According to the practice of the ecumenical church, the place where the pope is elected is the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Palace in Rome. After the death of a pope, about a hundred cardinals from all over the world will gather in the Sistine Chapel

, electing the next pope through mutual voting. Before they enter the church until a new pope is elected, the cardinals are basically cut off from the outside world. In theory, they can only get water and food from the outside.

As well as some necessary daily necessities. There will also be dedicated personnel guarding the entrance and exit of the church for inspection. Of course, sinful money is not allowed to enter the Sistine Chapel. The most that can be entered is Medici Bank notes...

.

However, Archbishop Bai Jinbai, who came to elect the pope with a lot of silver rupees sponsored by Kangxi Khan, neither went straight to Rome nor went to Florence, the home of the Medici family, to save money. He did not even enter the Mediterranean. Instead, he asked Shi Shilun

The two third-class battleships sailed to Calais, France. After landing in Calais, Archbishop Bai, Zhang Dazhen and Prince Yinti of Zhijun in Mongolia took the gifts given by Kangxi Khan to Louis the Great and headed straight to the southwest of Paris.

to the Palace of Versailles.

Due to the Ottoman Turkish Empire's capture of Vienna, the European Christian camp had to undergo drastic reorganization in the past few years. The Habsburg family, which was hit hard by the loss of Vienna and most of Austria, had to give up the Holy Roman Emperor.

, Archduke of Austria, King of Bohemia, King of Hungary and a series of crowns. Leopold I, the leader of the Haburg family, also had to pick up the title of Spanish Emperor and ran to Mexico City in despair.

The crown of the Holy Roman Empire, the crown of the Archduke of Austria, the crown of the King of Bohemia, and the crown of St. Stephen of Hungary that were thrown away by Leopold I were all picked up one by one by King Louis XIV of France.

.....I'm so happy!

Now Louis XIV is awesome. He is not only the King of France, but also the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Archduke of Austria, King of Bohemia, and King of Hungary. In addition, he is also the Emperor of the French Colonial Empire and the Grand Duke of some miscellaneous principalities.

He is currently seeking the title of King of Switzerland.

Switzerland gained independent status in the Treaty of Westphalia signed in 1648, but Louis the Great defeated the Ottoman army in the Battle of Cesky Krumlov-Linz in the summer of 1690 and regained it.

After arriving at Linz and Wieselburg, he issued the "Salzburg Edict" to the envoys of various European countries, including the Swiss Alliance, in Salzburg, declaring the Treaty of Westphalia invalid and demanding

The cantons of the Swiss Confederation elected him, the defender of Switzerland, as King of Switzerland!

From now on, Switzerland can no longer pretend to be a neutral country.

As there were more and more crowns on his head, Louis the Great's authority naturally became greater and greater. In Western Europe, he had to take care of what Caesar should take care of, and he also had to take care of what God should take care of...

.For example, Emperor Louis the Great had to ask carefully about who would be the next Pope of Rome.

The last pope didn't have enough magic power, so he was actually destroyed by the devil during a battle with him!

What is such a pope going to do? If another useless pope like this is elected to delay God’s important task of destroying the devil, then it would be better to let Louis the Great himself of “I am one of many countries” serve as the pope concurrently.

Where is Zong!

Maybe this is what God really means?

In the splendid Harvest Hall of the Palace of Versailles, Louis the Great, who had so many titles that he could hardly remember them all, was sitting on a throne. In addition to a few court nobles dressed like cauliflowers, there was also an expert on Oriental issues, not the British one.

Ji Dabao, Professor of Oriental Studies at Cambridge University, is the military attache of the Mongolian Embassy in Paris, Longkodo "Little Duozi"... He is following his Ama, the outgoing Imperial Ambassador of Mongolia.

They moved together from The Hague, Netherlands, to Versailles, the center of Europe.

After arriving in Versailles, this "little boy" took to the water like a duck in water. He was young, energetic, and loved to play. It didn't take long for him to become a celebrity in the fashion circle of Versailles. He also became good friends with Louis the Great, and they met every now and then.

Hanging around Louis the Great.

