Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 584 Snowballing

Bang, bang, bang.

"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty to nine. Divide it into two to symbolize two, hang one to symbolize three..."

Three copper coins were thrown into the copper plate in front of him for the sixth time. They rolled a few times and finally fell flat on the copper plate.

The fortune teller with a round face and a slightly chubby face saw the three coins on the plate. He breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then heaved a nervous breath and pushed the small black round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose upward, revealing a pair of brown-black eyes. , staring intently at the position of the three copper coins.

After reading it, he hurriedly took the small draft book just now, grabbed the charcoal pen and wrote the sixth hexagram on it.

"...the upper hexagram is Kan, and the lower hexagram is Dui, which is upper water and lower lake, and is the "Shuize Festival" hexagram...The upper hexagram is Zhen, and the lower hexagram is Kan. It is the upper hexagram and lower water, which is the "Thunder Water Jie" hexagram. .”

"Thunder water solution hexagram?"

The round-faced fortune teller rolled his eyes and showed a little joy on his face. After thinking about it for a moment, he came up with the knowledge he was familiar with in his mind: "It's actually a good fortune! It shakes up and down, it's like thunder, and it's like thunder. The combination of rain and thunderstorms transforms and nurtures all things, which is the hexagram image of the hexagram."

Bu Suanzi thought about it again, his brows lit up with joy, and his eyes narrowed together:
"This hexagram is really good! It has the meaning of winter turning to spring, spring thunder ringing, and the river thawing. It also corresponds to the current season... What good thing is going to happen? I am calculating the future market in the temple. There is actually a sign of rejuvenation. Could it be that the house I have been unable to talk about before is finally being sold to me? My senior brother has finally found a job. The stock he calculated is about to rise. The big boss who came to calculate it before is still thinking of me. Now that we are here, we want to donate tens of thousands to the Taoist temple, or will the Taoist temple finally have new disciples coming to worship?"

After talking to himself for a while, he calmed down a little, put his small round sunglasses back on, touched his round chin and muttered:
"In the future, I don't know whether it will be tomorrow or next year, but good things are always good. It seems that there will indeed be some changes in the world."

"That's all, let's not think about that much for now, I can't continue to lose my precious copper coins..."

Bu Suanzi was happy for a moment, and then he picked up the ancient copper coins on the copper plate one by one. The words "Tongbao" were vaguely engraved in ancient characters on them, as well as other complicated traces. They were all treasures discovered by archeology. baby.

His master's master used these copper coins, saying that they were good things brought from a certain ruins. They were very long ago and were considered extremely precious antiquities in the "previous era".It's a pity that their Tianzun lineage has no chance to join the Tao, and they can't sense the location of Tianzun. The limit of being able to become a Taoist who enters the palace is the limit. Even if they want to find a place to die, they can't find it. In the end, they will inevitably die of old age.

After hundreds of years, not much money has been accumulated, but these items have been passed down from generation to generation.

The fat Taoist put the copper coins into a small black cloth bag close to his body, patted it, and whispered to himself:

"Tianji suddenly donated money to renovate Guanli and canceled all previous debts. There must be something fishy. Unfortunately, we can't figure it out. He must have seen something or encountered something in the otherworldly place over there, but They didn’t even share any information with us. There was also the matter about the successor of that day, which I read for a while but didn’t say anything about. I wanted to ask for advice, but the result was that I was told to retreat and meditate. Old Yangtou is really hateful..."

If he hadn't encountered something related to Tianzun, why would he suddenly be nice to us?
"...I'll try him again in two days. I heard that they have launched a new mechanism puppet. I don't know if any of them are suitable for me."

With that said, he stood up, tidied up his divination site, cleaned the surrounding area, and then placed fresh fruits and melons on the table in front of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at the brand new mahogany altar table. The Taoist temple had just been painted with white putty the day before yesterday. He clicked his tongue for a moment, reached out and took out three sticks of incense sticks from his arms, and inserted his hands into the small bronze cauldron.

The faceless statue in the shrine seemed to be looking at him, as well as at the gate behind him and the old well in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, God, bless the younger generations..."

Bu Suanzi muttered a few words, not thinking about what he was asking for.

Tianzun has never responded, and his master, uncle, and master have tried their best to shake the seal set by this ancestor. This small Taoist temple has been passed down for so many generations, and the people in the temple basically regard worshiping Tianzun as a way of life. got used to.

