Chapter Eleven: God Ancestors Are Above (Part 1)

Guo Kang and Wu Han opened the door and walked into the temple lobby. They found a fat man in rich clothes looking around as if no one else was around. Several Greek priests stood around helplessly. When they saw Guo Kang coming out, they all

Like a chicken finding an old hen, it swarms toward him.

Not to mention that Guo Kang has met Sun Shiwan, even people who don't know him can guess who the owner of this nickname is after seeing him.

This man is of medium build and has a round face. Although he has a wide body, it can be seen that he is actually very strong and is not the kind of bloated person that was common in Guo Kang's previous life.

He wears a hair crown studded with pearls and jade, and wears many layers of clothes. The silk fabrics are surprisingly thin, and even though they are layered on top of each other, it seems like there are a lot of them, but they don’t add up to make them bloated.

If you look closely, you will see that each piece of clothing has more than one color, and they are all made of fine patterns woven on high-grade fine silk. Even a layman like Guo Kang can see that they are highly crafted and valuable.

His belt buckles are all made of gold, decorated with agates and precious stones. On one side of his waist is a string of high-grade jade pendants with a warm color, and on the other side hangs a scimitar with a gold and silver sheath - probably from the Tianfang sect craftsmen in North India.

Craftsmanship. Even the soap-colored boots on her feet have emerald buttons embedded in them just right.

The whole thing is colorful and green, like a Christmas tree - although this thing should not be popular in Europe yet. The whole person almost has "I am rich" written on his face.

Behind him, there were several guards. Seeing them, Guo Kang felt that he subconsciously wanted to mobilize his inner strength. Looking next to him, Wu Han's eyes also became sharp. Without him, it was just because these people were all strong and strong.

With their murderous faces, I'm afraid they are all experienced masters.

However, it's not surprising when you think about it. These people are probably the main reason why Sun Shiwan dared to wear this outfit and show off in the city. Along the way, he probably had a lot of friendly interactions with the Greek troublemakers outside. It's not to blame for being nervous at all.

Seeing Guo Kang, Sun Shiwan came over with enthusiasm and bowed when he saw him: "Master Guo is also here. Sun is flattered."

"Master Sun is so polite." Guo Kang hurriedly returned the greeting: "Sir, did you enjoy your visit to our country recently? If you need anything, just tell me."

"Nothing, nothing." Sun Shiwan waved his hands nonchalantly, but still glanced at the surrounding altars and icons: "I heard that the Queen Suo in your temple is quite efficacious and is the most famous temple in Rome. I specially brought her

After receiving the tribute, I wanted to come and pay my respects. But these monks said that there is no Suo Niangniang in the temple."

"Young master also knows that Sun has been doing business at sea all year round, and he is inevitably a little concerned about the things of ghosts and gods. Therefore, no matter which country or religion he passes by, he must visit the famous temples sincerely to satisfy the gods before he can continue.

Hit the road."

He shook his sleeves, paused, turned to Guo Kang, and said, "It's just that, why can't I see the empress in this temple? Is there some taboo about not seeing outsiders? Or maybe I think Sun's action is too shabby, everyone in the temple can see

Why not?"

Although he was still smiling, he was obviously very unhappy when he said this. However, Guo Kang was stunned for a long time and found that he had never thought about this problem.

He turned to look at Wu Han again and found that the other person also had a confused look on his face. Obviously, he didn't know this question either.

However, Wu Han only hesitated for a moment, and quickly took the initiative to say: "Sun Daguan is too worried. This temple has never worshiped the god named Suo Niangniang since it was built."

"This has always been the Temple of Heaven in our Rome. The one worshiping is Heavenly Father Aloha. It has not changed for thousands of years. This is recorded in the archives passed down from generation to generation." He explained.

"As for Suo Niang Niang... she was a small country god worshiped by the local natives in ancient times. They were generally worshiped here, so they left a common name. In fact, the real Niang Niang Temple was abandoned a long time ago.

It’s just that the people have kept the name. Just like in some cities, there is no City God’s Temple in a shop called the City God’s Temple because the temple has been moved.”

After hearing this, Guo Kang couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed taught by Wang Da Lama himself. This showed his skill. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to compile it so neatly.

"So that's it?" Sun Shiwan still looked a little confused: "But this Empress Suo, is there no sacrifice at all?"

"There is no way, it is not effective. Over time, everyone will no longer care about her." Wu Han explained: "If it is really more effective, why have everyone worshiped Aloha Tianzun instead of her for so many years? So there is no need to worry.

"

"If you are not at ease, you can go and worship the Heavenly Lord." He pointed to the altar not far away and said: "You must have seen a lot of Daqin Temple in your travels. But ours is the largest and most orthodox temple in Rome.

Temple, the merits of worshiping here are not comparable to those in small temples outside."

"Oh?" Upon hearing that this was the eldest Tianzun, Sun Shiwan immediately put the idea of ​​worshiping the empress behind him: "Then please give me some advice, sir. Sun also wants to pay homage."

"Invite you this way." Wu Han greeted him skillfully and walked towards the altar at the end of the hall.

Sun Shiwan followed him with his entourage and did not express any doubt. Because in terms of the most intuitive concept of "the largest", Wu Han was indeed telling the truth.

"This lobby is nearly thirty feet long and more than twenty feet wide. You see, the vault is also nearly twenty feet high." Wu Han introduced as he walked: "When we were designing, we deliberately made the main body

Part of it was made into a single room. There is such a large hall built in the temple. There has never been such a big hall anywhere else."

"It is indeed very grand." Sun Shiwan looked at the numerous decorations and the huge icons on the walls and said, "I am afraid that no palace in the Song and Yuan Dynasties has a hall of this size. It is estimated that only the Tang Dynasty had such a grand hall.

There must be something more than that."

"Hey, don't talk about the Central Plains, we can't build such a big one now. I don't know why, everyone is getting worse day by day. Maybe this is the end of the Dharma era." Wu Han shook his head and sighed: "Hey

, maybe I am too pessimistic. It would be great if Datang could come out again and prove what I said was wrong."

The two of them missed the Tang Dynasty for a while and lamented for a while. The Greek priest next to them looked at each other and didn't know whether to help explain.

Guo Kang told them that the two of them were seeing things and missing each other. They were remembering the Justinian era of Seris. Everyone was busy with their own things and there was no need to follow them. So the Greeks showed understanding expressions and dispersed.

Went.
