Chapter 510 The Pope Dies Chapter 511 Truman Arrives(1/3)

.    +Diet at the location of the traditional sect of Los Angeles.

Compared to the assassination of Pius XI, the death of Pope Solomon V is full of glory. Solomon V's health is not good at all, and it is already the twilight years. In the past two months, in this "religious transformation", the old man insisted on presiding over various things in the traditional sect, and even went to Europe several times in a row. After such a bumpy back and forth, all the old problems appeared.

On the morning of the 82nd, before dawn, I received a call from Sister Maria that Solomon V was no longer able to do it.

He hurried downstairs with Holkina and drove all the way to the location of the traditional sect's Holy See. It was already six or seven in the morning.

The morning light, this moment represents the moment of rebirth in the poet's poems, but for Solomon V, it is not.

The location of the Vatican Church of the traditional sect is completely different from the location of the Vatican Church. The Vatican Church is prosperous and majestic. After more than a thousand years of construction, it has made the Vatican Church of the traditional sect magnificent everywhere. The location of the Vatican Church of the traditional sect is in the mountains near the sea in the south of Los Angeles.

A tall and majestic church stands on a cliff called Helieshan. There is no cross, only the emblem representing traditional sects.

Around the church is a continuous area of ​​buildings, and it is said that the library and residential areas are very complete.

When we went, people were standing on both sides of the road leading to He Lieshan, and everyone stood quietly in the direction of the church.

I have never been to the traditional sect of the Holy See. When the car slowly stopped in the large square in front of the church, I was immediately shocked by the sadness and solemn atmosphere.

The small square was crowded with people. There were thousands of people, and the hills around the church were densely filled with people who could not see at first sight. They were all wearing black clothes, standing in the morning light, silently standing, and praying in their mouths.

Among these people, there are believers from the original traditional sect, and believers from the former Christians who later converted to the traditional sect, but no matter what their identity is, almost everyone's face is full of sadness.

Solomon V had extremely high prestige among believers. This old man was not only highly respected by believers in traditional sects, but also by believers from other sects and even the general public. Therefore, many people were very heavy in their hearts for his death.

Above the church, the huge earth flag of the traditional sect whistles whistled in the wind. It was a huge white flag with two intertwined scepters on it, and two large intertwined S were embroidered under the scepter. It was the symbol of Solomon V. With it in the church, it means that the Pope is in the Holy See. If the Pope goes on a visit, this flag will not appear.

From the two highest windows of the church, two huge bright red banners were taken off, which were densely covered with Hebrew words. When I asked a pastor in the Holy See next to me, I realized that those two banners were only hung before the Pope died. After listening to the pastor's words, I looked at the two banners and felt sorrow in front of my heart.

Although I have not been together for a long time, we have been very close for several months. Solomon V has won my respect with his pure character, and I have become his best friend. Now that this respectable elder is about to die, my eyes must be sour.

My appearance naturally attracted the attention of the believers of the traditional sects. When they saw me, they all saluted. I was named a righteous man by Solomon V. On such occasions, I was not a director, so they naturally saluted me.

Follow the priest to approach the gate, walk through the winding corridors of the yard, and then walk into a large garden in the middle of the Holy See.

The location of this large garden is probably the highest place in the entire Holy See, located at the top of the cliff. In August, it is the season when flowers bloom, and it is full of pure white. + When it comes to this kind of flower, I smiled slightly.

Thistle flower, the kind that appears in "The Brave Heart" and "The Passion of Christ", is my favorite flower and Solomon V's favorite flower.

I still remember when I first met and chatted with Solomon V, he told me that the first time he saw my movie was "Brave Heart". When he saw thistle flowers inside, especially when he saw the Scottish Highlands inside, his eyes were wet.

Solomon V is a descendant of the Scots, so he has a special liking for the flowers that the Scots like.

When he said these words to me, he was a pretty healthy old man. At that time, the thistle flowers had not bloomed yet. Now the thistle flowers are blooming and are blooming very lushly, but he is leaving.

"The Pope has been saying the name of Mr. Corleon, please come in." The pastor took me to a two-story building and pointed at the door.

The small building is only two stories high, and it is very old from the outside. If the pastor hadn't told me, I wouldn't have imagined that a pope lived in such a house.

Holgina stayed outside, I pushed open the door and walked in.

It was very quiet inside. There were more than twenty bishops standing on the first floor, each of whom was neatly dressed, all of whom were the most formal bishop's robes. The bishop's robes of the traditional sect were different from the bishop's robes of the Vatican sect. The robes of the Vatican bishops were red, while the bishop's robes of the traditional sect were pure white. Dozens of bishops stood downstairs and divided into two rows. The solemnity came to their faces.

Watching me enter the room, everyone bowed to me, and then, under their leadership, I went up to the second floor.

As soon as I entered the room on the second floor, I was a little stunned.

Sister Maria is there, Los Angeles Mayor Pang Mao is there, Grant is there, and in front of Solomon V's bed, the high priest is there too.

When everyone saw me coming in, everyone nodded, and then Pang Mao and Grant greeted on behalf of the city government and retreated. More than 20 bishops and our group immediately stuffed the room full of things.

"Andre, go over." Sister Maria's eyes were red and she nodded at me.

I slowly walked to Solomon V's bed. At this time, Solomon V's face was completely bloodless, and his white hair and beard made him look extremely old.

“Ande

I came, I thought I could not see you anymore." Seeing me coming, a smile of joy appeared.

"Pope..." I took Solomon V's hand and could no longer speak.

Solomon V breathed a sigh of relief, holding me with one hand and the other, and said, "My life is over. I will serve the Father in a while. Over the years, since I became a pope of the traditional sect, I have never slacked off. I have obeyed the commandments of the Father in everything I do. Today, I finally saw the glory of the Father's land reappearing in the world, and I can leave with satisfaction."

