Chapter 7 A Question

All eyes were focused on the highest point of the Guangming Palace.

Looking at His Majesty the Pope and the Pope standing beside him, people felt a lot of uneasiness.

Such a solemn matter, what His Majesty the Pope wants to announce is naturally related to the change in the Heavenly Book Tomb. Many people have even thought of Chen Changsheng's name.

The atmosphere was very tense and uneasy. No one noticed that two people walked out of the passage on the side of the hall.

The King of Linghai and Taoist Siyuan, these two giants of the state religion, were banned by His Majesty the Pope that night and were imprisoned in the Taoist Prison. Why did they suddenly appear at this time?

In just three days, they became much thinner and their faces were pale without any blood.

They walked through the crowd and walked towards the front of the main hall. Finally, someone discovered their existence and let out a low voice.

Gradually, there were more and more exclamations.

The King of Linghai and Taoist Siyuan stood at the forefront of the main hall of Guangming again.

Archbishop Yan Lin showed a look of shock on his face, Zhuang Zhihuan's pupils shrank slightly, and only Mao Qiuyu and Archbishop met Taoist Bai Shi's expressions remained unchanged. He probably knew about this in advance.

The main hall was filled with light. Mu Jiushi stood on the platform, standing at the most prosperous place of light, and her vision was somewhat affected. Even though she thought about what the Pope was about to announce, she still couldn't help but feel nervous, and did not notice the exclamation and moment of chaos in the crowd below.

The next moment, she will become the successor of the state religion and the future Pope.

His Majesty the Pope looked at her, his eyes full of compassion and love.

She smiled a little shyly, but she was extremely calm and slightly excited, looking forward to hearing that sentence.

"What should I punish the Archbishop of Xuanwen Hall for wine and poems that violate the teachings and rules, and I miss the way of heaven?"

A craziest scream and discussion sounded in the main hall of Guangming.

The state religion is about to usher in the first female pope in history, which is indeed very surprising. Mu Jiushi thought with a reserved smile.

Suddenly, her expression suddenly changed and her face turned extremely pale.

Because it was not until this time that she could hear the voice of His Majesty clearly.

Seriously violate the teachings and laws? Absent from the way of heaven?

Isn’t the matter that His Majesty wants to announce, to be the next Pope?

how so!

What's going on!

Mu Jiushi was shocked to the extreme and suddenly turned his head to look at the Pope.

What she saw was the old face and eyes full of compassion and love.

That compassion and love were not given to her.

She knows very well.

She was very angry.

"Why do you have to punish me!" she said to the Pope in a cold voice.

She looked at the crowd below the high platform and shouted sternly: "Who dares to punish me?"

The crowd was very silent. The priests who were qualified to participate in the Light Festival were all important figures in the National Church. They knew very well that the origin of this mysterious Archbishop of Xuanwen Hall also knew what her existence meant to the great cause of the new millennium of the National Church. But their silence at this time did not mean uneasiness, but because His Majesty the Pope did not ask them what he said.

The various halls of the National Church have their own functions. Liuyun Hall commands punishments and the Archbishop of Liuyun Hall has already arrived at the venue at this time.

The King of Linghai looked at Mu Jiusi, and the resentment in his eyes was like a faint fire: "As long as the stick is thirty, the martial arts are forbidden, and the martial arts are expelled from the National Church."

This is the written law in the teachings, and anyone in the hall can recite it, but after hearing these three sentences, I still feel the biting chill.

For six hundred years, the State Church has not imposed such harsh punishments on archbishops of the level of pastoral wine and poetry.

Looking at the eyes of the King of Linghai, Mu Jiushi felt that his body became extremely cold.

She knew she could not stop any longer, so she groaned and turned around and floated out of the hall.

She believed that as long as she left the main hall of Guangming, Shang Xingzhou would be able to protect herself. The position of the Pope has become a phantom, but the funeral will be expected after all.

However, as soon as she floated off the platform, she found that she had lost control of her body and fell heavily.

The King of Linghai came to her with several cardinals from Liuyun Palace expressionless.

...

...

Deep in the holy light, a terrifying aura came faintly, and Mu Jiusi's angry shouts were heard. After all, she represented the Great Western Continent. After receiving Mao Qiuyu's hint, the King of Linghai temporarily recorded thirty spikes on the excuse of the absence of the magical staff, but the forbidden martial arts... was still a terrible thing, and he had to endure unimaginable pain and torture.

His Majesty the Pope did not hear it, so no one in the temple heard it, as quiet as a sleeping ocean.

With the support of Mao Qiuyu and Taoist Bai Shi, the Pope walked down the platform and came to the middle of the priests.

He looked at the people who had served him for hundreds of years and said, "Three days ago, I said I was going to die."

