Chapter 371: Gods
"I'll try."
Xingjun was helpless, he was the lord of Xingchou City, but he was reduced to being a wage earner for Xu Shen, he felt a little sad, but his fists were not hard, so he could only bow his head and eat deflated.
Soon, Xingjun made a divination prediction.
The rapid consumption of ruin power brings results to divination.
"Found it, over there."
Xingjun pointed in the direction of the inner city.
"Okay, lead the way, let's go."
Xu Shen said that before going to the sea of ruins, he had to be fully prepared, although he had the memory of Pamela's sea of ruins, but the danger there had to be fully exerted, so he thought of finding the black snow to enhance his strength.
What's more, the inner city is dangerous, and it is not a problem for Heixue to stay in the inner city for a long time.
"To the inner city again?"
Xingjun obviously has some rejection of the inner city, how comfortable it is to be a free city lord in the bottom city, and he has to look at the faces of those people in the inner city, but he can only accept it helplessly for Xu Shen.
Xu Shen explained that Xue Haining took care of Guangming City, so he went to the inner city with Xingjun.
"Who are you targeting?"
"Night Rat King."
After entering the inner city, Xingjun divined again, and adjusted his divination several times one after another, and finally locked the whereabouts of the Night Rat King in a city area.
This is not the city where the Seven Great Families of the Inner City are located, but the headquarters of another major force in the Inner City, the Moonlight Religion.
In a sense, the power of the Moonlight Religion even surpasses the Seven Great Families in the Inner City, and the religious believers are all over the districts and have also infiltrated into various families, even within the Seven Great Families, there are many heirs who have been infected by the Moonlight Religion.
Xu Shen remembered that there were at least five kings in the Moonlight Religion.
The four bishops alone are the four kings, not counting the pope and the hidden kings.
"You can only locate this area, you can't lock it."
The place where Xingjun's divination prop was pointing, swaying, like an out-of-control compass, he frowned, and said, "There seems to be something around the other party that is interfering with the result, it may be that it is aware of us, or it may be a passive ability."
Xu Shen stood on the edge of a tall building, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in front of him.
In the thriving part of the city, you can see several churches, and you can occasionally see some believers and nuns wearing moonlight robes on the streets.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, which brought back many bad memories for him.
But he didn't have the impulse, the Seven Great Families may not have a close relationship with the Council, but this Moonlight Religion must have dealings with the Council, otherwise, the monarch of the Council would not allow such a force to control the minds of the people in the inner city.
Religious believers are sometimes even more cohesive and frenetic than the family cohesion.
"Go to the Pope, he should know."
After a short stay, Xu Shen said to Xingjun.
Xingjun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say to Xu Shen: "That Moonlight Pope heard that he is a dangerous person, although he is not a monarch, but it is also quite terrifying, this Moonlight Sect has a long history, and I heard that there seems to be an ancient myth, it is rumored that there are gods in the sect, even the seven major families dare not provoke, we still ...... it."
"Gods?"
Xu Shen looked at Xingjun: "Do you think there is a god in the world?"
Xingjun opened his mouth slightly, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen it, but I think maybe there is."
"If there really is a god, who is on the side of this god, how can he condone the ruins to slaughter mankind." Xu Shen asked rhetorically.
Xingjun smiled bitterly: "Maybe God has no emotions and doesn't care about the slaughter of sentient beings at all, God is just a noun."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, glanced at Xingjun, and did not speak.
He pondered, "Anyway, let's find out first."
Seeing Xu Shen's insistence on this, Xingjun was helpless in his heart and no longer persuaded him.
The two shuttled all the way to the headquarters of the Moonlight Sect.
The church is so majestic that it is like a carved work of art, and even the construction of such a beautiful model is extremely complex and difficult, let alone the grand and huge body of the church.
There is one outside the church
The three majestic figures stand tall, and they are the gods believed in by the Moonlight Sect.
God, Moon Lord.
Divine Servant, Angel of the Moon.
Two graceful, elegant, and holy angels gathered around the Moon Lord.
And the face of the Moon Lord is merciful, carved vividly, and it is the appearance of a young man with a majestic figure.
Xu Shen glanced at it and felt a hint of awkwardness, and he found that the two moon angels he served seemed to be more realistic.
On the contrary, the moon lord has a hollow and false feeling.
Under the gaze, Xu Shen suddenly felt that the two moon angels seemed to have been resurrected, and there was a glimmer of divine light in their eyes, as if they were turning their heads to look at themselves.
