Chapter 181 I Am Lin Xinchen (1/2)

"I've met Priest Lin."

"Good morning, Priest Lin."

On Li Yan's way to the Moon Temple, the people he met along the way greeted Li Yan enthusiastically.

Li Yan just smiled and nodded.

After all, he didn't know most of these people.

It was also because these people were not important in Lin Xinchen's heart, so he did not introduce them specially.

In this case, Li Yan does not intend to know more about them.

Among dozens of people, Li Yan recognized only one person based on his characteristics.

This person's name is Shang Shang. He is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a golden uniform. He is one of the best businessmen in the new Christian city. Even in the main city of the religious domain, he has some connections.

The two have known each other for many years, and Lin Xincheng protected his property from being threatened by other forces in Xincheng.

The reward he has to pay is to become one of Lin Xinchen's tentacles extending to the outside world, helping Lin Xinchen purchase more precious cultivation materials from the outside world.

"I have already bought the second-grade elixir [Golden Stone Pill] you want. Look, when will you come to my house as a guest? I have recently found a few girls with good singing voices, just for you to taste."

When Li Yan passed by Shang Shang, Shang Shang whispered to Li Yan.

Many people know that Lin Xinchen likes girls with nice voices.

If something is good from above, it will be followed by everyone below.

Therefore, many people who want to get to know Lin Xinchen will use this as a breakthrough to approach and please Lin Xinchen.

Even people who have a relationship with Lin Xinchen will use this trick to stabilize their relationship.

Regarding Shang Shang's invitation, Li Yan thought for a while and replied in Lin Xinchen's tone: "I will go there tonight."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan patted the other party's shoulder.

Shang Shang, who was a head taller than Lin Xinchen, quickly bent down to receive it, still with a flattering look on his face.

When Lin Xinchen walked away, he straightened up and looked around, seeing the envious eyes of the people around him as usual.

Many people gathered around him, flattering him and carefully asking about Lin Xinchen's other preferences.

All this made Shang Shang very proud and satisfied.

After leaving Shangshang, Li Yan quickly arrived at the gate of the Moon Temple.

As the face and representative of the Moon God Sect, the Moon Temple is naturally built with great style.

The Moon Temple in the New Adventist City is said to be a temple, but it is actually a complex of buildings covering an area of ​​dozens of acres.

After all, the Moon God Sect has regulations that even the Moon Temple in a small religious city must meet the requirements of tens of thousands of people worshiping the Moon God together.

The gate of the Temple of the Moon is a silver-white circular gate, and there is a circular gate of the same type that is twice the size on both sides.

The large circular door is nearly two feet in diameter and can allow more than ten people to enter at one time.

The small one is only one foot in diameter and can accommodate up to four or five people at a time.

The big door is used to welcome Moon God believers, which means anyone can walk through.

The two smaller ones have other uses. For example, now they are used to give food to the poor.

There is a door for people to enter and a door for people to come out. Everything is in order.

When Li Yan appeared in a crescent priest robe, the Moon God believers who were lining up to receive the food greeted Li Yan enthusiastically.

His hands even made a gesture of gratitude to the Moon God.

Li Yan naturally wanted to return the gift. This was a matter of faith.

Even if the leader of the Moon God Sect comes here, he must return the gift, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Moon God.

After returning the gift, one has to say, "God of the Moon, thank you for your kindness and giving us such delicious food."

This sentence means different things at different times.

Now that they are receiving relief food, they need to thank the moon god for giving them food.

If this is a festival, we should thank the moon god for dividing the heavens and giving the world four distinct seasons.

Anyway, as long as everything is done to praise the moon god, it is the most basic professional quality of the priest.

After dealing with these believers, Li Yan walked into the Moon Temple.

The first thing I saw were two rows of screens, covering the believers who were receiving relief food.

Then there is the main hall of the Moon Temple, the Moon Palace.

The Wangyue Palace is more than five feet high and covers an area of ​​three acres. At a glance, it can give people a great visual impact.

Entering the Wangyue Hall, a moon god more than three feet tall appeared in front of Li Yan.

The appearance of the Moon God is that of a woman, with a bright moon appearing behind her head, and her beady face carrying an expression of compassion for all living beings.

When Li Yan entered the Wangyue Hall, many people were already kneeling on the ground, praying to the Moon God.

What they were whispering softly was the "Moon God's Salvation Sutra" passed down by the Moon God Sect. The first part introduced the moon god's salvation deeds, and the second part was all about praising the moon god.

According to the Moon God Sect, when a person recites the "Moon God Salvation Sutra" ten thousand times, he can enter the Moon God Kingdom after death.

The Kingdom of the Moon God described by the Moon God Cult is filled with all the beautiful things in human imagination, where there is no pain, no hunger, no death, only happiness and joy.

Even if you don't want to stay in the Kingdom of the Moon God, you can go down to earth and reincarnate into a wealthy family.

