Xiling Empire

We followed the silly big man to the dirt road in the village and saw that many villagers were coming out from each household. (You can find them) They all gathered together in one direction, with joyful expressions on everyone's faces. It seemed that the "village head" in the silly big mouth had a high prestige among the local people. We followed the villagers and finally, when we were almost at the entrance to the village, we saw an old man surrounded by a large group of children: this old man must be the village head.

I didn't rush to get in, just watching behind the crowd. The old man, known as the village head, looked over seventy years old, leaning on a crooked wooden crutch, a little humpback, not fat and thin, wearing a gray cloth robe with a dusty body, and a hooded hood Come down, revealing almost white hair. The old man had deep eye sockets, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he also had lead gray that was unique to the skin of the elderly, but it was good to look at the qi, and those sunken eyes were also bright, and his eyes seemed to be of this age The calmness and openness peculiar to the elderly. The old village chief was surrounded by a group of children, and the robe on his body was also black and white by the bears in the village, but he didn't seem to be bothered, but opened the wide front of the robe from the inside. Grab the rough pieces of sugar one by one and give them to the dolls. When they smile, the wrinkles on their faces are squeezed together. The old man is very angry: "All, both! Do n’t grab it, good boy Don't grab it! Luan! Take care of children younger than you. "

The adults in the village tamed in a circle next to each other. No one went up to grab the limelight of the children. Everyone looked at the group of children with a cheerful expression, and the children who received the sugar finally dispersed. Ran to his parents to take a weightless slap: this is a lesson that they should not pull the village chief's clothes, and then a group of bear children grabbed candy and ran away. The villagers greeted the village chief, and young people who were anxious or amused jumped behind and asked what was happening in the big city. The old village chief responded cheerfully, then he looked up and saw the most prominent silly big man at a glance ...

There is no way, a silly big man standing in the crowd is almost like an iron tower, regardless of length, width, and height, it is two numbers larger than others. The old village chief watched him standing at the back of the crowd and screamed loudly: "Stupid big! Why don't you squeeze forward this time! Usually you have a few anti-flying arms to run to the front, and today you turn xìng?"

People gave way, and a avenue was left between the silly big man and the village chief. The former scratched his hair and replied in a rough voice: "Hey, how about leading the VIPs, you can't make them embarrassed."

"Ah, there are guests!" The old man came in three or two steps. He looked like a young man with dexterity. He looked at us in surprise and wondered in his eyes. "These guests are strangely dressed. Where did they come from? Oh, I'm the head of this Songlin village, Koto. How many of them just arrived these two days? "

I was busy nodding with the old man. As soon as I wanted to introduce myself, the silly big man introduced it aloud: "Several noble guests are from dìdū. Chen is a travelling scholar and a learned person. The others are his family-but I do n’t remember Live name ... "

Then I knew that the silly big one would forget all of our names overnight! He even remembers a word of my name ...

"Dìdū?" The head of the old village suddenly flashed a doubt, and then looked at our clothes. Lin Xue responded very quickly, and immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Our home is dìdū. But we have been away from there for a long time. Now, I have been traveling all over the world. This is just coming back from a very remote place in the south. You see the clothes we brought from there. "

"Oh-" Of course the old village chief is smarter than a silly man, but his knowledge is obviously limited to ordinary people. He nodded suddenly, "No wonder. However, a few people in this dress are not ordinary people. The clothes are more like an aristocratic lady. "

The doubts in his eyes were still seen by me, and the meaning of the last sentence was: looking at the young lady who is like a noble family, naturally it is not like a traveler traveling. As the head of a village, the old man still had a little doubt in the subconscious of our fancy dress.

The old village chief refers to Bingtis-the only girl among me who is wearing a long dress. She wears a casual outfit on her body, while Lin Xue wears jeans with a fleece. Although the eyes of the locals belong to unpredictable and gorgeous high-end clothes, at least it does not affect the activity. Dressed in her gorgeous dress and long dress, it doesn't look like the Lord who travels the world.

In fact, Bingdisi ’s dress has always been my biggest hidden danger when I say that I am a travelling scholar: because most people do n’t believe that a normal girl can wear a piece to her ankle except for those who live in movies and palace fights. The following skirts are flying in the wild mountains, not to mention wearing this skirt to travel around the world: Normally, Bingtis' dress is only suitable for finding a castle more than 100 years old, and she is shaking gently in the manner. I ca n’t walk 20 meters in five minutes. I occasionally go to the castle tower to see the wheat fields outside, and wait for the young artists to play the guitar below or young people to use a ladder to hook themselves up – but you think this bridge is like big ice to me Is there anything compatible?

Although I know very well that Bingtis can really walk in any environment in this dress, she can even wear this dress to destroy the world with a slab of bricks ... but I ca n’t always let someone question it. Bing Sister performing evening dress mountain running? I think this is quite interesting, but it can easily cause Sister Bing to hurt others and she must first hit me ...

