The hustle and bustle of the crowd gradually dispersed, each busy going, because it was still early, there was a brief desertion in the temple, waiting for tourists from all over the world to arrive one after another.

Wu Tian and Virginia stood at the front of the team, and it was estimated that they would not be able to squeeze out for a while, so the two of them took a brief tour of the temple inside and outside under the leadership and introduction of Virginia.

"Elizabeth must be bored to be out by herself, I'll go out and take her for a walk! ”

Maybe she would rather stay with the dog than accompany Wu Tian.

"Go, go, you're welcome. ”

Wu Tian waved his hand and sent Virginia away.

"By the way, you must remember to visit the priest of the card in the Hall of the Pillars, he not only sees good luck and evil, but is also known as a dream interpreter, and he is very effective!" Before leaving, Virginia turned and instructed.

There are only a few people in the huge courtyard, Wu Tian raised his eyes and found that it was empty, and it was a must in terms of design.

Entering through the tower gate, a gravel road leads to the staircase leading to the Hall of Pillars, like the realm of the gods, where no forks are allowed.

On the left side of the road, rockeries, trees, flowers, stone benches, etc., are arranged in order to form a park-like recreational area, while on the right side of the road is a different scene, with a holy cistern almost all the road cut off from it, and behind it is a row of priests' houses and a heavy bronze bell......

"I guess it's the bronze bell......"

Last night's whimpering bell, like a timed alarm clock, echoed in his ears from time to time, reminding Wu Tian that he should take action.

From the entrance of the tower gate to the hall of the pillars, he searched and searched, looked and looked, and it seemed that there was no road through the holy pool at all, only at the end he found a dirt path that did not look like a road, it should be passable, right?

As a glorious primary school teacher, Wu Tian often taught his students: there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road. Not only that, but he also has to use practical actions as an example to achieve the effect of combining theory and practice, which is his duty.

Anyway, let's talk about it later, if it's okay, I'll talk about it slowly.

The bronze bell is a "straight" bell mouth design, visual observation, the bronze bell is nearly two meters high, the caliber is more than one meter, the bell is cast with scriptures, but it is written with hieroglyphs, Wu Tian said that it can be seen in the clouds. But he was able to recognize some of the symbols depicted on it—lotus, papyrus, and temples—and found the image of the supreme god.

God seems to be everywhere.

Touching the bronze bell with his hand, he had a lot of thoughts, about the ghost fire, about the dead soldiers......

Who rang the bell in the middle of the night? Is it human, and who will it be? Priests? Impossible. Outsiders? Unlikely either. What about the ghost fire......

"Young man, what are you thinking?"

Just as Wu Tian was distracted, a person slowly walked towards him, turned around and looked, startled, isn't this the first priest who took off his clothes and took a bath?

He bowed respectfully, not even knowing whether this conscious initiative was due to being immersed in the culture of faith or the personal respect for the old man in front of him. Although in terms of his true identity, he still belongs to one of the gods that the old man believes in.

"I'm ...... I'm thinking...... The history of this bronze bell must have been for a long time," Wu Tian replied vaguely.

"Actually, after the temple was completed half a year ago, the bronze bell began to be cast and put into use, so it didn't take long. The First Priest looked at each other calmly, his eyes, which had been clouded by old age, but still so bright and clear.

"Oh...... It's beautiful...... It's beautiful...... I like it very much......" Then the embarrassed Wu Tian shifted his gaze to the bronze bell.

"You have a lot of distractions about this bell, don't you?"

The first priest still spoke in a calm tone, and his gestures revealed a calming aura, he was deeply infected, and Shicai's still flustered heart slowly calmed down.

At this moment, Wu Tian was deeply aware that even if the priests revealed this kind of stability, they were more likely to stay in their own peace, and like the first priest, there were very few who could exude and infect others, which may be the reason why he was able to successfully reach the top.

Wu Tian decided to open the skylight and speak brightly, and euphemistically expressed his doubts to the first priest.

"Yes, I have things I don't understand. ”

"You may tell me that I may be able to provide a trivial answer. ”

"Honorable First Priest, may I ask why the bronze bell rings at night?"

He looked at the bronze bell, and then at Wu Tian, and his kind face was still as calm as before.

