Peleg led the way nagging, Old John followed behind with a nervous and apprehensive look on his face, and the Sheriff was at the back, trembling with fear.
Negris reflected in Ange's soul, feeling annoyed and sighing at the same time: "How come there is such a coincidence that there is such a stupid saint? How come it is such a coincidence? Alas..."
The ascetic is the most suitable identity for Ange to disguise himself. The ascetic is also very suitable to appear here during this time period, but the reason why the ascetic appears is more suitable is to exorcise demons.
The ascetic monk is one of the most determined among all the priests of the Church of Light. He can endure long-term loneliness, give up all comfortable enjoyments, abandon all emotions and relationships, and exercise his faith and will in the most difficult environment.
As long as there is even the slightest hesitation, it is impossible to persist. People who can become ascetic monks are definitely people who have no distracting thoughts and are extremely determined.
Exorcism is naturally about exorcising demons from the body and mind.
Some people, who were originally good, suddenly start talking nonsense, hitting people, destroying things, and saying some weird things. They are possessed by the devil. As long as the devil is exorcised, they can return to normal.
Of course there is demonic possession, as Felin once said, the dysentery epidemic in the dungeon was caused by a corpse possessed by demons.
However, ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the exorcisms mentioned by the Church of Light are mental illness and demonic possession. A purification technique will suffice, and there is no need to specifically exorcise them.
Mental illness is a mental illness, which is different from neurosis.
Neuropathy refers to diseases of the nervous system, such as epilepsy, savant syndrome, Parkinson's disease, autism, etc., which are physical lesions of the nervous system.
Mental illness refers to mental illnesses, such as multiple personalities, emotional disorders, delusions, etc., which do not have obvious physical lesions. If they are relatively mild, they are not considered illnesses.
For example, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia... Maybe everyone has some slight mental problems to be so energetic...
However, sometimes people confuse neurosis with mental illness, because people with neuropathy are more likely to develop mental illness, especially lack of sleep and excessive exhaustion.
If the priest cannot cure it and requires ascetics to exorcise the demon, it is 100% a mental illness. After all, if the demon is possessed and cannot be exorcised, it can still be burned.
Ascetic monks are the most determined people. Some mental problems that may be called diseases to ordinary people will only be answered by: Ah? What is spirit? Oh, what is disease? Not eating is self-mutilation? Self-mutilation is a disease.
?I often skip meals. You think I'm sick?
Compared with ascetics, most mental illnesses are normal.
Walking all the way to the town, Ange was the calmest among everyone, looking left and right curiously.
While leading the way, Farrar introduced: "The Saint of Xia Mara is the biggest pride of our Mara town. Even her name is named after our town. She was selected as a candidate saint at the age of twelve.
She was able to summon the Holy Spirit when she was sixteen, and became possessed by the Holy Spirit when she was eighteen, but until fifty years later, she was unable to listen to the oracles."
"A few years ago, she began to have symptoms of being possessed by the devil. She often asked to see His Majesty Pope Gugliani, saying that the gods had disappeared and asked everyone to save the kingdom of God. Such nonsense is of course not acceptable.
There will be people who believe her, but everyone thinks she just didn't listen to the divine words, so she went crazy."
"Unexpectedly, more than a month ago, Saint Xia Mara suddenly became unable to be possessed by the Holy Spirit, and then shouted that the Kingdom of God would be destroyed. Only then did everyone confirm that she was possessed by the devil. She might just be old. Other saints
All women can listen to divine prophecies, but she cannot. Other saints can be possessed by the Holy Spirit, but she cannot."
"So His Majesty the Pope drove her home to rest. He said that he would send ascetics to treat her. Unexpectedly, Sir Nicholas happened again. I finally looked forward to your arrival, Lord Ange, Saint Shyamala.
This girl is the pride of our town of Mara, please save her."
After Farrar's rambling talk, Nigris finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Ange to relay the question: "You are a local, Shyamala, how old are you."
"Saint Xia Mara is already sixty-eight this year. As for me, of course I am not a local, but I have stayed in Mara Town for fifty years, and everything about me already belongs here." Farrar said.
After Farrar finished speaking, he glanced at Ange carefully and found that the ascetic monk didn't respond at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
"As expected of an ascetic monk, your expression is so unpredictable and powerful." Peleg thought to himself.
Of course Ange was expressionless, and it was not because he wanted to ask questions, but in his soul, Nigris was already thinking.
"Sixty-eight years old, quite young. Many young men should like him. Look at this Peleg, his eyes sparkle when he mentions this name. There must be something wrong with him."
"More than a month ago, I couldn't be possessed by the Holy Spirit. It was normal. The Holy Kingdom fell down and all the angels of the Holy Spirit were carried to death. It's strange that I can still be possessed by the Holy Spirit. But other saints can still listen to divine prophecies? Other saints
Can a woman be possessed by the Holy Spirit? What's going on? Are the gods of light not dead?"
"If the gods of light disappear, then other saints can still listen to the divine prophecies, which is a lie; if there is no lie, then the gods have not disappeared; if there is no lie, then the gods disappear again, then someone is making false claims.
This is blasphemy."
"It seems necessary to capture a saint to see who is lying. The soul-searching technique should be very useful in this regard."
The group soon arrived at Mara Town and arrived at Xia Mara's home, a very ordinary brick and stone house. However, when they entered, they found that all the walls had been reinforced and iron fences had been added.
After entering, you have to open an iron door, go down the stairs, go more than ten meters underground, and enter a solid dungeon.
Before entering the door, Negris asked Ange to use the power of the Holy Light to prevent others from seeing his true face. After all, Ange's current appearance was transformed from a scarecrow hat. As long as the mental power is higher than his,
, you can see through his illusion.
However, even Nicholas could not see through Ange's abnormal mental power. Nigris was not very worried, he was just taking precautions. Who knew what weird abilities the saint had?
For example, Lisa, a former saint, has a lot of weird abilities, but she can't release many of them just because she broke her trust.
But this time Nigris was going to be in trouble. Originally, he might have been fine if he didn't use the Holy Light, but when he used the Holy Light and walked into the dungeon, he first saw a very graceful back, kneeling under a statue of a god, with his waist
Upright, solemn and sacred.
Hearing the movement, Xia Mara turned her head, looked at Ange with some doubts, and said: "Your holy light is too pure. You are not a believer in the light. Who are you?"
All of Nigris' attention was attracted by Shamara's eyes, which were a pair of extremely pure eyes.
And her face is also a smooth and clean face, like an eighteen-year-old girl, isn't it said that she is sixty-eight years old?
