Leaving the reception room, on the way to the elevator.
Shang Jianyao, who was clearly dizzy and still used his excitement to overcome the weakness, walked beside Jiang Baimian and continued chattering:
"You were born in October, you belong to 'Yougu', and you have experienced His gaze, which shows that you are destined, and you should worship..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped Zen Master Purdue from preaching.
In order to conform to the character, this guy has recently read a lot of related old world entertainment materials, and sometimes he seems to be confused.
Is it really good to mention "yougu" at the bottom of the vigilant church? Do you want to be suppressed in the ark like DiMarco, unable to get out for a lifetime, and unable to enter the "new world"? Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart, and added angrily, changing the subject:
"You were born in September, and you don't appear to be a believer in 'Mandala'."
Shang Jianyao didn't answer, and silently took off the tactical backpack behind him.
"What are you doing?" Long Yuehong didn't follow this guy's train of thought.
Shang Jianyao replied calmly:
"Take out the 'Six Consciousness Beads' and wear them, then I will be a qualified 'Mandala' believer."
While speaking, he also raised his fingers to caress his lips.
This is the etiquette of the "Beyond Spirituality" order, which Shang Jianyao learned from his good brother, Terence, the second boss of the "Black Shirt Party".
"Pay attention to politeness!" Jiang Baimian chose the most acceptable reason for Shang Jianyao, "I don't know how many people there are."
"Yeah." Shang Jianyao agreed, pulling on the zipper of the tactical backpack.
At this time, Bai Chen whispered to himself:
"I'm from May and belong to the 'Overseer'.
"Xiaohong is in November and belongs to 'Broken Mirror'..."
"I feel that the relationship between the year and the month is not that strong. At least I don't have the spirit of 'dreaming everywhere, why take it seriously'." Long Yuehong immediately started a discussion on Bai Chen's words.
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian silently rolled his eyes up.
She immediately pressed the button and "summoned" the elevator.
After arriving at the basement level of the Vigilant Church, they put on their masks again and walked up the familiar road.
The hall here is still what Jiang Baimian remembers. It is deep and wide, and red is used a lot, giving people the feeling of being very dangerous and needing to be vigilant.
The red, mixed with golden yellow, renders a strong sacredness.
On the wall in the depths of the hall, the huge symbol composed of the half-covered white door, the darkness behind the door, and the female figure made every entrant instinctively want to lower their heads and escape the gaze of unknown beings through the mysterious door.
At this moment, two groups of people are sitting on the side of the giant symbol, and they are communicating something in the air. The tone is sometimes intense, sometimes slow.
Long Yuehong glanced at it and felt that the seven or eight people on the left side of the holy emblem should belong to the Vigilant Church.
It's not that he recognizes these guys, it's that they're all wearing their iconic masks, hoods.
The five or six people on the right side of the holy emblem shrank back, almost hiding in the darkness brought to the hall by the evening.
They were not wearing masks, and they shivered and trembled, like a frightened quail.
Maybe they were too focused on the dispute, or maybe the sky was almost completely dark, and there were only a few candles in front of the holy emblem in the church hall.
So Shang Jianyao stood on tiptoe, and with the professional spirit of hide-and-seek when he was a child, sneaked and sneaked closer to the past.
Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen followed unabashedly, but those two groups didn't even give them a look.
alert! What about your vigilance? Jiang Baimian gave a "ha" in his heart.
At this moment, she saw Shang Jianyao, who had arrived near the holy emblem, sit down quietly.
Wearing a monkey mask, he sat next to the Vigilant Sect people, and was very close to them, as if they were a group.
The corner of Long Yuehong's mouth twitched, thankful that she was wearing a mask and would not lose face.
As the distance shortened, Jiang Baimian and others could clearly hear what the two groups were arguing about.
An ordinary clergyman belonging to the Vigilant Church said in a serious tone:
"This world is too dangerous, and various disasters may come at any time, so we must be vigilant and face life with such an attitude. Only in this way can we completely overcome the destruction of the old world and usher in the opening of the door to the new world.
"This is what Zhi Sui really wants to warn us."
On the opposite side, a middle-aged man who seemed to be trembling with fright shouted in a shrill voice:
"Yes, this sentence is not wrong, but your point is wrong.
"The point is fear!
"Fear is the oldest and most primitive emotion of human beings and has helped human beings survive to the present.
"Only when we know how to fear gods and fear all things worthy of fear, will we naturally develop vigilance and take corresponding precautions.
"So, vigilance is only an inevitable consequence of our strict adherence to the teachings, not the essence!"
Another vigilant church member wearing a veil hood snapped back:
"The purpose of fear is to be vigilant, not to immerse you in fear and morbidly chase it.
"You put the cart before the horse!"
This seems to be a gray man.