The moment they looked at each other, Xu Shen felt an extreme strange feeling.
Extremely evil, extremely twisted.
That huge distracting thought instantly hit his mind, making him feel like his stomach was twisted and he wanted to vomit for a moment.
He woke up suddenly.
And then I realized that everything remained the same in reality, and everything before seemed to be an illusion.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and he looked at the Moon Lord again, and found that the Moon Lord in the middle was like a dead stone, no matter how he stared at his face, there was no change.
On the contrary, it was the two angels next to him that made him dare not look at it more.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xu Shen saw Maeve's figure sitting on top of the Moon Lord's head, stretching her white and tender calves, and slapping the Moon Lord's head with a smile.
Xu Shen retracted his gaze, thinking of Xingjun's words just now, he couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart.
Is there really a god?
The illusion brought by the two angels just now made him remember it vividly, and until this moment, he still didn't dare to look at it anymore.
You know, now he is a king, and he has reached the apex of mankind.
The terminal of the evolution of life.
Further up, could it be that he became a god?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen couldn't help but glance at Maeve.
If that's the case, wouldn't Maeve be a statue...... God?
Looking at Maeve's white and lovely appearance, Xu Shen's heart suddenly softened, if there is a god, maybe it is like her, right?
He glanced at the two angel sculptures next to him again, but this time he found that the two angel statues seemed to have become much more ordinary, and it was just an illusion before, although the angel sculptures were lifelike, they were not as vivid as before.
Xu Shen frowned slightly, he shook his head, maybe it was really an illusion caused by overthinking.
Without further thought, he followed the Star Monarch across the sculpture and entered the Moonlight Temple.
The church shrine was brightly lit, and it was not long after nightfall, but the worshippers still gathered here to listen to the night's prayers.
The Moonlight Cult is the largest religion in the inner city, and the main god it worships is the Moon Lord.
Secondly, there is its own complete mythological beliefs, such as the goddess of the night, the goddess of hunting, etc., all of which are under the servants of the moon lord, just like in some ancient myths, there are god kings, god queens, love gods, etc., each performing its own duties.
"A fog covers the world, and the light of truth cannot spread over the earth."
"The real life is only seen in the loss of oneself......
Whispered chants echoed through the church.
Xu Shen heard some familiar prayers inside, and his eyes changed slightly, revealing a bit of cold light.
When the two of them looked around, a light voice suddenly came:
"Why are you two visiting late at night?"
A priest in a silver robe walked out from the depths of the church, with a slender figure and a thin face, his eyes reflecting cold light like diamond-shaped glass shards.
Xu Shen glanced at the other party, not an old acquaintance.
He said calmly, "We thought we were old friends, but the other party seems to be hiding from you, I don't know if your sect has seen him."
"Oh?"
The priest's face turned cold: "We only have believers here, not prisoners."
Xu Shen squinted slightly: "You know I'm looking for it
Who is it?"
"I don't know." The priest shook his head.
Xu Shen didn't play any more dumb riddles, and said indifferently: "His name is the Night Rat King, he owes me something, I need to pay it back, I hope your sect can teach people out."
"To be called a king is also a king." The priest said indifferently, "We don't have any other kings here, you are in the wrong place."
"Really?"
Xu Shen raised his hand, absorbed a stone on the ground into the palm of his hand, and then threw it out, and the precise ability was activated, this stone must hit the Night Rat King!
With a whoosh, the stone whirled and turned, and then flew towards the depths of the church.
But it didn't take long to fly before it was shattered by a ruin force.
Xu Shen sneered slightly, and said, "It seems that the person I'm looking for is here, are you planning to cover it up?"
The old priest said indifferently, "I said that there are only believers here, there are no prisoners, do you want to bully the believers in our sect?"
Xu Shen squinted and stared at him: "Do you mean that as long as you enter here, you will be covered to the end, as a religion, serve the gods, don't make trouble for your gods!"
"You'd better not offend my lord, or I'll leave you two behind today." The old man's eyes were cold, and his attitude was very resolute.
Xingjun's face changed slightly, and he said to Xu Shen, "Let's go, there seems to be more than one king in this sect, and I always have a feeling of being stared at when I come here."
He felt that this Moonlight Sect was very weird, and he couldn't say that he was uncomfortable.
Xu Shen thought of the strange angel he had glimpsed earlier, his face was slightly gloomy, he looked deeply at the old man, and said, "Since the Moonlight Sect wants to protect people, I hope you don't regret it."
