Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

"How is it impossible?" Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him, "Have you ever heard of a country called Marais? The people there are born with superpowers! After they are injured, they can turn into giants several feet tall to fight. ! Do you think this is true or made up?”

The priest was too shocked to speak.

"There is also a hidden village called Hokage Village." Lin Xiaofeng continued, "People there will use a skill called ninjutsu to fight and defend. The power of their skills is amazing! Do you think this is fabricated? Or does it really exist?”

After saying this, Lin Xiaofeng spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "Which of the miraculous things I have seen with my own eyes is not much more wonderful than the miracles you mentioned? And the gods they believe in are completely different from the gods you believe in. oh."

There was a shocked and complicated expression on the priest's face. He was obviously shocked by Lin Xiaofeng's words, and blurted out: "This... how is this possible?!"

"Why is it impossible?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, "What you think is impossible is just because you haven't seen it with your own eyes. But the world is so big! There are many unknowns and magic waiting for us to explore and discover."

Looking at the shocked and confused expression of the priest, Lin Xiaofeng continued: "To be closer, I have a man named Xie Hongxin under my command. He is a strange person! He can eat an entire sheep in one meal! And once when he was extremely angry, he even pulled himself up by his scalp! Do you think this is true or made up?"

"This... this is absolutely impossible!" Father Jesus blurted out his doubts, "How can a person lift himself up by his own scalp?!"

"Haha." Lin Xiaofeng smiled and asked instead of answering his question directly, "You can tell the truth from falsehood, so why do you believe the stories made up by your new soul?"

This question obviously hit the priest's weakness and made him speechless for a moment. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng's face with a joking smile and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to get angry and he needed to calm down and think about how to respond to this problem.

The priest took a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself down and re-examine the young man in front of him and the various questions and challenges he had raised. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "These heretical and magical stories Mr. Lin told me... It’s true that it’s unheard of, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist or must be made up.”

He paused and continued: "Perhaps there are still many unknown areas and powers in this world waiting for us to explore and discover. However, this does not deny the authenticity of the teachings and miracles of our new mind, because these These are things I have seen and experienced personally, and they make me firmly believe that our teachings are true and powerful.”

Although the priest's voice was not high, it was full of firmness and belief, as if he wanted to use his own beliefs and experiences to respond to Lin Xiaofeng's questions and challenges. Lin Xiaofeng also heard the firmness and persistence in the priest's words, and he knew that this debate about faith and truth would continue.

Looking at the priest in front of him whose cheeks were trembling with excitement, Lin Xiaofeng wore a deep and mysterious smile, as if he was a wise man who could see into people's hearts. He stretched out a steady hand to soothe the priest's emotions: "Father, you don't need to be so excited. Everything in the world has an effect and a cause. Do you know how our Jingjiang fleet formed a bond with you Ferrero people? Is this fate? "

Father Jesus' brows were furrowed, like a mountain covered by thick fog, full of doubts. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he blurted out: "What on earth is going on?"

Lin Xiaofeng picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea seemed to take him back to the distant past. He said eloquently: "Actually, the origin of this fate is that one of your Ferrero people accidentally drifted to our Jingjiang River. Before I came here, I had in-depth exchanges with him."

He paused for a moment, as if recalling that unforgettable conversation, and then continued: "I specifically asked about your new soul. I heard that your church's influence among the people is very important, and the believers are like stars. Surrounding you like a moon, this kind of grand occasion is rare in the world."

At this time, the sunlight outside the window shone on the two of them through the curtains, and a mysterious and solemn atmosphere filled the air. Lin Xiaofeng's words seemed to have some kind of magic power, making the priest involuntarily fall into deep thought.

"However," Lin Xiaofeng changed the subject, "I have also heard something about your excessive taxation of the people. Your 'Holy Year' activities are grand and sacred, and believers have donated large amounts of gold and silver to wash away their sins. I am even willing to donate my inheritance to you, but does this make the lives of some believers miserable?”

Lin Xiaofeng's question was like a sharp arrow pointing straight into the priest's heart. The priest's face changed slightly. He was silent for a moment, trying to sort out his emotions and words before he retorted: "Mr. Lin, do you think these are some malicious speculations?"

Lin Xiaofeng gently waved his hand to signal the priest to calm down. His smile remained as gentle as before: "Father, you have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions. We are just exchanging information in a casual chat. Everything in the world has its two sides, and I am just exploring it. It’s just the real situation.”

The priest frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Our believers all donate voluntarily, and they are all grateful. I have never heard of anyone expressing dissatisfaction with this. Mr. Lin, your words seem to You are biased against our church. I’m afraid you won’t be able to believe it no matter how I explain it!”

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly slapped the table and stood up, looking directly at the priest with piercing eyes: "Well said! I like you as a straight-tempered person who doesn't speak in roundabout ways."

Then he put forward his own conditions to the priest: "If your church wants to preach in Jingjiang, I have several conditions. First of all, you must make money on your own to buy land and build a church. You cannot rely on donations from believers or any form of fundraising. Secondly, you must make money on your own to buy land and build a church. You need to complete the quota I set before you can accept believers in Jingjiang. This quota will be determined based on your actual situation. In addition, the number and candidates of local believers must be selected by the court and cannot be decided by you. "

Hearing this, Father Jesus' face was as gloomy and uncertain as the sky before a storm. He turned his head angrily and refused to look at Lin Xiaofeng again: "You don't want us to preach in Jingjiang at all! How can we make money when we first come here?" Besides, we don’t understand the language and you are deliberately making things difficult for us!”

Lin Xiaofeng laughed secretly at the priest's reaction, but remained calm and calm on the surface: "Father, do you know? I used to be a devout Buddhist. Buddhism always talks about saving the suffering of the world and transcending the souls of the dead. My young At that time, I was inspired by these great wishes and did many good things, but as time went by, my knowledge became wider and wider, and I began to have doubts in my heart. "

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng sighed deeply and continued: "Buddhism says that all people are equal, but what I saw is a strict hierarchical temple system. In a temple, the treatment from novice to abbot is completely different. It should be a place of ascetic cultivation. But it has also become a place for some people to make money. Countless believers donated incense money to build a golden body for the Buddha and even ended up causing chaos in the government. "

Lin Xiaofeng stared deeply into the priest's eyes as if to penetrate his soul: "Is your church the same? Your God-Emperor wears a golden crown, your churches are extremely gorgeous, and your doctrine is to save the world. ,Right?"

Father Jesus explained with a look of embarrassment: "Gods do not have specific images, but the world's ignorant people cannot see through their true meaning, so we can only use statues and gorgeous decorations to attract believers and spread doctrines. We do this It’s all for the sake of the overall situation!”

