Before they knew it, they had come to a small port out of the river, and perhaps because of the most terrible fear that the undead had retreated into the mountains overnight, the merchants from other places crowded into this important trading city like flies, all wanting to take advantage of the opportunity.

As a result, boats of all sizes and shapes jammed half of the river. Merchant ships decorated with multicolored patterns stood with out-of-town merchants dressed in fancy clothes. They can hang all kinds of beautiful and uniquely shaped trinkets on their clothes, and shout loudly in a thick accent from all over the world:

"All kinds of scrolls produced by the Three Towers Federation! The quality is absolutely guaranteed. A short merchant in a gold silk suit shouted loudly. It's a pity that there are not many people who pay attention, after all, the things of the Three Towers Federation are good, but they are too expensive.

"The magic wand produced by the Arcane Research Sharing Society! It's cheap and beautiful, buy more and give more!" another businessman, who looked like a low-ranking mage in his mid-forties, shouted even more energetically. And "cheap and beautiful" is something that personal family loves, so people gather more and more.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" exclaimed the short merchant who sold the scrolls of the Three Towers, "His things are all things that are about to expire, otherwise how can they be ridiculously cheap? There must be fraud in it! Look at that magic wand, not even the edges are smoothed! I don't know which poor little mage made it!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The low-level mage merchant who sold magic wands immediately retorted angrily, "I have a special badge of the Arcane Research Sharing Society!" He took out a lilac emblem that half slapped and laughed loudly and shouted: "Don't just look at the appearance, the key is the connotation! My magic wand is absolutely qualified, and it is worthy of its price." There's nothing lower than mine!"

The short merchant continued sarcastically, "The Arcane Federation is far away on the territory of the Ada people in the Eastern Continent, and in the Western Continent, it only controls a large natural portal connecting the two continents. And it's on the territory of the Golden Demon Pattern Society. What skills do you have to get past the Acanthus Federation to contact them?

The middle-aged mage merchant sneered: "You are lonely and unheard, don't spew all the way to the east of the sea, and a new route has appeared on the eastern coast, which can transport the items of the Arcane Research Sharing Society all the way here through the waterway of the Guò River and the sea.

The short merchant also sneered: "You're farting again, there will be a route along the eastern coast? Even if the ship is not swept away by the continuous storms and pirates, it will be stopped by the fishmen and robbers on the road to collect money." Freight is even more expensive than by land, how can it be so cheap?"

The mage merchant said impatiently: "You don't care about this, anyway, the merchant ships are so cheap to transport goods! As for what is the doorway here, only the gods know." You just need to take a look. This is the authorized emblem of the true Arcane Research Commons. ”

Dongzi, who was not far away, smiled and said to Le Lin and the others: "It seems that the Arcane Federation is in trouble." It seems that the forces behind it are manipulating this sea caravan. ”

Danila asked curiously, "Why are you manipulating it?" This kind of route is a loss, and it will only be manipulated if there is no place to use the money. ”

Dongzi smiled and said: "I am losing money now, but I can destroy the source of income of the Arcane Federation, which is more advantageous and difficult to deal with than fighting it head-on." ”

Rafina asked, "Could it be that the Three Towers Federation is doing a good job? ”

Dongzi said lightly: "Who knows? Anyway, regardless of our affairs, let's go and see elsewhere." ”

It didn't take long to walk along the riverbank of the harbor when a voice was heard in a cacophony of people's ears: "The Black Iron God Statue of the Mahapas Empire." There is Hathor, the goddess of love, to bless your children with a healthy growth, and a statue of Sebek, the god of the river, to bless you with a safe ride on the river. Protected from wind and waves and bandits, and a statue of Hazel, the goddess of pleasure, to bless you with a more harmonious relationship between husband and wife."

The bearded merchant was shouting when he saw several men and women in the caster's robes approaching. One of the delicate-faced women asked expectantly, "Is there a statue of Sso, the god of erudition and wisdom?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it suspiciously before he said, "Ordinary people rarely ask about that god. ^^Aishang Novel Network ^^ Do you really respect him?"

