Chapter 795 Meeting the Gods
"what?"
Hearing the words of Grand Priest Mei, Song Haiyin's pupils dilated slightly, and a few ripples appeared in his eyes.
Great Priest Mei looked at her quietly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "The people you rescued, especially those who have fallen into the disaster of strange transformation... This method, Cao Qian is right, it can never be an ordinary method."
"Now, you can do something that even the temple can't do."
"What's more, after the treatment, you asked them to pray to the 'Earth Mother' for protection. Although the wording you used was very euphemistic, it was obvious that it was another god."
Song Haiyin tightened her fingertips slightly.
She thought she was being secretive enough, but she never imagined that not only Cao Qian, but even the Great Priest Mei was secretly watching her every move.
Noticing Song Haiyin's slightly panicked look, High Priest Mei softened his tone a bit: "Don't worry, I have been covering it up for you all along."
"If I hadn't been busy preparing for the Divine Blessing Ceremony this time, I wouldn't have let that Cao Qian kid get there first."
Song Haiyin loosened his palm slightly, nodded slightly, and said softly: "...Thank you, High Priest."
Great Priest Mei looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Then, can you tell me? Who exactly is this 'Mother Earth'?"
Song Haiyin took a deep breath and calmed down, "Why does the High Priest want to know?"
"Because, continuing to be a high priest whose god has disappeared will not benefit the Tang Kingdom, which is heading towards its end, or even the other three kingdoms."
His voice was low, with a hint of deep fatigue between his old brows: "If there is another way, I would like to take a look."
"What's more, according to reliable information, Mobei... has also begun to quietly believe in 'Mother Earth'."
Song Haiyin's heart was slightly shaken, and he suddenly raised his eyes: "Mobei?"
Great Priest Mei nodded, frowning slightly: "Just like you, hidden and not publicized, but already taking root quietly."
"It's just that... since I can hear it, the Temple will find out sooner or later."
"By then, your actions will surely come into their sight."
"And the Tang Kingdom Temple - must also make a decision in advance."
What Grand Priest Mei said makes sense.
Song Haiyin has indeed influenced countless people along the way.
She had never publicized the existence of the Earth Mother. However, as more and more people were saved by the protection of the Earth Mother, this belief had already surged like a tide.
This tide will eventually surge at the foot of the temple.
And what will she do then?
What will happen to the Tang State Temple?
Song Haiyin bit her lower lip and looked up at the Great Priest Mei, with a determined look in her eyes.
"In that case, I will take you to meet the Earth Mother."
The slightly hunched body of the great priest Mei trembled slightly.
Meeting the gods?
He has been the high priest of the Supreme God for so many years, but has he ever actually seen the Supreme God?
That’s right, the face of the Supreme God has always been hanging above the sky.
However, the longer High Priest Mei came into contact with that face, the more he felt that it was terribly fake.
However, he never expressed this idea to anyone else.
Once he tells it, not only will he lose his position as high priest, but even his life will be in danger.
The elder brother of the Minister of Works, the conceited fellow named "Ling Fu", caused the destruction of the Imperial Observatory because of his observation of the sky, and he himself could never recover from that and just barely managed to save his life.
Then there was a researcher named "Ji Nan" under his sister Mei Yuting. He went crazy because he used things that were not supposed to be used to observe the Supreme God. No one knew what he had spied on.
Eventually, all his notes and training logs were erased.
Including Ji Nan.
However, the great priest Mei still vaguely understood a few words.
"Can't respond...can't respond..."
It is said that Ji Nan repeated this sentence over and over again before he died.
This is what Mei Yuting heard when he went to the prison to see Ji Nan off for the last time before his execution.
These words, like a poisonous thorn, pierced deeply into the heart of Great Priest Mei.
He never mentioned it to anyone, but he always felt uneasy.
But how to find out the truth?
How to truly understand the Supreme God?
This may be human greed.
It is not enough to receive God’s gift; one also hopes to be close to God, to understand God, to be close to God…
"so……"
He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, and asked in a deep voice:
"How do we meet?"
"It's very simple."
Song Haiyin nodded slightly.
