Chapter 0418: Believers
When we came down, the road had been sealed by a hanging stone gate, and it was certainly impossible to go back the way we came, and at the moment, the only place we could go was the iron gate due southeast.
I guess that after passing through the iron gate, the final point must be the sleeping palace of the main master, that is, the place where the Holy Maiden of Sima is.
The fat man has not heard from them so far, and if nothing else, he should be with the Holy Maiden of Sima.
Speaking of which, we're going to have to bump into the Lady of Sima in the end!
The old madman rested for a while, was in good spirits, walked quickly, and passed through the iron gate in the first place, and disappeared into the darkness.
Tsing Yi and I didn't delay, and followed.
Behind the iron gate, there is a corridor 100 meters long, and at the end of the corridor is a corridor, and the steps in the corridor continue to spread upward, and I don't know where it leads.
When we really came in, we found that both sides of this corridor were full of murals, but because it was too long, and this was underground, the murals were not very well preserved, and the oxidation and carbonization were very serious, and many places were dark and large, and I couldn't see the specifics.
I took a look at the murals, and although I didn't see them all, I could see some doorways.
Not surprisingly, all the records on this mural are some religious content, that is, the process of preaching by the followers of the god Orion, the god of Orion, and there is a lot of bloody content in it, including the punishment for the treatment of the infidels, which looks shocking.
Looking at the content of these murals, I estimate that this will definitely not be seen when the Great Western Kingdom is still there, at least it will not be seen by outsiders, and it is all recorded in the form of oil paintings or murals in some shady places, only for some fanatical believers within the religion to admire! This model is somewhat similar to the religion of the Western Middle Ages, and now many churches left in the West have similar cloister structures underground, or basements, which contain top-secret religious archives, or oil paintings to record some shady missionary methods, such as the open and secret struggle between theocracy and imperial power, etc., these contents will only be shown to fanatical believers, in order to further brainwash!
After a cursory look at the frescoes, I gradually gained some understanding of the beliefs of the Atlanteans.
In the final analysis, the state religion of the Great Western Kingdom has many similarities with many Western religions, and it can be said that it is the same!
This is still a narrow religion, although they worship many gods, but they believe that Orion God is the only Allah in the world, it is Orion God who has given the Atlanteans life, wealth and rich life, and every god under the seat of Orion can be loved, but the degree of love cannot exceed the love of Orion, anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Orion God is deserved to be deprived of everything, including the monarch of the Great Western Kingdom!
They preach the benevolence of God Orion and preach peace, but only if you believe in God Orion to be worthy of peace and love, otherwise you are heretics and should be punished with death!
For example, these murals record such an incident, in the year 10004 of the Great Western Calendar, that is, about 10,000 years ago, there was a drunkard who urinated in front of the temple of Orion, and shouted that the person he loved the most was Venus, the goddess of love, because Venus was sexy, and he would be particularly impulsive. As a result, the words of this unfortunate man were heard by the fanatics of Orien, who branded him as a heretic and locked him up, and the next day he cut off his balls with a knife, castrated them, and hung them on the execution pillar in the square, where they were exposed to the sun for half a month and dried into corpses.
This is probably the state religion of the Great Western Kingdom, which is more stringent than the imperial rule, and once suppressed the imperial power of the Atlantean rulers!
A cursory glance at these murals made me guess why the Holy Daughter of the Great God Orien was played with the Seven Levels of Fire - when the divine power swelled to an extreme point to challenge the imperial power, then the royal family would not be polite, war was sooner or later, and the monarch who controlled the army could generally eat the arrogant and domineering gods steadily.
To put it bluntly, pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning, it's as simple as that!
After passing through this corridor, we got into the corridor, this corridor is different from the corridor where we came in when the seven levels were nailed, it was straight up, and we walked for about half an hour, we finally got out of this corridor, and arrived in a room similar to a study, but the things inside were almost rotten, the yin qi was very heavy, and the walls were full of beamless dust, obviously no one had come in for a long time, and all the things that lived here were dirty!
Needless to say, the place where we were now must be the temple of Orion, and as soon as we came up, we heard as if there was a chanting coming from outside, a very low chanting, as if someone was praying not far from us, there were men and women, the prayers were mixed together, but the tone was very reverent.
Tsing Yi listened for a while, and then lowered his voice and said to me and Lao Feng: "It seems to be the fat man's voice, how many of them are praying?" ”
Fat man prays?
The corners of my eyes twitched fiercely, I believe everyone who prays, but I don't believe the fat man!
This lord is completely a faithless hedonist, if he can calm down and be a believer, he used to tell me, these years since he touched the gold and fought a lot of lack of virtue, after giving birth to a child don't have no asshole, he begged grandpa to sue grandma, not pointing to the Buddha, Jesus and other gods to bless him, even if he did good deeds in the second half of his life, he still had to get off the oil pot after death, why bother? So it's better to dig a few more graves while you're young, and a few girls come in many days!
But Tsing Yi said this, it was not without purpose, I immediately walked to the door of the study, my ear was attached to the door and listened carefully, not to mention, as soon as the ear was attached to the door, the prayer became more and more clear, I listened to it for more than ten minutes, and my heart was more and more frightened!
Isn't there a fat man's voice in that prayer?
Not only the voice of the fat man, but also the voice of Zhang Jinya and Zhou Jing, and even the two female devils, Rosa and Lin Qing, were praying!
The most incomprehensible thing for me is that even Chen Yu is praying, and my whole person is confused - you are a bloody ghost corpse, and you appear to kill things, and you still pray for a fart? Those gods who have been blessed in the mortal world are your mortal enemies, and if there are any such things, they will have to kill you when they see you!!
As the saying goes, there must be a demon when this thing goes wrong, I wonder if a few of them are on the way? In short, it's getting weirder and weirder!
"It doesn't matter, just look at it and you'll know the depth."
The old madman said in a deep voice: "I really don't know what the hell this master is, other ghost things bewitch the living to inhale yang energy, but it's good, it actually makes people pray, is it possible that they are preaching when they die?" It's so hard to understand! ”
After saying that, the old madman came up and pulled me open, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Outside the study is a corridor, there are a lot of rooms, as soon as the fat man and their prayer voices come out, the voice of the fat man and the others becomes clearer and clearer, following the prayers of several of them, I am basically sure that the fat man and a few of them should be in the room at the end of the corridor.
Without much delay, the three of us rushed directly to the house, and when we reached the door, the weapon was already in our hands, and we were ready to fight, and the old madman flew up and kicked on the door, and only heard a "clang" sound, and the door was kicked open!
Suddenly, a burst of white light jumped into our eyes, and then I finally saw the layout of the room!
This is supposed to be a huge church, with a lot of tattered seats, which have long since rotted out of shape, and the walls around the church are inlaid with huge night pearls, and this white light is emitted by the night pearls, and under these lights, everything in the church can be seen clearly.
The fat man and they are indeed here, at this time they are worshipping the statue of Orien in the middle of the church, under the statue, a woman dressed in white with long golden hair is sitting cross-legged, under the soft halo emitted by the pearl of the night, she looks indescribably holy, and is calmly accepting the bow of the fat man and several of them......
