After becoming a disciple of the Pope

Ever since they were brought to the living room of the side hall by the priests of the Holy See, the Ye family father and son had been waiting for more than half an hour, and no one came to see them.

Ye Ke's self-cultivation was completely inherited from his father. Even though he was neglected and waited for a long time, he did not show any impatience on his face, but there was a faint melancholy in his brow that would never go away.

In the same room, the father and son did not communicate much. Ye Ke has long been used to his father's seriousness and reticence. He looked at the back of his father standing by the window, and said hesitantly: "Father, why don't you think about it again?" , could there be a mistake somewhere, do you really want to..."

"Shut up!" Ye Rongzhen turned his head and cast an extremely stern glance at his eldest son. The killing spirit hidden in his eyes, even if it was only the tip of the iceberg, was full of shock. force.

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the living room was opened. After Zhou Wen, Ye Zheng and Ye Shaoqing stepped into the room slowly and sat down opposite the Ye family father and son.

"Your Majesty the Pope." Ye Ke and the two saluted Ye Zheng, and quickly got up again. Their movements were crisp and neat, neither humble nor overbearing. Ye Rongzhen's gaze turned to Ye Shaoqing. The same scratched on his face, as if he would not stop until he could see through the other party inside and out.

There is neither the kindness that a father looks at his son, nor the slightest respect for the quasi-holy son, but a bit of hostility instead.

Ye Shaoqing stared at him without evasion under the other party's substantial eyes, and looked at him inch by inch with the same scrutiny and inquiry eyes. It was not like the eyes of his father who had adopted him for more than ten years, but more like a pair of eyes. stranger.

Zhou Wen poured tea for a few people, stepped aside, watched his nose, nose and heart, and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.

Ye Zheng picked up the teacup, and calmly blew on the floating leaves on the water, waiting for the Ye family to explain their intentions.

The atmosphere was strangely silent, and no one wanted to break the deadlock first.

"Ye Ke, you go out first, I have something to explain to His Majesty the Pope and His Excellency Ye Shaoqing alone." After all, Ye Rongzhen ended the silence.

Zhou Wen got Ye Zheng's nod, and left the room with Ye Ke, guarding the door. When the latter left, he gave Ye Shaoqing a hesitant look, but unfortunately, the latter didn't notice his "eyes".

Ye Zheng took a sip of his tea, and said slowly, "General Ye, our time is precious. If you have something to say, just speak up. I only give you 10 minutes."

Ye Rongzhen focused his eyes, and said lightly: "That's enough. Then I will make a long story short. I came here this time to hope that His Majesty the Pope can reconsider the matter of canonizing Ye Shaoqing as the Holy Son and granting him the right to inherit the Pope!"

Regardless of Ye Zheng's sudden expression, Ye Rongzhen's eyes were solemn, his tone was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "As General Yongfeng of the Empire and Ye Shaoqing's adoptive father, I firmly oppose this matter! His Majesty the Pope, please withdraw your order, and another establish others."

Ye Shaoqing looked at him in amazement, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. Even if General Ye didn't like his "adopted son", he wouldn't hate him so much that he would come here to admonish and abolish him at the risk of offending the Pope or even the entire Holy See. Bar?

What kind of outrageous things did he do before that the whole family hated him so much?Wouldn't it be just because he once "secretly fell in love" with the outstanding eldest son Ye Ke?What is secret love?

Ye Zheng narrowed his black eyes, raised his chin, stared at him coldly, and said slowly, "Ye Rongzhen, do you know what you're talking about?"

Ye Shaoqing glanced at Ye Zheng from the corner of his eye, the accumulated anger was like a paper soaked with thick ink, it was almost dripping out.

His master hated others to oppose him the most. With his domineering and authoritarian style, General Ye went to the point of the gun, purely looking for death.

However, General Ye seemed not aware of the Pope's gloomyness, and still expressed his attitude more forcefully: "Your Majesty the Pope, of course I know what I'm talking about, this person——he is not the real Ye Shaoqing at all! "

His eyes were like two sharp arrows shooting out. The moment Ye Shaoqing looked at him, Ye Shaoqing felt as if his eyes had been shot through two holes, and a gloomy chill suddenly came up along his spine. Unprepared, the deepest secret in my heart was dug up and spread before my eyes.

Ye Shaoqing's eyes were heavy, a little astonished, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Zheng, wanting to see his reaction. The latter's gaze was fixed on Ye Rongzhen like a sharp awl, and he didn't turn his head to ask his disciples what he meant.

Ye Shaoqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that it was this adoptive father, who had been away from Ye's family for many years, who only met once today and discovered this incredible fact.

What's ridiculous is that Ye Ke, whom the former Ye Shaoqing regarded as the closest person, didn't notice it.

After a long time, His Majesty the Pope stood up, looked at Ye Rongzhen indifferently and said with disdain: "Looking at your achievements in stationing the empire for many years, I will spare you this time."

