Chapter 154: Knights Templar, Holy Water, Gangjin
Jiang You easily killed the black-clothed young man and continued to move forward.
After Jiang You walked for half an hour, he saw an altar wrapped in vines in front of him, Jiang You was not surprised to see this, but there was a secret realm, and he walked up slowly.
After he stood on the altar, it really glowed blue, and after a flash, Jiang You's eyes unfolded a picture of a medieval town.
At this time, he was standing on a hill outside the city, and the gate of the town was prostrate at the foot of the mountain.
The buildings in the city, row upon row, are continuous, although there is a sense of heaviness after the baptism of the years, but there is no sign of dilapidation, all of them are glowing with a dark golden luster, filled with holy light, there is a solemn and sacred power in the swirling.
The most conspicuous thing in the city is a Gothic cathedral standing in the middle of the city, rising from the ground, setting off the insignificance of the residential buildings at the feet, and the dark golden holy light is also emitted from the spire at the top of the church.
"It used to be the Taixu Hall in the East, but now it has become a Western church, it seems that the secret realm in the sacred tree contains many types!"
Jiang You thought to himself after seeing the church, and then set off towards the small city, and when he was halfway up the mountain, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and looked towards the source of the smell of blood, and saw that on a cliff behind the woods, there was a gray dragon!
This Jiaolong is the big demon who joined forces with Jiang You before, but at this time it has no life fluctuations, and there is a straight and thick golden cavalry spear inserted in the huge demon body, and the cavalry spear pierces the dragon's heart and nails it to death on the cliff.
Jiang You's figure flashed, and he came to the side of the cliff, and he sensed that although the dragon was still there, it had turned into a virtual shell, and all of it had been destroyed from the soul to the body, and as long as he touched it lightly, it would turn into powder.
The demon's head still retained the look of despair before it died, and its mouth opened wide, as if it was going to use some means, but after all, it was still a beat slower and fell here.
Jiang You knew the strength of this demon, but he died here, and what it represents is self-evident.
After Jiang You observed the dragon, he focused on riding the spear.
There is a little bit of divine aura on the riding spear, although the surface is still intact, but the inside is full of cracks, and it should have exploded with all the power to nail this big demon to death.
Jiang You took a deep look at Jiaolong, and then blew a breath, and the demon body suddenly shook, like the riding spear on his body, shattered and dissipated, and then he strode towards the small city.
All the way to the city gate, the two city gates were pushed open at this time, it should be the previous Jiaolong, Jiang You entered from the city gate, and saw a spacious stone-paved road in front of him, and the doors and windows of the houses on both sides were closed, empty and quiet.
After entering the city, Jiang You also came into contact with the holy light, that is, he felt a peaceful power in his heart, and there was no other feeling.
But soon, Jiang You saw another corpse in the city, this person was nailed to the road on his back by a knight's cross sword, just like Jiaolong's situation, it was also a virtual shell, and there was also a powerful divine energy dormant on the knight's cross sword.
Such a scene made Jiang You frown, he tentatively took a few steps forward, and sure enough, the cross sword suddenly vibrate, and then a brilliant golden light appeared.
The golden light condensed a tall Western young man, wearing golden chain mail, his long hair was burning like a golden flame, there were blazing beams of light flying out of his eyes, his breath was terrifying, and the whole person looked like a sun god!
As soon as this person appeared, he pulled up the big cross sword, and stepped forward with a grim face, his long golden hair was scattered, and his whole body was glowing, as if he was shrouded by a bright sun, and there was a divine power permeating it, shocking people's hearts!
Seeing this, Jiang You did not hesitate, and also pulled out the victory and evil, and walked towards the Westerners who condensed out of the golden light.
Suddenly, the golden-colored holy light boiled, and this person swept the sky with a golden light and swung his sword towards Jiang You.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The peaceful silence of the town was instantly shattered by the sound of huge sword weapons colliding.
Jiang You had a few hard encounters with this person head-on, and he knew that although his strength was great, it was far inferior to himself, and he was easily dissolved by him.
