Chapter 482 The Mystery of Evil Deeds Thousands of Miles Spread ([-])

The towering city walls, the closed city gates, and the erected suspension bridges.On the top of the city, banners were unfurled, crowds were crowded, and there were hundreds of times more guards than usual, as if a war was coming.

The young man is the bodyguard of the Virgin Helia, Copper Coin, a name he doesn't like very much.

The journey was full of wind and dust, and the people and horses were already extremely sleepy.Day and night from the Han and Tang Empires, dozens of horses were changed at the half-way post, but they still did not rush back to Talian Lido before the Qingmiao Festival.

With the ability of copper coins, he crossed the city wall and sneaked into the city without a sound. Even if there were ten times more sentries on the city wall, he would never be able to find him.

However, his beliefs did not allow this. To put it more bluntly, his temperament was destined to prevent such thoughts from appearing in his mind.

Tong Coin sighed softly, his young face full of stubbornness.Walking to the edge of the moat, I adjusted my appearance according to the river water. A faint holy light flowed on my body, and my clothes and skin were all spotless.Wearing golden shining armor, with the holy sword "Patience" across his waist, he is unparalleled in handsomeness and transcends the world.

Then he just waited, standing upright like a javelin, waiting for the city gate to open.

The saint Helia is extremely powerful, and later generations commented that she is the strongest saint in the history of the temple, but he, the guard of the saint, is extremely embarrassing.

Generally speaking, after the Holy Maiden ascends the throne, she will be granted the inheritance secret method to open the Ark of the Covenant.Even so, not every holy woman can use the Ark of the Covenant, and only a very small number of them can be approved by the Ark of the Covenant if they are favored by God.

The Holy Maiden didn't use the Ark casually. She had to go through fasting, prayer, and complicated rituals before the Ark could be opened.

Only Saint Helia broke this rule and could use the power of the Ark at any time. Not only that, but her own level of divine arts had reached an extremely high level.She also possesses all sorts of powers that do not belong to divine arts, and she is simply unpredictable, so she no longer needs guards by her side.

Moreover, Xilia has never been willing to stay in the temple peacefully, and likes to wander around with silver coins, go deep into various ancient sites, and carry out various adventures, which is completely contrary to the temperament of copper coins.

The root cause of the conflict between copper coins and Xilia is the controversy over the identity of the saint.In fact, Helia was not the saintess designated by the temple, nor was she even one of the candidates. She was just a priestess with outstanding talents, and she was extremely accomplished in the cultivation of divine arts, and she could be called a peerless genius.

No one knew why, Helia was able to summon the Ark of the Covenant suddenly, and without any inheritance.Regarding this point, even the current pope couldn't tell the reason, and he was extremely reluctant to grant the position of Saint Helia.

Although she has the halo of a saint, Xilia still goes her own way, lingering in mountains and rivers and historical sites, willing to visit the relics of her predecessors, and not sticking to the life of penance in the temple.

In the hearts of fanatic believers, the saint should be like a lady, living in the temple, and never stepping outside the gate.In fact, the previous saints did the same.

As a result, the conflict between the two escalated. The saint Helia went her own way, and the unicorn silver coin sneered and sarcastic, and finally made the copper coin go far away from Han and Tang Dynasties in a rage to seek the ultimate martial arts.

In recent years, Xilia's temperament has become somewhat restrained, at least on the surface, she already looks like a respectable saint.

But the estrangement between the copper coin and the saint has never been fruitful. The sharp teeth of the unicorn silver coin actually represent the attitude of the saint, and they are constantly quarreling with the copper coin.

In the afternoon, after Emperor Ziri Yiman's speech had "successfully" ended and he had safely returned to the palace, the suspension bridge was slowly raised.The gates of the city were opened, and the normal order of life in Talian Lido City was restored.

Of course, the young crop sacrifice is not over yet, but almost all the protagonists have left early, including the saint Helia.The rest of the scene were the dignitaries who wanted to make friends with each other, and the common people who came to watch the excitement.

In the evening, when the night is about to fall, priests of various cults will appear on the stage.They will show all kinds of magic and attract believers until dawn.

Iman expressed great interest in this. After he sent the saint Helia back to the "haunted house", he still kept the appearance of the guard's copper coins, but changed into a set of ordinary people's clothes.I came back deliberately, waiting to watch these shady sorcerers.

Maybe they can find clues to the god of supernatural powers, Yiman thinks so.

