Chapter 53: I am from the Religious Administration
On the cross, Changshan and Fakong no longer had the strength to make any sound. The pain from the soul was terrible. The pain could be felt very accurately, and even in which part of the place could be felt. At this time, Changshan almost fainted, but he could not faint no matter how hard he was.
At the same time, he clearly felt the great pain he was suffering in his mind, which made him feel that he had reached the cell level.
He now regretted it to the extreme. He had known that he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide. Compared with this, death is nothing.
At the same time, Fakong's face withered and his skin was already dry and cracked. This milky white flame was constantly burning his life force and his thoughts. He wanted to control his thoughts and rush out, break through the barriers of the universe and return to his body, but he could not break through the seal arranged outside the body.
The barriers of the universe are very hard and cannot be broken, but they are not a problem for him. Although he is just a deity's mind, he knows that there is a space crack leading to the outside of the universe. There are many space cracks in the universe, and some special cracks connect outside of the universe.
Fakong had lost his will to escape, and it was a joke just to escape from the bondage of this cross. The power he possessed at this time was not as good as an ordinary person, and he could not move all over his body, no different from that of a vegetable, except that he still had perception. Moreover, the power attached to the chain that bound him on this cross was also terrible.
The holy burial has ended. Under the instructions of Pope Zhang Xiaojian, the believers left the square one after another. The officials and the rich also went back. Everything they saw today will be unforgettable for their lives. God? This is a topic that has existed since ancient times. Today they witnessed the gods personally coming, descending miracles, and resurrecting the dead.
In the end, the god actually resurrected three dead believers, which made the rich and the officials think about whether to set up a statue of Tuluo when they go back to worship. There are many Tuluo temples in City H, and you can ask for a consecrated statue of the god from the temple.
There is a big gap between consecrated statues and unconsecrated statues. Unconsecrated statues need to be given a trace of holy power under long-term worship, thus creating a slight connection with the god Tuluo. The consecrated statues are shrouded under the holy light for a certain period of time, possessing the holy power and being connected with Tuluo. Tuluo can also be willing to descend on this consecrated statue.
Being shrouded by the holy light for a long time will drive away the illness and improve the physical condition.
...
Zhang Xiaojian looked at the huge statue and couldn't help but be happy. The biggest harvest of this holy funeral was his main soul, which was equivalent to himself. The crazy prayer of tens of thousands of believers, the power of faith produced was like a broad river, constantly heading towards the statue space, and finally entering Tuluo's virtual divine character.
This statue of god has also transformed its material under the overflowing power of faith. With the blessing of the power of faith and Tuluo's will, it has great power and can withstand the arrival of Tuluo's will. It is equivalent to an incarnation. If it wants to descend in the future, there is no need for such trouble. The will can directly descend on this statue.
In Zhang Xiaojian's eyes, with this statue as the center, a milky white and golden field enveloped the entire holy mountain, with a faint divine power in it. This is the realm of faith. In the realm of faith, the priest will have a bonus to the divine arts, and their strength will be improved by more than one level.
Once a person with disrespect enters, he will be suppressed by the entire field. The more pious a person believes, the less oppressive the feeling will be.
At this time, a voice appeared behind Zhang Xiaojian.
"There are people from the Religious Administration under the Pope's crown...please...please see!" A priest stood behind Zhang Xiaojian with a tangled look. He didn't know what to say. Because the holy burial was over, he was about to go down the mountain, but he met two people in front of the mountain gate. One of them was as powerful as a rainbow, while the other was an ordinary person, but he knew that the other party's identity was not simple.
The man with great momentum said to him disdainfully: "Let you... the highest person in charge of the organization come out and tell him that I am from the Religious Administration!"
The moment the other party finished speaking, the pastor ran back in a panic and reported the matter to the Pope.
Standing behind the Pope's crown, he didn't know what to say. The other party's words were really not very nice, so he had to reorganize the words himself.
Zhang Xiaojian was stunned, his divine thoughts covered the entire holy mountain. When he saw the two people in front of the mountain gate, he immediately knew the other person's identity and immediately sneered. One of them was a member of Group Z, and the other was a member of the Religious Administration Bureau that his priest mentioned.
Seeing that the two of them had a very obvious attitude, they wanted to go out to greet them and show that they were noble in their identities. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaojian sneered in his heart. These two people simply didn't regard their church as a matter for a while, thinking that their identities were really noble.
The pastor saw that the Pope's crown had not spoken for a long time, so he didn't know that the Pope didn't want to pay attention to the other party at all, so he asked the other party to wait in front of the mountain gate. When the other party's patience was worn out, he would naturally come in by himself.
Thinking of this, the pastor stepped down respectfully.
At this time, the Archbishop Li Liang, who was standing beside him, leaned over and said easily: "It is probably not good if the Crown Prince said this! After all, the other party was sent by the state, and treating him so neglectedly may be detrimental to the church."
