Chapter 26 Shaken faith, the true meaning of preaching!
"I'm going to vomit."
Dozens of bloody eyeballs were placed on the tray. Yevgeny could no longer control his turbulent stomach, turned his head and vomited out.
The crowd was screaming in fear, and their faces were all ugly. It would be too shameful to dig out dozens of eyeballs from one person. No matter how strong your endurance is, you will still feel sick at this moment.
clatter!
The blood-stained dagger fell to the ground, and Wizard Meda panicked a little. Landmere's eyes grew again, staring straight at him.
Death is the perpetrator's biggest source of confidence. If there is no death, the perpetrator's cruel methods will be repaid sooner or later.
At this moment, Wizard Meda had this fear.
He punishes believers in the name of God. The punishment imposed on Landmere should be God's will, but what about the other way around?
It is also God’s will!
But Landmere joined the Church of Truth and became a heretic!
Protect him...
Which god is it?
The Meda wizard's body trembled. He punished Landmere in the name of Mictcasivatl, the god of death. Now that Landemir's limbs are regenerated and unable to die, doesn't it mean that Mictcasihuatl's power
Not as good as the goddess of truth?
Who is the God of Death?
If Mictakasihuatl couldn't control death... what would the believers think?
Wizard Meda panicked. His mission today was just to attract the attention of the Church of Truth so that other wizards could sneak into the church and cause trouble. Now it's fine...
The home is gone!
what is this?
House-changing tactic?
Turning his eyes, Meda wizard, knowing that he could not let the situation continue to get out of control, suddenly pointed at Goncharov and others and shouted loudly.
The crowd gradually became quiet, and countless glances came to him. Adan quickly translated: "Wizard Meda said that we are the incarnations of the white devil. Only by killing us can the gift of Micott Kasihuatl continue to come..."
"Who would believe such a ridiculous excuse? Isn't this treating the masses as fools?"
Before he finished speaking, Urmit felt that the eyes from all around were not friendly. Because of the high salary, the crowd had changed their view of them, but the white devil obviously reminded the Aztecs of two hundred years ago.
The situation is an unforgettable hatred!
Wizard Meda was still talking loudly, and Adan was also translating quickly:
"He said that we are like the white devil two hundred years ago, buying people's hearts with benefits, and once we gain a foothold, we will massacre them..."
This seemingly retarded remark had a remarkable effect. Inciting national sentiment is often a very effective method, but Goncharov did not panic at all. Facing the approaching crowd, he patted Adan on the shoulder and spoke.
Said: "Why should we put the blame on us?"
Through Adam’s translation, everyone can understand Goncharov’s response:
"Everyone, isn't tonight the trial held by Meda Wizard against Landmere in the name of the God of Death?"
"I think everyone has seen the results of the trial. Here I would like to ask Wizard Meda, is it because you resorted to lynching in the name of the God of Death, and was abandoned by the God, or is it because the power of the Goddess of Truth is stronger than the God of Death, Mictakasi?
Where is Vattel?”
"No! It's you white devils who interfered with the power of the God of Death!" Meda wizard roared angrily.
"But you said we are white devils. If we are devils, wouldn't the goddess of truth also be a devil?"
Wizard Meda did not expect Goncharov to come to his door, and said quickly: "That's right! The goddess of truth must be the devil in disguise!"
"Since the Goddess of Truth is a devil, the question arises. Is the devil who can interfere with Mictakasihuatl's divine power more powerful than Mictikasihuatl?"
Goncharov shrugged: "You said it yourself, the white devil interferes with the power of God."
Wizard Meda's expression changed, and before he could refute, he heard Goncharov say: "First you said that we are white devils, interfering with the power of God, and then you said that Mictakasihuatl is more powerful than us. This
The inconsistent arguments are simply untenable. Wizard Meda, as the spokesperson of God, you are too incompetent."
"This is the devil's temptation! Don't listen to him! Kill them quickly!"
