Chapter 12: Dreams, Awakening
Chu Yuan had a long and absurd dream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dream, he travels back to medieval Britain in Europe and places himself in a church.
He wasn't there, but he was there. From the perspective of an immersive spectator who seems to be floating in the air.
He "saw" in the church a bishop dressed as a bishop, or a friar, speaking in a very provocative tone.
This is God's punishment! Darkness has spread across the continent, and demons are raging! And what can we do as God's people? The only thing we can do is to pray for God's salvation in our humble and devout faith, and in order to be able to embody such piety and loyalty, we will send our holiest Templar crusades to the land of darkness and demons to purge and encircle the demonic minions! ”
After the speech was finished, those devout believers also immediately cheered, Chu Yuan saw that the priest took out a box, and those believers, while drawing crosses on their chests, lined up, and threw gold and silver coins, even copper coins, and paper money into the box.
A beautiful girl's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Father, I will surely bring the light of the Lord to that dark place to save the people who are suffering from demonic persecution."
…… What a lofty declaration.
Chu Yuan turned around and saw that on the side of the church, a young girl in a white nun's dress was saying this to the bishop with a pious and holy expression.
Chu Yuan frowned...... I feel that this girl, eyebrows and facial features, seems to be a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.
It's weird...... Could it be some famous former historical figure?
Chu Yuan thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of that famous historical woman.
The dream was still advancing, and the nun, who made Chu Yuan feel a little familiar, joined the monk group and set off with the Templar Crusaders.
It wasn't until he crossed the English Channel, coupled with other people's conversations, as well as the comparison of buildings and costumes, that Chu Yuan confirmed that this should be Europe in the 14th century, and the so-called dark invasion that swept the whole of Europe should have been during this period, ravaging the whole of Europe, so that the European population directly lost at least one-third of the Black Death.
If the information I read is correct, in the Black Death that swept across the continent of Europa, countless monks and priests also died, and perhaps this nun will also suffer such a fate.
But this is not something that can be controlled by oneself, and the Black Death even brought the century-old Anglo-French war to a halt. Moreover, I am just a spectator, and I can't do anything, I can't talk or be seen.
Even Chu Yuan was surprised by this, in ordinary dreams, he may be able to wakely realize that this is a dream, and even sometimes be able to affect the dream, but he is not clear enough to feel that he is actually waking up, just watching a dream or a movie in an immersive way, and this is still his dream.
The Templar crusaders entered the continent of Europa from Great Britain, and in Chu Yuan's opinion, in the face of a plague, such an army would be of no help at all, but it seems that the British crusaders did not think so, and after a short stay in France, they quickly followed the border towards southern and eastern Europe.
At that time, although the war between Britain and France was suspended, the two sides were still in a state of hostility, so such a move was not surprising, but from the words of the soldiers, Chu Yuan knew that it seemed that this time, France did not send a crusade, and it seemed that there were differences on the side of the Roman (Vatican) Holy See.
The disagreement is mainly divided into two factions, some people believe that this is the invisible devil wreaking havoc, except to pray to God, the human army can play any role, while the other side believes that this darkness and plague are only ancillary, the real demons, in fact, hidden behind the panic and death, secretly expanding and extending, and these demons are physical and can be destroyed.
The Church of England was a supporter of the latter statement, and so they unswervingly sent crusaders and monastic orders to bypass the French border and go south of Europe.
Italy was their first stop.
There, the nun, who was called Lorina, met a man from the East who called himself Chang Hao in a small town.
Chang Hao...... It was a Chinese name, Chu Yuan knew it as soon as he heard it, not to mention the obvious black hair and black eyes.
In Europe, black hair and black eyes are regarded as heretical, but Chang Hao has been tried and baptized by the Vatican Holy See, so he naturally passed the test of whether the crusader monastic gang is heretical.
Well, seeing this, Chu Yuan suddenly had a familiar feeling of soap opera, and the next thing seemed to be indeed developing in such a direction.
Luo Lina and Chang Hao are in love.
Naturally, this is the so-called forbidden love, everything is going on secretly, but the tryst between the two did not last long, and Lorena had to go to Eastern Europe with the crusaders.
When the crusaders arrived in Eastern Europe, Chu Yuan always felt as if he was missing something, and he was a little concerned about this man. In the mid-14th century, although there were many people from Europe who traveled to China, there were very few people who traveled from China to Europe, not to mention that Chang Hao was fluent in English, French and Italian, and he was polite in conversation, not like an exiled or exiled Chinese exile.
But what exactly was missing, Chu Yuan couldn't grasp it, and even in his dream, when he began to recall Chang Hao's face, it began to become more and more blurry.
Moreover, Chu Yuan seemed to be able to feel that he seemed to be about to wake up.
Such a clear understanding made Chu Yuan a little reluctant, it would be good to wake up later, at least let himself recall what he had forgotten.
But it was also because of such thoughts that in Chu Yuan's mind, his memory began to wake up, and then he suddenly found out.
I should have died!
!!!
This realization made Chu Yuan open his eyes suddenly.
What greeted you was a white ceiling.
Fortunately, he didn't die.
That's the first thought.
Where am I?
This is the second thought.
Wrong! How could I still be alive!
This is the third thought.
It was absurd, for he was still alive, but it was this third thought that was the most real and questionable of all—for he was first knocked unconscious, then suspended, and then strangely pierced through his arms and finally through his heart by the strange man.
In this way, it can be saved, and there is no reason.
Chu Yuan laughed at himself like this, but there was no way to get an answer now, so he went back to the second thought and question.
Where am I?
