She didn't know if Tang Seng's chanting had any magic power, but Saint Matthew's chanting did have a magical effect.
It wasn't an evil magic like mind distortion. The chanting had only one effect: the chanter's heart was completely exposed to the audience, so as to achieve the purpose of communicating the doctrines.
If Saint Matthew's pretense to Erlu was just to show off, then the audience wouldn't feel the slightest sincerity and wouldn't be touched at all.
If Saint Matthew really felt Erlu's pain and mercifully reached out to pull him out of the sea of suffering. Then everyone, including Erlu, would feel the sincerity in the chanting.
Erlu felt Matthew's pity and understood the doctrine of the Seven Gods in the chanting, but his heart was clear. His stubbornness and the reality of his situation made him unable to accept the mercy of a monk.
He was angry, ashamed, and resentful.
Then the red-robed woman made a move and blocked Saint Matthew's harassment of Erlu with the power of her soul.
So, Matthew targeted her again.
The Holy Mother of Mercy could deliver the world, and both humans and demons could be saved. The red-robed woman was naturally included.
"The belief that you have persisted in your heart for a long time has become illusory and broken, which makes you confused. Like me, you feel pity for the miserable experience of the people around you and want to help them, but you don't know where the road out of the sea of suffering is. "
"In fact, Priestess, you are very wise. As long as you look back and look at the Seven Gods of Light, you will see a different scenery.
If you want, I can personally guide you on the path of glory of the Seven Gods, "Saint Matthew said sincerely.
Melisandre immediately felt bad.
She had an epiphany. The other party's "sneaky" eyes seemed to be able to see through her heart and even her past.
And just like Erlu, Saint Matthew's pity and concern for her were so obvious that she completely felt it. But there was only shame and anger in her heart.
— — Even your Holy Mother Danny Reese doesn't dare to say such things to me. Who do you think you are to pity me?
A fake cultivator whose age is barely a fraction of mine, but who has worshiped wooden statues for decades like an idiot actually dares to put on airs in front of me, arrogantly wanting to convert me to the Seven Gods.
The red-robed woman had cultivated for hundreds of years and had almost never lost her temper. But this time, she lost her composure.
She pointed at the old cultivator who was reciting the Seven Stars Holy Scripture with a compassionate expression and shouted, "Beat him up!"
Hearing that he was going to be beaten, Saint Matthew's smile became even more benevolent.
— — At least it's better than You Lun, who stabbed him in the heart and cut off his penis. Perhaps I can really reform the Red Heart Demon today. Even if they couldn't immediately convert to the right path, they had to let them feel the greatness of the teachings of the Seven Gods.
With this thought in mind, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and continued to chant the scripture with the Compassionate Divinity.
At first, the Red Heart Knight did not really hit him, but simply picked him up and left the tent, throwing him on the ground outside the door.
Saint Matthew did not leave, but sat at the door and continued to chant loudly.
Erlu and Aunt May thought, I'll ignore you, let you feel bored, and then leave.
But half an hour later, Saint Matthew's voice was still loud and clear, and the teachings of the Seven Stars Holy Scripture spread far and wide in the camp. When it reached Erlu and Aunt May's ears in the tent, it attracted more people's attention.
.....
The sound of beating and kicking flesh, along with the cultivator's muffled chanting, entered the tent together. Erlu paced back and forth in the narrow space irritably.
"He won't leave even if I beat him up like this. I'm afraid that even if I throw him out of the camp, he'll still stand on the road and chant loudly. It'll be even worse.
Why don't we expose Danny Lissa's true colors to him? "he asked the red-robed woman who was also restless.
"It's no use, he won't believe it. Danny Lissa's tricks are even more miraculous than most of the true gods' miracles. Resurrecting the dead, world-wide healing, atonement scrolls, rumors of heaven, the arrival of the Holy Mother …
If I didn't know everything, I would've believed that the Seven Gods are real.
In fact, at this point, even if we did our best to expose the details of Danny Lissa's usurpation of the Seven Gods, it would be meaningless.
Because the miracles are real, the teachings are also real, and the actions of the Seven Gods have always been in line with the teachings of the Seven Gods themselves. "
At this point, the red-robed woman could not help but smile bitterly and shake her head. "Just the maturing priest system alone has allowed the Church of the Seven Gods to surpass all the other churches in the world.
If the Seven Gods are fake, then who would dare to say that they are real? "
"What's this? The fake Seven Gods are more real than the true gods, then who is the fake god? What is real? "Erlu's face was pale, and his voice was filled with deep exhaustion and faint despair.
The red-robed woman suddenly looked up and stared at the man opposite her. "Don't doubt it. The prophecy of Asha is real, the Red God Lahlo is real, and your identity as the savior is also real."
"What's the difference between real and fake? Danny Lissa is fake, but she did better than the true gods.
Before she usurped the position of the Seven Gods, the saints of the Church of the Seven Gods were only extreme people like Saint Baylor and Saint Sparrow.
They were more like mentally ill than saints.
When she became the Holy Mother, she taught a saint who was truly compassionate and fearless of sacrifice. Even I could feel his sincerity and compassion. "Er Lu sighed.
"You were affected by his divine language. Matthew is a demigod," Melisandre said.
Erlu pointed at the tent door. "Maybe I was affected, but I didn't listen to his chanting. I only saw what was happening outside the door.
