Nine Star Hegemony Technique

Chapter 1198 The High Priest

Nima, why do you have to kneel, buddies are not used to this tune.

Long Chen looked at the devout faces of the crowd and kowtowed to the statue. He couldn't help being stunned. He was standing alone, which was too conspicuous.

Although Long Chen knew that this was a statue of Dionysus, a symbol of the inheritance of Dionysus, and also represented the orthodoxy of Dionysus, kneeling down to the statue was a sign of respect for the gods.

This is not a kind of submission, but a kind of etiquette, but Long Chen can't kneel down.

But everyone knelt down, it seemed that Long Chen was too unruly and impolite, Ma De, this is a etiquette, this is a etiquette, this is a etiquette, Long Chen kept admonishing himself, telling himself that this is etiquette, It's the same as bowing.

Just as Long Chen bent his knees, the voice of the high priest suddenly came: "Everyone, come in, the thin wine has been prepared, please have a few friends to taste."

High Priest, you are so handsome, I, Long Chen, appreciate you, don't worry, I will never lie to you for drinking, Long Chen is overjoyed, this saves him from kneeling and prostrating.

Only then did everyone get up, but when they looked at Long Chen, they all had strange expressions on their faces.

Because everyone knelt down from the bottom of their hearts. They had to kneel and couldn't resist. It was a kind of reverence for the gods from the depths of their souls. Only when they knelt down and saluted could they feel at ease.

"Long Chen, you are so arrogant, isn't even Dionysus worthy of your worship?" Seeing that Long Chen did not kneel down to worship the statue of Dionysus, Han Wenjun taunted him directly, intending to let the high priest expel Long Chen.

"It's none of your business?" Long Chen glanced at Han Wenjun, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. What a villain, what a prince, it's disgusting.

Zi Yan looked at Long Chen, but there was a burst of horror in her heart. She didn't have any jealousy. What she thought of was how Long Chen could ignore the power of God. Could it be that he was so arrogant that he could even ignore the gods? what?

Hearing the call of the high priest, everyone stepped forward quickly, just as they left the statue.

"Crack..."

There were slight cracks on the statue, but the cracks were very small and the sound was very soft. Everyone's cultivation was deprived, so they didn't feel it.

In fact, the moment Long Chen just bent his knees, the statue trembled slightly, and at that moment, the high priest called everyone in.

When everyone walked into the hall, they saw an old man with a kind face and a childlike face, sitting on the ground, looking at everyone with a smile.

"The disciple sees the high priest."

After everyone came in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted. The high priest was the most powerful person in the Dionysus Palace, and they were all in awe.

"Don't be too polite, come and sit!"

The high priest smiled and pointed to the futon in front of him.

From left to right on the futon are Zi Yan, Long Chen, Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong, Han Wenjun and Li Wanji. After sitting down, the six of them looked at the high priest in front of them.

The high priest looked like a very ordinary old man with no sense of cultivation. He was dressed in sackcloth and had a wooden staff by his side. It looked like ordinary wood, not any weapon.

But sitting in front of the high priest made people feel extraordinarily peaceful, kind and natural, without any sense of restraint.

"The old man hasn't communicated with the guests for a long time. Today is lucky. Talk to the young people more, and the old man can recover a little bit of vitality." The high priest said with a smile.

"Grandpa High Priest, in fact, you are not old at all." The girl Xia Youluo was straightforward, and immediately comforted her.

"If you replace grandpa with elder brother, you won't be old at all." Long Chen couldn't help smiling, but soon his face froze.

Because I don't know why, Long Chen just thought in his heart, but he just said it out of his mouth. Long Chen looked at the high priest in shock, what kind of ability is this?
"Long Chen, don't be rude." This time, even Zi Yan gave Long Chen a look. This guy is too much, even dare to make jokes about the high priest, and everyone else is stupid. This must be too bold.

"Hahaha"

The high priest laughed and said: "It's okay, young people should look like young people, otherwise when you reach my age, you will regret that you were too cautious when you were young."

Long Chen was also a little embarrassed, but he was also a little frightened. The high priest was probably more terrifying than he imagined, and he couldn't even say what he meant.

"Disciple Ziyan, I'm here to pay homage to the priest and listen to the teaching of the priest." Ziyan said respectfully.

"The old man has nothing to teach you. What you can get away with is just a few jars of old wine." The high priest shook his head and smiled.

After speaking, there was an extra jar in his hand, poured a bowl of wine in front of everyone, and made a gesture of please.

Long Chen picked up the wine bowl and found that there seemed to be endless turbid objects in the wine, but upon closer inspection, he was shocked to find that those turbid objects were actually runes.

Runes surged in the wine, locking all the energy in the runes. When the wine entered the throat, the endless runes melted instantly, like a river bursting its embankment, rushing towards the limbs and bones of a person.

"buzz"

The bodies of the people glowed, the runes emerged, and the power of heaven and earth rushed to them, and the laws of Taoism flowed, wrapping them up, but there was only one person except Long Chen.