Seeing this, the Westerners suddenly retreated, holding the cross sword with both hands, the tip of the sword tilted down and held it above their heads, and when the golden light came out of the sword body, it was pointed upward, and suddenly an incomparably huge golden sword qi rushed towards Jiang You.
However, Jiang You still had an indifferent expression, simply raising the Sword of Victory and Evil, slashing in the middle, cutting off the golden sword qi from the middle with one sword, and then the sword qi shattered, turning into wisps of golden sword qi around Jiang You and killing around Jiang You, unable to tear through Jiang You's physical defense.
Jiang You already knew the strength of the other party at this time, and if he had encountered it before, it would have taken a lot of effort, but now, it was nothing more than that.
The victory evil shook his body obliquely, and the black demon-slaying sword qi soared and entangled, and Jiang You planned to kill it with a sword.
Who knew that with the appearance of the Demon Slaying Sword Qi, the Holy Light in the city suddenly seemed to have discovered a heresy, changed its previous peace, and launched an attack on the Demon Slaying Sword Qi from all directions.
This holy light seemed to have a nature of annihilation, and it quickly "purified" the demon-slaying sword qi on the Victory Evil Sword.
Jiang You didn't expect such a situation to happen, no wonder the strength of the Westerners turned into this cross is average, but it can make the former bleed, it turns out that there is the holy light all over the city to help!
Jiang You's demon-slaying sword qi also made this Western young man angry, and he saw that his eyes erupted with fierce golden light, the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed, his mouth and nose were swallowing golden smoke, and all the holy light around him gathered towards him, and his whole body seemed to be burning.
The golden cross sword in his hand also made a sword sound, as if he couldn't wait to behead Jiang You, a heretic, under the sword.
"It's finally a bit of a look!"
After receiving the blessing of the Holy Light, the strength of the Western youth skyrocketed, and they rushed towards Jiangyou wrapped in the Holy Light.
Jiang You saw that in front of him, the brilliant golden light shrouded the sky, and the cross sword was even more golden flame beating, blazing.
The power of terror made the space on the street shake.
Jiang You once again urged the Demon Slaying Sword Qi, this time it was even bigger than just now, so that the surrounding holy light could not "purify" it for a while, and even forced the holy light away in turn.
Suddenly, the black and gold between the heavens and the earth collided violently, and a powerful wave of qi erupted, and the space here was stable, and the slightest crack was made, and the qi wave raged towards the surrounding buildings and streets, but they were all golden and shining, and they were not destroyed by the battle between the two.
This sword, after all, Jiang You won, and when the light dissipated, he saw the cross sword fall to the ground, and the Western youth stood in place in a daze, revealing an incredible death in his eyes, and then a black sword qi emerged from his eyebrows, quickly spreading downward, and soon cut him away from the middle, and fell to the ground with a bang.
And Jiang You Jiang You continued to use the Demon Slaying Sword Qi to provoke the holy light here, and finally completely angered it, Jiang You suddenly felt a palpitation, and quickly looked up, and saw the top of the towering church in front of him, I don't know when a dazzling light had been condensed, and as he raised his head, the light bombarded towards him.
"Not good!"
Jiang You felt that his body couldn't catch this light, and hurriedly hit the Taixu Ding to block in front of him, as soon as the Taixu Ding appeared, the Taixu Qi was entangled, and collided head-on with the holy light, and the street space was suddenly torn apart, and the originally sheltered building was also smoothly divided into two halves under the power of space, and with the spread of the space crack, half of the city was separated, and it suddenly seemed to divide this place into two heaven and earth.
Although Taixu Ding was buzzing and trembling by this blow, it was completely blocked by Jiang You after all, and did not let Jiang You behind him suffer any damage.
Jiang You can also see through this blow, this place is to regard all non-church energy as heresy, not allowed to appear, once it appears, it will mobilize the power of the whole city, a thunderous blow, just now the power of this holy light is no different from the blow of the realm powerhouse, if he doesn't have too much Xuding protection, I am afraid that he will be beaten half to death.
