Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 920 - 167: How Do You Know We Havenโt Tried
"If we talk about these four colors, it reminds me of a person." ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ฒ๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐ผ๐บ
Qiao Hongyi glanced at his watch and raised his beer bottle, saying to Raffey, "This story starts fifty years ago. Although youโre familiar with our nationโs history, the historical changes in the last fifty years have developed so quickly that many events havenโt been recorded in the historical books."
"At that time, the gates of the Former Dynasty were just opened, accompanied by the shattering of the Dreamland of the Heavenly Dynasty and the invasion of Western culture. People within the country were living in a dire situation."
"Everyone has a mindset of admiring the strong; the Western missionaries propagated the gospel relying on powerful ships and cannons. Those who admire strength naturally chose to rely on them. They didnโt really care what Jesus Christ said; they just wanted to find a sufficiently strong leg to hold onto."
"But among this group, there was a fallen scholar who truly understood the teachings of the Western religion, assimilating them and transforming them into an ideology that the locals could easily comprehend."
"Later, he relied on half a Bible to create his own sect, leading his followers in the largest rebellion in a century."
Raffey was shocked and said, "Are you referring to the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly King Divine Sect who almost took half of the Jianghu World and governed by dividing the rivers with the Former Dynasty?"
"Thatโs right."
Qiao Hongyi nodded, "This Sect Hierarch called himself the brother of Jesus Christ, claimed to be the second Son sent by God to the Mortal World to spread the gospel, and even gained recognition from the Orthodox Church... Of course, to you, this might just seem like a joke."
This joke wasnโt funny at all.
Initially, the Church chose to acknowledge the Sect Hierarchโs identity, possibly due to various considerations. For instance, missionary work didnโt fit well locally, requiring a local figure to rally the gentry and appease the people... After the Church stabilized its footing, they could find a random excuse to send him to meet God and posthumously grant him the title of Saint, making everyone happy.
But no one anticipated that the Sect Hierarch would exhibit strength far beyond the Churchโs expectations.
Whether his ideological theory or his vast territory and millions of soldiers, they completely detached from the Churchโs control.
For this kind of heretical belief that strayed from their control but couldnโt be dealt with, the Churchโs standard approach in the past was to ignore it, pretending nothing happened.
Who would have thought that this boomerang would fly back fifty years later, harshly hitting some peopleโs faces?
They were entirely unaware, or perhaps didnโt care at all, whether such a person existed on the land of Ming Country, nor had they ever considered that the ritual to summon Jesusโs birth would be guided by certain factors towards a different result.
Did Jesus know he had such a brother?
If someone was about to take his life, what then...
Raffey was already speechless from shock, but after a brief silence, he still inquired, "What do the four colors purple, white, gold, and green symbolize?"
"Back then, beside the Sect Hierarch, there were the Four Great Guardian Venerable Kings, each named after one of the colors: purple, white, gold, and green. The white one was one of the most powerful experts in the Jianghu World at that time; the green Venerable King hailed from the Demon Clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains. The purple Venerable King was rumored to be a descendant of the Nine Li people, while the gold Venerable King... You might not believe it, but he was a British."
"A British?"
"Thatโs right; after coming to Ming Country, he was captivated by the Sect Hierarchโs charisma. He willingly stayed to help the Heavenly King Divine Sect train a modern Foreign Gun Squad, becoming the most elite force within the sect."
"Perhaps in your view, the so-called Heavenly King Divine Sect was merely a heretical cult that distorted the gospel to brainwash the masses; its ability to expand the rebellion to such a scale was merely due to the Former Dynastyโs bureaucrats being too corrupt and incompetent... But actually, their ideological theory was quite advanced, and they were unwilling to collude with the Westerners throughout."
Qiao Hongyi sighed, "Itโs precisely because they refused to cooperate with the foreigners that the foreignersโ interests in China suffered losses. It forced the foreigners to turn and collaborate with the Imperial Court, offering various support to help the Imperial Court suppress this rebellion."
"After this grand rebellion ended, most of the sect followers died on this land for their envisioned โHeaven.โ But a part of the remaining troops, seeing no hope in their great cause, chose to leave their homeland and seek a livelihood overseas."
"These scattered remnants across North and South America were later gathered to form part of todayโs Four Seas Commerce Guild."
"You only care about the trade Ms. Li Ya made with Mephisto, seemingly ignoring her fatherโs identity. This arrogant attitude is the main reason for the issues with the birth ritual."
"Since the British Fleet bombarded the Humen forts, it has been sixty years now. Weโve seen generations fall, using every means to find a way to save this country."
"How could you think we havenโt tried believing in God?"
The so-called Ritual Magic is essentially about fulfilling certain preconditions to manifest ancient legends in the Real World.
For example, to seize a cup, one might use an ancient snakeskin to summon an ancient show-off who died from snakebite.
The ritual to summon Jesusโs birth also needs to fulfill similar conditions.
Whether the mother is a virgin isnโt important; such tales only fooled the ancient people; nobody believes it nowadays.
What matters is that December 25th is a special time, foretold by the blessing of the Eastโs Three Sages, prophecized by the Angels, marking the kingโs wrath upon a local infant, who defies danger to reveal his exceptional nature...
If there was such a person, styling his hair in a middle part, wearing suspenders, fond of singing, dancing, and playing basketball, his identity would naturally emerge.
Thatโs right, heโs the international superstar, Jay Chou!
Adding even one more predetermined element could lead to a different outcome.
Mu Yuming walked to the registration desk, took the registration form, and was about to fill in the newbornโs name when certain memories, almost forgotten, flashed through his mind.
It was in a bar in Cypher.
That day, after getting the examination report of Li Yaโs second pregnancy from the hospital, he felt joyous, entered the bar, and ordered a cocktail to celebrate and indulge a bit.
The bartenderโs hand was very fair, fingers long and slender.
But he couldnโt recall the bartenderโs appearance.
"What are you happy about?"
The bartenderโs voice was low and elegant, like a song from a jukebox.
"Iโm going to have a second child."
"Congratulations, congratulations, that indeed deserves a drink."
"Any good suggestions?"
"I can specially mix a โQuartetโ for you, as a blessing for the new life."
Colorful liquid slowly poured into the cup.
"Gold symbolizes nobility, wishing her a noble character that shines brightly."
"Purple symbolizes dreams, wishing her a beautiful soul, feeling love and being loved."
"White symbolizes years, hoping she remains true to herself as time passes."
"Lastly, green... After the rain, clear skies, the familiar sky. Green crops, the familiar land."
"In the end, we all return home like falling leaves."
