Chapter 53: The Greeting Ceremony
"Gross!" Zhang Xiaofan vomited everything in his stomach and couldn't stop retching.
A few hours ago, Zhang Xiaofan was still in Huaxia, and a few hours later, he was already on the roof of a building in the E96 block of Park Avenue in New York City, USA, which was an ancient Western teleportation formation that moved quickly in the six-dimensional space.
"Xiaofan, are you okay?" Chen Yating asked with concern.
Mo Daozi took away the hairpin that affected Chen Yating's sanity, and explained everything to Chen Yating, the two masters and apprentices released their suspicions, and Chen Yating agreed to go to the United States to help the teacher, anyway, Zhang Xiaofan also went to the United States with him, and he went the same wherever he went.
Chen Yating didn't mind Zhang Xiaofan's appearance as a girl, after all, Zhang Xiaofan didn't mind that he had no facial features before.
"John! Didn't you say it's comfortable? Zhang Xiaofan was a little weak, holding on to the fence on the roof of the building, barely standing up, and the feeling of weightlessness for a long time made his ears buzz and he looked at things a little erratically.
John was originally a ghost, and weightlessness was a normal feeling for him, but he flickered: "You are not used to it, and it is very comfortable when you get used to it." Oh! By the way, your new identity, I'll help you get it later, is there anything you need to add? ”
Zhang Xiaofan has also experienced the feeling of a soul body, and he has been fluttering lightly for almost ten hours, and he still has palpitations, which has no way to be comfortable at all, so he can only be forced to accept it, thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan hugged Chen Yating's thin waist tightly.
Zhang Tielin pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "His gender must be male." ”
The United States is a country where cultivators rely on magic weapons, no matter how high their cultivation is, they are afraid of stuffy guns, and together with their masters, Zhang Xiaofan can feel at ease. Zhang Tielin also happily agreed, in different countries, see different scenery, appreciate the charm of 'Tao', and experience different people and things, in order to sublimate what he has learned all his life, why not?
The fact that he came to the United States was hidden from Mo Daozi, otherwise Mo Daozi would obstruct it, and it would be troublesome, after all, Zhang Tielin patted Mo Daozi and vomited blood, and people with a little backbone will get the field back, right?
"Male? Person. Goblin? John looked at Zhang Xiaofan and Chen Yating hugging each other, originally thought it was Lala, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaofan to be a man. However, Zhang Xiaofan has a chest and a buttocks, and a man will have a nosebleed after watching it for a long time, which made John a little unacceptable for a while. However, the United States is an open country, and these things are not surprising.
"You're talented. Demon, I've been invaded by the Underworld, and I'll probably be back to my original state tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll take your information in Huaxia and enter it into the American government, and I'll give you your ID card and other information tomorrow." After all, when chasing evil ghosts, if you push too quickly, the evil ghosts will burrow into other people's bodies, so he still knows such sequelae: "Let's go, I'll take you two to join." ”
"What kind of job? I'm here to protect Yating! Zhang Xiaofan thought that he was here for a vacation, and the money he earned some time ago was not removed for John's ID card and entered into the American government. The false history of the house, there are still more than 200,000 left, and the previous store was also handed over to the intermediary for rental and transfer, if the transfer is rented out, there will be 30,000 yuan in the account every month, although the money is not particularly much, but in the United States, he and the master can also have no worries about food and clothing.
"You have a status in the United States, you don't have a proper job, and it's easy for you to be nationalized. Quiet. If the bureau investigates, if it finds me, it will be troublesome. "Help people to the end, and if you collect the money, you have to do enough tricks, if you are a country with many capable people. Quiet. The bureau found out that he was implicated, and it is estimated that he will have to be removed from his post and obediently go to hell (every ghost management bureau has a hell for imprisoning evil ghosts, and the American ghost management bureau does not have an eighteen-story tower, but they have their own interrogation room, and the means inside are more gentle than the eighteen-story tower, but if the American ghost police are unhappy, they will kill evil ghosts at will.) )
"You're not going to lie to me, are you?" Zhang Xiaofan has watched movies for so many years and knows the country of the United States. Quiet. The bureau is very wide, I didn't expect them to be able to manage even ghosts, and they are also gods.
As mentioned above, ghosts will give inspiration to humans, and the other side of the world that ordinary humans can't touch can be shown to the world through the recompilation of 'inspiration', perhaps, this is also a balance of world rules.
John didn't answer Zhang Xiaofan's question, and led them downstairs, there was a church across the street, and the closer John took them to the church, the stranger Zhang Xiaofan's expression became.
Different religions, different beliefs, and it feels a little strange to enter someone else's dojo.
Zhang Xiaofan glanced up at the name of the church and teased: "St. John's Church? Did you drive it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, St. John's Church is named after the patron saint of the Knights of St. John, and I'm just the same name, John." John knew that Zhang Xiaofan was joking, but he was still nervous, after he died, he found that he had become a soul, which also affirmed the existence of gods in the world, he was a devout Catholic during his lifetime, and it was not good to joke about some legendary characters and gods.