It is precisely because of the influence of this statement that although the gap between rich and poor is very large in Otsuki Kingdom, it often happens that the rich oppress the poor.

However, for thousands of years, civilian rebellions have rarely occurred.

Because common people firmly believe that after death, they can enter the Kingdom of the Moon God, then descend to earth and be reincarnated, and enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of their lives.

At the same time, according to this statement, suicides in Otsuki are very rare.

The Big Moon Sect does not propagate that suicide cannot enter the Kingdom of the Moon God, but because if you commit suicide, wouldn't you be able to complete the task of reciting the "Moon God's Salvation Sutra" ten thousand times?

This "Moon God Salvation Sutra" is only effective when recited for the first time in a day, and it must be started after reaching adulthood.

In the Otsuki Kingdom, one is an adult at the age of eighteen.

In other words, it would take at least fifty years for a person from the Moon Kingdom to complete the goal of entering the Kingdom of the Moon God after death.

And based on the living standards of Dayue Kingdom, ordinary people can only live for fifty or sixty years without spiritual practice.

Almost right before his death, he barely finished reciting the "Moon God's Salvation Sutra" ten thousand times.

If there are Dayue people who are engaged in the funeral industry, they will definitely be used to seeing poor old people who die with a smile on their faces.

After someone recited the "Moon God of Salvation Scripture" devoutly, he carefully took out seven copper coins from the lining of his jacket that he had mended several times. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and stuffed them in front of the statue of the Moon God. In a huge merit box.

Seven cents, for the lower class, is already one-third of a day's wages.

The moon god created the world in seven days, and seven in numbers symbolizes the moon god. Therefore, if seven copper coins are not invested only once, it is not considered an effective donation.

There is no one in the Moon God Temple to supervise this kind of thing. It depends purely on self-consciousness and the supervision of other Moon God believers.

And as long as it is discovered once, it will be judged as cheating and blaspheming the moon god, which is a serious crime that requires being burned on the rack.

Therefore, even if people have no money to donate, they will not donate less on purpose.

Of course, only the poor will donate seven cents, and the rich will donate seven cents each time.

Those who are richer can only get seven taels of silver each time.

This is also the maximum amount for daily donation in a small church city, not counting holidays.

Li Yan left after watching the Moon Palace for a while.

His office is in a wing behind Wangyue Hall.

"Priest Lin, good morning, Moon Goddess."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });

In front of a moon gate inside the Moon Temple, two guards saluted Li Yan.

"Moon above."

Li Yan returned the greeting, and then walked in under the gaze of the two people.

This is the inner perimeter of the Moon Temple, where the priests and attendants of the Moon Temple live, work and move.

It is a place where idlers are not allowed to enter, so there are guards guarding the entrance.

The outer area of ​​the Moon Temple occupies two-thirds of the entire Moon Temple area, while the inner area only accounts for one-third.

Most of the first-class and second-class Moon God attendants will live in the inner circle.

Because they have no money to buy a house in the Moon Temple Construction Circle.

Only by finding your own way of making money over time can you gradually accumulate enough money.

Except for the most devout believers, most people will move away from the Moon Temple and buy a house of their own in the Moon Temple construction circle after they have enough money.

The reason is very simple. Human activities are not allowed in the Temple of the Moon. Once discovered, being burned at the stake will be light.

The Moon God Sect does not prohibit marriage, so whether it is to satisfy their own desires or to carry on the family lineage, they will move out if they have the opportunity.

After entering the inner circle, Li Yan began to cheer up.

You know, there are many people here who are very familiar with Lin Xinchen.

No, as soon as I came in, I met an acquaintance of Lin Xinchen.

"Xinchen, morning."

Li Yan followed the voice and saw a tall, beautiful, and gentle beauty saying hello to him.

In an instant, Li Yan realized the person's name and origin.

Tang Querou, one of the three New Moon Priests of the Moon Temple, is an acquaintance who was promoted to priests in the same group as Lin Xinchen. They have a good relationship and often have dinner and chat together.

"Morning, Querou."

"Why are you here so early today? You're not usually on time."

In Li Yan's mind, Tang Querou's information surged crazily, and he translated this information into what Lin Xincheng might say in such a situation.

Hearing a familiar voice, seeing a familiar face, and not having any vigilance in her heart, she completely failed to notice that the person in front of her was a fake.

Instead, just like he treated the original Lin Xinchen, he said to Li Yan with a somewhat complaining tone: "Do you think I want to come to the temple so early? The injured soldiers on the front line have returned, and I am going to bring them the blessings of the Moon God. , That’s why I came so early. After all, there are a lot of people, so many things need to be prepared in advance.”

"Blessing from the Moon God, what the hell?"

This was the first time Li Yan heard this term, but he was not panicked.

He didn't know how to continue the topic, so he just changed the topic and left.

"You've worked so hard. You should prepare well. I won't bother you anymore."

