Chapter 832: Faith
The voice of the saint resounded rashly in the advancing procession, which surprised No. 4 and Song Qingxiao.
The two immediately realized that the conversation was exposed, but then felt that it was unlikely.
The two of them communicate with their divine senses, and they have both reached the state of distraction, and if they want to spy on their conversations, their divine consciousness may have to be above them.
Although the Holy Maiden's healing skills are miraculous, Number Four does not think that she already has the divine consciousness cultivation above the distraction.
When I thought about it, I heard the holy woman say:
"Although the division of the team is indeed determined according to different followers, it may not be followed by such rules among 'newcomers'."
She really listened to the conversation between Song Qingxiao and No. 4 into her ears, and said softly:
"We don't have the bad habit of abandoning our teammates, whether it's the believers of the Divine Court or you, don't worry."
Speaking of this, she paused in her tone, as if she had left a moment to ease the impact for the two of them:
"If the Federation has other tasks for you and needs your cooperation, as long as it is okay to deal with major matters, we will not hinder you." She turned her head, glanced at the blue-and-white number four, and smiled slightly:
"Of course, if you're willing to talk, I'd love to hear it. If there's anything you need my help with, don't be polite. β
"......" No. 4's expression is indescribable, and he mixes various emotions such as shock and incredulity to form a very strange expression.
Song Qingxiao also encountered such a situation for the first time, but after 'seeing a lot of knowledge' during the trial, she developed an excellent psychological quality.
Although the conversation was spied on by the Holy Maiden, she didn't say much, but it was the Fourth who was eager to cooperate with her and revealed too much information, which was afraid that it would attract more attention from the Holy Maiden.
After thinking like this, Song Qingxiao's expression quickly returned to calm.
But experiencing such a small episode sounded a wake-up call for her.
The communication of divine consciousness is not necessarily absolutely secret, and if you have some kind of secret art or a more powerful divine sense, it is very likely that you can snoop on her words and take control of the opportunity.
"Different followers?" After Song Qing settled down in the town, he quickly followed the words of the saint and asked: "Do you refer to the two sages of 'day' and 'moon'?" β
No. 4 raised one side of his eyebrows and glanced at Song Qingxiao with an unbelievable look.
The private communication between the two was heard clearly by the saint, and it was also broken in front of the saint, but she not only didn't care, but she could still ask questions according to the saint's words.
She stared at the saint with a slight tilt of her face, her expression calm, without the slightest hint of embarrassment, waiting for the saint to answer her question.
"Hmm." On the contrary, the holy woman who took the initiative to interrupt the communication between the two of them seemed a little uncomfortable, and in the darkness, her green eyes showed a kind of embarrassment and apprehension after peeking into other people's privacy, and she almost didn't dare to look at Song Qingxiao's eyes, as if she was the one who did something empty-hearted.
A thought came to Four's mind: Could it be that after the incident, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is someone else who is embarrassed?
The saint raised her hand and stroked the strands of hair that fell on the side of her cheek, pinching it behind her ear to hide her emotions:
"Actually, as Twilight said, we and the team of Hayas and others represent different wills." Her words proved that all the words between No. 4 and Song Qing before were heard by her, and No. 4's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Perhaps it was a serious question, but the embarrassment of the saint Maiden after eavesdropping on the conversation gradually dissipated, and her tone became a little softer:
"This is because, our followers are different, and the will to inherit is also diametrically opposed."
She explains:
"I, Rodnor, Edward, Fino, Raphael, and Arthur inherited the will of the sage of the 'sun', symbolizing light and inheriting hope."
The six people, including Hayas and Samuel, belong to the inheritance of the sage of the 'moon', representing the will of the 'moon', symbolizing darkness and shadows, and being the owners of the power of darkness.
"Since the 'Moon' sages betrayed the Federation more than 300 years ago, they have lost their faith and followers, so some have lost their way and are not as united as we are."
When the saint said the back, her tone was a little vague, inadvertently revealing some thought-provoking information.
