Chapter 148: The Holy Religion of Light
"Yes...yes." The man nodded and said, "It is a filthy person who is guilty of sin and disrespectful to God."
Hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help but sneer and said, "Disrespecting God? I didn't expect that in this world where there are so many cultivators, there are still people who believe in the illusory so-called God who still doesn't know whether it exists or not?"
"After all, they are just ordinary humans, and the world of cultivators is completely different from the world they know. Therefore, they put their only vision on the so-called gods." Lin Zhengfei said in a cold tone.
"That's right." Li Yao pursed his lips and did not deny this.
Their world is so different from these ordinary humans, and even the world he knew before. In the world of cultivators, there is no such thing as God, and he will not place all hope on the illusory God.
They only have faith in their own sects and firm belief in their own path to practice. Even in a state of despair, they can rely on only their own abilities.
Li Yao looked at the man again and asked, "What organization are you? What do you believe in? Who is the leader of the organization? Where is the meeting place?"
The man trembled and said, "We are the Holy Church of Light, and we believe in the Supreme God of Light. Our leader is our Pope, the son of the Emperor of Light, and the archon is in the village."
"The Holy Church of Light and the Pope!" Li Yao said with interest: "Handsome Lin, do you think this is very similar to those sects in the Middle Ages?"
"Well, it's a bit like that." Lin Zhengfei nodded.
"You said, will the founder of this human-skinned cult be the same as us?" Li Yao asked at Lin Zhengfei.
Li Yao's words made Lin Zhengfei's expressionless face slightly moved. He knew that Li Yao meant that this guy from the European cult that was once popular was like a time traveler like them?
Lin Zhengfei felt that this possibility was not impossible. If they were really time travelers like them, they would have another person of the same kind.
"Get in and take a look." Lin Zhengfei said softly.
Li Yao chuckled: "I'm just thinking that way, too."
Then, Li Yao asked the man about all the basic situations of their Holy Church of Light, as well as the teachings of the church, and knocked the man out and stuffed him into the grass. Then he went to the village with Lin Zhengfei to prepare for infiltrating the cult.
Before leaving, Li Yao looked at the person tied to the altar and was being subjected to the so-called "unclean punishment". The man's skin was about to be peeled off, and even if he was rescued, he would not be able to survive.
The arrested man said that the person who was executed was originally a teacher in the village. He also learned magic for a while in the Immortal Sect a few years ago, but because of his unqualified qualifications, he was wiped out by the Immortal Sect.
Because he had been exposed to the world of cultivators, he did not believe in the so-called gods promoted by these sects. Therefore, the sacred light religion considered unclean people to be purified. This ritual of purification is the punishment of skinning.
This is clearly what the cult does! Li Yao said angrily. But for that poor person, I only hope that he can be reincarnated into a civilized society in the next life.
According to Li Yao's observation, the clothes worn by the villagers who worshipped under the altar were
The clothes are all coarse or cotton clothes, and there are almost no people wearing silk and satin. This proves that the economic conditions of the village are not particularly good.
Along the way, there were quite a few villages that Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei passed by. Although some villages were not as rich as those who lived in the city, there were also some wealthy families in the villages, and some were able to wear silk and satin.
Li Yao really couldn't believe how poor the people in this village were!
The poorer the place, the more backward the people, and the more backward the place, the more likely they are to be deceived by people who are ill-behaved. Because children living in poor places cannot receive formal education at all, their thoughts are restricted.
When Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei secretly investigated, they found that the size of this village is actually not small. There are tens of thousands of families in the village, with a population of nearly 200,000, called Manyue Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Lingyue City.
No wonder, Lingyue City was harmed by Li Linggu and others for five years, and all the people in the city were harmed by them. Naturally, no one cared about the surrounding villages, so they gave those who were determined to do whatever they wanted.
As for why Li Linggu and others only harmed the people in the city, they let go of the villages near the city. After discussing with Lin Zhengfei, Li Yao believed that perhaps it was because the village did not want those cities surrounded by tall walls to be easily controlled.
Because Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei's clothes made of silk leather and mink were too conspicuous, the two had to disguise themselves and paint their faces, which were either enchanting, feminine or cold and elegant, to make them dark yellow and rough, like farmers.
After dressing up, Li Yao looked at Lin Zhengfei again and couldn't help but cover his stomach and smiled: "Handsome guy Lin, don't say, your outfit is really tough."
