Chapter 18: Roasted Swans and Sparrow Pie

There may not be much market for a simple weekend in the continent of Brattis, just as Christianity did not sweep the world by Sunday.

However, sublimating it into the pursuit of a better life is the simplest instinct of human beings.

No matter when and where you are, what color and identity you have, what language you speak, as long as you are alive, no one does not want to live a better life.

Christianity's proposal to go to heaven after death, or Buddhism's so-called reliance on practice to jump out of the cycle of reincarnation (but even high monks can do it, most believers still hope to have a good reincarnation in the next life) is actually a promise to live a good life in a sense.

It's like your boss patting you on the shoulder and telling you, Xiao Wang works hard, and now 996 is a little harder, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely be promoted and raised in the future!

Although the act of painting cakes is not worth encouraging and advocating, in the case of limited resources, it is always better to have bread than no bread.

Especially considering that the times in which the churches lived were generally less productive, everyone was hungry and full, and from time to time they had to suffer natural and man-made disasters.

For the people at the bottom, although they believe in God and the Buddha and live so miserably, they have a hope if they believe it.

Life is like that, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be too sober and realize that you're being hammered.

However, Li Yu is different from his Shuangxiu sect.

They themselves represent the most advanced productive forces, so there is no need to play with it at all, just declare to the believers that they can live a better life in this life.

And it is true, when the first batch of red brick houses are built and the grain planted is abundant, every lizardman will be able to experience the benefits of worshipping Saturday, and the faith in his heart will naturally become more and more firm.

This is also the second necessary element that constitutes religion – the feelings and experiences of religion.

A religion that can continue to grow and develop must allow believers to arouse strong religious feelings and form a certain conceptual form.

This is also the reason why Li Yu made the establishment of the land kingdom of God the first mission of the Shuangxiu Sect.

First of all, this is of course out of the need for mission, Li Yu needs the lizard people to go out after living a good life, take the initiative to promote the benefits of faith Saturday, and turn it into a swarm of tap water.

Secondly, Li Yu also needs to unite all people of different races and places by giving believers a sense of sacred mission.

It's like a big brother who is no longer there.

This must be done, because the Brattis Road is full of races, humans, orcs, gnomes, dwarves, elves......... The relationship between them is complicated, not to mention the various contradictions that have existed in different social classes and different regions for a long time.

Even if you just look at the green fields, there is no difference between the lizard and the common people.

If the Shuangxiu Church wants to develop and grow in the future, without a grand and widely accepted goal to connect everyone and seek common ground while reserving differences, then it will be difficult to really unite and have enough organizational power.

In addition to this, there are also external factors of religion such as behavior and activities.

For example, the unique two-week holiday of the Double Rest Church, such as Li Yu's previous communication Saturday in front of Miss Rabbit and Jude, or the initiation ceremony he held for Hera, and the "Kingdom of God" promotional video he is now playing for the lizardmen are all in this category.

In addition, Li Yu also plans to arrange several leisure and entertainment activities unique to the Shuangxiu Sect, as well as introduce mindfulness meditation as a spiritual practice (relaxation) method of the order, to enhance the ritual and mystery, but these do not need to be too anxious, you can take your time in the future.

Finally, there is the organization and system of the Order.

For the time being, there is only one light pole prophet in the Saturday Order, Li Yu, who was good to say when he took four students before, but now with the addition of the lizardmen, Li Yu is a little overwhelmed.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

The progress of various production and construction on the territory of the Order alone is enough for him to be busy every time he comes, not to mention preaching doctrines and ideological construction among the lizardmen.

But there is no way, these things are currently something that no one but him can do.

It would be useless for Li Yu to come out with a team immediately, so he would make do with it for the time being.

It was also a problem that the literacy rate among the faithful, including the prophet, was illiterate.

Some of the lizardfolk themselves may have been peasant women who had been raided into swamps and could speak the lingua franca, while more male lizardfolk simply spoke the vernacular among the lizardmen.

Communication with outsiders is basically all about knives and axes.

Therefore, although the issue of education is not imminent, it must also be put on the agenda.

Li Yu disposed of all the things he had accumulated in the two days before his absence, arranged the next production plan, and then explained the doctrine to the lizardmen.

Then he rode his horse to the teacup castle.

Li Yu originally said that he planned to come by bicycle in the future and exercise his body by the way, but on the first day of his arrival, the wheel of the car was picked up by the lizard people.

Although it was later returned, a car tire burst, and a wheel was smashed and deformed, which should have been used as a shield by the previous owner to block some heavy weapons.

Then he didn't keep it, and the people were gone, and Li Yu wanted to pursue it, but there was no one to investigate.

In addition, the land he got was moved from the place near Teacup Fort to the westernmost swamp, and the distance became much farther away, and Li Yu estimated that he would not have to do anything if he pedaled his bicycle, and he could get off work just by pedaling back and forth.

So I didn't even bring the back parts with me, reconfigured the two wheels, and threw them in the original universe to ride.

It is still used by horses.

After riding for a while, I basically got used to it, except for a little bumpy buttocks, grinding the inner thighs and everything else is fine.

But by the time he arrived, the banquet had already begun.

The guards guarding the gate were now familiar with Li Yu, and no one stopped him from entering the castle.

Li Yu rode to the open space in front of the stone castle in one go, which was also quite lively, with several long tables set up to entertain the entourage of those nobles, and some people were playing the piano and singing.

Li Yu dismounted, and immediately after that, a servant stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, Li Yu thanked him, walked straight through the crowd, and walked to the second floor.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a female voice chattering, "These dishes are too ordinary, the last time my uncle held a banquet, there was a dish that was roasted with the tails of beavers, and it is said that it took the tails of a hundred beavers to make it......

"Oh yes, and my sister, on the day she got married, there was a dish of roasted swans, and the swans could open their mouths and spew flames, which was beautiful."

Then she looked at the royal family members who seemed a little drowsy beside her, and said sweetly, "Sir Leo, I heard that the royal capital is very famous for its sparrow pie, and after cutting the pie, there are still live sparrows hidden in it, and they will fly out together, and the house will be full of chatter, is this true?" ”
