Volume 2 Heavy Snow in the World Chapter 3 Pope
In the western territory of the Great Sui.
After the autumn rains, the early morning light fell on both sides of the ancient road, and a forty-year-old farmer, wearing a hat, hanging a white towel on his shoulder, and carrying a sickle, stepped on the sea of wheat in the rice field one by one.
The sound of birds rang out in the sky.
They turned their heads and looked in one direction.
At the end of the ancient road in the distance, in the middle of the golden wheat sea, a snow-white horse, pulling a white wooden carriage, drove slowly over.
Behind the white wooden carriage, the sound of horses' hooves tapping and tapping.
Dozens of white young men in linen robes sat on horseback, and the sound of the horses' hooves was neat and uniform, and it did not sound scattered, and it did not ruin the peace of the morning.
It was a well-trained procession of wagons.
This carriage procession does not look like the escort of a wealthy businessman, nor does it look like a personal escort for the children of a gentleman: the former does not take the country road, if he wants to rush to the night, for safety, he will definitely start from the avenue;
Every horseman in a white linen robe bowed his head and said nothing, as if he was carrying a container of utensils behind his back, and the linen robe was covered on his body, and his face could not be seen clearly, there were men and women, thirty or forty people, with a gentle aura on his body, and there was not the slightest anger.
Tranquility, pristine.
The white horses in the forefront, with soft eyebrows and red manes, looked extremely upright.
The white wooden carriage looks very clean, except that it is clean...... Unremarkable, the carriage hangs a circle of red ropes around, cocking the eaves corner, and a small wind chime hanging down from the eaves corner is swaying in the air with tinkling bells.
If a practitioner is present, he may be able to recognize that the bell hanging on the carriage is the "Three Clear Bells" of Taoism.
The "three clear bells" of Taoism are scarce, and only those with high power and weight have them, and the owner of the carriage hangs the three clear bells on the eaves.
Because sitting in the carriage is the Pope of Xiling World.
And the pedestrian behind the carriage is a Taoist in a hemp robe.
They are devout apologists from Xiling, and they are also fanatical followers carefully selected for the Pope by the Sanqing Pavilion of the Taoist Sect.
Every "linen-robed Taoist", sitting on a white horse, staring at the white wooden carriage, if there is a mountain in front of him, then he will cross the mountains, if it is the sea, then he will cross the sea...... The people in that carriage were where their lifelong beliefs belonged, and they didn't care where they came from or where they stopped.
It is a great honor to be able to wear a linen robe and travel with the Pope.
The road was bumpy, but they sat upright, and after a few days and nights, the Pope slept in the carriage, but they had hardly rested, and their spirits were still well maintained, and their backs were straight.
The moment they set off from the bottom of the gate of Xiling Daozong, they maintained this posture, without saying a word, regardless of the question, maintaining an even forward, following behind the white wooden carriage, walking the mountains and lakes, the Great Wall and the holy mountain gate in the west, the rich city and the ancient road in the countryside...... The Pope's trip means that the whole world will see the teachings of Taoism, and they will bring the spirit of Taoism to all parts of the Great Sui world, so that more people can identify with this kind of following and persistence.
When encountering poor people, the Taoist will give alms to the Pope, the city lord of the Great Sui will give the highest standard of respect and treatment, and the Pope of the Taoist sect will show his mercy to everyone.
The new pope has just been on the throne for less than a year, and no one has seen the appearance of this pope before this trip out of the Sanqing Pavilion.
......
......
The cardinal was brushed over and over again by a warm hand.
The bird that traveled around was violent by nature, and it was difficult to give in to outsiders, and the owner of that hand did not have any cultivation, gently brushing his hair, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and the warmth in his eyes seemed to melt the ice of the world.
Zhou You looked at the young Pope sitting across from him on the other side of the carriage.
A year ago, the old pope died, and the election of the new pope did not have any fierce battles, and several elders of the Sanqing Pavilion have been electing this young man called "Chen Yi", after becoming the Pope, Chen Yi's information and information have become the most private information in the world, even if it is the palace master of Zixiao Palace, he cannot thoroughly investigate his life.
This seems to be a lucky person who has been favored by the heavens.
Sanqing Pavilion gave several palace masters a rudimentary piece of information, Chen Yi was an ordinary family in Xiling, and before he was received to the Taoist Sanqing Pavilion as a candidate for Pope, his family died early and became orphans.
The reason why he was able to become a candidate for the Pope was because of Chen Yi's rare "divinity".
