After entering the city of Cologne, the car stopped in a parking lot on the west bank of the Rhine.

The tour guide Xiao Luo glanced at his watch and said to the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe in an obvious and urging tone:

"Dear friends, we only have one day of travel in Germany. In order to seize the time, please visit Cologne Cathedral now. After visiting the cathedral, go shopping in 'Walker's Paradise'. Then arrange dinner. ”

"Oh, Xiao Luo, why are you so nervous? Isn't there another day tomorrow? ”

Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, slept all the way in the car just now, and it seemed that he had recovered his spirits, so he asked the tour guide loudly again.

"Tonight, we are staying in Cologne; Tomorrow morning, we will go to Munich. In Munich, we will visit the headquarters of BMW AG in Germany, visit the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, where Hitler organized the riots, and visit the Olympic Platz. Tomorrow afternoon, we will leave Munich and head to Vienna, the capital of Austria. The two-day itinerary is very full! ”

"Oh, in that case, let's hurry up."

After listening to the introduction of the tour guide Xiao Luo, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, got up from his seat.

Immediately after, the other members of the Golden Autumn Regiment also got up.

After getting off the bus, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment accidentally looked up and saw the towering St. Peter's Cathedral!

In an instant, everyone's spirits were uplifted, and the tiredness of the journey just now immediately disappeared.

The members of the Golden Autumn Group excitedly followed the tour guide Xiao Luo, and after walking for five or six minutes, they soon arrived at the entrance of St. Peter's Cathedral.

At the entrance of the cathedral, there are both tourists coming out from the inside and tourists entering from the outside.

The entire church door was crowded and bustling;

But it's orderly, hectic and not chaotic.

At first, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment talked and laughed all the way, and followed the guide to the church.

But as soon as they stepped into the church, they were immediately affected by the quiet, dark atmosphere of the church, and naturally suppressed their voices; A lot of people simply don't speak.

Liping, like the other members of the Golden Autumn Troupe, was enthusiastically holding Mengdu's arm before entering the church, talking and laughing all the way.

As soon as I entered the cathedral, I was immediately infected by the dark and quiet atmosphere of the church, and immediately stopped talking.

Liping saw that on the four walls of the main hall of the church, there were half-meter-high candlesticks built under all the walls.

Above the menorah, round candles the size of matchboxes burned everywhere;

And, above these candlesticks, on the walls about five meters high, every three meters or so, there is an ancient oil lamp that is burning;

At the same time, Liping saw that on each side of the entrance gate, there were twenty or thirty devout female believers.

The devotees, all dressed in black Christian robes, are lighting candles for devotees or tourists from all over the world.

Believers and tourists who have been lit candles hold the candles that have begun to burn in their hands, and one by one, with a pious mood, solemnly walk to the statue of the god by the wall of the main hall, and then worship the burning candle in the sandalwood under the statue with respect.

The holy countenance, the footsteps, and the supreme admiration of the believers make all those who enter the church awe!

Under the influence of such a scene and atmosphere, Liping unconsciously pushed away Mengdu's arm; Two bright eyes, clockwise, began to look from the doorway towards the center of the hall.

Liping discovers that there are three huge halls in this * Christian cathedral.

In the center of the nave, there is an altar dedicated to a giant cross.

Around each side of the altar there is a large cloister; In the cloister, there are three side halls each.

At the front of the main hall facing the altar, more than 100 seats are arranged on both sides.

These chairs are for believers to sit on and pray.

At this time, more than 100 chairs were filled with Christians from all over the world.

Some of the congregants put their hands together and prayed silently with their eyes closed;

Some of them held Bibles in their hands and were chanting softly with their hearts.

As Liping passed by the side of these devout Christians, she unconsciously felt a high respect for the cross of Christ.

She stood silently beside the chanting believers for a moment. Then, slowly turning his eyes away from the Christians, he began to look towards the roof of the basilica with the layout of the altar.

At this time, Liping discovered that the shape of the church's main hall gradually shrank from the bottom to the top, until it shrank to a height of more than 150 meters!

At that height, visible to the eye is a circular roof.

The round roof is covered with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple colored glass, which softly reveals the light beams from the sky from the top, so that the believers in the main hall have a kind of incomparable reverence for the gods of heaven.

Oh, this Basilica of Christ, with its magnificent conception and exquisite architecture, makes all those who enter the temple feel a sense of awe!

"Mengdu, let's go and worship candles for the idol, shall we?"

After visiting all the halls of the cathedral, Liping saw that several members of the Jinqiu group went to the counter next to the gate, bought candles, and then asked the female believers on both sides of the gate to light them and respectfully worship in front of the statue.

So, she nudged Mengdu lightly and suggested that he join her in offering candles to the idol in the main hall.

"I want to respect you, I'm not religious anyway."

Still not visiting the magnificent architecture of the cathedral in the dream capital, did not heed his wife's advice and made his attitude clear.

"Well, you wait for me here."

Liping heard the dream answer, and knew that it was useless to say more, so she walked quickly to the sales counter at the entrance of the church, and saw that the price list on the counter clearly stated the price of two euros for a candle.

She immediately pulled out two two-euro coins and bought a candle for herself and her husband.

Then, Liping reverently walked to the counter, and after asking the female believer in a black robe to light it, she slowly walked to the left wall of the main hall with both hands in an extremely solemn and pious attitude, and respectfully presented it to the wax platform under a statue of the god. He also prayed silently, praying that God would bless himself and her husband, and bless the happiness and safety of the Wang and Zhang families, and all the best!

After the candle was served, Liping saw that her husband was still visiting the main hall, so she walked quickly to his side, took his wrist, and told Mengdu to walk out of St. Peter's Cathedral with her.

