Suzaku

The Word of Truth

Be careful not to tell anyone anything, but go and show yourself to the priest, and because you are cleansed, offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them all. A verse in the Gospel of Mark

This statement is complicated. If a theologian comes to give you an annotation, it will probably be enough for you to study for half your life; but the statement is simple and simple, at least in the brain of a poet like Yi Tianxing, the words spoken by Paul II should be So understand.

“Don’t tell anyone about stealing a nuclear bomb, or you will cause big trouble. You just need to come to my place and let me have a look, and then I will guarantee you that in this matter You are clean, who am I? I am the Pope, I said you are clean, of course you are clean, remember to give me some gifts, and share some of the money you won in the United States with the Holy See, this is how you go to the United States Evidence, it has nothing to do with stealing warheads, it’s just money grabbing.”

Hmm, shameless interpretation.

But Yi Tianxing interpreted it in this way, although the old man may have other meanings hidden.

There is no one to feed the pigeons in the square. There are only a thousand people in the Vatican. It is very difficult to feed themselves, so the pigeons have to find their own food.

Walking on the square, Yi Tianxing held his hands behind his backWalking slowly, the priests around saw him and stood at a distance, refusing to go forward.

“Your Excellency made them feel that their dignity has been damaged.” Fatty Joe said to Yi Tianxing with a smile.

Yi Tianxing glanced at him, and suddenly felt some pity. This cheerful fat man didn’t seem to know that his father had few days to live. As for why the Pope had an illegitimate child, this must be another complicated story. He didn’t intend to explore gossip, but Paul II’s conversation with himself seemed to have another layer of potential intentions.

After the pope goes to heaven, the pope may hope that his blood can have such a powerful friend as Yi Tianxing.

It’s very strange, the relationship between people is really strange, Yi Tianxing saw this person when he first came to the United States, and now it’s just a two-faced friendship, but Yi Tianxing thinks that this fat Joe can have a relationship.

“Small country with few people, talk about dignity.” Yi Tianxing laughed at him, wanting to see how he would react.

“The Vatican is a sovereign country, and it’s a holy church.” Fatty Joe said seriously.

“Well, in 1929, if the Pope at the time hadn’t agreed to give Mussolini a face, would you have this country now?” Yi Tianxing said angrily, waving his hands, from the huge shadow of St. Peter’s Church Walk through and step out of the Vatican City.

In the next day or two, the assistants sent from China and the people from the Roman embassy arrived and began to negotiate with Fat Joe on some aspects.

Yi Tianxing and Paul II have already set the tone, so the negotiation is just obsessed with certain details. Originally, Fatty Joe did not have enough qualifications to participate in the negotiation, but Yi Tianxing instructed his side to strongly demand the negotiation The target was Fatty Joe, and the Vatican had no choice but to push Fatty Joe, who was actually not very willing, to the negotiating table.

This is a good opportunity for Fatty Joe to establish his achievements in the Holy See. Yi Tianxing gave him the opportunity, and it depends on whether he can seize it.

Although Paul II no longer showed up, he must have known about Yi Tianxing’s performance through some means, and asked someone to send a message to thank him and asked him to play in Rome for two more days.

It is natural to play, and Yi Tianxing swaggered to Rome Airport in a car with a Vatican license plate.

The sound of the plane taxiing on the tarmac was loud, and Yi Tianxing waited very anxiously. The temperature of the air conditioner in the VIP room was very low, and his heart was very warm.

A familiar figure appeared at the entrance looking left and right, Yi Tianxing smiled slightly, went up and hugged the girl in his arms, greedily sucking the breath from the girl’s neck, enjoying the gentle touch in his arms.

“My wife, you are finally here.”

Zou Leilei skipped class and came to Rome, but Yi Tianxing suddenly couldn’t spare time to play with him.

Because there was a small problem in the negotiation between the two parties, and the other party called for a separate negotiation with Yi Tianxing.

Yi Tianxing yelled at Fatty Joe full of anger: “I want to go boating with my wife. Who is that person who is so shameless that he wants me to negotiate by name?” He clenched his fists and said in a dark tone: “Even your father is not as airy as him.”

Fatty Joe frowned and said, “My dad really doesn’t have as much face as him. He was the one who chose my dad when he elected the Pope to be promoted to the White Mist. You must know that my dad is a Polish man. You can imagine his status in the Holy See.”

“Who?” Yi Tianxing’s eyes widened.

“A very ordinary priest in red, but he has lived for many years.”

