Chapter 796 Meeting Gift
Great Priest Mei was slightly startled and looked up.
Above the sky, the glow of the sky was rolling, and the outline of a huge monster slowly emerged.
It hangs high in the sea of clouds, so huge that it seems as if countless tentacles are extending from the golden light, entwining between the peaks and floating islands, and seem to be slowly wriggling.
Those tentacles are looming, almost transparent, and bathed in the glow of the sunset glow, giving people a feeling that is both transcendent, sacred, and unfathomable.
And with the appearance of this figure, the shadow of a ruined palace emerged in the air. Huge pillars fell down one after another, but most of them were broken and collapsed, with only two standing among the ruins.
Great Priest Mei looked up, his heart filled with shock beyond words.
But then I thought about it——
This is Qixuan Mountain. What kind of scenery have you not seen?
He even fished in a lake that was suspended upside down in the sky.
Although what he saw was shocking, it was far from enough to completely convince him.
Moreover, why is this "Mother Earth" in [Qixuan Mountain]?
Is there any connection between them?
Or is it that Song Haiyin is just possessed by a demon, and regards the gods in the game as real?
But it seems difficult to explain what Song Haiyin did.
At this moment, a grand and ancient will resounded in his mind, with a distant tone, as if flowing from the endless river of time:
Are you questioning my authenticity?
This is a god who can have a conversation!
If He is truly God...
Great Priest Mei was slightly startled, then nodded without hesitation: "After all, I don't know your true ability yet."
[The people that Priest Song saved are not enough to prove it? 】
Song Haiyin looked at Grand Priest Mei nervously, and said in a sincere and urgent tone: "Grand Priest, the abilities I display all come from Mother Earth..."
【That’s not entirely true.】
[You are still you, and you have your abilities. ]
The eyes of the great priest Mei flickered slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "...In terms of the ability to save people, Cao Qian may not be wrong."
"Perhaps - this is just a strange thing that can cover up the traces of strangeness. Therefore, those who have already been strangely transformed can look no different from ordinary people."
Song Haiyin bit her lower lip and shook her head slowly.
However, the tentacle hanging high in the sky squirmed slightly, still as calm as before, as if it was not shaken by the doubts of the great priest Mei.
[It's okay, you will know. ]
【This is just a preliminary meeting, we will see each other again. 】
[You should know the Secret of Releasing the Shackles and Ascending to Immortality.]
【Follow this method and practice in reality, and you will find the answer. 】
The pupils of the great priest Mei shrank slightly, and a storm surged in his heart.
However, before he could think deeply, the voice of the sky sounded again:
【also……】
[I have a meeting gift for you. 】
[Open the door and you will see it. ]
Push open the door?
Great Priest Mei was slightly startled, and before he could react, a vast repulsive force swept in from all directions, like an invisible giant hand, pushing him and Song Haiyin out of this space.
The light in the sky suddenly dimmed, and Great Priest Mei suddenly opened his eyes.
He found himself sitting beside the creek where he had fished yesterday. The gurgling stream reflected the clouds in the sky. Everything seemed normal.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the fish swimming in the stream. He felt itchy in his heart and his hands holding the fishing rod also felt itchy.
Eventually, the desire for knowledge overwhelmed the desire to fish.
He withdrew from [Qixuan Mountain].
The light faded and he returned to reality. The first scene that came into view was Song Haiyin's slightly anxious expression.
"High Priest, I can swear that I am not lying!"
Great Priest Mei narrowed his eyes, examined it for a moment, and then slowly said:
"Let's go, have a meal first and rest early. We still need to prepare the God's Blessing Ceremony tomorrow."
Song Haiyin understood that Great Priest Mei did not believe it.
Although she felt anxious, her ability was limited and she could not force the high priest to believe it.
She could only bow her head and reply: "...Yes."
However, just as the great priest Mei walked towards the door of the warehouse, touched the wooden door with his fingertips and gently pushed the door open.
"……Um?"
His eyes fell on the door, his brows slightly frowned, and his steps paused.
