Chapter 624: The Magnificent Temple (Two in One)
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Su saw that the time was almost up, so she took Liu Sheng and left the National Academy of Sciences in a hurry.
The two of them got on Mrs. Su’s carriage equipped with technology and rushed to Chang’an.
After a long while, Liu Sheng finally couldn't help but ask: "Master Su, why don't we just go there with flying swords?"
The main reason for this question is that although This carriage is a spiritual weapon, but it is still running on the ground, bumping very bumpyly, and its horsepower is limited, so its speed is far slower than the flying sword.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she glanced sideways at Liu Sheng.
"It's snowing outside, how dare I fly in the cold wind with my old bones?"
Liu Sheng was slightly stunned, and could only smile to express his understanding.
However, after experiencing the comfort and speed of cloud sedans and flying cars, Liu Sheng was still a little unaccustomed to it, and she always felt that it was difficult to overcome the difficulties.
She glanced at the snowflakes flying outside the car and thought to herself that when Uncle Cheap's develops the "hearse", it will soon become popular in Chang'an, and Qingyun Pavilion will become famous in one battle.
However, there is still room for discussion about this name. In short, she is opposed to it.
The road was bumpy and long, and there was no words in the carriage.
So Mrs. Su started talking about Liu Sheng's article.
"This article of yours..."
Old Mrs. Su leaned against the car wall. Although her tone was casual, her eyes were somewhat sharp.
"There seems to be a desire to explore the source of spiritual energy. In other words, you don't think that spiritual energy comes from the palace of the Supreme God?"
Liu Sheng quickly lowered his head with a humble attitude: "Students dare not "
"Why don't you dare?" Mrs. Su chuckled, "You can see that the temple is very secretive about this, but if they really don't want to know, they won't approve my training topic."
[Isn’t this because you are highly respected? 】
Of course Liu Sheng would not say it.
However, Mrs. Su herself said bluntly: "Ahem, although I have also used some means."
"But with the status of the temple, what do my relationships count? If the temple is not interested, even if I persist , they will not compromise easily."
Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"So, you don't have to worry." Mrs. Su waved her hand, "What's more, the temple probably wants to know these answers more than you do now. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to summon me to the capital."< br>
“Moreover, you should have felt the aura of spiritual cultivation recently...”
Just as he was talking, the carriage passed the Chang'an city gate, but was stopped.
The curtain was lifted, and a gatekeeper wearing shimmering Kingo Guard armor looked at the two people in the carriage and said sternly:
"Please show me the road directions and identity documents. "
Mrs. Su and Liu Sheng looked at each other, took out their identity tokens and handed them to the person in front of them.
The gatekeeper's eyes under the helmet were originally very cold, but after taking the tokens and looking at them, one was a token for a second-grade bachelor, and the other was a token for a student of the National Academy of Sciences. His eyes immediately softened a lot, and his attitude softened a lot. He also became polite.
"May I ask for directions to the Grand Scholar and the Jinshi..."
Old Mrs. Su took out a letter from her arms and handed it over, "This is my letter of participation. Today's meeting in the temple will be held. I am a special advisor. This is my student.”
The gatekeeper carefully took the letter, which was clearly printed with the logo of the Supreme God - a face without facial features, symbolizing. You cannot look directly at the indescribable Supreme God.
No one would dare to forge such a logo.
He opened the letter carefully and took a quick look at it, as well as the seal of the temple. Sure enough, what the great bachelor said was true. He quickly put it back and handed it back politely.
"Correct."
The normal process can end here. Mrs. Su was about to urge the carriage when she heard the gatekeeper say: "Please wait a moment, sir."
Then, he took out a piece of jade that looked very familiar to Liu Sheng and smiled apologetically, "Grand Bachelor, please don't mind for a routine inspection."
"What is this?" Mrs. Su asked curiously. .
"This is the spiritual weapon that our boss urgently purchased from Qingyun Pavilion early this morning. It is said to be able to detect evil spirits." The gatekeeper explained.
When Liu Sheng heard this, his thoughts moved.
After a while, the jade piece showed green light, and the gatekeeper nodded with satisfaction: "You can enter the city."
On the other hand, Mrs. Su couldn't help but ask more questions. One sentence: "Usually, the inspections are not so strict. What is going on today?" "
The gatekeeper did not dare to be negligent and replied respectfully: "Returning to the Grand Master, there is a strange thing escaping in the city, which is very hidden. In order to prevent trouble, the inspections in and out of the city will be stricter today."