"Oh? For the sake of the overall situation?" Lin Xiaofeng chuckled, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes, "If the wanton accumulation of money is for the overall situation, then I can understand it. But don't you claim that God loves the world and that all living beings are equal? ​​Then why is the God Emperor What about being able to enjoy exclusive privileges and wear gold and silver? Of course you can say that this is also to attract believers, but what I want to tell you is that the charisma of a poor God-Emperor in a high position will be far greater than that of a luxurious God-Emperor. "

Lin Xiaofeng paused, looked directly into the priest's eyes, and continued: "Also, your God-Emperor lives in a luxurious palace, communicates with nobles, and enjoys privileges. But you people at the bottom have to live down-to-earth. Living a poor life, he even traveled thousands of miles to Jingjiang to save the world through asceticism. Is this fair? There is only one reason for this, and that is that the upper echelons of your church are greedy and only care about their own enjoyment, and you are just their money-maker. Just a tool."

Hearing this, Father Jesus' face became even more ugly. He opened his mouth to retort, but found that he was speechless. Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at their weak spots, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

Father Jesus tried his best to suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart. He clenched his hands together and his knuckles turned white from excessive exertion. Although his face still maintained the dignity that a priest should have, his eyes could not hide the anger. His voice trembled slightly and he retorted: "You are just making malicious speculations."

Lin Xiaofeng, on the other hand, seemed calm and calm. He shook his head gently, with a deep smile on his lips, as if he was used to being angry with the priest. He responded calmly: "No, Father, this is not a simple speculation, but my experience. Your status is too low, like a frog at the bottom of a well. You can only see a small piece of sky, and naturally you cannot understand the intricacies of the upper levels. And I, standing at the top of power, can naturally see far and see more clearly.”

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire room, adding a golden background to this intense conversation. Lin Xiaofeng suddenly changed the topic. He looked up and looked out the window, as if looking for the answer, and then slowly asked a question: "Father, let me ask you a question. In your pure and innocent heart, the person who is talked about by people is Paradise, where is it hidden?”

Father Jesus answered without hesitation, his eyes full of firmness of faith: "Of course it is in the unreachable sky."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly and asked, "Where is that frightening hell lurking?"

"Hell is naturally in the dark underground." The priest's answer was still without hesitation, as if this was an undoubted fact.

However, Lin Xiaofeng raised a finger and slowly pointed at the roof. His eyes flashed with a deep light, as if he was revealing a shocking secret: "No, you are just talking about a well-known situation, those who The scenes described by superficial legends and stories. But the truth is always unexpected. In fact, hell is not underground as you think, but under the prosperity of heaven, and in our world, there is only one place. It’s just the lowest level of suffering in this three-dimensional world.”

The priest sneered, his face full of disdain. He shook his head and retorted: "It's nonsense. What is the basis for your words? Why do you think what you say is the truth?"

Lin Xiaofeng was as calm as ever, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, as if he had already understood the mysteries of the universe: "Those devout believers, they long for the holiness and beauty of heaven. And those who are considered heretics are beaten. Entering the eternal hell. Our world is like a sea of ​​suffering. We should have equal opportunities to reach heaven or hell. But have you ever discovered why there are always far more people going to hell? What about those who are lucky enough to reach heaven? There is only one truth, and that is that we are actually closer to hell and are more likely to be tempted and swallowed by it.”

Having said this, he took a deep look at the priest, and then continued to reveal the truth of the world: "Your church has described to you a noble goal, a pure ideal, and an end point that seems within reach. You take it with you Believers are walking towards the road to heaven. But no one knows that there is actually a ghastly hell between the world and heaven. The believers have made huge sacrifices in the process of finally reaching the other side. Only a few people can step on the bones of everyone and climb to the material paradise. However, when they stand there and look back, they have already forgotten their original beliefs and promises and waved their hands high. The golden scepter accuses those believers in hell that their faith is not pure enough, their dedication is not thorough enough, and their love for God is not sincere enough. However, they have never thought about the piles of bones under their feet and those who sacrificed for their dream of heaven. Where are the believers? Am I right?"

These words seemed to touch the deepest pain in the priest's heart. He stood up suddenly and angrily shouted with a red face: "You are slandering! Mr. Lin, what if you stand on the top of power? You have no faith at all! You don't understand anything!" His chest heaved violently as if his heart was deeply hurt by Lin Xiaofeng's words.

But Lin Xiaofeng still maintained that calm attitude. He shook his head slowly, his eyes full of compassion for the priest: "Father, if what I said is false, you shouldn't be so angry. This shows that your faith is not actually true." It’s just that your heart has begun to waver. Otherwise, why would you think the worst?”

Father Jesus was trembling with anger and humiliation intertwined in his heart: "You...you are slandering my church, of course I will be angry! Since you have this attitude, let's stop talking! I want to Go home!" After that, he turned around and left this suffocating room without looking back.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the priest's leaving figure with a sneer on his lips: "Go home? What a luxurious word." His eyes were deep and distant, as if he could penetrate layers of fog to see the essence of things. He knew that although this conversation was over, it was only the beginning. There is still a long way to go, and he has plenty of time and opportunities to reveal the truth about the world.

Lin Xiaofeng stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the distant sky. The setting sun has gradually set, and the sky has been dyed golden red, beautiful and desolate. He whispered to himself: "If you are always so excited, then try counting those prime numbers, calm down your mind, and see the truth of this world clearly."

The sound of the priest's leaving footsteps gradually became distant, and finally disappeared into the night. But Lin Xiaofeng still stood there, as if thinking about something. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he was ready to face any challenge. This battle about faith and power has just begun. There is still a long way to go, but Lin Xiaofeng has the patience and wisdom to deal with everything.

Night gradually fell, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness. However, there was a bright light always on in Lin Xiaofeng's heart, guiding him in the direction of progress. He knows that this battle about faith and power will not end easily, but he also firmly believes that he will eventually win and reveal the truth about the world.

After a long time, Lin Xiaofeng slowly turned around, his eyes shining with determination and courage. He knew that he could not give up and stop pursuing the truth just because the priest left. He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and then sat back on the chair, ready to continue his journey of exploration.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly, an inexplicable premonition welling up in his heart. He stood up slowly, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

A figure wearing a black robe stood at the door, his face covered with a mysterious veil, making it impossible to see his true face. The figure took a deep look at Lin Xiaofeng, and then slowly said: "Mr. Lin, I know you are full of questions and curiosity about this world. I am here to give you a chance, a chance to understand the truth."

Lin Xiaofeng's heart moved. He felt that this figure exuded a powerful aura, as if he was a mysterious figure who held some kind of secret. He took a deep look at the figure, and then said slowly: "Oh? Give me a chance to know the truth? Then I would like to hear what you can tell me."

