Chapter 804 Divine Fire

Shopkeeper Lei spent a day trying to make connections, and finally, with the help of a certain blue-skinned broker, he got through the fire elf tribe's joints and got a ticket to enter the Xicheng District trade. This consumed a huge amount of his property and a huge amount of energy, and he returned When I got there, I just felt exhausted physically and mentally.

After he came back, he didn't go to rest. He quietly inquired whether the young master was back. When he got the answer that he had come back earlier and went to his room to rest, he felt slightly refreshed and looked like he was working hard and full of energy.

He was originally going to ask Xiao Chong where they were wandering around today? How was the harvest? Did it cause any trouble?

But he couldn't find this kid for a while. When he asked others, they all said they hadn't seen him, so he had to give up first. He couldn't help scolding the kid for not being sensible at all. He didn't take the initiative to report to him, and then went to the innermost courtyard to look for him. Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao's yard was not the most spacious and comfortable among the temporary residences they rented, but it was the most private. There was only a small door at the back. In theory, no one except Shopkeeper Lei was allowed to enter. Therefore, Shopkeeper Lei took a good stance and hurriedly dived in. When he raised his head, he was stunned when he just called "Young Master".

"You...why are you here?"

Xiao Chong, who was sitting on the bed, was very embarrassed and said: "Uncle Lei, that...actually it was me all the time."

Shopkeeper Lei said in shock: "What do you mean it's always been you? Where is the young master?"

Xiao Chong said: "I went out with the young master, but I came back alone and he didn't come back. Then he performed a very wonderful trick on me... I didn't feel it myself, but outsiders looked at me like the young master. I will just pretend that he is back and wait for you in the room as soon as he comes back. The master specially ordered that no one except you should know that he has left. "

Shopkeeper Lei murmured: "Leaving? He's leaving now? Thanks to me being busy building relationships with him all day, he left quietly? No, that's not what you said at the beginning? Didn't you say that? Shall I take him into the Fire Spirit Clan to find out what's going on?"

He was unable to react to the news for a moment, slapped his thigh and said, "Come here, tell me where you were today?"

Xiao Chong had a very good memory, so he told the story of him and Tang Zhao going to the temple and talking to the wood vendor in front of the temple.

He said emphatically: "I think there may be something to do with what he said about selling things. Before, the young master was still in a very relaxed state when he was wandering around. After hearing these words, his state suddenly changed, and he became tense again. After a pause, he seemed to have made up his mind. Then he entered the temple with me and walked around the temple. He stopped me and said, "Xiao Chong, let's say goodbye here." , I have to leave first..."

Shopkeeper Lei said: "What did you see when you went to the temple?"

Xiaochong said: "It's nothing, it's just a temple. Although their temples are all strangely built, they are actually built around gods, and the layouts are quite different. But the center of their temple is A ball of flame, seven to eight feet high, almost taller than an average three-story building. The color changed from bright red on the outside to golden on the inside. Of course, I really thought this flame belt was very spectacular after seeing it. A little bit of divinity. At that time, the young master also looked at it for a while and suddenly laughed. "

When he said this, he paused and smiled unconsciously. He might be imitating Tang Zhao, but he was very abstract, and said: "Young Master may have had some ideas at that time, and then decided to leave. But what happened? I don’t know who came up with the idea.”

Shopkeeper Lei frowned and said: "I'm not surprised that he appears and disappears as soon as he wants, but where did he go? How did he get there? He is also a cautious person, and he will not rush into the dragon's pool or the tiger's den when his brain gets hot. Right? Otherwise he wouldn’t hire me.”

Xiao Zhi suddenly slapped his head and said: "Ah, I thought of something, which may be related to his whereabouts. When we were watching the fire, we heard two fire spirits saying: 'We will go back to the Holy Fire Land tomorrow. "I really can't bear to leave..." The man behind said: "That's a good thing. I'll leave tonight." I didn't listen carefully afterwards, but I remember that the young master seemed to have listened carefully, and he probably followed..."

"Holy Fire Land?" Shopkeeper Lei recited the name of the place a few times, and suddenly his heart palpitated, and said: "You said that the young master went directly to their lair? Then the Holy Fire Land sounds like the core lair? How many strong men must there be? ? No matter how strong a person is when he enters someone else’s territory, he can’t defeat four people with just two fists. He’s alone... This is bad!”

At this time, Xiao Chong comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry. I don't think the young master is that reckless person. Doesn't he have that kind of magic? He can transform one person into another, and no one else can see through it. He Maybe he made a disguise and sneaked in. He went in with the person who said he was going back to the Holy Fire Land without being noticed. "

Shopkeeper Lei said: "What trick? It's swordsmanship. Even if you tell me, you don't understand it. You think it's magical because your strength is too far behind. Even if I give you a stick, you'd still accept it as a needle. But where can you be in the real Holy Fire Land?" How could such a little fool be able to hide this from a truly powerful man who has a divine understanding... Oh, I thought he was a cautious person, but I didn't expect..."

