Chapter 24: The Power of Faith
The Holy Light Branch in Yak City was not having a good time at all, and almost no believers came, so the old hall master Bai Hetian personally rushed from the Shangdian City Branch to sit in the town and wanted to find out. In the end, it was found that the residents of Jacques City believed in the gods under the influence of the first 1,000 residents, and worshiped the gods every day in addition to making a good living. This made him feel a lot of pressure, thinking that now that the Nanzhou Continent was divided and fighting, there were more and more people who believed in the Holy Light Academy, and the Holy Light Branch Halls everywhere were overcrowded. But I feel like a lonely boat in this Jacques City, and there has been no progress for a few months, and even the people in the nearby Shangdian City have secretly worshiped the gods. The Holy Light General Academy asked him to track down Mentor Yu Feng, who had not heard from him for more than half a year, but there was no progress, and he couldn't help but become more and more suspicious. Yu Feng seems to have evaporated from the world, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
On this day, Bai Hetian was depressed and lost his temper at his subordinates, and a strong man walked into the Holy Light Hall, a young man who was 1.9 meters tall and less than 20 years old. Bai Hetian hurriedly went up to greet him in person, this is almost unimaginable in other branch halls, the people of other branch halls are lining up to ask to join, the branch hall master is the existence of the entire city second only to the city lord, and it is difficult for the people to see each other.
"Excuse me, why did this little brother come to my Holy Light Hall?"
"Holy Light Hall, what is Holy Light Hall for?" the young man looked curious.
Seeing this ignorant young man, Bai Hetian was a little angry, there were still people in Nanzhou who didn't know about the Holy Light Hall. But this Yak City Shengguang Hall has not been a person for a long time, Bai Hetian in order to set an example for his subordinates, patiently introduced: Our Yak City Shengguang Branch is one of the fifty branches set up by the Morton Capital Shengguang General Hospital on the mainland, we mainly absorb believers, propagate doctrines, give charity, protect the people, believe in my Shengguang Hall can be safe for the whole family.
"Oh, I just seem to have gone to the wrong place, my family is safe. The young man thought it was really just a mistake, and turned to leave.
"Brother go slowly, I believe that my Holy Light Hall can still be promoted and make a fortune, I have countless wives and concubines, and I am in good health," Bai Hetian didn't want to give up like this
"Are there really so many benefits?" the young man was intrigued
"Of course. My Holy Light Hall already has tens of millions of believers in Nanzhou, how could I lie to you!" Bai Hetian smiled, the young man still had to tempt him!
"Then how can I become a believer?" The young man asked
"If you want to become a believer in my Holy Light Church, you need to baptize for seven consecutive days, recite my Holy Light Sutra silently for three months, and then donate a drop of blood to get the protection of my Holy Light Church. Of course, these things are only for an hour a day, and they won't delay you from other things. Of course, the most important thing is that you must have no distractions!" Bai Hetian solemnized
"It's not difficult, when will it start?"
"Start anytime!"
"How about I want to bring my family over tomorrow?"
"Of course then!"
"See you tomorrow!" said the young man and left with a happy face. Bai Hetian looked at his back, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, and then shook his head, secretly thinking that this was an innocent child, how could it be?
The young man who came out of the Holy Light Branch Hall was Xiao Tian, after the cultivation of the eighth chapter of the Tao Sutra, he discovered the power of faith, but then he thought of a possibility, so he came to the Holy Light Branch Hall to find out.
Returning to his residence, Xiao Tian felt the seriousness of the matter, he had crossed a step in his cultivation just by relying on the faith of tens of thousands of people in Jacques City, thinking about what kind of terrifying level the faith of tens of millions of people on the Holy Light Hall Continent would reach if it was used for cultivation. Although he didn't know how the Holy Light Branch would use to collect the power of faith again, he felt that they must have been doing this all along, and who was the Holy Light General Institute absorbing these faith powers?
So Xiao Tian called Duan Zhaoqing and asked him to transfer a thousand sergeants and arrange a secret mission.
It's not that the Holy Light Academy hasn't noticed the changes in Jacques City, it's just that they have more important things to do now, and this matter has to start with Xiao Tian's departure from Jinshan City.
Hu Chao returned to the Hu family and saw that the Hu family was bloody, his father died tragically, and he was grief-stricken, and the old injuries on his body had not healed, so he couldn't afford to get sick. He once thought about finding Quan Enqi for revenge, but when he thought of the lives of more than 80 people in the Quan family, he pressed this idea again, after all, it was his father's fault that first imprisoned the Quan family. No matter who the murderer was, his father couldn't get out of it, and he became more and more depressed.
The lord of Jinshan City was killed, the head of the Hu family was killed, and the dragons were leaderless for a while, although the Hu family was in charge, but the cities captured outside were independent one by one, including York City, which raised troops at the same time. The northeastern part of Nanzhou was in turmoil, attacking each other. People were displaced and rivers of blood flowed. However, the Holy Light Branches in the cities were thriving, overcrowded, and full of believers.
On this day, Steward Hu, who was in his fifties, came to Hu Chao's room, and last time he was not in Hu Mansion because he was out on errands, he did not become the ghost of Quan Enqi's knife, and escaped to death. looked at Hu Chao, who was lying sick on the bed, and sighed:
Little master, although we are all in pain when the head of the family dies, but the road damage in the future is not gone?
