Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 169 Excellent Acting Skills

Elder Jiayu's condition was so special that even the guardian Zhuji was helpless. How could Meng Xianyu help?

When it comes to daily life, it is naturally taken care of by Elder Gelu himself.

Besides, from what Wu Na said, they probably won’t leave together.

If we act together, the target will be too big. We will be easily wiped out by the Temple.

She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the temple. She heard that the saint was not easy to mess with. Meng Xianyu couldn't hide any more!

Although Wu Na was also from the Holy Mountain and was even one of the candidates for the Holy Maiden, Meng Xianyu was in charge of Wu Na's affairs.

She is a person who will not change her mind once she has made up her mind. She is a stubborn person. She will not change her mind easily when she has made up her mind about someone.

This also meant that there were some things that she couldn't stay out of.

Today Wu Na started her action early in the morning.

Yixi already knew that Wu Na was leaving, so Wu Na didn't say anything more, but just promised him that she would come back to see him.

Wu Na is not a good sister at all. She can't be a sister, nor a daughter.

She will be leaving in three days, and I don’t know when she will come back next time. I also don’t know whether this trip will go smoothly.

Wu Na just wanted to make good use of these two days to complete some things she wanted to do.

Wu Na went to find the guardian Linlang early in the morning. She asked to go to the place where the high priest was in seclusion to say goodbye to him.

Although Linlang Dharma Protector did not recommend Wu Na to do so, Wu Na still insisted. She even said that she was Monk's only daughter and she just wanted to take a good look at Monk.

Guardian Linlang had no choice but to compromise.

The situation of the high priest is not optimistic. Linlang does not want more people to know about Monk's situation.

Since the high priest went into seclusion, only Zhuji and Linlang could get close to him.

Although he was said to be in seclusion, in fact the high priest was already unconscious.

The guardian Zhuji tried every possible way to wake Monk up but failed.

Fortunately, the high priest was blessed with good fortune, and Monk's condition has stabilized.

At least the wound was no longer getting worse, his heart rate was gradually stabilizing, and his internal injuries were beginning to improve. Although the high priest was still unconscious, his life was at least saved.

These days, Zhuji and Linlang, the two guardians, have been suffering. Their acting skills are truly amazing. They will continue to perform.

High Priest Monk almost lost his life this time, but fortunately he survived.

After that, it was all up to Linlang and Zhuji to stabilize the situation. If they did anything wrong, it would definitely cause panic.

Linlang made many requests, and Wu Na agreed to all of them. Linlang had no choice but to agree.

Dharma Protector Zhuji doesn't care about these things, as long as Dharma Protector Linlang agrees.

Wu Na met the high priest as she wished.

Wu Na wanted to see him and talk to him. Wu Na knew that Monk couldn't hear. It was precisely because he couldn't hear that Wu Na dared to speak.

Wu Na is a person who cannot express her feelings directly and positively. She is too shy to express herself.

Munch was such a person.

But Monk is stronger than Wu Na.

After all, Monk had a childhood sweetheart. People who have experienced love will understand a little bit.

A complete newbie like Wu Na really doesn't know anything.

Guardian Linlang accompanied Wu Na to the place where the high priest was in seclusion.

Wu Na was shocked when she saw the high priest. What she saw was Monk lying in an ice coffin.

Linlang explained that the ice coffin was a healing holy device that could speed up the high priest's recovery and ensure the normal functioning of the high priest's body.

An ordinary person couldn't survive for a few days without food or water. Moreover, Monk was covered in wounds, even to the point of damaging his internal organs.

Some skin injuries, fractures, etc., were already taken care of by the Zhuji Guardian, but that was all he could do.

No one knew whether the high priest could wake up.

Zhuji and Linlang could only try their best to delay time and stabilize the situation for the high priest. But as time went on, they could no longer hide the truth.

If you can't hide it anymore, it will only get worse.

The only thing Linlang could do was to do what she was supposed to do. The only thing Zhuji could do was to pretend to heal the high priest every day.

Now there is Wu Na, which is something neither of them expected.

But Wu Na's identity is there, and perhaps this separation may be for a lifetime.

Who knows whether Wu Na and the others can escape this disaster, and who knows whether the high priest can wake up.

Linlang couldn't refuse Wu Na's request.

Linlang certainly hopes that the high priest is sober and that Wu Na and the others are safe, but this is not up to him to decide.

I hope his decision is correct. If his decision is wrong, he will take responsibility.

Wu Na: "Why is he like this? Didn't you say that he was healing himself? Healing like this? Healing in a coffin?"

