Chapter 1165: Purify

Just when Su Xinyuan rushed to Hanbao City in Dejian City, Europe, and saw Luo Jiu and Lixiang, two girls who had recovered from surgery, they were also in another location in Europe, in the small country of Fandigang in Maro City, Italy, and there were two figures walking on the streets......

The two guys walked together and looked very incongruous, one was a European gentleman, an old man in his sixties, and the other was an oriental man with a Chinese face and a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, a middle-aged man in his forties.

These two people are none other than the "Blood Emperor" Douglas and Lin Xiao who left the "Blood Clan Castle" before! It's just that the two guys Chiwei Ji and King Kong, who were brought out of the "Blood Clan Castle" by them before, didn't know where they went and weren't with them.

Fandigang is an independent sovereign state, and because it is bordered on all sides, it is also called "Guoguo". It is also the center of Catholicism in the world, the seat of the Holy See headed by the Pope. It is the seat of the Holy See, the highest authority of the Catholic Church, and is also the seat of the Pope.

It is the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population, but it is also one of the smallest and least populated countries in the world.

With an area of less than 0.5 square kilometres, the country is smaller than the average small city, and its territory includes St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica, the Pontifical Palace, the Pope's summer resort, Fort Gandolf, and the Van Tegang Museum.

It is roughly triangular in shape and surrounded on three sides by walls, except for St. Peter's Square, which is located in the southeast of the city. It is located on the right bank of the Tiber River, bordered by the surrounding walls, and there is a "secret passage" that leads from the famous Castel Sant'Angelo to the city of Vandica.

It is a state of religious leadership, and the head of the Vatican, the Pope, is elected by cardinals under the age of 80 at the Popal elections held in the Sistine Chapel for a lifetime term.

It houses the Pontifical Secretary of State and ten Holy Ministries, each of which deals with a religious task. In addition, there are secretariats, tribunals, specialized offices, etc.

There is even a religious court in Fandigang, which consists of the Holy Pardon House, the Supreme Court and the Holy Wheel Court, which have different roles and the nature of the trial they are aimed at. It is said that beneath St. Peter's Cathedral in Vatican, there is even a secret so-called "Inquisition" dedicated to trying those they consider heretical!

Of course, this is just a rumor, and it is also a rumor that is prevalent in the global martial arts cultivation world, at least, ordinary people in the secular world have never known about it.

St. Peter's Cathedral is located on the west side of St. Peter's Square, the whole church building presents the Greek cross structure, the shape is traditional and sacred, the main building of the church is more than 40 meters high, including the portico more than 200 meters long from east to west, more than 130 meters wide from north to south, the total area of the building is more than 20,000 square meters, it can accommodate up to 60,000 people, there is a Michelangelo design in the middle of the church from the ground up to more than 100 meters, the circumference is also nearly 100 meters of the circular dome, it is not only the commanding height of the city of Van Diegang, but also the highest point of the whole Roman city.

There are five doors in the whole church to enter, but the "Holy Door" on the right side is closed almost all the time, revealing a mysterious and strange feeling!

After all, the European religion is the largest theocratic gathering center on the earth, and here, there may not be many existences with strong military value, but there are many clergy with divine power.

In addition, there are still a lot of ascetics in the entire European sect, these guys don't seem to have much strength on the surface, almost exactly the same as ordinary people, but in fact, due to years of penance, they have more or less mastered some divine arts, once they really need it, in a big battle, these guys can play a great role!

……

At this time, the Holy City Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica on the west side of St. Peter's Square!

Since it was still daytime, the entire St. Peter's Square was crowded with people from all over the world who came here for the pilgrimage.

The whole church has five doors to enter, four of which are now open, and visitors enter St. Peter's Cathedral through the main four doors and pray devoutly.

However, the "Holy Door" on the right side of the cathedral is closed as tightly as ever at the moment, people are used to it, this so-called Holy Door, which is usually closed almost all the time, will only be opened once every twenty-five years on Christmas Night, revealing a mysterious and strange feeling!

In fact, although this holy door also enters St. Peter's Cathedral, the place where it enters is not the area open to the public of St. Peter's Cathedral, and the area after entering through this holy door is not connected to the area that can be reached after entering through the other four portals.

After entering this holy door, although there is also a piece of buildings on the ground, but these are all hidden from the people, in the corner of the building on this ground, there is a side hall, which is actually an entrance, leading to the underground.

