The old village chief left without pain and very quietly. ◇↓,
The atmosphere in the village was somewhat depressing. Although the old village head did not lead the village to prosperity, he was still a competent village head. Usually, if the family had any difficulties, he would help out. The village is not big, and everyone usually sees each other without looking up, and they also have a lot of affection for each other. Suddenly, there is no one, which really makes people feel sad when they are free.
Because of the relationship with the temple, Liang Lidong personally presided over the funeral ceremony of the old village chief. Although he is not a real priest, he has never seen a pig climb a tree, but has always seen a pig walk. He is also very clear about the way np priests pray for the dead in the game.
The old village head was buried on a mountain not far from the village. There is a village cemetery there. In more than two years, the old village head has already chosen the location of his cemetery.
Kyle and another villager carried the coffin and lifted the old village chief to the hillside. Many people came to the funeral, not only almost all the people from the village came, but also Babara, Alice, and the girl in black robe.
The three of them, plus Belin, stood beside Kyle who was devastated. Although the relationship between them seemed to be peaceful, a person like Liang Lidong with a keen willpower could feel that there was an undercurrent of fighting among the four of them.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
The black coffin of the old village chief had already been placed in the earthen pit. Liang Lidong took a small jar and slowly dried white table salt on the coffin. Salt has the function of exorcising evil spirits, and it can protect the old man's body from being affected by dark elements and other evil forces for a long time.
"Your life in this life is already perfect. Although your soul is not noble, it is enough to be admired. If you don't seek an afterlife, I will pray to the god you believe in to bring your soul to heaven. Old Reed, you Tell me, do you want to live in the next life, or to live in the kingdom of God forever."
Liang Lidong seemed to be talking to an invisible soul, and everyone thought it was just a scene from the pastor, but two seconds later. A huge golden disc descended from the sky. It also had a pair of golden wings. Most importantly, it was a spirit body with a translucent body.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the golden disc stayed on the black coffin of the old village chief for a while, and then flew away towards the sky with a vague young figure, and soon disappeared.
In the surprised eyes of others, a certain old man exclaimed: "That's the young Village Chief Reed!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Kyle cast his eyes on Liang Lidong in surprise, he hoped that his teacher could give an affirmative answer, an answer he liked most.
Not only him, but other villagers were also looking at Liang Lidong.
Liang Lidong nodded, living up to everyone's expectations: "Well, Old Reed was brought to live in the Kingdom of God by Goddess Wojin. He has since escaped the cycle of life, old age, sickness and death, and will always be happy. Don't be too sad, Kyle. Old Reed's departure It’s just a new beginning, if you also become a true believer of Goddess Woking, then when you die, Goddess Woking will naturally bring you to the Kingdom of God and reunite you with Grandpa.”
For most common people in this world, the Kingdom of God is a very distant thing. Although they also believe in God, they never think that they can live in the Kingdom of God. But now there is a living example in front of me. The examples they saw with their own eyes made them even more awed and loved Goddess Woking.
Positive feelings towards the shrine will turn into faith. Liang Lidong's system interface keeps reminding that some believers have turned into fanatics, and at the same time, his shrine contribution value is also constantly increasing.
It's really unintentional. Liang Lidong sighed in his heart. Then he said, "Kyle, bury the coffin, don't let your grandpa's body sit in the sun for too long."
"Okay!" After learning that his grandfather had gone to the Kingdom of God, Kyle immediately cheered up. He picked up a shovel and began to fill the pit with soil. According to the rules of this world, only relatives are eligible to fill the grave with the first shovel of soil. If the deceased has no relatives, the pastor will do it for him.
After burying the old village chief, Liang Lidong returned to the temple. He sat on the bed, looking up and thinking about the situation just now.
At the funeral, he discovers that he can see the spirit of the old village chief, which is very strange. If he could see souls, why did he kill so many people but couldn't see a single one. Or does it have something to do with the Goddess Woking? After all, she was the one who took away the soul of the old village chief.
