At the beginning of June, Cannes, somewhere in the Cathedral of the Holy Dome.

The cross at the front of the place is towering, and the seats on both sides are arranged in an orderly manner, spreading all the way to the door, almost full of worshippers, and the dome above is magnificent, and the surrounding area is wide, the walls and windows are narrow, and the glass is colored, and the sunlight penetrates into the Tao, bringing a solemn feeling.

A bishop with a sutra in his hand is preaching slowly in a majestic voice, guiding the lambs to the splendor of heaven, and the whole scene is sacred and transcendent, so that people can forget their usual troubles and gain spiritual sustenance.

At this time, Lou Cheng, who was wearing a white T-shirt, slacks and sneakers, came in from the door, walked forward a few steps with his hands in his pockets, glanced left and right, and found a vacant seat in the back and sat down.

He did not clasp his hands and bury his head in the face, as the believers present, but closed his eyes and leisurely sensed everything around him with his ears, with his spirit, and with his heart.

Because of the discussion on the Internet, he became a hot topic again, and he didn't dare to stay too long in Xiushan, and flew to Cannes a few days later.

He did not intend to convert to God when he came to observe the ceremony at the Holy Dome Cathedral, for a man like him, who was determined to know what he wanted and what he was fighting for, faith was faith, and he would not turn his peace of mind and future path to an ethereal god.

Lou Cheng spent this time here, in order to observe, in order to understand.

According to what Old Man Shi said, all practice methods will end up in the same way, Lou Cheng feels that the next step of his own integration of martial arts and cultivation is an important step in promoting Waigang, perhaps he should focus on this "same" word!

Based on this, he decided to broaden the scope of his thinking, no longer limited to Xiuzhen and martial arts, but through the rituals of the Order and the reference to the martial arts school, he found the commonality with each other, found the meaning of the word "Tong", and found the essence of upward promotion, so as to gain the advantage of being from a high vantage point.

Quietly closing his eyes and listening carefully, Lou Cheng's will was "three feet above his head", reading the changes in the ritual environment and the spiritual precipitation of the believers in a state of concentration and detachment.

After a while, the choir began to sing praises and praise in a neat, holy, and lofty way, and with the help of the echoes produced by the special design of the chapel, the people seemed to be immersed in the baptism of divine light, and all kinds of negative feelings such as the wandering of the soul and the anxiety in the depths were swept away, and in a short time, they seemed to have been reborn.

Lou Cheng slowly opened his eyes, only to see that some believers were already in tears, and only to see that there was a faint milky white light rippling in the chapel, but it seemed to be just his own illusion.

This feeling...... He watched thoughtfully, listened, understood, and had some ideas, but he couldn't grasp the most essential things, let alone discover the "sameness".

In a similar range, the ceremony came to an end, Lou Cheng no longer stayed, Shi Shiran stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and slowly walked to the door.

A man sitting in the front row of the chapel happened to put down his clasped hands, and when he noticed it, he instinctively looked around, swept his eyes, and saw the back of the door.

"Huh?" the blue-eyed young man with brilliant blond hair suddenly lost his voice.

"What's wrong, Oblak?" asked the dark-haired young man next to him, confused.

Oblak frowned and replied, "That person just now is a little familiar. ”

But because I had to have my back, I couldn't remember who it was.

"Nobody. The black-haired young man glanced back, and saw that the open door was empty, and there was no one around.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Oblak shook his head and got up, "I have to go back and get ready for the evening." ”

He and the black-haired young Charles, who are from Brutal in Europe, are one of the branches of the Order, and are currently escorting the "Holy Grail" to the United States, preaching and preaching, and exchanging ideas with local martial artists.

As one of the main strongholds of the Order on this side of the ocean, Cannes upgraded its activities to a small competition, claiming to determine the strongest below the "crown".

- The Religious Sect believes that the human body has ten primordial qualities, which correspond to different symbols in different positions, and when they are all condensed, they can "grow" a tree of life and reach the final "crown", which is equivalent to the outer gang of China.

Although the "crown" is called the ultimate, in the context of the Order, it is only the mundane final, and when the triple "crown" is added, the "shadow curtain" can be lifted, and the "hidden God" can be seen, becoming the real "archangel".

Oblak became famous at a young age, full of genius, because of the setbacks in China, he was stimulated, quit arrogance, quit impetuousness, so that he condensed the ten primordial essences faster than expected, only half a step away from "growing" out of the tree of life, only one step away from obtaining the "crown", in this competition, all the way to victory, about to reach the final.

............

Late at night, inside a villa.

In the center of the living room on the first floor, there is an altar, painted with strange symbols, and on the chairs, sofas, dining tables, and even carpets around them, a naked man and woman are violently intermingling, some one-on-one, some one-to-many, and many to many, they look intoxicated and full of joy, as if they have obtained the ultimate liberation.

At the railing on the second floor, Lou Cheng stood quietly, holding a paper cup with juice in it.

