Chapter 1320 Doubts
There is a saying that his honey is my arsenic.
The God who is so efficacious to you seems terrifying to me, and I just want to stay away from him.
In modern society, people know better than before how to respect ghosts and gods and keep away from them.
The era of worshiping spirits has really declined, and God Bayan is right to have a premonition that he will fall off the altar sooner or later.
It can take more than ten years, or it can take decades. It will happen sooner or later.
However, it seems that God Bayan has also looked away, and he seems to be able to look at the ending he is about to face calmly.
"I remember the year when I decided to become a god, it was the year when Lin Shuang Wenmeng vowed to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and killed Cheng Jun, a fellow acquaintance of Tamsui. That was when Emperor Qianlong was in power." Bayang Shen said, "I have witnessed the changes in the sea with my own eyes. For three or four generations, from birth to old age, no matter how the world changes, human life has always been the same. "
"Although the little gods have been around for a long time, they are like withered bones in the grave, becoming more and more stale, and they are increasingly confused about what people want nowadays. People nowadays also disrespect the gods less and less. They no longer regard them as Gods are not regarded as beliefs, but as helping them to do things.”
"If I help them, they will buy more tributes and burn more incense sticks for me next time as a token of their wish. They regard worshiping gods as a consensual transaction, and it is over when the transaction is over."
"If I don't help them, they won't bother to pray a second time, and they will even curse."
"In the past, people respected me even if they didn't believe me. But even if people believe me now, they don't respect me at all. Even my psychic has doubted me several times, doubting my existence and doubting my existence. Not an omnipotent god..."
"As a god, I become more and more humble and boring as I work. I have to be coveted by those evil spirits and have to deal with the conspiracies and schemes of other gods. It's really boring."
"Actually, I have long wanted to send away my current spiritual medium, help her to reincarnate, and then disperse her body and completely terminate myself. I would rather commit suicide than become the food of those evil spirits."
Having said this, God Bayan looked at Su Yi and said sincerely: "But I need a strong person to protect me, otherwise those evil spirits will rush up and eat me before I can kill myself."
This request from God Bayan was something Su Yi didn't even expect.
God Bayan actually wants to disappear completely and kill himself?
He wanted Su Yi to protect Him during this process, lest He could not even do this and be devoured by those evil heretics.
Su Yi thought for a while, but had no intention of persuading Bayang Shen to cheer up.
God Bayan just made it very clear that the reason why He wants to commit suicide is not only despair about the future, but also boredom and dissatisfaction with reality, and even doubts about his own existence.
The key is that Su Yi also thinks what he said makes sense. Unless Bayan God can break the mold and live a different attitude, it will just be like this now, just lingering on, which is really boring.
"When do you plan to disintegrate yourself?" Su Yi asked.
"Three days, three days from now." Bayan said, "In these three days, I want to help some believers fulfill their wishes, and I want my medium to deal with the aftermath. I have other things to deal with."
God Bayan suddenly knelt down to Su Yi, prostrated on the ground and said devoutly: "I beg the great God to protect my broken body and let me disappear in the heaven and earth. Don't let the evil spirits eat my body."
Su Yi felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart.
Desolation, vicissitudes of life, compassion, sadness...
He was about to witness the end of a sacrifice to a spirit, a little country god.
To live forever, what exactly does it mean to live forever?
Is immortality a kind of enjoyment or a kind of torture?
If even sacrificing to spirits cannot lead to immortality, then can immortals do it? Is it okay to take pictures?
"Okay, in three days, I will witness all this with my own eyes." Su Yi said solemnly.
"Thank you, God." God Bayan was a little pleased, but he also felt complicated and not so calm.
Obviously making such a decision was not easy for Him either.
"It won't be too late to consider my matter after the great god has finished handling the affairs of the Asantia family." Bayan said, "In fact, Willow also begged me before his death, hoping that I could help him solve the curse. At that time, he I haven’t married Noi yet.”
"But I didn't dare to get involved in the Asantia Textile Factory, so I didn't respond to him. Willow is a very talented and smart man, and he knows exactly how to impress me. At the beginning, he promised that if I help He, he built twelve temples for me in four towns and eight townships, and hired special temple worshipers to continue my incense. He also reported my name to the government as the folk culture of the entire Nantou County and passed it down from generation to generation... …”
Su Yi was surprised when he heard this: "Then Willow knows it very well."