After going down the stairs, when you reach more than ten meters underground, an open underground hall suddenly appears in front of you, and the second underground floor below this underground hall is completely connected to the prison cells, and all the people imprisoned in it are recognized as heretics by the Vatican.

And the upper floor of these cells, that is, the open hall on the first underground floor, is surrounded by some houses carved along the underground walls, and this is the "Inquisition" that belongs to the legendary existence of the European religion even in the global martial arts world, and this place, this institution, ordinary people in the world, including those believers, have never heard of it at all.

The large underground square, surrounded by rooms around the open hall on the first basement floor, is called the Place of Judgment, where some of the major events of the "Inquisition", such as the so-called "public trial" of a certain heinous heretic, are usually held.

But at this moment, although there is no kind of judgment taking place in this huge judgment square, there are many more clergy gathered here than at any time before! As far as the eye can see, the huge square is full of people, and at least nearly 100 people are densely packed here, all sitting cross-legged on the ground, their eyes closed, and their mouths full of words.

Some of these nearly 100 figures were wearing Jiaoyan's divine robes, while others were dressed in crude linen clothes, with unkempt hair and unshaven beards.

These people wearing divine robes are all clergy of the Jiaoyan, and those who look like beggars are all ascetics who are secretive in the teachings.

The status of these ascetics in the teachings is very high, faith is everything in their lives, in the teachings, their status is equivalent to the elders in the ancient martial arts sect in China, they do not have the same superficial glamorous status as the clergy in the teachings, because they have disdainful of them, everything they do, is just for faith!

Faith is what their lives are all about!

These ascetics don't even have family and friendship, and they don't even integrate into society, they generally just choose a place to meditate, and the daily homework they do is to pray to God.

Therefore, every ascetic is very respected in the teaching, and there are even many clergy who are inferior to them in terms of devotion to God.

It is precisely for this reason that the power of faith and divine power that these ascetics receive from their gods is even more refined and immense.

Some of the so-called "divine arts" inherited in the European religion cannot be performed by some cardinals, because the faith is not enough, and the divine power cannot be supported, but some ascetics can easily perform it.

Some of the older ascetics, even the Pope, respected him.

At this moment, in the Judgment Square on the basement level, among the hundreds of figures sitting cross-legged in prayer, there are more than half of these devout ascetics.

These people are almost invisible in normal times, not only can ordinary believers outside not see them, but even the clergy in the church are difficult to see them.

They were just in retreat at the place where they were cultivating, and they didn't even bother to take care of their hair, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the unshaven beard.

At this moment, dozens of ascetics were gathered in this trial square on the basement floor, and there was no doubt that this alone could tell that there must be some kind of extremely important ritual or judgment going on here!

In fact, the clergy and ascetics had been sitting in the square on the basement level of St. Peter's Church for a whole day......

And in the center of the nearly 100 clergy and ascetics who were seated, there were two figures lying on the ground, motionless, as if they were dead.

In fact, these two figures are indeed almost dead, they only have a weak heartbeat and breathing, and this level of heartbeat and breathing is not enough to support the normal metabolism of human beings.

It can be said that these two figures are like real living dead, not dead, but almost dead.

What is surprising is that these two people lying on the ground are actually the two of them, Chiwei Ji and King Kong, who were brought out from the "Blood Castle" by the two guys "Blood Emperor" Douglas and Lin Xiao, but for some reason, they were originally with Lin Xiao, but now they are lying in the mysterious Inquisition of the European Religion.

This thing really reveals a weird feeling.

And right now, the reason why the nearly 100 clergy and ascetics of the European religion who are sitting around the figures of Chio Ji and King Kong is praying is to purify the evil aura in the bodies of Chio Ji and King Kong, save their souls, and let them return to the arms of the Lord from the control of the so-called demons......

On the side of the underground hall, there were several elderly clergy wearing high-ranking robes, and one of them was the Pope of the European Sect.

At this moment, the modern Kyogen Pontiff, whose eyes were falling on Chio Ji and King Kong, who were surrounded by the clergy and ascetics, frowned and whispered softly: "These two guys obviously have great power in their bodies, but ...... How could their souls be tainted with such an evil aura? Purify, maybe this can really make them wake up, and at that time, Jiaoyan's secret guardian power will undoubtedly be greatly improved......"