He raised his hand to the storage bag at his waist, and under the slightly puzzled gaze of High Priest Mei, he took out the spiritual message.
"Just go online." Song Haiyin said calmly.
Priest Mei: "???"
With a puzzled look on his face, he watched Song Haiyin fiddle with the spiritual message and open the icon of [Qixuan Mountain].
A faint fairy sound of activation, which was very familiar to the Great Priest Mei and which he heard every day, was heard. Then a ray of light fell on the two of them, capturing their minds.
Between the green mountains and clear waters, the two people slowly descended.
Song Haiyin stepped on the soft grass and could feel the touch of the fine grass stems with the soles of her boots.
She slowly raised her eyes and smiled: "High Priest, this is your first time entering..."
The sound suddenly stopped.
Because her eyes were raised to the Great Priest Mei in front of her, she was almost blinded by the equipment on him that was shining with golden and purple light.
"you……"
"This outfit is all legendary and epic, right? But..."
Song Haiyin widened her eyes, and saw that under the golden light on the Great Priest Mei's body was an exquisite, uh, straw raincoat emitting strands of golden light.
He wore a purple hat on his head, golden straw sandals on his feet, and in his hand was a fishing rod shining with golden light, with the fishhook shining with magical light.
But looking at this face, it is sculpted to be young and handsome, different from the old-fashioned Great Priest Mei on weekdays, and it does not match his current equipment.
"...High Priest, what are you doing?"
Great Priest Mei did not expect that his image on Skynet would be exposed in front of his subordinates.
His handsome face froze slightly, and he coughed softly: "Well, it's just a little hobby, nothing to mention."
Song Haiyin: "...Your equipment, your level, it took a long time, right?"
High Priest Mei avoided her probing gaze and coughed, "It's okay, it's okay."
Of course, Great Priest Mei would not say that he was in [Qixuan Mountain] all the time during his journey, either leveling up or fishing.
He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to meet the Earth Mother? Where are you going?"
Song Haiyin reluctantly withdrew her envious and even jealous gaze from the brilliant figure of Great Priest Mei.
"Mother Earth has appeared."
Great Priest Mei frowned and looked around: "What? Where?"
He looked at the unfamiliar scenery and subconsciously tightened the fishing rod in his hand.
In the distance, the peaks are like floating islands, staggered and stacked, floating between heaven and earth, looming in the misty fairy fog.
And between those floating mountains, waterfalls cascaded down from great heights, like an inverted river in the sky. White streams of light fell into the pool, reflecting dots of golden light.
Higher up in the sky, the rays of light are shining, and clouds and mist are shrouded, revealing an indescribable sacredness and majesty.
however--
In such a transcendent fairyland, it is eerily quiet.
Didn't see any other people or existence.
"Where exactly is this place?" Great Priest Mei couldn't help but mutter.
He had been immersed in Qixuan Mountain for a long time and claimed that he was familiar with every river and lake in this world, and even knew those hidden fishing spots.
If there were such magical waterfalls and clear ponds, he would have fished in them all long ago.
It looks like there are a lot of fish that you have never heard of.
"This... is Qixuan Mountain." Song Haiyin replied.
Great Priest Mei was suddenly shocked.
"Qixuan Mountain?"
This Qixuan Mountain is naturally the real Qixuan Mountain among the [Qixuan Mountains].
He asked solemnly, "You... can actually step into this place? Have you already entered the mountain gate?"
However, Song Haiyin shook her head slightly.
"No, I didn't become a disciple of the mountain sect."
"This...is not where I was when I logged off."
She raised her head slightly, looking at this quiet and solemn world, and spoke slowly with an indescribable respect in her tone:
"It was Lady Earth who brought us here."
Great Priest Mei's breathing paused slightly.
"From the moment we went online—"
Song Haiyin retracted her gaze and looked at him quietly, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved, revealing a gentle and determined smile.
"Mother Earth already knows."
"what?"
Hearing the words of Grand Priest Mei, Song Haiyin's pupils dilated slightly, and a few ripples appeared in his eyes.
Great Priest Mei looked at her quietly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "The people you rescued, especially those who have fallen into the disaster of strange transformation... This method, Cao Qian is right, it can never be an ordinary method."
