Chapter 103 Roast Swan and Sparrow Pie
A simple weekend break may not have much market in the continent of Bratis, just like the original Christianity did not rely on Sundays to sweep the world.
However, when it is sublimated to the pursuit of a better life, it becomes the simplest instinct of human beings.
No matter when and where you are, what your skin color and identity are, what language you speak, as long as you are alive, no one does not hope that you can live a better life.
Christianity's idea of going to heaven after death, or Buddhism's so-called practice of escaping from reincarnation (however, not even eminent monks can do it, and most believers still hope to have a good pregnancy in the next life) are actually beliefs in a certain sense. I promise to live well.
Just like your boss pats you on the shoulder and tells you, Xiao Wang, do your best, 996 is a little bit harder now, but as long as you stick to it, you will definitely get a promotion and a salary increase in the future!
Although the behavior of painting a pie is not worthy of encouragement and promotion, under the circumstances of limited resources, having a pie will always be easier than not having a pie.
Especially considering that those churches at that time were in an era where productivity was generally low, everyone was hungry and full, and from time to time they encountered natural and man-made disasters.
For the people at the bottom, although their lives are miserable no matter whether they believe in God or Buddha, at least they have hope if they believe in them.
Life is like this, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too clear-headed and realize that you are being hammered.
However, Li Yu and his Shuangxiujiao were different.
They themselves represent the most advanced productivity, so there is no need to play false, just openly announce to believers that they can live a better life in this life.
And this is indeed the case. When the first batch of red brick houses are built and the crops planted are harvested, every lizard man will be able to personally experience the benefits of worshiping Saturday, and the faith in his heart will naturally become stronger.
This is also the second necessary factor that constitutes religion—religious emotions and experiences.
A religion that can continue to develop and grow can certainly inspire strong religious feelings among believers and form a certain ideological form.
This is also the reason why Li Yu made establishing the Kingdom of God on land the first mission of Shuangxiujiao.
First of all, this is of course out of missionary needs. Li Yu needs the lizard people to go out after living a good life, take the initiative to promote the benefits of believing in Saturday, and become the running water of the insect swarm.
Secondly, Li Yu also needs to closely unite people of all different races and places by giving believers a sense of sacred mission.
Just like a certain big brother who is no longer here.
This matter must be done, because there are many races on the continent of Bratis, humans, half-orcs, dwarfs, dwarves, elves...the relationships between them are complex, not to mention the long-standing relationships between different social classes and different regions. Various contradictions exist.
Even if they just focus on the green fields, the lizard people and ordinary people are incompatible with each other.
If Shuangxiu Education wants to develop and grow in the future, without a grand goal that is widely accepted by all parties to connect everyone and seek common ground while reserving differences, it will be difficult to truly unite and have sufficient organizational power.
In addition, external factors of religion include behaviors and activities.
For example, the weekend weekends that are unique to the religion, such as Li Yu’s previous communication about Saturday in front of Miss Rabbit and Jude, or the initiation ceremony he held for Hera, and the one he is currently playing for the Lizard People The “Kingdom of God” promotional videos all fall within this category.
In addition, Li Yu also plans to arrange several leisure and entertainment activities unique to the weekend sect, and introduce mindfulness meditation as the sect's spiritual practice (relaxation) method to enhance the ritual and mystery. However, there is no need to be too anxious about these, you can take your time in the future.
Finally, there is the organization and system of the Order.
For the time being, there is only one bare prophet in the Saturday cult, Li Yu. It was fine when he was leading four students before, but now with the addition of the lizard people, Li Yu is beginning to be unable to take care of him.
Just the various production and construction progress of the religious order on the ground is enough to keep him busy every time he comes, not to mention preaching doctrines and ideological construction among the lizard people.
But there is no way, these things are currently no one can do except him.
It would be useless even if Li Yu immediately set up a team to come out, so he would just make do with it for the time being.
Moreover, the low literacy rate among believers is also a problem. All of them, including him, the prophet, are illiterate.
Some lizardmen themselves may be peasant women living in the green fields. They were robbed into the swamps before. They can still speak common language, while more male lizardmen simply only speak the dialect among lizardmen.
Communication with outsiders basically relies on swords and axes.
Therefore, although the education issue is not imminent, it must be put on the agenda.
Li Yu dealt with all the things that had been accumulated during the two days of his absence, arranged the next production plan, and then explained the teachings to the lizard people.
Then he rode towards Teacup Castle.
Li Yu originally said that he planned to ride a bicycle from now on to exercise, but on his first day here, the bicycle wheel was picked up by the lizard people.
Although it was returned later, one of the tires burst, and another wheel was smashed and deformed. It must have been used as a shield by the previous owner to block heavy weapons.
Then the windmill was not saved, and the people were gone. Li Yu had no one to hold him accountable even if he wanted to.
In addition, the land he acquired was moved from the place near Teacup Castle to the westernmost swamp. The distance became much farther. Li Yu probably didn't have to do anything anymore if he pedaled his bicycle back and forth. He could get off work just by pedaling back and forth. Son.
So I simply didn’t even bring the rear parts, reassembled two wheels, and left it to ride in the original universe.
Nowadays, transportation is still relying on horses.
After riding for a while, I basically got used to it. Except for a little bump on my butt and rubbing on my inner thighs, everything else was fine.
But by the time he arrived, the party had already begun.
The guards guarding the gate were all familiar with Li Yu now, and no one stopped him when he entered the castle.
Li Yu rode to the open space in front of the stone castle in one breath. It was quite lively here, with several long tables set up to entertain the entourage of the nobles, and some people were playing the piano and singing.
Li Yu dismounted, and immediately a servant came forward to take the reins. Li Yu thanked him and walked straight through the crowd to the second floor.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a female voice chattering, "These dishes are too ordinary. Last time my uncle held a banquet, one dish was cooked with beaver tails. It is said that a hundred beaver tails were used to make it." into...
"Oh, by the way, there is also my sister. On the day she got married, one of the dishes was roasted swan, and the swan could open its mouth and spit out flames. It was so beautiful."
Then she looked at the drowsy royal family members beside her and said sweetly, "Sir Leo, I heard that the royal family said that sparrow pie is very famous. After cutting the pie, there are still live sparrows hidden inside. They will fly out together, and the room is full of people, chirping, is this true? "(End of Chapter)
