Ten-Dimensional Covenant [Unlimited]

Yuzhou followed Zhi'er out of the tunnel, and the first thing he saw was the quiet and deep blue.

There is a lake not far from the tunnel, the lake is shimmering, and it embraces all the stars in the sky.

The boundary between the sky and the lake can no longer be distinguished, and a little bit of starlight, rippling with the wind, interweaves into a soft and magnificent scene.

On the small island in the middle of the lake, a quaint church stands in the boundless water.Gray rock walls, brown tiled roofs, and a rusty copper bell hang, although the vicissitudes of life still cannot hide its unique holiness.

What a piece of pure land on earth far away from the mundane world.

There were no boats around, so Yuzhou hid the diary in the tunnel, and swam to the small island in the middle of the lake alone with Zhier.

He shook off the water on his body, and looked around the outside of the church. The walls made of rock were covered with moss, and the mottled copper door was concealed, and there was no sound inside.

Yuzhou was a little hesitant. If there were people in the church, ninety-nine percent of them were the best of the best, and maybe they would kill each other as soon as they met each other.

"Come up quickly, what are you looking at down there?" A voice came from above his head.

As soon as Yuzhou looked up, he saw Zhi'er stretching his whole body on the window sill, greeting him.

After going in like this, Yuzhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this little mouse is really not afraid of death.

But now that there is nothing wrong with it, it means that there is no one else inside, Yuzhou no longer hesitates, and steps into the abandoned church.

The decoration on the first floor is very simple, almost without any lines and patterns.Just like the poor peasant families who had nothing in the 90s, they couldn't afford any aesthetics.

There are messy long wooden chairs on the ground. In front of it is a podium covered with dust and cobwebs. There are still some traces left after the tables and chairs were moved away. It is very clean and there is no dust accumulation at all. It turned out that Zhi'er moved the wooden chair away when he searched.

Behind the pulpit hangs a faded portrait of an angel with golden wings sitting on a cloud and looking down pitifully on the crowd.

Strangely, the church, the holy cone, and the small medicine bottle all have angel patterns engraved on them, which are very similar to a certain sect in reality, but there are some differences.

In general, Christian church life is relatively simple, loose, and the site is very simple, which is very suitable for this church. However, sculptures and images are generally not allowed in Christian churches, just as it is said in the book of Isaiah, "I am Jehovah, This is my name, give not my honor to false gods nor my praise to graven images."

Therefore, Christian churches generally only place crosses in conspicuous places.

The Catholic Church is the opposite. The magnificent church is covered with murals and sculptures, but generally the paintings are of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and saints.But angels are rarely portrayed.

Could it be that this is a Protestant religion, but some of the prayers and confessions described in the diary have many similarities with the sects he is familiar with.

Yuzhou carefully stepped over the messy benches and went up to the second floor.

There are only two rooms on the second floor, the confession room and the priest's bedroom. The confession room is empty, with nothing in it. The bedroom looks like it has been burned by fire. Half of the walls are scorched black, but strangely, the boundaries of the scorched marks are very clear. It seems that the other side is made of fire-extinguishing materials such as ceramic fibers, and the flames are completely impenetrable.

"What are you squeaking about underneath?" Zhi'er pouted and asked, "There's nothing under there except broken chairs."

"Did you lift the chair below?"

"No, what's so good about those stinky chairs," Zhier said.

Yu Zhou bit his lip, could it be that someone really came here before him.

"Is there any difference between here and when you left?" Yuzhou asked.

Zhi'er looked left and right, and finally squinted his eyes in confusion, "It seems that the bed board has been chewed through, Zhi'er."

Yuzhou: "You didn't eat it yourself, did you?"

"It seems..." Zhi'er touched his head and said with a smirk, "It really is, Zhi'er."

"..."

Yuzhou squatted down, and twirled the scorched crumbs that fell on the ground with his hands. The bed had indeed been moved, "Did you move the bed?"

