Chapter 494 Dealing with the Great Demon Festival

After listening to Iman's narration, the little old man praised God loudly as if he had received an oracle. The tone seemed to be that God guided the future of the temple through Iman's mouth.

However, Iman did not feel disgusted by this. Instead, he got a little bit of comfort. He had the opportunity to talk about the development direction of the temple for thousands of years and influenced the progress of the times. He really didn't dare to take credit for it.

According to the theory of fanatics, everything in the world has God's good intentions, so Iman's ability to come to the world 1000 years ago is also under God's arrangement.

From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with the little old man praising God.

The little old man left with a red face, and even the level of divine arts seemed to have improved.The practice of divine arts has a lot to do with the enlightenment of the mind, and the sudden enlightenment of the mind can greatly enhance the power of divine arts.It is not surprising that the believers in the temple were enlightened overnight and continued to advance.

Looking at the back of the little old man, Iman asked the saint Helia in a low voice: "Who is this old man? I see that his level of divine arts is not low."

Saint Helia nodded with a smile, and said softly: "His name is Clement, one of the twelve cardinals of the Temple, and Cardinal Bismarck are both strong contenders for the next Pope."

"So that's the case." Yiman nodded, and suddenly said: "No wonder I feel extremely pure divine power from him."

Saint Helia said as calmly as ice and snow: "Clement is the representative of the conservatives in the temple. He advocates a moderate policy to treat the Purple Eyes, which is in direct opposition to Cardinal Bismarck's iron-blooded policy, but I'm afraid Before long, he's going to be a reformist."

This is all because of Iman's narration. Feeling lost, Iman looked at the sky in confusion, meditated silently, and said after a while: "Helia, because I have come to this era, I will describe the situation after a thousand years to Ke. The Cardinal of Le Mans caused changes in the future of the temple. But in my time, all these changes have already been realized. If I don’t say it, will the result be the same?”

"No." Saint Helia whispered a word: "If you don't say it, then the river of history will develop in another unknown direction, but the important thing is that you said it."

"I'm telling you all this, but it's actually predestined in history, isn't it? That means everything is under God's control, isn't it?" Iman said dejectedly.

The saint Helia shook her head lightly, and said lightly: "The Savior said, 'I am Alpha and Omega', the words of the Savior are for every believer. Every one of us , is not only the original, but also the future, and it is because of us that the world is so wonderful."

"It is also full of endless mysteries and unpredictability." Saint Helia specially added.

The meeting took place in a slightly smaller room, presided over by two cardinals, Clement and Bismarck.It is also a very interesting thing for a large group of old people with different faces to discuss in a room with white light shining on their bodies.

Some of these names are also well-known in later generations. Iman has seen many portraits of people in the corridor of the Cathedral of All Nations. Now that he has seen real people, it is quite interesting to check the names one by one.

The saint Helia sat on a chair in the corner, she seemed to be a little out of touch, but she was a young girl, sitting with a group of wrinkled old men and old ladies, it was indeed not that harmonious.

Unexpectedly, Iman also had a chair beside the saint. I don't know if this was specially arranged by Cardinal Clement.

Pairs of eyes swept across Yiman's body undisguisedly. It was obvious that these old guys had a high level of magic skills, and they could tell that Yiman was a fake saint's guard.However, as Saint Helia expected, no one revealed it.

An old nun with a wrinkled face looked up and down at Iman, with a very unkind expression on her face.She was the first person present to show obvious disgust towards Iman, and she deliberately moved the chair to the side of the saint Helia, and asked in a low voice: "Helia, is this the one you mentioned?"

Xilia nodded and said softly, "Yes."

The old nun whispered: "Although it was transformed from one of your ribs, it is the bone of your bones and the flesh of your flesh. However, the same-origin creation still has certain flaws. Eve is Adam's rib, and it is also the flesh of your flesh." Not to tempt him to eat the forbidden fruit."

After Yiman listened to it, he almost fell to the ground, but the saint Helia actually made up such a reason to explain the origin of Yiman.

The creation of the same origin, the level of divine magic is unknown, and can only be performed by relying on the power of the ark.Create the opposite sex with a part of himself. It is said that God created Eve from a rib from Adam, using this kind of magic.

The saint Helia secretly winked at Iman, smiled at the old nun and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

The old nun babbled for a long time, just to pay attention to temptation and the like, and almost described Yiman as a heinous devil.Fortunately, at this time, all the people came, and Clement shouted loudly: "Quiet, quiet, now the meeting begins."

Clement is small in stature, but his voice is loud and full of energy: "I called everyone here today to discuss important matters. Everyone knows that the current plague of the Zimu people is getting worse. We got the news that Ziri Yi Emperor Manda wants to gather people infected with the plague together for a great demon sacrifice. What's even more disgusting is that he wants to summon the Purple Eyes in the name of our temple."

Bismarck Cardinal said with a sullen face: "Emperor Ziri Yiman is extremely sinister. Although Lu Huang is dead, someone has taken over this matter now. And many people have been sent to pretend to be missionaries in our temple." Doctors, spreading news everywhere, summoning those infected with the plague with deceitful means of curing diseases. My proposal is to use vigorous methods to catch all these counterfeiters and execute them all in the name of heresy."