Monk looked extremely weak, pale and bloodless, like a cold corpse.

Wu Na's voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing Monk, but Linlang could still hear Wu Na's nervousness.

Not to mention Wu Na, Lin Lang was also frightened at first.

Linlang: "That is the Snow Crystal Ice Coffin for healing. It is a rare treasure in the world. Don't worry, he just needs some time to recover. His life is not in danger now."

Wu Na: "How long will it take? Ten or eight years, or three or five hundred years?"

Linlang: "I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe decades later."

Wu Na: "Decades? Just lie in an ice coffin without food or water for decades? Will anyone still remember him decades later?"

Linlang: "Of course! The host chosen by the altar is the high priest. The altar is still on him, and his position cannot be shaken."

Wu Na: "Who will preside over the next sacrificial ceremony? You?"

It's not that Wu Na doesn't believe in Lin Lang. To be honest, Wu Na is very optimistic about Lin Lang.

Wu Na was just a little worried, worried about Monk and what would happen next.

Wu Na could even foresee that those tribesmen would cause a big commotion.

Linlang didn't have an altar, so he couldn't open it to pray for the tribe. He was not qualified to preside over the sacrifice on behalf of Ma Mengke.

The tribe holds at least two large sacrificial ceremonies every year. If natural or man-made disasters occur, a special sacrificial ceremony will be held separately.

Although Monk does not need to attend every meeting, the tribesmen feel at ease when he is around.

Linlang: "Nothing will go wrong in the short term. I will do my best to keep things stable. Buy more time for the boss. Don't worry!"

Wu Na: "I am very confident in you. I am just worried that you can't handle it."

Linlang: "There won't be any problems in a year or so, and Zhuji will try her best to find a solution. As long as the high priest wakes up, even if he can't practice for the time being, we can stabilize the situation."

Wu Na: "A year or two? That's too short a time."

Linlang: "There is another worst option"

Wu Na: "The worst option?"

Linlang: "Yes, Zhuji knows some disguise skills. We can find someone to pretend to be the high priest."

Wu Na: "It has to be someone you can trust. If it's exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Linlang: "Well, I know that."

Linlang certainly knew that it was very risky to find someone to pretend to be the high priest. Although the pretend high priest could fool those foolish people, he could not fool those who were very familiar with Monk.

If they really want to find someone to impersonate the high priest, then that person must be one of their own.

Once the fake identity is exposed, that person must sacrifice himself to save the overall situation.

Linlang Guardian will pretend to know nothing. No matter whether others believe it or not, they can only sacrifice the fake Monk.

This is the worst-case scenario. So this person must be theirs and be able to sacrifice everything if necessary.

The fake Monk only needs to show up occasionally. He doesn't need to interact with everyone too much, lest he reveal the truth. Especially the Saint, he must be on guard.

Monk was in a very dangerous situation this time, and even Zhuji was helpless. Fortunately, Monk had explained some things clearly before he fell into a coma.

Linlang and Zhuji only need to follow Monk's plan. But they can't keep doing this for long. Sooner or later, they will be exposed. It will be more difficult to deal with it when the time comes.

But there is really no better solution at the moment. I can only take risks!

Although Monk was often injured and it was common for him to retreat to heal his injuries, this time Monk had used up too much spiritual energy. Monk's spiritual energy was almost completely exhausted.

Fortunately, as a high priest, Monk possesses a special energy, which comes from the power of faith of the tribesmen.

It is an ability that only the high priest of the tribe possesses.

The power of faith is sometimes terrifying and difficult to control. Once faith collapses, Monk will lose the qualification to continue to serve as the high priest.

A high priest without the power of faith is like a walking corpse.

This power of faith often comes into play at critical moments.

The reason Monk was able to survive, besides the support of the power of faith, was also due to the protection of the altar and his determination to survive.

The high priest's power is enough to save the entire tribe in a life-or-death moment.

As the high priest, Monk has a secret method that allows him to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth and use it for his own benefit in a short period of time.

However, this ability is short-lived and limited. After all, the human body has its limits. A person's Dantian has a limit. It is impossible to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth infinitely.

If you act recklessly without considering the consequences, you will eventually explode and die.

There are other reasons why Monk is so dangerous this time.

Even Monk didn't know why.

In fact, each of them has experienced something extremely special. Some people remember part of it, while others have lost the relevant memory.

They touched things they shouldn't have touched.

The fate of many people has changed.

As to whether this change is related to Meng Xianyu's arrival, it is unknown.

Even if it was really related to Meng Xianyu's intrusion, Meng Xianyu had no way to solve these problems.
