Having lived in Jiangning for decades, Duan Tiande felt that the Qinhuai River was beautiful for the first time. This feeling made him feel that something was wrong, but staring at the sparkling Qinhuai River, Duan Tiande found that he was right. The water in the 200-meter-wide channel is clear and the water level is quite high. It was no longer the temperature of the 40-meter-wide Qinhuai River, which mixed with the smell of thick earth and decay, but the refreshing smell of the wide surface of the lake.

In addition to these, new bridges stand tall on the river. Duan Tiande walked across these bridges like the people of Jiangning City, and the wide bridge deck could easily pass even heavy ox carts. No matter how people run or jump on it, the bridge doesn't move. Recalling the shock when he walked across the bridge, Duan Tiande felt a sadness in his heart.

This year, the Duan family is almost separating. Those tenants ran a lot more, and Duan Tiande hoped that they would all die on the road to Henan, or die of starvation in Henan. After these unconscionable tenants dragged their families away, the landlords suffered a heavy blow. Even their lands had to be abandoned. Some people try to use the seed-throwing model, but they encounter the problem that the land is simply not cultivated by manpower. The seeds scattered on the ground are eaten by birds or voles, and few crops can grow.

In order to avoid fines, the landlords sold the land again. Seeing that the family was completely unable to cope with the situation, the Duan family had to face the end of the separation.

Maybe it was because his heart had hurt too many times, Duan Tiande felt that he didn't feel particularly painful at this time, and even felt a hint of relief. If the Duan family dissolves as a family, Duan Tiande will probably be able to sell all the land under his name, and the whole family will move to Jiangning City to live an easier life.

With the Duan family's financial resources, it was easy to live in Jiangning City. If you deposit the money in the imperial court's bank, you will have interest to pay. More than 3,000 acres of land can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. For Duan Tiande's family, this money is enough for the family to live a good life. It can even make everyone in the family open some shops.

"Brother Duan. I'm coming. A shout woke Duan Tiande from his contemplation. He turned his head and saw that it was Lu Yuan, who had made an appointment with the beautiful scenery, who came to visit.

Duan Tiande's family brought two Mazha, and the two sat down on the Maza. After letting go of the cigarette, Duan Tiande asked, "How is your home?" ”

"What's the good, everyone in the family is clamoring to split up." Lu Yuanwai sighed.

Duan Tiande didn't speak, and when he heard that the other families were just as miserable, he felt that it was not bad in his heart. At least it shows that Duan Tiande is not the only patriarch who is not doing well.

"I heard that Li Yuanwai believed in Mingjiao." Lu Yuanwai said in a low voice: "Now Li Yuanwai will start chanting as long as he has time, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle." ”

"Oh." Duan Tiande replied casually, he didn't know the origin of Mingjiao, so naturally he didn't know what this decisive moment meant.

Mingjiao is a religion established by the Persian Manimanes in the third century by combining Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Buddhism from ancient Persia. Its doctrine is based on the Zoroastrian dualism of good and evil, which summarizes all phenomena into good and evil, good is light, evil is darkness, and light will triumph over darkness. Since the beginning of time, light and darkness have intersected, and the demons have been in the dark world, and the chaos is endless, so that the world today is still confused with good and evil, so people should strive to be good in order to create a bright world. This religion is also known as Mingjiao.

This dualistic view has led to the worldview of the Ming religion, which has believed that the present is a dark world, and that the decisive moment between light and darkness is approaching. So since the Song Dynasty, the Ming religion has often rebelled.

Looking at the beautiful river, Duan Tiande said: "I heard that Qian Yuan believed in Jingjiao. I also look forward to what the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are coming every day. It seems to be the same as the White Lotus Sect. ”

"I don't know. Maybe the same. Lu Yuanwai replied with a sad face.

If Qian Wai, who was doing the chanting, heard his friend say this, he would have objected immediately. In the eyes of Nestorians, Nestorianism, which originated in Jerusalem, and Mingjiao, which originated in Persia, were not the same thing at all. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are much more powerful than the bullshit Dark Devil.

The Ming religion believes that it is the devil who destroys the light, and the cross religion believes that it is not the devil that destroys the world, nor is it evil. It was God who created the world, and the destruction of the world is naturally such a powerful existence as God.

The Nestorian priest stood in front of a rather tattered cross flag, holding a thick old book and reading:

At the end of the world, the Lamb will break the seven seals of the scroll and summon knights on white, red, black, and green horses to bring war, famine, pestilence, and death to humanity for the final judgment, when the heavens and the earth will be out of balance, the sun and the moon will change color, and then the world will be destroyed.

