Kou Ko took Zhuo Yang's arm, and the two of them followed behind her parents and walked together towards the church on the edge of the small square. They walked and whispered, but Uncle Frank and Aunt Matilda were a little disappointed, because before today, Coco was huddled between the two of them, holding her father and mother affectionately on the left and right. But from today onwards, my daughter has someone who prefers to hold her.

Tomorrow is Christmas and tonight is Christmas Eve. According to Catholic and Vaduz traditions, at dusk before Christmas Eve, people go to church for Christmas Mass. There are about 5,000 permanent residents of Vaduz, who live along the river valley, and the number of people who come to Mass each year is about 1,000, which is quite a high proportion in terms of population base.

St. Florin's Cathedral is the only church in Vaduz, the capital and largest city of Liechtenstein. Therefore, St. Florin's Cathedral is the national church of the Principality of Liechtenstein, and its appearance resembles the Kremlin, which has been reduced many times over.

Near the square, there were more people on the road, all of whom were residents of Vaduz who had come to attend Mass. There are many stories in the small town, everyone here knows each other, Uncle Frank and his wife constantly greet people on the road, and Coco also introduces Zhuo Yang to her neighbors in the small town.

Zhuo Yang's face is so well-known that the residents of Vaduz know him. I was a little surprised to see him and the Kou family together, but everyone is polite and status-oriented, and they don't have the hobby of the vegetable market, at least on the surface. Besides, if you can be intimate and close hand in hand with Koukou, do you still need to ask about the relationship?

As a result, Zhuo Yang was constantly being swept away by different gazes, some surprised but gentle, some surprised and puzzled, some polite but unfamiliar, and many young men, their eyes indifferent with a slight hostility and resentment.

Zhuo Yang was very familiar with this kind of gaze language, and when he went to the Keyman School of Business to look for Koukou, those boys were all like this, and he was already no longer surprised. Zhuo Yang felt very proud and proud that he could become the public enemy of the young man, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

Coco is obviously a national treasure favored by the whole people of Vaduz, and everyone greets her with affection, and then piggybacks on Zhuo Yang by the way. Along the way, his neck was a little stiff because he kept nodding in greeting, and he simply tucked the glove of his right hand into his pocket in order to shake hands.

When they came to the square, everyone gathered at the door of the church and waited, and the Kou family stood at the front of the crowd. Soon, Hans Adam II, Grand Duke of Liechtenstein, and a number of other members of the royal family rushed in, first to greet Koko's father.

Hans Adam II is in his sixties and is a thin, scholarly head of state. Under his leadership, the small country of Liechtenstein has always been neither humble nor arrogant to the outside world, and has not participated in the rights and wrongs of the world, and has only taken the road of prosperity. Liechtenstein's high-tech industry and financial industry have grown from scratch to become a climate under his layout, and now they have become a new economic growth point and a new pillar of the country's economy.

Hans Adam II had apparently received a report from the Coco family and learned of Zhuo Yang's arrival, so he was not the slightest surprised to see Zhuo Yang.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Prince."

Hans Adam II's title is Archduke of Liechtenstein, but because he is the head of state, it is natural to be called 'prince' on official occasions, just like Prince Albert II of Monaco. The Grand Duke is the Prince, and if Uncle Frank is called 'Prince', Coco's father can't afford it.

"Welcome to Vaduz, Mr. Zhuo Yang, and welcome to the ceremony."

"It is a great honor, thank you for your kindness."

Hans Adam II and Coco's father walked side by side into the church, followed by the others. Zhuo Yang was not a believer, and he was not eligible to attend Mass without being baptized, but he could attend the ceremony as a guest of honor. According to the prior arrangement, after entering the church, Zhuo Yang came to the viewing area next to him in an orderly manner and sat down quietly. The family was in the center of the front row, along with members of the royal family.

Everything was in order, the bishops, priests, monks, and choirs were all in place, and a dozen steps were in order. The believers sang, repented, prayed and thanksgiving, and Zhuo Yang felt the solemn and sacred atmosphere of the Mass. He is an atheist, but respects religions and religious believers, and is curious about their rituals.

Zhuo Yang knew that the fact that he was not a religious would cause some obstacles for him and Kou Kokou to marry in the future, but he felt that it was not a problem at all.

Is it good for me to be religious? You don't die when you're a believer. I will kowtow as much as I want, and I will come when I open my mouth to chant and sing poetry. As long as I can be with Coco, nothing matters. Don't talk about religion, you can believe in anything, Coco is the biggest, bigger than the sky.

As for Lao Tzu's true belief or false faith, guess? I don't care if it's not a matter of principle, anyway, it's my faith.

China has a long history, 5,000 years of civilization is a long way, but there has never been a monotheistic religion that dominates the world, nor has there been a mainstream regime, nor can any religion dominate the rivers and lakes, religion has always been just a tool thrown back and forth by rulers, this phenomenon is unique among the world's major civilizations.

Many people have analyzed the reasons and have different opinions, but Zhuo Yang feels that only his own hair Xiaoyang is the most reasonable and reliable.

The ocean said: It's all to blame Lao Tzu, the Lao Tzu who rode the green ox and purple qi east to write the Tao Te Ching.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought were already contending, and the cultural and philosophical ideas on the land of China flourished unprecedentedly. The system of myths and immortals has been constructed, and the theoretical accumulation is sufficient. At this time, people were generally frightened and bored with centuries of war, and were very eager for a way to sustenance and escape from reality. All the elements have been gathered, and the soil for the production of religion is fertile enough. But at this moment, Lao Tzu appeared.

Lao Tzu said: The Tao is the greatest, and everything is not as great as the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is supreme.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor is incomparably small in front of the Heavenly Dao, and no immortal can be compared with the Dao. If you want to believe us, you will believe in the biggest thing, so the Chinese believe in the way of heaven. In this case, how can a religion that worships a single god survive? No matter what emperor you are, no matter what the lord is, no matter how big you are, you can't be as big as the way of heaven, so what can you do?

Zhuo Yang thought deeply of this set of rhetoric about the ocean.

.

She was very attentive during the Mass, especially during the confessional and chanting of the Lord's mercy and thanksgiving. Zhuo Yang looked at the back of Coco, under the gaze of Jesus Christ, she was the Son of God, the Holy Daughter of Heaven.

A halo of holiness enveloped Coco, and the halo was full of gospel and love.

When the mass was over, Kou looked back at Zhuo Yang and smiled at him. Coco's eyes were as loving as ever, but they were more thorough and relieved.