Walking on St. Peter’s Square, Fat Joe led him to an old red priest who couldn’t grow old, and then bowed his knees and respectfully kissed the back of the red priest’s hand.

A quiet little room.

“My name is Li Guofei.” The old priest in red looked at Yi Tianxing with a condescending tone, “I don’t care about these secular negotiations, that’s something the Pope needs to worry about, I’m just curious and want to see What do you look like?”

Yi Tianxing was a little annoyed, but respecting the old and loving the young had long taken root in his heart, scratching his head and asking, “Who are you?”

The priest named Li Guofei sat down and ate a whole plate of seafood barbecue: “You don’t know if I tell you.” He wiped his mouth and sighed leisurely: “I think I was preaching in a distant place back then. , Tsk tut at that time.”

Yi Tianxing was confused, and sarcastically said: “When I think about the past, I think I am really an old demon who has lived for thousands of years.”

Cardinal Li Guofei looked into his eyes seriously: “It’s been more than a thousand years. I think you were not born when I was with the Great Sage.”

This one really lived for many years.

“What happened”

Zou Leilei did not live in the embassy, ​​but stayed in the Hilton Hotel next to the airport. She looked at Yi Tianxing who entered the door in a panic, and asked with concern.

Yi Tianxing waved his hand in great pain: “This world is so big, there are so many wonders. It’s so strange to listen to a senior person from the Holy See recalling fondly the day when I met the Great Sage without doing anything this afternoon. China is tens of thousands of kilometers away, and you can still meet old acquaintances of the master.”

“What did he ask you to do”

“It’s nothing, it’s just that I’m getting older and want to chat with someone.”

The word “sacred” is added to diplomacy, so it is difficult for secular regimes to intervene. But the contact of the two most powerful mysterious forces in the East and the West, for those on the European continentFor some people, it is a very scary thing.

All eyes are on Italy.

A cardinal walked past St. Peter’s Square, and seemed to have a stuffy nose. He took out a tissue from his arms and wiped his nose twice vigorously, before throwing it into the trash can.

Two hours later, the garbage bin was taken away by the cleaning vehicle of the Rome municipal government.

Two hours and forty-one minutes later, a mouse appeared in a garbage disposal site on the outskirts of the city, scrambling to eat among the garbage. Suddenly, a red light flashed in its two eyes, and it pounced on it and bit a mouse. A piece of paper, and then ran crookedly into the underground waterway as if drunk.

There was a flash of blood.

A handsome, pale Western nobleman slowly let go of his palm, which was a blurred mass of flesh and blood. He glanced at the note lightly, and then it withered and blackened before his eyes, dissipating in the wind.

“Vlad, after you returned to Europe, you entered my family. When you were in Hong Kong, you were known for your wisdom. Please judge the purpose of the Holy See’s contact with that Easterner.”

In front of him, sat a middle-aged vlad who was made miserable by Yi Tianxing in Hong Kong.

Vlad looked at the noble-looking young man and said seriously: “Patriarch, don’t mess with that man.”

The patriarch frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: “I respect your opinion, but it seems that the Akavian family doesn’t like that Oriental. Some signs show that they seem to be planning to use the blood pool.”

“That’s a bunch of lunatics.” Vlad said humbly, “We’re waiting to collect their bodies.”

The young patriarch smiled and said, “Bring that blood pool along the way.”

“yes.”

Rome is a very famous city, and many movies are shot here.

The most famous one, and the one that can most impress men and women in love, is of course the Roman Holiday. At the end of the film, the reporter Joe asked the princess: “Your Highness, during this trip to Europe, which city left the most beautiful impression on you?” Audrey Hepburn didn’t think much, her beautiful eyes could speak: ” Rome, of course Rome.”

Rome, of course Rome.

Repeating means affirmation, there is no better place to spend a honeymoon than this country, where too many romantic stories have been staged.

The stone steps leading to the Three Holy Mountains, the fountain by the Plaza de España, the small shops by the Tiber River, and the pillars of the Arena.

Yi Tianxing took Zou Leilei’s hand and walked slowly in these places. He didn’t talk too much, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, enjoying the subtle beauty of every second.

The sun shines down from the sky, shining in the city of Rome.

Lei Lei is wearing a small hat, looking elegant and cute.

When the light is cleared, a sense of holiness suddenly arises.

“Hey, I didn’t wash my hands clean.”

