"Little Grace, do you want some dumplings? Freshly baked dumplings put into the dimensional bag!"

"Little Grace, don't fight the undead, let me do it!"

"Little Grace..."

Louis looked at Livia with a headache.

really.

The thing he feared most happened.

This woman, Livia, looks like a gentle queen, and even gives people a soft and sticky feeling.

But after actual contact, you will find that this is actually a very strong woman, and she has an overly strong desire to protect Grace, who suffers from social anxiety.

Fortunately, she didn't look like she was doing this under orders from the Church of the God of Glory and Justice.

It's more like I simply like that child.

That's right.

For the priests of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice, all the shining points of the future saint should be the beautiful qualities they most recognize.

This is especially true for people who are more devout in their faith.

But it was another person who surprised Louis.

William said with a dark face:

"When will you change this bad habit of yours?"

Fabrico Holm, the main attacker of the Nanfeiyan team, snorted coldly: "Everything is for love and justice! William, even the souls of the living dead should be redeemed. Killing them directly is a bad idea."

William refuted mercilessly: "That's why your team was defeated by us back then. After so many years, how come you still don't understand such a simple truth?"

Fabrico shook his head and said nothing more. He just walked towards a rampaging undead in front of him, opened his arms and hugged them urgently: "Go to sleep, no one will persecute you anymore."

He said calmly.

As the words fell, a warm light spread over the raging souls.

The ghost's expression gradually became confused, then returned to calm, and finally slowly disappeared into the air.

Louis turned his head and looked at William: "He used to be like this?"

William said with a dark face:

"It's been years. This guy always talks about 'believe first.'"

"Whether they are the living dead or the undead, they are all enemies of living things. How could he not understand such a simple truth?"

Louis added:

"You know him?"

William nodded:

"I used to be in the same class with him, so we can be considered... half friends?"

"Oh, my dear William, I am very sad when you say that. We are partners in cooperation and competition with each other!"

Fabrico exclaimed.

William turned around and said:

"Now do you understand why it's half?"

Louis nodded.

Reasonable, this is so damn reasonable.

Fabrico is the one with the highest professional level in Nan Feiyan, and his pure fighting power is even higher than that of Nan Feiyan’s captain Livia.

However, his philosophy is very different from William's.

As soon as they met, they started bickering with each other.

The funniest thing is that the conversations between these two people often contain some strange content, such as...

"Eliminate all evil. If you encounter the undead, you should kill them all and not give them any chance to harm civilians."

“Believe first!”

"Believe it, you're stronger than a warrior. You used so much strength to hold the dead souls and save them!"

"My good brother, you are too vulgar. This is not loving God."

"Look at your muscles first. Didn't you say you had to believe first? Then why do you have so many muscles?"

"I'm afraid they won't believe it when they receive the call of the God of Love."

Louis: ??? A video of a young Taoist practicing Tai Chi that he had seen in his previous life came to his mind.

The Taoist priest exposed a bunch of thick thigh muscles while practicing Tai Chi, and it was obvious that his lower body was very stable.

A netizen asked: Isn't it said that Tai Chi is about using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force? The Taoist replied: I'm afraid they won't lend it to me.

Good job.

When anyone thinks of believers in the God of Love, the first thing that comes to mind is that group of cute young ladies.

Who would have thought that the believers of the God of Love in this team were actually muscular men with full bodies of tendons and full physical enlightenment abilities.

This style of painting is quite subtle.

Especially every time the two of them were clearing out evil spirits.

One scolded the other, "It's bullshit to strangle the dead to death. What do you think of it?"

One said to the other party, "It's too loveless to just kill the dead soul, they should try to comfort him first."

The two of them could argue about this for half an hour.

Louis was quite curious about these priests.

Since he came into this world, the pastor he had come into contact with most often was Grace.

But Grace is special.

She had not received orthodox priestly training, and it was difficult for Louis to use her as a model for other priests.

Fortunately, today is the first day, and the two teams are mainly working together.

On the first day, everyone cooperated very well.

It can be said that the cooperation between the two teams finally has some semblance of a systematic team operation.

Louis discovered it, too.

This group of pastors are probably the outstanding young backbones of various orthodox churches.

To put it bluntly, the age difference between them is not that big.

But everyone's professional levels are quite close.

