Chapter 41: The Name of Emptiness
The power of faith, this is a very mysterious power, it can make a person for a so-called god that has never been seen, devote themselves wholeheartedly, and let them really pin their faith directly on that god, and these are just one of the appearances, this power directly connects two people who have never seen it in an incomprehensible way, mortal people have something, the so-called god may not have anything, but he can know what happened, of course, this is the use of the power of faith to connect, and when a god man really dies, those believers will still pray in this wayHowever, whether this has an effect on that god or not, this is not something that Kong Ming can know. But now Kong Ming knows one thing, that is, when these people are constantly praying, as the pope of this temple, he has also obtained a small part of the power of faith, and these forces continue to infiltrate into his body and soul, so that the murderous aura in his body that hovers outside the small universe gradually disappears, and those beliefs that enter the small universe make him have several small universes constantly churning, and begin to develop slowly, and those faith powers that enter the divine soul continue to directly connect Kong Ming with these believers, of course, at the same time, these forces are also clearing the thoughts of those weeping in Kong Ming's heart, making Kong Ming's heart more peaceful。 Although this is only a slight change, however, the soul of the empty light is at the level of a god king, how sensitive is it to the sensing of this kind of thing?
At this time, Kong Ming really felt how powerful this invisible force was. Kong Ming continued to feel, and soon Kong Ming found that there was a power of faith that he didn't know, constantly infiltrating into his small universe. The power of these beliefs is not the beliefs of these people in front of them, so where is it? One of the traces of faith was soon discovered. The person who dedicated this faith was actually a soldier, and it should be a soldier of the expeditionary force, because these beliefs have a completely different direction from the sacred beliefs here, one is fighting, a kind of dedication to victory, and the other is a kind of sustenance, Kong Ming did not expect that he would actually become a subject of faith, a person who makes people believe. It's no wonder that Kong Ming didn't know these things, after all, when he was in Huatian Continent before. The strength is too low, the small universe in the body has not been developed, and it is constantly fighting, what he is thinking about is how to lead the army to victory, instead of thinking about how to improve his own strength like now, these are completely different directions, so at that time, even if there are countless faith powers. He couldn't understand it, but now it's different, and he really understands the power and importance of faith.
It's a shortcut to improve your strength, but. This seems to have some limitations, but I don't know what the limitations are? These things are not something that can be understood by the current Kongming, or it is not something that the current Kongming can grasp. But in any case, these things are beneficial and harmless to the empty light at this time. So he didn't need to dissolve anything like that.
After a while, the men had finished praying. Continuing to play the role of bishop, he stood on the pulpit and began his ministry on a huge, thick, but not many words per business.
"God has compassion on the world......"
Kong Ming preached this time, he could only read it according to what the book said, and the effect on the face was really not very good, making the following drowsy, I don't know what to say, and it also made Kong Ming feel that he couldn't go on the face, and later, Kong Ming thought about it, and directly began to use his Venerable God's divine thoughts, with the words of the one in his mouth, reading the words on the book, and there was something with a trace of emotion in it, and finally pulled these people back from the arms of the sleeping god. Then the first sermon passed in such a state of helplessness. After those believers left, they kept talking about this sermon, which made Kong Ming really want to go directly into the ground.
"Hehe, His Majesty the Pope, in fact, this is nothing, you just need to do it a few more times!" A gray-haired old man next to him said, this is Bishop Paul, when no one is directly airborne like Kong Ming, the entire temple is in charge of him, so he has always been the bishop, and he is also the real pope who exercises the right of the real pope, the real controller of this temple, and this time, due to the suddenness of Kong Ming's airborne landing, and he is running into a sermon, originally he wanted Kong Ming to take a look at it first, so he could learn it, but, because this is Kong Ming's task, so Kong Ming directly rejected his kindness. Now it seems that the other party is also well-intentioned, after all, people like Kong Ming who come to serve as popes are just going through the motions, and most of the time he is still in control, so he has great respect for every pope who comes, and he has to respect, after all, every pope is the strongest person in the entire plane.