Go and beg the Patriarch Lu Ban next door, maybe he can really get better at his craftsmanship. Tianzun is like a bottomless pit, and you can't even hear a sound when you drop a coin.

When he thought that the old man Tianji who had traveled to a place outside the world might actually see the ancestor he worshiped there, Bu Suanzi felt a little hopeful, curious, and unimaginable. If this ancestor was really here, what would happen to him in the future? How to get along.

"That's all, please protect me so that when my disciple comes back in the evening, no one will steal the melons that are frozen in the well. If you are really out of this world, can you give me a clear message when you have some free time?"

The fat Taoist laughed. After laughing, he picked up his "iron-cut" white cloth flag, carried it on a long bench, straightened his long indigo cloth coat, and went out leisurely while humming a little tune.

When passing by the small pond in the yard, Bu Suanzi grabbed half a piece of white rice cake that he had not finished eating in the morning from the belt hanging on his waist, broke it into pieces and fed it to the koi in the pond. He looked at the palm-sized fish for a while The crowd looked like they were fighting for the pastry crumbs with their mouths open, and by the way, they shared two pieces of fruit candies on the small blue and white porcelain plate in front of the golden toad sculpture placed on the fountain in the pool.

"Our fortune next year will depend on you again! I'll treat you to something good at the end of the year. My senior brother only knows how to spend money but doesn't make money. If I ask him to help with the work of delivering letters and freight, he will be embarrassed. A long time ago..."

"Alas! They are such a wealthy family. They travel and study all day long. When they have time, they can study more about seals and secret techniques. It would be great to support their family with me."

After Bu Suanzi said this earnestly, he stood up, walked out of the gate of the Taoist temple, and walked down the mountain along the long steps paved with bluestone slabs.

He took a step forward, and the evergreen pines and cypresses behind him moved closer to the center, and the steps he walked disappeared step by step.

When he came down the mountain, there was only the dirt road on the hillside behind him, and the quiet Taoist temple in the mountain seemed to be just an illusion.

……

Seeing that Audrey was willing to try to investigate, Hermes nodded lightly and said:
"The detailed information will be given to you later, but I must remind you that this matter is quite dangerous, and you must not be careless."

At this point, He paused and said kindly:

"If you encounter an accident that cannot be solved by yourself, you can try to call my name, or chant the Lord's name for help. Of course, you'd better try to notify me, because the presence of the Lord may cause some other things to happen there. Variety."

"He...will actually respond to my request for help?"

Hermes groaned and said something very strange:
"His authority is not complete, his influence is limited, and he will not respond to everything, except for the protection period of the Beloved Beginner."

...Audrey was not surprised at all when she heard such incomprehensible words from this elderly angel. At some point, the image of Hermes in her heart had become "a... A friendly and generous senior with some out-of-the-box thinking."This may have been deliberately shown by Hermes, but Audrey didn't hate the other person's personality.

As for the process of calling for help by honoring one's name, she was also familiar with it, and she directly decided to ask Hermes for help before taking action.

She did not expect that God, like Mr. Fool, would really respond to the requests of some believers - or that the secrets hidden in this village related to dragon worship were quite interesting to Him and the Psychological Alchemy Society. Why is it important?
Hermes did not explain, but instead said:
"As a member of the jury, you are supposed to be in charge of a '1' level sealed object, but you have just entered this ranks and you still need a period of investigation. Moreover, you can also find what you need in the next actions. Make up for the shortcomings, and then apply for similar items from the church or the Psychological Alchemy Society. However, you have the privilege of temporary requisition after joining the Twilight Hermit Society."

The benefits and status are quite impressive, the tasks are difficult, and the rewards are acceptable.After I get back, I'll try to make a plan... Audrey asked while nodding.

"Then how do I get in here without your invitation?"

Hermes pointed to the illusory masks on the table:
"From this time on, you can take your own persona out of the city."

"Those who have masks are all members of the Psychological Alchemy Society. No matter where you are, as long as there are at least two humans around you, well, except for yourself, you can enter the city by wearing the corresponding personality mask."

"And the seven personas themselves are illusory, closely connected with some of your cognitions, and don't need to be preserved in a special way. As long as you want, you can take it out of the sea of ​​collective subconscious around you at any time."