Yi Tianxing bought a flower in that famous flower shop, and gently pinned it to Leilei’s hat brim. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little bit of mud in her fingernails.

“It’s inside, it can’t be washed off.” Leilei pursed her mouth, angrily, “It’s all your fault.”

Yi Tianxing wondered, wondering what this had to do with him.

“According to what you said before, Xiao Yizhu and I went to Huai’an, Jiangsu.” Lei Lei said softly.

Yi Tianxing frowned and asked, “Did you find anything?”

“No.” Zou Leilei shook her head, “There is no one in Wu Cheng’en’s tomb. After checking some information, it seems that scholars who study him are still unable to determine whether this person actually existed.”

Yi Tianxing fell into deep thought. He has always suspected that there is something wrong with the author of Journey to the West, at least it has something to do with the heavens, otherwise he suddenly remembered the jokes in Journey to the West on Wudang Mountain, and this matter would not make sense at all.

In the previous year, he and the old monkey studied Journey to the West thoroughly, and finally the old monkey gave a two-character comment: “Fart.” Then he gave a four-character comment: “Acquaintances fart.”

It should indeed be an acquaintance of Lao Hou, otherwise there are some things that the Sheyang Mountain people would never know.

“Is it going well?” He woke up from his contemplation and asked.

Zou Leilei gave him a helpless look: “Dig the tomb in the middle of the night. If the state cultural relics management department finds out, it will be a disaster. What success can there be?”

Yi Tianxing smiled and hugged her into his arms, and slapped her bright forehead hard: “It’s hard work.”

Just imagine, on a dark and windy night, such a pure and beautiful girl led a beautiful and lovely child to secretly dig up the graves of the ancestors in the mountains and forests. It is indeed an unimaginable picture.

“Chen Shuping is in the provincial capital.” Zou Leilei told him.

“Oh, something happened in the sky.” This was Yi Tianxing’s first instinct, and it was really accurate.

“I heard Erlang God disappeared again.”

“Nonsence”

Boys and girls held hands and walked slowly until they came to the vicinity of the Pantheon.

There is a church of Our Lady of Cosmedi, which was not famous at all until the movie Roman Holiday came out. On the corridor facing the church, there is a disc stone mask embedded in the wall. In the movie, the reporter Joe played by Gregory Peck said to Princess Anne that this is the mouth of the truth, and if anyone is lying, it will kill anyone hand bit off.

Movies are popular all over the world, and this word of truth will becomeIt is a must-see classic attraction for tourists who come to Rome. No matter what time of day, tourists line up in long queues. Thousands of hands of various skin colors touch the mouth of the truth. The big mouth has been worn out. Incredibly smooth.

Yi Tianxing frowned and said: “The line is too long, let’s not line up.”

Zou Leilei didn’t agree, she grabbed his hand and acted like a baby: “Whatever you want.”

Miss Lei Lei seldom acts like a spoiled child, and once in a while, Yi Tianxing’s body was so tender that he could only go to line up with a smirk. They waited until dusk and sunset, and it was the turn of the young couple.

“This is just the marble mask of the river god in ancient times. Later, the church installed it on the wall to block the water pipes on the wall. There is no such thing as anyone who tells a lie will be bitten.”

Yi Tianxing explained to the girl Leilei beside him, but he still refused to put his hand into the big mouth of the stone mask.

Lei Lei glared at him, then pushed him: “Stretch in.”

“Cut” Yi Tianxing said proudly: “Stretch it, anyway, I have never told a lie in front of you.”

He slowly put his right palm into the big mouth of the mask.

Zou Leilei looked at him with a smile: “Then I will start asking.”

“Just ask.”

“Do you love me”

“Love.”

“Do you love me the most?”

“yes.”

“Do you only love me?”

After hesitating for about one-fiftieth of a second, a small fairy sword full of aura floated in Yi Tianxing’s mind, whizzing; The white ribbon on the side is chirping.

“Of course” he growled.

The night has come to the city of Rome, the moonlight swayed slightly, Yi Tianxing’s face changed, a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead, and a loud cry burst out from his mouth.

“Ah, I was bitten.” He tried his best to pull his hand out of the big mouth of the stone mask, but he couldn’t pull it out no matter what.

Zou Leilei panicked, she didn’t have time to think about it, she rushed forward and helped him pull it out vigorously.

Only the passers-by on the street, perhaps seeing too much of this little trick, smiled and looked at this foolish couple.

“Hee hee, I lied to you.” Yi Tianxing took her into his arms and comforted her.