Seeing that Ravena nodded solemnly, he suddenly smiled enthusiastically and said, "Ah, come up and talk about it." With that, he glanced at the female mage. Then he was the first to turn around and walk into the cabin.

Dongzi whispered to Raphna, "It seems that he used a spell similar to the Honest Domain just now, and it seems that he is discerning your intentions. Why is it so mysterious? It's like a spies meeting each other. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Danila explain, "The Western Continent is the jurisdiction of the mage's guardian god Hursa. ”

Immediately understood: I see, I heard that the god Sso also has an arcane realm, and if he openly sells it here, he will definitely collide with the local land snake, the mage patron god Hursa.

Suddenly he asked, "But why did he openly sell the statues of the goddess of mercy and the god of the river?" Only then did he remember: there were no gods related to maternal love and gods related to rivers in the Western Continent. So the gods who govern this area can also tolerate their existence.

The three of them followed into the cramped, damp cabin, where a golden image of the god hung on an entire wall opposite. The sturdy human body is a bird head like a falcon, and the shape of a faint sunlight behind the head is extremely realistic. Beneath it lies a small blue sea, an orange-yellow desert and a pleasing oasis. There is also a shiny river of clear color running through it, and it divides into more than a dozen streams near the sea to form a pattern that resembles a lotus flower. It seems that the mountains, rivers and the earth are all illuminated by the brilliance of this god Horus, and there is a supreme power and light.

Dongzi even clearly felt that the statue of Horus with the bird's head in the picture even radiated a mixed divine effect! It was a combination of spells such as "Divine Protection", "Divine Grace", and "Reverence", and the cabin was filled with strong positive energy. If an ordinary undead entered the cabin, they would be burned at least or burned on the spot! The identity of this businessman is really suspicious!

The merchant went over to the tightly sealed cabinets, opened the sturdy locks, and carefully took out a fist-sized statue of Silko made of oak and said, "This idol is made of old oak that has been specially treated, and is not only as hard as iron. ^^ first 3q^^ and excellent corrosion resistance. Even if you soak it in seawater for three years, it will not rot in the slightest. For your sake, I will charge you half the price. ”

While Rafina and the others were chattering with the merchants. Dongzi peeked inside the cabinet. Filled with statues of Hathor, the goddess of love, Saybeck, the god of rivers, and Hazel, the goddess of pleasure, this is a statue seller.

After Rafina paid a few silver coins and happily took the small statue of the toibis head, Dongzi suddenly asked the merchant unexpectedly: "It seems that your accent is not a local, is it from the Mahapas Empire in the southern continent?"

The merchant was slightly stunned. He immediately responded, "No, you misunderstood. I am not from the Mahapas Empire, but grew up on the eastern islands of the Western Continent. Because the family had business dealings with the Mahapas Empire, they believed in the great God Horus, the Light of Truth. I often go back and forth between the coastal areas and the northern countries to do some small business, but it is difficult to do business these days. It takes more than half a year to go back and forth each time, and the money you can make is enough to barely make ends meet. ”

Dongzi asked casually: "Then you should have come here last winter." ”

The merchant was so unprepared that he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he hesitated to "um". saw Dongzi smiling and nodding, and without saying a word, he took a few women out of the cabin and got off the boat.

When he had gone far, Dongzi muttered in a low voice: "It's last winter again! The water elemental god land last winter, and the Lord of Eternity was also last winter, and last winter was really a lot of right and wrong." He said this in Chinese, but Rafina next to him listened. He asked with great interest, "What were you talking about? Is it some kind of ancient prayer?"

Rafina nodded but asked, "The last time you told me the difference between piety, fanaticism and true faith, I also figured out the truth, but now I don't have the slightest chance to go to sea to realize my dream, not even a chance to be a true believer." \\\Aishang Novel Network.net\\\ And how to be in harmony with the gods?"

