"Master, you're really powerful!"
After Lin Bai had finished explaining his insights, Shang Zhuocai's admiration for Lin Bai was like an unending torrent of water, and his tone of voice was even more respectful than usual.
After all, Bai Zhiyi had not seen the problem with the Venice a few times before, and with just a few glances, Lin Bai found the crux of the problem.
"Since you admire my methods so much, can I ask you to do something small for me?" Lin Bai smiled as he looked at Shang Zhuocai and whispered.
Looking at the craftiness that filled Lin Bai's eyes, Shang Zhuocai felt as if all the hairs on his back had stood up. He looked at Lin Bai pitifully and said, "Master, I'm your direct disciple.
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you to be cannon fodder. I'm just asking you to go to that cathedral and help me investigate their background!" Although Lin Bai had a smile on his face, his heart was twisted into a knot.
Lin Bai was infuriated that even the seal of Yang Ping fell to the Heavenly Mystery Realm, which was covered by the church. If this were to happen in China, Lin Bai would definitely arrange for the Feng Shui Bureau to destroy the church's luck. But now that he was abroad, not only did he lack the materials to control the Feng Shui Department, he was also unclear about the strange methods of foreigners. Naturally, he could not act rashly.
"Aiyo, why does my stomach hurt so much?!" "I can't do it, I can't do it. Could it be that the water in this river is the water from the mother river, causing a little kid to become even more lively in my stomach?!" Seeing that the situation was bad, Shang Zhuocai reached out his hands to cover his stomach and rolled around the cabin, screaming for his life.
Seeing that, Lin Bai secretly cursed, why did I have to accept such an unreliable disciple? The cowhide blew everywhere. When it really came time to do practical things, it was like a deflated ball!
"Forget it, I still need to accept your kindness. I'll go by myself!" Lin Bai stood up, and lightly kicked Shang Zhuocai's fat stomach, then scolded him: "I'll go over myself, you're better off playing dead than going over here. Quickly go to the hospital and see if you can even give birth to a fat baby!"
St. Mark's Cathedral stands on the square of St. Mark's Square in the center of the Venice. The cathedral had five round roofs, a typical Oriental Byzantine art, but it was dedicated to a Western saint. Thousands of people visit and admire the cathedral from all over the world every day. It was once the largest church in medieval Europe, and was a classic work of architecture in the Venice.
The front is 51.8 meters long and has five arched Roman doors. The top has an eastern-style and Gothic steeple and a variety of marble statues, relief carvings and flower patterns. According to the Byzantine style, the church is a Greek cruciform with five hemispherical domes. It is a masterpiece of comprehensive art combining the Byzantine, Gothic, Islamist and Renaissance styles.
Moreover, this cathedral contained countless precious works of art. The golden bronze horse in the collection was as big as a real horse, and its divine shape was extremely vivid.
The Church of St. Mark, also known as the Golden Cathedral, was one of the most famous cathedrals in Christendom, the pride of the Venice and the starting point of the Fourth Crusade.
The glory of the Venice, the wealth of the Venice, and of course, the history and faith of the Venice.
There were countless religious Christians outside St. Mark's Cathedral. Among them, there were foreigners with tall noses and deep eye sockets, and yellow people with black hair. Therefore, Lin Bai was not very eye-catching among them.
"Lord benevolent lord, please forgive us for our sins. I am willing to kiss your toes and ask you to protect the safety of our family!"
"Please forgive us for our sin and give us happiness and peace!"
Countless people were standing around the church. Their right hands were crossed in front of their chest as they were softly chanting a Bible. The warm light shone on the faces of these people, giving them an incomparably pure and holy appearance.
Lin Bai sighed softly in his heart. It was good to have faith after all. At the very least, he would have something to entrust his heart to. It was said that the more most scientists studied, the easier it was for them to become theologians.
However, the grandmaster was different from other people, especially the one with the profound understanding of the art. The deeper he comprehended the world's principles, the more he could see what would happen in the future. However, the feeling of being powerless to change was something that no religion in the world could dispel.
Was this luck, or was this misfortune?! A bitter smile surfaced on Lin Bai's face. Sometimes, even he himself wasn't sure if he was right or wrong to embark on the peerless path of a peerless master.
