Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

Not only Bai Jinghu, but others looked at Xiaoman with hostility, jealousy, worry and confusion in their eyes.

The hostility comes from the white-bearded bishop and the purple-robed priests who rely on him - the Pope is their biggest backer, and now someone is challenging the Pope's authority... They looked at Xiaoman and immediately booed, only the two purple-robed priests frowned

He didn't say a word, which also shows the Pope's deep roots in the temple.

The most worried Xiaoman are the black-robed guards. Due to class reasons, they usually have no contact with the Pope. Instead of trying to please the Pope, it is better to please the purple-robed priests. After all, purple robes can determine their promotion. Although the Pope comes from a certain

In a sense, they are their boss, but they are closer to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman is a goddess, the same as the bishop, but does not have the cold attitude of the red-robed bishop. She has a good relationship with these black-robed bishops, which is much better than Lu Fan's red-robed bishops, like Lu Fan and the white-bearded bishop...

Don't talk to them at ordinary times, it would be difficult for Heipao to even see them.

Zhuo Feng was a little jealous. In a story like this, where an enemy's head was taken out of a huge army, shouldn't the protagonist be the third young master Zhuo, a dragon and a phoenix among men?

Jia Jiushan was a little confused. He looked back at Chu Huan, feeling slightly worried.

These young people are so courageous.

When he was in the temple before, although Qiu Fu was two years younger than him, he had unparalleled achievements in divine arts. It was because of this that the previous pope finally passed the papal position that originally belonged to him to him.

Qiu Fu.

Even though Qiu Fu was not a disciple of the previous pope.

Even if he is the favorite disciple of the previous pope.

He did not understand this result, and out of frustration, he decided to leave the temple and live alone on the island to practice cultivation.

Later, when he got older, he understood the good intentions of the previous pope. If the papacy was really passed on to him and Qiu Fu's ability was used to decide whether to accept it, then the temple would fall into internal strife, and his

His magical skills are not as good as Qiu Fu's, and if he fails, he will be plotted by Qiu Fu and lose his life.

Now that twenty years have passed, he came back with his whole heart to practice, just to see if the Pope is still as unmatchable as before.

As the pope, Qiu Fu would be involved in all kinds of complicated work and would inevitably slack off in his practice, so Jia Jiushan had confidence.

Now he has no interest in the position of pope, he just wants to do something he has always wanted to do.

That is to compare with the Pope.

But this matter was stopped by Chu Huan.

When chatting in the ancient city, Chu Huan asked him the purpose of going to the temple. He said that he wanted to compete with the Pope, not to gain fame or seize power, but just to fulfill his long-cherished wish many years ago.

Chu Huan asked him: "Are you sure you can kill the Pope?"

Jia Jiushan thought for a long time and finally shook his head: "I am sure of seriously injuring him."

Chu Huan asked again: "What will you do if the Pope dies?"

Jia Jiushan didn't answer, he just laughed.

He felt that Chu Huan was telling a joke. Although the temple was in decline, there had never been a precedent of a pope being assassinated because the pope had the magical ability to escape instantly. He could avert danger in every crisis like a divine aid. Otherwise, how could the temple have stood for thousands of years?

And how could the Pope just kill him on his word?

Looking at Jia Jiushan who was laughing, Chu Huan said: "If we fail, what are you going to do?"

Naturally, Jia Jiushan did not refuse. He asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Huan also laughed: "You will know when the time comes."

So when Xiao Man came out and said the word "ask", Jia Jiushan knew that Chu Huan and Zhuo Feng were ready to take action, but... let a little girl compete with the Pope in magic?

This was too arrogant, so he was a little worried. Just when he was about to get up, Chu Huan suddenly said: "Senior, as agreed, we will attack first, and you will come back if we fail."

Jia Jiushan had no choice but to look down with interest. At this moment, he felt that the young man in front of him was too ignorant.

After all, the art of divine revelation is just a legend.

In ancient times, when humans began to urbanize, cities were not what they are now.

Nowadays, when you walk on the street, there are high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete everywhere, and traffic is in all directions. Although one community is connected to another, the distance between people is getting farther and farther.

At the beginning of human civilization, the functions of cities only had two parts.

One is the worship area where the temple is located, and the other is the living area for believers.

Believers worship gods and go to the worship area every day. The worship area accounts for more than 70% of the city. It is divided into dozens of areas such as temples, sacrifices, and tombs. The living area is relatively simple, and believers work in life.

Eat, sleep, etc.

