I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 34

Watson put down the bucket and lifted the bloody towel, revealing Feuerbach's pale and distorted face.

The other party felt the sobriety and beauty of the air for the first time in a long time, and he gasped greedily, but the injury in his lung was pulled, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Watson wiped the blood off his fist and said lightly:

"Speak, I will give you a happy ending."

Feuerbach gasped violently for a long time before he came back to his senses, and his cloudy brain was reactivated by refilling it with fresh air.

He recalled the desperate pain of suffocation just now, which was an unbearable torture for him as a follower of the Scar Chief—the pain erupting from the inside was far more intense and vicious than the flesh wound cut by the blade.

He cried out in pain and tears: "Woooooo, I say, I say, I say!"

"I belong to the Order of the Shining Blade. The order worships the great Captain Scar, and mainly studies the secret transmission of the blade and the lamp."

"This time I came to trouble you because I received an order from the leader. He said that you have criminal evidence of our church in your hands, which will bring us a lot of trouble... He, he also gave me 50 pounds as a reward." For the reward, I only used a small part, and the rest is still in my inner pocket."

The criminal evidence of the Order of the Shining Blade...Watson thought to himself, when will I have this thing?Sounds like a random excuse made up to cover up the real reason for killing me.

He took out a few £5 banknotes from the kid's inner pocket, the style was as brand new as if it had just been taken out of a printing factory, and it still smelled of ink ink,... It seemed that there was no way to get anything useful from them clues.

"Tell me about your church."

"The church... The address of our church headquarters is located in an abandoned factory at the river bend. The previous owner was Kate and Hero Co., Ltd. As far as I know, there are currently eight members of the church besides me, the leader, five One believer, two disciples."

Kate and Herlo Co., Ltd. Watson thought that this was a familiar name again, and it was also the suspected mysterious case mentioned in Holmes' memorabilia. Get in touch?
"What is the difference between a believer and a disciple?"

"Whether to pass the promotion ceremony."

Watson was refreshed when he heard this, he dragged a chair to sit down, and asked with interest: "What is the promotion ceremony?"

Feuerbach swallowed a mouthful of blood foam and continued: "It is said that it is a secret ceremony that can quickly improve the strength of believers without the need to practice secret transmission. I don't know the specific content of the ceremony. I just joined the sect. It will take half a year...and when the ceremony is held, the leader and the ceremonial performers will hide in a secret dark room, and I have no right to watch it."

"The only thing I know is that the success rate of this ceremony is very low. Since I joined the sect, it has been held once a month on average, but most of the time, the leader dragged the corpses of believers covered in black cloth from the dark room alone. Coming out... For such a long time, I have also seen a believer who was successfully promoted to a disciple. When he came out, he would put on clean clothes, but his face was pale as if he had lost too much blood, and he needed the support of others to barely walk. See Looks very weak."

Watson nodded secretly. Sounds like some kind of dangerous plastic surgery?Or is it a way to overdraw potential in advance?Not necessarily, the bizarre things related to Si Chen often surpassed his poor imagination, maybe he shouldn't try to guess, or wait for seeing is believing.

It was not easy for him to meet an apprentice who had a systematic knowledge inheritance of the hidden world, so he naturally wanted to ask all the questions he cared about.

"How many types of secret transmissions are there? What are the effects of each?"

Feuerbach couldn't believe it when he heard that, his unrecognizable face was full of doubts, you don't even know the most basic information of the hidden world?Such a layman detective can also collect evidence of crimes committed by our cult? !

Watson watched the boy stammer, pretending to lift the bucket.

Seeing this, Feuerbach recalled the feeling of covering his face with a wet towel to block his breath, and quickly said: "I said, I said, the current hidden world is divided into nine types according to the corresponding principles and thoughts of secret transmission: Lamp, casting, blade, winter, heart, cup, moth, secret history, enlightenment... Among them, the secret history is the most mysterious and does not have power."

"Lamp is the criterion of inhumanity and rationality. Lamp apprentices are pure scholars, weak in body but vigorous in spirit, and their desire for knowledge seems endless."

"Casting is the principle of transformation and destruction. Most of the secret casting apprentices have advanced craftsman skills, and have a strong body like steel that can withstand high temperatures."

"Blade is the criterion for fighting and fighting. Our blade secret apprentices are real warriors, good at killing and fighting."

"Winter is the criterion of silence, the end, and things that don't always pass away. Winter secret apprentices are rarely heard in the hidden world. They seem to just hide and observe silently, and never take the initiative to get involved in secular affairs."

"Heart is the criterion of longevity and continuation. Heart secret apprentices are all energetic people, and they seem to have a special ability to heal injuries quickly."

"Cups are the criterion for fertility and feasting. Cup secret apprentices are sensualists, a group of guys who are only interested in pleasure, but I heard that they are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned."

"Moth is the criterion of chaos and longing. Moth apprentices and lamp apprentices are two types of opposites. They are both crazy and irrational. Even if they study secret transmission normally, their bodies will become different from ordinary people. .”

"Kai, is the criterion of opening and dismantling. Qimi apprentices are very good at unlocking or opening something, whether it's a door or a lock, or themselves."

After Feuerbach finished the series of messages in one breath, he pulled his lungs again, coughing and spitting blood.

