0030 The Road to the Sanctuary V
Cen Mu continued: "On my way here, I met a father and daughter, who worked tirelessly, despite the dangers, and did not hesitate to travel long distances from the core of the diocese to the edge of the diocese. What's the plan? He said that he could not get along in the diocese, he was exploited and suppressed by the priests in the town, he was poor, bullied, beaten and beaten, and had nowhere to seek justice, so he had to choose to leave his homeland.
Moreover, I think he has reservations about what I said, obviously there are some more excessive things that he does not dare to say, he can only endure, and these things are the real reason for his departure, I think, this is a microcosm of the people at the bottom of the diocese, his experience is very representative, what do you think of this? ”
Teresa mused, "This should be a one-sided phenomenon! A few low-character priests have ruined the prestige of the Holy Church! ”
Cen Mu said with a smile: "That's why I asked you if you have ever been to an ordinary town, which is the basic unit that forms the foundation of the Holy Sect, and without investigation, you have no right to speak!" Don't you think you're deceiving yourself by explaining that?! ”
Teresa bowed slightly, and said: "The church has discovered this problem, and is brewing a campaign to eliminate corruption and purify the faith, and I believe that it will give an explanation to the people in the near future." ”
Awesome!
Cen Mu sighed secretly in his heart, and sure enough, he had come up with some valuable information.
Cen Mu commented: "I am not optimistic about this so-called purification movement, corruption is born from the root, have you ever considered where the root cause problem is? ”
Hearing this, Teresa was amazed, and couldn't help but become more interested in the mercenary, and asked, "Then where did you say it?" ”
"It's the system! The system of theocracy! The Church has given too much power to the divine right, the divine right is above everything, the law of the kingdom has become an ornament, the people are dominated by fanatical and single-minded religious feelings, they have lost their rational judgment, and the cardinals, who have long been in high positions, have swelled up and raised themselves to a level that surpasses all races. ”
Teresa looked stunned and said, "Who are you?" You're not a mercenary! Mercenaries don't have such thinking! ”
Cen Mu spread out his hand, pursed his lips and smiled: "I am a special mercenary!" I think more and see the problem more thoroughly. ”
Teresa shook her head, incredulous.
No matter what his identity is, it is very rare to be able to maintain such a concept on the soil of the Holy Religion, this is a very special man! At least Teresa had never seen it, although his views were different from those of his teacher, but they had some common qualities: self-confidence, clear thinking, and methodical, their understanding of the world and the nature of the Holy Religion was almost close to the truth, so this is a man who has seen through everything, and he is so young, it is incredible!
Thinking of this, Teresa couldn't help but feel an appreciation for Cen Mu, although because of these concepts, they were very likely to become opponents in the future, and what made Teresa even more confused was why he would tell him these things?!
Teresa was surprised: "If you talk to the high-ranking disciples of the Holy Sect about these things, you are not afraid that I will report you?!" ”
Cen Mu smiled: "There are so many enemies in the Holy Sect, do you still care about me?" What would you do if you hurt others and yourself?! ”
Teresa said solemnly: "If you don't want me to report you, just be honest with me, I didn't hear everything you said today, you better not tell others casually, this is the most serious heresy, known by the Inquisition, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, they will kill you!" Remember! Remember!! ”
Cen Mu smiled: "Don't you know that violent suppression is the most ignorant and ineffective means of control?!" The most difficult thing in the world to control is the mind! If you have such an awareness, why do you still want to throw yourself into the arms of the Holy Religion? Sleeping with the enemy? ”
Teresa looked at him deeply and didn't answer.
Cen Mu continued: "It seems that the Holy Sect leaders have been aware of these phenomena, but it's a pity that they can't find a solution, because not everyone has the courage and wisdom to use the knife against themselves!" ”
Teresa remained silent, apparently determined not to discuss the subject with him again.
The two continued to walk along the mountain road, walking a few kilometers, Cen Mu noticed a strange atmosphere, it was too quiet along the way, there was no trace of road bandits, and even the birds and beasts in the forest were dormant.
Cen Mu walked up to her, half-squatted down, and said, "Come!" Get on my back! ”
Teresa was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It doesn't feel right, you have to speed up!"
Teresa blushed, was hesitating, was urged by Cen Mu, leaned forward, supported his elbows on his back, separated the two by a distance, and then, only felt that the two legs were erected, the whole person rose into the air, the thighs were opened, and they were fixed around the waist by two arms like iron hoops.
