Zheng Xiao was dumbfounded for a moment, until An Weng was in place and the array diagrams on the three floors began to be debugged and run, and he finally came to his senses.
An Weng, are you kidding me?
Currently, there is indeed news circulating within the sect that the "Gate of Truth" is about to open. It is said that through this magical portal, one can see the holy object, the true form of the "Scale of Truth", unlock the highest authority, and obtain
Supreme wisdom.
As the chief priest in charge of local missionary affairs, Zheng Xiao knew very well that this was the product of some priests' imaginations when they were preaching, based on the recent earthquake in Xiacheng, borrowing fragments of doctrinal scriptures. They fabricated this rumor and claimed that "
The location of the "Gate of Truth" is near Xia City. The earthquakes that lasted for many days are the interference reaction caused by the holy objects' continuous approach to the material world.
The priests on the secular side of the Order of Justice would come up with several similar rumors every year to attract believers and expand the influence of the Order. Zheng Xiao was no longer surprised.
During this period, the cult had taken the lead in analyzing and utilizing the human-faced spider, and its research had made considerable progress. It was about to launch a new faith product. Zheng Xiao thought of taking advantage of this opportunity and did not put any restrictions on these rumors.
Did An Weng still believe such a lie? How could he tie Childe's hands and feet?
"The old man's head is confused!" An Chengli, another chief priest, sent the message through a private channel.
Zheng Xiao did not agree. Although An Chengli was rude in his words, he was An Weng's grandnephew after all. He usually put on an upright face and harmed his elders to get along with others. God knows what was going on behind the scenes with his family.
A rhetoric.
Moreover, Zheng Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with An Weng's mind at all.
An Weng is the secret priest, but his qualifications are even older than 99% of the Xinzhao priests. However, when he received the revelation of the holy object, he was already old and his body could not bear it, which limited his achievements.
But even so, in the religious order, all the priests, the chief, and even the chief priest would call him An Weng. As time went by, he didn't even remember his real name.
An Weng has never insulted this honorific title. Perhaps this old man who is over 100 years old is already decrepit, but his understanding of the situation and his clear and profound thinking are still far better than those of them who have sworn to be the chief priests.
At least, Zheng Xiao felt ashamed of himself. He couldn't help but think more about it. Is there any deep meaning in An Weng's words?
Zheng Xiao recalled relevant records. According to the Holy Scriptures of the Order, the opening of the "Gate of Truth" was the beginning of change in the world. The last time was the "abnormality" that swept the world, completely changing the earth's ecology and destroying mankind.
The shackles of potential bring "revelation" into the world.
The next opening of the "Gate of Truth" will undoubtedly change the direction of the human world again. As for whether it will be prosperity or destruction, there is no clear indication in the holy scriptures.
No matter what direction it takes, how earth-shattering is this? If the news is true, the upper echelons of the sect have already exploded. At the head of the Holy Temple of Justice, all the chief priests and chief priests, including the head priest who has no trace of the dragon, must line up.
Open all obstacles and gather in Xia City. There has been a turmoil here for a long time. How could it still be like this...
Well, wait! If it is the "Gate of Truth", if Xia City is really turbulent, what good will it do to the Justice Order? The so-called pulling a hair can affect the whole body, and really create such a big scene, how can we wait for it?
Are the profits shared by the government, military, esper associations, or other plutocratic forces?
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiao shuddered suddenly. Even though he was wearing a thick black robe, his whole body was still trembling unconsciously. This was not fear, but the sudden excitement and pressure.
"Anweng, you mean that the Gate of Truth is indeed a thing?"
"Really or not?" An Chengli also forgot to push Zheng Xiao in front to block the arrows, and couldn't help but interject, "Why is there no news at all from above?"
Even if there is news, it's not your turn or my level to know it.
Zheng Xiao has always wondered whether An Weng knew that his greatest advantage was his self-awareness, so he transferred him to team up with An Chengli, a young chief priest whose "ambition exceeds his ability".
However, even though An Chengli had all kinds of shortcomings, he was still not stupid. He immediately asked a barrage of questions: "An Weng, did the chief priest have an 'oracle'? If the 'Gate of Truth' is real
It's about to start, do we have the time and place? Is today's incident just a reason?"
Yes, is it just a reason?
Zheng Xiao was also a little uncertain for a while. If it was really the so-called "building plank roads in the open and crossing Chencang secretly", and taking advantage of the conflict and internal strife between them and Childe, the powerful people on the secular side and the truth side of the order could gather in large numbers in Xia City.
Forming an absolute advantage...then what are their current arrangements?
Sometimes, An Chengli is really the best partner, especially when his mind is burning. He rushes to ask Zheng Xiao's doubts: "If this is true, then we have become a stage set?"
"If Childe is really someone who can cooperate, how credible is this reason?" An Weng only answered one question, but he clarified many things.
Zheng Xiao and An Chengli were both silent. They needed time to digest all this.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier at night, and even on the roof of the building where the rain had been shielded, you could still hear the low gurgling sound of raindrops falling.
An Weng didn't give the two of them much time to think. Soon, their mental realms trembled. Black light and white lines intertwined. A classical hanging balance appeared in the depths of the void that ordinary people could not see, pointing towards the two.
People declare its existence.
The black and white weighing plates are placed on each side, each suspended by three strands of chains of the same color. The central beams are strictly aligned, and the lower base is heavy and heavy. Other than that, there are no additional decorations, making it simple and simple.
This is exactly the projection of the balance of truth. As the supreme holy object of the church, no matter when, where or in what form it appears, it needs to show a respectful attitude. The two officiants bowed at the same time, silently chanted the scriptures, and temporarily
Washed away the distracting thoughts in my mind.
At this time, the scale of truth is not in a balanced state. The white scale pan sinks to the bottom like a weight, causing the black scale pan on the other side to rise high, giving the impression that it is about to topple over in the next moment.
This "imbalanced state" is often the starting sign of the powerful spell of the cult. All subsequent methods are to bring the "imbalanced state" back to the "balanced state", and in the process, incredible gains are obtained.
Mysterious power.
However, the state of the balance of truth this time is somewhat strange. On the sinking white scale, there is nothing, at least no heavy objects can be seen. On the contrary, on the black scale raised on the other side, there is a thin strip of chopsticks.
A small snake with its body wrapped around it, its tail in its mouth, and turbid clouds billowing outside its body.
This little snake holding its own tail is the embodiment of the "words of the ringed snake", symbolizing the negative and painful power under their control in the Frost River reality at this time, and also the need for constant adjustments in the later period to achieve balance.
the only weight.
However, from the perspective of "imbalanced state", its weight seems to be quite insufficient.
"It seems that the words of the krait are not working smoothly." In fact, Zheng Xiao wanted to ask which sacrifice was placed on the "truth side", that is, on the white scale.
An Chengli said: "The absorption of the krait is always interfered with. Are those capable people inside causing trouble?"
