Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 100: Local sects have limits… so get beyond humans! (5200)
The church is located in the center of the city, and believers often stop around to pray.
Whether priests or monks of the Huaiguang Church wear white clothes, believers also admire them, so when a group of believers wearing black robes with dark gray concentric circle coats of arms stop at the door of the church, they will very conspicuous.
Tonal contrast is too strong.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the four major orthodox religions in Terra can know that this is even the team of Shuoming Sect. If you are more knowledgeable, you can also see that this is a student team led by a teacher .
The group of people headed tightly held the thick and heavy scriptures wrapped in metal chains tightly in their hands, and they looked bookish.
Shuoming Sect has believers all over Terra, but just as Huaiguang is mainly distributed in Seven Cities Alliance, Yang Empire, Junling Fort and Yanjiang area, Spiritual Equipment Church is mainly distributed in Flame Land, Knowledge The capital and the far shore island, while the Hall of All Souls is concentrated around the Royal Court of Heaven and Canaan Moore.
The main areas of activity of the Shuo Ming Sect are located in Yanjiang, Ganterigum and Nine Cold and Silent Mountains, and their relationship with goblins is also very good.
The only disadvantage is that the Shuoming Sect has a low sense of existence. They focus on studying the world of the dead, and their attitude towards the society of the living is to 'avoid', or 'observe'.
Like places like funeral parlors and crematoriums, although they are still in the human world, they are not really needed, and no one will deliberately have anything to do with them.
"How did they come here?"
Seeing the team of the Shuo Ming Sect, Yin En couldn't help being a little surprised: "Moreover, there are 'teachers'... This is a formal team of priests."
With the development of Harrison Port, other Orthodox missionaries did arrive here, but after realizing that the Huaiguang Church had already had a church here, they all chose to go to more remote rural villages, or Abandon missionary work and only establish offices.
The team of the Shuo Ming Church also came here a few years ago. They have a small office in the new city west of the city, and they accept some requests for dying prayers on weekdays.
Generally speaking, this office is enough to communicate and transmit information. Naturally, there is no need to station sublimators, let alone priests.
The 'teacher', as the official clergyman of the Shuo Ming Cult, would not easily leave their temple and the 'position' they used to connect to the virtual world.
——There is a big deal!
Thinking of this in Yin En's mind, he subconsciously became vigilant: "If Shuo Ming's teacher can be allowed to go out, is it possible that there is some natural disaster in the South China Sea?"
But there are no such omens in the precognitive horizon.
He watched the team of the Shuo Ming Sect enter the church, and after thinking for a while, he followed with Elan and Elder Pude.
The team of Shuo Ming Cult had already made an appointment, and Bishop Baiwu came to greet him in person, but he couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw Yin En following behind the team, and then said a few words to the teacher in front of the team.
When speaking, the instructor also turned his head curiously and glanced at Yin En.
This is a woman whose skin is so white that it is almost transparent, and the blue blood vessels on her neck can be vaguely seen. Her eyes are covered by an eyepatch, and she is quite young just by looking at her cheeks and chin.
But her body is very weak, like a patient who has been bedridden for a long time.
However, there is an invisible force supporting her actions, giving people the feeling that she cannot be underestimated.
"It's him." The instructor turned his head to the side. Although he couldn't see his eyes, he gave Yin En a feeling of 'eyes met'.
She showed a nice smile and said to Bishop Baiwu: "Then you guys talk first, we are not in a hurry."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Bishop Bishop nodded: "You have been exhausted for a long time, please rest in the quiet room in the back hall first, we will provide food and incense."
After speaking, he actually left the team of Shuoming Church and walked directly towards Yin En.
"Long time no see."
The old man with patched clothes and disheveled beard and hair said with a smile: "Welcome back to your hometown, Yin En. Your achievements now impress everyone...Little Elan, are you happy to see your brother?"
He turned his head and greeted the little boy who was still eating the sausage in an amicable manner, causing Elan to swallow the food in his mouth hastily, and stood up straight: "Yes, Grandpa Baiwu! I'm very happy!"
