Liu Yichen walked into the stone village, and the first one at the head of the village was the holy temple. In fact, it is a dilapidated stone house.

Although it was just a dilapidated stone house, the thin man who brought Liu Yichen here did not dare to step into it, and bowed outside the door very respectfully: "Lord Holy Envoy, I am a brute cow, an outsider who needs your blessing." ”

The brute bull bowed down for a long time before an old voice sounded in the room: "Come in." ”

Manniu pushed open the door and let Liu Yichen in, and he bowed down and waited outside the door.

The temple is in the ethereal holy realm, and it seems to be very authoritative.

Liu Yichen pushed the door in, the room was very simple, but very clean.

The main furnishings in the room are a statue of a god, a water tank in front of the statue, and a futon.

An old man sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a rosary in his hand and chanting something with his eyes closed.

Liu Yichen didn't disturb the old man, he listened carefully to the content of the old man's recitation, and soon found that the old man's recitation was very rhythmic, and there was a special power that made his body feel relaxed suddenly.

Liu Yichen subconsciously felt that if he recited this kind of mantra-like thing, his body would be more comfortable, so he began to chant.

Liu Yichen sat on the ground unconsciously, closed his eyes, and recited what was actually just a constant repetition.

After I don't know how long, Liu Yichen suddenly woke up, he opened his eyes, and saw the old man staring at him.

Liu Yichen was puzzled: "Old man, what's wrong with me?"

The old man asked, "Can you recite the mantra?"

"Isn't it just reciting a mantra repeatedly?" Liu Yichen wondered: "Isn't this something that can't be recited casually?"

"No, anyone can recite it, but there is only one in ten thousand who can really recite it successfully. The old man sighed: "It's the first time I've encountered such a situation, a person from the outside world can listen to me chant a mantra, and he can successfully recite it." Whether you are a genius or a demon, it fully shows that you are related to the temple. ”

The old man took out a round stone and handed it to Liu Yichen: "You hold this stone and close your eyes." ”

Liu Yichen suspected that it was really a test for him, and after reciting the mantra just now, his mood was unusually calm, and he was not worried about the test results at all.

Liu Yichen took the stone as he said and held it gently.

A chill passed from the stone into his hand and quickly spread throughout his body, and Liu Yichen felt that his body was frozen.

But soon, another warmth burst out from somewhere, and the body quickly became warm, and then it turned into a burning sensation.

Suddenly, all the qiē sensations disappeared.

"Alright. The old man's voice sounded, and there was a strange love in his voice.

Liu Yichen opened his eyes and handed the stone to the old man.

"I have planted an ethereal pearl for you, and your body will slowly recover. The old man said, "However, the ethereal beads cannot be given for nothing, from now on, you will have to do a miscellaneous job in the temple, and at the end of the three months, I will give you a salary, and then you can go anywhere you want." ”

Liu Yichen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect there to be such a thing, just now the brute didn't say that he would do miscellaneous labor.

"You are always free, just do your daily work well and recite the mantra here every day for three hours. ”

The old man looked at Liu Yichen majestically: "If you can't do it, and you go against the will of the temple, the ethereal beads in your body will burst, and you will definitely die at that time." ”

Liu Yichen sighed: "Since I have already picked up a life, I will naturally cherish it." The grace of saving lives, as long as you do three months of miscellaneous labor here, what is it? Don't worry, I'll do it for three months. ”

Liu Yichen doesn't know where to go now, since it's still safe here for the time being, and there is still a salary, so it's better to stay here.

"Okay, you've recited the mantra for three hours today, and now it's time for you to be free. The old man said, "We don't eat at noon in our temple, so we can't eat now." You're just a handyman here, so go outside and figure it out when you're hungry. There is a tavern in the village, which is open all day, and many night hunters eat and drink there, so you can go there and have a bite to eat. ”

The old man said: "You don't have to pay, just record it in the account of our temple, and settle it at the end of the month." ”

Liu Yichen was surprised: "Can I still hang the account?

"The most expensive thing he has there is not worth a few dollars, so you can eat whatever you want. The old man looked at Liu Yichen: "If you can become a saint of the temple, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life, but you must abide by the rule of not eating at noon, and you can't touch women, you are too young, I guess you don't want to be such a saint." ”

Liu Yichen found that this old man was very good, nodded and said, "Yes, I definitely can't abide by these two rules, and I can't be a saint." It's not bad to be a handyman, well, that's just my idea for the time being. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, waving his hand to signal that Liu Yichen could go.

After Liu Yichen bowed and saluted, he turned around and left.

