"Jacques, tell me, how are Rosie and the others doing now?"
Jacques was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about what to say to Xu Qian, or what to say or not to say.
Xu Qian was irritable and urged: "Jacques, tell me the truth. You once said that you also want to get rid of the shackles of the Holy See. It should be in the interest of your authorities to bring me into the team, right?"
Jacques sighed: "Looking at the overall situation, your hatred of the Holy See is indeed beneficial to us. But from a personal point of view, Qian, I don't want you to be in danger. You have to know that this matter has no direct relationship with China. , you cannot use the power behind you to put pressure on the Holy See or force it to force you. If you use your personal relationships in another world, it can easily trigger an all-out war between the two worlds. After all, the Holy See, the Superconsciousness Research Society and the Magician Alliance Wearing almost the same pair of pants, they represent almost half of the extraordinary forces on earth. They are different from Daybreak. They are not a hostile force that everyone shouts to fight. It is difficult for you to get strong and widespread support. In this way, you only have yourself. Even I can't provide you with any help in this matter."
"Jacques, you don't need to say anything. I'm not a nosy person. If it hadn't been for the last chance encounter, I wouldn't have cared about anything that happened to them. Even if I knew the cause and effect, I would just sigh. But Luo This young man in Xi is pretty good, and he is my friend. Since he is a friend, I have no reason to ignore him. Jacques, you are also my friend, I think you should support my choice. "
How could Jacques not hear the implication of Xu Qian's words? If one day you need me to go deep into the tiger's den without fear of strong enemies, I will do the same.
At this point, Jacques could not avoid it. He said slowly: "Rossi escaped! It was Barre who gave his life in exchange for Rossi's chance to escape. But everyone else, including Rossi's brother René, all He was taken away by people from the Holy See.”
"Barre is dead? They want to use Rene and Daniel to lure Rossi into the trap?" Xu Qian reacted quickly and immediately thought of the Holy See's intention to arrest the person.
"According to our intelligence, they are being held in a major seminary on the outskirts of Paris. They are indeed waiting for Rossi to surrender."
"If you leave this badly damaged street without renovation, I'm afraid they won't let you!"
"That's right! After the incident, without waiting for us to investigate, the people from the Holy See informed us that it was them who did it, and asked us to keep the streets as they were."
Needless to think about it, the purpose of keeping the streets as they were was to arouse Rossi's hatred and increase the probability that he would come to kill him.
"Jacques, if something happens to the Holy See's monastery on your property, do you want to take responsibility?"
"Qian! Don't be impulsive! I know what you want to do. In fact, you can solve this matter in other ways, such as negotiating with the Holy See. With your current status in the monk world, I believe they will consider you. Portions.”
"Negotiation?" Xu Qian snorted coldly, "The rules of the monk circle are that problems can be solved with fists, and they will not use words like politicians. Don't worry, as long as they are beaten enough, they will not have the strength to find It's your business." He knew very well that, let alone the reason why the Holy See insisted on catching Rossi, the two sides could not get around Barre's life alone!
"Another thing you must pay attention to is that the Holy See has been able to stand for so many years, and no one dares to offend the Brahma City. Not only because of their own strength, but also because their number of believers all over the world exceeds that of any other country. The population of a country is such a huge force. If you go to the Holy See to cause trouble, it means that you are likely to face billions of people at the same time verbally and verbally criticizing you."
"I know what I'm doing and I have my response to that."
Xu Qian hung up the phone and glanced at Qinglong who was playing games at the side, "Uncle Master, are you interested in having a fight with me?"
"I'm not interested, and no one can beat me. The game is still interesting."
Xu Qian cursed in his mind, "No one can beat you and you feel bored. After being abused in the game, you have to get angry again. It's really difficult to take care of you."
"You must have never seen magic in reality!"
"Magic? Like in the game?"
Xu Qian nodded slightly.
Qinglong immediately put down his phone, his eyes glowing with golden light, "Okay! I'll go!"
