"Alright."
Facing the Pope's words, Zhang Wei, though surprised, did not refuse:
"Your Holiness, what information about the Jade Emperor would you like to hear? There is a lot of information about the Jade Emperor, and it cannot be finished in a short time."
"Mr. Zhang Wei, please tell me something I can understand more easily."
"Okay, let me think. Got it. I'll tell Your Holiness the story of how the Jade Emperor became a god."
Afterward.
Zhang Wei told the Pope the most classic anecdote of the Jade Emperor's deification, "When one person attains the Tao, even his dogs and chickens ascend to heaven."
"Legend has it... the Jade Emperor cultivated himself into a god... at the moment he ascended to heaven, he could not bear to abandon his chickens, ducks, and dogs at home, so he brought them all to heaven with him, becoming immortals in heaven. This is the story of 'When one person attains the Tao, even his dogs and chickens ascend to heaven' that is popular in Great Xia."
"This story and anecdote, about the Jade Emperor becoming a god, was later passed down by the ancient people of Great Xia to describe how when one person benefits, those around him will also benefit."
It can be seen.
As Zhang Wei spoke, the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up, and he said directly:
"My God, when one person attains the Tao, even his dogs and chickens ascend to heaven. What a great and benevolent act. He obtains benefits and does not forget the people and pets around him. Is this the Jade Emperor? A god with great benevolence and selflessness."
In his words.
The Jade Emperor murmured in his heart:
"Now I have reason to believe it. Mr. Zhang Wei was indeed so seriously injured that he would not have sequelae, and he would not die from being attacked. It is indeed due to the protection of the Jade Emperor, a loving god."
Thinking this.
The Jade Emperor became even more eager and said:
"Mr. Zhang Wei, please continue to tell me, what other stories does the Jade Emperor have?"
"Then I will continue. Let me think. I have now talked about the Jade Emperor becoming a god. Then I will talk about him after becoming a god. Let's start with the people around him."
Afterward.
Zhang Wei spent the afternoon explaining the Jade Emperor's genealogy to the Pope, talking about the Heavenly Court ruled by the Jade Emperor, the structure of the Heavenly Court, some of the Heavenly Rules issued by the Jade Emperor, and the relationship between the gods of the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor, the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, and so on.
He spoke for six or seven hours.
Even when attendants brought back the information they had found, the Pope did not notice. Like a child, he kept asking Zhang Wei to tell stories about the Jade Emperor.
And as he narrated.
The Pope was repeatedly shocked by what Zhang Wei said. Great Xia is indeed one of the five great ancient civilizations in the world, and its myths are as exciting as Christianity, which has a history of 2,000 years.
Among them.
Especially when the Pope heard that Tathagata in the West and the Jade Emperor, in terms of status, the Jade Emperor was superior to Tathagata, and that the Jade Emperor was also called the Supreme Emperor of Heaven (Haotian Shangdi). And the word "God" (Shangdi) used by Great Xia for the God of the West is actually derived from the Supreme Emperor of Heaven.
Hearing this.
The Pope was greatly surprised:
"So in your Great Xia, the way you call our God came from this. My God, it's related to the Jade Emperor?"
Zhang Wei smiled and nodded:
"Yes, regarding the Jade Emperor and the mythology of Great Xia, I can't finish talking about it in a short time. If Your Holiness still wants to hear it, I can find an opportunity to chat with you more later. Now, it's getting a bit late."
As he said this.
The Pope was stunned for a moment, then looked out the window along Zhang Wei's gaze, and only then noticed that night had fallen without him realizing it:
"My God, it's already night? Mr. Zhang Wei, I'm really sorry for keeping you here telling me for so long."
"Haha, it's okay, I'm also happy to share."
"I also thank Mr. Zhang Wei for sharing. I have really learned a lot this time. Let's not talk about this anymore."
As the Pope spoke, he finally noticed the attendant beside him and immediately asked:
"Has the search for the children's exorcism mission been completed? Tell Mr. Zhang Wei."
"Your Holiness, it has been searched."
The attendant bowed respectfully, then picked up the document and said:
"The mission target assigned to Danoque and the others this time is three ghosts who recently appeared in the Aegean Sea and have only recently become ghosts, with an estimated ghost age of 3 years and strength at the level of fierce ghosts. As for their identities when they were alive, judging from their clothing before death, they were prisoners."
"It is likely that they are death row inmates who died in prisons in nearby countries. This kind of thing is very common. Considering that Danoque and the others have too many people this time, and they were prisoners when they were alive, they will be more brutal. Therefore, Danoque and the others are paired up, two people to deal with one ghost."
"As for the exorcist priests responsible for protecting and supervising the examination, they are Father Fry and Father Matt."
The Pope nodded upon hearing this:
"Then let's arrange it this way. Mr. Zhang Wei, this is the exorcism mission arranged for the children. Would you like to participate? I think with you here, the children's safety will be much more secure."
"Participate?"
"Yes, you will be responsible for scoring. The scoring standard is very simple, 100 points. Based on the children's process of exorcising ghosts, if they did not complete it independently, they will all be below 60 points, failing. If they completed it independently, they will all be above 60 points."
"Alright."
Zhang Wei was naturally willing to have a chance to supervise.
...
That night.
In Zhang Wei's room.
At this time.
Zhang Wei had returned from the Pope's place and had already washed up. Just as he was about to go to bed:
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, it's me, Hill. I heard you were looking for me."
"Come in."
As Zhang Wei gestured, Hill walked in. It was then that Zhang Wei asked:
"Hill, have you arranged everything I told you this morning?"
"Of course. You said you wanted to return to Seoul University in the stolen country. I have already told Wilbur and the others, and I have also told Samuel and the others. From now on, all the fallen angels I lead will accompany Mr. Zhang Wei to Seoul University. As for me, Wilbur, and Amy, we will personally protect you. The others will be nearby or in the area where Mr. Zhang Wei is, ensuring immediate support."
"That's good. But before that, you will go to the Aegean Sea with me tomorrow."
Immediately after.
Zhang Wei explained about going to the Aegean Sea.
Hill nodded:
"No problem, I'll tell Wilbur, Amy, and the others later. So, Mr. Zhang Wei, do you have any other instructions? If not, I won't disturb your rest. Wilbur will guard your door tonight."
He noticed that Zhang Wei had finished washing up and did not intend to disturb Zhang Wei's rest.
In this regard.
Zhang Wei called out to Hill:
"There's one more thing I want to ask you."
"What is it? Tell me."
"That is, after I purified Amy back into an angel, Hill, you should have mated with your Amy, right?"
As he said this.
Hill was stunned and looked at Zhang Wei in astonishment.
