784 There is no interest in going into a fight
"Jacques, tell me, Rosie, how are they doing now?"
Jacques was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to tell Xu Qian, or what not to say.
Xu Qian was irritable and urged: "Jacques, you tell me the truth." You said that you also want to be free from the shackles of the Holy See. It should be in the interest of your authorities to bring me into the ranks, right? β
Jacques sighed, "In the big picture, your hatred of the Holy See is indeed beneficial to us. But on a personal level, I don't want you to be in danger. You must know that this matter is not directly related to Huaxia, you can't use the power behind you to put pressure on the Holy See or force it, if you use your personal connections in the other world, it is easy to provoke a full-scale war between the two worlds, after all, the Holy See and the Superconscious Research Society and the Magician Alliance almost wear the same pants, they represent almost half of the extraordinary power on the earth. Unlike Daybreak, they are not a hostile force that everyone shouts about, and it is difficult for you to gain strong and broad support, so in this way, you only have yourself, even me, and I will not be able to help you in this matter at all. β
"Jacques, you don't have to say it. I'm not a nosy person, and if I hadn't had a one-sided relationship with them last time, I wouldn't have had an accident at all, and even if I learned about the cause and effect, I would only sigh. But Rosie is a good young man, and he is my friend, and since he is a friend, I have no reason to ignore it. Jacques, you are also my friend, and I think you will support my choice. β
Xu Qian's meaning, how could Jacques not hear it? If one day you need to go deep into the tiger's den without fear of strong enemies, I will do the same.
Having said this, Jacques couldn't avoid it, and he said slowly: "Rossi has fled!" It was Barre who traded his life for Rossi's chance to escape. But the others, including Rossi's brother RenΓ©, were all taken away by the Holy See. β
"Barre is dead? They want to use RenΓ© and Daniel to lure Rossi into the bait? Xu Qian reacted quickly, and immediately thought of the Holy See's intention to arrest people.
"According to our information, they are being held in a major seminary on the outskirts of Paris, indeed waiting for Rossi to throw himself into the net."
"You keep this badly damaged street and don't renovate it, I'm afraid they won't let it!"
"That's right! After the incident, before we could investigate, the Holy See informed us that they had done it and told us to leave the streets as they were. β
Needless to say, the purpose of leaving the street as it was was to inspire Rosie's hatred and increase the probability of him being killed.
"Jacques, if something happens to the monastery of the Holy See in your land, will you be held responsible?"
"Dive! Don't be impulsive! I know what you want to do, but you can solve this matter in other ways, such as negotiating with the Holy See, and with your current position in the monastic world, I am sure they will consider your weight. β
"Negotiations?" Xu Qian snorted coldly, "The rules of the monk's circle are problems that can be solved with fists, and they will not be like politicians." Rest assured, as long as you cripple them enough, they won't have the strength to look for you. He knew very well in his heart, not to mention why the Holy See had to catch Rossi, just Barre's life, the two sides couldn't get around!
"Another thing you have to pay attention to is that the Holy See has been able to stand for so many years, and no one dares to provoke the Van City, not only because of their own strength, but also because of the fact that the number of believers all over the world exceeds the population of any other country, how huge the power is. If you go to the Holy See to make trouble, it means that you are likely to face a billion people at the same time. β
"I know what I'm doing, and I have my coping for that."
Xu Qian hung up the phone and glanced at Qinglong, who was playing a game on the side, "Uncle Shi, are you interested in going to a fight with me?" β
"I'm not interested, and no one can beat me. Or is the game interesting. β
Xu Qian scolded secretly in his heart, "No one can beat you and you feel bored, and you have to get angry again after being abused in the game, it's really hard to serve." β
"You probably haven't seen magic in reality!"
"Magic? Like in the game? β
Xu Qian nodded slightly.
