Chapter 202: The Trip Rope From Ancient Times
"Good day, dear Father St. Ryan, I am Dal Francisco. I am now a cardinal of the Holy See. I am very happy to see your holy face!"
Before he had time to understand what happened, he was already blocked by the cardinal and others who had been waiting here for a long time.
I have to say that he is full of sincerity and speaks authentic Chinese as soon as he speaks.
Obviously, he had done enough homework before coming, and the person who came was very suitable. At least he understood Eastern culture.
Of course he knew the purpose of the other party's visit, it was nothing more than the Archbishop Paul who was currently locked up in the dungeon, and the two-winged angel on his body.
But now is not the time to do this, because the moment I came back, I could already feel the mixed emotions of panic in the entire Rainbow Town.
He is a god and this is his territory, so he knows something big is probably going on.
As for the two-winged angels or Archbishop Paul, this matter is not urgent.
The most important thing is that it took him so long to come back. Several minutes passed, and the red archbishop was blocking the door directly, and Taoist Shou Xin hadn't appeared yet.
"Dal Francisco?
Well, I remember your name. Let's take a rest first. Maybe I have something busy now! "
After casually dealing with it, I planned to ask the Taoist disciple standing by, but I didn't expect that Dal Francisco would go straight to the point.
Dal Francisco certainly knew what the other party was worried about.
Seeing that the Taoist disciple who was waiting aside hurriedly came over to make a report. He was worried that after hearing the report, Father Ryan in front of him would know that the little girl Alyssa, who was equivalent to the saint of Dubos Sima Temple, was missing. After hearing the news, he just left himself and others aside.
So before the Taoist disciple opened his mouth, he took out something he had already prepared, a bundle of hemp rope, a very special bundle of hemp rope.
Dal Francisco held the hemp rope in both hands and handed it to Chen Yuan: "Father Ryan, this is a sacred object brought back from the East by European soldiers more than a hundred years ago.
It is said to be something from thousands of years ago!
Originally, we had prepared a mountain of gifts, but they were all vetoed by the Pope.
He took out this bundle of hemp rope and told me that it was a sacred object from the East, a sacred object from thousands of years ago.
This bundle of rope is countless times more precious than the mountains of gifts I prepared.
For this trip, this gift is enough to show our sincerity! "
Um?
Such an exaggerated statement not only attracted Chen Yuan's attention, but also temporarily interrupted the Taoist disciple's report.
After being persuaded, Chen Yuan looked at the hemp rope in the opponent's hand with his heavenly eye, huh? interesting.
Hemp rope is very ancient and refers to the weaving method.
This is a relatively simple three-strand hemp rope rolling method. It is relatively crude. It is not as strong as the multi-strand hemp rope method and can easily be broken.
But such a thing is actually said to be a divine object by a cardinal, and this statement started from the Pope, so we have to pay attention to it.
[Trip rope, according to legend, Chi You fought with the Yan and Huang emperors in Zhuolu, but was defeated by the Yellow Emperor. Chi You, who had the body of the God of War, was not killed, and he was resurrected many times to fight back.
Therefore, the emperor was angry and tied his hands and feet with hemp ropes, divided his head, limbs and torso, buried them in all directions, and suppressed them with a large formation.
This piece of hemp rope is an imitation of the hemp rope that tied Chi You's feet. It has been worshiped for thousands of years. It has magical powers. Even if Chi You, the god of war, is resurrected, it can also trap him.
Yanhuang bloodline can be refined for personal use. The refining method is as follows. 】
A stumbling rope?
The legend of the tripping rope has always existed in the East, especially in the land of Qilu, where it is widely spread among the people.
It is said that people in that place would put a hemp rope around their feet after death. It is said that ancient people believed that if a person died and was frightened, he would fake the corpse.
In ancient times, when a person died, he had to remain in mourning for more than seven days, and a filial son or a guest had to watch over his body. This was done day and night, for seven consecutive days.
According to ancient legend, it is easy for a dead person to appear as a corpse at night. If a cat or toad jumps over the corpse, or an owl hoots outside the window, it may cause the corpse to appear as a corpse.
Therefore, the filial sons, grandsons and guests who are keeping watch will put a hemp rope around the feet of the corpse. If the corpse gets up again, it will fall down if it tries to jump on someone. This also gives the filial sons, grandsons and guests a time to escape.
This can also be regarded as an accumulation of experience or wisdom.
Of course, it's also possible that the rumor is spreading.
However, there are many folklores in the East. It is said that children or adults often stumble when walking, and fall easily when they take a bigger step. This is because someone has secretly placed a stumbling rope on them. This prohibition is sometimes caused by those people. Sometimes it's done by ghosts and gods.
But it's easy to untie it. Just take a sharp kitchen knife that has been used to kill chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle, and sheep and scratch it back and forth between your feet a few times. Then use the kitchen knife with evil energy to cut off the hemp rope. .
Of course, that is a way to deal with the stumbling rope spells that ordinary ghosts cast on people, but the hemp rope in front of them, which has become a sacred object and has been worshiped by people for thousands of years, is obviously not something that can be cut by ordinary swords.
Moreover, it can be concluded from this that the Pope himself is not simple. Otherwise, how could he know that this hemp rope is a sacred object? This hemp rope has already withstood the value of the many gifts prepared by the cardinal.
If you don't take this kind of good thing, you will definitely regret it later.
Even though he knew that after taking it, Archbishop Paul and the two-winged angel might have to be put back in terms of value, Chen Yuan still took the hemp rope.
If he didn't hold the oriental divine object in his hand, he would really regret it.
As for Archbishop Paul and the two-winged angel, he didn't want to kill them in the first place, and he would definitely keep them for exchange.
Moreover, he couldn't refuse the ransom now.
Seeing that he took the things, Dal Francisco didn't stop him anymore and let him go.
"Since Father Ryan, you have something to do, go do it first. What's going on between us is just a small matter!
After you finish your own business, we will talk about Archbishop Paul and the angel!"
Mr. Cardinal was extremely reasonable, of course, because he knew that the power of the priest in front of him was rare in the world.
If he could reason and communicate, he would definitely not want to resort to force, because even if he did, they would not be able to beat him.
Archbishop Paul summoned the angels to descend, but the result was still the same. How could they dare to do it again?
"Hmm!"
Chen Yuan nodded, and then asked the Taoist disciple: "What happened? Why do I feel that the whole Rainbow Town is full of panic?"
"Alyssa is missing, kidnapped by a powerful and mysterious woman!" The Taoist disciple quickly told the news he knew.
"What!"
Chen Yuan was stunned and confirmed again.
