Chapter 177: The Ark

"Stop, what are you three doing?" The priests, samurai, and knights had just emerged from the woods in the mountains and were discovered by the patrol team, and the Taoist monks' typical Eastern professionals collided with Western professionals, which was a sign of the surname after the end of the world, which meant that just like the countless wars that had occurred in this land, some Western forces were trying in vain to let their hands touch this land.

"Dear Orientals, we are travelers who have come here from a distant country and are lost, please allow us to enter this city and rest here for a while!" The gentle American English that came out of the priest's mouth, combined with a reserved smile on his lips, was like the authoritative and infectious speech of the priest during the weekly service.

"Silly X!" Joseph cursed secretly in his heart, and without waiting for the Taoist monk in front of him to express his doubts, he hurriedly shouted in not very lame Chinese, "Friend, we are lost Americans, my name is Joseph, I have lived in this land for three years, we have no malice, we are not bad people, we just want to find a safe place, please allow us to enter this city, we promise not to cause trouble!" ”

It's normal to meet a few gringos before the end of the world, but it's really rare to meet a few gringos dressed like this after the end of the world, except for Will and Smith, who jump up and down in the city every day to spread Li Xian's beliefs, the patrol team really didn't find similar foreigners in other places. Seeing that these three guys are not like good people, but they are human beings after all, the Taoist monks decided to report to the above.

The discovery of the patrol team was quickly reported, and the people above studied for a while and felt that it was not a good thing for these guys who liked to reject the infidels and preached that their god was the only god, and was about to refuse to let them in, but at this time, Li Xian's order had already come, and Li Xian did not pay attention to the two or three kittens, just let them see if the god was carrying out any plan. It was immediately discovered that the patrol team of the three men had been ordered to let them into the city.

"Three, this city is protected, there are basically no ghosts and walking corpses to disturb you, your safety here will be guaranteed, but if you need supplies, this city will not provide them for free, you have to pay the price if you want to get things, take things in exchange or go to work! Gone is the time when you went to stay overnight in Shangri-La, where our people waited to die. Oh yes, by the way, don't cause trouble, or you'll die a miserable death! The Taoist priest, who had been in the society for a long time, didn't like the three foreigners, but he wouldn't object to the orders from above, but he reminded the three of them not very friendly.

"Rude barbarian!" The priest, who also knew a little Chinese, muttered in a low voice in English, and glanced at the man rather unpleasantly.

This sentence is quite difficult to understand for the Taoist priest who is generally not well educated, so the Taoist priest just glanced at the father and left, not planning to have too much communication with these gringos.

"There is a saying in the East that trouble comes from the mouth, I suggest you express less similar opinions, this country has a history of thousands of years more than ours, compared to us is more like a suddenly developed nouveau riche barbarian with no cultural precipitation, you should be careful with your mouth, don't make trouble for us!" As soon as the patrol team left, Joseph issued a serious warning to the priest.

"You are so cowardly in glory, how can you spread the gospel of God to the whole world, and when the ark comes home, I will make a serious protest like the Holy See, and you must face the judgment of the Holy See!" The priest's saliva spurted like a fountain, and his flaming eyes seemed to want to devour the knight.

"Don't make any noise, let's look around and watch to see if anyone is spying on us!" Joseph's disdainful gaze almost caused the priest to jump up and fight him, but at the critical moment, the warrior suddenly spoke up and stopped the two of them from being agitated. The three of them began to walk along the road in the small town.

After nearly a month of development, the city has gradually condensed a sense of home. The streets of the city have been cleaned, the people and houses on the streets are in good order, and even the relatively large market in the city has been formed, and barter, the most primitive way of trading, has become the most suitable method of trading at present. Canned food, medicines, supplies, oil, and fast food noodles have become the most sought-after items in this market, and many people can exchange them for something they need. By the way, Li Xian is not subject to the city tax and any other taxes, and the things of ordinary people will always belong to them. The people who worked for Li Xian said that he was responsible for all the expenses, and it was the combination of these various means that made these three people who came from afar to steal their faith feel troubled.

"We don't have a lot of supplies, and according to the rules of this city, we need to quickly develop believers and accept their offerings, otherwise we will be in trouble!" Touching the shriveled ration bag, Joseph said that prayer did not feed them, and that it was a very real problem that God's followers had to eat.

