Fang Tianfeng laughed after seeing the news and searched the Internet again. Sure enough, there were some pictures.
However, neither Song Jie nor officiant Lan was present.
Fang Tianfeng is very free these days. After finishing his own business in the morning, he took Princess Anna to Yanjiang Town to see how the dispute over the address of the church and the orphanage was going.
The car arrived in Yanjiang Town and parked outside the church construction site. More than 300 believers and more than a dozen clergymen were gathered around the construction site to prevent the construction of the church. There were also more than 50 people standing nervously inside the construction site. More than 300 people were standing there.
Opposite of.
Fang Tianfeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. The internal strife between the Tianshen Sect and the sub-sects was a bit like one thing suppressing another.
Anna looked out the car window curiously. Although she was a believer in God, she watched with great interest.
The people of the Sect are obviously angry and afraid. Although they are not afraid of the government, they still feel guilty in the face of the menacing Tianshen Sect members. The Celestial Sect has a large number of people and is powerful. If they really want to take action, the people of their Sect will only run away.
On the other hand, for the Tianshen Sect, although the clergy did not like these branch sects robbing their followers, they were still very friendly on the surface. However, the same was not true for the believers, especially a few old ladies who cursed loudly.
"You unconscionable bastards! If you even dare to rob the land of the welfare home that the saint is presiding over, God will definitely punish you to death!"
"You heretics! You will go to hell after death! The Celestial God Sect is the only sect in China, and the others are heresies! The Celestial God has sent a saint to earth, and the next step is to cleanse you heretics and finally unify the world!"
The priests of the Celestial Sect kept persuading them.
"Lost lambs, the sins you have committed are not unforgivable. As long as you abandon the past and rejoin the Celestial God Religion, the Celestial God will cleanse you of your sins."
"People who pretend to be gods, you have gone astray and been seduced by the devil. It is not too late to repent now."
"God loves the world. The church you built has brought infamy to God. This is the devil using your hands to attack the almighty God. Your hands are stained with the blood of God. Only by stopping your sins and repenting can you be cleansed.
Clear away your sins."
These "professional" priests are just different. They keep saying all kinds of things. On the other hand, the people who come from different religions are much worse. They just keep saying those few words over and over again, and they sound like mental illness.
Those sectarian believers are gradually unable to support themselves, and there are far fewer people today than yesterday.
Not long after, two cars arrived, and Priest Lan, who was dressed in purple robes, got out of the car.
"Look, it's the purple-robed high priest!"
Everyone looked at Chief Priest Lan. The believers and clergy of the Tianshen Sect were extremely excited, and many of them even flushed with excitement.
The priest who split the religion was pale. Although they also believed in gods, they were just split religions after all. Their status and reputation were far apart. It was okay to have some underground churches or house churches, but they were really being watched by the purple-robed chief priest.
Go up. All we can do is sit back and wait for death.
Although the believers of the different religions were disgusted with the people of the Tianshen Sect, they all became respectful when they saw the purple-robed chief priest coming. In their hearts, they still regarded the purple-robed people as being closer to God.
Chief Priest Lan did not scold or preach, but smiled and said: "You are all my brothers and sisters, even in this situation."
The more than 50 believers were so moved by one sentence from Chief Priest Lan that their eyes turned red, and some of them even cried with excitement.
"I will not reprimand you in the name of the God. I will not suppress you as the purple-robed high priest. I am now a servant of the God like everyone else. As a believer in the God, I ask you, when the church applied for land,
It was one thousand square meters, but now it covers an area of more than five thousand square meters. Is this true?"
Most of those believers were deceived. They only thought that others were trying to harm them and prevent the construction of a new church. They did not believe what others said, and the priests also firmly denied it. But now when a purple-robed high priest asked, they immediately looked at the priest.
Teach the priests.
Several branch priests were speechless. They couldn't speak. They didn't dare to lie in front of the purple-robed chief priest. Now even a fool could see that there was something wrong.
Priest Lan sighed softly and said: "The Nine Commandments say you must not lie to frame others, and you must not occupy other people's houses. Priests, if you deceive believers, you are deceiving God. Everyone, if you are in this kind of church
Pray, when you look at the statues of the gods, when you touch the God of Heaven, and when you recite God’s teachings, will the gods be willing to listen?”
Priest Lan's words had an effect. A believer hurriedly walked up to him, bowed to him and apologized, and then left in a hurry.
Then, one after another people left the group of people who were divided into different sects, or wanted to join the Celestial Sect, and Priest Lan happily accepted them.
If government officials come, the priests of the different religions are not afraid, but as soon as the purple-robed high priest appears, the priests of the different religions are cut off. Now it is impossible to get through either the law or the canon, and it will be even more embarrassing to continue to struggle.
Soon, those few priests became lonely. Finally, they promised to Chief Priest Lan that they would not build a church here, and then left in despair.
The people of the Celestial Sect cheered loudly.
