Chapter 598 The Way to Balance
But for a moment, the words in front of them flowed on the ground like water. The three of them still stayed in this storage room, and an ancient sheepskin book fell to their feet.
Aken picked up the sheepskin book and opened it. There was no word in it. However, in a moment, several Chinese characters appeared on the page of the book, "Don't move! It will be transmitted immediately!"
Everyone did not dare to move. They saw the fluorescent words rotate again and wrap the three people. This time was very short, but only for a moment, the three people's eyes lit up and they had changed places.
Akan's sheepskin book showed a line of words: " put me away, the monks of the Holy See will be back soon. Don't let them find out that I did it!" Hurry up and get up the business!"
Aken smiled, "Don't worry..."
Two words appeared in the book: "Goodbye!"
............
Zhang Fan and the three quickly walked to the shrine where the sacred object was located. As soon as they bowed their heads to worship, they were led by the sacred object and shuttled through time and space. He experienced the crucifixion of Jesus, and then the Jews put on him a thorned headdress, carried the cross and walked through the road of suffering, and then died on a piece of marble, wrapped in a piece of linen...
This millennium of time and space travel is just a moment. When the soul returned to the real world, Zhang Fan immediately took out the prepared camera and took photos of the three sacred objects.
The monks of the Franciscans came very quickly. As soon as they finished taking pictures of the three sacred objects, the two gray-clad monks arrived. However, when Zhang Fan showed the identity card of the heretical court held by the 'Dominion' monk and claimed to have come out of the 'desperate prison', the two monks did not say much, which seems that this may be a common thing. Then he took Zhang Fan out of the 'Confidential Archives' one after another.
Out of the basement of St. Peter's Cathedral, Aken found the relevant monk at Eisen's residence, left a message for the Templar, and flew away from the Vatican. They, who took the book demons in the 'secret archive', really dared not stay in the Vatican. If the prophecy of any great monk is calculated, there is no place to run.
The three of them visited Rome, the capital of Italy. The Senate, the Pantheon and the Roman Colosseum are naturally a must-see. Other scenic spots are also visited one by one. The scenery of the streets and cities here is very different from that of the spiritual world, and the directions are even more chaotic. In the image of the three people, they are used to Rome in the 'desperate prison' and make some jokes.
This Roman city was known as the 'City of Seven Mountains' in ancient times. Since the 'Piping offered soil' in the Middle Ages, its city and the surrounding area have been the territory of the Papal States. The Vatican has been officially recognized as a city country since the Italian Mussolini government signed the Treaty of Latran with the Holy See on February 11, 1929.
"The seven mountains in Rome correspond to the seven angels in the Catholic legend and the seven deadly sins. Maybe they both guard the Holy See and suppress evil!" Zhang Fan stood at the top of Doria Panphili Villa on Janicolo Mountain outside the gate of St. Pontius in the ancient Roman city wall, overlooking the whole city of Rome and sighed.
After three days of visiting, Zhang Fan received a phone call from Eisen. It sounded that the fat girl was still in a low mood. It seemed that this time she lost a powerful partner and her vitality was greatly damaged. Eisen let them play by themselves, and they will no longer accompany them. Naturally, the three of them were eager to kill other people's brothers and let the bitter master accompany them, which was too embarrassing.
After playing for the past few days, he has seen Rome all over. Akan also deliberately ignored the sheepskin monster and thought about how to subdue him. During his stay in Rome, Acon found a square pigeon monster in a large square. After communicating with the Italian I have learned in English for a long time, I asked where the centralized office of the Roman spiritual ability is.
However, to Aaken's disappointment, in Rome, or throughout Europe, the jurisdiction of psychics is still the Holy See. Instead of being under the jurisdiction of local gods such as the land gods sent by the heavenly court, as in China. This is probably related to the concentration of religious beliefs of the people here.
The religious beliefs in China are more diverse, and there may be slightly more Buddhists. However, Buddhist monks, who have great practices, basically don't care about world affairs, so it is unrealistic to let monks deal with these affairs. Speaking of which, as the land lord of blessing, he should be regarded as one of the gods of local Chinese religious Taoism and the representative of the secularization of this religion.
This is a small church in the center of Rome, which is very inconspicuous, but it is under the centralized jurisdiction of psychics in the city where the Holy See is located. Through a black marble wall that can show people's shadows, he entered one of the best concentration of spiritual powers in Europe.