"Since the bronze bell was cast, it has been ringing at night, and no one has struck it without permission, and people have long since become accustomed to the unknown sound of the bell, which is a warning to the Most High God, whose reign is still pervasive even in the night. ”

"But......" Wu Tian almost blurted out, but he quickly controlled himself, and such a straightforward question might cause discomfort and suspicion to the other party.

As if seeing through Wu Tian's careful thoughts, the first priest naturally picked up the words: "What you wonder about is why the ghost fire appeared with the ringing of the bell recently," after receiving Wu Tian's hesitant nod in response, he continued: "There is an inevitable connection between everything, and the appearance of the ghost fire is also the same. Since the bell represents the ubiquity of God's rule, it is an obvious fact that its choice to appear in that moment means openly confronting God. ”

Wu Tian looked at the first priest, there was a little more faint excitement on his calm face, and those inverted deep eyes were refracting some kind of strange brilliance at this time.

After a while, he continued to ask, "May I ask what the ghost fire is?"

"In the temple, the ghost fire has never appeared, so I can't answer. But if you have a bold guess, you prefer to believe that it is man-made," he paused for a moment, and then uttered his guess, "perhaps the Emissary of Hades." ”

"Man-made, Hades emissary?"

Since being mistaken for the Hades Emissary for the first time, Wu Tian found that it seemed that the people here had a deep-seated hatred for the Hades Emissary, and from the mouth of the First Priest, maybe they also had some kind of spell?

He shook his head, feeling that his idea was too funny, and it was not a science fiction movie, how could there be so many fairy fights, although he had also thought about the possibility of human control before, but he quickly denied himself, and he rejected such a possibility from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Tian looked at the sincerity of the first priest, and he definitely didn't look like a person who was talking, could it be ...... Can humans really manipulate fire freely?

It seems that in this primitive society, there are infinite possibilities, and from the mouth of the innkeeper, I also know that as a god race, I also have a unique skill and a supreme divine skill.

The only thing that made it difficult for him to accept was that before he discovered the mystery of this magic in him, he had to accept the fact that the enemy he was about to face already had powerful spells.

Seeing that Wu Tian didn't react for a long time, the priest pulled him to sit on the stone bench next to him, Wu Tian was a little gracious, and finally sat down together under the mutual push.

"Young man, your distractions have not yet dissipated. ”

"Yes, Honorable First Priest, thank you very much for your answers, but my doubts remain, and I can only think and find answers on my own. ”

The priest smiled slightly, as if he was extremely pleased with Wu Tian's answer, as if he saw that the students he supervised had finally realized and broken through themselves. He calmly said, "This is very good, this is very good." ”

"Can you tell me the story of the temple?" Wu Tian immediately changed the topic in order to avoid silence.

"The story of the temple, that's a long, long time ago......"

The priest fell into his own memories, reorganizing the fragments of his memories into a large verbal expression.

"The construction of the temple was a project ordered by the Supreme God in order to let the world feel and benefit from his divinity, and although the temple was officially completed half a year ago, the construction process was very, very long. During this period, a lot of manpower and material resources were expended, but every worker involved in the construction never showed boredom and resistance, because they were willing to devote themselves to such a sacred cause, and God rewarded them richly: not only provided them with bread and beer, but also worked hard to improve their living and working conditions, and tried their best to meet their requests and requests, and even gave them a generous burial when they encountered accidents, instead of burying them on the spot. It is because of the generosity of the Most High God that the workers are gratefully devoted to their work and have created this immortal temple for God......"

It is true that many modern historical discoveries show that during the construction of the pyramids in ancient Egypt, it was confirmed that the so-called workers were not slaves, but rather a group of workers who were treated favorably, and who lived a free and easy life.

Although the evidence is conclusive, Wu Tian has always been reluctant to believe such a fact, because he insists that human beings are hypocritical, and that human history is the history of words and disguises. As a certain writer once said, a fresh vegetable cart is loaded with more truths than Cicero had in his best days.

As if he had met a confidant and was eager to reveal his soulmate, the First Priest continued to recount his memories of the temple, and he was completely immersed in his own memories and talked endlessly.

Wu Tian tried to persevere, sat where he was and pretended to listen carefully, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he made a request to say goodbye in advance.

Although the first priest was a little unsatisfied, he did not force him to stay in the end.

Behind Wu Tian's departure, the First Priest looked at the twelve statues in front of the Holy Water Pool, fell into deep thought, and whispered to himself, "The Lord of the Night's Watch is finally here, and the haunting should come to an end......