I saw a huge, simple food box quietly placed on the white snow.
"This is..." Great Priest Mei slowly leaned over and picked it up. His wrist was slightly heavy, and it actually felt quite heavy.
He frowned and looked around.
Seeing this, Song Haiyin also leaned forward slightly and her eyes fell on the food box.
Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something and her eyes widened suddenly.
"Open the door and you'll see!"
Great Priest Mei raised his snow-white eyebrows high.
This is what the "Mother Earth" said just now.
Is it...
He slowly opened the lunch box.
I saw layer after layer of crystal clear fish sashimi cut as thin as a cicada's wing lying quietly in it, spread on the ice base, just like the thin ice on the lake, clear and translucent.
Judging from the whole fish head placed on one side of the food box, it is the delicacy only available in the snow mountains - white fish!
Soy sauce, mustard and various condiments are thoughtfully prepared on the side, which is exquisite and appropriate.
For a moment, Great Priest Mei's eyes widened slightly, his throat rolled slightly, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"What is this?" Song Haiyin blinked, "Isn't this... raw fish fillet?"
"Exactly."
There was a certain satisfaction and joy in the eyes of Great Priest Mei.
"'Drinking with friends, stewing turtle and slicing carp', this is exactly the 'slicing', a way of cooking."
Song Haiyin was puzzled. She had never tasted such a novel and exquisite way of eating.
"Is this going to be eaten boiled?"
"No, no, no, this would be a waste!"
Great Priest Mei shook his head, his expression more serious than ever before.
"It has to be eaten raw like this."
Song Haiyin hesitated: "Is it delicious like this..."
"You'll know after you try it."
Great Priest Mei said with a smile, raised his head and looked towards the courtyard, his eyes slightly gloomy——
There was no sign of anyone else.
And no one else should know they are here.
What's more, white fish cannot be transported here from the snow-capped mountains.
This fish, which lives in extremely cold places, will lose its snow-white luster and become as black as ink if it is out of water for a short while. Its meat will become as stiff as wax and difficult to swallow.
But the box of snow-white and crystal-clear fish sashimi in front of him was clearly just taken out of the water and immediately processed and sent to him, which is why it can maintain such a fresh and delicious state.
If it is breeding, it is even more nonsense.
Whitefish prefer natural environments, unless someone is willing to spend a lot of money to transform a secluded pool in the mountains into a cold pool in the snow-capped mountains and keep it there with careful care.
But if there really was such a precious thing, why would they be so generous as to kill more than ten of them and present them just for them?
Moreover, this gift was just what he wanted.
In this way...
It can only be a miracle.
Great Priest Mei pondered for a moment, then turned back to Song Haiyin and said, "It seems that your Earth Mother is taking very good care of you."
Song Haiyin looked doubtful.
Great Priest Mei slowly closed the food box, looked up at her, and said calmly:
"He knows that you need my help."
Song Haiyin's face suddenly turned red, but then he said seriously:
"Yes...or rather, everyone needs your help."
"With your cooperation, many problems may be solved... In this way, our Divine Blessing Pilgrimage will not only be a formality, but will also have real meaning."
Her voice was gentle, but there was a firm light in her eyes.
Great Priest Mei looked at her deeply and finally nodded.
"That being said, I still need to verify it myself." He changed the subject and thought, "However, the 'Mother Earth' just now also pointed out a direction... Perhaps, I can give it a try."
There was a glimmer of joy in Song Haiyin's eyes. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the corners of her mouth still slightly raised.
Great Priest Mei finally agreed.
"All right." Great Priest Mei looked at the food box in his hand, a little impatient, "Take this box of sashimi first and share it with everyone."
Great Priest Mei was slightly startled and looked up.
Above the sky, the glow of the sky was rolling, and the outline of a huge monster slowly emerged.
It hangs high in the sea of clouds, so huge that it seems as if countless tentacles are extending from the golden light, entwining between the peaks and floating islands, and seem to be slowly wriggling.