As soon as Liu Yichen closed the door, the old man sighed: "It's a pity." ”

"What's the pity?" In the room, there was a beautiful woman, her eyes were unusually cold, as if there was no love in the world at all.

"Don't you think it's a pity?" the old man sighed, "I've never seen such a talented seedling, but it's a pity that his body is a little weird, and he can't accept the washing of the holy light at all. ”

"I think he's a heretic at all, since he's a heretic, he has to be killed!" The beautiful woman burst out with a thick murderous aura: "Satsuma, I find that your heart is getting softer and softer now, and now I am beginning to suspect that you are still not the famous judge back then!"

"That year was that year, and the heroes didn't mention the courage of the year. Satsuma smiled faintly: "By the way, you, a famous saint, why did you come here?"

"You should know that the Holy Tower was destroyed and many holy scriptures were stolen, right?" said the holy woman, "I came here to investigate this matter." ”

"Oh. Satsuma laughed and said, "Do you think that kind of person can appear with me? If I can't even manage a village, what are I going to do while I'm still alive?"

"Of course I'm not here to look for someone, I'm just stopping by to see you. The saint said, "I'm going to Castlevania, and those people should go there." ”

"Castlevania?" Satsuma's face suddenly changed: "That is the place controlled by the demon god, you go there, although your strength is not weak, but the risk is still too great." ”

"It's risky, and I have to go too. The holy woman sighed faintly: "It is about to be the election of the high priest, I must fight for some votes for myself, this is the best chance to fight for votes." ”

"I think this may be a trap deliberately set by the demon god in order to compromise the strength of our temple. Satsuma said, "Sakya, you are my sister, and I advise you from the position of my brother that it is better not to take this risk." Don't say that the position of the high priest actually has no value and meaning, even if it is valuable and meaningful, you don't have to risk your life to get this opportunity to ascend. ”

"It's rare that you're willing to admit who you are. Sakya sighed, "Now that you have acknowledged your identity, when will you return to the family and enter the family elders' council to take charge of family affairs?"

"I'm not going back to the family. Satsuma said indifferently: "Since I left back then, I have never thought of going back, and if I wanted to go back, I would have gone back a long time ago, and I don't have to wait until today." I have nothing to do with my family anymore, I only have you as a sister. ”

"You. Sakya sighed, "Alright, I'm leaving, and before dawn, I'm going to enter Castlevania." Take care of yourself. ”

"Since you must go, then this one will be given to you. Satsuma took a ring off his finger: "This ring has many wonderful functions, but the biggest function is that when you are in danger, it can send you back from anywhere." ”

Sakya put the ring on his finger and floated away.

Satsuma sighed and began to chant the mantra, and soon the entire temple was immersed in a peaceful and deep situation.

The stone village looks small from a distance, but when you actually come to it, you find that it is actually very large.

Although it was night, and many houses in the village had turned off their lights, there were still some shops on the street with their doors open, some deserted, some very popular.

The tavern that the old man said was very busy, and when Liu Yichen walked in, the sound inside shook his ears.

The tavern was so crowded that there was no place for people to sit at all.

Liu Yichen sighed and came to the counter: "Boss, is there a place to sit down and have a meal?"

The boss was a big fat man, and he pointed to the back: "There is a place in the backyard." You're from outside?"

"Yes, but I'm already working in the Temple. Liu Yichen asked, "Can you keep accounts?"

The boss smiled: "It seems that you don't believe too much in the Satsuma Holy Envoy, and the Holy Temple has never had an errand in terms of money, so you can eat well." ”

Liu Yichen nodded: "That's good, I really don't have any money on me." ”

"It's okay if you don't have money, what can you do with a meal. The boss waved his hand: "Go ahead, your three meals a day will be solved here in the future." ”

Liu Yichen went to the back, and a thin bearded man came over and asked in a low voice, "Is he from the old man?"

"Yes, what's the matter, do you have an idea?" the fat boss smiled: "I advise you to save it, that old man is not so easy to provoke, and the fate of provoking him may be more terrible than death." ”

"Is it really that powerful?" the bearded man sneered, "I don't believe this, I'll do it tonight." ”

The fat boss sneered: "This is you looking for death, I have persuaded you, you can't do it here, otherwise I will not be polite." ”

"You've never been polite. The bearded man sneered: "When have you ever been polite to others, in my impression, you have always been that dead virtue, and you are so unkind to everyone." ”

"Wouldn't I be sorry if I was very polite to you like this. The fat boss said: "If you don't be ruthless, can you do it? People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, and being a good person has no good results, so you can't be a good person. ”

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. The bearded man said, "I have a batch of good things here, do you want them?"
