"Good evening, young man!"

The shadow in the corner undulated like layers of water, followed by an old white man with a full beard, the same man he had met during the day.

Speaking in pure Gaul, he greeted Wen Gu first, then smiled at Andrea: "Hello, pretty little girl. ”

"Hello, master!"

André was fluent in Gallic and waved to others.

"I'm sorry, can you think about it like this?" Gu Shi said helplessly.

"Haha......"

Beard smiled, summoned a stick, chanted a spell, and pointed at him.

Well?

Wen Gu felt a strange wave that was not harmful, and his thoughts turned slightly, not moving. And with a little bit of the staff, the effect suddenly appeared, and immediately felt that the connection between each other was more subtle.

"I have to start by saying sorry, yes, I'm following you, you've surprised me a lot. ”

Yo.

Lao Gu became interested. The other party was still speaking Gaul, but he could understand the meaning, as if the language was automatically converted. He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of magic is this?"

"A little communication skill is not worth mentioning. “x

The old man touched his beard and smiled, "Let me introduce myself." My name is Nasmarck Sglone. ”

He spat out a long list of names that Lao Gu had never heard of, but Andre was surprised and excited. "Oh my God, are you Young Master Ernest? Oh, my name is Andrea, and I belong to Weyhan's group of wizards. ”

"Mr. Wei Han? Well, it's not bad. ”

The old man nodded politely, apparently ignoring her. He added: "Young man, to be honest, I have a private party tonight. I'm thinking about whether to invite you... But after watching the battle just now, haha, you are qualified. ”

Roar.

Wen Gu pouted secretly, this condescending charity felt too ridiculous. He is now infinitely close to a human being and can zìyóu breathe. If it weren't for the same field, he wouldn't have seen his details at all.

He deliberately tried to hide himself, but also wanted to investigate. "May I ask what kind of gathering this is?" he asked.

"Don't worry, it's just a couple of old guys, it's just an academic exchange. ”

"Oh, that's great. Respect is better than obedience. ”

Seeing Andrei beside him, eager to try, he smiled, "I'm a friend of this lady." Since I met her, can I go with her?"

"Hehe, let it go, you can come along. Ernest glanced at the little girl and saluted him.

As a result, the old man was the first to lead the way. The three men left the alley and walked a short distance, stopping at a street corner. He picked up the slats, knocked on the lamppost three times, and read a string of strange phrases.

After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a very retro medieval carriage ran out of the night. The coachman was two dark-colored horses, tall and strong, with graceful lines, but their eyes were stiff and dull, not like creatures.

"Magic puppet, please get in the car."

Ines explained simply, the three men got on the bus, and the horseshoe rattled again and headed towards a village on the outskirts.

Wen Gu walked out of the hotel, but within two hours, he saw many strange mysterious powers. He became more curious, the Western world was more heterogeneous, more dispersed, and more factional than the Eastern world, but the whole inheritance system seemed to be more complete than Xia Guo.

Since there was still a long way to go, the three of them chatted casually, and he also found their approximate identities.

First of all, Andrea.

The Weyhan religion was founded 300 years ago. It is based on the ancient Tianzhu "qi" and primitive witchcraft, resulting in a unique practice to expand the realm of body and consciousness.

It is relatively popular in Sam and is officially recognized as a legal denomination. The organizational structure is that the supreme leader is a priestess, followed by high, sānjí, secondary, and junior shamans.

Once you've reached the level of an advanced wizard, you can go out and set up your own wizard organization. The proper name for this organization is coven, a popular translation called group.

Wehrhan's teachings are very positive and revolve around the eight virtues of happiness, respect, honor, humility, strength, beauty, strength, and passion. As long as it doesn't hurt others, it will do whatever it wants.

So they are also very tolerant, for example, very pro-gay.

Andrea belongs to a group of wizards called Lake Dawn. There are 13 of them, and the leader is a high-ranking witch. She is sent by him to Byrne to gather news and cultivate her followers.