He obviously didn't want or bother wasting time on Ye Rongzhen.Seeing the pope's disbelieving attitude, Ye Rongzhen sneered, strode forward to block Ye Zheng, and said, "Your Majesty! You must have checked it out. Ye Shaoqing has no blood relationship with my Ye family. A child of unknown origin that was picked up in Outland years ago."

"So what?" Ye Zheng stopped, didn't turn around, just turned his face slightly, and said indifferently, "The candidates for the Pope are never afraid of family background, Ye Rongzhen, my patience has a limit, if you slander me like this Disciple, I have every reason to tie you to God's punishment rack, even the emperor can't keep you."

It was the first time for Ye Shaoqing to hear about the origin of the original body, and his strong curiosity drove him to stop, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.

"Of course I wouldn't object if it was just a child from an ordinary family." Ye Rongzhen stared at Ye Shaoqing's familiar face, narrowed his eyes and said, "When I picked you up, you were lying in a pool of blood surrounded by ferocious beasts, gathered around At that time, I thought they were fighting for food. Seeing that you were still alive, I decided to take the risk to rescue you from the mouth of the beasts. Who knew, I found that those king-level beasts were not Competing for the right to eat you, they are actually protecting you, no, no, they are feeding you! Feeding you with blood!"

As if remembering something terrible, Ye Rongzhen's eyes sank, the muscles on his cheeks were tense, and his cheeks were sunken, clearly outlining the shape of his cheekbones.

Ye Zheng finally turned around, a pair of beautiful brows frowned little by little following his words, Ye Shaoqing was really surprised now, but no matter how bizarre the other party said, he still felt that this was the dead Ye Shaoqing His life experience has nothing to do with him, so he continued to listen with the mentality of listening to the story.

"I was shocked at the time, but I finally stole you from the beasts and brought you back to the station, only to find that you couldn't speak, express, or communicate with people. You looked like a four- or five-year-old The priest at the station told me that your sea of ​​consciousness is empty, and your soul is incomplete."

"I am very strange and very vigilant. What is your identity, and why are you being supported by the precious blood of a king-level beast? Since then, I have brought you by my side and taught you how to read and communicate with others. It is both protection and observation, and for two full years, those strange beasts did not come to look for you, so I brought you back to the imperial capital, placed you in the Ye family, and put you under my nose."

"It's been peaceful for more than ten years. I almost forgot about your weird life experience, but the world is unpredictable. I have only been away from home for less than two years. The child with a broken soul, autistic and stupid has suddenly become an identity... Distinguished disciple of the Pope, he is about to be named as the Holy Son, succeeding the Pope. Until I saw you here with my own eyes today, I finally affirmed that terrible guess."

Incomplete soul?Ye Shaoqing looked at him noncommittally, but thinking of his strange soul wear, his originally irrelevant mentality gradually changed with his narration, and an ominous premonition lingered in his heart, and his intuition told him that the next words, probably That's the real big secret.

"It is rumored that before the establishment of the Holy See, the leaders of the human race and the powerful alien beasts that ruled this continent continued to fight in constant melee. The alien beasts did their own thing and never cooperated. Finally decided to use a bloody method to select the most powerful leader, Mang, in the fight with each other. He killed other competitors, plundered the blood of the losers, enslaved their bodies, and created his own Since the birth of this continent, the most terrifying king can even compete with the gods."

Ye Zheng interrupted him, his eyes were cold and sharp: "Who told you about Mang's secret?"

Ye Rongzhen carefully placed an old and yellowed page on the table. The handwriting on it was somewhat blurred due to the age.

"I don't know who sent it quietly, on my way to the imperial capital." Ye Rongzhen shook his head, "I was skeptical at first, but after I returned to the imperial capital, I heard another rumor that someone said that His Excellency Ye Shaoqing's eyes , under special circumstances, it will turn golden. I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Ye Zheng didn't answer, Ye Shaoqing frowned tightly, the astonishing amount of information seemed to be a mess with countless threads, twisted in a mess, when using holy light, his pupils would turn golden, and his consciousness would be blocked by some unknown force. What about the suppression of power, and the phantom of the scepter in the sea of ​​consciousness?

He has always been doubtful about this, but Ye Zheng never explained it to him. Mai Wei mistakenly believed that he was the messenger of the gods. Judging from what Ye Rongzhen revealed, it seems that it is not that simple.

"It seems that the rumors are true. Since the first Pope, so many great figures who have awakened the Holy Light have never had this situation, and only those who know nothing about the secrets of the Holy See will be misled by the Holy Light in your body "Ye Rongzhen let out a miserable laugh, as if the last trace of doubt disappeared, "The pupils of Mang are golden! It fought against the gods for ten days and ten nights, and finally failed miserably. Mang is too powerful. , So God took out its soul, used its bones and crystal nucleus, supplemented by countless rare materials to make a sacred scepter, and suppressed it under the holy light of God forever!"

"Now I finally understand why those king-level beasts with strong territorial consciousness give up fighting with each other and use their own blood to support you. Why your soul is incomplete, because your body is simply a container! Now, Who is your soul?"

The author has something to say: Ye: ... Who am I?Where am I?Where do I come from?Where am I going? 【stupid