"When you're done, I'll invite you to Baiyue Restaurant to drink Emperor's juice and eat mooncakes."

Hearing Li Yan's words, Tang Querou's face, which was originally a little emotional, suddenly bloomed into a happy smile: "You said it, you can't be shameless."

Li Yan shrugged and responded: "Of course not, you know that I, Lin Xincheng, have never regretted what I promised."

"Okay, wait for me for two days. Tomorrow night, we will meet at Baiyue Restaurant."

After saying that, Tang Querou waved to Li Yan and left.

Li Yan watched the other party walk away before continuing to move forward.

Along the way, he was memorizing the route and looking for Lin Xinchen's office.

Because this is the inner circle of the Moon God Temple, Li Yan met many Moon God attendants on the way.

When they saw Li Yan, they greeted and saluted one after another. At this time, Li Yan just needed to nod in response.

After walking around the inner circle for most of the time, Li Yan finally found his destination - [General Manager of the Silver Wolf Camp Military Appointment Office].

This is the sign of the destination.

There were two guards standing at the door. They were not from the Moon God Temple, but knights sent by the Silver Wolf Camp, with peak cultivation.

"Hello, Lord Priest."

After seeing Li Yan, the two of them quickly saluted the Great Moon Army.

Li Yan nodded, replied: "Yes", and went straight into the [General Manager of the Silver Wolf Camp Military Appointment Office].

At this time, there were already several people working here, all of whom were Lin Xinchen's subordinates, and now Li Yan's subordinates.

"Hello, Priest Lin."

Li Yan's arrival made them stand up and salute one after another.

The salute they performed was a special etiquette of the Moon God Temple, which was required when subordinates met their superiors.

He nodded as usual and said "hmm".

Lin Xinchen had dealt with it this way before.

Among the few people, Li Yan also saw Yan Manzhong, who was tortured by Lin Xinchen yesterday and looked embarrassed, but today he looked as if nothing had happened.

Even the wounds he had knocked out were no longer visible at this time.

However, this is normal. As a peak warrior in the Yunzang realm, Yan Manzhong can recover from a small wound in one night as long as he is willing to nourish it with blood and qi, or use good healing pills.

Feeling Li Yan's gaze on his face, Yan Manzhong's mouth twitched.

Li Yan ignored him and walked straight to his office, which made Yan Manzhong, whose heartbeat was a little faster, put his heart back in his stomach.

Arriving at his office, Li Yan first familiarized himself with the environment here, and then began to look through various materials and files in the office.

Among them, including but not limited to the list and basic personal information of all soldiers and knights of the Silver Wolf Camp.

It can be said that if Li Yan handed this thing to the Great Zhou Kingdom at this time, as long as the Silver Wolf Camp went to the battlefield, it would definitely be defeated.

This is equivalent to directly destroying a 10,000-man regiment of the Great Yue Kingdom. It will not play a decisive role in the battle between the two countries, but it can hit the morale of the Great Yue army.

If it happens a few more times, the quantitative change will sooner or later lead to a qualitative change.

Of course, Li Yan does not have this idea now, but it is hard to say in the future.

After writing down these important things, Li Yan began to look through all other books and stationery with text.

He wanted to understand and master more and more detailed information about the Moon God Temple and the Silver Wolf Camp as soon as possible, so that he could maintain the identity of Lin Xinchen.

In a book inside the Moon God Church, Li Yan saw the words [Blessing of the Moon God], which aroused Li Yan's interest and he quickly read it.

After reading it, Li Yan understood what [Blessing of the Moon God] meant.

As a sect, the Moon God Church naturally had to show its skills from time to time in order to consolidate the people's faith in the Moon God.

The method chosen by the Moon God Cult was to use the name of the Moon God to perform magic in front of the people.

Some of the magic arts with enhanced properties were called [Blessings of the Moon God].

The so-called magic arts were of course not real magic arts. In fact, they were the degraded versions of the magic arts developed by the Moon God Cult, which could be used by innate warriors.

Of course, not all Moon God priests knew these magic arts. Only those who met the requirements and had practiced the Moon God Cult's fundamental innate skills - [Bright Moon Skill] could do so.

Lin Xinchen did not meet the requirements, so he did not learn these magic arts.

Tang Querou was sent to comfort the injured soldiers, so she naturally learned these magic arts.

In this way, Li Yan spent three days getting familiar with the new Lin Xinchen, and finally showed him to everyone.

This first step was the most difficult, and Li Yan had already passed it. After that, as long as Li Yan did not commit suicide, no one would doubt whether Lin Xinchen was real or fake.

On a new day, Li Yan came to the [Military Appointment Office of the General Manager of the Silver Wolf Camp] in the Moon God Temple as usual.

Then, Li Yan was approached by Yan Manzhong, who looked anxious, and told him a piece of news that concerned him.

"Something happened at Huichunlou, and our transaction seemed to have been discovered."
