The church is crowded between 8 and 9 a.m., because everyone who comes in for worship is given a piece of food, usually a small piece of rice cake or something cheap, which naturally attracts a large number of poor and people who like to take advantage of it.

There are also people who dress decently and go directly to the church, and these are true believers or quasi-believers. Although there are not many such people, their social status and influence are far from comparable to those who receive food.

It is a tradition for Xia people to worship gods when they see them, even if the rules of this foreign temple are different from other temples, and it is against the laws of the ancestors, there are always poor people who are attracted by the welfare of the church and people who believe in the interests of foreign religion to join.

For example, those scoundrel bastards in the town who are similar to Wang Ergou in Jiangmu Village basically belong to this foreign church, and become the lackeys under the door of the church, under the banner of foreigners, even the local police are a little jealous for a while, and they no longer call and drink to them as before.

This is the practice of all parts of the Xia Kingdom, and whenever foreigners go to open churches, they are the first to collect these scoundrels, and then use this to open up the situation.

The scoundrels who tasted the sweetness naturally found a way to make a fortune, and one by one they converted to foreign religions, as if they were the most devout believers.

Seeing this scene in front of the church, Mao Jiufang, who was a cultivator of Middle Earth and a descendant of the orthodox sect, naturally had an ugly face.

Gao Jingfei didn't know what Mao Jiufang was thinking before, or he could roughly guess the other party's intentions, but he also had the idea of coming to see this church, and now at a glance, there was really a problem, and it was a big problem!

Although this church has only been built for a few years, the whole appearance gives people a sense of vicissitudes and gloom that has existed for decades.

There is no need to rearrange it for a haunted house.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this church may just look a little dark and uncomfortable, but many temples can give people a similar feeling, so no one says anything is wrong.

He turned to Mao Jiufang and asked:

"Mao Daoyou, is it the mayor here who said that the church was built here to suppress the evil position?"

Mao Jiufang saw that Gao Jingfei's face was wrong, and hurriedly replied:

"That's right, that's what Mayor Hu told everyone at the beginning, that's why he got the support of some people, otherwise we residents of Gantian Town are still very reluctant to build a foreign temple!"

Gao Jingfei nodded when he heard this, and said:

"It seems that the mayor of this town also has a problem, this foreign church is definitely not simply here to preach, they have bad intentions!"

Mao Jiufang hurriedly asked:

"Did Gao Daoyou find any problems?"

"Hey, hey! If my prediction is correct, I am afraid that these foreigners will play a big game of chess, and I am afraid that someone will do something under the church, polluting the local spiritual energy, destroying the feng shui leylines, this is to cut off the root of my Middle Earth! ”

Gao Jingfei looked at the church coming and going in front of the door, and said with a sneer.

When Mao Jiufang heard this, she immediately became angry.

"This foreign devil will not die in my heart of Middle-earth Shenzhou!"

"Over the years, they can be seen not only in coastal areas, but also in the inland and even in the Tibetan border and grasslands, many Xuanmen passages have been oppressed and left behind for many years The dojo has shrunk inward, and most of the officials have not done anything, and there are corrupt officials and traitors who have helped foreigners oppress us, I didn't expect these foreigners to secretly do tricks and feet on my Middle-earth, if every foreign temple is ......"

Mao Jiufang said that she couldn't imagine it.

A few people stood in front of the church, because they were dressed strangely, and there was Mao Jiufang, a celebrity in the town, so they had already attracted the attention of many people.

Even after the church found out what was going on outside, someone came out.

In fact, the presiding priest of the church, Stefan Flick, did not want to come out, after all, he was only a small priest in the Holy See.

Being able to preside over such a large church in the busy commercial dock of Gantian Town will definitely not be his turn on the Europa side, and it is estimated that the best result will be to be assigned to a remote and backward township.

That is, to open up new pastures for the Lord and the Holy See in the Far East, it will be his turn to come forward as a priest born as the second son of a small nobleman with little background.

So he didn't want to conflict with the people outside at this time, if it was just Mao Jiufang, a pagan priest, he knew this person better, he was a righteous gentleman, although he didn't know that Middle Earth had an allusion to "gentlemen can be bullied", but he knew how to deal with this kind of person, so it was easy to manipulate public opinion so that Mao Jiufang had no excuse to attack the church.

But although he didn't know the truth, he also knew that it was very powerful, and it was not an existence that he could fight against at all, and now the support from the Holy Court had not yet arrived, and according to the letter from there, he had just arrived in Xiangshan and got off the boat, and wanted to rush to Gantian Town, which was far inland, even if he took the waterway, it would take ten days and a half months.

So he can only come out with a hard head, planning to fool the past today, as long as he can delay until the help arrives, he will not be afraid!

Cheering himself up in this way, the priest came forward and saluted:

"Chief Mao, everyone, I don't know what you are doing in my church, are you coming to worship? The Great Lord of Light welcomes all lost beings! ”

Mao Jiufang frowned and was just about to refute, when she heard Gao Jingfei say beside her:

"I'm afraid that I will worship your god, and your Lord of Light will not be able to bear it!"

Stefan Frick was immediately furious, and pointed at Gao Jingfei with a look of disbelief and said:

"You, you are blaspheming, the great Lord of Light will condemn you as a sinner, and you will go to hell to be cruelly punished!"

Gao Jingfei snorted disdainfully, and seeing that the crowd of onlookers had gathered a lot, he deliberately said loudly:

"Who wouldn't say something to scare someone? Let's be practical, what's wrong with me blaspheming you, Lord of Light? Do you have the ability to let your god come and send down the divine punishment to show me? Or can your Holy See fight another religious war? ”

Of course, it's not a big deal to see the excitement, when Mao Jiufang brought people to the church to point out, there were already many good people who ran back to the town to spread the word and ask people to come and see the excitement, and now at least half of the town's people and merchants gathered over.

When Gao Jingfei finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and some people who were originally in awe of this foreigner and foreign god also changed their minds suspiciously at this time.

As the presiding priest, someone slandered his faith, and if it was Europe, he would have incited the believers to cripple people, but Stefan Flick did not dare to act rashly in front of this person.

And he also knew that the other party's words just stuck his weakness, of course he had nothing to say.

There are indeed people in the Holy Court who can perform the descent ceremony, let the great Lord of Light send down his power or send the gods down to earth.

But that is not something that can be done by one person alone, it is estimated that a large mass will be presided over by a number of bishops and the archbishop, with the help of many believers and the power of the church, even His Majesty the Pope, he estimates that he will have to rely on holy weapons to do so.

And he is even more unlikely to be an ordinary priest who is not even a bishop.

As for waging a religious war because the gods are blasphemed?

That's even more of a joke.

Even the Holy See's territory has been deprived of by the secular state over the years, and their Holy See may still have some influence in the secular world, but it is not enough to promote a religious war, unless it is in line with the wishes of a certain power or most countries.

Even the first crusades, and even the subsequent wars of religion, were more the result of secular interests, and the name of religion was only a good excuse for those monarchs and rulers to wage war.
