233. Silently do my best to bless my heart
Gogorin's father and daughter were to be executed, not in Cambydes, but in a place called the Altar in the mountains north of the vein, which was only a few dozen kilometers away from the place where the Holy See of Cambydes, which was not very far from the mobility of a master of magic. The sacrificial platform is actually a huge and steep stone mountain, the surrounding mountains are dangerous and dense, there is only one path to climb the cliffs on all sides, the top of the mountain is very flat and open, and there is an execution platform built since ancient times. It is a place where heretics and heretics are punished, and evil elements from the dark forces are executed, and the sacrificial altar is also called the closest place to God.
The sacrificial altar is inaccessible in the deep mountains, and there is also the protection of the magic circle around it, and there must be a Holy See master on guard during the execution, and it is unlikely to forcibly attack the sacrificial altar. Gu Ying's plan was not to start at the altar, but to escort the father and daughter to the altar, the best place was a valley not far from the altar, from that valley there were two roads to the Gambides, and only one road in the direction of the altar, Gu Ying planned to ambush at this three-way intersection.
The twenty-four rescue teams were divided into two groups, the first group was a team of eight people, planning to kill them from the other road when the execution team passed through the three-way intersection, creating chaos to attract attention, and the other battle team of sixteen people suddenly flew down the mountain in the confusion, quickly rescued the father and daughter of Golin, and escorted them to move immediately. Wu Tong and the others had already opened a secret path in that place and went straight to the sea, walking by water, not sailing far at first, but blending into the busy merchant fleet along the coast of Aladdin, and then eight people drove the fast boat to gallop in the direction of Nice City, attracting the pursuers who might arrive.
The eight men on the assault mission and the eight men who moved in the direction of the city of Nice acted with a mortal heart, like moths to a fire, a plan that was risky and could have come at a great cost. But there really is no better solution. The rescued Goeling father and daughter will travel by sea, around a large circle of thousands of miles, in the Duchy of Tulip6, and transfer to Eva's Tey Castle. The person in charge of receiving in the Duchy of Tulip is Eva.
This is Gu Ying's plan, Xiao Bai frowned and pondered for a long time after listening to it, and finally spoke: "Have you ever thought that in order to save two people, you may have to sacrifice many people, especially those sixteen, what will happen if you don't have time to escape?"
Gu Ying sighed, "Things are no longer completely under my control. They all have the heart to die, after Wu Tong said the plan to save people, even if we don't save people, Veris will do it herself, they need to transfer and respond, otherwise they can't save people if they sacrifice, I can only try to arrange it. ...... Personally, I strongly disapprove of such a suicidal act, but I know that you want to save Helen, and I will do my best to do whatever you want to do. It's a pity that I can't think of a better plan. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "What do I do in this plan?"
Gu Ying: "You can't do anything, you have to know your identity, you are sent on behalf of Hainan to express your gratitude to Yoge, not to attack Gambides." Speaking of this matter, it should be an internal affair of the Holy See, and Kunlun cultivators cannot travel thousands of miles here to interfere, let alone do it directly. There are also masters in the Zhiwei Building, but they can't be exposed, and neither can you!, so I came up with this plan, and the people involved in the action are all magicians from the city of Nice. It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Kunlun cultivators. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Speaking of which, it has something to do with me, I will think about it again, and I will finalize the plan of action after going to Mount Cambydes tomorrow." ...... Do you need to discuss with the masters in the Zhiwei Building, even if you secretly help reduce casualties. ”
Gu Ying: "I've been waiting for you to come, this matter should be decided by you, our plans and plans haven't been told to the Kunlun cultivators in the Zhiwei Building." I also want to tell you one thing, Dan Zicheng, the senior brother of the Three Dreams Sect, has a lot of criticism about you coming all the way to the Holy See to present the Xuanming Scepter this time. If you don't save three points of face, I'm afraid you will be scolded very badly. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Dan Zicheng, I know, he is the eldest disciple of the Mei Alliance Master, we have dealt with each other but have never met, how could he hear about this, and what he said reached your ears again?"