"No Zhi'er." Zhi'er shook his head.

"Sure?"

"Of course Zhi'er." Zhi'er raised his hand angrily in protest.

"Give me a hand and lift the bed for me." Yuzhou greeted Zhi'er with a corner of the bed, and the two moved the bed together.

There is some color difference between the paint on the bottom of the bed and the outside. It looks freshly painted, and most of it is burnt. Only the left side of the scorched marks left some fragmented symbols, fused together with the burnt wood, Yuzhou After identifying it for a long time, it was finally determined that it was the same thing as the pattern under the bed in the forester's cabin.

"Here, why?" Yuzhou frowned.Could it be that he was wrong, could there be more than one demon, and Leod is not a forest guard, but a priest.

But is he crazy?He brought [that thing] out of the sanctuary, and he should have a heavy life, but he signed a contract with the devil without authorization. Did he not think about his mission at all? Or maybe he encountered a life-and-death crisis and had to ask the devil for help .

Yuzhou looked at the traces left on the ground, not to mention, this speculation is really possible, in the dungeon, no one can be better than Leod, if [that thing] is on Leod, then it has not been discovered by anyone for so long. If you find it, it makes sense.

No wonder Run 25 said his premise was wrong. It turned out that Leod was not the forester who wrote the diary.

But, how did Run 25 know, didn't he just follow behind No. 16 at the beginning?Could it be that Run 25 lied, and he also has a heart for [that thing]?

Yuzhou couldn't figure it out, so he got up and looked around to see if there were any other clues.The desk had been burned down, and the only remaining furniture in the room was half a bookshelf with 6 books on it. Yuzhou took the books down and observed the traces of dust on the bookshelf. The books were taken down and put back on. but--

"One is missing, did you take it?"

Zhi'er showed a confused look.

"Hey." Yuzhou sighed softly. Judging from the positions where No. 3 and No. 30 appeared, it should be No. 3 who has been here.

Yuzhou patted the ashes on the remaining books. "The Word of God", "The Book of the Guardian", "The Twelve Holy Codes", "Magic and Secret Medicine"... are all books related to the priesthood, and the pages are a little damp , but the overall preservation is very good, there is a fragrance similar to borneol on it, it should be used to prevent insects and ants.

Yuzhou flipped through them briefly, and found that 5 of them were very clean, and the pages were brand new and snow-white.Only the "Teaching Book for Duty Keepers", with yellowed pages, should be taken out to study from time to time.

Yuzhou took out the "Teaching Book for Duty Keepers" and began to flip through the pages one by one. He didn't stop until the 23rd page. With some dried bread crumbs,

Yuzhou was refreshed, and a picture popped up in his mind, a clergyman wearing a monk's robe, sitting at the table, eating bread, curling the corner of the book with his fingertips, but his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

Page 23:

 …Love is patient and kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, is not rude, does not seek its own, is not quick-tempered, takes no evil into account...

Integrity, hope, generosity, justice, tenacity, temperance, tolerance, my believers must abide by, arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust, my believers must abandon...

God of Mercy bless all the homeless....

...God will not abandon anyone who has not betrayed God...

There are similarities and differences with the teachings in reality.Yuzhou put the "Teaching Book for Duty Keepers" aside, and picked up "Shenyu", which should contain the core teachings and legends of this sect.

Sure enough, looking at the first page, there is a vivid illustration. In the Nine Heavens, God is receiving the worship of all the angels. His figure is hidden behind thousands of clouds, but it is as magnificent as the eternal sun.

The second picture is still about the angels and their gods. The angels keep sending flowers soaked in dew, weaving gorgeous clothes with clouds, and playing music praising his name for the gods.

Yuzhou looked at the illustration that looked like a photo, and always felt a little weird. The angel in the painting was walking in the sun with a carefree smile, while the god sitting in the curtain was hiding in the shadows , his shadow fell on the ground, blurred into the shape of sharp beak and fangs.

Is this putting the cart before the horse?