The figure smiled slightly and then slowly walked into the room. He sat opposite Lin Xiaofeng and began to tell a story about faith and power. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it had a magical power that could attract people's hearts. As he told it, Lin Xiaofeng was gradually brought into a new world, a world full of mystery and unknowns.

In that world, faith and power are intertwined, forming an intricate network. Those in high positions have great power in their hands, but they are also bound by their beliefs. In order to safeguard their own status and interests, they do not hesitate to sacrifice the beliefs and happiness of others. And in the corners of this world, there are still some unknown secrets and conspiracies hidden.

Lin Xiaofeng listened to the figure's story, and felt a strong desire for knowledge in his heart. He wants to know more truth and uncover the mysteries of this world. He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return, but he also firmly believed that only by moving forward could he find the final answer.

The night was getting darker, but Lin Xiaofeng's heart was full of light and hope. He knows that his journey of exploration has just begun, and there are more challenges and opportunities waiting for him in the future. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly, as if to cheer himself up. Then, he sat back on the chair, ready to continue listening to the figure and learn more about the truth about faith and power.

"Father, I actually respect your ideals." Lin Xiaofeng broke the long silence. His voice was gentle, like a spring breeze blowing over the lake, which was both calm and healing.

The priest's eyes were still full of hostility, and he glared at you, as if assessing your intentions. But you just responded to him with a smile, with a deep and penetrating look in your eyes.

"I feel that your faith has been shaken." You said softly, your voice like a gentle spring breeze, revealing a kind of warmth and understanding.

"I didn't!" the priest retorted quickly, his voice trembling, obviously touched by your words.

"You do." You still insisted on your opinion, your eyes were firm, and you didn't flinch.

"No!" The priest raised his voice and became excited.

Seeing that the priest was about to get angry, you once again comforted him with a gentle tone, "Father, please calm down. I just hope you can face your heart. I was once like you, with incomparable firmness and persistence in my faith. But as time passes, As time goes by, I begin to understand the complexity of human nature and the cruelty of reality. This does not mean giving up faith, but looking at it more rationally and understanding it.”

The priest sighed, as if moved by your words. He began to talk about his experience: "When I was young, I also enthusiastically pursued many people. Those who were magnanimous, noble in character, and spoke for the people all shone in my heart and always illuminated my way forward. . However, as I grew older, I saw more people and things. Those who I once regarded as role models fell from the altar one after another. From then on, I understood. The truth is: perfect people only exist in our fantasies."

You listened quietly to the priest's words, and your heart was filled with understanding and resonance. You know, everyone has their own stories and experiences that shape their beliefs and values. In this complex and ever-changing world, it is particularly important to maintain a firm and rational heart.

As the night deepens, the conversation between you and the priest gradually deepens. Not only did you share your own insights and experiences, but you also listened to the inner world of the priest. This conversation allows you to understand each other better and gives you a deeper understanding of your faith.

Finally, as the night grew darker, you shook hands with the priest and said goodbye. Even though you don't exactly see eye to eye, you believe this conversation has laid the foundation for understanding and respect between you. In the days to come, you may continue to discuss issues of faith and reality, or you may go your own way in life, but this moment of communication and

Lin Xiaofeng listened quietly to the priest's words and couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart. He looked up at the priest and found that the priest's eyes were shining with determination, which was persistence and perseverance in his faith. He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Everything is hot and shines. Just like fireflies glowing in the dark, even without the brilliance of a torch, we can still shine our own light."

When the priest listened to Lin Xiaofeng's words, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart. He looked up at Lin Xiaofeng and found that Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were shining with the same light, which was a kind of determination and persistence for the future. At that moment, he seemed to see another version of himself, one who was equally firm in his beliefs and courageous in moving forward.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be particularly peaceful and beautiful to reflect this historic moment. The sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. The mountains in the distance look even more magnificent under the sunlight, while the nearby flowers and plants are swaying gently in the breeze, as if they are telling something.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and continued: "I am telling you this not to belittle your beliefs, but to let you know that although I think there are some shortcomings in New Soul House, I respect your beliefs and treat you personally. There is no prejudice.”

The priest's expression was slightly distorted, and he retorted: "The church's shortcomings? Is this just empty talk? No, this is not true!" His heart was obviously touched, and there was a hint of pain and unwillingness in his tone. However, Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a stream of clear water. Although it stung his heart, it also made him feel fresher than ever before.

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. You should have heard this sentence, right? In my case, your power is not that great." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was firm and powerful, as if there was an undoubted power. His words made the priest feel a sense of oppression, but at the same time they also made him reflect on his faith and power.

The priest wanted to refute, but Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him: "I have a famous saying: establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. I always uphold this belief." Lin Xiaofeng His voice was full of pride and belief, as if he had already seen that wonderful future.

The priest keenly captured the message in Lin Xiaofeng's words, and he retorted: "You are on the wrong track! Human beings are born with sins! Only by purifying your sins can you go to heaven! And you want to create a world where everyone can have enough food and clothing. It’s absolutely impossible! Because the greed of the human heart is infinite!”

Lin Xiaofeng smiled softly and said calmly: "If your holy father is the first person born, then according to your theory, his sins should be the biggest, right? After all, all bad things now trace their origins to him. "This sentence was like a bomb, causing huge waves in the priest's heart.

The priest was stunned. There was a pot of tea in his hand. At this moment, an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. If he smashed the pot of tea, the heresy might disappear forever. However, when he was hesitant, Lin Xiaofeng stood up suddenly, waved his hand, and said impassionedly: "You are right, the greed of people is infinite. However, we can completely increase it through the infinite growth of material. Satisfy people’s greed. I believe that even if it takes ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, we will eventually be able to do it!”

The priest was shocked by Lin Xiaofeng's courage and was speechless for a moment. Looking at Lin Xiaofeng's firm back, he couldn't help but begin to doubt his faith. This was a path he had never imagined, and he was really amazed that this Eastern man had such courage and foresight.

The sun shines through the clouds onto the earth, bringing warmth and vitality to the land. The priest and Lin Xiaofeng stood in the sun, their shadows stretched out long, as if they were telling the persistence and perseverance in their hearts. Although their views were completely different, at this moment, their hearts resonated wonderfully because of their common pursuit.