Today, Emperor Louis the Great heard that the cardinal Archbishop Josim Buvert, whom he supported, the new Mongolian imperial ambassador Zhijun Wang Yinti and a great Mongolian Celestial Master came to Versailles, so he asked people to

Called "Xiao Duozi" here to serve as a consultant on Eastern issues.

Following the sound of a trumpet, a cardinal, a prince wearing a flower feather, a priest with a dusty robe, followed by the French Foreign Minister Hugo Lionel and a palace guard dressed like a parrot filed in.

Entering the Harvest Hall of the Palace of Versailles.

Emperor Louis the Great saw the man holding a "broom" (whisk) at a glance, and he immediately understood that this man must be a "Chinese wizard" - only wizards can use brooms as transportation! But the broom is so small, this "

How does the Chinese Wizard ride? The stick on the broom is so thin that it’s not comfortable to ride on!

While he was thinking about it, the Cardinal Archbishop Josim Buvit, the Mongolian Imperial Ambassador Zhijun Wang Yinti, and the "Chinese wizard" holding a broom were already bowing to Louis the Great.

Louis' foreign minister, Hugo Leonard, introduced Louis one by one. In fact, Louis did not know any of them, including Josim Bouvert, who was named Bai Jin in Chinese, which means Mingyuan.

Red Archbishop. Although this Bai Jin was recommended to Kangxi by Louis himself, he also wrote the letter of recommendation based on the recommendation of his subordinates. In fact, he had never met him in person.

This time Louis knew that Josim Bouvert was here to choose the pope, so his attitude was naturally not very enthusiastic - Louis himself wanted to be the pope, but was too embarrassed to mention it. It would be best if no one dared to be the pope, and in the end the Roman Church

He had to be given a "white robe", so he reluctantly became the pope.

But now there is someone who is not afraid of death and wants to choose the Pope... It's a bit difficult to handle!

Thinking of this, Emperor Louis the Great asked Archbishop Bai: "His Royal Highness Bouvert (the red archbishop can be called His Royal Highness), I heard that you are going to run for the pope, but how much do you know about the devils that appear in America?"

This should be a difficult problem - Archbishop Bai is the cardinal archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of India. He can catch the devil in India. Where can he find the devil in America? If Archbishop Bai can't answer, then Louis has reason not to let him be the one.

The Pope... This is for his own good, lest he cannot deal with the devil and eventually be destroyed by the devil.

"Your Majesty," Archbishop Bai replied confidently, "I know the devils of Shang Fang Kingdom very well. Do I know what they are?"

"Really?" Of course Louis the Great didn't believe it, "Cardinal Archbishop, how are you going to prove it?"

"Your Majesty, I have a witness!" As he spoke, Archbishop Bai pointed at Zhang Hongtian, who was holding a whisk next to him and looking at Emperor Louis. "Your Majesty, this Master Zhang is the descendant of the Shang Fang Devil!"

"What!" Emperor Louis almost jumped up from the throne and raised his finger to point at Zhang Hongtian, "He, he is the devil?"

This scares Louis!

He hasn't become the Pope yet, so why does the devil come to him?

And... wasn't this devil sent by Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia? What is the relationship between Kangxi Khan and the devil? Could it be that Kangxi Khan's soul has... No, Kangxi Khan is not a Christian, he

No soul!

"Your Majesty, he is not a devil, but a descendant of the devil from Shang Fang!" Archbishop Bai replied, "The so-called devil from Shang Fang is actually one of the three gods worshiped by Chinese native religion, named Shangqing Ling.

Bao Tianzun, also known as Tongtian Cult Master!"

Archbishop Bai said "Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun" and "Tongtian Cult Master" in Chinese, so Longkodo next to Louis understood it immediately, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! Tongtian Cult Master? This is not it.

"The Romance of Canonization"? Zhenren Zhang, Bishop Bai, what is going on? How did the devil of Shang Fang Kingdom become the leader of Tongtian?"

Zhang Hongtian and Zhang Zhenren didn't understand French, so of course they didn't know that Bai Jin, a foreign monk, had "betrayed" him. Now when Long Keduo asked, he didn't take it seriously and nodded: "Don't you know?

