The Saint's Palace is located at the highest point of this ancient city.
It is a three-story ancient castle-type residence.
Fan Wei, who was crossing the square, looked up at the waterfall formed by groundwater flowing slowly from a high place in the distance.
He couldn't help but marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of the ancestors of the Five Dragons who built this underground palace.
"This Five Dragons City has a history of one or two hundred years.
It was built by the ancestors for the Five Dragons to avoid war."
The great elder seemed to see the surprise in Fan Wei's eyes and smiled, "No one will know that in Under this deep canyon, there will still be such a magnificent and glorious city.”
"I heard from Yang Li that you are ancient Chinese, right?
May I ask why your ancestors moved into the mountains and finally took root in this deep mountain canyon?
Did your previous ancestors hide in to escape the war?"
Fan Wei Zhen was a little curious.
Being able to build such a magnificent ancient city must have been something only capable people in ancient times could do.
How could these talents have been reused in the past?
The main reason why they fled into the mountains was probably There must be some unavoidable reasons The great elder leaned on crutches and chuckled, "I'll let the saint tell you the specific old things about our clan.
Of course, the premise is that you can gain her trust.
As an elder, I have no right to tell outsiders the secrets of my clan. , although you are our honored guest” "Great Elder, what kind of woman is the saint of your clan?
Can you tell me what the selection process of the saint is like?"
Fan Wei is quite interested in this five dragon clan.
After all, he can do it quietly.
Living alone in isolation for so long, this tribe is full of mystery.
"Oh, I can tell you about this."
When the great elder heard what Fan Wei said, he couldn't help but said, "The rules of this clan require that there must be two people in charge of the whole clan.
They are male and female, and the male is the clan leader.
The affairs of the whole clan are lifelong and hereditary, that is, inherited by the royal family of the Five Dragons.
But it is a pity that the last emperor.
The heir of the clan, that is, the previous clan leader took Fengyu out of the mountain when he was only twenty years old, and has not been able to come back.
Therefore, the next clan leader has no one to take over, because there is no Fengyu in hand.
The rules do not allow the clan leader to be re-elected.
Now Fengyu finally appears, and our clan finally has new hope."
Fan Wei nodded.
He had long heard about the importance of Fengyu from Yang Li.
Now that he saw the great elder saying this, he undoubtedly understood it even more deeply.
It seems that this phoenix jade is not only the treasure of the Five Dragon Clan, but also the only evidence for selecting the clan leader.
Without this jade pendant, the Five Dragon Clan would not have a clan leader.
For them, this importance is obviously self-evident.
"The highest number of women in this clan is the saint.
Unlike the clan leader, the saint cannot be in charge of things in the clan, but she is in charge of the sacrifices and activities of the whole clan, as well as all the treasures of the ancestral hall.
The saint is not hereditary.
But it must also be held by a noble woman in the family.
Once she becomes a saint, she will become the most beautiful and pure woman in the family who is closest to God.
The selection of a girl usually starts when she is around eight years old.
Once she becomes a candidate, she must start to learn a lot of knowledge and behavioral rules necessary to become a saint.
It is not until the coming of age ceremony at the age of sixteen that a new saint is finally selected.
The general term of office for a saint is from sixteen to thirty years old.
Once a new saint is elected, the old saint must abdicate and die alone in a cave in the mountains. " "Why is this?"

Fan Wei said in shock, "Why must the old saint's end be so miserable?"
"Saints die alone in caves because of their arrogance and sense of superiority.
Saints can have the opportunity to choose a mate before reaching the age of thirty, as long as she chooses the man she loves and is willing to give up all the wealth of saints Ronghua, then she can follow the man down the altar and return to the world "Unfortunately, there are too few saints who choose this way.
It is really difficult for the proud and pure saints to lower their noble heads.
They would rather die alone."
They are generally not willing to give their bodies to men in exchange for an ordinary life.”
Only then did Fan Wei understand the whole story.
Suddenly, his sense of mystery and expectation for the saint he was about to meet was completely destroyed, and was replaced by a look of deep pity.
From the age of sixteen to thirty, in just fourteen years, they will fall off the altar.
Their beauty is no longer there, their figure is no longer there, only their bodies and faces have aged, and they will die alone.
This is indeed very sad.
And pitiful.
The pride of these saints is simply extremely childish.
Their outlook on life and values are too closed-minded, which directly leads to their willingness to choose such a life.
Seeing the regret and helplessness on Fan Wei's face, the great elder whispered quietly, "Mr.
Fan, this saint is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
You are wearing a phoenix jade and have the power of the patriarch, so you can naturally see her.
See her true face.
If you really want to do her best, find a way to let her go with you and take her away from here."
Fan Wei was stunned, turned to look at the Great Elder who seemed to be looking quite depressed, and said in surprise, "Great Elder, how could you say such a thing and ask me to take the Saint to leave the Five Dragons Clan?
Why?"
The great elder looked up and sighed with a painful expression, "That's because this saint is my daughter and I really don't want her to die alone when she reaches thirty, and end up with a miserable end."
"Your daughter."
Fan Wei's eyes widened, and he realized after half a minute, and said rather seriously, "Great Elder, since you don't want her to end up with a miserable end, then why do you want her to become a saint?
You can't persuade her to find a man to marry, just don't be a saint."
"You don't understand that it is the obligation of all the girls in the clan to choose a saint, and all girls must participate.
Moreover, once you become a saint, you are not allowed to have private contact with other men except for official business, even during the four years during which my daughter became a saint.
Over the years, I have only seen her five times, four times at annual sacrificial ceremonies, and the last time was to save you.
You said, how could I have the chance to persuade her?
I don't want to, but I can't help it, because my daughter is too good and beautiful.
She is smart and smart, so she must be the candidate for the saint."
When the great elder said this, he said seriously, "Mr.
Fan, let me ask you, the two of you. , was it my son who discovered near the Valley of Flowers and was it my Great Elder who personally allowed you to take your life in Five Dragons City?
Was it that I asked the Holy Lady to agree to take out the family treasure Panacea to save you?"