Gu Ying: "Master Mei Meng, Master Fahai, and several seniors in Zhiwei Lou have all rushed back to Zhixu, and now the number one master in Zhiwei Building is the elder of Zhengyi Sect and Xi Zhenren, who is the master of Zeren, the current head of Zhengyi Sect, and the person in charge is Dan Zicheng, the eldest disciple of the Three Dreams Sect, and the other two disciples of the Three Dreams Sect, Dan Guocheng and Dan Youcheng, are also in the Zhiwei Building, and that Ah You used to know each other. ...... Dan Zicheng said that you did this a little too much. It will inevitably become a symbol of flattery to the Holy See, and the Lord of the Mei League has always insisted that the Kunlun cultivation community and the Western Holy See are on an equal footing, and there is no difference between the high and the low, let alone recognize any theocratic will. You have come all the way to Gambides to show goodwill, and as the head of the Kunlun faction, you will inevitably be criticized. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "I also know that this is too much, it's good that Dan Zicheng didn't scold me for being a traitor, but I have my plans, since I want to save people." What is the point of sacrificing one's own fame? Helen's life is more important than my false name. ”
Gu Ying: "After I arrived at the Roba Alliance, I met Helen once. She is indeed a beautiful and kind girl, and many people think that she is the most beautiful female priest in the Holy See. ...... After you saved her, Helen probably won't be able to stay here anymore. She's cute, isn't she? If you like her, I'll like her too. ”
Xiaobai patted Gu Ying on the shoulder: "Now is not the time to say this, I don't have a ...... with her Are you jealous?"
Gu Ying put her face on Xiao Baidi's chest: "If I were really jealous, would I still spend so much energy to help you save her?" I know that you have nothing to do with her, but what does it mean that you have traveled thousands of miles to save her? I am afraid that the future will not be up to you." ...... In fact, in terms of interests, Mr. Collint and his group of craftsmen are much more useful to you, if you can only save one person, who will you save? Emotionally, you must be willing to save Helen first, right?"
Bai Shaoliu didn't answer this question, but said, "Wu Tong is coming soon, let's get dressed first, right?"
Gu Ying raised his arm and sat up on him, and said coquettishly: "You took it off for me, and you also want you to put it on for me with your own hands." ”
Xiaobai sat up and hugged her soft body into his arms again: "There is still half an hour until seven o'clock, it's too late!"
......
"I've seen the owner...... I miss me!" Wu Tong saluted Bai Shaoliu as soon as he entered the door, and then got up and hugged Xiao Bai. I haven't seen Wu Tong for a few months, and he has changed a lot, he turned out to be a white-faced scholar with glasses. But now the edges and corners of his face are a little more resolute and shrewd.
Xiaobai punched him in the chest: "Tell you not to come to the adventure, why are you still here?"
Wu Tong: "The owner of the village is here, can I, as the protector of Zahuai Mountain Villa, not come?" You want to save Helen, I also want to save Philip, how can I say that he is also my friend, I heard that he did not say my name in the Holy See Inquisition, it is too hard...... Eva has received your great favor, and this time she knows what we think, and of course she wants to help. I can't stop it. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Eva, are you coming with you?"
Wu Tong: "I let her stay in the Tulip Principality to prepare to respond, strengthen the protection of the castle, and if it is exposed, I will fight with that gang of bastards!"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's better not to be exposed, but it is also appropriate to be fully prepared." ...... How's your relationship with Eva going?
Wu Tong was slightly embarrassed and said: "It's just a heart, it's no different from a person." ”
Xiaobai punched him again: "Congratulations!"
Wu Tong: "Don't congratulate me yet, I see that you and Miss Gu have also achieved positive results?...... Miss Gu, huh?"
Gu Ying blushed on the side and said, "Don't talk about this. How's it going?"
Wu Tong Zhengse said: "There is no problem on Veris's side, the people have been secretly assembled in Maro City and can be used at any time, and everything has been arranged on my side." There is only one question, will Helen and his daughter be taken to the sacrificial altar for execution? ”
Bai Shaoliu: "I'm going to Gambides tomorrow, and the specific plan of action will be finalized, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”
Gu Ying: "Don't mess around in Gambides, be your guest of honor, and don't force anything to happen." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Don't worry, I have my plans." ”
Gu Ying: "Do you need to explain to Dan Zicheng?" Tell him what you really think in private." Lest you be mistaken. If you want, I'll arrange for you to meet him secretly tonight. ”
Xiao Bai shook his head: "When I come back from Gambides tomorrow, you will arrange for me and Dan Zicheng to have a secret meeting, and I will go to investigate the terrain tonight." ”
Gu Ying: "I suggest you don't meet with Veris, she doesn't know about you yet." ”
......
