Chapter 352: Is This a Goddess?
Miracles have not been uncommon, but no matter where and what kind of miracles occur, it takes a lot of meticulous work on the part of the clergy to turn those who are in awe of miracles into believers in their own churches. But the Caring Church doesn't do that at all, so how can these people still believe in the Goddess of Care?
Parr, the priest of the Church of Justice, was the priest of the Church of Justice who was sent to the temple of the goddess of care to be in charge of watching, and he witnessed the occurrence of a qiΔ on the day when Jiang Junming made the emblem and statue of the deity. But he can still understand that kind of miracle, after all, there is not only one miracle that occurs on the mainland every year. But these strange expressions of people made Parr wonder. So one night, Parr, a priest at the Church of Justice, stopped a believer who was about to return home after praying.
"Why do you come here every day to pray?" asked Parr, the priest of the Church of Justice.
The person who was not yet a believer saw that the person who asked him was a priest and the emblem he was wearing belonged to the Righteous Church, so he immediately humbly bowed to the priest of the Righteous Church, Parr, and said tremblingly: "Respected priest of the Righteous Church, I have not done anything bad. β
"Didn't say you did anything bad. Parr couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything to comfort him, and the citizens were no different from a cat or a dog in his eyes, "I ask you why you come here every day to pray." β
"Lord Priest, I pray here, and I can feel the statue of the Goddess of Care looking at me gently, making me forget my troubles, as if the Goddess of Care can guide me no matter what difficulties I have. The man who had just finished praying bowed his head. As if he had done something wrong, he whispered to answer the question of Parr, the priest of the Church of Justice.
Isn't that a joke? Parr didn't know how to express his feelings when he heard the citizen's answer. Pray. Or is it outside the temple, you can't even see the idol of the goddess, and you can feel the idol of the goddess of care looking at you gently?
After letting the man go, Parr, the priest of the Church of Justice, stopped a few more people and asked them why they came to the temple of the goddess every day to pray. To Parr's surprise, the answers he received were almost the same, or rather that he could feel the statue of the goddess of care looking at him gently. Either he felt that the light emitted by the Holy Emblem made him very comfortable, and all the troubles disappeared, and his appetite was good when he returned home. All kinds of small problems on my body are gone. One person even said that he felt the Divine Mansion gently caress his head, comforting his manic heart.
Isn't this hysteria? How can you have these hallucinations after praying at the temple of the goddess of care? This is not the shrine enshrined in the Temple of Light Alliance. And what kind of evil god? However, Parr, the priest of the Church of Justice, did not talk about this idea with the others. It's just that I muttered to myself in my heart for a while, looking at the temple of the goddess of care from a distance, and what an incredible thing it was that the dilapidated place was actually watched by the god's mansion.
When Parr dragged his tired body back to the church and told Bishop SΓΉ the news he had found out today, Parr was worried that the Bishop would scold him. But the bishop of the Church of Justice just waved his hand weakly, telling Parr to retreat first, thinking about something alone in the empty temple.
Of course. Parr wasn't alone in finding out about the Temple of the Goddess of Care. Most of the people in other churches have had similar results, although these citizens have not yet made the goddess of care their own residence. But they always go, and it doesn't seem to be very good. The churches basically maintain a cautious attitude towards caring for the church, although they are very interested in the clergy to preach, but if this continues, I am afraid that the number of believers will naturally increase.
Jiang Junming basically soaked in the construction site every day, working with the Great Alchemist of Tisendal and the Great Alchemist of Laicartem, watching the temple of the goddess of care take shape little by little in front of him. But at night, Jiang Junming's sleep became worse and worse. I can fall asleep every night when I close my eyes, but I can't enter the half-plane of the light brain. The nightmare had been haunting him, and when he closed his eyes, he could see the two women arguing, and the quarrel was getting more and more intense, and it was about to fight. But after Jiang Junming woke up, he couldn't remember any details.
What made Jiang Junming even more worried was the feathered snake. The feathered snake transformed by the little girl who was transformed by the light brain still appears from time to time, sometimes appearing around her, sometimes disappearing without a trace, and Jiang Junming's mental power can't feel where the feathered snake has gone.
This made Jiang Junming very worried, worried that something was wrong with the Feathered Serpent or the light brain. But Jiang Junming couldn't enter the light brain space, and as soon as he slept, he saw the two women arguing.
Others seem to see that Jiang Junming is a young man who is favored by the goddess, and he has a good future in the future, and they are very envious of him. But during this time, only Jiang Junming himself knew the confusion in his heart. Even sometimes Jiang Junming felt that he was starting to be vaguely irritable.
Sometimes the feathered serpent disappears, sometimes it reappears, and there is no pattern to it. Jiang Junming was helpless in this regard, and he didn't know why this situation would happen.
The things on the construction site soon did not need Jiang Junming to participate, because the basic construction pattern of the foundation and the temple had been completed, and the rest was some of the most basic construction work. There were two alchemy masters watching, and Jiang Junming began to have nothing to do.
