After living in Jiangning for decades, Duan Tiande felt that the Qinhuai River was beautiful for the first time. This feeling made him feel something wrong, but staring at the shimmering Qinhuai River, Duan Tiande found that he was right. The water in the two hundred meters wide river was very clear and the water level was quite high. What was coming to his face was not the temperature mixed with thick soil and the smell of the highest taste from the forty-meter-wide Qinhuai River, but the refreshing smell similar to the wide water surface of the lake.

In addition to these, there are new bridges towering high on the river. Duan Tiande walked through these bridges like the people of Jiangning City. The wide bridge deck could easily pass through even heavy ox carts. No matter how people ran or jumped on it, the bridge remained motionless. Thinking back to the shock he was when he walked across the bridge, Duan Tiande felt sad again.

This year, the Duan family is about to split up. The tenants ran away a lot. Duan Tiande hoped that they would all die on the road to Henan, or die of starvation in Henan. After these unscrupulous tenants left with their families, the landlords suffered a heavy blow. Their even piece of land had to be abandoned. Although some people tried to use the model of throwing seeds, they encountered a problem, that is, there was no manpower to plow the land. The seeds scattered on the ground were eaten by birds or field mice, and there were few crops that could grow.

In order to avoid fines, the landlords sold land again. Seeing that the family was completely unable to deal with the situation, the Duan family had to face the ending of the division.

Perhaps because he had heartache too many times, Duan Tiande felt that he did not feel particularly painful at this time, and even felt a little relaxed in relief. If the Duan family disintegrated as a family, Duan Tiande could probably sell all the land under his name and move the whole family to Jiangning City to live a more relaxed life.

With the financial resources of the Duan family, it is easy to live in Jiangning City. If you deposit the money in the imperial bank, you can get interest. More than 3,000 acres of land can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. For the Duan Tiande family, this money is enough to make the family live a good life and even let everyone in the family open some shops.

"Brother Duan. I'm here." A shout woke Duan Tiande up from his meditation. He turned his head and saw that it was Mr. Lu who had made an appointment to see the scenery.

The servants of Duan Tiande's family brought two horse stools, and sat down on the two horse stools. After giving up the smoke, Duan Tiande asked, "Is your family good?"

"What's the point? Everyone in the family is clamoring to split up." Mr. Lu sighed.

Duan Tiande didn't say anything. When he heard that other families were also miserable, he felt that it was pretty good. At least it was not the only clan leader Duan Tiande who was not well-managed.

"I heard that Mr. Li believed in the Ming Cult." Mr. Lu whispered: "Now Mr. Li started chanting scriptures as long as he had time, waiting for the decisive battle moment."

"Oh." Duan Tiande responded casually. He didn't know the origin of the Ming Cult, so naturally he didn't know what this decisive moment meant.

Ming Cult was a religion established by Manes, a Persian man in the third century, who combined the ancient Persian Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Buddhist thoughts. Its doctrine is based on the dualism of good and evil in Zoroastrianism, and summarizes all phenomena into good and evil, good as light, evil as darkness, and light will definitely defeat darkness. If humans follow the truth of religion and the ambition of God, they will eventually go to the world of light and bliss; and since time immemorial, the light and darkness intersect, and the demons are constantly in the dark world, causing the world to be confused today. Therefore, people should work hard to be good to create a bright world. This religion is also known as Ming Cult.

This view of duality and opposition has led to the Ming Cult's worldview. Ming Cult has believed that "now is a dark world" and that the decisive battle between light and darkness is coming. Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, Ming Cult often rebeled.

Looking at the beautiful river, Duan Tiande said, "I heard that Mr. Qian believed in Nestorians. He also looked forward to the arrival of the Four Knights of Apocalypse every day. It seems to be like the White Lotus Sect."

"I don't know about this. Maybe the same." Mr. Lu replied with a sad face.

If Qian Manwai, who was chanting scriptures, heard his friend say this, he would immediately object. In the eyes of Nestorians, Nestorians originating from Jerusalem and the Ming dynasty in Persia were not the same thing. The Four Knights of Apocalypse are much more powerful than any bullshit dark demon.

The Ming Cult believes that the destruction of light is the demon, and the Cross Cult believes that the destruction of the world is not the demon, nor is it evil. The creation of the world is God, and destroying the world is naturally a powerful existence like God.

The Nestorian priest stood in front of a relatively tattered cross flag, holding a thick old book and chanting:

At the end of the world, the Lamb will untie the seven seals of the book, and call the knights riding four horses, white, red, black and green, to bring war, famine, plague and death to the human beings who are finally judged. At that time, the world will be out of order, and the sun and the moon will change color, and then the destruction of the world will be brought.

