The most difficult thing about spreading faith is actually taking the first step. As long as you take this step, the next situation will be much smoother.
After Schiff and Linley gained the first batch of believers in the village, they took out the scriptures they had woven, and while teaching people to recognize the common characters in it, they also taught various farming-related knowledge recorded in the scriptures.
There is also some simple medical knowledge.
Of course, in addition to teaching people the knowledge of mortal life, how to behave in the world (Schiff provided a lot of chicken soup articles from previous lives as a reference), and the dogma that leads people to be good, the scriptures also have mysterious knowledge that Schiff later added.
This part of the mysterious knowledge recorded in the scriptures clearly tells believers how to use the idols left by the Schiffs to perform simple spellcasting through prayer. This kind of fool-like operation, as long as the believers hold the idols and pray correctly,
It can induce the phenomenon of magic.
This kind of spell cast with the power of faith was named 'divine spell' by Schiff, and can only be cast by believers who believe in the gods.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if believers don’t have idols on their bodies. The scriptures also record a method of prayer and meditation: the images of the two people should be deeply engraved in the spirit. When believers don’t have idols, they can meditate on the images of Lin Lei and Shiv.
With the help of the connection through the faith channel, we can connect to Shiv and Linley in the dark.
However, the latter method requires believers to have a certain degree of devout faith. Generally, believers can only cast spells with the help of idols.
However, Lin Lei still had some concerns: "Shiv, wouldn't it be a good idea to hand over the spellcasting ability to believers?"
"No, all the spells I recorded in the scriptures require the power of faith to be cast. The believers will only believe in us more devoutly." Faced with Linley's concerns, Schiff did not take it seriously.
In fact, among the six divine spells recorded in the scriptures: Growth, Healing, Strengthening, Combustion, Flame, and Wisdom Enlightenment, which can only be performed with the help of faith, except for Flame, there are no other divine spells.
Direct attack power, so it will not cause any uncontrollable situation after being taught to believers.
…
In the home of villager Greya, the girl Greya is not only the first batch of naturalized believers, but also the second believer to obtain the canon.
By the sunny window, Greya's mother was spinning wool on a spinning wheel while listening to her daughter recite the "Four Spirits Canon": "...the Lord of Abundance said: We must fear the earth as our parents, because it is full of all things.
To nourish our lives…”
"The Lord of Abundance brings us a rich harvest. He gives us the power of the harvest so that we don't have to endure hunger and makes us happy. This God is so good!" Greya's mother stopped the spinning wheel in her hand.
, couldn't help but wiped his eyes with his hands, and looked at the granary full of wheat, with a look of joy on his face.
After listening to her mother's words, Greya lowered her head and touched the scripture in her hand. With a slight smile on her face, she said softly: "Yes, God has given us miracles and made us rich. This is God's gift. We
The days will become happier as time goes by!”
At this time, Greya's father opened the door and walked in. He took off the hat on his head, fanned the hot sweat on his body, and said to his daughter: "Graya, wait a minute, we will go to the fields, you can use
Use some magic to help Mai Miao Zhang Zhang again."
Greya nodded slightly: "I understand, father!"
At this time, Greya's father Zhuoflin also started talking: "Graya, you have to know that our family just happened to catch the first miracle, and God gave us extra food. We want to thank the Lord of Abundance for giving us
The gift, we must always remember the happiness bestowed upon us by the Lord of Abundance!”
Greya listened to her father's nagging with a smile, feeling full of gratitude to Linley, the God of Earth and Fertility. Because this was a miracle, the extra grain harvested was enough to prevent them from going hungry again this year, so Greya's family was very grateful to the earth.
He is particularly devout in his belief in Linley, the God of Fertility.
At noon, after Greya's family had dinner, Greya followed her father to her field. Looking at the second crop of wheat seedlings being replanted, Greya clasped her hands together, holding the statue of Lin Lei in her palms, and silently
Start praying.
"... Praise my Lord, Lin Lei, the God of Earth and Fertility, you are my savior. I pray that you will bless me and give me the joy of growth! Amen!" As the girl murmured, a little bit of earthy yellow radiance,
It spread from her body and landed in her own field.
In the field, the wheat seedlings that were originally just sprouting became visibly stronger under the girl's prayers.
In the surrounding fields, other villagers looked at Greya's family with envy: "Graya from the Zhuovlin family is really pious and can already use the magic given by the gods."
It's a pity that they can only watch Greya helplessly, because they are not pious enough to be able to use magic on such a large scale.
Here, Greya performed a growth operation on her own field, and then went home with her mother a little tired.
Zhuoflin watched his daughter and wife leave, then turned around and started watering the fields. After all, the growth spell is not a panacea. The growth of wheat seedlings still requires a large amount of water, not to mention that after the growth spell is used, a large amount of water in the soil is consumed.
, the fields need more water, so the busy work on Zhuoflin's side is not over yet.
…
Four middle-aged men who came together walked from a path leading to Vovalino Village to Vovalino Village where Schiff and Linley were stationed.
Several people looked at the scene in the fields beside the road and began to communicate in low voices: "It seems that the rumor that the village of Vovalino was blessed by a miracle is true! You fields..." They saw it, Vovalin
Nuocun was once a lush wheat field, but now there are only short wheat seedlings left. This is very consistent with the rumors they heard before.
These outsiders found acquaintances in Vovalino Village and inquired about the situation from them. The villagers in Vovalino Village did not hide it and told them the truth about the miracle.
Listening to acquaintances saying that this miracle comes from a god completely different from the Lord of Light, outsiders from nearby villages all said in horror: "Are you crazy? You actually believe in an unknown god?"
The villagers of Vovalino proudly told these outsiders: "We are not crazy. It was the miracle given to us by the Lord of Plenty that allowed our grain to mature in advance. Now you can see the second crop of grain we replanted."
."
"Aren't you afraid of the Inquisition of the Holy See of Light?"
"Don't worry, they won't come to our remote area. As long as we can pay them tithes on time, they won't care about our beliefs at all!" The villagers of Vovalino said disapprovingly, "And
, the Lord of Plenty can bring us a rich harvest, can the Lord of Light do it?"
"As long as you believe in the Lord of Plenty, the Lord of Plenty will not be stingy. He has given us magical powers that can help the food in our fields grow faster. As long as you are pious enough and can cast a powerful holy lake, you can plant four crops a year.
We should keep three crops of grain for ourselves to eat, and the remaining crop to pay taxes to the lord and tithes to the Holy See, so that we can eat until we are full."
When they listened to the words of their acquaintances in Volvalino Village, these outsiders couldn't help but feel moved.
In fact, the villages to which these outsiders belong are not wealthy. In addition to giving part of the grain grown to the lord as tax, they also have to pay tithes to the Holy See. After they pay the tax, there will not be much grain left.
They can barely keep four or five members of their family from going hungry. This is considered the result of their family's hard work.
Want to eat all you can? Dreaming is faster!
They originally came to inquire about miracles, but who knew they would hear such tempting news, which made them feel a little unfair.
"Why do we believe in the Lord of Light? The Lord of Light does not grant us such happiness. Instead, he pays tithes to the Holy See and makes us unable to even eat enough. Why?"
Originally, there would be no harm if there was no comparison. But now seeing that the people in Vovalino Village not only have enough to eat, but their lives will get better and better in the future, this makes several outsiders feel even more unfair. Once injustice occurs, their faith will be shaken.
It will be a breeze!
