Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had a common Western friend named Arthur, a demon hunter from the Holy Court Tribunal.

After getting to know Arthur, Qi Xuansu also learned a little Western and could communicate simply with the help of gestures. Later, when Qi Xuansu went to Shanggong to study, he also learned some "Western learning". After all, Daomen's maritime trade business requires dealing with Westerners, and knowledge in this area is indispensable. Only by learning "Western learning" well can you enter the Shibo Hall. On the other hand, Westerners also need "Eastern contacts" to do business with the East.

Westerners have very long names. The higher the family background, the longer the name, to an outrageous degree. In terms of length alone, the combined surnames, surnames, given names, characters, and titles of the Easterners cannot compare. Perhaps only the posthumous titles of later emperors can compete with it.

Qi Xuansu noticed that the word "Feng" often appeared in the names of Westerners. Later he learned that the word "Feng" was a transliteration, meaning where it came from. Westerners like to regard the place where their ancestors were entrusted as A surname proves one's noble ancestry. However, Qi Xuansu thought about it and realized that the same was true for Easterners. Surnames such as Situ, Sima, Changsun, and Tantai were either related to the ancestors' official positions or to the ancestors' fiefdoms. The eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother.

The so-called "Renatus of Dragon Castle", using Western writing habits, should be "Renatus from Dragon Castle". In fact, Easterners also have a similar habit. When addressing important figures such as the prime minister, they always add the surname Their hometowns are usually at the county level. For example, the former prime ministers Xu Huating and Zhang Jiangling were Huating and Jiangling counties. Anyone who can connect his name with the name of a place, no matter what, is a big shot.

From this point of view, Renatus is a nobleman, and a powerful nobleman, but for some unknown reason, he left his hometown and came to the east.

At this time, the two of them got into a stance and faced each other from a distance.

Jiachen Lingguan was not careless. He held his shield in front of him, bowed his body slightly, and then said to the three of them: "Keep walking. If I can deal with my opponent, I will naturally catch up with you. If I am delayed, you don't have to wait. Me, do my own thing."

Without saying anything, the three of them bypassed Renatus and headed towards the opposite exit.

Renatus did not try to stop him because the opponent in front of him was very powerful. Any distraction would be disrespectful to the opponent in front of him and irresponsible to himself.

Jiachen Lingguan exclaimed: "I am a first-grade Taoist Lingguan, numbered Jiachen, and I want to teach you your unique skills."

Renatus held the sword with both hands, without praying or chanting, just striding over in an ordinary manner.

The two approached quickly.

In the process of walking, Renatus's whole body was coated with a layer of sacred white light. If this place is regarded as a picture scroll, then it is as if he was detached from the picture along the edge, and The flame of the big sword in his hand rose and rose again and again, like a huge torch.

Immediately afterwards, a halo appeared under his feet, emitting pure light, and the center of the circle kept moving with his footsteps.

Although both Buddhism and the Holy Court are called Western religions, and both respect light, the light of the two is not connected. The light of Buddhism is either golden light or seven-colored light, while the light of the Holy Court is pure white light. A vast expanse of white, without any impurities.

The aura of an ordinary paladin can only cover a few feet in radius, but Renatus's aura will continue to extend, covering almost half of the cave hall. Rather than stepping on the aura, he looks like he is stepping on a formation.

The halo constantly emits a purifying aura to the surroundings. This purification is very overbearing and even faintly conveys the meaning of "Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish." Everything that is incompatible with it will be removed, and only what remains Pure light, so this light has extremely powerful offensive power. And things that are compatible with it will be greatly benefited and improved.

Simply put, weaken your opponent and improve yourself.

This is the "sacred halo of purification and protection" that can only be used by the legendary semi-holy knight, or "sacred brilliance" for short.

Immediately afterwards, a second halo appeared under Renatus's feet. It was not as overbearing as the "holy halo", but it was as gentle and silent as moisturizing things. It would hardly have any impact or harm on the human body, but it directly reached the soul, using In Eastern parlance, it means "attacking the heart"

superior".

In fact, the Holy Court and Buddhism have many similarities. The so-called "salvation" is quite similar to the "salvation" of Buddhism. Buddhism has Mahayana Buddhism that saves all living beings and requires everyone to become a Buddha. The Holy Court believes that everyone in the world is a lost lamb. The Holy Court has the obligation to guide them in the right direction.

"Redemption" is to guide the direction. In fact, it is similar to the "God of Chaos", infusing the opponent with divine power. If the cultivation level of the two sides is very different, the opponent can be made to "repent" and repent according to the teachings of the Holy Court. And becoming the attendant of the Paladin, the specific time depends on the cultivation level, it may be a few breaths, or it may be a lifetime.

If both sides are similar, it can play a role in eroding the opponent's will and softening the opponent's mind.

With the blessing of "Holy Aura", "Aura of Redemption" becomes "Aura of Holy Redemption", and the effect is even higher.

