Three large sailing ships slowly sailed into the port of New Camelot City. The flags representing the Holy Lord Church were hung on the masts, like the holy emblem of the rising sun, emitting a bright light visible to the naked eye, like a lighthouse on the shore.
Like this, following the sunlight from the eastern sky, the entire port was illuminated brightly, and the morning mist was blown away.
At this moment, tens of thousands of believers gathered on the port pier from yesterday evening until early this morning. The guards of New Camelot City had to cooperate with the Imperial Legion and sent nearly a thousand soldiers to form a human wall and move them to resist the horses.
Fanatic believers who gathered from all over the city and outside the city were separated to keep the roads open.
"Alas! These believers are really troublesome!"
The port official who was standing on the warning bell tower not far away held a brass telescope and scanned the crowded scene on the port pier, feeling uncontrollably worried and uneasy in his heart.
In order to welcome the arrival of the head of the Scribing Academy, and considering that a large number of believers will come to watch, New Camelot City specially arranged the largest port terminal, and cleared the ground debris and ships in the harbor several days in advance, and the port officials made arrangements
All preparations.
However, the port officials still did not expect that the influence of the church was so powerful. Not only was New Camelot City almost deserted, but in the past month, a large number of believers from other places poured into the city like worshipers. For the safety of the city, the sheriff had to clear the city from entry.
The fees were raised three times in a row, which barely curbed the fanaticism of the believers.
"Trouble is trouble, but aren't the pockets of you officials also full of Jinyang coins?" A mage from the Mysterious Eye next to him held a crystal cup with a leisurely expression. The cup contained sweet and sour juice.
He said: "This bunch of stupid people crowded onto the pier early in order to have a look at the magic stick leader. And in the name of controlling port security, you levied temporary viewing fees from every believer who came to wait, and even charged them according to their distance.
, charging different prices. Did you learn this from the theater?"
The port official said angrily: "Damn it, if I don't do this, how can I ask the Imperial Legion to send people to maintain law and order? This is more than 10,000 people! Even if there are more than 10,000 pigs, if they go crazy, you mages will throw ten
I can’t control a ‘meteor explosion’!”
The mage helplessly spread his hands. He is just a man assigned by the Eye of Mystery to New Camelot City. He is responsible for assisting the empire in various affairs of the largest city in the New World, and at the same time safeguarding the interests of the Eye of Mystery here.
If this job was more than ten years ago, it would have been a lucrative job that everyone in the organization was vying for. After all, the Imperial Province and New Camelot City were the first colonies developed by the Great Londinium Empire in the New World. This place was prosperous.
The level has long been as good as that of the empire itself, and a large amount of goods must be transported to the Old World via New Camelot City.
On the other hand, when people from the empire want to go to the New World, they usually disembark from New Camelot City through the more mature and reliable northern route, instead of going to the country-style Sail Leaf Province.
But what? Since the establishment of the Mutual Protection Alliance, the origin of a large number of goods and materials has been controlled by it, and the flow of goods in and out of New Camelot City has dropped sharply. Although the Imperial Navy fleet cooperates with the Mystical Eye, it has actively developed the Mutual Protection Alliance.
The southern route was blocked, but New Camelot City also inevitably declined.
In addition, the Eye of Mystery has opened up a route to the Elf Kingdom? A large amount of manpower, financial and material resources have been invested in communicating with the Elf Kingdom, resulting in the work of the permanent resident in New Camelot City being no longer taken seriously.
After all, when you come to the New World these days, you can't expect to make a fortune and occupy a lot of land in a few years. Instead, you have to maintain the authority of the empire in the colonial provinces. This is purely a hopeless job. Only those who feel that they can make progress in the future
A mage with little chance would come here to earn a living just for the sake of a stable life.
Okay? Actually, it’s not all just for free.
"Attention to the mages stationed in various positions, the church is launching a wide-area magic control miracle, preparing wall spells, blocking intersections at any time, and prohibiting disorderly collision of crowds... Do not use the 'Fire Wall Spell'!"
The voice of the chief mage advisor of the new Camelot City came from the iron box. The mage on the warning clock tower had to take out an "Ice Wall Spell" scroll unhappily, thinking that every time it was time to reimburse, the person above
One is stingier than the other.
When the port official heard this, he said nervously: "Isn't something serious going to happen? Your master blocked the intersection, but those believers didn't riot on the spot? I finally asked nearly a thousand soldiers to maintain law and order.