This is a must-play trick between lovers, but Zou Leilei has a calm temperament, but she can’t think of it here.

Yi Tianxing was about to pull out his hand, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Today’s moonlight is a bit strange, with traces of blood red in the silver.

Behind the stone mask is a water pipe, which leads directly to the ground. No one knows that at this time, the water flowing in this water pipe is bright red, like blood.

“What’s the matter?” Zou Leilei lightly slapped him on the shoulder, seeing him a little weird, and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.” Yi Tianxing felt that his hand had been bitten by the big mouth, and a strange sucking force was trying to absorb the true essence from his body. He turned his head, looked at Lei Lei and smiled: “A little Little trouble.”

A gloomy and dark force came out from the big mouth of the mask. He looked up at the sky, the silver moon was like yesterday, and some birds were flying in the distance. It was St. Peter’s Square. The blood race did not have enough strength and courage to enter the Holy See I don’t know what’s weird about this masked stone statue.

“Speaking the truth from the mouth of the truth is really suitable for the occasion.” Yi Tianxing smiled, and then a golden light flashed in his pupils, and he slowly opened his lips. From his lips, the Buddha Zong Zhiguang six-character mantra whispered: “Mani Ba Moo.”

Every time a word is uttered, the aura on his body changes, especially the penultimate word ambiguous, which is recited in a powerful and sonorous manner.

The ambiguous word relieves the hunger and thirst of hungry ghosts.

After reading the mantra, a burst of unstoppable fire burst out of his body. The world was disturbed by this, the wind stopped, and the fountain on the Plaza de España suddenly stopped, startling countless tourists.

Yi Tianxing snorted, and poured a fire element along his right hand into the big mouth of the mask of the mouth of the mantra, and escaped the water pipe, not knowing where to kill.

A dry but pure atmosphere enveloped the surroundings of the church.

Thousands of miles away, there is a pool of blood rippling, which is very disgusting to look at. Beside the pool, many blood races are doing exercises with their eyes closed.

Suddenly, an authentic holy light flashed in the blood water, and under the high temperature transpiration, the blood water in the blood pool was scorched clean immediately.

Beside the pool of blood is the Akavian family. The family is an outcast from vampire society. Their blood is cursed, and their minds often become deranged and crazy. Crazy can make people powerful, but they met an existence that was too powerful today.

Seeing that the highest blood pool of the secret tribe was evaporated by the oriental ascetic, the vampires cursed and howled in pain, with horrified expressions on their faces, and all kinds of screams echoed in the secret room.

“Wait a moment.” Yi Tianxing said softly, the golden color in his pupils gradually fading.

With a scoffing sound, the water pipe covered by the mouth of the mantra was melted into a lump of iron. He pulled his hand back, shook his clothes, and disappeared outside the Church of Our Lady.

A moment later, he was back outside the Church of Our Lady.

“It’s okay”

“It’s okay.”

Yi Tianxing took Leilei’s soft littlehand, disappeared into the night in Rome, and he was going to take his wife to Venice to row the gondola.

In a secluded river in the city of Venice, a slender boat was gently rippling on the water, and Yi Tianxing bought the boat with banknotes.

The two didn’t speak, just let the boat float on the river in Venice, going wherever they wanted.

Yi Tianxing didn’t have any expression on his face, but he held Zou Leilei’s hand tightly.

The moonlight shines on the water and reflects to the small arch bridge on the river, setting off the residential houses of different heights on both sides of the river, giving it a sense of tranquility and beauty.

It seems that the previous battle at the church never happened.

In the moonlight, wings descended from the sky and landed on the bow of the two boats with the whistling sound of the wind.

Somewhere in the mountains and forests of Eastern Europe, the wise Vlad led his family’s vampires to the secret residence of the Akavian family. He was ordered by the patriarch to snatch the blood pool.

In his view, since this family has provoked Yi Tianxing, it is natural that they will suffer heavy casualties now.

But when he walked into the secret room, he found bat corpses all over the floor, and then he realized that he still underestimated Yi Tianxing’s cruelty.

Among the broken limbs, there was not a trace of blood stains in the secret room, and the blood pool, the supreme magic weapon of the blood family, was also melted into a strangely shaped useless stone by some kind of terrifying high temperature.

Vlad knew that he would not be able to take advantage of anything, and thinking of the method of learning from Buddhism, he couldn’t help but lose his mind for a moment, and muttered:

“Top you a lung.”:
