Jin Ling came to the temple of the mountain ghost clan.

He once promised the temple Aguna. As long as she cooperated with the Northern Jin Dynasty, she would be completely unfair to the temple. In the future, it would be built into the largest temple in the entire barbarian area and would support her to become a new generation of high priests.

After seizing control of the Shangui area, he initially fulfilled his promise, took out a large amount of gold, purchased materials, hired personnel, and began to expand and renovate the temple. Especially for one of the huge statues of the wild gods, he adopted the method of reshaping the golden body, which made Aguna very satisfied.

"Mr. Jin Ling, you are here." Hearing his arrival, Aguna greeted her with a smile on her back. She was in a good mood, especially after the Ghost Witch Sudari, the competitor, died.

Now, no one is qualified to compete with her for the position of the temple high priest.

"Hello, Lord Aguna." Jin Ling's smile was bright, and he looked at the busy temple building scene. "How is it, I fulfilled my promise. These craftsmen are also building the temple according to your requirements. Are you still satisfied?"

"Very good." Aguna said, "But what I care more about is your promise to the barbarians. You really didn't kill people randomly, and, moreover, you really made the barbarians feel that life has a future and that as long as you work, you can get paid."

"I can't tell that Lord Huang Wu is still very concerned about the sufferings of the people." Jin Ling followed her and walked in the temple, suddenly asked, "Does Lord Huang Wu still remember the high priest who died in the war initiated by the Northern Jin Dynasty last time?"

Aguna was stunned: "Of course I remember. Why did you mention him?"

"I have been practicing the Ghost Heart Art these days and deeply felt the mystery. I am very interested in this amazing person who created this sect’s mind method. Can you tell me about his affairs?" Jin Ling naturally would not tell her that the high priest is the Northern Jin national teacher.

"About the high priest..." Aguna pondered for a moment, "He is indeed a very powerful, but also very complicated person. I think about it... it was probably more than ten years ago that his former high priest Wuerviba was seriously ill, and we went around to seek famous doctors for treatment. It was at this time that he came to the Temple of the Mountain Ghost Tribe. He was wearing white clothes and half a mask, and he didn't know what he looked like. He said that he could try to treat Wuerviba."

"Although I can't see his true face, from his face, back, and even his voice, I can tell that he must be a handsome man. Moreover, from his conversation, he is a very etiquette person. How can I say it, it seems that there is an unconcealable aura on his body."

"We didn't believe him at that time. Because his Man Language was very poor, he was obviously an outsider. Judging from his height and clothing, he might even be from the Northern Jin Dynasty. The men of the Barbarians were not as short as him..." At this point, Aguna suddenly paused, and she realized that saying this in front of Jin Ling might offend him.

Because, among the barbarians, the height of this young man is only equivalent to that of a child.

"But he showed a magical skill." Aguna said this, and his tone began to show reverence. "Just as we drove him away, he gently stretched out his right hand, and the two temple guards floated up for no reason and rotated in the air. He used not the immortal power of the cultivators on the continent, but an invisible power. Moreover, this power was not stimulated from his body at all, but a power that seemed to be achieved through thoughts, and it could even be said that it was divine power."

"He was shocked by this move. Since the high priest was in danger, we invited him to see a doctor. After he tried several times, he said that the high priest was terminally ill and even he could do nothing. In the months when dealing with the high priest's condition, he stayed in the Shangui tribe. He was very smart and knew everything about the Shangui tribe in a short time, and he also showed great interest in the existence of the Shangui heart in the temple. After the high priest's death, he was elected as the new high priest by the temple due to his strong strength. Until he died in the last battle of the Northern Jin Dynasty's attack on the barbarians."

"Around this, he stayed in the barbarians for five or six years. What he did was still very impressive." Aguna said with pleasure and fascination on her face. "He told the barbarians who have always been poor and backward, that the Northern Jin people had a great demand for fishing catches near the barbarians. If they caught delicious big fish in the ze, they could be sold to the Northern Jin and obtained money. Over the years, the Shangui tribe has indeed improved its livelihood to a certain extent by reliing on selling the catches."

It turned out that the fishery trade between the Northern Jin and the barbarians was first proposed by the national teacher. This was really unexpected.

"He is very interested in the heart of the mountain ghost?" Jin Ling asked.

"Yes, in addition to dealing with temple affairs on a daily basis, he went down to the underground altar all day to learn about the power of the Mountain Ghost Heart. At first he could only understand at the entrance, and later, he could gradually get closer. In the end, he could already face-to-face with the Mountain Ghost Heart at the bottom. Later, he even wrote a ghost heart art based on all his understandings. He is indeed a very magical person, just like you." Aguna said.

"He is better than me." Jin Ling said sincerely. He suddenly asked, "Master Huang Wu, can I go and see the residence of this former high priest?"

"Of course," said Aguna, "but no one has entered his residence for many years. Since his death, that place has been abandoned. Only after the next high priest takes office can he continue to live. Since you want to see, please come with me."

She took Jin Ling and walked to the left back of the temple, and came to the residence of the former high priest.

It has indeed been covered with dust for many years, and even a layer of gray fell on the lintel of the courtyard. Aguna opened the courtyard door and saw that there was a small courtyard with a obviously Northern Jin garden style. It was not big, but very delicate. There were rockery, fish ponds, flowers and trees in the courtyard.

When he opened the door, a burst of dust came towards him. Jin Ling walked in and saw that the owner's previous living conditions were still in his home. A bed, a table, a chair, and very simple furniture. Not to mention luxury, even the living conditions of ordinary families were not as good as those of them.

And this is the high priest who is worshipped by the barbarians as gods.

"It seems that the national teacher is a true sage." Jin Ling had special respect for the powerful man who lived a simple life and couldn't help but sigh.

"National Master, what national master?" Aguna asked inexplicably.

Jin Ling knew that he had sighed inadvertently and said with a smile: "Our national teacher of the Northern Jin Kingdom, like you high priests, lives very simple. I admire such people very much."

"That's true. His things are worse than ordinary barbarian families." Aguna deeply felt. "We have persuaded him to buy some things many times, but he always said that those things have things outside of the body. If there are too many things outside of the body, the mental strength will not be able to keep up. Therefore, the fewer things, the better, so that the clearness of the original mind can be maintained." (To be continued)
