Chapter 226: The Son/Baptism
"Baptism of the Son, Baptism of the Son, Baptism of the Son, ......"
The interrogation of Master Tanuki is still continuing, and the most important thing in the first interrogation record that has just been released is this recurring four-character keyword, Sun Suhe took a pen and circled one of them on the interrogation record, and then stroked it in the middle.
Isn't Tan Fuji the so-called "Holy Son"? Now that he is dead, he has to choose a new one? But this "baptism" refers to the Christian initiation ceremony, and is it not an internal succession, but a new one from the outside? This is not logical? ”
Alice looked at those four words and said, "It's really unreasonable. However, when it comes to religion, there are many places where common sense cannot be inferred. There should be no ambiguity between the words "Holy Son", and the word "baptism" may not refer to the initiation ceremony in our traditional understanding. For such a cult, it is not seniority but divinity that determines the successor, at least as it should be on the surface. Therefore, it is not impossible to find a new person from the outside world and endow him with sacredness through some kind of ritual, regardless of seniority. In the process, the so-called miracles can also be revealed, which is a great means of rallying the believers. ”
"When you say that, I think that some influential serious religions will also engage in the reincarnation of spirit children. ”
"Yes, religion always puts sacredness and mystery first, and there are many benefits to artificially creating a sacred idol, and a new person with no roots is convenient for those who actually control it. ”
"But don't I have the impression that Christianity does not engage in idolatry?" asked Sun Suhe.
"This Kidarsan retreat is just a Christian skin, and all doctrines are just tools, how can they be seriously observed. Alice laughs, "Virtually almost all religions focus on creating a charismatic leader or leader. After all, doctrine is false, and a real and visible idol can exert unimaginable charisma. ”
In this way, the reason why this Kida Mountain retreat has shown some abnormal actions in a hurry for quick success is probably related to this "baptism of the Holy Son". This is what we guessed they might be doing. Sun Suhe scanned the interrogation record up and down a few times, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "But most of the places in this interrogation record are some teachings in the clouds, and there is not much information that is actually useful, and there is no time, place, or the situation of the participants." ”
"Let's go and see if there is any update on the progress of Master Tanuki. Alice said and stood up, "By the way, what about the bear? ”
"I know, I've coaxed her to sleep, she must be asleep by now, I'll take a look at it later. ”
The two walked through the corridor, talking as they walked, Sun Suhe asked, "Should we inform the 22nd Bureau, logically speaking, this kind of thing should be their job." ”
"To be honest, it may be because of the old man's stiffness before, I haven't believed in this twenty-two game. We still do it our own way, but just say hello to them, there are some things they definitely do better than we do, like helping the victims. Why don't you give Chen Jianming a call, isn't he in charge of the two of us?"
Sun Suhe smiled: "It's better for you to fight, that kid blushes when he sees you, you talk much better than me, you can say ten words when you say one sentence." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll fight, I'll fight. Alice took out her mobile phone and dialed Chen Jianming's number.
Sun Suhe turned around and went up the stairs, "I'll go see if the bear is asleep, you go first, I'll come over immediately." ”
"Hmm. Alice said as she turned into the basement.
Sun Suhe walked lightly to the bear's room, opened the door and looked in, the bear slept sweetly, but he didn't dare to compliment his sleep, the quilt was kicked out of the clouds, one leg was on the bedside table, and the little half of his body had rolled out of the bed, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Sun Suhe shook his head with a smile, opened the door gently, carefully carried her to the middle of the bed, then covered her with the quilt, stuffed the corners of the quilt, wiped her saliva, and then closed the door and went to the basement.
The basement was brightly lit, and Chen Weiliang sat half-reclining on a chair, his eyes closed and his face distorted, as if he had fallen into a nightmare that could not wake up. But there were always words in his mouth: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul." But he who can destroy his body and soul in hell is afraid of him......"
Old Man Tanuki floated in front of Chen Weiliang, his two front paws lightly resting on his temples, his mouth secretly reciting a spell, his eyes half-closed and half-closed, and a few long whiskers trembling gently.
Alice sat on the couch beside her, and the three unconscious Saints were also lying on the other side of the couch. She pointed her index finger to her lips and signaled Sun Suhe, who had just come in, to be quiet.
"Is the bear asleep?" asked Alice in her mind.
"She slept so well that she couldn't wake her up with anything but an apple milkshake. What did Chen Jianming say over there?"
"I was about to tell you this. He said yes, saying that he would help the victims recover safely, but he said that there were some things that he had to discuss with us in person, and he hoped that it would be as soon as possible. ”
Sun Suhe smiled: "He wants to see you." How do you answer him?"
"Idiot. Alice glanced at Sun Suhe, and then said: "Although he didn't look very sure, listening to the tone of his words, it seems that he is not ignorant of this cult and is very interested. So I said I'll think about it and let him know when I set a time and place in two days tomorrow. ”
"This is interesting, this bullshit Jidashan retreat is still a sweet pastry, and Zhou Yiqing and Zhuang Fengyu seem to be very interested in it. And at that time, there were a few outsiders who didn't know their origins. ”
At this time, the old man Tanuki let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
Chen Weiliang's distorted face gradually calmed down, but he still kept repeating it intermittently, "Blessed are the hungry and thirsty for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, and persevere in prayer. Blessing them that persecute you, but bless them, and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who mourn......"
"I'm tired of thinking about it. The old man flicked his tail impatiently and flew to the sofa and sat down cross-legged.
"Master Tanuki, is there any new progress?" Sun Suhe hurriedly asked.