As a result, Jiang Junming began to ponder some modern rules and regulations that would be needed when the temple was built and used as a hospital. For example, registration, for example, triage. Jiang Junming pondered wildly, and when these things became facts, he didn't know what year it would take. In this era, I can only do these things under the banner of caring for the goddess, and I can't be too public.
One day, when Jiang Junming was pondering the registration system, Sula suddenly ran in and said to Jiang Junming: "Brother Junming, there is a priest looking for you, saying that it is Raphael. β
Priest Raphael?Jiang Junming stood up immediately after hearing this name, and walked quickly to the door to greet him. It seems that he is still in front of him that night, when Officer Raphael was assassinated, he was bloodied and was revived by himself with thoracostomy drainage.
Why is he here! Jiang Junming was surprised and delighted. A strong nostalgia appeared in my heart.
Walking to the door, Jiang Junming saw Priest Raphael standing at the door with some restraint. The courtyard is very dilapidated, although Tirida said that she would help Jiang Junming repair the courtyard wall during these days. But Jiang Junming felt that it was too troublesome, anyway, the new temple would be built soon, and there was no need to toss back and forth here.
Priest Raphael stood outside the dilapidated courtyard, watching Jiang Junming stride over, and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
When he left Moonlight City, Jiang Junming was very thin and looked like a child. At the time, Raphael was worried about whether he would be able to gain a foothold in the Church College in Twilight. After all, there is not even a single one in Twilight. Unlike other children, they all have their own church shrines here.
But what they didn't expect was that Chaados and Aride were kicked back after the re-examination at the church college, while the junior apprentice of the herb shop stayed. Raphael's priest knew Jiang Junming's news bit by bit. Not much is said about him, for the merchants seldom go to the slums. Priest Raphael occasionally prayed in front of the statue of the goddess of care every day, and would think of Jiang Junming, and think of this little guy who practiced herbs in the wilderness.
Not knowing what happened to him in Twilight, Priest Raphael has always been convinced that he made the right choice. It is the guidance of the goddess of care for herself.
The other day. The miracles that happened at the Temple of the Goddess of Care in Twilight City were widely praised, and even in a small place like Moonlight City, Priest Raphael had heard about Jiang Junming.
Priest Raphael was relieved to know that the scene he saw when he was dying that day was not wrong, and that it was indeed the guidance given to him by the goddess. And now, Priest Raphael watched Jiang Junming stride towards him, taller and more mature than a few months ago. This kid ...... He grew up.
Jiang Junming met with Priest Raphael. I also sighed inexplicably. I happened to meet him that day, and risked being used as a necromancer to heal Raphael. What I didn't expect was. I embarked on a path I never thought of. Treating diseases and saving people is no different from my original intention. But if he hadn't recommended himself to study at the Church Academy, he would still be in the herbal medicine shop in Moonlight City by now, and the light brain wouldn't have obtained so much "high-quality energy" to transform his body.
In just a few months, Jiang Junming has changed from an apprentice in a herb shop from a small city to a teenager who cares about the goddess's favor, a priest shrouded in miracles, this change is almost earth-shattering, although Raphael Priest has always thought that Jiang Junming is the goddess's guide from the very beginning, and let himself meet the person who can change the care of the church. But in such a short period of time, Jiang Junming has done so much, which is something that Raphael Priest would not dare to imagine in any case.
Because there will be miracles in the Caring Church in Twilight City, and even the Gate of the Kingdom of God appeared, the news reached Moonlight City, and the status of the Caring Church in Moonlight City has also become higher, and the number of believers who come to the temple to care for the goddess to pray has also increased, and the entire Caring Church has begun to flourish during this time.
This is all due to Jiang Junming. Priest Raphael didn't doubt his choice at all, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
"Junming!" Seeing that Jiang Junming had grown a lot in the past few months, Priest Raphael called out in a low voice.
"Priest Raphael!" Jiang Junming came to Raphael's face, first respectfully applied a priest's etiquette to Raphael, and then gave Raphael a firm hug.
"You've grown up. Priest Raphael also said with some emotion. I didn't expect this young man who had met a few times to be so enthusiastic about himself after breaking out of his own world in Twilight City, as if he had known him for many years and reunited after a long absence. In fact, the two of them can't say anything about each other, and the words they say add up to only ten sentences.
Jiang Junming stood in front of Raphael with a smirk, and then said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"......" Priest Raphael saw Jiang Junming's warm face and a bright smile on his face, and suddenly fell into a trance.
I heard that there was a miracle when Jiang Junming made the statue of the goddess and the holy emblem, and the Raphael priest wanted to find Jiang Junming to return to Moonlight City to make a statue of the goddess of care. He didn't think that Jiang Junming would have a miracle every time he made the statue of the goddess, but the statue of the goddess of care in Moonlight City was too vague, and he still didn't know what the goddess of care looked like. As a devout priest, Raphael found this to be a pardon.