Song Qingxiao's mind turned, if the Federation was regarded as a whole, and the existence of the 'Day' and 'Moon' sages was divided into two different factions, then the faction of the 'Day' sages seemed to be quite complete at the moment.
The betrayal of the 'Moon' Sage has made the Sun Worship Divine Court now only the 'Sun' Sage alone in the overall situation, because of the existence of this great sage, the six saints, mainly monks, still have leaders, so it means that their faith has not collapsed.
It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the six saints seems to be much closer than that of the 'dark' faction, Crowley and others, and they cooperate with each other and trust each other.
On the contrary, the 'dark' faction lost its faith, and the six saints fell apart and went their separate ways.
She remembered what the Holy Maiden had said on the train that the ascetic sect founded by Hayas had been in business for more than three hundred years and had countless followers on the mainland.
"Could it be that Hayas founded the ascetic sect in order to recreate a lineage of faith?"
This thought came out of Song Qingxiao's mind, and she asked aloud.
The saint looked surprised.
She may have lived for many years, but her personality is not treacherous, but seems to be extremely simple.
When Song Qingxiao's words came out, she seemed to be trying her best to be calm, but there was still surprise from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she couldn't suppress it at all.
"Yes." She sighed vaguely, her expression a little annoyed, probably frustrated that she couldn't lie:
"It's no secret."
She seemed to explain what she admitted, "I didn't expect you to remember this." β
After saying this, she quickly adjusted her expression:
"It's just that he can't carry such a heavy responsibility, and Samuel and they are not his followers."
When Song Qingxiao heard this, her heart moved:
"So he's a failure?"
"Yes." The saint nodded in response.
"Was what happened to him on the train because of the effects of the failure?" Song Qingxiao then asked.
"βYes." When the saint replied this time, her tone was a little hesitant. classic
She doesn't seem to be good at lying, which may be due to her nature, practice, or religious beliefs, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that she lied.
Perhaps this unnatural look she showed was also a deliberate attempt by her to confuse the trialists.
It's just that this possibility is quite low in Song Qingxiao's opinion, but she doesn't fully trust the saint, which is an intuition.
She always felt that the Holy Maiden and the 'Light' family still had some key secrets, and the Holy Maiden's answers were just some irrelevant questions.
As she said, these words may not be a real secret.
"It seems that in order to become the faith itself, it does require extraordinary strength."
"Yes." Song Qingxiao's words didn't sound like they had touched a taboo at first, but when the saint replied to this, her tone seemed to be lighter.
"I think Hayas's condition is very serious, why does it make him so miserable to become the sustenance of the ascetic spirit?"
No one likes suffering, even if they practice with it anymore, but when it reaches a critical point, it will collapse.
It was clear that Hayas's power was out of control, and he himself had no control over the strange blood in his body.
When he was on the train, he could not be awakened unless the monk intervened and awakened his will.
She turned the subject back to Hayas, and looked at the saint again:
"You have the Holy Light Healing Technique, which can heal serious injuries and rejuvenate your hands, so why can't you treat him and relieve him of these pains?"
"It's useless." The saint shook her head, "Our beliefs are different, 'sun' and 'moon' are an alternation and reincarnation, and 'light' and 'darkness' are born opposites. β
Her words were interesting, but the saint didn't give Song Qing time to ponder:
"What's more, once faith is established, it can't be erased at all."
"What if you forcibly erase it?" Song Qingxiao asked casually.
"Impossible." The saint laughed as if she had heard a very funny laugh.
But her gaze was opposite to Song Qingxiao's eyes in the dark, and in the darkness, the girl's gaze shone brightly, like two deep ancient wells, with a chill down her spine.
She reacted in hindsight that Song Qingxiao was not joking with her, but really asking this question.
"If faith disappears, then naturally the system of establishment will collapse and disappear."
