"Sir, although our town is not big, it was famous for its tribute wine during the Qing Dynasty. That church was also built by a foreigner at that time, but I don't know why later.
, the foreigners disappeared, and the church was abandoned!" the waiter explained.
After listening to the waiter's explanation, Hao Shuai also remembered that at the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of the Qing Dynasty's "wise", a series of unequal treaties were signed with Great Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other powers.
In addition to the content of these treaties such as the cession of territory and compensation, there was also a treaty that allowed foreign missionaries to preach in China.
Jiuquan Town is located in eastern China, so it is normal for missionaries to come to build churches.
"Then why is it reopening now? Are there foreign missionaries coming again?" Hao Shuai asked.
"That's right! I heard yesterday that a missionary came to town, but I didn't expect it to open today."
"I see." After sending the waiter away, Hao Shuai looked at Bai Rourou and asked, "How about we join in the fun after dinner?"
"Okay! I haven't seen how foreign missionaries preach? Are they the same as our Taoism, or the same as Buddhism?" Bai Rourou also looked very interested.
…
After the meal, Hao Shuai and Bai Rourou followed the crowd and came outside the church.
At this time, there were already people standing outside the place. I am afraid that more than half of the people in Jiuquan Town came to watch the fun.
In front of the church, there were several missionaries holding banners and slogans that read - Believe in God and get eternal life.
"This is?" At this time, Hao Shuai looked at the church in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.
It doesn’t mean that the church is very tall. From the outside, the church, like most churches, is just an ordinary church.
However, from the perspective of metaphysics and Feng Shui, the location of this church is actually located in the three evil places with the heaviest evil spirits in the entire Jiuquan Town.
I really don’t know if the foreign devils who built the church really didn’t understand, or if they were tricked into choosing a place like this.
"I am here again today by the Almighty Lord to lead you away from sin. This world is too scary. Friends do not believe in friends, relatives do not believe in relatives, and people do not believe in people. So you must believe in me, because I am the son of the Heavenly Father.
, as long as you believe in me, you will also become children of Heavenly Father!"
"Almighty Lord, without your merciful help, we have nothing, please accept us..."
In front of the church, a yellow-skinned priest saw that people were almost here, so he climbed up to the high platform and gave a speech.
I heard from the surrounding residents that the priest's surname was Wu and that he was an out-and-out foreigner.
Hmm~~
A foreigner with yellow skin and a white heart who grew up abroad!
It can be seen that Father Wu is very proficient in doctrine, but unfortunately for most lower-class residents, they don't care at all what the missionaries say.
Regarding the matter of preaching in the land of China, let alone the current era of war and chaos, where most people do not have enough to eat, even in the 21st century, according to surveys, there were only two or three believers at that time.
There are tens of millions of people, accounting for about 1.7%-2.9% of the total population.
This ratio is negligible compared with the 80 to 90 percent ratio in Western countries.
In fact, no matter what kind of religion it is, it is difficult to develop in the land of China.
Because maybe even the Chinese people themselves don’t know whether they have faith?
Most Chinese people go to temples to worship Buddha, go to temples to worship Taoism, and go to churches to worship God. They worship whatever they have. To call it faith, it is better to say that what they seek is peace of mind.
If we insist on saying what Chinese people believe, it is their ancestors and sages who believe in them. We believe in Mr. Confucius and his way of life. We also believe in Dayu’s spirit of relying on himself to change his destiny when he controlled the floods.
, we will worship our ancestors during the Qingming Festival, and hang lanterns and write couplets during the New Year. Our belief is very simple, which is to live a better life, with peace and prosperity for the country and the people...
Fortunately, the priest who was in charge of the speech had a deep understanding of the Chinese people's tendency to take advantage of small things, and he had explained in advance that some small items such as clothes, flour, cans, etc. would be distributed for free later. Otherwise, it is estimated that not many people would be able to listen to the priest's speech.
Already.
Sure enough, after the priest finished his speech, most people rushed to the gift area and rushed to receive the gifts. No one cared about the so-called "pleasure donation" that followed.
It can't be said that everyone has left, as the respectable people in the town are still standing there chatting.
When Anne, who was wearing a red dress and had a very 'bad' omen, took the lead in donating money, the squires in the town also followed suit.
In fact, for those who donated money, Hao Shuai knew that except for Annie who was a devout believer because she had received Western education and Western religious beliefs abroad, the others, including David, were just watching for fun.
Haha, just for fun.
However, with the support of these local tyrants and squires, the church reopening ceremony was successfully completed.
"Bang~~Bang~~"
Several missionaries worked hard to remove the wooden boards that sealed the church door.
"Hao Shuai, should we stop them?" Bai Rourou asked.
As a master in the foundation building stage, Bai Rourou also discovered the feng shui problem of the church and knew that these three evil places were a serious danger.
"Let's just wait and see what happens! After all, we are outsiders too, so it's really hard for us to interfere in the town's affairs." Hao Shuai hesitated and said.
"Okay then!" Bai Rourou also knew that what Hao Shuai said was reasonable, but she asked: "Then let's stay here for two days!"
"Okay!" Hao Shuai agreed simply. He knew that this was because the kind-hearted Bai Rourou couldn't bear to see the restlessness in Jiuquan Town because of the reopening of the church, and wanted to stay and observe the situation.
With the efforts of several missionaries, the door of the church was finally broken open.
When the door opened, a gust of wind suddenly blew out from inside.
Immediately, the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
"Damn it~~ It hasn't been opened in the past ten or twenty years. I didn't expect so much evil energy to accumulate."
Hao Shuai, who noticed the change, couldn't help but murmured: "Even if there are no evil things in the church, people living in it, under the erosion of Yin Qi, are not bad if they get sick every three days. After a long time, the body may not be able to bear it."
Living."
However, Hao Shuai did not tell this matter, for the same reason. As a foreigner, how many people will believe what you say?!
Besides, this zombie world is a supernatural world. Taoism and Buddhism actually have great supernatural powers that can subdue demons and eliminate ghosts. As a sect with followers all over the world, maybe they also have their own unique skills!
Although Hao Shuai didn't feel the energy fluctuations from Father Wu and others, he thought that with the Lord's protection, plus those Bibles, holy water, crosses, etc., he should have nothing to fear, right?!