And as long as you don't use energy, you simply use the power of your body, it won't be like this, and even the Western youth condensed by the big sword won't go berserk.
But Jiang You only now fully understands the rules of this place, before he thought that the holy light would only consume the demon slaying sword qi, and the people who entered before him were probably the same as him, because they understood too late, so there was no chance to make up for it, and they fell one after another.
Fortunately, Jiang You blocked this blow, and at this time, the spatial cracks healed, the heavens and the earth recovered, and the collapsed buildings in the city were also reassembled under the holy light, and after a while, the whole city was restored to its original state.
And Jiang You saw that the holy light that permeated the city had not become thin because of the previous blow, and he knew that if he provoked himself later, maybe an even more terrifying holy light would fall.
"It seems that you can only use your body to fight later!"
When he thought like this, he saw that the crossed holy sword that had fallen to the ground began to absorb the holy light in the city again, and soon the golden light broke out again, and the Western youth reappeared.
"What a hassle! If you want to spend it with me, don't you! ”
Jiang You's brows furrowed, and at the moment when the Western youth had just condensed, he took the first step in front of him, and punched out, and suddenly a violent sonic boom exploded, and the young man's chest was pierced with one punch, and then he continued to step forward, shaking his shoulders, and the Western youth immediately flew out, and his body turned into holy light in the air and dissipated in the air.
And Jiang You's movements were not finished yet, with a twist of his hips, his footsteps stepped towards the cross holy sword on the ground.
He already knew that the Western youth was only the externalization of the energy of this sword, and the key point was the sword itself.
Jiang You stepped on it, and the cross sword also came out with golden light to resist, but under Jiang You's full strength, the golden light was crushed in an instant, and then the sword body broke from the middle, and all the light faded and turned into a mortal sword.
And Jiang You only used his physical body to fight, even if he stepped on this sword, it did not attract the attack of the holy light of the church.
Jiang You snorted coldly and walked towards the church, with his current physical strength and martial arts cultivation, there was nothing to fear even if he didn't use other means.
On the way, Jiang You soon came across a golden battle axe, but next to this battle axe was not a corpse, but an arm.
Jiang You's footsteps quickened when he saw it, and he came directly to the tomahawk, not giving it a chance to condense its figure, but the tomahawk flew directly towards Jiang You and slashed at it.
Jiang You's punch collided with the tomahawk, and the tomahawk left a bloody mark on Jiang You's fist, but it was knocked out of the way.
As the battle axe slashed again, Jiang You responded with victory over evil, as long as he didn't use the demon slashing sword qi, it would be fine.
The hard strength of the victory evil can be said to be the most Jiang You has ever seen, under the slash of Jiang You's huge force, and the crazy collision with the battle axe, soon the axe peak of the battle axe was broken out, and the victory evil is still intact.
As the gap of the tomahawk appeared, Jiang You's every collision was accurately slashed on the gap, and soon, the tomahawk was violently smashed.
After that, Jiang You also encountered heavy swords, meteor hammers, shields and other objects once.
These weapons were all standing in the middle of the road leading to the church, and no other corpses appeared, which means that the people who had come in before had not rushed to this depth.
And the coping methods that Jiang You mastered were all based on his own strength and the outrageous hard strength of defeating evil, cutting them off one by one, but it was extremely easy.
In this way, after Jiang You pierced the golden shield in front of him with a sword, he finally came to the door of the church.
The church is surrounded by a faint holy light, which would have made people feel peaceful, but Jiang You feels a strong sense of oppression here.
He took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to press on the door of the church, with a force, the door of the church was not pushed, Jiang You's strength increased again, this time the door finally opened slowly, because the gate was five or six meters high, Jiang You pushed open a gap, it was already very spacious, and he walked into it.
He was greeted by a huge marble statue of Christ, standing high on the altar, holding a Bible in one hand and the Bible in the other, looking peacefully ahead.
Two red flags hung down on both sides of the statue, and when Jiang You looked at the flag, he immediately guessed what the place was.
