Chapter 236 Lies

Inside the palace, there were long steps. At the end of the steps, the men in black were flanked by each other. Bishop John continued to guide me. In the great palace, on which stood a number of clerics of all colours, and on a throne separated by a veil, sat a tall man, behind whom could be seen several others of even greater stature.

The clergy stared at me as I passed through them. When he reached the steps leading to the throne, Bishop John stopped. Kneeling on the ground, he said loudly, "Your Majesty, the guest from afar is here."

"Said the man on the throne. When Bishop John retired to his place, I bowed.

"Chief, please kneel before the God." "A cleric shouted.

I didn't answer. The god waved his hand from behind the veil.

After a long time, he said, "Are you a guest from another world?"

"It's me."

"Where are you from?"

"The island of Cuckoo, my kingdom."

"Oh, you're a king."

"Sort of."

Then I saw a man coming and whispered something to god. God asked, "Before you became a king, did you live in the east of the world?"

See him so discerning goods, I also readily up: "yes, there called China. The fathers of the gods must have known the place."

"Since you are from China, do you know what dao is?"

Tao?

"Yes, the Tao. The way of an ancient sage."

When he said that, I understood that he should be talking about Taoism founded by Lao Tzu. In order to make him think that I was a useful person, I raised my voice and said haughtily: "I not only know, I am also a practitioner of tao."

"Oh..." His voice took on an immediate tinge of excitement. "How far have you come?"

This question is a bit of a puzzle, we can have some contact and understanding of Taoist knowledge in our daily life, but the higher end of the question, how do ordinary people know. Fortunately, I have read some fantasy novels, they borrowed the cultivation level of the answer: "I have been yuan ying level."

"How long will it be before you learn?"

"Far from it, enlightenment must go through ten cycles, each cycle needs to be subjected to the test of lightning strike, called the disaster. If you succeed, you will enter a higher level of enlightenment. If you fail, your soul will be shattered."

"What grade is that baby?"

"Level three." I don't know what level it is, I can only rely on the general memory nonsense.

The god sighed, and someone came up to him again. He immediately ordered the others to leave the hall.

As the others filed out, the doors were closed one by one, and inside were innumerable lamps, the light never dull.

The hall became audible with falling needles, and the god who sat behind his veil got up and left.

This made me feel very strange. Was he going to leave me here alone?

Fortunately, this fear was put to an end when a man in black stepped out from behind the veil.

He came forward and said, "The god wants to see you. Please follow me."

This change means a face-to-face meeting, and I'd love to see what the gods look like. Follow him through the doors. Entering a large room, I finally caught sight of a masked man dressed in red. He was sitting in a chair. He was white except for his neck. And a young man.

The man in black led me to the front of the god and brought me a chair to sit on.

There was still a veil behind the god, and the more mysterious men were still sitting in it.

To deter them, I said, "I know that the ancestors of the gods came from the West of the old world, and that they came here to do certain things on the orders of a Fuhrer, and that some of them came here after discovering the secrets of the world. Are they the so-called creators?"

"You want to know a lot?" God not xu not disease asked.

"I know at least half the story of the Creator," I said.

"And have you told anyone about it?" Some progress was evident in his tone.

"Of course not, except that I have been where the Creators have been."

The god nodded. "I knew you had come from the forbidden land. It was the only way into our world. Did you kill all the servants I sent there?"

"Be." I respond directly.

The god gasped. Then the man behind the veil asked in an old voice, "Have you been sent by the Fuhrer?"

"No, the Fuhrer committed suicide more than sixty years ago. You don't have to worry about him sending men after you."

I saw the god lighten up. "Thank you for keeping our secret and bringing us such important news. Who is this saint you seek?"

The question caught me off guard and I hesitated for a moment before saying, "My wife. She is no longer a virgin and is not worthy of your dedication to the Creator. If you persist, I guarantee you will destroy the seven Creators."

I don't know exactly how they would offer the saints to the Creator, what they would do. But the good news is erin told me a lot. Plus they would ask me questions about Taoism whenever WE met. It made me realize that maybe they encountered a force in this world that didn't exist in the old world, and that force made them give up science and return to superstition. The purpose of their building of the Temple was probably to resurrect all the seven dead demiurge gods.

No matter what the truth is, in order to rescue Li Wanxue I have to try, but also have to speak with certainty.

"You seem to know everything about our world?"

"I am a monk, and I am already a baby. I have insight that most people don't have."

"So you came to us to take your wife?" A woman's voice came from behind the veil.

"This is the case, not against you."

"Since you are a Enlightened man and know the secrets of our world. How dare we let you leave?"

I stood up and said, "Of course we can't leave unarmed, but I think I can be useful to you. I'm going to give you some help in answering your questions. Will you give me this in exchange for letting us leave? And we promise that from now on, we will take the forbidden land as our boundary and not interfere with each other."

The god began to meditate, and his attendants went behind the veil to talk to several mystics. He told the gods what he was doing.

God then said, "Since you have the ability to pass through the two worlds, how can we trust you? In the future, you will not bring people from the original world to destroy us here."

"You can rest assured of that. The world outside the forbidden land is not the same world. It is also a hidden world, and returning to it is not easy. I came to the world outside the forbidden land by accident in the course of my monasticism. Tell a lie, need a series of lies to justify themselves.

"Oh?" The god was surprised. "How did you know?"

"That's easy. We didn't see anyone from the original world until we came here. And we never made it back. We have also seen abandoned aircraft and human remains in your forbidden territory."

God oh 1, in the mind seems to have a number.

"I heard you found creator's weapons in the forbidden land?" "Asked the man behind the veil.

"Yes, but we are nearly out of ammunition. I had a pistol with me when I followed your men, and I lost it on the way. I was going to give it to the gods as a gift."

"Since the chief can't go back, can't you call your men?"

"Of course not. I have thousands of men under my command, and tens of thousands of my people. You've brought them all. You can't put them there."

"It's not that hard." The man behind the veil continued, "We can give you the earth of the castle to live in. You can be our equal, chief. It's a good deal."

I laughed to myself, these guys think I'm a fool. When I bring my own people here, they'll swallow them all up, and I'll be killed.

I sighed, pretending to be embarrassed to say; "That's all very well, but I can't do it. The men who followed me have returned, and they will choose a new leader. They're not gonna listen to me anymore.Even if I go back with my wife now, I can only be a civilian."

"Then let the chief stay with us." God spoke.

I nodded and readily agreed, "Of course I can stay as long as you give me back my wife. You have abandoned the old faith and taken refuge in the Tao.
