Chapter 47: Antecedents and Consequences
"I happened to go to church on a whim today, haha," Neo himself probably thought was incredible, "ironic, right?" It's a big joke that a vampire actually goes inside a church! However, I did want to see Christmas Diffuse in New York today, and who knew I would see a wonderful scene. ”
Chen Xi was speechless.
"I didn't expect you to have some ability, you can actually confront that bishop, you must know that the bishop of a diocese needs to be appointed by the Vatican, of course, except for your China, your government does not sell the Vatican's account." Neo smiled knowingly, "None of them are weak. You didn't expect those clergy to have so much power, did you? ”
Chen Xi smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect that in my impression, these missionaries should be ordinary people. He never dreamed that the Catholic clergy would be as if they had special abilities.
"Where can it be so easy for outsiders to know? In everyone's impression, monks are just ordinary people who are proficient in and practicing Buddhism, but who knows that those monks in China are more powerful than the other? Neo asked rhetorically.
Although Chen Xi didn't understand where he was referring to the monk, thinking about the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple, this was enough to surprise foreigners.
"We are originally opposed to the Holy See, and the Catholic Mission in the United States also belongs to the Holy See, which is now the Vatican. I saw that they were not pleasing to the eye today, so I wanted to help their enemy, but later I found out that it was you, and I remembered that I had been with each other for more than ten hours, so I decided to save you. Neo gave his reasons.
After listening to his explanation, Chen Xi felt that there seemed to be something unreasonable in it. He thought for a moment and asked, "Shouldn't vampires be afraid of crosses, holy weapons, and the like?" And the church gathers the strong beliefs of the believers, and there should be a very strong force in it, how dare you go to the church? ”
Neo smiled wryly, "Who told you that vampires are afraid of crosses?" In this world, only the weak are afraid of the strong, an ordinary cross, there is no divine power, where can the blood clan be restrained? Only those true holy weapons that have been blessed with great power can have a restraining effect on dark creatures such as the Blood Clan. However, you seem to have forgotten my identity, I have already said in the church, I am a vampire royalty, not an ordinary low-level blood clan, my strength is far greater than that of any bishop, how can I be afraid of the church? ”
Chen Xi didn't know what to say, because he didn't know much about it.
"That's it, kid, I won't tease you anymore, I'll talk to you in a different capacity." Neo smiled mysteriously.
Chen Xi felt a little strange, what kind of identity did he change, he looked up at that Neo suspiciously.
Suddenly, his heart throbbed violently, and the glass goblet in his hand fell off and fell to the ground. Although the thick, soft carpet did not break the glass, the red wine inside had been poured out.
"Oh, why are you so surprised, you see, I poured all my good wine, and you haven't even drunk a sip of it!" Neo shook his head.
Chen Xi only found out about his gaffe, but he couldn't care about it so much, and stammered: "How is it possible...... How so? How did you become Taichen?! Have you met Taichen? Seeing that the vampire Neo in front of him had become a teacher and friend in prison, Chen Xi really couldn't calm down, could it be that Taichen had been released from prison, and this Neo was asked by him to take care of himself?
"I'm Taychen, and my name is actually Neo Taychen." The burly Taechen sat down, a smile on his face.
The Taichen in front of him is completely different from the cold-faced Taichen in the prison, Chen Xi can't believe that they are the same person, and Taichen has lived with him for several years, how can he be a vampire?
"I promised you that I would tell you where I came from. I'm going to tell you a little bit about it today! ”
Neo Tachen was originally from the Vampire royal family of Northern Europe, and his family is the most pure-blooded vampire descendant race, and they are born with much more power than the vampires of the mixed blood family.
Vampires live a long life, but their lives are not very smooth, they will encounter catastrophes from heaven every once in a while, ranging from decades to hundreds of years, if they dodge, they can continue to survive, if they can't dodge, and they can't resist, they may disappear.
In order to escape the latest catastrophe, Taichen has been traveling around the world, hoping to find a better place to escape this catastrophe. More than 10 years ago, he arrived in China, where his vast territory and favorable environment allowed him to stay at ease and wait for the catastrophe to pass. Anyway, they have a long lifespan and can wait patiently.
But what should come will always come, and even if he came to China from Northern Europe, he still can't escape the catastrophe. On a stormy night, Taechen was chased by an irresistible thunderbolt, and when he fled in the form of a blood bat, he was seriously injured and fell to the ground. At that time, it was when Chen Xi and Zhang Xueyou came back in the evening.
Chen Xi had seen Neo suck blood and seen his strength, so he could believe that he was a blood clan. Hearing this, I realized that he was the blood-red giant bat he saved that night.