The world-famous Mount Cambydes is actually not very high, it is the southernmost peak of the Cambydes Mountains that stretches on the western coast of Aladdin. It stands just outside the city of Maro. This territory is not under the jurisdiction of any secular government, it belongs to God, and the Pope is the spiritual leader and de facto Yuan here, which is a unique situation left over from history. Unlike the blessed cave of the Kunlun sect, which is hidden in the world, the majestic St. Peter's Basilica on the mountainside is open to the public, and it receives countless worshippers and tourists from all over the world every day.
On the hill behind St. Peter's Basilica, there are many secrets unknown to ordinary people, many places are hidden by powerful magic circles, this is the center of the Holy See, the Supreme Seminary and the Supreme Knight Training Camp are also here. There is also the palace where the Pope lived. Today, everything is normal on Mount Gambides, and St. Peter's Basilica is still full of tourists, but secretly pay attention to observe, there are many monks in robes on both sides of the road up the mountain, waiting for something, and it is obvious that the Holy See has a distinguished guest.
Bai Shaoliu, accompanied by the senior priests of the Holy See, climbed Mount Gambides with Lianting and braids. This small mountain has a unique majesty, and the ground under its feet also faintly reveals a solemn atmosphere. They were accompanied and escorted up the mountain by six priests, who introduced the history of the Holy See and allusions to the land of Cambydes. In St. Peter's Basilica, Bai Shaoliu also prayed to God according to etiquette - since he came. He has known this rule since he was a child, enter the temple to worship the Buddha, or you don't go in.
Bai Shaoliu clasped his hands together and clenched his fingers, put them on his chest and lowered his head against his chin, and prayed silently in his heart: "God, if your eyes are really looking at the world at this moment, please look at your people, maybe your kindness is merciless, but do not send your anger to the innocent...... Whether you are looking at me or not, I believe there is a pair of eyes watching our souls, whether it is God's eyes or not. ...... I'm going to save innocent people, maybe no one in this world is innocent in your eyes, a great flood can wash the world away. But in my heart, people have their own **, and they also have to save their sins. ...... God, I must save her, the human disaster hurts her in your name!"
The accompanying priest didn't know what Xiao Bai was praying for, but he was 120,000 satisfied with Xiao Bai's behavior, and secretly left various records, including taking pictures, videos, and the magic of the crystal ball in the puppet space. I don't know what kind of impact Bai Shaoliu's scene of praying to God with his hands clasped in the Holy See in St. Peter's Basilica will have when he returns to the Kunlun cultivation world? No wonder Dan Zicheng once said that he should not come. In fact, no Kunlun cultivator has ever done this.
Leaving St. Peter's Basilica, you enter the center of the Holy See along an ornate marble-columned cloister, where there are no pilgrims and are all the core clergy of the Holy See. People all looked at Bai Shaoliu with a curious eye, wanting to see what kind of fierce and vicious the legendary landowner killer looked? But Bai Shaoliu did not look like a demon at all, his appearance was handsome, his expression was modest, his demeanor was polite, and he had an indescribable bearing, some plain and a little mysterious. Lian Ting behind him was a little nervous, but his demeanor was not lost, but he stared at a pair of dark eyes with twisted braids and looked around. Curious about everything you see, it's like a child walking in a park.
Bai Shaoliu was personally received by Pope Nicholas Homoro III: the U Room, a spacious hall flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows with exquisite colored glazed mosaics, a dome painted with frescoes of the Virgin and religious legends, and a variety of angels and saints above high columns. The Pope sat in the middle of the hall, with Fortimore and Depredo sitting on either side of the Pope, surrounded by high-ranking clergy from the Holy See, including the Elders of the Supreme Seminary, and the Middle Tutor of the Supreme Knight's Training Camp.
Bai Shaoliu is here to give a gift, this reception specification is obviously too high, in the words of Zhixu people, it is the standard. On the one hand, the Holy See intended to do so. caused the influence of the head of the Kunlun faction to meet the Pope and the Holy See, on the other hand, everyone was also very curious, wanting to see this legendary figure who killed three bishops in a row and forced Tutor Yala to write a book in public.