Bingtis looked down at the aristocratic fan full of clothes on her body, first smiled proudly at me, showed off her "noble temperament", and then picked up a fireball in the air, and then caused a small sensation around the village and followed the village. Chang explained: "I'm a senior spellcaster. Wearing a robe is a professional need. Changing the robe into such a need to burn a bag ..."

In the second half of her sentence, she clearly had noble temperament, but no one seemed to notice any temperament: people were stunned by the fireball in her hand, and the old village chief bent over subconsciously, full of respect: "Original you It's a curse, no wonder. "

"The lice jīng released yesterday found some information," Bingtis explained in the jīng divine connection. "I have a basic understanding of the clothing habits of this world and the characteristics of different classes and different occupations. I will tell you slowly when I have time."

I nodded my head. I thought that this female hooligan was really reliable at a critical time.

In fact, the dress modified by her evening dress is also very suitable for rì often wear, and it looks a little noble fan to everyone who does n’t know the truth: when the female hooligan does not speak, it is also a good girl to look at the back. With. It ’s just that in this world, things like dresses and long skirts still seem too “separated from the working class”. Of course, these are no longer considered. Bingtis, a curse master, is the village chief. The show evening gown ran away ...

"Village chief, I hit the big guy yesterday, let's eat bear meat together at noon today," the silly big man was right about what just happened. Even the instant fireball just didn't feel anything. He saw that no one was talking and hurried to speak. "The priest should already be waiting in the square."

"Oh, silly big man is still capable," the village chief responded. Bringing that cheerful smile again, we enthusiastically invited us, "Several guests also hurried, this is the custom of our village-two little girls are also here, and the meat is too rotten for children to eat."

Pandora's expression was indignant and angry, and Veska jumped up whimpering: "I'm not a child! I'm older than you!"

Who believes it, this girl is fine. When she jumped up, everyone looked at the little girl who was only one and a half meters tall, and just now the big truth of Viskar was treated as childish. If it is on the battlefield or in the enemy's occupied area, blood should flow into the river within two seconds. Pandora and Huesca can join forces to blast all primates in the area below 1.2 meters. But the two knew that this place could not be messed up, and Huesca began to anger in silence with Pandora ...

The old village chief, Coto, smiled gently at Sister Pandora. His eyes remained silent for a few moments on us, but his eyes were meaningful. Then he walked towards the square with a group of villagers on crutches, and silly greeted us and followed.

I scratched my hair: what did his last look mean?

Anyway, we also want to quickly see what the so-called priest is. By the way, if he can understand the details of the church and the goddess beliefs, he followed the crowd and marched towards the square. Lin Xue slowed his pace and walked behind me, suddenly whispered, "Ajun Do you think the old village chief stopped talking when we looked at us last time? "

"I can see it," I nodded indifferently. "It seems that I have any concerns about us, or there is something I want to say to the villagers, but I didn't say anything in front of us."

I wonder what the old village chief's concerns are: If you still think that the strangers who suddenly appear to us are suspicious, or are curious about the strange costumes on us, it's a bit unreasonable-didn't Bingtis find a reasonable explanation? Besides, if the old village chief is an old secret agent who is guarding the secret base, it is okay to say that this kind of person is born with a kind of occupational disease that doubts everything. If a fly is flying in front of them, they must quickly take a picture and see Is it tied to a camera or something, but where is the head of such a small village so big? From the appearance, the old man is the simplest old man in the country. He is respected and respected by the villagers for leadership. I guess that the village is far from the emperor. Most of the local village heads are not civil servants. The villagers have a lot of knowledge and hearts, and they are not reflected in foreign hostility. In theory, they cannot make such a great alert to a few passing strangers.

"The village looks very honest, and after contacting the locals, we can be sure that it is really hospitable," Bingtis also gathered up and said his observations. "Since yesterday, we have played with many people. Say hello, so basically it can rule out the possibility that this village has always been rejected by outsiders. So the village chief ’s doubts about us are not because of “strangers”, but maybe some other aspects are suspected. Maybe we are lying down. . "

The female hooligan is saying this, but in the tone, we don't care at all. In fact, no one cares about it-for everyone, this is a trivial matter that is not important, and we are not here to come and eat food in such a small village. Yes, everyone has a heavy responsibility to shoulder. How can this situation be compared with world peace? We just guessed here a little bit.

"Did you see anything?" At this time, I suddenly realized that Lin Xue hadn't expressed much opinion, but she was a prophet in the team, except for the purpose of avoiding evil and evil, she came to be a guidebook, how can she not speak at this time.

"Actually, it's all a small problem. Don't worry," the young lady said without a thought, "everything will go smoothly, and when it doesn't go well, it's not too late for Miss to come and give advice. I only have one word to say in advance: Seeing is not necessarily true. Don't be fooled by the first impression, and don't be fooled by the second impression. "

The prophet's reminder is still as usual ... semi-understandable, but she told us not to act impulsively, and I calmly understand the situation first.

