Nightmare Light

Chapter 161: God's Day

Not far from the main entrance of the temple hall, the morning light softly shines into the temple, and the entire huge stone building is filled with light, holy and solemn.

In the temple, Lin Wang and Bai Mao were controlling the young priest on the left and right. The latter looked terrified and a little indignant.

"Mother, anyone who sees a group like you would definitely be terrified!"

"If I hadn't been so devoted to my mother, how could I have made such a heroic and righteous retreat!"

"Mother and the Bishop will surely praise my heroic act... Wait, Mr. Lin Wang, why does this statue you're carrying look familiar to me?"

"Well, I picked it up at the door." Lin Wang was a little embarrassed. He took the warrior statue off his shoulder and placed it not far away from him.

The statue was not stable, and it shook a few times before falling to the ground with a bang, and the helmet was thrown far away.

Lin Wang hurriedly lifted up the statue and let it lean against a pillar, only then did he stabilize it.

At first glance, it looks like the temple warriors are going to fight to the death with the temple's stone pillars.

Lin Wang's face trembled, and he forced himself to change the subject: "Well, I want to ask, why is there no one in the temple today?"

"Mother, I will doubly punish the insults this northerner inflicted upon me..."

"Alright, alright." Lin Wang interrupted the young priest. "I wanted to ask, why are you the only one in the temple?"

The young priest retracted his indignant expression, glanced at Lin Wang, and asked curiously, "Today is the first day of the God's Enlightenment Festival, didn't you know? Oh, yes... You are from the North, it's normal that you don't know about the Candle Clan's festival... No, people from the North should also celebrate the God's Enlightenment Festival, right? After all, you have many lay teachers..."

Lin Wang was just about to thank the other party for being a northerner when he was stunned by the other party's question.

He could only answer vaguely: "The way we live there is a little different from Tangsheng City, a little different..."

The young priest wasn't familiar with Lin Wang, so he didn't dwell on his words. He patted his robe a few times and stood up. "The God's Enlightenment Festival is one of the most important festivals in the Federation for lay masters."

"Because on this day, Mother will bestow blessings. Secular masters enveloped by Mother's blessings will gain supreme enlightenment, which will be of great help to their own path of cultivation... and can greatly prevent themselves from going insane due to overusing secular power."

"So, on this day, all lay teachers across the country will rush to the temple in the nearest city... to receive Mother's blessing."

Lin Wang interrupted him: "Wait, you said all the lay masters would come, why is there no one in the temple?"

The young priest looked at Lin Wang with sympathy: "This is Tangsheng City. Do you know how many lay masters will come? The square in front of the Grand Temple, even if it were expanded tenfold, wouldn't be able to accommodate so many lay masters!"

Lin Wang suddenly realized: "So, they went to another place?"

"The temple is outside Tangsheng City. A large temple square has been specially prepared. The temple will be there for the inauguration ceremony."

The young priest said, standing up and saying, "If you had come a few minutes later, I would have left too."

He hurried out, patting his clothes hard and muttering angrily, "Really? I'm the only child in the Li family! Why do I have to bear so much pressure? You almost scared me to death just now! If I had known, I should have gone to sell shoes in front of the school... Why are you following me?"

Lin Wang and Bai Mao followed this secular master on his left and right.

Lin Wang grinned at him, showing a smile that was as gentle and harmless as possible.

But in the eyes of the young priest, this smile was as terrifying as the devil's smile.

Lin Wang asked, "How are you going?"

The lay master swallowed and said, "...The temple has a car, I'll drive there."

"Well, take us with you."

"what?"

The young priest was almost in tears. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing. Normally, people were always full of awe and very polite when they saw the priests.

Where has he ever seen anything like this?
Not only was he rude to him, he even broke a statue in the temple!
Now, I even have to take a ride with him!
Who is this!
If this young priest knew that Lin Wang was so rude even when he met their bishop, I wonder what he would think... One hour later.

The young priest drove the car and gradually drove to the southeast suburbs of Tangsheng City, and then drove towards the plains outside the city.

As they gradually moved away from Tangsheng City, the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased in Lin Wang's field of vision.

Vehicles of all kinds gathered into a traffic flow, which even made Lin Wang feel at one point as if he had returned to the morning and evening rush hours before he traveled through time.

The only difference is that when these vehicles see the temple vehicle that Lin Wang is riding in, they will take the initiative to give way to them.

There are even some cheerful car owners who will take the initiative to roll down their windows and wave to them.

"Thanks, Mother! Everyone in this world holds her in the highest reverence. Even we, her children and servants, enjoy this respect..." The young priest said proudly, muttering to himself as he drove. "It's truly great to be a priest. If I had been selling shoes at the school gate, no one would have respected me this much..."

Lin Wang ignored the young priest's mumbling and glanced at the traffic.

There was a huge flow of cars, each with rune marks of different colors painted on it, slowly moving towards a common direction in the distance.

In the distance, on the skyline, one can already see a huge stone building, gleaming in the mist.

Suddenly, Lin Wang felt a slight, needle-like tingling sensation on his skin when his gaze rested on a car in the traffic.

Lin Wang was shocked.

who? !

He could notice my gaze through the temple car... and even use his mental power to warn me?
So strong!

Who could it be?

Lin Wang was thinking rapidly in his mind, and was also a little curious.

But then I thought: After all, almost all the lay masters in the country will come here, so it is normal to have strong people among the crowd.

Thinking of this, Lin Wang felt much relieved.

He withdrew his gaze and began to observe the buildings in the distance.

The buildings in the distance shimmered in the mist.

As the vehicle moved forward, it gradually became clearer in Lin Wang's sight.

Lin Wang's eyes gradually became serious.

After the vehicle moved forward for a while, Lin Wang looked at the building and asked the young priest a question.

"Isn't the temple's assembly square newly built?"

……

At the same time, in front of the temple vehicle, about seven or eight cars away, there was an inconspicuous car.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The driver didn't turn around and glanced at the rearview mirror.

In the rearview mirror, in the back seat of the car, sat a figure wearing a pitch-black robe.

The figure did not speak immediately, but tilted his head slightly and remained silent for a few seconds.

Afterwards, he shook his head: "Nothing, just an ant with some strength."
