The Vatican is one of the most sovereign and smallest in the world. At the same time, it is also one of the most stable countries.

The Vatican City State, abbreviated as "Vatican", is a landlocked city-state located in the highlands of Rome, the capital of Italy. It is also the smallest and least populous country in the world, with a land area of only 0.44 square kilometers. Because it borders Italy on all sides, it is called "Guoguo". It is the center of Catholicism in the world, the seat of the Holy See headed by the Pope, and the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population.

The Vatican means "City of the Prophets". In the 4th century, the Pope built the Cathedral of Constantine in the martyrdom of St. Peter, the disciple of Jesus, in the northwest corner of the city of Rome to commemorate it, and it was transformed into St. Peter's Basilica in the 15th ~ 16th century, becoming the place where the Catholic Church held the most solemn ceremony. In 756, the Frankish kings gave the city of Rome and its environs to the Pope, and the Papal States emerged in central Italy.

After the unification of Italy in 1870, the Pope was forced to retire to the Vatican Palace. In 1929, Italy signed the Lateran Treaty with the Pope, recognizing the Vatican as a sovereign state. The Vatican is a neutral country and its territory is sacrosanct.

Since most of the organs of the Holy See, the administrative organ of the Holy See, are located in Vatican City, the term "Vatican" may be used to refer to the Vatican City State, the "Vatican" region, the Holy See, or the residence of the Pope, depending on the occasion in which it is used. Although the Vatican does not have any laws regarding official languages, Italian is the most commonly spoken.

Because of the large number of religious people in the world, the Vatican has as important influence in the political and cultural fields as the United States, China, and Russia.

The Vatican is both a country and an organization, but its congregation is found in every corner of the world. Like a virus, it quickly spread to all parts of the world.

"Teacher, this is the Vatican of China? It's amazing. ”

Walking in the calm streets, Ye Yu and his party were not in a hurry to go to the Holy See General Altar, so they accompanied Li Sijian to visit the Vatican. It's also a revisit.

"How much does Si Jian know about this country that is both a country and a religion?"

Ye Ya looked at the eternal buildings and streets with reminiscence, and asked Li Sijian.

"It is the only country whose territory is almost entirely a World Heritage Site, with some of the most splendid Catholic churches and a staggering number of world-class art treasures.

It is not only a place of pilgrimage for countless devout believers, but also a place for tourists and art lovers from all over the world.

The central axis of the Vatican from top to bottom is:

Vatican Government Palace - St. Peter's Basilica, Square - Avenue de la Concorde. ”

Li Sijian showed a proud expression, she had been fascinated by this place since she was a child. It's just that her family is in the middle of the road and can't come here in person. But that didn't stop her from exploring. She wondered what her grandmother's wedding of the century had taken place.

"Looks like you've done a lot of homework. This is truly a remarkable place. Let's take a walk around the cathedral. You want to see your grandmother's wedding scene too, right?"

Ye Ya broke through the small wine in Li Sijian's heart with one word.

"Well, is that okay?"

Li Sijian cautiously glanced at the other two people, and then asked in a low voice.

"Absolutely. I'm going to revisit my old place. Ye Li dotingly scratched Li Sijian's nose and said.

The Thousand Illusion Demon didn't speak all the way, he didn't understand what Night Feather was thinking, but he understood that Night Feather wasn't the kind of person who would do meaningless things. Since Night Feather will take this old and young on the road. Explanation has its special significance, so he also turns a blind eye.

After coming to the church, Ye Li told Li Sijian about what happened at the wedding that year.

Now that I think about it, it seems to be as long ago as in my previous life.

"Teacher ......"

Li Sijian looked at her teacher with some distress, she didn't know how to comfort her, after this battle, she didn't want to continue. She didn't want Ye Ya to touch the scene again.

"All right, let's go to the Pope's main hall. You have an aunt there, and we're going to take her home this time. ”

Ye Li shook his head, and then led Li Sijian towards the empty Pope's main hall.

"Let's go. Night Feather understood the mood of the clone at this moment, and although he couldn't empathize, he remembered the Night Fairy who hadn't heard from him for a long time.

"His Majesty the Pope and several other lords have been waiting for you in the inner sanctum for a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, please come with the slaves and maids. ”

There are two lifelike statues of angels at the entrance of the main papal hall, and on either side of the door stand two nuns with beautiful faces.

When the two nuns saw Ye Yu and his party, they immediately said to several people in extremely fluent Chinese.

"I'm tired. Night Feather nodded slightly.

When the group followed the nun into the inner sanctum, it was as if they had arrived in another world.

The so-called main papal palace is not an imaginary palace at all. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to Kunlun Mountain.

The Pope's main hall is located in a primeval forest, and the degree of aura in it is comparable to that of the Infernal Gate on the Xuanwu Continent.

The Papal Palace is a city in the sky, and there are seven palaces of the same size and color around the main papal palace.

According to the nun, the seven palaces belonged to the seven archbishops of the Holy See.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the slaves and maids will retire first. Your Majesty, the seven bishops, and the angels are already in the Heavenly City. ”

The nun smiled and bowed to the group before leaving.

"It's never good to go in hastily. Let the old man tell them. ”

After making eye contact with Night Feather, the Thousand Illusion Demon understood that he had to turn passive into active.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The Thousand Illusion Demon directly cast a statue of the Dharma that stood up to the sky and the earth, and looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Immediately after that, the sound of breaking the air sounded, and a total of three people appeared in the air.

"Twelve-winged angel?" said the Thousand Illusion Demon as he stared at one of the little girls with twelve wings with his pupils slightly constricted.

"Angry Sword Phantom Dance and Ghost Dance?" Night Feather frowned as she looked at the other two, a man and a woman, who were like guards.

"Ah Xuan...... It's really Ah Xuan......"

What Ye Ya saw was only the little girl who was called a twelve-winged angel by the Thousand Illusion Demons muttering.

How many years?

Ye Li himself didn't remember how many days and nights it was, but he never gave up looking for Ah Xuan's whereabouts.

"Xuanyang Body! Your life is so hard! But there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for.

Today you have no return. ”