However, although Lin Xiaofeng's words resonated with the priest, he still insisted on his position. He shook his head, trying to clear himself up. "Master Lin, your daydreaming is really good." He said with a wry smile, "But I don't want to hear you attack the church for no reason anymore. Since you said that we reach the same goal by different paths, then I just want to know a definite answer: we Can we preach? The three conditions you proposed before are too harsh for us to accept. "

Lin Xiaofeng turned around, the smile on his face still as warm as the spring breeze. "Of course you can preach." He said, "What I have said so much is actually to let you feel the difference between Eastern and Western concepts. My thoughts represent the thoughts of the people. If you copy the old Western methods of preaching, in Jingjiang will definitely hit a wall and even conflict with the locals. Therefore, the three conditions I proposed are actually for your own good. "

He pointed to the mountains in the distance, as if guiding a clear path. "Letting you earn your own money to build a church is to let you have a deep understanding of the local culture and people's conditions, so that you can better carry out local transformation and preach more smoothly in the future. Setting goals for you is also to encourage you to integrate into Jingjiang faster. . As for the third point, it is a mandatory requirement. In our Jingjiang Buddhism, many criminals have had their hair shaved and entered the temple to avoid punishment. In order to prevent similar situations from happening in Xinxinshe, this review process is necessary.”

The priest shook his head in pain, "In Jingjiang, the court does not believe in God, but your hands are still stretched out so long...can't you escape even if you die?" His voice was full of helplessness and confusion, as if trapped in a heavy fog.

"It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. Just know that this cannot be changed." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was firm and powerful, like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, penetrating the fog in the priest's heart. Although the priest could not understand the court's regulations, this was a fact he had to accept.

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "I am very disgusted with your practices of fooling the weak, but I still have great goodwill towards you devout believers. Therefore, within the scope of my ability, I will try my best to help you. Strive for the greatest welfare." His voice was as heart-warming as the spring breeze, and the priest felt a glimmer of hope.

"What benefits?" The priest's eyes flashed with anticipation and he asked eagerly. After a heated debate, he was in desperate need of some substantive good news to boost his confidence.

"You can make money by working, and I will provide you with interest-free loans." Lin Xiaofeng explained in detail, "In addition, I will also provide you with accommodation and allow you to stay in Yangqu County after getting the approval. Building churches. Of course, it is only allowed in Yangqu County and is not allowed by the court elsewhere."

"Yangqu County?" The priest frowned, "I have never heard of this place! Besides, you still seem to be prevaricating me! I would rather preach in the capital." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and suspicion in his voice.

"Hmph! Prevaricating you?" Lin Xiaofeng snorted disdainfully, "Yangqu County is our No. 1 county in the world in Jingjiang! In terms of prosperity, it even surpasses Kyoto! The people in the city are well-educated, with simple folk customs and extremely high quality. "High. You will be content to work and preach in Yangqu County!" His voice was full of pride and pride, as if Yangqu County was the treasure in his heart.

There was a flash of wavering in the priest's eyes. He began to seriously consider Lin Xiaofeng's proposal, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted. "So, even if Yangqu County is as good as you say, how long will it take for us to save enough money by working? The land price there must be very expensive, right?" He asked tentatively.

"Oh, that's not the case!" Lin Xiaofeng waved his hands and said with a smile, "Compared with the things outside, the things in Yangqu County are simply high quality and cheap! Tea leaves that are hard to find outside are extremely cheap in our county! Although the land price is indeed more expensive, you don’t have to worry about it in life. Also, do you use copper coins at Ferrero?”

"What's wrong?" the priest asked doubtfully. He began to become somewhat interested in Lin Xiaofeng's words, hoping to learn more about Yangqu County.

"Then I'm relieved." Lin Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I dare say that if you earn two thousand copper coins a month in Yangqu County, your life will be happier than if you earn three thousand copper coins a month in the West. Go high! If so, what difficulties can you have?" His voice was full of confidence and pride, as if he had seen the happy life of the priest and the church in Yangqu County.

The priest fell into deep thought, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated. He began to seriously consider Lin Xiaofeng's proposal and looked forward to creating a new life in Yangqu County. Lin Xiaofeng was also quietly waiting for the priest's response, looking forward to the blending and collision of Eastern and Western cultures in Yangqu County.

Father Jesus sat quietly in the room. The air around him seemed to have solidified. Only the turmoil in his heart was like a mess, which was constantly being cut and sorted out. He kept thinking about his conversation with Lin Xiaofeng. Every word he said was like a sharp arrow, penetrating his heart again and again, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

Those days when he was preaching in neighboring countries such as Ferrero seem to still be vivid in his mind. Although the people there had some doubts about their teachings, they mostly treated them with curiosity and acceptance. The cultural similarity made missionary work a breeze, and even the occasional rejection was just a passing cloud, fleeting and unable to leave a deep mark in his heart.

However, at this moment, he seemed to have fallen into a new and unknown territory. The civilization here is completely different from theirs, like a deep mystery that prevents him from easily finding the entrance. Preaching in this unfamiliar environment is as difficult as digging a hole in a solid rock and requires great patience and perseverance. But the temptation of success is also huge. Once he succeeds, it will be an unprecedented great achievement, and his status in the church will also be at its peak. This will be a great test of his faith and determination.

The determination to preach became more and more firm in his heart, like a burning flame. No matter how rugged the road ahead was, he must move forward bravely and overcome obstacles. So, he decided to go to Yangqu County first to explore that strange land, feel the customs there, and understand the beliefs and customs there. If his mission failed, he would come back and plan again, looking for new opportunities and breakthroughs.

The officials in Jingjiang are all so polite and polite, which makes people feel a unique temperament. The strict rule of law here makes him not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, because he believes that in this place full of order and justice, he will be able to find his place and realize his value.

However, he also understood that the real challenge did not come from external obstacles and troubles, but from inner struggles and confusion. He needs to constantly examine his beliefs and determination, and constantly adjust his mentality and strategies to be able to gain a foothold and succeed in this unfamiliar environment.

After a long period of silence and waiting, Lin Xiaofeng's voice finally broke the silence of the room, as if a spring breeze blew over the frozen lake, bringing life and vitality. His words were like a key, pointing the direction for the priest and opening a door deep in his heart. The priest raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination, as if he had found a way forward.

"I accept your suggestion." The priest said solemnly, his voice revealing an unquestionable determination and belief, as if he was fully prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities in the future.

However, there was also a hint of worry and uncertainty in his words: "But if Yangqu County does not have development potential as you said, but is just a remote, desolate and uncared-for small place, I will tell you Your Majesty the Emperor has made a request for reconsideration.”

Lin Xiaofeng smiled when he heard this. His smile revealed a calmness and confidence, as if he had anticipated the priest's worries and concerns. "I keep my word, don't worry." He said calmly, as if everything was under his control, "When you get to Yangqu County, you will understand that everything I said is true. We can sign a contract This agreement ensures that the interests of both parties are maximized.”

There was a hint of embarrassment on the priest's face, as if he was making an unspeakable request. "Um..." he whispered, "we don't have any extra clothes to change into. Can you provide us with some suitable clothes?"

