People gather in this church from 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning because they will give food to every person coming in for a week, usually a small piece of rice cake and other cheap snacks, which naturally attracts a lot of them.
The poor and the ones who love to take advantage gather together.
There are also some decent dressed people who go directly to the church to worship, and they are all 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 people in Xia to worship God when they see God. Even though the rules of this foreign temple are different from other temples and they violate the laws of the ancestors, there are always poor people attracted by the welfare of the church and those who believe in the interests of foreign religions to join.
For example, those rogue gangsters in the town who are similar to Wang Ergou in Jiangmu Village are basically classified as foreign churches and become lackeys under the church. Under the banner of foreigners, even the local police were a little afraid for a moment.
No longer calling them around as before.
This is a practice that is common in various parts of the Xia Kingdom. Whenever foreigners go to open churches, they first gather these rogues, and then use this to open up the situation.
The rogues who tasted the sweetness naturally found a way to make a fortune, and they all converted to foreign religions as if they were the most devout believers.
Seeing this scene in front of the church, Mao Jiufang, as a practitioner of Middle-earth and descendant of the orthodox sect, naturally had a 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 the church. Now, after seeing it, there was indeed something wrong, and there was still a big problem!
Although this church has been built for a few years, its appearance gives people a sense of vicissitudes and gloom that has existed for decades. Combined with the cloudy days that have appeared in this world for many years, it is simply a horror movie.
The most suitable shooting scene.
It doesn't need to be redesigned for making a haunted house.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this church may just look a little dark and uncomfortable, but many temples will also give people a similar feeling, so no one said something was wrong.
He turned to Mao Jiufang and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Mao, is it the mayor here who said that the church was built here to suppress the evil position?"
When Mao Jiufang saw Gao Jingfei's expression was wrong, she hurriedly replied:
"That's right, this is what Mayor Hu told everyone at the beginning, so he received support from some people. Otherwise, the residents of Gantian Town would still be very resentful of building foreign temples!"
Gao Jingfei nodded when he heard this and said:
"It seems that the mayor has a problem. This foreign church is definitely not just here to preach. They are malicious!"
Mao Jiufang quickly asked:
"Have you found any problem with Fellow Daoist?"
"Hehe! If what I expected was right, these foreigners might be playing a big game of chess. Someone might be tampering with the church, polluting local spiritual energy and destroying Feng Shui and Earth Veins. This is to break the roots of my Middle Earth!"
Gao Jingfei sneered at the church coming and going in front of the door.
When Mao Jiufang heard this, she immediately became angry.
"This foreign devil is not dead in my heart to destroy China's Middle Earth!"
"In recent years, they can be seen not only in the coastal areas, but also inland and even in the border areas and grasslands. Many Xuanmen passages have been bullied and left behind for many years. The temple has been shrinking inward. Most of the governments do not do anything, and there is still a rebellion.
The corrupt officials and treacherous people who came here to help foreigners bully us, but they didn't expect that these foreigners would even secretly tamper with our Middle-earth land. If every foreign temple was..."
Mao Jiufang said that she didn't even dare to imagine it.
Several people stood in front of the church. Because they were dressed strangely and Mao Jiufang, a famous person in the town, had attracted the attention of many people. Although they could not hear the sound, when they saw Mao Jiufang's bad face, everyone was talking about it.
Many.
Even after discovering the situation outside inside the church, someone came out.
In fact, the church's presidency, Stefan Frick, did not want to come out. After all, he was just a small priest in the Holy Court.
It is definitely not his turn to be able to host such a large church in this busy commercial terminal in Gantian Town. It is estimated that the best result is to be assigned to remote and backward towns.
It was only when he opened up a new ranch in the Far East and the Holy Court that it was his turn, a priest who was born as the second son of a young nobleman who had little background, to come forward.
So he didn't want to have a conflict with people outside at this time. It would be fine if it was just Mao Jiufang, a pagan priest. He knew this person more well and was a gentleman, although he didn't know that Middle Earth had the allusion of "a gentleman could deceive him by the way"
, but he knew how to deal with such people, so it was easy to manipulate public opinion that Mao Jiufang had no excuse to attack the church.
But although he didn't know the truth, he also knew that he was very powerful and was not something he could fight against. Now the support from the Holy Court has not arrived yet. According to the letter from there, the person who just arrived in Xiangshan and got off the boat.
If you want to get to Gantian Town, which is far away inland, it will take ten days and half a month to walk on the water.
So he had to bite the bullet and plan to fool today. As long as he could delay the support, he would not be afraid!
In this way, Father Fosfan came forward and bowed and said:
"Master Mao, everyone, I don't know what I am doing in my church. Are you going to come to worship? The great Lord of Light welcomes all lost beings!"
Mao Jiufang frowned and was about to refute, but Gao Jingfei said:
"I am afraid that I will worship your God, your Lord of Light will not be able to bear it!"
Stefan Flick was shocked and angry, pointing at Gao Jingfei with disbelief and said:
"You, you are blasphemy. The great Lord of Light will surrender to you, a sinner, and you will go to hell to receive cruel punishment!"
Gao Jingfei snorted with disdain. Seeing that a lot of people watching had gathered, he deliberately said loudly:
"Who can't say anything that scares people? Let's take some practical things. What's wrong with you, the Lord of Light? If you have the ability, please let your God come and give me the punishment? Or can your holy court fight again?
A religious war won’t happen?”
Of course, it is not a big deal to watch the fun. When Mao Jiufang brought people to the church door before, many troublemakers had already run back to the town to pass messages and asked people to come and watch the fun. Now at least half of the people in the town are
They gathered with the merchants.
When Gao Jingfei finished speaking, the crowd immediately discussed, and some who had been in awe of the foreigners and gods also changed their minds suspiciously.
As the presiding priest, some people slandered his faith. If it were Europe, he would have incited his believers to crippled 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 had just stuck his weakness, so of course he had nothing to say.
There are indeed people in the holy court who can hold a ritual of divine descending to allow the great Lord of Light to descend or send God's envoys to earth.
But that is not something that can be done by individuals alone. It is estimated that many bishops cooperate with the archbishop to preside over the large-scale mass, and it is possible to rely on the power of many believers and churches. Even His Majesty the Pope, he probably has to rely on holy tools.
Only then can it be done.
And it is even more impossible for him to be an ordinary priest who is not even a bishop.
As for launching a religious war because the gods were blasphemed?
That would be even more joking.
Even the territory of the Holy Court has been deprived of by secular countries over the years, only the size of tofu is left. Their Holy Court may have a certain influence in the secular world, but it is not enough to promote a religious war, unless it matches a certain
The will of the great powers or most countries.
Even in addition to the initial Eastern Expedition, even the subsequent religious wars were more caused by secular interests. The name of religion only gave those monarchs and rulers a good excuse to start a war.