Or... Liang Lidong can see the souls of the followers of the Goddess Wojin? After all, he is now the priest of the Goddess Woking. Although he does not believe in the Goddess Woking himself, his current position is approved by the Goddess.
He was lying on the bed, still thinking about this question, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
When he woke up, he found that he was on a flat golden floating platform, and there was a high step leading directly to Yunxiao in front.
What was even more surprising was that Liang Lidong saw a young man not far ahead, who looked somewhat similar to Kyle. The young man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Beta, I didn't expect to meet again so soon?"
"Old village chief?" Liang Lidong asked in a questioning tone.
The young man nodded: "It's me. I would like to thank Your Excellency for helping me communicate with the goddess, otherwise my half-baked believers would have no way of entering the Kingdom of God."
The old village chief was indeed just a shallow believer. After the funeral, Liang Lidong still wondered why shallow believers could enter the Kingdom of God. It turned out that this matter had something to do with him.
"The goddess is waiting for you up there, you should go see her as soon as possible. She asked me to tell you that she helped you realize your wish and let me go to the Kingdom of God. Now she has something to ask you, so you can't run away by yourself like last time Lost."
Ok! Liang Lidong already knew that the Goddess Wojin would not harm him, and he touched his left hand, where the 'Tifa's Bracer' was there, and he immediately stepped up the golden sky ladder with a glimpse of the horizon.
When he stepped on the stairs, before he had walked three steps, he had already reached the floating platform on the highest floor. It seemed that this was just a moment, but he really remembered that he had walked 130,000 steps, but he felt that it took less than three seconds to complete the 130,000 steps.
Reason told him that it took him more than five hours to walk down the 130,000 steps, but his body instinct told him. Only three seconds had passed in real time.
He couldn't figure out what he was feeling because it was so contradictory.
Not far in front of him is a tall golden throne, on which the Goddess Wojin sits, looking down at Liang Lidong: "Don't be surprised by such trivial things, I'm here this time. I have something to think about." Let you handle it."
Liang Lidong kept this feeling in his heart. He was already a legend in the game, so his knowledge was definitely not bad. Intuition told him that this kind of feeling might be the difference between gods and humans, and if he wanted to hit the demigod realm one day, then this kind of feeling might come in handy.
"Goddess Wojin, glad to see you again." Liang Lidong greeted with a smile.
Goddess Wojin waved her jade hand: "Okay, I know you are not my true believer. You only have respect for me in the ordinary sense, and you have no fear or love, so you don't have to flatter me hypocritically. This time you Pulling here, I just want to ask you, what do you think of the oracle sent by the four main gods?"
"Oh, how does the goddess know that I can see the oracle beam of light?"
Woking's perfect pink lips pulled out a beautiful arc slightly: "Since you can see me, you can also see the oracle, which is a matter of course. There are only two kinds of people who can look directly at God. One is One is a half-god, half-human powerhouse, and the other is a truth seeker."
"Ordinary people don't dare to look directly at the god's mansion. Because it will cause fatal damage to their souls. You are too weak to be a demigod, and unbelievers can't see the existence of the god's mansion, so you can only They are truth seekers. Truth seekers can observe all the laws of everything in the world, even gods, and they can observe them. The only weakness is that they are not strong."
Liang Lidong was a little surprised: "It's the first time I've heard such a statement." At the same time, he understood in his heart. A truth seeker is actually a materialist, just called it differently.
"Let's not mention the matter of the truth seeker for now, I will explain it to you later when I have the opportunity." Goddess Wojin was wearing a white gold-rimmed dress at this time, which was regarded as a private server. She stood up from the throne and walked one meter in front of Liang Lidong: "The four gods issued oracles at the same time. This means that the holy war is about to begin. It is difficult for our gods to interfere in the disputes between humans, so we can only choose one Agents of humanity to transmit our will."
"And at times like this, an agent is very important. A strong, intelligent, and wise agent is hard to find, but I think you are a qualified agent. So I plan to appoint you as my pope, Fully responsible for the expansion and dissemination of the Volking Cult among humans."