Out of the cathedral, Liping and Mengdu found that the members of the Golden Autumn Group had followed the tour guide to the big platform in front of the church.

Although the hour hand is past six o'clock, groups of carefree local teenagers can still be seen on the large platform of the church, rollerblading in circles on the wide platform, and bursts of cheerful laughter can be heard from time to time.

In the corner of the platform, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe saw several "road painters", squatting on the ground one by one, copying the famous paintings of famous artists with colored brushes, with a leisurely expression;

On the other corner of the platform, there are also seven or eight music lovers, holding violins, saxophones, or tubas and trumpets, playing beautiful symphonies for free for visitors.

Coming to such a peaceful, tranquil, elegant and harmonious environment will really make people sigh:

It turns out that life and life can be so beautiful, so happy, and so carefree!

However, just as the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe were about to enjoy this beauty, happiness and tranquility to the fullest, there suddenly appeared an episode that was extremely discordant with the environment just now, and extremely annoying and extremely hateful!

What's going on?

Just when people were immersed in a peaceful, peaceful, and elegant atmosphere, next to a few "road painters" squatting on the ground to paint, suddenly three or four Chinese unfurled banners with the logo of "Fa * Gong."

Then, two of those people came to the Golden Autumn Regiment with leaflets, and one of them said to the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe:

"Guys, are you from Chinese mainland? We are Fa Gong followers who have been persecuted by the domestic government, and now we cannot go back, so we can only live in exile. I hope you will stop being deceived by the government and don't believe in their social system. Sooner or later, you too will be persecuted, and you will have no country to return to! Come, please see how the domestic government persecuts Fa Gong. ”

While the two of them were talking in detail, they stuffed the leaflets in their hands into the hands of the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe.

"Go, go, go! What kind of law * * law * law * * work, is it not enough for you to be trick-making in China? Why did you go to a foreign country to make trouble? Why are you still promoting your bullshit 'Fa * Gong'!? Get out as far as you want! ”

No one expected that at this moment, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, strode up to a Fa*gong believer who was stuffing leaflets into Liping and Mengdu's hands, grabbed the leaflet he had just stuffed into Liping's hands, tore it off three times and twice, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"You——? Don't be too obsessed with the government! ”

The 'Fa*Gong' believer who was blocked by the Shandong Han was stunned for a few seconds before he raised the leaflet in his hand and said to Mr. Liu stupidly:

"Soon, you will regret your foolishness and ignorance!"

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about here? Go in the cold! ”

Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, stretched out his hand and wanted to push away the "Fa * Gong" believer who still didn't want to leave.

"Good, good!"

At this moment, Master Ji of the Golden Autumn Regiment came over again.

Master Ji habitually clasped his hands together, stood between Mr. Liu and the "Fa*Gong" believer, and said unhurriedly:

"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you; Do not do unto others what you would have done to yourself. Fish have the way of life, and cats have the way of life. In a foreign country, you don't have to work hard. Amitabha Buddha ——! ”

After Master Ji finished speaking, he turned to the west sky and made a deep bow.

"Friends of the Golden Autumn Troupe, we got on the bus. Please come with me! ”

At this time, the tour guide Xiao Luo was not involved in the unexpected conflict that had just occurred.

As if she hadn't seen anything, she raised the pennant in her hand high, waved it a few times at the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment who were surrounding her, and then walked towards the steps to the south of the platform.

So, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe followed the tour guide Xiao Luo and left those believers in "Fa * Gong".

"Master Ji, what is 'Fa * Gong'?"

On the way to the parking lot, Liping asked Master Ji curiously.

"Oh, that was more than a decade ago."

Without waiting for Master Ji to answer, Mr. Liu, a big man from Shandong who was walking behind Liping and Master Ji, walked two steps quickly to catch up and said:

"You were young. More than 10 years ago, there was a person named Li Zhizhi who engaged in a so-called 'Fa * Gong' in China, saying nonsense that if a person cultivates to a certain level, he can go to the next level, he can redeem the sins of his previous life, and he can not go to hell. They instigated some people who did not know the truth to go to work all day long, but inexplicably practiced their 'Fa*gong', causing many people to go mad and lose their minds.

Not only that, but they also organized some 'Fa*gong' elements who went crazy to go to the government to make trouble, to meditate, and to go to the square*! At that time, the 'Fa * Gong' really killed many innocent people!

At that time, in my business, there were also a few 'Fa*gong' believers who were bewitched by them, and they didn't work well all day long, which delayed a lot of my business! Now, when I see these people, I feel sick like I've eaten a fly! Hum! ”

Mr. Liu said that, and raised his fist angrily and waved it twice into the air.

"When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and when the truth is false, it is difficult to be true; There is only one criterion for judging the rights and wrongs of the exercises in the world, that is, what are the benefits and disadvantages of the exercises to society? Those who benefit are also true exercises; Conspiracy, pseudo-exercises! ”

After Mr. Liu introduced the "Fa * Gong" to Liping, Master Ji said a word on the judgment of "Fa * Gong".

"Yes, Master Ji, you are absolutely right! I really can't imagine that more than ten years have passed, and these 'Fa*gong' elements who have fled abroad are still ghostly! ”

Shandong Dahan seemed to be still angry and said indignantly.

"Actually, no one listens to their propaganda anymore."

At this time, after listening to Mr. Liu's words, the tour guide Xiao Luo also took the initiative to interject and say:

"As long as you ignore that kind of propaganda about them, they will be gone. Let's go, now, we're going to hurry to 'Walker Paradise'." It is closed to cars, so please walk with me. ”

"Okay, let's go shopping in Walker Paradise!"

Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, probably felt that the annoyance in his heart was almost vented, so he responded loudly to the tour guide's arrangement and walked behind Xiao Luo towards Hoye Street.