Both flags depict an octagonal cross with a slight alteration of the cross, which is the emblem of the Knights Templar in the West.
The Knights Templar, also known as the Knights of the Temple, was a Catholic military organization in the Middle Ages and one of the three famous Knights.
The original idea was to protect the safety of pilgrims and attack infidels.
Initially consisting of only nine members, the Knights Templar received formal support from the Holy See and many privileges, and rapidly grew in size, power, and wealth, even to the development of the first banking industry, which eventually disbanded due to the erosion of divine power by the monarchy.
Jiang You didn't know any of this, and he knew about the Knights Templar because of the infamous Crusades and a mysterious treasure legend.
At that time, the Crusades were not interested at a cursory glance, and the main point of interest was the treasure.
Legend has it that when the Order was about to be disbanded, Jacques de Molay, the Templar Grand Master, who was already in prison, called his nephew to prison in order to preserve the Templar's "traditional and noble basic teachings", conferred the position of Grand Master, and then made him swear before God that in order to save the Templar Order in the future, he would save some treasures until the "end of the world".
In addition to some worldly gold and silver, the most important treasures are: the crowns of the kings of Jerusalem, the seven candlesticks of King Solomon, and the four golden gospels!
"Could this be where the Knights Templar hid their treasures? But how could it be on the sacred tree? ”
Jiang You's heart suddenly became a little hot, so he hurriedly looked towards the altar in front of the statue, but there was no legendary holy relic on it, but a semicircular stone plate with nothing in it.
In front of the shrine, there are rows of empty seats.
Jiang You's eyes kept glancing, but in the end, he didn't take the risk of using his divine sense to investigate, and walked towards the divine platform with one step.
As soon as he took a step, the Bible in the hand of the statue of Christ flew towards him.
When Jiang You wanted to dodge away, the holy light still enveloped him, and suddenly he felt a sinking body, a bit like the feeling of being suppressed by the Taixu Ding, but not as heavy as the Taixu Ding, but other than that, there was no other discomfort.
Jiang You stood still, and kept putting together all the clues from entering this world in his mind, trying to find a guess that could connect all the clues.
"Since this is not a place of treasure, is it the location of the knights selected by the Knights Templar?"
What kind of riding spears, cross swords, and heavy swords have encountered along the way.
It can be seen that the inheritance of the Knights Templar has high requirements for physical fitness, as well as the unusually heavy doors of the church, and the oppression of the Holy Light at this time, all to screen the physique.
And the use of other energies is not allowed here, and a person who can get here completely by virtue of his own physique is very likely to specialize in physique, so the purpose of the Knights Templar is to select people who have a strong physique and have not cultivated heretical lineages, teach their own lineages, and become fresh blood to supplement the Knights Templar.
Jiang You quickly found a plausible explanation, and he walked towards the divine platform, and the pressure brought by the holy light gradually increased.
And Jiang You saw that the stone plate on the altar that was originally empty began to have clear water coming out of the bottom of the plate as he advanced.
"The clear water enshrined on the altar, is this water not holy water?"
Jiang You thought to himself when he saw it, and then he stood still and went to observe again, as he stopped advancing, the clear water immediately stopped coming out, and then the clear water flew out, as if he was going to baptize Jiang You.
Jiang You hurriedly moved forward again.
Qing Shui's movement stopped, and began to emerge again.
"Anyone who can open the door of the church and enter is eligible to join the Knights Templar, and this holy water is rewarded according to the distance that the person who enters walks forward!"
Jiang You immediately made a judgment, and after that, he strode forward, although the holy light on his body gave a rapid increase in pressure, but Jiang You's current physique, there was no slightest pressure.
It wasn't until he reached a place three steps away from the front of the altar that he felt that his body had reached its limit, and his body began to tremble, and he couldn't take the next step, and the holy water in the stone plate was almost overflowing now.
This result may be an extremely terrifying result in the Knights Templar over the years, enough to set a new record, but how could Jiang You's requirements for himself be so low?