Zhou You quietly looked at Chen Yi, a young man who was less than twenty years old, looking at the cardinal with a smile, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura on his body, perhaps it was the natural expression of the superior after reaching the top, even if the eyebrows and eyes were soft, but the reason why the cardinal did not struggle...... It's not that it's too comfortable and unwilling to resist, but that the latent will is constantly vigilant and can't resist.
Chen Yi was wearing a simple white robe, his voice carried a hint of emotion, opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the golden world outside, and said, "Mr. Zhou You...... The weather is cooler. ”
Zhou You frowned slightly.
"After the rice is ripe, it should be cut off in time, dried before the weather is cool, and the rice ears become straw after drying, which can be fed to the cattle and sheep at home, survive the cold winter, and the winter is wet, and the straw is bundled in the cattle pen to keep it dry. Chen Yi had a hint of remembrance in his eyes, and he laughed softly: "Mowing the grass is actually very tiring, you can't stop for a day, and one person has to hug such a big one-"
When he said this, he let go of the hand holding the cardinal and made a gesture of hugging.
The cardinal flapped its wings and flew out of the carriage with difficulty, with a clear chirp.
Zhou You felt that this young pope was not simple, according to the death rules of the Sanqing Pavilion, the pope could not be practiced, Chen Yi's divinity was overflowing but not dispersed, and he took it just right, if he was born like this, then he was a lucky person of the first class.
One more point or one less point is a life-threatening disaster.
The crazy woman in Luojia Mountain, Xu Qingyan of Ganye Temple...... In this world, there are too few human beings born with divinity.
So Chen Yi can become the Pope?
Zhou You calmly thought that this might be a misfortune, if he had not become a pope and started his cultivation with the divinity in his body, he would have been more successful than most people in this world.
The young Pope, looking at the rough man who was stepping on the field with rice in his arms, with a hint of indescribable complexity in his eyes, said softly: "Before sitting in that seat, I did farm work for a few years and grew up eating hundreds of meals....... I haven't been back for a while. ”
Zhou You nodded suddenly.
Chen Yi looked at the young man in the field, carrying a big basket on his back, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and said with a smile: "In the past, I had a hard time, kiln sweet potatoes, digging soil, building kilns, and lighting fires...... I hope they will have a better life in the future. ”
He knocked on the carriage, and a linen-robed Taoist followed.
Chen Yi looked at the people who were stunned, and said in a soft voice: "Tell them that these Rice Dao Sects want them, and buy them and give them to the city lords of Anle City and Grass Valley City." Besides...... A subsidy of three taels for a family, and an extra three taels for the elderly and children at home, may the Taoist sect be with them. ”
After hearing this, the linen-robed Taoist said sincerely: "I am willing to follow the Pope. ”
Chen Yi nodded, looked at Zhou You, and asked softly, "Sometimes...... Faith exists to make the world a better place. That's not a bad thing, is it?"
Zhou You looked at the young Pope, he saw the shadow of the poor children in the countryside, and also saw the light of the moderate sect of Taoism, which was a contradictory feeling, but he did not hate Chen Yi.
"Yes, that's a good thing. Zhou You nodded and said, "But it's a pity that the previous leader of the Dao Sect didn't do these things well...... Hope you do a good job. ”
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I know that I was born for this, and I will dedicate my efforts to this in the future...... Make this world a better place. ”
Zhou You sighed with emotion.
This is a teenager with big ambitions.
He thought of another poor boy from Xiling, who was also from Xiling, these two people were from similar backgrounds, but their experiences were completely different, if they waited until they met...... Maybe there will be some philosophical disagreement?
The silence in the carriage did not last long.
Chen Yi's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
"Mr. Zhou You, I want to ask, what kind of person is 'Ning Yi' in Shushan?"
The young pope in a white robe, when he ascended the throne, did not set off much storm, Sanqing Pavilion supported Chen Yi, and almost without controversy defeated other competitors, it is precisely because of this that the news of the Taoist sect's transposition ...... The sensation caused within the four realms was not as violent as the little uncle of Shushan.
Chen Yi was very curious, this carriage had already reached the Shushan realm, and it wouldn't be long before he could meet the mysterious little uncle who was the number one on the star list.
When the news of Xu Zang's death was released, not only the Taoist Sect, but also the four realms of the Great Sui, many holy mountains, no matter whether the grudge was good, most of them would come to Shushan to take a look in person.
Is Xu Zang dead......
And the little uncle of Shushan called Ning Yi, who is sacred?