Kong Ming didn't expect that he had led the army for so long, and he never spoke in front of people, but he was distracted and made a fool of himself at a small sermon meeting. It seems that he really overestimated himself.
"Hehe, a shame is a shame, there's nothing to say, I'll have it next time. Kong Ming smiled bitterly.
Paul looked at the appearance of Kongming, and his heart was also depressed, every time the people who came down to serve as the pope were strange, some did not know God at all, some did not know anything about God's deeds, and even some were simply disdainful of God, and these people all came every once in a while, with different personalities, which made him difficult to resist, but fortunately, these people were just here to spend money, and there was no big conflict with him. What's more, under normal circumstances, the other party relies on him to maintain the operation of the entire temple.
"Hehe, His Majesty the Pope doesn't have to take it too seriously, those believers are also used to such things, so there is no shame or shame. Paul continued.
"Oh, do people often come to steal your job?" Kong Ming asked, but as soon as he spoke, he knew that he was embarrassed again, wasn't he one of the people who grabbed your job?
Seeing some awkward emptiness, Paul knew that the pope was the kind of person who didn't know much about Shinto's line, and even less about how it works.
"Huh. His Majesty the Pope laughed, I'm just a bishop. It's just to take care of the temple for His Majesty.,Where can it be said to be a job grab? Every time a pope leaves, in less than ten days, the next pope will come. Paul said modestly, although the pope is often changed, but they are all strong people, so Paul did not dare to offend, after all, some bishops did not recognize the form before, and directly shot at the pope, and the result was directly abolished. And the reason why he was able to do it for so long. It is because he can conform to the character of different popes.
Hearing these empty minds, he couldn't help but smile, thinking about it, this place can't just be the place corresponding to the land of gods and demons, there should be many places similar to the land of gods and demons, that is to say, whether it is in the god realm or in the two realms of immortals and demons, they all have some places corresponding to the various continents in the mortal world, and these places are their places of trial, that is, the places where they cultivate talents. In this way, many places can be explained, why are there immortals in the Zhongzhou Continent who control it, and directly wipe out those disobedient sects, now it seems. It's like someone's back garden, but because there are some unknown powerhouses hidden in the mortal world who interfere there, their plans don't go well. However, in the present form shì. These hidden people may fall beneath the confrontation.
"Come on, no one else knows. I'm sure I know, no matter how many people come here, but it's just a little bit of gold, and it's you, the Venerable One, who looks like you're going to die at any moment. Kong Ming smiled, his character is like this, some things don't need to be so complicated, if you say it directly, or some people will feel a little uncomfortable, but if it's just between two people, this way is nothing.
Seeing Kong Ming say this, Paul was a little embarrassed, but then all these embarrassments disappeared, after all, what the other party said was not wrong, and from this words, the old Paul heard a message, that is, Kong Ming only wanted to live a good life here, not to get involved in the factional struggle in their temple, which made Paul very satisfied.
"His Majesty the Pope joked, although mine is a venerable one, but it is only a gift from God. Paul said calmly.
Kong Ming nodded, in a way, this Paul is indeed stained with the glory of God. Of course, as for whether it is a god king or a god emperor, this point is not known.
"Does His Majesty the Pope want to rest?" asked Paul.
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "I'll go out and take a look." Oh, you don't have to come along, just let someone smarter follow me. ”
He was very curious about the place under the rule of this temple, and traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books, which is also true for cultivation, and some sects even let those disciples walk around to improve their understanding of the Tao.
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope, I let Philip follow. Paul was very cooperative.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, no different from the residents here, Kong Ming walked slowly down the street. The sacred city of the temple here is also the most sacred place under the rule of the temple, and a kind of sacred aura can be felt everywhere here, as well as people's belief in the so-called gods. What makes it interesting to Kong Ming is that even he, a temporary worker-like sect leader, is able to introduce some subtle beliefs from these people.
