v4 Chapter 810 - Hometown Book
In most and most parts of the classical era, people were unwilling to offer sacrifices to Hades.
This is not in line with the identity and status of the Pluto, but the belief in the classical era is very simple, and the sacrifice to the gods naturally requires the gods.
Sacrifice to the **** of agriculture can pray for a good harvest, sacrifice to the **** of war can pray for victory, and sacrifice to the **** of beauty to pray for love. What is the purpose of offering sacrifices to the Pluto?
No one is too long, let alone a sacrifice, and no one even wants to mention the name of Hades.
Because there is too little faith in the world, and Hades does not live on Mount Olympia, Hades is not among the twelve gods.
Zeus fell asleep, Ares fell, and Poseidon disappeared. Three seats were vacated among the main gods. Hermes took out one of them and gave it to Hades.
December is approaching, what method should Manda use to deliver a sacrifice to Hades?
Hades looked forward to it, Manda was embarrassed, and Hermes was very curious. He opened his mortal vision and looked at the royal capital.
Manda is practicing the sacrifice, the purpose of the sacrifice is to pray for happiness to the departed relatives.
This was the only suitable reason Manda could come up with, but even if the reason was convincing, it did not get a good response.
People don’t want to go to the temple of Hades, and there are few temples of Hades in the kingdom. People don’t want to offer sacrifices to Hades, even if they miss their loved ones so much, they don’t want to face them. Hades made any prayers.
What if Pluto is moved by their sincerity, take them to the underworld to take a look?
With few responders, Manda initiated a compulsory order that all nobles must offer sacrifices to the Pluto, and civilians can participate voluntarily. The royal capital’s sacrifices are given to Stanley with full authority, while Manda travels to various towns to check the status of the sacrifices.
Although Manda did his best, the harvest of the sacrifice was far inferior to the goddess of agriculture and the goddess of stove fire.
In Manda’s opinion, the results were not too good, but Pluto was moved. For countless years, all the beliefs that Pluto has gained come from the ghosts of the underworld. The beliefs in ghosts will not turn into pearls, and Hades’s fountain of faith is almost exhausted.
Now seeing the pearl rolling in the spring eye, Hades decided to send a gift back to the world immediately.
Manda was afraid of this. Fortunately, Pluto was still sensible and did not send mortals directly on the road, but brought their relatives in front of them.
Bringing the deceased directly to their loved ones will have disastrous consequences. Pluto ordered the three thousand dream gods under his command to bring the souls of the deceased into the dreams of their loved ones.
The response to this move was not small. They were able to reunite with their relatives in their dreams. Most people expressed their deep gratitude to Pluto, but some people expressed deep hatred and resentment for it. Manda was one of them. Thinking that Dream God would send Encia, he sent his own brother and sister.
His brother Fox became a pig, and his sister Sardina became a sow.
They knelt on the ground and prayed for Manda’s forgiveness. Manda beat them up and kicked them back to hell, where they continued to suffer.
Hermes closed his mortal field of vision and sighed with a smile: “You can handle such a tricky thing. They want to be half as smart as you.”
He quietly walked out of the temple, came to the bank of Tianhe in the dark, waved at the flowing river, and the thunder scepter emerged from the river.
“This thing is really tough,” Hermes smacked his lips. “Even the water of the Tianhe River can’t destroy you. What better way can I do?”
…
At dawn, Manda had just woke up, and there was a sound of prayer in her ears.
“Great Hermes, protector of merchants, please look here.”
“I’m about to buy a precious volume of books, please tell me the authenticity.”
Transaction appraiser, one of Hermes’ main business.
Manda yawned while sitting on the edge of the bed. Should this matter?
Let’s take a look at what book it is.
Manda concentrated his thoughts and sneaked into the mind of the prayer. The prayer was a businessman in his thirties. He was very pious and focused. There was only the book in his mind.
The first time I saw the book, Manda came to the spirit. The material of the book is a bit special. It is not made of parchment, but made of wood.
This is a scroll of bamboo slips. In previous lives, this is the history of the hometown, and in this life, it is the product of the Qings people.
Manda responded to the merchant: “Buy the book, it’s genuine, you made a lot of money.”
Blue Bay, in the middle room of the tavern, the merchant heard the oracle and was trembling with fright. After thinking about it, he was a little excited. He prayed devoutly and offered a can of wine as a sacrifice, not just to get instructions from the gods. NS?
