Obviously the old priest who came all the way to find a way out, but now he looked at Lin Xu as if he saw a scourge.He was at a loss, and used a fierce facial expression to hide his panic—for a priest, maintaining their belief in their original gods is their most important dignity.

But now, the old priest looked at the young god in front of him, his teeth were chattering with fear, as if he was about to swallow his own tongue, his hands kept shaking, and he muttered words in his mouth.

Lin Xu felt that he was probably begging his gods to guide him on his way.

It's just that Lin Xu doesn't feel that different beliefs have any relationship or hindrance.The beliefs at this time are different from those in the present world. They don't have very clear dogmas, and there are no restrictions.The function of the gods in this period is to be the object of prayer when people don't know the way forward or when their lives are in danger.In the present world, people who do not believe in Buddhism will pray to God and Buddha for psychological comfort when they encounter something.

"You and your people can still believe in your original god." Lin Xu said generously, "It's just that you can't use human life as a sacrifice. In our tribe, human life is very precious."

From the old priest's point of view, this is Lin Xu's concession to him, which makes him in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he was indeed attracted by everything about this tribe, and was impressed by Lin Xu's different attitudes.

On the other hand, he wanted to maintain his priestly pride and was unwilling to bow down to the persecution of reality.

"You don't have to make a decision now. You must be tired along the way. You can rest in the tribe for two days before deciding whether to bring your tribe here. You can still be the leader of your tribe, but you cannot be called a priest. .In our place, the position of managing a group of people is called the team leader." Only then did Lin Xu say the most critical point.

Sacrifice is the core of a tribe, they control not only power, but also the hearts of the people of the tribe.

For the people of the tribe, what the priest said was right, and the decision made by the priest must be completed no matter what the price was.Because sacrifices are God's spokesperson in the world.

What Lin Xu wanted to do was not to immediately step down their original priests, but to slowly weaken the rights of the priests by boiling frogs in warm water.

The old priest was obviously shaken. He looked into Lin Xu's eyes, as if he wanted to see from Lin Xu's eyes that Lin Xu was lying.

Lin Xu smiled at him, and stretched out his hand to him: "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

As soon as the word "eat" appeared, the old priest swallowed involuntarily, the taste of instant noodles was still on the tip of his tongue, that strange but inexplicably sweet food.His old arms and legs didn't seem to stop his brain's command, and he followed Lin Xu out of the leisure room in a daze.

Now the tribe no longer has a kitchen, and everyone cooks and eats in their own houses. It is said that cooking is actually very simple.Most of them just take salt and seasonings collected before.

Lin Xu's cooking skills are not good, it is not very delicious, and it is not enough in this world.

But it is very simple to cook for the old priest who has never eaten anything good. He spread the cake with batter and eggs.There are shredded pork and some soaked dried vegetables on it. There is no sauce, so I sprinkled some salt. The original taste is still very delicious.

The old priest looked thin and short, but he had a stomach like a bottomless pit.

He sat on a stool in the living room of Lin Xu and Ke Si's house, and ate with his arms thrown away, with coals burning in the corner.The old priest didn't feel cold.

After eating and drinking, the old priest finally had time to look at the house. It was a strange building—he had never seen cement and bricks before. He looked at all this in amazement and asked, "What do you use?" How do you find such a big rock and make it like this? Did you dig it out with that thing called a shovel?"

Lin Xu shook his head: "This is not a stone. We have made something as hard as a stone. It will not be eroded by heavy snow and rainstorms. Even in the hottest summer, it will not be stuffy and unable to move around."

If the old priest thought that what Lin Xu said about his tribe was bragging before, then he completely believed it now. In his eyes, Lin Xu should be a new god.Only the newly born gods will personally take care of their own people in the lower realms. The more people believe in him, the stronger he will be, and he will leave this world.

But even so, there is a god in a tribe who is willing to take care of him personally, which is something that can be met but not sought after.Just thinking about it, you know how many benefits there are.

"If you come here, you can live the life you are living now. Your people don't need to lose their will to survive because of the severe cold, and they don't need to let their living children serve as sacrifices. You can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Even in the coldest winter, you can live like spring. It is safe here, and my people are also very good. They will not bully the newcomers, nor will they deprive them of their share." Lin Xu followed the temptation .

"Here, as long as you are willing to work and do things, whether you are a warrior or a weak old man, you can get what you deserve."

The old priest seemed to be intimidated by Lin Xu, but he still hesitated.

