Chapter 246: Holy Salvation Activities
The gods sent down the holy light to save the world, so it is called "holy salvation".
It is rumored that in ancient times, in the Western European world, humans, demons, ghosts, elves and other races were all in the same plane world, and the human race was the weakest among all races.
Therefore, all the time, it has been excluded by foreign races, encircled and suppressed, as food.
Humans have heard that the gods of heaven have infinite wisdom and boundless power, and everything is under their control.
Therefore, human beings worship the gods with a devout heart, hoping that the gods will come out of their help and save the world.
Later, because of demons and other evil creatures of the dark world, they continued to ravage the earth, causing continuous disasters in the human world, heavy snowfalls, and floods. The earth has become a lake and a sea, and life is devastated.
Far above heaven, the gods felt the sincere prayers of mankind and felt compassion, so they sent down holy light to destroy the dark creatures of the world, and sent down scriptures from heaven for mankind to read and study.
Among the creatures of the dark world, those with great abilities have fled one after another, escaped the catastrophe, and never dared to go out of the world at will.
In the opening chapter of the texts of the Otherworldly Religion, the first article records this mythological story.
The form of each religion will leave a corresponding scripture text, whether it is right or wrong, each has its own words, and does not have much research significance.
However, the reason why people in the world are confused is that they do not understand God's will, and only by joining the church and offering their souls to the gods wholeheartedly can they receive God's favor and go to heaven after death.
Regardless of whether these legends are meaningful or not, for Ah Huan and many believers, what they hope with all their hearts is to be able to become the lucky one chosen by the gods.
On the day of the Holy Salvation Event, all the believers and members of the otherworldly religion in Ningcheng came to the church.
Because of the large number of people, nearly a thousand, the faithful in the church removed their seats, swept the floor, respectfully sat on the ground, and waited only for the priests to appear.
As soon as Li Changsheng came to the church, he saw that Ah Huan had arrived early.
As soon as he saw Li Changsheng, Ah Huan hurriedly ran forward and said with a grin: "Brother, let's choose a place to sit in front of us, so that the priests can see us, maybe ...... In this holy salvation activity, we have become the lucky ones. ”
Li Changsheng nodded, and did not refuse.
It's also a good idea to sit close so you can see better.
The two of them squeezed into the crowded crowd, and finally got to the front row, just under the high platform, Ah Huan was so happy that he hurriedly pulled Li Changsheng to sit down.
Li Changsheng smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged.
Ah Huan was different, his knees were clasped and he sat on his knees. When you look at the way they sit, you know that they are pious, and if the priest sees it, he must be glad to see it.
"Huh...... Brother Li, why are you? ”
A woman's voice came.
Li Changsheng turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Wan'er.
There were a lot of people just now, and when I sat down, I didn't look carefully, but I didn't expect to sit next to Zhao Wan'er.
I saw that Zhao Wan'er's face had a haggard look a little more, which seemed to be more serious than when Li Changsheng first saw her, although the whole person was smiling and laughing, but it could be seen that he was not very happy in his heart.
When he took the oath yesterday, Li Changsheng saw Zhao Wan'er, but it was too far away, so he didn't have a chance to say hello, but he didn't expect to sit together unintentionally today.
Li Changsheng frowned slightly, and said, "Miss Zhao, looking at your spirit, isn't it very good?" ”
Zhao Wan'er smiled faintly, shook her head, and said, "It's okay...... I haven't slept well lately. ”
"Oh." Li Changsheng nodded, thoughtful.
I didn't sleep very well, my spirit looked so haggard, and I came to participate in this holy salvation activity, it seems that the attraction of this holy salvation activity is really not small.
In this way, Ah Huan sat on Li Changsheng's right, and Zhao Wan'er sat on Li Changsheng's left.
The three of them sat right on the high platform.
After a while, there was a long chant of "hum" in the church, and the lights seemed to be slightly dimmed.
The believers immediately shuddered and stopped talking.
The whole church was silent for a moment.
I saw that from the back room of the church, the red-robed high priest slowly walked out, behind him were two white-robed priests, and then behind him, three black-robed priests.
When the red-robed high priest appeared, many people were taken aback.
It's a woman, and it's a young and beautiful woman, her facial features are like clear water, her eyes are shining with spring waves, her face is serious, but it makes people feel intimate at first sight.
Most of the women in ordinary religions are as cold as ice, like heavenly maidens, which makes people admire but dare not approach, but this red-robed high priest seems to be the girl next door, which makes people feel a little happy.
At a glance, this red-robed high priest made people feel a sense of distance, even Li Changsheng couldn't help but be a little curious.
Many believers participated in this event for the first time, and had never seen the red-robed high priest before.
Ah Huan is a "veteran" believer and has participated in it three times.
I saw him smiling, the pockmarks on his face were blooming, and he was full of spring.
Zhao Wan'er, who was beside Li Changsheng, seemed to be in a shocked spirit, and a little expectation flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting and not easy for people to notice.
"The Spirit of God has mercy on the afflictions of the world, and sends down the light to save the world...... Today...... The God of Judgment lends my hand to give hope to the fortunate ......"
After the red-robed high priest stood still, he chanted aloud, his face showing great reverence.
His eyes were looking ahead, and there was a glint in them, as if he were seeing a god.
The believers prayed devoutly, and at this moment, they all hoped that they would be the lucky ones chosen by the God of Judgment.
"Holy water, please...... Let the people of the gods feel the rain and dew from the gods and be grateful for the blessings of the gods......"
As he spoke, he saw a black-robed priest holding a bottle of holy water in his hand and walking out slowly.
He held a swan's feather in one hand, and with the feather, he stained it with holy water, and then, walking slowly through the crowd, gently swayed the holy water.
This holy water, taken from the morning branches and leaves, stained with dew, is, to put it bluntly, rootless water.
Many people think that rootless water is the rain in the sky, but in fact, the real rootless water is the dew on the branches and leaves after a night of precipitation.
Rootless water needs to be carried over with a vessel made of porcelain to ensure its holiness, and then the priest recites the language of God and asks God for blessings. Then, with the holy swan feathers, stained with rootless water, sprinkled on the world, so that the world's soul can be purified and the soul can be sublimated.
When the black-robed priest walked past Li Changsheng's side, the holy water stained on the feathers spilled, and a few drops fell on Li Changsheng's body.
I only felt that this holy water had a cold coolness, as if it had a trace of magical power, and it actually drilled into my bones.
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly frowned.
