Chapter 1 Chapter 85 Pope's Rumors

Following the group of believers who participated in the meeting, Lin Qi and his party walked for another two days, and more and more believers came from all over the world on the road during these two days. A team marched in line, with uniform clothing and strict discipline, walking on the street full of momentum, and at the same time, Lin Qi and several people sighed.

Although Lin Qi couldn't see it, he could feel the scale of these disciples by hearing the sound of thousands of people's footsteps in unison, and the sound of Xuan Miao's incessant chanting.

And at this time, Qingyang Town was also displayed in front of Lin Qi and the others, only to see that there was a flat mountain belly in the embrace of the mountains, and thousands of square medicinal fields were neatly planned in the mountainside, and all of them were planted with good spiritual materials. And in the middle of those medicine fields is Qingyang Town.

This town is much larger than other towns, there are nearly 10,000 large and small buildings alone, and the streets are neatly planned during the period.

And Jin Shan Po was also surprised on the side.

"What the hell is a town, isn't it a frame, the town in my hometown is only a street with more than 100 houses, which is too exaggerated. ”

Lin Qi also became interested when he heard this, and Jin Shanpo also gave Lin Qi a detailed description of what this town looked like.

Lin Qi also felt the scale of this town in his mind, if his hometown had such a scale, would he still fall into the catastrophe of the grass robbers?

And at this time, Su Jianxin also found a farmer outside Qingyang Town to inquire about some information, the old farmer was sitting in front of his vegetable field in his sixties and seventy, holding a cigarette pouch and leisurely looking at the passing disciples, and he was also very enthusiastic in the face of Su Jianxin's inquiry.

"Most of the people in this town are farmers who grow spiritual herbs and elixirs here, but most of them live outside the town like me. Most of the houses in the town are the families of the believers or the cultivators. ”

Lin Qi also asked at this time.

"Then old man, do you know what kind of Pope of the Chiluan Sect is?"

When the old man heard that Lin Qi had heard about the Pope, a sincere smile appeared on his old face.

"If you want to say that the Pope is a great and good person, she is a good person, and her teachings are profound, and she often invites us old peasants to her house to preach the teachings. And to help the old and sick in our town, you see, although I have no children, I am no worse than those who have children, all thanks to the grace of the Pope. ”

Lin Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, but the news he got here was different from what Patriarch Xia said, the rumored Chiluan Divine Sect enclosed himself and developed his power under the pretense of being a god, how could such remarks not match the image of the old man.

At this time, the old man also looked at Lin Qi and said.

"The young man wants to find the Pope to cure his eye disease, the young man can go with confidence, as long as he is looking for the Pope, the Pope will definitely not turn a blind eye, but don't go to the divine guide, this person is not as easy to talk to as the Pope. ”

Lin Qi also replied: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

And Su Jianxin also thought of something and asked.

"The old man took the liberty to ask, can the old man know the real name of the Pope, if we go to visit and want to bring the gift with us, we must not know the name. ”

The old man smiled: "The young man is too careful, the Pope will not accept anyone's gifts for a clean person. Just go to the Pope. And you can ask the right person about the Pope's real name, and not many people in this town may know it. It was when I was a child, when I was frail and sick, and the Pope helped me heal, and it was when I was young and ignorant that I asked the Pope's name, and I learned that the Pope's surname was Shu, and his name was Cao Qing. ”

The old man paused here and said with some doubts.

"Actually, I only have a little doubt about the name of the Pope, there are not many people in the town who know about this matter, but I remember clearly, although the genealogy in the ancestral hall has been removed, I heard my grandfather say that the surname Shu is not available in other places, and only in our Qingyang Town more than 300 years ago there was this surname. ”

At this time, Lin Qi also remembered the rumors about the records of this place.

"It is rumored that the Pope came to Qingyang Town more than a hundred years ago and got the opportunity of Chi Luan to establish the Church so far, but her surname is the only one here, is the Pope a local?"

The old man also scratched his head and said, "The Pope did come more than a hundred years ago, and this is right from my father. And the ancestral hall genealogy has been modified, and the details are unknown. ”

This situation made Lin Qi and the three of them a little surprised, and the Pope seemed to have become more and more mysterious.

The three of them said goodbye to the old man and entered the town.

At this time, most of the people in Qingyang Town were clad in religious uniforms, and there were not many people dressed like them. Because of the old man's reminder before, the three of them wanted to go directly to the Pope.

After asking around, I learned that the Pope did not live in the town.

Instead, he lived in a small village under the mountain behind the town, but the road to that village was strictly blocked by the cultists, and no one could pass through it except for the divine guidance path.

This made it difficult for Lin Qi and the others.

"It is true that the Divine Guide and the Pope are two factions, and it is true that the two sides are separated within one religion, and the two heads govern this Pope, if he is scheming and profound, he is a master of employing people, and it is okay to be sure that he can control the Divine Guide. But what the old man said about the Pope is that he is kind and benevolent, and he is good at scheming, and it is only certain that he will divide the church. ”

Su Jianxin said with some worry behind his back.

And Lin Qi also said.

"Then we'll have to go to the Divine Guide?"

"It shouldn't be difficult to meet the Pope in the name of our Impermanence Sect, let's try it first. ”

Su Jianxin said and the three of them walked towards the church.

All the way to the center of the town, there are many people in the town who are worshipping on the ground, although people come and go, but it is very regular, and from time to time there are bursts of bells to go back to the sky above Qingyang Town, and there is a smell of incense, and the feeling of the holy place of the altar is generated.

"It is worthy of being a big sect, and the canons are strict and restrictive, and if the conference starts, it will definitely be even more shocking. ”

Su Jianxin said after observing.

But Jin Shan Po pouted and said.

"Who knows how many real believers there are, I think most of them are parallel goods, and they are called believers if they are well-dressed and good-looking? ”

Lin Qi said when he heard this.

"It's better to say less bad things when asking for things on other people's territory, and you are not afraid of really offending the gods and Buddhas. ”

Jin Shan Poyan came to Lin Qi's side and said.

"What the eldest brother said is, but if it is a true god and Buddha, his state of mind will not be narrow-minded, and the rude words of my coarse people, the Mahayana Dao cultivates the mind, and the advanced cultivators need the golden body statue of brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes to educate the world? ”

Lin Qi was surprised when he heard this.

"You kid can still say such things, it's really not talented. ”

Jin Shanpo touched his head and said.

"Hehe, I'm not looking for a way for you to read most of the books in the Wenyu Pavilion. ”

As they spoke, they came to the church hall.

stepped forward and was stopped by a few disciples, Su Jianxin took out a token and said.

"We are impermanent, and we want to let the Pope know if we want to meet him. ”

The disciple said, glancing at the token in his hand.

"The distinguished guest of the Shangzong will wait here for a while, and I will immediately report it. ”

With that, he turned around and entered the main hall.

Lin Qi and the others waited for a while, and then saw a person walk out of the door.

This person is quite tall and a head taller than Lin Qi and the others, but he is very thin, although his whole body is shrouded in a black and red robe, but his sunken cheeks and thin forehead can be seen. The man looked to be about forty or fifty years old, probably older, and his rather rigid complexion looked a little old.

He went out and returned the Impermanence Order in his hand to Su Jianxin and said.

"It was originally a distinguished guest of the sect, come and invite you inside. ”

As he spoke, he led a few people into the main hall.