All kinds of monsters here really have some European style. Unexpectedly, there are elves, goblins, strange creatures hidden in the city, and most of them are some elves, who often come to report some supernatural trivia such as the presence of evil spirits. The master here is an angel, but it is not the kind that flies around with wings. It usually looks no different from ordinary monks, but when praying, the holy light is shining, which is very dazzling.
In this place, human spiritual people naturally come and go frequently, but Catholic monks come relatively less, which is similar to that in China. The monks of the four major religions have their own sources of information and rarely intervene in these secular trifles. It's not that there are some big events in the supernatural world, and it rarely happens.
In the hall here, there are also terminals with the same mission release network as China C City. The interface is in Italian, which is dazzling to Akan. Fortunately, he explored and found the automatic translation interface, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"Hey, there is indeed this task!" Aken smiled and pointed to his two companions, "The A-level mission issued by the 'Zion Monastery' practice group to find a senior monk who has been missing for many years, find the whereabouts of the monk, and bring back people or corpses and related tokens. Provide corresponding clues, and you can also get at least a C-level reward... For related matters, please contact Brother Ansania of Shanshan Monastery in Mount Ashan District..."
Zhang Fan nodded, "It seems that the so-called A-level task is related to the practitioner level, and the tasks related to the life and death of the great practice are all A-level. No wonder the wolf demon is so weak and can meet the standard of A-level tasks. This guy is a great monk who has hidden from a practicing family, so the task release system can only be an A-level task by default. Even if this great monk stabbed a needle to death, the cause of his death would be an A-level mission.
Aken was going to take on this task. After thinking about it, he still gave up. This is the territory of the 'Dominion' Inquis Court, which is not close to the 'Zion'. There are a lot of Templar knights to let them know that it is the three of them who have mastered the relics of the 'Zion of Zion'. I don't know what there is. It's troublesome. Moreover, the place where the 'Zion Priory' died was so embarrassing.
"Leave Italy first and contact the great monk Ansania of the 'Zion Priory'. I still trust this practice group, and the reputation of the Inquisition is not very good in history. In case they catch any handle, they really want to be upset. Aken made up his mind and talked to Zhang Fan and Green Wing. The two also agreed.
France's mountaineering area is a forest platform bordering Belgium, covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers, including part of Belgium and Luxembourg. It is sparsely populated and beautiful. Famous for the "Battle of Ardennes" during World War II, the "Brother Company" of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army became famous in this war!
But the three of them visited the phone for a day in the province of Ardens, France, and no one heard of the Shan Monastery. Then he transferred to Belgium and still got nothing.
"Maybe only through the task release system can we find this secret practice group." Aken was a little frustrated and sighed in a hotel** in a small town in the mountaine district of Belgium.
"Then let's go back and ask the landlord to inform the other party to come. In City C, we need to be much safer. Zhang Fan proposed. In a few days, it will be time to enter the world of ringers. Although it doesn't matter where you are and it won't affect your entry, you still feel more secure when you return home.
"It's okay to ask my brother to help me see what the Vatican has harvested this time." Aken nodded, "The leave from the school is too long. My precious tutor is probably going to split me this time!"
Zhang Fan suddenly touched his forehead and seemed to feel that he had ignored one thing. After thinking about it for a long time, he said, " By the way, you let the book demon out to breathe. He has read a lot of books. He may know some clues about this 'Zion's Yinshan Monastery."
Aken hesitated for a long time. He felt that it was better to let him out of the insurance when he arrived at Maoshan. The old guy always had a feeling that he couldn't say. There seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Zhang Fan advised: "Don't covet other people's property, which is a taboo for our practitioners. Don't you just want to control this book demon in your hands and serve us? It's better to get its consent to see what he needs. Practice is a balance. Just like the necromancer Oliver, whose ability is so powerful, he still follows the principle of equal exchange. As long as he has spiritual knowledge and can take the initiative to think, he will not snatch it.
Since Oliver, the necromancer, has traveled through time and space, what he has done to the ancient Roman arena has made Zhang Fan understand that his benevolence was unwilling to grab it at will in the world of the precepters in the past, and the world of the precepts does not seem to support evil deeds, and has a deeper understanding. It turns out that all this is for balance!
If you wantonly plunder the existence of life that already has spiritual knowledge, then you will suffer hatred, and hatred will have cause and effect, which will eventually affect your own practice! This is the reason why real practitioners are unwilling to deprive them of their spiritual knowledge at will. Even if they are weaker than you, their obsessions are as strong as karma. Karma and cause and cause are unwilling to be contaminated by any orthodox practitioner!