"Everywhere there will be suitable believers for the Lord!" The priest crossed his chest, smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed not far ahead, and the samurai and knight looked in the direction he pointed, and at the end of the street there were some people gathered outside a small courtyard, and when the three of them looked over, a doctor shook his head slightly and slowly left.

Joseph went out and asked a little bit about the cause and effect of the matter, it turned out that the male owner of this family was in the advanced stage of liver cancer, a few days ago he suddenly fell ill and knew that it was this disease, and he was carried to the temple at that time, and the Taoist monk who took care of the incense in the temple saw it and gave some talisman water, only saying that it could relieve the pain, and his life could not be saved. The Taoist monks on duty in the temple are not bad at cultivation, but they are not to the extent that they can bring the dead back to life, and besides, this kind of birth, old age, sickness and death that belongs to the normal range of the temple is not prepared to take care of too much, so they sent some runic water and let them carry people away.

The woman who carried the patient home was unwilling to let the man die like this, and he asked a doctor for rice and grain, and the Taoist people with magical powers had no choice, what was the use of this doctor coming, and he didn't even prescribe medicine (because there was none) The doctor asked the family to prepare for the funeral. Today, the man is dying, the woman's cry attracted people to watch, and the doctor also sent kindness to take a look, but there is no way, what can be done in the advanced stage of liver cancer? I could only glance at it and shake my head and leave.

"These heretics who do not believe in our Lord will never escape death, and only by believing in our Lord can they obtain eternal life!" The priest gloated and muttered, "But for now, the people in this city don't care, but it's our chance, and the mistress is the first passenger on the ark!" Haha, since she was given a place, she should serve us, the servants of God! ”

Mercy, the samurai cast a sympathetic look at the priest when he heard this, and then muttered to himself that he didn't know what to say. Hearing these words, Joseph's expression changed for a while, and he only said silently in his heart: "After so many years, the Vatican popes have changed one after another, and I have not seen any of these people who are the most pious and closest to God who can live forever!" ”

"Only those who believe in our Lord will have eternal life, mercy and salvation, and those who believe in our Lord will ascend to heaven on the judgment day, but those who do not believe in our Lord will be cast into hell at the judgment and be in the company of sinful souls forever!" The excited priest suppressed his mood a little and walked slowly through the crowd into the courtyard.

The sudden appearance of the priest made the small courtyard fall silent for an instant, and the crowd of onlookers stared at the priest with strange eyes, which made the priest extremely uneasy, and the priest felt as if he had done something wrong in a trance.

"...... you?"

"Boom!" The priest opened his mouth with difficulty to ask, but the crowd of onlookers dispersed the moment he spoke, and the priest's expression froze at that moment.

"Father, priest, can you save my husband? Please, Father, save my husband, I'll give you whatever you want! The grieving woman seemed to find a glimmer of hope in the priest's words, and hurriedly appealed to the priest for help.

"I can't save your husband, but God can, God is omnipotent, as long as you believe in God, God will save you!" The priest solemnly announced the gospel of God to the woman, and a faint light shrouded the woman who was extremely emotionally unstable, and the woman's eyes gradually dimmed as if she really saw God.

"Do the guns work with this method? The glorious God is nothing more than this dishonorable means, and the so-called gods are nothing more than that, no wonder there is always a saying that immortals and gods are made by man! A low sigh came from Li Xian's mouth, today he could be regarded as seeing the reason why the world's number one sect could be formed.

"Mortal, will you believe in God, board Noah's ark, and go before God's throne to receive God's judgment?" The priest's deep voice rang out in front of the woman whose eyes were becoming misty. Joseph had seen this scene countless times, but this time he was a little uneasy in this strange city, and the crowd that was far away seemed to signal that something was going to happen.

"I, willingly!" The misty woman struggled to spit out these three words from her mouth.

A hint of joy flashed in the corner of the priest's eyes, and he said lightly, "You believe in God, and the glory of God will be revealed in front of your eyes, holy light!" ”

A ray of light illuminated the house, and then the light melted into the body of the seriously ill man before the woman's eyes, and the man convulsed for a while, and his pale face gradually became a layer of ruddy, and in a short time he was able to sit up on his own, and the woman who was crying with joy hurriedly held him in her arms.

"His illness is too serious, and he can't last long to stimulate his vitality like this!" Joseph frowned and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"It's okay, when he can't support it, I can use the Yakuzon technique to control him for a while, during this time we can wait for the arrival of Noah's Ark, and when the bishop comes, we can destroy the evil guardians here, and let the people here board the ark to accept God's judgment!"