The rune power surged in Long Chen's body, nourishing Long Chen's body non-stop. Long Chen's pores were all opened, as if to absorb the energy of the world.

But those energies didn't care about Long Chen at all, they flew over the body and flew directly to the other five people, just like six chicks waiting to be fed, others were being fed, but Long Chen didn't give it to them.

"This is the wine brewed in the prime of my life. It can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and smelt oneself. Come, please taste the second wine."

After speaking, everyone poured another bowl of wine in their hands, but this bowl of wine was crystal clear and pleasantly fragrant. After swallowing it into the abdomen, the power of the wine slowly dissipated and wandered back and forth in the body.

Compared with the fierce and domineering one before, the second bowl of wine is more mellow and lingering, with endless aftertaste. Long Chen can't feel the power of heaven, but he can see the contented and relaxed expression on the faces of Ziyan and others. Obviously, they have all entered a strange state.

Long Chen couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart. It seemed that his visit this time was for nothing. It seemed that the last wine tasting had nothing to do with him.

"This third bowl is Lao Jiu's new creation in recent years, please taste it."

Long Chen picked up the third bowl of wine, and after drinking it, he couldn't help but be amazed, this is not wine, it is clearly water.

Not only Long Chen was stunned, but even Zi Yan and the others were all puzzled. Obviously what they drank was water. Zi Yan's beautiful eyes flashed, as if she had realized something.

"Thank you, High Priest, for your reminder. Zi Yan is very grateful. The starting point is the end point. Only by being reborn and breaking through the cocoon can you jump out of the original track and pursue a higher realm." Zi Yan saluted the High Priest respectfully.

"From the great way to simplicity, breaking the square to form a circle, breaking the surface with a point, and covering the whole with a partial, is the inheritance of the gods and the extension of the Tao." The high priest said.

Zi Yan was overjoyed, and thanked the high priest again, her pretty face was full of gratitude.

"The disciple is in trouble and unable to break through the barrier. Now that the high priest reminded me, I suddenly realized." Zi Yan said respectfully.

"Hehe, the old man is not qualified to mention you. He just invited you to drink a few bowls of beer wine. I don't dare to take credit for it." The high priest laughed.

"Several of you can visit other places in the Dionysus Palace, maybe there are other gains. I have a few words, and I want to discuss it with Long Chen alone."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Long Chen in disbelief. The high priest actually had something to say to Long Chen alone.

Moreover, the high priest's tone was already very obvious, and everyone had to leave, but jealousy appeared on the faces of Han Wenjun and Li Wanji.

The goal of Han Wenjun's visit this time is to meet the high priest. For this reason, he has practiced wine skills for three years, and he has mastered all kinds of etiquette and knowledge about wine tasting and wine making. .

As for the craftsmanship, ingredients, and year of the wine, you only need to smell it once, and you can accurately tell the key points.

Originally, this time, he wanted to rely on his wine skills to gain the favor of the Dionysus Palace and be received by the high priest.

However, the high priest saw it now, but he only drank three bowls of wine and failed to even have a positive conversation. He was about to be driven away, and he was extremely anxious.

"My lord, Dahan intends to invite the Dionysus Palace to open a branch palace in Dahan to spread the brilliance of Dionysus to more places." Han Wenjun said hurriedly.

"It's a good thing, the old man will consider it." The high priest smiled slightly.

Han Wenjun couldn't help being overjoyed, so he turned around and went out with the crowd. Seeing the crowd going out, Long Chen said:

"Master Priest, you must not go to the ancient country of Korea to open a branch palace."

"Oh? Why is that?" asked the high priest.

"Because I went to the ancient country of Korea, Dionysus is likely to be from Korea." Long Chen said with a serious face.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter where the Dionysus is, as long as he can lead the way of wine correctly. I'm just afraid that some people will misinterpret the original intention of the Dionysus, and the crime will be serious."

The high priest smiled and said: "Leave me alone today, if you have any doubts in your heart, just say it, the old man can say it, and he will know everything."

Even Long Chen didn't know why the high priest was so special to him, so he couldn't help being flattered.

"The disciple really has something to ask the priest for help..." Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then expressed his original intention of refining medicinal wine, and handed the medicinal wine he prepared to the priest for tasting.

"It's so effective just by making it up, it's simply amazing." This time even the high priest was moved by it.

"The boy has a certain amount of research on alchemy, and hopes to have a mutually beneficial exchange with the wine path of the Dionysus Palace.

Now these wines are just blended wines, with limited medicinal effects. Dan Dao and Jiu Dao are blended, and the focus is on the brewing process.

In this process, the way of alchemy and the way of wine confirm each other. I believe it will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the disciples of the Dionysus Palace, otherwise the Dionysian Palace would not have cooperated with Pill Valley.

And the disciples will guarantee with their personality that there will never be such treacherous things as Pill Valley. The beneficiaries of all the medicinal wines are people around me, and they will never blaspheme the Dionysus. "Long Chen looked at the high priest very solemnly and said.
