1674 The scourge is scourge everywhere
Salt Lake City, Temple Square, Grand Chapel.
This is a huge egg-shaped building, more than one hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide. It was built in 1864 and its dome is like a tent, very unique.
The Chapel is a holy land of the Mormon Church. It has more than 3,000 seats and the organ inside it is the best in the world. Its spiritual song choir is also well-known in the religious circle.
And today, the organ is low and the spiritual song is melodious.
The whole chapel was solemn and dignified, but not without joy, because the crown of Adams of the Mormon Church would enthrone a saint here... There were originally two saints. But Angie said that this young lady was not interested, so she gave up.
Before Jesus’ statue, Rachel Connor was wearing a golden holy garment. Her beautiful face, soft figure, and elegant temperament, everything looked like flowers blooming under the sun, holy and dazzling.
Canonizing the saints in the Mormon Church is something that has never happened before, because women have a low status in Mormon teachings, and the public permission to polygamy alone is enough to tell everything.
But the benefits of enthroning Rachel are real. Not to mention Zhou Qingfeng's influence, Rachel alone can appease and accept millions of lower-class residents, which is very conducive to the rule of the Iron Brotherhood. Therefore, David Lawrence cannot refuse this.
Becoming a Saint is a large-scale publicity campaign, promoting Rachel, promoting the Mormon Church, and promoting the Brotherhood of Steel. Any ruling system needs publicity, without exception.
Under the witness of more than three thousand senior brothers and clergy from the Mormon Church, Adams, dressed in costume, prayed to Jesus with a staff, "I call Rachel Connor in the name of the Lord,..."
As a VIP, Zhou Qingfeng watched the ceremony in a corner of the chapel. When he saw Rachel walking under the statue of Jesus, he couldn't help but be shocked by his beauty. The holy garment is an ancient Greek style, with a wide piece of fabric wrapped around his shoulders and two rings are simply clasped.
Rachel's arms are exposed, and her perfect figure is hidden in the layered fabric, full of three-dimensionality. She brings an olive branch crown made of emeralds and gold, with a strong classical atmosphere, just like a muse who has descended on earth.
Such a dress alone is enough to make believers fascinated by it...
This outfit was brought by Zhou Qingfeng from the real world. He had seen models wearing it, but he didn't expect it to be so beautiful when worn on Rachel.
At the enthronement scene, everyone was fascinated by the atmosphere with a sacred aura. Even Zhou Qingfeng was infected by this sacred atmosphere and felt that he seemed to be beginning to approach God.
The entire enthronement ceremony lasted for several hours and was broadcasted by radio. There were also special cameramen on site. This was the first time that the Mormon Church held such a large-scale event after the Cataclysm, and all kinds of video materials were particularly precious.
After the ceremony, Rachel announced that she would pray for the Lord for three days and three nights in the Temple Church. Everyone praised the devotion of the Holy Maiden and expressed deep admiration. She also said that she would influence a very important person for the Lord.
"Victor Hugo, are you willing to return to the glory of our Lord Jesus?" At the moment of becoming a saint, Rachel asked Zhou Qingfeng in front of more than 3,000 people in the audience. Her beautiful voice echoed the audience, which immediately shocked everyone who was not sure of the reason.
Damn, what's going on?
The Saint is trying to force the commander of the Aurora Legion to express his opinion on the spot!
More than three thousand eyes looked at Zhou Qingfeng, and those who were far away from him had to stand up or even tiptoe. This is not an ordinary event. Whether Zhou Qingfeng's answer is willing or not, it will alarm the world.
The answer to "Yes", the Iron Brotherhood will increase its power sharply.
If you answer "I don't want to", you will immediately collapse as soon as you have reached a friendly relationship, and you will even turn against each other.
Many people don’t understand what’s going on? But they are frightened without exception, feeling that history is at a critical moment at this moment.
Under Rachel's gaze, Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the corner of the front row of the chapel. Everyone's eyes moved with him, and even Adams, who had just presided over the saint enthronement ceremony, felt his heart beating stopped...
Zhou Qingfeng walked five or six meters away in front of Rachel, looked at the statue of Jesus behind her. He seemed very clear in himself and said with a smile: "I do."
Wow...
The scene was in an uproar, incredible, unbelievable, and incomprehensible. Everyone felt that something impossible happened. The commander of the Aurora Legion, Victor Hugo, who had just proclaimed himself the Holy Emperor of America, actually wanted to be a Mormon.
Some are stunned, some are shocked, some are ecstatic... This is more meaningful than enthroning the Saint, and today's moment must be recorded in history. This is equivalent to the real unity of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Aurora Legion.
But why did Zhou Qingfeng agree? Everyone was puzzled!
Actually, I have to agree.
Zhou Qingfeng thought of many ways to stabilize his rule. He recruited compatriots, massacred foreign races, tempted interests, and suppressed rules. In order to ensure that the legion exists stably, he did everything he can, no matter what is good or bad.
But the effect is not as satisfactory as Zhou Qingfeng thought.
Zhou Qingfeng and his compatriots are still absolutely a minority, and this cannot be changed. Not to mention anything else, the women around him are religious. When he is alive, he may be able to suppress the situation with prestige and wrists, but what if he is gone?
