Chapter 50: The Star God Cult and the Mad God Temple
The people of the Star God Cult!
Suddenly, Arya was a little panicked, as a former member of the Star God Sect, even if she was now a devout disciple of Link, when facing her old club, the thin-skinned Arya was still a little at a loss.
And Saga and Aiolos were very dissatisfied with the Star God Cult's scolding Link, the fact that Link was once a Star God Sect priest was already a public matter, they had long known that they would not be shaken by each other's words at all, if it weren't for Link signaling them not to be impulsive with their eyes, they would have rushed up to defend the archbishop's majesty.
After calming Zachar and Aiolos and signaling the people of the Heavenly Spirit Sect not to interfere yet, Link got up and stepped forward, he looked at the leader of the Star God Sect, and a smile appeared on his face: "Father God is above, it turned out to be Bishop Amun, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard a while ago that you have been promoted to a white cardinal, it seems that this is really the case, congratulations." ”
The middle-aged man called Amon ignored Link's flattery at all, and said in a very faceless cold voice: "Hmph, who hasn't seen you for a long time? Neil Night, you despicable apostate, what qualifications do you have to participate in the celebration of the Pantheon? Get out of here with your people, don't defile the holy festival here!"
This remark can be regarded as a tearing of the skin, and for a while, others talked about it, Saga and Aiolos showed anger on their faces, and even Arya, who was uneasy, left her heart and stared at Amon with apology and dissatisfaction.
As for Link, although he didn't show any annoyance, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and those who knew him well knew that when he showed this kind of smile, it meant that some people were going to be unlucky.
Just as Link wanted to say something, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Ling Feng, came out to speak for Link: "Your Excellency, what you said is not right. As she spoke, she came to Link's side, and only then did she continue, "Archbishop Neil is the founder of the Father's Cult, and he is not eligible to participate in Pantheon, who is eligible?" Or do you feel that you have the power to change the rules set by the Earl and the five major religions at will, as long as they obey the laws of the kingdom, any religious representative and the people of the kingdom can participate in the Pantheon celebration in the Red Moon Province. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding discussion became even worse, Link couldn't help but look at Lingfeng, in fact, he wanted to say this just now, but it was obviously more lethal than what he said from the other person's mouth, so he smiled and said nothing.
As for Amon, his face changed by the big hat buckled by the spirit wind, if he let Count Lothar hear this, it would be nothing, if he let the people of the five major religions know, he would definitely use the topic to play, because the Star God Sect has been powerful in recent years, and he has already wanted to peep into the position of the Pope, and the five major religions are not small in their hostility to the Star God Sect, and they will not let go of any opportunity to suppress them.
Thinking of this, Amon immediately showed his piety and said: "The star god is above, your Excellency's words are wrong, I only lost my temper for a while because someone betrayed the noble star god, and I didn't have the idea of violating the rules of the celebration." After a pause, in order to prevent the other party from holding on to his braids, he decisively changed the topic and said, "Then again, I don't know who you are, Miss?"
"Miss?" Ling Feng immediately laughed as if he had heard a joke when he heard this title, and the pretty face with a beautiful smile suddenly made many people's hearts beat faster, but then Ling Feng's words made everyone stunned, "I'm sorry, I don't deserve this title, although I look very young, but I'm already in my sixties, I guess it's enough for you to be nǎinǎi - let me introduce myself, my name is Ling Feng, and I am the Great Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect." ”
After listening to Lingfeng's words, everyone was stunned for a long time before there was an uproar, Link also looked at Lingfeng in surprise, although he knew that Lingfeng's appearance did not match his age, but he didn't want such a big gap, and his sixties were still the same as his twenties.
Looking at Amon again, a change flashed in his eyes after being surprised, and then he nodded and threw a cruel word at Link, and then led people to the other side, the decisive retreat posture was really anticlimactic compared to his previous appearance of Zozole.
This behavior also puzzled many people, including Link, but Link understood it when he found out that Amon and the others were sitting with the people of the Mad Temple.
Lingfeng suddenly opened his mouth and said softly, "It seems that the Mad God Temple and the Star God Sect have reached some kind of agreement, Archbishop Neil, you have to be careful." ”
Link nodded silently, he had wondered why Amon wanted to force him as soon as he came up, although his apostasy was a fact, but the Star God Sect itself did not pay attention to or even ignored the matter of the church in Chinko Town, and everyone knew it, even if he didn't apostatize, it would end sooner or later, under normal circumstances, the Star God Sect should not offend him even if he didn't make friends with him, after all, the Father God Sect was not very weak. Now that he saw the conspiracy between the Star God Cult and the Mad God Cult, he understood the reason.
Indeed, it is obviously more appropriate to form an alliance with an established church than to have a good relationship with a new church, and the Mad God Temple is really disgusting, and it is unwilling to give up after being suppressed by the three major churches, it seems that this Pantheon celebration Link can't even if he wants to play soy sauce.