Qinglong suddenly put down his phone, his eyes glowing with gold, "That's okay!" I'll go! β
Monks and magicians are similar but different. It is said that the power of monks comes from faith, which they call the power of God, while the cultivation of spiritual power by magicians belongs to the cultivation of spiritual consciousness in the final analysis, rather than the cultivation of the physical body or the sea of qi. Xu Qian speculated that these two cultivation paths should belong to the outliers in the cultivation of immortals, such as demon cultivation, ghost cultivation, secret cultivation, etc., but this one somehow spread to Europe, and later split into two parallel paths. It's a pity that the lack of a sea of qi means that you can't climb the ladder after all, it may be that this method has lost the cultivation method of the sea of qi, and only retains the cultivation of spiritual sense, causing this path to become more and more crooked, and finally parting ways with the orthodoxy of cultivating immortals in Huaxia and forming its own system.
From the point of view of the ultimate goal of cultivation, the purpose of orthodox immortal cultivation is to become an immortal, but monks and magicians have cut off the path of cultivating immortals because they have no sea of qi, and their upper limit is equivalent to the realm of Taiqing, but in the case of the restriction of the Heavenly Dao, there seems to be no difference between the two, after all, immortal cultivation is also stuck in Taiqing and cannot go further. This can also explain that the monks have believed in gods rather than immortals since ancient times, and they never thought that people could cultivate into gods or exist side by side with gods, and that human beings could only prostrate at the feet of gods as slaves and servants, and that cultivation was in accordance with the will of the gods. And the idea of immortal cultivation is that people will conquer the sky, and after continuous cultivation, people can become the supreme existence, and the essence of cultivation is to go against the sky.
The mage also originated in the reverence for the gods at its roots, but as it developed, more comprehension of the laws was added. They began to explore the combination of human consciousness and unconscious laws and their application in various fields, and some people, after achieving some new successes, gradually became dissatisfied with the power of faith obtained by simply respecting God and God, but took the initiative to study the relationship between human beings and laws. This is extremely similar to the formation in the Immortal Cultivation Civilization. If it weren't for the fact that they were missing an extremely important link in their cultivation, then they would most likely return to the orthodox track of cultivating immortals, and eventually become monks similar to those who entered the Dao with a formation or with alchemy.
The Holy See, is an ancient lineage of monastic organizations, its sphere of influence far beyond the concept of the state, in the past long years, the imperial power in front of the Holy See relied on the divine right is just a puppet, to this day, although the control and influence of the Holy See has declined significantly, but due to the advent of the immortal envoys in the last twenty years, the country in the sphere of influence of the Holy See is once again facing the crisis of being controlled by it. For example, the popular government, represented by President Jacques Firadi, needs a world in which ordinary people are the main interests, and the clique of the friars, represented by the Holy See, dreams of restoring a society in which the people worship the supremacy of the gods.
The head of the Holy See is called the Pope, and there are four functional bodies: the archbishop, the cardinal, the deaconry and the inquisition. The archbishop is the head of the Grand Seminary, the first mission of the Holy See, which is equivalent to a prince, and in a large country such as France, the Holy See will appoint an archbishop. Cardinals are on the same level as archbishops, the difference is that cardinals generally do not leave the headquarters of the Holy See, which is equivalent to a Beijing official. One of the biggest differences between an archbishop and a cardinal is that the cardinal is essentially a candidate for the pontificate, and if the current pope dies, a new pope will be elected among the cardinals, while the archbishop is not qualified to take over the pope.
The deacons are the institutions that deal with the day-to-day affairs of the Holy See and ensure the proper functioning of the Holy See. The Inquisition, on the other hand, is a violent institution, and when the Holy See needs to solve the problem by force, it is generally the Inquisition.
The city of Vatican, the headquarters of the Holy See, is not located in France, but in its neighbouring Italy. Xu Qian and Qinglong want to kill Fancheng, Jacques is not easy to arrange, travel is okay, if you are accompanied by the French, Jacques will inevitably be burned on this side, which is not in the interests of the country.