Each of the conditions mentioned by Willow accurately touched the pulse of the spirit sacrifice, and each one just tickled the itch of Bayan God.
Being in a different place, Su Yi felt that if he were God Bayan, he would definitely be moved.
This is equivalent to giving hope to Bayan God to survive!
"You weren't tempted at that time?" Su Yi looked at Bayang Shen.
"How can you not be tempted?" God Bayan sighed, "But I can't fulfill his wish. I can't undo the curse of their family, and I don't dare to go to the Asantiya Textile Factory. I can only not Respond to him, otherwise I, Bayan God, would not have existed as early as that year.”
God Bayan is really sober in the world.
"Willow married Noi again after begging you?" Su Yi suddenly noticed something was wrong.
From what Bayan God said, it seems that this Willow is very smart, very courageous, and knows exactly what he wants.
Why would he marry a stupid woman like Nuoyi?
Because of love?
"Yes, this also makes me very unhappy." Bayan said, "But since then, Willow has thrown himself into the arms of the Western Church. He built a cathedral for the Western Church. But the Western Church cannot help him remove the curse, and the priests of the Church have never been to the Yasantia Textile Factory."
"Is Willow pious to the Western Church?" Su Yi asked.
"As far as I know, he is very pious." Bayan said.
"He is so pious, and he is the behind-the-scenes funder of the Church. There is no reason why his wife and daughter would fall to this point." Su Yi felt even more wrong, "Although Aning's situation is tricky, if she had been protected by the Western Church from beginning to end, her situation would definitely be much better."
Although Su Yi does not like the Western Church, it is undeniable that the Western Church still has some ability and can provide shelter for Nuoyi and her daughter.
Even if the priests of the Church do not have the determination to exorcise the demons, they can still protect the mother and daughter from being destroyed by the demons.
Even if the priests here cannot do it, they can send the mother and daughter to the cathedral and find more capable priests to help them. The foundation of the cathedral is there, and they will definitely not be helpless.
But the problem is that the mother and daughter have no intention of seeking help from the Church. It seems that apart from the relationship with her husband, their relationship with the Church is very subtle. Noi would rather go around the world to find other practitioners for help, rather than asking the Church for help.
Su Yi thought it was a trust issue before, and Noi and her daughter did not trust the Church.
But now thinking about it carefully, it may not be that simple.
If there is really another reason, then the truth of this matter may not be seen through by Su Yi...
Seeing Su Yi thoughtful, God Bayan did not interrupt, but contacted his medium Nim and issued his oracle.
God Bayan has already planned to disintegrate himself, so the oracle he gave to Nim is to let Nim face the deadline calmly and deal with the aftermath.
But in the process, Bayan God found that Aning had driven to find Nim, so he also ordered Nim to bring Aning to the temple to see him today.
After doing this, Su Yi seemed to come to his senses, and Bayan God told Su Yi about this.
"From Nim's home to here, the mountain road is rugged. I guess they may not set off until dawn." Bayan God said.
After all, they are mortals, and they have to consider the safety of the route. This road requires trekking through mountains and rivers, and can only be walked. It is impossible to walk when it is too dark.
Su Yi said: "I have to go out and check some things."
He felt that although Willow was dead, there were many doubts. He decided to go to the church sponsored by Willow to take a look.
"God, please." Bayan God said, "If Aning arrives first, I will let Nim take her to purify her heart and recite scriptures, and wait for you to return."
Su Yi nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared from the original place.
At the same time, more than ten kilometers away from Nim's residence
Nim woke up from her sleep and was shocked to find that she was already in tears!
She had a dream, a nightmare.
She dreamed that the respected Bayan God was calling her.
Bayan God told her that everything she had done for God in this life, it was time to be rewarded. Bayan God asked her to deal with all the things left in the world within three days, and then go to the temple and return to the arms of Bayan God.
She asked Bayan God: "Am I going to die?"
Bayan God told her that death is not the end, but the beginning of another life. Her practice in this life has won her a pure land of rebirth, which is a gift from Bayan God to her.
