Chapter 1120 Questions and Answers
Without going through many complicated procedures, Fan Jiannan, Feng Yuan and others entered the smallest country in the world - the Vatican.Walking among the mottled historical buildings, it also seems to travel through time and space, to a remote place isolated from the world.

According to common sense, the religious "city-state" of the Vatican is impossible to exist at all: its area is only 0 square kilometers, surrounded by three walls, leaving only a small door for easy access; the whole country is completely surrounded by Italy, there are no mines, no industry. Agriculture and basic supplies of life are all supplied by Italy. It does not have a strong army, and only a few Praetorians guard the small gate of the country...

However, here is actually an independent country: it has its own national postal and telecommunication systems; it has an international information agency and a radio station, which broadcasts to the world in 24 languages ​​​​36 hours a day; More than 100 countries and regions have stationed "ambassadors" and "ministers".The institutions of the Vatican are unique: a post office, a radio station, an airport, a hospital.Moreover, in this "Peach Blossom Land", there is a unique Vatican library.

Today's Vatican Library building was renovated in 1984.Facing west, the door of the museum is very narrow, and the whole building looks very inconspicuous.But the two wooden doors are full of books, and each door is engraved with three sets of reliefs of Roman mythology, with Latin inscriptions.The one on the left is engraved with: philosophy, literature, music; the one on the right is engraved with: art, natural science, astronomy.

Everything in the Vatican Library will make people feel like returning to the Middle Ages, returning to the atmosphere of the dichotomy between the European royal family and the Pope.The era when theocracy ruled the western world.So there are a lot of rules here.The library retains the medieval wooden shelf for reading. When reading, the manuscript must be placed on the special wooden shelf, and fingers cannot stay on the surface of the manuscript.Even if you take notes in your own notebook, you can only use pencils. Pens and ballpoint pens are not allowed to be brought into the library; you must not hold a pen in your hand when turning pages.The requirements are very strict.The administrators here will patrol continuously.

The procedures to enter this large library are even more cumbersome than entering this country.With the three special cards, Fan Jiannan and others obtained a reading card and "Instructions for Admission" after going through the cumbersome borrowing procedures.

And the "Instructions for Admission" reads: "No matter before or after entering the library, the library has absolute freedom to select readers", "Readers must follow the instructions of the library staff, and there is no room for discussion", otherwise they will be banned for life. Entering the library again is like a kind of domineering theocracy.

Because of showing those three cards, Fan Jiannan, Feng Yuan and others were allowed to enter the interior of the library.An elderly librarian seemed to be waiting for them, after perusing the three cards they had brought.The librarian nodded and motioned for them to follow him to the interior.

The strange thing is that the librarian didn't take them into the library or reading room, but directly took them out of the reading room and walked down half a floor. There was a small door on the left, leading to the library compound.The yard is rectangular, without exotic flowers and plants, and the trees are not very tall. It is just an ordinary flower bed and lawn, which is very suitable for the elegant environment of the library.Surrounded by buildings, the building is old and damaged, and the walls are peeling off in many places.Looking to the west side, behind the high wall, the half dome of St. Peter's Basilica, the symbol of the Vatican, is exposed.

Fan Jiannan frowned and asked Feng Yuan in a low voice, "Can you ask him, where is he taking us?"

Feng Yuan asked the librarian in a low voice in English, but the librarian didn't say anything, just walked forward.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan were both helpless for a while, while Linghu Yun couldn't bear to speak for a long time.Feng Yuan stopped her in time, making loud noises in this place, but she would be kicked out.

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard, and the prophet was sitting on a very inconspicuous place.He looked sicker, sitting in a wheelchair, horribly pale.

The librarian walked up to him and saluted respectfully.The Prophet smiled and raised his ringed hand to him.The librarian kissed the ring on his finger and stepped back, standing respectfully behind the Prophet.Everything is natural, it seems to be a custom, or perhaps some kind of religious etiquette.

The prophet turned his head to look at them and smiled slightly, "Welcome, my friends. I think you should have brought me good news."

"Good news? Why don't you ask about Zhao Pingyuan's situation?" Fan Jiannan shrugged.

"The courier is safe." The Prophet said indifferently, "As long as I am still alive, he is safe. What I want to know now is, have you got those two badges?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Stop pretending, Prophet. Don't you know whether we got the badge? You are a Prophet."