Lin Xiaofeng was about to answer, but suddenly he had an idea and thought of a better solution. He stood up, walked to the table, dipped some tea, and quickly sketched a novel and unique clothing sketch on the table. This dress combines elements of Eastern and Western cultures, giving it a Western sense of fashion without losing the Eastern charm. He pointed to the sketch and asked, "Are there any clothes of this style in the West?" The priest looked at the sketch of the dress carefully, with a flash of surprise and approval in his eyes. He finally shook his head and said, "No, this style is indeed very novel and unique."

"Very good." Lin Xiaofeng was very satisfied with his design. He nodded and said, "I will send someone to send you new clothes tomorrow to put you in a new outfit. Then you can wear this new clothes to visit the Yangtze River. Qu County, I believe you will like the scenery and cultural atmosphere there. ”

After saying this, Lin Xiaofeng left the residence. His heart was full of expectations and longing, as if he had already seen these Westerners visiting Yangqu County wearing the clothes he designed. He believed that these Westerners would become an important bridge between Jingjiang and the Western world and make great contributions to the cultural exchanges and economic development of both parties.

In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunshine shone across the earth, Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng went to the textile factory together. This textile factory is one of the largest textile enterprises in Jingjiang, with the most advanced textile equipment and technical talents. As soon as you walk into the door of the textile factory, you can hear the roar of textile machines and the figures of busy female workers. They skillfully operate the machine, spinning balls of cotton into thin threads and then weaving them into pieces of exquisite cloth.

Li Dexian looked around at the surrounding environment and equipment curiously and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Lin! Why did you bring me here? What's so good about the textile factory?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Your Highness! I designed a new dress last night and would like you to take a look and see if this dress can become popular in the market."

When Li Dexian heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes and he smiled: "Oh? It's interesting! Take it out and have a look!" He also has a certain understanding and insights into fashion and trends and is looking forward to Lin Xiaofeng's designs bringing surprises to him.

Lin Xiaofeng waved a female worker to come forward. The female worker was holding a new dark blue dress in her hands. The style was novel and unique, and it blended elements of Eastern and Western cultures, making it eye-catching. Li Dexian took the clothes and looked at them carefully before frowning and saying, "Hmm... I've never seen this style before, but it looks quite distinctive."

"I personally measured the size last night and tried it on. It feels pretty good! Your Highness, what do you think?" Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Dexian expectantly, hoping to get his approval and appreciation, because he knew that this dress would be Become a hot item in the fashion industry in the future.

Li Dexian looked around him for several times before stroking his chin and thinking thoughtfully: "Hiss... Although this dress looks a bit strange, it really looks good on you! But... who Would you buy this kind of clothes? It looks uncomfortable!" He said with some concern.

"Your Highness, do you think this dress can be sold in the market?" Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Dexian expectantly, hoping to hear a positive answer from him. Because he knows that if even Li Dexian is not optimistic about this kind of clothes, it will be more difficult for others to accept it. So he cares very much about Li Dexian's opinions and views.

"Hmm... The style of this dress is indeed very novel. It should be liked by some people who pursue fashion! But wearing it on the street may attract others' attention! Also, do you have a name for this dress? "What?" Li Dexian asked curiously, and he was also looking forward to the success of this dress in the market.

"The name of this dress is... Dongfu!" Lin Xiaofeng replied without hesitation, his face filled with confidence and pride. He believes that this piece of clothing will become the leader of the future fashion industry and lead people to a better future. At the same time, he also expects this clothing to achieve great success in the market and contribute to Jingjiang's economic development.

"Eastern clothes?... Haha, the name sounds quite interesting!" Li Dexian scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this kind of clothes?" He was very interested in Lin Xiaofeng's creativity and design. The ability expresses great appreciation and admiration, because this dress really shines and leaves a deep impression on people.

Lin Xiaofeng did not answer his question directly, but walked to the mirror to admire his new clothes, feeling quite satisfied. He is thinking about how to package this concept and spread it to further places, so that more people can understand and accept this novel clothing style. At the same time, he is also dreaming about the great success and recognition of this clothing in the market in the future, becoming a benchmark and model for leading fashion trends.

Hundreds of years later, the popularity of Dongfu around the world proves Lin Xiaofeng's vision and innovation ability. In the distant Western world, aristocrats imitate the dress of Easterners, wearing Eastern clothes and top hats in cafes and tasting coffee and delicacies from the East while leaning on civilized sticks. They raised their thumbs and commented in proficient oriental languages: "Oh! That's so authentic!" The recognition and pursuit of oriental culture and fashion also became a trend in society at that time.

Lin Xiaofeng's name has also been recorded in Western history books and has been praised as "the last wizard", "the master", "the endless treasure of the golden age" and many other honorary titles. His classic design style profoundly influenced the entire clothing industry and became one of the founders of the fashion industry, providing endless inspiration and enlightenment for future generations of designers. The moth-eaten suit that was only half left was sold for a whopping two billion at the famous Sujumbi auction house. It has become a good story and legend passed down by future generations, inspiring countless young people to chase their dreams and work for them. Work hard!
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell dappledly on the quiet bedroom, Lin Xiaofeng got up early. He took Qinweicao'er, Lu Sinan and others and prepared to set off from the bustling capital to Yangqu County. Behind them was a group of Ferrero people headed by Father Jesus. These strangers seemed a little reserved and uneasy in this strange country.

In the early morning, the streets of the capital were sparsely populated, with only the occasional horse-drawn carriage and porters passing by to break the tranquility. Lin Xiaofeng and his group walked on the stone road, their footsteps echoing in the empty street. Their team seemed a bit large and attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Father Jesus walked at the end of the procession. He was wearing a robe and a hat, and his face was full of seriousness and piety. From time to time, he communicated with the Ferrero people around him in blunt Chinese, seeming to calm their emotions. Some of these Ferrero people looked at the unfamiliar environment around them curiously, while others seemed a little frightened.

In order to ensure their safety, Jin Yiwei also accompanied them. They wear uniform uniforms and carry sharp swords at their waists, looking majestic and mysterious. Their presence made the entire team appear more solemn and orderly.

During the journey to Yangqu County, horse-drawn carriages became the main means of transportation. Lin Xiaofeng and Insomnia sat opposite each other, and an in-depth conversation began between them.

"How is the situation of the mission in Dali Temple recently?" Lin Xiaofeng asked softly, his tone revealing his concern for the mission.

Dogtail Grass replied: "Everything is going very well. Many people have initially learned the language of daily life, and there is no problem in daily communication. I believe that in a month or two, they should be able to master the basic language and better understand the language." Adapt to life here." A proud smile appeared on his face, and he seemed very satisfied with the work he had done in the mission.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Very good, your efforts have not been in vain. It is very important for them to master the language as early as possible, which will help them better integrate into our society. I plan to take them to Beilang University for Networking activities to promote cultural exchanges between us. Although Ferrero is a small country, their expertise and skills in certain fields may have a positive impact on our development.”

