Chapter 842

Sophia helped Jacob limped to a yard in the village, a typical Russian mountain dwelling, a two-story pointed building made of logs.

The room was very warm, and there was an embers of fire burning in the fireplace. Sophia helped Jacob sit in front of the fireplace, added some firewood to the fireplace, turned around and said warmly to Jiang Hao and Laura, "It will be warmer if you sit here, I'll go Get something to eat."

All of them haven't had dinner yet.

"I'll help you do it together." Laura said with a smile.

Sophia was very happy, "Okay, I'll get Dad and Jon a cup of hot coffee first, and then I'll see what's ready."

The two women went to the kitchen. Jiang Hao sat on the sofa opposite Jacob. The two looked at each other. Jacob looked at Jiang Hao with a faint smile, and Jiang Hao smiled back.

The eyes of the two did not leave, but kept looking at each other, and suddenly Jacob said, "I can feel that you are very special."

"To most ordinary people in this world, you are even more special." Jiang Hao said without hesitation.

Jacob was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You seem to know something?"

"Jacob, Jacob, the names are very similar, aren't they?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Jacob now knew that the other party should know his origin, he said lightly: "I never deliberately concealed anything, just for a simpler life."

"But now it seems that your life may not be very good. You know that I am not referring to material things. At your level, I know that I have broken away from the pursuit of material things." Jiang Hao said.

Jacob was silent for a while, looking at the fire that was gradually igniting beside him, and said in a low tone: "Yes, it's not good, I have been doing things that I think are meaningful, and I want to relieve the suffering of the world, but In the end, I found that things didn't seem to be going the way I imagined."

"Then what is your ideal?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Pursue God's footsteps, save the suffering people, fill the world with love and sunshine, and reduce disputes and killings."

"Alas~~~", at this point, Jacob let out a long sigh.

At this time Sophia came out of the kitchen, holding a silver plate with a ceramic coffee pot and two coffee cups on it, walked over and put it on the table next to her, and said, "Dad, Jon, the coffee is ready. "

As he spoke, he poured coffee for the two of them and handed it to them.

Jacob took the coffee cup and smiled at his daughter. Jiang Hao took the cup and thanked him, "Okay, let's chat. Sister Laura and I are going to make dinner." Then he turned and left.

Looking at his daughter's figure, Jacob's eyes were full of pity, and Jiang Hao asked, "Sophia probably doesn't know your identity."

Jacob shook his head, "Only the pastor of Acropolis Village knows my identity, and the rest of the village doesn't know it at all, including Sophia and even her mother."

Taking a sip of coffee, Jacob said: "Jon, I can feel a kind of divine power from you, although it is different from me."

Jiang Hao didn't hide anything, "Strictly speaking, I'm also a monk."

"Then do you have faith?" Jacob asked.

"Of course, I believe in 'Taoism', and I am an ordained Taoist priest." Jiang Hao said.

"Taoism, I know, the Mongols attacked Kit City, and I led people to repel them. Later, I went to the Mongolian Yuan Kingdom and heard about the sect of 'Taoism' and some of their legends." Jacob said.

Hearing this sentence, even though Jiang Hao knew that he had lived for more than a thousand years, he was still shocked. It was a strange feeling that someone who had seen the Yuan Dynasty with his own eyes sat with him and drank coffee. .

Jacob looked at Jiang Hao, "Jon, I can feel that you have touched blue crystals before, right?"

Jiang Hao's heart moved, and the other party could feel that crystal when he touched it. That crystal wouldn't have strong radiation.

"Yes, I took it back." Jiang Hao said, took his backpack, took out the blue lotus from it and handed it to Jacob.

If he took it away secretly, he would have taken it away, but now that the master found out, Jiang Hao still can't lie, although that blue crystal may be related to the secret of immortality.

Jacob took a deep look at the blue crystal, but shook his head. Jiang Hao was a little surprised by the other party's action.

"Want to know the secret of the sacred source?" Jacob said.

"certainly!"

Holy Trinity has pursued this secret for countless years, and Earl Crawford has also investigated it for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to know this secret, Jiang Hao is naturally very interested.

Jacob seems to be very eager to talk now, maybe he thinks that Jiang Hao is the same person and it is easier to communicate with him.

"Let's start with the blue crystal in your hand. In fact, it is not the 'sacred source'. I don't know what it is called. Later, because of its function, I named it the 'undead crystal'. He has an ability , that is, it can be controlled to absorb the soul of the dead, and then transform into an undead warrior."

