Chapter 101: The Underground Church
The two "gods" confronted each other, and even the air seemed to become stagnant.
Seeing that the angel he summoned was blocked by the gods invited by the other party, the man in black turned grim, and then urged the mana.
Gabriel, who had stopped at the moment, immediately began to move again, and the horn in his hand was immediately brought to his mouth and sounded, and one after another waves visible to the naked eye attacked Nagato Yuki.
In the face of Gabriel's attack, Nagato Yuki, who acted as the god of the house, was unmoved, like a statue. It wasn't until the fluctuations spread in front of her that it finally seemed to hit an invisible wall and completely disappeared into thin air. However, the glass of the adjacent three or four classrooms vibrated in unison, making a buzzing sound, indicating that there was indeed a mana confrontation between the two.
The first wave of the offensive was in vain, and the black-clothed man recited the hymn again: "The horn shook the heavens and the earth, and the wings of the ribs slashed the evil spirits." Why!"
Gabriel's two wings immediately began to grow wildly, and they became more and more crystal clear. In just a moment, those two wings were born like two sharp blades, and with a slight flick of the upward movement, they were almost as high as the third floor, but the end was pointed directly at Nagato Yuki who was blocking the conference room.
In contrast, the image of Yuki Nagato looks so small, as if Gabriel could cut everything in half.
The two giant wings slashed down, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to cut into Yuki Nagato, who was still standing still. At this moment, her figure suddenly disappeared.
A gray shadow moved around the giant wings with great speed, the trajectory almost close to the surface of the wing, and the weapon in his hand slammed into Gabriel's wing. The crystal clear wings were immediately struck with countless cracks, and I don't know how many crystal feathers scattered down.
Gabriel let out an invisible wail, and another wing sprouted a spike from the side, almost stabbing Nagato's cloak. However, just a moment before the stab, Yuki Nagato's cloak flickered and suddenly disappeared from the spot without a trace.
"Huh?" The hostile target suddenly disappeared, the man in black was stunned, and Gabriel, who was summoned by him, also lost his target, and looked left and right in place, trying to find the trace of the enemy.
However, in the next instant, the figure of Yuki Nagato suddenly appeared in front of Gabriel's face. With a forward lunge, her knee slammed into Gabriel's face, and his huge body staggered a little!
"Hey, the handiwork of the village underground church!"
Nagato Yuki was able to produce such a big change, needless to say, it was naturally Mu Changli who rushed to the left to control it. As soon as he saw Gabriel's robe and the streamers behind him, he immediately knew what was going on.
At its source, this spell is, of course, pure angelic summoning. But Christianity has a good one, the best at changing with the situation. Wherever they went to preach, they could immediately make certain improvements according to the local folk culture to facilitate their mission. Unless it's something that is contrary to the bones, it's all tolerable.
For example, Christianity requires professional missionaries to wear white robes and go deep into the masses to preach in order to show a simple atmosphere. However, when they first failed to preach in Toei in order to obtain the consent of the local daimyos, they immediately gained an in-depth understanding of Toei's culture and conducted a targeted survey of the preferences of the Daimyo family, Otomo Sorin. Later, during the second mission, they changed into luxurious religious uniforms and presented a set of clothes that could be said to be the most cutting-edge European aesthetics at that time, which won the support of Otomo Sorin.
In the same way, after Amakusa Shiro later launched the Shimabara Rebellion, Toei's purge of Christians reached its peak. In order to hide their identity, Christians have done everything to make the statue of the Bodhisattva as the statue of the Virgin, and as for the messy customs of other communion festivals, it is not the same. If you go to Africa and South America, you can be forced into any custom, as long as it is within the limits of tolerance.
As a result, there are dozens of large and small Christian sub-sects around the world, note that they are factions, not specific denominations. If you really want to count the registered churches, there are more than 30 legally registered denominations in California in the American Empire alone. Although the world adds up to not thousands, there are definitely hundreds.
When Mu Changli was in Meishan, he once went to listen to the Christmas party held by Christianity in the village, and there were everything, such as allegro, smooth, and three-and-a-half sentences. At the end, the middle-aged and elderly women in the village also sang a song "Today is your birthday, my Lord Christ" in unison, bringing the atmosphere of the party to the peak.
Mu Changli originally went with bad intentions, he wanted to ask the priest on the stage, wasn't Jesus born in October? December 25 was Mithra's birthday, right? But when he heard the voices of those middle-aged and elderly women singing, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything. The villagers in the village lack spiritual life, and what they believe in is the same for them, which is nothing more than seeking spiritual sustenance.
Moreover, although most of these village underground churches have not been registered and are not legal, they have indeed done a lot of things for the villagers. If you lack love, you will have brothers and sisters from the church to talk to you, and if you are in trouble at home, you will have brothers and sisters from the church to bring you warmth.
