Chapter 5 Crossing Time and Space by Long Plane (Revised)
Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, only to see Mai Ke striding over.
The fighters stopped, stopped shouting, and swarmed to meet them.
It's not that Mai Ke really has so much authority over them that the order is forbidden, but that these people are worried about Mai Ke's life and death, and when they saw him blowing up again, they naturally came over to see what was going on, and put everything else aside.
After a period of rambling, Mai Ke told them about his current situation and thanked them for coming all the way to see him.
Then McKe asked them, "What happened just now, why is it so lively?"
Peter pointed at Zhang Yuan and the others, and shouted: "These people dare to call you little brother, I want to teach them a lesson for my eldest brother!"
Zhang Yuan and the others laughed helplessly when they heard him still say this.
"What was the result?" asked Mai Ke with a smile.
"They're better than me. ”
Peter had to answer truthfully.
"It also lets you know that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. ”
Mai Ke said to Peter.
"Is this guy okay?"
Turned his head and asked Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan nodded: "The foundation is good, and there is great potential." ”
"It's really a family that doesn't recognize a family. Mai Ke walked to the conference room on the top floor and said to everyone, "Come here! ”
After everyone sat down, Mai Ke told everyone about the joint construction of the special brigade that he had negotiated with General John and Old Man Hong. "All of you here are the core members I specifically requested, how about it, is there a problem?"
McCor finally asked.
"No problem!"
Everyone stood up.
"As long as you follow the eldest brother, you can go anywhere!"
Peter added.
"That's it, where does the little brother point to fight. ”
Brother Eleven also said loudly.
Eleventh Brother is the youngest of the members of the Brotherhood League, except for Mai Ke. He was also twenty-four years old, but he was born a few days earlier.
His name is Chen Yucheng, and he is also a strong martial artist, energetic, and loved by everyone, in addition to loving Mai Ke. Except for the eldest brother, those members of the Brotherhood who are bigger than him have been tricked by him.
"It's a little brother again!"
Peter muttered, but his voice was deliberately lowered.
"I'm their little brother, they're all my big brother. ”
Mai Ke took the opportunity to introduce the Brotherhood Alliance to the members of the Concentric Pact, and also introduced the Concentric Deed to the Brotherhood Alliance.
"From now on, we will be a family, although we didn't know each other before, from now on, you both treat each other like me, understand?"
"I don't understand!"
It's Peter again.
The people of the same heart burst out laughing. Several members of the Brotherhood couldn't help laughing.
"Just you!" said Paul.
"In the future, you can just call these Chinese friends big brother. ”
Peter was still full of suspicion, looked at Mai Ke, and saw that he nodded in affirmation, and then said depressedly, "Since the eldest brother said it, I will do it." ”
Then, Mai Ke explained the purpose and tasks of this special brigade.
To put it simply, it is to concentrate the top elite. On behalf of the two countries to work closely together to deal with the most urgent matters. Including terrorist attacks, outer space dangers, hostage rescue, and more.
Normally, they are on standby while training, and can only be mobilized by a special directive signed by a joint party.
However, what Mai Ke did not reveal further is. Such an order could only be signed by his uncle, grandfather, General John, and grandfather, Old Man Hong.
And the order can only be received by Mai Ke, because he is the only permanent captain of this special brigade.
After listening to it, everyone was a little eager to try it out, and couldn't wait to know more details about this new mission and new challenge. Peter didn't bother with what had suddenly become the younger brother of many people, and he had something to do. That's what pleases him the most.
Someone asked where their base was.
"There's no rush for now. ”
Mai Ke pressed the head of the conversation and said, "I'll finish the second thing first, what I just said is the first thing." The second thing is even more significant. ”
Is there something more important? Everyone felt a little unexpected, and waited eagerly for Mai Ke's next step.
At that moment, Mai Ke revealed to everyone the crossing task he had gotten.
During the few days he was stuck in a puddle, Mai Ke had a few more conversations with the voice who spoke to him for the first time and gave him the crossing mission, and he learned more about the crossing mission.
He has two days left from today and he can do some of the necessary preparations, including telling his chosen people something relevant and asking them to do some of the preparation as well.
Mai Ke himself needed to make up for the situation about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and be familiar with all the hostile forces that the regime faced.
There is a lot of flexibility in these things, and the most important thing is that he needs to be certified as a priest.
The reason is that his grandfather was also a priest, and he went to cross, and this identity cannot be filled indiscriminately.
"Thankfully, I put a lot of effort into theology, otherwise this would have killed me. ”
In this era when exams are a panacea, being a pastor also needs to be limited by educational qualifications, and exam results also need to be used as a stepping stone.
"I told you a long time ago that you have been preparing for this mission for a long time. I remembered the voice at that time, and immediately took this opportunity to further tell Mai Ke that all this was expected.
"Can you tell us how to get there?"
Mai Ke also tried to verify this crucial link again.
"You'll know then, and now you don't have to worry about it, you won't be able to help. ”
The voice replied, teasing Mai Ke by the way.
Mai Ke told everything he knew to his brothers in the brotherhood and the covenant.
Actually, he doesn't know much.
Then he told them to be ready.
There is no need to think about material things, and it is useless to prepare, mainly in terms of knowledge and ability.
As for how to reconcile the relationship between the existence of this world and the existence of the world that will pass through, everyone is ignorant.
