Chapter 103 – High Priest
Fenghook Mountain, as the name suggests, because of the unique landform environment, the wind will form a handful of sharp hooks here, which can scratch the clothes in the slightest, and tear the skin in severe cases.In the entire Fenghook Mountain, except for a small palm-sized plain at the leeward side, there is no grass growing on the entire mountain, and the living conditions are extremely harsh.
Of course, monsters with rough skin and thick flesh will not be afraid of the hook-shaped mountain wind, but there is really no benefit to enjoy in this ghostly place, so even if Fenggou Mountain produces a very good stone, the monster is unwilling to personally Go mining.
It's okay if the monsters don't want to go, isn't there still humans like ants?Anyway, there are a huge number of baizi, so just fill them in one by one. Even if a human life is exchanged for a cart of stones, it is an extremely cost-effective deal for monsters.
The only thing that annoys the monsters is the management of Fenghook Mountain. The balance of the world looks like everywhere else, but this mine is the only one where rebellions happen one after another.
The reason is nothing more than two - the conditions are too difficult, no monsters are willing to garrison Fenghook Mountain all the year round, so that the management force is extremely insufficient; and the second reason is also because of the difficult conditions. The real chiseling of stones is death in the end, and the vigorous resistance is also death in the end.
Therefore, the rebellion in Fenghook Mountain was not the first time in the world, and I am afraid... it will not be the last time.
But Xiran is really tired of this, he really hopes that this matter can have a conclusion, even if the happy ending is a bit demanding, at least it can give everyone a satisfactory explanation.Since the suppressed army of monster beasts changed batches after batches and failed to achieve this in the end, then this time he can only pin his hope on humans.
The ministers thought that the emperor's approach was unique, even perverse.But Xiran was thinking, since sticking to the rules is unable to change the status quo, why not try another way?
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Bai Zi will collude with the unruly people in Fenggou Mountain after he gets the military power?" Lou Tianyao, who had returned to his normal state, asked.
Change or persistence, such issues that require a long time and a lot of energy to ponder for the time being, the most urgent issue raised by the patriarch of the Fox clan.
Obviously, Lou Tianyao was not the only one who thought of this, all the officials looked at the emperor above, their expressions were like those carved out of a mold who cared about the country and the people.
It would be fine if he was really an out-and-out dictator, but Xiran still has a little bit of the temperament of a wise monarch in his bones.After thinking about it for a while, I still decided to confess to all the ministers, not for anything else, just ask for a clean ear.
"I have ordered the local garrison to be on standby at any time. If something happens to Fenghook Mountain, they will not be caught off guard."
Who said the emperor can do whatever he wants?The one who does whatever he wants should be called a faint king.As long as there is still a little sense of responsibility, it is inevitable to think deeply, think far, take into account the overall situation, and consider everything, for fear that there may be something that is not well thought out.And it was this meticulous way of thinking that made the emperor imprison himself in a cocoon.
The ministers didn't expect the emperor to prepare a countermeasure, and while looking at each other, they didn't know what to say.
Of course, the most satisfactory result of today's court meeting is that the emperor takes back the military power to deal with that lowly Baizi. It would be the best if he could kill the guy who confused the Charming Lord with one blow.But everyone knew that, even if they had uttered all their saliva today, they still wouldn't be able to achieve that effect.
Even though Emperor Xiran was not deaf and blind, even if he often showed a casual attitude towards the advice of his courtiers, he could still listen to a sentence or two.However, after all, the emperor still has his own decisions, if everything is led by the nose, then he, the emperor, doesn't have to do it anymore.
What is the difference between monarch and minister, this is it.Although the party in the lower position can express his own opinions, he can even bring a little scheming and means when dealing with some affairs.However, courtiers can never control the emperor, only what the emperor says can be called the golden rule.
On the one hand, he insisted on entrusting the military power to that person. On the other hand, in order to prevent him from defecting, he also took corresponding preventive measures.This is undoubtedly a result acceptable to both monarchs and ministers, and it can be regarded as a delicate balance between the two.
It doesn't make any sense to continue the court meeting, so it's over.
