After becoming a disciple of the Pope

"To my dear third brother, Shaoqing." Ye Zheng read every word, especially the word "dear" emphatically and slowly, "Tsk, could this be the elder brother of your Ye family?" A gift? Such an old-fashioned pen, worn and old, it has been around for quite a while, and you still carry it with you all the time, it seems that your relationship is really deep, huh?"

Yezheng raised his brows lightly, and looked over with a pair of dark eyes, which seemed somewhat unpredictable in the rising mist. The pen in his hand was oppressed, and he groaned overwhelmed.

Ye Shaoqing was so stared at, she hurriedly snatched back the pen and put it in her pocket before it was broken, and said helplessly: "Actually, I really don't remember the past, and I don't have any memory of this pen, even if I really He's the adopted son of the Ye family, this is just an ordinary brotherhood at best, it's no big deal to send a pen between brothers."

Ye Zheng narrowed his eyes, hooked his fingers at him, and said, "Come down."

Ye Shaoqing felt inexplicably wronged, so he had no choice but to follow him and slide down against the wall of the pool. The warm spring water immediately spread, wrapping every inch of skin gently, and the pores of the whole body were stretched open. The warm and comfortable feeling made people want to sigh .

"Don't hide it, just tell me the truth." Ye Zheng floated towards the water like a spirit behind his back.

How does this scene seem familiar?It's just that the roles have been adjusted.Ye Shaoqing was thinking in his heart how to explain it better, or he might as well just settle it once and for all and resort to the big move of amnesia.

Before Ye Shaoqing could figure out what to say, Ye Zheng spoke first: "After leaving the banquet at Mai's house, I immediately sent someone to check on Ye's house. Ye Rongzhen did bring a boy home in the past, but there was no It was announced to the public that they were only raised at home, and their age and name coincided with yours. Both sons of the Ye family were sent to the Temple of Light by Ye Rongzhen to receive the blessing of the holy scepter, but none of them awakened the holy light. Judging from the imprint of spiritual power left during the blessing and the blood of the virgin boy, they both come from the same source."

Ye Zheng paused for a moment, poked Ye Shaoqing's forehead with his index finger, and said word by word: "And you have no blood relationship with them, so you are not a real brother at all."

"...Wait, what the hell is the boy's blood? When did you find out?" Ye Shaoqing looked at him in surprise.

Yezheng said calmly, "Literally, I took it when you didn't realize it. I checked it just now when you were busy visiting the Temple of Light."

Ye Shaoqing stared at him blankly: "How can you be sure it's the blood of a virgin?"

Yezheng lowered his eyelids and casually glanced at Ye Shaoqing, raised his knee and rubbed it viciously, and said with a smile, "You can tell by your reaction."

"... Can you still see this?!" Ye Shaoqing's heart was broken.

Ye Zheng laughed uncontrollably, leaned on his chest and kept shrugging his shoulders: "I'm lying to you, little idiot, of course I can't see it, but when I borrowed Bai Ze's power, I smelled the 'purity' emanating from you." 'the taste of."

Ye Shaoqing said weakly: "What's that smell?"

Ye Zheng withdrew his fingers and wiped his lips, and said with a light smile: "Since I regard you as my successor, it is natural to see whether you fully meet all the conditions. In addition to awakening the Holy Light, according to the regulations of the Holy See, candidates must Candidate ceremony must be held, after being baptized by the holy spring and approved by the holy beast Bai Ze, the status of the holy son can be officially recognized and declared. Of course, the latter two are easier, the prerequisite is that it must be pure body."

Ye Shaoqing looked at the other party with strange and inscrutable eyes suddenly: "So...you are quite old, but you are still an old virgin?"

"..." His Majesty the Pope's calm and elegant expression cracked in an instant, as if he had suffered a critical blow from ten tons of high-level divine magic. In his dark eyes, resentment and annoyance could almost overflow, "Master looks very old. ?"

Oops, it looks like I accidentally poked a sore foot.

Ye Shaoqing wanted to laugh, but for the safety of his life, he shook his head resolutely, maintained a serious expression, and said firmly, "No, no, you are not old at all. Although your hair is all white, this disciple will not despise you Yes, it's no wonder that you are so provocative, but you can only do so in your dreams, too much abstinence is really harmful to your physical and mental health, and the rules of the Holy See are too inhuman."

Ye Zheng: "..."

Seeing that Master's face was showing a tendency to erupt like a volcano, Ye Shaoqing cleared his throat, and quickly changed the subject: "Well, I don't understand, you can still be Pope for a long time, right? Why are you in a hurry to find an heir?"

Ye Zheng glared at him dissatisfied, and then slowly calmed down. When it came to this issue, his tone became a lot more serious: "The requirements for selecting an heir are strict, and naturally the sooner the better, but, according to my current situation , has reached the point where a successor must be established.”

