Chapter 43: The Past (7)
Inside the Yangnuo Coffee Shop
It was the middle of the afternoon, and the store was empty, when it was supposed to be a bustling afternoon tea season. There were only four patrons, and the four archbishops of the Calais were already waiting for Li Xuan and the two here.
With Li Xuan's arrival, the four archbishops stood up at the same time, and the old bishop headed by him looked at Li Xuan with a smile and couldn't stop praising him. "Son, you are the most outstanding young man I have ever met, and this must be a blessing from the Lord. As he spoke, he folded his hands and began to pray, thanking God for his blessings, as did the three archbishops behind him.
After the four of them finished praying, the old bishop looked at Li Xuan, his eyes revealing fiery anticipation.
From that blazing gaze, Li Xuan felt that unparalleled expectation. However, in addition, she who had been cultivating her soul for many years felt a trace of discord from that fiery gaze, so what? Li Xuan couldn't answer.
"Hello, honorable archbishop. Old Bishop Li Xuanchao bowed slightly.
A kind smile appeared on the old bishop's wrinkled face, and he shook Li Xuan's hands cordially.
"Praise the Lord, child, that you are a gift from the Lord to the world. ”
Li Xuan lowered his head a little embarrassed, and his face was dyed with a hint of redness.
For the first contact with the Calais archbishops, Li Xuan felt very strange. "It turns out that Calais, as the church propagandizes, is not a gathering place for blasphemers, but they also have a devout faith. Li Xuan thought truthfully in his heart.
A few people sat down in the coffee shop, and the other three archbishops also stepped forward to greet Li Xuan, although the age difference between the two sides was very large, but because of the difference in cultivation, they were equally discussed. On the contrary, it was Liang Xiao, and he was the only bishop in the audience. Therefore, when the other five people were all seated in the coffee shop, he could only run to the door to watch the door, looking at Liang Xiao with a depressed face, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Whew, Liang Xiao glanced at her and walked out helplessly.
In a short time, five cups of mellow coffee were delivered to the five archbishops. Since the owner was also a devout believer, he almost fainted with happiness when he heard that his coffee shop was going to receive five archbishops.
So, he's been preparing for a day for these five cups of coffee.
The mellow aroma of coffee wafted in the coffee shop, and Rao couldn't help but look sideways with the determination of the old bishop. However, he still graciously stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and Li took a cup first after he was guilty. She brought the delicate lace silver cup to her lips and took a sip.
Ahh......h indescribable
The mellow aroma of coffee permeated his lips, and the silkiness of his lips and teeth made Li Xuan linger. Gently lower the silver cup. Li Xuan gave a bright smile to the nervous shopkeeper.
At this moment, the shopkeeper felt that the entire sky became brighter, and looking at Li Xuan, the shopkeeper seemed to see the goddess. From Li Xuan, he didn't feel a trace of pressure, all he could feel was light. With a serene smile, the shopkeeper bowed to Li Xuanshen.
"Miss Li Xuan is really kind, and she does not hesitate to harm her own cultivation, and she also sends God's blessings to this believer. In this way, the Black Death virus, which had been in his body, was cured. His lifespan can also be extended by about ten years. The old bishop said calmly.
Li Xuan lowered his head a little shyly, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
This shy appearance made Liang Xiao next to her fascinated for a while, and he couldn't wait to go up and kiss her cheek.
"Miss Li Xuan. The old bishop called. "I think your kindness has been accurately conveyed to that believer. But, as a clergyman, have you ever wondered if your actions are in accordance with the will of the Lord?"
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at him suspiciously. In her view, as a clergyman, through the Lord's endowment, he has abilities that are far beyond ordinary people, and the application of these abilities is naturally for the sake of the Lord. Then, it is the duty of the church to help the Lord govern the world, and it is their duty to help believers as the cornerstone of the church, to spread faith in the Lord among them, and to encourage more people to follow the Lord steadfastly. So Li Xuan didn't think that his actions were against the will of the Lord. Out of politeness, she did not contradict the old bishop, but waited quietly for his next words.
"Miss Li Xuan, I would like to ask you a question. Do you respect the journey of life, old age, sickness and death, and reincarnation?"
Li Xuan nodded. "Of course, everyone will die one day, except the great Eternal Lord. We strive to cultivate in the hope that in the future, our souls can ascend to heaven and serve the Lord. ”
"So, what do you think mortal believers will gain by their faith in the Lord?"
"For mortal believers, grasp this life and look forward to the next. Strive to do good deeds for the salvation of your soul, be an upright and devout believer, and accumulate virtue and do good deeds for your future life. These are the official explanations given by the church, and it is still very easy for Li Xuan, who lives in the church all the year round, to memorize them.
After listening to Li Xuan's answer, the old bishop applauded, "Your explanation is really very detailed, it seems that you are very familiar with the doctrine of the church, and I still think you are not very clear. What an offense. As he spoke, the old bishop bowed his head apologetically.
Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Old man, you don't have to be like this. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, miss. However, there is one last question I want to ask you. That's ....." Before the words fell, the old bishop raised his head violently, his eyes! Li Xuan secretly screamed in his heart, but it was too late to take precautions.
Liang Xiao, who was standing at the door, clearly saw that the old bishop's right eye had become terrifying, and a purple halo surrounded the white right eye without eyeballs, revealing endless attraction from it, as if hell was tempting the lost.
"Miss. Looking at Li Xuan, who had sunk into his right eye, the previous kindness and kindness had disappeared from the old bishop's face, replaced by coldness and occasional desire. "The last question of the old decay is...... are you willing to join the Calais Church! and give everything to the cause of the church, even if your parents are in the way, as long as you block the things in the church, you must mercilessly erase them. Would you like to!" The voice fell, and the purple halo on the old bishop's right eye became more intense.
"I ....." Li Xuan hesitated in an unconscious state, her perennial cultivation soul constantly resisted, trying to get rid of the old bishop's oppression.
"Good, good. The old bishop said three good words in a row, Li Xuan's soul strength has far exceeded his expectations, such a soul cultivation, no wonder she can advance to the archbishop realm at this age. It seems that the goal cannot be achieved without some means of pressing the bottom of the box. The old bishop motioned to the other three archbishops around him to take out the array disk given by the cardinal of Calais, and the three of them cast spells together, and soon the array disk was activated, and the power of the array spread out. With the blessing of the formation, the old bishop's soul power more than doubled in an instant. Gradually, the resistance of Li Xuan's soul was suppressed.
"I ask you, would you like to join us in Calais and fight for it!?"
"I ...... I...I would like to ....." when he saw that Li Xuan was about to say that he was willing to become a slave of the Calais Sect. In Li Xuan's soul, another force suddenly burst out, and it was-for-tat with the power of the Calais Sect, and it was equal for a while.
Li Xuan fell to the ground in pain. She felt like her soul was about to be torn apart by these two forces. In order to cope with this sudden onslaught, the old bishop and the other three archbishops are casting spells with all their might to strengthen their power output. At this moment, Liang Xiao stood up, he picked up Li Xuan, and rushed outside the coffee shop.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Xian, who was casting spells with all his might, scolded, son!
