Chapter 371 Gods(1/2)
"I'll try."
Xing Jun was helpless. He was the lord of Xingchou City, but he was reduced to working as a wage earner for Xu Shen. He felt a little sad, but his fists were not as strong as others, so he could only bow his head and suffer.
Soon, Xingjun made a divination prediction.
The rapid consumption of xu power brings results to divination.
"Found it, over there."
Xingjun pointed towards the inner city.
"Okay, lead the way, let's go there."
Xu Shen said that before going to the Xuhai, he had to be fully prepared. Although he had Pamela's memory of the Xuhai, he had to go all out for the dangers there, so he thought of finding Heixue to enhance his strength.
What's more, the inner city is dangerous, and it's not a problem for Heixue to stay in the inner city for a long time.
"Going to the inner city again?"
Xing Jun obviously dislikes the inner city. It would be more comfortable to be a carefree city lord in the bottom city, without having to look at the faces of the people in the inner city. However, he could only accept it reluctantly when working for Xu Shen.
Xu Shen asked Xue Haining to take good care of Guangming City, and then went to the inner city with Xingjun.
"Who are you targeting?"
"Night Rat King."
After entering the inner city, Xing Jun made divination again and made several divination adjustments, finally locking the whereabouts of the Night Rat King in a city area.
This is not the area where the seven major families in the inner city are located, but the headquarters of another major force in the inner city, the Moonlight Religion.
In a sense, the power of the Moonlight Religion even surpasses the seven major families in the inner city. The religious believers are spread across all districts and have penetrated into every family. Even within the seven major families, many heirs have been infected by the Moonlight Religion.
Xu Shen remembered that there were at least five kings in the Moonlight Religion.
The four archbishops alone are the four kings, not including the pope and the hidden kings.
"It can only be located near here, it cannot be locked."
The place pointed by Xingjun's divination tool was swinging unsteadily, like an out-of-control compass. He frowned and said: "There seems to be something around the other party that is interfering with the results. It may be that they are aware of us, or it may be a kind of Passive abilities.”
Xu Shen stood on the edge of a tall building, looking at the lights in front of him.
In this prosperous area of the city, you can see several churches, and you can occasionally see some believers and nuns wearing moonlight robes on the streets.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, which brought back many bad memories for him.
But he was not impulsive. The seven major families may not have a close relationship with the Parliament, but the Moonlight Religion must have contacts with the Parliament. Otherwise, the monarch of the Parliament would not allow such a force to control the thoughts of the people in the inner city.
Religious believers are sometimes even more cohesive than family members, and can be more fanatical and terrifying.
"Go and meet the Pope, he should know."
After a short pause, Xu Shen said to Xingjun.
Xingjun was stunned and couldn't help but said to Xu Shen: "I heard that the Moonlight Pope is a dangerous person. Although he is not a monarch, he is also quite scary. The Moonlight Sect has a long history, and I heard that there seems to be an ancient myth. It is rumored that there are people in the sect. The gods are in charge, even if the seven major families dare not provoke them, we still..."
"The gods are in charge?"
Xu Shen looked at Xingjun: "Do you think there is a god in the world?"
Xingjun opened his mouth slightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I think it might be true."
"If there really is a god, who is this god on? How could he allow Xu to massacre human beings?" Xu Shen asked.
Xing Jun smiled bitterly: "Maybe God has no emotions and doesn't care about the slaughter of all living beings. God is just a noun."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly and he glanced at Xingjun but said nothing.
He thought about it and said: "No matter what, let's find out first."
Seeing that Xu Shen insisted on doing this, Xingjun felt helpless and stopped trying to persuade him.
The two traveled all the way and arrived at the headquarters of the Moonlight Sect.
This church is extremely majestic, like a carved work of art. Even building such an exquisite model is extremely complicated and difficult, let alone a majestic and massive church.
There are three majestic figures standing outside the church, which are the gods believed in by the Moonlight Sect.
God, Lord of the Moon.
Divine Attendant, Angel of the Moon.
Two graceful, elegant, and holy angels surrounded the Moon Lord.
The face of the Lord of the Moon is compassionate and lifelike, and he looks like a young man with a stalwart figure.
Xu Shen took a look and felt a little awkward. He found that the two serving moon angels seemed more realistic.
On the contrary, Moon Lord has a hollow and false feeling.
Under the gaze, Xu Shen suddenly felt that the two moon angels seemed to be resurrected, and there was a trace of divine light in their eyes, as if they were turning their heads to look at him.
The moment they looked at each other, Xu Shen felt an extremely strange feeling.
Extremely evil and extremely twisted.
The huge distracting thoughts suddenly hit his mind, making him feel like his stomach was twisted and he wanted to vomit.
He suddenly woke up with a start.
Only then did I realize that in reality everything remained the same, and everything before seemed like an illusion.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and he looked at the Moon Lord again, and found that the Moon Lord in the middle was like a dead stone. No matter how he stared at his face, there was no change.
On the contrary, it was the two angels next to him that made him afraid to look any further.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xu Shen saw Maeve's figure sitting on top of Moon Lord's head, raising her white and tender legs, and patting Moon Lord's head with a smile.
Xu Shen withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he thought about Xingjun's words just now.
Are there really gods?
The illusion brought about by those two angels was still fresh in his memory, and until now, he still didn't dare to look at it any more.
You know, now he is a king and has reached the pinnacle of mankind.
The end of the evolution of life.
If you go further, could you become a god?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen couldn't help but glance at Maeve.
If this is the case, wouldn't Maeve be a...god?
Looking at Maeve's fair and lovely appearance, Xu Shen's heart suddenly softened. If there is a god, maybe it is like her?
He glanced at the two angel sculptures next to him again, but this time he found that the two angel sculptures seemed to have become much more ordinary. It was just an illusion before. Although the angel sculptures were lifelike, they no longer seemed to be alive as before.
of vividness.
Xu Shen frowned slightly and shook his head. Maybe it was an illusion caused by overthinking.
Without thinking any more, he followed Xingjun across the sculpture and entered the Moonlight Temple.
The lights in the church temple are brightly lit. It has just fallen into the night, and there are still believers gathering here to listen to the night prayers.
The Moonlight Sect is the largest religion in the inner city, and the main god it believes in is the Moon Lord.
Secondly, they also have their own complete mythological beliefs, such as the goddess of the night, the goddess of hunting, etc., who are all attendants of the Moon Lord. Just like in some ancient myths, there is a god king, a god queen, a god of love, etc., each of which
His job.
"The world is shrouded in mist, and the light of truth cannot spread across the earth."
"True life can only be seen in the loss of oneself..."
One after another, low voices were chanted, echoing in the church.
Xu Shen heard some familiar prayers inside, and his eyes changed slightly, showing a bit of coldness.
As the two of them looked around, a casual voice suddenly came:
"You two are here late at night, what are you doing?"
A priest in silver robes walked out from the depths of the church. He had a stooped figure, a thin face, and his eyes reflected cold light like diamond-shaped glass shards.
Xu Shen glanced at the other person, he was no longer an old acquaintance.
He said calmly: "We are looking for an old friend. He seems to be hiding in your place. I wonder if your sect has seen him."
"oh?"
The priest looked coldly: "We only have believers here, no prisoners."
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know who I'm looking for?"
"I don't know." The priest shook his head.
Xu Shen stopped playing riddles and said coldly: "His name is Night Rat King. He owes me something and I need to pay it back. I hope your religion can teach him out."
"To be called a king is also a king." The priest said calmly: "We don't have other kings here. You two are looking in the wrong place."
