Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 491: Competition

Troy

In the early morning of the next day, the king summoned the People’s Square to prepare for sacrifices to Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo.

The priest brings the cow. It has a smooth coat and strong muscles. Anyone who has seen it will praise it: "Good cow, good cow!"

It's just that it seems to have a premonition, and it looks suspiciously, hissing from time to time.

The priest held the pottery, splashed the altar with water, the people who participated in the ceremony, and the cow, and then stretched out his arms toward the sky.

"The son of Cronus and Rhea, the father of the gods, the supreme ruler of all things on earth, the lord of Olympus, the **** of the gods-the great and ingenious Zeus, please accept the humble mortal Sacrifice!"

There was silence around, and everyone prayed earnestly. Then the priest slaughtered the cow and the blood ran on the altar. The priest removed the internal organs and bones piece by piece, and sorted the meat for offering.

Pei Ziyun's status is low, and he can only look at it from a distance. Then, something that would never happen in a godless world happened.

On the altar, the most delicious piece of the cow disappeared.

The priest praised and declared: "The effect of the sacrifice is good, and the **** has collected the sacrifice."

The parts that God does not need will be divided one by one, and a grand feast will be held at the same time. Of course, this feast is not something ordinary people can participate in.

In the real history of Greece, cattle, sheep and pigs were also slaughtered. The offal and bones that were not eaten were used for sacrifices, and the rest were divided. In fact, it means the meaning.

On important occasions, the meat will be burned to show piety, but in a world where there is a god, it turns out that God will collect the part that God loves to eat, and the rest of the food that doesn’t like food can be shared by all people.

"The last sacrifice did not seem to attract the attention of the gods."

Tamen, a shepherd came over in the crowd and said excitedly: "Paris, this year’s prize for the 200-meter race is a sheep, and the champion of the archery competition not only has a cow, but also an extra one. The secondary armor may even represent Troy in the Olympic Games held in Olympia!"

Tamen flushed with excitement waved his fist to relieve the excitement in his heart.

"Olympics!" Pei Ziyun was speechless, but looked at his plan more carefully in his heart. The scene just now gave him a great shock.

"This is the world where the gods come and interfere from time to time."

"The relationship between gods and people cannot be guessed from the original world at all. Fortunately, for the sake of caution, I did not have a deep conversation with Gusnée, but only asked him to come to the gods and compose what he said into poetry and chant."

"According to my estimation, this can reduce my responsibility by 70 to 80%."

"It's not that there are no further plans. I also want to say that Paris expressed his love to Onone in the presence of the gods. The maid rewarded by the king never touched him. His love has been tested. Maybe only the goddess Only when his bow and arrow hit his heart will he change his mind. After all, mortals can’t resist God-this passage is sung in advance, so there is no responsibility at all."

"I want to come now, this is really the way to die."

"To completely throw the black pot to the gods, and to expose the plan in advance, it will lead to the murder of Zeus, and Zeus will kill Paris and choose a new introduction to trigger the plot."

"Don't place too much emphasis on the value of mortals in the world of gods-because even the biological sons of gods are disposable props on stage!"

"Simply saying that Paris showed his love to Onone in the presence of the gods, or it was okay."

Thinking about this, Pei Ziyun ran over. The competition included wrestling, long jump, running, and archery. Many aristocratic youths competed in the competition, including the king's son.

Now, today's first race has finally begun.

Standing on the starting line, the two sides of the track were crowded with cheering crowds. Some people even fought to gain a favorable viewing position. The scene was evident on the first day of the competition.

In the original world, Pei Ziyun doesn't talk about Fa blessing, it is pure body, Pei Ziyun can guarantee that no one can run past.

In this world, there are descendants of gods everywhere, relying on physical strength to win the game, Pei Ziyun is not absolutely sure in his heart, but will go all out.

"Paris, come on." Thamen cheered for Paris.

"Paris, I bet all my wealth on you, and you have to win." This is the cry of a gambler in Paris's memory.

With the referee's order, the preliminaries for the 200-meter race began soon.