At that time, the common people in mainland China did not measure the degree of civilization of a city by looking at the economic growth and population growth as we do now, but by the worship area. A city without a worship area would be defined as a barbaric land, and few civilians were willing to migrate.

To cities without worship areas.

The archaeological community once raised a question:

In the rescue archeology of some ancient tombs, why are there only stone tools but no metal weapons?

We must know that in the ancient times when human beings were born, there were many huge beasts in the world. At that time, they were the masters of the world. How could humans defeat the giant beasts with sharp claws and claws with just their hands?

There are ferocious carnivores that still exist today, such as giant pythons, tigers, hungry wolves, etc., not to mention some ferocious beasts in mythology that mainly eat humans.

With stone tools alone...weak humans may not be able to defeat those beasts.

The archaeological community still has no answers to its questions, but believers have found the results they want from the sacred scriptures.

It is recorded in the divine scriptures: In the beginning of mankind, all kinds of beasts were rampant. The reason why mankind can survive in such a harsh environment is because mankind has priests.

The priest is the person who conveys the will of God and is the medium of communication between God and mankind.

Priests are not only proficient in astronomy and geography, but also can make fire, pray for rain, make alchemy and other magic.

Yes, in the barbaric era recorded in the divine scriptures, people's original definition of divine magic was magic.

According to the scriptures, there were no priests in the beginning, because some people looked up to the sky and felt something, and the gods showed mercy, and suddenly mastered some kind of magic. Such people were called priests.

A person who knows magic is not necessarily a priest, but a priest must know magic.

Later, human civilization continued to develop, the word magic was gradually replaced by divine magic, and priests became the popes in the divine scriptures.

With the pope, people began to believe in the existence of God in this world.

The so-called divine enlightenment technique is a very simple divine technique.

The first pope in the divine canon knew the art of divine revelation.

When he led his followers to hunt, he did not hold a bow, arrow or spear in his hand, but grabbed a handful of clay, used the clay to shape it into the shape of a ferocious beast, and then roasted the beast made of clay on the fire, and the clay slowly followed the fire.

As the temperature continues to rise and fall apart, the huge and ferocious prey will fall to the ground and die.

It is recorded in the sacred scriptures more than once that the Pope used this method to exterminate many large creatures that were difficult to exterminate with bows, arrows and spears alone, such as evil dragons, giant crocodiles, etc.

This kind of magic, which makes an image out of clay and destroys the real body, is said in the sacred scriptures to be the most primitive divine art, that is, the art of divine revelation. All subsequent divine arts evolved on this basis.

For thousands of years, only a few people have mastered this magical technique.

This technique can kill people invisibly.

It is a secret skill in divine arts, and the so-called asking is the technique of comparing divine revelation.

The development history of the temple is recorded in the sacred scriptures. For thousands of years, no female priest has mastered this technique.

No priestess has ever served as pope.

but.

But there is nothing in the sacred scriptures that says women cannot serve as pope.

God says that everyone is His child.

Today, Xiaoman is wearing a purple robe, which is the unique bishop's clothing of the goddess. It is embroidered with lotus flowers and various auspicious clouds and beasts.

"It's so beautiful." Looking away from Xiaoman, Zhuo Feng looked at Chu Huan and said, "Don't tell me, Xiaoman immediately looked divine as soon as he put it on."

"It's unbearable to blaspheme." Xue Yue glanced sideways at Zhuo Feng: "What does your divine robe look like?"

"Hey, this..." Thinking of something, Zhuo Feng turned to look at Chu Huan: "I heard that Lening is a master of embroidery?"

"Yes." Chu Huan nodded: "We in Lening have many skills that are about to be lost in history, and embroidery is just one of them."

"The clothes Xiaoman is wearing should be from Lening." Chu Huan said, his thoughts couldn't help but think of Lening, the bricks and tiles of Wenxiang Building, and those lovely people.

"Most people really can't make embroidered clothes. If you want to learn embroidery, you first have to learn from a famous teacher. Masters don't accept everyone, they have to look at their skills. If you are lucky enough to get started, you have to work with the master for five years. During these five years, the master will not teach you anything.

Embroidery knowledge.”

"This is done so that students who learn embroidery can abandon their impetuosity and calm down. When the students are calm, the master will teach them professional techniques according to their aptitude."

"The skills are not passed down to others, and I don't know the details, but thanks to the extraordinary skills, the clothes have long since lost their irritability."

"Look at the purple robe on Xiaoman. The pattern is beautiful, but if you look closely, it has an unearthly appearance. The color is dignified and thick, but it also contains infinite vitality."

