Chapter 705

"Welcome! Welcome, both of you!"

Looking at the badges with flowing luster on Leon's chest, and identifying the golden cat claw unique to "big customers," the priests guarding the core area of the gathering smiled even more brilliantly than blooming trumpet flowers.

After taking the initiative to open the door for the two and giving up the road to the core area, the female priest guarding the door bowed and asked Leon with a smile:

"Grain spirit walking under the shade of rice ears, singer hiding in the shadow of the bright moon, guard walking in the night curtain... may I ask which one you want to visit?"

Grain spirit? Singer? Guard?

Stunned by the female priest's question, Leon, who didn't know what she was talking about at all, didn't ask immediately, but upheld the principle of not answering if he didn't know, and returned a gentle smile. Senior Tang Mu beside him took the conversation at the right time and answered with a smile:

"We are all brothers and sisters who grew up eating rice, relying on the nourishment of heaven's light and fields. Naturally, there is only one choice... trouble you to point the way for us."

"You are polite, brothers and sisters of black scales and white spots, this is what I should do."

After finishing the "secret code" with Tang Mu, the female priest with snake scale-like patterns on her neck didn't ask any more, but turned and entered the door, leading Leon and the two into a sticky and cold slippery passage.

'Her question just now was asking which of the three Holy Spirits we are believers of.'

After putting his hand on Leon's shoulder, the lazy young man explained without moving his lips:

'The three Holy Spirits of the Weighing Gold Sect were once messengers of the agricultural and pastoral god before they were accepted and transformed by the true god of the Weighing Gold Sect.

The Snake Spirit was born from the farmer's prayer, hoping that snakes could hunt pests and sparrows in the fields to protect the rice from growing normally, but must not hurt themselves, so it is the grain spirit walking under the shade of rice ears;

The singer in the shadow of the bright moon means a toad croaking loudly while looking at the moon's reflection in the water, which is the one you killed and became the Holy Spirit Pendant. The wish it entrusted seems to be eliminating pests and larvae, so that the rice can be harvested stably;

As for the guard walking in the night curtain, it naturally refers to cats that come out at night and are responsible for guarding the granary, which has the intention of protecting food from being stolen and consumed, and just matches the behavior of cats catching mice in the granary.'

So that's it...

After roughly understanding the "secret language" just now, Leon asked puzzledly:

'According to this origin, these three Holy Spirits of the Weighing Gold Sect should be the kind of good spirits that entrust beautiful expectations.

But I have seen that toad before, it doesn't seem to have this feeling at all, but rather like a very cruel and evil evil spirit. What happened in the middle?'

'A lot of things did happen.'

Tang Mu nodded and said:

'Since the Keroque Kingdom started selling steam farm machinery, many people who were originally bound to farms and land to work for food have lost their identity as farmers, and the power of the agricultural and pastoral god has weakened a lot.

And rice also symbolizes wealth in a certain sense. Snakes that protect rice production are also protecting wealth, toads that help harvest are also nurturing wealth, and cats that guard granaries are also guarding wealth.

So these three apostles of the agricultural and pastoral god have a very good compatibility with the "wealth" authority of the true god of the Weighing Gold Sect, so they were taken over by him while the agricultural and pastoral god was weak and transformed into Holy Spirits under his seat.

As for why the three "good spirits" born from beautiful wishes became the evil and extreme appearance now... maybe because wealth makes people crazy?'

【Through the narration of Tang Mu Laien, a Level 1 cleaner of the Maiden Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, you have obtained a large amount of information about "Wealth-Changing Golden Toad", "Life-Changing Black Snake", and "Luck-Changing Flower Cat", and the heterochromatic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated.

Due to understanding the effective rules of "Wealth-Changing Golden Toad", "Life-Changing Black Snake", and "Luck-Changing Flower Cat", your resistance to this anomalous object has increased significantly, and you have been able to shield deeper levels of influence】

"Two, we have arrived."

When the mechanical system prompt ended, the dark passage also came to an end. After pushing open the small door at the end of the passage and making a gesture of please, the female priest guarding the door smiled and said:

"After you two crawl out from here, you will enter the secret shrine of the Snake Spirit Lord. Other brothers and sisters who are also preparing to visit are also waiting inside.

It's just that you came at an unfortunate time. Snake Spirit Lord is currently not here, having been delayed by some things, but according to the oracle left by the Lord before, he will be able to finish the things in his hands and rush back to the secret shrine to accept everyone's visit in at most half a day."

Still half a day?

After hearing the female priest's words, Leon couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and looked at the lazy young man who was also looking over.

If he didn't understand wrong, that "some things" should refer to the trapped Adjutant Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, and the half-day deadline is afraid to be the number of times of her immortality, the time needed to be completely "bought out", and this is still a conservative estimate. In fact, I am afraid it will be shorter!

Must speed up!

Either find Adjutant Auntie Auntie Ai Ma within half a day, or make enough noise within half a day to force that snake to run back by itself!

After reaching a consensus through eyes, Leon and the two politely said goodbye to the female priest responsible for leading the way, then leaned down one after another and drilled into the tight small door at the end of the passage.

"Sss?!!!"

After looking at his crimson slender body and the golden yellow plants that were as tall as trees around him, Leon couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise... or rather, with vertical pupils full of coldness.

"Sss~"

A sound like a snake spitting a letter rang out. A flower-spotted snake with a white background and red and blue spots leaned over, curled its tail and tapped lightly on the little red snake's body, and the lazy young man's familiar voice rang in Leon's heart.

'Don't panic, we didn't really become snakes. This is just a manifestation in the spirit for the convenience of visiting.

The Holy Spirit is not a true god after all, and cannot link so many chaotic souls at once, so it needs the effect of the secret shrine to make the believer's spirit temporarily converge. After leaving, it will be restored again.

Also, don't open your mouth to answer me.

The spirits of everyone who enters the secret shrine will be temporarily linked together, and you don't know how to cover up the fluctuation of your spirit yet. Opening your mouth directly is equal to shouting your thoughts to everyone here, and you will be exposed.'

Senior Tang Mu?

Looking at this flower-spotted snake with a white background and red and blue spots, whose color scheme is about the same as the dice, Leon, who calmed down, nodded, indicating that he roughly understood the situation in front of him, and then tried hard to control his tail, posing a not-so-standard "?"

'Are you asking what we should do next?'

Nod.

'Next, we must first go to a place with many snakes and find the priest of the Snake Spirit lineage. Only the chosen one who has received the blessing can actively contact the Holy Spirit in the secret shrine.'

After poking his head out of the shade formed by the rice ears and looking at the situation in the rice field, the flower-spotted snake transformed by the lazy young man said:

"You also help me find it. The priest of the Snake Spirit lineage has received the blessing. There should be a fine scale with black background and white patterns on the tail. As long as you find that black and white scale growing in reverse, we are equal to finding... uh..."

Looking at the fine black and white scale growing in reverse that the little red snake stretched out in front of him, the head of the flower-spotted snake couldn't help but tilt slightly, and spat out a letter with a confused face.

No... which side are you on?
