Chapter 58: Divine Revelation!
"Welcome back, pious young man!
"The Templar Palace will open its doors for you!
"The Great Being will clear the fog of the road ahead for you and remove all obstacles!"
This week's rotating priest at Tassok Church, Lloyd Connery, has a smile on his face, like a kind old man looking at his grandson.
I couldn't see the look of chagrin at being woken up in the middle of the night.
The corners of Cheng An's mouth twitched, and he pulled out a smile: "Thank you." ”
Father Lloyd called two maids dressed in black and waved:
"The petition fountain has been prepared for you, and before that, you will take this gentleman to bathe."
"Please come with us."
The two young women were in good shape, and their appearance was eight or nine points similar, and they were actually twin sisters.
Cheng An looked at their iconic smiles, his expression froze slightly, and he remembered some bad experiences.
Wraith dolls?
Hell, who invented this, and how the dolls are made of twin sister flowers!
The first time he crossed the Star Gate, he almost swallowed two Wraith Dolls alive, but he still has lingering palpitations.
However, the puppets who want to come to the church are usually fed very well, so there will be no problems, and Cheng An followed into the small cubicle.
Torlies and Lolo waited outside in the prayer room.
These two dolls were very caring, and directly undressed Cheng An and let him sit in the bath with warm water.
They carefully wiped Cheng An with a towel, massaged him with slender hands, and said gently:
"Sir, please relax."
"Bathing is an important ritual."
Cheng An's expression was slightly soothing: "Okay, thank you." ”
It is said that dolls will also produce some "humanity", so Cheng An is very polite.
The twins are so skillful that they don't tell that they are not real people, and they are very realistic and attentive.
Cheng An slowly closed his eyes and began to review this encounter.
First of all, blasphemy is not allowed and is absolutely taboo.
As Daozi said, blasphemy can still be enjoyed in the vacant church of the five righteous gods.
Because when people say blasphemy, they are just blaspheming the churches.
But Cheng An is different, he is blaspheming the God of War, a clearly active god! He's really blaspheming!
It is already a miracle that he can survive the blasphemy.
As a result, not only did he not hide, but he also ran to jump his face, which is simply a typical example of looking for death.
Of course, he was also forced to be helpless.
Cheng An didn't think about taking the opportunity to escape.
However, the middle-aged man in the robes of the mechanical church gave people the impression that he was too powerful and almost inhuman.
It is impossible to escape successfully, and the result is bound to be exposed, suspected by the middle-aged man, and directly shot to death.
Cheng An believes that the reason why Toris came to him to do a divine revelation is most likely because she and Luo Luo have been suspected by the other party after telling the middle-aged man about what happened in the mine this time!
Otherwise, why don't you directly say reward yourself once on the way back?
It's not a reward at all, it's a temptation!
As for not coming to directly probe her body, it is possible that Toris stopped her in this regard, so in the end, it became her to express her gratitude and give a revelation?
"Is this because she thinks that everyone has a life-and-death relationship, and she doesn't want to tear her face with me? I still have a little conscience, but it's a pity that ......"
"Well, there is another possibility that the middle-aged man has completed a visit without me being aware of it at all, but no abnormality has been found in my body, so I thought of a divine revelation method and let the true god come to check it again!"
"Has the world's malice toward blasphemers reached this point?"
Cheng An sighed slightly.
It's useless to guess, he can only respect the other party's arrangement and choose Divine Revelation.
This is undoubtedly a decision that goes against the teachings of the ancestors.
When you become a blasphemous, you still run to the gods?
I don't think there's a second thing in the world that could be crazier than this.
But now, Cheng An has no choice.
Moreover, he also has his own theoretical support.
Through this period of study in the forum, Cheng An knows that divine revelation refers to the ritual in which believers pray for God's favor and ask God to give him divine grace through prayer and dedication.
But how great is God?
You pray, but He may not answer.
You have to be religious enough to get God's attention and give you a gift.
I don't know how many devout believers in this world can succeed in divine enlightenment and become transcendent.
Cheng An's hope is:
As long as my divine revelation fails, you can't say I'm a blasphemer!
Cheng Anxin recited silently.
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"
After a while, Cheng An, dressed in a red bathrobe, walked out and said to Father Lloyd: "Priest, I am ready to accept the gift of the God of War. ”
"Please follow me."
Lloyd led the way with a smile and led Cheng An into the petition pool he had seen last time.
Luo Luo's father, the middle-aged man sitting on the bench, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes turned to the Wishing Pool, to Cheng An, who was standing in front of the Wishing Pool, like a little white sheep.
Syllable!
Suddenly, Lloyd closed the door at once, cutting off his view.
"......" The middle-aged man's expression was slightly stunned.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Lolo asked.
"Nothing."
"By the way, Dad, didn't you say that you came here to welcome a big man in Kowloon?"
