Chapter 0478 The Lord Says
At dawn, the sun rises in the east, and the first golden rays of sunlight fall on Jiangcheng.
At this time, a huge convoy set off from the empty People's Square.
The convoy consisted of hundreds of hearses, each with the body of a victim on board.
The whole convoy is plain white, the Qiguang people walking in front are wearing white robes, holding a strange shape of cloth curtains, walking in the center of the victims' families wearing linen and filial piety, the old customs and the new style are harmoniously linked, which makes people feel that it is not abrupt.
The hearse was located behind the families of the victims and was driven by thousands of clergy from the Holy See, and behind the hearse were tens of thousands of devotees.
These believers gathered spontaneously, and the original members and dependents of the Holy See of Light were registered.
There are also ordinary citizens who have volunteered to join, and there is an absolute majority in numbers.
This massive procession swaggered through the city, crossing the entire old city, passing through the ruins of what was once a battlefield, and attracting thousands of empty alleys.
Millions of citizens put down everything they were doing and spontaneously stood on both sides of the streets at this time.
The procession walked silently, without a sound, and everywhere it went, there was no pedestrians or cars on the road except them.
"We were alive before!"
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out at the front of the line, without any amplification equipment, to make the sound appear in a large area, whispering in everyone's ears.
"It's nothing but the 'walking dead'!"
"We have no ideals, no goals, no beliefs, we can only fill our hearts with materialistic desires, and let money, fame and power determine all we have!"
"Year after year, day after day, generation after generation, and so on."
"We died before!"
"It's really dead, dust to dust, soil to earth, everything in life can't escape a cup of loess."
"It's different now!"
"We have faith, we have light, we have the Lord!"
"Now that we live, we will no longer be confused, no longer lonely, no longer weak, no longer afraid, we will have a beacon to guide us forward, we will have the sun that will dispel darkness, fear, depravity, sin, we will live under the light, and nothing evil, filthy, dirty, or depraved will be able to harm us."
"Because of the light, the world will be pure, and human nature will be sublimated, and the Lord says: All calamities, sins, evils, and depravity are caused by greed in human nature, and everyone should be vigilant and carry out a practice of self-sublimation and purification, and fight the most resolute against these evil factors in human nature!"
"The Lord says, 'To overcome the enemy, you must first overcome yourself!'"
"The Lord said, 'The practice of light is the purity of faith, believers, you must always remember that you must keep coming to me in this practice that lasts a lifetime."
"The Lord says, 'Whoever comes near will not be lonely in life, nor will be helpless in death, but will be far from all calamities, and will be happy. Your soul will finally reunite with me in the Kingdom of Light! ”
In the procession, a small figure dressed in linen and filial piety raised her tear-stained face and innocently asked her mother beside her: "Mom, Dad didn't die, but went to the kingdom of the goddess of light, right!?" ”
The young woman choked, tears slid down her face like raindrops, and she kept nodding her head and said, "Yes, yes, Dad didn't die, but he went to the kingdom of the goddess of light, and he didn't die." ”
The little girl laughed when she heard this, and under the morning sun, this smile was dazzling and beautiful, "That's good, Dad just went to the Kingdom of God, and our family can be reunited in the future, right!?" ”
The young woman covered her mouth, unable to speak, but nodding her head.
"That'...... Mom, we have to start practicing from now on, otherwise we won't be able to enter the Goddess's kingdom, and we won't be able to reunite with Dad. ”
"Well, that's good!" , A middle-aged woman in her forties next to her heard the words and praised, her face did not have much sadness after the loss of her relatives, but there was a very dazzling and unfamiliar thing, which made her refreshed and made her eyes light up surprisingly, "But little girl, this utilitarian idea is not right, faith should be unconditional, not exchange, but you are still young, it is already very good to have this heart and consciousness." ”
The little girl knew at a glance that she didn't like this person, and her delicate brows furrowed, as if she wanted to refute something.
The young woman was shocked, and hurriedly took the little girl into her arms, and smiled flatteringly at the middle-aged woman: "Sister, we must remember your teachings!" ”
The middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction, stretched out her hand and gently patted the top of the little girl's head, turned around, and went to "inspect" the families of the other victims.
"Nan, don't talk nonsense in the future!"
"Mom, Nan Nan didn't talk nonsense, what Nan Nan said was the truth."
"The truth can't be said easily!"
"But the Goddess Teaches Us ......"
“…… The truth must be spoken to the goddess, not to anyone else. ”
"Mom said to say it when she prayed, right?"
"Yes, promise Mom, the truth is only said to the goddess when praying, not to anyone else, okay!"
"Okay, I remember!"
This little interlude, in the midst of this vast theme that is in progress, is not even a beat or a murmur.
"The Lord said, 'The practice of light is the purity of faith, believers, you must always remember that you must keep coming to me in this practice that lasts a lifetime."
"The Lord says, 'Whoever comes near will not be lonely in life, nor will be helpless in death, but will be far from all calamities, and will be happy. Your soul will finally reunite with me in the Kingdom of Light! ”
What started out as a single voice has now become a chorus of all the contemplators and clergy, and has gradually become an eulogy that echoes over the city, all the way forward, all the way deeper, all the way to the heart's heart.
Along the way, there was a silent, silent and solemn figure.
If it had been, the murmur would have been heard long ago.
Modern cities, modern civilizations, modern men and women, precipitation and accumulation, too much insight and understanding, only one thing does not exist in people's hearts, that is, a certain awe in the underworld.
Especially in this country.
But now it's different.
Even if there are doubts, disapprovals, and disagreements, they will not say it again, they already know the awe, they already know the existence of the underworld, and if there are objections, they will "respect", and if there is rejection, they will subconsciously stand solemn.
Just like the young woman said to her daughter just now, the "truth" cannot be told casually, but should be told to the right people in the right place.
The procession to send the spirits was mighty, all the way in addition to the old city, to a cemetery in the northern suburbs that had been selected a long time ago.
The cemetery has been purified and guarded by pacifiers for a long time, serving as the city's first public cemetery, which is not officially opened until today.
On behalf of the Order of the Appeased, Li Fu accepted the deceased and for the first time performed the ritual and authority of this path in the public eye and in the eyes of all people.
"Mom, why isn't it the cemetery of the goddess of light, why!"
"Don't talk, don't talk!"
"But Mom, why is that!"
"Because your father is not a believer!"
"No, no, that's not what the goddess said, you're all wrong, I'm looking for a sacrifice, I'm going to ...... Whining! ”
Li Fu noticed that the little girl among the family members of the victims was struggling in her mother's arms, but she didn't care, but solemnly presided over the ceremony and welcomed hundreds of the dead into the cemetery.
