The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 873: Pilgrimage Mission
December 23rd.

The sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and everything goes well.

Suitable for praying, traveling, and moving.

It is a perfect time for the four countries' delegations to meet up for the Divine Blessing Pilgrimage.

If we talk about this "divine blessing pilgrimage", the overall process is divided into three steps:

The first step is for the temple to send a high priest to lead a team to patrol the country, pray for peace, and make sure the people are safe and the weather is good.

The second step is for the pilgrims from the four countries to meet and welcome the temple.

The third step is to take the lead in the temple and attend the holy occasion together.

Therefore, it can be said that the meeting of the four-nation pilgrim delegation is a very important node, representing that the four seas have become united under the rule of the temple, and the glory of the Supreme God is spreading throughout the world.

Then the question is where to choose the meeting place.

The four countries argued endlessly about this issue, but there was no answer.

If it is set up in a temple, it will naturally be the most solemn and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, one cannot enter the temple without permission, and even the high priest must report on his duties on time before entering.

Secondly, the temple is too holy and pure to reflect the compassion for human suffering.

If it is set up within a country, it will inevitably be unfair.

On the one hand, the country would worry about outsiders taking advantage of the country to cause trouble; on the other hand, it was greedy for the honor of being favored by the gods.

These contradictory thoughts are so contradictory that they can't make sense at all.

Finally, we reached a consensus with great difficulty.

Until some genius came up with an idea and suggested, "How about we meet at the Great Wall in the North?"

When this statement was made, there was almost no objection.

Although the Northern Great Wall belonged to the Tang Dynasty and was guarded by the Tang Dynasty, its geographical location spanned the Tang Dynasty and Mobei. Symbolically, it could be seen as the first line of defense for the four countries to resist disasters.

More importantly, the Great Wall is located at the border of the abyss, the most dangerous, the most miserable place in the world, and the place that most needs the protection of the gods.

Therefore, the last stop of the pilgrimage was set at the Great Wall in the north.

However, in order to avoid the suspicion of "entering another country without permission", the pilgrimage teams from the four countries did not take the land route, but instead took the Sky Road.

The Heavenly Road doesn’t just lead to the snow-capped mountains.

Likewise, it can also lead to the abyss.

The closest place to the abyss is naturally the Great Wall in the North.

……

The Tang Kingdom's divinely blessed pilgrim delegation was traveling on the Heavenly Road.

On both sides is the deep and bottomless abyss sea.

The fog was rolling, and the darkness was hazy. From time to time, vague shadows would writhe and struggle in it, stretching out twisted limbs or wriggling tentacles, trying to drag the priests on the road into it from the edge of the road.

Fortunately, whenever these strange hands approached, a holy soft light would rise from under everyone's feet, burning those tentacle-like shadows and forcing them to retreat in panic.

And temporarily gained a bit of peace and quiet.

However, the road ahead was still dark and the road to heaven was gloomy and silent, as if there was no end.

At this moment, there are less than ten people left in the Tang Dynasty's pilgrimage delegation.

Moreover, even the horse-drawn carriages had been abandoned on this day's road, so one could only walk in the wind and snow.

This is part of the Divine Protection Pilgrimage, which shows the determination to resist evil with one's own body and the will to overcome darkness with faith.

Of course, the real reason was that the horses became frightened and out of control as soon as they stepped onto the Heavenly Road, and the carriage could not be used at all.

Therefore, even though he was a high priest, he had to get off the carriage and walk on this thorny road with everyone else.

Fortunately, the great priest Mei never took his status seriously and always walked in the front, using his holy sword to cut through the layers of black fog and blocking many sudden attacks.

Even so, several priests still died on the Heavenly Road, so there are only these eight left.

But the miraculous thing is that after these eight people were left, there were no more casualties.

I didn't know how far I had walked when I suddenly saw a ray of light in the distance tearing through the darkness, outlining the outline of a crystal and towering city wall.