"I have something to discuss with your brother, it takes a little time, you go outside and play with Posey and the others."
Mister Baiwu said, Elan looked at Yin En hesitantly, but after his brother nodded, he happily went to play with the children Huaiguang had adopted.
In recent years, with the economic development of Port Harrison, the local Huaiguang Church has also gained money, and has begun to adopt orphans to cultivate monks like the surrounding areas of the Holy Mountain.
Some of the children received training with Elan and played together on weekdays, and they were very good playmates.
"I'm going to watch the kids."
Elder Purdue left behind Elan with his hands behind his back.
Of course he could see that Yin En and Bishop Baiwu had something to talk about that he didn't know. Rather than being asked to leave at that time, he might as well leave first.
Yin En and Bishop Baiwu walked to the reception room at the back of the church.
"The instructor actually knows me, I don't think I have such a big reputation."
On the way, Yin En was not polite. He knew that communicating with these clergymen in the true sense of Huaiguang needs to be simple and direct: "Will the four major orthodox churches exchange my list of 'observers'?"
"Yes. But you have underestimated your reputation. Ms. Wotu is also an alchemist. Of course she knows your name."
Bishop Bishop said succinctly: "They came for the 'husk' left by the 'big redwood forest'. But this is only the surface."
"Their real purpose is to find a 'prophet'."
"The Prophet..."
Yin En repeated this word without changing his face, because he lost too many vests, he would not be surprised by this kind of thing at all, even if the Huaiguang Church might have seen that he was a prophet, he would not have the slightest emotion Variety.
Like all normal people, he paused for a moment, as if he was digesting the 'shock' brought by this word, and then said: "I really didn't expect to have something to do with the prophet."
Bishop Bishop's eyes lit up with firefly white halos. He took a deep look at Yin En, and said calmly, "Yes. I really didn't expect that."
"Because the Sequoia natives completely surrendered to Port Harrison, many of the ancient books they inherited were also obtained by Viscount Grant."
"He entrusted us Huaiguang Church and other orthodox churches to deal with these classics that recorded many strange and **** sacrifices, and we got a lot of extremely special information from them-the foresight Futaba in the indigenous legend is actually true, it It is an extremely special kind of strange thing that can give people the ability of 'prophet-like'."
"This information aroused our interest, so Huaiguang and Shuoming conducted a cooperation. Ms. Wotu is an expert in this field. At the same time, this can also explain why the prophecy book predicts events around Harrison Port Some 'weird mistakes'."
Bishop Bishop emphasized the word 'weird mistake', and then looked at Yin En: "Speaking of which, Elder Pu De of your family is also very interested in this matter."
"He also got a lot of news through his relationship with Viscount Grant...Did Pude tell you about this?"
"I haven't had time yet. I just came back and discussed the cooperation with Viscount Grant."
Yin En told the truth without changing his face, but he was clear in his heart. The Huaiguang Church probably knew about his prophetic ability.
It's not surprising, it's strange that they didn't find out, and they spread the title of "Prophet of Thunder" for others to find out.
Not to mention, Huijian personally saw his choice as a prophet in the subspace labyrinth, and the Huaiguang Church has probably fully confirmed it since then.
So the white-haired boy said directly: "Don't talk about the prophet, Bishop Baiwu, have any strange things happened in the South China Sea Labyrinth recently?"
"Also, there should be light clerics stationed in my territory, but no matter whether it's the Sister Yingguang who promised to help, or Mr. Huijian, Ms. Redemption didn't come. What happened to them Is something wrong?"
Yin En changed the topic very bluntly, but Bishop Baiwu didn't pursue it: "The Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea has been very quiet recently. Ms. Hua An is in charge of her work. After obtaining the permission of the local lord, she is now exploring the details inside the labyrinth, and Frost Miss Butterfly... is a lovely child."
——The details inside the maze still need the two of them to explore? I have already given the map!
Yin En complained in his heart, and heard what Bishop Baiwu meant, that is, the two goblins didn't do any serious business at all, did they?
Hua An can touch at least on the surface, and Shuang Die is a clergyman who can't say anything good, so he can only praise her for being cute.