You said he was a demigod, but a demigod was punched and kicked by a mortal knight, and his compassion remained unchanged. Is this something an ordinary person can do? "
"Whether he is a saint or not, it has nothing to do with us," Melisandre said.
He waved his hand weakly and pointed at the military map hanging on the wall. "How can it have nothing to do with us? I'm about to attack King's Landing, and the city is full of believers of the Seven Gods.
If a true saint appears, the believers will naturally unite around him.
So, when I take King's Landing, how should I rule?
Do I have to clean up the Great Cathedral of Baylor and burn the statues of the Seven Gods?
Even Cersei and You Lun aren't that crazy. "
"Matthew will lead the sparrows and refugees away from King's Landing, and the Great Cathedral of Baylor will be built into a fortress. It's obvious that Danny Lissa doesn't intend to fight with you for King's Landing. "
After a pause, Melisandre lowered her voice and said, "And it's not like you don't have any helpers.
The Light King has sent an oracle to the Red Temple of the Free Cities, and countless Hand of the Holy Fire and Red Temple priests will cross the sea to the Westeros.
You are the Holy Son of the Red God Church, and the Light King's spokesperson in the mortal world. The Red Priests of Myr, Pentos, Braavos, and even Volantis will listen to your command. "
Stannis was shocked and asked, "For the Forbidden Spell Array of Ten Thousand Extraordinaries?"
"For ending the Long Night, for the battle of King's Landing led by you. The Frost God is the Light King's eternal enemy, and only Lahlo can save the world. The Red Priests who serve the Light King will certainly not stand by and watch what happens in the Westeros, "the red-robed woman said righteously.
The truth was not as dignified as Melisandre made it out to be.
It was true that Lahlo had called for the Red Temple priests of the Free Cities to support King's Landing, but the purpose was to clean up the dirty water that the Dragon Queen had poured on him and the Red Temple.
Danny had arranged for the Allied prisoners of war to return home and spread the information about Lahlo. As long as she did not want to lose the faith of the humans, she only had one choice: to use practical actions to prove that the Red Priests were different from the despicable and weak nobles, and that they would fulfill their mission to end the Long Night.
In other words, she would cross the narrow sea and go to the Westeros to fight the Other Ghosts.
At this moment, in Volantis, Machiro, who had received the oracle, left the Black Wall and returned to the Red Temple outside the Black Wall. As usual, he stood on the highest pillar and preached to his believers.
"The Black Wall nobles have given up on the people of Volantis, but the Red Gods have not.
Like all of you, I have been deceived by the consul.
Yes, I had publicly declared on the day the sun was broken that it was temporary and that the sun would come out.
That was a lie, a white lie, because the consul promised me that he would use the lie to temporarily maintain the stability of the city, and then he would use the opportunity to buy food from the other cities to relieve Volantis.
I sacrificed myself and the honor of the temple, but the consul did not fulfill his promise.
They did buy food, but they bought the food on the market of Volantis and transported it to the Black Wall for the nobles to eat.
Now I declare that the Black Wall nobles are the common enemy of the people and the Red Temple, and the cursed fate will befall them.
I will always be with you, and the Light King will definitely save his believers in the mortal world.
But the temple has no food, and the Light King cannot conjure food. The best way to save the world is to end the long night and summon the sun again.
Now, I will lead the priests of the temple to the Westeros to help Stannis the Savior kill the King of Deviant Ghosts and defeat the Frost God. "
Uh, the Red God priests abandoned the nobles and chose the greater source of their faith — the slaves and the civilians.
Thus, the Dragon Queen's "lie" that the Red God Church colluded with the nobles and betrayed their believers was exposed.
.....
Three days later, in the Red Keep's Queen Dowager Tower.
Cersei asked routinely, "Is Saint Matthew still outside the city to convert the Red Heart Demon?"
Sister Morley shook her head and said regretfully, "When Saint Matthew was about to succeed, the Red Heart Demon and the Red Heart Banshee ran away."
"Ran away?" Cersei was stunned. "Where did they go?"
"Probably back to Rosby City. Saint Matthew will leave the King's Landing in two days, and he has no time to look for them," Sister Morley said disappointedly.
Cersei stomped her foot and shouted, "What a pity, what a pity. If he could convert them, the King's Landing would be one less disaster."
Whether it is converting Erlu to the Seven Gods or sending him to hell with the Holy Mother's Palm, my Cersei Dynasty would be preserved.
She was truly regretful.
In the beginning, she did not have much hope for Saint Matthew to convert Erlu.
When she heard that he was beaten up by the Red Heart Knight, she even looked down on him.
But one day passed, and the next … The news she heard from Sister Morley was getting more and more exaggerated.
For example, on a cold night, Saint Matthew insisted on chanting in front of Erlu's tent. Erlu woke up in the middle of the night and cried.
Even Cersei knew that Stannis was really affected by Saint Matthew.
He might even turn back and become a monk.
Another example was that Erlu was angry because of his crying. When he woke up the next day, he took extra care of Saint Matthew. He asked the knight to whip the old monk's back and butt with a wrist-thick branch. The old monk's clothes were torn and his skin was torn.
Then, a miracle happened. A Holy Mother's golden body appeared around Saint Matthew. An illusory golden Holy Mother about the same size as Matthew appeared and overlapped with the old monk's body.
It was like a human-shaped golden bell.