Watson nodded slightly. Sure enough, these serious pagans are more familiar with the basic knowledge of the hidden world, so it's time for him to give himself a good science.

And it sounds like this secret biography of the blade seems to be quite suitable for him... Maybe I should consider changing other secret biography. Fat schizophrenia with a bucket of shit—I'm bad enough.

He very politely scooped a glass of water from the bucket next to him and handed it to the other party's mouth, allowing the other party to rest for a while to moisturize his throat, and then poured the remaining half bucket of water on the other party's lower body to wash away the unpleasant smell of urine , and then ask yourself the most concerned question:
"Is there any trick to quickly improve the Secret Tradition? Can ordinary people learn more than one Secret Tradition at the same time?"

Feuerbach took a sip, "Thank you, Gu Gu... I don't know much about this. I only know that in the early stage of Secret Biography of the Blade, you can quickly improve by killing lives, but the effect of this method becomes less and less the later it is."

"Practicing multiple types of esoteric teachings at the same time... is theoretically possible, but different esoteric teachings represent different standards. As the esoteric teachings gradually improve, the practitioner's thinking and spirit will gradually move closer to the corresponding standards. "

"Currently the Hidden World generally recognizes that there are three upper limits for concurrent cultivation of secret transmission. It is not impossible to increase it further. It is necessary to ensure that the progress of secret transmission must maintain a certain difference, and ensure that the secret transmission that is mainly practiced has the upper hand, otherwise the same The different principles represented by the stage secret will set off a tug-of-war in the apprentice's brain, which is very likely to cause the apprentice to break down and become a lunatic with multiple thoughts."

Watson narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and the upper limit is three...and I already have two secret courses, so does it mean that I can only take one more part-time?
"Then how can we continue to go further after the current esoteric practice has reached its consummation?"

"It is necessary to get in touch with a deeper level of Si Chen's history... In the current hidden world, the level of secret transmission is mainly judged by the depth and content of Si Chen's secrets involved in the knowledge. Biography, to the deep and mysterious seventh-order secret biography related to Si Chen's essence."

"Seven steps of secret biography are like seven sharp-edged ladders. Ordinary people must carefully climb up step by step. If they accidentally come into contact with advanced hidden knowledge, they will stride over the steps, and at least they will fall down from the steps and suffer ten thousand blades." Eat meat and scrape bones, or get out of control and deform."

"And the number seven has an extremely special mysterious meaning in the hidden world. Human beings are born with seven orifices, and there are seven types of suffering in the world. There are seven named persons under the Si Chen, and seven immortals under the named persons. There are seven masters below... There are many secrets that I don't know, and there is a special connection with the number seven."

Watson pondered for a moment. He never expected that the scholars of these hidden worlds would come up with a seemingly stable upward path from the bizarre knowledge... But would the mysterious Chens really do what mortals wish so easily? ?

"What do those who understand, those who live forever, and those who have a name represent? Explain."

Feuerbach shook his head, "I'm really not sure about this, I've only seen vague records of the Immortals and Named Persons in the classics, and I only know that they have shed their mortal bodies and ascended to Mansu to serve Sichen Existence...it is the one who understands, I heard the leader mentioned it, it is said that he has passed through the stag gate and started to really come into contact with the first real mystery of Mansu, the esoteric researcher, he is no longer an ignorant apprentice."

"The Stag Gate?"

"The stag's gate is also called the apprentice's gate in the hidden world. Those who step through this gate mean that you already know a certain amount of secret knowledge, and you can be promoted to a knowledgeable person. That is a veritable secret apprentice... But these are all It’s just what I heard from the church, I haven’t left the woods myself, I haven’t even opened the first door of Mansu, and I’ve been wandering around the edge of Mansu all the time.”

"The second door...then what is the first door?"

"The Gate of Pure White, also known as the Gate of Bones and the Gate of Ivory, is also the first gate of the house. Although Mansu has no walls, the real Mansu can only be reached through the gate. It is said that after the apprentice passes through this gate, My own soul quality about sound will stay outside the door, and I can only wander in the Mansu silently..."

Feuerbach seemed to have suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, and before Watson could ask any questions, he explained proactively: "By the way, the HOS is the real Mansu, the place where all the ministers live."

Watson nodded. This kid is so cooperative, he is really a little embarrassed to do it.

"Then how can we find the Pure White Gate in the woodland as dark as the deep sea? What are the characteristics or shortcuts and methods?"

Feuerbach shook his head, "This...is a question that cannot be considered until the secret transmission progress has reached a higher level. I really don't know."

"Oh, do you now have something that contains hidden knowledge?"

"No--"

Bang, an undisguised gunshot echoed on Baker Street in the middle of the night, the sleeping neighbors woke up from their dreams, the lights of every house were noisy, and the police detectives who followed the sound opened the door and entered... …

　Recently, I saw that many book friends mentioned that the dialogue in this book is more like fantasy than fantasy...

　　No wonder the editor asked me if I wanted to vote for fantasy. I wondered if Victoria London’s category of fantasy would be too inappropriate... It turned out that I only saw the first layer.

　　So I would also like to ask everyone's opinions on how to change:
　　1. The idioms and literary words in the dialogue are changed to vernacular.

　　2. Classic Tone: Oh I swear to God, if I ever hear you speak in that disgusting tone again, I'm going to kick your ass with my shoehorn!
