Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

Looking at the second elder of the shrine who was walking slowly, the pope stood up. The originally clear sky was blocked by a dark cloud, and the entire temple became dark.

So everyone held their breath and watched the scene in front of them. Lu Fan and others at the temple were a little confused. Today is the day of universal celebration in the temple. What does the temple want to do? Do they really want to fight regardless of the consequences?

Kong Shansong of the Stardust Federation is a little happy. He is happy that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no matter the outcome... it would be best if the temple can win.

The Duke of Pei State gently twirled the hair of the tiger at his feet. He looked at the second elder and thought that this grand ceremony had come at the right time. After waiting for a long time, the show finally came on stage.

Bai Jinghu turned his head and looked at the Pope curiously, breathing heavily.

If someone stares at it at this time, they will find that it seems to be grinning.

After walking to a position three steps in front of the Pope, Second Elder Zhuo Chengen looked at the live broadcast camera. At this moment, the live broadcast camera was facing the people in the temple below, and there was no live broadcast.

"Ask your heart." Zhuo Chengen withdrew his gaze and said two words to the Pope.

Hearing Zhuo Chengen's words, the Pope's originally slightly nervous heart became relaxed. He looked at Bishop Whitebeard and signaled that he was fine and could continue the live broadcast.

The so-called question of mind refers to the understanding of faith between clergy members. It is mostly in the form of questions and answers to compare the level of the state of mind.

Just like the Buddhist practice of sitting down and talking about Taoism, it belongs to Wenbi.

Hearing Zhuo Chengen's words, many people felt relieved, such as the priests who served the gods to celebrate the founding of the temple - this has been a tradition of the temple since ancient times:

Whenever a grand festival comes, the purple-robed priests of the temple will cook various delicacies in the open air of the temple, such as steaming soft and fragrant rice, cooking sweet and delicious rice wine, and stewing various fragrant and delicious dishes.

, they will watch these fragrant smells rising into the sky to express their offerings to the gods and express their gratitude for the food given by the gods in front of them... They will happily enjoy these delicacies after offering sacrifices to the gods.

This year's tribute food is much richer than in previous years. After all, biological materials from the Pei Kingdom and the Federation are being continuously sent, and the temple is the distributor of these living materials.

In the temple, only purple-robed priests and above have the right to worship. Like many civilian believers in Jingguo, they sometimes use baked pasta and meat... and use its aroma to offer offerings to the gods in their hearts.

Different classes have different eating habits, but their offerings to gods are always the same.

"Excuse me." Looking at Zhuo Chengen, who was a little shorter than him, the Pope asked. He had been in seclusion for a long time and thought he was quite knowledgeable in theology. Now that the shrine has sent people to cause trouble, he just took this opportunity.

Let the world see the orthodox temples in the world...or how outstanding I am as the Pope.

In this way, the more people who believe, the more followers there will be.

"Qiu Fu, do you believe in fate?" Zhuo Chengen asked softly, but such an ordinary sentence sounded like thunder in the sky, and people near and far from him could hear it clearly.

Qiu Fu was silent, and after a moment he answered softly:

"letter."

"The so-called fate is the Creator."

"The Creator is God."

"To meet God, you must believe in Him and then see Him." As he said this, the Pope glanced at the believers in the temple below.

Then he turned to look at Zhuo Chengen, with a relaxed smile on his face and continued:

"Isn't it the same for you? You must first believe and then you can see God. Ordinary people see God first and then decide whether to believe or not."

"And some people won't believe it even if they see a miracle with their own eyes."

"This is life."

After the Pope finished speaking, the black-robed guards in the temple burst into cheers and applause. The live broadcast camera focused on the excited-looking black-robed guards. It was an appropriate explanation that the Pope had won the trust of the believers on this issue.

The Pope's answer was impeccable, and Zhuo Chengen said a word of "please" at this time.

Next is the question that the Pope wants to ask Zhuo Chengen: "Why doesn't God come directly to the world and accept the worship of believers?"

Upon hearing the Pope's question, Zhuo Cheng'en said directly without hesitation: "You just said that some people do not believe in the existence of gods even if they see miracles."

Zhuo Chengen's words floated in everyone's ears:

"No matter how you prove it, they just don't believe it. Just like so many dragon sightings in history, they will say it is just unproven science. Even if they really see a dragon flying in the sky, they will think it is an alien.

Human beings, or just illusions, are not gods at all.”

"What's the result of God's coming to the world? They still don't believe it."

"Then the devout believers begin to isolate those who do not believe, and the end result is the massacre of non-believers."

"Even if such an extreme situation does not occur, if God comes, the entire social order will collapse."

"Those who serve as officials begin to take off their official uniforms and repent and worship at home."