Finally, Mai Ke instructed that the countdown should start now, and there are still two days left, and everyone will gather here on time the day after tomorrow. Let's go through together!
"During this period, I don't care if you sleep a lot, or go to gamble, or learn knowledge, just don't delay your departure when the time comes. ”
McKee finally herded the sheep.
Except for those four classmates. Everyone else is used to this kind of unexpected situation and can take orders at any time.
And these classmates have their own jobs, but fortunately they are not married, which is probably part of the preparation.
Since there was not much time, after Mai Ke finished speaking, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Others can move at will, but Mai Ke doesn't have this choice.
The next morning, accompanied by General John, he went to the Presbyterian church in New York where they were meeting, and negotiated with the presiding elder and senior pastor about ordaining Mai Ke as pastor.
As a matter of fact. General John is one of the lifelong elders of this church, but he has a bye this year, not a rotating elder.
As soon as the story was said, especially when they heard the time requirement, the people in the church shook their heads.
The senior pastor was okay and reluctantly agreed to hold a special exam for Mai Ke.
The presiding elder insisted that it must be discussed and decided by all the elders, because there was no precedent for such a matter.
So the elders were called in for an emergency meeting.
After several discussions. They decided to open the net and give McKee a special treatment.
All processes. In the end, it was decided to go in two steps.
In the first step, the senior pastor is in charge of the exam, which ends before 2 p.m. for the four-hour exam.
In the other step, the presiding elder is responsible for convening all the members of the elder pool, that is, all the rotating elders and the rotating elders, to hold a meeting to decide on Mai Ke's eldership qualifications.
If both steps are passed. The ordination ceremony will be held tonight.
If any step is not passed, the matter is not negotiable.
The questions for the exam are randomly selected from the question bank.
It consists of five main sections: biblical interpretation, theological systems, shepherding the congregation, and church history. Church governance.
The questions in each section have short-answer questions, short essay questions, and essay questions.
Mai Ke, who has four doctorates, is known as an invincible master in the exam, and within four hours, he answered a total of 100 short-answer questions, 25 short-answer questions, and 10 essay questions.
For the most difficult Bible and theological questions for ordinary people, Mai Ke did not find it too laborious, but for those governance questions and pastoral questions, he was exhausted.
For example, one of the governance questions, "how to deal with paganism", this kind of practical response question, made him rack his brains and did not find the ideal answer.
It was not until he was almost finished answering that he suddenly realized that one of the main tasks of his crossing was not to face the challenge of paganism? It was not at all possible to go back and re-answer or start another time, so he had to hurriedly write, "Confront it head-on with the truth, and attract people's hearts with love", which can be regarded as a concluding answer with such a principle.
By the time he finished his exam, the elders over there had been discussing for more than an hour.
Under the strong appeal of General John, and after listening to his briefing on all aspects of the situation of Mai Ke, especially knowing the reasons why Mai Ke had to be ordained by the priest in this special way, the opposition was very small.
According to General John, McCoe was about to go on a mission to a foreign country, and that was where their faith flourished.
The tradition of the Presbyterian Church has always been to support the ministry, so these elders have a strong sense of mission.
When it came time for the final vote, even those who were most opposed at first reluctantly supported it.
In this way, this later step took the lead in the result, giving the priest of Mai Ke half the green light for ordination.
Not long after, the results of Mai Ke's written test also came out.
That's an unprecedented speed!
It turned out that the senior pastor had ten pastors to judge the papers together, and each two pastors were responsible for a part.
The final score was pretty good.
Three sections related to the Bible and theology received perfect marks, especially the theological section, and the answers were so good that the senior pastor who judged the paper couldn't help but be amazed.
Even if Mai Ke thinks that the answer is not good, the score is not low.
As a result, Mai Ke passed the written examination for pastor qualification with an overall score.
Although the oral examination and ordination procedures were also challenging, Mai Ke coped with them with ease.
By nine o'clock in the evening, he was officially ordained Presbyterian minister.
Of course it's only deputy, and that's the case for anyone at first.
Mai Ke was busy for a while, and after calculation, there were thirteen hours, during which he did not eat, drink, or rest.
With his physique, he was a little overwhelmed.
The priests and elders who had been tossing with him for a day, some of them were quite old, and they worked even harder.
Therefore, as soon as the results came out, everyone rushed to the Confucius Hotel in Chinatown, ready to feast.
Zhang Yuan: They had already arranged it there.
At 8 p.m. local time in November 2013, a total of 23 members of the Maike Special Brigade gathered in the conference room on the top floor of the Shuangshu Hotel.
These people don't care whether they went to New York or returned to their hometown in the past two days, and none of them made a mistake.
Everyone saw that the time had come, and they all looked at Mai Ke, wondering how to cross. Mai Ke himself is also at a loss.
At this moment, Mai Ke's familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Gone." ”
Like a meteor flashing.
I didn't feel any movement, the room, the hotel, the city, the United States, the earth were gone.
In the blink of an eye, Mai Ke and the others had already arrived in another place.
After they were down-to-earth, they looked around and saw that a round of rising sun was rising.
There was smoke around the cooking, and chickens and dogs smelled each other.
As far as the eye can see, the trees are shady, and the sky is longitudinal and horizontal.
A signboard stands at the crossing, with three quaint characters of "Jintian Village" written on it.
