Zixuan Realm, a land that the southern dream country of the mainland has occupied. Among them, it is adjacent to the Frost Kingdom, which is the closest country of the northern resistance army in the dream country occupied area. Among the cities in the northern part of the country, there are many

Tens of thousands of people are gathering in the city's central square, which seems to be conducting a large-scale collective activity.

It was clearly a large crowd of people from a distance, with a large crowd of people, but it was not noisy or chaotic at all.

There are people entering and leaving the entrances and exits of the square every moment, but there is no sense of congestion in the order and chaos. Every person entering the square will consciously find a free place along the planned sidewalk, and then

Silently, kneeling down on the cotton pads that had been laid in the square, with both knees and hands folded to face the center of the square, then closed their eyes and looked serious, whispering softly or quietly silent, as if they were praying for something

.

Everyone entered the square silently and then quietly left and dispersed, making the entire city center square look lingering with a solemn and solemn sense of solemnity. Even the people watching and residents and businesses near the square were seeing it.

After this scene in the square, I would unconsciously lower my movements, for fear that I would disturb them and destroy this solemn atmosphere.

"Dingling dingling dingling dingling..." On the second floor of a teahouse that is more than 30 meters above the edge of the square, several young citizens were sitting around a table beside the window. One of them picked up a small copper bell on the table.

It shook lightly, and a crisp sound made.

Because the chat and whispers of the guests in the teahouse intentionally lowered their volume, it seemed that they were afraid of disturbing others. Therefore, in this quiet environment, the ringtone with relatively high penetration is as close as the inside of the teahouse.

Even on the first floor, you can hear it clearly.

The waiter who was waiting at the stairs on the second floor naturally heard the ringtone and immediately stepped forward: "Several guests, do you have any need for a small service?"

"Add a pot of hot tea for us." The young man who was rapping the bell pointed to the tens of thousands of people gathered in the square at the end of the street outside the window, and asked the teahouse guy: "By the way, I'll ask you something, man, as a local guy,

People, you should know what’s going on over there, right? Do they often do this?"

"Okay." The guy responded with a smile, skillfully fetching hot water from the counter not far away, helping them fill the teapot, and then glanced at the other side of the square, a touch appeared on his face.

He smiled a little sincerely and said, "If the young man is right, the guests should not be residents of the city, and they have only arrived in the city in the past two days?"

"Yes, you can see?" The young man glanced at the guy.

"Because, the activity there has been in the city for almost ten days." The guy replied with a smile, and then looked at the young man who asked the question in confusion: "Speaking of it, you really don't

Do you know? As far as I know, such activities are being carried out in most towns in today's liberated areas, which is a very common phenomenon."

"No wonder, we all enjoyed and hunted in the wild forests and had not returned to the town for a while, so we were curious." Another young man made a sound to smooth things over, which dispelled the teahouse guy.

Questions.

"Then, I would like to suggest that a few guests go to the branch of the Dream Chamber of Commerce run by the Mengguo government in the city to take a look. I heard that a magical thing called "Lingshu Communication Device" has been recently released there.

I heard from the boss that this kind of thing can not only be used to communicate with people thousands of miles away, but also to query various messages. In addition, there seem to be many other interesting things that I don't understand very well.

Function..." The teahouse guy scratched his head, and his eyes looked yearning: "The shopkeeper of our teahouse went to buy one for himself a few days ago. I saw the shopkeeper use that thing and he

Relatives from other towns hundreds of miles away are talking!”

While recalling, the teahouse guy described in an envious tone:

"Until now, I still feel a little incredible. It's just such a small thing, but it can suddenly release a board that shines like the magic weapon of the monks and adults, and lets the board shine far away.

The scenes and sounds hundreds of miles away... Perhaps this is the rumored method that only the gods and immortals can do it!"

"To be honest, the young man also plans to see if he has the opportunity to buy one for himself. However, after the news spread, I heard that many people are very interested in the strange things sold by the Fantasy Chamber of Commerce, so

The Chamber of Commerce has become in short supply! If you want to try it, you should buy it as soon as possible. If you can really buy it, you can just use the strange thing when you want to find out what news you want.

I found it directly.”

"If it is really as you said, it sounds like magical tools such as the Thousand Mile Message Talisman refined by a monk." Another young man looked thoughtfully after hearing the friend's introduction."

