The white stone brick house on the other side of the river turned out to be a chapel.Hao Ren came to the door of the white building with the kettle, and saw the familiar Leta rune and a coat of arms composed of circles, triangles, and lightning bolts on the closed door, the latter being the symbol of the Radiant Sect in this world, he had learned about this mark when he heard Vivien introduce the situation of the Radiant Sect, and knew the meaning of each part of it: the circle represented the Church's interpretation of this world, that is, everything was both complete and chaotic, forming a world in reincarnation, and the triangle represented the authority of the goddess, which was located inside the circle, The three vertices support and determine the shape of the circle, which means that the power of the goddess determines the rules of the world, and the lightning in the center of the pattern is the church, and its top is one of the vertices of the triangle, which means that the authority of the church comes from the blessing of one-third of the power of God.It's an interesting sect that has precisely defined its terms of reference, i.e., "one-third of the theocracy", and Hao Ren remembers this very clearly for the first time when he has heard of a sect whose clergy would specifically state that they can only represent one-third of the gods.If he hadn't seen the mark at the door, Hao Ren really wouldn't have been able to associate the small house with the church: it was too small, and it wasn't the kind of characteristic spire building, and there were no ornate stained glass windows and religious decorations to be seen outside, and it seemed that the church in the country village really couldn't compare with the one in the town, which should be an affordable church.The light that shot at the river just now had disappeared, and the chapel was dark, but Hao Ren remembered that the light came from the round hole above the main entrance of the church, and he asked the data terminal to float up and take a look, confirming that the small round hole was a decorative hole in the wall, which could lead directly to the interior of the church, and there were no lamps installed in it.When that light appeared, the church seemed to be bright for a while, but it was only because the door was closed and the main window was on the side that Hao Ren did not notice anything unusual in the church from the direction of the river.Hao Ren put his hand on the door of the church, and when he pushed it lightly, he found that it was really not moving, and he frowned: "The door is locked." ”"Want to go inside?"
The data terminal floated next to Hao Ren.Seems to be interested as well.Because it has to do business now, it has not played with the little mermaid for the time being, and Doudou is honestly curled up at the bottom of the pot at this time to rest: the frightening scene in the river just now made Xiao Budian a little frightened, and she should be quite quiet in a short time.Anyway, I think of the scene where this little guy used his milk strength to flutter in place in the torrent.Hao Ren really still wants to laugh!"
You go in and make a mark, and then teleport me over."
Hao Ren came up with a good idea: high-tech things should really be used flexibly, the calibration transmission function of the data terminal is really a sneaking miracle when it is used, no matter how tightly defended the place, but where there is a gap bigger than a mouse hole, Hao Ren can "sneak" in!
The data terminal is not nonsense either.From the round hole above the main entrance of the chapel, he floated in, and after a few moments, Hao Ren was sent into the church, without making the slightest noise or destroying the door.The church was empty, with a solemn dark red carpet in the empty rectangular room, and there was no such thing as chairs: the churches of the Radiant Cult did not have pews for the faithful to rest and listen to lectures like the churches on earth, because the sect preached the "atonement of mankind", so even the pope could not enjoy a seat in the church.The tall pulpit not far ahead, was the only furnishing in the room.Hao Ren came to the pulpit, raised his legs and walked through the four steps step by step, he had already noticed that the number "four" seemed to have a special meaning in this world, and the kingdom of Holletta had four sanctuaries and four ruins.What does it mean that the Orb of the Templar will spend four days on the Lake of Blood, and the steps in front of the church's pulpit are now exactly four steps?
He had not yet heard of any religious explanations associated with it.On the pulpit there was a large black book that looked rather heavy, and the deep black of the cover seemed to be mixed with a little imperceptible dark red.He opened the chapter on the exploits of the goddess, which stated in a grammatically obscure way what seemed to him an empty and uninteresting story: "......
When the heavens and the earth were first opened, He slept between the heavens and the earth, with and without spirits, and the Supreme Being.Mortals can't decipher ......
He is the first water, the first sea, the first source, the first storm and thunder.The place where life is born and promised......
Because she is the mother of all kinds of life, she is regarded as a goddess......
He incarnates tens of thousands, exists among the stars, sculpts the world, and sows billions of mortals like dust ants, which is His authority and mercy......
"Half-understood. ”Hao Ren watched it for a long time and felt that he couldn't grasp the point.So he turned to the back of the Bible, and this time it was the chapter of the goddess's destruction: "......
