Chapter 532: Red Ocean
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Yi threw away the cigarette butt and got up to walk to the Paris Hotel, but at the moment of raising his legs, a thought flashed in Xu Yi's mind, why not take the opportunity to go to the church to have a look?
Monaco is not a big city and has a small number of people, but they have the common qualities of Westerners, they have a devout faith, so that even if the place is small, the church is a necessary amenity for them.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi quickly turned around, and several children suddenly jumped out, Xu Yi squatted down and greeted them in English, however, the children didn't seem to understand, no wonder their official language was French after all.
Xu Yi frowned, drew a cross on his chest, and suddenly a child understood, rubbing his thumb and index finger, meaning that he would give money if he led the way.
Taking out his wallet, Xu Yi took out a one-pound bill, and the child immediately took Xu Yi's hand and ran, and after walking for more than ten minutes, the two came to a cathedral.
Monaco Cathedral is not located in the bustling area near the casino, but in the direction of the Royal Palace on the hill, and from the outside, the whole thing is made of white stone.
The overall shape of the church is ancient Roman and Byzantine architectural style, elegant and solemn. The architectural colors here are mostly pale yellow, elegant white and ochre red, which form a beautiful and elegant picture with the blue sky and blue sea, and the falling terrain, and two large palm trees are lined up on both sides of the church, one on the left and one on the right, like two guards.
Now that he has found a place, Xu Yi is ready to leave for the hotel, although Angelo's people are guarding Bai Su in the hotel, but Xu Yi is still a little worried about the battle of those Italians.
At this moment, Xu Yi's heart suddenly had a strange feeling. Moreover, the waves in the deep sea gradually surged, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the Cathedral of Monaco in front of him, as if a voice was calling in the dark, and immediately walked over.
A palm tree stands on each side of the cathedral, and neon lights shine in the distance. You can vaguely distinguish the appearance of the church, which is a typical European-style church.
It's just that at this time, the church has already closed, Xu Yi walked over and pushed, "squeak", the door opened, and a strong cold air shot like a sharp arrow.
Xu was shocked, his feet were stunned, and his true qi instantly ran all over his body. As soon as his body was deflected, the sharp arrow grazed his cheek and shot out, and his hands flipped forward, and a strong wind whistled and swept over, and there was a sound of thunderclap inside, mixed with a muffled snort.
"Who are you and what are you going to do?" An angry voice rang out in the darkness, speaking in a pure London accent. Xu put his palms in front of his chest and kicked open the door with his right foot. Flashed in quickly.
The divine consciousness automatically swept away, Xu Yi seemed to see a blood-colored river surging out, and couldn't help but be stunned, why did the divine sense turn red, and immediately examined the sea of knowledge, and the whole person was stunned for a moment. Red, Nima, red everywhere you look, it's a sea of red.
It's just that the color of the sea water in the sea is not bright red. It's that pale red, which used to be blue, but now it's red, which means that the consciousness has advanced!
Xu Yi's heart was in ecstasy, the advancement of divine consciousness is naturally a good thing, although he has also cultivated the divine consciousness technique in the past few days, but he should not have advanced so quickly, what is going on?
Thinking of this, Xu Yi quickly ran the exercises, and a trace of waves suddenly appeared in the sea of knowledge, and then a gust of wind whistled, and the waves quickly moved forever, swarming away wave after wave, and there was a great posture of sweeping the sky.
With a "snap", the lights suddenly turned on.
Xu Yi reacted quickly, flashed to the side quickly, touched his waist with his right hand, and then remembered that when he took a bath, he had already placed the Desert Eagle under the pillow.
"Hey, you're from the East?"
A surprised voice sounded, Xu Yi frowned, and after his eyes adjusted to the bright environment, he saw a white-haired old man with a withered face sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face full of wrinkles.
This is an old man from the West, as for which country he is from, Xu Yi doesn't know.
"Yes, I'm Asian, what's wrong with you, old man?"
Xu Yi raised his vigilance in his heart and walked over slowly, just now this old man came out with an air arrow, which is also a kung fu that can only be practiced after many years of cultivation, especially for Westerners, it is even more difficult.
Nowadays, the East can practice the inner kung fu to this extent, that is, there are only a few people such as the Hengshan Taoist faction, and when they see such a master in Monaco, they naturally have to ask clearly.
