The old woman who was the high priest slowly spoke:
"Back then, I was your age, and I had a beautiful face—" Just after saying this, the old woman paused, as if she was caught in the memories of that year.
And Ma Long took a closer look at the old woman's facial features and skin color, and thought: Although she is old and frail now, judging from her appearance, even if we extrapolate fifty years forward, she is still worthy of the adjective "flowery face and moonlight appearance".
If you’re not above it, you’re just “average” at best, right?
A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old woman's eyes, but it only flashed past. She once again assumed the role of the high priest, and continued without a smile: "But when I really saw the great witchcraft of the high priest,
Only then did I completely change my deep-rooted traditional concepts for so many years. It was like a hard glass bottle was broken in my mind, and it also opened my eyes to a whole new world."
"How great is it?" Shen Bingbing blurted out and asked, looking confused. Just listening to the old woman's story, it was hard to imagine how powerful the previous great wizard was.
"Don't worry, kid, let me tell you slowly, this is subversive." The old woman continued unhurriedly, "I was once an American. I grew up in an era of technological explosion. I have accepted atheism since I was a child.
I was educated and believed that science is omnipotent and faith is ridiculous. But when I saw the witchcraft of the high priest, I discovered that technology is truly ridiculous, but faith and witchcraft transcend everything.
"
Listening to the old woman's eloquent narration, Ma Long frowned, thinking that if he continued to listen to her nonsense, he would not be able to leave today! But the elderly have the problem of nagging. In fact, nagging is nothing, what is really fatal is
He kept nagging me endlessly, but all he said was useless.
The old woman was still drifting away from the topic, "When I was young, I thought the scientists in our country were great, but after seeing the witchcraft of the high priest, I discovered that scientists can't do it.
Anything that can be achieved or done, the high priest can do; those things that scientists can do, the high priest can also do -"
"Okay, we already know how great the high priest is," Ma Long quickly interrupted the old woman who was suffering from nagging disease and continued to talk nonsense, and quickly changed the topic, "Can you please tell me in detail, what is the greatness?
How powerful is witchcraft? Can you give me an example? Just hearing you say it, it’s unimaginable!"
Shen Bingbing on the side also nodded in agreement after hearing this.
The old woman shook her head in disappointment and said: "Young people just have no patience. How can you accomplish great things without patience? How can you become a saint if you are so impetuous? How can I let you take over with peace of mind?"
"
Hey, hey, hey! Shen Bingbing really wants to remind the forgetful old man that it was all your wishful thinking from beginning to end, right? I didn't promise you at all, what kind of saintess or successor you would be!
Ma Long seized this opportunity and said quickly: "Then don't let her be fooled. She is so careless. The saint is really out of reach for her. It is even harder for her to let her be a good wife and mother."
It’s already very difficult…”
Before he finished speaking, Ma Long felt a pain in his armpit. He knew it was Shen Bingbing protesting because she couldn't bear how bad she said to her. Shen Bingbing had black lines on her head and twisted Ma Long's flesh hard while secretly speaking.
Thinking: What does it mean to be a good wife and mother? It’s already very difficult for her. Am I that bad?!
Although Shen Bingbing knew in her heart that Ma Long said it on purpose, just to let her get away and dispel the idea of the high priest. However, she still felt unhappy when she heard Ma Long's duplicitous remarks.
At the same time, the high priest was not as easy to persuade as Ma Long imagined. She still stubbornly chose Shen Bingbing as her successor, and even used the famous saying "No jade can be made without cutting it" to express her determination.
"This girl is a good prospect. I am very optimistic about her. She is so similar to me back then."
They're not alike at all! Ma Longxin said, I really can't see the similarities! You should stop putting gold on your face.
As the old woman talking to herself was not enough, she asked some middle-aged women on the side, "Do you think this child looks like me back then?"
Naturally, the middle-aged women around them didn’t dare to say no, and nodded in agreement: “When the high priest said this, it’s really, really, really similar!”
What a fart! After hearing this disgusting flattery, Ma Long almost cursed. Judging from the age of these women, there is at least a thirty-year age difference between these women and the high priest. In other words, the high priest was young back then.
At that time, these middle-aged women were probably not even born yet! Your flattery is too outrageous!
But the high priest was very pleased with what he heard and didn't care that the flatterer made a common-sense mistake. The unsmiling high priest smiled and nodded, and said to Shen Bingbing: "Why?
So, what I said is right..."
Shen Bingbing lowered her head helplessly and was speechless. Just leave the high priest to his own words for a while.
The old woman squinted her eyes and giggled for a while, then suddenly remembered that she had not finished what she wanted to say, so she asked: "Where did I just say?"
"I told you, High Priest, when you were young," the middle-aged woman on the side reminded.
"No!" Ma Long quickly changed the subject, "It's time to talk about why you want to be this high priest. How powerful the witchcraft of the previous generation of high priests was, and you haven't given any examples yet!"
The old woman nodded, "Oh, yes, it's time to get to the point."
After hearing this, Ma Long was speechless again. It turned out that the high priest was self-aware and knew that what he just said was not the point. Seeing that time was wasted little by little on gossip, Ma Long's patience was about to be exhausted.
"We saints will all inherit the true mysticism. This secret is called witchcraft by the outside world. Only saints can learn it in each generation." When the old woman mentioned the inheritance of the secret, her face changed.
Reappearing a respectful look, "It was only after seeing the mysterious witchcraft used by the high priest that I was willing to be a saint here. My child, do you want to see the greatness of my witchcraft?
?”
Shen Bingbing almost said the word "I don't want to", but it would be too rude to say so. Seeing the high priest's expectant look, Shen Bingbing seemed to be very eager to try, and Shen Bingbing couldn't bear to dampen her desire to perform.
and enthusiasm, so he nodded reluctantly and said: "Then please ask the high priest to use witchcraft and let me gain insights."
"Okay!" The old woman was very happy when she saw Shen Bingbing agreeing. In fact, even if Shen Bingbing refused, she would still insist on showing it, "Let you see the witchcraft inheritance of the true god! All of you follow me.
