Chapter 476 Tribute

A group of newbies went through the same psychological process as Watson. They thought they could easily join this church by holding the treasures they had collected with great difficulty.

As soon as they entered the church and closed the door, the mentors asked them to kneel down and then asked them three soul-searching questions.

"Why did you join the Zhishen Cult?"

“If you join the church, what do you plan to do next?”

“How to be a good believer?”

Amount...

Watson Grosvenor glanced at Keith Cadivinsh, who was watching the ceremony nearby, with a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't mention such a trick.

But since people asked, he thought about it and organized his words carefully, and replied: "Because Zhi Shen is the only true God in the world, I joined in order to follow the truth of the world."

"After joining the religion, I am ready to believe in the gods devoutly and contribute my own strength to the greatness of Zhishen Religion."

"At the same time, I strictly abide by the doctrine and never go beyond it, vowing to become an excellent teacher."

After all, Watson Grosvenor came from a large family and had some sense of how to speak appropriately, so this was a relatively standard answer.

The rest of the people either copied the answers or gave their own answers.

Most of the people were allowed to join by the church, but three were rejected.

The three people kept asking, "Why? I also came to join the church. Why were they allowed in but we were rejected?"

Ah Ju spoke slowly, his voice ethereal and distant: "You have mixed thoughts in your mind. People with such dirty thoughts are not qualified to serve the gods."

These three people have a herd mentality. Not only do they not believe in Zhizhi God, they do not believe in all gods.

I thought that since everyone had joined, it would be a bit out of place if they didn't join.

Once some people start to form a group, they will unconsciously exclude those outside the group. For people doing business, this is obviously not a good phenomenon. In order to avoid being excluded, they naturally have to find a way to squeeze in.

This membership fee is indeed not a small amount for an ordinary family, but it is not too much for businessmen like them.

They also thought that this so-called church was just a tool used by the organizers to make money, so their attitude was naturally not as strict as that of others.

So Ah Ju rejected it.

So the three were asked to leave the church individually. Their recommender was not happy and had to arrange a boat to send them back.

The remaining group continued with the initiation ceremony.

All the lights in the venue were turned off, a candle was lit in the middle of the venue, and Ah Ju began to sing a mysterious tune.

The solemn and dignified expressions of the group of people, accompanied by a long and mysterious melody, and the flickering light of the candles reflected on the extremely strange statue, the atmosphere on the scene was very eerie.

After Ah Ju finished chanting, he uttered a strange tune heavily, and the candles suddenly went out without wind. An eye on one of the tentacle on the statue suddenly emitted a soft light, illuminating the place.

Dozens of craftsmen worked together on this thing, working overtime, and it was finally completed yesterday. After it was completed, it naturally had to be reviewed by Ah Ju first.

Ah Ju worked overtime overnight to modify its interior, installing lighting facilities and a voice control system.

But to the people present, this was a true miracle.

A group of old people managed to hold on, after all, they had seen the true form of the gods.

For newcomers, it is really unbelievable. No matter what others say, some things are far less shocking than seeing them with your own eyes.

Ah Ju continued, "Please all the would-be believers swear an oath in front of the statue. God will look down upon you from the void. Under the gaze of God's eyes, once the oath is made, it will never be changed."

A group of newbies were so fooled that their mouths were crooked. They were full of excitement and trepidation, and they spoke devoutly:

“Zhishen, the true God almighty, created the origin of the heavens and the earth and all things, and is the eternal truth of everything.

The Church of the Holy Spirit is holy and public, there is communion of saints, sins are forgiven, diseases are cured, and after death, our souls will live forever in the garden of God.

I am willing to join the Zhishen religion, believe in its doctrines, familiarize myself with its teachings, and never betray it. If I violate its teachings, my soul will fall into hell forever and I will not be able to be reborn.

I believe in the God of Zhi, Zhimen will live forever! "

After everyone read the declaration of joining the church, they were guided to place the offerings they brought in front of the statue. One of the statue's eyes emitted a beam of light that shone on the offerings, and the offerings instantly disappeared.

The old believers had experienced this kind of thing before, and only the new believers were surprised and sighed in admiration.

Next, their respective recommenders will register their names under their own names. This list of members and their respective offerings to the gods will be registered and finally offered before the statue.

Then, they were awarded a copy of "Zhi Shen Lu". According to the dogma of the church, each person could only have one copy, and they needed to study it frequently, memorize the content, and not lose it. They needed to take good care of it and could not scribble, draw, or write on it, and it could not be torn.

Xia Zhizhi has read this book.

There are a lot of fantasy novel plots in it, recording her glorious deeds as a righteous god, and the stories of how she defeated many evil gods. Each of her tentacles and eyes are equipped with vague abilities.

To be honest, the story is well-written and if you read it as a novel, this book is quite good.

In the following days, as the half-month deadline was getting closer, everyone was working hard to develop the first batch of downlines, and Xia Zhizhi and Aju were really busy for a while.

Ah Ju was busy acting as a charlatan, while Xia Zhizhi was busy collecting things.

Among them was a businessman whose family had fallen on hard times. All the money he had was invested in his business, leaving him with little money to buy tribute.

Finally, he hesitated between the diamond crown passed down from his grandmother and the Chinese crown that his ancestors obtained by chance during the Qing government.

There is really no reason to hesitate.

One is your own thing, and the other is someone else's thing.

There is nothing wrong with your brain, and you will definitely keep your own foundation.

So he nervously presented the crown from China.

Originally I just wanted to get away with it, after all, they all said that this only depends on their own feelings and does not consider the actual value.

Many people were brainwashed this time, about forty in total.

According to previous practice, after everyone paid the membership fee, the rest of the matters were arranged by other teachers, and Ah Ju was going to go downstairs to rest.

But this time, when Xia Zhizhi put away the things, Ah Ju unexpectedly glanced at the newbie.