"Hu family, look at what the Hu family has done!" Hu Chao sneered weakly, he was worried about the affairs of the Quan family.
Steward Hu looked at him: Don't you know the hard work of the head of the family? He worked hard to make the Hu family the first family in Jinshan City, and had a far-sighted plan to unite with York City to raise troops to claim the king, preparing to dominate Nanzhou, and finally died tragically. Is it all just for himself? Don't forget that you're his son. In the end, it's all for you! If you don't inherit his legacy, you are so depressed that you will let him die!
"Don't talk to me about this!" Hu Chao interrupted him
He ignored it and continued: "Even if you want to kill me, I will finish today, the 500,000 Shengao soldiers outside are eyeing my Jinshan City, if you are obsessed, the hundred-year foundation of the Hu family will be cut off from you! If you are still a man, you should look like a man! Even if you die on the battlefield, don't live here, otherwise how can you be the ancestor of the Hu family!"
"That's enough, you get me out right now!" After speaking, Hu Chao struggled to get up and pulled Steward Hu out of the door and closed the door, and Steward Hu had to leave angrily.
Outside the window, the cold wind blew on the window lattice, making a gurgling sound, and Hu Chao, who was sitting on the ground, muttered to himself, man, I am a man! He turned around and walked towards the Hu family's secret room
In the quiet secret room of the Hu family, the pitch-black weapons dug out of the gold mine were still hanging there, as if mocking the weakness of Hu Chao standing in front of him. Hu Chao opened the Holy Light Shield, turned the Holy Light with both hands, held the big sword in his hand, and pulled out the sword again with both hands. As expected, a purple-black light flashed out again, the holy light shield shattered as soon as it trembled, and there was another opening nearly a foot long on Hu Chao's chest, but Hu Chao held the hilt of the sword with both hands and the sword body did not open, the internal injuries intensified, a burst of qi and blood surged, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out with a wow. The blood disappeared in an instant when it touched the sword body, but a wisp of black qi slowly came out, but it did not dissipate above the sword body, and gradually condensed into a shape like a human head. Hu Chaoda was taken aback, and quickly let go of his hands and stepped back.
The head of the black gas condensed spoke and smiled:
"Hey, humble human breath, I can't imagine that these ants are still alive, but this strength is too weak!"
"You, what are you?" Hu Chao was shocked as he watched the changes he saw
"I am God, the God of all human beings. ”
"God, then why are you in this sword?"
"Idiot, because I'm the sword god! For your sake's sake, I'm going to make a deal with you. What do you think?"
"What do you want me to do?" Hu Chao became vigilant, this powerful sword god still needs him?
"It's very simple!You seal the faint holy light in your body, and I will give you a powerful sword god power!Make you the most powerful man on the continent!" The black shadow seemed to know Hu Chao's inner desire, and he did what he liked.
"It's so simple?" Hu Chao felt that there would be a problem inside, but the temptation was indeed great
"Since I am a sword god, I must use the mastery of human beings to exert the greatest power, otherwise what will I talk to you about?If you don't worry, I can make a soul contract with you to ensure that it will not hurt you, oh, you don't know what a soul contract is! Don't resist" The black shadow seemed to explain patiently, and when he said this, this trace of black qi floated towards Hu Chao.
Hu Chao didn't have time to resist at all, the black qi went straight into his mind, it was an introduction to the soul contract, if one of the two parties violated the contract and the soul was scattered, it would die immediately and could not be stopped. It should be relatively safe in this way, Hu Chao thought secretly.
"Okay! I promise you!" After Hu Chao finished speaking, another black qi came into his mind, but it was the contract of the soul of the Sword God, Hu Chao raised his hands and sealed the energy of the Holy Light Sutra on his body from top to bottom, and the wound on his chest began to bleed, and now he was the same as an ordinary person, because he saw that his cultivation of the fourth layer of the Holy Light was simply vulnerable in front of the Sword God, and he also lost confidence in the Holy Light Sutra, and now Jinshan City was on the verge of falling and could not allow him to cultivate slowly.
After Hu Chao did all this, he held the sword body again, and the black shadow also returned to the inside of the sword body, and there was no longer a purple and black sword light shooting out, but Hu Chao didn't notice that a trace of black line quickly entered the body along the meridians of his hand holding the sword.
Hu Chao slowly pulled out the entire big sword, and saw a few words engraved in the middle of the sword body: The Damocles sword At this time, Hu Chao also had a strong aura echoing.
"Naturally, I will not destroy you, a lowly human being, when I drink enough human blood to recover myself, I will be able to control you, then you will be me, I will be you, and no one in the universe can destroy me! Hahaha, I've been waiting for 10,000 years" The black shadow in the sword body roared inside.
Outside Jinshan City, 500,000 Shengao Jinjia soldiers marched in mightily, originally when the head of the Hu family was there, the Jinshan rebels were like a rainbow, and there were victories and defeats between the two armies, and they became a stalemate for a while, and the cities responded one after another, and the Shengao Kingdom had no way to take them. With the death of the head of the Hu family in Jinshan City, the alliance between the rebels collapsed, and the Shengao army was overwhelmed. drove straight into Jinshan City. And there were only 100,000 old and weak soldiers left in Jinshan City to defend the city, which made Steward Hu, who temporarily took on the burden of command, anxious. After scolding Hu Chao, he felt that the general trend had gone and was irreparable.
