Chapter 536: Lord Priest, you dont want your people to suffer disaster, right?
Although the land of Loulan is called an ancient country, it is actually just a city-state covering a large area. It relies on mysterious formations to resist the invasion of the endless yellow sand from the outside world.
The Central Temple is the landmark building of Loulan, lying quietly in the center of the city. In the square in front of the temple, a statue of a goddess with a height of 100 meters stands majestically, with a clear spring flowing under her feet, adding color to this desert.
Bringing a little bit of life to the cities in the city.
This statue undoubtedly belongs to Jiutian Xuannv.
"well……"
A faint sigh sounded from the waist of the statue. A majestic and solemn woman possessed by a divine robe looked up at the huge Xuannv statue, her eyes focused on the crown on the head of the statue.
There, there was a depression about the size of a baby's head.
"High Priest..."
The maid behind her saw this and comforted her in a low voice, "We have sent so many envoys, and one day we will be able to recover the dragon soul."
The high priest remained silent. As the supreme leader of Loulan, what she needed was not this kind of useless comfort.
To Loulan, the dragon soul is not only a symbol left by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, but also one of the energy sources that drives the operation of the entire city-state of Loulan. At the same time, it is also the key to unlocking the demonic weapon.
Ever since the dragon soul was stolen, the high priest has always had an ominous premonition in his heart——
I’m afraid I can’t hide that vicious weapon buried in time.
Even now she is a little unclear whether she wants to hear the news about the dragon soul or whether she doesn't want to know.
Because she was afraid that the news would be accompanied by a terrifying crisis that Loulan would not be able to cope with.
But there is no need to say these words to others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
After standing silently under the statue for a while, the high priest turned back to the temple and drove away the attendants.
"Tell me, who are you?"
A cold voice came out of her mouth.
"It doesn't matter who I am,"
No one appeared around, but the voice rang directly from the high priest's ears, "The important thing is that I can help you solve the troubles in your heart."
"..."
The high priest did not continue to speak, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to find traces of the person who made the sound, but in vain.
It has to be said that although Loulan was left with many arrangements by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, it seems that no one is ready to guard it all the time.
This is not the same as Shushan.
The guardian clan on the Shu Mountain side has inherited the skills. Although time has changed and the skills have been different from the original ones, the source has not changed.
But here in Loulan, there are only a lot more miracles than in Shushan, but neither the high priest himself nor the temple guards have any traces of practicing.
He obviously guards a series of divine objects such as the Dragon Soul, the Tears of the Goddess, the Chi You Sword, the God of War, etc., but he has no power at all.
This has to make Chi Yao suspect that they have never had any direct contact with Jiutian Xuannv. It should be that a group of desert people accidentally discovered Loulan, the place where Jiutian Xuannv used to seal the Demon God of War, a long time ago.
It can hide the characteristics of wind and sand and live here.
gradually gathered into the size of an ancient city-state,
This can be seen from the fact that he shot the sound transmission Gu into the ear of the high priest without being noticed by the other party. The supreme ruler of Loulan is an ordinary person, without any force.
"If this is the case, then things will become very simple..."
After thinking about this, Chi Yao appeared from the shadow of the high priest, and activated the "Dream Demon Technique" when their eyes met.
"Let me see what is the biggest fear in your heart... Oh, are you worried that coming towards the Demon God of War will bring disaster to Loulan?"
Seeing this, Chi Yao's heart moved and he sent a sentence directly into the heart of the high priest: "Master Priest, you don't want the people of Loulan to suffer disaster, right? Then don't resist and tell me all the information I want to know.
"
Although the will of believers is generally very firm, because the weakness in his heart was discovered by Chi Yao, the high priest was not able to resist the dream demon for long, and Chi Yao soon broke through his defenses.
As a result, he successfully obtained the information he wanted.
"The Demon God of War, Tears of the Goddess, Chi You Sword..."
Among the three, Tears of the Goddess is the easiest to find. It is hung in a mural on the wall of the temple.
The painting depicts a warrior holding a huge sword fighting against overwhelming monsters, with a string of beads hanging from his arm.
"Is this the Tears of the Goddess?"
Chi Yao looked at this painting and recalled what the high priest said.
The tears of the goddess are naturally the tears of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
But when did she cry and why did she cry?
This opportunity was after Chi You was defeated by Huang Di.
Chi You was not a person, but the leader of a tribe. After he was defeated, the tribe was naturally on the verge of extinction. And even if they did not actively die out, as long as the world's hatred for Chi You was transferred to them, they would never end well.
Jiutian Xuannv felt compassion for the world devastated by the civil war and did not want to cause more killings, so she shed a tear. That tear turned into a beautiful gem "Tears of the Goddess", which represented her love for Chi You.
Understanding among participating ethnic groups.
It is precisely because of this thing that Chi You's tribe can continue to survive.
"However, the mercy of this goddess can protect you for a while, but it cannot protect you for the rest of your life."
Chi Yao shook his head slightly. He had already inquired with the high priest. This so-called Chi You tribe had already disappeared in a long time.
"But no matter what, as a blood descendant of Chi You, I should be in charge of this thing."
He reached out and took off the pendant from the mural, holding the crystal clear sapphire in his palm, but found nothing special.
"Um?"
Chi Yao was a little confused, "Is it not activated? Or is this thing actually a replica?"
He remembered that in the original plot, the Tears of the Goddess could even transform into a human being and was a proper fairy treasure. But why did it look like a real stone in his hand now?
After trying several methods in succession but still unable to see what was special about this gem, Chi Yao had no choice but to put it away first.
"Forget it, maybe the opportunity hasn't come yet, so let's go find the next treasure first."
In his eyes, Loulan is a golden cornucopia. Even if the dragon soul has not yet been found, there are still many resources that can be mined.
"...This is it!"
After twists and turns, Chi Yao walked into a cell that was tightly sealed by a cast iron door.
However, this cell was not prepared for humans. In the center of the room, tightly wrapped with thick iron ropes from all directions, was a dark giant sword.
