Verse 563: The Scepter of Light

By the time the four of them entered, it was past the time of collective prayer, but devout believers could still be seen everywhere, their hands folded against their chins, their eyes closed, and their prayers were praying.

In the middle of the temple is enshrined a high platform, on which is covered with a transparent crystal, and the sunlight shines through the glass of the dome, and through the crystal cover on the objects in the cover, emitting a bright but soft light, mixed with the light from the rose window, making the whole temple show a mysterious and dreamy color.

The four of them moved forward with the footsteps of everyone, looked up near the high platform, and saw that the crystal cover on the high platform was enshrined in a scepter, and there was a cross star-shaped top above the scepter, which was made of an olive-green wooden square spirit stone as the main body, surrounded by fine high-grade spirit stones, and below was a spherical fiery red fire crystal, the size of a pigeon's egg, the sphere was inlaid with gold edges, and the gold was embedded with a high-grade spirit stone, and under the fire crystal was a huge transparent spar the size of a baby's fist, On one side is an almost black water spirit stone, under this huge transparent spar, there is a white gold spar, shaped like a small orange, and below this spar is the main body of authority made of various spiritual material alloys, which looks golden and magnificent.

Mu Sheng found that the light shining from the dome shone through the crystal cover and hit the huge transparent spar, and the spar emitted colorful fireworks, like small colorful flames jumping one after another, and the ambilight was dazzling. Helplessly, I couldn't stop and take a closer look, because there were too many people who wanted to refer to this holy relic, and after only a short delay, there was already a long queue behind it.

The four of them did not dare to stay in front of the altar for too long, and after a short pause, they reluctantly left the altar and walked outside the temple. In the temple, it was not allowed to speak loudly, nor was it allowed to talk to each other or whisper, so the four of them had to endure it.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the temple, Nangong Yuhuan couldn't help but say: "Oh, it's almost suffocating me, who can explain to me what these twelve holy envoys are, what are the twelve holy weapons? Why is this scepter the most important of the holy weapons?"

Lan Ying'er said with a smile: "Sister Yuhuan is really anxious, and she was busy asking before she got off the altar." As he spoke, he began to tell the legend of the Twelve Sacred Envoys he had heard. It turns out that these twelve holy envoys are the agents of the God of Light in the world.

They were made up of twelve powerful men, and they were successively given the titles of "First Messenger" to "Twelfth Messenger". They are the blades of the Empire of Light, and they are working hard in the Land of Light with the goal of expanding the faith of the God of Light. To a certain extent, they are like the rulers of this land of light, controlling the entire country, and even being able to control the life and death of the emperor, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the heart of the country of light.

"The Twelve Holy Envoys are so powerful, so how can the king manage them?" Nangong Yuhuan asked puzzled.

"Legend has it that the twelve holy envoys later followed the god of light to the heavenly realm, so now the city lords of the country of light are actually the descendants of the twelve holy envoys, and the king is the descendant of the first holy envoy. There are twelve large cities in the Land of Light, and the whole country exists as a federation. Lan Ying'er explained.

"Oh, then, the city we saw that enshrined the Holy Grail is the territory of another Holy Envoy?" asked Nangong Yuhuan.

Lan Ying'er nodded and said, "Yes, the holy weapons enshrined in each big city are different, there are chalices, horns, rings, cloaks and other things, but with this scepter as the first, it is known as the strongest among the holy weapons." ”

Nangong Yuhuan listened and asked thoughtfully: "Then such a valuable holy weapon, just placed in the temple so casually, isn't it afraid that it will be stolen or snatched away?"

Lan Ying'er smiled and said: "I also thought about this idea of my sister at the time, but later I learned that in fact, the current holy envoys in each temple are the descendants of the twelve holy envoy families, and even the elders of the family, and there is actually a magic circle on the altar. ”

"What magic circle? Why didn't I see it at all?" Nangong Yuhuan asked suspiciously.

"It's their unique formation, and it's hard to see if you don't understand it. Wu Fa, as a monk specializing in the study of formations, specially explained: "For example, the holy scepter we just looked at is placed in a small universe model, the outer circle formed by the dome represents the universe, and the inner light strips correspond to the five corners of the pentagram, and the platform is located in the center of the circle. The warlocks here believe that the "small universe" of man is governed by the five stars. Since the pentagram can be drawn with a single stroke, it is believed that it will protect against the encroachment of demons and evil spirits. In the magic circle, the circular magic circle is used to protect the people and objects in the circle. ”

"It's not a five-element formation, it looks like it. Mu Sheng was also quite curious when he heard this.

Wu Fa said with a smile: "This is a small cosmic array composed of a five-pointed star array and a circular formation, if you don't know, it's really easy to make a mistake." ”

"What is the situation of the small cosmic array, and what is the principle of the pentagram?" Mu Sheng asked curiously.

"Haha, that's a long story. It's not something that can be said clearly in a sentence or two. Wu Fa said with a smile.

As they spoke, they had already walked down the temple and the altar, and the two sides of the altar here were the same as the one in the border city, surrounded by small merchants and vendors, bustling with sales, and the liveliness was much more lively than that of Gyeonggi City.

Nangong Yuhuan saw it and hurriedly said: "Oh, let's not panic about these things first, it's still important to go to the market, you say yes, Sister Ying'er?"

Lan Ying'er and Nangong Yuhuan looked at each other and smiled, and let out a silver bell-like laugh and said, "What my sister said is very true, let's go to the market." As he spoke, he took Nangong Yuhuan's hand and squeezed to the front of the stall.

Mu Sheng and Wu Fa shook their heads at the same time when they saw each other, and followed helplessly. Hearing Wu Fa talk about the small universe array and the pentagram star array, Mu Sheng couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, and had the idea of finding out, and when he asked Wu Fa, he didn't have too much detail there, it was all knowledge that was pieced together, and what he knew was only half a claw.

Not everyone in Shengzhou can cultivate, the cultivation here is called divine law or magic, and there are not many people who know it, unlike Shenzhou or Zuzhou, where simple cultivation books can be bought on stalls. Mu Sheng thought about it, and had no choice but to focus on this lively bazaar, hoping to find the books he wanted in the City of Light.