When Bai Shaoliu walked into the hall of saints, he didn't have that feeling of being amazed, but all the people present were the human spirits of the human spirits, and soon the uniqueness of this seemingly ordinary young man was different. His gait was no different from when he climbed Mount Campydes among the tourists, even if he was standing under the dome of the Hall of Saints. In the presence of the Holy Pope, this man has the bearing of eye level with anyone, although it is not easy to detect at first sight.
The Pope stood up, walked down the stairs, stretched out his arms, and said, "Welcome, Mr. Bai Shaoliu from the East, God's heart is so broad, and his holy mercy can tolerate everything. I've heard your name for a long time, and today you've finally arrived in the Hall of the Saints' Radiant Land!"
Bai Shaoliu stood in the center of the hall and stopped and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to meet me in person, the Holy See's reception of me is too grand, Bai can't afford it...... On behalf of the Kunlun Hainan faction, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Jorge. I also fulfilled my promise that his kindness to the friends who helped us should never be forgotten!"
Pope: "God can also see the goodwill of the White Lord, the Lord, and the brilliance of the Lord is ready to accept anyone with open arms." The Pope called Bai Shaoliu "the owner of the Holy White Village", which is a prefix added to the sound in Aladdin, but the implication is obviously different.
Bai Shaoliu heard this, and replied with an unchanged face: "Since His Majesty the Pope and the senior masters in the Holy See are here, then please be a witness, I, Bai Shaoliu, personally sent the cultivation relics of the Hainan School to Mr. Yoge's hands." "He doesn't delay at all. After the politeness, I went straight to the point.
The Pope beckoned, and Jorge, dressed in a gold-trimmed red robe, walked to the center of the hall. Xiang Bai Shaochu saluted: "Holy White Zhuang Master, I am very honored to accept your gift from thousands of miles away, in fact, you don't
It is my duty to destroy the dark forces!"
Bai Shaoliu and Yoge had a look at each other, but he didn't dare to use any magical powers, the people here are all top masters and can't show any flaws. He didn't talk nonsense and took a step sideways, and did not offer the Xuanming Scepter with his own hands, Lian Ting walked up and held the golden magic weapon in both hands, and bowed deeply to Yoge with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, you have avenged my father, please accept my gratitude to you on behalf of my father and all my fellow disciples!"
Lian Ting didn't know the complicated inside story of Xuan Yixiao's death, and now only two people in the world know this secret, Yoge and Xiaobai. The world is really wonderful, and the killing of Xuanyi is the former Yog. The white-haired seizure of Yog's house became the current Yog, which is equivalent to avenging Xuan Yixiao. Unbeknownst to Lianting, he expressed his gratitude to Yoge, but he was not happy at all.
Yoge took the scepter and comforted a few words, and the braids also stepped forward to salute, but said: "Mr. Yog, you are so handsome!" Among all the people, only the braids have no other scheming, she just followed Xiaobai to open her eyes, and it was the first time she saw Yog, because Yoge went to sit in Huaishanzhuang last time and went to Los Angeles to hide for three days without seeing each other. She heard that it was Yog who helped Lianting avenge her father, and she already had a good impression of him. And when I saw Yog, I felt very kind, and couldn't help but tell the truth, Yog is indeed a very handsome and charming beautiful man.
After the simple ritual was completed, Bai Shaoliu sat down on the left side of the hall, and Lian Ting and Braided stood behind him. The Pope smiled and said, "Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave, let Jorge accompany you around the Cambydes, and the Gambides has prepared a small prayer dinner for you." What else do you want from the Holy See, just ask. ”
Bai Shaoliu bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." There's no need for dinner, I'm not eating these days, it's my practice. But I do have a request, and I hope that His Majesty the Pope will grant it. ”
Pope: "If you have any requests, please do not hesitate to ask." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "I would like to see someone, her name is Helen Goelin.+ Li's pure Western girl, I heard that she is a priest of the Holy See. She was a guest at my place for three days and made a deep impression on me, and I often miss her in the East. This time I came to Cambydes, hoping to meet her. ”
When this remark came out, many people in the know who were present changed color. The Pope's face did not change, and he smiled and said, "It seems that she is indeed very attractive, Master Temple, is there this Miss Helen-Goeling in the Holy See? If it is convenient, please the emperor is the pope, and he does not refute Xiaobai's face at all, pretending not to know this person, and summons Helen to see Xiaobai very enthusiastically.