And Dongzi on the other side really didn't disappoint her, and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter, I also know a little bit about your divine doctrine." You have to know that every qiē deity affirms in his teachings a certain way of living optimally, and an attitude of living in harmony with that way. But the way of life is not something you can achieve if you want to, for example, you can't go to sea to explore the vast world thousands of miles away, and you can't be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you can play the world with outstanding wit. Or Sienworth, the god of nobility and patron saint, who probably affirms and protects the aristocracy, because only the nobility is closest to the way he wants to live. And it is very difficult for him to do this. But it's not that you can't act according to his way of life without a way of life! Naturally, one cannot act in the manner of the nobility in any word or deed. But some of the spirits of the aristocracy can be borrowed and even extended. The god Sienworth emphasized that a nobleman had an obligation to be an example and a model for his people. The god Sienworth emphasized that the nobles have the supreme doctrine of guarding a territory and ensuring the long-term peace of the territory, and you are not a lord, so you can naturally do things that cannot protect the territory, but by extension, you can protect the land of a village and the domain of a family. The things you do are small, but they are connected to the heart of the god Seanworth! More importantly, in the process of doing things, you will constantly find that your heart will be withdrawn, feared, and even bored with lazy feelings and thoughts. When a foolish person encounters this phenomenon, he either changes his mind according to the flow of his mind, or he sincerely repents and atones for his sins, and uses all kinds of methods to suppress this thought, thinking that in this way he will be able to please the gods. Oh, of course, this method can indeed please the gods, but it is destined to become a standard pious believer, and no matter how hard he tries, he will not become a true believer!"

Rafina was listening energetically, but Le Lin beside her couldn't help but ask anxiously: "How to become an orthodox?" The word "orthodoxy" seemed to be unfamiliar to her in her words, apparently when Rafina chatted with her, Dongzi's analysis of the relationship between gods and believers also lowered to her.

Dongzi smiled: "You, you are the most concerned about this matter." **Aishang Novel Network .com**, today I will also tell you what I have been thinking and thinking for many years. A few people walked to a secluded public garden in the middle of the city. Walking on the fresh and fragrant green grass, he leaned against a beautifully carved artificial water spring and said slowly: "There is a saying called seeking the same breath and corresponding with the same voice. To be close to the gods, understand why the gods are different, what kind of core ideas the gods you revere, how they respond to other mental challenges, and why the gods respond the way they do. This involves the inner choice of the gods. Each of the different gods has its own natural inner preferences, such as Mother Earth's preference for caring for the land and crops, Sienworth, the noble and guardian goddess, for the noble and the guardian of a city, and Cusport, the god of order and power, who is clearly looking for things that follow order. But they are not stubborn people who are stupid and stick to the old order. The basic doctrine it advocates is that order is necessary and must be powerful, and that order without power is only hypocrisy, and power without order is only madness. ”

Lelin couldn't stand this lengthy pre-confession. He asked impatiently, "We all know this, the key is how to become a true believer!"

Dongzi smiled and said, "You know they are like this. But do you know why they are like this, why they lower or even abandon other ideas, and promote certain ideas, why these ideas are so important to them, and if they can find out why, they can get close to the gods on their own. ”

Le Lin hurriedly asked first: "The concept of the gods is clear at a glance." What else is there to explore, and even if so, where to start?"

Dongzi smiled lightly: "This question, I also mentioned it to Rafina last time. It's not difficult to say the idea of the gods, but the difficulty is why you can't do it yourself. The reasons for this are nothing more than two, which are nothing more than external and internal. Externally, you do not understand the importance of the ideas and ways of behaving in the outside world. I only know that it is the way it is, but I don't know why it is the way it is. The superficial understanding is superficial, and the inner is the desire to act according to the good teachings depicted by the gods, even though there is a preference for the gods in their hearts. However, in reality, when encountering some obstacles, large and small, there will be a lot of thoughts that interfere with one's own ideas. And you don't know how to deal with these thoughts, so you either go with your thoughts, or you close your hearts and think you're pleasing God. But I don't know that it is blocking an important way for me to get close to the heart of the gods!"

