Chapter 95 The Church of Light
Constantine is 60 years old this year. He has believed in the God of Light with his mother since he can remember, and has not stopped for a day. He is an extremely devout believer.Decades of religious belief have turned him from an ordinary believer into a clergyman, and he has been promoted step by step to the priest of the Starn City Church in the Bava Diocese.

This title sounds extremely glamorous, but in fact, the so-called Starn City Church was rebuilt from an abandoned warehouse, and the so-called reconstruction was to fix the walls that were about to collapse, and plug the holes in the roof with wood and thatch. Whitewashed inside and out with whitewash.Such a dilapidated church is the place where all the believers of the Illuminati Church in Starn City pray, although there are only a dozen or so people praying every time.

Yue Chuan didn't know what the situation of the Guangming Church in other countries and regions was like, but the Guangming Church in Starn City could only be described with one miserable word.The two old men and the three little guys sitting in the hall should be all the staff members of Starn City Church.With just a few of them, one can imagine how many believers they can develop.

Indeed, in his entire life, except for devout prayers, Constantine has devoted all his energy to developing believers, but he has worked hard for decades, and the number of believers he has developed is not more than a hundred, and many of these believers are Most of them came here with the mentality of watching the excitement, and most of them never came back after leaving the church, and the remaining half were also ignorant poor people. The main purpose of believing in religion is for the bowl of gruel during weekend prayers. .

But now, the churches in Starn City almost ran out of porridge, so they had to try to seek some help from these rich families. Speaking of the wealthiest people in Starn City, it was naturally the Lei Ze family.But Constantine didn't expect that they heard such words as soon as they entered the door. The richest man in Starn City turned out to be a devout believer.

God of Light, have you finally taken care of our poor people?

Constantine walked to the door and knelt down slowly. The sunlight outside the door shrouded Constantine in it. Several other priests, old and young, also knelt behind Constantine and took out the cross neatly. , muttering the scriptures of praise.

Although Yue Chuan knew a little about the Guangming Church, most of it came from movies and novels. If he recited scriptures with Constantine and the others, he would definitely reveal his secrets.However, Yue Chuan Yue Chuan still followed Constantine and the others kneeling on the ground to worship the God of Light, humming tongue twisters such as eating grapes but not spitting grape skins.

Fortunately, Constantine and the others were very excited and did not pay attention to what Yue Chuan was saying. After thanking the God of Light, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and helped Yue Chuan up, and said kindly: "The god will not abandon anyone. A believer, our prayers will reach the ears of the gods, children, get up."

Several people sat back to their seats again, the atmosphere in the room was much more enthusiastic, and it was no longer as stiff as before. Yue Chuan smiled and let the little believers eat pastries. The children looked at Constantine pitifully, Constantine They didn't stop them, but nodded, and the children immediately grabbed the cakes like hungry wolves, coughing so much that they were still desperately stuffing food into their mouths, Yue Chuan was dumbfounded, how long did he have to be hungry.

A look of shame appeared on Constantine's wrinkled face, and he explained embarrassingly: "Well, there is really no rice in the church. These children haven't had enough to eat for two days."

Yue Chuan looked at Constantine in surprise, and said, "Father, haven't you eaten?"

After hearing Yue Chuan's words, several little doll believers immediately showed a look of shame, and brought the cakes to Constantine with tears in their eyes for Constantine to eat.Seeing this scene, Yue Chuan felt a wave of emotion in his heart.I used to read too many novels that smeared the Church of Light, and thought that the Church of Light was all cunning, vicious, treacherous and selfish people, but I didn't expect that they also have such a kind and beautiful side.

Constantine stroked the tops of the children's heads, randomly picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he used his sleeve to catch the falling residue, and then wriggled his lips to suck the residue on the sleeve into his mouth.Several children also imitated Constantine, using their little hands to pick up the pastry residues on the table and plates and put them into their mouths.

Yue Chuan let out a long sigh, and thought to himself: Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work, and people who have never experienced hunger will never be grateful for food.Then he ordered the servant to take a few old people and children to the restaurant for dinner.

Constantine did not leave, and he did not forget his mission on this trip.Moreover, Yue Chuan's deep understanding of the teachings of the Guangming Church gave him a ray of hope. He was extremely eager to develop Yue Chuan into the Guangming Church. If there was such a believer, the church in Starn City would no longer have to worry about money.Oh no, God, please forgive me, I shouldn't have such sinful thoughts.