At this time we have come to the village square, this open space dedicated to the goddess seems to have many functions here. It is not only a "religious place", but also a gathering place for various activities, and it is also an open-air restaurant where the village gathers according to customs.

At this time, the square had been set up. Large and small wooden tables and various chairs and stools were distributed on the field in a nearly random manner. There were also a group of young people who were carrying more tables and chairs from far away. Come over: It seems that not everyone is going to meet the village chief. There are also a lot of people left behind to arrange things for the party, which should also follow some rules. I see that there are all kinds of tables and chairs. Most of them have traces of handicrafts, and even a solid log pier is used as a stool on the ground. This must be something from every household. The stupid big man is the one who contributed the most here: the prey was caught by him, of course, no home is needed, but I guess he provides it and no one wants to use it-this big man has no long thing. Searching the entire room, there were only three wooden chairs. The rest that could serve as stools were the piles of stone pier in the courtyard, each half a ton. He did not kill his father with the guys responsible for moving the tables and chairs ...

"Oh ... Ajun, Ajun. How do I think about the temple fair?" Qian Qiang gazed around this large table and chairs and the crowd cheerfully, and his face flushed with excitement after coming back, dancing with me, dancing and dancing. So lively! I went to the countryside to visit a temple fair when I was young. I have never seen it since junior high school ~! "

I also feel that the battle in front of me is a bit of a temple fair (of course, the scale is certainly not enough, just this atmosphere). It is really difficult to associate the scene with the sect of a goddess in Starfield, of course, it is not even related to the "Holy Communion". In fact, this sect may also be high-end foreign style in places like dìdū. Before eating, there must be an old man in a robe standing in front of him to make a five-minute thought report with the crowd, and then everyone who eats has to bow his head and do with God for five minutes. Thought report, and finally neatly say "praise my lord" to the goddess. The implication is to say to the goddess "I eat first, feel free", and then finish the meal with the goddess for five minutes. Report or dining experience: Anyway, I guess places like religious centers should be so serious. However, in this small village of pine forest, everything has been reduced to the situation before our eyes: a group of children and a shallow crowd running around the table and chairs crowd, the villagers happily took the home while sitting casually, happily There was a lot of enthusiasm, and people kept taking rough wine or homemade snacks from the home and set them on the table. And in the middle of the square, in front of the statue, an unprecedented huge pot has been supported. The thick soup is boiling and the meat is overflowing. A black fat uncle with a priest's robe on his waist as an apron is holding a **** in the big pot. Stirring, this uncle still has a golden statue of Goddess on his neck. He stewed the meat while holding something that looked like a Bible. He said, "Thank the goddess for the food! Thank the goddess for the peace! Thank the goddess for the peppercorns. It is expected that there is an old soup foundation ... Jon! Cut the remaining half of the bear's paw into the pot-thanks to the bear's paw given by the goddess! Goddess, I have put too much salt in tm ... "

I:"……"

Bingtis stared blankly at the **** man who used the robe of the priest as an apron, wiped his hands on the robe, and changed the Bible casually, muttering to himself: "... is this the priest in the village?"

I immediately thought that there might not be much to ask from this uncle's mouth--the Bible in his hand may not have been read carefully. Ask him to consult the goddess legend that I might as well steal his book ...

Lin Xue dragged Bingtis' arm, and his face was a little bit crying and can't help but said: "What, Bing, don't go too far. This is a religion created with a USB flash drive as its core. Their teachings and stars Definitely out of place ... "

The young lady wanted to calm down and prevent her from killing that black uncle in front of the idol on the spot with majestic star power. As a result, the next sentence of ice sister was beyond everyone's expectation: "This believer is so appetizing. There was a pope who was almost exactly the same as his spleen before he died--unfortunately, the child was dead when his body was sealed. I have never met such a believer in two years ... "

I:"……"

This is understandable ~ www.readwn.com ~ Bing Sister's standard for recruiting believers is almost temperament. I peeked at the spirited female hooligan, and figured out what her pope had become in order to make this hooligan boss feel right. Appetite, finally came to a conclusion: if Sister Bing's status is high enough, if a believer is thrown into any church with a normal view, it probably belongs to the country and the people ...

But I looked around again, looking at the cheerful children and the smiling villagers, and the uncle Hei who still whispered with the goddess as if she were a family member, and in three prayers he complained, and suddenly felt like this The believer is not bad: The maverick "priest" may not be very educated, but I believe he is sincere to the goddess of his belief.

Bingtis seemed to sense what I was thinking, and he said leisurely: "The believer who prays and trembles in the night before the statue may not be sincere, he may be guilty or he may be private. But a believer sitting in front of the idol who complains about it for any grievances with the idol for a long time is absolutely sincere. He prefers to treat the second type of believer as a child. But sometimes they are too annoying and they send a The incarnation popped out of the idol and gave them a mouthful: how old are they still crying in the confession room ... "

I opened my mouth and didn't say anything: it's hard to imagine what people were in the Bing Sister Deity!