Xiao Chong panicked after hearing this and said, "What should we do? Will it implicate us? Should we escape overnight?"

He remembered what Shopkeeper Lei had said when he entered the city: if anyone caused trouble, he would be saved if he could, and if he couldn't, he would be evacuated. Whoever caused trouble would be happy for himself.

Shopkeeper Lei said angrily: "Run? I just registered in front of several forces today, and now I run away overnight? Wouldn't that cause alarm and be hunted overnight? What's more, if the young master comes back safely, he finds that we have not followed the original instructions. We have to make a plan to pick him up, and he will also cause trouble for us. It’s difficult on both sides. Now we can only... we can only pretend that nothing happened according to the original plan, and wait and see what happens..."

Xiao Chong thought to himself: Isn't that just helpless and waiting for death? Even though he, an old uncle who used to have great hands and eyes, could only sit there and have nothing to think about.

He was so slanderous that he was quite frightened and even more resentful. He thought of Tang Zhao: Where has this guy gone?

At this time, a red-haired team left Sishang City and headed for the Holy Fire Land of the Fire Spirit Clan.

They set out at night and arrived in the evening.

Well, we arrived instantly.

Because they are not riding horses, riding cars, or even flying with swords, but are using the fastest method in the world: teleportation.

This teleportation went thousands of miles west from Sishang City to a place close to the edge of the spiritual world.

Teleporting multiple people over long distances consumes a terrifying amount of energy. Unless it is a war, it is absolutely not worth it.

This time, an exception was made to activate the teleportation array, not because there was a certain high-ranking figure in the team, but because it was higher——

This time, it is to pass the divine fire from Sishang City back to the Holy Fire Land!

The sacred fire of each temple is obtained from the sacred fire of the Holy Fire Land, and it truly possesses the power of God.

However, the Holy Fire itself is constantly growing, and its power becomes more and more powerful. However, after being separated, the Holy Fire cannot grow. Instead, it will continue to be consumed, and eventually become mediocre. Therefore, the divine fire must be recycled at intervals and replaced with newly separated divine fire.

And the old sacred fire does not mean to be extinguished on the spot, but to be sent back to the sacred fire place and return to the embrace of the sacred flame.

This was something that everyone knew before. Welcoming the divine fire and sending the divine fire have become important rituals and even festivals.

However, not since when did the temple become taboo about this matter. Perhaps after comparing with other gods, I feel that the power of gods should be eternal and there should be no talk of decline. If you admit that your divine fire will weaken, you will seem to be showing weakness to others.

So now the changing of the sacred fire has changed from an open celebration to a sneaky little action. Everyone takes advantage of the night to switch the sacred fire, and the next morning it is as if nothing happened, pretending that it is still the same one.

This group of them arrived at the Holy Fire Land from Sishang City within the specified time. Half of them were clergy from their own temples, and the other half were envoys sent by the Holy Fire Land. But they are all young people, and the Taixiong God likes enthusiastic and lively young people to serve him.

This journey is still very relaxed, and it is easy for young people to talk when they are together. Fire people are generally enthusiastic and treat their own people well. The sacred fire was carried to the entrance temple in front of the sacred fire place. While waiting for the person to open the door, there was a rare moment of leisure.

"This divine fire is in very good condition. I think it's no worse than the new fire I sent over. In fact, it's just the appointed time, otherwise there's no need to change the divine fire given its condition. You must have served it very devoutly, right?" said a priest of the Holy Fire Land with a relaxed look.

After the divine fire was distributed, the rate of decline was different. In fact, no one understood the reason. It could only be attributed to the piety and lack of piety of the people who served. Anyway, this thing is idealistic, similar to "Sincerity leads to spirituality". In fact, it is "Spirit leads to sincerity." Anyway, if the divine fire has not faded, it means your heart is sincere enough. Otherwise, you might as well reflect on yourself.

The young priest who came from Shangcheng said with emotion: "As far as we are concerned, of course we are doing our best to serve, but strangely enough, since yesterday, the state of the divine fire has been better than usual. I guess the divine fire has a spirit, Feel the joy of returning to the arms of my God.”

The priest of the Holy Fire Land nodded. In fact, this kind of thing seems to have never happened. It is a bit strange to think about it carefully, but these young people are all devout believers of Taixiong Vulcan. They will use supernatural thinking to think about anything involving the supernatural. , I didn’t even think about the messy “ungodly” things.

At this time, I heard the bell ringing outside the door, the door opened wide, and the doorkeeper with the reddest and brightest hair opened the door and verified the identities of these young priests one by one. The identities of these people have been verified through many layers of verification, they are familiar with each other, and there are password protection and other guarantees. It is absolutely impossible to be impersonated.

After verifying his true identity, the sacrificial wood door made of more precious metal and stone slowly opened, and the young priests walked in brightly carrying a blazing sacred fire with a center as golden as the sun.