If someone dies, I will definitely not be able to keep this position!"
"Don't ask me, I'm just doing the work under orders. If it doesn't work...can you drive some of the people away in advance?" the mage said, shaking the cup.
"Hurry? Who has the guts?" The port official's chin trembled: "By the way, what's the church's miracle of wide-area deception and control?"
The mage raised his eyes and saw that at this moment, three large sailing ships were slowly docking with the help of the tow boat. The holy emblem flag on the top of the mast was fluttering in the wind. Under the magnificent light of the miracle, tens of thousands of believers suddenly felt the soul-immersing feeling.
Comfortable, tired muscles and joints are relieved, wounds caused by work no longer hurt, and even those who are dim-sighted and deaf due to old age suddenly gain wisdom.
Tens of thousands of believers bathed in the radiance of the miracle and fell to their knees involuntarily. Many people had tears in their eyes, and some recited prayers as if they were repenting of their past sins.
"Tsk, you are really a magician!" Although the mage was disdainful, he was also surprised in his heart. It is estimated that the fellow mages who were stationed and monitored around him had a similar mentality.
"The miracles of the church... in the eyes of our mages, they are actually just a kind of magic." The mage shook his cup and said: "Their miracles are not as destructive and diverse as our mages' arcana.
It's nothing more than relying on healing spells to attract believers. Even though it's a big move now, it's nothing more than a special 'holy residence spell', which mixes the effects of 'disease removal' and 'assistance spell'. And on this scale
Miracle, there may be dozens or hundreds of magic sticks in the big sailboat now, working hard to cast spells! The magic sticks are showing off their power in front of us."
While talking, the three large sailing ships finally docked at the edge of the port, and the gangways on the shore were safely placed. First, they saw a group of battle priests wearing silver armor and white robes. Their armors were shiny, and their halberds were like a forest.
There was a sound. Behind them were scribes dressed in simple white robes, holding sacred texts in their hands, and lined up on the shore.
As the battle priest blew the horn, under the gaze of everyone, a tall old man with a white beard appeared on the edge of the deck. He was wearing a white and gold sacrificial robe, with sash fluttering in the wind, and holding a body-length platinum magic spell.
There is a golden ball on the top of the staff, which makes the staff look more like a heavy hammer held in both hands.
In addition, the old man with a white beard wore a crown, and there was a hazy light around his head. He slowly raised his hand and waved it gently towards the tens of thousands of believers. The light around him spread brightly, like another sun rising from the sea.
Rise up, the endless golden light of the rising sun shines all over the world!
…
Xuan Weizi's incarnation is holding a mirror in his hand. At this moment, he looks like an ordinary traveler, sitting on a stone by the roadside to rest, turning a blind eye to the people on the road, and the passers-by are not aware of his existence.
At this time, he suddenly heard an exclamation, and then some pedestrians shouted "miracle, miracle!"
A vast golden light between sea and land fell to its knees.
Xuan Weizi was silent for a moment, lightly swiping his finger on the mirror, and then said to the side: "Mida, what do you think?"
Mida, who also wore ordinary clothes, held a sleeping little black cat in her arms. She looked at the golden light in the distance. Her eyes flashed with silver and she said: "What a special spell. It seems to be directly connected with the positive energy."
A connection has been established on the surface, and in order to be able to be stably combined with life, a complicated and detailed weaving has been carried out. But to guide and weave such a large-scale positive energy under the conditions of on-site casting, it is probably not something that one person can do, right?"
"Don't worry about whether it can be done by one person. Just tell me, if you want to treat multiple different types of patients at the same time with one spell, where should you start?" Xuan Weizi asked.
Mida lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said: "It is best to start with the yin and yang in the body, nourish yin to strengthen the internal organs, replenish yang and resist external evils, so as to achieve an endless circulation of yin and yang in the body. But with my ability, I am afraid I can't do it."
"Transforming yin and yang, harmonizing the five internal organs, we must also consider the physiques of different people. This requires grasping the laws of vitality that are in line with the natural laws of heaven and earth. The so-called law of heaven and earth, and the mysterious entrance and aperture, all lie in this." Xuan Weizi said: "I
Although the elixir path imparted to you is for the sake of one's own longevity, all things in the world are formed by the gathering of Qi. Not only are the things in heaven and earth connected by Qi, but their achievements and fortunes are also related to each other. The so-called burden of misfortunes and blessings, and the losses and benefits of heaven and man, also lies in
this."
