179 Huangjialou Cathedral
The advancement of international conscience is imminent, and if it is delayed for too long, it will cause irreparable damage to his body.
Chongxu had no choice but to let Guoliang and Sun Xiaoqi go to the Nanshan Yam Field to find a mountain beard, and they had to find another way to welcome Shevchenko's arrival.
He called Su Chen, the lord of Yandong City, and asked him to bring people to Baishui immediately, and asked Li Li to be prepared to deal with it.
After making these arrangements, he set his sights on the magnificent Huangjialou Cathedral across the road.
Huangjialou Church was built 113 years ago and is the largest church in Jiangbei. The church is located in Huining County, Baishui City, and was named after Huang Jiajie, a famous cloth merchant in Baishui at that time.
The church is designed and built by the famous German designer Hermann, the building complex covers an area of 3 hectares, the whole is in the Gothic style, the twin towers are high, grandiose, atmospheric, sometimes integrated with oriental characteristics, and the red tile roof shines in the sun.
At noon, the doors of the church were closed, and Chongxu, Bailing, Qiu Xiang, Yutu, Kuamo, Ao Ding, and Mitsuko Yamada entered the hospital through the small gate.
Entering the courtyard, there is a janitor telling you that it is time to rest, and we will not accept visitors.
Chongxu said: "I'm looking for someone, is Father Su Dong here?"
The uncle glanced at him from top to bottom and said, "Wait!"
Not long after the uncle put down the phone, Brother Liu, who played the role of Su Dong's bodyguard when he went to the pyramid, walked out of the main hall. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Chongxu, "It's you? We're looking for you!"
Walking into the main hall of the church, Chongxu noticed that more than a dozen clergy were busy in the main hall of the two-story church, some were drawing pictures and texts on the corner of the hall, some were hanging silver mirrors on the wall, and some were smearing the ground with mutton fat, as if they were arranging a magic circle.
The smell of the house is really hard to get rid of
Brother Liu reminded them to slide carefully, leading them through the main hall and straight to a room in the backyard.
In the room, an old foreigner was discussing something with more than a dozen clergymen, and Su Dong and his team members Lin Yue, Guan Sheng and others were also among them.
Su Dong saw the heavy ruins through the window of the room, and was overjoyed, and said to the old foreigner: "Lord Pastor, we are saved." ”
After speaking, he rushed out of the house and asked, "Friends of the demon clan, why are you here?"
Chongxu said: "We have received reliable information that Duke Shevchenko of the Brotherhood will come to Baishui to arrest you in the next two days. But it seems that you also know the news and are prepared. ”
Su Dong knew that he was talking about the magic circle in the main hall. He was surprised: "You said he came to Whitewater to catch me." I thought he was attacking St. Sophie's Cathedral after attacking it. ”
Chongxu said: "Even if it is to destroy the church, but also to arrest you, the two are not in conflict." ”
Su Dong asked, "What did he arrest me for?"
"Because you know we exist, he wants to dig us out through you. To keep us secretive, I have two options, either kill you or keep you. ”
Su Dong's eyes showed a bright light, and he said, "You obviously didn't enter the door openly to kill me. ”
Chongxu raised the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers, "Clever!"
Su Dong then called out John and another priest with a face in the west, and led Chongxu and the others into a conference room.
The conference room is very simple, a large table with more than a dozen wooden chairs, and the tables and chairs are obviously old and have the marks of time. There are three oil paintings hanging on the wall, all donated by tourists, depicting the Huangjialou Cathedral from different angles.
Seating in the reception room, Su Dong introduced Chongxu to John.
John has been silently peeping at Chongxu and the others, and has sensed a powerful evil power in Chongxu, Kuamoo, Bailing, and Yamada Mitsuko, and has sensed the divine aura on the bodies of Ao Ding, Yutu, and Qiu Xiang, and is wondering what the origin of these people in front of him is!
Hearing Su Dong say that they were the legendary Oriental Demon Clan, he was very surprised, and said in his heart: "The Eastern Demon is so strong? Not only is it not afraid of the church, but it also comes through the exorcism array that I have carefully arranged?"
Mitsuko Yamada immediately read his thoughts, and said in a slightly stiff Mandarin: "We are not lowly vampires, we are not cursed creatures of darkness, and we are naturally not afraid of your exorcism array. ”
John was surprised to be seen through his mind, and hurriedly held his breath and buried his thoughts.
Su Dong pointed to John and said to Chongxu: "This is the Episcopal Priest John......"
Chongxu replied for him: "I know that Pastor John was born in London, England, and graduated from the Divinity School of Xinjin University. 19 He began to preach, and was known as the modern-day John the Baptist. In the 80s of the last century, he came to Dongtu and stayed in Shanghai for two years, and after the death of Father Steve of Huangjialou Cathedral, he took over Kevin's position. Because of the benefits of the mission, he was promoted to pastor 10 years ago. The other is Father Kevin, who came to Dongtu in the 70s and is very popular with Whitewater. ”
Su Dongxin said: "It turns out that he has already checked us." He said: "Then again, I only know that you are demons, and you didn't tell me your specific identity before!"
Chongxu smiled slightly and said, "First of all, let's correct a little, we are not all demons. The Ao Ding over there is a descendant of the Dragon Clan, and the Jade Rabbit and Qiu Xiang are the mortal immortals, they are the gods of our East. ”
Father Kevin's eyes lit up and he nodded to Ao Ding, Yutu, and Qiu Xiang.
Chongxu continued: "As for me, I am the son of the Demon Venerable, and my name is Chongxu. ”
John and Kevin asked Su Dong in a low voice, "What is the Demon Venerable?"
Su Dong replied, "It's Lucifer of the East." ”
John was still smiling.
Kevin's eyes blinked like Christmas lights, and he didn't know what attitude to use to face the ruins: respect him, he is the son of the Demon Venerable, which is against the teachings, and evil, he is a reinforcement to help meet the enemy...... Embarrassed. He smiled politely at Chongxu, and beckoned John and Su Dongdao: "Two brothers, come with me." ”
The three of them went out one after another to Kevin's living room.
Kevin silently recited a spell to form a soundproof barrier outside the room, and said to John and Su Dong: "These people are both good and evil, and it is against the doctrine for us to mix with them!"
Su Dong said: "My lord, it's time for this, don't care about good and evil." As long as it can help us, it is our friend. ”
Kevin said, "How can that work? As servants of the Lord's Father, we must follow the Lord's word." The Lord said that you should not trust the gods of others. He also said not to soak your heart in darkness. We must not abandon the Lord's counsel because we are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Su Dong said: "Your Excellency, I am not afraid of death, it is our honor to die for the Lord and Father. My concern is that the temple of God is defiled by demons. Can you bear to see the Huangjialou Cathedral follow in the footsteps of St. Suphie's Cathedral and be burned to ashes by demons?"