Kong Ming frowned, having more things is not necessarily a good thing, so it is not only a certain harm to those who believe in themselves, but also not necessarily beneficial to those who bear it. However, apparently Kong Ming thought too little, and he knew too little about such a thing, so little that he was a little unheard. Kong Ming realized it again, only to see that after those beliefs circled around his body, a small part returned to the person concerned. It's a wonderful feeling, between two unknown people, there is actually such a connection, thanks to the transfer of that god.
"What kind of power is this? It can make people unintentionally increase some cultivation, and it also gives people an additional point of contact between people, and makes people trust each other more?"
Kong Ming and Philip walked to a hotel, went up to the second floor, and found a corner by the window. I ordered a few snacks and ate them.
The environment here is okay. Even in the midst of the noise outside, there is a bit of seclusion here. Where the hotel is connected to the outside world. There was a faint layer of magic array light. The owner of the hotel who wanted to come to this hotel was very well thought out.
Kong Ming picked up his drink, took a sip, and watched the people outside walk around, this kind of life he had never experienced before, and it made him feel something fresh.
At this time, Kong Ming saw a little girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed very plainly, coming up the stairs, holding a blue flower in her hand.
"Sir, buy a flower!" the girl walked to a round table. There were five people eating there, and judging from their clothes, they should be nobles in the Divine City, and their faces looked very unsightly for the arrival of this plainly dressed girl.
"Go, go!" said one of them.
The girl was not surprised to see a lot of such people, and when she saw that there was a beautiful woman among the five people, she said, "Beautiful goddess, I think a flower should be something that the gentleman who likes you the most should prepare!"
Its sound is reverberating. It was extremely comfortable to listen to, and it made the woman's heart very useful, after all, there was only one goddess in the city of gods, and that was the one in the temple who was ready to dedicate herself to God at any time. Of course, what those people know is that the so-called dedication to God is just an excuse, and it is usually dedicated to those gods who are constantly rotating to the Pope. But. In any case, if a goddess is blessed by the Pope. So once she gives birth to children, those children are generally very good talents. Although it cannot be said to be the best of its generation, it has almost reached this level. And after the first pope is gone, under normal circumstances, the goddess family can get extremely rich rewards and favors, and the goddess can't help but remarry, which can be said to be a good business. Of course, under normal circumstances, in the city of God, the goddess has become the best name for girls. For even the husbands of those goddesses are proud of this.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the four men couldn't help but be moved, but none of them moved, although they were nobles, but they were not the kind of people who would be dizzy when they were casually spoken. And the girl here is obviously comfortable with this situation, not to mention whether there is anyone she likes among them, even if there is, she will not let people buy flowers here, after all, the price can only be estimated to get a good price. So even though she was very happy to hear it in her heart, and her face was full of joy, she didn't have any intention of buying it, and she didn't look at any of the men, and her actions made the four men very disappointed.
Seeing this situation, the little girl who sold flowers was directly disappointed, this situation was not the first time she had encountered it, so she didn't dwell on it a little, went directly to the second table, and started selling flowers again.
Kong Ming looked at the girl who was selling flowers, and at first, he didn't react, but after hearing her voice, his heart couldn't help but move, of course, it was not the private relationship between men and women, but the kind of voice that seemed to awaken a belief in people's deepest hearts. Kong Ming directly used his divine sense to observe this girl, and found that this was just an ordinary little girl, but there was an infinite light and faith in her heart. Kong Ming couldn't help but gasp, once this kind of person starts to practice, he must be a talented person, and once he preaches, he is also an extremely good preacher, because the pure faith in her body allows her to take many detours and go directly to the other side.
Kong Ming knew that this time he really met a treasure. The girl turned around the tables with men and women in the entire hall, and even the empty table passed by several times, but she did not stop, but she only sold a flower, and her disappointed face overflowed. Just as she was about to go downstairs, Kong Ming stopped her directly.