The use of mind and consciousness is also beyond my imagination. Just the way of existence and entry of this place, as well as the virtual persona made of some kind of enhanced "cognitive personality", are enough for me to study for a long time... ...Audrey nodded slightly:

"I will wait patiently for the inspection period to end."

"You are not easily angry at all." Hermes commented with a smile.

"Just keep it like this, Audrey, you are also a very good master of psychology and will not be overly disturbed by a virtual personality."

After discussing the matter about the psychic dragon in East Chester County, Hermes simply answered a few questions raised by Audrey.As a pioneer in psychology and a veteran of mysticism, Audrey gained a lot from his guidance. She listened very carefully and shared some of her own experiences from time to time.

"Okay, that's it for today."

After a while, Hermes glanced at his wrist, where a quartz clock hung: "It has been an hour. Miss Montemar may be waiting for you to go back for dinner." Audrey subconsciously wanted to get up. He bowed and said goodbye, but quickly came to his senses and continued to sit there. After Hermes stood up, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she asked curiously:
"Sir, what is the name of this city?"

"Yes." Hermes said with a smile, "This place is called the Garden of Eden... However, this should soon become a common name."

Garden of Eden... Audrey asked thoughtfully:
"Is it because God's Kingdom of Heaven is actually called Eden? So what would it change to if it were renamed?"

Hermes nodded and recalled:

"The other old guys in the Twilight Hermits have been discussing it for almost a week, and it makes my ears feel calloused. Someone recommended calling it 'Bethlehem' or 'Jerusalem', which is said to be the name of the Lord of Faith found in the ancient old world. "Sodom" and "Gomorrah" were recommended as the names of the holy cities. Then we studied for a while and found that these are the names of evil cities that rebel against the Lord..."

As Hermes spoke, he scratched his hair in distress, stepped onto the carriage, and complained to Audrey:
"The decision has not been finalized yet. I have nominated a few, but no one seems interested."

Audrey couldn't say anything, so she could only keep a polite smile.

After a while, they took the carriage they came from and drove out of the "Garden of Eden", returning to the Cathedral of Light's garden full of sunflowers.

"Let's go back and write a letter to Mr. Richard first, and then talk to Irena about the area I will be responsible for in the future. By the way, I have to think carefully about whether to get a new identity. After all, that village is the land of the Hall family. If If I changed my identity, it might not be convenient for me to investigate."

"If I want to go to Loen, then the area I am responsible for will definitely be temporarily managed by Irena, which can be regarded as my reward..."

Audrey turned around slowly, thinking as she walked along the path towards the cathedral.

……

"Teacher Dorian, just send it here."

Forsi stood at the gate of the Abraham family mansion, holding in her hand the ticket that sent her there.The words "Backlund → Trier" on the front of the ticket have faded, but the ink on the back of the ticket "Trier → Backlund" still has stars twinkling faintly.

I really should have paid attention, how could there be a direct train between the two capitals?

Now Forsi has become a Sequence 5 "traveler" in just one year, and he no longer has to risk his life listening to the contents of the "Full Moon Rumblings" like the previous students after promotion, and can live in peace. ,growing up,
Dorian looked at his most proud student and felt that the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked at him, the more reluctant he was to part with him.He no longer had any siblings or children. Forsi was reciprocal and kind. Dorian had already vaguely regarded Forsi as his heir.

"Ok."

Dorian calmed down and said calmly: "Actually, I want to keep you here for a few more days. After you go back, you have to think more about how to play the 'traveler', what you don't understand, and the mysticism." If you have any knowledge on the Internet, you can write to me and ask me.”

"By the way, you can actually consider going to the spirit world yourself to find a messenger. This is a good challenge for you."

"I have put the ritual of summoning the messenger together with those travel notes for you. You can read it when you go back. In addition, wandering in the spiritual world is also an excellent way to travel. A 'traveller' will often enter it personally. The spirit world selects messengers, but don’t forget the taboos involved. Once danger arises, leave in time and don’t stay in the spirit world for too long.”

Forsi's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he nodded and said, "Okay."

Dorian nodded, and after a few seconds, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Forsi, you told me before that you wanted to visit a friend who currently lives in Trier, aren't you going?"

Forsi was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Miss "Justice" Audrey who voluntarily left the Tarot Society, she felt a little sad for a moment and sighed:
"That friend has left and it is not convenient for me to visit her."