On the city wall, a faint golden glow was pouring down like a waterfall, and the shadow of a giant tree with a full crown of snow stood between heaven and earth, dispelling all the icy clouds that were pressing down on it, like a miracle. Seeing this scene, Song Haiyin couldn't help but stop, feeling both panic and an indescribable sense of closeness and awe.

"Well, Priest Song," High Priest Mei asked her, "what do you imagine the Great Wall to look like?"

Song Haiyin thought for a moment and replied, "It should be lonely, empty... and perhaps filled with endless despair."

In short, it is definitely not what it seems.

Everyone looked at each other, still not knowing what had happened to the Great Wall.

But everyone felt the same way as Song Haiyin, and they all had different feelings in their hearts, like...

"mom!"

A young priest suddenly cried out, fell to his knees with tears on his face, and looked up at the light that was like divine glory above the Great Wall.

This was the first time in days that I saw light similar to the sun.

People tend to move towards light, not to mention that this light has other meanings.

One after another, the priests knelt down and worshipped, chanting words of reverence in a low voice.

Song Haiyin covered her heart with her hands, and she felt a tentacle scratching her heart.

With a flip of her hand, she took out two potted plants from the storage bag. The pink and white plants were swaying their tender branches, murmuring softly, "Mom, mom, mom..."

Her eyes lit up and she looked towards High Priest Mei.

But the great priest Mei just smiled and stroked his white beard.

It seems he realized it a long time ago.

"Let's go." he said softly.

The priests got up excitedly and headed towards the Great Wall.

The youngest priest Yuan Wu quickly caught up with the great priest Mei and asked, "Is the earth... worshipped in this city..."

"Silence." Great Priest Mei shouted in a low voice, sweeping his eyes over everyone with a warning, "Some things... just need to be known to the heart. We will have to face priests from the other three countries, and even messengers from the temple, so don't let anything slip..."

"My Lord said that now is not the time."

When everyone heard this, they naturally restrained their expressions immediately.

Yuan Wu also pursed his lips and dared not say anything more.

He was sent by the Yuan family to be gilded. His father was Yuan Zhen, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. After the death of Cao Qian, who was also a relative of Cao Qian, he was smart and able to judge the situation and naturally sided with the Great Priest Mei. He was even the first among other priests to choose to believe in the Mother Earth.

Because of this, he benefited the most and was the first to return to the path of cultivation. His cultivation level was also raised by a whole level to the late stage of Mingzhen Realm.

Now, the closer he got to the golden light cast by the treetops, the more he could sense the sacred aura of Mother Earth. Yuan Wu could no longer hold back, so he walked a few steps faster, crossed the end of the Heavenly Road, and came to the foot of the Great Wall.

However, the closer he got to the city wall, the more he felt an invisible repulsive force, as if... it came from the bricks and tiles of the Great Wall, as if there was another huge existence looking down at his tiny existence.

Great Priest Mei has come to his side.

"There is something strange in this city."

Song Haiyin nodded at the side, but her eyes never left the treetops that were spread out like a giant umbrella in the sky.

"Let's go into the city first. Everyone be careful."

As he spoke, High Priest Mei took out a special token.

This is a token that can only be obtained by the high priest who leads the Divine Protection Tour. There is a blood stain on it, which should have come from the previous owner, High Priest Li.

The great priest Mei pressed the token on the wall of the Great Wall.

Immediately, the teeth-grinding sounds of bricks moving, rubbing and colliding were heard. The bricks surged and swirled outward with the position where the token was pressed as the center. During this time, dry fingers or deep gazes could be faintly seen between the cracks in the bricks, but upon closer inspection, they seemed like hallucinations.

After a while, the clicking sound stopped.

A deep hole appeared on the city wall, just big enough for one person to pass through.

Then, Great Priest Mei walked in first.

Song Haiyin followed closely behind, and the rest followed in a line.

As soon as the last person enters, the bricks close toward the center.

In that surging moment, the hands, feet and head of the withered corpse were clearly revealed, but they were immediately submerged by bricks until the wall was tightly closed, as if the hole had never appeared.
