Eight hundred and tenth chapter hometown book
In most and most parts of the classical era, people were reluctant to offer sacrifices to Hades.
This is not very consistent with the identity and status of Pluto, but the belief in the classical era is very simple, so sacrificing gods is naturally something that requires the gods.
Sacrifice to the god of agriculture, pray for a good harvest, sacrifice to the god of war, pray for victory, sacrifice to the god of beauty, pray for love, what is the purpose of worshiping the king of the Hades?
No one thinks he is long-lasting, let alone a sacrifice, no one is even willing to mention Hades' name.
Because there are too few beliefs on earth, and Hades does not live on Mount Olympia, Hades is not among the twelve main gods.
Zeus fell asleep, Ares fell, Poseidon disappeared, three seats were empty from the main god, Hermes took out one of them and gave them to Hades.
December is approaching, how should Manda use to send sacrifices to Hades?
Hades was looking forward to it, Manda was in a dilemma, Hermes was curious, He opened his horizons to the mortal world and looked at the capital.
Manda is conducting sacrifices, and the purpose of sacrifices is to pray for happiness to the deceased relatives.
This is the only suitable reason Manda can come up with, but even though this reason is convincing, it fails to get a very good response.
People are unwilling to go to Hades' temple, and there are not many Hades' temples in the kingdom, and people are unwilling to offer sacrifices to Hades. Even if they miss their deceased relatives very much, they are unwilling to make any prayers to Hades.
What if Pluto was moved by their sincerity and took them to the underworld to take a look?
With few responders, Manda initiated a mandatory order, and all nobles must sacrifice to Pluto, and civilians can voluntarily participate. The full power of the sacrificial capital was handed over to Stanley, while Manda traveled through various towns to check the status of the sacrificial status.
Although Manda tried his best, the sacrificial gains were far inferior to those of the Goddess of the Governor and the Goddess of the Fire of the Stove.
In Manda's opinion, the results were not very good, but Pluto was moved. Over the years, all the faith gained by Pluto came from ghosts in the underworld. The beliefs of ghosts will not turn into pearls, and Hades's spring of faith is almost exhausted.
Now that he saw the pearls rolling in the spring, Hades decided to give the world a gift immediately.
Manda was afraid of this, but fortunately Pluto was still rational and did not send mortals to the road directly, but brought their relatives to the front of him.
Bringing the deceased directly to the relatives will have catastrophic consequences. Pluto ordered his three thousand dream gods to bring the deceased's soul into the dreams of his relatives.
This action has been very resonant. Most people expressed deep gratitude to Pluto when they were able to reunite with their relatives in their dreams, but some people repaid their deep hatred and resentment. Manda was one of them. He thought that the God of Dreams would send Encia, but in the end he sent his biological brother and sister.
His elder brother Fox turned into a pig, and his elder sister Shadina turned into a sow.
They knelt on the ground and begged Manda for forgiveness. Manda beat them up and kicked them back to hell and continued to suffer.
Hermes closed his vision in the mortal world and sighed with a smile: "You can handle such a tricky thing well. Just be half as smart as you."
He quietly walked out of the temple and came to the bank of the Tianhe River in the night. He waved his hand to the flowing river water, and the scepter of thunder emerged from the river.
"This thing is really tough," Hermes smacked his lips. "Even the water of the river cannot destroy you, what better way do I have?"
...
At dawn, Manda had just woken up and a prayer came from her ears.
"The great Hermes, the asylum of the merchants, please look here."
"I am about to buy a precious book. Please identify the authenticity for me."
Transaction appraiser, one of Hermes' main businesses.
Manda sat beside the bed and yawned. Should this be taken care of?
Let’s take a look at what book it is.
Manda focused his mind and sneaked into the prayer's mind. The prayer was a businessman in his thirties. He was very pious and focused, and only the book looked like in his mind.
When I saw the book, Manda came to my spirit. The material of the book was a bit special, not made of parchment paper, but made of wood.
This is a bamboo slip. In the past and previous lives, this is the history of the hometown, and in this life, this is the product of the Qinges people.
Manda responded to the merchant: "Buy the book, it's the real thing, you've made a lot of money."
In the middle room of the Blue Bay, in the tavern, the merchant was so scared that he shivered when he heard the oracle. Then he thought about it, and was a little excited. He prayed devoutly and offered a can of wine as a sacrifice. Isn’t it just to get the instructions of the gods?
