Chapter 7: Practice
This..... What is this!? A huge black hand grabbed his soul, and a black inscription was engraved on it, and then he was re-thrown into this world, and the little light energy that emerged from his soul was actually absorbed by this giant hand!
"That energy is the power of your faith. The dove said calmly.
"Faith?" asked Ziernos suspiciously, "How can faith be used by others if it is such an ethereal existence?"
"How can you know all the wonders of all things?" said the dove's disdainful voice in Ziernos's soul.
The two continued to go deeper, and the picture in their souls became more and more blurred, almost to the point of being invisible, but Ziernos's memory became deeper and deeper, and according to the dove, Qiernos had successfully opened the ladder of thinking.
Every thing recorded in the soul was experienced by Ziernos himself, so when the ladder of thought opened, he seemed to change back to him in every picture of his soul, and so many things were as if he had just experienced them.
For ordinary people, a sudden increase in memory can lead to insanity, but Ziernos is a cardinal, and he can distinguish these memories very well, so that he can clearly understand what period of his soul he is in!
The space of the soul was bleak, and the number of memories that the Dove and Zienos saw on their way was becoming less and less. However, each one found can awaken the memory of Ziernos to the greatest extent.
"Stop, stop!" suddenly Zirnos yelled.
"What's your name?" asked the dove dissatisfied.
"Rewind, slow down, slow down. Ziernos did not answer, but spoke his own words.
Although the dove was dissatisfied, he still did as he said, and returned little by little.
"Stop!" Zirenos commanded loudly.
"There's nothing here!" the dove looked at the bleak space in front of him, puzzled.
Ziernos did not answer, and his mind burst out, pointing directly at his own soul.
A moment later, there was a click, as if something had cracked.
Looking at this magical scene, the dove secretly thought that this was a way for the soul to protect itself, what was it that required the soul of Zirenos to protect itself like this?
The bleak space gradually took on its brilliance, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a strange sight.
In the picture, four souls are converging towards a woman, and each soul's eyes are showing relief relief!
If Du Hongcheng was here at the moment, then he would definitely recognize that woman was Li Xuan!
Extrication???
On the way back, Ziernos kept thinking about the word, liberation? What is liberation? At present, ascending to heaven is a hoax at all, death is just a convenient way to reincarnation, how can I get liberation!?
The consciousness of the two returned to their bodies at the same time, and they spent so much time in the spirit world, but only about fifteen minutes passed in the real world.
"How do you feel? Cardinal Qiernos?" Du Hongcheng asked playfully, looking at Qiernos, who was still hanging his head.
Qi Ernuos glanced up at Du Hongcheng, and his desperate eyes penetrated deep into Du Hongcheng's heart.
"Do you know what liberation is?"
"Relief?" Du Hongcheng shook his head.
"What is liberation when death is not liberation?" said Ziernos, looking desperately at the people in the room.
This...... Du Hongcheng really couldn't answer. What was liberation he could not answer...... Because he himself has been reincarnated in this world for too long.
He always had a desire to restore the country in his life, and perhaps his liberation would be the day when the empire was truly restored. Just when Du Hongcheng was at a loss, the dove spoken.
"Liberation, why liberation?" said the dove, as if full of magic.
Hearing her words, everyone in the hall felt a wave in their hearts.
"Cultivation is all about going against the sky, and what we are pursuing is to be in control! Why do we want to pursue liberation in this?"
When everyone in the hall heard her words, the waves in their hearts turned into wild waves.
Yes! Everyone is wrong! What is the so-called cultivation? For oneself! What religion? What country! What status! What power! They are all floating clouds!
What really matters is cultivation!
Since the purpose of practice is to break through oneself and break the limitations of the natural world, how can we talk about liberation!!
Yes!
Du Hongcheng suddenly woke up to the fact that his cultivation was to establish an empire, but after the establishment, would he Du Hongcheng die? Will he disappear? No! The establishment of the empire is to fulfill his long-cherished wish, but the life he dreams of is not actually the emperor of the empire, he envies such ordinary ordinary people, he likes the life of small bridges and flowing water and the ordinary life of cultivating Nanyang!
In the final analysis, cultivation is for the sake of a better life for oneself! What is the difference between this and ordinary people chasing better jobs and better salaries?
Qiernos raised his head and looked at the dove, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance.
"Your Highness, you are right, religion is just one way of practice. Taught. ”
The dove nodded.
"What Yahwa can give you, we can also, and what Yahwa can't give, we can give. The dove said calmly. In her hands, divine power manifested. This energy is far from being comparable to magic.
When the matter came to this, Qi Ernuos had long been convinced, and he threw himself on the five bodies that he admired.
"Glad to help, Your Highness. Zienos half-knelt down and kissed the dove's feet. Behind him, the three archbishops also knelt down and saluted the dove.
Du Hongcheng clapped his hands with satisfaction, and he only had two words for the solution to the dove - admiration!
After this incident, the entire empire continued to accumulate troops, actively defended, and was ready to deal with the impact of the church at any time, everything within the empire was going on in an orderly manner, but the church could not sit still.
First, there was bad news from the Inquisition, the two cardinals and six archbishops who participated in the assassination were all missing. One of the cardinals has returned to Heaven.
The spies of the church also came with news from within the empire that everything was business as usual in the empire, and nothing had changed, which indicated that the assassination was likely to fail.
The assassination of the two cardinals and the six archbishops was actually defused in this way!? The whole church had to reformulate their strategy against Pompeii, and the inquisition, headed by the chief inquisition, was ashamed and shocked by this defeat.
"I'm going to Natling myself, I'm going to see what's !! there," the inquisition's angry voice rang out in the courtroom!
"Petri, Tristan, you two come with me! Bring ten of the best archbishops!" the inquisition's order reached the ears of the two remaining cardinals.
This time, the Inquisition will do its best to wipe out the Pompeii Empire established by Du Hongcheng and Gu Yu!