< br>"That's it." Mrs. Su nodded understandingly.
The carriage started.
Cross the city gate and enter Chang'an.
The atmosphere in the city is indeed different. Patrolling soldiers and priests can be seen everywhere, and people are searching carefully even in the streets and alleys.
"It seems that this strange thing is not simple. It can't even be caught in the temple. It has to borrow this new folk-refined spiritual weapon. This is strange..." Mrs. Su put down the curtain. If there is Said thoughtfully.
"This weird thing..." Liu Sheng pondered, and then whispered, "Not only is it good at hiding weird things, but it also seems to be very experienced in counter-reconnaissance. It may even...may be humanoid, or very... Possibly, he was once a human being.”
After all, Mrs. Su used to be Sizheng of the Inspectorate of the Weaving Institute. Upon hearing what Liu Sheng said, her pupils shrank slightly and she rubbed her chin as she thought.
After a long while, she said slowly: "Even if the strange things I have seen so far are originally humans, under the erosion of the strange aura, it is almost impossible to maintain human thinking... If it is true as you said, this The monster has a strong sense of autonomy, which is very dangerous."
Liu Sheng suddenly felt shocked.
Isn’t this just weird?
Could it be that the power of the Supreme God has begun to fail, and the age of weirdness is finally coming?
...
Driving all the way, the carriage passed through Zhuque Street along the central axis of Chang'an, arrived at the gate of the Imperial City, and continued to circle, heading north along the Imperial City wall.
Liu Sheng looked at the high ground behind the imperial city through the car window, and her heart moved slightly.
She did not expect that the temple would be built further north of the imperial city.
On second thought, this makes sense.
In this world, the temple is above the imperial power. According to the layout of Chang'an, it is located on the high ground further north, overlooking the imperial city and the entire Chang'an. This is truly in line with the supreme status of the Supreme God.
The carriage went higher and higher, and gradually entered a mountainous area.
Tall mountains rise from the ground, covered with a thin layer of snow.
From a distance, Liu Sheng saw the temple on the top of the mountain. The golden roof reflected dazzling light, like a pearl embedded in the sky and earth.
【It is indeed condescending. 】
On the way up the mountain, Liu Sheng could still see many believers coming and going, and there were even devout people who kowtowed every step of the way. As expected, the level of piety was completely different.
Arrived at the top of the mountain, the carriage slowly stopped.
Liu Sheng followed Mrs. Su out of the car and looked around, only to see a magnificent building complex appearing in front of her.
In Liu Sheng’s original world, there was no time to build a temple.
Wen Xuanning is still the weird and heart-stopping temple in Li Xuan's hand, but it is just a distorted image of the temple.
But the one in front of us completely conforms to people's fantasy of a "temple". The main hall is majestic and majestic, with the door reaching a height of five feet. It is so majestic that it makes people look up and fear it.
Around the main hall, the walls are engraved with huge reliefs, vividly recreating the scene of the Supreme God coming to the world to protect all living beings in the first year of the Divine Appearance.
In front of the temple is a vast bluestone square, surrounded by tall ancient cypresses, which seems to isolate the hustle and bustle of the world, leaving only the smoke of incense.
On the high mountain behind the temple, a huge altar can be vaguely seen. It looks familiar to Liu Sheng. It was the altar used to transform the small world during the trial.
"This temple is indeed not simple..."
Liu Sheng thought to himself and entered the main hall with Mrs. Su.
What comes into view are countless reliefs surrounding the four walls, and carved columns reaching to the sky supporting the dome, and above the dome, the wonders of the world of gods are depicted.
Liu Sheng raised his head and looked at it, knowing that it was all from his imagination.
In the inner hall, there is an endless stream of believers, kneeling on the futons and praying devoutly.
The incense was thick and the smoke was lingering, as if the entire hall was enveloped in a layer of dim smoke, giving it a strange feeling.
At the end of the hall, stands a huge statue of the Supreme God.
The statue of the god stands high in the sky, reaching the top, and its face is shrouded in the shadow of the dome, making it difficult to see clearly.
This is countless times larger than Liu Sheng’s statue in the new world.
Standing at the foot of the statue, I felt a sense of insignificance. I wished I could just kneel down and express awe and worship towards the statue of the Supreme God.
Liu Sheng knew that this was from traces of his past spiritual connections.
She quickly got rid of the restraining force, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that Mrs. Su had knelt down and prayed devoutly on the futon.
Seeing this, Liu Sheng felt a chill in her heart, and slowly knelt down, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and pretended to pray.