After saying that, he didn't stop any longer, and turned to leave.
Seeing that Xu Shen was not impulsive, Xingjun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and withdrew with Xu Shen.
Walking out of the Moonlight Temple, the two retreated to the tall building far from the street, staring at the behemoth that was entrenched on the ground, feeling like a giant beast, which seemed to be staring at them as well.
"The Moonlight Sect is not simple, even the Seven Great Families don't want to provoke them easily." Xingjun said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen thought of the Jiang family's distress before, and it seemed that he had also asked for help from the Moonlight Sect, but he was ignored.
He felt that this Moonlight Sect was not only backed by the Council, but also very secretive.
After looking at it twice, Xu Shen didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
After walking a distance, Xu Shen asked Xingjun to continue looking for Black Snow.
Xingjun divined again, and after being positioned, the two left the city and rushed to another place.
"You seem to be able to lock the location of the Night Rat King before, and you are more accurate than me, is that your ability?" Xingjun asked Xu Shen.
Xu Shen said perfunctorily: "I can only detect it at close range."
"Really?" Xingjun expressed skepticism.
Xu Shen didn't explain much, and not long after, the two came to the city area where Heixue was located, which was one of the seven major families in the inner city, and the Qin family was located.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, usually the urban area where the seven major families are located is relatively strictly controlled, and if the black snow is hidden here, most of them will be searched.
Xingjun divined again, accurately located, and found that Heixue was indeed at the Qin family's headquarters.
"That ruin of yours seems to have been imprisoned by the Qin family." Xingjun couldn't help but look at Xu Shen, he went to the Mo family to rob people and make a big fuss before, but now is it possible to do it again in the Qin family?
Sou.
Xu Shen directly told Xingjun to answer and broke into the Qin family's main mansion.
He throws stones, locks on to the black snow, and finds it deep underground in the manor.
"Why don't you say hello when a distinguished guest comes?"
Two figures flew out of the Qin family's manor, an old man and a young man, when they saw Xu Shen and Xingjun, their eyes changed slightly, but their expressions remained easy-going.
Xu Shen asked, "Are you holding an A-class ruin, with a body like hair intertwined?"
"Huh?"
Qin Feizhou's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "What do you two call them?"
"City Lord of Light, Xu Shen."
"Star Sorrow City Lord, Star Monarch."
"It turned out to be the two city lords of the bottom city...... Qin Feizhou couldn't help but look at Xu Shen twice, some time ago, the rumors of the Han family, the aftermath were still echoing in the inner city, I heard that the Mo family also had an accident, it was related to this bright city lord, and the scandal had spread for thousands of miles.
"That big ruin caused chaos in my Qin family's territory and was suppressed by us." The young king next to him also saw that Xu Shen was not easy to mess with Xingjun, but he was still a little unhappy, after all, this was the Qin family.
"We can sell you what you want."
"Sell?"
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed, and the cold light flickered: "That's my friend, you said to sell it to me?"
The young king's face changed slightly, he felt that he had regressed, he didn't expect Xu Shen's tone to be so strong, he said with a cold face: "Since it's your friend, it doesn't matter if you give it back to you, but how can you make up for the people she slaughtered and the evil she caused?"
"How many people did she kill?" Xu Shen asked.
"Hundreds." The Young King snorted coldly.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed: "Then I want to ask her personally, after all, my friend usually doesn't kill people."
At the beginning, he had already trained Hei Xue, and Hei Xue had not hurt people for a long time, so he didn't believe what the other party said.
"How can the words of the ruins be taken seriously?" The young king was angry and said, "The ruins are extremely cunning, you are friends with the ruins, I advise you to dispel such thoughts as soon as possible, we only have a prey and a hunter relationship with the ruins."
"Bring her to me." Xu Shen didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly wanted to see Heixue.
The young king frowned and said, "This great ruin is imprisoned in the dungeon, and once it is released, it can easily get out of control, and it will ...... then."
"I'll take care of it." Xu Shen said.
"This is my Qin family's manor, if there is chaos in the ruins, it will hurt my Qin family, how can you be responsible?" The young king has no good air.
"I'll pay for it." Xu Shen said coldly, "Our four kings are here, are we still afraid that one ruin will not be completed?"
The young king was annoyed in his heart, and glanced at Qin Feizhou beside him, who nodded slightly at him.
