Lin Beichen had no choice but to retreat to the room temporarily.
But he was really a little scared.
Is there still danger in the temple
Could it be that he killed Tan Gujin, Bai Haiqin and others, so everyone in the Administration Office and Baiyun City went crazy and wanted to kill him at all costs, even if it was blasphemy
Not to the point.
After all, at that time, I could bear the aura of a divine disciple and kill people in the name of the Lord of the Sword.
This pot is very clean.
As the saying goes, every grievance has its owner and every debt has its owner. You shouldn't embarrass yourself, a poor little person who has the ability to go to the Lord of the Sword to settle the accounts.
Besides, under such circumstances, the big bosses of the Executive Office and Baiyun City would not be able to think of murder for revenge unless they were hit with brain convulsions and went crazy.
Could it be that evil spirits from outside the world are coming to kill me
That's not right either.
He was just looking for an excuse to kill someone, just making nonsense.
Could it be that Bai Haiqin, Tan Gujin and others whom he killed were really believers of evil spirits from outside the world
Can there be such a coincidence in the world
Lin Beichen waited in the room for more than three hours restlessly.
Finally there were footsteps outside.
He was heartbroken.
The door opens.
But it was the beautiful girl priest Ye Weiyang who came with several priestesses to deliver lunch.
Lin Beichen was about to ask in detail, but he saw Ye Weiyang wink, put the sumptuous lunch in the food box on the table, including wine, meat and vegetables, and then led the other beautiful girls without saying a word The priests all retreated.
What do you mean
Lin Beichen was confused.
When it comes to reading women's eyes, he has always been at the level of a primary school student.
At this time, someone came in from outside the door.
But it was Chief Priest Qin who slowly came to Lin Beichen with a stranger.
"Classmate Lin, this is Archbishop Wangyue of Zhaohui Temple in the provincial capital. He is the person who led me to become a priest. He is a highly respected senior in the temple and the most loyal follower of the Lord of the Sword, Jun Mian... The Archbishop wants to talk to you."
Chief Priest Qin introduced.
oh
archbishop
This status is so high.
Lin Beichen was slightly surprised.
He had learned about the belief system of the Temple of the Lord of Swords.
In almost all the theological beliefs of the major gods in the mainland, the rankings of clergy are exactly the same. They are all seven levels: trainee priest, priest, officiant, bishop, archbishop, cardinal and pope.
In such a clerical position, the archbishop's status is extremely noble.
In the power system of the imperial officialdom, he was equivalent to a feudal official and the lord of a province.
Discussing status is far more important than discussing ancient and modern times.
All clerical matters in Fengyu Province are decided by the Archbishop Mochizuki in front of him.
"See Archbishop Mochizuki."
Lin Beichen was as obedient as if he had met his grandma's grandson.
He is not Long Aotian, and now is definitely not the time to show off.
When working as a salted fish, you need to be low-key and try your best to leave a good impression on the boss. With such thighs, you can hug them if you can.
Anyway, as long as you hug enough thighs, sooner or later you will become a thigh yourself.
"Haha, you don't need to be polite, you are the one favored by the gods."
Archbishop Mochizuki smiled.
On the surface, this clergyman appears to be around fifty or sixty years old. His hair and eyebrows are half gray, but his face is rosy and he looks energetic. He is wearing a white bishop's robe with a clear moon pattern and red edges. , the workmanship and materials are extremely exquisite.
She was not tall, and her appearance was extremely ordinary. She was only about 1.65 meters tall, barely reaching the shoulders of Chief Priest Qin.
When she wasn't talking, she gave Lin Beichen a characterless impression, as ordinary and easy-going as the aunt next door who had just finished a square dance.
But as soon as he spoke, something that could be called 'personality charm' came to him inexplicably.
Especially the kind tone that was revealed inadvertently in her words was enough to make people who saw her for the first time instantly drop all their guard.
"Let's talk while we eat."