Depredo frowned slightly, "Helen's situation is quite special, this is for Lord Fotimore." ”
Fotimore groaned and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lord Bai, Helen and her father have violated God's commandments and are being punished, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again." ”
The Pope's face changed: "Lord Fortimore, what's going on?"
Fortimore: "Philip Golingzi, the chief magician in the city of Nice, organized the black market trade and gave precious holy artifacts to the evil dark forces, and his daughter is a high-ranking priest in the Holy See and is suspected of being guilty, and has now been taken into custody by the Inquisition. ...... Master Bai, how did you meet Helen?"
Bai Shaoliu: "I once rescued a girl who fell into the water by the sea and brought her back to my manor to recuperate for three days, she is Helen." ...... Mr. Fortimore, I could not believe that such a pure maiden could be associated with evil. What the hell is going on, I don't know the situation though. But also would like to ask His Majesty the Merciful Pope to forgive her. ”
Fortimore: "The devil will taint the pure soul, and the pure maiden will fall one day, and some sins are unforgivable." ...... Master Bai Zhuang, what is the relationship between you and Lei Feng, the real person of White Lotus?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's not a relationship, I am the White Lotus Zhenren Lei Feng, the Bailian Zhenren is the unique Dharma name of our Kunlun cultivators, and my common name is Bai Shaoliu's Dharma Name Bailian Zhenren." As for Lei Feng, it is a name worthy of respect and nostalgia, I just borrowed it, I thought I had done a good deed to help others, I don't know if Lord Fotimore sees it that way?"
The Pope waved his hand and said: "The Holy White Owner is a guest of honor of the Holy See, and we cannot doubt the good intentions of the Holy White Owner because of the crimes committed by the Corinn father and daughter, after all, we did not know that they would fall before the evil appeared, and the Holy White Owner once saved the priests of the Holy See, and I am still deeply grateful here." ...... As for you wanting to see Helen, I think you can, Yog, and you go with him, just to see him. ”
Yog received the order, turned to Bai Shaoliu and said: "Holy White Lord, you are the guest of honor of the Holy See, and the Holy See will not hesitate to grant you the highest level of courtesy, but you cannot forgive the sins of heresy and rebellion, and the authority given by God to the Holy See cannot be shaken. His words are also a reminder in Xiaobai's ears that the Holy See intends to give you face, and will not forgive Helen because of your request, and there is a boundary between internal affairs and foreign affairs.
Fotimore also said: "Since His Majesty the Pope has been extrajudicial to him, I will also accompany the White Farmer to Helen with Lord Yog. ”
......
In a confinement room in the Inquisition, Xiaobai met Helen, a beautiful girl whose face was full of haggard and melancholy. A cold bed, a simple unlacquered wooden table and chairs, with white paper and paintbrushes on the table. Helen was curled up in bed resting, and after days of constant interrogation, no one told her anything about her father, and she was already tired. Fortunately, Helen was not hung on the cross like her father, and Fortimore's men did not punish her severely, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that they could not ask anything about the punishment.
The heavy cold iron door was opened, and the twitching of the magic chains* woke Helen, and she stood up from the bed but was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of surprise, joy, worry, and other mixed emotions. Because she saw the person between Jorge and Fotimore, it was her life-saving benefactor in Zhixu, the modest and warm White Lotus real Lei Feng. He saved her, since adulthood, only this man has seen his own **, although it has only been three days, but Helen has a deep impression of Bai Shaoliu and has a special good feeling.
Fortimore's men forced her to draw a portrait of the White Lotus, Helen was simple but not stupid, delicate but not cowardly, and in some ways her character was similar to her father, Helen insisted on not drawing. Although she didn't know Futimore's intentions, she could guess that this was definitely not good intentions, she and her father had already been arrested and sent to the inquisition, she didn't want to hurt anyone because of this, let alone the kind and respectable White Lotus real Lei Feng in her heart?