He took out his purse and poured out four gold coins, six silver coins and more than twenty copper coins.
The merchant wanted five gold coins, but he didn't know if he was willing to sell four gold coins.
If you refuse to sell, add two more silver coins.
If you still refuse to sell, you will have no choice. You have to leave yourself some travel expenses.
After walking out of the guest room and arrived at the upper floor, there was a spacious and high-quality room here, which required three silver coins a night. All the people who lived here had status. In addition, they received instructions from God, and the merchant believed that they would not be deceived.
Pushing the door and entering the room, a middle-aged man with golden hair and beard smiled at him and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it!" The merchant sat opposite the old man, "You said this thing is a book. Although I can't see any book, I think it should be a valuable thing. I am willing to give out two gold coins."
The middle-aged man smiled: "If you are sleepy, find a place to sleep, don't come to me to talk to you."
"Three gold coins, no more."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Go somewhere else and buy something you want to buy."
"I really want to buy it! But the price you offer is too high! I bought a book with five gold coins, and others will say I am a fool!"
"Those who treat you as a fool will never make a lot of money. The Minister of State in the capital paid a lot of money to buy books from Qinges. Guess how much would he bid? Ten gold coins? Twenty gold coins? To him, this amount of money is not worth mentioning! If it weren't for my age and I didn't want to go so far, I would never have given you this business."
The businessman lowered his head and said, "But I really don't have that much money..."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and sighed, "There can't be less than four and a half gold coins."
The businessman gritted his teeth and emptied his wallet: "I only have so many."
The middle-aged man counted and couldn't help laughing: "Take the bronze, and the rest belong to me. This place is still far from the capital of the king. You may have to suffer a little along the way."
The businessman took away the bamboo slips and felt mixed feelings.
A little excited, he firmly believed that this thing would make him a big profit.
I feel a little distressed. Four gold coins and six silver coins are not a small number, and the middle-aged man is right. It will take at least ten days to get to the capital. How can I pass by those copper coins?
I will first return the guest room in the tavern and I will not be able to afford to stay for one more day.
Then I went to the farmer's house to buy a few black bread, twenty copper coins should be enough to eat in the capital.
I can't afford to sit in a carriage, so I can only sleep in the open...
When they arrived at the entrance of the tavern, the merchant shivered. It was too cold.
After trembling, I just took two steps when I suddenly saw a young man following me.
"It's so cold, don't you want to go in and have a drink?" Manda pointed to the tavern.
The businessman was shocked, what does this person mean?
I have never met each other, why did I suddenly come over and talk to you?
Manda didn't want to beat around the bush: "I came here to buy a good thing, a book, a book made of wood."
The businessman was shocked. He just bought the things. Where did he hear about them?
After explaining, I don’t know how much time it will be wasted, so Manda took out her wallet: “Please give me a price, how much do you want?”
"I don't know you!" The businessman raised his tone. There were many people on the street. The boy looked quite thin. He definitely didn't dare to rob him openly. Even if he had a helper, he would be in broad daylight...
Manda took out thirty gold coins: "Is it enough?"
"You, are you, really, really?" The businessman couldn't believe his eyes.
Manda took out ten more gold coins: "Is it enough?"
"Your gold coins, fake..."
"I can't even tell the true or false gold coins. How do you do business!" Manda threw a gold coins to him, "Try it carefully, is it true!"
The merchant checked every gold coin, and forty gold coins were all true.
The gods really don’t lie. This business is really profitable, and they make ten times as soon as they change hands.
It is not safe to put so much money on it, so I have to take it home quickly.
The merchant packed his wallet and trotted away in the morning mist. Manda took the bamboo slips and drove a room in the tavern.
The tavern is a place that makes people miss.
When he arrived in the room, Manda opened the bamboo slips. Since he came to this world, except for the simplified Chinese characters he wrote, this was the first time he saw words without letters.
Neat and beautiful, square pictures are the writing art that belongs to the hometown.
After reading two lines, Manda fell into deep thought.
He doesn't recognize this word.
It should be the mother tongue of his previous life, but this ancient way of writing made him too unfamiliar.
Take it back and study it word by word, you should be able to guess a summary, it seems to be the word "天"...
Manda spread the bamboo slips to the end, and suddenly a ball of flame emerged.
Not good, there is a fraud!
Manda jumped up, the flames followed, and a voice appeared in the flames: "Claudesey, we're meeting again."
Chapter completed!