As for voodoo, also known as voodoo, it originated in West Africa and is a primitive religion that blends ancestor worship, animism, spirituality, etc. , similar to shamanism.

In the 16th century, a large number of African slaves were sold to Haiti, bringing primitive religion into the past. Later, they took root in Haiti and mutated, forming what is now voodoo.

The most famous of these is the resurrection corpse, which refers to a kind of living dead who are at stake in life and death. Gnomes are one of them, fighting witchcraft worshippers in the United States.

And then there's Ernest.

The old man looks kind, but in fact he is as good as a monkey. He rarely revealed, only that he was one of the leaders of the Gallic Magical Society, in a high position, in charge of the security of this meeting.

Tonight's party was also organized by some of their friends. There weren't many people, just four old people.

......

"Da Da Da!"

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage turned into a small village and stopped in front of a wooden house. The three of them got off the bus. Ernest patted the horse on the head. The puppet turned around and rhythmically disappeared into the night.

"It's not going to be lost, is it?" said Andrei.

"Hehe, young man, do you know why you chose the location of Bonn? Just because there is an old man who lives here, he has established many magical points in the city that you cannot imagine... Let's go, I'll take you to him. ”

With that, Ernest knocked on the door with his cane, and with a creak, the door opened automatically.

Wen Gu walked into the room and looked at it. The layout is simple and there are a lot of things in it. It is very similar to the salon parties that were popular in Europe more than 100 years ago, with a warm fireplace and some soft loungers.

Two men and a woman were already sitting in chairs, both very old, and the white-bearded old man on the left was the head. With a blanket on his legs, he said, "Ernest, you're late!"

"I'm sorry, I was going to pick up two kids. ”

Ines took off his coat and introduced him to both sides, saying, "This is Ehud, this is Marianne, this is Cohen." ”

“......“

The eyes of the three people skipped over Andrea and kept staring at Wen Gu. They were silent for a moment. The white-bearded old man Ehud nodded slightly, "Welcome to our party." I hope we old guys won't ruin your fun. ”

"I'm also lucky to have a nice time meeting you. Wen Gu arched his hand.

In fact, he recognized it as soon as he walked through the door. Ehud was the great protector of the Germanic politicians of the hosts. Marianne Xiaojie was the great protector of the Viking nation. Surprisingly, they were friends – Cohen had never met.

The conversation between the two took the other réndà by surprise.

In particular, Ernest could only sense the other side of the extraordinary, but he was not more impressed. Ehud's power was considered formidable in Europe. With such an attitude of respect for equality, isn't it...

Hiss!

His heart trembled.

Later, six people sat down, each holding a delicious cup of hot drink made of unknown ingredients.

Ahmed said: "I will repeat it again today when new friends come. Although we belong to different countries, here we have no political position, only academic exchanges. We've been talking about this in the past. It's inevitable that we're a little tired. You're from the East, and I'd like to hear about it. ”

“......“

Wen Gu found out. These people knew each other before the Reiki was restored, and they did not change after the restoration. They see each other often.

Of course, this time is definitely different. It more or less represents the attitude of our country. In addition to Cohen, at least the Germanic, Gallic and Viking states had reached an amicable agreement in advance.

However, Ernest suddenly invites himself, although this is also the initial exploration of the spiritual world of Xia zhèngfǔ by the Three Kingdoms.

It was at this time that he suppressed the doubts in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "I'm new here." I don't dare to say anything. We don't know much about each other in the East and the West. As a monk, I will start with this word.

We Xia people often say that one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

What is that? According to our understanding, it is the existence and trajectory of all things. In short, the word nature.

Just as the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, wild animals reproduce on their own, the wind blows automatically without a fan, water flows automatically without anyone pushing, plants grow on their own without anyone planting, breathe without breathing, beat without a heartbeat, and so on.

