Embers Ad Infinitum - Chapter 252
      After Li Zhe, wearing a flaming red robe, described the feeling of bathing in the “breath of the gods”, he looked at the two visitors in front of him and asked:
      ”What do you do?”
      Behind him, on the altar representing the gods, depicted An iron-black furnace with a red door.
      This is the sacred symbol of their sect, and a symbol of the “scorching door” of the old age.
      Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao, asked him to take out the letter written by Mins, and then introduced himself:
      ”We are foreign relic hunters. On the way, I met Mins from Shifang Trading Company and the others. Being attacked by the’Mountain Fox’ bandit, helped them get out of their predicament.
      ”This is a letter he wrote to you. “When
      Li Zhe suddenly realized, his body twitched like a scald, and he jumped out of that brief dance.
      ”May the breath of the gods bathe them.” “At the end of the dance, he gave a blessing.
      Then, he performed a tapping dance like an impromptu performance, and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao:
      ”Dance for you.” “
      Suppliers see Yao imitate his action earlier, he responded:
      ” May the gods of interest also bathe you. “
      Li Zhe froze for a moment:
      ” Man you are sects? “
      I think so, but I haven’t got your permission yet.” Shang Jian Yao answered frankly.
      ”Huh?” “Li Zhe didn’t understand the meaning of these words.
      Jiang Baimian had already taken it off and reminded him:
      ”You read the letter first. “
      ” Good. Li Zhe unfolded the letter, and started reading the content written in familiar handwriting.
      After reading it, he smiled and said to Shang Jianyao:
      ”So you also respect the old age and want to join our sect.”
      ”Yes, yes.” Shang Jianyao responded without hesitation.
      Li Zhe restrained his expression and asked seriously:
      ”I ask you formally, are you sure you want to join our’forge sect’? Although our rules are not too many, it also means that you will abide by some things and can no longer be as unrestrained as before. “
      Shang Jianyao was silent for a while, and then asked:
      ”Will this affect me to save all mankind?”
      ”Ah?” Li Zhe couldn’t keep up with Shang Jianyao’s thinking again, and Jiang Baimian did not help explain.
      The “devotee” hesitated for a while and said:
      ”It shouldn’t be…”
      Anyway, there is no provision in the sacred scriptures of the religious sect that prohibits believers from saving the world.
      In the sacred scriptures, this part of the content is reserved for the executives, especially the “scorching door”.
      Shang Jianyao asked,
      ”Will that affect my investigation of the cause of the destruction of the old world?”
      Li Zhe sweats more on his forehead:
      ”Theoretically not. We will not interfere with the work of believers, even if you are a robber, as long as If you don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, you can also believe in the’scorching door’.” While
      speaking, Li Zhe came up with an idea:
      Who is this?
      Joining the sect and becoming a clergyman for so many years, this is the first time he encountered this kind of indescribable strange problem in this link.
      Before, when he felt most helpless was when he was asked, “Votees, do you join the sect to take care of food? A devotee, does the sect send a daughter-in-law (husband)? A devotee, do you have to be cremated after death to meet the doctrine? Is the dance good enough to get the blessing of the old age?”
      After listening to his answer, Shang       Jianyao nodded:
      ”I have no questions, I am sure to join.”
Li Zhe breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
      At this time, Jiang Baimian asked curiously:
      ”I heard that belief in the same old man is often due to differences in missionary areas, lack of contact with each other, differences in the mainstream cultural characteristics of the corresponding places, and interpretations of oracles. Wait for the problem to develop into several sects.
      ”Is there such a situation in the group that worships the’scorching gate’? “
      Li Zhe heard this, slowly sighed and said:
      ” There is, and was originally a. “
      Then why did it split?” Jiang Baimian asked.
      On the one hand, she was interested in it, and on the other hand, she showed Shang Jianyao about the possible problems of joining the sect.
      Li Zhe said solemnly,
      ”They have a deviation in their understanding of the teachings of old age.”
      ”We think that the focus is on’scorching heat’ and’flame’, which constitutes the concept of’melting pot’, and then extends’dance’ and’hot pot’. In our sect, August is the sacred season, and the heat of August is Another breath of the gods.
      ”They think that’dance’ is more important than’flame’, and it is a more pleasing way to be old.
      ”Moreover, they also accused us of deviating from the right way.”
      Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
      ”How did we deviate?”
      ”They think that it is necessary to use flames to directly process food to show their devotion. The hot pot separated by a vessel is a second-class choice. It cannot be used as a sacrament. It is a hypocrisy!” Li Zhe said, becoming a little excited, and he wanted to fight. Explode heretical dog heads and maintain the righteous appearance of the hot pot.
      Jiang Baimian’s expression was a little weird:
      ”So, what is their sacrament?”
      ”It’s barbecue.” Li Zhe controlled his emotions and replied.
      Although Jiang Baimian had expected it, he still couldn’t help twitching his lower facial muscles.
