Chapter Twenty-Three: The Temple of God
A pair of middle-aged men walked side by side on the light-framed floating steps, which were the passage to the Great Temple of Khoringuppen, and the steps and the entire temple were so magical, unsupported but suspended in the air, Helois was simply stunned. Bryan was not surprised to see www.biquge.info Ctesis appear in the air with a solemn sound that shook people's hearts and then raised the temple from the ground. Now I suddenly remember, is the child born to Sarina already grown up, is she Tessis herself, as powerful as her?
"You'd better pretend to be commonplace, don't look around, make people think it's the first time you're here, Helois, it's going to reveal my identity. Brian reminded.
"Oh, but it's incredible. "Helois is still excited.
"Yes, this plane has made so many gods, and it is full of miracles everywhere. Brian changed the subject, "In the past, Congreve preached here, and I used to come to play at that time, and the temple had not yet risen to the sky, but had fallen on solid ground, and I thought it was very sacred and mysterious. ”
"And now?"
Brian sighed, "Actually, I want the temple to be a sacred temple anyway, but it's full of filth. ”
After walking hundreds of steps, they finally came to the entrance of the central hall of the temple, a huge arch made of polished granite, which was fifteen meters high in front of them.
"Everything is so magnificent, but it is not practical at all, there has never been a giant, come to the temple to pray, why build such a tall gate?"
"This door, not just for people to walk through, but also for people to see, like everything inside. "Back then, there were a lot of empty rooms and buildings in the Evacuation Farm, and my great-grandfather probably built it to show off its size. ”
"What do we struggle with in these things. Brian smiled and walked in, and came to the central hall, which was the main preaching hall, except for the huge pillars, there were rows of wooden chairs, and at the end of the chairs was a huge statue of the Most High God. A huge oil painting, in which there are clouds of mist, a giant with light, looming in the fog, and various golden buildings, also showing a corner.
"Do those fogs represent the heavenly realm, this is just people's imagination, what the heavenly realm looks like, maybe it is not the same as in the painting at all, St. Ossidian will faint when he sees this painting. Brian began to evaluate again.
"Is St. Ossidine easily angry?"
"I feel that he is the supreme god, who is almost omnipotent, and who has to do everything according to his own heart, but if he disobeys the slightest, he will inevitably lose his temper. ”
"You seem to know him well. Hellois laughed.
"In the past, there was a portrait of Tessis hanging here, very beautiful, very close to her personally, presumably she once came, showed miracles, people remembered her appearance, so it was a true portrayal, my adolescence, I often looked at the goddess in a daze, and even wanted to put my hand into her clothes, to touch it is not smooth. Brian didn't mince words.
"Blasphemous delinquent teenagers. "When you saw the true God, did you put your hand in it?"
"I don't dare, I'm still a little less courageous, but if I reach into your collar, I guess I still have the courage. ”
"You...... Don't you dare. Helois blushed.
This sentence has a hint of encouragement. ”
"Fart!"
Brian took Helois's hand and walked forward a dozen rows, finding a random place to sit down, and there were some believers nearby, who were also sitting scattered, and they didn't seem abrupt. The priests of the sermon had not yet arrived, and most of the people bowed their heads and prayed reverently. Brian also learned to behave, closed his eyes, and squeezed the girl's hand with his hand, Helois's body trembled, and he wanted to retract his hand, but Brian grabbed it hard, so he had to hold it with him, and his face turned crimson.
"I'm going to use my psychic power to drive a hundred Eyes of Scouting to make a comprehensive observation of the Church, and if there's a situation, you're going to remind me. Brian said.
"Got it, don't worry. Helois said, "But with so many Detective Eyes, will they be discovered?"
"No, it's all under my mind control, every eye has my intelligence, it will judge the situation on its own, and it will disappear automatically when necessary. Brian said, "And I've upgraded the Scout Eye, which can now not only see, but hear." ”
After Brian finished speaking, under his feet, gray light flew out along the ground, the color was very light, almost invisible, and the spiritual power had controlled them to a minimum.
After about ten minutes, the temple bell rang, and after twelve rings, the people stood up to welcome the arrival of the priests, and the morning sermon was about to begin. Herois looked around, and no one seemed to care, Brian was still sitting, and people were used to it, because after a long prayer, it was possible to fall asleep, as long as they didn't snore.
"Dear congregation, everyone wants to attain eternal life, how to embark on this path of light, Lord St. Ossidine tells us that only by purifying one's soul can we receive the gift of God. After the priest finished speaking, he raised his hand and at the signal, the choir began to sing the hymn. The singing is slow and sacred, and has been specially treated to have a disturbing effect. The expressions of the crowd became solemn and solemn, and they reveled in the singing, only Helois wanted to laugh, but she had to pretend to be solemn, and this performance was a torture for her.
"Every minute, every second, we can evolve our souls, as long as we hold fast to our faith, as long as we believe that the gods are about to be merciful, as long as we give everything we have to God. The priest's voice grew louder and louder as he sang in a taper voice. "All things are given by God, and all things exist because of God. Doubt, we will only be punished, and God will take back all what he has given, including our lives. ”
"It's really demagoguery, coercion, inducement, and intimidation, that's the doctrine. Brian sighed softly and stood up.
"You're done scouting, have you gained anything?"
"One thing, I actually heard the name Hughes. Brian replied.
"Where's my grandfather, where is he locked up?"
"I don't know, many places are closed, and the Eye of Investigation is not the hand of Investigation after all, and the stone door cannot be pushed open. Brian shook his head.