The Meda wizard jumped up in anger and began to order the crowd of onlookers, hoping to use the people's anger to resist Goncharov. As long as the crowd takes action, no matter how Goncharov responds, he will be the victor!
"Everyone!"
Goncharov raised his arm and asked everyone to pay attention to him: "Perhaps you don't know that Micott Kasihuatl and the goddess of truth are very good friends. They know each other, have a good personal relationship, and are in the same community.
god!"
"If you understand the teachings of the Church of Truth, you will understand that the Goddess of Truth does not have the power to control life and death! At least not yet!"
"How can a god who does not have the power to control life and death interfere with the trial of the Meda wizard?"
Sighing, Goncharov showed a very heartbroken look: "This trial is not the will of Micott Kasihuatl at all! What a kind God of Death Miko Kasihuatl is! How could it be because believers have defected to other churches?
And how about killing him with cruel means?"
"As residents of Stone Street, don't you know that Sorcerer Meda wants Josephina to be his psychic? This is not God's will at all! It's because he fell in love with Josephina's beauty! It's a pretense
In the name of God, you want to possess Josephina’s body! This is blasphemous to the majesty of God!”
"If Sorcerer Meda hadn't committed blasphemy, how could Landmere be forced to surrender to the Church of Truth? Tonight's trial is the response of Micott Kasihuatl! The God of Death does not allow Sorcerer Meda to kill Landmere! This
This is God’s will!”
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Wizard Meda was sweating on his forehead and shouted repeatedly: "Kill them quickly!"
However, the crowd hesitated, did not step forward, and began to doubt their previous judgment.
"Why do we set foot on this land?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Goncharov continued:
"Wizard Meda thinks we are white demons. This is his subjective judgment! Because he is afraid! He is afraid!"
"He knows that we are the helpers invited by Micott Kasihuatl! Yes, because of the corruption of God's spokesperson, Mikut Kasihuatl is unable to convey his meaning to you, so he entrusted us, the Church of Truth, to correct it here.
!”
"Magic Meda is afraid that our arrival will shake his position, because without us, what he says is God's will!"
"Everyone, please think about it carefully. Which great god would allow his spokesperson to wantonly defile the bodies of believers?"
"Which great god would wantonly kill his followers because they committed a small, completely forgivable sin?"
"I miss my hometown and my relatives just like you! How could I be here if it weren't for this group of wizards who pretend to spread the will of God!"
The indignant words seemed to stir up unbearable memories for the masses.
Just like they remember the atrocities committed by white people on this land two hundred years ago, they also remember what the wizards did!
Wizard Meda's face was ashen and his eyes were full of fear. Looking at the people who cast angry glances at him, he felt a sense of despair in his heart.
How he hoped that the miracle of Miket Kasihuatl would come!
Why didn’t their god respond!
Goncharov is right, he has been pretending to convey God's will. If he didn't do this, how could people believe in him?
The lack of miracles is his biggest weakness, and Goncharov noticed it...
The angry people rushed to the altar, grabbed the Meda wizard, and vented all the fear and anger they had accumulated over the years.
The screams of Sorcerer Meda echoed in the night sky. Goncharov asked Kurt to release the realm of immortality and used Sorcerer Meda's death to strengthen the legitimacy of his words.
"Bishop, how could they... listen to you?"
Yevgeny was very puzzled. They were outsiders and should have been hated by the Aztecs. However, Goncharov only used a sacrifice and a few words to incite the crowd to kill his wizard...
This is incredible!
"What is the Church, Yevgeny?"
"The church is the church!"
Goncharov shook his head slowly: "The church is a tool for spreading ideas. As long as ideas are involved, there must be subjective and objective distinctions."
"The Aztecs' belief in the gods comes from their inheritance. This is thought, not only individual thought, but also group thought. Individual thought is easy to overturn, but group thought is difficult to overturn."
Picking up a stone, Goncharov said: "You think this is a stone, and Urmit also thinks it is a stone, but is it really a stone? Can I say it is a cow? A
sheep?"