The Prophet smiled wearily, "The Prophet is not omniscient. There are always things that I have not foreseen."

Fan Jiannan nodded, "The badge is already in my hand, but you know I won't give it to you easily. You know, we have conditions. To get those two badges, you have to tell us something."

The Prophet sighed and waved his hand lightly, and the librarian immediately nodded and left.

The Prophet said calmly, "In a few minutes, this library will be completely closed. In the name of closing the library for repairing books, everyone will be driven out except us. We can indeed talk in detail. All your I will tell you any doubts. However, you must promise me that you will leave these two badges to me."

Fan Jiannan nodded, "These two badges may be very important to you, but they are of no use to me. If you can really give me valuable information, I am of course willing to give it to you."

The librarian returned a few minutes later, leaning over and whispering something in the Prophet's ear.The Prophet nodded, turned to Fan Jiannan and said, "Please follow us."

The librarian pushed the prophet's wheelchair along the courtyard of the library to the Vatican's library.The books here are not open to the public for borrowing, and even high-ranking clergy are not eligible to enter here.Because the precious books here are regarded as God's collection.

The Prophet waved his hand and asked the administrator to leave, and then said to Fan Jiannan, "Whatever you want to know, you can ask me now."

Fan Jiannan said calmly, "The truth about the Tianshu incident, as well as the shamanism and the secret of longevity, all these things that happened around me seem to have some kind of special connection, but I can't find the law. But I'm sure you know something."

The Prophet nodded slowly, "Yes. The number of days has always been a legend, and the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter has pursued this legend for many years, until the number of days was opened by you. As you can see, I am not a magician , My predictive ability is just some kind of inherent talent. When I was a child, because of this unique perception talent, I was discovered by the brotherhood and deliberately cultivated. So I was fortunate to come into contact with many secrets that outsiders do not know. "

"Then what exactly is the number of days, and how did it come about?" Feng Yuan couldn't help but ask.

The prophet was silent for a while and said, "You are magicians, you should know that there is a theory in metaphysics, which is the cycle of heaven and earth. It is what the ancients called the cycle of heaven and earth. Time is always passing, and the way of counting is the dry branch, every 60 years Complete a circle. It is called a Jiazi in China."

"Yes. So what? What does this have to do with the number of days?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"I just want to say that there are many similar cycles. The same is true for the number of days. This is a special cycle node after many years. Moreover, the number of days you have experienced is not the first time, nor will it be the last Once. In fact, the number of days just refers to a special time node, and what happens at this time node will affect the next cycle." The prophet looked at them and said, "This is the so-called trigger. And the number of days this time, The trigger is you, Fan Jiannan."

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while and said, "Then what does this have to do with the Brotherhood of Shengzhang?"

"Our fraternity has been paying attention to this special time node, because we believe that the trigger of the number of days this time will lead to the next cycle. It is an extremely unusual era for the world of magicians, and it is also true. The current situation of the entire world Magic power is in a period of decline, and the trigger of the number of days has exacerbated this decline. Regarding this point, the brotherhood will have two different understandings. Some people think that this is a natural law that cannot be violated; Opportunity, an opportunity to be broken and then built." The Prophet said lightly.

"Zhang Jian is the group of people who advocate breaking before building?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Not only Zhang Jian, but also members of the Yishu Council." The Prophet sighed, "The other two principals hold different opinions. So you also know their end. Sail against the current, don't enter Then retreat."

"Then what's the matter with Wu Wen and Jiuzhou Ding?" Fan Jiannan thought for a while, "If Zhang Jian has obtained the secret of longevity as you said, what else does he need? So persistent?"

"Because the secret of longevity is not perfect." The prophet said calmly, "at least I think so. Although the three principals have obtained the secret of longevity, what they mastered is not perfect. They are subject to many restrictions. And Zhang Jian Think that if you get all the Malay scripts, it will improve the situation."

"What do you mean by imperfect?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "You mean they will still age?"

"I'm not very clear about this, but the way of heaven damages the excess and makes up for the deficiency. Longevity is a kind of excess. If you want to live forever, you must bear a certain price. And it is extremely high. Although I don't know what it is, but That's how it is." The Prophet sighed.
