Chapter 129: Holy Moon Church.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Nanzhao Kingdom was located in the Southwest direction of the Tang Empire and was a few tens of thousands of li away from Chang’an City.
For an ordinary person, it may take ten or even decades to complete such a long distance travel, it may even be difficult to cross it for a lifetime.
But in Su Qin’s eyes, it’s just a matter of hours.
And this was under the premise that Su Qin was taking his time. Otherwise, if he does his best, an hour will be enough.
Although the Nanzhao Kingdom is also a country, it was far inferior compared to the Tang Empire in terms of strength, and most of its territory is uncivilized.
In the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Holy Moon Church and the Lord of Nanzhao Kingdom, a disciple of the Holy Moon Church, worship the Moon Good.
At the same time, outside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Su Qin was standing there quietly, looking into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
“Where is it?”
Su Qin thought silently in his heart.
According to the position he locked on to, the sword light brand he planted stopped in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Thinking of this, Su Qin took a step forward and disappeared in place.
In the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, more than 20 miles away from the Sword Light brand, Su Qin slowed down and walked step by step.
Su Qin was doing this because one, to see if there was a place nearby that he can Sign In and two, check the auras within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains with the [Eyes of Truth].
Although Su Qin doesn’t think that there is something that can threaten him in the Holy Moon Church, in any case, it’s better to be cautious.
While Su Qin was walking down the mountain road, on another mountain road not far away, five, six figures suddenly appeared.
Except for an older middle-aged man, the rest were all young girls.
At this moment, these young girls were curiously looking at everything around them.
Su Qin wasn’t surprised at their sudden appearance. He had already noticed their existence long ago. Though, although he knew, the other party certainly didn’t. Especially the middle-aged man, his face changed slightly when he saw Su Qin.
“Your Excellency is also going to worship at the Holy Moon Church?”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a bit before cautiously asking.
“Yes.” Su Qin simply replied.
Other than the middle-aged man who has some Internal Strength, which barely makes him a Martial Artist, the rest of the girls were simply ordinary people.
“That’s great.”
“We are also on the way.”
The middle-aged man slightly relaxed, he said in a friendly tone: “I am a Martial Artist from the Qingyang Town nearby. These are the disciples that our town sent to the Holy Moon Church this year.”
The middle-aged man explained.
The middle-aged man is named Hong Fei, from Qingyang Town outside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. According to him, the reason why they were in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains this time was to bring disciples to the Holy Moon Church.
The Holy Moon Church is the state religion of Nanzhao Kingdom, and its status is higher than that of the Kingdom’s Lord. Therefore, every year, a large number of Nanzhao citizens send their children to Holy Moon Church.
If you were chosen and entered the Holy Moon Church, your status will definitely skyrocket.
This is the middle-aged man’s purpose for coming here. He brought all of the eligible teenagers in his town and was sending them to the Holy Moon Church. As long as one of them is selected, it will greatly benefit Qingyang Town.
“Your Excellency should be a Martial Artist, what brings him to the Holy Moon Church?”
The middle-aged man, Hong Fei, glanced at Su Qin and asked tentatively.
Su Qin’s aura was hidden and is no different from an ordinary person in other people’s view; but in Hong Fei’s opinion, if Su Qin is an ordinary person, how can he dare to come to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?
Hence, Hong Fei thinks that Su Qin must be a powerful Martial Artist.
In fact, it was not uncommon for Martial Artists like Su Qin to appear in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. There were many who came every year, all for the purpose of visiting the Holy Moon Church.
When Su Qin heard this, he was too lazy to answer.
When Hong Fei saw this, he became more convinced of his own judgment.
But since Su Qin did not speak, Hong Fei did not dare to continue talking. He just followed Su Qin with the young girls behind him.
“Listen, when we arrive in the Holy Moon Church, don’t look around rudely, in case you disturb an envoy. That will bring disaster to Qingyang Town.” Hong Fei looked towards the young girls and warned.
“Uncle Hong, is the Holy Moon Church so great?” At this moment, a teenager couldn’t help but ask.
“Great?”
Hong Fei shook his head and said: “A few years ago, a disciple of the Holy Sect went to the Capital and was greeted by the Lord and Ministers outside even before he arrived. They gave him such a warm welcome.”
“Now, say, is it not great?”
Hong Fei said.
The teenager who asked the question, shrank her head back and was afraid to continue to say another word. The other girls were equally shocked.
For them, the person with the highest status is the mayor of their town. As for the Lord of Nanzhao Kingdom, he is even more of a legendary figure to them.
But now it seems that the so-called Nanzhao Kingdom Lord is nothing in front of the Holy Moon Church.
“Then…then what should we do?” A girl who looked like she was carved from jade, timidly asked.
“Do what the Holy Moon Church tells you to do what you do.” Hong Fei said seriously: “Remember, be careful with your actions.”
“I’ll remember.”
“Me too.”
The girls quickly agreed.
“You girls are lucky.”
Hong Fei suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face: “Recently, the Holy Moon Church is offering sacrifices to the Moon God, so they have relaxed the requirement for recruiting disciples. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to enter the door of the Holy Moon Church, let alone become a disciple…”
Hong Fei was full of emotion when he said this.
“Sacrifice to the Moon God?”
Su Qin who was walking in front suddenly asked.
Before he came here, he had indeed read from the history books that the Holy Moon Church would worship the Moon God every ten years and give sacrifices.
“It is the most dignified day to worship the Moon God. All of the disciples will return to Holy Moon Church on this day.”
‘This is a good thing that they are gathered together, at least I don’t have to deal with remnants in the future.’
Su Qin thought silently.
Two hours later, after traveling on a long mountain road, Su Qin finally arrived outside the Holy Moon Church.
At this time, Su Qin’s location is on a mountain, and in front of him is a chain bridge that spans two peaks.
As for the Holy Moon Church, it is located on the other side of the chain bridge, which is a full ten miles away.
“Here we are.”
“There is the Holy Moon Church.”
Hong Fei relaxed and pointed to the other side.
“It’s magnificent…” The teenagers muttered to themselves with wide eyes.
