Shenmu City is built in the woods, all the houses are made of wood and leaves, they are located on the branches, each tree is built with vines to form a bridge, forming a "sky city".
The creek flows under the trees, and some small animals run past from time to time, and the crisp chirping of birds echoes in the forest.
Looking around, it is like being in a fairy tale, beautiful and dreamy.
Xue Hui said while walking: "We will go to the temple to meet the high priest first, and then we will take you to rest."
The location of the Shenmu Temple is quite special, it is built in the largest tree in the city.
The tree is so huge that it would take more than two dozen adults to hold its trunk by visual inspection.
Agui said: "Just go in by yourself, I won't go in."
Xue Hui glanced at him: "Are you afraid that the high priest will scold you again?"
When Agui was punctured, he immediately became angry from embarrassment, and retorted angrily: "He is very good to every orc, but he is very strict to me. I don't like staying with him!"
After speaking, he ran away without looking back.
Xue Hui slowly showed a helpless smile: "Agui is the child of the high priest, and the high priest has given him great hopes, sometimes it is inevitable that he is too strict, which makes Agui's character a bit awkward. When you see the high priest later, if he asks about Agui, you just say that he left beforehand, and don't tell him what Agui just said."
Slowly nodded in response: "I see."
"Let's go in."
They went up the stairs and into the temple.
The inside of the tree trunk is completely hollow, and the first floor is very empty, with only a few gods cleaning it.
Xuehui led slowly and others up the spiral staircase, and the wooden stairs creaked when stepped on.
When they reached the second floor, they finally met Bi Huan, the high priest of Shenmu Temple.
As the name suggests, Bi Huanren has a pair of green eyes, long snow-white hair, and many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but he still looks in good spirits.
He was sitting on the old wicker chair, and on the wall behind him, he had climbed all kinds of vines, many of which had bloomed small flowers, which were very beautiful.
He held a long crutch in his hand. The crutch was made of several dry vines intertwined. If you look closely, you will find many fine patterns on the vines.
Xuehui bowed to him and saluted: "Lord Bisi, I'm back."
Bi Huan nodded slightly: "I heard from the plants in the forest that you brought four guests, so let Agui pick you up. You should have seen him, right?"
Xuehui nodded: "He brought us here."
"Then why didn't I see his people? Where did he go to play again?"
Xuehui said: "He said he has some things to do, so let's go first."
Bi Huan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer, "What serious business can he have, other than go hunting for bird eggs with his friends."
Seeing that he was showing signs of getting angry, Xuehui quickly changed the subject: "I brought you slowly, she is the child of the same clan that I told you before, who was left outside."
The arrival of the same clan made Bi Huan temporarily put aside his son's affairs, he followed Xuehui's line of sight, saw Lin Huanxuan, and asked with a smile: "Are you Lin Huanxuan?"
Slowly nodded: "High Priest, hello."
Bi Huan waved to her: "Come here, let me take a closer look."
He hesitated for a moment before walking over.
After approaching, Bi Huan immediately smelled the breath of Shenmu on her body, and confirmed that she was indeed a descendant of the Shenmu clan, so he couldn't help but smile.
He raised his hand and touched her head: "My good boy, I know you were wronged in the Temple of Beasts, and you don't have to worry about it when you get here."
Nodding slowly: "Thank you."
"You are my family, which means you are a family. You don't need to be so cautious."
Slowly replied: "Yes."
Looking at her nervous appearance, Bi Huan knew that she would not be able to get used to it for a while when she just arrived here, so she said a few words of comfort: "No matter what you have experienced before, now that you are back in Shenmu City, here is Your home, no matter what happens in the future, Shenmu City will be your most solid backing."
The meaning of this promise is very heavy, and I was a little flattered slowly, and at the same time moved, I became more and more nervous.
If Bi Huan knew the truth that she was not from the Shenmu clan, he would definitely be very angry and disappointed, right
Bi Huan noticed the little white flower pinned to the collar of her dress, and paused slightly: "Is this the flower on the sacred tree?"
Nodding slowly: "It was given to me by the sacred tree."
"It seems that Shenshu likes you very much," Bi Huan said with relief, "As long as you wear this flower, you can go in and out of any place in Shenmu City at will."
Huan Huan didn't expect that it was just a small white flower, but it had such a meaning, and her favor for the sacred tree rose a lot again.
Bi Huan took another look at Baidi Xueling and Xuanwei.
Compared with being warm and kind to Huan Ran, his attitude towards Baidi and the other three is much more polite: "It must have been hard work for you three to come from afar for guests, so go and rest for one night first, and I will hold a welcome banquet for you tomorrow. When the time comes, please show your face.”
Baidi Xueling Xuanwei each said "You are too polite".
…
After walking out of the temple, Xuehui brought Xuanxuan and Baidi to a big tree, and they climbed up the stairs built by vines.
There is a two-story tree house on the tree, which is quite delicately built.
Xue Hui said: "This house is where a partner of mine used to live, and now he moved in to live with me. This house has been unoccupied until now, and no one has lived in it. Let me clean it up for you. You can make do with it here tonight. Stay for one night, and tomorrow I will find you some more spacious rooms."
Slowly said: "Don't bother, I think this place is pretty good."
Anyway, they are only staying here for a while, and they will leave after avoiding the limelight, so there is no need to pay too much attention.
Xue Hui said to clean it, but Huan Huan couldn't really let her do it, in the end, Huan Huan and Baidi Xueling Xuanwei cleaned the house together.
Xuehui sent them a lot of fruits and vegetables.
"The orcs living in Shenmu City are basically vegetarians. In principle, eating meat is not allowed in Shenmu City, but if you eat meat without being seen, it doesn't matter too much."
Xuehui paused at this point, and then warned: "The animals in the forest must not be hunted, otherwise the sacred tree will be angry."
Baidi and Xuanwei can only agree.
Xu Xueyu is omnivorous and can eat anything, even vegetarians are okay, but Baidi and Xuanwei are not, they have to rely on meat to maintain the energy needed by their bodies.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of meat stored in the space, enough for them to eat for a while.
Even if the meat in the space is gone, they can still use the space to send a message to Shuangyun and Sang Ye, asking them to help hunt some prey into the space.