The gesture made her feel so embarrassed, and she had never faced such a dilemma since she had grown up, so much so that a bunch of nonsense thoughts popped up in her head: Did he do it on purpose? Is he a mercenary or not? Could it be that he is a person from other sanctuary realms, whose purpose is to approach him by any means necessary? Take her to other sanctuaries?
Wrong!
This thought was quickly ruled out, it is impossible for the people of the Sanctuary to hold heretical thoughts, this does not conform to objective laws, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is a heretical thought, it is impossible for him to disguise himself in the Sanctuary City, Teresa firmly believes this.
Then, she felt Cen Mu speeding up, a powerful heart beating, and a strong and powerful vibration could be felt on his back, he took a step, steady and powerful, the speed doubled, but there was no bigger bumps, his breath was steady, his complexion was as usual, the rugged mountain road was so tame under his feet, looking at the rapidly retreating woods on both sides, Teresa suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Doesn't it seem like a good idea to run all the way like this?
Gradually, Teresa actually felt a trace of sleepiness, she couldn't help laughing at herself, in such a fierce environment, she could still sleep, what a pig! Thinking about it, the strong sleepiness hit my heart, and I can't care so much.
……
Teresa had a strange dream, dreaming that in the Sanctuary City, she received a grand reception from the Pope, which was so high that it could be described as unprecedented, which made her flattered, feeling the envious eyes of countless young and promising archbishops, feeling the friendly attitude of several distinguished cardinals, consciously raising her eyebrows and high spirits.
However, when she mustered up the courage to look up at the venerable Pope, she froze, for she realized that the Pope was the mercenary, and that he was smiling at her.
What an absurd dream!
Teresa woke up, opened her eyes, it was dark all around, she felt a hint of warmth, turned sideways, and saw a pile of burning campfires, it felt warm.
Teresa turned her head and saw the familiar smiling face reflected in the firelight, exactly the same as the Pope's smiling face in her dreams.
Teresa's heart trembled, she pinned her face to the dark, to hide her panicked heart, to her level, almost no dreams, since she awakened the ability of the spiritual realm, almost nothing like this has happened, and this is one of the costs of developing the brain domain.
When she grew up, her teacher told her that because the direction of her study was "prayer", if there was a dream, then it might be a kind of prediction of the future, and she had two dreams over the years, and these dreams were undoubtedly faintly verified, so what about this absurd dream today?!
"We're running for our lives, and you can fall asleep, I'm really convinced! Aren't you afraid that I'll do something bad to you? Cen Mu said with a smile.
Teresa stroked the green silk on her cheeks, sat up, and asked abruptly, "What about the pursuers?" ”
"Probably thirty kilometers away!"
Teresa frowned and said, "This distance doesn't seem to be very far, aren't you afraid that they will come in the dark?" ”
Cen Muman didn't care and said: "I carried you all the way, four hours, ran more than 110 kilometers, they followed all the way, and now I can still stand up, I will obey them." ”
"Ahh Ran so far?! Teresa covered her mouth and exclaimed, then looked at him suspiciously and said, "Really?!" Can you carry a person on your back and run so fast and so far? Is the physical strength so good? ”
Cen Mu said proudly: "Speaking of this, it is indeed one of my few advantages, and Widow Zhang in our town likes me for this advantage." ”
Teresa covered her mouth and smiled, and snorted, "You man! ”
Cen Mu took a bunch of meat from the bonfire, handed it over, and said, "After I stopped, you slept for another half hour, just to be safe, we can rest for thirty minutes, and after thirty minutes, we will set off." ”
Teresa was surprised, "What are you doing?" Don't you have a night off? ”
"Rest, but I can extend my advantage a little more, because I suspect that tomorrow I will be able to compete with four wheels."
Teresa nodded silently and said to him, "You can't eat that much, you cut off half more." ”
"I've considered your appetite, it's very little! Don't you like this barbecue meat? The Church of the Holy Edge should not ban eating meat, right? ”
Teresa smiled and said, "It's very fragrant, your craftsmanship is good!" But as servants of the Lord, we must exercise restraint and not indulge our desires, which are one of them. ”
"That's boring!" Cen Mu snorted lightly, and then said, "But then again, you have indeed improved my impression of the Holy Blade Church a little, and there are still some good people in the Holy Sect. ”
Teresa said, "I believe that the Holy Religion is good, but it is only used by some wicked people.
Though sinners do evil a hundred times, they live a long life. But I know for sure that he who fears God before him will be blessed in the end. ”
Cen Mu smiled and said, "That's because you have integrity, if the cardinal level of the Holy Sect thinks differently, what is the use?!" ”
Theresa didn't hesitate to say, "Then go and change them all!" ”
Cen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, unable to bear to puncture this beautiful will.