"Ah, it turns out there really is a god. What kind of class are you still in?"

"Then people from all walks of life began to stop going to work. They thought it would be better to worship the gods at home. In this way, the gods would bless their families with safety or wealth."

“No one was growing food anymore, no one was transporting food, and famine followed.”

"Once those devout believers gain power, in order to create a beautiful religious environment for their descendants, they will risk going to hell, and they will also take desperate risks to pacify countries that have no faith."

"So, it is not possible for God to descend directly." Zhuo Chengen said, turning around and looking at the people below: "What must be done after God descends, otherwise the entire human order will fall into chaos."

"If God wants to pay wages, he also needs to produce food. Is this enough?"

"Obviously not."

"Everyone has his own desires."

"After eating and drinking, will believers still ask God to conjure luxury cars? Beautiful women? Villas? And then want to live forever?"

“What if God doesn’t agree?”

"Oh, I believe in you so devoutly, but you are just a passing thought. Why don't you help me... you..."

"Believe me, all God will hear is complaints."

"So, God cannot come directly to the world."

Silence, stillness.

After Zhuo Chengen finished speaking, the temple square with hundreds of people was eerily quiet.

Yes, if God comes to the world and you believe in it devoutly, what will you ask God to do for you?

Feeling something in his heart, Chu Huan whispered to Zhuo Feng at this time: "This person's preaching skills are much better than you."

"My second uncle..." Zhuo Feng said smoothly: "He has been able to talk nonsense since he was a child."

"Tit-for-tat is much better than punching and kicking."

"Then you have never seen Wen Xinwen end up hugging him to the ground and starting a fight." Zhuo Feng had seen this kind of scene many times, and felt that he was used to it.

Applause is sometimes a form of approval.

Silence sometimes does not mean opposition.

The Pope looked at some of the temple believers below who had suddenly come to their senses. Since there was no distinction between them, let's continue. He said the word "please" to Zhuo Cheng'en again.

"Let's talk about cause and effect." Zhuo Chengen asked calmly.

"Karma..." After hearing this question, the Pope pondered, and seemed to be considering how to talk about this issue. Now the live broadcast is going on. When hearing Zhuo Chengen's question, the people present did not dare to breathe. Under the spotlight,

The Pope didn't dare to spend too much time thinking - he picked up the water on the side and took a sip. While drinking the water, he summarized what he wanted to say, and then spoke loudly:

"In a secular society, many people say that people with gold belts who commit murder and arson cannot stand firm if they are not ruthless, and only those with a black heart can get rich, etc. However, people who abide by the law and have never done anything harmful to nature endure poverty and disease."

"So many people think there is no karma in this world."

"People who think this way only see the surface of cause and effect, but do not see the depth and breadth of cause and effect."

"You tell believers that good people will be rewarded with good things. This is to make believers invest in being good people. But believers don't know how long it will take for good people to be rewarded with good things."

"Some people have worked hard to be good people for two years, but their lives have not changed much. They still have no money, no women, and no status. So they choose not to be good people anymore, or even take risks and become evil people."

"Cause and effect is not to make believers believe anything, but to tell believers that life is not inevitable, but accidental."

"Or maybe you're lucky."

"Life could be much worse."

"Only by knowing how to be grateful and being extremely pious can you be saved at critical moments."

"So, faith is not a business, neither is cause and effect. Those who preach that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil mostly don't understand cause and effect."

"Because believers can only see the present and cannot see the next life or the future of future generations."

"Some causes of past karma cannot be seen in this life until thirty or even fifty years later."

After speaking, the Pope once again picked up the bottle in his hand and took a sip of water while observing everyone's performance.

After he finished speaking this time, most of the people below were silent, with some whispering.

"It's okay, but how do you feel about it..." Zhuo Feng began to comment: "Just like scratching an itch with five fingers is the most comfortable, what Qiu Fu said is like scratching an itch with three fingers. You think he can do it?"

OK, but I still feel like I haven’t scratched the most itchy place.”

At this time, Jia Jiushan looked back at Zhuo Feng, his eyes full of approval. Although Zhuo Feng's metaphor was inelegant, it pointed to the crux of the Pope's answer.

"You go ahead." Xue Yue said at this time.

"Tch, you think I'm afraid?" Zhuo Feng got excited: "I'm not bragging, I've been talking to other scholars since I was three years old..."

Before Zhuo Feng finished speaking, Chu Huan tugged at the corner of his clothes and signaled him to be silent. At this time, the Pope asked Zhuo Chengen a question: "How can we plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of non-believers?"

?”

Hearing this, Zhuo Feng immediately looked at Zhuo Chengen, and many people pricked up their ears, especially the Duke and Kong Shansong, who both sat upright.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Chengen did not answer the question immediately, but asked the Pope: "I want to know what you would do?"