Zhuo Feng felt the same way and praised: "It looks extraordinary and extraordinary. It is really a skill that is almost Taoist."

"I really want to go around Lening."

Listening to the conversation of the three people, Jia Jiushan couldn't help but twitching - do these people know what is going on now? Are they talking about the goddess's clothes? Shouldn't they be focusing on dealing with the Pope?

This is outrageous. Thinking of this, Jia Jiushan stopped him and said, "Can you three shut up first?"

The three of them looked at each other, smiled at each other, and stopped talking.

"Do you know what you are doing?" The pope, who had just been defeated in his heart, felt overwhelmed with emotion. With a gloomy face, he looked at Xiaoman standing in the center of the crowd and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Ask

?What qualifications do you have to ask me?"

Xiaoman replied calmly and generously: "What, are you scared?"

The discussion started again, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

"Forget it, it won't take long to kill you." The Pope said and walked down the stairs.

The auspicious time for the promotion ceremony has long passed. Now that it is being broadcast live all over the world, Xiaoman is sure that the Pope will not refuse, otherwise the Pope will cause criticism. As a Pope, he is afraid of a girl's magical power?

As the Pope took steps, several purple-robed priests surrounded Xiaoman. Two of them were the Pope's disciples who were about to be promoted to red-robed bishops. Now, a series of accidents have prevented the promotion ceremony that should have ended long ago from starting.

——Without the Pope's blessing, even if they have obtained the vote, they cannot become red-robed bishops.

Bowing to the gods and receiving blessings from the Pope are an integral part of the promotion ceremony.

Hatred spreads and murderous intentions arise everywhere.

The purple-robed priest who was delayed in promotion stared at Xiaoman. If his gaze could kill, Xiaoman would have died a thousand times at this moment.

Xiaoman didn't care about their looks. She looked at the Pope who came in front of her with a faint smile on her face.

Calm and calm.

It seemed as if what she was facing was not the Pope, but an old man.

"How to compare?" When he came to stand in front of Xiaoman, the Pope asked coldly. If there weren't so many outsiders here, he really wanted to chop Xiaoman with one palm.

Xiaoman didn't reply. She turned to look at Chu Huan. At this time, Chu Huan crossed the crowd and quickly came to Xiaoman's side, and took out two palm-sized balls of clay from the pockets prepared in advance.

"If you can, crush me to death first." Xiaoman looked in the direction of the live broadcast camera and said a widely circulated sentence.

From now on, if many people have a conflict, both parties will stare fiercely into each other's eyes and say: "If you can, crush me to death first!"

Later it evolved into... before taking action, he would shout: Come and pinch me!

As soon as this sentence comes out, it will immediately escalate to fists and kicks.

After glancing at Chu Huan, the pope reached out and grabbed a handful of clay without looking too long at Chu Huan.

It was at this time that the Pope realized something was wrong. He... broke an arm.

Xiaoman had already picked up the clay and started squeezing it like it was facing the Pope.

The pope snorted coldly. At this time, someone in purple robe came forward and raised his hands flat. The pope put the clay in his hand on it, took a deep look at Xiaoman, and closed his eyes.

When the Pope opened his eyes, the light in his eyes flashed away. He raised his one-armed left hand and started carving on the clay with his pointing knife.

He didn't believe that Xiaoman knew any divine enlightenment skills, at best he only knew some curse skills.

Cursing is the introductory magic of the temple. Every priest knows some, but the methods are different. The low-level ones need the hair or blood of the cursed person to assist in casting the curse, while the advanced ones only need to know the appearance.

Curses originated in ancient times, when there were no birth dates or personal details.

Therefore, if you want to curse a person or a family, you usually make a clay figure or carve a wooden figure.

There are also paper-cutters, but they are very few.

The caster will use spells and talismans to establish a mysterious connection between the puppet or clay figure and the cursed person, thereby achieving the purpose of the curse.

The Pope's plan was to wait for the clay figure to be molded, and then use the curse technique to embarrass Xiaoman in public.

Soon, Xiaoman's pretty face appeared on the clay in the hand of the purple-robed priest, lifelike.

"Misfortune has befallen me!" As the Pope murmured, a black mist surrounded the clay.

Xiaoman, on the other hand, lowered her head and focused on pinching the Pope's face, while Chu Huan waited quietly beside her.

The pope kept saying something to the face of the clay figure. After a moment, Xiaoman looked up blankly and heard a call:

"Xiaoman, it's me."

The voice sounded very familiar, like her mother's.

As the Pope kept kneading Xiaoman's clay figurine, Xiaoman's head began to hurt violently.
