The temple was completed, and the young people who participated in the construction of the temple were also highly appreciated by the deputy priest. In addition to distributing twelve coppers to each person, they also enjoyed a quite sumptuous dinner, from sizzling pork to juicy grapes. Those who came from well-off families and had no shortage of food could not help but feel full and satisfied.
Xie Xu tasted some grapes that were as sweet as honey, but didn't touch the rest much. Instead, he divided out the roasted meat which was half a finger thicker than others, making his colleagues look surprised and embarrassed. look.
The night is falling.
The palace was filled with the rich smell of grease and a little bit of soy sauce. Xie Xu's sense of smell was much sharper than that of ordinary people. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he left the palace to take a breath.
There are few stars in the moon tonight.
The aroma of food wafted out just in time. Xie Xu stood beside half of the beautifully carved wall and stretched out his hand as if to pinch something in the air.
It happened that someone drank too much and came out to urinate. When he saw Xie Xu standing by the stone wall, his plain white divine robe was slightly blown by the wind, revealing his straight and white legs, his heart suddenly moved slightly.
But if you take a closer look, Xie Xu has just an ordinary appearance, and there is no such thing as such a heart-stopping elegance.
After regaining his composure, the man hummed a tune to put out the water. He glanced at the starry sky before entering the inner hall and felt that the night was so beautiful tonight.
"The weather will be good tomorrow."
He murmured to himself.
Xie Xu glanced at him from a distance, Crow Wing's eyelashes slightly lowered.
There will be no good weather.

The day of sacrifice to the gods is approaching, the sacrifices are ready, and the temple is beautifully built. But just at this moment, a roof-covering disaster quietly came.
Drought, insect plagues, and plagues simultaneously visited this unfortunate city. The wheat seedlings that relied on it dried up and died overnight, as if they were cursed. The farmers who took care of the wheat were also infected with the plague and became seriously ill in bed. . The grain official responsible for the autumn rice harvest had already committed suicide with dozens of members of his family by drinking poison because he was afraid of being held accountable.
But the impact goes far beyond that.
There is no grain harvest this season, and the poor people have no spare capacity to collect grain. They are afraid that tens of thousands of people will starve to death.
Coupled with the plague caused by improper disposal of corpses, I am afraid that within a few months, this border country will become a dead city.
The people have endured the disaster of famine many times, but what really makes them despair is this time.
It¡¯s the God¡¯s Festival soon.
"Didn't the goddess of the autumn harvest show her miracles?" the farmer's daughter cried, her tears falling on the diseased and withered rice. "Why did you take away our food?"
Grain harvest happens to be one of the most important duties of the Autumn Harvest Goddess, but instead of getting a bumper harvest, humans were also deprived of the food rations that were about to be harvested. The extremely luxurious temple built seemed so ironic, even the fresh tributes , all like black humor.
Some angry people even picked up stones and threw them at the guards guarding the temple.
"You are a bunch of jackals that rip off people's bones! Liars!"
The curses reached the ears of the distinguished priest.
The already quite old priest seemed to have collapsed overnight, and his hair and beard were all white.
Is it because his faith is not pious enough? Why are you punished by gods?
Having been touched countless times, half of the gemstones of the divine staff were pried off, and the angry old priest knocked him on his knees. After several hits, the divine robe was covered with blood. He gasped for air and cursed as if he couldn't breathe: "Go and check! There must be someone who is disloyal to the goddess among the sacrifices, so the autumn harvest goddess will be angry!"
The deputy priests, priests, even the guards guarding the temple, and the craftsmen who built the temple were all trembling with fear.
They were vaguely aware that there was a great reckoning that was coming, and someone had to bear the wrath of the goddess.
Some of them, such as the young man who sings hymns every day to pray for God to descend, are very guilty and afraid of being discovered. They come to the temple to work with the idea of ????"eating and drinking together" and have no respect for the goddess at all.
Because he was too frightened, he suddenly remembered the little robber who came to the temple to steal the sacrifices a few days ago - although that incident has passed, in terms of faults, this hateful robber was more disrespectful to the goddess than himself!
The young man quietly told the priest who came to the temple to investigate.
The cleric also quickly reported the matter as if grasping the last straw.
So, the blasphemer and the source of disastersp; Not in illusory dreams, not through messages from human messengers, no one would doubt that this is a genuine and extremely noble god!
However, this god just looked at everyone with indifferent eyes and said extremely calmly.
"There has never been a harvest goddess."
"The Western Kingdom is known as the land abandoned by the gods. No god will come to visit it."
These two sentences almost knocked them into the abyss.
However, some people still mustered up the courage to talk to the gods.
"Then you - then why are you here -"
"I'm not a god." Xie Xu replied calmly.
But no one believed this.
The old priest even fearfully believed that it was the wrong object of sacrifice that made this noble god angry.
"Please tell me your name," he prayed humbly, "I will build you the largest temple in the entire Western Kingdom. All of us will believe in you wholeheartedly and become your most sincere believers. Please forgive me. Stupid mistake!"
As long as this god can be kept.
The only god willing to visit the Western Kingdom and come here.
¡ª¡ªThe old priest felt that he could pay any price.