However, the moment he closed his eyes, Liu Sheng felt a strange wave.
She seemed to be pulled into a certain space, into the void, and she saw the huge true form of the Supreme God again.
The majestic god looked down at her, majestic and inviolable.
She knew that this was entering the realm of spirituality.
But although the state of trance still existed, she could keenly feel that something was different.
The sense of oppression from the Supreme God has weakened a lot.
Moreover, it seems that there are only a few gifts left that she can obtain from the Supreme God.
This should be the remaining power of the Supreme God's device.
Even, she could feel that the gods in front of her were gradually decaying.
The sacred light gradually peeled off, revealing the dim background of the abyss. The outline began to blur, no longer like a fixed entity, but like countless twisting worms, twisting and swimming at the edge of her sight. move.
An indescribable fear arises spontaneously.
And was approaching her.
She quickly activated the "Unshackles and Ascension Technique" and forcibly pulled away from it.
With this withdrawal, she found herself out of the void and came to the main hall, close to the dome, looking down at the believers who were praying below.
A low and distant murmur came from the depths of the hall, like thousands of superimposed whispers, or like a hum seeping out of the void.
She felt that the palace below was breathing slowly, as if it was coming to life.
The sacred scenes on the reliefs were distorted in her eyes, turning into indescribably weird pictures.
And the pillars were twisted like lumps and knots, with countless human figures groaning out of them, as if they were made of corpses.
The body of the statue in front seemed to melt, giving birth to maggots. Thick black liquid overflowed from the faceless face, outlining the sneer of facial features. Looking down at the kneeling believers, they turned into low-lying crawling monsters... …
She wanted to look away, but found that she could not turn her eyes at all, as if there was an irresistible force forcing her to stare at the gradually disintegrating form of the statue.
The face of the god statue began to change, and the black liquid flowing on the god's face cracked into slender gaps, and strange lights shone in the gaps, like countless twisted stars spinning.
"It's looking at me..." Liu Sheng's heart beat like a drum, and his consciousness seemed to be torn to pieces in that gaze.
She heard Mrs. Su's whisper in her ears, but she couldn't hear the content clearly.
The sound and gibbering were mixed together, flooding into her brain like a tide.
【Wake up! 】
Liu Sheng's own voice penetrated the chaotic babble and penetrated into his mind.
At this moment, Liu Sheng finally regained his consciousness, his figure slowly descended from the air, merged into his kneeling body, and once again concentrated on operating the "Unshackles and Ascension to Immortality Method".
Only then did she wake up completely.
She slowly opened her eyes, still pious on the surface, but her heart was filled with ups and downs.
The Supreme God is falling.
Tongshen can no longer be practiced.
She is not the only one who feels this way, but why hasn’t she heard about it so far?
[When I think about it, no one dares to say anything. They only think that they have done something wrong, causing the Supreme God to no longer favor them and punish them. 】
Liu Sheng lowered his eyes and sighed slightly:
[Sure enough, faith is the strongest shackles. 】
After regaining consciousness, Liu Sheng finally had enough energy to think about whether the void just now had something in common with the void she had entered through the Seven Mysteries Order.
If there is really something in common, then is the temple's connection to the gods equivalent to a natural Seven Mysterious Order, through which one can return to the original world?
However, Liu Sheng calmed down quickly.
The void just now is different from the void where it has a strong sense of autonomy.
The so-called communication with the gods should be similar to the Supreme God allocating different lines to individuals, forming short-term links, which can only reach a designated isolated space, and there is a certain distance from the real void.
In that space, you can sense divine inspiration and receive spiritual energy.
But how much you can gain depends entirely on your own three-dimensional practice, that is, the device itself will evaluate the individual based on certain standards and then allocate the "spiritual energy quota."
However, this pool of spiritual energy is now gradually drying up.
Liu Sheng knew that this was related to her. Although she had no choice but to do so, she still felt a strong responsibility and the need to solve this problem quickly.
This is also the reason why she chose the title of this article now.
After completing his routine prayer to the Supreme God, Liu Sheng opened one eye slightly and quietly looked at Mrs. Su beside him.
I saw Mrs. Su slowly regaining her concentration, holding on to her cane tremblingly, as if preparing to stand up.
Liu Sheng quickly stepped forward to help.
She did not miss the flash of surprise on Mrs. Su's face, and the deep fear in her eyes, so she tentatively asked:
"Master Su, are you okay? "
Mrs. Su frowned slightly and shook her head after a moment of silence.
I’ve been a little busy these past two days, so I posted late