“…… Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”
The middle-aged man closed his eyes again, his brow furrowed slightly.
He didn't want his daughter to fail on her trip.
Across the entire line of heaven, I didn't see the so-called convoy from Bai Yujing, let alone find the Daozi according to the agreed signal.
Very bad mood.
Lolo was bored with himself, and went to look at Toris again, and found that the latter's lips and eyes were closed, and he didn't want to pay attention to people.
"I always feel that something is not quite right between my father and Sister Kenji...... Do you think it's not worth the money? Speaking of which, sending him divine revelation is divine revelation, and it's not a big deal, so why are we still waiting here? ”
The blonde Lori's eyes gradually became dull.
……
……
Inside the petition pool.
Fr. Lloyd prayed earnestly and reverently, and then lit a white candle.
It is made of special material, filled with silver oil, and as soon as it is ignited, it quickly turns into a few drops of white liquid and falls into the wishing fountain.
Then, the whole pool of water boiled.
These holy waters flow up the body of the pot and are poured back into the pool from the spout, exuding an alluring fragrance.
At the same time, the stone walls around the pool, dotted with 10,000 crystals, lit up one after another.
The entire trevi fountain instantly became dazzling and dazzling, as if it had really attracted the attention of the gods!
Cheng An's Adam's apple rolled a little.
The more miraculous it is, the more detrimental it is to him.
He even wanted to tell Lloyd, Father, that we can do whatever we want, and that we really don't need to be so solemn and formal!
But at this moment, the priest, who had been a little snobbish and a little not very serious, Lloyd Connery, was full of majesty.
He pointed to the boiling pool, and said quickly in an emotionless tone:
"Jump in, let go of your spirit, let go of your guards, and welcome God with all your heart!"
"Only then can you hope to be favored by the gods!"
"Go!"
Cheng An had no choice but to take off his bathrobe and jump in.
He's a big man, and there's nothing to be ashamed of, anyway, there are only two 'inhuman' people of the opposite sex present.
Poof!
Cheng An slowly walked into the center of the pool, feeling the warmth on his skin, and there seemed to be a warm current that was constantly washing over his body.
He was so comfortable that he almost wanted to scream, and his body, which had been tired all day, gradually forgot his tiredness under such a warm current, and every cell in his body was rejuvenated.
"It's amazing...... This holy water seems to have the effect of warding away the disease?
"Those believers, if they can save enough money to come to such a time, even if the divine revelation fails, they will definitely not suffer! At least it can heal some of the body's ailments.
"For some elderly people who are dying, it can even play a role in rejuvenating life and prolonging life!"
Cheng Anxin was amazed.
Lloyd said solemnly beside him: "The holy water will cleanse your body and soul, and you have ten minutes to pray here and ask God to send down His glory and majesty and bless you!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a golden clock the size of a basin.
As soon as it struck, the pendulum began to swing back and forth, timekeeping.
"Don't be distracted, offer your most loyal faith to the great god of war!"
Father Lloyd was very skilled, and although this set of rhetoric was rarely used, he knew it by heart.
Cheng An was very cooperative, crossed his hands and fingers, looked up at the huge god of war mural on the dome, and looked silently praying.
Seeing this, Father Lloyd knew that his mission was complete, and the next thing to do was to wait.
He took the two puppet waitresses and walked into the prayer room next to them, no longer making a sound.
However, although Cheng An was indeed praying at this moment, what he said was......
"I'm sorry, you're a good god."
"But what I believe in is Mother Earth!"
"May the earth bless me!"
Anna Cheng prayed very, very quietly.
What he was chanting was one of the five gods who had long since ceased to respond to believers.
His sanctuary is the womb in the zodiac.
He is Mother Earth!
Of course, among them, Cheng An did not chant a single sentence of the corresponding prayer of the God of War Church.
Nor did he recite the few special prayers of the Mother Earth Church that he knew.
The god of war is real, and since you want to do false prayers, the best thing to do is not to do anything that involves the other party.
Cheng An believes that there are countless people who pray to the god of war every day.
At this moment, at the same time, the number of people praying to the god of war is probably more than 10,000 people.
And he is not pious enough, so why should the other party, as a god, pay attention to him, a little shrimp?
Touch the fish, play dead, and swing!
Every day, so many people want to be noticed by God, but they can't ask for it.
As long as I'm salted enough, I won't be noticed!
"I don't even have that pitiful, even a little piety toward you."
"Then please respect yourself, don't come to follow me! Please leave your attention to those who truly believe in you; ”
"I'm here today just to do something good, really, I don't need your blessing!"
If Lloyd knew what Cheng An was doing in the petition pool of the God of War Church now, he would probably be so angry and frightened that he fell on the ground and trembled.
As Cheng An continued 'praying', the water in the pool began to shake and shake constantly.
