Chapter 198 Approaching the Gods (Twenty)
“It doesn’t matter, you say it.” The high priest reluctantly cheered up, “There are only three priests in our temple. I am already old and the Dawn Priest doesn’t like me. Walking around outside, the important task of promoting our temple ultimately depends on you.”
“So don’t ask for any unkind invitations, as long as they are related to preaching, you should be satisfied.”
Now the great priest has a very good impression of Liu Sheng. As soon as Liu Sheng came, he suppressed their performance over the past many years. Sure enough, young people are still needed.
Maybe it won’t be long before he can really enter a state of retirement...
If Liu Sheng knew what the great priest was thinking, his fists would definitely be hardened.
You don’t even have any performance!
Moreover, aren’t you taking care of yourself now?
However, Liu Sheng didn't know that. When he heard what the great priest said, he immediately continued: "Speaking of the fact that there are only three priests, what the official said is related to this matter."
“I was wondering, can we develop new priests? After all, our strength is weak, and we still need more devout believers to join our missionary team and become our effective force!”
"How is it? But is there a suitable candidate?" The great priest really became energetic this time.
"Exactly, today Xiaguan came into contact with a believer. She expressed her strong desire to spread the teachings of the gods, hoping to join our temple and become a priest who can speak for the gods."
"How is this person...?" The high priest was very curious. It was really strange that someone would want to preach for God after just contacting him today. However, this is enough to illustrate the young priest's preaching ability, which makes people feel like old friends at first sight.
Liu Sheng lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "This person is Song, a villager in Liantang Village. His name is Yanran. He is twenty-three years old. Since her husband fell ill and died unfortunately, she has raised a daughter alone. It is really rare to have a pure and kind nature, and to be resilient despite living a solitary life. "
"It sounds like she is a resolute and virtuous woman. However, becoming a priest is not enough. She also needs to have enough understanding and knowledge of the gods. Priestess of the Earth, do you think this woman is good? Are you worthy of such a great responsibility?" the great priest asked Liu Sheng.
"The official is thinking, since she has expressed such yearning and has faith, it is better to let her give it a try... What's more, we need more priests to carry forward our god's faith."
This The last sentence really hit the mark, and the high priest began to think deeply.
Liu Sheng knew there was something going on when he saw the high priest's expression, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "As for the study of theology that the high priest is worried about, Song Yanran is literate and has now made up her mind to learn the sacred books. The official is willing to help her. As a guarantor, I will teach him by words and deeds, and help him learn the sacred books. Early learning will help our temple spread the faith.”
With such repeated increases, the high priest cannot refuse.
You know, the so-called temple arranging new priests to come here to train is just a reasonable identity assigned to them by this illusion.
Even in Liu Sheng's guess, this temple, the Great Priest, and the Dawn Priest all existed because of this illusion, because in real history, she remembered that there was no relevant existence.
As for why such an arrangement was made, Liu Sheng didn’t know.
But Liu Sheng knew clearly that it would definitely not work with just the three of them. In fact, the so-called missionary work should also include the hidden task of developing priests.
Recalling that just now in Liantang Village, it was Widow Song who first proposed to become a priest and walk the world as a god like her.
After saying this, Liu Sheng's thinking instantly broadened: Since we are going to build a "faith" distribution model, of course we need more priests.
But Liu Sheng still wanted to confirm what Widow Song thought.
So, when Liu Sheng asked her why she wanted to be a priest, Widow Song replied, because she wanted power.
“I don’t want to be such a helpless and weak woman waiting for help. I want to protect myself and Xiaoya.” When Widow Song said this, her face was full of expressions that did not match her appearance. of perseverance.
This reason is very reasonable.
Liu Sheng then asked her a few more questions and learned that her full name was Song Yanran. Because she was once a rich woman in trouble, she was literate and had read a lot of books.
From this point of view, Song Yanran had a good character and had the foundation to study divine books, so she decided to recommend her to the great priest.
Sure enough, the great priest agreed after some thought.
"Okay, since you recommend it so, I will ask Mr. Song to come to the temple to see me tomorrow. If you are destined to be with the Supreme God, you can stay here to study as a trainee. After passing the exam, you can naturally become a formal official. Going out to preach."
"Thank you, great priest!" Liu Sheng smiled lightly.
"However, this is a special period and special treatment. If it were in the past, you should have been trained in the temple before you could serve as a trainee priest..." The high priest sighed and mentioned helplessly. "Yes, there are strange things happening all over the place now, and the cold night is coming. It is the time when the Supreme God needs to come." Liu Sheng was very cooperative, but also full of worry.
“That’s right.” The great priest stroked his beard and admired Liu Sheng’s awareness.
“However,” she changed the subject and asked tentatively, “If Song Yanran really has potential, wouldn’t it be better to send her to the temple for training? Wouldn’t she get twice the result with half the effort in the future?”
The great priest again Sighed: "If you can give it away, of course that would be great. It's just..."
Then it got stuck again.
[Oops, another bug dropped. 】
Liu Sheng lamented in his heart.
[It seems that this question, like the historical question, is a taboo in their procedures. 】
【This should be a regional issue. 】
【You can probably imagine the reason why it cannot be sent, right? 】
[Of course, you are not the only smart person. 】
【Please note that our IQs are the same. 】
[Wait, he’s gone...]
At this time, the great priest jumped directly to the process of distributing the rewards, got up and left the temple, probably going back. Go to sleep.
Liu Sheng was a little helpless at this crude design, and quickly caught up and gave the sweet potato in his hand to the great priest.
[I almost didn’t have time to show my respect to the great priest. 】
【Fortunately, I caught up, although he didn't respond. 】
【Let’s go too. 】
【Exactly, there are still a lot of things to do tonight. 】
【Another sleepless night! 】
When the great priest returned to his room, he looked at the two extra sweet potatoes in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned. Where did these come from?
That’s weird!
......
"What is she going to do? Isn't she going to sleep?"
Xueshi Yan has been paying attention to Liu Sheng, and saw that she did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but It was strange to go to the small study room where I woke up in the morning.
"Next, there are a lot of tough battles to be fought, how can you not sleep?" Li Shangshu felt incredible.
"Yes, and look at her, she started copying books again..." Hanshan Jun said helplessly, "She also took out the boiled peanuts that she had left just now, peeling them and copying them... I saw that I want to eat it too.”
“It’s quite satisfying,” Mei Yuanzheng commented.
After everyone watched and read the book "one night", they finally couldn't help but ask: "Mei Yuanzheng, how can this be considered wanton? What exactly is considered wanton?"
< br>Mei Yuanzheng: "..."
"She works harder than I did when I was in school." Ling Fu, the well-known scholar in the Tang Dynasty, concluded.
