The National Preceptor of the Baize Kingdom is the person who communicates with the gods. Whenever the gods have an oracle, the National Preceptor rides down from the temple on the pure white guardian beast Bai Ze and announces the oracle to all the people.
But since the royal family of Baize Kingdom perished overnight sixteen years ago, no oracle has appeared in Baize Kingdom again.
This country has fallen into poverty and panic over the years because of its isolation.
The Ice and Snow Temple in the Holy Mountain is no longer as sacred as it once was. After years of corruption, it has become a symbol of the power of the Baize Kingdom.
The only bloodline of the royal family grew up under the care of the national master, and was fostered in the temple. He did not care about worldly affairs and did not see outsiders.
The power of Bai Zeguo fell into the hands of the national master.
It is not unusual in any country for power to fall to the side and powerful ministers to mess up the government. Mu Zihan, the regent of the Qinglong Empire, controls the government and is even about to appoint a queen. Even though it is absurd, as long as Mu Zihan goes there, no one dares to object.
He has absolute authority and has been immersed in it for many years. It has long been ingrained in the minds of the courtiers and people of the Qinglong Empire, and is an almost unshakable existence.
However, Bai Zeguo, the Imperial Preceptor, is different. The Imperial Preceptor only appeared after the chaos began sixteen years ago. The old Imperial Preceptor died in the massacre. He was able to secure the position of Imperial Preceptor because he saved the prince who was in the womb of his concubine.
position.
But in the past sixteen years, no one has ever seen this mysterious national master. He lives in the temple all year round and never takes a step out. If he has an order, he will send the attendants in the temple to come down and announce that he will from now on.
Not showing up.
There are rumors that this Imperial Preceptor is just a low-priced attendant picked up from a prostitute, but he has terrifying power. Over the years, anyone who disobeys him and wants to go to the temple to challenge and cause trouble has become a target.
After killing the souls of the deceased, the bodies will be found flowing down the stream of incense a few days later.
Some people also say that the national master is the mythical beast Bai Ze, but as the guardian beast of the empire, Bai Ze has not appeared for more than ten years.
Some people even say that the national master is an out-of-this-world master, the most powerful people in the world, and all the royal family of Baize Kingdom were slaughtered by him, just so that he could occupy the temple, a place close to the gods, to practice.
There are various opinions, but there is no consensus.
What the truth is, no one knows.
At this time, in the Ice and Snow Temple, the cold mist was lingering, and the world of ice sculptures and snow was completely white.
The main building of the temple is all made of fine white jade, which was transported thousands of miles from the Suzaku Kingdom, which is rich in jade. For this purpose, water for fumigation was dug and waterways were built. Countless craftsmen worked hard and piled bones to carve and build it in the ice and snow. It took a long time
Forty-two years later, this magnificent temple was finally built on the top of the towering and steep Danxun Mountain.
The white jade and the ice and snow are integrated into one, without any flaws, shining brightly in the snow and majestic. Hundreds of steps, layer by layer, finally support the temple at the top. More than 300 white stone pillars support the periphery of the temple.
On each stone pillar, the figure of a strange beast is carved.
On the stone pillar in the middle, there is a huge stone statue of the mythical beast Bai Ze. It is lifelike, ready to come out, and extremely ferocious, driving away many people who dare to trespass.
In the stone pillar hall, there is an altar where the Imperial Master burns incense and prays to the gods every day.
As we walked further in, we found a huge altar with a height of 100 meters in the empty square. Over there was the altar where the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor jointly worshiped heaven every year.