When mortals went astray in their quest for the truth, faced God's warnings without repentance, and the foolish kings of the ancient werewolves, bloods, elves, and humans, who wanted to seize the Sea of Origin as their own backyard, the gods became angry and said, 'It is a great mistake to make you spiritual, and it must be corrected,' and burned the old world.But there were wise men of all tribes who bowed down and worshipped......
And so all things were left to breathe. ”Hao Ren watched it for a long time and felt even more incomprehensible.However, after a few clicks, he came to the conclusion that although the Radiant Cult revered a definite deity, their teachings never seemed to mention the image of that deity.The passages in this sacred book that refer to the goddess are all vague sentences such as "the place of origin" or "the first XX" to describe the god, and never clearly or vaguely indicate what the god looked like in other belief systems, whether he was winged on his back or eight feet tall, whether he was full of holy light or majestic manners, none of the above elements are at all covered in this religious reading, and the goddess seems to have no substance, not even a vague and abstract image description, This gives the impression that the Radiance Sect is worshipping a symbolic thing.Although He was called a "goddess," what Hao Ren saw in the sacred scriptures seemed to be a natural phenomenon.They are worshipping some "phenomenon that created everything in the world" itself."
Their opinion of the gods is quite interesting," Hao Ren couldn't help but think of Raven 12345, and then shook his head vigorously, "There is no comparison at all. ”"Where did that light come from?"
Putting down the holy scriptures, Hao Ren looked curiously around the empty chapel, which was everywhere at a glance, but found nothing that could be called a light source.He turned around and looked at the mural behind the pulpit, it stands to reason that this position of the church should be placed with gods or other religious symbols, but what the Radiant Sect placed behind the pulpit, was a strange picture composed of distorted black shadows, red mist, and light, and I don't know if other churches are the same, anyway, Hao Ren felt that this small church was quite strange.After searching everywhere for a long time, he still found nothing, remembering that the others were still waiting for him at the village chief's house, Hao Ren could only give up his exploration here and hurriedly returned to the village of the mountain people.The chapel was once again dark, and only the dim light of the twin moons shone obliquely through the stained-glass windows, and a moonlight fell impartially on the strange frescoes behind the pulpit, and the twisted and grotesque blacks and reds of the frescoes continued to slowly surge at an almost imperceptible speed under the moonlight.Between the bands of black and red, the bright hues of light are a little dimmer than before.As soon as Hao Ren returned to the house, Vivian greeted her: "Where have you been and haven't come back for so long......
Uh, what's the matter with your pants?
”Before he could explain, Lily jumped over: "Ah!
Landlord, are you having a urine breakdown?
”Hao Ren's words made the husky disappear at once, and for the first time, he couldn't help but rush up and pinch Lily's ears and pull them to both sides: "You can't talk past your brain!"
You can't go through the brain!!
”Lily jumped up and down in pain, and shouted miserably: "Eh, yes, yes, it hurts......
I was wrong, I was wrong......
I forgot that people shouldn't be able to pee so much all day......"
Hao Ren: "......"
He casually threw the incorrigible husky aside: "I went to the river to wash my hands just now, and I accidentally slipped my foot."
Is that a chapel on the other side of the river?
”He casually mentioned the church on the other side of the river, but he did not say anything about the church or how he had gone in to investigate."
Oh, it was built with the help of Mr.
Rembel's priest," the village chief did not doubt him, "hehe, the mountain people believe in the spirits of the mountains and forests, but they do not contradict the Radiant Sect.The pastor would come to the church every full moon to preach and help the villagers see a doctor, but usually the church was closed.Are you a believer?
If I want to go in and pray, I have the key here, but I have to do it tomorrow. ”There are two bright moons shining in the sky over this land, the larger moon is called the "main moon", and there are also commonly known as the big moon or the big moon, and the smaller moon is called the "second month", the cycle of the second month is seventeen days, which is exactly half of the cycle of the main moon, and many religious activities of the Huiyao sect are linked to the cycle of the main month and the second month, and the full moon of the next month is one of the more meaningful days."
Well, no, I just asked, I didn't expect there to be a church here."
Hao Ren smiled and waved his hand, not showing any abnormal expression at all."
Ha-ah-I'm sleepy," Becky yawned exaggeratedly at this time, "the village chief has arranged for us to rest in the two rooms next to it, and the girls can squeeze in, you two old men can touch the light of few people." ”Hao Ren thought about it, and felt that the Radiance Sect couldn't run away in this world anyway, and there were many opportunities to explore the mysteries of this world's myths, so he put this matter aside for the time being, found his own room under Betsy's guidance, and recuperated himself to continue his journey tomorrow.