As expected, Archbishop Wangyue smiled as easily as the old lady next door and said: "I must be hungry after sleeping for ten days and ten nights."
"Uh... when you say that, I'm really hungry."
Lin Beichen's stomach gurgled without missing a moment.
He was also shocked. He didn't expect that he would actually fall asleep for ten days and ten nights.
This is a bit long.
I thought it would only be two or three days.
Before, he might not have noticed his hunger because he was worried, but when Archbishop Mochizuki mentioned it, his stomach felt like a fire. The feeling of hunger and thirst was like a flash flood that erupted in an instant, drowning Lin Beichen.
The two of them sat at the table. Lin Beichen gave in and politely picked up the chopsticks and started using them.
Priest Qin had gone out at some point and closed the door from the outside.
An invisible force of enchantment spreads out.
The entire room was completely isolated from the world under the influence of the divine pattern barrier.
"Is what we're going to talk about next important?"
Lin Beichen asked while eating.
Although his cultivation seemed to be in a sealed state for the time being, he could vaguely feel the barrier opening.
"Very important."
Archbishop Wangyue watched Lin Beichen devouring his food, with a soft and kind smile on his face, and said, "Do you know what happened to the outside world during the ten days and nights when you were in coma?"
Lin Beichen shook his head.
Archbishop Wangyue took a piece of meat to Lin Beichen with his own hands and said with a smile: "Yunmeng Temple was invaded by assassins thirty-six times. There were overt or covert grand master-level battles inside and outside Yunmeng City sixteen times. Innate powerhouse level There were two confrontations, and the aura of the innate power passed through Yunmeng City five times... As for the various other small actions, they are countless."
Lin Beichen was stunned.
He suddenly seemed to understand the necessity of the presence of the two brightly armored female warriors at the door.
In fact, before he showed off in the temple square, he had not thought that because of the will of the gods, the entire empire would be alarmed, he would become the focus, and investigations from all parties would be inevitable.
But he never expected that this kind of detection and disturbance would be so intense.
The innate-level experts were all alarmed.
On Earth, that would mean nuclear missiles flying overhead five or six times.
Since it is a confrontation at the innate level, it means that there are innates who protect themselves, and there are innates who want to kill themselves.
Dry tart stuffing.
This is too scary.
Go back and figure out which innate strong people want to kill you, and quickly find a way to kill them all.
Lin Beichen quickly drank a few sips of wine to calm down his shock.
"The assassin is here to kill me?"
After a pause after drinking, Lin Beichen confirmed depressedly.
Archbishop Wangyue nodded with a smile and said, "But you don't have to worry, there won't be any more for the time being." When Lin Beichen was in a coma, he had never seen the terrifying look of this old lady with a kind and kind smile lurking in Yunmeng. The assassin in the city who was about to take action was killed by this
All the old people were beaten to pieces.
"I am an apostle of God, how dare they kill me?"
Lin Beichen said angrily.
He originally thought that since he was wearing tiger skin, the world would have to be polite to him.
Who knows there are people who are not afraid of death.
"To be precise, you are just the apostle of God under the Lord of Sword, Junmian. However, not everyone in this world is willing to listen to the teachings of the Lord of Sword, Junmian. For example, in our old enemy Aurora Empire, the warriors The one who believes in is the God of Feathers and Arrows.”
Archbishop Mochizuki explained.
Lin Beichen was stunned.
Snap.
The sound of chopsticks falling on the table.
I am so silly.
real.
I just thought that the Lord of Swords had the thickest thighs in the Beihai Empire, but I forgot that all the major countries outside the Beihai Empire actually believed in gods, and the gods they believed in also had thick legs. .
What's even more frightening is that these thick legs are not very friendly.
Among the sixteen major battles recorded in the "Modern History of the Empire" in the past hundred years, ten were caused by conflicts of religious beliefs.
"What the Archbishop means is that the assassins are sent from other temples abroad?"
Lin Beichen picked up the chopsticks and was about to cry but had no tears.
"Nine-nine percent."
