Chapter 44: Prelude to the Holy Burial
In the statue space, Tulo sits high on the throne, and the entire statue space is different from the past, more spacious, and has a kind of vitality that has not been seen before. Toura's eyes revealed endless mysteries, like the vastness of the universe, and he had set his sights on the church.
Today, the holy mountain is different from the past and is full of chanting, a little less lively, but a little more quiet, as if the entire holy mountain is silent in an inexplicable sadness.
The hymn sounded, and the song resounded throughout the holy mountain, echoing in the hearts of every believer, as if singing the praises of a returning warrior, and as if singing the praises of the greatness and grace of the gods.
……
"Your Excellency, Archbishop!" A bishop respectfully walked over to Hu Yin's side, holding in his hand a scroll filled with dense writing.
Archbishop Li Liang opened his slightly closed eyes, stopped thinking about the question, and glanced at the bishop who came to him with some surprise, he wanted to know what news the bishop who was very valued by him had brought him.
"Your Excellency, this is a secret letter sent through the statue of the gods, which records all the deeds about Wudong City." The bishop bowed his head respectfully, he did not dare to have any disrespect for this very kind-looking archbishop, although he was very much loved by the archbishop, but the archbishop's prestige in the church was not groundless.
In the church, Archbishop Li Liang is well-known for his iron-blooded methods, and he may seem very gentle and benevolent in ordinary times, but once he makes a mistake, he will never bypass anyone, even if you are the person most valued by the other party, even if he regrets it, it is useless, unless he can let the idol of the god Tulo appear and be forgiven by the gods, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.
Li Liang took the secret letter in the other party's hand, and a golden holy light lit up on his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the seal on the other party's secret letter had been dissolved. This seal is to prevent others from obtaining some secrets of the Church, so the seal must be broken with holy power to view the contents, and if it is opened by force, then the secret letter will be reduced to a blank slate.
Li Liang read it carefully, nodded as he read, and after a while raised his head and whispered, "Finally back, may the glory of my god shine on them!" ”
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Li Liang had already learned everything that had happened in Wudong City, including how many people had died in the inquisition, as well as the Wang family's supernatural powers, and the strange scenes that had never appeared in the sky over Wudong City for tens of millions of years, etc.
He now learned that three inquisitors had died in the Inquisition, and he couldn't help but feel a heartache in his heart, each of the inquisitors was a true believer, and their strength had at least reached A-level, not to mention that most of the inquisitors were part-time pastors, and it could be said that they were multi-purpose talents of the church, and each of them was cultivated by the church with a lot of effort.
Every death is a big blow to a church that isn't strong right now.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop?" The bishop called out to Li Liang softly, and he saw that the archbishop's condition was not good now, so he greeted him.
"Ma Gan, the people of the Inquisition are on their way back, and the matter of the Holy Burial needs to be prepared at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, and the glory of our God will cover the entire Holy Mountain. You go down and explain it, let everyone be steady, otherwise they will be seen by the court when the time comes, and they will know the consequences without me telling them. Li Liang frowned and said seriously.
The bishop named Ma Gan was shocked to know what the archbishop was talking about, and that he was warning the people in the church.
Not all bishops and clergy in the Church are devout believers, and most bishops are bishops whose faith meets the standards of only shallow believers, but who have been given the position of bishop because they are very good at developing believers.
So there are a lot of conflicts of interest.
"Yes!" After Ma Gan replied respectfully, he walked out of the hall to complete the task assigned to him by the archbishop.
Li Liang looked at the back of Ma Gan who was far away, this bishop was brought out by him, he was pious to the Lord's faith, and he had very haode management skills, the only thing that was not haode was that he didn't care much about the development of believers.
Li Liang stroked the scepter in his hand, which he loved very much, this scepter had been shrouded in holy light for more than a year, so that it had some attributes of holy light, and it had a certain strengthening effect on the use of divine magic.
"I really don't know what kind of fame Hu Yin will make this time." Li Liang looked at the busy disciples outside the window with some concern, the church is not strong now, although there are gods behind it, but he doesn't dare to speculate on the thoughts of the gods. And now the Pope is also busy with the Faith in the coastal areas, which will be a breakthrough, which will be very beneficial for the whole Church.
As for the Holy Highness who is comparable to the Pope's crown, she also knows where she is going.
So he tried his best to gain a firm foothold in H City, and gradually developed, turning the entire H City into an iron wall and the home of the church. But this is not enough for the entire country Z, in addition to the other churches in country Z, there are four major families, not to mention that there is a national government above the four major families.
Li Liang is only suitable for Shoucheng, but he is not good at opening up territory. Although it has stabilized the base camp of the church and made the church an iron plate to the outside world, it has also made the development of the church a little slow, in fact, he can't be blamed for this.
Of course, country Z is also a democratic country, there is no restriction on faith, and the government of country Z only prevents the growth of the church, and the church is too strong and not conducive to the government's rule.
