"To you, he is just the Great Priest of Light. To me, he is not only my master and mentor, but also my friend and relative. He is a more important existence than my father!"
Thinking about all the past events and remembering the past of learning cultivation from the Great Priest of Guangming when he was young, Ming Che couldn't control his emotions any more. Tears rolled down his face drop by drop, wetting the white silk. The weather was cold, but the tears lingered, like
Shining like a pearl.
Crowd, silent.
Then, everyone felt sadness arise in their hearts.
"Master's greatest hope during his lifetime is for the world to be bright!" Mingche took a deep breath, "He never wants hatred and killing to arise because of his death, so please everyone... go back!"
Raising his face, he turned around to face everyone, picked up his robe and knelt on the snow, "Everyone, please go back!"
"Great Priest!"
All the bright priests and deacons were shocked, and then one by one they picked up their robes and knelt down to return the favor.
People, shocked.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he knelt down on the ground in a hurry.
Great Priest of Light, what kind of existence is that?
In the temple, that person is second only to the Pope.
One person is inferior to ten thousand people.
He said, "please"?!
He knelt down?!
He actually knelt down before these humble believers.
Although the temple is not as prestigious in the Ming Dynasty as in the Xia Kingdom, it is still an arrogant existence. What's more, his secular status as the son of the royal family is also a noble existence.
As a prince, as a high priest of Guangming, kneeling before his subjects and believers, this was even more shocking to them than the death of the high priest of Guangming.
The Ming army did not kneel down, but there was still shock in their eyes.
Chen Li looked solemn and jumped off the horse.
Beside him, several lieutenants jumped off their horses, turning their backs to Ming Che's figure, showing awe in their faces.
The accompanying cavalry dismounted and lowered their hands to show respect.
"Everyone, please go back!" Mingche said again.
A white-clothed priest raised his face with tears in his eyes and said, "Please go back, everyone, and don't shed any more tears and blood because of this. The death of a great priest is enough!"
"Yes, please go back, everyone!"
…
The priests and deacons spoke one after another.
Several priests knelt down beside Mingche, trying to pull him up, but Mingche just knelt on the ground and didn't move.
"Let's go back!" The believer who had thrown stones at Mingche before raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, kowtowed three times to Mingche from a distance, stood up and walked towards the Ming army.
Chen Li made a gesture, and the Ming army immediately separated a road.
Following the old man, all the believers kowtowed three times to Mingche, stood up, and left.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and all the believers in front of the holy city left.
With the help of several priests, Mingche finally stood up. Ignoring the snow dust on his robe, he carefully smoothed the white silk on the body of the great priest Guangming, and sat on the shaft of the carriage.
"Let's go!"
The priests and deacons then got on their horses and walked out of the road that the Ming army had given way to.
Lopsided.
Chen Li got on his horse and said, "Strictly guard this place. No one is allowed to enter the Holy City. No one is allowed to move rashly until I come back!"
After saying that, he suddenly crossed his legs and galloped away in the direction of not leaving the city.
PS: I went out of town temporarily for something and I just came back. There will be more updates later, but it will be late. Sorry, thank you!
