The old priest has a stooped figure, his hair is snow-white, and the wrinkles on his face are like dry old tree bark. He must be over eighty years old.
He walked very slowly, but very steadily, until he came close, and then he took a serious look at the two of them, then looked at Jolena and said slowly: "Girl, I think you look familiar..." Jolena looked at it intently.
Father, but he frowned and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Father, it seems like this is the first time we have met, right?"
The priest smiled slightly and said: "I have been impressed by you since you investigated Chahan'er.
I just didn’t expect that even if he faked his death, he wouldn’t be able to hide it from your discerning eyes.”
"ah?
Is Zhahaner really not dead?"
Jolena said in surprise.
The priest turned to look at the empty coffin and said, "Didn't you already see it?"
"Father, do you know the truth about my boyfriend's disappearance?"
Jolena couldn't help but ask.
The priest sighed and said, "If you two have time, I want to tell you a story..." "Story?"
Lin Shan and Qiao Lina looked at each other with suspicious expressions on their faces.
"Young man, could you please restore the grave pit to its original state?"
The priest did not explain much, but said to Lin Shan.
Lin Shan pondered for a moment, then nodded, closed the coffin lid again, then picked up the shovel and quickly backfilled the soil.
After returning to his original state, the priest turned around and walked back tremblingly.
Lin Shan and Qiao Lina looked at each other, and then walked behind the priest.
The priest walked very slowly. Although Lin Shan was anxious, he couldn't rush him, so he could only follow behind him patiently.
In this way, I walked for more than twenty minutes before entering a room in the church.
The room was not very big, but it was very clean. Several chairs were placed against the wall. After the priest invited Lin Shan and Qiao Lina to sit down, he also made fragrant coffee for them.
However, out of caution, neither Lin Shan nor the others drank.
The priest was minding his own business and told a story about the village.
"In the depths of the Sahara Desert, there is a mysterious village called Rakha Village, where a group of mysterious Rakha people live.
According to legend, the Rakha people immigrated from aliens, that is, the legendary aliens. There are also records about the Rakha people in our sacred books, but what is recorded above is that they are messengers of God.
, is to spread God’s light and love.”
"This village never communicates with the outside world and lives a self-sufficient life. However, many believers, in order to trace the traces of God, have gone deep into the desert many times to look for the Raka village, but they have not found it.
Even most people are lost in the vast Sahara Desert and never come out.
However, some people say that those believers have been called by God, have become God’s people, have received God’s gifts, and have become members of the Raka village.”
Hearing this, Lin Shan couldn't help but asked curiously: "If this village is hidden in the hinterland of the desert, how do they rely on to be self-sufficient?
In addition, the exploration equipment is now very advanced and the transportation is very convenient. If there really is such a place, how can we not find it?"
"Having said that, how can believers rely on modern transportation when going on pilgrimage?"
The priest said: "In my opinion, the hidden location is only one of the reasons why people can't find the Raka village."
"oh?
Then do you think there are other reasons?"
Lin Shan asked interface.
The priest nodded and said: "It is recorded in the sacred book that the village of Raka is very magical. It disappears at sunrise and appears again at sunset. Perhaps this is the real reason why believers cannot find it."
"It disappears at sunrise and appears at sunset?
You mean, this village disappears during the day and only appears at night?"
Jolena asked in surprise.
"This is what is recorded in the divine book."
The priest nodded.
Lin Shan asked with some surprise: "Father, you are telling us this story tonight. Is that Zha Haner related to this story?"
The priest seemed hesitant. After thinking again and again, he confessed: "Zhahan'er is from Raka."
"What?"
Lin Shan and Qiao Lina were both surprised.
"Isn't this because he deceived you?"
Lin Shan said.
The priest shook his head and said: "Absolutely not."
"Why are you so sure?
The village of Raka exists in legends, and no one has ever seen the Raka people. You also said before that the Raka people never have contact with the outside world, but Zhahan'er appears here and has survived for many years.
Isn’t it very contradictory?”
Jolena said.
The priest said: "Zhahan'er is a messenger sent by God. He understands divine texts."
"What is the divine text?"
The more Lin Shan listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't figure out what the old priest meant.
"The divine writing is an ancient writing recorded in the divine book, and only the messengers of God can understand it.
And the Raka people are the messengers of God.”
When the priest said this, he explained: "I know, you definitely don't believe it. After all, we don't know that kind of sacred text, so Zhahaner can tell nonsense.
This is also possible.
But..." "But what?"
Jolena said.
The priest continued: "Zhahaner has many magical abilities, such as flying, strong strength, and the ability to turn water into ice, etc., and the most important thing is that he has god-like medical skills and can save endangered people.
, and I was saved from death by Zha Haner."
"oh?
Having said that, this Zhahaner is really quite capable.
Then why did he fake his death?"
Lin Shan asked.
In Lin Shan's opinion, these so-called magical abilities are not magical at all.
On the contrary, he became even more suspicious of Zha Haner.
The priest looked at Joanna and said, "This girl has been investigating Zhahaner. Zhahaner didn't want to be noticed, so he had no choice but to fake his death."
"Then where is he now?"
"My boyfriend's disappearance is related to him?"
Lin Shan and Qiao Lina asked at the same time.
The priest shook his head and sighed, and said: "Zhahan'er has returned to Laka Village.
As for this girl’s boyfriend, I don’t know very well, but I believe that as a messenger of God, Zhahaner will never harm others.”
"I just want to know where is my boyfriend now?"
Joanna asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
Lin Shan secretly shook Joanna's hand and signaled her not to be excited, and then asked the priest: "Father, when you tell us this story today, you probably don't just want to tell us the inside story, right?"
The priest smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, I have a purpose."
"What purpose?"
Lin Shan asked.
The priest pointed at himself and said calmly: "I am extremely ill now, and God has called me, but I don't want to die here.
So I would like to ask you to take me with you to find the village of Raka. I hope to see that mysterious place with my own eyes before closing my eyes, and dedicate my residual body and supreme faith to my great God."
"Father, your spirit is admirable! But I still have some doubts in my heart, why did you choose us?
How can you be sure that we will definitely take you to find Raka Village?"
Lin Shan looked into the priest's old eyes and asked.
