Chapter 109: The Light of the Universe
Knowing the place, Ma Xiaoyang and Cheng Zijin didn't rush in, since it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the people inside hadn't rested yet, then, theoretically, six hours later, around nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there should be a release.
Of course, this theory is made up.
The two did not go out of the forest, but on the tree, Cheng Zijin commanded the metal to liquefy into a small tree house, and the two of them sat on the top of the tree to meditate and recover.
At about six o'clock, someone opened the door and went out, leaving on foot, Cheng Zijin was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't use his ability to check, but he just heard the sound of walking, and then put away his ability and woke up Ma Xiaoyang, and the molten metal wrapped around the two of them was like a long river, falling from the sky, bypassing the surveillance, through the window, and into the hall.
This hall is very empty, the place is placed some futons made of plant roots, in front of it is a statue, I don't know how to describe it, it seems that the builder of this statue, wants to express the concept of a light, but it looks like a fire, also like a cloud, shimmering with metallic luster, constantly reflective, silvery-white, it looks very artistic.
"Hello. The two were probing around, and suddenly there was a voice behind them, for the first time, being approached so silently, Cheng Zijin rose in response, and the molten metal instantly turned into a shield to protect the two, and countless needles were formed in the air.
Ma Xiaoyang subconsciously wanted to launch the white horse shoes, but seeing Cheng Zijin like this, he temporarily let go of control.
"I have no ill intentions, on the contrary, I welcome both of them. Cheng Zijin heard that it was the woman who spoke last night.
"Who are you?" Cheng Zijin put away his shield, but he didn't revoke the suspended needle, and Ma Xiaoyang didn't give up controlling the white horse shoes, intending to teleport away immediately when it wasn't right.
"I am the Bishop of the Cosmic Light of Madrid and the Archbishop of the Cosmic Light of Spain, my name is Illya. Illya said kindly.
Cheng Zijin and Ma Xiaoyang observed carefully, Illya seemed to be in her thirties, very well maintained, with tight skin, a slender figure, wearing a linen dress, and her brown hair was draped behind her back.
"I'm sorry, but what is the light of the universe. Ma Xiaoyang barely understood her words and asked.
"The light of the universe is a big family, and the congregation, under the leadership of God, perceives nature, appreciates nature, and preserves nature. Illya opened her mouth and came.
"I'm sorry, it's rude for us to break in, but we just found a relief that absorbs people's spiritual power, and we tracked it all the way here. Cheng Zijin didn't know the depth of this woman, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he didn't want to leave just like that, so he slowly planned to negotiate with her to see what he could get out.
"Spiritual power is also a kind of power, when each person is particularly concentrated, it will be emitted, and when it is emitted, it will dissolve into heaven and earth, and we collect this power according to the instructions of God, and I can assure you that this kind of gathering and participating energy will not affect the individual. Illya said.
"I trust you at this point, and the ability to collect the remnants will not make any difference. Cheng Zijin knew that Ma Xiaoyang didn't understand, so he replied to Illya while explaining.
"You two came last night, I've been waiting for you, but I didn't expect to wait all night. Illya smiled. "Let's go in for some breakfast and some tea, whatever your purpose is, it's always a guest when you come. ”
"Thank you for your hospitality. Cheng Zijin did not refuse, but Ma Xiaoyang was in a hurry.
"What's the situation, I still went to drink tea, I was discovered, let's go quickly, this place is Longtan Tiger's Den, the more I look at it, the more I feel that something is wrong." ”
"It's okay, I don't see any fluctuations in her abilities, she shouldn't be a superpower, other means have limited effect on us, I want to know what this god is, what is the purpose of their doing this. ”
"Okay, but don't worry, I have the equipment to teleport, and I can block it. Ma Xiaoyang squeezed his eyes.
Illya didn't know whether she didn't understand or ignored it, so she just led the way ahead.
Out of the hall, there is a small indoor garden at the back, which is full of all kinds of flowers, many of which are not the ones that should bloom this season, and some bizarre-looking plants, quite a few butterflies and bees are busy in it.
In the middle of the garden is a small fountain and next to it a pavilion with a set of tea sets and some pastries.
Everything seems to be harmonious, the kind of harmony between man and nature.
"Ms. Elija, can you explain the light of the universe to us?" Cheng Zijin pointed to the flowers and plants around him. "To be able to live in such harmony with nature, I believe that your essence is not bad. ”
"Of course, while we drink tea, I'll explain it to you at the same time, it's a story from a long time ago. Illya still had a kind, calm expression, and there was no fluctuation in her speech.
Illya slowly explained the origin of this religion.
Illya joined this religion forty years ago, at that time, she was in her twenties, suffering from cancer, and in the case of doctors who had no choice, she turned to religion to find relief, before and after, several religions circulating in Europe went in to understand, but I always felt that I owed something, until I met the light of the universe, at that time, the light of the universe was still a secret society, and it was being redeveloped, I heard the predecessors say that the largest time was before and after World War II, almost every country had an archbishop, hundreds of thousands of congregations.
The doctrine of the light of the universe is very simple, and the central idea is only one sentence, man and nature
Unification sounds very similar to Taoism, both of which are the posture of the unity of heaven and man, but the more Illya explains, the more she feels that the Taoism in Ma Xiaoyang's heart is completely different.
According to the doctrine of the light of the universe, human beings are born as a part of nature, and their food and clothing are gifts from nature, and after death, they will also integrate into nature and become some kind of nourishment to nourish the continued operation of this world, so they respect nature and improve nature, and the purpose of their practice is to make nature and themselves one, so that they can be 100% integrated into nature, and then achieve eternal life, or, under the guidance of God, enter their paradise and wait for the final integration.
They believe that everything in the world has its own god, the wind has the wind god, the sun has the sun god, and above these scattered gods, there is a main god who rules everything in the world, which they call nature.
What they preach, especially like environmentalists, of course, if there are only these simple teachings, then it will not be very attractive, and in a short period of time, the most fundamental thing that attracts such a large number of believers is ritual.
From the beginning of the establishment of the light of the universe, there has been a tradition of absorbing spiritual power for sacrifice, at the beginning, it was believers who sang the praises of the main god nature together, and then collected energy to sacrifice, and gradually developed to the present, it was found that many places can be collected, neat nightclubs, fans who are bent on winning, fans who dig out their hearts and lungs, and even in MLM organizations, some schools, etc., as long as they have a single thought in their hearts and reach a certain balanced aura, they can collect energy.
It's a virtuous cycle, and the more you collect, the more effective the ritual becomes.
During the ceremony, these energies are sacrificed, and at the same time, there will be blessings from the gods, healing and saving people, prolonging life, and even bringing good luck.
This point, Illya, who is in her sixties, appeared to say, which is very convincing.
"Your Lord God is natural, has anyone seen it?" Ma Xiaoyang asked curiously.
"Of course, not only have we seen it, but we have also been to the paradise he built for us. Although Illya was still calm, kind, and compassionate, the frenzy in her eyes almost melted Cheng Zijin and Ma Xiaoyang.