Zhang Xiaojian's tone was plain, and he seemed to not take this seriously at all. "The other party cannot decide what. What can be determined is the top. You should know that the church needs to develop and will definitely be connected and confronted with the government, and even in the end, it will stand in an opposition."
"This..." Li Liang knew that the Pope's Crown was right, but he didn't want to believe that the power of a country is so powerful that the church is just a kitten in front of it. The country does not need much effort to build the church into a bottomless abyss, although there are gods behind the church.
But will the gods really come to help the church fight in person? In Li Liang's opinion, this should be impossible. God is noble, how can he care about the affairs of ants? Even if the church is destroyed in the end, he will only build one again. It will take more time.
Zhang Xiaojian saw Li Liang's concerns and knew in his heart that if it were other gods, he would have to think a lot like Li Liang, but the main soul behind him was the main soul. Although he didn't know much about the main soul's character, he knew that the main soul would never give up on the church and put his own interests first, so he could be 100% sure that the main soul would definitely take action in the end.
Of course, even without the help of the main soul, Zhang Xiaojian has a way. Moreover, this time he recruited the Wang family to deal with the country and gain more time for the church to develop. What is missing now is the foundation. Once the foundation is enough, no one can stop the church's pace.
"No need to think too much. Our church will inevitably touch the interests of the top leaders of the country, and no one will bite their cake. What's more, the current church's expansion speed and development believers can worry people." Zhang Xiaojian directly said the most critical point.
After hearing this, Li Liang stopped talking. Hearing the Pope's words made him realize that the church had touched the interests of others, and this was already in opposition. How powerful is religion's influence in a country? Once the number of believers is too large, it will eventually be enough to fight against the ruler's rule. This is not allowed for the top leaders of a country, especially in this era.
This destined that the church and the country cannot stand at the same time, and the government of the country can only allow religions under its own control, and once uncontrolled religions are suppressed and destroyed.
...
"Damn it!" Long Xiang cursed angrily. He waited in front of the mountain gate for a long time. He calculated carefully and had at least an hour, but no one sent him out. Even if someone came out, he ignored him.
"I really don't know what's wrong!"
At this time, Long Xiang no longer had any patience to wait. Under the fierce sun, even if he was a psychic, he felt a little uncomfortable. "Minister Yun, let's go in and see what this cult is doing!"
Yun Qian is a minister of the Religious Administration. He is about fifty years old this year. Among the many officials, he is still young, which is also his honor. The reason why he can climb to this position step by step is because of his smooth manners.
Yun Qian was impatient when he saw Long Xiang, and hurriedly said, "This cult really deserves to be punished. Don't worry, sir, I have received the order. As long as the other party does not accept the arrangements of the country, he will be labeled as a cult and send someone to razor it!"
"Really?" Long Xiang was delighted when he heard this. Now he didn't even need to do it himself. He laughed and didn't care about anything else. So he took a big step and went in, "Go in and take a look!"
Yun Qian touched the sweat on his forehead. He had to please this person. Although he didn't know the other party's identity, he knew that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person. At least from his years of experience in reading people, he could conclude that the other party must have been in a high position for a long time.
...
Long Xiang grabbed a pastor and asked him to take him to find the highest person in charge of this religion, the pope of the church. Of course, he did not take the pope seriously.
He had another thing he had to do here today, that was to let the other party hand over the murderer who killed his son. As for destroying this religion, he dared not think about it, because along the way, he found that the people he had found were nearly ten thousand, and even with such a huge number, even if he was weak, he could not kill them. The only thing he could deal with was the pope of this church. (The pope is the title of the unpowered church who is the highest authority of a not powerful church)
In the temple, the decoration is very prosperous, magnificent and solemn.
As soon as Long Xiang and Yun Qian entered the wide temple, they were immediately shocked by the gorgeous and solemn decoration, but it was not a great thing for Long Xiang and Yun Qian, but the decoration was too unique.
Looking at Zhang Xiaojian on the Pope's throne sitting in the hall, his face suddenly sank. He thought that although the other party had not gone out to greet him, he had to at least show his respect for him. Now the other party is sitting high above the throne, just like an emperor looking down at him, how could he accept this?
Yun Qian's face was also not good-looking. As his own identity, there would be people who would flatter him, respect, and filial piety. No matter how like this, the other party not only did not flatter him or filial piety, but also did not have the minimum etiquette. He just sat on the throne like that.
"Good boy!" Yun Qian had already made up his mind. No matter whether the other party finally agreed to the above agreed terms, he would report it when he returned and incite him to the cult.
"Tell me your identity and purpose?" Zhang Xiaojian spoke, as if an emperor was questioning his subjects.
Long Xiang and Yun Qian looked extremely ugly. The other party regarded themselves as subjects. Thinking of this, they would still have a good mood and good face.
Long Xiang winked at Yun Qian.
Yun Qian immediately understood and took a step forward, "I, Yun Qian, are the Minister of the State Religious Administration! I hope you will talk after you think it through!"
