Chapter 92 Secondary Transactions

The two of them came to a small room at the back of the church, and Bishop Matthews took off the robe that was very cumbersome to wear, and moved his muscles and bones for a long time, as if it was not a robe that had been removed, but a small mountain that weighed him down. He motioned for Xu Changqing to sit casually, then took out a very exquisite set of tea sets from the cabinet at the head of the bed, got some hot water, carefully took out a bag of tea, and threw a few slices down extremely stingily. After making the tea, he handed it to Xu Changqing and said, "Try the tea I grew myself." ”

Xu Changqing took the teacup and smelled it, it had a faint fragrance of tea, took a sip, the entrance was slightly bitter, frowned, didn't taste the second sip, put it aside, and said: "It's about the same as the soil tea in the mountains! Father Matthews, you can use this kind of tea to honor your old friend who has not seen you for many years, this is too stingy!"

"No, I asked several people and said it was the best tea!" Bishop Matthews looked puzzled, took a sip of the teacup, quickly spit it out, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It seems to be moldy!"

Xu Changqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bishop Matthews' appearance, and said with emotion: "Father Matthews, although you have changed your skin, your personality is still the same, and you have not been eroded by the darkness of the Holy See that you said, and I am really pleased to be your student. ”

Bishop Matthews also looked at Xu Changqing and said: "I'm already old, no matter what, there can't be any changes! But what surprises me is that you have changed a lot, you have become more and more like your master, maybe you have surpassed him! The young man who was seen through by me at a glance back then has now become blurry in my eyes, in your language, this is unfathomable!"

Xu Changqing smiled, without any expression, and then asked with a little puzzlement: "Father, how did you know that I was in Wansheng Trading Company? I only arrived late last night, and you have already given me an invitation today, don't tell me that I guessed with a spell? Although the spells of your Western Holy See have their own uniqueness, they will not be so magical." ”

"When Qingping went to another church for Mass this morning, she happened to meet me. Bishop Matthews didn't hide it, sat next to Xu Changqing, and said with concern: "I didn't expect the ending of the two of you to be like this, if it weren't for your master...... back then"

"Father, since there is no need to talk about things that have already passed, Master used secret methods to help me repay my long-cherished wish of destiny for three lives, what can I blame him? I know that I owed her too much and hurt her too much, but this is all between me and her, Priest, don't get involved. Xu Changqing interrupted Bishop Matthews in a flat tone, and then changed the subject: "Father, why did you become a cardinal so quickly? As far as I know, it seems that the Western Holy See has been deliberately suppressing your monastic order, how could it give you such an important position?"

Seeing that Xu Changqing was unwilling to continue this topic, Bishop Matthews did not insist anymore, and followed Xu Changqing's topic, and said: "Actually, they are using the position of cardinal to gag me, because I have revealed a big secret that is enough to subvert the authority of the Holy See, and they have no way to make me disappear silently, so they have to give me the name of a cardinal, and then send me to South America to preach, away from the center of the Holy See." ”

"South America?" Xu Changqing frowned and said, "Why don't you stay here permanently?"

"I'm afraid!" Bishop Matthews smiled bitterly, and said with a slightly tired expression: "If it weren't for your master, I might have buried my bones here, and if I were still young, I might have fought again, but now I'm too tired, and the so-called glory of God doesn't seem to have much to do with me anymore, I just want to take a good rest and find a comfortable place to spend my old age in peace." ”

"Don't you even want your Holy See Relic Cross?" Xu Changqing suddenly had an extra thought in his heart, smiled, suddenly took out the cross from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said, "I remember that Father Priest came to my land of China for this thing in the first place, don't you want it now?"

Bishop Matthews' eyes widened when he saw the cross, as if he had seen a ghost, perhaps more astonished than when he saw a ghost, and he almost stopped breathing, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, and held the cross respectfully with both hands. I saw that the cross that did not react at all in Xu Changqing's hand bloomed with a burst of white light in the hand of Bishop Matthews, and the true power of the gods hidden in the cross like stagnant water was surging at this moment, ready to come out.

