Across the Sky From the Stop of Time

  Chapter 714 This is a bad omen!

"My lord, although our town is not big, but in the Qing Dynasty, it was also a famous big town because of the tribute wine. The church was also built by a foreigner at that time, but I don't know why later. , the foreigner disappeared, and the church was abandoned!" Xiao Er explained.

  After listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Hao Shuai also remembered at this time that at the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of the "wise" Qing Dynasty, a series of unequal treaties were signed with Great Powers such as Britain, France, the United States and Russia.

  In addition to the land cession and compensation, these treaties also have a treaty that allows foreign missionaries to preach in China.

  Jiuquan Town is located in the eastern part of China, so it is normal for missionaries to come to build churches.

   "Then why is it reopening now? Is there another foreign missionary coming?" Hao Shuai asked.

   "That's right! I heard that a missionary came to the town yesterday, but I didn't expect it to open today."

   "I see." After dismissing Xiao Er, Hao Shuai looked at Bai Rourou and asked, "Why don't we join in the fun after dinner?"

   "Okay! I haven't seen how foreign missionaries preach? Is it 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 to the outside of the church.

   At this time, the outside of this place is already full of people, probably more than half of the people in the entire Jiuquan Town have come to watch the excitement.

  In front of the church, there were a few missionaries holding up banners with slogans on them, which read—Believe in God and gain eternal life.

   "This is?" At this moment, Hao Shuai looked at the church in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

   It’s not that the church is so tall and grand. From the outside, the church, like most churches, is an ordinary church.

  But from the perspective of metaphysics and feng shui, the location of this church is actually located in the three evil places with the most evil spirits in the entire Jiuquan Town.

   I really don’t know whether the foreign devils who built the church really didn’t understand, or they were tricked into choosing this kind of place.

"Today I come here again by the Almighty Lord to lead you out of your sins. This world is terrible. Friends don't believe in friends, relatives don't believe in relatives, people don't believe in people, so you have to believe in me, because I am the son of the Father , as long as you believe in me, you too will become the children of Heavenly Father!"

   "O Almighty Lord, without your kind help, we are nothing, please accept us..."

  In front of the church, a yellow-skinned priest saw that it was almost time for people to come, so he climbed onto the high platform and gave a speech.

   According to the surrounding residents, the priest's surname is Wu, and he is an out-and-out foreigner.

  um~~

   A foreigner with a yellow skin and a white heart who grew up abroad!

   It can be seen that Father Wu is still very proficient in teachings, but unfortunately for most bottom-level residents, they don't care what the missionaries say at all.

As for preaching in the land of China, not to mention the current era of turmoil and chaos where most people can’t get enough to eat, even in the 21st century, according to surveys, there were no more than two or three believers at that time. Tens of millions of people, accounting for about 1.7%-2.9% of the total population.

  This ratio is negligible compared with the ratio of eighty to ninety percent in Western countries.

  Actually, no matter what kind of religion it is, it is very difficult to develop on the land of China.

  Because maybe even the Chinese themselves don’t know if 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.

If we insist on saying that Chinese people have any beliefs, they believe in their ancestors and sages. We believe in Mr. Confucius and his way of being a human being. , we have to worship ancestors on Ching Ming Festival, and hang lanterns to write couplets during Chinese New Year. Our belief is very simple, that is, to live a better life, the country is peaceful and the people are safe...

Fortunately, the priest in charge of the speech deeply understood the psychology of Chinese people who like to be greedy for cheap things. He explained in advance that some small things such as clothes, flour, canned food, etc. would be distributed for free later. Otherwise, few people would be able to listen to the priest's speech up.

   Sure enough, after the priest finished his speech, most people flocked to the gift counter to get the gifts first, and no one cared about the next so-called "donation for pleasure".

   It can’t be said that all the people have left, those prominent people in the town are still standing there chatting.

   When Annie, who was wearing a red dress and had a big ominous omen, took the lead in donating, the gentry in the town followed suit.

In fact, for those who donated money, Hao Shuai knew that except for Annie, who was a devout believer because she received a Western-style education abroad and also accepted Western religious beliefs, the others, including David, were just watching for fun. Oh, 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 period, Bai Rourou also discovered the feng shui problem of the church, knowing that these three evil positions are a big danger.

   "Let's wait and see what happens! After all, we are also outsiders, so it's really not easy to meddle in the town's affairs." Hao Shuai hesitated and said.

   "Okay then!" Bai Rourou also knew that Hao Shuai was right, but she demanded: "Then let's stay here for two days!"

   "Alright!" Hao Shuai agreed straightforwardly. He knew that it was the kind-hearted Bai Rourou who couldn't bear to see the chaos in Jiuquan Town due to 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 smashed 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 to accumulate so much evil spirit."

Hao Shuai, who noticed the change, couldn't help muttering: "Even if there are no evil things in the church, but people live in it, under the erosion of Yin Qi, it is not bad to get sick every day or so. After a long time, the body may not be able to bear it." Living."

  However, Hao Shuai didn’t tell the story. That’s the reason. As a foreigner, how many people will believe what you say? !

  Besides, this zombie world is a supernatural world, even Taoists and Buddhists have great supernatural powers that can subdue demons and eliminate ghosts, so the sects with believers all over the world may also have their own unique skills!

  Although Hao Shuai didn't feel the energy fluctuations in Father Wu and the others, he should be fearless with the Lord's protection, plus those Bibles, holy water, and crosses, right? !