After hearing his words, many people in the room burst into tears.

Solomon V waved effortlessly to a bishop standing next to him, and the bishop brought over a white box.

Sister Maria knelt on her knees in front of Solomon's bed, bursting into tears.

The bishop opened the box and presented it inside it was a Pope Crown made of sterling silver.

Solomon V, with the help of me and the high priest, tried hard to hold up the Pope crown and put it on Sister Maria's head.

"Maria, you are a descendant of the Lord, and have been baptized by primitive and traditional sects one after another. You can be said to have the blood of the three largest sects. Today, I respect the will of the Supreme and All-powerful Father, and appoint you as the new pope of the traditional sect. The pope is named Maria I. I hope you can remember the commandments of the Father and sow the glory of the Father." Solomon V completed this ceremony of throne with great difficulty, and then leaned on the bed and gasped.



Sister Maria, who had put on the crown of the pope. No, when Maria I stood up with a scepter, the landbishop fell to his knees in the room.

Solomon saw the bishops kneeling and smiled with relief on his face.

"Andre, open the window for me, okay?" Solomon glanced at the window next to him.

I walked over and opened the window.

A breeze blew, and the room suddenly became cool, filled with the unique atmosphere of the morning. The air was mixed with the fragrance of soil and flowers.

Solomon took a deep breath and smiled.

He looked out the window with his eyes straight and his eyes deep.

Outside the window, the sky in the east was already white, and the sun was about to rise. From a distance, there were mountains and forests, and even further away was the vast sea.

"Andre, do you know what my real name is?" Solomon looked at me and suddenly asked.

"I don't know." I laughed.

Solomon looked at the sea outside with a look and said, "I have the same name as you."

"No way!? The Pope is also called Andre!?" I said in surprise.

Solomon laughed: "Yes, my name is Andre. When I was a child, I lived in the Scottish Highlands for a while. At this time of day, I woke up and took my dog ​​out to play. At that time, the Scottish Highlands were in full swing, so beautiful, even more beautiful than your "Brave Heart". After playing, I always hear my mother shouting at home: 'Andre, Andre, I've eaten, I've eaten.' Now, I think about it, what a happy time it was."

Solomon leaned against the bed, and a sweet smile appeared on his face, as if he was a child.

In my mind, the vast Scotland suddenly appeared. In the strong winds of the sky and the earth, the leaves of grass were flying, and the sound of bagpipes was floating in the wind. A child was walking through the grass with a dog, but was this child Solomon or myself?

"Andre, Andre, this name represents my past, but represents your present and future." Solomon waved to me, and then the bishop next to me brought a box. The box opened, and it was filled with a badge of two intertwined swords carved on it.

Solomon pinned the badge on my chest and said to me in a weak tone: "Andre, I appointed you as the apology of the traditional sect. In this way, you are the double-layered sect of the traditional sect and the original sect. I hope you can protect this sect after I leave."

Then Solomon looked at the high priest sitting beside him and said respectfully: "High priest, I am leaving, I will take a step ahead of you, but as Andre said in the subtitle at the end of "The Passion of Jeremy". With hope and faith, how happy I am at this moment."

The high priest held Solomon's hand tightly, and tears flowed.

"Maria, turn on the phonograph." Solomon said to Maria.

Maria turned on the phonograph, and the sound of bagpipes as long and sad as flowing water suddenly sounded in the room. It was the sound of bagpipes in "Brave Heart".

In an instant, a huge sadness surged into my heart.

Solomon leaned on his face and looked out the window with a smile on his face.

"Andre, Andre, Andre..." He called this name softly, not sure whether it was me or the child walking through the strong winds of the Scottish Plateau.

Outside the window, a red sun burst out, rising from the sea, sprinkling golden light.

Standing beside the bed, I saw the golden light reddened Solomon V's face, his white breathing and hair.

"Andre...Andre...De...Re..." Solomon V's hand fell heavily as the sun shone in.

The sound of bagpipes filled the room, drifting far away, towards the sea, and towards a distant highland called Scotland on the other side of the sea.

The huge flag of Solomon V above the church slowly fell down, and it raked in the wind as if it was crying, or seeing off a respectable old man.

"Woo………………………” Music sounded in the church courtyard, which was a burial song by people from traditional sects.

Seeing the flag representing Solomon V falling on the church, a huge prayer suddenly appeared around the church:

"Our Father in heaven. May all men respect your name as holy, may your kingdom come, may your earth will be done on earth as in heaven, and will give us food and forgive our sins, for we also forgive all who owe us. We do not tempt us, and save us from evil, and let all that should come and go."

...

Countless prayers gather together, imitating

The waves from the land stirred and echoed over the church for a long time.

Amid the prayers of countless believers, in the first ray of morning light, in the long sound of Scottish bagpipes, and in the faint fragrance of thistle, Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect completed the journey of others' voices.

The flag with two "S" embroidered in it slowly fell from the sky above the church ground. Before that, it had been floating on this land for a whole 40 years!

It landed, but not fell, because after it, a brand new flag embroidered with two "M" rose slowly!

In the morning light, the brand new flag whistles and is so vibrant!

This career continues and the world continues to shine with sunshine. Let the deceased rest in peace.

"Andre Axiel, God's beloved Son, Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect, I follow the will of the Father to lead you into heaven! From then on, you will enjoy the glory of God and sit beside him! Amen!" The high priest burst into tears while praying for Solomon V.

But I, who was standing next to me, closed my eyes.

The bagpipe was thinking in my ears, and I seemed to be back to the howling Scottish Highlands in a moment.

After the death of Solomon V, a grand funeral held by the traditional denomination, his body was placed in the Cathedral of St. Moses in the Holy See to receive memorials from all believers.
