Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 888 Infiltration

"Your Majesty's Oracle!" As they spoke, they bowed again and quietly began to retreat.

Zhang Deming ignored them and floated out of the ground, floating up to the surface and arriving at the place where Lu Congyuan disappeared. According to the memory he searched, he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

The dark basement returned to silence. As the runes flickered, there was only one figure, quietly sleeping in it.

······

"Why are you here? The service is about to start!" When Zhang Deming came to the side hall of the main church and the dressing room of the trainee priest according to his memory, a young man eagerly came up to him and said.

Fei Mingtai, the senior pastor of the Third Ring, is extremely talented. He was promoted to the main church at a young age and has a bright future.

Looking at the other party, a colorful ball of light flashed in Zhang Deming's mind, and the memory information from Lu Congyuan emerged.

Like Lu Congyuan, this man is a trainee pastor of the main church. He is a person who helps the preaching pastor. To put it in perspective, he is similar to Hongmeng's steward and the boy before him.

Of course, the main church is not just a place for children.

Zhang Deming showed an apologetic smile and said: "I slept a little late last night, overslept this morning, and got up a little late, which delayed me a little."

"Hurry up and get your clothes and go. You're almost late. It's your turn to preach today!" After hearing this, Fei Mingtai replied without further questioning.

Zhang Deming nodded. The ceremonial robe worn by the preaching pastor was very troublesome and difficult to handle by himself, so there would be a dedicated person to take care of it.

It was their daily job to wait for the pastor to change his clothes during the sermon. Zhang Deming turned around, picked up a robe and left.

"What are you doing with the green ones?" Fei Mingtai said suddenly.

"Huh?" Zhang Deming was stunned for a moment. The time was a bit short, and Lu Congyuan's memory processing was not perfect.

Because he couldn't swallow Lu Congyuan's memory. Memory is the fundamental thing of a person, and a person's character, temper, and even will are largely determined by it.

And his life is only a hundred years old. If he swallows up decades of memories of someone, there will be problems, big problems.

He just extracted Lu Congyuan's memory and made it into something similar to a computer database. Only if he searches it will relevant information emerge, and he will not provide it proactively.

Therefore, Zhang Deming was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He had questions, and the corresponding information emerged from the seven-colored light group in his mind, and there was quite a lot of it.

‘Golden robe for communion, black robe for funeral, white robe for daily worship, green robe…’

Zhang Deming: "······"

‘So particular? He really comes from a religious background! '

"Um, thank you. I almost took it by mistake. I might have to be reprimanded again!" Zhang Deming said without any panic.

Fei Mingtai glanced at Zhang Deming and said: "Forget it, I'll do it today, and you can be responsible for the holy water baptism. I don't know what you did last night!"

After saying that, he took the initiative to get a white priest's robe.

Zhang Deming retrieved the memory ball, and it seemed that such a replacement was not uncommon. He happened to not have to wait on others, so he hid without objection and said with a smile: "Thanks!"

Fei Mingtai was obviously familiar with Lu Congyuan. He glared at Zhang Deming and said, "Don't stay up late before next Sunday!"

After saying that, he took his clothes and went to the other side.

Zhang Deming did not follow. According to the memory information, the work of holy water baptism was at the door, using holy water to baptize visitors.

Well, it's actually just a job of welcoming guests. It just changed from bending down and bowing to say welcome to guests, to guarding a basin of water and giving people a few random nods.

It is somewhat similar to a Western Catholic ceremony in the past life, but it is very different. Anyway, it is just a welcome work.

And because there are so many people, he doesn't need to follow the etiquette honestly. He can use a little magic to fool him, which is a relatively easy job.

······

After Fei Mingtai left, Zhang Deming also turned around and left the locker room and came to the main church.

In terms of architectural style, it is very similar to Western churches in previous generations, with extremely strong religious elements.

There are countless rows of benches in the hall, which are used by worshipers. There is a wide aisle in the middle, which only leads to the bottom of the hall.

At the bottom is a high platform, which is obviously used by priests to preach. What is slightly different from the previous life is that the sculptures on the walls of the high platform are no longer crosses, and there is no crucified Jesus.

Instead, it is a male angel with spread wings, a benevolent face, and his hands making a gesture as if he is holding a newborn baby. According to Vatican legend, he should be embracing the new-born light.

But probably because sculpture is difficult to express, nothing was carved. However, there is a skylight on the top of the church, and the early morning light just passes through it. Probably because of the peculiarity of the glass, it looks very strange.

The dressing room was behind the high platform. Zhang Deming left the dressing room and came to the church's pulpit. He stood between the rows of benches and the pulpit, took a look at the church, and then walked toward the door.

