Chapter 572 The Drowned
A true God who possesses many sacred objects.
These include artifacts, holy objects, holy places, the Son (the elect), and multiple denominations of the same church.
For example, Lathander once descended to earth to fight a lich. The place where the saint descended was the Holy Land. Even now, believers from the Church of the Dawn still go there to worship every day.
He once shed a drop of divine blood during this battle. A worshiping priest of Lathander discovered it and sealed it in a piece of amber and brought it back to the church.
This is the sacred object.
In addition, God also has many requirements for believers. Some of the requirements were not put forward by God but by believers. God thought they were good, and so they continued.
For example, the time, method, posture, position of prayer, etc., the construction requirements of the temple, the requirements and procedures of sacrifices, and setting up a few holy days to create some hymns, just like the so-called Christmas, let’s have fun together Skin.
Although most of these requirements are useless, what is needed is this sense of ritual.
The more established the deity is, the more settings it has in this regard, or it can be said that it has a profound foundation.
Let's take Lathander as an example. Their holy day is the Spring Equinox, which is called the Day of Dawn, symbolizing the beginning of the year. On this day, priests will sing songs of dawn to praise the arrival of the new year.
The temple is required to face the east, and priests must pray when the sun rises every day. During formal ceremonies, priests must wear corresponding clothes, and Lathander will also grant some miracles upon seeing this.
But the interesting thing is that gods who are too ancient are not very particular about this aspect.
For example, Pharazma, the Mother of Souls, does not require believers to wear uniforms, nor does she have any prayer requirements. At most, she requires that the temple be built next to the cemetery and that priests guard the dead. Other than that, there is nothing else.
This is because it is such an ancient god that most of its rules have been forgotten by mortals, especially those with a small number of followers like Pharasma, so they appear not to be particular about it.
But no matter what, compared to them, Li Chengqi's background is obviously too weak. The only artifact he has is the Demon King's Ring, a holy object...
I don’t know if the instant noodles he gave to believers before count.
The Holy Land is even more out of the question. Even if the territory of Leon is set as a Holy Land based on the condition of being the first to appear when the Demon King returns, there are no obvious landmarks. Believers used to worship without knowing what they were praying for. .
In short, this matter cannot be solved in a day or two. Li Chengqi thinks that Viola can study it later. Although we are newcomers among the gods, we still have to have what we should have.
——I just don’t know if Viola will be able to free her hands recently.

Dayongli
1155, May 13th.
While the three people from Aldai had already set up camp and were studying how to go next, the three people from Yang Yiyi's side had also boarded the passenger ship.
The three of them arrived in the town yesterday. After asking around in the morning, they finally found out that someone had seen a group of hurried Jianghu people passing by, and they clearly told Yang Yiyi that the group of Jianghu people was heading to the southwest.
It's good news to have a clear direction, but damn, it's a blessing and a curse, so there's also bad news.
The bad news is that those Jianghu people have been gone for almost seven or eight days...
Yang Yiyi and the others gave chase. Not only did they not shorten the distance, but they actually lengthened it.
There was nothing we could do about it, mainly because we were wasted in the Lost Forest for too long, which meant we didn't do anything for three days. It would be nice to get the direction.
And there is good news. According to the information obtained, this group of Jianghu people left along the river on foot, so the three of them briefly discussed and decided to chase them by boat.
This is much faster than relying on two legs, and it can shorten the distance no matter what.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting lower and the sun was setting towards the west.
Yang Yiyi put away the fishing rod at the stern of the boat. Being bored on the boat, Yang Yiyi relied on fishing to pass the time. Today's harvest was not very good. There were only two silver carps, one big and one small. I wonder if the kitchen can cook them.
Just as he was about to go to the galley on the ship to ask, a burst of noise broke into his ears. "Dead people were fished out."
"Huh? Dead person? Is there someone fighting nearby?"
"Hey, I'm probably a Jianghu person again. Let's go and watch the fun."
Listening to the whispers of the passengers, Yang Yiyi suddenly felt a little bad.
Damn it, it couldn’t be Ning Xianer or the others, right?
When she thought of this, Yang Yiyi quickly picked up the bamboo basket, carried the fish tank and ran towards the place where people gathered.
It is not unusual for dead people to be fished out of the river. It is often said that fishermen can catch anything except fish. Although this is a joke, there are many corpses fished by fishermen.
It could be that he accidentally fell into the water, or he could be injured and thrown into the water. There are many causes of death. What exactly happened is a problem for the government.
However, the merger does not prevent ordinary people from coming over to watch the fun.
One side of the deck was already surrounded by courageous people. Yang Yiyi was not very tall, so she couldn't see clearly what was going on when she looked inside.
Just at this time, Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan, who heard the noise, also came out of the cabin. Yang Yiyi quickly told them her worries.
"It's easy to handle, it's up to me."
After saying that, Qin Yan swooped into the crowd like a loach and quickly disappeared without a trace.
"It's all gone! What's so good about a dead person! When we get into the harbor, we'll hand it over to the government."
The boatman dispersed the crowd watching the excitement, and Qin Yan also slipped back.
But his face didn't look very good.
"The deceased's clothes look like they belong to the Canglang sect, but I'm not sure about the cause of his death."
The Canglang Sect is somewhat famous, not a big sect, but they are not unknown either.
The most important thing is that Qin Yan remembers that among the martial arts comrades who were chasing clues about the people in southern Xinjiang, there were people from the Canglang sect.
"Do you know him?"
"The deceased had been soaked in water for several days. He was completely soaked and could not be distinguished."
Hearing what Qin Yan said, Yang Yiyi suddenly felt a little lucky that she hadn't squeezed over to take a look just now.
Wu Shaoyi thought: "If I remember correctly, the Canglang Sect is a sect in the northern part of the Central Plains, and its disciples died here..."
"Sister Ning, something happened to them?!"
"Don't panic, Miss Yang. It's too early to say this now. With the cold-faced King of Hell's ability, it's not easy to get her into trouble."
Yang Yiyi is a typical person who is confused when she cares. When she calms down and thinks about it, this is indeed the case.
Li Chengqi had told Yang Yiyi many times that Ning Xianer's attributes were like a Super Saiyan. Unless she was a master of Shen Qingluo's level, it would not be easy to keep Ning Xianer.
"Besides, if there is only one corpse, it means that the losses suffered by the martial arts fellows who pursued him were not serious. Maybe they were just attacked on the road."
Wu Shaoyi looked at Qin Yan, who was thinking about something. He nodded and said: "I don't believe that the heroes of our Sixteenth Village would be ambushed so easily. If there were fewer people, they wouldn't be hurt at all. They don’t know anything about it. Let’s ask after we get off the boat tomorrow. There will definitely be rumors about the large-scale Jianghu fight.”
Although they said this, the three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts. After all, they were still in the Central Plains and had not yet reached Southern Xinjiang.
But the martial arts people who were supposed to be hunters investigating the activities of the southern Xinjiang people are now more like prey and may be attacked at any time.
