Chapter 54 Barrier
  Bai's eyeballs scanned for a week and he shook his head: "There is no power."

"That's good." Yu Qian walked forward, "Let's take a look at the situation first."

Within two steps, her footsteps stopped in place.

She stretched out her hand, touched the air, and swiped a few times in the air: "What the hell is this?"

Invisible barriers blocked her path.

An ancient word that he saw in the documents came to Yu Qian's mind - barrier.

The only road is blocked.

"You...why are you here?" The woman's figure poked out from the door in the corner of the city wall, holding a basket of dry grass in her arms.

There was a weakness that could not be concealed on Seciya's beautiful face.

Yu Qian didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance here: "Something unexpected happened, why did you..."

She did seem to have encountered a big accident, and her clothes were in tatters and bleeding.

Secchia's expression was serious. She did not ask what accident happened, but urged urgently: "The Holy See is in danger, get out of here quickly."

She walked out of the city gate.

Yu Qian saw that she actually passed through the barrier: "Can you come out?"

Secchia nodded: "Only those who have been branded by the Holy See can pass through the barrier, or your cultivation reaches the strength to break through the barrier, but people who pass through the barrier will also be sensed by the ancient gods. You have to leave here quickly. There are also eagles patrolling near the Holy See.”

After she said this, a loud cry came from the sky, and a black goshawk hovered above, its sharp eyes scanning below.

Saekiya quickly pulled Yu Qian and went into the forest to hide: "Go all the way to the right from here. At the end of the city wall, there is a path in the forest. It is an abandoned confinement room. If you follow it, you can pass the Holy See and go directly to the central city. .”

Yu Qian got important information. She looked at Secchia's not-so-good face and said caringly to her best tool: "I heard that you were taken away by the Holy See. Your face doesn't look good. Are you injured?" ?”

"No, it's just some conflicts within the Holy See." Saikia looked at the injuries on her body, raised her hand, and white spiritual energy poured out, fell on Yu Qian, and healed most of her wounds, "Thank you for your concern. .”

Yu Qian swore that he never meant to imply that she was injured, but Bai Jian's treatment was not in vain: "You're welcome."

"I've read about the Holy See's barrier in the information." She added, "There are also cultivators in the Holy See, right?"

Secchia nodded: "Yes, but... their attitude towards cultivators is not very good. If you are caught here, you may not be able to leave."

She didn't say Yu Qian would die, she said she couldn't leave.

Yu Qian asked: "What will happen? Will he also be controlled?"

"Yes." Seciya said, "It may be different from what you think. This kind of control..."

Suddenly there was a loud ringing of a bell.

"Boom-"

Echoes linger.

Saekiya stopped talking and pushed Yu Qian urgently: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Yu Qian grabbed her and said, "You are having a hard time in the Holy See and can't you leave? Do you want to go with me?"

Secchia was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I can't leave, you forgot that I am being controlled. What I just wanted to say is that this kind of control cannot be shaken off even by death. My soul no longer belongs to Me."

After she finished speaking, she dumped the basket of dead grass under the tree, hugged the basket, turned around and ran back in the direction she came from, her steps hurried, and the bell sounded like a summons.

Yu Qian watched her figure disappear behind the door.

She knelt down, picked up two pieces of dead grass and put them into her pocket, then turned around and walked in the direction Secchia said.

Yu Qian is very curious about the Holy See, but now is not a good time to explore. There is indeed a secret passage in the place that Secchia mentioned. It is very hidden, hidden in the body of a tree. At first glance, it is no different from any tree in the forest, but it has a hidden door.

From the door is a tunnel leading downwards, which is so dark that it seems to lead to hell.

The damp smell that hits your face is mixed with a musty smell and a very old rust smell.

This smell is very familiar to Yu Qian. It is the residual smell after blood has dried for a long time.

Entering the tunnel, she saw large dark brown blood stains on the closed doors of each room.

It's called a solitary room here, but it's actually more like a prison cell.

The road was longer than she imagined.

"Is this a maze?" She looked at the abyss-like darkness in front of her. "It's really a good way to torture people. Normal people would go crazy if they were kept in confinement here."

It took her six or seven hours to finally find the exit.

The moment she opened the door, she was choked by dust and coughed violently.

No one has pushed this door open for who knows how many years, and the dust is falling like rain.

At the exit is an archive room.

Dusty portfolios are placed on neat shelves.

Yu Qian picked up the bag, shook off the dust, and looked through it. Most of the dates were from seventy to ninety years ago, which meant that no one else had been here for nearly a hundred years.

The records in it are all public officials of the Holy See. They are very detailed, including when and what mistakes they made and what punishments they received.

There was a message inside that aroused Yu Qian's curiosity - "Sister Lina was chosen by the ancient gods. She will become the new saint. This is the highest honor."

Chosen by the Ancient God?

Saint?

She knew every word, but the words combined together made it difficult for her to understand.

She has always felt that "god" is just a concept promoted by the Holy See and a tool for them to rule believers.

But after cultivating, she did come into contact with countless things that could not be explained by common sense, and she also speculated that maybe "gods" did exist.

Bai spoke up at this time. He saw the records in the file and said, "The so-called gods are not necessarily what humans imagine."

"Indeed." Yu Qian put the file bag back on the shelf, "People always think about getting God's blessing and love, and try to transcend their souls. But if it is like the Holy See said, God really loves people, why should people suffer and suffer? pain."

She said: "How can God love people? If they are not of my race, just don't kill them, how can they love?"

Bai shook his head in disapproval: "No, maybe there is no suffering and pain at all?"

He rarely disagrees with Yu Qian.

Yu Qian glanced at him curiously: "How do you say that?"

"Suffering and pain may not exist," he said.

Yu Qian raised his eyebrows: "Idealism?"

Bai shook his head again: "No, they didn't exist originally. Human beings produced them, or created them."

"You want to say that this is the same as Adam and Eve who stole apples in the Garden of Eden?" she said. "Originally, the world and mankind are just a piece of white paper, but human thinking dyes this white paper with colorful colors."

Yu Qian touched his chin: "You are right, the source of human suffering is not God, but human beings themselves. Human subjective consciousness takes self as the main body, and all the imaginations about gods that are born are actually based on human beings' own cognition. Limited illusions, these are all illusory assumptions, people cannot imagine things they have not seen before.”