Hearing this, Jia Jiushan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Okay!"

"What's so good about it?" Chu Huan was puzzled.

"The verdict will be decided." Jia Jiushan said with some excitement: "The Pope lost."

"Yes." Zhuo Feng spoke at this time, looking at Chu Huan and Xue Yue who were confused. He was just about to show off, but was attracted by the Pope's magic.

The Pope could have not answered Zhuo Chengen's question, but who is he? He is the Pope of the temple and the future Emperor of the Kingdom of God. If he remains silent, whenever he thinks of this moment, he will probably have inner demons. And this

Undoubtedly, it was harmful to his practice but not beneficial at all.

Although he didn't answer, he showed it with actions.

A dazzling light appeared, and countless energies gathered above his head.

Then he gave a soft drink - Go!

A wave of waves spread out in all directions, blowing the long hair or clothes of everyone present like the wind.

The Pope's meaning is obvious. How to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of non-believers?

Use magic.

Zhuo Chengen smiled when he saw this scene and said:

"I told my disciples many years ago."

"Don't use magic when preaching." Zhuo Chengen began to retort: ​​"And don't use existing miraculous places, such as the exquisite fairy island that looks like spring all year round, to describe miracles."

"Don't talk too much about God's grace, let alone any benefits you have gained in the process of faith."

"Because this is using benefits to seduce non-believers."

As he spoke, Zhuo Chengen turned around and looked at the black-robed guards and purple-robed priests: "Please remember, you don't need to show any magic in front of non-believers, let alone describe the magic you have gained after having faith.

.”

"You just need to let non-believers see your piety and deep belief in your faith, and let non-believers see that in secular life, there are such a group of people living a pure life without desires..."

"As long as it can arouse their desire for practice, then...the seeds of faith can be planted in their hearts."

"This..." After speaking, Zhuo Chengen turned around, looked at the Pope, and said word by word: "This is preaching!"

There was a crash, everyone started talking, and the entire scene fell into chaos.

"Wonderful!" Chu Huan praised sincerely. At this moment, he finally understood why Jia Jiushan knew the final result just after Zhuo Chengen asked.

How majestic is it to use your opponent's best skills and then defeat him?

Both the Duke and Kong Shansong remained silent.

At this time, Diao Jinghu stood up and looked at the somewhat pale Pope.

"Qiu Fu, ask yourself, as the pope over the years, when you face the statues of gods, when you pray to the gods for blessings, have you done it - lower your eyes to look at God, kneel down to look at God, and ask God sincerely?

, serve God faithfully?”

Zhuo Chengen spoke quickly and in a louder voice: "When facing believers, have you done this - listen softly to the teachings, breathe slowly and quietly, speak softly, speak kindly and kindly, and respond to every call.

Are your faces happy?"

"Have you, Qiu Fu, fulfilled these papal rules stipulated in the divine canon?"

"Are you... worthy?"

After saying that, Zhuo Chengen no longer gave the Pope a chance to quibble, and turned around to leave.

Applause rang out, and Chu Huan took the lead in applauding. Some of the black-robed guards couldn't help but join in applauding with Chu Huan, and soon the applause merged into one and resounded throughout the temple.

"Classic." Xue Yue couldn't help but let out a long breath. This Zhuo Chengen should not be underestimated. Every sentence was heart-breaking. Thinking like this, he subconsciously wanted to hold the knife, but he missed it. Then he remembered that the knife was on his back.

Carry it on your back.

Seeing that the Pope's face was ashen, Kong Shansong was about to step forward to remind him that it was important to hold the ceremony. Just when he stood up, an extremely beautiful figure appeared in his sight.

He sat down.

A look of confusion.

What is the goddess doing here at this time?

"Ask!"

Arriving at the center of the crowd, Xiaoman's clear voice came, and the words fell into everyone's ears. Everyone except Chu Huan and others were stunned, and they immediately looked shocked and incredulous!

"What!"

"Ask about life and death?"

"Ask the question to determine life or death!"

"The goddess knows the art of divine enlightenment? How is it possible!"

Listening to the discussion around him, the Duke frowned because he didn't know what he was asking, and he had never heard of any divine enlightenment techniques.

After all, the last time he asked was five hundred years ago, the black-robed guard in front of the temple immediately became the pope.

"I'll rub it, it's exciting!" After hearing the person here explaining what the question meant, the Duke said excitedly and slapped the tiger on the side's butt hard!

Who says a tiger's butt can't be touched?

The eye-catching tiger turned around and looked at the Duke with a resentful look. He stretched out his neck and rubbed the Duke's calf with his head, showing his intimacy, but his eyes were staring at Xiaoman, full of hatred.
