Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 158 162 Propagation of the Holy Name

"Your sins are naturally enough to be burned to death ten thousand times. But with your humbleness, you are not qualified to bear the flames of the god! The new mayor will naturally sentence you according to the kingdom's law! As for the new mayor Candidates for—”

Said lightly, Zuo Ming revealed a hint of hesitation.

"Master Erlangshen, I think Captain Ryan can be the mayor!"

"Yes! He has always been the most loyal servant of the gods, and he will definitely continue to serve the gods in the future!"

"Captain Ryan is not only fair and brave, but also generous. He is indeed a good candidate for mayor!"

Immediately, there were bursts of discussions and suggestions in a timely manner, and it goes without saying that it was Ryan's subordinates who were booing.

This was something that had been discussed in advance, and Zuo Ming naturally would not object, so he immediately confirmed Ryan's position as mayor.

After Ryan took office, the first thing he did was to execute a few pastors, and then welcomed Zuo Ming into the church, making him the owner of this small church.

A god presides over a church, which naturally attracts many congregants from surrounding towns.For this reason, Zuo Ming once again performed many miracles.For example, using magnets to perform distance fetching, and some tricks such as standing wooden sticks in the water and clearing muddy water without touching the water.

And with Zuo Ming's miracles emerging one after another, his reputation became more and more great, and even some authentic priests around him came here one after another and prayed to him.

It's just that these people just come, they always bring a lot of tribute, not only them, but also other congregants, no one has ever come to the church empty-handed.

After receiving so much money and supplies, Sabo, who has become a young pastor, was naturally overjoyed, but Zuo Ming shook his head lightly, and asked Sabo to put those things at the church door for those in need took away.

For Zuo Ming's approach, Sabo couldn't understand, "Why do you want to cheapen those homeless people for nothing! With so much money, we can buy a big manor!"

"Have you forgotten what happened to those pastors? The people are the best to be fooled, because they are too simple, but if you fool them without any scruples because of this, then you will be very dangerous!

One citizen may not be scary, and ten or even a hundred people are not scary either!But one thousand, ten thousand!What do you think this kingdom was built on?I tell you, it is the people!There is an old saying in our hometown, which is called 'Water can carry a boat and also capsize it'!Everything we have now, whether it is wealth or honor, depends on these believers. Without their support, how do you think other churches will treat us?wake up!Our journey has just begun!There are still challenges and risks that you can't even imagine! "

Zuo Ming shook his head and sighed.

He felt that he was like a magic stick now, but none of the fateful magic sticks in history had a good end.

Jesus was actually the biggest magic stick, but didn't he die a miserable death in the end?He didn't want to end up with him.

After hearing these words, Sabo nodded dejectedly, "Then what shall we do in the future? We can't just give it to the homeless every time! Now those dirty guys are already living at our door. "Sabo was furious when he mentioned this matter.

"Hang a sign at the door of the church, and write 'The real gods don't need to ask the believers, and the true believers don't need to give to the gods. Pray and repent regularly, and keep in mind the truth, goodness and beauty in this world, which is the most perfect service to the gods'!" "

After pondering for a while, Zuo Ming said with a flickering expression.

It is conceivable that once his words came out, what a shock it would be to the bishop and even the pope!

In this era, people always pay attention to paid dedication.They feel that only by dedicating their wealth can they be blessed by the gods.

What Zuo Ming is doing now is undoubtedly breaking the existing values.

He raised the selflessness and greatness of the gods to an unprecedented height, which even the Pope cannot refute, because once he refute it, it would be tantamount to putting a coat of greed on the gods!

They can only be forced to choose to admit that the gods really do not need any mortal matter. They are detached and solve the extreme suffering for the people, but they never seek rewards!

For this approach, Saab is very disapproving.He felt that this kind of behavior was like an idiot's behavior, and even muttered in a low voice, "I don't want anything, so shall we drink the northwest wind?"

But complaints are complaints, and Sabo finally did what Zuo Ming said.

While Sabo was busy hanging the sign, Zuo Ming came to a cemetery behind the monastery and sat down slowly.

There is a small tombstone with a line of Chinese characters written on it, "In the name of the universe, I grant you eternal life, my kind Jack."

Gently stroking Jack's tombstone, Zuo Ming said softly, "Jack, although no amount of repentance and compensation can bring back your rebirth, please allow me to use your name selfishly. You are a good boy , always upholding justice in your heart, you died because of the justice in your heart, then I will be responsible for passing it on. Believe me, it will not be long before the hypocrisy and evil in this land will be swept away, and we will usher in A beautiful era that you never caught up with. I will give it all to Sabo."

