42.Chapter 42: Religion and Christianity
"So, that's the guidance that the Prophecy Tarot gave you?"
Taking the small card from Abu's hand, Mu Mu carefully looked at the beautiful drawings on it.
The painting shows a puppet doll covered in snow white and pure eyes, with a pile of black cloth under his feet, I can't tell if it's clothes or anything else, and the background is a slightly gloomy looking house, with a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, and if you look closely, there seem to be two white rods, like bones.
Abu sat on the back of the chair, his chin resting on the top of the back of the chair, looking depressed: "Yes, this is the guidance she gave me, but I don't know what it means, and she kicked me out when she wanted to ask a question."
"Are you sure she said the 'the person you're looking for isn't in this world'?"
"Well, that's all she said, and I don't remember wrong."
"In that case...... Mu Mu handed the card to the iron puppet warrior who had been wanting to see it for a long time, "I think the problem may lie in the sentence 'you think is heinous' that you also have questions, since it is 'you think', it means that the old king is not heinous in nature, but what we are looking for is heinous him, in this way, the person we are looking for is indeed not in this world." ”
"But the question is, what's wrong with that? The old king harmed the puppet country so badly, and almost destroyed the wisdom of the puppet country, this is what we have seen with our own eyes, can he still be a good person? ”
"Maybe the old king didn't do these things with his intention, but was controlled by others?"
"......," Abu said after a few seconds of silence, "a witch?" ”
"This is just one of the possibilities, don't forget that the prophecy given to us by the elves was 'the previous king has come back from the dead with the help of evil forces', but we don't know whether the old king himself is evil or not."
"Ahh......h ”
Mu Mu pouted: "I don't think you have as much as my wooden head today." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the iron puppet warrior who was staring at the card, "What about you?" Big man, what did you think of your iron bump? ”
The warrior tapped his iron helmet with his hand and smiled, "Since we can't figure it out, why don't we go to the Prophecy Tarot for guidance?"
Abu wrinkled his nose, "I don't want to see her again."
Mu Mu blinked: "Then I'll go?" ”
"But now there are so many people who go to prophecy tarot, you can borrow the king's privilege once, and if you have too many times, it should make everyone angry, right?" Abu thought back to the bad feeling he had when he first came out of the tent, and he was suddenly excited.
Hearing him say this, the warrior suggested another suggestion: "Then let's go find the prophetic elf, maybe it can give us a clear answer?" ”
"That's the only way, let's leave tomorrow."
"Hmm."
The Elven Forest is a vast primeval forest, located in the northern region between the Muppet Country and the Iron Puppet Country, because of the danger, so there are very, very few people who go there, if it is not for the Prophecy Elf, and there are warriors by their side, Abu and Mumu The two little children do not have the courage to approach the Elven Forest.
Starting from the puppet country, the three of them drove the carriage for seven days before finally reaching the edge of the Elven Forest, and this is the place where Abu and the others first met the prophecy elf.
After a short rest, the three of them headed deeper into the forest.
However, as before, no matter how they searched in the Elven Forest, not only the prophetic elves, but also the shadows of the other elves, if they did not know for sure that this was the Elven Forest, they almost thought that they had found the wrong place.
Mu Mu, who had been tired for a long time, sat on the root of a big tree and fanned himself with a large leaf: "If you can't find it today, let's go back, we have been away from the puppet country for so long, maybe we don't know what has happened." ”
Abu took out the kettle and poured half a pot of water into his stomach, agreeing to Mu Mu's construction: "Indeed, it's not a way to always look for it so aimlessly, and it really can't go back and then find the Prophecy Tarot for guidance." ”
"Hmm!"
Of course, the three protagonists don't know that there is such a thing as a script in this world adapted from a fairy tale, and in the absence of major changes in the main line, even if there are unexpected events, it will not affect the step-by-step development of the plot.
In the original plot, the old king who returned to the puppet country and Alice planned a lot of horrors together, and led many puppeteers to move out of the puppet country, which alarmed the elves who like peace to come out to inquire about the news, and when the old king's black hand reached out to the wisdom of the puppet country, the prophecy elf would appear for the second time to guide Abu and them, which is a causal connection.
Although Yang Qinglan didn't follow the original plot at all, she hasn't destroyed the main plot so far, she is in the puppet country, and she also has serious activities, and she also used Alice to cause riots/turmoil, but there is no puppeteer who moved because of the appearance of the predicted tarot, and there will be no elves who come out to inquire about the news, Abu They can find the traces of the elves in this situation is simply a BUG.
Just when the three protagonists returned in vain, Yang Qinglan, who was in the puppet country, was already a little nervous by the people of this country.