There was a crying sound in the crowd.

"After my death, the Pope's position was passed to Chen Changsheng." The Pope said.

When he said this, his expression was very calm, as if he was saying that it was time to practice Qingxian Palace, and whether the pigeons in Ligong Zuoyuan were too fat.

After the Battle of Naihe Bridge, His Majesty the Pope gave Chen Changsheng a magical scepter that symbolized the authority of the state religion. Everyone understood what that meant, and at this time he made a confirmation again.

This represents an irresistible will and majesty. The entire state religion will protect this sentence at all costs until Chen Changsheng ascended the position of pope.

Headed by Mao Qiuyu and Bai Shi Taoist, all the bishops, including the priests outside the hall, teachers and students of various academies, and the cavalrymen of the State Church, knelt on the ground, as if they were tides.

Taoist Siyuan knelt down, the King of Linghai knelt down, gradually calmed down, and then began to sing Taoist scriptures, praising the stars and virtues.

A masterpiece of light in the hall.

...

...

"Old man Yin, my father will not let you go! My sister will definitely avenge me!"

Mu Jiusi's angry shout came faintly from afar, gradually turning into crying, then gradually fading away until it disappeared.

This mysterious princess from Daxizhou, a former national religion giant, was expelled from the palace and should never have the chance to take another step.

The Pope is watering.

There were only three green leaves in the basin, which was a little disappointed, but there was still life. After being wiped away from the dust, I recovered a lot of energy.

"Why?" Shang Xingzhou's voice was not emotional.

"You have asked before, why should Chen Changsheng be the pope?" The pope raised his head and looked at him calmly and said, "Because I want him to be the one."

Shang Xingzhou was a little surprised by this answer and his eyes were slightly sunken.

This is definitely not his junior brother whom he has known for nearly a thousand years.

"Senior brother, you said you came to see me today to discuss the inheritance of my teaching... But the national education is not your teaching."

The Pope put the wet square scarf beside the pond, took a dry towel and wiped off the water droplets in his hand, and said, "If you have to say which one's teaching is, then this is my national religion."

Shang Xingzhou confirmed that his judgment was correct.

Today's Pope is no longer the Yin in the past thousand years, why?

He said expressionlessly: "So for your emotional tendencies, you completely ignore the overall situation of the human race and the future of the state religion."

The Pope was quiet for a while and said, "The Empress said that I was trapped in the word "Salvation World" in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum that night. This is correct. If it were me in the past, or if it was really possible for the sake of the overall situation of the human race and the future of the state religion, she would take the magical staff back from Chen Changsheng, and then as you wish, she would enthrone the little girl as the next generation of pope."

Shang Xingzhou said: "Why can't you do it now?"

"The same sentence." The Pope said calmly: "I am old and dying, and I will always have to live a few days of what I want to live."

When a person is about to die, he is of course qualified to be more presumptuous. He does not need to look at the world with compassion, he can be more free, he does not need to think about the overall situation of the human race, he can be short-sighted and not look at the future of the national religion.

He is the Pope, and the state religion belongs to him, not to anyone else. If he wants Chen Changsheng to be the next pope, then no one else wants to sit in that position.

This is very convincing.

Shang Xingzhou looked at him for a long time and suddenly said, "I raised him by myself. I know that even if you want him to be, he will not be."

The Pope said, "I teach him the kingdom. As for whether he wants it, it is his own business."

Shang Xingzhou closed his eyes, then opened his eyes, his eyes silenced: "The dead cannot be the pope."

The pope's expression remained unchanged and said, "You want to kill him?"

Shang Xingzhou said expressionlessly: "Even if it is a puppy, it has some feelings for so many years. How can you bear to kill him with your own hands?"

The Pope said: "I have never understood. How could you teach a student like Chen Changsheng? Now I understand that he was not taught by you."

Shang Xingzhou said: "Everything of him comes from me, and of course he was taught by me."

The Pope looked at him and said calmly: "If he was really what you taught him, how could you not know how powerful he would be when facing death?"

Shang Xingzhou's eyes narrowed.

...

...

In the National Education College Library.

"He raised me."

Chen Changsheng said: "When I want to understand him, I can understand him in particular. I know that in Tianshuling three days ago, he asked me to take away the body of the Holy Queen Mother, and deliberately wanted to leave this matter for a while and use it to make a living. Even if the uncle of the Master continues to protect me, there will be people like you who will use this matter to kill me."

Old Master Lin nodded and said, "No, if I don't come to the National Education College, there will be others."

Chen Changsheng said: "But there is one problem."

Old Master Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the problem?"

Chen Changsheng raised the sword in his hand, looked at him and said calmly: "Can you kill me?"