----
According to Xiran's temperament, after sitting in the hall for a long time, he could only see a dome when he looked up, without a trace of the sky. Such an aggrieved environment almost killed him.After finally dismissing the pestering ministers, he would not immediately lock himself in the house to deal with government affairs.
So what if it's the emperor?Could it be that the emperor can only die from overwork without even having the right to take a breath?
Xiran looked for a legitimate excuse for his laziness, but he was able to penetrate a thousand miles away in such a breath.
This is also due to the talent of monsters, besides, this one has wings, even if he just flaps his wings casually, the vicissitudes of life are just passing scenery.
Xi Ran, who has been reluctant to settle down for a long time, looked down at a mirror lake inlaid in the mountains below. The lake was calm without a trace of streaks, blue in the blue, radiant and lovely to the extreme, and reluctantly entered this place. The emperor's eye.
Xiran folded her wings slightly, and just fell down.
Wherever the mountains are precipitous, they are usually prone to strong winds.But miraculously, there was no wind by the lake, not even a slight breeze.If the timing is not too coincidental, then it can only show that this place is an out-and-out geomantic treasure land with a unique natural environment.
However, Xi Ran didn't have the energy to think about this, he looked at the lake shore without blinking, it turned out that this inaccessible place was not completely empty.
This woman gave people a very thin impression, even though she was covered with water-blue gauze skirts, the material was too thin and transparent, and it didn't look like it could keep warm and keep out the cold.The hair hanging on the back is also blue, but it is darker than the gauze skirt. She doesn't wear any accessories, and her soft hair winds down along the beautiful back line.
A large part of the hair tail and the hem of the skirt has been immersed in the lake water.Looking along the past, you will find a dark shadow in the water. Although it is incredible, you can still see that it looks like a fish tail.
The tail of the fish is floating, sparkling like a flower.
The woman stood sideways, and she seemed to be used to lowering her head slightly, so it was difficult to see her face clearly from Xi Ran's angle.But this graceful demeanor immediately reminded him of a word - Gu Ying self-pity.
"Meow——" What broke the silence was an abrupt meow, and from the milky sound of that voice, one could tell that the cat was still very young.
Xi Ran saw the woman flustered, and she didn't know if it was because she was not used to holding such a thing, or because the little kitty was born with the physique of a strong man, so she broke free from her embrace.
The cat's stature has not yet grown up, and its four calves are ridiculously short, but this does not hinder its speed. It rushed to the uninvited guest twice with "cengceng", and the white hair all over its body exploded. The round ice blue eyes stared fiercely at Xi Ran.
If you don't look at its trembling body, it can indeed be called mighty and majestic.
Xiran whistled without the dignity of a king, "Oh, you are quite protective of the Lord." He squatted down halfway, as if he wanted to touch the little milk cat's neck, but the other party was completely scared. Still not giving face, he slid away for a while.
Xi Ran didn't force her, she stood up, shrugged her shoulders, and laughed at herself, "It's a good thing I didn't bring my wolf here today, otherwise this little guy would hate me even more."
"It's not annoying, it's just scary." The woman left the lake, and she didn't care how uncomfortable the soaked skirt was sticking to her calf, she walked over step by step, gracefully.
Strictly speaking, a woman's appearance is far less gorgeous than Xi Ran's, her appearance is reserved and dignified, and her brows seem to be stained with a layer of sorrow, people just take a look at her and feel vaguely for her Distressed.
In a half-monster state, with a human body and fish tail, and that kind of compassionate sadness, this person is undoubtedly the high priest, Hao Yan.
Xiran seemed to be a little interested, so he asked casually, "Where did you get such a little thing? Didn't there never be such a fluffy animal on your island?"
"It was given by someone else." Hao Yan's explanation was very succinct, saying it was tantamount to not saying it.The white kitten took this opportunity to jump into her arms again, showing a very comfortable look between the snuggles.
Hao Yan seemed to want to open her mouth to say something to the visitor, but she just frowned with a complicated face, probably because she was not used to asking for help, so she stood there frozen for a long time.
Finally, Hao Yan opened his mouth as if making up his mind, calling out the other party's name, "Xiran, can I entrust it to you? When the day I have to die, please take some time to take care of it."
Xi Ran frowned, and asked without answering, "It's just a cat. I've never seen you so special to other creatures. What's so special about it? Or is it the giver who is so special?"