Cheng An felt it, but the water was "boiling" just now, and at this moment, it should be because in the holy water, the sentient beings' wish power accumulated through the continuous prayers of believers is being consumed, so there will be shaking.
Ten minutes later.
"There are no visions, no decrees from God, no prophecies!
"Looks like I should have escaped?"
"Hehe, my theory is correct, as long as I am salted enough, God will not bother to care for me."
"As long as He doesn't come to me, how can he find out that I am the blasphemer?"
Cheng An slightly let go of the heart that had been hanging.
Ever since he had been forced to come in, he was afraid that the next moment a shadow of God would come out of his head and make a loud voice saying, 'This man has blasphemed God and should be burned at the stake.'"
Seeing that there was no vision, Cheng An walked out, cleared his throat, and pretended to say: "Father, I have finished praying, may I ask, has my divine enlightenment succeeded?" ”
Lloyd looked up at the pendulum, and when he confirmed that the time was up, he stood up and comforted in a soft tone:
"Lost Lamb, your piety has been heard by God.
"Go back and keep waiting, maybe it won't be long before you become a true priest!"
The meaning of this is that you have failed, get out of here, or come back next time with the money.
Of course, Lloyd was using a euphemism.
Every believer who is willing to spend 10 million for divine revelation is the most devout supporter of their church.
They are all lost lambs who need their guidance.
Cheng An naturally knew the meaning of his words, he was quite relaxed in his heart, but he said with extremely obvious regret on his face: "I know, priest, I ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt the pool shake again.
And the magnitude of the shaking is huge.
“?”
Father Lloyd and Cheng An looked up at the same time.
At the spout, an extremely dazzling and brilliant brilliance was condensed.
That piece of light paved a heavenly path that led directly to the dome of the God of War mural!
In the mural, it is relatively vague, and only the basic figure of the 'god of war' is depicted.
Crash!
The giant seemed to have opened its eyes and looked down.
A breath of destruction and the coming of the end of the world permeated the air.
Cheng An's heart was immediately covered by a huge, irresistible sense of fear.
He could no longer look directly at the mural above his head, and his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground uncontrollably!
He supported it with both hands, and it was very difficult to keep himself from lying on the ground.
But it only lasted for less than ten seconds, and then, Cheng An's whole person became a big font.
I don't know how long it took for this powerful, as if it could sweep away the breath of the universe, to gradually subside.
There was silence in the entire room of the petition pool, as if nothing had happened just now.
Cheng An moved his fingers with difficulty, then his wrists, and his thighs.
The body that had just been washed was already soaked with sweat.
He finally stood up, closed his eyes slightly, and realized that he had a few more messages in his head.
“…… I was blessed by God and gained two powers;
"The first is that my physique has increased again, and my running speed, endurance, and short-term burst speed have all improved;"
"The second ability is...... I learned the skill [Cross Slash], which spreads three meters in front of me, and I can use the blade to slash out a huge cross-like sword aura......"
Cheng An controlled his spirit and turned into his body.
A drop of golden blood is spontaneously swimming in his veins, warming his body.
He is free to control this drop of blood because it is a gift from God.
“……”
Cheng An pursed his lips and looked at Father Lloyd.
“……”
Father Lloyd was also soaked with sweat in his robe, and looked at Cheng An silently.
Neither of them spoke.
The eerie silence lasted for at least a minute.
Finally, Father Lloyd straightened his waist, his face did not change, and he said without the slightest embarrassment: "Congratulations, you have been blessed by the Great Being!" Now the oath ceremony begins, please read it with me! ”
Cheng An nodded.
Lloyd took the lead, Cheng An followed sentence by sentence, and the two read aloud one after another:
"I, junior priest, Cheng An, take an oath here!"
"Never betray the palace, and offer loyalty to the god of war!"
There are not many oaths, only two short sentences, loyalty is everything.
Then, Lloyd took a deep breath and roared violently: "Remember the purpose and doctrine of the Church of the God of War!
"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"
Cheng Anxin moved, and after hearing these words, the drop of divine blood obtained from divine revelation in his body unconsciously began to heat up, as if as long as he expressed something, he would release his power and greatly bless him.
And the divine blood in the spiritual ocean has no reaction at all.
…… In other words, this doctrine contains special powers, which can pry the divine blood in the body and release power?
Toris had used the skill of drawing a knife in her chest, and it was so powerful that she shouted it out before she was released......
This teaching, similar to a spell that activates skills, must be recited before it can be released? Or can you pronounce it to increase the power of the stunt?
I don't have time to think too much, I need to think about it slowly.
Cheng Anfu reached the heart, pounded his right fist on his left chest, followed the rhythm of the priest, and shouted:
"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"
Father Lloyd smiled innocently: "Congratulations, Priest Cheng An, please come with me to the front next, in addition, you also need to choose your own station." ”