Archbishop Mochizuki said.
“We are all believers in the True God, so why can’t we hold hands and play side by side in harmony?”
Lin Beichen said aggrievedly.
Archbishop Mochizuki laughed.
Although Xiao Qin'er had been vaccinated before and knew from the information that this boy behaved differently than ordinary people, but when she actually came into contact with him, she still had a feeling that made her laugh and cry.
A very special young man.
There is indeed a trace of a sense of insanity in the jump.
"On the surface, the Zhengshen religions seem to be harmonious, but in fact, there is always a lot of secret competition, because the gods always need more believers and more powerful faith forces. The territory of the host Zhenzhou is limited, and the population is It is limited and can accommodate dozens of orthodox religious sects at the same time, which has reached its limit... "
She looked at Lin Beichen with a smile and said, "I said this, do you understand?"
Lin Beichen nodded and said: "I understand, I understand. Everyone wants to be the leader of Causeway Bay. Since there is no way to expand outward, we have to fight internally. To put it bluntly, if the temple wants to develop, it must compete for land and population. , grab resources.”
This script is so familiar.
On earth, whether it is ancient Chinese history or modern global history, the same plot has been played out countless times in different places and occasions.
Among them, the Red Cross Crusade in the Middle Ages is the most typical.
But these words should not come from the mouth of a person favored by God.
But Archbishop Wangyue didn’t take it seriously, and smiled kindly and said: “So, when the believers of the God of Feathered Arrows know that there is a favored person in Yunmeng City who can communicate with the Lord of the Sword, Jun Mian, they will What’s the reaction?”
What was the reaction
Of course, kill him.
After saying this, of course Lin Beichen understood it immediately.
Isn't this the reason why the Americans detained Qian Xuesen to prevent the rocket expert from returning to China, and even almost assassinated him several times.
He picked up the wine jar and paused.
I feel melancholy inside.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, the more aggrieved he became, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the bolder he became.
Then, a bold idea emerged in his mind -
Save some money, find a way through Jianxue Wuming, and encourage the Lord of Swords to go directly to the God of Feathered Arrows to PK in the God Realm. It is best to kill this God of Feathered Arrows. That will be the best for you. Real long-term peace and stability.
If Archbishop Wangyue knew Lin Beichen's true thoughts at this time, she would definitely go crazy.
If other talented geniuses were chased by the power of the temple, they would most likely change their appearance and hide, or the most ruthless thing would be to kill them all in one go and bleed them into rivers, killing the enemy temple until they were so painful that they stopped. But this one in front of him actually wanted to get rid of them once and for all. , solve the problem directly from the source, and kill a righteous god.
Seeing Lin Beichen's twinkling expression, the kind-hearted Archbishop Wangyue simply said that he was simply worried about his personal safety, so he smiled and comforted him, saying, "However, you don't have to worry too much. The first wave of assassinations will not affect the Feather Arrow Temple. It's just a test. Since it failed, it means that the most dangerous time for you has passed. Next, someone will negotiate with the Feather Arrow Temple. There will be some exchanges and compromises under the table, and soon there will be When news comes, I believe that the Feather Arrow Temple will choose to give up its actions against you."
Lin Beichen felt slightly relaxed after hearing this.
All right.
For the time being, just let go of the God of Feathers and Arrows.
"I came to you because I have something else to ask your opinion on."
Archbishop Wangyue said: "You are now a favored one with a special status. According to the empire's long-standing tradition, those favored by gods will be taken to the central temple at the provincial capital level to receive better education and services. Do you want to go to the Zhaohui Temple?" ?"
"A long-standing tradition?"
Lin Beichen said in surprise: "What the archbishop means is that there are other gods' favored ones?"
Archbishop Wangyue said: "Don't you know? Although the frequency of divine manifestations is very low, it does not mean that there are no such things. Therefore, naturally there are other gods' favored ones, and what's more, some have stepped into the higher realms. Martial arts experts and clergy in high-level fields can summon gods, talk to them, and use the power of gods to fight against enemies... So, you actually have a lot of companions."
