The temple of Faeus is located at the other end of the satellite, far across the planet from the space port, and its scale and layout are actually similar.
In the Galactic Era, waterways are the first. No matter how ordinary the galaxy is, the space port is always large, let alone a trading star like Xuhuixing. The volume of its spaceport is close to one-sixth to one-eighth of the total volume of Fai moon, and the main part is basically in space. Nowadays, it is incredible that a temple of the Illuminati Sect can have such a scale.
?The layout of the space port is similar, and the main part of the Temple of Faeus is also in the void. . When the airship turned around the twilight line of Faer, a magnificent hall jumped out in front of us, shining brightly in the night. The strip of silver that hangs down toward the front of the temple is a soft light silver strip that serves as the aircraft landing strip that forms the ladder structure. The top end of the ladder is connected to the main hall, and the bottom end extends to the bottom of the clouds and connects with the surface of the satellite. Surrounding the ladder is a vast three-dimensional square. Starting from the ground square, the diameter becomes wider and wider upwards, extending straight to the main hall, forming a huge cone. At this time, when the celebration was about to begin, all kinds of aircraft were flying outside the square, all coming to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. The airships are intertwined, and you can see that many of them are sparkling. They are all specially painted with marks, which look like badges, but they are very different from the common emblems of superpower nobles. They should be the marks of secular kings. It seems that the Illuminati Sect's sacrificial ceremony at the Huiwei Er Temple, in addition to the locals of Xuhui Star, there are also kings and nobles from other countries in the star field. From this point of view, the influence of the Illuminati Sect in the Copper Kettle Nebula is greater than expected, and it is not just reflected in the corner of the Xuhui Star or just the so-called Nine Star Alliance of the Rising Sun.
According to the navigation instructions, the airship docked at the entrance to the ladder on the top floor of the square, put down Gu Hanhan and others, and left immediately. At this time, the square was already crowded with people who came to worship and watch the ceremony. There were hundreds of thousands of people on the top floor alone. Seeing Gu Hanhan marveling, this was almost no smaller than the scene of worship at Lighthouse Star Mountain. .
Catalina was not surprised, and she casually mentioned that in many places in the universe, the Holy Temple was more regulated than the Lighthouse Star headquarters. The more remote and remote the place, the more traffic is blocked, the more this is the case. The largest human temple has never been in the sacred mountains and seas of the Lighthouse and the Pantheon, but at the end of the Milky Way. It is said that the temples there are relics from the past galactic era thousands of years ago. They are directly transformed on the basis of galaxies. Each star system is a temple. Many star systems are connected to form a temple group, and the brilliance almost reaches the sky. , shining to the opposite side of the Milky Way. It's just that their ship has never been to such a distant place, so they have no chance to see it with their own eyes.
"What other heretical sects are closely connected with the secular world, and they also have the ability to transform planets into temples." She said, "In comparison, this Illuminati sect's temple is nothing at all, but we happened to land here. galaxy."
This statement made Gu Hanhan feel fresh and new, and he instantly had a deeper understanding of the so-called heresy of the Temple Sect. It seems that Xuhuixing? The Light Sect is still a long way from attracting the attention of the Acropolis and being labeled as a heresy. No wonder Carter Linna and the others dared to cause trouble the very first day they came here.
As for the rumored ruins of the temple at the end of the Milky Way, Gu Hanhan didn't have any superfluous thoughts. She had not stayed in the Acropolis for too long, but it was not too short either. She had also carefully read the history of the Temple Cult. She roughly knew that there had been a period in human history when the breadth of the territory had reached its limit. It seemed that the natural chasm could never be crossed. Genetic diseases were raging in the rear, and the entire human society was filled with a sense of despair. Human beings wandering at the end of the galaxy began to place their hopes on religion and belief, and built many magnificent palaces at the cosmic level. , it seems to be a miracle so far, and what Catalina said is probably the seat among them. Because Gu Hanhan had never truly believed in the God of the Universe, he was of course not interested in these ruins and palaces. He just felt the madness of humans in that era. After all, the huge project of transforming many galaxies into pieces was very difficult, and it is very difficult now. ?Rare, let alone in the galactic era thousands of years ago. Fortunately, the Temple Cult, which later inherited the seeds of faith at that time and eventually blossomed, did not inherit this tradition. Otherwise, it is really unimaginable what the current universe would be like.
