After staring at the statue of the goddess of light for a long time, An Ling turned to Sheena and said:

"Sheena, can I ...... Do you make a "prayer of purity" for a statue of God? I have always admired the Light very much, and the pilgrimage is full of sweat and it is difficult to vent it, can you give me this opportunity? Let me express my deepest admiration to God, and let me satisfy this cathartic pilgrimage. ”

"This ......"

Hina looked very embarrassed for a moment, frowning slightly.

In churches, the clergy cleansing the idol is called a "ritual of piety", because it is almost in direct contact with the idol, so it can only be done by a good clergy or a very devout believer.

It is very unorthodox and very inappropriate for someone outside the church to do the "prayer of piety". But An Ling has helped Xina a lot, not to mention the previous life-saving grace, but now he has helped her for free, which makes Xina feel difficult to guarantee. An Ling's "worship heart" for the light is clear to Sheena, and now An Ling is making this request with deep affection, and Sheena is not easy to refuse.

Looking at the good-looking young man in front of him who was one or two years younger than herself, with a pair of emerald sincere and pure eyes, Hina gritted her teeth, and finally agreed:

"Well, Anling, you can do the "Ritual of Purity" for the idol, but it must be done under my direction. ”

Hearing Xina's answer, An Ling immediately showed a somewhat strange happy smile on his face and said

"Okay, it's natural. Sheena, thank you for understanding me. ”

The thought of himself as a demon to commit such a "blasphemy". An Ling was so excited that his heartbeat accelerated a little,

Sheena blinked, then took a deep breath and said:

"You wait here for a while, I'll help you prepare the necessary items."

After speaking, she made a quick and simple etiquette in front of An Ling, and turned to leave.

An Ling was not impatient, and waited quietly, admiring this simple and down-to-earth church, and was in a happy mood.

Starting tomorrow, he will officially integrate into the life of the world as a person, and this belated beauty is too late, so that many of the beautiful desires and emotions that are human beings have long been forgotten, but it doesn't matter, he will find them out little by little.

This world without the protection of the gods is extremely fragile, and the surface prosperity is already in danger, An Ling must seize the time to enjoy it, and in the next few years, the world will be full of withering.

After waiting for a while, Sheena walked in through the side door of the church with a basin of water and a clean and plain white gauze.

"Let's get started, Anling."

"Hmm."

An Ling nodded and walked over to the statue of the goddess of light with a faint smile.

Sheena closed her eyes, her hands lit up with pure breath of light, and she dipped in the water.

She gently stirred the basin of water, and under her movements, the water in the basin slowly became clearer and cooler, even crystal clear, giving people a sense of holiness.

Then, Hina picked up the gauze and soaked it in water, gently took it out, and held it in front of An Ling.

An Ling blinked, took the gauze with a smile, and asked:

"How do you get started?"

Sheena pursed her lips in embarrassment and said:

"Start with the toes of the idol and scrub them carefully, naturally moving upwards, always keeping your head down and reciting God's teachings, remembering, don't ...... your hands Direct access to those offensive fill-ins, you're a sensible kid, right? ”

"Well, I'm going to get started, then?"

An Ling didn't say much, and after nodding slightly, he held a long wet gauze in his hand, slowly covering the toes of the idol in front of him.

Great, holy goddess of light, goddess of salvation, goddess of dawn, can you feel the dirtiest, most wicked, most terrible demon brushing your toes and scrubbing your divine body?

Can you feel the extreme filth? The ultimate evil? Extreme blasphemy?

As An Ling's hands gradually scrubbed upward, his heart was gradually filled with pleasure because of the blasphemy, and the excitement made his brain tremble, and the satisfaction filled his body.

Standing in the church is a statue of a girl with a lantern, dressed in a simple and mysterious gown, and her face is blurred under the hood. Holding a lamp in one hand symbolizes hope and light, and holding a cross on his chest in the other hand symbolizes salvation and purification.

The pale gray statue is not a living thing, but a simple, delicate and beautiful stone. There was no reaction under Anling's "serious" scrubbing,

And An Ling also scrubbed the statue of the goddess under the calm gaze of Xina throughout the whole process.

"Ahh Praise be to you, great and holy goddess of light! You are salvation! You are hopeful! You are the light! You are the most pure and beautiful ...... in the world."

Because he was too satisfied, after scrubbing the idol, An Ling couldn't help but sing aloud to the idol in front of Shena, and the evil taste in his heart made him can't help but make this blasphemy a little deeper.

He wants the Goddess of Light to receive a blasphemous compliment from the dirtiest and foul-smelling demon of the abyss!

The little subgrade literary brilliance in the memory of the bard was brought into play by An Ling at this moment, and the whole church retraced his sonorous and enthusiastic eulogy.

And Xina on the side was not moved by An Ling's pious actions, but frowned, revealing a somewhat unbearable posture.

"Alright, Anling!"

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl interrupted An Ling's loud praise of the gods.

An Ling stopped his movements, turned his head to look at Sheena, and wondered:

"What's the matter, Sheena, did I use the wrong words to upset you?"

Hina shook her head in annoyance and said in embarrassment:

"No, I just don't think you need to do such an exaggerated action......"

"Forehead ......"

An Ling tilted his head and said:

"I don't quite understand. Is it wrong to sing the praises of God? ”

Sheena sighed and whispered:

"Anling, the statue in front of you...... In this day and age, all the added meaning aside, it's just a sculpted, somewhat good-looking gray stone, and that's it. ”

"You don't have to make too deep associations, and you don't have to be too ...... Too expressive. These are illusory and unrealistic, without the slightest meaning. ”

"Huh?"

An Ling blinked curiously and said:

"Sheena, as a sacrifice of the gods, it's not good for you to say such things, right?"

Xina calmly looked at An Ling's words, and slowly looked at the stone statue in front of her.

"It is an indisputable fact that God is asleep and will not respond to the world, even the Pope approves of it. We should recognize the facts, keep our devotion to God in our hearts, and refrain from vain and meaningless actions. ”

"Is that so?"

Sheena nodded slightly, looked at the idol again, and said:

"I've really rarely seen someone like you, Anling. The gods are asleep, sacrifices, prayers, holy sacrifices, and so on are meaningless. Even though I'm a light priest, I haven't prayed to the goddess for years. ”

In this era, even sacrifices no longer pray to the gods?

An Ling put away the smile on his face, only to feel that there was a lot less fun time in his heart.