He paused, his eyes fell on Qinwei Cao'er's face, and said with a bit of ridicule: "You have been back for so long, don't you want to relax? Qiu Ju, do you really not want to visit?"

Dogtail Grass's eyes changed slightly, he shook his head and said: "I have thought about it before, but in the end I still feel that now is not the time." He looked out the window and said lightly: "Brother, the world is so big, I want to see There are still many things about my children, so let’s put them aside for now.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "Well said! This is the true nature of my man! So, this time you and Brother Lu are here, apart from the daily translation work, do you have anything else to do?"

"In addition to translation work," Quanweicaoer replied, "we also plan to customize teaching materials for them so that they can better learn the language and culture of Jingjiang. At the same time, we also hope to help them better understand Jingjiang through education and training. Integrate into society and become one of us. In addition, as the exchanges between Jingjiang and Ferrero become increasingly frequent, we also hope to spread Jingjiang’s culture and values ​​to the further western world through their influence.”

The carriage drove slowly on the rugged mountain road, and the surrounding scenery also changed. In early autumn, the mountains and forests are colorful, and the trees are dyed, as if a beautiful picture is slowly unfolding before your eyes. The sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. The fresh air is filled with the fragrant smell of earth and leaves, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Along the way, there were exclamations and admirations from foreigners, who were full of curiosity and awe about this strange country. The convoy finally arrived at the foot of Yangqu County. The towering city wall comes into view, simple and solemn. Wang Yingchao, who had received the news earlier, had led everyone to wait at the city gate for a long time.

They were still surprised when they saw hundreds of foreigners. The arrival of these foreigners undoubtedly brought unprecedented impact and changes to this ancient town.

At Lin Xiaofeng's signal, the missionaries were led by Father Jesus to settle down in the open space on one side of the city wall. They looked around, full of curiosity and expectation about this strange city. Some missionaries have begun to communicate with local residents in blunt Chinese. Despite the language barrier, their faces are filled with friendly smiles.

Lin Xiaofeng took Qinweicao'er and Lu Sinan towards where Wang Yingchao and others were. After the two parties met, they exchanged greetings, and then Wang Yingchao couldn't wait to ask: "Master, are these the missionaries you call?"

"Exactly." Lin Xiaofeng nodded in response, "Have their jobs been arranged?"

"Positions have been selected for them," Wang Yingchao said after a moment's hesitation. "They are just some chores, which are enough to accommodate them. But the monthly salary of these jobs we found for them is only four taels of silver, and among them Two taels will be taken away by the county government as management expenses. This kind of treatment is almost the same as that of the black agencies outside." At this point, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"That's what you said," Lin Xiaofeng smiled, "How wonderful the life in our county is! The air is sweet and the atmosphere is free. You can't buy such an environment for ten taels of silver! What's more, they can still be here What about spreading their beliefs and culture?”

Wang Yingchao said with some worry: "But these foreigners want to make money to preach. In our county, two taels of silver is only enough for living expenses, so they can't save money at all."

"What is not made clear in the book," Lin Xiaofeng explained, "is that we actually don't want them to save too much money. If they want to make extra money, they can work part-time as long as they have enough energy, and we don't have to stop them. "They." He paused and said, "If they really save money and plan to build a church, should our county allow them to do this?"

"This problem is indeed a bit tricky," Wang Yingchao said with a frown. "If they really have the ability and get permission, then we will let them build it! After all, this is their freedom of belief." At this point, he looked up Xiang Lin Xiaofeng, "Master, do you have any specific suggestions?"

"If they really have the ability, let them build it!" Lin Xiaofeng said dissatisfied, "Our Yangqu County is so big, can't we find a suitable place to build a church? I remember there is an abandoned earth temple in the east end of the county. Leave that place to them. But the building height cannot exceed the original location and it cannot affect the lives of surrounding residents.”

"The Earth Temple?" Wang Yingchao had a strange expression on his face, "That shabby place is short, shabby, and overgrown with weeds. Is it really possible?"

"Yangqu County is my territory," Lin Xiaofeng said firmly, "I am the landlord here, what can't I do? If they are unconvinced or have any objections, just ask them to talk to me!" He said Then he turned and walked towards the city gate, "And you must also find ways to create some reasonable obstacles and restrictions for them in the county. How can it be so easy to preach?"

"How to create obstacles for them?" Wang Yingchao asked doubtfully. This question did make him feel a bit tricky. After all, these missionaries were guests from afar, and their beliefs and culture also needed to be respected and understood.

Lin Xiaofeng said slowly: "You can limit and manage them in terms of working hours, points system, etc. For example, set reasonable working hours and task volumes for them. Only by completing tasks and accumulating enough points can they obtain corresponding rewards." Rights and benefits. If the working hours and points are not enough, they will not be allowed to purchase land or conduct other business activities." He paused and said, "These missionaries have different loyalties to the church. We can definitely try to divide them. They cause conflicts and disagreements among them.”

After hearing this, Wang Yingchao nodded in agreement with this approach, but still said with some concern: "But there is still a problem that needs to be paid attention to. Even if they don't have a church, they can still carry out missionary activities! They can quietly hold some small-scale gatherings in private or We can’t stop preaching activities at all, right?” After all, these missionaries are people with firm beliefs, and they are likely to find various ways to bypass these restrictions and obstacles to carry out missionary activities.

"This problem is actually not difficult to solve." Lin Xiaofeng said as he pulled over Lu Sinan and Insomnia and introduced them to Wang Yingchao. "The two of them will help you manage these missionaries. Among these foreigners, only one person can Communicate with us and you give him a separate job and isolate him from the others and just teach them the language and culture.”

"So can we use some techniques or methods in the teaching process?" Wang Yingchao asked tentatively, "For example, change the word 'Holy Father' to 'Court' or something like that, and let them say it to everyone when they preach. Wouldn’t it be enough to go to heaven if you believe in the imperial court?” Although his idea was a bit naive and childish, it also reflected his confusion and helplessness about how to manage these missionaries.

Lu Sinan and Qinwei Caoer looked at each other and smiled. They felt that Wang Yingchao's idea was indeed a bit too simple. However, they also understood the difficulties and pressures Wang Yingchao faced. After all, the arrival of these missionaries did bring unprecedented challenges and changes to Yangqu County. They need to face and solve this problem together to ensure the harmony and stability of Yangqu County.

