Chen Changsheng stood in the light, and was at the forefront.
The Pope is behind him.
In the main hall, thousands of bishops fell to their knees like the tide.
On the square, tens of thousands of cavalrymen and priests of the state religion fell to their knees like a tide.
Outside the palace, hundreds of thousands of believers fell to their knees like a tide.
Looking at this scene, the Pope slowly narrowed his eyes, as if drinking alcohol, very satisfied and joyful.
His eyes narrowed more and more until they closed, and then never opened again.
No one can see the vast sea of stars in those old eyes.
Chen Changsheng turned his head and looked over, the hand holding the divine staff trembled slightly.
Mao Qiuyu supported the Pope's body and shook his head at him.
There was some commotion in the nearby crowd, but there was no chaos. Headed by the archbishops such as Yulin, everyone was still kneeling, but... there were occasional crying sounds.
The chant of purifying Dao Xin, the cry full of nostalgia and sorrow, floated higher and higher in the magnificent Guangming Temple, and then was temporarily invited back to the world by a bell.
Whether it was the holy bell of the Li Palace, the Holy Bell of the Jiaoshu Office, or the Heavenly Dao Temple, they all rang at the same time.
The sound of the bell quickly spread throughout the entire capital, and then spread further away, sending the news of His Majesty the Pope's return to the Star Sea to all directions in the mainland.
Scratch, rub, rubbing, countless sounds of metal rubbing seemed to sound at the same time.
The state church cavalry in the square between the palaces drew their weapons, and a black wave rose in the sea of people.
Whether it is a divine crossbow, an iron spear or a sword, they are all so cold and sharp, pointing straight at the night sky, towards the silent and unchanging billions of stars, this is not a demonstration against the sea of stars, but a cheer, In other words, this is a grand trip to send you off thousands of miles away.
Caoyue Guild Hall, Guiqing Palace, Taisuo, Qingshui Watai, Tiandao Hall, and Qiu Yu are the six most important palaces in the Li Palace. At this moment, the extremely sacred and magnificent atmosphere of the Six Paths emerges from these palaces, heading towards the deserted and lonely palace. Then they meet in unknown places and become the visible six rays of light.
The colors of those lights are not the same, it looks like a rainbow.
No one has ever seen a rainbow at night. The people kneeling on the ground in Li Palace and the people kneeling everywhere in the capital raised their heads one after another, shocked by the vision in the sky, thinking sadly, this might be Is this the last farewell to His Majesty the Pope
Chen Changsheng knew that it wasn't a rainbow, but power.
At the moment when the six auras were born from the six palaces including the Caoyue Hall, he and all the ascetics in the Star Gathering Realm in Kyoto clearly felt that power. This power comes from the treasures of the national religion in the six palaces, and also from the ground between the Li Palaces, or more precisely, from the formation below the ground.
Taoism has existed for countless years, and it has been revered as the state religion for nearly a thousand years, and it used to be the state religion of several famous dynasties before. In terms of profound historical background and rich accumulation of resources, in some respects, even the current imperial court has not seen it. It is not surprising that there are such formations and so many unknown artifacts.
For example, the torch stuck on the bedside at this time—the fireworks in the daytime.
This sacred weapon of the demon clan has been stored in Lingyan Pavilion for many years, and it is an important part of the emperor's chariot map. On the night of the Tianshu Mausoleum's change, Tianhai Holy Empress threw a frosty spear and destroyed Lingyan Pavilion. All the portraits in the palace were burnt to ashes, and the Frost Remaining Magic Spear was nowhere to be found. People thought it should be hidden in the palace again.
Who would have thought that the fireworks in the daytime would return to Li Palace.
The former sacred artifact of the demon clan, and later the Dazhou Chongbao, is now just an ordinary lighting thing.
The holy, blazing light is not dazzling, and the light without any temperature falls on the old face of the Pope, I believe it will not make him feel any discomfort.
Chen Changsheng sat on the side of the couch, finished reciting the Longevity Sutra for the ninth time, stood up, and looked at the daytime fireworks and the secluded palace illuminated by it.
The state religion is the legacy left to him by His Majesty the Pope, and the daytime fireworks are naturally part of this legacy, the divine crown, the divine scepter, the treasures in the six palaces, the formations in the Li Palace, and the people who are still kneeling inside and outside the Li Palace. The same is true for the hundreds of millions of priests and believers who are willing to leave, and they still have power.
But he remembered very clearly that he should still have an inheritance, but now he didn't know where it went.
His Majesty the Pope had clearly expressed his intention that after his death, Chen Changsheng would keep that thing.
Where did that pot of green leaves go
…
…
The holy aura of the six realms formed a beautiful rainbow in the night sky. One end of the rainbow was in the Li Palace, passing through the sea of stars, and finally fell back to the human world.
Many places in Kyoto are illuminated and decorated by this rainbow, and it is difficult to tell which places receive more light and blessings.
Everyone on the earth can see the vast sea of stars, but the light of stars has never illuminated the world. At the bottom of the abandoned well near Beixinqiao near the imperial city, there is no sunshine or starlight all year round, but today there is a lot of light miraculously, and those lights are part of the rainbow from the palace.
The dark, gloomy and cold underground space in the past hundreds of years has not become warmer because of it, but at least it is no longer so scary, especially the frost and snow that illuminates the ground, and also illuminates many places above the frost and snow. Things, those things make this place isolated from people show the taste of the world.
There are stoves of different heights everywhere, which look like termite nests. There are also all kinds of kitchen utensils, pots and pans. There are more than a dozen pots, and the special table as big as the surface of a lake is filled with countless dishes that ordinary people can imagine.
The place about 300 feet away on the opposite side should be a place like a study room. There are no walls, and naturally there are no paintings and calligraphy. There are only extremely long and endless bookshelves. The shelves are full of books. Styled furniture is arranged in sequence towards the front, desks, chairs, chaise longues, until far away...
There was a very large bed there, not even much smaller than the lake in the Orthodox Academy. This bed was particularly gorgeous, with extremely rich carvings. The bed was covered with thirty-six layers of quilts, and the bed rails were inlaid with seventy-two night pearls. Just by looking at it, one can imagine how comfortable it would be to lie on it.
The black-clothed dragon girl named Zhizhi, also known as cinnabar or red makeup, was lying on the bed at this time, but it was obvious that she didn't feel very comfortable. It wasn't because there was an unremarkable pea on the bottom of the thirty-six quilts, nor was it because the blue lobster Chen Changsheng sent the last time was not fresh enough, but because she was very nervous at this moment.
The rainbow from the Li Palace illuminated the underground cave, and also illuminated the wall more than ten miles away that she didn't want to face.
She is the noblest and most powerful Mysterious Frost Dragon in the world. She can see a silver leaf thousands of miles away, and she can naturally see clearly the changes that are taking place on that wall at this time—the stone wall covered by frost and snow. A cluster of green leaves grew on it.