There are more than 20 million people in the wasteland of Mexico, and even half of them are killed, there are still more than 10 million. In the North American Incredre, the Iron Brotherhood, and even Canada, the combined population of more than 60 million. There are at least 50 million people in South America. These people cannot be killed by Zhou Qingfeng.
There are only two results in the rule of the majority in history. Either the minority is assimilated or the minority is eliminated. Whether in Europe or Asia, whether in ancient or modern times, there has never been a minority assimilated.
If Zhou Qingfeng really disappeared one day, the empire he founded would not last for many years. The subjects who followed him would not have a good life. How fiercely he treated others, and how others would treat his ethnic group in the future.
Zhou Qingfeng was troubled by this problem, and sociologists in the real world thought repeatedly. The only way he could come up with was that he could not change North American society, so he could only join this society to gain dominance. It was actually no big deal to follow the local customs.
Before being canonized, Rachel found Zhou Qingfeng and asked him to join the Mormon Church. If it were someone else, he would definitely be bombarded by Zhou Qingfeng.
But the woman let down any lucky thoughts of Zhou Qingfeng in just one sentence, "You can't believe in Jesus, but you can't stop joining the church. Otherwise, you won't even stay in Mexico in the future."
What it says makes sense.
It is precisely because of this that Rachel was willing to ask Zhou Qingfeng on the spot, and I was willing to give him a public answer.
Adams' heart could finally continue to beat. When he burst out laughing, there were more than 3,000 people cheering in the chapel, and even thousands of people in North America were excited about the news.
When he said "I do," even Zhou Qingfeng himself breathed a sigh of relief. Politics is about exchange of interests and compromise, and there is nothing he can do about it.
Adams's coffin immediately expressed his intention to baptize Victor Hugo, while Zhou Qingfeng hoped that the saint would give it to himself. Everyone at the scene was waiting excitedly, while Zhou Qingfeng was invited to the lounge of the chapel for a while, and some preparations were needed on the scene.
There were not many outsiders when he arrived at the lounge, and Adams could no longer suppress his ecstasy. He brought Rachel in to express his gratitude to Zhou Qingfeng, believing that the other party's move was really bringing peace to countless people in North America.
"Victor Hugo, you will become a saint."
"Well, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. Actually, I have long wanted to join the church, but I feel that the church must keep pace with the times and carry out some secular reforms in order to attract more people to join."
"Reform the Church? No problem, as long as you are willing to join, it's fine to make some small changes."
"It's really okay?"
"Of course it's OK."
"Then let me give you a small opinion first. For example, this spiritual song is good, but we Chinese cannot sing this. We need to have some Chinese characteristics."
"It's not easy to adapt some spiritual songs? We can write spiritual songs specifically for you."
"Wait, there is no need to write spiritual songs for me, I am not dead yet. In fact, we have the ready-made spiritual songs of Christ with Chinese characteristics. I can sing a paragraph now."
Rachel followed Adams's underworld, and seeing Zhou Qingfeng's unfair appearance, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She knew the boy in front of her too well. As long as she listened to the tone of the other party's speech, she knew that something was going to happen.
But Adams was happy to conquer Victor Hugo, which was a big deal that could make him a legend in the church. He immediately asked to listen to the song of Christ with Chinese characteristics.
"I'm not polite. I'll sing a Dutch clapper version first, listen well." Zhou Qingfeng cleared his throat, found a wooden stick and started to knock on the table rhythmically. He screamed loudly, and a loud and elegant, moderate, and refreshing and lively tune was sang from him.
"Duke Joseph, sit down and listen to me tell you the intimate words. Duke Joseph, let's sit down and let's just pull it.
After you get married, the carpenter, you marry Maria. She got pregnant before she passed the door, knowing that you have concerns in your heart.
Who is the child’s father? You can’t sleep every day and night. This child was created by the Holy Spirit and went to the ground through the womb.
To repay the sins of the world is the Messiah of Imanelli. This is God's will, don't doubt Mary."
Mr. Zhou sang so excitedly, but after singing a short section, he saw Adams's coffin feel like he had a stroke. The respected church had round eyes, his hands trembled, his mouth was crooked, and his whole body was messy.
"You..., you..., what are you singing?" Adams's Coronation could not understand the lyrics, but the Dutch Bangzi was about to collapse, "Is this Chinese Christ's song?"
Rachel, who had just become a saint, also had a defeated expression on his face, covering her face as if she had known that this would have happened.
Uncle Zhou looked at the expression of the Cangxia and said, "That's right, this is my improved song of Christ. This is the Dutch Bangzi version. If you don't like it, I will have the Tianjin QuickBan version. Let me have a paragraph...
When the bamboo board is hit like this, we will not praise anything else, but just praise the Almighty Lord. He is the Lord.
The Father and the Holy Spirit, the Son are the Messiah, the Divine One Person, and they are the three of them.
…”
Before Mr. Zhou could continue singing, poor Adams was as frightened as when he saw Satan coming. He turned his eyes and his body softened. Rachel behind him quickly held him up and kept shouting, "Mr. Cr. Cr. Cr. Cr. What's wrong with you?"
