Chapter 240: Prayer and Sacrifice
The baths are filled with hot water, apparently freshly prepared, and most importantly, these are so-called holy waters.
Looking at the faint golden light in this bath, Luo Chen was 100% sure, and after hesitating for a moment, he took off his clothes and jumped in to soak.
"Tsk, it's really comfortable, it's too wasteful for an old man to enjoy, come and come and come down to soak together." Luo Chen greeted.
Hank and the others looked at each other, and they all laughed, and they also undressed and entered the bath.
If they usually don't dare, but with strange people like Luo Chen as a guarantee, they won't bubble in vain.
Luo Chen closed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, although the holy power was of little use to him, but after all, it was the energy created by that group of demi-immortals, and it was still possible to wash the marrow and strengthen the body.
But after soaking for long, Luo Chen found that the water was slowly turning black.
Following the source of the blackness, it flowed out of the skin of Hank and others, apparently washing the marrow, and the filth in the body was discharged.
Seeing this, Luo Chen had to move to the other end of the place that had not been affected by the filth, and he could enjoy it for a while, and it would be a loss to go out now.
Half an hour later, the last 'pure land' was gone.
Luo Chen could only reluctantly go ashore and take out a set of clothes from the storage ring to change into.
Hank and the others remained in the pool, after all, they didn't care if the pool water was dirty.
The holy power in the pool was finally exhausted, Hank and the others soaked for a while, and reluctantly went ashore, but in the end they were still a little greedy, washed their clothes in the pool water, and then wore them on their bodies so wet.
Hank walked over with a shy face: "Boss, can you help us dry our clothes." ”
Luo Chen's face was full of black lines, these mercenaries were really thick-skinned, but this request was understandable, and it was a casual matter.
The bath was also soaked, and the clothes were dry, Hank and the others were refreshed, and they felt like they had been reborn.
"Now that you're done, let's go. Luo Chen walked towards the door, and Hank and the others hurriedly followed.
Shortly after the men left, the Pope, dressed in full costume, arrived.
Looking at the dark pool water in front of him, the Pope's originally kind expression gradually disappeared, turned into annoyance, and angrily scolded the entourage behind him: "What's the matter, who defiled the holy water!"
The entourage was silent, and secretly said I don't know.
It was too late to prepare new holy water, but before the sacrifice, he had to be baptized by holy water, so he could only silently take off his robe and enter the pool.
Seeing the Pope enter the water like this, I don't know what to say, the entourage just wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they couldn't help but pretend to cough and laugh a few times.
As a pope, there must be a realm, and the actions of his subordinates behind him are of course clear, but there is nothing to be done, he has lost his posture just now, and now he can only endure it silently.
After purifying, the Pope went ashore and accidentally saw a few footprints by the pool, as well as a little fluctuation of spiritual power.
"Could it be the cultivator of Huaxia?" The Pope immediately thought of the cultivator who had killed the Hell Detective in the past few years, but this was the base camp of the Holy See, how could he have the courage to appear here.
But he didn't have the heart to think about it at the moment, because today was the annual prayer service.
Although there are prayer ceremonies in normal times, if the Pope himself is present, it is only today.
Putting on his robe again, although he felt weird, the Pope still pulled himself together and walked to the church.
Luo Chen, Hank and others wandered around the crowd of tourists, but unfortunately there was no local food or anything here, and the Vatican was a church with no sacredness, and there was not even a souvenir shop.
Luo Chen was still thinking about buying a cross for Leah, but now it seemed that there was no play, unless he went to one of the bishops.
Suddenly, the crowd swarmed and rushed towards one place.
"Why are they going?" asked Luo Chen.
"Boss, today is the annual prayer sacrifice, and the Pope will personally pray for the blessing of all believers after being cleansed. Hank said.
Cleanse?
Luo Chen's face became strange, this pope wouldn't really wash the rest of their bath water.
Regardless of whether there was or not, Luo Chen was still very curious about this prayer ceremony, and ran over with the crowd.
The Pope stood on a high platform, and behind him were two cardinals, a man and a woman, and the woman Luo Chen still knew, the same one he had met at the Seychelles auction.
Luo Chen hurriedly lowered his head and hid behind a tall man.
As if sensing something, the cardinal glanced at the group of disciples below, and a hint of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Laura, what are you looking at. The cardinal asked.
"It's nothing, I just saw an acquaintance. Lola said.
With a kind smile on his face, the Pope slowly swept over his congregation and began to recite the passages of the Bible.
With the exhalation of each syllable, the holy power in the air gradually became stronger, and a comfortable look appeared on the faces of Hank and the others.
Because I was baptized with holy water, did it resonate with the holy power? Luo Chen thought.
Jesus had been devoured by his secret method last time, even if he wanted to show up now, I am afraid that he would not be able to do anything, as long as he did not show up, Luo Chen would have nothing to fear, what is a cardinal, now he does not say that he can kill him, and it is not a piece of cake to escape.
As the prayer drew to a close, the air reached a saturation point, and a flame flashed on the cross at the top of the church.
"Damn, I really don't give up. Luo Chen looked at the Sacred Flame speechlessly, feeling the gaze in it, even if he couldn't show up, he would stare at him.
But how could I possibly let you get what you wanted.
Luo Chen smiled, and a piece of spiritual power bounced on his fingertips, and gently flicked it out.
Although the movement was very light, the speed of the spiritual power was very fast, cutting the cross like a sharp blade, and the holy flame suddenly weakened, and finally dried up.
But this movement caught everyone's attention.
When the cross was cut off, the tourists screamed, and some believers even sat down and recited the Bible, thinking that the devil was coming.
The Pope's face was ugly, others didn't know, but he felt the fluctuation of spiritual power just now, and someone did it on purpose.
Lola looked downward, staring straight at where she had noticed, and the corners of her mouth jumped out in an arc.
"Damn, it's been discovered. Seeing this, Luo Chen hurriedly turned around and fled.
Seeing that Luo Chen suddenly ran away, Hank and the others, although they didn't know why, still followed, and the alertness of the mercenaries made them all put their hands on their guns.
"You can't run away, insulting Jesus!"
Luo Chen was startled, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and all the tourists around him looked at him, and they were very unkind.
Crowd tactics, think I won't do anything to ordinary people?
Luo Chen chuckled, yes, he won't do it to ordinary people easily, but it doesn't mean that others won't do it.
Like Hank, who was following him. (To be continued.) )