You can't use a bit of energy here, so it's always okay for me to bless myself in my body.
The Taixu Ding in the mud pill in the center of the eyebrows suddenly shook, and the wisps of Taixu Qi flowed out, and began to operate in Jiang You's body, Jiang You relied on the blessing of the Taixu Ding, and walked three steps in a row, and came to the front of the Shentai.
At this moment, the space around him began to shake, as if a spatial crack would appear at any moment.
Relying solely on the strength of the flesh to resist the squeeze of space, Jiang You's physique is so strong that he has to secretly cheat and use the blessing of Taixu Ding to do it, it is conceivable that this Knights Templar is indeed one of the three major knights, and the requirements are indeed ridiculously high.
As Jiang You walked a few years ago, all the holy water in the stone plate flew above his head, and under the illumination of the holy light, it instantly changed from clear water to a holy relic that exuded a brilliant golden Huarui, like golden sand.
From the top of Jiang You's head, after coming into contact with Jiang You's body surface, it was quickly absorbed by his skin, after Jiang You's physique was improved before, it had reached a strength that could collide head-on with the divine weapon, and it was extremely difficult, extremely difficult.
But who knew that the creation in the sacred tree was so terrifying, which directly allowed Jiang You to get the Western holy water specially designed for baptism.
At this time, in the baptism of holy water, Jiang You's physical body once again transformed rapidly, exuding golden light all over his body, as if it was made of gold, and his eyes were even more golden, like a god.
Jiang You himself felt that the five-colored Huaguang in his body also began to condense and fuse in the feedback of his body, but he still seemed to have a feeling that he was not enough, and at this time, the Dongwang Stone Tablet that had been refined into the liver suddenly burst into blue light, and the Stone Tablet actually flew into his sea of qi.
Suddenly, the Taixu Ding was actually pulled by the Dongwang stele, and the Dao Dao Taixu Qi rolled down from the mud pills, wrapped around the stele, and the stele sank to the sea of qi, forcibly suppressing the five-color Huaguang, under the action of external forces, the original five colors were combined and turned cyan.
At this point, Jiang You actually used a method that he didn't know what was going on, and only deliberately suppressed the progress of the liver, and actually entered the realm of gangjin.
After entering Gangjin, Jiang You only felt that his body had reached the terrifying level of disturbing the space and forcibly smoothing out the ripples of the space, and at this time, the holy water was finally exhausted.
It makes Jiang You feel a little pity, if he goes a little more, he may be able to directly reach the terrifying height of punching through the void.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and it is already a great creation to be able to enter Gangjin, and he is not satisfied, Jiang You instantly pressed down the greed that had just risen, shook his head and chuckled at himself under the continuous cultivation and soaring strength, and his mentality was unstable.
Just when Jiang You thought that the creation of this place had all ended, suddenly, the Bible in the hand of the statue of Christ suddenly flew down, and before Jiang You could react, it was directly pressed on his head, and suddenly an incomparably violent golden light rushed into Jiang You's soul.
Suddenly, Jiang You felt that the teachings of Christianity were running around in his mind.
"It's not good, people take out holy water for baptism, and naturally want to ensure the purity of the baptism's faith, and they actually start brainwashing directly at the level of the divine soul!"
As soon as Jiang You ate the sweet sugar coating in his stomach, the cannonball immediately hit him.
Who knows, this holy light is all strong, and directly forced the samadhi fire back, and with the holy light shining on the three souls of Jiang You, he suddenly gave birth to a feeling of unswerving faith in Christ and the Knights Templar from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, this holy light seemed to have angered the Gray Realm Mark, and the mark flew out at once, emitting Dao Dao black light, which was against the Holy Light.
After a while, it was finally the Holy Light that drove Jiang You's Divine Soul, but the Gray World Mark was still shaking, Jiang You suddenly felt that he was about to be pulled into the Gray Realm, at this time, the Divine Soul Space shook, the Gray World Mark paused suddenly, and the power of the Holy Tree descended, and the Gray World Mark slowly sank into the Divine Soul as if compromised.