"It's really a holy thing! it's really a holy thing!" Bishop Matthews looked a little excited, and he knelt on the ground with both hands on his knees, lifted it above his head, and recited the prayer with great reverence in his mouth, and old tears fell to the ground. Bishop Matthews had spent half of his life running around for this cross, and he almost took his life, and now he saw this cross that haunted his soul, how could he not be excited.

After Bishop Matthews finished praying, he raised his head and looked at the cross in his hand carefully, his expression gradually calmed down from excitement, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face. At this time, he suddenly thought of something, his expression was dull for a moment, he turned his head to look at Xu Changqing suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Changqing, with my understanding of your Yizhuang lineage, your lineage descendants have never had any good intentions and will help people for free! I think you have also inherited the tradition of your master, so you should have no other purpose in taking out this cross in front of me now, right?"

"It seems that the priest has not lived in vain in Chen Jiachong for more than ten years! Xu Changqing smiled, and then said with a stern expression: "Presumably, Father, you also know that our lineage has a period of forty limits, and seeing that my final limit is getting closer and closer, there is still no trace of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and those caves and blessed lands have been occupied by the Immortal Buddha Sect, so naturally they will not let me look for it, so I can only put my hope in a foreign land." As long as you can help me find the spiritual objects I need through the power of the Western Church, this cross will be returned to you. ”

"What?Heaven and Earth Spirits?" Bishop Matthews' face changed suddenly, and the enthusiasm in his heart that had just been stirred by the cross immediately cooled. He is not the kind of stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, in the past ten years in Chen Jiachong, he has read some of the chronicles of Xu Changqing's master, and naturally knows what the spiritual objects of heaven and earth are. With the great power of the Yizhuang lineage, there is no way to find a little heaven and earth spiritual object, he has self-knowledge, even if he let the entire hermitage to find the heaven and earth spiritual object, there will be no gain, unless he cooperates with the Holy See to have a glimmer of hope.

Bishop Matthews reluctantly glanced at the cross in his hand, sighed, put it on the table, and said calmly: "It seems that I, Matthews, are destined to come without a chance to come to this cross, so you better take it back! Although there is no way to get him, it is already satisfying to be able to see the holy relic before I die." ”

Xu Changqing looked at Bishop Matthews, held the cross in his hand, smiled and said, "It's okay, since your Western Holy See is unwilling to exchange with me, naturally there are people who are willing, such as the Western demons who are opposed to you!"

"What? Changqing, you can't do this, doing so will plunge the whole world into disaster!" Bishop Matthews was startled when he heard this, and immediately stood up, grabbed Xu Changqing's arm, and said urgently.

"No! It should be a disaster for the whole of Europe. Xu Changqing gently broke Bishop Matthews' hand and said, "Father, don't worry, they are not so easy to find the heaven and earth spirit objects, they can't even figure out what the heaven and earth spirit objects are, you have a lot of advantages over them, as long as you can find the heaven and earth spirit objects faster than them, then the cross is still yours." ”

Bishop Matthews suddenly looked at Xu Changqing with a strange expression, smiled, and said, "Changqing, you must be bluffing me, right? Western demons never come to the East, so how can you make a deal with them?"

Looking at Bishop Matthews' smiling face that thought he had exposed his lies, Xu Changqing calmly and slowly explained the matter of the Ma family's shop, and Bishop Matthews' face became more and more solemn when he heard it. When he heard that Samael was eliminated by Xu Changqing, his face relaxed a little, but when he heard that Lilith was pregnant with a demon baby, his face became nervous again, and his face changed again and again, until he heard the deal Xu Changqing made with Lilith, his face slowly became gloomy. He knew very well in his heart that the demonic forces in the West were no worse than the Holy See forces, and in many ways they were stronger than the Holy See's forces.