"I'm afraid this is not good." A fat old man took over the conversation and said: "Our temple has already stated its attitude that the great plague of the Purple Eyes is a punishment from God, and we have no intention and power to cure it. They pretend to be us and entrap those who are infected with the plague, what have we to do."

This white and fat old man, Yiman had seen his portrait, was a very outstanding alchemist of herbal medicine.He has researched and used herbal medicine to cure some diseases, and it can achieve the same effect as magic.

The only thing Iman is not sure about is who the next pope will be, and the temple doesn't seem to have any record of this.

"No, no, I have a different opinion. The life and death of the Purple Eyes has nothing to do with us." This is an old man with a beard, obviously a hardliner: "But we must pay attention, they are going to perform a big demon sacrifice, and they must Talk directly to the Abyss Demon God, I think the topic of today's discussion should be whether to stop the Great Demon Sacrifice, and how to stop it."

"It is inevitable to stop the Great Demon Festival." Cardinal Bismarck also expressed his opinion. He glanced at his old opponent Clement and said, "The current entanglement is whether we should use force to stop it or use gentle means."

"Bismarck, I don't agree with your point of view. What does the Great Demon Festival of the Purple Eyes have to do with us?" Someone retorted face to face.

"Yes, we don't care how many people die when the Zimu people offer sacrifices." Some people also expressed their support.

"The important thing is that Emperor Ziri Yiman, in the name of the temple, has damaged the reputation of our temple." Some people made different remarks.

You say what you say, and there are those who support it and those who oppose it, and there is no unity. In the end, it is the turn of Cardinal Clement to express his opinion.

The little old man cleared his throat and said: "The Great Demon Festival is a bit inhumane, at least tens of thousands of people need to be sacrificed. But we have an agreement with the Ziri Royal Family not to interfere with each other, so I think..." He suddenly paused, Saint Helia said: "Helia, what's your opinion on this?"

From nowhere, Saint Helia took out an apple and was gnawing on it. Hearing Cardinal Clement's inquiry, she raised her head, at a loss like an ignorant little girl.

"The Great Demon Sacrifice must be stopped." It was Yiman who replied instead of the saint.

As the guard of the saintess, Yiman had no chance to express his opinion, and it was a bit strange to even allow him to attend the meeting.But these people's self-cultivation is very good, and no one complains about it.

Cardinal Clement's eyes lit up, and he asked with some anticipation: "Copper coins, tell me, why do you have to stop the Great Demon Sacrifice?"

"The scriptures say: The wicked walk in the mist, don't let him have a chance to find the right direction, let him be lost forever." Yiman shook his head and made up nonsense.

All the people present were familiar with the scriptures, and they even recited them fluently. They all whispered: Is there such a sentence in the scriptures?
"Is this from that chapter of the scriptures? Why didn't I pay attention?" the old nun couldn't help asking.

"It's the Heart Sutra of Great Wisdom." Yimanhu said, "It talks about some philosophies and principles of life."

There are many scholars who have read poetry and books, but they have never heard of the Great Wisdom Heart Sutra, and they can't help showing doubts.

If we want to convince this group of people, we must increase our rhetoric and use heavy medicine. Iman made an unpredictable statement: "Actually, this world is far bigger than everyone imagined. For example, the giant continent that is separated from us by the ocean of storms. Has anyone been there?"

Everyone peeked at each other. This group of old people thought they were well-educated, but none of them crossed the sea of ​​​​storms.Don't know what's on the other side.

Letting these old pedantry suffer, Yiman suddenly felt a little happy, and said boastfully: "Speaking of which, the Giant Continent is also a place with a good style, but the people there are all strange shapes. The Magic Seal Empire was originally human, but since childhood Merging with various wild animals, they have the heads of beasts and the bodies of humans, and the royal family is the leader of dragons. The ancient kingdom of Tidan is even more strange, their bodies are either glittering with gold, or they are as bright as diamonds."

"Well, does the Giant Continent have faith?" Someone asked quite interestedly.

"There are beliefs, and the magic seals who merged with beasts were originally human beings, and they believed in the demon god of the abyss, the demon Rose." Iman looked around and returned to the topic: "So, this world is very huge, what is the matter? It can all happen, Emperor Ziri Yiman is not a fool, he must have ulterior motives for performing the Great Demon Sacrifice."

Yiman paused for a moment, and said with emphasis: "Basically, the Giant Continent has been enslaved by the demons and has become the servant of the Abyssal Demon God. Emperor Ziri Yiman performed the Great Demon Sacrifice. I guess, he actually wanted to find something for himself. Master, if you don't stop us, our Dragon Continent will fall into the backyard of the Abyss Demon God just like the Giant Continent."

Yiman kept bluffing and intimidating, and everyone couldn't help whispering and discussing.The two cardinals Bismarck and Clement exchanged opinions and reached an agreement. In the end, everyone present also agreed to stop the Great Demon Sacrifice.

Only Saint Helia did not express her opinion, she was still trying to eat the fruit, but now it was replaced by bananas.
