Chapter 21: Prologue to the Holy Burial

When the smoke of the war cleared, everything seemed to be back to normal, and the tense arrangements began in the safety zone, and tomorrow morning, when the first sun rose in the sky, a huge funeral would be held to mourn and see off the fallen heroes.

The church in the neighborhood had already been converted into a small shrine, and the altar where the cross was placed had been replaced by a new one, a white statue with its eyes looking straight at the gate in front of it, as if looking at the sky, causing a huge shock to the soul.

The carved auspicious clouds and silk-like robes fluttering, coupled with the smile on the face, make people feel like a spring breeze.

If the faithful look closely, they can see that the statue bears a three-point resemblance to their bishop.

……

"Report to the commander, the main city ahead, the danger level is A, His Excellency Mu Yun has met with the first officer, and he is on his way back, the best route through the main city of City C has been calculated, please take a look!" The officer, dressed in military uniform and holding the title of major general, handed over the document in his hand to the old man sitting on the sofa.

The old man flipped through his hand a few times, and then put it down, he had absolute confidence in his subordinates, these people were brought out by him, and he was ninety percent sure of their ability and loyalty.

"Just follow this route, now that several other military regions have cut off contact with the imperial capital, they will send us, I think those in the north have been waiting a little anxiously, you quickly send someone to rescue the key rescuers, and then go directly north, the target imperial capital!"

The old man closed his eyes and stopped talking, all he recalled in his mind at this time was the tragic image of the end of the world, as well as the tragic death of his son, the old man sighed softly, human beings have come to the edge of the cliff at this time, and the only people who can really take care of the overall situation are people like them who hold heavy power and are in high positions, although this will make people feel annoying and insulting.

The major general saluted and left quietly, he naturally knew the state of the old man at this time, there are not many people who can do this level, at this time most of the people with military power are beginning to become independent, the reasons are very complicated, but the most important point is undoubtedly their heart.

……

The scene layout is not luxurious and grand, but with the current environment, it has reached the extreme, and it looks very solemn and solemn, which makes people feel that their hearts are shocked. The church was emptied of all debris in order to accommodate the tens of thousands of believers, but in fact the space of this size was far from enough, the site was too small, and the other believers could only watch from the rooftops around it.

Centered on the church in the Xingyue community, it spread out in all directions, and thousands of believers were distributed on the seats, leaving a passage large enough for a car to pass. The dense crowd of people looks very shocking, and it makes people's hearts feel like they have been hit hard.

Jin Yaoyu inspected the venue, which made him feel a little regretful, it was not as holy as he imagined, but on the whole, it was perfect, and he did not miss any problems, he looked up at the sky and found that the sun had only risen halfway, at this time there was still a period of time at noon, the holy burial was a very sacred thing, he had already seen it in the canon edited by Xiao Feng a long time ago, he believed in the god who controlled all the light in the world, so the holy burial time must start at noon, which is also the time period when the divine grace is the heaviest.

The clergy are still alive, most of them are still in the process of pacifying them, the dead warriors are not alone, most of them have friends and relatives, the grief caused by death is enough to make their relatives and friends heartbroken, and the job of the clergy at this time is to soothe their wounded hearts and give some compensation, and the war dead will get the reward they deserve, not just because of faith.

……

The devotees also entered the ceremonial venue one after another, and it was a solemn ceremony, and the devout among them had already arrived at the venue before dawn and took up their positions in the front.

"Husband, you don't believe it when you wake up early!" Li Jia stared at the man beside him with a complaining face, this man who could bring him warmth. Ever since she had been rescued from the house where there was nothing to eat by the church, she had come to believe in the god called the Shining Light, and the Holy Light shone on her heart, and she divided her heart into two, one to the Lord and one to her man.

"Hmmm! I won't be next time! Qin Xiang touched Li Jia's back to comfort, he looked at the church in front of him, prayed sincerely in his heart, and swore to the gods he believed in, swearing to God is a very serious and serious matter, and breaking his promise will be punished by God!

A milky white light flew out from the statue in the church and landed on Qin Xiang's body, a mysterious and terrifying power fell on his body, Qin Xiang's face turned pale at this moment, and then became ruddy again. This is considered the establishment of the oath, and if he breaks his oath in the future, he will be punished by God.

Li Jia looked at the man next to her in surprise, her face was full of happiness, just as she felt, this man could bring her warmth and security.

The people around turned their heads to look at Qin Xiang in surprise, this person actually swore to God, the moment they joined the church, they got the canons taught by the clergy, the most clearly stipulated one, absolutely not to swear to God casually, once the gods accept the oath, then the oath is established, the oath must complete their oath, can not be violated, otherwise they will be punished by God!

No one knows what divine punishment is like, but one thing is certain, the person who is punished by God must be very miserable.

And at this moment, the music came slowly from all around, it was a very sad piano music, the sound was sometimes solemn and mighty and sometimes sad and soft, this is a piano music that no one has ever heard, it is very soothing to listen to, and can make the hot heart gradually calm down, and unconsciously fall into it.

"O Father of the Great Shore! Give your humble servant rest that he may have eternal life in your kingdom! O Lamb of mortals! Look up at the sun in the sky...... Feel the glory of my God...... The god who gives us food and clothing! ……”

The aria came out of nowhere, and the believers did not find the source of the sound, and they were curious, but this holy, shocking, ethereal exclamation was intoxicating and aroused the deepest emotion of the believer's heart, the god who sat in the sky, with his mercy to save the Lamb from the dire straits.

A white light continued to spread out from that church, the light was very sacred, making people feel warm, and the believers who saw this immediately pressed the excitement in their hearts and prayed sincerely!

Wherever the light shines, the plants that had fallen in winter are rejuvenated, and the flowers are reopened, and the beauty is extraordinary in an instant!