Jiang Hao suddenly realized that this was the case.

"What is the sacred source?" Jiang Hao asked.

Jacob seemed to be lost in thought, and said slowly: "I was originally a monk. When I went to preach in a farmer's house, I accidentally saw this crystal. After seeing it, I was deeply attracted by him, and I seemed to feel it. It was calling me, and I later realized that it was me who felt his energy fluctuations."

"I bought it from a farmer and took it back to study. After touching it, I felt a warm energy bursting out of the blue crystal. Since then, I have possessed supernatural powers, that is, immortality and healing ability. And this crystal is just a carrier of that energy."

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt slightly disappointed. It seemed that the hope of gaining the ability of immortality was gone.

Through the words of the other party, Jiang Hao felt that it was not the crystal that gave Jacob that ability, but a key that unlocked Jacob's superpower gene lock, allowing him to have the superpowers of immortality and healing.

There are not many people with superpowers in this world, and it is not uncommon for Jacob to have such abilities.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hao felt that many things about Jacob could be explained.

he is not god,

not omnipotent,

Just a man with immortality and healing powers.

It was only because he chose to preach that he was called a prophet. If he joined the 'Avengers', he would at most be a dead waiter + nurse.

oh,

It seems that Deadpool can be resurrected after being blown up, but Jacob may not be able to do it.

"Then what?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.

"Then, I was afraid that my situation would be found out, so I took the crystal and embarked on a journey. In the following decades, I traveled to countless countries, learned a lot of knowledge, and saw many things. I saw Countless people are living in misery, I really want to do something, and the last thing I can think of is to spread the teachings of God.”

"But the result is different from what I thought."

"In Constantinople, I was expelled and hunted down by the Holy See. When I arrived in Syria, I continued to be hunted down. When I arrived in Siberia, they were still hunted down. Here, we have to resist the harsh natural environment. Later, the Mongols also Wanted to wipe us out, fought countless similar battles, including today, and never stopped."

Speaking of this, Jacob's expression became a little dark,

"I acted according to my own ideals, spreading the teachings and brilliance of God, but what did I bring to the people in the end?"

"There is no warmth and no peace. After they know my secret, countless people want to fight for it. As a result, my followers have suffered endless suffering. It has not stopped until now. As long as someone knows about the prophet , Hearing the legend of the sacred source, one will covet immortality, he has become the root of all disasters."

"I now feel that what I did was wrong. Maybe it's time to give up all of this. It's been a thousand years, and I don't want this suffering to continue." Jacob said in a low tone.

Originally, he wanted to bring happiness to the people, but because of his ability to live forever, he was coveted by those in power and became the greatest source of suffering for him and his followers.

All this stems from greed.

Speaking of this, Jacob looked at the crystal in Jiang Hao's hand, smiled and said, "Jon, since you got it, it belongs to you now."

Jiang Hao was taken aback, "You mean, give it to me?"

Jacob nodded, "When the Mongols invaded, I imprisoned the souls of 300 Mongolian warriors and became undead warriors. Now, I want to release them to leave. As for this 'undead crystal', you can take it away."

As Jacob said, he slowly stretched out his hand to Jiang Hao's side, and Jiang Hao saw the blue crystal floating out of nowhere. Jiang Hao has the supernatural power of "sky eyes", so he can naturally see the souls floating out, and he saw them floating one after another. Fly into the air, and then disappear.

The soul of the yurt disappeared completely, and Jacob withdrew his hand.

"Why are you doing this?" Jiang Hao asked suspiciously.

Jacob's face was very calm, and he said lightly: "Because they are no longer needed, there will be no holy city, no prophets, and they don't need to protect anyone, so they should go where they should go."

Jiang Hao was startled, "What do you want to do?"

Jacob smiled, "I'm going to take Sophia out of here and go to other places to live the lives of ordinary people. From now on, this place will not be my cage, let alone the imprisonment of followers. From now on, there will be no more Prophet Jacob."

Jiang Hao was a little surprised by Jacob's decision, but soon he understood that the Holy City had indeed become a burden for Jacob and the villagers.

Jiang Hao put away the crystal, and from then on, this crystal is Jiang Hao's, it was given to him by his original owner, and it is justified.

But Jiang Hao thought,

The people of the Holy Trinity have pursued immortality for countless years. Constantine finally gave his life in order to fight for the sacred source, but they do not know that this crystal cannot make people live forever. The secret of Jacob's longevity is only because he is a A supernatural being with an undead physique.

It's really ironic to say it.