All of them are going their own way. They are immortal, invisible, without image, without beginning, without end, with everything... This is the Word.

It manifests itself even more clearly in our population and society. For example, the way of being a man, the way of doing business, the way of being a monarch and a minister, the way of learning, the way of harmony between husband and wife, and so on, these are also called Tao.

According to Western religion, God created the world. Scientists also say that it is **àozhà formed the universe. I'm a shallow learner of this, don't make false statements.

We believe that the Tao created the universe and that the universe is made up of qi.

Qi is the origin of the world, and they are all different. There are heaven and earth Huang Xuan Qi, Yin and Yang Qi, Five Elements Qi, Ghost Qi and Dry Heaven Righteousness... These qi make up everything in the world, and it is these qi that we need to practice. “

"Like what?" asked Marianne suddenly.

"It's like... Like this. ”

Gucci spread out his palm, released an aura, and stood up straight. The aura is invisible, and he controls it and vibrates at high speed.

As a result, the air on his palm began to distort, and the space was distorted, emitting circles of energy induction.

"Oh, no elemental ingredients! What a noticeable fluctuation!" Marianne called out in a low voice.

"It is similar to some cultivation methods of ancient Tianzhu, but more pure." Ernest pulled out a tube and snapped it into his mouth.

"I used to read an old book that recorded a method of meditation. It absorbs this qi, but it is very, very difficult and does not seem to be suitable for Westerners. Cohen also said.

"Oh, I really want to test it out, maybe it can turn into something more interesting!"

Just like Wen Gu saw magic for the first time, all of us were new and talked about this strange energy.

After chatting for a while, Ehud said, "Okay, please continue." ”

"Good!"

Wen Gu smiled and withdrew his hand. "Heaven and earth were changed by qi, including human beings. When we practice, we return to nature and the source. In layman's terms, if a person gets angry again, he can be with the sky forever.

This is our brother Xia Guo's belief and the path we are taking. From ancient times to the present, for tens of millions of years, countless people have experienced various difficulties one after another in order to seek a chance to survive. “

He paused for a moment, then said, "So, I dare ask, we practice detachment and zìyóu, living with the Tao, observing the coming and going of the universe." So what do you practice? Is this eternal life?"

“......“

As soon as he said this, everyone present fell silent.

Due to the common language skills, he speaks somewhat elegantly and is understandable to all. Andrea is the most beautiful woman in the house. She knew she was accused of calling. She rarely restrains her temper and is as quiet as a chicken.

After half a ring, Ernest suddenly tapped his pipe and said, "If you had asked me ten years ago, I would have told you that I craved the knowledge and power of magic. But now, I find that I have given the most precious thing in order to pursue these things. ”

"When?" Wen Gu asked.

"Yes! Looking at Europe all over, I think I'm at the forefront of magic theory. But the more knowledge I accumulated, the more scared I became. Ernest sighed.

"Hehe, me too. Do you know what my first reaction was when I learned that the elements had reappeared?"

"I'll go to the cemetery in Lemay to look for the Stone of the Sages. ”

"Hahaha, I really can't imagine you, a cool iceberg, doing such a thing!" Cohen couldn't help but laugh.

"A few days ago, I checked the information left by the teacher, and the Sage Stone should be refined, not the old medicine. For some reason, Lemay lost a stone, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Ehud's legacy seems awesome. When it comes to teachers, the other three show respect.

Then he laughed again: "The new kid asked a very simple question, but we all deliberately avoided it. In the beginning, we may practice for wisdom, strength, wealth, or power, but eventually we all become one. Your name is eternal life, and our name is eternal life. ”

Wen Gu also smiled, sure enough, the monks in this world are generally stupid, and they are all afraid of death!

"Speaking of which, I'll show you something in time. “

"Does your research have any results?" Ernest said.

"It's not about the results, it's just a preliminary recovery. ”

Ehud slowly stood up and graciously led the five men into the back room.