Turning to the third page in Yuzhou, sure enough, the situation took a turn for the worse, disasters came, the ground was flooded, the sky was raging flames, the angels were involved, howling in pain, praying for God's salvation.But God still sat behind the curtain, raised a corner of the curtain, and looked coldly at all the suffering angels, but did not extend a helping hand.

Yuzhou pressed his eyebrows and continued to turn to the fourth page. Among the abandoned angels, a warrior who defied fate stood up. He resisted the flood, parted the flames, and opened a way of survival for the only remaining clansmen. .

This angel is exactly the one on the mural downstairs.

The next step must be to kill the old gods and support the new gods.Yuzhou secretly speculated.

Yet the scene on page five took him by surprise.There is neither the warrior nor the suffering angel in the picture, only the old god.

The curtain opened, and inside was the bottomless abyss of hell and countless demons of purgatory. The old god stood on the highest peak piled with bones. He had four arms and two faces.One is as cold as frost, quietly watching all the suffering outside the curtain; the other is gentle and warm, stretching out its arms to welcome countless ferocious ghosts who want to climb to the top of the mountain.

What surprised Yuzhou the most was that there seemed to be two pairs of glittering golden wings on his back, and this old god was also an angel.

Yuzhou slapped his head, knowing that he was thinking in a fixed way.The sect in this book is obviously not the same as in reality. These winged ones are probably not angels, but some kind of winged birdmen.It is reasonable for them to mold gods in their own image.

So, God abandoned them?

With this question in mind, Yuzhou turned to the next page. However, something unexpected happened again. The illustrated page ended, and the following papers were engraved with incomprehensible magical symbols until the end.

Isn't it too strange to have a mythical story with no beginning and no end? Which classics would describe their gods like this?To say the least, Yuzhou didn't figure out who is the god that this sect worships?

"Does your arm still hurt, Zhi'er, do you want me to look for it again, maybe there is medicine for Zhi'er." Zhi'er was lying on Yuzhou's shoulder to read a book with him, but mice are restless by nature, he It won't last long.

Only then did Yu Zhou realize that this place is not safe, so he picked up the book and got up decisively: "I'll go with you."

He followed Zhi'er out of the room, and saw Zhi'er rushing into the bathroom in three steps at a time, climbed into a small kitchen cabinet familiarly, opened a secret compartment, and a fragrance of herbs wafted in. come out.

The location of the hidden compartment is very ingenious, and it is extremely difficult to find without looking carefully.

Yuzhou pulled Zhi'er out and looked inside. In addition to the dried herbs piled up in different categories, there was also a complete set of distillation tools and a work notebook.

Open it and see that the entrance is a large proportion of crossed out formulas:

Xihancao 20g+Xuxin 50pcs+Golden gum flower 65g

……

There are twelve or thirteen pages in total, all of which are different prescriptions, and the preparation method is noted below, but they are all crossed out by the pen. The force of the pen is very strong, and the paper is scratched. It seems that his preparation is not smooth, or these medicines are not achieve the desired effect.

Why put herbs here?Yuzhou grabbed a handful, and it was already rotten.For medicinal materials, if the bathroom is too humid, it is easy to breed insects and ants and cause mildew.Strange, is it not allowed for a priest to even dispense some medicine?

"There's nothing else." Yuzhou checked again, and when he turned around, he found that the restless Chi'er had gone somewhere.

"Let's go, it's not peaceful here." Yuzhou searched up and down, and finally picked up the Chi'er that was gnawing on the bed board under the bed.

He walked to the window and glanced at the dreamy night scene again.

The breeze blew up ripples, crushing a pool of starlight.

Let's go, this beautiful scenery does not belong to you.Yuzhou forced himself to turn his eyes away.

Come on, go back to your bloodbath.Yuzhou sighed, closed the window that Zhi'er had opened, and closed all his weaknesses.

At the tip of the moon, the rusty church door shook twice, and returned to calm again.