"Father, in fact, my father is also a believer. I have been studying the teachings with my father since I was a child, but my father has been busy and has not had much time to teach me. I also know little about the teachings. After joining the church, I hope that the priest can teach me more. Teach me."

Constantine's beard was trembling with excitement, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to develop Yue Chuan into the church. Yue Chuan already regarded himself as a member of the church, and said that he would teach him more in the future.God, is it really the God of Light who guides our encounter in the dark?Thank you God of Light!

For Yue Chuan's request, Constantine naturally agreed in haste. He would definitely do everything he could to make Yue Chuan understand and comprehend the teachings of light.

"I have been in Starn City for many years, and I have never been to our church in Starn City. It must be the same as what my father described. The roads are studded with gold, pearls, and agates, and all kinds of strange things are blooming on the side of the road. The flowers and plants are colorful all year round..."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Constantine's mouth, and he thought to himself: Where is the church described by Old Lei Ze that is so prosperous?What a blessing to be able to teach in such a church.

"Our church in Starn City is not that prosperous, alas..." With a long sigh, Constantine really didn't know how to describe the predicament in the church to Yue Chuan.

Yue Chuan shook his head indifferently, "Father taught me that as long as there is a god in my heart, there is heaven everywhere. Churches are just ordinary things made of mud tiles. No matter how magnificent, if the people inside are not devout to the gods, it is better A thatched hut."

Constantine felt that it was so pleasant to talk to a highly enlightened believer like Yue Chuan, so he couldn't help chuckling a few times, "Your father's faith must be firmer than mine, and your father's understanding of doctrine must be deeper than mine, alas , it's just a pity..."

Yue Chuan naturally knew what a pity Constantine was talking about, so he just had to put on a sad look, make the cross like Constantine did, and silently recite scriptures that he couldn't understand.

"Blessed by the God of Light, we can get something out of our labor. I am going to pay for the rebuilding of the church to express my devotion to the God of Light, and I hope the priest will agree."

Build a church?Constantine just wanted to agree with both hands and feet, how could he object, let alone rebuilding, even if Yue Chuan donated a few gold coins for repairs, he was moved to tears.

"Okay, okay...I will definitely report your deeds to the bishop of the Bava diocese, and let the bishop personally preside over your initiation ceremony."

Yue Chuan quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I pray to the gods day and night. The gods guide you to meet me, priest. The gods mean that you will be my guide. Father, don't you want to?"

Constantine originally felt that his status was too low to be worthy of a noble believer like Yue Chuan, so he moved out to be the Archbishop of Bava Diocese, but he didn't expect Yue Chuan to insist on letting himself be the guide, and he was moved and flattered for a while .

The two talked for a while, and the old and young people who went to eat came back with round stomachs. They still held the food for Constantine in their hands. cried out.

"Hehe, priest, hurry up and eat something. If you are starving, who will help you spread the teachings and guide believers in the future!"

Looking at Constantine who couldn't help but burst into tears while eating, Yue Chuan secretly sighed.To deceive the wicked, you can feel at ease, but to deceive the pure and kind people, you will feel a heavy sense of guilt in your heart. In order to deceive these religious people, you even brought up old Lei Ze to talk about it.

But Yue Chuan then thought that this was just a white lie. He got the protection he wanted from the Guangming Church, and the Guangming Church would get a qualitative improvement in his life. Both sides should get what they need, so why not?

Since the conscience can't bear it, let's put more effort into the construction of the church. Anyway, there is no shortage of money now, and the craftsmen who built the commercial area are still there, and there are still building materials left, so it's just a good time to use waste... No, no, things Make the most of it.

It's not the weekend now, and there is no need to pray in the church. Constantine and his party live in the Lei Ze family, while Doug, under Yue Chuan's order, started buying land around the church.Fortunately, that area is a slum area. Yue Chuan offered a very high price, and there was no resistance at all to buy the land. There were even many poor people who were struggling to make ends meet begging Doug to buy their shabby houses. Doug saw the budget There are many more, who simply refuse to come, and almost bought the entire slum area.

And those poor people who took the money immediately turned into a little rich, or bought a field for self-sufficiency, or bought a small shop for self-management. Poor life.However, this has nothing to do with Yue Chuan.