Hearing this, Long Yuehong understood a little, and suddenly sneered:
So, while you are wearing masks and hiding, you act as if someone had put a gun to your waist...
Jiang Baimian listened with relish and sat down at a distance.
Frankly speaking, she feels that the level of debate and theory on both sides is not too high. As far as many of the books she has read, those sects in the old world that have been passed down for thousands of years, the disputes over doctrine have risen to the level of philosophy. On the one hand, citing scriptures and eloquently.
Of course, this did not prevent Jiang Baimian from listening carefully. Similar things are not common in the dust.
"Yes, yes, how can the conditions be regarded as the conclusion?"
"No no no, it's not a relationship between conditions and a conclusion, it's a relationship between the source and the result of its development!"
"… "
Jiang Baimian listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She was familiar with certain words in the conversation just now.
She subconsciously looked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao straightened his neck and echoed loudly.
The next second, he quietly shrank to the floor, and crawled to the other side on the edge of the light.
After sitting down again, he took off the monkey mask with a pointed mouth and a hairy face, and Qi Qing refuted his previous remarks.
I had so much fun... I couldn't even tell that it was a patient... Jiang Baimian was almost exasperated.
At this moment, a rumbling sounded in the air.
The first spring thunder in the Nu Lake area this year has come.
When the thunder subsided, the group of people who preached their fears had fled the hall like "the shit" and hid back to their room.
Those who are vigilant about the church find a place to hide so that they are not exposed to the sight of outsiders.
That is, for more than ten seconds, only Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao, who were sitting alone near the holy emblem, were left in the hall.
After a while, Jiang Baimian sighed:
"Let's go, visit Song Warner."
In Song He's room, the "Old Tune Group" saw this acquaintance again.
He was still the same, his eyebrows were slightly sparse, his sideburns were a little white, his beard was neatly shaved, and he didn't grow old much.
"May your vigilance last forever." Song He raised his arms, crossed them in front of his chest, and took a step back.
"Distance is our friend!" Shang Jianyao responded with the same gesture.
Song He didn't change his expression, looked at Xue Yueyue wearing a delicate monk mask, and asked with a smile:
"Why did you return to the redstone set again?"
"I plan to go to the ruins of Tieshan City and meet the intelligent person here." Jiang Baimian replied simply.
Without waiting for Song He to ask again, she inquired curiously:
"Warning Song, what happened to those people in the hall just now?"
Song He showed a wry smile:
"Congregants of the same root are debating doctrine."
He immediately explained two sentences:
"After the destruction of the old world, the first batch of favored people who received the enlightenment of Zhisui developed believers and formed a sect, but as time went on, differences appeared among them. One group believed that Zhisui was the embodiment of vigilance, while the other group insisted Fear is the root cause.
"None of them could convince the other. After arguing for a few years, each pulled their supporters to establish their own doors. The original 'Yougu' church split into a vigilant sect and a fearful sect.
"After that, every few years, they would pick representatives and locations, get together, and continue the debate."
"Is that so..." Shang Jianyao made a sudden realization.
Too bad he's wearing a mask.
Jiang Baimian continued to ask:
"What about those who preach kindness?"
"That's something else." Song He's expression darkened, obviously unwilling to say more.
When Shang Jianyao saw this, he raised a question that he was "incomprehensible":
"Didn't Zhi Sui point out what was wrong?"
Teachers do not give reference answers, do not mark examination papers
Song He smiled gently:
"Until now, both churches have been able to get old-fashioned responses, occasionally, every year.
"So in my opinion, they are all reasonable, and they all practice the teachings of Zhi Sui to a certain extent, but they are reflected in different aspects.
"Hehe, I can't talk anymore, don't talk about it, or the bishop will punish me for copying the teachings related to vigilance."
Song He said so, of course Jiang Baimian is not good to ask about this matter, after all, this is a vigilant church, and there are "yougu" watching.
She deliberately said:
"Warning Song, DiMarco's father, grandfather, or great-grandfather, did you ever leave the 'underground ark' and go to the ruins of Tieshan City?"
Ah... what does the leader mean? How can you ask such a strange question? Long Yuehong was stunned, and suddenly made a clever move.
DiMarco, or the Awakened who "played" DiMarco and his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, is in the realm of "Bodhi"!
The ruins of Tieshan City, separated by a mountain, are one of the five sacred places of Buddhism!
This seems a bit of a coincidence.
Until this time, Long Yuehong didn't really understand the reason why the team leader insisted on waiting for Genava in Hongshiji instead of the area near the ruins of Tieshan City.
She not only wanted to see the effectiveness of the work of the Ark Management Committee, but also planned to investigate the issue of "Yan Hu" and the relationship between DiMarco and the Buddhist holy site in the ruins of Tieshan City.