Seeing the ** rising, his mouth was dry, he drank a cold drink, tried to restrain Lian Pian's thoughts, and visualized the word "Lin", which made his body and mind clear for a while.

Seizing this opportunity, he ran the exercises, condensed the water into ice, turned the lake into a mirror, and made the "gods" appear three feet above his head.

Looking at the scene below, Lou Cheng has faded away from ** and impulsiveness, his eyes have returned to darkness and depth, and he calmly looks at it with a transcendent attitude of scrutiny.

"These spiritualists can play......" he chuckled.

This is a "regular" development of the spiritual order, that is, through its own "preaching" to gain members, without drugging, seduction, abduction and other means to deceive innocent men and women to join, so he has no idea of doing chivalrous deeds.

Moaning into his ears, the sea of flesh churning, Lou Cheng shook the paper cup in his hand, quietly and harmlessly looked down and observed, and gradually had a little understanding of such a scene and such a "practice".

"To put it simply, this is a way to break the inherent pattern......" he nodded imperceptibly and took a sip of juice, "Everyone has been bound by various rules and requirements since they were born, and breaking these, the body and mind will get liberated, relaxed, pleasant, and stimulating feelings, and then combined with themselves, it is equivalent to the solution of Buddhism Tantra color emptiness, what is sought is not color, but to break the obsession, break the shackles, and break the original physical and mental model." ”

"In this process, if you are addicted to 'sex', indulge in this indulgence, and indulge in the ethereal and liberating sense afterwards, you will go astray and jump from one inherent mode to another, forming new obsessions and new constraints. ”

"Spirituality seeks the 'spirit of the self' and tantric methods have the same effect, both of which are radical and easy to enter the path of 'demons'......"

"This is the 'ritual' of elevating the 'spirit of the self', and the spiritual cultivation is to enter the realm of Waigang, which is closely related to this 'spirit of the self', and it is related to the order, and the school that focuses on fighting, and the cultivation of truth, and the martial arts, where is the 'same' in the difference......

Lou Cheng, who has read a lot of classics recently, thought about it seriously, and only after a long time did he take the paper cup and disappear from the second floor silently.

At the end of the ceremony, the presiding devotional returns to the second floor, intending to grasp the state of physical and mental fulfillment and ease of liberation, to illuminate the "spirit of the self" and to elevate it.

At this moment, he looked at the room in confusion, and saw that the windows were wide open, and the night wind blew in, and it was full of people.

"I forgot to close?" the devotional was confused.

............

As a sedan drove through the empty street at night, Smith looked ahead and asked:

"Lou, why do you want to go to see the Devil's Ritual?"

Lou Cheng put his right hand against his lower lip and said casually: "The devil also has the devil's truth, and only by understanding them can we defeat them." ”

"You've been getting more and more mysterious lately. Smith shook his head with emotion.

He was an ancestral Puritan and hated similar activities in devotion.

Without further ado, Smith asked, "There are two more places, where to go first?"

Lou Cheng thought about it and laughed at himself:

"That's all for tonight, send me back. ”

Strange guys...... Smith sneered, slapped the steering wheel, and turned into the road to the North End.

............

In the early morning of the next day, Lou Cheng finished his tempering, wiped his sweat, walked back to the house, and happened to see Yan Zheke coming down from the second floor with light steps.

"Keke, have you been feeling a lot of strength lately?" he said first, asking about things that he would ask every three to five days.

Yan Zheke was wearing a T-shirt that exposed his delicate collarbones, and his eyes turned upward: "Fortunately, since I collected the 'Nine Character Formula', my spirit has improved rapidly, and the effect of feeding back to the flesh is getting better and better." ”

As she spoke, she walked up the stairs and said with dimples:

"I feel that it won't be long before I can replenish my body, realize 'receiving', balance into a pill, and supplement the foundation of your cultivation and martial arts integration!

"It's worthy of Coach Yan!" Lou Cheng gave a thumbs up and praised with a bright smile.

At the beginning, he completely cultivated the true exercises and collected the "nine-character formula", but he simply wanted to help Keke make up for the regret of congenital deficiencies, who knows, but it helped to open up his own path.

I want to rely on George's gang to balance Cheng Dan, I don't know what year and month it went!

And the effect of his own cultivation of the "Nine Character Formula" is also very good, and his spirit has taken a step forward, and he has recently felt a little "god stick".

Yan Zheke pursed her lips, very proud, and said casually at the end: "But the improved spirit has been used to feed the body, my current state is similar to last year, I can't stay up too late......"

Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, yawned cutely, and then her face turned red, her expression instantly became fierce, and she raised her foot to "kick" Lou Cheng's calf to meet the cheekbones, although it was fast and fast, but she didn't use much force.

In this regard, Lou Cheng could only laugh.

After eating breakfast, sending his daughter-in-law to Cannes University, and leaving Aunt Du to protect him, Lou Cheng first went to the martial arts club, and then went to the location of the Holy Dome Cathedral, intending to continue to observe and understand.