But Frost Butterfly is really cute.
"As for the priests who were supposed to help you stabilize the Xiahui leadership...they are all training."
At this moment, the two are already sitting in the reception room.
Bishop Bishop turned his head, looked towards the north where the holy mountain is located, and saluted slightly: "Furthermore, regarding your observation actions, Huaiguang had internal discussions twice. Had to attend the meeting, which slowed things down."
"That's it."
Yin En was silent for a while, this is indeed him dragging Ying Guangjian and the others.
I know what I have done, and Yin En knows that in the eyes of the Huaiguang Church who also knows his true identity and ability, all people and things related to him need to be handled carefully.
So after the silence, the boy opened his mouth. Yin En raised his head and looked at the bishop sitting opposite him.
He asked straightforwardly: "The priests of the Huaiguang Church...do they share souls? Or do they have a spiritual network?"
"You can think of it this way, it's not a secret. At least not to someone like you."
Bishop Bishop didn't hesitate at all. He seemed to have guessed that Yin En would ask these questions: "You who have seen the Huaiguang ceremony with your own eyes must know some of the details, but we can't explain it."
"Just, I have to tell you: the truth is more unbelievable than you imagined, I hope you will not be too surprised by this in the future."
It's hard for Yin En to imagine how unbelievable the current situation of Huaiguang Church can be?
If you want to surprise him, at least you have to be a little more insane than all the crazy people he knows about Taila now... Where else can Huaiguang go crazy?
Impossible.
Yin En came to visit Huaiguang Church this time, mainly because he wanted to ask about the "question of faith" in his own territory.
Even if you are as confident as Yin En, you will not feel that you can create a random religion, and you can hang Huaiguang in your own territory, crush all spirits, push Shuo Ming, and step on spiritual weapons... Four Orthodox Churches The influence on Terra is so deep that it has penetrated into the foundation of the culture. Even people who don't believe in the four orthodox religions will subconsciously say "all souls are above" or "bless you with light" when they are emotional.
Even if it is a leader of a cult, or a loose and large organization like the Dragon Worship Cult, there are still many people who believe in a little orthodox religion at ordinary times... Is it strange? It's better to say it's normal.
After all, it is different from their hometown. The cult in Terra is very clear that it is fake and deceiving, and it is also very clear that the four orthodox religions really have prophets and priests.
Anyway, you don't need money if you believe it.jpg
Under the acquiescence of the First Prince and the Marquis of Barton, the Empire officially recognized the Chongling Cult as an 'advanced version' of the mountain people's beliefs, but Yin En still wanted to know some important things from the Huaiguang Church. News...
For example, what is "Orthodoxy".
And, how to become an 'Orthodox Church'.
At least, you have to become a Dragon Worshiper, right?
Only by following this standard will you not be hit by the Huaiguang Church. Yin En didn't want to be pushed as a dungeon after farming by himself, it would not feel good.
So he came directly to ask!
"Orthodoxy..."
Bishop Bishop touched his beard, he pondered for a while, the white light in his eyes flickered, and finally gave an answer that was not an answer: "Orthodoxy is a sect that is beneficial to Terra."
After seeing Yin En frowning, he explained: "Whether it is the Dragon Worship Sect or the Iron Heart Sect, the Salt Sect or the Huanxin Sect, they have indeed made indispensable contributions to the world."
"But they have a position, a country, or a bloodline. Even if everyone is good-hearted and helps others, it will only benefit the whole place."
"The belief in the dragon **** of the mountain people... and the Chongling religion you mentioned, no matter how developed it is, this is the point. You can at most transcend the origin of the 'mountain people's belief', but it is impossible to transcend the 'belonging to the empire' position."
Speaking in this way, Bishop Baiwu was quite emotional: "In the final analysis, ordinary sects have limits. They will be limited by the country, ethnicity and culture where they are located. In the final analysis, they will be limited to human thinking."
"Unless it can surpass humans."
"This is the basis of 'orthodoxy'."
If you were an ordinary person, you would have complained long ago when you heard this—beyond human beings? Beyond country, nation and culture?