Moreover, the statue of the new goddess of care was made by the young priest of the goddess of care in Twilight City. It will definitely attract more believers and make the care church develop rapidly.
Before coming, Priest Raphael also thought about whether Jiang Junming could promise himself now that his status was high. But seeing that Jiang Junming still treated him like when he was in Moonlight City in the past, this apprehension was gone, but what should I say? I heard that you can make a goddess statue and a holy emblem. I'm coming to you instead of coming to see him? It's a bit too utilitarian, isn't it? Utilitarianism is nothing, but in front of Jiang Junming's sincere face, Raphael Priest is ashamed to say this.
Priest Raphael was stunned. Jiang Junming said with a smile: "Look, I am also happy to be stupid when I patronize and talk to you." Let's go and talk in the temple. β
After speaking. Jiang Junming pulled Priest Raphael into the temple. While walking. Jiang Junming said: "A few days ago, Twilight City encountered a demonic siege, and the temple became like this during the demonic siege. But rest assured, an alchemist who is well-versed in architecture says that the temple is still strong and will not collapse. β
"Ah......" Priest Raphael didn't expect Jiang Junming to sound so beautiful, but he lived in this kind of place that was not as good as the caring church in Moonlight City.
"A new temple is being built, I'll take you around in a moment. Jiang Junming continued.
When the two of them walked into the temple of the goddess of care. Priest Raphael stood in the doorway at once, like a wooden carving. The whole person is stupid.
In Moonlight City, I heard that the junior apprentice of the wilderness herb shop became famous in Twilight City, and even when the statue of the goddess came out, a miracle appeared, and even the gate of the kingdom of God appeared above the temple. Raphael priests also guessed countless times what the statue of the goddess and the holy emblem that Jiang Junming made out of ZuΓ² looked like. I thought about it thousands of times, countless kinds, but when he really saw it, the whole person was not excited, excited, adoring, and high-spirited, and a deep numb feeling completely diffused in Raphael's body.
Looking at the statue of the goddess and the emblem in a daze, Raphael was confused. In particular, the statue of the goddess of care made him feel incredible. A faint white light radiates from the statue of the goddess and the emblem, setting off the sacredness of the idol and the emblem.
The three rounds of crescent moon of the Holy Emblem are like a magical hand traveling through time and space to take off the three rounds of crescent moon at different times and cast them into the Holy Emblem. Every detail is delicate and realistic, and together it is quietly natural, and the fineness and wonderful feeling in the middle make people unable to extricate themselves. It is supposed to be a work of art placed in a palace, not like a holy emblem for worshippers.
What made Raphael even more incapable of looking directly at the goddess was the statue of the goddess of care. The face of the goddess of care in Moonlight City is blurred, and it has been like that since the first time Raphael saw the statue of the goddess. As a senior priest who cares about the church, he doesn't know what the god of his faith looks like, and this ridiculous feeling has always been with Raphael's heart.
Could it be that the goddess of care looks like this? Raphael looked at it in a stunned state for a long time.
Jiang Junming was also a little apprehensive and asked, "Do you think the statue carved is still quite similar?"
"Huh?" said Raphael unconsciously as a sergeant.
"Uh...... I mean, do you think the statue of the goddess of care is still carved?" Jiang Junming asked, "Have you ever seen a statue of the goddess of care with a clear face?"
"I ...... I don't know. Raphael muttered, "But why do you carve it like that?"
"This is what Elaine, the priest of the church in Twilight, told me. Jiang Junming said: "Actually, she didn't say what it should be, the statue of the goddess she made with her own hand was broken when the demons attacked the city, but even if it wasn't damaged, she couldn't see what the goddess looked like." She said, let me do what I think in my heart, that is the guidance of the goddess of care. So when I was making the statue of the goddess, I didn't think too much about it, and I did it according to the guidance of the goddess. β
It turns out that this is the way it is, and it turns out that the appearance of the goddess of care is like this. Priest Raphael suddenly remembered how disrespectful it was that he had walked into the temple and had forgotten to worship the goddess of care. Thinking of this, Priest Raphael quickly knelt down and began to pray sincerely.
Jiang Junming guessed that Raphael would do this, so he quietly knelt down in front of the statue of the goddess of care and began to pray together.
After a long time, Jiang Junming said: "Priest Raphael, you are tired of running all the way. Why don't we go to dinner first?"
For the first time, Raphael, who was immersed in prayer, felt that the goddess of care was on his side, and he had a wonderful feeling that the goddess could hear every prayer, and heard it very clearly, and responded intermittently.
Maybe it was his own delusion, but Raphael was convinced that it was the goddess of care who responded. I vaguely felt that the divine power was diffused around me, and in the divine power, it seemed that there was an invisible hand, lovingly caressing my head, guiding myself in the material world and pointing out the direction for myself.
Raphael forgot about the time, immersed in a feeling of joy and well-being, and a faint joy and joy flowed in his heart. It wasn't until Jiang Junming's words that he interrupted Priest Raphael's prayer and pulled him back. (To be continued......)