This level of professionalism is not something that an ordinary priest can possess.

It should be said that anyone who can approach Louis' level can be called a genius.

After today's battle, Katrin Haring, who was from the Church of the God of Death and Sleep, said:

"We all had a pleasant cooperation today. Are you interested in going out for a drink?"

Everyone agreed.

The main reason was that Louis also wanted to know about the situation of the major churches.

Although these chosen ones in the church are not of such a high professional level, their understanding of the church's inside information even exceeds that of many high-level paragons.

However, this time when they returned to the Adventurer's Guild to drink, no one talked in detail.

Louis didn't want to reveal his identity.

I don't want to alert the enemy.

Especially the Church of Love.

After the trip to Tunisia, Louis listed the Church of Eros as a key target for observation.

Not many people know what can go wrong with the God of Love.

But those who know the situation are extremely taboo about it.

If you really ask about the situation directly, it will easily cause trouble.

As she drank, Katrin, who came from the Church of Death, showed a look of distress on her face:

"These undead souls are too scattered. With the combat power of our two teams, we can definitely purify more undead souls in one go."

"I plan to ask an old priest to come over to help us receive the dead. The focus of this mission is to train our ability to deal with the dead. The church has specifically emphasized this."

Inside the helmet, Louis narrowed his eyes.

Did the church specifically emphasize this? If so, that would be interesting.

But he didn't ask, he just said: "If that's the case, then both teams must be present. If we don't have enough people, the gathering of the undead will still be very dangerous."

"Yes, exactly, that's why we want to work with you."

"Among the teams that are relatively easy to communicate with, your Moonlit Cat Group is the one that best meets our needs."

Everyone in the Moonlight Cat Group nodded.

Anyway, for Alice, it doesn't matter as long as she can kill as many people as she wants.

the next day.

Location: The border between the suburbs and grasslands

The person who was called over was an old pastor.

The old priest didn't say much. He immediately used the secret method of the Church of the Lord of Death and Sleep to gather the surrounding undead towards the crowd.

He did not turn around, but said with his back to Katrin:

"Child, the God of Death and Sleep teaches us to believe in God's ideas instead of blindly trusting God. God is in your heart."

“If you want to go further on the professional path, you must first understand your true heart.”

"Especially when it comes to dealing with the undead, you still have a lot to learn..."

Louis didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two at first, but soon his expression changed.

"Is this... a secret method to increase spiritual power?"

This old pastor is so generous that he actually teaches on the spot. Isn’t he afraid that others will learn it?

As soon as Louis had this thought in his mind, he heard the old pastor's voice:

"Just listen if you want to. This is no secret to you."

Good job.

The pastor is so generous!

With his greedy desire for knowledge, he quickly learned the basics of this type of spiritual practice.

Louis finally understood why the old pastor wanted to teach him this precious secret method directly.

To put it simply, the undead they are targeting, especially creatures like the Undead and the Phantom, can directly affect people's spirit and even their soul.

Therefore, it is very important to know how to resist this kind of spiritual pollution.

As he was thinking, he didn't notice that the pattern of the Sin Dragon Armor had quietly emerged in his mind.

A suppressed psychic energy surged through his body, as if it was replacing the nutrients delivered by his blood vessels.

In a trance, he recalled some things from the past.

That was what he heard by chance from a Taoist friend.

He said:

“Have you read Journey to the West?”

Louis replied, "Yes."

"Journey to the West is actually a person's spiritual practice."

"Sun Wukong is a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch in the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave. The Slanting Moon and Three Stars are the hook of the heart, and the Three Stars are the three points of the heart."

"So Sun Wukong is the disciple of the heart, a restless heart that shuttles back and forth between good and evil in heaven and on earth."

"The Shurangama Sutra says that the mind has seventy-two aspects, and Wukong also has seventy-two transformations."

"The hearts of people are very fickle, changing seventy-two times in an instant."

"The 81 Difficulties of the Emperor says that a person breathes 13,500 times a day and night, and the golden cudgel weighs 13,500 kilograms."

"So the golden hoop is qi."

"What is it that can reach up to the thirty-three heavens and down to the eighteen levels of hell, that is so big that it can reach the sky, and that is so small that it can be as small as an embroidery needle?"