Lin Xiaofeng also shook his head and said: "This method is useless. After they learn it, they will definitely modify it themselves." A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, as if he had foreseen the future situation, "Just think about it, when they learn it and correct it , what would those simple people think? They would think that these missionaries asked them to believe in the imperial court, and then asked them to believe in the Holy Father. Isn’t this treating people like monkeys? Who will believe them then? Rhetoric?" A contemptuous smile appeared on his lips, as if he knew the missionary's tactics well.

He continued, "If they really come to your door, just say there is a problem with the translation of the textbooks and just find an excuse to send them away." His tone revealed a kind of calmness and wit, as if everything was under control. among.

Lin Xiaofeng stood on the tower, overlooking the street scene of Yangqu County. He was wearing a green robe with fluttering sleeves, just like a worldly master. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see everything in the world.

He laid out the next tasks in detail, how to guide the missionaries skillfully, how to deal with various possible situations, and how to use various means to ensure the stability and harmony of Yangqu County. His every word revealed wisdom and skill, which made Wang Yingchao and others present admire him with admiration. Their admiration for Lin Xiaofeng is beyond words, and they are also full of confidence in the future of Yangqu County.

On the streets of Yangqu County, Lin Xiaofeng walked quickly through the crowd. His target was clear, the priests wearing robes and top hats. They were sitting in a corner, talking animatedly. Seeing Lin Xiaofeng approaching, their faces showed happy smiles.

"Fathers, have you enjoyed your journey to a far distance?" Lin Xiaofeng asked loudly, his tone full of concern. He is like an old friend reunited after a long absence, making people feel friendly and warm.

The carriage the priests were riding in came slowly, and Lin Xiaofeng could imagine the beautiful scenery they enjoyed along the way. It was a flat and wide avenue, lined with trees and fragrant flowers. The beautiful scenery of Yangqu New Town unfolds like a scroll, making people forget to leave.

Father Jesus raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I am now convinced that everything you said is true. This place is indeed breathtaking." There was a sincerity in his eyes. of appreciation and joy.

The anxiety and uneasiness I felt when I first arrived have disappeared. Lin Xiaofeng's introduction was exactly the same as the scene here, making them feel real and vivid. They seem to have integrated into this land and become one with everything here.

Such clean roads and elegant surroundings are rare in Ferrero. Not to mention those exquisitely designed and unique small buildings outside the city. This kind of building can only be owned by wealthy people in Ferrero. But here, you can see it everywhere.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and stretched out his hand in an elegant invitation gesture: "Priests, please follow me into the city for a visit. But please keep your entourage in order. We, the people of Yangqu, have never seen foreign guests like you. To prevent them from being frightened and causing unnecessary misunderstandings." His voice was gentle and powerful, which made people feel inexplicably reassured.

Father Jesus nodded in understanding. He turned around and briefly explained to the missionaries, then faced Lin Xiaofeng again: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, they are all devout believers and will abide by your rules." His tone was firm and sincere, as if he was promising something to Lin Xiaofeng.

"That's good, let's set off." Lin Xiaofeng said. He turned and walked into the city, followed by the priests.

Under the gaze of many foreign faces, the soldiers defending the city of Yangqu stood ready. They marched into the city in uniform formation, as if to show the military might of Yangqu County to the priests.

The city's gate slowly opened, and Father Jesus was shocked by the sight he saw. On both sides of the spacious and clean road, buildings of different styles line up row upon row. The streets are crowded with people, busy with traffic, and very lively. This kind of prosperity is unimaginable in Ferrero.

The missionaries also let out heartfelt exclamations of admiration, whispering to each other about their feelings. However, the arrival of this large group of outsiders immediately attracted the attention of the people of Yangqu. They curiously looked at these foreigners with tall noses and deep eyes, pointing and talking.

The city gate seemed to have turned into a big stage, and all eyes were focused on these foreign visitors. The members of the mission began to feel a little nervous and awkward. They stopped talking and chose silence. The two sides fell into a subtle stalemate.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng passed through the crowd and stood next to Father Jesus. His appearance seemed to make the people of Yangqu relax their vigilance. Seeing Lin Xiaofeng standing with these foreigners, they might think that these foreigners were Lin Xiaofeng's. Guests, so they are no longer so guarded and nervous.

After feeling the strange looks from all directions, Lin Xiaofeng raised his hands and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! This is the distant friend I am leading to visit our beautiful Yangqu County! Just go and do whatever you need to do, don't be here There are people watching here!" His loud and powerful voice penetrated the noisy streets and reached everyone's ears.

Everyone was full of trust in Lin Xiaofeng's words, so the crowd of onlookers began to slowly disperse. Although there were still some curious eyes glancing at them from time to time, at least it was no longer so crowded and noisy. Lin Xiaofeng turned back to Father Jesus with a comforting smile and said, "You may not be used to it when you first arrive. Once you get out and walk around more, you will get used to it."

Father Jesus nodded to express his understanding and thanked him: "Thank you Mr. Lin for understanding our difficulties." After all, the culture here is completely different from that of Ferrero, and even the looks of the people are very different. Think about it if Ferrero suddenly influxes into his shoes. A group of Orientals, they would also feel wary and uneasy.

Under the leadership of Lin Xiaofeng, the missionary team continued to move forward. Although there were still people watching curiously, everyone was not so excited when they saw Lin Xiaofeng leading the way. The missionary team looked at this strange city while walking. They had been in Jingjiang for some time, but before they had rushed from Surabaya Port to Kyoto and were placed in a remote residence. Now they came to this prosperous " Only in the big city can we get a glimpse of the true style of Jingjiang.

The architectural style here is unique and full of charm, the urban environment is clean and orderly, and everything exudes vitality. Father Jesus is full of excitement in his heart. He is full of appreciation and expectations for this city. Great! This place is really nice! It was completely different from the poor and backward countries he had been to. In those places, whenever the rainy season came, mud flew up and garbage was everywhere; the air was filled with a disgusting smell that made people suffocate. But what about the people here? They are neatly dressed and full of energy; the streets are filled with a vague fragrance, which makes people feel mysterious and attractive. Is this the smell of the food they cook?
Father Jesus' eyes were attracted by the stalls on the street. Various delicacies were being cooked in the stalls. The steam was rising and the fragrance was overflowing. He couldn't help but swallowed, "Mr. Lin, what is that?" he asked curiously, pointing to the stall.

Lin Xiaofeng followed his hand and said, "Oh, those are steamed buns, haven't you tried them?" He explained with a smile.

The priest shook his head, "No, where we live we only eat various cooked vegetables and a snack called steamed buns, not even bread." There was a sense of helplessness and regret in his words.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng noticed that many missionaries were attracted by the street stalls, so he said: "You must be hungry after walking such a long way. I will take you to eat something first. When you are full, we will take your time." Look." His suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

Father Jesus licked his lips in embarrassment, "Mr. Lin, we don't have any coins here yet." He said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, I'll invite you this time, come with me." Lin Xiaofeng enthusiastically invited, and under his leadership, the members of the mission team arrived in front of a restaurant.

