Chapter 166: Believers in God

One hundred and sixty-six believers in God

"Ten times, twenty times?!Turnips and sticks, I understand!" Wang Jieren lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a realization flashed in his mind: Xiao Zheng's speculation on people's hearts turned out to be so unusual.

"I get it, too. Wang Zhao's understanding lies in the fact that the tenfold profit is enough for people to sell his soul, and the twenty times the legal recovery is nothing under the soul sale. Zheng Shao is harvesting his soul with money, but he personally likes the feeling of being harvested, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised.

Li Biao, who was sitting on the side, also understood that the young man surnamed Zheng could really go to a battlefield that he didn't understand, but he was a person who was dragged to the battlefield for no reason, and he could only wait and see what happened!

In a church in Hong Kong, an old man stood alone in front of the crucifixion, standing quietly, very religious, and very silent. His dress and physical features suggest that he was a foreigner, a Jew, and possibly a noble gentleman.

Today is Monday, and the old man came to the church early in the morning, and one stop is an hour. "The Lord will hear your belated prayers. The priest quietly walked up to the old man and spoke calmly.

"Father, I feel like I'm making a huge mistake, and this mistake will affect many people, and some will even pay an unbearable price for it!" the old man looked up at the source of his faith.

"For the righteousness of the Lord, sinners will be punished and perish. The mercy of the Lord, who has mercy and salvation. But the Lord's mercy could not contradict his righteousness, so He sent His only Son into the world ------to bear the punishment for men, fulfilled the requirements of righteousness, and finally died on the cross, and at the same time satisfied the Lord's mercy, and opened a way for the world to forgive sins and be saved by grace. As long as his people always have faith in him, know how to repent, and repent from time to moment, the Lord will forgive him for all his actions, and he will receive the Lord's mercy. The priest did not know what the old man was wrong about, but he always explained to the Lord's people, "The Lord loved the world and gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." But not all people in the world will believe in the Lord's teachings, and people in this mortal world will go through all kinds of tribulations, and those who are not strong-willed and psychologically impure will be tempted, possessed, and even betrayed by Satan (demons...... Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned, because he does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of Christ. ”

The conversation between the two in front of the cross, the omnipotent Lord, he must have heard it clearly, and he also knew what this old man from the other side, his "hometown", was going to do, but he did not stop him from stopping his next behavior!

The old man got the answer he wanted from the priest, perhaps he knew it would be this kind of answer, and his eyes were full of determination and decisiveness after decades of ups and downs. Before every big operation, he would visit a nearby church, whether it was a storm or a shower. It had been a habit for him for decades, and he needed something from his Lord to give him, and he was content with even a drop of faith power. "Thank you, Father, I think I know what to do! I need to do what I have to do. Farewell, Father!" said the old man, after thanking the priest, prayed again to his Lord, and after a few silent words, he turned and walked out the way he had entered, and every step seemed so powerful.

"Lost Lamb, the Lord will always guide you in the right direction, may the Lord bless His people, Amen!" the priest's voice echoed through the empty church, and naturally reached the ears of the old man.

“Father!It's all set up over there。 They are all arranged over there until we pass。 A middle-aged man stood guard at the door of the church, saw the old man come out, hurried up, and greeted respectfully.

"This is no longer part of my British territory, Chinese there is a saying, "Do as the locals do Chinese!" The old man stopped, looked at the only son who had followed him to Hong Kong, China, and rebuked him solemnly.

"Yes, father, I know it's wrong, enter, follow the customs!" replied the middle-aged man respectfully in awe of his father.

"Well, there is also an idiom in China called Ruzi can be taught. The old man took a step forward and said as he walked, "China's history and culture are too long, and their written language is too profound, and they can summarize so many and so profound meanings in just four words! Their ancestors are really great! Explore a promising future. ”

"Father, I think that China's main civilization has already been broken twice: in 1276, when the Yuan Dynasty conquered the Southern Song Dynasty and conquered all of China, it was destroyed once by the Mongols, and in 1644, when the Qing Dynasty made Beijing its capital, it was destroyed again by the Manchu braids. The 268 years of servile rule of their last feudal dynasty led them into a state of ignorance, ignorance, arrogance, and backwardness, and if it had not been for the British Empire opening their doors and helping them to establish treaty ports, they might still be immersed in the sweet dream of the "Celestial Empire". The middle-aged man seems to have a kind of discrimination against China from his heart, and said with a sigh of relief.

