It was a dead baby, not because the child emitted a stench, but because Luo Tian saw the child's cold and godless eyes, there was no focus, the pupils spread out in the center like a bottomless abyss black hole, only the dead have such eyes, but the mother who held the dead baby didn't seem to feel that her child was dead, and Luo Tian seemed to be able to see a strange hope on her face.

The reason why this kind of hope is called weird is because almost all the people in the canopy boat are in this state, the old man sitting next to Luo Tian is holding the scriptures written by the Blooming Star Pope in his hand, and coughing while reciting softly, she coughs very badly, obviously seriously ill, and there is a young woman on the other side, with a cane in her hand, one of her legs is obviously broken, and it should have been broken not long ago, so Luo Tian saw that her face would show a feeling of pain from time to time.

The whole awning boat is such a patient, and I believe that the situation is similar on other awning boats, Luo Tian turned his head and asked the old man next to him: "Are you sick?"

The old man did not answer Luo Tian directly, but only spoke after reciting the scriptures: "It is an incurable disease, I have seen many doctors who can't see it well, and the money is about to run out, but since I went to the secret temple last time to see the divine envoy, I was fortunate to be selected by the divine envoy to bless me, and since then my illness has obviously improved a lot, and those diseases that the doctors can't cure can only be cured by the gods." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her looked over, many of them were first-time believers of the secret temple, including the "delirious" mother.

"We're all attending the Secret Temple for the first time, can you tell us how we can be chosen by the Divine Envoy, is the Divine Envoy really omnipotent?" the young woman with the broken leg asked very urgently, of course, she was not the only one who wanted to know the answer.

Seeing that everyone wanted to know, the old man said: "The secret temple is built on the central island of a lake, it looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there is a cave and the inside is very large, and it is said that the Blooming Star God used magic to create a special space that can accommodate thousands of people. ”

Luo Tian on the side shook his head slightly, this is a mustard seed technique, but ordinary people don't understand the Tao in it to feel magical.

"After entering the room, everyone kneels on the ground in an orderly manner, and there will be an oracle representing the Blooming Star God on the podium, and then everyone recites the scriptures of the Blooming Star Cult together, prays together, and asks the Pope to give him divine power, and after a while, the Pope feels that everyone's prayers will give divine power, and that divine power will sweep away people's fatigue, give people vitality and hope, as if they have been purified and re-invigorated. The old man spoke in great detail, and everyone listened attentively.

Luo Tian on the side thought that he had seen the Blooming Star Pope perform divine skills in the Soka Ancient God Cave Mansion, and even the divine envoy of the Soka Ancient God could charm him, and his strength in this area was indeed very strong.

"Is it possible that my child will be brought back to life by the light of God?" asked the mother holding the dead baby anxiously.

The old woman shook her head and said: "That's not it, the divine art to heal us also takes a lot of power from the gods, the divine light that comes to each of us is to help us recover our strength, and then the divine envoy will select two believers below, and the chosen believers will be very lucky, they can be healed by the divine envoy, the divine envoy will borrow the divine power of the pope, any injury can be cured, your broken leg will be reborn, and your dead child will be resurrected." ”

Luo Tian on the side shook his head and asked, "Then you were chosen in the Secret Temple last time?"

The old woman nodded and said, " I was chosen with an old man who was about to die, when I saw him dying with my own eyes, he almost died in one breath, and only took a breath after being irradiated by the divine light, and then he was chosen by the divine envoy, the divine envoy put his hand on his body, and after a while the divine angel's hand seemed to have a brilliant ball of light, and then the old man kept breathing, and the more he breathed, the more powerful he became, and finally even his complexion became much better, I am also a person who has been tormented by illness, so I know that his state has been saved from the edge of life and death, I never thought that there are people in the world who can be so magical, oh no, he is a god and not a mortal。 ”

A conference like the exchange of experiences between patients was held in the canopy boat, everyone talked about their suffering, Luo Tian listened on the sidelines, in fact, the methods used by the Blooming Star Pope were not very advanced, it was nothing more than the set of deception on the rivers and lakes plus some seductive magic that he would know, so he packaged himself as a god in the world, of course, the believers he chose were also very particular, mainly some ordinary people who were suffering deeply.

The Oda Empire is in war all the year round, not to mention the border, even the inland areas are also perennial war preparations, the more reckless the country, the more difficult the life of the common people is, the war requires money, the money must come from the people, the common people are burdened with heavy taxes and live a hard life, there must be no money to consume, then the business will decline, the business recession will drive the country's enterprises to not survive, the productivity will also decline, then the whole country will gradually weaken.

The main reason why the Oda Empire has been able to maintain its strength for hundreds of years is that many of its large commercial cities close to the coast have always maintained prosperity, but the inhabitants of other cities, even the residents of Hongtai City, which is close to Wanlei City, have a difficult life.

The choice of the Blooming Star Pope to choose the Odda Empire is precisely to see this, when the people have no hope for the country, their spiritual world needs a new faith and sustenance, and the Blooming Star Pope just took advantage of the void.

"Young man, why are you here, I rarely see young people come to the Secret Temple. The old woman asked.

Luo Tian smiled and said, "I have internal injuries, which are very serious, and I may die anytime and anywhere, so I also need to find someone to save me." ”

The old woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, the gods will definitely save you, as long as you are sincere in your religion." ”

The awning boat staggered forward, and finally it was almost to the place, Luo Tian looked at the bow of the boat, and a small island in the middle of the lake appeared in his eyes, almost everyone in the awning boat began to chant the scriptures loudly, not only their awning boat, but also similar sounds came from the surrounding awning boats, the small island in the middle of the lake was the holy place in their hearts, but Luo Tian would kill here.

Landing on the island, some believers of the Blooming Star Sect wore black robes to greet them on the island, brought everyone into a black house, and then walked into the black house one by one, Luo Tian lined up and looked forward, and saw that everyone who entered the room was searched, obviously afraid that someone would make trouble among the believers, in addition to the second identity verification, that is, the scriptures of the Blooming Star Sect.

Luo Tian walked over, and the black-robed man stretched out his hand to stop Luo Tian, and then said, "My god knows all and is omnipotent. ”

Luo Tian smiled and said, "Only when all the people worship will the gods show their true power." ”

The black-robed man nodded, walked to Luo Tian and began to search his body, and soon touched Luo Tian's mustard seed ring and said, "Your ring needs to be opened for us to check." ”

"Nothing in there?" said Luo Tian.

"I said that if you want to open it, you have to open it, don't talk nonsense. Luo Tian rolled his eyes slightly, and the next moment he suddenly raised his hands and shouted: "Divine light, look at it, that's divine light." ”

The person who heard the voice quickly raised his head, only to see a wonderful light beginning to appear in the sky, which Luo Tian conjured with divine power, but it was more than enough for ordinary people and these believers with low cultivation, and in an instant, everyone felt that this was the divine power of the Blooming Star Pope, and they knelt on the ground and lowered their heads to recite the scriptures sincerely, and the next moment, Luo Tian took the opportunity to sneak into the room, and when the believer found out, Luo Tian was already nowhere to be found.

When I entered the room, I found that it was indeed a mustard seed technique, and the interior was a huge auditorium, solemnly decorated, and the believers who came in were consciously sitting on the ground reciting scriptures, and on the high podium, there were several high-ranking believers who were obviously more elaborately dressed and were preparing for today's secret assembly.

The bell hanging on the wall was runged, everyone looked up, and the oracle of the Blooming Star Pope said, "Devotees, welcome to the world of the gods. ”