Led by Aunt Yamaki, who was the first to receive guidance, a group of puppeteers who believed in the Prophecy Tarot established the "Tarot Sect", and designated the area around the black tent as a sacred area that non-senior believers were forbidden to set foot in, not only to maintain the image of the Prophecy Tarot to the extreme, but also to intervene in arranging candidates to receive guidance every day - those who are not pious to the Prophecy Tarot are not qualified to receive guidance!
So her previous complaint actually became a reality!
This feeling of not doing anything, but things are getting bigger and bigger, is simply too mysterious!
Once again, she experienced the feeling of watching Qing Mengli's progress bar grow like fertilization, but she was confused.
Who can sue her for this?
What made her feel even more powerless was Alice's change.
I don't know if it's nourished by the power of faith, Alice is becoming more and more like an angel, the ivory-like skin is white and conspicuous even in the dark, and it is simply glowing in the sun, and it feels like she will be blind at a glance, and she can't look directly at all!
Alice is certainly clear about her changes, but she enjoys it.
"Lan Lan, I can feel that my magic power is growing every day, probably after a while, I will be able to become a witch even more powerful than my mother, and I will definitely be able to help you restore your original appearance when the time comes!"
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it."
Yang Qinglan felt that she didn't have to do anything with her own hands in the future, as long as she waited for Alice to turn the entire puppet country into her own believers, and then sent an "oracle", saying "The old king is a good person, don't hate him", probably her supporting role task can go straight to 100% properly.
Even the two protagonists, Abu and Mumu, as long as Alice can fool, it is probably not a problem.
It turns out that the key point of this task is Alice......
At sunset, a sad mummy sits on the roof of a house looking up at the sky at 45°.
Because she was afraid that the Tarot Sect would make something big, and in order to protect Alice, when the number of Tarot Sect believers was so large that Yang Qinglan felt panicked, every time Alice fooled people, she stood behind Alice in a black robe, always vigilant.
Just when she thinks it's almost time to gradually wash the charcoal king through Alice's mouth, Mumu becomes the second person in the protagonist to visit the black tent.
Seeing Mu Mu come in, Alice, who recognized him, also cheered up to avoid accidentally ruining Lan Lan.
"Hello, Great Prophecy Tarot, I am Mu Mu, a loyal believer who has come to ask you for guidance, please give me guidance!" After bowing more than 90 degrees, Mu Mu knelt down at a low table in the middle of the tent.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Yang Qinglan's mouth twitched, and when she looked up, she found that the curtain at the door had moved, and she could vaguely see that someone seemed to be listening, and she gave twelve praises to Aunt Shanmu in her heart for their combat effectiveness.
The Tarot religion is still very rudimentary, and the doctrine says:
Prophecy Tarot is great! It is not to be blasphemed! The prophecy of Tarot giving guidance to believers is against the will of the gods, but it blesses believers, and believers must be pious!
When you see the prophecy tarot, you need to use honorifics!
You can only kneel in front of the Prophecy Tarot!
Don't ask the Prophecy Tarot for questions other than guidance!
Violators will be punished!
……
Just a few days ago, Yang Qinglan and Alice Stone Guò Crystal Ball saw with their own eyes that a puppeteer who had not finished the "audience" arranged by the Tarot Sect as completely as Mu Mu had just come out of the tent, and was dragged to the corner by the Tarot Sect and violently dismantled into pieces of wood, leaving a head that kept repenting, and it took a full hour to repent, and then he was put back together and released to freedom.
Although this punishment scene was not bloody, it was absolutely terrifying, so that she didn't sleep well that night, but Alice was in high spirits, and the next day she specially invited Aunt Yamaki and other Tarot high-ranking officials to come in and give them a free guide, of course, the final result was that they were more religious......
is worthy of being the daughter of a witch, and some things can be taught without a teacher.
Yang Qinglan was only distracted for a while, Mu Mu had already drawn three cards, respectfully waiting for Alice's guidance.
Alice glanced at the three cards, and said according to the content agreed with Yang Qinglan before, "You are suspicious." ”
Mu Mu sat there motionless, not even his expression changed, and he couldn't see what he thought of this analysis.
Alice ignored him and continued: "You are suspicious, but there is no evidence; You have companions, but you have different ideas; You're looking for an answer, and the answer is confusing. ”
Mu Mu's breathing became noticeably heavier, Alice's face hidden under the hood wore a smile of control, and his left hand, hidden under the table, unleashed a disturbing magic that had been hidden in the tent for a long time, shaking him even more.
Mu Mu was originally a teenager, young and immature in thought, where could he resist the flickering of a witch? Almost as soon as the magic was activated, he raised his head, his face almost as devotion as the Tarotists.
Alice handed him a card: "This is the guidance given to you by the tarot cards: wait for the answer." ”
Taking the card with both hands, Mu Mu left the tent backwards with a grateful face.
Yang Qinglan, who was standing in the corner of the tent, breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally time to close the net!