      This disagreement really made her imagine that she couldn’t.
      In “Pangu Bio”, from time to time, employees of the “Security Department” get back a few old-world computers. Some of the data on them can be restored, and some cannot.
      Jiang Baimian once read such recovered materials, and felt ridiculous about some of the things recorded in it, saying that he couldn’t understand it.
      This includes disputes between the Sweet Bean Curd Party, the Salted Bean Curd Party and the Spicy Bean Curd Party.
      She originally thought that this might just be some jokes on the old world network, who knows, today, in the real world, she actually encountered a living example!
      After hesitating for a while, she asked with interest:
      ”So, can your sects eat barbecue?”
      ”It’s okay , but try not to.” Li Zhe politely expressed his attitude, “I know, in the wild, barbecue is possible. It is the most convenient way to deal with ingredients, so don’t insist on the choice when taking risks.”
      Hearing this, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao and found that he seemed to hesitate.
      Jiang Baimian chuckled secretly, and then asked,
      ”What is the name of that sect? Can their followers eat hot pot?”
      ”They are called’Frenzy Dance’. According to the doctrine, it is not that there is no other choice to eat hot pot.” Li Zhe was unwilling to talk about the heretics. He looked at Shang Jian Yao and said, “You will not leave Tarnan recently. Right?”
      ”Not for at least a week.” Jiang Baimian responded instead of Shang Jianyao.
      Li Zhe said, “In
      three days, at two o’clock in the afternoon, we will have a baptism ceremony. If you come to participate, you will be officially a member of the sect.
      ”Haha, remember, two o’clock in the afternoon is the holy time of the sect. Try to arrange daily prayers during this time period.
      ”Our ordinary mass ceremony has no time limit. The mass and baptism ceremony can only be between two and three in the afternoon.”
      ”What is the baptism ceremony like?” Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically.
      Li Zhe pointed to the door of the mass room:
      ”It is similar to the ordinary mass, but the baptized person cannot wear the clothes he prepared. They must be stripped off and wrapped in the red bath towel in the church.
      ”Who can stay in the mass room for longer, the more Can get the blessings of persistent years. “
      Jiang Baimian heard it with gusto, and interjected to ask:
      ”What’s the difference between that Mass?” “
      Only once a month, in addition to the ordinary mass, there is a hot bath and a collective dance praising the gods. “Li Zhe explained briefly. After
      talking about enrollment, Jiang Baimian talked about the purpose of the “old tune group” coming to Tarnan:
      ”We want to see the source brain for some things, so we directly ask it, but don’t know the devotee. ‘Did you impress’Mechanical Heaven’ and let us get permission? “
      Li Zhean quiet listening, sighed and said:
      ” I have so many years in Ta Ernan …… “
      Here, he pointed his finger out at church:
      ”Those people in the town have stayed here longer, and the caravans that go back and forth each represent a certain power, but no one has seen the source brain, and most of them don’t even know the existence of the source brain.”
      Li The implication of philosophy is:
      I can’t help it.
      When Jiang Baimian and Shang saw Yao, they couldn’t force it. After a few greetings, they left.
      As an associate member of the “Forge Sect”, before turning around, Shang Jianyao presented a dance to the holy emblem representing the “Scorching Gate”.
      Li Zhe was quite satisfied with this.
      …………
      Tarnan Hunter’s Guild is also located in the middle area on the most lively “Riverside Avenue”.
      The layout inside is very similar to the Hunter’s Guild in Wild Grass City. There are also multiple tables with corresponding electronic products to assist hunters in receiving and handing in tasks.
      The only difference is that the hunter guild here is not too big, there are not many clerks, there are only three, and because there are machines to do it, it seems quite laid-back, and can even be distracted and daze.
      Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked to a round-faced female staff member and looked inside through the empty glass baffle below.
      ”Hello.” Long Yuehong took the initiative to speak.
      The staff member brushed the floor and raised his head, with a dazed expression in his eyes.
      ”What’s the matter?” she asked in dusty language after a while.
      She didn’t use a dialect, but a language similar to Hongshiji.
      Long Yuehong had already discussed with Bai Chen, and said bluntly:
      ”We want to visit President Gu Bo.”
      ”Ah, let me ask you questions.” The staff member panicked and picked up the black phone and dialed. Numbers.
      After the call was connected, she said a few words, “Hmm” twice, then raised her head, and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:
      ”Chairman Gu will let you over, room 201 on the second floor.”
      Uh… Is this all right? So simple? Long Yuehong was a little surprised.
      He still remembered that when he was in Wild Grass City, he wanted to meet several senior hunters’ guild leaders for a reason.
      Maybe the scale of the guild here is small, and there are not so many rules and division of interests? Long Yuehong became more and more accustomed to thinking about the information contained in these differences, although he often couldn’t think of the answer.
      After exchanging glances with Bai Chen, they stepped towards the stairs.