He asked, "But since it was an extraordinary product from the hands of those high-ranking monks, even if the Chamber of Commerce of Mengguo was willing to take out this kind of thing to sell to civilians, the selling price should not be too cheap.

?But you just said, not only your shopkeeper, but you are planning to buy one for yourself?"

When the young man asked this, he looked at the mate with a hint of doubt. Because it was obvious that the mate's family should not be very wealthy, whether it was wearing or doing it.

The profession shows the fact that he is just a very ordinary and ordinary commoner.

Where can he get the funds to buy an extraordinary thing that should be sold at a high price in theory?

It's not just him. According to the normal living standards of civilians in this world, even the shopkeeper of this teahouse should not have the kind of extraordinary magic weapon at the level of "Thousand Miles Message Talisman" that can be saved to afford the monks' special "Thousand Miles Message Talisman"

That's right.

The teahouse guy looked at the young man asking questions with a strange look, then thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Oh, you misunderstood, but I didn't introduce it clearly just now. In fact, the strange things sold by the Dream Chamber of Commerce are sold.

Although the price is indeed not low, it is actually divided into different levels. It is said that it is suitable for the level of ordinary people, but you can buy it with only five taels of silver."

Five taels of silver, according to the private prices of Zixuan Domain, even if you are a profession like a teahouse shopman, as long as you can save money, you only need one or two months of salary to save.

Although the lowest level Lingshu communicator can be bought for five taels of silver, the basic functions it should have are actually not missing, but there are no entertainment expansion functions specially designed for nobles. The guy has already said that

I was very satisfied. Anyway, for ordinary ordinary people, such a convenient magical thing that only monks could use in the past, now if you can buy it with just five taels of silver, it is already considered a profit.

Very cheap.

The third young man on the tea table also asked: "Okay, man, it's really as good as you said. We will go and have time to check it out. Now let's go back to the previous question, the square in the center of the city

The crowds gathered to do things, and they never stopped since the morning. Do you know what's going on?"

"Oh, you said that?" The guy smiled slightly and said, "That was actually an order issued by the Sheriff of the Meng Kingdom, who occupied this place, in the city, asking the people to carry out a prayer ceremony to express their gratitude."

"Gratitude? Prayer Ceremony?" The young man was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Who are you grateful to? What are you grateful to?"

"What else? Of course I am grateful to the dream country." The guy said directly in a tone of course.

As soon as these words were said, the eyes of the three young men changed slightly, revealing a faint sense of astonishment and anger.

However, because this change was fleeting, they quickly concealed it, so the teahouse guys did not seem to notice their brief strange emotions.

The teahouse clerk continued to smile and said, "Although the dream country overthrew the original court of our Cangzhi Kingdom and forcibly captured this country, the emperor above his head suddenly changed. At the beginning, everyone was really uneasy.

But fortunately, Mengguo did not make things difficult for the people. Even when they were sieging the city, they took the initiative to restrain their soldiers. Even after entering the city, they did not do anything to disturb the people, and even used Meng.

The officials sent by the country replaced the military officers and troops of the former Kurato Kingdom in the city, and everything was almost the same. How should people live their lives?

"It's clear that the country's name is gone. As the people of the original Kang Dynasty, do you have no thoughts about it? Do you have no loyalty to the country?" The young man looked at the mate with curious eyes and asked, "Even if it's average.

The people don’t care about this kind of thing because they don’t care about it. But the soldiers under the former Kurato Kingdom who were killed by the siege army of Mengguo must have families, right? Could it be that they have all given up their hatred?"

When the teahouse man heard this, his face finally changed slightly. He glanced around and saw that no one noticed this, he lowered his voice and said in embarrassment: "Customer, your question..."

The young man didn't say anything, waved his hand, took out a tael of silver and put it on the tea table, and signaled to the teahouse staff: "If we can answer our questions well, this piece of silver will be yours."

"Okay!" As soon as I saw the silver, the teahouse staff immediately shone with their eyes. They moved extremely quickly and touched the silver into their hands. After weighing it, they confirmed the amount, and then put it in their smile.

in the pocket.

Then he smiled more earnestly and bent down to the three young men on the tea table and said, "You are asking the right person, let's not hide it. A neighbor on the street opposite my house is a

The family of the original soldiers who died in Kuratsu Country did indeed have resentment towards Meng Country at first, but they did not dare to act rashly due to the power shown by Meng Country. However, later, I heard that something strange happened.

, that family suddenly changed their minds overnight and became no longer hating Mengguo.”

