Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng stood in the light and was at the front.

The Pope is behind him.

In the main hall, thousands of bishops knelt on the ground like a tide.

In the square, tens of thousands of state cavalry and priests knelt on the ground like a tide.

Outside the palace, hundreds of thousands of believers knelt on the ground like a tide.

Looking at this scene, the Pope slowly narrowed his eyes, as if he were drinking wine, he was very satisfied and happy.

His eyes narrowed more and more until they closed and never opened again.

No one can see the vast sea of ​​stars in those old eyes anymore.

Chen Changsheng turned his head and looked over, his hand holding the staff trembling slightly.

Mao Qiuyu supported the Pope's body and shook his head at him.

There was a hint of commotion in the crowd nearby, but there was no chaos. Led by Eucalyptus Lin and the other archbishops, everyone was still kneeling, but... there was an occasional cry.

The chants for purifying the Taoist heart, full of cries of nostalgia and sorrow, floated higher and higher in the majestic Hall of Light, and then were temporarily invited back to the earthly world by the sound of a bell.

Whether it was the holy bells of the Li Palace, the holy bells of the Archdiocese, or the Tiandaoyuan, they all rang at the same time.

The bells quickly spread throughout Kyoto, and then further afield, sending the news of His Majesty the Pope's return to the sea of ​​​​stars to all parts of the continent.

Scratch, scratch, scratch, countless sounds of metal friction seemed to sound at the same time.

The state cavalrymen in the square between the palaces drew their weapons, and a black wave arose 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 towards the night sky and towards the silent and unchanging billions of stars. This is not a demonstration of the sea of ​​​​stars in the world, but a cheer. In other words, this is a grand journey to see you off thousands of miles away.

Sowol Hall, Guiqing Palace, Mosso, Qingshui Watai, Cheondo Hall, and Qiuyu are the six most important palaces in the palace. At this moment, the extremely sacred and majestic atmosphere of the Six Paths comes from these palaces, towards the deserted loneliness It flew away from the night sky, and then met somewhere and turned into six visible lights.

The colors of the lights were different and looked like a rainbow.

No one has ever seen a rainbow at night. People kneeling on the ground in the palace, and people kneeling everywhere in Kyoto, all raised their heads, shocked by the vision in the sky, and thought sadly, maybe this is the rainbow. The last farewell to His Majesty the Pope on earth?

Chen Changsheng knew that it was not a rainbow, but power.

At the moment when the six auras emerged from the Sogetsu Hall and six other palaces, he and all the ascetics in the Star Gathering Realm in Kyoto clearly sensed that power. This power comes from the state religion's treasures in the six palaces, and also from the ground between the palaces. To be more precise, from the formation below the ground.

Taoism has existed for countless years, and has been revered as the state religion for nearly a thousand years. It was also the state religion of several famous dynasties before. In terms of its profound historical background and rich accumulation of resources, in some aspects, even the current imperial court cannot see it. It can't be compared. It's not surprising that there are such formations and there are many unknown artifacts.

For example, the torch stuck on the bedside at this time - daytime fireworks.

This sacred weapon of the demon clan has been stored in Lingyan Pavilion for many years. It is an important part of the imperial chariot map. On the night of the Tianshu Mausoleum Incident, the Queen of Tianhai threw the Shuangyu Divine Spear and destroyed Lingyan Pavilion. All the portraits inside were burned to ashes, and the Shuangyu Divine Spear was missing. People thought that it should have been hidden in the palace again.

Who would have thought that the fireworks during the day would actually return to the palace.

What was once a holy weapon of the demon clan, and later a great treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is now just an ordinary lighting thing.

The light, which is holy, blazing but not dazzling, and has no temperature, falls on the Pope's old face. I believe it will not make him feel any discomfort.

Chen Changsheng was sitting on the edge of the couch. After reciting the Immortal Sutra for the ninth time, he stood up and looked at the fireworks in the daytime and the secluded hall illuminated by them.

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 staff, the treasures in the six palaces, the formations in the palace, and the people who are still kneeling in worship inside and outside the palace at this time. 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 clearly that there should be some inheritance, but now he doesn’t know where it is.

His Majesty the Pope has expressed his intention very clearly that after his death, the thing will be kept by Chen Changsheng.

Where did the pot of green leaves go?

…

…

Six holy auras formed a beautiful rainbow in the night sky. One end of the rainbow was in the Li Palace, running 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 part receives more light and blessings.

Everyone on the earth can see the vast sea of ​​stars, but the starlight has never shone on the world. At the bottom of the abandoned well near Beixinqiao near the Imperial City, there was neither sunlight nor starlight all year round. Today, there was miraculously a lot of light, and those lights were part of the rainbow coming from the palace.

The dark and cold underground space of the past hundreds of years has not become warmer, but at least it is no longer so scary, especially when the light illuminates the frost and snow on the ground, and also illuminates many things above the frost and snow. Things, those things make this place isolated from human beings show the taste of the world.

There are stoves of different heights everywhere, which look like termite nests, as well as various kitchen utensils. There is no shortage of pots and pans. Tuzhou charcoal with extremely strong firepower is piled up into a hill, and iron charcoal of different sizes and thicknesses are piled up. There are more than a dozen pots, and the special tabletop as big as a lake is piled with countless dishes that ordinary people can imagine.

About three hundred feet opposite, it should be a study room. There are no walls, and naturally there are no paintings or calligraphy hanging on it. There are only extremely long and endless bookshelves. The shelves are filled with books. Along the bookshelves, there are various kinds of books. The style furniture is arranged towards the front in sequence, desks, chairs, imperial concubines, until far away...

There is a very large bed there, not even much smaller than the lake facing the National Education College. This bed is particularly gorgeous, with extremely rich carvings. The bed is covered with thirty-six layers of quilts, and the bed rails are inlaid with seventy-two luminous pearls. Just by looking at it, you can imagine how comfortable it would be to lie on it.

The dragon girl in black named Zhizhi, also known as Zhusha or Hongzhuang, was lying on the bed at this time, but it was obvious that she did not feel very comfortable. It was not because there was an inconspicuous pea at the bottom of the thirty-six quilts, nor was it because the blue lobster Chen Changsheng sent for the last time was not fresh enough, but because she was very nervous at this time.

The rainbow from the 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 most noble and powerful mysterious dragon in the world. She can see a silver leaf thousands of miles away. Naturally, she can also clearly see the changes that are taking place on that wall at this time - the piece of ice covered with frost and snow. A cluster of green leaves grew on the stone wall.