When I saw the Lamb unveil the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures, and his voice was like thunder, saying, Come on.

I saw a white horse riding on the horse with a bow and a crown given to him. He came out and won and won again.

When the second seal was revealed, I heard the second living creature say, come on.

Then another horse came out, which was red. He had authority to give the horse rider, and could take peace from the ground and make people kill each other. Another big knife was given to him.

When the third seal was revealed, I heard the third living creature say, come on.

I watched and saw a dark horse riding on the horse holding a balance. I heard a voice among the four living creatures saying, "Buy one liter of wheat for one ounce of silver, and buy three liters of barley for one ounce of silver. Oil and wine should not be ruined."

When the fourth seal was unveiled, I heard the fourth living creature say, come on.

I watched and saw a miserable green horse. The one riding on the horse was called Death. The underworld also followed him.

They have the authority to kill one quarter of the earth with swords, famines, plagues, wild animals.

...

Listening to such a detailed description, Qian Yuanwai and other believers followed the priests to chant the verses of the Cross religion. The description of destroying the world made Qian Yuanwai feel his hair stand up, and another burst of joy filled his heart.

Destroy this dark, cruel and shameless world. Qian Yuanwai prayed in his heart that God in heaven will destroy this unjust country on earth, and let the four knights destroy Zhao Jiaren, who was doing the opposite, and his men first.

After telling the scriptures, the priest said in a long-trained and mellow voice: "My dear fellow believers, this world will be destroyed by God, this is destiny and the time for us to be saved. If this world lasts forever, then those who do evil will never be truly punished. Therefore, this world must be destroyed. But God is just and merciful. The end of the world is not the end. On the day of Judgment, all living and dead will be judged by God. Some go to heaven, some go to hell. And God will create a paradise that belongs to our believers, and all believers will enjoy eternal peace and tranquility in it..."

After hearing this, Qian Yuanwai felt joy in his heart, as if all his worries had temporarily subsided. At this time, someone asked: "When the Four Horsemen destroyed the world, were one-quarter of the people killed who were now powerful?"

"Of course! Of course! They do not believe in God, and they do not allow others to believe in God. They will definitely be killed." The priest said loudly. After expressing his opinion, the priest sang a passage of scripture again.

"The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are very serious, and the Śrāvah was heard from me. I will go down now and see what they do, and it is true that they are like the sound that reaches my ears? If not, I will know too." Abraham came closer and said, "Will you wipe out whether good or evil? If there are fifty righteous people in that city, do you still wipe out that place? Do you not forgive the fifty righteous people in the city? Kill the righteous and the wicked and treat the righteous and the wicked, and this is not what you do. Wouldn't judge the Lord of the whole earth do it?

Justice?” said the LORD, “If I see fifty righteous men in the city of Sodom, I will forgive all the people in that place for their sake.” Abraham said, “Although I am dusty, I dare to speak to the Lord. If these fifty righteous men were shortened, would you destroy the whole city because of five shortened?" He said, “If I see forty-five there, I will not destroy the city.” Abraham said to him again, “What if there were forty-five people there?” He said, “I will not do this for the sake of these forty.”

...

This passage is very long and very repetitive. The priest finished reading it. After reading it, he said, "God is tolerant, don't be afraid, your family will be saved because of your piety..."

After talking about the scriptures for a whole afternoon, the lecture meeting ended. Qian Manwai and others sent some money for indulgence and oil before leaving. Looking at the backs of those people, the priests packed up the tables and chairs in the house, put away the hanging cross flags, changed their clothes, and swept the floor. Then they walked out.

After a lot of experience, I went around a few places and confirmed that no one was following me. The priest walked along a small path into a place. It turned out to be a garden with a pavilion inside, which was very elegant. At this time, someone was sitting in the pavilion. The priest walked to the person and sat down. Then he said, "Hello, Section Chief Sun." While saying that, he took out an envelope from his pocket.

Section Chief Sun opened it and saw a list and introduction. Those who joined the Nestorians and their various tendencies were written clearly on it. After a brief look, Section Chief Sun put away the envelope and stood up.

"Secretary Sun, after we have made contributions, can we open a temple to recruit people?" the priest asked quickly.

"That depends on your own performance." Section Chief Sun said calmly.

"We are the Eastern Reason, and the Pope is appointed by the Emperor. Without the Emperor, there will be no Jehovah. This is our creed. Please trust us no matter what, Section Chief Sun."