“It’s the spirit of a man.”

"Refining the mind can make one's mind and eyes bright, so the Eight Trigrams Furnace could not burn Wukong to death, but instead allowed me to refine my eyes into golden pupils."

"Goku's eyes are bright, which symbolizes the bright eyes of the heart."

"And even though Wukong could travel 108,000 miles with one somersault, he could not escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand."

"The palm turned into the Five Elements Mountain and suppressed Wukong."

"The five elements symbolize the secular elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and also symbolize greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt in Buddhism."

"The Buddha said that these five words summarize the physical form and mind of all people."

"When Old Sun was causing chaos in the sky, he was trapped by these five poisons."

"However, many of the disciples of the Three Pure Ones thought they had gained enlightenment and practiced 'precepts, concentration, and wisdom', but in the end they still could not get rid of 'greed, anger, and ignorance'."

"It is because they do not understand the nature of greed, anger and delusion."

"So when the five masters and apprentices wanted to eliminate the demons on the way to the West, they actually meant to eliminate the demons in their own hearts."

"Behind the Five Elements Mountain is the Two Realms Mountain."

"And Wukong can reach Lingshan Mountain with one somersault cloud. This means that no matter how far Lingshan Mountain is, it is only a thought away."

"Because Lingshan is in our hearts, seeking scriptures refers to the process of cultivating the mind."

"So, in Journey to the West, Chapter 24, Tang Monk asked: 'Wukong, when do you say we will arrive?'"

"The traveler replied: 'You can walk from childhood to old age, and then be a child again, even if you are old and young again a thousand times, it is still difficult. As long as you see the nature and are sincere, wherever you look back, you will reach the sacred mountain.'"

"When Tang Monk first set out on his journey to seek Buddhist scriptures, Zen Master Wuchao taught him the Heart Sutra and told him, 'The Buddha is in Lingshan, don't look for him far away; Lingshan is in your heart.'"

"But Tang Seng didn't understand what it meant at the time. It was not until he arrived at Lingshan Mountain and the monk enlightened him that he finally understood."

“The heart awakens itself, and all the inner demons are eliminated, which is enlightenment.”

In a trance.

Those conversations echoed in Louis' mind.

Louis looked a little confused, but soon realized that something was wrong.

He said to his Taoist friend very bluntly: "Are you sure you are not the two trees under Zhou Shuren?"

——It means that I suspect he is imagining too much.

The Taoist friend shook his head helplessly:

"You are wrong. This is not my imagination. This is the material for my novel."

Louis' face darkened.

But the Taoist friend laughed and said:

"Then look at what I am."

Only then did Louis realize that there seemed to be a layer of mist on the face of his Taoist friend.

When the fog dissipated, the Taoist's true appearance was finally revealed.

There is no difference between him and Louis.

Only then did Louis remember.

Where did he get any Taoist friends? If he did have any, they would be friends who cosplay as female Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest looked at his dazed expression and chuckled, "Fool, don't you already have a sacred mountain? Why don't you wake up?"

Louis paused

In an instant, the surrounding scene spun around.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had stopped at some point.

Everyone was looking at him in surprise.

Especially the old pastor, he looked at Louis as if he had seen a ghost.

"You have already understood the secret of spiritual power?"

Louis glanced at him, and soon his eyes were attracted by something else.

He felt that his spirit seemed to have undergone a great change at this moment.

It's like being reborn.

Although his career level had not yet broken through, the feeling that his essence seemed to have changed touched him even more deeply.

It was as if he had touched upon some higher realm without realizing it.

"What's wrong with me?"

He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in his body was extremely active.

It was so active that it shocked him.

In a trance, he remembered that the psychic itself is a profession that "polishes the mind."

Just now, after learning the old pastor's special method, he seemed to have started the process of polishing his soul in an instant? The old pastor of the Church of Death and Sleep stared at Louis:

"Do you know what you just did?"

Failure diary: 　　…Originally, A Luo’s condition had improved a lot, but as if things didn’t get worse, A Luo’s kitten had to go to the hospital for stitches, which really affected my mentality while writing.

Let me take some time to observe. If nothing else, I will try to make up for today's gap tomorrow.

My mentality exploded and I couldn't write at all. I barely managed to write 4,000 words to continue the plot.