The moment the racer rushed out, Pei Ziyun ran to the forefront lightly, always leading in the cheering voices, and finally by two distances ahead of the second place, ran over the finish line, and got the audience hoarse. Cheers.

Although Paris is a shepherd, this does not affect the shouts of the enthusiastic audience. They cheered and danced, and the moment Pei Ziyun crossed the finish line, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented climax. Some people were so excited that their voices became hoarse.

This is the enthusiasm of ordinary people for sports in ancient Greece. It is impossible to understand the fanatical pursuit of sports by the ancient Greeks without seeing this scene in person.

The preliminaries eliminated most of the people, and only the best players in each group can participate, and then the official competition will determine the first place in the 200m competition.

Pei Ziyun was sitting and resting. Suddenly, a person came over, behind two guards, both holding spears, staring at him **** the way, making him slightly surprised.

Pei Ziyun patted the gate, pointed at the person staring at him and asked in a low voice: "Who is this?"

"It's Prince Iphobos." Tapmen replied.

"It turned out to be Prince Iphobos." Pei Ziyun sneered slightly. This man was Paris’s younger brother. Originally, Paris won the archery competition, but Iphobos became angry, brandishing a spear, and rushing towards Paris to try He stabbed to death.

Paris fled to the altar of Zeus in a panic and met Princess Kassandra. She was a prophet and was spared the recognition, but Paris was timid and known by everyone, he was buckled by the coward and the weak. hat of.

I originally wanted to change this. Because of this reputation, Paris was destined to have no future in this world-who would follow a coward?

Now it seems that Iphobos is very cooperative!

The finals will begin soon.

"Quick!" At the command, Pei Ziyun ran out in an instant, and there was a faint wind around the running, and the surrounding audience screamed and cheered.

The short distance of two hundred meters is just a short distance. With just a few breaths, Pei Ziyun surpassed Prince Iphobos and other contestants. At the end of the line, Pei Ziyun won the two hundred meters with a far lead. First place in the competition.

Everyone cheered, cheered for it, cheered for it.

Most people are happy, but some are angry and impatient. Prince Iphobos is full of sullen face at the moment. The first place in the 200m race was already in his pocket, but he did not expect to kill a shepherd halfway!

If it's not the game, or the citizens of the whole city are watching, he must give this shepherd a lesson and let him know what is noble and humble!

"When"

A gong rang and someone shouted: "Next game, archery."

Different from racing, what is valued in the world is force. Archery is the most important martial skill. Almost all princes will participate in the competition. Among the princes, there are many people with extraordinary archery skills. Pei Ziyun wants to win in the archery competition. To get to the first place, the difficulty is much higher than two hundred meters.

In the original history, Paris came to the fore, gained the king’s approval, became a prince again, and triggered a war, but it is unclear whether this has the secret help of the gods.

Pei Ziyun looked at Prince Iphobos, and smiled in his heart.

At this time, a bull was led to the field. The bull was shiny and bright. It was a bull from the Ida Mountain herd. This bull happened to be raised and loved by Paris, but it couldn’t stop the owner and the king from taking it. Take it away, now, just in time to get it back.

Don't underestimate the value of a cow. Even if the king sacrifices to the gods, there is usually only one cow. The little gods can only enjoy the treatment of one sheep and one pig. Some weak city-states may even clash for a bull!

This is the prize of the competition. It is very rich and can stimulate the players' performance to the greatest extent, making the competition enter the white-hot stage at the beginning.

At this time, Prince Iphobos, who was in the same group with Pei Ziyun, lowered his voice and said, "You lowly shepherd, why dare you stand with me?"

Pei Ziyun pointed his finger at the newly-worn laurel wreath and the wreath made of olive branches, and slowly said: "Because the gods like the first place, and I am the first in the race!"

Prince Iphobos blushed and touched the bow unconsciously. Just then, the tall and strong Hector came over, causing everyone to cheer.

"Hector, Hector!"

Hector is the bravest, the most powerful, and the best archery among all the sons of King Priam. In the past, Hector has proved to everyone that he is a well-deserved hero. .

Pei Ziyun looked over, and his heart sank involuntarily after only one glance.

