Chapter 55: The Knife in the Smile
Du Yuan asked Aya to take away the two banknotes and return them to the Vietnamese boss without looking for them. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Red Sleeves couldn't help but laugh at his calligraphy, I'm really sorry for the 5,000-year-old culture. Du Yuan simply asked him to write, the red sleeves were not ambiguous, and the pen came - not to mention, this "Tofu Shih" from the Shunzhi period is different, the beautiful willow body is very uplifting, and it is all Chinese traditional, original. Suddenly, business became even better, and many young men from foreign countries saw the pretty appearance of the red sleeves and joined the waiting team. Business doubled again, and Aya had to buy more straw paper again and again.
The sky is getting darker and the tourists are getting scarcer. Du Yuan bought three "Yu Baba" and shouted, "Scattered, scattered." "Help Red Sleeves close the stall. Aya hadn't eaten this before, so she took it and bit it, and her mouth was full of oil. Red Sleeves also took one, flipped it over and over, and took a small bite, "Isn't this a Turkish meat bun? β
Du Yuan only cared about counting the money, not caring about their reactions, "Five hundred and seven, five hundred and eight, five hundred and nineβwow, five hundred and ninety-hundred-oh! How much is this Nima equivalent to the Celestial Empire currency? The current exchange rate is less than before...... That's about 4,000 or more, and the change is enough to spend for the time being. It's not enough to swipe my UnionPay again, hehehehe. Red Sleeves couldn't see his greed for money, so he took a sip, "Tell me if you lack money, she is also the female boss of Qingxi Water Board, and she has some family background over the years." Du Yuan's eyes lit up, "Really? Great." You keep it for now, and it will be a dowry when you pass through the door. Red Sleeves wanted to hit him with a meat bun, but after looking at it, it was better not to waste food. casually gave the rest to Aya, who was getting plump.
The twilight bell of the SacrΓ©-Coeur is particularly majestic, and it ripples far from the heights of Montmartre, and the whole city of Paris can be heard clearly. Judging from the volume and sound quality, this bell must be a big guy.
The three of them perked up, checked their bodies, and prepared to leave, Du Yuan knew that Aya's learning was limited to the art of talisman making, and it was not aggressive. I had the intention to let her stay, and I remembered what happened to me at the winery, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while. Red Sleeves understood his thoughts, "You go in first, don't be in a hurry, find out the environment, and discuss it together when you come back." We were waiting outside. Being so empathetic made Du Yuan's heart warm, and he immediately nodded, "That's it!"
Watching Du Yuan enter the church, Pei Hongsleeve turned around to look at Aya and touched her messy hair, "Have you ever practiced kung fu or something?" Aya shook her head. "Then do you have any self-defense weapons?" Red Sleeves knew that she had only improved her physical function, and if she didn't have some actual combat experience, she would still suffer in the end. Aya took out a large slingshot from the bag to show off the red sleeves, and her face was proud. Du Yuan had seen this thing once, but Red Sleeves had never seen it, and he was very surprised, "Dan Lao gave it to you?" Aya shook her head, "No, I've used it for several years." Shoot grouse and frog in the mountains. "Oh, it's a pity that it's not a magic weapon, and the help of the enemy is limited. Show me the right head. β
Aya immediately found a stone, but she didn't see an aim, and she quickly pulled it into the air, and a small bat fell in response. She herself was taken aback, since she played the pill refining body, it was the first time she cast the slingshot, and before she could exert her strength, she pulled the cow tendon to the extreme, and her six senses were also exceptionally clear, completely unhindered by the night. She was very happy.
Redsleeves smiled, "Yes, find a few more stones to bring with you." When you have to attack, try to use it to attack from a distance and avoid melee combat, understand?" Aya nodded, and began to search around for suitable stones.
Du Yuan slipped into the church without incident, the monks were all having dinner, and only a few were busy cleaning and cleaning. The lonely cloud step passed down by the Great Meow Heavenly Master came in handy, only to see Du Yuan fall silently, like a cloud of smoke, along the dark corner of the wall, stop and go, avoid all ears and eyes, and came to the back hall. Here, he heard a familiar baritone, "I am very touched by the fact that you have taken me on a tour yourself, Your Excellency. The Sacred Heart is indeed a rare essence in the history of human architecture, and it is not inferior to Notre-Dame Cathedral and Lyon Cathedral. It's just that I don't understand something. Mistress Hugo brought me here, saying that there is an important matter that needs help, where has he been now, do you know the reason for this?" Du Yuan realized that this was Hu Shengyuan's voice, and in the winery on the outskirts of Marseille, he had heard this Hu brother speak French, and his voice was soft and magnetic. Although he heard that the Chief Templar was not there for the time being, there was still an unknown friend or foe of the "Lord Bishop", so he did not dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly floated behind a statue in the distance, and listened with bated breath.