"I can change your cognition, but it is difficult to change the established cognition of a group of people. This is because when you are alone, you cannot prove your judgment, but when you and others have the same idea, you can use other people to strengthen it.
One’s own knowledge, so that one can have no doubt about it.”
Throwing away the pebbles, Goncharov said calmly: "Human beings are social creatures, and all their cognitions come from subtle imitation."
Yevgeny nodded thoughtfully: "So if we want to develop in the Aztec Empire, we can't overthrow their beliefs, but integrate into them?"
"Yes."
"But why do they believe us?"
Glancing at the people on the altar who were still venting their anger, Yevgeny asked: "What we said is actually more effective than Wizard Meda? We have only been here not long!"
"Why do you think people join churches and believe in gods?"
"Because everyone else has joined?"
"No, because joining the church is good for you."
Goncharov said expressionlessly: "This is a very real problem. People set up families to fight loneliness, and believe in gods to relieve sin. These are all for themselves."
"Why is the Church of Truth able to respond to hundreds of requests in the Romanov Kingdom?"
"Because the Church of Truth has grasped the needs of the people, people will actively do things that are good for themselves, either to satisfy the spirit or to satisfy the material. If it can provide spiritual comfort while satisfying the material, then people will definitely fall into madness."
Under Yevgeny's slightly dull eyes, Goncharov continued: "This is the essence of the success of the Church of Truth, and I took advantage of this."
"In the past half month, we have delivered substantial benefits to the people in the city, which made them hesitate when faced with the instigation of Meda Wizard because they did not want to give up money that could improve their lives."
"Money is a material need, and faith gives them spiritual needs. When material needs conflict with spiritual needs, the most difficult thing to deal with is actually the material needs, which requires you to give substantial feedback. This was also the face of the rise of the Truth Church.
The greatest difficulty, Pope Marvelous solved this contradiction with revolution."
"When the party providing material needs needs to solve spiritual needs, it only needs to provide spiritual paralysis. For example, I used some unwise remarks to combine the faith of the Aztecs with the Church of Truth."
Goncharov clasped his hands behind his back and spoke calmly: "Many times, you only need to give an excuse, a reason, and people who face the choice will convince themselves."
Hearing this, Yevgeny shook his body and turned pale: "Could it be... is the so-called truth just paralyzing the people?"
"What are you talking about?"
Goncharov frowned: "What I just said is the difficulty most people face when they make a choice. It is human nature! When the Church of Truth launched the revolution, many nobles participated. Why did they want to revolutionize their own lives? This is also
human nature!"
"Human nature has both darkness and brilliance, but most of the time it is darkness, material, and realistic! Darkness may not be able to give birth to brilliance, and brilliance may not be able to turn into darkness!"
"What we do is to promote the truth and at the same time provide the soil for the incubation of the truth! Discover the glorious side of human nature!"
Yevgeny regained some of his color, and then Urmit asked curiously: "Bishop, where did you know this?"
"It's all what Pope Marvel said."
Goncharov smiled: "I think he is the only one who is willing to tell us the true meaning of success. This is also his greatness. What he tells us is not only the essence, but also the truth!"
As he spoke, Goncharov suddenly looked worried and murmured: "What Pope Marvey told us can be used not only to pursue the truth, but also to pursue fame and fortune. It is a double-edged sword... I hope
Don't let anyone listen to you, otherwise it will be a disaster."
"What did you say, Bishop?" Ulmit didn't hear clearly.
"fine."
Goncharov took a deep breath and smiled again: "As long as Pope Marvel is here, the truth cannot be shaken. As long as he is here, no matter what happens, it can bring order to chaos!"
A cat jumped down from the roof, came to Dorothy and meowed several times. After listening, Dorothy turned to look at Goncharov: "Something happened over there in the church!"
"It seems that what I expected was right..."
Goncharov lowered his gaze: "The living sacrifices on Stone Street are just bait, the real target of the wizard is the church!"
"Let's go! Take Landmere with you, let's go back!"