Amon is a difficult guy to deal with, and although Link is not familiar with him, he knows this very well, otherwise Amon would not have been able to defeat many competitors and become a white cardinal.
This time he came to find fault, Amon obviously didn't expect that the Heavenly Spirit Sect had formed an alliance with the Father God Sect, and he didn't expect that after just saying two words, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect jumped out to speak for Link. And after understanding, Amon didn't care about the loss of face, and immediately led people to retreat, no matter how you look at it, this kind of decisive person is more difficult to deal with than the opponents Link has encountered before.
After thinking for a while, Link led the group to sit down again, and talked and laughed with the Spirit Breeze as if what had just happened had never happened. But for the surrounding people, what happened just now is enough for them to talk about, and the topic with the most appearance rate is the problem of Lingfeng's appearance.
This question was known to many people on the scene, and the answer soon appeared.
It turns out that the Heavenly Spirit Sect has a unique secret technique, which can maintain the appearance and appearance, and it can be like a teenager or twenty years old when it is nearly a hundred years old, among which the three elders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect are already famous figures, the youngest is fifty-five years old, and the oldest Lingfeng is already sixty-two, but they are low-key and rarely show up in the outside world, so there are not many people who know the three of them so far.
After some explanations and explanations, many people are very greedy for the unique secret art of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, especially the female xìng, there is no woman who does not love beauty, this kind of secret technique that can make the pure permanent makes them very blushing.
However, those who know are ridiculed at the red-eyed, and many people have bluntly given reasons, it turns out that the secret art of the Heavenly Spirit Sect is not a secret, and they have exchanged things with other forces at the beginning, but it takes a great price to complete this secret art, first of all, you can't eat, you can only rely on meditation and magic to maintain your life, this alone can make countless people have to retreat, it's not that there is no perseverance, but there are not many people who can really understand the mystery of the secret art, if you starve to death in the process of cultivating the secret art, it will be a tragedy。
After completing the first step, you have to go through escapist retreats, pure hearts, not seeing sunlight and other things that ordinary people absolutely can't stand, and when you complete the secret arts, you don't need to see people, stay at home every day to practice, and for many women, it is better to live this claustrophobic life than to honestly wait for yourself to grow old.
What's more, although the secret technique of the Heavenly Spirit Sect can prolong life, it can only make people live to be more than a hundred years old, and when it comes to the time for the king of Hades to ask for his life, the damn still can't run.
After learning of the harsh requirements and practical effects of the secret arts, those who were envious and jealous of the three elders immediately retracted their thoughts, and even many women cast a look of pity, in their opinion, although it is admirable to live in a pure heart and widowhood all their lives, it is also a sympathetic thing, and they feel that it is very painful for them to have empty beauty but not be able to show it.
After practicing the Jiuyang Divine Skill, Link's hearing has grown, and those people have discussed it in a loud voice, but it has made Link hear it all, after learning the situation, Link couldn't help but look at Lingfeng in surprise, and Lingfeng smiled slightly when he saw this: "Is Archbishop Neil also interested in the secret art of nourishing the face and rejuvenating?"
Link shrugged his shoulders with a smile when he heard this: "Yes, yes, but the secret technique of the Heavenly Spirit Sect is too limited and not very interesting, and as a messenger of the Father, I believe that the Great Father will give something better sooner or later." ”
"Father...... Reifeng nodded and said no more, but his gaze would drift to the place where the Temple of Mad God and the Star God Cult were located from time to time.
For the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the annual Pantheon celebration is just a formality, and there are no forces that will make trouble for the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but now the Heavenly Spirit Sect has decided to defect to the Father God Sect, and in this case, the problem of the Father God Sect is also their problem.
After thinking for a while, Lingfeng quietly whispered a few words to Lingmeng, although Lingmeng looked impatient, she still got up and sat down next to Link, which made Link and the others stunned, and Lingmeng pouted: "That old woman asked me to sit next to you to prevent accidents." ”
Link understood what he said, and nodded gratefully to Lingfeng, although Lingfeng only called Lingmeng, it also represented the attitude of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, after all, the Heavenly Spirit High Priest was with him, would the rest of the Heavenly Spirit Sect be left alone?
With the support of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Link also has the bottom of his heart, the Heavenly Spirit Sect has been stationed in Bath City for five hundred years, although it is low-key, it is a complete earth snake, and it is impossible for the Mad God Temple and the Star God Sect to confront the Heavenly Spirit Sect in Bath City even if it is a strong dragon.
Thinking of this, Link chatted with the two girls around him, Arya needless to say, as long as she can accompany Link, she is very happy, and although Reimu is indifferent and unrestrained, she will not ignore people, and after getting along for so many days, Link can be considered to have figured out the other party's xìng and knows how to get along with them.
In this rather relaxed atmosphere, the venue was already full of spectators, and at nine o'clock in the morning, the Count of Lothar, as the host, and his son Brand made a grand finale to announce the official opening of the celebration with the popes of the five major churches.