Woking's body is very fragrant, even one meter away can smell it. That is not the fragrance of flowers, but a fragrance of the soul. The Persian cat and Xiaobai also have this smell, but the smells of the three are not the same, but they all smell good.
Liang Lidong took a light breath, not sure if he was tasting the fragrance of Goddess Wojin, or was startled by Goddess Wojin's words. He thought for a while and said, "But I'm not your believer. It's a bit difficult for me to become your believer."
"I know that a truth seeker will not become anyone's believer." Goddess Woking smiled, and the smile made people's hearts flutter: "But my Pope doesn't have to be my believer, as long as he is willing to be my friend, And you just need to be willing to develop the congregation for me. Of course, I won’t let you work in vain, the better you do as Pope, the more you will get in the future.”
Liang Lidong is willing to believe a promise made by a god's residence, personally promised. Now he was worried that he couldn't level up quickly. If Goddess Wojin was satisfied, her gifts would be transformed into character experience by the system, and then the goal of leveling up quickly would be achieved.
Liang Lidong thought quietly, and Goddess Wojin looked at him with interest in front.
After the oracle was sent down by the four divine mansions, Goddess Wojin found him directly, and he could guess what kind of plan the other party had. The more troubled the world is, the more opportunities careerists will have. Goddess Wojin's divine power is almost exhausted now. If it were in a peaceful age, it would be almost impossible to recover quickly. After all, the 'turf' of other divine mansions is not easy to grab.
But if the world is in chaos, it will be easy, fishing in troubled waters, picking grains out of fire... Now the goddess Wojin is an ambitious person, and her ** is not a throne, a territory. It's the number of believers, divine power, and status in the heavens.
"The position of the Pope is very powerful, and he can have a lot of resources." Liang Lidong looked at the other party: "Because I am not your believer, you have no way to directly control me. Are you not worried that I will use the position of the Pope to benefit myself?"
"That's because you need to develop your sect to benefit yourself, right?" Goddess Wojin took two steps back with bare feet, and then she turned around, her long bright golden hair spread out in the air, shining a little bit. Jin Guang, with the corners of his skirt fluttering, was happy: "I remember you asked me last time if I could agree to any conditions. Now I will reply to you again, as long as you develop the sect and your strength reaches half God, then it doesn't matter if I'm your wife."
Liang Lidong couldn't help whistling: "For the sake of the believers, you are really willing to spend your money."
"Although I am not the most beautiful goddess in the heavens, I am definitely the most reasonable goddess in the heavens." Wojin smiled: "For truth seekers like you, wealth and power have no influence. The only thing that can make you Knowledge and truth are what fascinate you. If one day you become a demigod, your curiosity will definitely push you to develop into the God Realm. If you have my help, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Heaven Realm soon. And I I can also get a trustworthy and discerning pope as my man."
"Of course, all of this has to be based on the premise that you must become a demigod."
Goddess Wojin was still smiling, but there was already a bit of seriousness in her smile: "Besides, jihad is extremely dangerous, and it is extremely difficult for you to extract millet from the fire. After all, what you are facing is also chosen by other gods. The strong, whether it is strength or wisdom, they must be the top choice. You should be able to see that I am very weak now, this is my last chance, and you are my last hope."
"If you succeed, I will not fail you."
After Liang Lidong woke up, these words still lingered in his ears.
If it was said that yesterday he only felt that the jihad was very likely to happen, then after talking with Goddess Woking, he was sure that the jihad would definitely happen.
"Jihad!"
Liang Lidong sighed and got up from the bed. The weather outside the temple was still fine, but he already felt that the world was full of oppression.
The murderous aura of the gods, the evil spirits of the human world, and the hostility of the evil gods in the demon world will soon gather together. After the holy war, there must be a god who disappeared, just like the goddess Woking disappeared.
But Goddess Wojin was lucky, because Liang Lidong helped her reopen the divine religion, which made her wake up from the weak sleepiness.
What about the god's mansion that fell in this jihad? Will they have such luck? (… )