"Are you going to let your people die of cold and starvation?!" Lin Xu scolded angrily, "If they know, you, the patriarch they trust, obviously have a chance to save them, and you obviously have a chance to let them Live dignifiedly, but let them die because of their own selfishness?"

The old priest shrank his neck suddenly, yes, what he was most afraid of was that the tribe would blame him.

Obviously he was trying his best, even if he gave everything, he wanted the clansmen to survive.

As long as one of them survives, the tribe is not considered extinct.

After Lin Xu said these words, he returned to his gentle manner, smiled and said to the old priest: "You can move around this house as you like, just don't close the vents by the windows, I have something to do, you can think about it yourself consider."

Lin Xu opened the door, and went back to the ice and snow again. An De waited at Lin Xu's door for a long time, and when he saw Lin Xu coming out, he immediately put his frozen red face in front of Lin Xu.Although Ande looks like an adult, his personality is still like a big child, a little bit jumpy, so Lin Xu has never made up his mind to let him really become the captain of the Guards.

"Tell me, what's the matter, you've been waiting here for me?" Lin Xu smiled and patted Ander's head.

Ander wasn't embarrassed either. He pouted and said not so happily, "You've been out for so long and made us worry, so you brought an old man back? Is this old man that important?"

This child's speech is really not very pleasant. He is obviously a person who is worried about others, so he has the meaning of blaming him.Fortunately, Lin Xu knew him well, but he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "He's not an old man, or he's not just an old man."

Andrew couldn't understand: "Then what is he? Could it be that he is also a god like you?"

Lin Xu sighed: "He is a priest of a tribe."

"What?!" An De couldn't control his volume, he reacted after being glared at by Lin Xu, and whispered in Lin Xu's ear, "Are you looking for a priest to come back? Are you leaving? You need to choose Priests to convey your oracle? But even so, you shouldn’t find priests from other tribes, they believe in other gods, and they won’t convert so easily.”

Lin Xu looked at Ande inscrutablely: "I can't tell, you're pretty smart."

This compliment made Ande immediately forget what he was going to say just now, he touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and looked at Lin Xu with big eyes like a puppy, his face looked even redder He said, "Isn't that what you taught me? It must be a gift from Chris that I am so smart."

... When did this kid learn to flatter?

Lin Xu laughed: "Okay, so you waited so long just to come and ask me about this?"

"Oh!" Andy patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot the business."

Andrew said: "During this time, all the tribes are having a hard time. The few small tribes nearby are all gone, and the medium-sized tribes are only struggling to survive. Only a few large tribes can barely survive. Just in the morning, there was a medium-sized tribe Some people came to us and wanted to join our tribe. At that time, you and the patriarch were not there. I didn’t dare to make up my mind, so I didn’t open the door of the tribe. Let them leave the route to their tribe.”

"I've said it all, if you and the patriarch agree, we will send someone to notify them."

"Good job." Lin Xu nodded, "Unless there are special circumstances, don't open the door to strangers. Who knows whether it's a sheep or a jackal."

An De looked at Lin Xu in a daze.

sheep?Jackal?What are these two things?

"Are you free now? What's on hand?" Lin Xu asked suddenly.

Andrew let out an "ah", thought for a while, and found that he seemed to have nothing to do except patrol, and the time for his patrol had come, and Hull took over after that, so he shook his head honestly: "There is nothing to do."

Lin Xu nodded: "Success, then you and I will take a trip to see that tribe, and you will tell me the specific situation on the way."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xu walked towards the gate with one long leg, and An De followed closely behind.

The two were walking in the forest, and the medium-sized tribe was not far or near from them for more than half a day, and it had always been well watered before.If you come to ask for help at this time, either you really can't live on, or you have other thoughts.

Lin Xu doesn't want to speculate on others with malice, but he is not only a person now, every decision he makes is related to the life and death of the tribe.

"Only three people came over this morning. They were all warriors of good age, but their bodies were covered with frostbite. It seemed that they had not eaten for a long time. They said that because of their old age, and the weather during this time, Passed away from illness. Now the people of the tribe are in panic, and their patriarch has nothing to do. They have already sacrificed to the gods, but they still use the patriarch's two children as sacrifices, and the situation has not improved, so they want to ask us for help." Andrew said as he walked. .

Ande spoke extremely fast, as long as he was talking about business, he didn't look like he just escaped at all.

Lin Xu nodded: "Everything will be discussed after we see it with our own eyes."
