Volume II: The Lotus and the Dragon Chapter 84 The Holy See Worship

It is true that the meta-people are one of the most powerful groups in the world, but the meta-ones themselves are a complex group.

The Elemental is the origin of everything, and it is like a tall trunk that carries the main branch of the Originator, and the other side branches that are distributed on it.

Meta-Beings can manipulate elements, but it doesn't mean that all people who manipulate elements are Meta-Beings.

The exception to these is the "magical" person.

The power of the Universal Yuan comes from nature, from the beginning of all things, but these people with magical powers, their power comes from the gods.

They are innate with power like the primordials, and most of their power comes from faith, which is given by the "gods" of their beliefs.

The elements that are not comparable to the elements are all innate, and these people who manipulate "magic".

After all, Xia Worm is silent, and no one knows how this power came to these people and how it circulated.

After all, these people can't cross the Yuan in general, because even if they are gods, they are all part of this ancient realm, the Heavenly Dao, how can they surpass nature?

But even if it is difficult for them to threaten the position of the Yuan, they are also hostile to the Yuanzhi and others.

Because the source of their power is strange and taboo, unless they are really priests who serve the gods, they will be more or less hostile and contemptuous in their geographical distribution.

Magic, sometimes I don't know if having power is a blessing from the gods or a calamity for myself.

Holy See

Xing Zhen and his party changed their clothes, wearing the clothes of a pious prayer, with a solemn expression, and came to the door of the Holy See.

Ying Chenji was going to prepare something to sneak in at night, so she didn't come with them.

They walked in a well-behaved manner, and it seemed that they had indeed come to worship sincerely.

But the funny thing is that in fact, none of these people are true believers, and all of them are excellent actors.

Xing Xuan stepped forward, and the wooden priests guarding the gate blocked their doors, arching their hands at him.

"These sons, miss, today is not a day of etiquette. A wooden priest stepped forward and spoke.

Xing Xuan nodded at them and took out his jade order.

"That's right, ladies and gentlemen, my friend and his cousin died just two days ago, but he couldn't get back in time from out of town, and he wants to see his cousin for the last time. Xing Xuan explained.

The men raised their heads and arched their hands, "I can understand the Almighty Creator God, Venerable Knight, but I cannot let you into the cemetery. ”

"Why is that?" Xing Xuan glanced imperceptibly at the eaves.

"The cemetery is protected by the gods before the feast day, and we serve the gods, and if you let you go in and bump into the gods, we will be guilty. Na Mu Duo clasped his hands together and said, "So unfortunately, I can't open the door to the cemetery for you, and it is understandable that people are normal, but we can't neglect to serve the gods for the sake of your common feelings." ”

"You mean, we can't go in anyway, can we?" said Xingxi.

"No, for the sake of your status, you can enter the main hall, you can do Mass, or can you give us your mind and we will give it to the deceased?" said Mu Duo.

"Why can you go in?" Amon said suddenly.

"The gods are our masters, and we need to serve them. ”

"I can't trust you, what if you take our intentions to yourself?" Amon said.

"The creator God is above, we are the servants of the gods, we have clean hands and minds, and we will not do anything against the gods. Na Mu Duo said, a flash of anger flashing in his eyes, "But since you don't believe us, then I can't help it." ”

"Then let's make a Mass, and please lead the way. Xing Xuan smiled and stretched out his arm and said.

Mu Duo nodded expressionlessly.

"Please come with me. ”

Xing Xuan and Chen and the others glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths rose, and they followed the Mu Duo.

Mass, to put it bluntly, is a form of sacrifice to cleanse the sins of the deceased, asking the gods who are in charge of life and death to spare the soul of the deceased and let it transcend.

Xing Xuan had just knelt in front of the statue in front of the temple when there was a commotion behind him.

"Are you going to watch us when we do Mass, we are not thieves, we don't want what you have here!" Amon rebuked angrily.

"Please don't make a noise, this is the seat of God!" said Mu Duo expressionlessly, "This is the Holy See, even if the hall master comes, you have to abide by the rules!"

"You!" Amon stepped forward and glared at the papal seekers

The two attendants behind this Mu Duo had a circulating star array in their hands, staring at Amon with fierce eyes.