When she was about to ask again in panic why she was suddenly going to die when she was obviously healthy, Bayan God told her that your niece Aning is here, bring her to the temple.
After Bayan God said this, Nim woke up.
The dream was so clear and real that Nim could not doubt it, but she was very panicked and at a loss.
Anyone who is told that the deadline has come without any warning when they are healthy and young would be so panic-stricken.
The knock at the door interrupted Nim's thoughts. Nim thought of the last words of Bayan God, and hurriedly got out of bed, put on her shoes and went to open the door.
Sure enough, her niece Aning was standing outside the door.
To Nim's surprise, Aning looked very good.
Although Aning looked a little haggard, she was healthy.
Nim touched Aning's arm in disbelief, and her arm was warm, which showed that Aning's consciousness was pure now and was not disturbed by any dirty things.
This was incredible.
Nim was very shocked.
Not long ago, Aning was still troubled by evil spirits and could not get rid of them. Nim was also very distressed about this and didn't know what to do.
But now, Aning is fine?
Evil spirits will not retreat on their own, so what happened?
"Aunt, I want you to take me to see Bayan God." Aning explained the purpose of her visit directly.
Nim's heart was shaken.
"Does your mother agree with you doing this?" she asked.
Noi had been preventing Nim from getting close to Aning, thinking that Nim would seduce Aning to believe in the Bayan God.
So Aning had never worshipped the Bayan God, nor had he ever been to the Bayan God's temple.
"Where's your mother? Are you here alone?" Nim soon realized something was wrong.
Aning looked gloomy, and shook her head unwilling to say more: "Auntie, I just want to see the Bayan God."
"Come in first." Nim sighed, "No matter what, we have to wait until dawn. I'll get you something to eat first."
She invited Aning into the house, but couldn't help asking: "Aning, have you asked other magicians to exorcise the devil for you? I heard that your mother took you to Hong Kong Island. Has the magician in Hong Kong Island helped you? I think you are in good condition..."
"Really?" Aning was a little absent-minded, "Aunt, when are we leaving?"
"It will be dawn in half an hour, and we will leave then." Nim had to suppress her curiosity. She was also very upset about the "oracle" at the moment and had no mood to ask any more questions.
Half an hour later, Aning, who had barely eaten something, followed Nim into the mountains in the drizzle.
Both of them were confused and uneasy, and had no idea what kind of future was waiting for them on this trip.
On the other side, the Ren'ai Township Cathedral.
This is the largest church in Nantou County, with gorgeous decorations and towering buildings. It looks very magnificent from the outside.
People often recognize the "appearance", and sometimes just because of the grand decoration, it will affect the people's beliefs.
This church has developed well in recent years, with more and more believers.
Because of the cohesion of faith, although this church has only been built for a few years, it already has sacred power.
The arrival of Su Yi, the "evil heretic", immediately caused a fierce reaction from the church's guardian power!
The bell on the top of the church rang abruptly, and the cross facing the gate suddenly emitted a holy light, shining on Su Yi.
The hexagonal star array on the top of the church was activated, covering the entire building, and the air seemed to be filled with the sound of the choir singing.
Zizi, Zizi...
Su Yi's body was illuminated by the holy light and black smoke was coming out, but this only made him feel a little uncomfortable at most.
The church's array was like a decoration for Su Yi, useless. He walked into the array easily, looking around curiously, especially looking at the huge statue in front of him for a few more times.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the side door, and someone was awakened and hurried to check.
Su Yi did not look at the man, but stood in front of the statue and bowed.
Burn incense in a temple, worship Buddha in a temple.
Coming to someone else's territory, no matter how he likes and dislikes the Western Church, he still has to show due respect.
After doing all this, Su Yi's situation did not change at all.
Su Yi turned around, and his eyes finally fell on the man who hurried out to investigate the situation.
This was a foreigner in pajamas and disheveled clothes.
The foreigner was staring at Su Yi in amazement, his expression full of fear, and his whole body was shaking.
He dared not not to tremble, whether it was the appearance of Su Yi's jade skull or the arrogance of swaggering and treating the church's holy light array as nothing, he was extremely shocked.
This foreigner had never encountered such an outrageous thing in his life.