"Boy, you're practicing Taoist exercises, right?"
The old man jumped up from the ground, turned over in the air, floated up to the second floor of the church, sat on the beam, cocked Erlang's legs, and beckoned to Xu Yi, "Boy, come up." ”
These few sentences are in Chinese with correct words, Xu Yi was surprised, he couldn't imagine that this old man's Chinese was so good, what was going on?
Since the old man wanted to invite, Xu Yi was not polite, his right hand turned and pushed, "bang", the door closed heavily, by a little under his feet, his arms shook, the whole person flew up like a big peng, volleyed over and landed on the side opposite the old man, and sat down with his ass in his appearance.
"Old man, do you speak Chinese?"
Xu Yi flicked his right hand, and with a "snap", the light bulb went out, "It's night, if someone sees a light in the church, they will definitely call the police, it's better to turn off the light." ”
"My master is you Han, of course I can speak Chinese, and I have been learning how to speak for 30 years." The old man laughed, "Young man, I can't imagine that you have practiced such a good kung fu at such a young age, it's not simple, I don't know which Taoist master you studied from?" ”
"Oh, your master is Han?" Xu Yi frowned, "Old man, what you just said seems to be a pure British emphasis, how can you follow the Han people to practice kung fu?" ”
"Young man, you don't need to know about this." The old man sighed, "I came to Monaco this time because my master said that there is a duke of the blood clan who is going to be promoted to prince here, so let me come over and take a look at the situation." ”
"My old man finally figured out the situation of this cathedral, and I didn't expect you to break in and destroy our things without saying a word, these are all cultural relics, you know, this church has been built since 1875."
"How do you know so much?"
Xu Yi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand the origin of this Monaco cathedral at all, but he didn't think that this old man would lie nonsense, could it be that he was from this Monaco, so how could he be a British accent?
"Nonsense, this Monaco belongs to Lao Tzu's family, do you think I don't know?"
The old man snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, you have asked me so many questions, and you haven't answered me a single question, where did you learn from, maybe I have heard your master's name." ”
"My master's name is Chi Songzi, how about it, I haven't heard of this name."
Xu Yi smiled, when Chi Songzi became famous, he was afraid that this old man's master had already arrived in the West, so it was naturally impossible to know this name, "By the way, your old man just said that this Monaco is your family, could it be that you are the king of this Monaco?" ”
"Not the king, it's the Grand Duke."
The old man snorted disdainfully, "Uneducated Tubaozi, I used to be the Grand Duke here, and then I followed my master to practice the method of immortality, so I used the method of fake death to pass on the throne to my son." ”
"Then you're here to settle your Monegasque contract with France?"
Xu Yi suddenly remembered what Fillet had said to Battisian when he was playing cards at night, and he said it casually.
"Hmph, what do those cunning French think I don't know?"
The old man snorted coldly, "It's not that they didn't think about sending troops to occupy our place decades ago, and in the end they didn't obediently withdraw their troops. ”
"However, this time I didn't come for this matter, I came for the vampire prince, and the master said that if I witnessed the process of the duke's promotion to the prince, I might be able to comprehend it, which will be very helpful to my cultivation."
The old man shook his head, "The contract expires, and it's next year, so let's talk about it then." ”
A little bit of a head, it seems that the French have not coveted the treasure land of Monaco, but they just hit a nail back then, and it is likely that this old man's master shot behind his back, and in the end, it was even written into the Treaty of Versailles, which shows that his master is a wise and brave man.
France, as a major power in Europe and even in the world, must attach great importance to its own image, and if it really makes a big move for the sake of this small interest, it will outweigh the losses.
Moreover, the military security of Monaco is still provided by the French, and they do not even have the power to appoint their own officials, and they can share taxes with Monaco, etc., so why not.
It's just that, listening to Batisien's tone today, it seems that the French have some ideas again, and they think that they are also trying to extort more money from Monaco, or that someone within the French wants to use this matter as a breakthrough and do something.
"Your kid's true qi is majestic, how did you cultivate at such a young age, and what is your name?" The old man smiled, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Li Ming, Mu Zi Li, Sun and Moon Ming." ”
Xu Yi was stunned when he heard this, didn't this old man say that he was from Monaco, and besides, he did look like a Westerner, why did he suddenly have a Chinese name? (To be continued.) )