Li Liang stood up and put down the scepter in his hand, he already felt what the current crisis of the church was, what happened in Wudong City would push the church to the storm, and at this time it would undoubtedly attract the attention of all parties, and what worried him the most was that the government would not let this church grow.
……
In the holy mountain, the hymn sounded, and in the hymn all the believers were busy with their work, and they had to make all preparations for the holy burial to be held tomorrow, and new clothes were a must, which was a sign of respect for the outstanding believer who died. It is also necessary to prepare dry food for the day tomorrow, because on the day of the Holy Burial, all the faithful must sit in the square and pray.
A sealed letter is being sent through the Idol Teleportation Array to the branch halls of the Destiny Temples in various places, and Zuihou will be sent to the important priests and clergy in the local area, ordering them to rush back to the Holy Mountain by eight o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise they will be punished by the Church.
Among the 100,000 people in the southeast district, half of the citizens have become believers under the influence of Zhongnan Hospital, and 10,000 of them have registered as members of the church in the renamed Holy Treatment Hospital.
With 50,000 believers, plus 10,000 of them, such strength can be said to be unique in the entire church. He is now perfectly capable of standing at the top of the church.
"Yes, according to this development, as long as the strength is strong, the influence of this hospital will become stronger and stronger in the future, and it will not be a problem to cover the whole world." Lei Luo looked at the information from the hospital, and under the temptation of neuroprosthetics, the Holy Treatment Hospital had attracted more than seventy veteran doctors from all over the world to join the hospital.
In just a few short weeks, the Holy Sanatorium has become famous all over the world. Jishu, who perfectly repairs nerves, has given many paralyzed patients a future, bringing layers of aura to the hospital. Of course, there are many people who want to know the mystery of this jishu, but unfortunately no matter how hard they try, they can't get any information.
It's just that he can't announce the news that it can treat all kinds of cancers now, otherwise the current sacred sanatorium has become a place where the world is watching.
At that moment, a priest walked in and handed him a letter containing the power of the spirit.
"Huh?" Lei Luo looked at the letter in surprise, he didn't know what had happened in the church recently, so he had such an expression.
"It's strange, such letters don't usually go out." Lei Luo muttered, opened the letter, read its contents, and looked up in shock after a moment.
"I actually got a funeral like a holy burial!" Lei Luo is a devout believer, of course, he knows a lot about the various gifts in the church, the holy burial is equivalent to the posthumous king, will make the whole church pray for a day, fast for seven days, and the deeds will be adapted into stories recorded in the holy scriptures.
"Incredible." This is the only word that Lei Luo can now use to express his current feelings, and this is how the first believer of the church to receive a holy burial was born. At the same time, I was curious about what would make him get a funeral of such a scale and let the whole church see him off.
Lei Luo smashed the letter in his hand, he had to hurry back now, but fortunately, he was not too far away from the Holy Mountain, so there was no need to rush.
When he explained everything, he left, and things at the hospital were on the right track. His goal now is to convert the remaining 50,000 citizens of the Southeast District to believers, which is of course very difficult, because most of these citizens are achristians and atheists. I don't believe in the so-called gods, if it was easy to do in ancient times, but now it is very difficult, not to mention that under the ideology of the government of country Z, their shijie concept is already very solid.
……
Most of the clergy of the Temple of Destiny are distributed in the cities and rural towns and counties around H City, so this holy burial does not need to be prepared for long.
"My Lord, what is the point of the statement of God Tulo, 'He loved the world, and all men loved him, and then he deserved to be glorified by his glory'? A believer is asking a pastor a question.
"What my god says is ......" the pastor was about to explain the meaning to the believer, when he was interrupted by a shout.
"It's your letter!" A young man handed him a letter.
“xiexie!” The pastor sincerely thanked him, but when he received the letter, he was stunned, immediately opened the envelope, and after quickly scanning it, he also crushed the letter.
This made the believer very confused.
The priest hurriedly closed his holy book and said to the believer, "The meaning of this sentence is on the seventy-second page of the holy text, and there is my commentary at the bottom of this holy book. ”
"Thank you very much, Reverend!" The believer excitedly took the holy book in the pastor's hand, this holy book was annotated by the pastor himself, and its value was immeasurable for the believer, "May our God shine on your pastor!" ”
"Let the glory of my God shine upon the Lamb of your Lord!" The priest placed his right hand on the top of the believer's head to give a blessing, and a faint magic spell came out of his hand and entered the believer's body.
The believer clearly felt the slightest strangeness, which made him warm and very comfortable.
At this time, the two people who came from the side saw this scene and muttered to each other, "You see that stupid boy has been bewitched by the magic stick that has been coming to us for a few weeks. ”
"I really don't know how that kid fell in love with that ethereal god in his heart?" The other sighed.
"It's unbelievable!"
The pastor, of course, heard these words, and he began to blush, for the only believer he had gotten after a few weeks of success was the man in front of him. But now he didn't have time for any of this, and the news in the letter told him to hurry back to the Holy Mountain for a holy burial.
The priest quickly changed his outfit, leaving his only developing believer to summon a car and quickly rush to the holy mountain.