And it came to pass, when I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, that I heard a voice of one of the four living creatures, with a voice like thunder, saying, Come.

And I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and he was on it, and he had a bow. and a crown was given to him. And he came out, and he was victorious, and he was victorious.

And when the second seal was opened, I heard the second living creature say, Come.

And another horse came out, and it was red. The authority was given to him who rode on horseback, that he might take peace from the earth, and that men might kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.

And it came to pass, when the third seal was opened, that I heard the third living creature say, Come.

So I looked, and behold, there was a black horse. The hand on the horse holds the scale. And I heard a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, "A penny for a measure of wheat, and a penny for three measures of barley." Oil and wine should not be wasted.

And when the fourth seal was opened, I heard the fourth living creature say, Come.

So I looked, and behold, there was a miserable green horse. and he that sits on a horse is called Death. Hell followed him.

Power was given to them to kill a quarter of the earth with the sword, with famine, with pestilence, with wild beasts.

……

Listening to such a detailed description, Qian Yuanwai and other believers followed the priest and chanted the scriptures of the Cross religion one by one. The description of the destruction of the world made Qian Yuanwai's hairs stand on end, and a burst of joy filled his heart.

Destroy, this dark and cruel world. Qian Yuanwai prayed in his heart, God in heaven, will destroy this unrighteous country on earth, and let the four knights destroy the perverse Zhao Jiaren and his men first.

Finish the scriptures. In a well-trained voice, the priest said: "Fellow Catholics, it is fate that this world will be destroyed by God. It is also the time for us to be saved. If this world lasts forever, then those who do wrongdoing will never be truly punished. So the world must be destroyed. But God is just and merciful. The end of the world is not the end, but on Judgment Day, all living and dead will be judged by God. Some people go to heaven, some people go to hell. And God will create a heaven that belongs to us believers, and all believers will enjoy eternal peace and tranquility in it......"

After hearing this, Qian felt joy in his heart, as if all his troubles had subsided temporarily. At this time, someone asked: "When the Four Horsemen destroyed the world, were a quarter of the people killed now powerful?" ”

"Of course! Of course! They don't believe in God, and they don't allow anyone else to believe in God. They will definitely be killed. The priest exclaimed. After expressing his opinion, the priest again sang a verse.

"The wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah was great, and I heard of it. Shall I now go down and see what they do, as the voice that reaches my ears? If not, I will know. ”…… Abraham approached and said, "Will you destroy both good and evil?" If there were fifty righteous men in that city, would you destroy that place? Do you not forgive the fifty righteous men in the city? It is not your work to kill the righteous with the wicked, and to treat the righteous as the wicked. Will not the Lord of the earth judge justice? And the Lord said, If I find fifty righteous men in the city of Sodom, I will spare all the people of that place for their sake. Abraham said, "Though I am dust, I dare to speak to the Lord." If five of these fifty righteous men are short, will you destroy the whole city because of the five short? He said, "If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it." Then Abraham said to him, "What if you find forty there?" He said, "I will not do it for the sake of the forty." ”

……

This passage is very long and very repetitive. The priest finished the recitation, and after the recitation he said: "God is forgiving, do not be afraid, your family will be saved because of your piety......

After an afternoon of preaching, the lecture was discontinued. Qian Yuanwai and others sent some sesame oil money, and then left. Looking at the backs of those men, the priest put away the tables and chairs in the room, put away the hanging cross flags, changed his clothes, and swept the floor. Then he walked out.

Having made a few rounds to make sure that no one was following, the priest followed a path into a place. It turned out to be a garden with a pavilion and was very tasteful. By this time there was already a man sitting in the pavilion, and the priest went up to the man and sat down. Then he said: "Section Chief Sun, hello. As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket.

Section Chief Sun opened it and saw that there was a list and a brief introduction inside. Those who joined Nestorianism, as well as their tendencies, are clearly written above. After a little browsing, Section Chief Sun put away the envelope and stood up.

"Section Chief Sun, after we make meritorious contributions, can we open a temple to recruit people?" The priest hurriedly asked.

"It depends on your own performance." Section Chief Sun said flatly.

"We are Orthodox, and the Pope is appointed by the Emperor. Without an emperor, there would be no Jehovah. This is our credo. Please believe us no matter what. ”

Section Chief Sun dropped a sentence: "It depends on what you do." Then he walked away.