"You were being chased by the thunderbolts? Didn't we almost be killed by lightning by you? "Thinking that the vampires who were so powerful in him were all chopped to the ground like dead dogs, his two children who had no power at that time really walked on the death line.
When Chen Xi was a child, he heard the old people say that when there is thunder, some people who have done things that hurt the sky and some spirits will be hacked to death, so when there is thunder, the monsters will hide, and the bad guys will not dare to go out. Vampires are a type of monster in China, right? I didn't expect there to be such a thing,
"Yes, in fact, you were all very dangerous at that time, because although the heavenly thunder would not deliberately split you, but if you stand next to me, you will naturally be affected."
"Fortunately, I was blessed with a great life, and I finally got fine, and I brought you back, so that you were not hacked to death." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"At first, I couldn't figure out why the thunder didn't come down, but then I understood. In fact, it's not your life that is blessed, it's the Buddha statue! ”
"Which Buddha statue?" Chen Xi didn't react for a while.
"It was the Buddha statue you brought with you that night, and it was the one who saved me at that time."
Obviously, I saved you, so do you want to save your life? Chen Xi thought to himself, but he didn't say it.
"It was a statue of Avalokiteshvara, which was given to me by a monk that night. Is it really a relationship? ”
"Of course, first of all, you have the heart to save me, so you are my savior. But you don't have that ability, and that bodhisattva statue of yours has a very powerful mystical power on it. It is that mysterious power that makes it impossible for the thunder to be cleaved, and I am also under its divine power. Taichen said with emotion.
"Is it true? Why did I leave the Bodhisattva statue on the table for so long without feeling its mystical power? Chen Xi will be skeptical.
Taichen laughed, "Because you didn't have any strength at the time, where can you feel the mystery in it?" Why haven't I left, hiding under your bed? It's because it can protect me, and more importantly, the mysterious power on the Bodhisattva statue actually made my injuries heal quickly, and it also gave me great benefits! ”
Saying this, Taichen's face was solemn and reverent, "I'm almost about to believe in Buddhism." ”
This attitude made Chen Xi wonder: "What benefits did you get?" Actually made you ...... (Chen Xi wanted to talk about vampires who kill people without blinking, but held back.) )…… This Bloodline wants to put down the butcher knife and let go of the slaughter of the teeth? Why didn't I get a little benefit? ”
Rao has lived for hundreds of years, but Taichen couldn't help but have an excited look on his face, "The good thing is...... I am not afraid of the Light now! The holy light of the Holy See has always been the nemesis of dark creatures, and it stands to reason that the light of the Buddha is also holy and sacred, but I don't know why, the light and power of the Buddha contained in the Buddha statue give people infinite warmth and kindness, and I am not afraid at all, nor does it hurt me. ”
"Later, when I recovered from my injury, I realized that I was no longer afraid of strong sunlight, which was irritating and uncomfortable, although it did not hurt me. The ease with which I can go to church has a little to do with that, and I don't feel like I'm afraid of the Holy Light Hallows, and today I proved it for myself. Thinking that he didn't have to be afraid of the Holy See's holy light at all, Taichen even had the momentum to kill the Vatican.
Chen Xi didn't think it was a big benefit not to be afraid of the sun, and he still didn't know much about the holy light, so he couldn't taste Taichen's joy. He jokingly said: "That doesn't seem to have solved your blood-sucking problem, if you really believe in Buddhism, you have to be vegetarian and can't suck blood, so don't starve you to death?" ”
"First of all, to correct the problem, not all Bloods have to suck blood. The lower the blood clan, the more they need to suck blood and need blood to replenish their strength. As long as the people of our family grow up and fully develop the inherited innate power, they will have no shackles of bloodsucking, and they don't need to use blood as food and replenish strength. Of course, if I wanted to suck blood, I could do it. ”
"You still hurry up and tell me why you became Taichen, I still suspect that you are Taichen, if you are really Taichen, what about the original Yang Qi? You're not going to eat him, are you? ”
Taechen laughed, "Not really. I went with you when your parents came to visit you. Your parents got into the prison car, and I looked at it, and only this person was in better shape, and it was easy for people to find out if he became a policeman, so I became the prisoner. ”
"What about Yang Qi?" Only then did Chen Xi know why Yang Qi had changed since he came back from the hospital.
"Gone. Although it was inexplicable, it was too late for him to be happy when he let him go, and he had already found a place to hide by himself. Taichen said, "You saved my life and allowed me to survive for a long time, so I decided to repay you." Ten or eight years to protect you is nothing in my time. ”
Chen Xi finally understood the cause and effect, but he didn't know what to say.