Seeing Bishop Matthews' tightly knit brows, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Father, you are my teacher, I will naturally treat you more preferentially." As he spoke, he took a piece of charcoal from the fireplace, drew it on the letter paper on the table, drew the stone he saw from the Nine Lives True Monarch's spiritual consciousness and the foreign soldier, handed it to Bishop Matthews and said: "This foreigner was one of the Eight-Nation Alliances back then, he snatched this stone from the palace at that time, this stone I suspect is a heaven and earth spiritual object, as long as you can find this stone, Father, I will return the cross to you." ”

"Do those evil things know about the existence of this stone?" Bishop Matthews immediately took the letter, found some soapy water to shape it, then looked at it carefully, and asked again.

Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, they don't know!" I have already sent someone to Europe to find this stone, but he may be small and weak, and he will not play a big role, and I don't want to trouble the Chen family with this matter, so I have to make this decision." But rest assured, Father, that if either you or the man I have sent can find this stone, this cross will be yours. If even those demons like this can find the heaven and earth spirits before you, then don't blame me, Father. ”

"Okay, I'll go back to Europe tomorrow and deal with this matter!" Bishop Matthews knew that Xu Changqing had taken care of him enough, and he shouldn't have made any more requests, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Changqing, if those evil things find the heaven and earth spirit objects first, and they send someone to trade, can you notify me in advance." ”

"It seems that the world is as dark as a crow, and you clergy are not as upright as you say. Xu Changqing couldn't help but laugh and mocked, then nodded, and said, "I can sue you, but there is one thing you have to know, no matter how your Western cultivation world fights, don't make trouble in my Chinese realm anymore, otherwise even if I don't make a move, someone will make a move." ”

Bishop Matthews knew that Xu Changqing was not joking, and he had also understood the benefits and disadvantages of Chinese cultivators, so he naturally did not dare to make the same mistake again, so he nodded and agreed with a stern expression: "Don't worry, we will understand the rules." ”

Xu Changqing nodded, and under the reluctant gaze of Bishop Matthews, he put the cross in his sleeve, and then looked at Bishop Matthews with a depressed expression, and opened the topic: "Father, your divine skills have improved again! You can break my body binding technique so easily, it seems that you have improved more than just your title over the years." ”

Bishop Matthews returned to normalcy, smiled bitterly, and said: "Britain is the gathering place of evil forces throughout Europe, and if I hadn't improved my strength, I would have died a long time ago." Then he ripped the collar on his neck a little, revealing a shocking scar, and said, "Although those evil forces are relatively weaker than you Eastern cultivators individually, they are more familiar with our battles than you, and they are much more difficult to deal with. ”

Seeing Bishop Matthews' scar, Xu Changqing's face turned slightly gloomy, and he suddenly asked, "How strong are the fallen angels Samael and Lilith in your west?"

Bishop Matthews hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "Like me, they all belong to the rank of the priesthood," and then paused, reminding: "You must not think that these two fallen angels are the strongest, they are famous mainly because they often appear in the canon of the Holy See as tempters, representing the temptation of original sin. If you judge the power of those demons purely by the size of their wings and bodies, they will often suffer a big loss, compared to those demons with gorgeous or terrifying appearances, there are also some truly powerful demons who do not have much reputation, and they also look similar to ordinary people, but their strength is stronger than them, if you encounter them, you must not take it lightly. ”

"Don't worry, they're not enough to hurt me. Xu Changqing smiled, secretly remembering Bishop Matthews' words, but his face didn't care.

After that, Xu Changqing and Bishop Matthews chatted again, his life in England and Chen Jingguo's current situation, knowing that after dark, Xu Changqing said goodbye and left, and at the same time set the contact method. After Xu Changqing left, Bishop Matthews sat in the room in a daze, and after a while, he slowly stood up, sandwiched the two sketch letterheads in the Bible, quickly packed his luggage, and instructed the clergy apprentices serving outside the door: "Prepare the carriage immediately, go to England ** Hong Kong, and we will leave for England tonight." ”
