As the first rays of sunlight reached the top of the statue, the high priest at the head began to recite the words of prayer.

At first, Shi Nian was worried that he couldn't pray and would accidentally reveal his stuffing.

Unexpectedly, the language of these prayers was very brief.

And when the high priest says the last word, he pauses.

After the high priest stopped, several priests chanted in unison.

Then there are the spirit children and spirit girls.

Eventually, the crowd below began to pray.

Everyone made a sound at the same time, and that voice spread throughout the city.

Then there is the second prayer, and the third prayer.

It's still like this, layer by layer.

When all the prayers were over, the high priest took out a bottle of water and slowly sprinkled it over the crowd.

Then, like crazy, everyone rushed forward desperately, trying to be splashed by the water.

The high priests poured several bottles of water in quick succession and declared the end of this morning's prayer.

Shi Nian followed the example of the other priests and slowly retreated.

When they got off the high platform, the other priests dispersed.

Shi Nian stood for a while, but no one came to look for her.

She went back to her room.

Fang Cai hurriedly left, she hadn't taken a good look at Chenyue's room yet, so she could look for it and see if there were any other clues.

Back in the room, Shi Nian searched again.

Although he is a priest and sounds like he has a good status, Chenyue's life is very simple, and there is nothing extra in the room except for a bed, a table, and a chair.

Shi Nian looked around, and when she touched the bottom of the pillow, she couldn't help but move.

She touched a piece of jade slip.

"Xiaotong, investigate."

Xiao Tong probed and said: "This is an encrypted jade slip, only the owner of the jade slip himself can open it, if others want to see the things inside, the jade slip will self-destruct on the spot." ”

Can I open it?

Shi Nian used the power of faith in his body, and sure enough, he opened the jade slip.

She had just probed the contents of this jade slip, but she was slightly stunned.

In this jade slip, there are dense strips of paper.

There are only three words on it.

"Who am I?"

These three words, some are written in ink, and sometimes, they are written in blood.

The most recent words are all blood.

There are a few of the freshest ones, all written in blood.

Xiao Tong couldn't help but panic in his heart: "Host, how do you feel a little scary." ”

The newer the traces of these three words, the more distorted the writing becomes, and it looks like a symbol in hell.

Shi Nian was not afraid, but she still frowned.

She thought, she seemed to know the cause of Chenyue's death.

In this world where everyone believes in the god of a thousand machines, Tatsuki seems to be suspicious of all this.

Her fanatical beliefs made her doubt her own existence.

She didn't know who she was or what the purpose of her existence was.

It seems that she was born to live to believe in the god of a thousand machines.

It may have been a small suspicion at first, but as she questioned the world, her doubts about herself became more and more intense.

The power of faith that comes from faith has also begun to reverse.

Finally, one day, she died silently in the room.

The Power of Faith......

Shi Nian narrowed his eyes, this may not be a good thing.

The high priest said to cancel her three months of faith. It should still be a good thing for her.

It's late afternoon.

Another prayer came.

After this prayer.

The high priest took out an incense burner.

The three high priests first absorbed the smoke in front of the incense burner.

Then, it was the turn of the various priests.

Naturally, Shi Nian was not qualified to absorb because he was punished.

After the various priests had absorbed it, it was the turn of the other spirit children and spirit girls.

The cultivators divided up all the power of faith generated by the people.

At the end, the high priest glanced at Shi Nian and said indifferently: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, are you not convinced?" ”

Shi Nian quickly shook his head.

The high priest looked at Shi Nian expressionlessly: "This time, you can take the penance quota." Prepare tomorrow and go. After three months, he returned to the temple. ”

Penance slots?

What is this.

Shi Nian didn't dare to show his traces, but just responded respectfully.

The high priest gave her a cold look, said no more, and turned to leave.

Everyone dispersed again, and this time, Shi Nian did not return directly to the room.

She remained there for a moment.

Still no one took the initiative to come to her.

However, she had to take the initiative to find someone else.

Shi Nian looked at it for a while, and saw the spirit girl who knocked on her door in the morning, and she walked over with an expressionless face.

When the spirit girl saw her, she was startled, and bent down a little respectfully: "Lord Priest." ”

"Follow me." Shi Nian said coldly.

The spirit girl didn't dare to ask more, her body trembled a little, but she still followed honestly.

Shi Nian pondered, since the spirit girl came to knock on her door this morning, she might be the henchman of the original body, or a direct subordinate.

If you want to ask anything, it is the best way to ask her.

Take the spirit girl back to the room.

Shi Nian groaned for a moment, and his face looked indifferent.

The spirit girl was a little flustered and knelt down directly.

"Kneel what, get up." Shi Nian said.

The spirit girl shook her head again and again, but she was afraid.

Shi Nian understood that she was worried that she would be punished today and would be angry with her.

I don't know what kind of character the original body is, so Shi Nian simply stopped persuading.

She said tentatively: "You should be very happy that I am going out to do penance this time. ”

The spirit girl's body trembled even more: "How come? Yunxiu didn't dare. ”

This spirit girl's name is Yunxiu.

Shi Nian raised his eyebrows: "Yunxiu, I have been punished so heavily, I don't know if I can come back when I go out this time." ”

Yun Xiu's expression was even more frightened: "Although I can't harvest the power of faith for three months, with the power of the priest, I will definitely be fine." ”

"Really?" Shi Nian said quietly: "This outside world is so dangerous. I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Shi Nian looked like he was talking from the bottom of his heart, and Yun Xiu said cautiously: "Except for the city where the 188 temples are located, the outside world is full of uncivilized beasts. The priest should be careful, don't provoke these fierce beasts, and after three months, he will naturally be able to return. ”

Shi Nian narrowed his eyes.

188 temples?

An outside world full of ferocious beasts?

This small world, under the influence of faith, is really deformed.

Listening to Yunxiu's meaning, is there only 188 small worlds in this whole small world?

Shi Nian said tentatively: "Our temple is still a little smaller after all. ”

Yun Xiu also said softly, "Yes." If it is the First Temple, the territory of the city is a hundred times and a thousand times that of ours, and the cultivators there should gain how much power of faith in a day. ”

As he spoke, Yun Xiu's expression became a little yearning.

Shi Nian nodded, understood.

Sure enough, their temple, in the 188 temple, is probably almost the bottom of the existence.

Otherwise.

The cultivation of those high priests was only at the level of the tribulation period.

The temple at the top of the rankings, there should be the pinnacle power of this world.

It's just that this kind of power, Shi Nian doesn't want it.

Once you get used to practicing with the power of faith, you will be trapped in this world forever and become a tool to contribute your faith to the god of a thousand machines.

"Alright. I'm not here for three months, so you can do it yourself. Shi Nian said a word and sent Yunxiu away.

After Yun Xiu left, Shi Nian immediately packed up his things.

Penance for three months. For others, it is punishment, it is banishment.

For her, that's freedom!

A world full of fierce beasts, isn't that just the right time for her to level up! (End of chapter)