Lin Beichen patted the back of his head.
His face as a time-travelling scum was exposed again.
"I thought I was unique."
He had to explain with a boyish side.
Archbishop Mochizuki smiled and said: "In the central temple, God's favored ones will get better care. By re-cultivating their divine power, most of them can break the shackles. Going further, after all, carrying God's will comes at a huge cost. One of them is Loss of cultivation..."
Clam
Looking for bean sacks
Snap.
Lin Beichen's chopsticks fell on the table again: "Xiu...Xiu Xiu has lost his cultivation?"
Archbishop Wangyue said: "You don't know?"
Should I know
Of course I don't know.
Lin Beichen wanted to overturn the dining table on the spot.
Jian Xue Wuming, the dog goddess, has never been mentioned.
Chief Priest Qin did not mention this incident this morning, but only said that "the benefits will be endless in the future."
Archbishop Wangyue said: "It's no wonder, you are not a clergy after all. Most of the favored ones who appeared in the past were clergy... It's like this. The power of God is vast and pure, supreme, pure and true. It is an attribute that surpasses the five elements. The power on top of the many natural forces in the body, along with the will of God, is poured into the body, and will assimilate the power of the natural profound energy that you have cultivated before. After this, your cultivation will be in a state of temporary loss of control. If you turn to practice various magical arts at this time, your progress will be rapid. It can take as long as one or two years, or as short as half a year, and you can fully recover. If you work hard in the future, you will benefit endlessly."
oh.
That's what happened.
Then don't use the word 'cultivation lost'.
It almost scared people to the point of peeing.
Lin Beichen drank again and again to calm down his shock.
“Do all the gods’ loved ones have to go to the central temple
"
he asked tentatively.
Archbishop Wangyue said: "There is one Divine Grace Temple in the empire, located in the imperial capital Beihai City. It has been built with the contributions of the royal family, sages and believers of all generations, and has reached the standard of a first-class temple. Secondly, it is located in the capital city of the nine major provinces. Each has a central temple, which is one step away from the standard of a first-level temple. If you want to go directly to the Divine Grace Hall, it is not impossible... "
Lin Beichen was confused.
What the hell
Shen’en Head Office
Ning, this is not Zhou Hei Ya, so why is it still a branch of the main store
"No, no, no, the archbishop has misunderstood me. I want to ask, do those favored by God have to go to the temple to study and practice. Is it okay to continue to stay in major schools?"
Lin Beichen explained.
"You don't want to go to the temple?"
Only then did Archbishop Mochizuki become truly surprised.
Lin Beichen smiled shyly and said: "I feel that my ideological consciousness and political level are not qualified enough to go to the temple for further study. I am willing to give this place to those comrades who really need it... classmates."
joke.
I am a time traveler, and I just want to find my way home honestly.
Why join the gods in a territorial fight when you have nothing to do
This job is too dangerous.
Besides, I don’t believe in God either.
Lin Beichen instinctively refused to leave Yunmeng City.
The world is too complicated.
He didn't really want to be a clergyman.
Archbishop Wangyue's expression turned serious and he said, "Are you serious?"
Lin Beichen's heart skipped a beat.
Is it dangerous to reject a clergy boss
But after a slight hesitation, he nodded firmly.
"I really didn't expect that you would make such a choice."
Archbishop Mochizuki looked surprised, paused, and made another suggestion, saying: "If you prefer the learning atmosphere of the college, after arriving in the provincial capital, you can make an exception to study at the National Royal Intermediate College. I can provide you with the admission qualifications. Earn it.”
Lin Beichen said: "But I am only in my second year of junior college, and I haven't graduated yet."
Archbishop Mochizuki said: "Even before the new special recruitment regulations of the Empire Ministry of Education are released, your cultivation, grades, and honors you have received, any one of them can guarantee your success in skipping a grade, and it does not matter. Receive any criticism.”
