Chapter 803 Fire Spirit

The reason why Tang Zhao chose the Heavenly Demon Clan in the west was, of course, not because their temples were the most gorgeous and prosperous and best suited to his and ordinary human aesthetics, but because the last fragment of the Taiyin Domain was to the west of Sishang City, within the sphere of influence of that group.

Tang Zhao wanted to use the opportunity of the transaction to simply collect some information about the demon clan, and then sneak in alone. The reason why I say simple collection is because now I don’t have enough time, and I don’t have time to collect it in detail. If I have a foundation, I will take action forcefully. What I want is to cut through the mess quickly.

Although he didn't know where he was, Tang Zhao was the big boss, so Shopkeeper Lei would naturally listen to him. What's more, no matter the four tribes, East, West, North, South, they were the same to Shopkeeper Lei. He first brought the caravan to the city, found a place to rest, and began to take the initiative to go out to find connections.

Before leaving, he had to fulfill his previous promise and let the rest of the caravan go out to have fun and relax for a few days.

But before letting them out, Shopkeeper Lei also warned them: "You are all old people who have walked the yellow line. You know what to pay attention to and what to avoid outside. We are new here. We have no one to rely on here, and we don't have much friendship with the local demons. If you cause trouble, I can solve it and give you a hand. I'm afraid that if I can't solve it, I will have to take everyone away at night and can't take care of you. You can only wish you good luck."

In fact, these people are really old people, and they already know the word "caution". His instructions were routine. In fact, the person he really wanted to tell was Tang Zhao. But this was the big boss. He was powerful, in charge of money, and had a higher status than himself, so he couldn't speak clearly, let alone give a warning. And it seems that this person is just here to cause trouble. Telling him not to cause trouble is like telling a businessman not to do business or a student not to study. It is completely meaningless.

However, he still left behind a relatively clever guy. He said that this guy had followed him all over the world since he was a child. He was also someone who had been through the Demonic Business Line a lot. He was smart and knew how to get things done. He was more familiar with many Demonic customs than he was. He asked this guy to guide him. Take Tang Zhao for a walk first to get familiar with the "customs and customs".

Tang Zhao naturally agreed. When shopkeeper Lei went out, he asked the guy named "Xiao Chong" to take him for a walk on the street.

After passing through the shopping streets that had their own characteristics but remained the same on both sides, Tang Zhao's goal was the temple to the west.

The main color of the temple in the west is red, a bright red like a flame. Generally speaking, the appearance is in line with ordinary human aesthetics. Silky winding lines are often used to outline the main body of the cylindrical building, and then it snakes all the way up to the increasingly thin spire, and the color gradually becomes darker. The color difference makes the entire temple look like a cluster of beating flames, giving it a sense of dynamic design.

Looking at the temple from a distance, I saw small, red-haired demons coming and going in the temple. Apart from being relatively short, with protruding eyes, and extraordinarily strong muscles and bones, this race is not particularly weird. The "human-like" demon is obviously not from the same clan as the blue-skinned demon who collects taxes at the city gate.

Tang Zhao watched for a while and then asked: "Xiao Chong, do you think we humans can enter the temple of the demon?"

Xiao Chong smiled and said: "Master, the situation in each temple is different. In some temples, even if you take one more look, even if you go in, the believers will want to dig out your eyeballs. Some temples are wide open. Simen not only invites you in, but also tells you how good and powerful their gods are. I wish you would believe in their gods."

Tang Zhao thought thoughtfully and said: "Actually, I understand the latter one. Believers or not, they all have to preach. The more believers there are, the better. So what's going on with the former one?"

Xiao Chong smiled and said: "There are too many gods over there, and the rules are also different. Some gods only have a few families of believers, and they have names and surnames. They are all passed down by blood. If you are not of that blood, they will not be able to follow them at all. I don’t care if you believe in their gods. Some are more lenient and are restricted by race. Foreigners are not qualified to believe in them. Others are said to have very strict rules and you have to abide by them to pass the test. Even among a hundred. Only one. But some are very lenient. If you are willing to believe, you are a believer, and the temple will give you free certification. I think this may have something to do with the character of the gods. Some gods are strict and cannot be trusted by outsiders. Some gods are just like that. Be easy-going, whether it’s human or not, it’s good to believe in him anyway.”

After hearing this, Tang Zhao smiled and said: "You know a lot, and you can also think. It's really good." His words were a bit old-fashioned. In fact, he may not be as big as a small one, but based on his status, he is qualified to do so. Said. Then he asked: "Then do you know the rules of this temple?"

Xiao Chong actually knew that Tang Zhao had an extraordinary status, and he also knew that taking this young man out would be a good opportunity to show his face, so he had done his homework in advance, otherwise how could he have learned all the family treasures just now? At this time, he smiled confidently and said: "Sir, this clan is called the 'Fire Spirit Clan'. Their new god is a fire god called 'Tai Xiong'. He is a god in charge of burning, heat and enthusiasm. Logically speaking, this way The god should be easy to contact, and he should be open to many people. But it seems that he mainly attracts followers of the fire spirit tribe. It is said that the fire spirit tribe has been blessed by this god, because it has all the qualities that this god likes. If you believe in them, you must pass their test and have their qualities before you can be awarded the honorary Fire Elf Tribe.”

