Not only Quintus, but also priests in other villages encountered the same dilemma during this time.
Although they tried their best to instill the benevolence of the goddess and the hypocrisy of Saturday into the believers, when the Shuangxiu Church started preaching again, a large number of villagers were still attracted.
Among them are not only those who have been swaying before, but also many devout believers in Bisiya.
Now they have all betrayed the goddess.
No matter how hard Quintus and others tried to dissuade them, the villagers were still stubborn and determined to listen to the monks from Shuangxiu Cult about their "Land of Gods".
The priests of the Silver Moon Church just hugged the thighs of the believers and told them not to go. Unfortunately, they had little effect. Even some elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet were supported on crutches and trembling.
I also want to listen to the Shuangxiujiao sermon.
Quintus was worried that something might happen to them along the way.
Seeing that their good words and persuasion were of no use, some young and energetic priests were forced to frighten the villagers with things like condemnation and divine punishment.
However, it has achieved some results. There are fewer people in their village going to listen to Shuangxiu Sect's preaching.
But experienced and far-sighted priests like Quintus knew that this method was just drinking poison to quench thirst, because the people who came to listen to the lecture were not just people from one or two villages.
Once those who are frightened by divine punishment find that nothing happens to those who attend the lecture, the awe of Pisiya in their hearts will soon disappear, and more serious beliefs will collapse along with it.
So this approach is not advisable.
But Quintus didn't want to just admit defeat. If it was a competition of eloquence and he was defeated openly in the debate, then he would have nothing to say.
But this is nothing now. The Shuangxiujiao relies on the almost cheating method of giving small gifts to attract people to listen to their preaching. This kind of thing simply refreshes Quintus's cognition. It is too despicable and insignificant.
Bottom line!
According to Quintus, preaching should be a sacred and pure thing.
It is spiritual enlightenment and the intersection of heart and heart, rather than picking things up in the market and swarming in wherever there is a bargain.

Quintus wanted to stand up and ask Li Yu, if he spends money to buy followers, he is not afraid that one day he will run out of money. Have all these believers run away?
People who gather together for profit cannot be reliable no matter how you think about it, right?
However, Quintus had to admit that at least for now, Li Yu's method was quite effective.
Now it seems that it is almost impossible to prevent those villagers from listening to Shuangxiujiao's sermons.
Quintus could only do the next best thing and tell the villagers that he could go, but don't listen to the nonsense of those monks. It was best to come back immediately after receiving the things.
If you get such things, you can still remain loyal to Pisiya.
As soon as his words came out, the villagers in the village were almost moved to tears. They didn't expect the goddess to be so kind. It didn't matter if she went to participate in the preaching activities held by pagans, their hearts still belonged to Pisiya!
Coupled with Priest Quintus's super personal charm, many villagers are still willing to obey his arrangements.
The originally unsolvable contradiction seemed to have been perfectly resolved.
Quintus even took the initiative to comfort the guilty villagers, telling them that every more thing they took from the Shuangxiujiao, the Shuangxiujiao would lose more money, further weakening the power of the heretics, so the villagers also
They all suddenly realized.
It turned out that he was not betraying the goddess, but was protecting the goddess and fighting the goddess's enemies through free prostitution, so everyone became more enthusiastic!
However, the Shuanghui Church quickly discovered this loophole and moved the distribution of things to after the sermon.
However, Quintus was well prepared. With a wave of his hand, he told the villagers to stay until the sermon was over and then come back. However, he still followed the old rules and only paid for free gifts without listening to the sermon.
You can use cloth strips to plug the ears of the monks who are on weekends during the sermon, so that as long as you sit until the sermon is over, you can still receive the things distributed by the monks on weekends.
When the villagers heard this, they clapped their hands and praised it, and even led villagers from other villages to follow suit.
But how could these simple aboriginal people on the continent of Bratis win over Li Yu, a modern man, in terms of small tricks in the classroom?
Li Yu changed the rules for handing out eggs again after realizing that someone was not paying attention.
After each sermon, the audience is required to answer three very simple basic questions in order to receive the gift of the day.
Not only that, Li Yu also added a question-and-answer section to his sermons. After explaining a section of doctrine, the preaching monks would randomly select villagers who came to listen to the lecture to ask questions.
If the villager can answer this question, he can receive an additional answering gift, and the value of the answering gift is higher than that of ordinary gifts.
Now no one would plug their ears when the monks who were on holiday preached.
Everyone is attentive and focused, for fear of missing a word. The learning atmosphere is better than the classroom learning atmosphere in 985.
Quintus really couldn't stand it now and couldn't even find an excuse to deceive himself.
Because he found that after the villagers came back, they would make up for each other's lessons, check for gaps, and review what they had heard today in case they couldn't answer the questions next time they were asked.
That is to say, the literacy rate on the continent of Bratis is too low, otherwise these villagers would not be able to keep all their study notes.
Quintus really felt helpless now and could only throw this problem back to the church.
In fact, the story of Li Yu pulling people's heads by handing out eggs reached the ears of the seven high priests from the first day, and their reactions were similar to Quintus's, they all looked shocked.
The high priest Kokoon became furious on the spot and angrily accused Li Yu of being despicable and shameless. He was not a prophet at all, but a profiteer who smelled of copper and should be hanged!
But scolding Li Yushuang for returning to peace would not solve any problems, especially now that everyone in Luye is busy listening to Shuangxiu Sect's sermons. If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer Pisiya believers.
Moreover, the power of the double break is so powerful. Since it works in the green field, it will certainly work in other places as well.
So after High Priest Kokoon finished cursing, someone suggested, "How about we give something to the believers? If we really want to compare with wealth, the Shuangxiu Cult can't compare to us."
But when he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
After a moment, High Priest Reeves took the lead and said, "No, the church has no such precedent at all."
The high priest of Gonaia also echoed, "You can't make such a bad start, it will cultivate greed in the hearts of the believers, and if we only give it to the believers in Green Field, what will the believers in other places think? Everyone.
What you said is unrealistic."