The Hector in front of me, the figure of a giant, not to mention, the blood rolling in it seems to be flowing like mercury, and the huge force flows, giving Pei Ziyun a heavy sense of oppression.

"This is the blood of the god? It's better than practicing a Taoist for a lifetime. I am no match at all now." Pei Ziyun thought to himself: "However, I will win because God does not allow Paris to fail."

The archery competition started soon.

Relative to the 200m race is a feast for the common people, archery is undoubtedly more popular with the nobles. This sport can also be regarded as a noble sport of this era. It is impossible for ordinary civilians to have the financial resources to train outstanding archers.

At this time, the entire archery arena was packed. Even the king and queen arrived at the game site, and they sat down on the high platform.

Pei Ziyun glanced at the king and queen on the high platform, and he was already thinking about it.

I saw Pei Ziyun calm down, and a familiar feeling instantly hit my heart. Paris was originally an excellent archer, and now he has inherited all his memories, plus his own understanding of bows and arrows, strives for perfection, and archery is even better.

"Shoot—start!" the commander said.

"Puff puff puff." Prince Iphobos opened his bow and shot arrows one after another without stagnation, which was obviously the result of long-term training.

"Seven Rings!"

"Eight Rings!"

Shooting ten arrows in a row is seven or eight rings. This is a very good result. It is usually enough to beat many outstanding archers. You must know that the achievements of modern Olympic archers are only like this. This is among 7 billion people. Pick it out!

Prince Iphobos was very proud of his achievements.

Pei Ziyun sneered, drew out the arrow, bent the bow to shoot the arrow, and shot the arrow out, only listening to the sharp whistling, an arrow leaped towards the target.

"Ten Rings."

Before everyone reacted, Pei Ziyun took the second arrow and shot it up again, and in an instant it swiped over and shot them all.

"Ten Rings."

"Ten Rings again."

"This is incredible."

Pei Ziyun shot ten arrows and ten rings. Everyone on the field stood up and applauded to Paris. Even King Priam stood up and asked: "Who is this?" /

"Your Majesty, this is the son of your loyal servant Agoraos." Someone reported.

"Just the son of Agoraos?" The king was a little disappointed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, he now inherits the profession of Agellas, becoming a shepherd, and grazing cattle and sheep for you." The soldier replied.

"My status is too humble!" The king wanted to recruit Pei Ziyun as the captain, but now after thinking about it, he decided to temporarily recruit him as his own soldier.

"After all, he is just the son of a court servant. Although archery is good, his knowledge and vision are not enough to support his jump to the captain~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe you can exercise well and you can be promoted to the captain in the future." The king secretly thought. So, even if there is no divine metaphor, the king is still soberly aware of the situation of his country.

Troy itself has fertile land, rich in gold, and also controls the Dardanelles. The Dardanelles, which is an important transportation location, connects the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.

This era is the Bronze Age, but the disadvantage of bronzes is that they are prone to rust. This problem can be solved by plating a layer of tin on the surface of the bronze!

So tin is very important in this era. It is an indispensable strategic material. Whoever lacks it cannot work and fight.

But tin needs to be pulled over in the Black Sea as a ship, and has to pass through the Dardanelles, while Troy, which controls the Dardanelles, can sit on the ground and divide the money. This has aroused the envy and hatred of many Greeks. .

"I need more warriors to deal with the situation." The king thought gloomily. In order to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom, more warriors are necessary, so the king saw this shepherd at first sight!

Not to mention, King Priam is not a fool, he also smelled bad breath from the gods!

At this time, the first round of archery is coming to an end, but Prince Iphobos did not understand the king’s feelings. Another defeat made his face even more ugly. He stared at Pei Ziyun and looked at Pei Ziyun’s smile. Stomped him severely: "This humble shepherd, dared to play among the princes, and won one game."

The servants are all cautious at this time, afraid that they will lose the game and find themselves out of breath. Prince Iphobos almost wants to do something, but when he looks around the arena, he finds that there are people all around, all citizens and nobles, looking to the high platform. Go and find that the king and queen are also present.

Prince Iphobos, who was burning with anger, slowly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were even more gloomy.
