Chapter 143: Christmas Eve!

Nicholas explained to the children the origin of Chen Yuan, he had the honor to go to the East when he was young, and it took nearly five years to return, and that exchange was also the first time Nicholas saw a corner of the East. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He was well transported and returned with a caravan, and the Silk Road had already been opened at this time, and it was because of this that Nicholas was able to return here in only five years.

It was majestic, magnificent, the faces of the Orientals, the armies of the Orientals, the ironclad of the Orientals, the cities of the Orientals, everything was very different from here, and because of this, the moment Chen Yuan's office appeared, Nicholas recognized at a glance that this was an Oriental-style building.

They were strong and rich, and did not make expeditions to the west, perhaps because they were hindered by heavy mountains, but they did not seem to have much hostility towards a brown-haired and golden-haired man like themselves, but a great hostility to another Oriental horse, a people who rode horses, wielded scimitars, and drove cattle and sheep.

"Your Excellency, Bishop!"

One child raised his hand: "Is the East really that beautiful?!"

Nicholas nodded: "It's true, the building there, it's huge, round wood piles, red, purple, golden, white, it's beautiful." ā€

"Their city is not like ours, our great city, a fortress. One of their cities, a little larger, is comparable to our great castle, which is a place where only the Great Lord can live. ā€

The children listened to Nicholas's explanation, and turned their heads to look at Chen Yuan from time to time, at this time, Chen Yuan was on the side, playing with a few more lively children, among them, Angela and the previous voice, questioning Chen Yuan is the devil's child.

"Chen, aren't you really the devil!"

The maroon-haired child began to ask again, and Chen Yuan smiled: "Of course I'm not a devil." ā€

"You can call me a fairy if you want. ā€

"Immortals?

The child was puzzled, and Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Immortal, you can move mountains and seas in a gesture, and you can fly out of the sky." ā€

"That's an angel?!"

The children were surprised, Angela ran to Chen Yuan's back, groped for a while, and said angrily: "Chen, you are a liar, you don't have angel wings at all." ā€

"It doesn't have to be an angel with wings, it can be a birdman. ā€

Chen Yuan teased, and the children laughed, at their age, since they were not under the teaching of the Privy Council, they still did not have much awe of theocracy, after all, the age was too old.

"The gods are the angels of the East?"

The children were chattering, Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile: "It's not accurate to say that it is a god, a god is a god, an immortal is an immortal, and our god is not the same as your god." Immortals, you don't understand. ā€

After saying some strange things repeatedly, the children listened to it with great pleasure, and in the end, even Nicholas ran to Chen Yuan's side and listened to his explanation.

"Chen, what is the devil of the East like?"

The maroon-haired child spoke again, and said three words without leaving the devil, Chen Yuan glanced at him with a smile: "Where are we, the devil is the devil, and the devil is the ghost." ā€

"Devil, the name originally derived from Buddhism, is neither a demon nor a ghost. It's just because it looks like a ghost that it's called that. ā€

"This involves the Buddha again, what is the Buddha? It's too cumbersome to talk about, you just hear it, that's what I said. ā€

"Gods, immortals, demons, Buddhas, ghosts, demons, including people, these are not things that can be talked about at once, even if I talk about it for three days and three nights, you can't finish listening to it. ā€

Nicholas laughed: "Children, let's stop pestering Chen Yuan, he is a guest, and it is impolite to always pester guests to ask this and that." ā€

"Yes, Lord Bishop!"

The children scattered, and the maroon-haired child wanted to say something, but when he saw Angela running away, he chased after him.

"The things for Christmas Eve are ready, and tonight, with your help, it should be a little easier. ā€

Nicholas smiled, and Chen Yuan said: "That's not the case, I still have a lot of things to do." ā€

"And ......"

Chen Yuan looked at the sky, it had just rained last night, and at this time, the air was still filled with the fragrance of earth.

However, there is one thing that is incompatible with this beautiful environment.

..............

The children returned to the town, to their homes, and it didn't take long for the whole town of Pantra to know that there was a man from the East in this outlying and inconspicuous town.

Far, far away, according to Bishop Nicholas, it is necessary to cross countless mountains, cross great rivers, cross great deserts, and finally pass through the great snowy mountains to reach the home of this guest.

That's really far away.

There were quite a few people, men and women, who looked at the people walking beside Bishop Nicholas, with yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, and strange clothes that they had never seen before, but the fabric was really beautiful.

Silk, silk from the East, there were several small town girls looking at Chen Yuan's clothes from afar, their eyes full of envy.

That's something that only the Great Lord can have, and even the Great Lord can't get much.

It was a dreamlike glow.

Chen Yuan greeted the residents here with a smile, at first, everyone was surprised by his black hair and black eyes, some of them had been to the big city, and knew that in the mouths of those merchants, Oriental people were like this, with black hair and black eyes, but they had never seen it, and now, when they finally saw it, they couldn't help but be curious, and kept staring at his black hair.

Soon, Chen Yuan became familiar with the residents here, and everyone also understood that this guest from the East was very enthusiastic.

Time gradually passed, and in the evening, the children invited Chen Yuan to play in the wheat field on the side, in their opinion, where is the most beautiful paradise, as a guest from the far east, naturally want to go to "paradise" to play.

Chen Yuan played with the children until the sun set, Nicholas found him, and said with a smile: "Now is the time for Christmas, soon, we have to go back and prepare today's dinner, and before finishing, we have to pray." ā€

Back at the church, the old church was made of blue, mossy stones, but apparently, Nicholas cleaned it a lot, and the moss was shoveled off, leaving only some indifferent traces.

In the center, the sculpture of the saint, God, or Jesus is enshrined in the center of the church, Chen Yuan doesn't care about this, but when it comes to Jesus, maybe there is a chance to meet.

Calculating the time, it seems to be about the same.

Before the Son was born, God was silent.

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked outside the church, where a dark mist was expanding in a place that ordinary people couldn't see.

"There really is.... Devils...."