Are you kidding me, how can it be so easy to transcend, this seems to be to eradicate nationalism, is it possible?
Impossible. As long as human beings have different appearances, this simple and easy-to-understand cognition that can easily distinguish 'them' from 'us' will never be surpassed.
However, Yin En... Yin En, who can vaguely see the true purpose of the major Orthodox Churches, can clearly understand it.
Bishop Bishop, you are not joking.
He is a priest - he speaks the truth.
"The clerics of Huaiguang and the mode of action to deal with natural disasters are themselves 'beneficial actions' that transcend the national and cultural positions of all countries... They even treat intelligent monsters equally, which undoubtedly surpasses human beings sect."
"Needless to say, the Spiritual Tool Order, they collect information on pre-era civilizations, try to integrate man and machine, and create a path to ascension with psychic machines, which can also benefit the entire country and intelligent life, and surpass the limitations of human beings. move."
"I don't know much about the Temple of All Souls and the Shuo Ming Church, but they must have their corresponding paths behind them... and you can probably understand from the names that their positions and actions are indeed 'beyond human' or even 'Beyond life and death'..."
Hearing this, Yin En was a little taken aback.
No wonder, on the way of the spiritual disaster, I reached the point of the Fifth Orthodox Church—because I spread the technology of the dead king and reached the spiritual worship of the era of spirit gods, it is indeed beneficial to all beings, and whether it is the empire or the flying flames , Heavenly Royal Court or Canaan Moor, all intelligent life will benefit from it.
Even, those monsters... those 'aliens' who have lost their wisdom probably because they have no soul... In the expansion of the popularity of artificial souls, they will also regain their wisdom because of this, and then be killed by the gods Era of human assimilation.
This kind of action and behavior pattern is undoubtedly the standard of the "Orthodox Church"!
"If you are afraid that your establishment of a sect will cause other orthodox churches to attack... My answer is that as long as you do not endanger intelligent life and perform evil sacrifices such as human sacrifices, then there will be no problem."
As for Yin En's real question, Bishop Baiwu's answer is very clear: "Chongling Sect is also within the scope of our observation. If there is any inconsistency, we will remind, warn, and finally announce three times Notification. Corrective action will not occur until three times.”
"Don't worry, Yin En, it is very common for a lord to create his own sect in order to better control the territory, so don't be too sensitive."
"Then I'm relieved."
With Bishop Baiwu's endorsement as a clergyman, Yin En can put down a stone in his heart-territory management is not just a purely technical issue, but more about human sophistication.
Let all parties be satisfied with the development of their territory, and hope that their territory will grow, and the territory will grow and get more help.
Of course, certain enemies are also necessary. Without enemies, the people will not be able to distinguish between 'them' and 'us', and there will be no cohesion and sense of crisis, and they will not be able to fully develop and unify their thoughts.
"It's no wonder that everyone likes to blame Feiyandi. It is indeed a great blessing to have such an enemy."
After getting the answer he wanted, Yin En bid farewell to Bishop Baiwu—the other party still had to contact the team of the Shuo Ming Sect, so there was nothing he could do next.
And next, he still has a lot of things to do.
For example, he had already asked Qing Chao to find Sha Sha, Hua An, and Shuang Die before. After finding all of them, everyone went to the South China Sea Labyrinth to get together and see what happened to the crystallized dragon egg.
But just as Yin En left the gate of Huaiguang Church, he heard the confident voice of his younger brother Elan.
"You are all wrong - my brother is the strongest!"
At this moment, Elan was surrounded by a group of children who were about the same age.
And he stood in front of the fence at the entrance of the church, and said to everyone with great spirit: "Although the viscount is strong, he is old; Grandpa Baiwu is a priest, and he will not compare himself with others." /
"Even though other people have power, their knowledge is far inferior! Whether it is alchemy or inscriptions, my brother is the most powerful group!"
"Perhaps you will think that there are still many powerful people in Nanling, but they are all from the past!"
"Up to now, my brother is undoubtedly the strongest in Nanling!"