In order to truly make a religion prosperous, it is not just about reading the classics, but also about the people. Only when a steady stream of people believe in your teachings will people come to learn your spells, and talents will continue to emerge from them. At a critical moment, these people can stand up for religion in order to defend the interests of the sect.
To put it simply, to engage in religion, one relies on being righteous, brave enough, and having many brothers. Only by doing these three things can religion be successful. It is precisely because of such an advanced missionary philosophy that Christianity has become the world's largest religion.
By the way, after that Christmas party, Mu Changli went back and told Aunt Mei about it. Within three months, everyone there had converted to Zhang Wulang.
The same is true of Gabriel in front of him, and it can be clearly seen that this angel summoning technique has incorporated some elements of folk religion to invite the gods. As for which one it was, Mu Changli couldn't tell it. But what he can be sure of is that the other party is absolutely picky. The reason is very simple, although his foundation in the etiquette department is solid, but it would be good to have half of the combat power of the original house god that Nagato Yuki was summoned just like this. The other party can still fight back and forth, forcibly opening five or five......
"Wow, you can really recruit the big cute god!" Wu Suliye and Ye Raccoon also rushed over in time, glaring at the boss, "Uncle, hurry, let the big cute god carry out the information operation!"
"Fuck off!" Mu Changli scolded back without hesitation, "Where will I do this? If I know this, I will die if I beat the other party casually, and I still need to do this?"
"It's a big cute god, aren't you good at illusion?" Ye Raccoon also said, "Now the big cute god's way of playing is completely your trick to throw a stick, right?
"I can't conjure the illusion world, can we teach this at the magic school?" Mu Changli pointed at Nagato Youxi with his hand, "Then if you tell me the spell when you operate the information, I will use it if you say it." ”
Ye Raccoon and Wu Suliye immediately started to fight haha, that kind of thing can't be heard clearly, and no matter how good the memory is, people may not know what it says. Mu Changli saw that they finally had nothing to say, so he took the opportunity to raise his arms and shouted: "There is no need to make any sense to deal with this kind of scum in the rivers and lakes, let's go together!"
As soon as Irina put on her gloves, she was really ready to roll up her sleeves and rush forward. Wu Suliye's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly stopped her, and at the same time pointed to the window of the conference room with his hand: "Uncle, you can see for yourself." ”
Mu Changli looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that Mei Lanfu had actually put her face on the glass at some point, her two eyes were shining, staring at Nagato Youxi who was advancing and retreating in the air like the wind, and she refused to miss it for a moment.
She ...... Isn't it...... Are you still happy to watch?" Mu Changli asked a little sluggishly, even with Nagato Youxi was almost hit, and the cloak was also stabbed and broken. Melanfu's expression immediately became nervous, and both hands were simply clenched into fists.
"Did the big cute god also fight with Ryoko Asakura at the beginning?" Ye Raccoon said with some uncertainty, but Mu Changli beside him said coldly: "Damn, it's done!"
"What?"
Before a few people could react, Mu Changli slammed his hands together on his chest, his index fingers together, and the other four fingers interlocked, and the force was so great that he even made a crisp sound.
"I'm not really scared, I often don't act. The heart is taken from the heart, not the illusion into the illusion. If you don't take it, it's nothing but illusion, it's not illusion yet, and the magic cloud is not yet alive - change!"
Since the beginning of a few people living in the same dormitory, Mu Changli had almost no spells to chant spells. Even if you need a spell once in a while, you can do it in one sentence. Especially after he learned the [Knock Tooth Technique], almost all spells can be completed with only actions and props. In their memories, this could be said to be the first time Mu Changli had recited such a long spell.
And behind Mu Changli, dotted firelight began to appear, and in the blink of an eye, they were connected, dense like a beehive. Along with Mu Changli's urging technique, Nagato Youxi immediately waved his arm at Gabriel, and countless firelights gushed out with this wave of his arm, completely submerging Gabriel in it. Gabriel was burned clean in an instant, leaving no trace.
"With this level of angel summoning technique, the effective distance will not exceed two hundred meters, and the opposite magician must be nearby. Wu Suliye took the Fire Cloud Bow from his shoulder, turned around and prepared to go upstairs. Mu Changli stopped him: "No need, let's sleep." ”
"Huh, aren't you looking for someone?"
"No need to look for it, no need. Mu Changli waved his hand and quietly pinched the seal in the direction where the man in black was hiding, "There's no need." ”
......
The man in black stumbled on the road, and he only felt that his body was a little heavier with every step he ran. The heart is also beating faster and faster, and it can't stop at all.
(Required...... Brother Mingen must be told that the other party ...... Counterpart...... )
The man in black suddenly felt a warmth in his lips, and he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, but he saw a blood red in his palm reflecting the light of the street lamp. He touched his face with both hands again, and only then did he realize that blood was spilling from his mouth and nose together!
Immediately after, his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
Many friends think that it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but in fact, China's rural Christianity is not as prosperous as it is, that is, it is not as good as South Korea. Like southern Zhejiang, it blooms everywhere