Tang Zhao was amused when he heard this, and said: "Is this what the Fire Spirit Tribe said themselves? And all the quality..."

Tang Zhao is not that kind of extreme person, adhering to the concept that there is no good in the demons, but there are definitely a lot of despicable people among them. How can one clan have better conduct than other clans? It's just to put money on your face. Also, since there is no shortage of gods in the demon world, no one cares about the fact that they monopolize the belief in a god. But having said that, the gods in the demon world are really conscious and can express their thoughts. If other gods don't object, how can other people object? It seems that their gods and their clan are probably one and the same. Xiao Chong added: "Although it is difficult to believe in their gods, it is not difficult to enter the temple. If you want to donate money, you are welcome. It is said that generosity is also a quality that gods like. But you can't go in when they are praying. Visit on a regular basis No problem, their prayer service is in the evening and it’s not the time to pray, so let’s just go in and be quiet.”

Tang Zhao went to the temple. In front of the temple, in addition to the fire spirits, there were also other people from time to time, and there were actually more humans. I think other demons also have faith, and there are many taboos about going to other temples, but people here don't, so some people treat this as a scenic spot.

However, seeing that many people dare to enter the temple of the Heavenly Demon, the atmosphere in these four upper cities is quite relaxed, and the Heavenly Demon is the leader and does not overly bully humans. However, according to Xiao Chong, the more a city is shared by multiple races, the more open it is. Some races have a city occupied by a single race that is extremely closed and brutally oppresses all foreign races, especially humans. Even these demons who put on a friendly face in a multi-ethnic city are extremely vicious when they return to their own territory.

When we got to the door, there was a big stall selling firewood.

Seeing Tang Zhao and two humans coming, the stall owner immediately shouted loudly in human language: "Sacrificial fuel, good quality sacrificial fuel, good sacrificial fuel taken from the Holy Fire Land, special sale, but you can't buy it normally." ah."

Tang Zhao guessed that this was "incense", and his heart moved and he said: "Holy Fire Land..."

The stall owner's voice became louder: "It's the Holy Fire! You know, the Holy Fire is the hottest and most powerful flame in the world, and the trees around it are the hardest and highest-quality firewood in the world! It has been stained with There is a hint of the aftertaste of the holy fire. It can be seen that this kind of wood is the best sacrificial fuel and can please the gods. Although you are not a believer in my god, if you use this kind of sacrificial fuel to put into the Taiyan, God will bless you. "

Xiao Chong shook his head secretly after hearing this. Since it is called the Holy Fire Land, it must be very important. Not to mention that there is not much wood in it. Even if it is a lot, how can it be taken out and sold at the gate of an ordinary temple in another place? What about telling stories and making others look like fools?

He was also a businessman, so he instinctively sneered at this kind of thing. He wanted to remind Tang Zhao, but also thought: He is a very wealthy man. It is said that a thousand dollars cannot buy it. I am happy, just in case this guy likes to buy these mysterious things. Where is your son? It probably wouldn't cost much to him.

Furthermore, the demon was still looking at him, and he was afraid that he might have gone too far and provoked the demon's revenge. The demon had big eyes, red hair, and spoke like a bellows, which was more terrifying than Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao said: "The holy fire is the hottest in the world? How many degrees is it?" Is it higher than the stability of the center of the sun?

Tang Zhao is not saying that the temperature of the sun is the highest in the world. There must be a higher temperature, but it may not exist in the form of "fire".

After hearing this, the demon opened his eyes and shouted: "How much...what? You are blasphemy by asking this! The holy fire is the flame of God, the divine body of my god Taixiong in this world, how can it be a mortal?" Can it be measured? Even if you have this idea, you can’t measure it. How can a person measure God?”

Probably seeing that Tang Zhao was dressed up to be quite wealthy, he was a very professional businessman, so he still wanted to continue selling, saying: "Although we never dare to pry into the power of God, I can say that the power of the Holy Fire It has no upper limit. Not only does it have no upper limit, it is getting stronger and stronger every year." He felt very proud when he saw Tang Zhao's expression, and said, "Yes, the color of the holy fire continues to become purer and its power becomes stronger. It is also becoming stronger. If you have ever paid homage to it, you will know that the holy fire changes almost every year on the day of the Seance. It is also the biggest sacrifice of my fire spirit tribe... I mean, because of the power of the holy fire. It’s getting stronger and stronger, so the sacrificial wood grows further back, the more precious it is. My sacrificial wood only grew this year, and it’s the most precious batch. If you want it, you can get it a little cheaper, and others will never be able to get it. At this price..."

Tang Zhao didn't listen to his rambling sales pitch, and only thought in his mind:

Getting stronger and stronger is the right thing. This time... is it fire?
