Chapter 465: Following the Sect Master’s Order, I Come to Seek Junior Uncle
Dark Moon Church is a Gothic Christian church with towering spires, majestic white walls and arched lines, giving it a light and slender feeling of flying. The stained glass windows are colorful and brilliant, depicting biblical stories.
At dusk, jackdaws perched on the branches and the faint sound of nuns singing could be heard.
This is the second to last stop on Route 14. The next stop is the cemetery. It is located in a remote area and this church is not very famous among the many churches in Lecheng, so it is rarely visited at this moment.
Qin Niao took a deep look at the snow-white church towering into the sky under the night sky, then smiled at Shi Ling: "Why did you think of staying overnight in the church? We can't stay here, right?"
Shi Ling said in surprise, "Niao Niao, have you forgotten? When we were abroad, we often stayed overnight in churches."
Qin Niao was stunned, and the two looked at each other. There was an eerie silence for a moment.
Wu Yin looked up at the huge cross on the church, his eyes shining: "The church is great."
As expected, although the owner had lost his memory, he still had deep feelings for the church in his bones.
Chu Qingci said, "It's so desolate here, it's better to find a Taoist temple."
Shi Ling: "The Taoist temples in Lecheng are mostly in the deep mountains and old forests."
Chu Qingci: "Then the temple is also good. The bus just passed by a Buddhist temple. We can stay there for a night."
Shi Ling shook his head and sighed: "Brother, monks can enjoy free accommodation when they stay at the temple, but we have to pay to stay here. Staying in a temple is more expensive than staying in a hotel."
Chu Qingci thought: "I can go shave my head."
Shi Ling: "Then go ahead."
Seeing that Shi Ling had no intention of trying to persuade him to stay, Chu Qingci gave himself a way out: "Forget it, since I'm here, I might as well live with you guys."
Before entering the church, Shi Ling warned everyone, including the photographer, "Don't talk later. Watch me."
After evening prayers, the nuns came out of the cathedral one after another.
After Shi Ling and his companions entered the church, the pastor greeted them.
The pastor was a bearded old foreign man. "Madam, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shi Ling bowed down to the statue of Jesus with a solemn expression, his face pious. "I grew up in the Bai Country. My grandmother often told me stories about Jesus. Jesus..."
The pastor listened to Shi Ling talking about Jesus and then about biblical doctrines, all of which were content from Protestant Christianity. His originally solemn expression gradually became excited, as if he had met a close friend and wanted to talk with Shi Ling all night long.
"Most churches in China are Catholic, with few Protestants. Even among Christians worldwide, the majority are Catholic. I didn't expect there are young people who understand Protestant doctrine so well."
Shi Ling looked extremely pious: "I really like one thing about Christianity, that is, everyone is equal..."
Shi Ling and the pastor talked about equality for a long time, from doctrine to history, and then to geopolitics and world peace.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned.
[Shi Ling...is a Christian? ]
[I don't think so. She should be considered a native Taoist, right? I saw she can draw talismans...]
I hope this livestream won't be cut off. It felt like they were almost touching on some sensitive topics when they were discussing geopolitics. Luckily, Shi Lingfeng turned the conversation around and brought up world peace and then back to discussing Jesus and doctrine.
Shi Ling and the old pastor sat on the church bench and talked for a long time, feeling like they were soulmates regardless of age.
Finally, Shi Ling revealed his true intentions: "Pastor, we are just passers-by and would like to stay overnight in the church and attend the morning prayers tomorrow."
The old pastor looked devoutly at the statue of Jesus and said kindly to Shi Ling and the others, "Dear believers, this is certainly possible. I will arrange a room for you right away, and we will discuss the doctrine together tomorrow."
Netizens: [666, Shi Ling’s map of Yan State is really long]
[I've learned that Christianity consists of three main denominations: Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Catholicism has the largest number of believers and the most churches in China. Friendly reminder: Protestants emphasize the authority of the Bible, while Catholics believe in the power of the Pope as the leader of the church and interpreter of the Bible, so Shi Ling's trick only works against Protestants.]
The photographers also took netizens to see the residence that the old pastor arranged for Shi Ling and others. They lived next to the nuns and had some spare rooms. Although they were not as big as the beds in the hotel, they were clean and tidy.
It's mainly free, which makes it particularly attractive to netizens.
The photographer also enjoyed free accommodation thanks to Shi Ling.
Chu Qingci was curious: "Shi Ling, how come you know so much about Protestantism?"
Shi Ling sighed, "Well, actually, it's not just Protestantism. I also know a little bit about Catholicism. After all, churches often give out eggs during their missionary work. I heard a lot about it when I went to collect eggs."
[Hahaha, I see. I've been influenced by it.]
[I didn't expect Shi Ling to go get the eggs. Wasn't she the daughter of the Shi family? Was she living a very difficult life abroad?]
The Shi family abandoned her abroad for over a decade, and upon discovering she wasn't their biological daughter, they kicked her out without hesitation. How much affection could they possibly have for her?
After Shi Ling and the others went back to their rooms to rest, the photographer also finished his work for the day.
Wu Yin looked up at the huge cross in the church hall. It was dark at night, and a crescent moon was faintly reflected on the silver cross.
He went to see the old pastor alone.
In the silent church, the old pastor was dusting with a feather duster.
He has lived here for a long time and speaks fluent Chinese: "Why are you back, sir?"
Wu Yin showed a black cross gun pendant: "Shenyue Sect, Shadow."
The old pastor was slightly startled and put down the feather duster. "What are your instructions, Lord Shadow?"
Wu Yin: "We contacted the priest through church channels. The young master has been found, but his memory is damaged."
The Dark Moon Church is a fake church. On the surface, it is a Protestant church, but in fact, it worships the fallen angel Xila, who is a secret agent of the God Moon Church.
…
The moon is dark and the wind is strong.
In the middle of the night, Qin Niao went out after Shi Ling, who was in the same room, fell asleep. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Qingci leaning next to him and was almost scared.
Qin Niao closed the door, folded his arms and looked at Chu Qingci.
Chu Qingci chuckled: "Senior Sister, how are you?"
Qin Niao raised an eyebrow: "The last time you came to the entertainment industry, your father tied you up and made you face the wall to reflect on your mistakes. Now you dare to come down the mountain?"
Chu Qingci smiled and said, "I came with a mission this time."
Qin Niao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
Chu Qingci said with a serious expression, "I am here to find Junior Master-Uncle on the orders of the Sect Master."
Qin Niao smiled: "Hasn't Junior Master-Uncle already appeared? I've seen her live broadcast several times. If you want to find her, you should go to Ningcheng, not come to me."
Chu Qingci: "Sister, Xuan Ling's account is now in the hands of the Third Elder. Yun Xianxian is the Third Elder's daughter. The current Xuan Ling is Yun Xianxian in disguise. You have a good relationship with Junior Uncle, so you should have recognized him long ago."
Qin Niao's smile faded: "What qualifications does she have to use Xuan Ling's account?"
Chu Qingci explained, "My junior uncle gave it to the sect master before he left for Mingwu Island. But my father was in seclusion, and the sect's affairs were handled by the elders. The Xuanling account fell into the hands of the third elder. Yun Xianxian impersonated my junior uncle without permission and tarnished the reputation of the Xuanling account. Her account has been revoked and she has been expelled from the sect."