The main building of the church is all made of stone, the highest point of the main hall is 177 feet, the inner vault is 124 feet high (equivalent to the height of 12 houses), 146 feet wide, and there are 53 large round stone columns arranged in four rows on both sides of the main hall, which divides the main hall into 14 districts, including the historical area, the bishop's quarter, the lawyer's quarter, the education district, the evangelistic district, the art district, the publishing area, the medical area, the church living area, and so on. Each district has its own dedication to the saints associated with it. On the walls of the main hall are several large tapestries related to biblical stories, by the hands of famous artists. The windows are 12 feet in diameter and have 10,000 pieces of glass embedded in them, and they vary in style and pattern. The central atrium is dome-shaped, with an intricately carved marble pulpit, a life-size statue of Jesus erected in the center of the main building, and an intricately carved marble baptismal font in the adjoining chakratory.
John took Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Tielin, and Chen Yating through the bishopric and went deep into the church, and when they arrived at a small house in the church's living quarters, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." A rich British accent came out of it.
When the door was opened, everyone saw that the room was empty, except for a bed, a table, a chair, and a Bible on the table.
The English-speaking master, dressed in priesthood robes, on crutches, hunched over, facing them, with loose skin and wrinkles, with aged glasses, and eyelids obscuring most of his eyes, as if he were dying at any moment, said, "John, are these two men?" ”
"Father Louis, this is Zhang Xiaofan and Zhang Tielin, I bother you to arrange it." John pushed Zhang Xiaofan and Zhang Tielin forward, and said: "This Zhang Xiaofan is a man, but he was contaminated by the evil breath and became like this, and he will be fine tomorrow." ”
Father Louis yawned, clicked his lips, and adjusted his dentures: "I said John, I'm short of manpower here, but I want a priest, and it's hard for me to stuff two people in casually." You also know that I still have a lot of debt here, and if it were two new hands, I would rather not ask for it, and still have some money left. ”
"Whoever wants to be what you church pastor said I feel like begging to do." Zhang Xiaofan rolled his eyes and complained inwardly.
Zhang Tielin doesn't care, so many years of pure practice, he has already developed a calm mentality, if he hadn't accepted Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple who loves to toss, it is estimated that after he left Shuchuan, he began to travel around the world, and now he can go abroad, it should be a good life, right?
"Don't underestimate them, they are practitioners in the East, and they can memorize the Bible backwards at a glance, and there will be no major problems." John helped Father Louis and put him in a chair, lest he fall down after standing for a long time, and the accusations would be placed on him.
Father Louis raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at John: "Okay, sell your face, see how they behave, you can stay, you can't leave." ”
Before Father Louis's hand was lowered, John nodded his finger with his index finger and agreed to Father Louis's request;
John turned his head to Zhang Xiaofan and Zhang Tielin and said, "You two will stay here, listen to Father Louis's arrangement, I will take Chen Yating to the 'underworld' to report, and it won't take long to come back." ”
"Yating, remember to contact me if you have something." Zhang Xiaofan and Chen Yating are reluctant, but in fact, they can meet again after an hour or two, after all, the American Ghost Administration is relatively lax, as long as you protect the neighborhood where you are located, it will not care too much about you at other times.
After Chen Yating left, Father Louis summoned two nuns to take Zhang Xiaofan and Zhang Tielin to the place where they were going to live in the future.
"Are you a new nun?" The nun who took Zhang Xiaofan away turned around and spoke.
"I should be a pastor, right" Zhang Xiaofan has been smart since he was a child, and his English is more authentic than Lao Mei, and those who don't know think that he grew up in the United States since he was a child, this opening has amazed the nun.
The nun stretched out her white right hand and said, "My name is Rukia, and I am glad to meet you." ”
"Fortunately, fortunately, you can call me Fan." Aren't all nuns ritualistic, how can they shake hands? Although he was puzzled, Zhang Xiaofan still reached out and held the nun's hand.
As soon as she held it, a pain from the huge force came from her right hand, and the nun pulled her hand, and the dagger hidden in her left hand was sent forward, stabbing Zhang Xiaofan in the abdomen.
The nun leaned on Zhang Xiaofan's ear and said softly: "The king of Jizo asked me to say a word to you: no matter how far you run, you are under my control!" ”
Control? What is he going to do, I'm not a very powerful character, why is he sick for me! As soon as I came to New York, the power of King Jizo gave me such a meeting gift, which was really unpleasant
Zhang Xiaofan watched a soul emerge from 'Rukia's body, and then quickly fled, 'Rukia' fainted to the ground, Zhang Xiaofan covered his abdomen and shouted: "Someone! Help give 102 a call! (Huaxia emergency number 120, American emergency number 102)"
Not long after, ambulances came, four of them.
"Eh, master, so coincidentally, you were also stabbed?" Before being carried into the ambulance, Zhang Xiaofan saw Zhang Tielin, who was also being carried, and he waved his hand.
Zhang Tielin actually wouldn't die if he was stabbed, but those medical staff saw Zhang Tielin with a dagger stuck in his back and also carried him onto a stretcher.
He is now lying on his stomach, and when he saw Zhang Xiaofan greeting him, his old face turned red and he buried his head: "I thought I could appreciate the openness of foreign beauties and get rid of the two-hundred-year-old bachelors, but I was negligent for a while."
"There is a knife on the head of the color character, I didn't expect you to be such a master" Zhang Xiaofan looked up to the sky and shouted, and the two were carried into the ambulance separately.