However, Jiachen Lingguan was not afraid at all. The Taoist sect had considered this possibility when designing the Lingguan system. Don't forget that the biggest opponent of Taoism at that time was Buddhism, and Buddhism was best at using Buddha's light to forcibly convert people from the soul level. If they create powerful spiritual officials but are converted by Buddhism, wouldn't they be making wedding clothes for others? Therefore, Daomen made a special design on the helmet of the spirit officer to isolate this type of infusion method. Therefore, it can also be seen that spiritual officers almost never take off their helmets when on duty.

Jiachen Spirit Officer was not affected by "Redemption" and also strode forward, slashing out with his sword.

This sword is strangely different from the "Magic Knife". It is as fast as thunder and is completely a skill honed on the battlefield. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the man in black. It is unpretentious and pure. The divine power of the spirit officer blends with the evil spirit of the weapon itself. As one body, it turned into a sword energy that was completely different from the Five Immortals system, and directly slashed Renatus who was holding a two-handed sword.

Renatus raised his two-handed sword high and slashed it down, the white flames on the sword trailing an arc-shaped flame tail.

The swords clashed together.

The entire hall shook violently, and countless dust and gravel fell.

The huge aftermath swept across the entire cave hall, completely smoothing the originally slightly uneven floor, which was comparable to the surface of a glass mirror, without even a trace of burrs or polishing marks.

In an instant, the paladin's "holy halo" was activated to the extreme. Countless light points emerged from the huge array-like halo beneath his feet, constantly fueling the "arrogance" of the long sword, causing it to rise again and again, almost touching the hole. The dome of the hall. At the same time, he also eroded the Lingguan armor on Jiachen.

But at this moment, a yin-yang double fish pattern appeared behind Jiachen Lingguan, which was the symbol of the Taoist gate. It slowly rotated, absorbing the white light spots, and then transformed into an equal number of black spots and other White light spots neutralize and maintain balance.

After such a stalemate for a moment, Jiachen Lingguan held the sword in one hand and took a step back.

Renatus slashed down with his sword.

But at this moment, Jiachen Lingguan shrank, hid behind his shield, and slammed forward with the force of an iron mountain.

The big sword fell on the shield, and the shield was instantly stained with a layer of white flames, but it was not damaged. Instead, the big sword was bounced back a short distance by the force of the shock coming from the shield.

Renatus's eyes were bright and glowing, producing countless white flames.

The tortoise shell patterns on Jiachen Lingguan's shield spread out, and this turned out to be a real formation diagram. It even "overflowed" the edge of the shield and continued to spread into the surrounding void, as if extending through the sword radiance and sword energy. The sword was of average length, which invisibly expanded the shield's protective area several times. While blocking the flames, it also completely blocked the Jiachen Spirit Officer and blocked Renatus' sight.

Immediately afterwards, a knife penetrated the formation without warning. The formation was facing the outside but not the inside. It could withstand Renatus's flames, but it would not become an obstacle for the Jiachen Spirit Officer to use his sword.

This sword was very insidious, and the sword was not good at defending at close range. Renatus could only choose to resist this sword with his armor.

After all, this armor cannot be compared with the Lingguan armor. Although it was not pierced, the two rubies inlaid on the armor were directly cracked, and the runes on the armor suddenly became much darker.

Renatus had to take a few steps back and distance himself.

Then he thrust the sword with both hands into the ground in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground, as if he bowed his head in prayer.

The next moment, a burst of fire seemed to come out of thin air, covering Jiachen Spirit Officer.

These fires seemed harmless, so the shields, array diagrams, and even the Spirit Officer's helmet had no effect.

This is "judgment" in parallel with "redemption", also known as "The Tribunal's Torture of the Seven Deadly Sins."

In other words, ask the heart.

These fires seemed to come from hell. They were clearly flames that should bring light, but they gave off a dark feeling. It was as if a bonfire was lit in the middle of the night. The light it brought was very weak, but instead aggravated the surrounding darkness. I could see vaguely in the night. With this little light, I could only see the small area in front of me and nothing else. It is diametrically opposed to, and even in conflict with, the previous brightness and holiness, and all kinds of negative atmospheres follow.

Jiachen Lingguan is not a person who loves to kill indiscriminately, but his duty and many years of battlefield experience still allow him to kill countless people. The blood debt on his hands will only be more than Qi Xuansu's, not less than Qi Xuansu's.

Under the torture of "judgment", those who were killed "revolted" at this moment. It seemed that the pain before their death was all acting on Jiachen Spirit Officer. In fact, it was the "judgment" that caused Jiachen Spirit Officer The self-blame, guilt, guilt and other emotions in the officer's heart are equivalent to guiding Jiachen Lingguan to kill himself.

This method is not incomprehensible. For those who cultivate their minds, it is almost like a breeze blowing on their faces. As long as you have a firm belief and no negative emotions such as guilt or self-blame, you can remain indifferent to people who are cultivating their power. I am afraid that my hands will keep killing people, and my heart is entangled, struggling, repeating, and wavering, and the word "death" will immediately come to mind.