Dongzi saw that Le Lin and Ravena were both waiting for the next with blazing eyes, so he said seriously: "You also know that the gods will fight against other gods who oppose you, just like those feelings and thoughts in a person's heart that hinder their beliefs and shake their beliefs, you must keep fighting against these things, only by defeating them can you make your own earth soul more and more pure in the direction of the kingdom of God, and in the end your soul will become a part of the kingdom of God in this world!"

Rafina trembled slightly with excitement and asked, "Is this really the case?" and Le Lin next to him immediately chuckled: "He guessed it himself." Hehehe, it's kind of like that. ”

Dongzi was not angry either, because they didn't know. Inducing gods on earth is a very difficult thing to do. Therefore, the method of inspiring ghosts and gods is much stricter than here, and the research is much more in-depth. And these methods need to be supported by rigorous, long-term and long-lasting psychological methods, otherwise they will be drowned in long-term unanswered prayers. Since these methods can be practiced on the harsh earth, it is natural that they can also be practiced in this world.

Thinking of this, Dongzi suddenly secretly suspected: "Since the communication and activity of the power of the gods in this world is relatively simple, there are more cases, and the Order will be accustomed to solving problems by violent or political means. Its theoretical system is only far less perfect than that of the earth. Because they don't need to be like Earth, where it is difficult to obtain divine support, they can only win by rhetoric and wisdom. And the basic spiritual classics I read are also relatively rough, is it too extravagant to expect them to have a profound theoretical guidance system? Hehe, maybe I haven't met people with advanced theories. ”。 Just said: "It's true that some of them are guesses, but they are not blind guesses." However, I have read a lot of historical documents, and I have experienced and compared them in actual combat. O Rafina, it is human nature that any person has many emotions and thoughts, whether firm or vulnerable, gentle or irritable, united or selfish, all of which arise in certain situations. And an orthodox believer does not deny these things, but he has obtained a way to effectively combat them. In fact, I also talked about these contents last time, which is nothing more than to understand the importance of the spirit of the doctrine to the external world, and to recognize the vacillation of oneself internally and straighten out one's thinking according to the doctrine or various scriptures, so that one's way of thinking is closer and closer to the understanding of the gods. In this way, you can surpass ordinary believers and fanatics, and become true believers who can naturally resonate with the kingdom of God! Of course, this process is also very difficult, and you must first find out in the doctrine the state of mind and heart that is pleasing to the gods. Then keep your mind in the state required by the teachings, and let the gods call your way of thinking a habit. Therefore, for a person who is interested in the path of an orthodox, how to choose a god on the basis of understanding oneself is the most important thing! Once you choose a god whose concept does not suit you, it is impossible to maintain the desired state of mind, and it is impossible to purify one's way of thinking and become a special branch of the kingdom of God. ”

Dongzi paused, let the two of them think about it for a while, and then said, "So the first thing to do is to understand yourself! Only by understanding your own interests and abilities can you choose the right gods." Rafina, I would like to advise you once again: Have you known yourself carefully, have you cleared your own assumptions, and prepared yourself not to give in in the face of suffering? Only if you know your desires and abilities beforehand. ”

Rafina hesitated for a moment with a solemn face before slowly speaking: "I have some preparations, but I am afraid that if I encounter too many difficulties, I may not be able to support it" She was originally very afraid that she would show a disappointed expression when she saw "Pastor Elilu, the Orthodox Believer", but "Pastor Elilu" chuckled gently: "Didn't I say that? In fact, those obstacles, and even the movement of the heart, are the ladder to the Orthodox One! Holiness is the path of righteous believers without all kinds of adversity. This is just as ore cannot be turned into shining gold without being washed by water and scorched by fierce fire, and it is impossible for a person to manifest his divine potential without encountering the tempering of adversity. In other words, sacredness itself needs to be tempered to be produced! Just as a warrior needs constant training to make his body violent, so a true believer must temper his mind and cognitive abilities in order to discover the same divine nature as the gods. So the most important thing is not what difficulties you will encounter, but most importantly, if you do encounter great adversity, and this kind of adversity is too strong for you to overcome, how do you choose? How do you deal with your own vacillation and retreat?"