The nature of the high priest is like this, he has compassion for everything in the world, but this kind of compassion is high above, and there is absolutely no bias in the slightest.To put it simply, this is selfless fraternity.But a person can only put so many emotions together, and after dividing them equally, I'm afraid there won't be much left in him.What Xi Ran said is correct, Hao Yan has always been indifferent to the people around her day and night.
Hao Yan obviously didn't expect that the eccentric emperor would involve the giver, he couldn't help being very surprised, and then shook his head. "I just think it's innocent. It wasn't a member of my clan. It's just an ignorant animal. It really shouldn't bear the karma of a monster."
Xi Ran just raised his eyebrows, regardless of what he really thought in his heart, but at least on the surface it seemed that he had accepted Hao Yan's words.
"It's not a monster. Even if it gets my care, it's uncertain how long it will live. Unless it encounters some rare opportunity, it may be able to continue its life, but I don't think that's a good thing." He said It is neither a promise nor a refusal, but a statement of facts.
Hao Yan was slightly taken aback. She has served as the high priest of the whole clan of monsters and beasts for many years, allowing her to have the insight and exquisite heart to see through the world, so she quickly relieved, "I made the rude request, please don't take it to heart."
Among the two people present, one of them was quite eloquent, but he couldn't bear to meet such a conversation partner, so he had no choice but to learn that silence is golden.
Another more important reason, Xi Ran probably wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death, because he was afraid of this high priest deep in his heart.Unlike the attitude of respecting the elderly when facing Meishu, this should be regarded as a real fear.This person, Hao Yan, clearly understands the cause and effect that others will never know, yet she can still maintain her current calmness, her seemingly weak body has never bent.This kind of tenacity, Xi Ran thinks she may not be able to achieve it.
In the end, the one who broke the silence turned out to be the inarticulate Hao Yan, "Why did you come to me specifically?"
Xi Ran didn't answer right away, but looked around, and found that although the grass on the ground had dried up and turned yellow after the season, it was surprisingly thick, like a naturally formed meadow.He picked the most comfortable one, lying on his back with no image at all, folded his hands behind his head, and half-closed his eyes, as if he might fall asleep at any time.
It's not enough to put on a show, Xi Ran said, leisurely, "I'm not looking for you, I just came out for a walk. This is not your paradise island, we will meet here , it was just a coincidence.”
Others may be fooled by the emperor, but the high priest will not, and this woman has never had a little understanding of the most trivial ways of the world, so she doesn't know what fear is—even if other courtiers eat bear heart and leopard gall She didn't dare to expose the emperor's lies to her face, but Hao Yan was different, no matter what she discovered, she would always speak out.
"With your ability, it doesn't take much effort to perceive someone's location. If it is someone you don't want to meet, you will never be able to meet him by chance."
The emperor just choked.If anyone's lies are exposed in such a face-to-face, they will inevitably feel a little embarrassed.Xiran was also an exception, he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, he just didn't know how to answer the words.He couldn't get past the casual lies, but he really didn't want to mention the real business, so he was inevitably caught in a dilemma.
After thinking about it, Xi Ran quickly found out a half-truth and half-false sentence, "I'm going to deal with some troubles today, I want to talk to someone, and someone who is as rigid as Lou Tianyao is definitely not a good person to chat with, so I'm here to find you."
Hao Yan is probably used to talking with him, even though most of the time he can't understand Xi Ran's expression of refusal, but he can find out one or two truthful sentences from his vast amount of nonsense.That's right, the priestess' judgment was accurate, "Did you really give the military power to that person? Aren't you afraid that your step is too wrong?"
Of course, monsters with rough skin and thick flesh will not be afraid of the hook-shaped mountain wind, but there is really no benefit to enjoy in this ghostly place, so even if Fenggou Mountain produces a very good stone, the monster is unwilling to personally Go mining.
It's okay if the monsters don't want to go, isn't there still humans like ants?Anyway, there are a huge number of baizi, so just fill them in one by one. Even if a human life is exchanged for a cart of stones, it is an extremely cost-effective deal for monsters.

Therefore, the rebellion in Fenghook Mountain was not the first time in the world, and I am afraid... it will not be the last time.