"I have always known that you are indignant about the return of Hong Kong, but don't forget that this is not a game that you and our family can participate in, it is a political game between countries, and we just need to do our duty. Originally, we had the opportunity to rule this large area of land in the same way as India----- and the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is recorded in their recent history, in 1900 AD, was the best opportunity. At that time, even their capital was occupied by us, but in the end, why did the Eight Kingdoms stop the next action at the same time?" The old man seemed to be remembering something, looked down at the land on the ground, and said softly, "Is it really because of a conflict of interest within us, infighting?"

If Zheng Xuanqi or other historians were present at this time, he would definitely be shocked by the subsequent dialogue, it turns out that the truth of history is really controlled and dominated by a small number of people.

"As long as there are interests, there is a win-win opportunity! There are conflicts, and it is natural! Chinese have loved infighting since ancient times, but we are different, and aristocratic civilization and contract spirit have allowed us to find the best way to resolve conflicts. Although our modern civilization in the West has a short history, it has always been very creative and innovative, and has an unstoppable forward momentum and adventurous spirit, and there will never be a feudal dynasty like those in Chinese history that adopted the extreme method of exterminating the nine and ten ethnic groups in order to maintain their rule. "A middle-aged person may be a historian or a sociologist. He must be extremely familiar with Chinese history and world history. At the same time, he was more interested in some of the secrets hidden under the history books, and asked curiously, "Father, I have studied China's modern history, and I have also compared the world's modern history. The history you are talking about, whether it is the East or our Western history books, is extremely rare in detail, and most of what we can find is the East India Company at that time, some private logs, and fragments recorded by the Chinese themselves, the main content of which is either a scramble or a revolution. Why is that?"

"Because this land is called the land of God, the light of our Lord at that time could not shine here. The old man looked up and saw that there was no one around, and the driver sat quietly in the car, and when he saw a bench beside him, he went over and sat down, and said to his son, who followed him, "I need you to listen carefully to the rest of the story, and to remember it carefully, and promise not to tell your successor until you return to the arms of the Lord." ”

The middle-aged man was startled, he finally understood why he was the only one among his many siblings who had been allowed to follow him to Hong Kong by his father, and he had a premonition that he would be the next patriarch of the family, because he saw jealousy and resentment in the eyes of the rest of the family. Now his father said the above paragraph to him very solemnly, which confirmed his premonition and speculation. The middle-aged man immediately became more serious and serious than ever, and swore an oath: "Father, I swear to the Lord with my soul, and I, Anthony Hawkins, must remember -------"

"Listen to my grandfather, your great-grandfather, the army of the Eight Kingdoms that invaded Beijing at that time, their commanders, generals, once held celebrations in the Forbidden City of Beijing, the Forbidden City of the Chinese, and the place where the emperor met the emperor. At the meeting, they discussed how to turn the entire city of Beijing upside down, because at that time, the troops of the Eight Nations had snatched too much gold, silver, jewelry, and ancient paintings of writing, which far exceeded their imagination. Subsequently, they unanimously decided (bypassing the then German commander Wadsey) to find other treasures buried under the ground and move them to their own country, even if they blew up the Forbidden City. Not long after the decision was reached, suddenly the entire hall was shrouded by an unknown force, and then four strangely dressed people (none of them had the pig's tail of the Qing Dynasty at that time) came in, pointing to the generals and commanders of the Eight Kingdoms present and saying, no, they were ordered to immediately command the army to withdraw from the Forbidden City, and not to destroy the slightest building inside. The generals and commanders naturally ordered the guards and soldiers to fire at these people, who knew that the scene at that time immediately stunned all the people present, all the bullets seemed to touch an invisible wall, stopped at the position of the four of them 2 meters ago, and then fell, and then the generals and those guards who gave the order to fire suddenly all fell unconscious, collapsed to the ground, and died unexplained. The only people who escaped death were the few people, fortunately my grandfather was close to the commander of the Eight-Power Alliance, Wadsey, and because he was proficient in Chinese, he could speak Chinese, and even some dialects in southwest China. After that, and then it was history, and their Forbidden City was not burned down by us like the Old Summer Palace, and we did not continue to invest in the army to occupy their country. The old man slowly told the truth that had been hidden from the history books------ and only told his grandfather his secret when he was dying. At that time, he remembered very well that his grandfather died because he accidentally fell down the stairs and hit his head.