The other people around him looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was angry.

Xing Xuan turned his head and stared at the gloomy Mu Duo for a few seconds, the corners of his mouth raised.

Amun

Xinglu stopped Amon and stood up, arching his hand towards the wooden priest and striking a round.

"How offended. ”

That Mu Duo's face was still gloomy, but Xu was aware of his gaffe and restrained a little.

He bowed slowly, his arms stretched forward.

"Please. ”

Xing Zhen smiled, quietly tugged at the corner of Amon's clothes, and then turned to the idol.

Amun understood, knelt beside the star, and folded his hands.

He wanted to speak, but when he saw that Xing Yan had his eyes closed and was praying very reverently, he closed his mouth again.

A short time later, Xing Zhen and the others walked out of the temple, and the wooden priests stood on the steps, watching them leave.

The other Mu Duo seemed to be muttering something to the gloomy Mu Duo, who didn't say a word, just stared at Xing Duo and the others.

"Thieves, thieves!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind the Holy See

The attention of the crowd was drawn by this shout, and they followed the voice.

At this moment, a dark shadow passed over the dome of the Holy See, like a crow casually shuttling through the sky.

"Quick, catch the thief, catch the thief!" At this shout, a group of guards rushed out, but the figure had already gradually shrunk and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.

Looking at the dark shadow in the distance, those people and horses were out of reach.

"Quick, go and count what's missing. A gray-haired old Mu Duo was the first to react and hurriedly said.

"Yes," the captain of the guard gave the order, and hurriedly walked down the steps to direct the guards.

Xing Xuan watched the people scatter in a panic, and a subtle smile rose into her lips.

"The Holy See seems to have something to do, so I won't bother with it. Xing Xuan said politely.

"It made the knight smile. The old Mu Duo hurriedly returned the salute.

Xing Zhen smiled kindly, and with Amon and Yingchenji, he turned around and walked out of the Holy See.

Not long - the inn

Xing Zhen listened to Shang Ji's explanation, looked at the sketch, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's all around the guard, and it looks like it's going to activate automatically at night. Shang Jixu said, "But I don't know why there are so few guards in the east, and a few adults should be able to crack it with that as a breakthrough." ”

"Very well, Shang Ji, this is a very important message. Amon on the side said, "Let you become a thief, Yuandian is really a talent." ”

Shang Ji laughed innocently on the side, arched his hands and trotted in front of Xing Xuan, looking very flattering.

"That lord, that reward ........."

The corners of Xing Xuan's mouth twitched, and he tilted his head, he couldn't help laughing.

"Take it. Xing Yu handed him a bag of Yuan Ye, Shang Ji hurriedly met it with both hands, opened it and looked at it, and immediately overjoyed.

"Shang Ji, do you have anything else to care about besides money?" Amon said with a smile.

"My lord, this money, everyone says it's a bastard, but for someone in my business, money is the whole life, and making money is the greatest pleasure in life, and even the only belief. Shang Ji squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, as if he was very proud of this great belief.

The few people in Xing Zhen all looked at Shang Ji with tears and laughter.

"Okay, everyone has their own aspirations, you do things very well, and you will not be short of money to go against your faith. Xing Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just that don't steal anymore in the future, it's not good if you get caught." ”

"Thank you, sir. Shang Ji arched his hand.

"So you didn't think about negotiating with them in the first place. At this time, lying on the window and silently watching the people coming and going downstairs, Yingchenji, who was busy with traffic, turned her head and said to Xing Zhen.

"Childe is really thoughtful, if it weren't for a bird's-eye view from the air, he wouldn't have known that there would be a royal guard in the cemetery, of course, he couldn't have imagined. ”

"Yes, Xiao Zhen, who would go to the cemetery to guard the emperor if they have nothing to do, afraid of stealing ghosts?" Amon was puzzled.

"It can't be said that there is no intention of negotiating with them at all. Xing Yu said, "As for the matter of guarding the palace, I judged it from Ying Chenji's words. ”

As he spoke, Xing Xuan looked at Chen, who was sitting next to him.