"Dr. Hu, I understand your confusion very well. Actually, we haven't visited the most important part yet. This link was also arranged by Hugo. Only by fully understanding the secrets of the Sacred Heart can you better help us. The man who answered, dressed in a white robe and a bowler-capped white hat, was about sixty years old, and looked very kind. Hu Shengyuan couldn't refuse, so he had to follow him to continue his tour in the empty Sacred Heart Cathedral.
The two walked into a tower and walked along the spiral staircase for more than ten laps to the open stone pavilion at the top of the tower, which overlooked the whole of Paris. At this moment, there was no one around, the cool breeze of the night blew the corners of the two people's clothes, and the bishop pointed to the vault of the main entrance of the church below, and asked, "What do you see?" Hu Shengyuan looked in the direction of his finger, and the two tall knight statues stood silently on the vault, shining against the patina green under the illumination of the spotlights. "If I'm not mistaken, these are two great men of France, Louis IX and Joan of Arc. β
"Exactly. But do you know that there are so many brilliant stars in history, why do we put these two people here?" Hu Shengyuan shook his head. "Because, they are all members of the Templar Order, and they have all done one thing, and that is to protect the Sacred Heart. β
"Your Excellency, do you mean the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, by Sacred Heart?"
"Nope. The Sacred Heart is not a fictitious noun, it really exists. Moreover, it is alive. β
"......" Hu Shengyuan's huge curiosity was suppressed by reason, he didn't want to hear too many secrets that didn't belong to him, because he didn't know the consequences of these secrets, and how much he needed to pay.
Seeing that he didn't ask, the bishop continued to induce, "You look at the topography here, according to the mysterious Oriental Feng Shui theory, how to interpret it?"
Montmartre stands like a bustling downtown area, surrounded by lights and people. More than a dozen radial streets spread out from here, connecting the nine canals, outlining the highlands into a sun-like central area. Hu Shengyuan looked around, closed his eyes slightly, and released a mighty divine sense, which fluctuated in all directions, covering the entire highland. In the dark corners around the church, several low surprises were heard at the same time. Obviously, it has alarmed the guards who are patrolling secretly.
The bishop did not hinder, but just smiled and waited. After a long time, Hu Shengyuan slowly withdrew his senses, opened his eyes, and bowed slightly to the bishop, "This is not a treasure land of feng shui, and there is a faint sign of great evil." I don't know why I built a church here in the first place?"
"What do you mean by that?" the bishop was intrigued.
"Given that the language of communication we use is French, and there is a lack of precise vocabulary, I will not analyze it in detail from the perspective of yin and yang. This Montmartre plateau, facing the wind and water, is unsheltered on all sides, and it is a Jedi. I think that the Bishop must also understand the doctrine of magnetic fields, and directly below the church, the magnetic field lines are twisted centripetally, constantly being pulled by the nameless substance, and although there are traces of artificial suppression, it cannot stop its ferocity. I suspect that this church was not built for the prayers of the common faithful, and it was no coincidence that the Templars would be stationed here. β
The bishop was convinced, "Oriental metaphysics is indeed a good tool for peeking into the mysteries of the universe. Truth be told, this church is not a church, it is just a gatehouse. Guarding an extremely important gate, and this gate, right at our feet, in the mountains of Montmartre. With the help of the holiness of the Lord, no one dared to build near the church, which indirectly ensured the safety of this door for a hundred years. β
Sooner or later, Hu Shengyuan knew that he couldn't hide from this secret, but fortunately he let it go and only listened to what the bishop said. "Dr. Hu, we invite you to come and have something to do with this door. I know that you have an agreed deal with Persian descendants living in Marseille, and I don't know what your chips are. Their chip is a holy stone. And this stone is an important cornerstone stolen from the underground of the Sacred Heart Church, without this piece, the door loses stability and produces violent fluctuations. So much so that you can easily perceive its existence when you release your consciousness. This is a very dangerous thing. We are not only worried about the loss of this century-old secret, but also about the complete closure of this door, and the loss of the only channel of communication with the Sacred Heart. β
Hu Shengyuan's chest fluctuated with various thoughts, and he sorted out these words, "The Persian descendants of Marseille are not opponents of the Knights in France, why don't you directly attack them? β
"Nope. Herein lies the problem. I'm not interested in thieves, I'm more interested in the end demander. In the last direct communication with the Sacred Heart, it was clearly indicated that there was also a mysterious organization in this world that was collecting holy stones in large quantities for unknown purposes. The Sacred Heart asks us to find and disband this organization and get all the Sacred Stones back. Hu Shengyuan did not expect that the clues of "mending the sky" that he had worked so hard to find from the Persians would instead attract powerful new opponents to himself and Danyuan. Now, not only the traditional Dao Sect of the Celestial Empire, but even the Western Sect has their eyes on Danyuan. In the future, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult!