Monks and magicians are similar but different. It is said that the power of monks comes from faith, which they call God-given power, while magicians cultivate spiritual power. In the final analysis, they are all about the cultivation of spiritual consciousness, rather than the cultivation of the physical body or the sea of qi. Xu Qian speculated that these two paths of cultivation should belong to different types of cultivation, such as demon cultivation, ghost cultivation, secret cultivation, etc., but this one spread to Europe for some reason, and later split into two Paths that go hand in hand. It is a pity that the lack of Qi Sea means that you will not be able to climb the ladder to heaven. It may be that this method has lost the cultivation method of Qi Sea and only retained the cultivation of spiritual consciousness, which has led to this path becoming more and more crooked. It broke away from the Chinese orthodoxy of cultivating immortals and formed its own system.
From the perspective of the ultimate goal of cultivation, the purpose of orthodox cultivation is to become an immortal. However, because monks and magicians do not have the sea of qi, they are cut off from the path of cultivation. Their upper limit is equivalent to the realm of Taiqing, which is only the way of heaven. Under the restrictions, there seems to be no difference between the two. After all, the immortal cultivator is also stuck in Taiqing and cannot go further. This can also explain why monks have believed in gods rather than immortals since ancient times, and they have never believed that humans can become gods or exist side by side with gods. Human beings can only crawl at the feet of gods and serve as slaves. Cultivation is Follow God’s will. The idea of immortal cultivation is that man can conquer heaven. After continuous practice, man can become the supreme being. The essence of practice is to go against heaven.
Magicians also originated from respect for gods, but as they developed, more understanding of laws was added. They began to explore the combination of human consciousness and unconscious laws and their application in various fields. After some people achieved some new successes, they gradually became dissatisfied with the power of faith gained from simply respecting heaven and gods, but took the initiative to study The relationship between people and laws. This is very similar to the formations in the civilization of cultivating immortals. After taking a different path later, the magicians got tired of fearing the gods and their self-confidence was improved. If they had not missed an extremely important link in their cultivation, then they would most likely return to the orthodox track of cultivating immortals and finally become It is similar to a monk who enters Taoism through formations or alchemy.
The Holy See is a monastic organization with an ancient heritage. Its scope of influence far exceeds the concept of the country. In the long past, the imperial power was just a puppet in front of the divine power that the Holy See relied on. To this day, although the Holy See has control and influence has dropped significantly, but due to the arrival of angels in the past twenty years, countries within the sphere of influence of the Holy See are once again facing the crisis of being controlled by it. The popular government, represented by President Jacques Filardi, wants a world in which ordinary people are the main interests, while the monastic group represented by the Holy See dreams of restoring a society where theocracy is supreme and worshiped by all people.
The head of the Holy See is called the Pope, and it consists of four major functional agencies: the archbishop, cardinals, deacons and tribunals. The archbishop is the leader of the major seminary, the first-level external institution of the Holy See, which is equivalent to a prince. In a big country like France, the Holy See will set up an archbishop. Cardinals are on the same level as archbishops. The difference is that cardinals generally do not leave Vatican City, the headquarters of the Holy See, and are equivalent to officials in the capital. The biggest difference between an archbishop and a cardinal is that the cardinal is essentially a candidate for the pope. If the current pope dies, the new pope will be chosen among the cardinals, and the archbishop does not take over the pope's position. Qualifications.
The Deacons are the daily affairs handling organization that ensures the normal operation of the Holy See. The Inquisition is a violent institution. When the Holy See needs to use force to solve a problem, the Inquisition is usually responsible for solving it.
Vatican City, as the headquarters of the Holy See, is not located in France, but in neighboring Italy. Xu Qian and Qinglong want to kill Brahma City, but it will be difficult for Jacques to arrange it. The trip is okay. If they have a fight with the French, Jacques will definitely get burned, which is not in the interests of the country.