"Little girl selling flowers, come here. Kongming's words surprised everyone in the whole hall, this little girl often sells flowers here, it's not news, people who come often know it, so they don't react. Therefore, Kong Ming's voice directly watched many regular customers, and this also indirectly made most of the people look over, Kong Ming's voice did not surprise the little girl who sold flowers, because such things often happen to her.
"Dear sir, do you want to buy flowers?" The little girl hurriedly walked in front of Kong Ming, and Philip saw it and just wanted to stop in front of Kong Ming, but Kong Ming stopped him. Kong Ming didn't pay much attention to her words, and asked directly, "Are you literate?"
Kong Ming's question surprised everyone, in this society, only aristocratic girls will be literate, where are the other little girls literate? Sure enough, the other party shook his head directly, her family background is not good, and now she is just relying on the money she sells to support the family, where is the opportunity to be literate?
"Have you ever participated in the prayers in the temple?" Kong Ming asked again, and after saying this, Kong Ming felt that he had really become a god, although it was only a matter of time from his arrival in this plane to his current greatness.
"No, but everyone in the house knows God's prayers. The little girl said, there was some loss in her words, after all, Kong Ming didn't look like she was buying flowers, and in this way, Kong Ming not only didn't let her earn a penny, but also robbed her of her time.
"Can you just pray to me here?" asked Kuming again, he needed to know if there was anything unusual about this girl when she prayed.
At this time, the little girl was a little unnatural, and the rest of the people were waiting to see the joke, because in the city of God, only after a pious bath, before the statue, can one really pray, otherwise, it will be regarded as a great disrespect to the gods, which will be caught by the Templars to feed the fish.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Kong Ming was a little strange, this was just a very simple matter, was it that complicated?
After the little girl heard this, a blood-red rush rushed directly to her face as she stood there, and it was obvious that the empty words made it really difficult for her to answer.
After Philip next to him saw it, he directly whispered to Kong Ming and made the matter clear. At this time, Kong Ming reacted.
"Haha, do you really have this habit that you have to take a bath before you can really pray?" Kong Ming asked the little girl directly. Kong Ming's words surprised everyone even more, this has long been a well-known thing, isn't this person still knowing, where did he come from?
A trace of blood oozed from her lips, and the little girl knew that Kong Ming was blasphemy, and as an accomplice, she would not be able to escape the capture of the Templars no matter what she did today, and the family was still waiting for her to sell the money to feed, thinking of this, her face became even more ugly, and a tear oozed from her eyes.
She nodded, today's incident was really unwarranted.
"Huh. Ridiculous!" Kong Ming said with a smile, this kind of regulation is really deadly, the stricter the regulations of a belief, the narrower the object of its development, and if it is directly regulated to the very finest place, then this kind of belief will be in danger of being eliminated, and faith should be a belief that is convenient for the public, not a high government to look down on the public. Kong Ming didn't know why this kind of thing came out, but he knew that it must make perfect sense.
Kong Ming's laughter made everyone stand up, and they glared angrily at Kong Ming in the laughter, is Kong Ming blasphemy?
"When was this ruled?" asked Kumei, turning to Philip. He paid no attention to the people who stood up and glared at him, nor did he look at the little girl's pale and colorless face.
"Majesty, this is the year 1211 of the Divine Calendar, the then Pope Majesty Xià stipulated. This time, Philip's answer did not use transfiguration, but stood up and replied respectfully. And Philip's answer surprised everyone present, they didn't kneel, they didn't kneel, they didn't kneel. Kneeling, the other party's words do not prove that he is the pope, and if he kneels wrong, what can he do? Can he only go to jail? If he does not kneel, what if the other party is really the pope? That is a great crime of disrespect. However, their worries were clearly unfounded.
At this time, Kong Ming stood up directly and said: "In the name of me, the Pope Kong Ming, I declare that from now on, whenever and where, and whoever you want, you can pray!" (To be continued......)
