Chapter 187 Approaching the Gods (9)
In the shrine, at dawn the priest swept away the dust on the incense table, offered three sticks of incense, lit candles, replaced them with fresh water, fruits, and cakes, and then Sit on your knees in front of the Buddha statue and recite the sacred book.
This is her daily morning routine.
What are you doing in the afternoon? It seems like they are out on a missionary trip?
I don’t quite remember what I did at night.
What her past is like, how she became a priest, and how she has been here for more than forty years, her memory is a little blurry.
In a trance, there was a feeling that her life seemed to start from today.
However, this may be because she worships the Supreme God wholeheartedly. Her heart is clear and there is nothing else, and the past is all in vain.
The only change in my life that has not changed recently is the new little girl.
I was just a little lazy, so I copied the book until I fell asleep...
I don’t know how such a little girl can do such a good job of worshiping the Supreme God and spreading the glory of the Supreme God!
The great priest actually wants to use her! A young girl!
Think about myself back then... Huh? How did you get here?
Priest Dawn was stunned, unable to recall these memories.
It wasn't until a large stack of parchment was raised in front of her that she was dug out of the quagmire of confused contemplation.
"Priest Dawn, I have finished copying one copy." Liu Sheng said.
“So fast?” Priest Dawn’s eyes widened.
Although she felt that Liu Sheng was lazy and procrastinating, she did not think that he could finish it so quickly. After all, she knew that it was not easy to finish copying a book.
"Well, the great priest asked me to go out to preach. I thought before that, no matter how hard I try, I have to complete this mission well."
Liu Sheng spoke and felt comfortable. , Priest Dawn was inexplicably moved.
But her temperament was reserved and she couldn't say any words of praise. She just took the manuscript and read it page by page carefully.
Liu Sheng knelt down on the futon beside him and waited quietly, then he took a serious look at this small and old shrine.
After reading this, she became more and more convinced that their temple had little money.
The interior of the shrine is very narrow, only a few steps wide, and the space can only accommodate a few people kneeling at the same time.
The weak candlelight swayed around, intersecting with the dappled sunlight coming in from the door, brightening everything in the house.
The walls were in disrepair and showed traces of moisture. In some places, the masonry had even begun to fall off, exposing the dust behind it.
The floor is just an ordinary bluestone slab, and there are even some broken floor tiles that have not been repaired, or there is no money to repair them.
Put several futons on the ground, kneel and sit on them. When you look up, you can see the altar table and the statue of the god behind the altar table.
In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Sheng had never seen the statue of the Supreme God, but in this illusion, there was obviously this setting.
Due to the erosion of time, the face of the statue has become difficult to recognize. The lines on the face have long been worn away, leaving only a few outlines of the eyes, nose, and lips barely visible.
However, even so, the statue still exudes a solemn and sacred atmosphere, which makes people dare not look directly at it, but they can't help but worship, trust and attach themselves to it, hoping to dedicate everything...
[You cried. 】
When Liu Sheng heard Shi Shi's words, he raised his hand and touched his face. His fingertips were wet.
【Is it because my setting is already a priest? So I will naturally believe in the Supreme God? 】
【Yes, your character settings. 】
[Will it affect me in reality? 】
Liu Sheng lowered his head to wipe away his tears and cover up the cold light in his eyes.
[Hui, faith, is a brand, engraved on the soul. 】
【Analyzed based on the coding in the "Log"? 】
【Yes, it should be said that the structure of "faith" is similar to a virus program, which is infectious, and if the infection lasts for a long time, it will form a soul imprint. 】
[I think this is the reason why so many candidates are given this illusion. Isn’t the "brand" of belief formed by the divine being not enough? 】
【Not enough. Your Senior Sister Nangong and Miss Wen lost their faith once they lost their cultivation. There must be many such people. 】【So this time is equivalent to a patch? 】
[According to the log, this interview is a small patch test, and at the same time, it will screen out the talents he wants. 】
Liu Sheng had some understanding in his heart. It seems that there will be a large-scale patch in the future.
[Back to the contagiousness of faith, this is the key to so-called missionary work. 】
【When faith exists as a virus-like program, it can be "infected" through specific trigger words, media or actions during interaction. 】
【Once "infected", the program can affect the infected target's thinking mode, form a fixed belief pattern, guide it to conduct in-depth exploration or participate in more related religious activities, and provide "faith value" for higher beings. ". 】
【With this explanation, I suddenly understood what the Supreme God wanted, although I still didn’t know what the use was. 】
Liu Sheng raised his head and glanced at the blurry statue, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, but this chill was quickly suppressed by the warmth and holiness brought by the power of faith.
At this time, Liu Sheng finally realized how terrifying the "Work Diary" she had obtained under the guidance of the world was.
[But you no longer have the energy to enter high dimensions. The "Log" I read can only be up to the latest maintenance, and I haven't had time to read the earlier content... The Creation of the Supreme God It's very early. 】
Looks like you’re going to earn points!
Liu Sheng finally gained motivation.
……
Priest Dawn was indeed reciting this book every day, but he finished reading the manuscript in less than half an hour.
"The words are good, especially the words at the back, which are even better."
After hearing this, the small tentacles started to show off in Liu Sheng's body.
“There are no typos or omissions, it’s very accurate.”
Priest Dawn’s thin and straight face finally had a hint of warmth, knowing that Liu Sheng must have put a lot of thought into it to be able to do it. so.
"Yes, you come with me."
Priest Dawn stood up and walked out of the temple with the manuscript copied by Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng quickly followed, following her footsteps through the side moon gate outside the shrine, through the small courtyard, and to the residence at the rear.
Several of their priests live here.
Priest Dawn said nothing, opened the door of his room and walked in.
Although Liu Sheng was a little confused, he knew what Ming Xiao's character was, so he followed him silently.
When Liu Sheng left Priest Dawn's room, he already had a bound handwritten version of the divine book in his hand.
I didn’t expect Priest Dawn to have such good skills in binding books.
At the end, she asked Liu Sheng if he already had a soul number.
Liu Sheng replied: "If there is, it is called 'Earth Mother'."
"What?" Priest Dawn thought he didn't hear clearly.
"The land of the land, the mother of the mother." Liu Sheng explained seriously. The more he said it, the less awkward it seemed at first.
“Oh.” Priest Dawn did not make any comment on this. He just took out an embroidery needle with a cold expression and embroidered these two words on the lower left corner of the cover.
“Take it, this is your exclusive divine book.” Priest Dawn handed it to Liu Sheng.
The moment Liu Sheng came into contact with the divine book, the attribute panel popped up and almost hit Liu Sheng's face.
"Little assistant who knows how to test" also gave a cold and cheerful ding-dong sound.
"Congratulations! Candidate No. 39 Xuan, received the first prop "Sacred Book (hand-written version)"!"
"You are the first candidate to obtain a prop. Obtain skill reward: "Binding"
