Ye Fan picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and said: "What ordinary people do in this world is either for fame or profit, and what they want to do is to make peace of mind.
The practice of your Holy Spirit Cult cannot be said to be indifferent to fame and fortune, so...of course it is for your own benefit."
The holy lady nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye really has a lot of experience, and at a young age, he can see clearly."
As she said that, the holy lady asked Shi Lanyu, who was next to her, to pour tea for Ye Fan.
While pouring tea, Shi Lanyu asked curiously, "Brother Ye Fan, are you not afraid that my master will play tricks on the tea?"
Ye Fan smiled faintly, "If a cup of tea can make me pour here, how dare I come in with you."
"Mr. Ye is really confident. It seems that our Holy Spirit Church is really insignificant in your eyes," Shenggu said.
"How can it be insignificant? You have made Xia Guo's military dare not step into this million-dollar mountain easily," Ye Fan said.
The holy aunt smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Mr. Ye, you and I both know that the current government of the Xia Kingdom just doesn't bother to take care of us because our Holy Spirit Church has very little influence.
If they really want to deal with our Holy Spirit Cult, I'm afraid they don't even need to send people here. If they directly launch a few missiles outside or send a few planes over, we won't be able to resist. "
Of course, Ye Fan also knew that Xia Guo's military couldn't really do anything to the Holy Spirit Cult, they just didn't care about this remote place.
"You asked me to come in just to talk about this?" Ye Fan guessed, and asked, "Do you think...the Holy Spirit Church is not safe anymore?"
The holy lady nodded solemnly, and said: "Actually, our Holy Spirit Church has reached a dead end, and I don't know how many more years we can persist."
"Oh?" Ye Fan wondered: "I see that you have more than a dozen strongholds. When you walked in just now, there were hundreds of congregants, and millions of people in the mountains respect you very much. Why are you in danger?"
The holy aunt smiled wryly, "Mr. Ye, do you know the scale of the Holy Spirit Church fifty years ago?"
Ye Fan shook his head, he didn't know much about the Gu God Sect in the past or the Holy Spirit Sect now, and the information given by Tianyan was only rough.
The holy aunt let out a long sigh, and said with a look of reminiscence in her eyes: "At that time, in addition to the left and right guardians of our Holy Spirit Church, there were five poisonous elders, seventy-two guardian elders, and more than two thousand people in the church.
There are a total of 600,000 believers in these millions of mountains. Every year, they come to offer offerings and pay homage to the Empress Wa...
At that time, the congregation and believers were not obsessed with the world outside the mountain at all. Everyone guarded the million mountains together with the most devout beliefs. "
Speaking of this, the holy aunt said regretfully: "However, times have changed... In the past fifty years, Xia Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes.
People's hearts are not old, and more and more people are becoming obsessed with the world of luxury and money outside.
Especially after the Chicheng was established, the government of the Xia Kingdom painstakingly built highways and railways around the million-dollar mountain, and moved all kinds of seductive vulgar objects outside the million-dollar mountain.
I know that they are intentional at all, wanting to completely turn our sacred million-dollar mountain into their own property without a single soldier!
They really did... They continue to use some dirty benefits to corrupt our pure-hearted congregants and believers!
This evil wind has made it so that there are less than 100,000 believers left in the entire million-dollar mountain, and there are only less than 500 people left in the congregation..."
"Wait a minute!" Ye Fan couldn't help calling a stop when he heard this, and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I said Holy Lady... I think your statement is open to discussion.
Isn't it a good thing for the country to build roads, build modern cities, and bring a prosperous life to your people in millions of mountains?
They didn't burn, kill, loot, or maliciously destroy. Even if your believers and congregations decrease, it's their own choice...
Is it necessary to live in poverty in the mountains, but can't go out to live a better life? Just to believe in your Holy Spirit religion? "
"No!!" The holy aunt suddenly showed a glint of anger and fierceness in her eyes. She was completely different from her previous peaceful appearance. She jumped up and said, "They were all tempted by the Xia government! They were all tempted by those greedy people in power." Those who bewitched!!
We have guarded the millions of mountains for thousands of years, and in all dynasties, nothing like this has ever happened!
Our congregation and believers will never betray their beliefs! All of this is caused by the contemporary government of the Xia Kingdom, who are working in the dark! !
They just want to destroy us, using this despicable and insidious plan to constantly erode every inch of our land! Those in power in Xia Kingdom are the root of all evil! ! "
Ye Fan took a deep breath, showing helplessness, and looked at Shi Lanyu beside him.
I found that the girl stood there with complicated eyes.
Ye Fan couldn't help smiling, and said, "Shi Lanyu, do you think your master is right? What do you think?"
The holy lady looked at her disciple, "Xiao Yu, you should be able to understand the meaning of the master best, right?"
Shi Lanyu lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "I hate the world outside the mountain, I like the Holy Spirit Cult, this is the purest place."
"That's right! That's it!" The aunt nodded with satisfaction, and said: "In the filthy world outside, people's hearts are not old, and the world is cold! Those in power in the Xia Kingdom just used some petty profits to confuse our believers, but in Lead them into the abyss of eternal doom!!"
Ye Fan frowned and said, "Holy aunt, your apprentice just said that he hates the outside world, but he didn't say that the dirty world outside must be bad."
The saint aunt smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, do you know that ever since Xia Guo began to build roads to our million-dollar mountain, the wild animals and rare birds in our mountain have been poached constantly.
The girls in our mountains were trafficked, bullied, and even many were killed by poachers with guns, and their bodies were thrown into the wilderness!
If it weren't for our Holy Spirit Cult, who constantly send congregants to patrol and use some traps to resist those foreign invaders, the residents of these millions of mountains must have suffered even more!
If those in power in the Xia Kingdom were doing it for the benefit of our million-dollar people, then why did such a disaster happen! ? "
Ye Fan frowned. He believed these words, but this holy lady was obviously looking at these inevitable historical evolutions from a narrow perspective.
"Holy aunt... You have to look at both sides of everything. I know you don't want to see the Holy Spirit Church go down in your hands, but there are some things that can be changed by not one person, but a few people."
"You think I'm doing it for my own benefit?" the saint asked back.
"Even if it's not your self-interest, it's only the interest of the Holy Spirit Cult," Ye Fan said, "I can understand that you send people to intervene in the secular world and the underground gang.
You want to control some underground channels outside the mountain step by step, so as to serve your Holy Spirit Cult, and you can use this to blackmail the Xia government and make trouble if you don't compromise.
But to be honest, you are just playing with fire and setting yourself on fire... because once the Xia government knows that you are trying to control all the underground families, they will definitely come to exterminate you immediately.
You also know that you can't really resist Xia Guo's military, they just didn't hit you hard because everyone is a Xia Guo compatriot. "
The holy aunt stared at Ye Fan with flickering eyes, and said: "Mr. Ye is right, our Holy Spirit Cult...after all, is weak now. But...if Lucifer, the king of hell, becomes our own, maybe it will be different." .