"Oh? Man, since you have such a good news, do you know why this is the case?" The young man asked immediately after thinking. As he said that, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the tea table again, which was very obvious.

The teahouse clerk put away the silver with a smile, then showed a mysterious expression, and said, "I heard that it seems that Mengguo generals the relative of the Kurato Kingdom army who should have died on the battlefield,

He was rescued and returned to that family!"

"What?!" The young man was stunned when he heard the answer, then looked at the teahouse guy with a questioning look on his face and said, "My man, what we want to listen to is real, not the kind of false rumors in the market! People die

You can't resurrect! You have already said before that family's relatives have died on the battlefield, how did Mengguo save and return it to that family? And as you say, this kind of thing

There must be more than one or two households, right? There are more than tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kurato Kingdom who died at the hands of the soldiers of Meng Kingdom. It is impossible for Meng Kingdom to rescue them all, right?!"

"Don't be anxious, please listen to the younger one to explain it in detail." The questioned teahouse guy was not panicked and said with a smile: "In fact, what you said is not wrong, people cannot be resurrected when they die. Mengguo is indeed

Rescue those people, but the rescue we are talking about does not mean 'rescuing'."

"Hmm?" The young man was puzzled, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?"

"This..." The teahouse guy looked around mysteriously again, then lowered his voice and said, "The young man also found out. I heard that the one who was rescued by Mengguo was actually the dead people who died.

What about the souls of those dead people! It is said that although the souls of those who have no physical body, they have retained their spirit and memories during their lifetime with the help of Mengguo. They also have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and can even speak and communicate with others normally.

Apart from having no physical body and being unable to move at will, they seem to be not much different from normal people.”

"We heard that nowadays, as long as those souls are stored in certain specific objects, they can survive. Although it is a bit inconvenient, at least it is much better than the result of a complete soul returning to the underworld."

The guy paused, his face looked a little reluctant but stopped: "And..."

“And what?”

"And I heard that if the fallen people themselves or their relatives perform well enough in the future and can be appreciated by Meng Guo, Meng Guo even promised to recreate their body and truly resurrect them!"

"What..." The young man widened his eyes slightly, then snorted coldly: "It's simply nonsense!! Even if Mengguo really has some means to keep the soul of the deceased so that he can maintain his sanity and continue to stay in Yangshi

, But it is impossible to do anything like the resurrection of the dead! Especially when there are so many deaths!"

Obviously, the young man didn't believe the news that the guy said.

"I don't know this." Seeing this, the teahouse guy smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, guest, I just told you the news we know, but the details are true or false, the small one is actually

I don’t dare to make a promise. After all, as you can see, the young are just an ordinary citizen. Those important things that are related to the core secrets of the Dream Country, how can a plain-headed citizen like us have the courage to investigate?

You said yes?"

"Okay." The young man didn't worry about this topic anymore and continued to ask: "So, what is the so-called gratitude prayer ceremony? What exactly does the ceremony require people to do?"

"It's very simple. According to the officials of the Dream Country, as long as you try to express your gratitude to the Dream Country in your heart and offer it a wish with beauty and praise. In fact, it's fine.

, The people can do this kind of prayer ceremony even in their own homes." The teahouse guy explained: "The reason why many people gather in the city square is because the venue there seems to make this happen.

The praying process is more ritualistic, which can make the gratitude and sincere heart of praying more, and the effect of praying will be better.”

"Is there anything else to pay attention to?" the young man looked at him and asked, "If there was no reason, there shouldn't be so many people who would gather spontaneously to increase the sense of ritual of prayer, right?

As for... in such a short time, Mengguo's prestige here has been so high that it can make the people spontaneously pray for their daily gratitude?"

"The guest official is really a clever." The teahouse guy praised him in admiration, flattered him easily and seriously, and then explained: "This is because if you can complete this kind of gratitude ceremony as required, you can go from

The Mengguo received the corresponding reward, and the number of times is not limited, as long as it meets the requirements. Usually the rewards are some money and food, but there are also other good things. The better the prayer ceremony is completed.

If the rewards are given by Mengguo, the more powerful they will be! If they perform well enough, they can accumulate something called 'Merit Value' in the Mengguo government..."

Finally, a look of yearning appeared on the face of the teahouse guy: "If the merits have been accumulated high enough, I heard that even if you reach the level of extraordinary treasures and extraordinary secret methods, you can even rely on them.
Chapter completed!