On the way to the restaurant, the members of the mission team were still looking around curiously. Father Jesus suddenly asked: "Mr. Lin, I found that the roads here are very well built, but why are there so many trees planted on the roadside? Isn't this right?" Will it take up space?" His question made Lin Xiaofeng smile slightly.

"Because it's beautiful," Lin Xiaofeng replied, "Beauty is productivity. We Jingjiang people pay attention to the way of nature, and the style of the city is the same. The roads are lined with trees and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. This environment is not only beautiful but also purifies the air. It makes people feel relaxed and happy.” His words reveal a kind of awe and love for nature.

"Uh... it's indeed quite beautiful." Father Jesus replied hesitantly. It was obvious that he had not fully adapted to the aesthetic concepts here, but he still tried hard to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him. "There are blue little people and pink little people painted there. What are people’s houses for?” he asked curiously again.

"That's a public toilet," Lin Xiaofeng explained. "The blue people represent men and the pink people represent women. We Jingjiang people pay attention to public health and environmental cleanliness, so we set up such public facilities to facilitate everyone." His words It reveals an emphasis on and concern for public health.

Father Jesus' mood was complicated and contradictory, with joy and bitterness intertwined in his heart. He looked around and admired how beautifully built the public toilets were, with white tiles covering them, as clean as new, and exuding a faint scent of lavender. But in distant Ferrero, they were still using simple latrines and the smell was so bad that he couldn't help but feel bitter.

They walked on the stone-paved street, under the cherry blossom trees beside the street, there were colorful fallen flowers. The breeze blew, and the pink and white petals fluttered in the wind, flying like snow flakes. While enjoying the picturesque spring scenery and chatting, they soon arrived in front of the restaurant.

The appearance of the restaurant is simple and elegant, with red lanterns hanging at the door, exuding a strong Chinese style. At this time, Lin Xiaofeng, like a skilled conductor, began to arrange seats and dishes. He turned to Lu Sinan and said, "Lu Sinan, go and see if there are enough seats first, and then arrange a table for ten people for them later. Remember to put the account on my head. We will wait here. Don't disturb us." to others.”

At this moment, Dogtail Cao'er suddenly stopped and said with a strange expression: "Brother, wait a moment, I have something to do, I will go in later."

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked, "What's the matter with you?" He smiled when he saw Dogtail Cao'er, then took out something from his arms and said mysteriously: "I have a good thing. , I want to enjoy it first before going in.”

When that thing appeared in front of Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, "This...is this?" he asked in surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.

It was a simple pipe. Although it had a strange style, it was obviously not a product of the Central Plains. Puppy Tail Cao'er looked at Lin Xiaofeng's expression and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, have you seen this?"

Lin Xiaofeng didn't say anything. He quickly took the thing from the puppy Tail Cao'er's hand, put it to his nose and smelled it. A familiar and pungent smell rushed into his nose, making his eyes gradually become serious.

"Where did you get this thing?" Lin Xiaofeng stared at the puppy Tail Cao'er closely and asked in a deep voice.

"This is Tamba wild rice, which I saw often smoked by foreigners from the South in Dali Temple." The puppy Tail Cao'er replied nervously, "It smelled quite stinky at first, but it's quite interesting after you get used to smoking it. That's it. You have to avoid people smoking, the burning smell is really too strong..."

He tried to describe the feeling: "Brother Lin, you don't know, this stuff is really good. After smoking it, I feel like I'm in heaven! It's very refreshing!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng still had a tense face and said nothing. This made the puppy Tail Cao'er start to feel uneasy. "Brother Lin, is there anything wrong with this?" he asked cautiously.

"Piao Piao Xian Shi!" Lin Xiaofeng finally broke the silence. He glared at the puppy Tail Cao'er, "This is a symptom of addiction! I have seen this thing before. Some people smoke it in Fujian. It's toxic It’s very big. If you smoke it for a long time, your lungs will turn black, your face will become sallow and your muscles will become thin, and you won’t stop coughing!”

Puppy Tail Cao'er was startled, and he exclaimed: "Really? I thought this was a good thing. Those foreigners from Nanjing are really not good people..."

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed: "Nan Laowai may not know the harm of this thing. You just smoked it not long ago, and it's still too late to quit now. I confiscated this thing first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the restaurant and shouted at the same time: "Go to Dali Temple later and buy me all those Nan Lao Wai goods. Remember to buy them quietly, so as not to make them suspicious."

Lin Xiaofeng decided to vigorously publicize the harm of this harmful thing in private newspapers before it spread in Jingjiang. He hopes to limit future losses, at least to the extent he can. He lowered his head and pondered how to deal with this matter, while the puppy Tail Cao'er was still standing at the door of the restaurant with lingering fear, looking at Lin Xiaofeng's back in a daze.

"Brother Lin, am I really okay?" the puppy Tail Cao'er asked worriedly, "I won't be able to give birth to a baby, right?" After saying that, he took out all the Tamba wild rice in his arms and handed it to Lin Xiaofeng. .

Lin Xiaofeng took the tampa wild rice and comforted him and said, "No, but remember, don't touch this thing again in the future. Now go in and help the priest order food, and forget what happened just now."

The puppy Tail Cao'er nodded in relief and turned to leave. But Lin Xiaofeng stopped him again: "By the way, give me your fire seal too."

Puppy Tail Cao'er obediently handed over the fire fold, and Lin Xiaofeng took it and said, "If I see you touching this thing again, I'll break your legs!"

"Even if you kill me, I won't touch this thing again." The puppy Tail Cao'er vowed. Then he turned around and ran into the restaurant to help the priest order food.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the Tamba wild rice and Huozhezi in his hands and took a deep breath. He knew this was far from over, but he had taken the first step. He was determined to do his best to prevent such harmful things from spreading in Jingjiang. He turned and walked towards the backyard of the restaurant, intending to find a deserted place to destroy the tampa wild rice and huozhezi.

However, in the deep and quiet deserted alley, a figure stretched out under the dim light, looking a little sneaky. He is Lin Xiaofeng. He looked around with a hint of nervousness and expectation in his eyes. The cool night breeze blew by, making him shiver, but it did not reduce his inner excitement.

After making sure that no one was around, Lin Xiaofeng carefully took out an ancient pipe from his arms, which was his former love. He wiped his pipe vigorously, as if caressing an old friend. Then, tremblingly, he took out a fire stick from his pocket, blew it gently, and the faint firelight flickered in the darkness. He stared intently at the gradually igniting sparks, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if at this moment, he had regained the lost years. (End of chapter)
