Chapter 169: The Way Back
"It is said that you and Runjun are very similar, at first I didn't believe it, but now I see that it is not carved out of a mold. The white cardinal was very kind, which reminded Zhan Tao of his grandfather who was playing chess with a thermos cup in the countryside. It's a terrible thing to feel this way about a living person, because it makes people lose their sense of guard, and it's not good to trust them too much, even if that person just saved your life.
"It's still different. Zhan Tao laughed and said sincerely, "I'm far worse than him." ”
"I don't think so. The cardinal shook his head, "Runjun is naturally not a mortal, and you, who have been summoned by the Pope, are naturally not mortals. ”
"Your Excellency the Pope wants to see me?" Zhan Tao was a little surprised.
The white cardinal smiled, "Where else do you think we're going?"
Of course, the state religion is going to the state religion, which is a very simple truth. It's just that Zhan Tao doesn't want to think about it, Kwai Lisha is the high priest of the Holy Spirit State Church and the daughter of the Pope, and this direct relationship causes Zhan Tao to inexplicably have a kind of shyness when he sees his elders. He repeatedly admonished himself not to be so self-indulgent and attributed his knot to a visit to the Pope himself.
When a small person sees a big person, he should be nervous, Zhan Tao thought so.
The palace of the Holy Spirit State Religion is not inferior to the appearance of the Heavenly Palace, and even in terms of architectural aesthetics alone, it must be better. The believers were either dressed in white clouds, or black, as heavy as dark clouds, and some of them burned vigorously as if they were wrapped in a red sunset. Zhan Tao was surprised that a sect had split into multiple sub-sects, and it was obvious that the same color robe was one faction, so it should be difficult to take care of, and it was very easy to give rise to apostasy.
Seeing that Zhan Tao's face was puzzled, the white bishop opened his mouth to answer the question, "I believe you can also see that those white-robed people are all my believers. Our entire Holy State Church has many sects, including those that have migrated to your world, and each has its own doctrine. ”
"It's amazing. Zhan Tao really couldn't think of any other adjective.
Entering the inner hall, the greenery suddenly becomes dense, not like stepping into the building, but like entering an oasis, and the bright greenery makes people feel comfortable. Zhan Tao couldn't help but take a deep breath, only to feel fresh and refreshing, and his spirit was uplifted. Then he saw an old man with a watering can, who was concentrating on watering the potted plants. Compared with the spirit of the white cardinal, the old man looked sick.
Zhan Tao thought that this was an old gardener, so he just nodded slightly, and did not deliberately salute. Unexpectedly, the white-clothed cardinal beside him didn't say a word, and bowed down. Zhan Tao reacted at this time, but he missed the opportunity to salute, and it was too late to make up for it, so he simply stood still and responded to all changes without change. No one was angry at his rudeness, neither the Bishop nor the Pope himself.
"Want to go back?" asked the Pope, stopping what he was doing and looking at Zhan Tao.
"Yes. Zhan Tao said frankly.
"Before Mr. Dongpo died, he probably told you how to go back?"
"Got it. ”
"Then why don't you go back?"
"Because I'm not strong enough to kill that demon snake. ”
The Pope discarded the pot, made a sword with his fingers, and gently slashed to one place, and I don't know how many sword shadows were outlined, and the humming sound that shook the eardrums confirmed the sharpness of these sword intent.
"Do you want to learn?" asked the Pope.
Zhan Tao thought for a long time, slowly shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that I use a knife." ”
"People here only use swords. ”
"But I don't belong here. ”
"Can't you give up the sword and change the sword?"
"No, I can't. ”
There was a smile of appreciation in the Pope's eyes, "You only learn swordsmanship theory, not swordsmanship, okay?"
"Perhaps...... Okay?" Zhan Tao was puzzled, "but what's the point of that?"
"It never hurts to know more. The Pope no longer gave Zhan Tao room to refuse, and said with a decisive word, "Since you don't want to use a sword, during the time you learn from me, you can use green bamboo instead of a sword." ”
The dialogue between the two made the white bishop greedy and frightened, and it was the dream of many believers to practice with the Pope and inherit the Pope's mantle and correct the law. Even himself, it was only after he became bishop that he was fortunate enough to receive the Pope's guidance for half a day. It's only been half a day, and he has been reborn, and he doesn't know how much he has improved his swordsmanship. Can...... This guy still refuses to learn, you say it's annoying or not.
"I see that you are a little tired today, so take a day off and start practicing with me tomorrow. The Pope's voice was deep and reassuring: "Rest assured, as long as you are in the state religion, you are absolutely safe." ”
"Thank you. Zhan Tao paused, as if he still had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak.
As if he could see through people's minds, the Pope asked, "Why did I save you?"
"Yes. "Zhan Tao is a little shy.
"If you already know why, why do you need to ask so clearly? "There are some things that are more interesting than honest and clear." ”
Lying on the bed, Zhan Tao looked at the finely made mosquito net and was stunned, and he traveled to several places, in order to survive, he came to the territory of Kwai Lisha by chance. It's a pity that I can't contact her, otherwise there must be a lot to talk to, and I don't know if she has slept in this bed, I really think too much, how can the dignified high priest sleep in the guest room.
I don't know what the Pope's practice is, is it a prayer and a swordsmanship? It's just that now is not the time to relax, Zhan Tao guides the [Tinder] and lets the flames roll on the body. This is not a practice of micro-control of flames, using the origin of fire to refine the body, or even refining the soul. In the initial stage, humans ate roasted animal meat, developed their brains, and completed the leapfrog evolution of the race. In the intermediate stage, it is like Zhantao, using flames to descale and condense the soul.
No one to guide, this is a set of methods that Zhantao has explored by himself, and the effect is wonderful. A good positive effect will inevitably be accompanied by a tragic and vicious experience. Fortunately, the guest rooms of the state religion have soundproof magic circles, otherwise, it is estimated that no one will be able to sleep on this big night.
The reason why he tortured himself like this and traced the origin was because of the secret that Mr. Dongpo confided before his death, the truth about the [Electronic Channel]. Time cannot be reversed, but it can coexist, parallel spaces affect each other, checks and balances, and people often say that changing lives is better to affect themselves in another parallel world through various means.
[Electronic Passage] is the road to heaven, but it has no exit, and if you want to return to the world, you can only stop yourself from jumping off the volcano on the day of the Demon Snake Festival.
I haven't been here, so it's the way back.
This is a very simple truth, but unfortunately, it is not easy to kill the demon snake, at least, in terms of the current Zhantao, there is still a considerable distance.
