Chen's always calm face finally had a ripple.
He stared blankly at the woman kneeling in front of him, a feeling of powerlessness gradually spreading throughout his body.
He wanted to help her up.
But he can't.
She's right.
The scholar is dead, and now he is just a shell that carries the beliefs of thousands of people in Dongli Kingdom.
He could only secretly clench the hands shrunk in his sleeves, and then naturally look away and look at the waiter in white beside him.
The waiter stepped forward with understanding and took the jade statue from Bai Wu's hand, and was slightly surprised at the same time.
Isn't this a relic left by the previous high priest to their lord?
How did such an extremely precious thing get into the hands of this civilian?
The weight of the jade statue was lost in her hands. Bai Wu caught a hint of heartache in Rong Chen's eyes as she wished and lowered her head, hiding the cunning in her eyes.
Sacrifice to the Lord.
How does it feel?
Do you like this gift Qi Qi gave you?
She already knew Rong Chen's true identity.
In the snake cave, she had already noticed something was wrong when he gave her the jade statue of the God King.
Ordinary people can only worship wooden statues.
It's not that they can't afford other materials, but that they don't have the qualifications.
Apart from the imperial palace, only the temple has this qualification.
The mysterious disappearance of people in Lingnan Town is no longer a matter of one or two days.
Although the traffic here is congested, it is impossible for the temple to be indifferent to this.
Unless they have already taken action.
And scholar Rong Chen is their action.
His indifferent and compassionate temperament is something that others cannot imitate.
Except for the high priest of the temple.
Bai Wu couldn't think of the second person.
She also didn't expect that the person she was looking for so hard would be delivered to her eyes.
If it weren't for his words, "The eldest princess is in trouble, her fate is unknown."
She would not be reduced to such a situation.
He came to her hiding his identity.
So why isn't she?
On the cliff, she didn't do it unintentionally.
The black python was not willing to bite her, so she let go on purpose, causing him to fall.
Then she deliberately pretended to be worried and found him, deliberately went through all kinds of hardships to take care of him, and deliberately cut his wrists to feed him blood, and tore out his heart and lungs.
Facts have proved that this priest who grew up in the temple and was taught not to be tainted with any love can still be moved by mortal hearts.
With a little blood from his wrist, he gained the mercy of the son of the god.
She makes so much money.
This was her first move when she came to Lingnan Town.
It’s the same “trust and be at ease” approach.
Next, it’s time to “take advantage of the situation”.
I have to say that the art of war taught to her by Prince Wei was quite useful.
…
Just when Rong Chen ordered people to take Wu Xian into custody and prepare to return to the temple, several villagers suddenly broke into Wuxian Village shouting.
"Master Priest, Master Priest, no, the bandits are coming!"
Rong Chen frowned and signaled the waiter in white to bring the villagers over.
"Tell me carefully, what's wrong?"
Several villagers knelt down on the porch one after another, feeling lingering fear.
"Lord Sacrifice, thousands of bandits came down from the barren mountains to the west. They burned, killed and looted all the way. Now they have reached our village!"
Another person continued, "They are now on the street, and our stronger men are going to deal with them. But, we are just a group of common people farming, how can we be the opponents of those bandits?"
"Yes, Master Priest, you must save us!"
Rong Chen frowned.
It's not that he doesn't want to save her, it's that he doesn't have the ability.
Although the eight waiters around him knew some skills, they were completely unable to resist the murderous bandits.
"Don't worry, first gather the old men, women and children in the town to come to Wuxian Village to escape. I will send a few waiters out to deal with those bandits with your people."
"But this is not a long-term solution. Let's do this. I will write to the court in the name of the high priest. As long as the troops arrive, those bandits will not be a problem. You can rest assured."
The villagers all bowed their heads in gratitude and said, "Thank you, the priest, thank you God. As long as the priest is here, we will be fine."
In the side room, Bai Wu was lying on the bed and lovingly caressing the black python that had been missing for a few days before returning.
"Wangwang, you did a good job this time, I will reward you with a big fat meal."
He spat out the chopsticks of raw meat that Bai Wu had picked up, then swung the snake's tail and crawled to her neck.
Bai Wu looked at it with slightly longing eyes and let out a long sigh.
