Chapter 140: The Sacrifice Begins
Listening to Chu Yi's words, Beichen Hanze was instantly full of black lines, and there were only four of them, who had nothing to carry this thing with, if it weren't for their special identity, let alone buying phosphorus bombs, I am afraid they would not even have the qualifications to touch it.
Therefore, Beichen Hanze was full of contempt for Chu Yi's seemingly innocent eyes, this girl didn't know that standing and talking didn't hurt her back.
But now that all the problems are basically solved, there is only one thing left.
That is to wait, waiting for the day of the church sacrifice.
Saturn does not have four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, only dry and wet seasons, and the current season is exactly at the transition point of the two seasons, which is also the most comfortable time of the year for Saturn.
Early this morning, Katyusha called her husband and son very early and asked them to help prepare today's feast and offerings. Today's sacrifice is the most important festival of the year for the Katyusha family, who believe in the Holy See of Light, and it has been almost three years since today.
Three years ago, their town was attacked by a tide of beasts, and the town almost fell, at this time, the Holy See of Light stepped forward, drove away the strange beasts, and also healed the injured people in the town for free.
Her husband was healed by the priests of the Holy See of Light, and since then, the Katyusha family has been believing in the Holy See of Light.
It's been three years now, and today is the most important annual ceremony of the Holy See of Light.
Every year at this time, the god of light will give rewards, like the first year Katyusha sang and danced for him at the ceremony, the god of light gave Katyusha a precious son in her life, but although Katyusha loved her son very much, Katyusha always wanted a daughter.
Because every year at the festival of light, the god of light will choose a holy woman of light, and in their eyes, if their daughter can be chosen as a holy woman of light, it is a supreme honor.
But I don't know how, although Katyusha and her husband have tried again and again, it is regrettable that Katyusha's belly has grown for a long time, but now Katyusha is no longer attached to this, because Katyusha feels that as long as her heart always believes in the god of light, one day the god of light will be able to feel her faith.
I hope that after my death, I will be able to pass through my soul to heaven and always serve God.
"Baby, look at you, the cream on your mouth hasn't been wiped clean yet" Leaning over, Katyusha reached out and gently wiped the cream off his son's mouth.
"Mother" happy voice came out of the little boy's mouth, full of immature words made people's hearts soften, at this time out of the kitchen came a tall man, brown hair, blue eyes, sorghum nose, with a friendly smile on his face to look at the mother and daughter.
"Katyusha, it's all ready, it's time to go" A deep voice came out of the man's mouth, Katyusha picked up the little boy, turned to look at her husband with a smile, and nodded happily.
Since her husband was injured in the beast tide three years ago and was healed by the priest of the Holy See of Light, it seems that he has also been cured of his past bad temper and bad habits.
The former husband was not as good as the Katyusha now, and he would beat the Katyusha at every turn, a small fight in three days, and a big fight in five days. is also idle all day long, not doing anything serious, only knowing how to drink and gamble.
At that time, Katyusha didn't know how hard she was living, and she owed a lot of foreign debts, and she lived in fear all day long, for fear that the debt collector would come to her door that day.
However, there was one thing that his husband did that made Katyusha more satisfied at that time, that is, when the beast tide attacked the town, her husband did not abandon her and escaped, and he also tried his best to block the attack of the star beast.
It is also this that after the beast tide, the Katyusha family was rewarded by the government, with the reward money issued by the government, Katyusha and her husband opened this cake shop in the town, although the business was not particularly hot, but in three years, they not only paid off their foreign debts, but also had a surplus.
What's more, her husband quit gambling and drinking, which is what makes Katyusha the happiest.
"Wait" Just when the three of them wanted to go out, Katyusha suddenly spoke, put down her son, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, while Katyusha's husband was holding his son's hand and waiting at the door, and after a while, Katyusha walked out with a happy smile on her face.
There were two more necklaces in her hands, and there was a silver badge on the necklace, the front of which was in the shape of a church, and the reverse side was written in an incomprehensible script, and Katyusha smiled and put it on her husband and son.