"The power of followers comes from faith, and if faith is defeated, it will overturn their previous perceptions and lose the center of their power," she explains. β
The saint shook her head:
But the believers have a very strong mind, and they are very determined to follow the adherents. For more than 300 years, the ascetic sect has grown very strongly, and this belief has formed a good inheritance that will not disappear......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Song Qingxiao's smiling expression.
"Sai Ji." The monk's soft and powerful voice sounded, awakening the stunned saint.
Her body shuddered heavily, and she finally came back to her senses, realizing that her words were contradictory.
The saint said that faith is the source of the saint's strength and can never disappear, but in fact, this is particularly ironic at this time.
This is the Misty Forest soaked in dark power, and the 'Moon' Sage of the year betrayed the Federation and the Divine Court, and was sealed in the abyss territory on the side of the Misty Forest.
She said not long ago that the 'dark' faction, led by Hayas and the other six, had lost their way because they had lost their 'faith' and had ceased to be united.
"Oh my God." The saint covered her face with her hands, and for a moment she was both annoyed and unbelievable that she had unknowingly said so many things.
She is caught in a paradoxical tangle in which the teachings of the Holy See teach her that she needs to be pure in heart and that she should not deceive the world.
But Song Qingxiao has too many questions, and he will touch some important secrets.
Song Qingxiao felt the depression of the saint at this time, and the atmosphere fell silent, but Song Qingxiao didn't care at this time.
The silence of the Holy Maiden allowed her to concentrate on using some of the information she had learned so far to analyze the clues that might be useful to the mission.
She used the example of Hayas to set up a story, and from the mouth of the saint she did something amazing.
If the power of this world comes from faith, that is to say, the two sages of 'Sun' and 'Moon' are the centers of the two major faiths of the Federation Continent, with saints and countless followers respectively.
They are the source of the power of the saints, their followers, and as long as they are stable, then the power of the saints is stable.
On the contrary, once the faith is shaken, it is a great event for the saints and followers, and it is very likely that their inheritance, cognition, and most important source of power will disappear due to the collapse of the faith.
She remembered the look on the face of the monk on the train when he mentioned the Great Prophecy, and the Dark faction's Crowley gloated when he mentioned the failure of the Great Prophecy.
Crowley said that once the 'Great Prophecy Technique' failed, it also meant that the power of the 'Sun' Sage also had problems.
The existence of the 'Sun' Sage symbolizes the belief of the 'Light' faction itself, and if there is a problem with his strength, I am afraid that the strength of the six 'Light' followers who follow him will also be greatly reduced.
'Light' and 'Darkness' formed factions with each other, and after the 'Moon' Sage betrayed the Divine Court, the 'Darkness' faction fell apart, and the strength of the two teams of saints who were originally equal in strength may also have deviated.
In this case, the 'dark' faction led by Crowley is probably happy to see the 'Great Prophecy' fail.
She also remembered the 'Sun' Sage who had not yet appeared, and 317 years ago, the 'Light' faith led the Thirteen Saints to personally seal the Moon Sage, and was unable to kill him completely.
So after 317 years, why did this sage no longer participate in the sealing of the 'moon' sage?
It would take a year for the Moon Sage in the Great Prophecy to reawaken and seal again, but judging by the speed at which the dark aura spread in the Misty Forest, the Moon Sage's will was much stronger than in the Great Prophecy.
In other words, whether the people of the 'Light' faction admit it or not, after the power of darkness gets out of control, it is actually faintly implied that the 'Great Prophecy Technique' has the possibility of prophecy failure.
Does this prove that in fact, the 'Sun' Sage is not unwilling to show up to seal the 'Moon' Sage, but because his strength may have already gone wrong, so he can't help it?
The reason why the 'Bright' faction is anxious to seal the 'Moon' Sage again is most likely to try their best to realize the 'Great Prophecy' and maintain their own faith inheritance.
In this way, it is understandable that the six saints of the 'Light' series were eager to seal the thoughts and firm will of the 'Moon' sages.
So what about the reasons for the 'dark' faction?