During the chat, the group crossed the square and came to the front of the temple. They were greeted by a deacon at the steps of the main hall. After seeing their tickets, they were taken into the temple. As usual, an altar is set up in the center of the temple, with a tall dome reaching to the sky above the head, a central hollow facing the void, and surrounded by pillars, sculptures and painted murals. This is the layout that all temple churches have. The only difference is the regulations. It’s just the size and the exquisiteness of the decoration, but the temple of the Illuminati Sect is a little bit different from the temple of the Lighthouse Star. Around its central altar, there are special seats for the distinguished guests who come to worship and watch the ceremony. This is not available on the Lighthouse Star.
The VIP seats are arranged around the high platform in a ring shape, divided by the middle aisle into eight large sectors and dozens or hundreds of areas. Each sector has about a thousand seats. A rough calculation shows that the entire hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Watch the festival at the same time. When Gu Hanhan entered the hall with pedestrians, more than half of the seats were already occupied. The deacon followed the map and led them to the designated seat, which was the area near the center of the first sector, very close to the front. There were already a dozen people who looked like officials and wealthy businessmen sitting on the seats, and there were many attendants sitting behind them. The general officer had already seen them, stood up and waved, and came over to greet them, so he introduced the officials and other guests present.
The person present today in Xuhui Star is mainly the deputy director of the Ministry of Trade. The rest of the guests are mostly trade officials from other planets in the Xuhui Alliance and wealthy trading businessmen. The only real foreign population is from the Queen Isabella. This is the representative of the ship. Exchanging pleasantries is unavoidable, but fortunately, if you don’t speak the language very well, having a translator can help alleviate the pain of those who are afraid of society.
Then sit down. The guests of the Queen Isabella from far away were also red ships, so they deserved special treatment, so Senior Xiaobei arranged to sit with the deputy captain, and next to him was Catalina, a wealthy businessman. . Next, Hank is an official from the Ministry of Trade, and Gu Hanhan, General Officer Xing, is considered a team member. This is still within a reasonable range, but Chrissy's position is very unreasonable. She was led directly to the front, next to Senior Xiaobei, and took a seat between Senior Xiaobei and the deputy senior.
? ! ! ! !
Gu Hanhan was puzzled for five seconds before he realized that this was Chris as the trade representative's female companion!
Bah, you blind people are blinded. His female companion is obviously his sister, and she is his legal partner! Sister still has a certificate - she once had a certificate!
But with a blind person? She couldn't care less about a concussion. She was careless and lost Jingzhou. Who told her that she didn't wear her own clothes properly and let others take advantage of her!
Gu Hanhan really didn't bring her marriage certificate with her, so she had to sit with the general officer full of complaints. She was so cruel that when she got back, she arranged for the duchess and asked her to swipe 10,000 test tubes every day. No, five Ten thousand! Anyway, I brush from morning till night, from when she opens her eyes to when she closes them!
The general officer at the provincial level was a very talkative person. Gu Hanhan planned to let the duchess avenge her shame by using the test tube, so she started chatting with the general officer at the provincial level. The two started chatting about the current sacrifice ceremony and talked about Xuhuixing's customs, trade and economy, science and technology and culture. When the topic of speculation came up, Gu Hanhan took the initiative to mention that there was Professor Ponia Goldman at Xuhuixing National University. He heard that this professor had made extraordinary achievements in the field of mathematics, especially his multi-dimensional regression hypothesis theory. It is wonderful and fascinating.
"I originally rushed to the National University today to listen to a lecture, but unfortunately I got there late. The lecture was already over when I arrived," she said with regret. "In the end, I was not able to see the professor in person, and only got a letter from him. Handouts.”