This is something that Katyusha has prepared for today's festival, and the church on the front of the badge goes without saying, and the text on the back translates to mean 'Believe in the light, the will of God is my life's dedication.'" ’。
Seeing the happy smiles on her husband and son's faces, Katyusha felt that everything was worth it, and as she spoke, the two took her son's hand and left the house, and the place they went to was the tall church in the town.
At this time, the street where the church was located was full of vendors and the street was overcrowded, but it was surprising that there was no noise at all, and the streets were full of men and women, old and young, and everyone had a more or less pious look on their faces.
And the business on the stall is also unusually hot, but the transaction is a little surprised, or surprised, buyers often do not bargain for the stall owner's goods, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, the two have no superfluous words, and even the hawker does not even have the most basic welcome next time, it seems that everything here seems a little weird.
At this time, the Katyusha family also came to the entrance of the street, and they were not surprised at all when they saw this scene, and it seemed that they were already accustomed to it.
Smiled and blended into the crowd, without a hint of disobedience.
But the family walked through the crowd, didn't buy anything, and went straight to the church in the center of the street.
In fact, the things sold on this street are generally some sacrificial things, and there are so-called sacred things that are imitated from the items that flow from the Holy See of Light.
And one thing is that it seems that these things are these things every year, but every year the business is very good, but for this, the vendors don't think much about it, because for them, as long as they make money, they don't care about other things.
And they don't care at all about what these people in front of them say about the Holy See of Light, they will leave here anyway after selling things, for any Holy See, although the place where they live is not too far from here,
But they are all staunch Scientologists, and for the rest, I can only give you two words: hehe.
Time was passing minute by minute, and the stars that emitted light and heat were slowly rising above Saturn, and with the ringing of a bell, everyone in the street converged in one direction like a stream of water, and the many vendors waiting under the parasols also opened their intoxicated faces.
Because they knew that the time was up, they got up and began to close the stall, although every time they regretted that the time was so short, but when they saw the numbers on their watches, the stall owners of each stall had a satisfied smile on their faces.
As for watching this ceremony of the Holy See of Light, except for a few hawkers with pious smiles on their faces, the other vendors all smiled disdainfully, what is so beautiful, it's not that they haven't seen it.
In their eyes, they really don't understand why so many people participate in a boring sacrificial event, they really don't understand, they simply don't want to do it anymore, make a lot of money today, and now they are thinking about going to that chic and chic.
If this Holy See of Light held this so-called Light Sacrifice every once in a while, maybe they could let these vendors go and put two sticks of incense on that God of Light or something.
As for now, it can really only be hehe, at this time, the church of light is almost crowded, but the strange thing is that there was no stampede, people are walking in harmony, and many people in priest's clothes around the crowd show a fanatical look on their faces and respectfully kneel and worship the golden statue on the main hall, next to the statue, the priest holding the scepter has his eyes slightly closed at this time, muttering to himself, and the same expression on his face seems to be communicating what the so-called God of Light.
"My God, Lord" With a voice, everyone inside and outside the church was praying reverently, and at this time, a group of people in silver-white armor escorted a float slowly in, and on the train, a little girl about six or seven years old was dressed in costume, wearing a garland on her head, and her eyes were full of enthusiasm to look at the statue in front of her.
"Prayer of the Holy Maiden"
At this time, the little girl's eyes became cold, revealing a look that did not belong to her age, looking around at the people around her, slowly walked down the float, and slowly came to the priest's side under the protection of the silver-white armored man, the priest showed a kind smile on his face, leaned over and whispered: "Your Highness, the light guards us, and I hope that Her Highness the Holy Maiden prays to the God of Light and tells them that his believers are always by his side." ”
"Hmm" The little girl nodded slowly without any extra words.
He knelt down in front of the golden statue, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, muttered words in his mouth, and the pious look on his face made the priest on the side nod in satisfaction, and then turned to look at the people in the church who were leaning over to pray, and the smile on his face was even stronger.