Ye Shaoqing frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Because I lost my original human body." Ye Zheng narrowed his eyes slowly, with a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes, "The purpose of the establishment of the Holy See was to help humans resist the vicious beasts that spread across the continent. Now even though people have begun to get used to Raising alien animals is to guard against them after all. In the holy altar in the deepest part of the Temple of Light, there is the body of the sacred scepter. Reliable power. When His Majesty the first pope established the holy altar, the first iron law he set was to absolutely prohibit alien beasts from invading the holy altar."

Ye Shaoqing was startled: "Doesn't that mean that you won't be able to enter the holy altar anymore?"

Ye Zheng shook his head: "Take a step, I'm afraid that I will be smashed to ashes by the terrifying magic all over the place. If the Pope cannot enter the holy altar, he will not be able to exert all the power of the holy scepter. It proves that if I persist in refusing to abdicate, I am afraid it will cause unpredictable riots. Faith is a terrible double-edged sword. If you hold it firmly in your hand, you will have unrivaled power. However, if you lose control, wait for you Yes, it is beyond redemption.”

Ye Shaoqing frowned even tighter: "Didn't you get back your original body?"

"No, maybe he was taken away by someone behind the scenes." Ye Zheng's cold eyes showed a little disgust, thinking that his body might fall into the hands of some people with evil intentions, who would do something unfavorable to him or the Holy See, There was a burst of anger in his heart, even if it was a corpse, it was still his!To touch is blasphemy!If they were not tied to God's punishment rack and burned to ashes one by one, it would be difficult to dispel the anger in my heart.

"Then what if those traitors spread this secret?"

Ye Zheng said slowly: "There is no need to be nervous. The holy altar is a secret passed down orally by the popes of all ages. Except for the inherited pope, no one knows where the body of the holy scepter is, and no one knows the mystery hidden by the holy altar. What's more, what the other party wants is the rightful seat of the Pope, not the discredited name of the Pope. If my body is thrown out, there is no evidence to prove that it is true. After all, I am still alive and well among the people. Right now, who would believe this kind of empty slander? Second, wouldn’t the incident of betraying the Holy See and attacking me be exposed? I’m afraid that at that time, the first thing to face would be the anger of the majority of believers.”

Ye Shaoqing said: "Maybe, they will throw out a scapegoat."

Ye Zheng nodded and said: "I really have to guard against it, so I will bring you back to the Temple of Light. I will propose it at the joint meeting of the Holy See recently. I hope you can become the real successor as soon as possible."

Ye Shaoqing said helplessly: "I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in your gods. Isn't it ridiculous that you want me to take over as Pope? Since it is unlikely that the other party will expose this matter, you can slowly find a successor." .”

"You're wrong." Ye Zheng looked at the young disciple meaningfully, his frivolous smile faded, and his eyes were distant and deep after the mist, "Do you think the pope must be a fanatic? No, on the contrary, to become the pope , you will know a lot of secrets, none of which can be announced to the public, they will subvert your original beliefs and concepts, make you doubt yourself, doubt the meaning of the existence of the Holy See, and even doubt the gods."

It was rare for Ye Shaoqing to see his expression like this. He restrained his carelessness and indifference, and looked serious and solemn like a truly wise and steady elder.

"A qualified pope, as long as he always remembers his duties, has firm will and conviction, has excellent character, is backed by strong talent and strength, and has the charm to make believers follow, it is enough. As for Whether you believe in gods or not in your heart is secondary."

Ye Shaoqing laughed: "You are taking the opportunity to praise yourself. If this word spreads, believers will collapse."

Ye Zheng shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "People have long forgotten the original meaning of gods."

It was strange to say this, Ye Shaoqing wanted to ask again, but Ye Zheng didn't want to say any more.However, he is still very interested in the secrets that Ye Zheng said, such as the ghost image of the scepter in his mind, and how did he come to this world?

"Also, there is one more thing."

After wandering around the world for a while, Ye Shaoqing came back to her senses and found that Ye Zheng was still looking at her seriously, infected by his emotions, she couldn't help showing a look of listening carefully: "What is it?"

His Majesty the great Pope solemnly emphasized: "My silver hair is born." It is not white!

Ye Shaoqing: "..."

How much does this guy care about his beauty? !

Ye Zheng didn't care about his disciple's expression, hung it around his neck, and lazily said: "I don't care if you and Ye's eldest son are brothers or not, in short, you are not allowed to flirt with each other."

Ye Shaoqing expressed her innocence: "When did I hook up?"

"It is also not allowed to exchange tokens of love with others."

Ye Shaoqing silently thought, it's better not to tell him the engagement gift for Mai Keke.

Yezheng made a nasal sound with satisfaction: "Just kiss me and forgive you."

In the spirit of caring for empty-nest foxes, Ye Shaoqing decided to sacrifice himself, cupped his cheeks, and covered his bright red lips with a poke.
