Chapter 4770

Everyone was nervous and stared at Gong Jinghuan.

The so-called mountain protection messenger is to escort the sacrifices needed for the mountain sacrifice ceremony to the holy mountain.

The sacred mountain is full of crises. The envoys who choose to protect the mountain every year must be strong enough. Otherwise, it is easy that the sacrifices are not sent to the sacred mountain and may be destroyed by strange animals on the way.

But this also means that the danger of mountain guards is great. If they are careless, they can easily die on the way to the holy mountain.

Therefore, there are few strong people who take the initiative to become mountain guards at every mountain sacrifice ceremony, which are actively distributed by the city Lord's house.

Gongjinghuan was in a good mood. This time, he not only got the divine pill given to him by Zhuo Wen, but also Zhuo Wen volunteered to become a mountain guard.

He knew very well that with a strong man like Zhuo Wen sitting in the town, there should be no big problem with the escort. He should be able to send the sacrifice into the holy mountain smoothly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time a strong man took the initiative to become a mountain Guardian!" Gong Jinghuan smiled.

In the main hall, everyone blinked and looked surprised.

They didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to become a mountain guard. It's a thankless job.

"The strong man who volunteered is the son of Zhuo Wenzhuo around me!" Gong Jinghuan pointed to Zhuo Wen around him and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect it was Lord Zhuo! It should be more smooth if Lord Zhuo came out to protect the mountain this time!"

"Lord Zhuo is much stronger than all of us. There should be no difference this time! Even if I am selected, I am willing to go!"

“……”

In the banquet hall, the crowd talked and talked, and their eyes were excited.

For most people, the mountain sacrifice ceremony is a very important event. If there is a strong leader, it will be a great pleasure.

Gong Jinghuan looked around and found that everyone's emotions had been mobilized. He couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth.

"Next, I will begin to announce the list of other mountain guards! This mountain sacrifice ceremony is very important to us. I hope you can work together and don't slack off!"

Gong Jinghuan opened his mouth again, took out a jade slip, put his mind into the jade slip, and began to read the list of mountain guards in turn:

"Zhou Yan, Chen Yanqi, Wang Chenlong..."

All the monks whose names were reported were basically excited, and there was no conflict at all.

They all know that with a great master like Zhuo Wen, the basic team should be foolproof, so they don't want to push and drag like before.

After reading the list, Gong Jinghuan smiled and said, "please list the Taoist friends you read!"

WOW!

As soon as he said this, a group of people came out of the crowd and stopped not far from Zhuo Wen and Gong Jinghuan.

Zhuo Wen looked up and found that there were more than ten mountain protection envoys this time. All of them were not simple. They were basically cultivation accomplishments at the level of heaven Dharma and Taoism.

"Brother Zhuo! Please follow me!"

Gong Jinghuan looked at Zhuo Wen and politely made a gesture of invitation.

Zhuo Wen nodded and followed Gong Jinghuan, followed by more than a dozen selected monks.

After Gong Jinghuan and Zhuo Wen left, the people in the banquet hall also followed in succession.

Xihan takes Xiqiang, yangzuo and Yuhong to the front. They are still a little worried about Zhuo Wen. Although Zhuo Wen is indeed powerful, Shenshan is more dangerous.

In the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the mountain in the past dynasties, there have also been cases of the death of the strong without beginning of the Taoist method on the sacred mountain, but such cases are rare.

In the center of the city Lord's residence, there is a courtyard covering a large area.

At this moment, in the courtyard, there are two rows of boys and girls.

These boys and girls wore the same white brocade clothes and high white crowns. All of them hung their heads and were silent.

On both sides of the boys and girls, there are all kinds of objects, including divine soldiers, divine medicines, delicacies, royal jelly and so on.

These offerings were put on red boxes and chariots, which should be ready to be transported to the holy mountain.

When Zhuo Wen was brought into the courtyard by Gong Jinghuan, he frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.

There are more than 100 boys and girls standing in the courtyard, all with their heads down and sad eyes, and some girls have tears on their cheeks.

Zhuo Wen doesn't have to think about it. These boys and girls can't be willing to become living sacrifices, but they can't live by themselves and can only be at the mercy of others.

Around the boys and girls, there were nearly 100 soldiers in armor. They were the guards who went to the holy mountain to help protect the boys and girls and carry sacrifices.

These soldiers are carefully selected by the city master's residence. Therefore, they are all of high quality and strength.

"Brother Zhuo! You can take this team to Shenshan this time! I hope you can return safely this time!" Gong Jinghuan arched his hand to Zhuo Wen.

Zhuo Wen nodded and said, "don't worry, city Lord! Zhuo must do his best to escort the team to the holy mountain!"

Gong Jinghuan nodded, took out a jade slip, handed it to Zhuo Wen and said, "brother Zhuo, what is recorded in the jade slip is the correct route to the holy mountain! And how to place the sacrifice and where to put it. What is clearly recorded in it!"

Zhuo Wen took over the jade slips. Although his face was silent, his heart was full of excitement.

He once tried to enter the holy mountain, but he didn't have the right route at all and didn't dare to go too deep.

Now, with this jade slip, when he enters the beast forest again, he should be able to avoid those dangerous places in advance and reach the holy mountain smoothly.

"In an hour! Let's go to the holy mountain! Then I'll see you off in person! Before that, please get familiar with each other. After all, the holy mountain trip is bad and good. You need to run in a lot. Then you can tide over the difficulties together!"

Gong Jinghuan arched his hands to the courtyard.

Hearing the speech, the dozen mountain guards nodded and began to communicate. Of course, they were all trying to get close to Zhuo Wen.

Zhuo Wen didn't refuse anyone. He talked and laughed with other mountain guards. After a while, he became familiar with them.

"Zhuo Xiaoyou! This trip is hard and difficult. You must be careful! If you really encounter a crisis, everything depends on your own safety!"

Xi Han came forward with worried eyes.

Xiqiang, yangzuo and Yuhong also came forward one after another and said goodbye to Zhuo Wen.

They know very well that Zhuo Wen may never come back. They have heard about the purpose of Zhuo Wen's going to Shenshan for a long time.

"You don't have to worry! I won't have anything. It's you. If I'm gone, you'd better practice well. I'll teach you the method of the earth's spirit, but you should also practice well!"

Zhuo Wen looked at Xiqiang and comforted them with a smile.

During this time, in order to repay Xihan's help, Zhuo Wen taught them some basic soul methods, so that their souls have the opportunity to grow and can make simple attacks.

As for the spirit sword idea, it is Zhuo Wen's secret. Naturally, it is impossible to teach them easily.

But even so, the method of the spirit also made Xihan and Xiqiang benefit them infinitely.
