Yang Hanyue's face was flushed, and she leaned against Tom's hairy chest, panting.

"Tom, can you really send me abroad?"

"Of course, tonight, I will take you to see Father Peter. He will help you conduct the initiation ceremony, and then you will become the daughter of God."

"But," Yang Hanyue said worriedly, "didn't you say that Father Peter is very strict and that new members must pass his rigorous assessment before joining the church? Can I pass it?"

"You can definitely do it." Tom said, "You have passed God's test and made a significant contribution to the rise of the sun. When it gets dark, we will send the girl named Lilac to the church together. The priest sees She will definitely be very happy."

Yang Hanyue smiled happily, as if bathed in the rays of the sun.

Tom, on the other hand, carefully looked at the amulet he took off from Lilac's neck.

He was certain that this stone pendant was a magic weapon used by Eastern wizards.

for it extinguishes the divine light of the Cross of the Sun.

Every believer will have a sun cross.

From the first day he joined the church, the priest told him that the sun god was supreme and that God was invincible.

If you are pious enough, you can call upon the power of God through the cross.

Tom picked up his cross again.

This once glorious sacred object has now become dim and dull.

Although it makes the Eastern wizard's stone lose its efficacy, how can the light of the sun, which is said to be able to drive away all evil spirits in the world and be eternal, be extinguished?

Tom could only blame himself for not being pious enough and failing to receive God's full blessing. The sun's rays were mixed with impurities.

He got up from the bed, put on his clothes, went to the window, and hung the amulet on the window lattice.

The amulet swayed in the air against the sunlight outside the window.

Tom stared at it in a daze.

"Tom, what are you doing?" Yang Hanyue also got dressed and came over.

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."

"What an interesting thing, Tom, you said you would share the happiness with me."

"Of course." Tom looked back at Yang Hanyue, "Yang, tell me, from your Eastern perspective, isn't the girl that the priest just took away beautiful?"

"Yes." Yang Hanyue was slightly jealous, but she had to admit that Lilac was really beautiful.

"That's right, the gifts we offer to God must be the most beautiful." Tom said, gently touching her face, "Yang, you are beautiful too."

Yang Hanyue always felt that Tom's words were strange: "Tom, what happened to you today?"

Tom suddenly asked: "Yang, do you know what the initiation ceremony is?"

Yang Hanyue shook her head: "I don't know, are you holding a cross in your hand and swearing to the Sun God?"

"Oath?" Tom chuckled, "Where does true faith require an oath? When the sun shines, light is all around us, and darkness has nowhere to hide. We need to open everything to God without reservation."

"So, what kind of ceremony is it?" Yang Hanyue became curious.

Tom smiled mysteriously and said: "First, you need to accept the baptism of fire. Your feet will be covered with charcoal fire, and both sides will be lit with candles. Then, you need to accept the test of darkness. Cover your eyes with a black cloth, and use only Feel the light beneath your feet in your heart and walk on the road of coals.”

Yang Hanyue wrinkled her nose and started to feel a little scared: "Won't it burn me? What's next?"

"Next, you have to accept the test of betrayal and death. You will be tied to a cross, and someone will put a sharp knife to your throat and ask you about the whereabouts of the holy objects. They will ask you three times, and you will say three times that you don't know. . Then, they will cut your stomach with a sharp knife and take out your internal organs."

"Ah!" Yang Hanyue screamed, "Isn't that dead?"

"No, it won't." Tom said, "As long as you have firm faith, you will not die or suffer any pain. But if you have a trace of hesitation or rebellion, then pain and death will also come. It will follow.”

"Your internal organs will be inspected by God. The priest will help you clean your heart and intestines, put them back into your body, and sew your belly shut. Finally, you will be thrown away into the dark night where beasts are infested. At sunrise the next day , someone will take off the black cloth covering your eyes, and you will be reborn in the first light of dawn. When you open your eyes, you will see a completely different world from the past!"

Yang Hanyue felt a little scared and said tremblingly: "Tom, can I not participate in the ceremony?"

“How can you join the church if you don’t participate in the ceremony?”

"I don't want to join your religion, I just want to go abroad."

Tom nodded: "I understand."

He didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and looked at the cross in his hand.

He raised the cross high, faced the sun outside the window, and began to sing hymns of praise devoutly:

"The light of your face rises from the darkness, and the sky is covered with colorful clouds. Facing your fire, the world is filled with joy... You make the stars recede, and you make the earth bright. You are the king of the gods. Facing your fire, We go to eternal life..."

The cross shines again, and light appears dimly.

Tom suddenly turned around and pointed the cross at Yang Hanyue.

Yang Hanyue exclaimed: "Tom!"

A ray of light shot out from the cross and hit Yang Hanyue's eyebrows.

Yang Hanyue felt dizzy, tilted her body, and fainted.

Tom put his arms around Yang Hanyue's waist and gently placed her on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Yang. After this girl disappeared today, they will definitely find you. I can't believe that you can keep secret. You are not pious enough in your heart and without the blessing of divine power, you will definitely confess me."

Tom squatted on the ground and looked at Yang Hanyue lovingly.

"In this case, we can only treat you, like them, as a sacrifice to the devil in the darkness before dawn. Don't worry, when the sun rises, you will be saved by God."

At this moment, Tom suddenly felt something was wrong.

Turning around suddenly, he suddenly discovered that the stone hanging on the window lattice was shining with golden light.

"The magic of the Eastern wizard is indeed magical!"

Tom muttered, picked up the cross, and pointed it at the stone.

The cross emits white light, meets the golden light on the stone, and explodes in the air.

The interior was brilliant and dazzling.

Tom was very confused. The power of the witchcraft contained in the stone should have been exhausted in the sacred light of the first cross.

He could reawaken the Holy Cross with his inner piety, but how could the wizard's stone manifest its magic again without being manipulated by anyone?

In the blinding light, he saw a hand grabbing the stone.

Then, a figure floated in from the window and landed gently on the ground.

"Who are you?" asked Tom.

Li Muchen frowned as he looked at the cross in Tom's hand. There was still a faint light shining on it.

But from that faint light, he felt the powerful power coming from a deep and distant place.

"Sun Holy Cult!"