There is a gap between the hall and the gate that is empty, like a compartment, with a round pillar in the center.

The pillar is thigh-thick, just over one meter tall. On top of the pillar is a pool slightly larger than the washbasin, with some clean water in it.

Inside is the so-called holy water. In other branch churches, this kind of thing is actually just a decoration and a symbolic thing.

The holy water here in the main church is slightly different. Zhang Deming sensed that they had a slight purifying effect, but it was very subtle.

This compartment is called the baptistery, and it is said to be used to wash away the filth of mortals so that people can approach the sun god in a pure manner.

In fact, it can't be called a partition. It's just the entrance gap between the door and the hall. It's just that this gap is slightly wider.

Because Zhang Deming arrived late, it was almost the opening time, so when Zhang Deming arrived in a hurry, the intern pastor who was waiting to open the door was obviously a little anxious.

"Why are you here?" One of the two people asked, obviously relieved when they saw Zhang Deming arriving.

Zhang Deming smiled and said: "Some things have delayed me for a while, isn't it time?"

As he spoke, he came to the stone pillar of the baptistery. There was an obvious standing platform here. Zhang Deming stood on it, straightened his appearance, and then nodded to the two trainee priests.

Seeing this, the two of them no longer hesitated, stretched out their hands, and slowly opened the heavy hall door.

There were already a lot of people waiting outside. They had been organized into a team. When they saw it, the door was opened and they started to enter one by one.

When they passed the pool where Zhang Deming was, someone subconsciously wanted to come to him and accept Zhang Deming's baptism, but someone immediately guided him and went directly to the main hall.

Under his doubtful eyes, Zhang Deming saw that the flow of people was almost over. He touched the pool with his hands and sprinkled water on everyone.

As the faint spiritual power fluctuations spread, water drops sprinkled on everyone. The rising sun shines through the door and reflects the colorful light through the water droplets, rendering the entrance somewhat dreamy.

"Wow..."

Many people had never seen such a scene and were slightly surprised, but it did not cause confusion.

"May the Lord shine on you!" Zhang Deming whispered with a pious face at this time. In the faint light, he looked a little holy, like a magic stick. He was very familiar with this kind of thing and was extremely skilled.

Although everyone was surprised, this process looked strange, but it was more of a light and shadow effect caused by sunlight, similar to a rainbow.

In addition, Transcendent is no longer so secretive now, and there is a real Transcendent pastor in the main church, so it is not unacceptable.

Therefore, one by one, without any commotion, they entered the venue one after another. Zhang Deming, on the other hand, is honest and greets every group of people who come in. He is working hard.

Although it was well organized and people queued up in advance, the main church was very big after all, so the admission lasted nearly twenty minutes to complete.

When everyone entered the room, Zhang Deming, who had no problem, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The young trainee pastor, who looked like a doorman, nodded slightly and turned around to enter the main hall.

The entire hall was already overcrowded at this moment. Not only was everyone full, there were even a few people standing at the end. This is a situation that has slowly appeared over the past two months after Transcendent gradually appeared.

At this time, the sermon had begun, and I met the pastor who was hosting the service today, Zhang Deming. In other words, he has collected information about the other party before and is on his candidate list.

Name: Su Weicheng

Cultivation: Four-ring legendary priest.

Identity: One of the archbishops of the cathedral, responsible for daily affairs and one of the cardinals.

Looking at the other party, Zhang Deming was slightly confused for a moment. As a cardinal, it is not uncommon to preside over sermons, but it is not common either.

According to the memory, today should not be a special day, and Lu Congyuan did not seem to have received any special news before. According to the memory, today should be an ordinary Bishop Lin's sermon.

Looking at Su Weicheng who had begun to read the Bible every day, Zhang Deming's doubts disappeared for a moment, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He walked along the edge of the hall and quietly came to the corner of the pulpit and stood with Fei Mingtai.

"Why is it that Bishop Su is delivering the sermon today?" Zhang Deming stood still for a moment before whispering in Mrs. Fei Ming's ear.

Fei Mingtai was obviously a little nervous because of Su Weicheng. After hearing the voice, he subconsciously looked at Su Weicheng who was preaching in front of the stage.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he seemed to be relieved and said, "I don't know. I only found out that it was Bishop Su who was preaching when I went to the locker room."

"What's delaying Bishop Lin?" Zhang Deming asked.

"I don't know, stop talking!" Fei Mingtai was extremely nervous and decisively ended the two people's desertion, because this was already considered ungodly to the Lord.
