Chapter 2349 1.238 The seventh virgin
Traveling day and night, Machia, the goddess of the underworld, has reached Rome for half a month.
He agreed with Xunfeng Artemisia. Machia then returned to the city of Seven Hills from Portois.
Come and go all month.
The most important thing about the absence of the year is that a gladiator performance made the Roman emperor Commod in anger. However, Vista's virgin status was high. He should not force himself to do what he did not want to do. Previously, Machia swallowed his anger in order to rebuild the goddess temple. Now, his wish is about to be fulfilled, and there is no need to be coerced by him.
Take the water from the Holy Pool of Egriya at the foot of the mountain and wash away the dust. Machia climbed up the stairs and walked into the goddess temple.
"Makiya!" The virgins protecting fire in the hall surrounded him and came forward.
For fear that the Holy Fire will be extinguished, except for public sacrifices, the idle people in the temple will stop. The Vesta sisters will rotate day and night. They will protect the Holy Fire for a long time. When selecting the Virgin of Vesta, the Chief High Priest of the Roman High Priest will list twenty noble girls. The candidate will be decided by drawing lots.
The Virgin of Fire Protection was first four, but later it increased to six, and seven in the late Empire. The Virgin leader was called the Virgin of Virgo (Virgo Vestalis Maxima). According to records, the Roman High Priests Group (Note ①) selected Virgin of Virgin of Virgin: "It is necessary that the parents are both complete, with clear mouths, clear ears, bright eyes, and perfect body and hair; the parents have never neglected discipline, their parents have never been slaves, or engaged in low-key careers."
It is comparable to the Yeting Court, and the selection of women is legal.
When welcoming the new elected, the chief high priest would say, "I have chosen you to be the virgin who worships the goddess Vesta, to complete the sacred rituals for the benefit of the Roman people, and to perform the duties of worshiping the goddess."
After the service period expired, the Great Virgin will be promoted to a high priest and become the only priestess selected for the Roman High Priesthood.
It is the seventh chaste girl in the legend.
At this moment, it is also in the temple.
"Meet the Great Virgin." Machia and others leaned over to salute.
"How about this trip?" Although the Great Virgin had no expression on his face, his eyes were full of hope.
"Everything is behind you." Maqia then took off her skin and untie the public. She peeled off the layers of wrapping, and suddenly saw a bright light.
"God..." As the sisters exclaimed, the rosewood wrapped around the thin bamboo slowly stretched out. It shone brightly under the sunlight that penetrated the cracks in the dome.
"The Cyris." The eyes of the Great Virgin were also filled with glow.
Under the brocade of the scattered flower silk is also there.
The price of Ji Kingdom is 200,000 yuan. Even if it is ten times high, it can be enough to get 2 million yuan. If compared with purple silk, it is used as a price of 240 taels of gold. 480 pieces, and temple gold coins.
Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a virgin protector.
It is also said that "wealth is not revealed". The great virgin, who urgently ordered Maqia to wrap it up again. He also ordered the virgin to not be leaked. So he went to the virgin's courtyard with everyone to explain the details in detail.
Machia then told the story of the January journey. She also talked about the Chios sisters, the lord of the northern border of Seris, and the new Qin queen Ruqira. The unjust attempted assassination from the Senate to the Roman Bathroom was discussed. The High Priests Group was no exception. Achiria firmly believed that Ruqira was innocent. She was also a member of the sisters. The Virgin Group should believe it.
Machia also revealed the temple carriage, private silk seller, and tray.
"It's feasible." The Great Virgin said decisively, which made the sisters overjoyed. I thought that the private dealer had to do it. The Great Virgin would be very embarrassed when facing him. Unexpectedly, the Great Virgin was so decisive.
With Machia, he looked at him and knew his intentions. The great virgin smiled rare: "How can he have selfish thoughts when dedicating to God?"
Machia suddenly woke up.
However, how to sell it?
The Great Virgin also made a decision. He brought it into the High Priest's Group and sold it among the High Priests. As usual, the High Priest was the head of state. If Commod saw it, there would be a turmoil.
Without further ado, the Great Virgin left now.
Sisters, wait patiently.
Unexpectedly, after three days, it caused a sensation in Rome. First of all, a whole piece was not spliced, and it was integrated. When it comes to weavers, it is far beyond pure silk. Especially when it comes to swinging with the wind, the divine light ripples, the brocade of rosewood, the light and shadow change, and it is lifelike.
The high priests rushed to see each other and finally learned everything by Commod.
He was sleeping in the Colosseum and the Roman emperor who was with wild animals drove to arrive. He saw it with his own eyes and had no distractions.
The offer price was 10,000 gold coins, and all ten pieces were bought.
The Great Virgin was unexpected.
The next day, he entered the palace. Ten scattered flower silks were sold at a high price to the Roman queen, Crispina.
The Virgin Group immediately recruited people to rebuild the Virgin Garden.
"Why create the Virgin Palace first?" Machia was puzzled.
The Great Virgin, wisely answered: "The people of Cialis said, 'If you want to do something well, you should sharpen your tools first.' It will not take a day to rebuild the temple. First, you will be a 'smart weapon'."
"So that's it." The sisters all woke up. As the Great Virgin said, we are all powerful weapons in the temple.
"Go to the branch again." The great virgin, loud and loud.
"How many people?" Machia asked.
"Five people." The Great Virgin swept across. It was a few years ago that he completed the sacred service and served as the Fire Protective Virgin at the same time as Achillia.
"Yes!" The five people spoke in unison.
Without further ado, the five of them set out to go to Portosi together.
Zhendu, Taipu Mansion.
However, the Hou Wan was buried and opened the middle door to greet him.
A banquet was held for Gongsun Erxiong, General Wuwei Gongsun Du, General Fenwu Gongsun Zan.
He was a minister in the same palace and a fellow party member was also appointed. Without the invitation of the marquis, Gongsun and Erxiong should have been to the meeting as scheduled.
The dispute between Zhendu and Shanggong is becoming increasingly fierce. The party is fighting against each other and is openly ruling. There is no way to hide it, and there is no need to hide it. There is no need to hide it when interacting with the party, and there is no shyness. Both parties are like this, and it is not surprising that they have long been used to it.
During the meal, I whipped the cups and talked with joy.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the Hou got up and invited Gongsun and Erxiong to change their clothes together.
Later, we will talk to the secret room.
Tell the Emperor about Duluo.
"Good!" Wuwei General Gongsun Du said flatly: "This is a strategy to eliminate thieves."
General Fenwu Gongsun Zan also said happily: "The emperor is in Luo, and the thieves of Cao are over."
When they saw the two of them, they coincided with each other. However, the Hou Fu Wan finally felt at ease: "I ordered Lu Fengxian to attack Yan in three months. Cao Mengde must lead his troops out of Zhen. Take this opportunity to take the troops into the palace and protect the emperor to go west."
"What should I do with the Grand Tutor?" Gongsun Du, who knew that the Grand Tutor was a pure minister, did not want to force the emperor.
"It's okay." But Hou Fuwan had already made some conspiracy: "At that time, he only needed a forgery imperial edict and could order the Grand Master to accompany him."