He took out the purse and poured out four gold coins, six silver coins and more than twenty coppers.
The merchant wanted five gold coins, but he didn’t know whether he would sell the four gold coins.
If you refuse to sell, add two more silver coins.
If you still refuse to sell, there is no way, you have to leave yourself a bit of travel expenses.
Going out of the guest room and upstairs, there is a spacious first-class room, which costs three silver coins a night. Everyone who lives here has an identity. In addition, after receiving instructions from the gods, the merchant believes that he will not be deceived.
Pushing the door into the room, a middle-aged man with a golden beard smiled at him and said, “Did you think about it?”
“Think about it!” The businessman sat opposite the old man, “You said this thing is a book. Although I don’t see a book, I think it should be a valuable thing. I’m willing to pay two gold coins.”
The middle-aged man smiled: “If you are sleepy, find a place to sleep. Don’t come to me and talk in sleep.”
“Three gold coins, no more.”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “Go elsewhere and buy something you want.”
“I really want to buy it! But your price is too high! I bought a book for five gold coins, and people would call me a fool!”
“Those who think of you as a fool will never make a lot of money. The Minister of State in the capital has paid a lot of money to buy books from the Chinges. Guess how much he will bid? Ten gold coins? Twenty gold coins? To him It’s not worth mentioning that this little money! If it weren’t for my age and didn’t want to go so far, I would never give 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, then sighed: “Four and a half gold coins, no less.”
The businessman gritted his teeth and emptied his purse: “I only have so much.”
The number of middle-aged people was counted, and couldn’t help but laughed: “Take the copper, and the rest belongs to me. This is far from the king’s capital. You may have to suffer a little along the way.”
The merchant took away the bamboo slips, with mixed feelings in his heart.
A little excited, he firmly believes that this thing will make him a lot of money.
It hurts a little bit. Four gold coins plus six silver coins are not a small amount, and the middle-aged man is right. It takes at least ten days to get to the royal capital this way. How can you live by those few copper coins?
Return the guest room in the tavern first, and it won’t be possible to live in one more day.
Go to the farmer’s house and buy a few loaves of black bread. Twenty coppers should be enough to eat in the capital.
The carriage can’t be seated, so you can only walk over it…
At the entrance of the tavern, the merchant shivered, and it was too cold that day.
Just walking two steps trembling, a young man suddenly followed.
“It’s so cold, don’t you want to go in for a drink?” Manda pointed to the tavern.
The businessman was surprised, what does this man mean?
I didn’t know each other, why did I suddenly come over to talk?
Manda didn’t want to be ambiguous: “I’m here to buy a good thing, a book, a book made of wood.”
The businessman was shocked, he had just started something, where did he hear about it?
After explaining, I don’t know how much time is wasted, Manda directly took out the money bag: “Please give me a price, how much do you want?”
“I don’t know you!” The businessman raised his voice, and there were many people on the street. This young man looked very thin, he certainly wouldn’t dare to grab it, even if he had a helper, in broad daylight…
Manda took out thirty gold coins: “Enough?”
“You, are you, really, really?” The businessman couldn’t believe his eyes.
Manda took out ten more gold coins: “Is it enough?”
“Yours, gold coins, fake…”
“You don’t even know the difference between true and false gold coins, how do you come out to do business!” Manda threw him a gold coin, “Try it well, is it true?”
The merchant checked every gold coin, and forty gold coins were all real.
Gods really don’t deceive people, this business really made a lot of money, and it made ten times as soon as it changed hands.
It is not safe to put so much money on him, so I have to take it home quickly.
The businessman collected the purse, and disappeared into the morning mist in a trot~www.mtlnovel.com~ Manda took the bamboo slips and opened a room in the tavern.
The pub is really a nostalgic place.
When he arrived in the room, Manda opened the bamboo slips. Since coming to this world, apart from his own simplified characters, this is the first time he has seen text without letters.
Neat, beautiful, square pictures, this is the art of writing that belongs to the homeland.
After reading two lines, Manda was lost in thought.
He didn’t recognize this word.
It should be the mother tongue of the previous life, but this ancient way of writing made him really unfamiliar.
Take it back and study it word by word, you should be able to guess a summary, this seems to be the word “天”…
Manda stretched out the bamboo slips to the end, and suddenly saw a fire burst out.
No good, fraud!
Manda jumped up, and the flames followed, and a voice appeared in the flames: “Claudesai, we meet again.”
