Chapter 209 Approaching the Gods (31)
“The Supreme God!”
“It’s the Supreme God!”
The believers were all excited when they saw this. Many people even had tears in their eyes and fell to their knees one after another, pressing their right hands on their left chests and expressing their most sincere prayers to God.
Wen Xuanning stood at a high place, looked up at the god's face, bowed devoutly, and when he bowed his head, the corner of his mouth raised a slight smile.
Immediately, divine light descended from the divine face, falling on the believers like spring rain.
When the divine light came, the crowd was excited. The believers suddenly felt the warm power surging in their bodies, and they were full of gratitude.
After a while, the divine face receded, and the glow remained in the clouds.
It's time.
Wen Xuanning walked to the statue with the word "地" written on it and gently and deftly dropped a note on the disk.
It says "Eighteen Earth".
If the note falls, it will burn itself.
Subsequently, the disk lit up, and the statue also emitted a faint brilliance. At the foot of the statue, the divine radiance was like a thread, shooting towards the column along the lines on the altar, lighting up the entire column from bottom to top. .
At the same time, the magic circle lit up.
A beam of divine light shoots straight into the clouds from the top of the column, with eight phantoms vaguely visible in the middle.
The divine glow dissipated, and the eight people on the magic circle disappeared without a trace.
......
Xuan Thirty-nine City, New Temple.
Liu Sheng came back with a group of priests and saw the Dawn Priest directing the craftsmen to paint the walls.
Compared with the dejected look on his face when they first met, the Priest of Dawn now looked energetic and glowing, completely different from the other two.
When he saw Liu Sheng, he immediately stepped forward with joy on his face and saluted: "Great Priest!"
Liu Sheng nodded slightly, turned to the priests and said, "You have worked hard, go back and rest first."
“Yes!” everyone responded in unison.
Priest Yanran stayed behind and asked Priest Dawn: "Priest Dawn, where is Xiaoya? Why didn't you see her following you today?"
"Yes, that little girl Isn’t this girl the most fond of clinging to you? She said that the pancakes you make are delicious and the soup is very sweet.” Liu Sheng also felt strange.
Priest Mingxiao smiled helplessly: "That girl said she wanted to study with Mr. Zhuang like Gouwa, and she is in school now!"
Mr. Zhuang is Na Tian Shikang's younger brother Zhuang Cheng, and now he is studying with Mr. Zhuang. He is the only teacher in the school re-established by the temple, specializing in teaching the children who stayed in the city to study, so as not to run around wildly every day and accidentally provoke anything.
This is also what Liu Sheng suggested.
Zhuang Cheng's upper body is a little weak due to strange bones. He can't succeed in becoming a priest, and he doesn't have the strength to build a temple. But he also wants to serve the Earth Mother, and he hopes to follow the will of the god and serve the people of the city. What to do? After hearing Liu Sheng's proposal, he immediately agreed in a hurry.
"This child, a girl, is always mischievous, why should she go to school!" Priest Yanran was a little angry and a little ashamed. He was busy for a few days and couldn't take care of the child. He didn't expect Xiaoya to be so naughty and mischievous. , what if it interferes with Mr. Zhuang’s class.
"Women can also go to school. This is what Mr. Zhuang and I agreed." Liu Sheng suddenly said from the side, "Xiao Ya should also learn some knowledge. In the future, she should be as good as you and be able to actively choose what she wants. .”
Priest Yanran was embarrassed. Said: "What am I..."
"Think about it, if you hadn't been literate, you wouldn't have been able to become a priest so quickly, and you would have become the great priest's right-hand man! "Priest Dawn even praised him, his dark face full of envy.
"I also learned that from reading "The Commandments of Women" when I was a child..."
"Whether you were forced to learn it when you were a child, or you took the initiative to learn it, you still have to have knowledge. Isn't this The great priest often said that the pursuit of truth will bring us closer and closer to God..." Priest Dawn scratched his head, not sure whether what he remembered was correct, and turned to Liu Sheng for help.
"Well, that's right. Only by seeking truth and knowledge can you get closer to God." Liu Sheng said with an enigmatic expression.
“Look, the great priest has said it. In short, you are right to listen to the great priest!” Priest Mingxiao looked like someone who has come before. “It was also because of the great priest that I became a homeowner. Originally, I thought it was absolutely impossible for me to own a house of my own, such a big house..." As she said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
When she cried like this, a few drops of water dropped from the roof.
Liu Sheng took a few steps away from Priest Dawn in time, but Priest Yanran didn't react in time and was dripped. He thought it was raining somewhere and was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
"Sister Mingxiao, don't cry. This temple has just been painted..." Priest Yanran felt helpless.
This spacious and majestic new temple was originally a large house of a local squire. After being transformed, it was purified and subdued by the high priest. After asking around who wanted to be bound to it, it was finally handed over to the priest of dawn.
Priest Dawn doesn’t like to go out. Apart from serving the statues in the shrine every day, he also cooks some food in the kitchen, so it’s the most suitable thing for her.
Unexpectedly, Priest Dawn was ecstatic after being bound, and kept shouting that I have a house, I have a house!
I don’t know where this obsession comes from as she has no past memories.
However, the sequelae of this binding is that her emotions will affect the house, so everyone makes jokes with the stern-faced Dawn Priest every day in order to make their lives under the roof easier in the future.
Unknowingly, the tight plate on Priest Dawn’s face loosened, and he really showed the color of Dawn.
These days, everyone’s favorite sentence is: Dawn Priest smiled, she finally smiled!
Now Liu Sheng can't let her cry anymore.
"Okay, Yanran, go find Xiaoya quickly." Liu Sheng urged.
After watching Priest Yanran say goodbye and turn away, Liu Sheng said to Priest Dawn: "I'm here to find you."
After hearing this, Priest Dawn quickly put away his tears and asked, "I wonder if the Great Priest is there?" What's the order?"
"I want to see him," Liu Sheng said directly.
This sentence has no beginning and no end, but Priest Dawn understands it.
"Please, the great priest, follow me."
...
Beyond the mirage, what everyone saw was that Liu Sheng returned to the temple that was being repaired, asked Priest Dawn for a few words, and then followed Priest Dawn to where the previous great priest was now. Go to the room.
They still remember that when they moved to this new temple, Liu Sheng, in gratitude for the great priest's contribution, specially left a room where the sun just came in in the morning and a camellia tree was planted outside the window. He lives in retirement and attracts a lot of praise.
It wasn’t until Wen Xuanning did the same thing that he gradually looked down on the matter.
Now that I saw Liu Sheng walking to the courtyard where the former high priest was, I couldn't help feeling that the scenery was really nice. Under the setting sun, the camellia trees were as beautiful as blood.
"This room looks warm and comfortable at first glance. It is most beneficial to the joints of the elderly. Liu Sheng also has good intentions." Hanshan Jun said.
"The house itself is larger than that of Mr. Wen. Naturally, we can leave a house with such good conditions for the old priest." Li Shangshu said in a nonchalant manner.
Then they watched Liu Sheng enter the house to visit the old priest who was reading in An Ran, and then took care of his food and daily life.
Then Priest Dawn, who was waiting outside, also walked in. He cared about the old leader and chatted for a while before leaving.
“It’s good to think of visiting the old priest.” Academician Yan nodded.
"It's a pity that the old priest still didn't tell her about the altar..." Hanshan Jun had a slight regret on his face.
But for Liu Sheng, it was normal for the old priest not to say anything.
Because the real scene is not like this.
……
Dark and damp basement.
Liu Sheng looked at the exhausted old priest with a mocking look on his face.