"Because Chen has been to the Holy See, the cemetery in Kuicheng can be entered and exited at will, and there are not so many rules. ”

But Yingchenji said that this is the custom of Tianyou County, and it has been in recent years. ”

Hearing this, Ying Chenji's heart suddenly became clear, and her eyes looked at Xing Zhen with a hint of admiration.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to go. Xing Xuan glanced at the sea of clouds rolling outside and said.

They walked out of the inn in a group of people

Xing Xuan turned around and said to Shang Ji, "Shang Ji, you go and send Chen back to the Yuan Palace." ”

"Brother Zhen, I'm going too. Before Shang Ji could speak, Chen said.

Hoshigo smiled and rubbed her hair.

"We're going to sneak in. Xing Xuan said in a low voice, "Since it is an infiltration, naturally the fewer people the better, don't worry, there will be no danger." ”

"But........." Chen frowned, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Amon on the side.

"Chen, just wait for our good news, you are specialized in treatment, wouldn't it be difficult for you to sneak in with us and drag down your brother?"

Chen didn't speak anymore, but he still looked worried.

"Okay, that's it. Xing Xuan said.

"Decide what?" At this moment, a majestic voice sounded in Xing Xuan's ears, startling him with a spirit.

He hurriedly turned around and found an old man in an official uniform with a resolute face looking at him immediately.

His sky-breaking eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were deep, his silver hair was like a halberd, and he was the eldest grandson Jing.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan and the people around him hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"I've seen the general. ”

"Hahahaha, get up. Eldest Sun Jing got off the horse, and with a wave of his left hand, everyone in Xing Jing was lifted up by a force of yuan.

His wrinkled but hard hand slapped on Xing Xuan's shoulder, and his face looked very happy.

"You just said that you decided, is there something wrong?" Changsun Jing said.

"Ah, there's something. Xing Yu replied, "Well, we plan to go to Xicheng, but it's a little late, and the county town has not been peaceful in the past two days, so I thought about sending Chen back first." ”

Eldest Sun Jing nodded.

"I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, if it's not urgent, let your friends go first, and you will talk to the old man. ”

"Ah........." Xing Xuan hesitated, but quickly said, "No problem, old general. ”

Xing Xuan glanced at Amun, Amon understood, and arched his hand: "The next official is leaving." ”

With that, Amon and the others left here.

"Please, General. Xing Yan stretched out his forearm respectfully.

It was already dark, and the remnants of the sun shone on the vast lake, and the fisherman was holding his boat penny in the center of the lake, gradually drawing closer to the shore.

An old man and a young man stood by the stone fence by the lake, looking at the shops that had been lit up opposite.

"Xing Naiger Zhen, Xing Naiger, the old man has lived for nearly a thousand years, and he has not heard of this surname. The old man said suddenly.

Xing Zhen smiled and did not speak.

"Xiaozhen, do you have ideals?" said Changsun Jing suddenly.

"Me?" Xing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment.

"The old general, Xing Xuan has no ambitions, and only thinks that he and the people close to him can be safe and secure, and have no worries about food and clothing. Xing Xuan said with a smile.

The corners of Changsun Jing's mouth rose and he smiled bitterly.

"Yes, peace and security, food and clothing, and in today's era, it has become a luxury. ”

As he spoke, Changsun Jing turned his head, stared at Xing Zhen and said, "But the old man has lived for nearly a thousand years and has read countless people, and I can see many things from your eyes." ”

"The resentment hidden in the heart, the forbearance, the unspoken ambition, the wisdom of strategizing, the ambition to show the ambition, and the uniqueness, and the contradictory good thoughts, or obsessions. ”

The more Xing Zhen listened, the more shocked he became, and he looked at Changsun Jing in a daze.

"Old General.........

"Don't worry, it's a blessing to be ambitious and ambitious, which is why the old man appreciates you. The eldest grandson Jing stroked his beard and said, "Although you are still young, the old man has a hunch that you will definitely achieve a career." ”

"If there really is a day, Xiaoxuan, you don't forget what you pursued at the beginning and what you were originally like, and don't forget what you chased for yourself. ”

"The most important thing is not to lose the world. ”

Changsun Jing's beard swayed with the evening breeze, and his cloudy eyes stared at the fisherman who was on the shore, and whispered in a low voice.