After everyone dispersed, Chief Priest Lan walked towards Fang Tianfeng's car. Fang Tianfeng got out of the car with a smile and said: "Priest Lan is indeed very capable. If there are internal affairs of the gods and religions that cannot be solved in the future, I will send you."
Priest Lan gave a wry smile, and then said seriously: "Master Fang, I asked someone to investigate yesterday, and found that not only all the purple robes of our Tianshen Sect are inciting priests and believers from all over the world to attend the saint's large-scale sermons, but also various branches
The religious people also got together and asked all the clergy to go to Merchant Town in the name of meeting the saint, and also told some believers."
Fang Tianfeng looked stern and asked: "All purple robes?"
Chief Priest Lan said: "Yes. Among the twelve purple robes, there are three who are inclined to or relatively approve of the Saint, five are neutral, and there are four who are opposed to it. However, Chief Priest Zhuo was killed by you a few days ago.
Lesson learned, now we are considered neutral. We twelve purple robes can decide the appointment and dismissal of 99% of the clergy of the Tianshen Sect. Any purple robe can call a large number of clergy and believers from a provincial diocese to attend a sermon meeting.
"
"Our three purple robes who support the Holy Lady have been wooing the five neutral people and asking them to send the officiant or archpriest to attend the sermon. They originally said they would send some. But starting a few days ago, they not only agreed to send the officiant and archpriest.
The officiant even sent priests and a large number of priests, and the three purple robes who opposed the saint actually asked all the clergy in their jurisdiction to go to Merchant Town, and at the same time encouraged believers to go."
Fang Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and said: "There are more than 300 cities and nearly 3,000 counties in the country. Even if there are 50 clergy in each city and 5 clergy in each county, that is 30,000 people! This is not even
Counting various denominations and believers from all over the country, can the total number of people attending this large-scale evangelistic meeting reach 100,000?"
Priest Lan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that I can't stop it with one hundred thousand, and it may exceed 150,000. This is a nationwide promotion. Even if there is no saint, just the presence of twelve purple robes is enough to attract a large number of believers. I
At first I thought that having more people was a good thing, but now I'm a little scared. I don't know what the chief teacher's trump card is and what he will do. With so many people gathered together, if you are not careful, it will cause a big mess. Otherwise, cancel this sermon.
Forget it, I'm old and my heart can't bear the pain."
Fang Tianfeng frowned and thought. This incident far exceeded his expectations. With so many people and all the clergy gathering together, the power of the teachings formed is immeasurable. Even if the Buddhist teachings in the Buddha bone relics in his hand were completely restored,
, and cannot suppress them.
Seeing that Fang Tianfeng was silent, Chief Priest Lan said tentatively: "You and the Saint are both young, so there is no need to rush. We can find an excuse to cancel the evangelistic meeting, and then we can work steadily in Dongjiang and gradually penetrate into the country, waiting for the support of the Saint.
Purple robes occupy two-thirds, then we can use slightly more radical methods to let the glory of gods and saints shine in every corner of China."
Fang Tianfeng asked: "Are you sure that all branch sects in China will also send people?"
"I'm sure. The head teacher's people have been communicating with each other these days. They should have promised them some kind of benefit."
Fang Tianfeng asked: "Have you ever thought about absorbing and unifying believers from various sects across the country under the Tianshen Sect?"
Chief Priest Lan was obviously very old, but after hearing these words, his eyes flashed and he said: "This is the lifelong wish of every clergy member of our Tianshen Sect. Unfortunately, it is too difficult. Even the Celestial Sect is so powerful that it has broken down into many branch sects.
, not to mention the Tianshen Sect in China. What’s more, the government does not want to see an unprecedentedly powerful and unified Tianshen Sect, so it is better to maintain the status quo.”
Fang Tianfeng said: "The government doesn't want to see a Tianshen sect with different intentions. As long as the Tianshen sect doesn't do anything behind the line and grows slowly, they won't have a chance to suppress it even if they want to. It all depends on man-made efforts."
Chief Priest Lan stared at Fang Tianfeng and said slowly: "That's right, but now the Tianshen Religion lacks enough power, let alone a strong leader."
"Can't you be a saint?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
"With the Saint, if nothing happens, the Celestial God Sect will be able to fully accept her in ten years. As for unifying all branches, just one Saint is not enough, far from enough." Chief Priest Lan said.
Fang Tianfeng remained silent.
Chief Priest Lan said sincerely: "Only if you come forward in person can the unification of the Chinese Celestial Religions be completed. Perhaps, you can unify the Celestial Religions of the world."
Fang Tianfeng said: "Do you think a religion that is so rotten is worthy of me taking over?"
Priest Lan was silent, and after a moment he said: "We can dig out the rotten parts and then treat them slowly. I believe you have this ability."
"But I don't have the energy." Fang Tianfeng said.
Chief Priest Lan gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you sit here, I will cut out the rotten flesh with a knife! I don't dare to say that the Tianshen Religion is perfect, but at least it is like a real religion, not just like most religions nowadays.
Filthy cesspit!"
"I didn't expect you to be so pious." Fang Tianfeng looked at Chief Priest Lan and said.