Mida looked at Xuan Weizi. She knew very well that before her was the incarnation of her teacher, and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, do you hope that I won't only care about my own immortality?"
"It is normal for people who practice Taoism to pursue longevity. But if you only have one life in your heart, and you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then you will not be able to pass the test of rebirth." Xuan Weizi said bluntly: "The life of immortality is not
Simply prolonging lifespan and strengthening vitality requires realizing the mystery of endless life, exploring the inner driving force and laws behind the emergence, reproduction and evolution of life, and finally transcending life and death and achieving the path of immortality.
The continuation and evolution of life in the world is precisely the embodiment of endless life and death. Therefore, if those who seek immortality want to delve into the mysteries and understand nature, they must also have the thought of protecting and valuing life. If it is to seek immortality, and plunder
For my use of all things in the heaven and earth, even to the point of causing harm to the world, is to ignore that oneself is still a natural part of the heaven and earth. It is contrary to the Tao and the law, and is created by one's own mind, which will eventually trigger all kinds of internal and external calamities to backfire."
Mida nodded silently, and Xuan Weizi smiled: "But, the life of immortality and life is not limited to the people in front of you. The world is pursuing and working hard to get what it wants, and what's more, it is greedy and greedy.
These seem to be attempts to survive, but are actually self-destructive actions. If you want to practice medical treatment, you should not let the secular trend prevail.
Furthermore, the heaven and earth are natural, and the flow of yin and yang is the great life. Even some civilized ethnic groups, for their own sake, plunder the world without end, abuse all living beings, cannibalize and devour, are the demons in the world, and are the harm to all living beings.
Punish him."
"What the teacher means is..."
"Stop, I didn't say who it is, so don't rush to judge." Xuan Weizi interrupted: "I brought you out just to let you see all the sentient beings in this world and carefully understand the specific structure and operation of society.
, understand the interactive relationship between parts and the whole, and the profound connection between ethnic society and ecological foundation, in order to in turn examine the body and mind, and regulate heaven and man. It is not enough for a cultivator to just hide in the blessed land of cave heaven."
Mida nodded in agreement, while Rosalind in her arms shook her ears and said nothing.
At this time, Xuan Weizi turned to look to the other side and asked, "Maian, what do you think of the miraculous power in the distance?"
On the other side of Xuan Weizi, stood a tall man over seven feet tall, carrying a large backpack and wearing sleeveless leather armor, revealing bronze skin and strong and slender arms. He was as handsome and majestic as a marble sculpture.
His face maintained a kind smile, but his expression was a bit stiff. When he heard Xuan Weizi's question, he said blankly:
"I feel very strong mental fluctuations, which are sent out by many humans, but they are different from the thoughts of the myconids."
Before Xuan Weizi left Evergreen City, Ma'ang had already escaped from Biyun Ruyi and reshaped his body.
As a powerful spiritual being, Maian does not need the Nine-turn Purple Gold Pill or the Daluo Chengdan. He only relies on the spiritual energy of "Star Boundary Shi" to absorb the astral body from the star realm. At the same time, with the assistance of Xuan Weizi,
Obtaining subtle information flows from the giant ruins, he created a half-giant body for himself.
That's right, Maiang is no longer a myconid today. This special being formed by the myconid tribe has successfully transformed into a living half-giant through psychic powers. Although his body is not as tall as a giant, it is still bigger than a giant.
Humans are generally much taller.
The reason why Myang originally left the Underdark, drilled through the ground, and tried to go to the ruins of ancient giants was that as a collection of myconids, his original body became an obstacle to his soul. He also asked the astral psychic for help, and the other party gave him
The answer is to go to the giant ruins to get information, turn yourself into a half-giant, and get a body that can better control your mind.
In fact, Xuan Weizi felt that the reasons given by the half-giants to Ma'ang did not have much credibility. But compared to the ancient giants, the half-giants did not even have corpses to find. How could such a race create psychic powers also made people wonder.
Xuan Weizi was very curious.
However, after Ma'ang obtained the status of a half-giant, it seemed that it still took some time to adapt, and his thinking and reaction were a bit slow, so Xuanweizi also took him all the way to the outside of New Camelot City, and occasionally explored the newly born half-giant.
