When the first ray of sunlight hit the top of the statue, the leading high priest began to recite the words of prayer.

Shi Nian was worried at first that she didn't know how to pray and would accidentally reveal her secret.

Unexpectedly, the language of these prayers is very brief.

And when the high priest said the last sentence, he would pause.

After the high priest stopped, several priests chanted in unison.

Then there are the spirit boys and the spirit girls.

Finally, the dense crowd below also began to pray.

Everyone made a sound at the same time, and the sound spread throughout the city.

Then comes the second prayer, and the third prayer.

It’s still like this layer by layer.

After all the prayers were over, the high priest took out a bottle of water and slowly sprinkled it on the crowd.

Then, everyone rushed forward like crazy, trying to get splashed by the water.

Several high priests poured bottles of water one after another and announced the end of this morning's prayer.

Shi Nian followed the example of other priests and slowly retreated.

After getting off the high platform, the other priests dispersed.

Shi Nian stood for a while, but no one came to see her.

She returned to the room along the same route.

She just left in a hurry. She hadn't taken a good look at Chen Yue's room yet, so she could look around to see if there were any other clues.

Back in the room, Shi Nian searched again.

Although he is a priest, which sounds like he has a good status, Chenyue's life is very simple. Apart from a bed, a table, and a chair, there is nothing extra in the room.

Shi Nian searched around, and when she touched under the pillow, she couldn't help but express her expression.

She touched a jade slip.

"Xiao Tong, check it out."

Xiao Tong checked it out and said, "This is an encrypted jade slip. Only the owner of the jade slip can open it. If anyone else wants to see what's inside, the jade slip will self-destruct on the spot."

Can I open it myself?

Shi Nian used the power of faith in his body and indeed opened the jade slip.

She had just explored the contents of the jade slip and was slightly stunned.

This jade slip is filled with densely packed notes.

There are only three words on it.

"who am I?"

Some of these three words were written in ink, and sometimes they were written in blood.

The most recent words are all written in blood.

There are a few traces that are the freshest, all written in blood.

Xiao Tong couldn't help but panic in his heart: "Host, why do you feel a little scary?"

The newer the traces of these three words are, the more twisted they are written, looking like symbols from hell.

Shi Nian was not afraid, but she still frowned.

She thought that she seemed to know the cause of Chenyue's death.

In this world where everyone believes in the God of Thousands of Machines, Chenyue seems to be doubting all of this.

Her fervent belief made her doubt her own existence.

She doesn't know who she is or what the meaning of her existence is.

It was as if she was born to live to believe in the God of Thousands of Machines.

It might just be a small suspicion at the beginning, but as she questions the world, she questions herself more and more.

The power of faith that came from faith also began to bite back.

Finally one day, she died silently in the room.

The power of faith...

Shi Nian narrowed his eyes, this may not be a good thing.

The high priest just now said that he would cancel the power of her faith for three months.For her, it should still be a good thing.

By evening.

Another prayer came.

After this prayer.

The high priest took out a censer.

The three high priests first absorbed the spreading smoke in front of the incense burner.

Then it was the turn of each priest.

Naturally, Shi Nian was not qualified to absorb it because he was punished.After all the priests had absorbed it, it was the turn of the other soul boys and girls.

A group of practitioners divided up all the power of faith generated by the people.

At the end, the high priest glanced at Shi Nian and said calmly: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Are you dissatisfied?"

Shi Nian quickly shook his head.

The high priest looked at Shi Nian expressionlessly: "You can take the quota for the penance this time. Make preparations tomorrow and set off immediately. Come back to the temple in three months."

Penance quota?

What is this.

Shi Nian didn't dare to show any signs, but just responded respectfully.

The high priest gave her a cold look, said no more, turned around and left.

Everyone dispersed again, and this time, Shi Nian did not return directly to the room.

She still stood there for a while.

Still no one came to her.

However, she must take the initiative to find someone else.

Shi Nian watched for a while and saw the spirit girl who knocked on her door in the morning. She walked over expressionlessly.

When the spirit girl saw her, she was startled and bowed respectfully: "Master Priest."

"Follow me." Shi Nian said coldly.

The spirit girl didn't dare to ask any more questions, her body trembled, but she still followed him honestly.

Shi Nian thought about it, since the spirit girl knocked on her door this morning, she might be a confidant of the original body, or a direct subordinate.

If you want to ask something, it is most appropriate to ask her.

Take the spirit girl back to the room.

Shi Nian pondered for a moment, his face looking indifferent.

The spirit girl panicked and knelt down.

"Why are you kneeling? Get up." Shi Nian said.

The spirit girl shook her head repeatedly, with a look of fear on her face.

Shi Nian understood that she was worried that she would take out her anger on her after being punished today.

He didn't know what kind of character the original person was, so Shi Nian simply stopped trying to persuade him.

She said tentatively: "You should be very happy that I am going out to practice hard this time."

The spirit girl's body trembled even more violently: "How could it be possible? Yunxiu doesn't dare."

This spirit girl's name is Yunxiu.

Shi Nian raised his eyebrows: "Yunxiu, I have been punished so severely. I don't know if I can come back after going out this time."

Yunxiu's expression became even more frightened: "Although I won't be able to harvest the power of faith for three months, with the power of the priest, nothing will happen."

"Really?" Shi Nian said calmly: "The outside world is so dangerous. I don't know what to do."

Shi Nian looked like he was speaking his mind, and Yunxiu said cautiously: "Except for the city where the 188 temples are located, the outside world is full of uncivilized beasts. Priests, be careful not to provoke these beasts. Wait. In three months, I will be able to come back naturally.”

Shi Nian narrowed his eyes.

188 temples?
The outside world full of vicious beasts?

This small world, under the influence of faith, is really deformed.

From what Yunxiu means, is there only 188 small worlds in this entire small world?

Shi Nian said tentatively: "Our temple is still a bit small after all."

Yunxiu also said softly: "Yes. If it were the First Temple, the city's territory would be a hundred times or a thousand times larger than ours. How much power of faith should the practitioners there gain in a day."

As he said that, Yunxiu looked a little yearning.

Shi Nian nodded and understood.

Sure enough, their temple is probably close to the bottom among the 188 temples.

otherwise.

The cultivation level of those high priests is only at the level of the Tribulation Stage.

The top-ranked temple should contain the pinnacle of power in this world.

It's just that Shi Nian doesn't want this kind of power.

Once you get used to relying on the power of faith to practice, you will be trapped in this world forever and become a tool to contribute faith to the God of Thousands of Machines.

"Okay. I won't be here for these three months, so you can take care of yourself." Shi Nian said and sent Yunxiu away.

After Yunxiu left, Shi Nian immediately packed up his things.

Three months of hard training.For others, it’s punishment, banishment.

For her, that is freedom!

In a world full of ferocious beasts, wouldn't that be just the right time for her to level up! (End of chapter)
