The child asked the driver, "Auntie, does God really care about us?"
"Yes." The girl replied seriously: "If you are pious to God, God will not abandon you."
After hearing this, the child stopped talking. His head, which was terrifyingly big compared to his thin body, tilted slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The bullock cart fell silent. Although everyone had just eaten a bowl of salt porridge, it could not fill their stomachs that had been empty for months. They didn't even have the strength to speak now.
The wheels rolled forward, swaying, and many people fell asleep in a daze, only to be woken up by the cold wind of early winter.
When they woke up, the victims in the car suddenly felt a little confused, because the world in front of them was very different from before.
A gray flat road appeared ahead. After being soaked by the drizzle, it was wet and shining, as if it was a road leading to the heavenly palace.
Immediately afterwards, a tall city appeared at the end of the road. The gray city wall exuded an indescribable force of deterrence. Standing under the city wall, a weak human felt that he was terrifyingly small.
The ox cart paused for a moment under the city gate. After the girl driving the cart quickly completed the formalities for entering the city, she continued driving the ox cart into the city.
The city, which had just been washed away by heavy rain, was clean and bright, free from dust. There were many pedestrians on the road, busy coming and going, and there seemed to be no one idle.
They were wearing strange four-pocket tops and gray trousers. The open necklines of the tops revealed the turtleneck velvet sweaters that protected their necks. They looked very warm.
There are men and women walking around the city. Whether they are men or women, most of them have short hair, just like the girls driving the carriages. Their hair is shoulder-length, let down or tied up, and it doesn't get in the way.
We had seen Xu Jiajun with short hair on the Acropolis before, and the victims already felt that he was very different.
Now that we have arrived at the territory of Xu Jiajun, we realize that what is a male soldier with a shaved head?
There are still female soldiers with haircuts in this city!
Most of them are over 1.65 meters tall. Northland women are taller. These female soldiers are well-fed and well-nourished in the military camp. They have the same haircut as the male soldiers, wear armor, hold steel knives, and have an expression on their faces.
He is cold and seems to be more ruthless than the male soldiers.
The bulging muscle lines on his arms made the victims in the car stunned for a long time, unable to recover.
The driver girl smiled and explained to them: "These are the female soldiers of our female general's personal guard. They have been gifted by God and have practiced magic. They are extremely powerful and can lift thousands of pounds!"
The victims were stunned and hurriedly turned back to look at the few female soldiers passing by, as if they couldn't believe it.
At this time, a team pushing a bucket cart that looked like a wheelbarrow but had two wheels drove into the city.
Inside the cart, there are piles of bricks piled high, which are so heavy that most people without any skills can't push this big cart of bricks.
Unexpectedly, the leading man pushing the cart did not pay attention to the small pebbles on the road, and suddenly pushed over them, causing the wheels to shake violently.
Just when the whole truck of bricks was about to flip over to the ground along with everyone, the female soldier passing by the convoy suddenly stretched out her hand, pulled the truck body hard, and straightened the tilted truck of bricks and the man together.
"Ho!" The victims gasped and believed what the driver girl said.
The man who pulled the bricks looked normal, and gratefully bowed his hands to the female soldiers, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
"You're welcome." The female soldier clasped her fists neatly, turned around, and strode away.
The officers and soldiers of the Xu Family Army actually helped the people. The new victims were once again surprised.
They suddenly understood what Xu Jiajun meant when he shouted, "The Xu Jiajun are our people's own army."
It turns out that we, the common people, have our own army and will help the common people. Instead of using their power to oppress others and looking for various excuses to plunder and enrich their own pockets.
The bullock cart stopped in front of a building with a sun flag hanging on the roof. Seeing the glow on the flag, the driver girl let out a surprise.
"The goddess is here!" she cheered.
Sure enough, when the victims got out of the car and counted their number, three figures in white robes appeared in front of everyone.
The girl driving the carriage exclaimed again: "The leader is here too!"
leader?
Is she the female leader of the Xu family army?
Seeing the two young girls coming out of the house, the victims were surprised and a little confused - they didn't know who was the female leader.
However, as the sons of God inside and outside the church hugged their chests and saluted, and the two girls responded in return, the victims knew that the younger one was the female leader.
And that tall girl with a bright face is the goddess of the Church of Light.
The two sisters walked up, and the goddess looked at everyone with her compassionate eyes. Every victim she saw felt a beam of light light up in front of their eyes. Although it was only a moment of brilliance, it made them feel warm in their bodies.
The victims looked at the light dissipating from their bodies in surprise. They simply did not know at this moment that this was the "blessing of light" that the women and children in the church most wanted to receive.
The victims only felt that what the driver girl said was not an exaggeration and was true.
If these are not considered supernatural powers, then there will be no gods in this world.
"Goddess have mercy on me!"
The victims shouted in unison, imitating the postures of the sons of gods, crossing their chests and devoutly looking at the beautiful face of the goddess under the white robe.
Xu Erniang nodded slightly and raised her hand, "I, the followers of the Xu Jiajun, God has felt your piety, God will bless you, and you will be reborn under the leadership of the Xu Jiajun!"
Even though she had been used to seeing her sister's deceptive scenes many times, Xu Yue still trembled slightly in her heart every time she saw the eyes of the 'believers' lighting up.
The power of faith is really scary and tempting.
The goddess calmed people's hearts, and now it was finally the leader's turn to conclude.
Xu Yue stood up, and Xu Erniang and Shenzi all held their chests and bowed their heads slightly towards her, bowing respectfully.
Just this simple action can make the world understand that Xu Jiajun is the real messenger of God, and the church goddess is just sent by God to assist Xu Jiajun.
This move made Zhao Yuanji, who was standing half a step behind the sisters, his whole body covered in white robes with only his chin exposed, frown.
Xu Erniang now takes him with her every day and treats him very well - except not letting him leave her sight and playing music every night.
This gave Zhao Yuanji the illusion that he seemed to be recognized by Xu Jiajun, which gave him the idea of provoking a fight between Xu Yue and Xu Erniang.
Zhao Yuanji thought, now that the church is becoming more and more powerful, and the believers only recognize the goddess but not the leader, why not just let Xu Erniang be the leader of the Xu family army?
If Xu Erniang takes complete control of the Xu family army, maybe the two of them can work together to achieve something.
Unexpectedly, he had just told Xu Erniang that the church believers were now very powerful and had a tendency to surpass the Xu Jiajun themselves.
immediately!
Xu Erniang said thank you to him, and then issued a new oracle: All church believers will always follow God's will, assist Xu Jiajun forever, and have the mission of protecting the leader of Xu Jiajun! Until the last second of life!
The day after the oracle was promulgated, Zhao Yuanji felt that his old illness had relapsed. He had chest tightness and shortness of breath every day, his strength was getting worse day by day, and life was worse than death.