The Taoism of Shang Fang Kingdom is Jie Taoism, which is the sect that always likes to accept animals as its disciples. It is not the same as ours. The founder of their religion is Lingbao Tianzun, one of the three pure Taoists in our Taoism! Of course, the magic power of this Tianzun is powerful.

, it’s normal for the Pope to fight him.”

There were other translators around Louis the Great, who immediately translated the words of Longcordo and Zhang Zhenren into French.

Emperor Louis the Great understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that this devil was not Lucifer, but a foreign devil called Pope Tongtian... No wonder the Pope of Rome couldn't deal with him! Everyone is a pope, so his magic power should be about the same.

That Alexander VIII was too old. He couldn't compete and died. He couldn't blame God.

"Then, is that Pope Tongtian very powerful?" Emperor Louis asked quickly.

If Pope Tongtian has unlimited power, then he will not be the Pope...

"My Majesty," Bai Jin said, "as far as I know, the magic power of Taoism is the so-called natural magic... The book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic" has made it very clear."

"Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic" has a total of five volumes. It is a work on physics and "magic" (chemistry), which mainly explores the phenomena of "natural forces" and "natural law". Although the concept of "magic" is used,

But it is actually a work on natural philosophy (there is no natural science at present). Bai Jin himself is also a scientist and has served as an academician of the French Academy of Sciences in history. He can certainly understand "Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic".

Louis XIV was also a scholarly emperor. He had also read this masterpiece that "redefined magic and natural philosophy." Of course, he also knew the difference between natural magic and other magic.

"But Pope Alexander VIII..."

Bai Jindao: "God summoned him to go to the Kingdom of Heaven, which just shows that the magic of Shangfang Kingdom is natural magic, not the devil's black magic... Natural magic is a tool given by God to mankind. In other words, God has given us

As a tool to defeat the devil in Shang Dynasty, we should no longer ask God to show his power, we should use the natural magic given by God to defeat our most dangerous enemy!"

"Bishop," Louis XIV was still doubtful, "are you telling the truth?"

Bai Jin smiled and said: "My Majesty, the leader of Tongtian, Taishang Laojun, and the original Tianzun are all the founders of the Sanqing Dynasty of Chinese Taoism... They are equivalent to the archangels in our Christianity. And the Great Mongolia

Zhang Zhenren, who was sent by Kangxi Khan to help you understand the situation of the devils in the Shang Dynasty, is equivalent to the archbishop of Taoism. He is the descendant of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty and has also inherited the magic of Master Tongtian. You can ask him what real magic he has? "

It seems to make sense!

Louis XIV said in Latin to Longcott next to him: "Duoduo (this is the nickname), ask this Bishop Zhang if he knows real magic? It's not the kind of natural magic, but supernatural magic.

Also, will he fly on that little broomstick?"

Longkodo was amused by Louis XIV's words. He did not ask the real person Zhang, but directly said to Louis XIV: "Your Majesty, I have known this real person since I was a child. He has no supernatural spells at all, and he can't ride a horse."

Flying on a broomstick... In today's Mongolia and Ming Dynasty, no one can fly on a broomstick."

...

"Archbishop, Hugo, please take a seat."

Longcordo, Zhang Hongtian, and Yin Ti have all left the Palace of Versailles. Now only Louis XIV, Leonardo and Bai Jin are still left in the King's audience hall.

Under Louis XIV's order, Hugo Leonard and Bai Jin had already sat down on the two chairs respectfully.

Louis XIV looked at Bai Jin, was silent for a while and then said: "Archbishop, are you really sure that there is no supernatural magic in Shangfang Kingdom?"

"It's absolutely certain." Bai Jin replied very definitely, "Your Majesty, even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in God. If our enemies have supernatural power, then God will definitely give us the same power."

"Can you guarantee that?" Louis XIV asked.

Bai Jin immediately understood what Louis XIV's words meant. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "My Majesty, if I become the Pope, I can guarantee that our enemies will not have supernatural powers.

....At the same time, I will ask God to deny the enemy any supernatural powers!”

Bai Jin, who does not believe that the Shang devil has supernatural powers, firmly believes that he can contact God after becoming the pope...

Louis XIV asked: "Bishop, can God give us supernatural powers?"

Emperor Louis knew that the enemy could not "cheat", but he still wanted to "cheat" himself...
