After waking up

There is no doubt that Ivan is a devout believer in the Holy Light, but he is also an energetic young man. As a clergyman, he maintains a sense of solemnity and holiness in front of outsiders, but he also has problems such as depression, anxiety, and expectations. Or emotions.

At first, Ivan just hoped that Mulan would yearn for the Holy Light, because he could see that this outstanding young man was not a truly devout believer.

After a lot of chatting back and forth, Alvin discovered that Mulan was better than expected. He was humorous and knowledgeable. Many of the theological problems that troubled Alvin, but after thinking about them, Mulan was actually able to put forward suggestions to solve the problems. Although it may not solve the problem, it is a new idea.

This made Ivan feel more and more that Mulan should embrace the Holy Light. At the same time, communication with Mulan was no longer limited to priests and believers, and they had become friends unknowingly.

Some friends need to be together for a long time to understand that they are trustworthy, and some friends can often feel the sincerity of the other party after being together for a short time. In Mulan's eyes, the good head priest is such a person.

Mulan also wants some new friends in this world, especially Alvin, who is a templar priest who truly understands the power of the Holy Light. He is very suitable for chatting or studying together.

It's just that compared to the sincere and frank Ivan, Mulan is more scheming. Although they have not known each other for a long time, Mulan has been testing him almost every time they meet, and he has slowly figured out Ivan's past, temperament and habits. .

After fighting for a while, Mulan and Ivan finally stopped.

In the open space outside the corridor of the inner sanctum, Mulan had taken off his coat and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. He was on the left and Alvin was on the right. The two of them grabbed one end of the sheet and squeezed out the water together.

Drops of water were squeezed out of the twist-shaped sheets. The two of them shook the sheets together and threw them onto the clothes drying pole to spread them out.

Mulan was about to put on his coat again, when Alvin went to get a mop and broom, which made Mulan's brows jump.

"You don't mean to"

"Yes, you are here just in time, so I can feel a lot more relaxed."

"No, no, I have to go to the dance. I think it's getting late too. I have to go."

"It's only the afternoon, it's still early!"

Today is the weekend. Although there is no so-called rest day in the church, weekends have no religious significance in the church books. Perhaps due to habit, Valentine's church is often deserted on weekends.

Different from Mullan's memory of the earth, although the data of days, weeks, months and years are roughly the same, the concept of weekends does not come from religion, but also comes from ancient astrological observations, because the moon of this world also has a small satellite. According to its orbit around the moon The laws of operation and the cycles that people can observe determine the seven days of the week.

The satellite of this satellite was called the Hidden Moon and the Weird Moon in ancient times. It was regarded as the second moon because it appeared occasionally and its visible size change rate was much faster than that of the first big moon, making it look very weird. , making many people afraid of it.

The habit of resting on weekends was due to the fact that the strange moon blocked most of the shining moon on that day in ancient times. It was regarded as ominous and made people uneasy, so they wanted to hide at home.

It was not until astronomy gradually emerged that some people began to understand the relationship between the two moons. However, in many places, there are still many people who are afraid of the strange moon.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Mulan and Ivan were cleaning the church hall, which was not dirty. In addition to sweeping and mopping the floor, they also had to wipe every chair. Mulan felt that these tasks could replace today's exercise.

"I said Alvin, how often do you clean here?"

Ivan was wiping the chair and raised his head to look at Mulan.

“A day off every weekend.”

"You do it yourself every time? Have you not considered hiring a female worker or something?"

Ivan continued to wipe the chair and turned his attention to the Holy Light statue at the bottom of the church.

"It is also a kind of practice to keep the church spotless by yourself, and it only happens once a week. When I was in the church welfare home, it was very happy to clean the church with everyone."

"Have you been this religious since you were a child?"

Mulan washed the rag and wiped a bench next to Ivan. He was as meticulous as Ivan and had no intention of being lazy.

"Hahaha, there was nothing pious or impious when I was a kid. It was just that after cleaning, everyone had sweets to eat, and maybe even some pastries!"

Mulan was silent for a moment, then immediately looked at the light image of the temple with a smile, and joked to Ivan.

"You said in the church that you were not religious when you were a child, and you were not afraid of God's punishment?"

"God naturally understands my piety at the moment, so I don't have any fear in my heart. Come on, work quickly, there are still dozens of chairs to clean, don't miss the dance!"

"Yes, yes, hey"

Mulan sighed and seriously considered whether to come to Ivan on weekends in the future.

In just two hours, the entire church was spotless, and Mulan still had plenty of time to go to the dance. He was not in a hurry to leave, and sat with Ivan in the place closest to the Holy Light Statue to chat.

After talking nonsense, Mulan suddenly looked at the Holy Light Statue and asked.

"Why is there not a statue of God in the temple, but a statue of Holy Light?"

Mulan had hardly read any of the temple books. If he had any questions, he asked Aiwen directly. The latter was naturally very clear about such issues.

"God is unpredictable. He can never appear or can incarnate into a person or even anything. God loves mankind and all things. The holy light is God's blessing to mankind and a symbol of divine grace. Mortals can speculate The divine form is a kind of blasphemy, so we set up the holy light and the place of mission is the temple.”

"That's it"

"So there are many people with bad character who enslave and oppress kind and suffering people. How will God view that?"

When Mulan asked this question, he didn't mean to provoke God at all. He let his mind go and let himself have a pure desire for knowledge.

"Good and evil are human perceptions. How God sees us is different. He loves everyone and tolerates everyone."

"What about you, what will you do?"

"Focus on persuasion and guidance."

"What if I can't persuade you?"

"The world's humanity will awaken under the holy light."

"What if there are some pure villains who just don't make sense?"

Ai Wen glanced at Mulan, thought for a moment and said.

"That is the business of the royal family and the government. The church does not interfere with the secular world."

"What about you, what would you do if no one knew you, you were not wearing a priest's uniform, and you saw something bad happening? And let me add, you are the only one around."

Ai Wen endured it with a sullen face for a few seconds and asked seriously.

"Can I cover my face?"

"Uh, okay."

"beat him!"

Mulan was stunned for two seconds, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

"Hahahahahaha, you guys will never become a bishop, hahahaha."

When Aiwen couldn't help but want to hit Mulan, Mulan quickly got up and returned to seriousness, saying that it was getting late and he really should go.

After watching Mulan get up and leave, Ivan looked at the bench next to him. Whether it was wiped by him or Mulan, they were all spotless, and he couldn't help but smile.

The gloom of the world cannot cover up your nobility. May the holy light shine on you, my friend!