"The water flow is extremely large when you open the door. Furthermore, the water flow is extremely gentle. Its length is also sufficient, showing a tendency to be stable. "The location of the church is in line with the Feng Shui school's arrangement for the construction of religious buildings. It absorbs the vitality of countless people. However, believers who come here will feel empty!" Lin Bai looked at the layout of the church and subconsciously started to study it.
However, even after trying to figure out what exactly was so strange about the church, Lin Bai still couldn't figure it out. After sighing for a bit, he turned around and was about to leave.
Just at this time, a young believer saw Lin Bai standing there dumbly and did not enter. Instead, he walked over to Lin Bai's side and asked in a stiff Chinese voice: "Sir, may I ask if you are here to repent?"
"Confession?" Lin Bai was startled, then turned his head to look at the young man and softly asked: "Why should I repent?"
"Every single one of us was born with an original sin. Furthermore, repentance is not escape, but rather, bearing. Confession is not death but regeneration. Confession is not despair but hope." The young man looked up at Lin Bai and spoke sincerely, his face was filled with sincerity, as though he believed in the original sin of Christianity.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said softly, "Let's go, bring me to repent. I've done quite a lot of bad things in the past few years, I think it's time to find a place to pour out all of these things from my stomach. "
The young man squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Bai a few times, then shook his head and laughed bitterly. Judging from this young man's age, he was probably not much older than him. Even if he was truly an evil person, how many evil things could he possibly do?
"I can only speak Chinese. Are you sure that the Priest can understand what I'm saying?" Lin Bai entered the church and went to the side of the confession room. Looking at the pitch black curtain, he felt a little apprehensive.
That Chinese youth was surprised for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, "Priests don't know Chinese, but the original sin in our hearts is the same. God can understand, so don't worry, God will forgive you for your sins!"
"Are you sure?" A mischievous look flashed across Lin Bai's face as he looked at the young man and laughed.
The Chinese youth was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sure the priest can't speak Chinese. Go in quickly, I have to greet the others at the door!"
"Go ahead, I will chat with the priest!" Lin Bai laughed and waved his hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely cunning. Seeing Lin Bai like that, the Chinese youth secretly cursed in his heart, but it was already too late for regret. Lin Bai had already walked into the confession room. The young man stamped his feet and looked around, then quickly returned to the entrance of the church, afraid that others would think that he and Lin Bai were in the same group!
"Father, how is your teeth?" After Lin Bai entered the small black room, he pondered for a moment, then, through the small black room's hole, he softly asked the priest opposite him.
How could he know what Lin Bai was mumbling about? He thought that Lin Bai was praising God, so he made a cross with his hands in front of his chest and muttered, "The merciful God will protect you, amen!"
Lin Bai was overjoyed when he heard this, he even asked Zhang Widow if he had a reaction, but it seemed that the old priest did not know Chinese, smiling as he sat on the chair, he said softly: "Speaking of crimes, I feel that I have never been at ease since I was young. I secretly peeked at Zhang Widow when I was six years old, I should not have let the adults think that it was the He family's third son who did it."
"Also, when Master went to the toilet that time, he accidentally turned his head and fell into the toilet. Actually, it wasn't the rain that emptied the bricks, but I secretly dug up the soil underneath the toilet."
"If you say you are unhappy, you should tell the priest that you are happy to hear it. Actually, after that old thing punished me, I always used to use his toothbrush to wash the toilet. Every time I saw him use my toothbrush to brush his teeth, I was that happy. "
Raising his head to look at the high dome above his head, Lin Bai sighed, and then said softly: "Now that the old fellow is dead, and I have grown up, I don't know why, but I just feel that all the things I did in the past were too foolish, and that I am sorry for the old thing's teachings!"
Time trickled by, the lights on the two sides of the river became brighter, and the bright stars gradually appeared in the sky. Lin Bai's figure still did not appear, but Shang Zhuocai and Shen Xiaoyi started to panic a little. Just as he was about to go up and look for Lin Bai, he saw Lin Bai's figure walking back shakily with two black-robed priests following behind him.
The two of them walked to the side of the boat and made a cross before looking at Shen Xiaoyi and Shang Zhuocai with sincerity, "Our Cathedral is too small, it can't hold all of your friend's sins. If he wants to repent, then he should go to the Vatican City to be bathed in the Holy Light's light."