Lin Zhengfei glanced at Li Yao coldly and said quietly: "You look like a young wife who has been ruined."
After saying that, both of them couldn't help laughing.
The two of them entered the village as foreigners pretending to be fleeing. When the people in the village saw that they were dressed in such a ragged manner, they did not doubt much, so they enthusiastically welcomed them into the village.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the villagers, Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei were not suspicious, but instead thought it was very normal.
With such enthusiasm, the next step is to attract them into the so-called Holy Church of Light.
This kind of cult is like a pyramid scheme, and it develops its own offline line, and then it develops slowly one after another.
Li Yao secretly complained to Lin Zhengfei: "Handsome Lin, do you think we are undercover agents who have entered the pyramid scheme den?"
"Like." Lin Zhengfei nodded slightly.
"Then can we successfully deliver this pyramid scheme den?" Li Yao asked again.
Lin Zhengfei glanced at Li Yao lightly and said, "It depends on how good you are."
Seeing Lin Zhengfei talking like this, Li Yao said a little depressedly: "Master Lin, what do you mean is, don't you help me?"
"If I don't help you, I will dress up like this sloppy and get in with you?" Lin Zhengfei's replies were already answered.
Hearing Lin Zhengfei's answer, Li Yao also felt relieved and laughed: "It's better for handsome guy Lin to be nice to me." After that, he approached Lin Zhengfei twice.
Lin Zhengfei pushed his dirty face away with disgust and said quietly: "Stop being stingy."
Those villagers are concerned about Li Yao and Lin Zheng
Although they were extremely enthusiastic, they did not bring them into the ancestral hall or the village chief's home that was used to receive distinguished guests in the village, but directly took them to a building that seemed out of place with the old wooden buildings in the village.
When Li Yaochu first looked, he thought he was standing in front of a very luxurious and huge church! However, the place on the "church" where the cross should have been decorated was decorated with a circle with the patterns of moon and stars inside!
Li Yao looked at the sign and couldn't help but whisper in Lin Zhengfei's ear: "If there were no that star, this sign would really look like the sign of Persian Ming Cult."
Lin Zhengfei nodded silently.
After the two were brought into the church, Li Yao discovered that the decoration inside the church was exactly the same as the church he remembered. It was a worship hall, but the position where Jesus should have been worshipped was a white marble statue wearing a red cloak and a mask.
Li Yao pretended to be curious and asked the villagers who led them, and said, "Where is this place?"
The villager was a young man. When Li Yao asked this, he smiled lightly and politely, and said politely: "This is the place specially used by our Moon Village to receive distinguished guests. Please wait here for a while. The Bishop will come to receive the two in person later."
After saying that, he took his leave without waiting for Li Yao to ask anything.
"This person's words and deeds seem to be not the people in the village." Lin Zhengfei said with a cold voice.
Li Yao nodded in agreement, "It's really not like it." The people in this village were bent over and hunched when walking, and they all had no temperament, and their faces were dark yellow and their bodies were morbid. They were not as energetic and upright as this young man.
"He should be the priest who was placed in the Holy Church of Light among the people as a surveillance." Li Yao judged so.
Lin Zhengfei also agreed with Li Yao's point of view, but reminded Li Yao: "This is not a place to speak, so wait and see what changes are."
"Yes." Li Yao nodded.
After the young man left, Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei sat on the stool boredly and carefully observed the decorative style of the church.
At the top of the church there are various pictures made of colored glass, which are extremely cruel pictures such as skinning, digging eyes and cutting tongues, which make people not think that this is a cult.
At the top of the glass ceiling was a man wearing a red cloak with a golden light behind his head. The man held a short sword made of bones in one hand and a thick book in the other. Even the patterns on the cover were carved clearly and gorgeously.
"That is our great pope, and the holy sword and sacred scripture made of the holy bones and skin of the most holy girl."
This sound suddenly came out, which scared Li Yao's little heart trembled slightly. Lin Zhengfei was better than him, and he was not scared, but his face was not very good.
Even if the things made with the most holy girl's skin and leg bones are covered with blood behind them, it is impossible to think that it is indeed as sacred as they show.
Seeing that Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei were not talking, they looked at him with a guarded look. The man introduced himself to the two with a polite smile.
