Di Ming didn't talk to Tuoba Chenghuang for a long time in the study, and after about a quarter of an hour, he stood up and said goodbye to Tuoba Chenghuang.
Diming, who goes out, doesn't need to be led by others, and he can go out by himself. He didn't have much interest in these pavilions, and now instead of being relieved to see Tuoba Chenghuang, his mood did become heavier.
Out of the gate, Di Ming smiled at the members of the guard, and even said to the captain, "Thank you." ”
Maybe it was this unintentional respect that made Di Ming gain the hope that he had already wiped out.
"Inspector, if you are not in a hurry to leave, can you wait for me at the church in the city tomorrow morning?" The voice of the captain of the guard remembered in Di Ming's mind.
"Yes, we'll see you tomorrow." Di Ming immediately replied, but his footsteps never stopped, and the expression on his face was not touched at all.
With a wave of one hand, he stepped out of the barrier. When the barrier was completely closed, the figure of Tuoba Chenghuang immediately appeared in the place where he had just left.
"Listen, if he comes again next time, you don't need to report it again, just bring him in. Besides, he kept his mouth tighter, and his father didn't want to hear something unfair and unwilling to hear from his mouth. ”
"Yes, according to the will of the city god." The captain of the guard and his members immediately knelt down on one knee and replied to Tuoba Chenghuang in unison.
"Good." With these words, his figure disappeared in front of their eyes again.
Coming to this world, Emperor Ming opened his senses. It took less than a while to find the exact location of the church that the captain of the guard had just said to himself. Emperor Ming found its exact location.
"The power of faith is small, but the quality is very high! This is the only church in the city. Di Ming said softly. He lifted his feet and walked over there.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this church is a building, a meeting place for believers. But in the hearts of believers, this is indeed the closest place to the Lord, where they can feel solace and complete spiritual relaxation.
However, in Diming's eyes, the church was shrouded in a holy light, and from the church emanated a power that could cleanse and purify people's hearts.
"Different paths to the same end! Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Western religion, it is all about persuading people to be good. Lead people to a place of light. I'll just rest here tonight! Anyway, it's close to dawn. ”
Emperor Ming did not reject Western teachings, although he did not believe in religion, but he has always had great respect for those who can persuade people to do good.
It is not to be underestimated that a religion that has a large number of believers and is recognized by the world, and it is even more remarkable that the founder of this kind of religion can be founded.
Emperor Ming used to worship and respect them. When I was a child, I even fantasized that I could grow up to be able to achieve as much as they did.
With memories and yearning, Di Ming sat cross-legged on the wooden chair in the garden in front of the church, and gradually settled down.
Early the next morning. The priest, who liked to wake up early, was doing his routine morning exercise in the garden, and when he saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a chair in the garden, he also walked over curiously.
Out of respect, he didn't wake up Di Ming immediately. Just stood patiently in front of Di Ming, waiting for this young man he had never met to wake up by himself.
In the past few days, because Di Ming has been in a state of high mental concentration, the use of divine consciousness has increased the burden on his body. Last night's meditation made Di Ming's body fall into a deep sleep all of a sudden.
When the first rays of sunlight hit Di Ming's body, he was affected by the purple qi coming from the east. Di Ming gradually woke up from his deep concentration, accompanied by his awakening. He also felt that there was a person standing in front of him, and this person's body was full of the power of faith.
Different from the aura contained by the cultivator on his side, the aura on his body was more inclined to cleansing, purifying and redeeming, and directly it was the divine light power, that is, the breath of the angels.
Di Ming's eyes opened, and he smiled at the priest in front of him and said, "The priest is really patient! We're waiting for you! ”
"You're welcome, I'm just curious, I feel a difference in you, you have very little impurities, and there are obvious differences between you and the non-Catholics who come to me."
"It seems that your priest is still a bit of a Taoist, unlike the others who are useless. You are busy first, and I will not bother you if I have something to do. ”
After Di Ming finished speaking, he stretched his back and jumped off the chair.
"Would you be interested in having breakfast with me, young man?" The priest asked casually, without any pretentiousness.
"Okay!" Di Ming did not refuse the priest's invitation, and in his body God clearly did not feel the breath of the world, but more of the breath of nature.
As they walked with the priest to his residence, they also asked each other for their names. The conversation with the priest was very relaxed, and they also took the initiative to avoid some key issues.