At the same time, copper coins also rushed to the Qingmiao sacrifice site.According to the normal procedure, he should rush to the residence of the Virgin Helia and inquire about today's situation.But when he thought of the fork with the big mouth of the unicorn silver coin, he felt a chill in his heart, and would rather disobey the rules and regulations of the temple than face the merciless cynicism of the silver coin.

Maybe the saintess tried another way to cover up the past, and she accidentally understood how much power the copper coin had over Helia.

On the square of the Long Live Temple, colorful platforms were set up one after another, and the cultists showed their most glorious side, attracting nobles and ignorant people who came to enjoy it.

Copper Coin stepped into the square, looked from a distance, and saw that the seat of Saint Helia was empty, and couldn't help but put down a stone in his heart, but complained a little about the early departure of the Saint.

In a nearby colorful shed, four children locked in a cage were crying loudly, which aroused Tongbi's compassion.These children are about five or six years old, just when they understand the truth, they know in their hearts that the bonfire burning in front of the colorful stage is the destination for tonight.

Fire magic, a common magic in the Iberian dynasty, most cults have similar rituals.In this era, alchemy is still in its infancy, and the birth of children is not controlled.Under heavy taxes, he was unable to raise many children, so the art of passing fire prevailed.

This inhumane and inhumane sorcery requires raising the children to be sensible, burning them on fire, and offering sacrifices to the Abyss Demon God, so that the parents of the children can live a long and healthy life.

The cruelest thing about this kind of magic is that children must clearly know their own destiny, so that the effect can be achieved best.

The scriptures say: "Let none of you put your son or daughter through fire...".It can be seen that God has long anticipated the fall of the Purple Eyes. As a fanatic of the temple, Tongbi hates this kind of sorcery.

He strode to the colorful shed, and there were two people kneeling inside, a man and a woman, who looked like husband and wife, with oil paint on their faces, worshiping the wood carving of the evil god they believed in.

Copper coin righteousness said awe-inspiringly: "These are your own children, you just have the heart to burn them? Don't you feel bad at all?"

The women among them stood up, glanced at the copper coins, snorted and said, "Look at your little brother's shiny and golden clothes, I don't know how hard it is for us poor families to raise a child. Rather than starve to death, it's better to offer the money." Sacrifice, let him fall into the arms of the Abyss Demon God."

Tong Coin gritted his teeth and said: "The family is poor and can't afford to raise children. It's not impossible. The temple has issued an order a long time ago to unconditionally adopt children from poor families, whether they are sick, weak, or disabled. Don't you Have you heard of it?"

The kneeling man listened, stood up, and with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, he smiled obscenely: "Who am I? With such a big tone, it turns out to be the guard of the saint. This is the territory of the evil fire sect." , it's not your turn to meddle in your own business."

The copper coins raised their eyebrows, but there was nothing they could do.The policy of the temple in this era is moderate, mainly focusing on persuasion and redemption, advocating coexistence with various sects, and freedom of belief for the people.

There was no way, Tong Coin flicked his sleeves, intending to turn around and leave, but an accident happened, and I don't know if the canopy of the Evil Fire Demon Cult was not strong enough, and half of it collapsed suddenly.

"Okay, you dare to knock down our sacrificial hall." The sharp-mouthed monkey pointed at the copper coin and cursed: "Our evil fire sect is not close to your temple. Who ordered you to act so boldly?"

Tong Coin was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out why the colorful shed collapsed.

"This brother, this color shed, why did this color shed collapse? This, this." Feeling wronged in his heart, he suddenly stuttered.

The woman put her hands on her hips, and put on a look of a shrew cursing the street: "Yes, this sacrificial shed is obviously fine, but it collapsed when you came here. Everyone judges, what's going on."

The cult sects in several nearby sheds vented their breath from the same nostril as the cult of the cult, and they all came together at once.

"I can see very clearly that he pushed it down." A tall and thin man shouted, in front of his tent, there was a string of heads hanging.

"Where, this little brother didn't do it on purpose, I saw it very clearly, I just accidentally tripped over the rope." The woman with an evil spirit all over her body cast winking eyes at the copper coin.

"I think it's okay for Zhu Jiaxian and his wife, the temple is powerful, we can't afford to offend them." This tone was not persuading a fight, it was obviously a quarrel.

"Emperor Yiman said that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I think the people in the temple are no exception. They must pay some compensation anyway." It's a full-on aggressive method.

Everyone was chattering, the copper coins were speechless, and they bowed their heads and said: "I will pay."