Seeing that General Officer Xing was familiar with his attitude, she simply asked directly: "I wonder if I can ask General Officer Xing to do a small favor and look for this Professor Ponia Goldman. It would be best if I could find out his address. I would like to pay a visit when I have the opportunity. There are some things that I don’t understand in the lecture notes and I hope that I can ask Professor Ponia in person. Otherwise, the spacecraft will not stay on Xuhui Star for a long time. I am worried that I will not be able to wait until the next lecture before departing. It is a pity that I missed it. .”
General Officer Xing naturally agreed, saying that as long as Professor Ponia Gaoya was still in Xuhui Star, he would definitely be found. This is not a problem, please rest assured Gu Hanhan.
She also said diligently that there was no need to bother with a visit. Just three days later, a banquet to welcome the Red Ship was expected to be held at the City Lord's Mansion. As usual, some celebrities from Xuhui Star would be invited among the guests, including many of them. Well-known figures in literary and artistic circles. It is entirely possible to include Professor Ponia on the guest list, give him an invitation, and invite him to come to the banquet. "
"At that time, you can meet the professor at the banquet and chat about topics of mutual interest, or you can invite him to your ship as a guest." She said with a smile.
Then the topic changed, and they talked about the temple of Fai Guardian. Gu Hanhan praised the majesty of the temple, which was the only one he had seen since boarding the red ship, and expressed his admiration for the prosperity of the Illuminati Sect here.
As a native of Xuhui Star and a devout believer in light, Xingtongshiguan liked such praise very much. Gu Hanhan could feel that she was proud of it from the bottom of her heart. Xing Tongshiguan also proudly mentioned that although a temple like Hui Guardian is large, it is not the largest. It is just the most common branch of the God of Light. Among the nine planets in the Rising Sun Alliance, each planet has at least three. They have two in Rising Sun, and the other one is on the Moon. As for the largest and most magnificent temple, it is of course the Holy Temple of the God of Light, the main church of all branches of the sect, but it is not on any planet.
"That is a temple in the void," he showed a longing look, "it only walks in the universe and does not stay in any part of the world. Only when the God of Light senses the piety of faith, will he walk in the sky Revealing the shadow.”
In this way, Gu Hanhan probably guessed that the so-called temple of the God of Light Main Hall should be the palace and fortress of the protector behind the Rising Sun Alliance.
"The level of the border nobles, according to Acropolis, is the country people and grass bandits who haven't cleaned the mud on their trouser legs - oh, they should be not as good as the villagers and grass bandits. After all, the Earl's father and the clan leader Stan are actually very powerful. They can come to Lighthouse Star - Xuhui Star is probably too remote..."
Gu Hanhan was running through these thoughts, but on the surface he showed great interest and enthusiasm.
"Our captain, Ms. Catalina, is actually a devout believer in the Yin Temple Faith, so she was eager to come as soon as she received the invitation for the sacrificial ceremony today," she said, "I wonder if there will be such an opportunity. If she can coincide with this grand event, visit this great temple, and bask in the blessings of the God of Light, the captain will definitely be very moved. As for making offerings, of course she will spare no expense and will never be stingy."
However, Xing Tongshiguan said that even if the temple appeared, it would only be a favor and would never accept visits from ordinary people.
"Only the high priests and the divine envoys," he said, "can visit the temple, offer sacrifices, listen to and convey the divine decrees."
"Then do you hope to see the high priest?" Gu Hanhan asked.
"Well, it's possible..." Xing Tongshiguan said.
She approached Gu Hanhan and said in a somewhat conceited and proud tone: "Miss Gu, to tell you the truth, the city lord may attend the banquet in three days' time in person. As long as the city lord attends, the high priest will naturally come with him. And , the relationship between the city lord, the high priest, and the chief priest of the temple is a master-disciple relationship, which is very close. Of course, the relationship between the high priest and our trade department has always been close. If there is a high priest, it is very likely that the chief priest will be invited in person. Come-"
"Oh, that would be great."
Gu Hanhan thanked Officer Xing for his help, and thought to himself: It seems that the palace is now nearby...