Lin Beichen said: "But I still want to stay in the Third College for one more year."
"Why?"
Archbishop Mochizuki said strangely.
Lin Beichen brewed his emotions for a while and said with great emotion: "I am where I am today entirely because of the teachers at the Third College. They all take good care of me, both in life and study, even in war. During the dark and difficult days when the Tianhou Mansion collapsed, the Third College did not expel me. It gave me the opportunity to prove myself and gave me the grace to be reborn. I must not forget my roots as a human being. I will stay in the Third College. In the next year, I will win more glory for the college, obtain more training resources, and pave a new bright road for my juniors."
At the end, Lin Beichen was almost moved by himself.
I'm such a fucking talent.
Archbishop Wangyue looked at Lin Beichen with a slightly complicated expression.
She didn't expect that this young man had this idea in mind.
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water.
This is indeed the noble character of a swordsman.
Faced with the opportunity to rise to the top, choosing to follow the clouds is a common choice of many people. In fact, even if Lin Beichen leaves Yunmeng City, the glory and resources he brings to the Third College are enough for the second-rate college in this remote town to digest Two or three years.
The unparalleled success in the competition for hegemony has already made the Third Academy famous.
If you leave at this time, no one will say anything.
The teachers of the Third College will not have any dissatisfaction.
Everyone will consider him a hero.
But he still chose to stay and give back more to his alma mater.
This young man, under the mask of exaggeration and cynicism, has a truly hot and innocent heart.
Perhaps this is why, even though he is not a clergyman, the Lord of the Sword, Jun Mianxia, chose him to become the apostle of God at that moment to accommodate his own will.
Archbishop Mochizuki was moved.
"You don't have to worry about this. I can use the energy of the temple now to fight for more resources from Yunmeng City's Third Junior College. If you have any requests, you can ask for them. You don't need to waste another year to fight for them."
She still tried her best to persuade Lin Beichen.
For young warriors, wasting a year will have a huge negative impact on the future path of a swordsman.
Lin Beichen:
(☉???).
Old lady, you are forcing me to use the most ruthless, vicious and direct words to sentence you.
"No."
Lin Beichen said sternly: "The glory and resources of the Third Academy must be won and obtained by its students with their own hands. If I rely on my status as a favored person of the gods to blackmail the temple to provide it, it would be against the law. My heart is better than no... Archbishop, please stop trying to persuade me, no matter what, I must stay in the Third Academy for another year to fulfill my wish."
Hehe, after a year, I will definitely unlock the secret of the mobile phone. Then I will just yo-yo and quietly return to the earth, and there will be no need to interfere with this kind of thing.
Wishful thinking is a pleasure.
After hearing this, Archbishop Mochizuki was silent for a long time.
Finally, she said slowly: "This matter is too special, so I need to report it to the main hall of the temple, but if you must insist, it is most likely possible."
Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief.
Archbishop Wangyue said again: "By the way, you should also pay attention. Because of the discussion of ancient and modern times and the death of Bai Haiqin, some people in the imperial political circles and Baiyun City have some opinions on you. From now on, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds to avoid being caught. After all, God's favored ones are not gods, they will make mistakes, and after making mistakes, they will also have to accept punishment."
Lin Beichen nodded like a rattle: "I will definitely reinvent myself with my tail between my legs."
Archbishop Mochizuki: “…”
"Since you insist on staying in Yunmeng City, there is one more thing you must know." She said slowly: "In Yunmeng City, there are two extremely terrifying auras of extraterrestrial evil spirits. They are hidden cleverly. I have investigated several times. You can't tell. These are probably two ancestor-level evil demons. Before the temple can completely eradicate them, you need to be more careful if you stay in the city. God's favored ones are very tempting to the evil demons. Power is what they try their best to get."
Lin Beichen "???"
grandmother.
You are my grandma.
The logical sequence of your words is wrong.
Why don't you talk about such an important thing first
I strongly urge to go to Zhaohui Temple now, is it still too late