"Sorry for asking about your sadness."

"It's okay, teacher." Forsi gathered her flaxen shawl and pinned the brooch given by Dorian to her chest.She hugged the Trier pastries and other gifts that she was going to take back to share with Hugh, and waved goodbye to Dorian again.

She poured her spirituality into the ticket in her hand, and the next moment, just like when she came, a sudden blue light engulfed her.The powerful pulling feeling instantly took her to the spiritual world and left Trier.

After Forsi left, Dorian also left the mansion in a carriage. He was already busy.

In the evening, Dorian passed by the port of Trier. When he was buying a newspaper, he looked up and happened to see a passenger ship entering the Lane River pier. A young man with black hair and green eyes carrying a suitcase got off the ship.Among the ordinary passengers, this young man with outstanding appearance, tall figure, and very kind-hearted appearance was very eye-catching. When Dorian saw him getting off the boat, several vendors selling their goods immediately surrounded him.

But his eyes were dazzled. The figure of the green-eyed young man suddenly disappeared and reappeared a few meters away.

The green-eyed young man was adjusting his wrinkled clothes, and their eyes met by chance.The green-eyed young man smiled at Dorian, and then his figure suddenly distorted again, not only disappearing from the place, but also completely disappearing from Dorian's spiritual intuition.

... Dorian felt awe-struck and could no longer read the newspaper leisurely. He bought a pancake for dinner and hurriedly left the dock.

……

"Old man, do you know that person just now?"

Leonard disembarked, bought a mayonnaise bun, and whispered to Pales in his mind.

"He is an 'apprentice', a junior of the Abraham family. Now that Bethel Abraham has returned, it is best not to have anything to do with them... If there is no one you want to visit in Trier, just take tonight's boat and leave. Bar."

"Don't rush us, we just arrived." Leonard took another big bite of bread. The freshly baked bread was soft and moist, with a lot of mayonnaise in the middle. It was not only nutritious, but also tasted very good.As soon as he took a bite, the aroma of wheat and the sweet and sour taste of the special mayonnaise filled his mouth, which immediately made Leonard feel a little fond of this city he came to for the first time.

"This wheat bread seems to taste much better than Runen's..."

Leonard carried the box and walked to the ticket office at the pier, thinking vaguely: "The same goes for the wheat bread on the ship. The wheat from Intis is better than the variety from Loen? Or is it because it's freshly baked? It's so delicious..."

While eating, he counted out a few banknotes from his pocket and prepared to hand them to the dock staff to buy the next boat ticket.

TBC

Emlyn did not return to the Harvest Church immediately. He walked alone in the streets of Backlund for a long time before he finally suppressed the emotions in his heart.

By this time, as a demigod, he was able to realize that something was wrong with his state anyway.

"My emotions are tilting in the negative direction, and my hatred and anger are amplified... The archbishop is right. There should be quite powerful extraordinary power interference in Backlund, and those believers cannot discover their own mentality problems. , so they did impulsive things one after another, and their casualties aroused greater hatred, and it just kept snowballing..."

"This no longer seems like something that the 'audience' would do. Instead, it should be something that demons, hunters, witches, or even the group of 'madmen' who believe in the original moon could do. But the madmen should not have done this. A strategic brain..."

But what can I do if I know?
He, a demigod, was quietly affected, proving that the other party was far more powerful than him, at least at the angel level!

"...I must go back to the Harvest Church immediately and brew a large amount of medicine to calm the mind. No matter whether it has any effect or not, at least it will provide some relief..."

Emlyn immediately turned around and walked towards the pharmacy, preparing to buy some raw materials and seeds, but before he had gone far, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

"Excuse me, looking at your clothes, you should be a priest of the Church of the Mother Earth, right?"

Emlyn turned around and saw a Loen man with glasses and dark brown hair, who was looking at him with a complicated expression.Seeing Emlyn turn around, the other party adjusted his glasses, pointed to the east, and said in embarrassment:
"...Mr. Father, you Feneport people heard that a bishop of the Mother Earth Church was taken away for speaking for them. Now he is storming the Holy Wind Cathedral, trying to get them to release him. Is this true or false? ? Do you want to go take a look?"

Emlyn was stunned.

After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his wings, and like a dark light, he rushed along the street towards the Holy Wind Cathedral under the dim sky.