After speaking softly, Zuo Ming sighed again, then slowly stood up and walked towards the auditorium.

At this time, Sabo has hung a wooden sign at the gate according to Zuo Ming's intention.

The news of Erlang God's refusal to accept the tribute immediately spread throughout the town, and all the loyal believers showed puzzled faces, while those who still had doubts about Zuo Ming's god name breathed a sigh of relief. Then there was an unprecedented frenzy.

This is the real god!Look how well he speaks! "The real gods don't need to ask the believers", don't they?They can create everything, so what else do they need?Wouldn't it be possible to use divine power to create?

There is also the sentence "Regular prayer and confession, keeping in mind the truth, goodness and beauty in this world is the most perfect service to the gods", he really wants to educate mortals!He really sees us as his most beloved children!Much better than those pastors!

Not only the people of this town, but also the surrounding people were shocked and delighted for a long time when they got the news.

They were already poor, and many of them were unable to worship and pray because they could not pay enough tribute.But now they don't have to worry about it anymore!Because God has said, even if you don’t donate a penny, as long as you are sincere and kind, God will not abandon you!

People are like this, the more you don't want to ask for it, the more solemn their dedication will be.After receiving the news, some believers from wealthy families changed their ways and stuffed things into the church.

Not to mention Sabo, even Zuo Ming was unexpected.

Those people give things like thieves, they always come and go secretly, and it is impossible to send them back.Moreover, most of the food they sent was eggs and fish, and it seemed that there was no need to send them back.

More than that, in the following days, Saab can be said to have enjoyed unprecedented benefits.

Wherever he went, no matter whether he ate, drank, lived, or traveled, it was basically free.People affectionately call him "saint" and regard him as the only messenger of the gods!This made Sabo, who preached everywhere according to Zuo Ming's request, feel a little ecstatic.

The way Sabo preached is naturally no longer that of Christianity.Although it is not contrary to Christian teachings in general, it is also quite different.

There are only three Protestant doctrines formulated by Zuo Ming, and these three principles can be summed up in only three words: justice, bravery, and kindness.

He advocated that everyone should uphold justice and be brave to stand up when encountering injustice. He also suggested that people must be kind, and be kind to themselves and everyone around them.

For this reason, he divided heaven into three classes, namely "angels", "saints" and "Holy Spirit"!Only those who are truly righteous, brave and kind can climb the ladder of the "Holy Spirit" and share eternal life and bliss with the gods.For the rest, after staying in heaven for a period of time, they will be reincarnated and practice again until they have no more sins in this life!
These three points seem to be easy to achieve on the surface, but Zuo Ming can affirm that it is almost impossible to uphold these three points for a lifetime, even if it is a god, it is absolutely impossible.

Because even Jesus Christ, before attaining the holy name, was not completely brave, he also had times of cowardice.

The most important thing about this teaching is that people obviously think it is easy to do it, but they just can't do it!This gives people an illusion that "I am not good enough", "I am guilty", and if I am guilty, I will naturally repent and pray!But where to pray?
This is a question, and not a very big one, because they quickly have the answer in their minds.

Ever since, with the spread of Protestant teachings, more people came to this small town now named Holy Jack, prayed and confessed to the descended god sitting in the auditorium.

Regarding the confession of these people, Zuo Ming will randomly select a few to enlighten and persuade them.He is a person who is very good at fooling around, and this heart-to-heart talk naturally made those who repented violently sublimate from body to body to force.

Everyone felt that it was a very happy thing to communicate with the gods, because he almost wrote every word, so that they would not be disheartened when they confessed, and the whole person would be much more relaxed.

As a result, it is natural that there are countless people scrambling to get the enlightenment of the gods every week.

However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This sentence has always been the eternal truth.

The business of Zuo Ming's small church is so prosperous, so it is natural that many bad priests around him are jealous.Especially the "free God's blessing policy" that Zuo Ming implemented, which made them lose a lot of income.

Although they don't need to spend any more money to go out now, what's the use of that?What they want is not just to eat and drink without worrying about it!What they want is gold and silver, money!Even the bodies of female believers!
Zuo Ming's words made all their extravagant hopes come to naught, how could they not hate?

Under this grudge, a long-planned conspiracy was launched!

Are you not a god?Don’t you want to help believers free of charge?Well, then I will directly send you a believer who is about to die, and I will see how you can save it!
If you can’t be saved, you are a false god!You are a false god, we will burn you to death!

Those people don't believe that Zuo Ming is not afraid of fire, even if the outside world says it's miraculous, they still firmly believe that Zuo Ming is just a smarter "person"!
