Chapter 358: Novelty in the Church
The lobby of the more than ten floors is only one floor, which is the most ordinary and public-facing place in the whole church, and the decoration of the ceiling is only vague and vague, so it gives people a feeling of great grandeur and grandeur, and people have a very small feeling when they walk in.
Shock!
There were a lot of people around, and they all went to the inner door. Mo Xiaoke followed behind them, walked into the door even inner, and there was a hole in the sky, a huge podium stood on the front of the high platform, and there was a statue of a goddess on the podium, about half the height of the entire hall, made of blue and white jade, with the meaning of the church.
As a modern intellectual youth, of course Mo Xiaoke does not believe in religion, so at this time, she is more interested in the lively existence. The people around him were very religious, one by one with their hands pressed on their chests, their heads bowed, silently walked to the bottom of the pulpit, and prayed and bowed.
Mo Xiaoke asked, "This is the God that the church respects?" “
"No," Gu Xisheng said, "it's just a spiritual symbol, they think that the world comes from women, and this female statue is the culmination, they don't worship a specific god, but the whole world!" “
"Oh!" Mo Xiaoke didn't seem to understand, "It's really a profound doctrine!" “
Gu Xisheng raised his lips and smiled, pointed to a door on the right and said, "Let's go there, the church is very big, this is just a lobby for receiving believers, and there are many areas in the back." “
Seeing that he was so familiar with this place, Mo Xiaoke asked, "Are you really not religious?" “
"I don't believe it!" Gu Xisheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, "But I believe that there are gods in this world that we don't know. “
Mo Xiaoke's eyes opened smartly, "What god do you believe in?" “
"Look at the world, everything is just right, isn't it the work of God?" Gu Xisheng smiled.
Mo Xiaoke stared at him, "Gu Xisheng, you are really an unfathomable person!" ”
There is always a feeling of indifference in his body, saying these profound words, it seems to be a joke, but there is a convincing feeling, so people can't figure out whether he is really thinking in his heart.
Gu Xisheng smiled again, and in front of him, two people in robes stopped them.
"It's a place to have dinner with Lingyun, do you two have a prayer sticker?"
Mo Xiaoke couldn't understand his words, Gu Xisheng had already taken out a simple ring from the inner lining of his coat.
"We don't have a prayer sticker, but I think your priest will be willing to see us." Gu Xisheng smiled.
The texture of the ring looked very similar to the statue of the goddess in the lobby just now, with a long dragon carved around the entire ring body.
The guard took one look, bowed to them very respectfully, and said, "Guests of the church, welcome, food is prepared inside, welcome to dinner with Lingyun." ”
Walking past the guards, Gu Xisheng put the ring away, and Mo Xiaoke asked, "What is Lingyun?" ”
"The Church believes that the universe is full of something called spiritual rhyme, which can keep the Holy Spirit clear-headed, tranquil of heart, and can prolong people's lives, and is considered to be a gift from God."
"God? Is it God? ”
"One meaning," Gu Xisheng said, "By the way, the red cloud bracelet last time, do you remember?" “
"Remember," Mo Xiaoke nodded, "That's made of the meteorite of the Fortune Star, right?" How could something so unique be forgotten? "Laughs.
Gu Xisheng said, "The church also has red marble, and I have also communicated with the Gu family in this regard. “
Mo Xiaoke instantly understood, "That's why you have the ring just now, right?" The guards all have a special respect for us when they see this ring, and it means something special in this church, right? “
"Well, it's special," Gu Xisheng nodded, and said, "With it, you can enter and exit the area below the A level of the church, and you can also discuss doctrine with the bishop." “
"What is an A-class?"
Mo Xiaoke's eyes were bright, full of curiosity. She didn't know anything about this church, she was so curious that one or two things were words she didn't understand.
Gu Xisheng patiently explained, "The church's teaching centers around the world cover a very large area, and there are many different areas, corresponding to different access levels, such as the lobby that has just entered, which is the D level, which means that everyone can enter and exit at will, even if it is a beggar or bully in the city, as long as they believe in God, believe in the church, and pray for inner peace, they can still come in without any hindrance." “
Gu Xisheng pointed not far ahead, "Do you see the courtyard over there?" It is the area where the apostles and priests of this church are active, and believers who have not obtained a special pass are not allowed to enter, and the level is B. “
Mo Xiaoke was pleasantly surprised: "Then you can come and go there at will?" ”
Gu Xisheng smiled and nodded, but did not speak. Mo Xiaoke said, "That's really amazing, the bamboo forest over there is very beautiful!" ”
"But I won't go to that kind of place, and they won't want to be bothered by me, go to the dining hall, the prayer meal in the church is still good!"
The narrow slate tables stretched from the front of the door to the windowsill of the kitchen, and the people of the church were dressed in long robes, completely different from those of the ordinary believers, and they were immediately recognizable, and they were busy preparing the dishes from the front of the windowsill to the table, and there were four long tables from front to back, and many people were already seated.
"Toast to our Almighty Lord!" A priest stands in the aisle in the center of two stone tables and raises his glass.
Gu Xisheng took Mo Xiaoke to find a place to sit down, and as soon as they sat down, an apostle brought them dishes and wine glasses. The glass was filled with red wine, and half a glass looked, Mo Xiaoke learned from the people around him and raised the wine glass high.
"Respectfully, Lord Almighty!"
The people in the dining hall drank all the wine together, and Mo Xiaoke saw the fasting plate in front of him, which contained two whole wheat breads, a cup of hot milk, a spoonful of chili sauce, and a spoonful of mustard-like food that could not be named, which was all of the entire fasting meal.
"Whole wheat bread, delicious!" Mo Xiaoke still made an evaluation.
Gu Xisheng smiled and said, "There are also chicken legs, which are raised by the church itself." “
"Huh?" This is completely different from the "fasting meal" she imagined.
Gu Xisheng said, "The chicken raised by the church really tastes very good, maybe it is really taken care of by the gods, the chicken is particularly delicious, according to the church, it is full of spiritual charm." “
"So what the hell is Lingyun?" Mo Xiaoke took a sip of milk, "It's too mysterious!" ”
Gu Xisheng also took a sip of milk, carelessly, "Who knows?" ”
The robed apostles went back and forth here, and Mo Xiaoke savored it, and I have to say that the ingredients here are really much better than outside. Suddenly, a robe crossed her cheek, and Mo Xiaoke looked back to see that it was a woman with curly hair, smiling at her.
Mo Xiaoke stood up and pointed at her face, "Kakina?" ”