Breakfast was eaten in the room on the first floor behind the church, and it was made by the hands of the Father God, and it was simple but very rich. There was bread, eggs, cheese, bacon, milk and some melons.
Di Ming ate with relish, and did not regard himself as an outsider. The priest didn't say much, and the two men seemed to have known each other for a long time, talking and laughing and eating a pleasant breakfast.
As breakfast was about to end, Di Ming's divine sense sensed the Captain of the Guard walk in. He put down the cup in his hand and said to the priest, "Thank you for your hospitality, I think I have to go now, we will see you again if we are destined, it is a pleasure to talk to you, you are a good priest." ”
"You are also a good man, may the Lord bless you." As if he knew what Di Ming was going to do, the priest directly said the words of separation.
Di Ming waved at him, and then walked out of the room, and greeted the captain of the guard.
"Diming, we'll see you again." The priest looked at the direction of Di Ming's departure, drew a cross with his hand, and said.
"Humble Duty See Inspector Envoy." As soon as the captain of the guard saw Di Ming, he immediately saluted.
"Stop, this is the mortal world now, if you really kneel, then we don't want to attract attention." As he spoke, Di Ming released a stream of air that lifted the right knee of the captain of the guard, who was about to kneel.
"That's what I said, but the etiquette can't be wasted." The captain of the guard knew that Di Ming was doing this for his own good, but this etiquette was very important to himself, and he couldn't disobey it just because he was in the world.
"You have a heart, too, and have invited me here. What is your name? I can't keep you called! Di Ming's impression of him deepened again, and being able to take the initiative to ask the other party's name was a kind of respect for the other party.
"My name is Sedum, and only here can I avoid the ears and eyes of Lord Chenghuang, please don't be surprised."
"Don't worry! I'm not that old-fashioned. Sedum, tell me why you asked me to come here! I don't think you just want to get close to me! ”
"If I go back to my lordship, I have an important matter to report to my lord, this matter has been pressed in my heart for a long time, if I didn't think that my lord is a credible person, I would never take such a big risk and ask my lord to come here to meet."
"Do you really trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Tuoba Chenghuang about this? ”
"I trust you because you respect us and we can feel your eyes and heartfelt words."
"Your trust will not be in vain, say it! What is going on? Is it related to the City God? ”
"Do you already know, my lord?"
"I just guessed a rough idea, I don't know the specifics, I was going to ask Tuoba Chenghuang last night, and now I can ask you for advice. Let's talk about the thing that is holding in your heart first! ”
"Good. Ten years ago, Tuoba Chenghuang's management of the Mengyuan region was still very effective, but somehow, after he returned from a tour of the Mengyuan grassland, the whole person changed.
In terms of management, the original consultation and democracy began to slowly turn into autocracy. Opinions and voices against oneself are firmly combated, no matter who the person is. For the City God's Mansion, it is also expanded again and again, repaired and repaired.
That's nothing, at least not yet. However, some of the later practices were really difficult for our subordinates who had followed him for a hundred years to accept.
He began to woo and exclude the city gods of other cities, and those who were willing to obey him could continue to be the city gods. If he does not obey him, he will find some trumped-up charges to directly abolish this city god and appoint his own cronies.
At the local level, the land lord was also abolished, and the number of government soldiers was greatly expanded. On the surface, the current Mengyuan City God's Mansion is still under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, but in fact it has become the world of Tuoba City God's own people.
My lord, if you are on official business or investigating any case in Mongolia, you must be careful! There are a lot of eyes staring behind you! ”
"Sedum, your news is very important and timely to me, and after listening to your words, the doubts in my heart can be regarded as self-solving. Thankfully, I didn't mention it last night, otherwise I would have had one more trouble.
Let me ask you, where are all the land lords in the Mengyuan region now? ”
"If you go back to your lordship, they are all confined in a market town in the grassland, which is located in the center of the Mengyuan grassland, where the Tuoba City God is also heavily guarded!"
"It seems that it is not so easy to find out some information about the land lord! Let me ask you another question, do you know about the recent incident of a woman losing her soul in the Mengyuan area? ”
"I know, but Tuoba Chenghuang has issued a strict order, forbidding us to investigate this case and prohibiting us from discussing this matter in private."
"How so? Could it be that this matter has something to do with Tuoba Chenghuang? ”
Di Ming's heart suddenly became cold at this moment, why is this matter getting more and more complicated and tricky?
