Residents deserve to celebrate.≧

In a chaotic battle, although some people were injured, only four or five died.

The pirates were not determined to kill people, and they began to try to break through and have no time to get entangled; later they were blocked from both ends and wanted to escape, and they did not have too much thoughts to delay...

Apart from the old priests, they never had the target of gathering fire. With the abnormal defense of the residents in the town, they naturally became like this.

Four or five, it seems to be a lot. But compared with the dozen bodies left by the robbers hastily, it is nothing. After all, this is a civilian with the old, weak, sick and disabled, fighting the strong robbers with strong soldiers and horses; with hastily prepared, we welcome the long-planned raid.

More importantly, people are not very important, and things are not very important.

Although the robbers were skilled in their business and had bottles and jars in just a few minutes, and the horses were filled with big and small bags, the main force in the town returned too quickly. The Communist Party did not have much time to rob, and in the end they were chased and killed all over the hillside, and they had no choice but to throw away a lot.

Afterwards, the townspeople each calculated that although there were losses, they were tolerant losses. In the face of such painstaking and self-developed offensives by the robbers, they could still achieve such results. What reason is there not to celebrate?

Amid the cheers, Xiao Ling and others were taken to the old priest.

"Those who praise the Lord will be praised and sing; those who firmly believe in the Lord will be protected and protected..." Walking among the wounded, the old priest drew a cross with his hand, and the sing turned into white light.

The sound of moaning and moaning suddenly decreased a lot, and the faces of the injured showed a peaceful and peaceful expression.

Suddenly the old priest frowned and looked at the person who was shining by the white light: "The person with a double mind has no determination in all his paths. Don't think about getting anything from the Lord..."

The person who was told was frightened in an instant. He fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying that he was guilty.

He said that he was shaken in the battle. When someone needed help, he did not step forward in time; when the robber rushed to him, he couldn't help but retreat.

"What are you afraid of? What are you confused?" Looking at the townspeople who bowed their heads, the old priest slowly reached out and pressed the man's head, "Don't be afraid, just believe. Fear the Lord and keep all his commandments, and the Lord will bless you."

The white light shrouded in, and this person fell into a long-term obsession, crying and laughing, twisting and struggling and smiling relievedly, and I don’t know what kind of torture and test he was experiencing.

Someone handed over a clean towel. The old priest took it, wiped his hands, wiped his sweat, turned to Xiao Ling and the other four, praising them, saying that in the face of a large number of robbers, the village had made great contributions to such a record.

Xiao Ling and the others naturally waved their hands and called themselves sinners. They did not dare to take credit.

"I used to be blasphemous, persecuted, and insulted, but I was still merciful. I did it because I didn't believe and didn't understand..." The old priest looked at them kindly. The meaning of this sentence was that knowing mistakes can correct them. There is no greater good.

Several people continued to be polite and cursed the master in their hearts. The design was a scammed background. They clearly spoke Chinese, which was as difficult to understand as foreign.

Just as they were wondering what the old priest said and asked them to come alone, what purpose was this mysterious nonsense, the old priest finally expressed his purpose.

He looked back at the townspeople who were still suffering from white light: "Since you are so dedicated to Christ, can you... accept my baptism?"

Xiao Ling and the other four were stunned.

The so-called baptism is the ritual of being baptized in Christianity and converting to become a believer.

This ceremony itself is not a problem, but... look at the believer behind him who was still suffering in the white light? It was just that his belief was shaken for a moment and he was taken care of in this focus.

With everyone's piety and understanding of Christianity... Just like in prison, singing a few hymns and praising God's stinky feet is the limit. I really hope that everyone can become a pious believer?

Amitabha, is it blasphemy before you know it?

...It's still a second blasphemy!

This is what I think in my heart, and of course I can't say that with my mouth. Xiao Ling drew the cross with his hands, looked at his eyes, nose, and heart and heart: "Father, if we admit that we are guilty... no, our fundamental is made of sin, and we really dare not blaspheme Christ."

The old priest smiled slightly: "When we come to God with sincerity and sufficient faith, we must also stick to our acknowledgement of hope and not shake it, for what promises us is faithful."

Before Xiao Ling could argue, he continued, "Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners. This is credible and very admirable..."

While asking Xiao Ling and others to strengthen their faith, they said, "You call yourself sinners, but Christ came to the world to save the world, so you should get on this boat obediently, don't hesitate."

These few temptations, Xiao Ling's heart, no, not only him, but everyone's hearts are like a mirror. This old priest is driving the ducks to put them on the shelves and trying to get them baptized. I'm afraid it's not that he really wants them to join the church, but that he still has some doubts about them! He wants to make some fuss in the name of baptism. After all, at this moment, a few people are nominally benefactors of the town, and it is not easy to use tough methods.

For a moment, Xiao Ling almost wanted to say: "Oh, Father, I'm sorry, in fact, we have been baptized and we are washed clean, so we don't need to wash any more..." Unfortunately, we can only think about it.

First, he had said before that he dared not to blaspheme, and second, he kept pushing and blocking like this, which was obviously not conducive to the continued plot.

Wash or not, is this a problem?

After hesitating for two seconds, Xiao Ling nodded decisively: "Then I'll bother the priest."

Whether this kind of plot task can be passed should not be how much true piety there is in my heart, but how well the plot is progressing.

How is the plot progressing? Complete the task to save your life, and the pressure of the holy light is weakened; the previous leap forwarding of the plot also rewarded the Holy Light to weaken... If you can't pass this, you have to protest to the master, and it arranged a plot that cannot be passed.

"Very good!" The old priest nodded with satisfaction, quickly ordered, gathered some people to set up his chapel and prepare for the baptism ceremony.

============

The priest's chapel is really just a small chapel, more than ten meters long and six or seven meters wide. Even if the rows of chairs are densely placed, they will cut off the middle passage, the podium and the holy water pool, and there is nothing left. It is impossible to accommodate thirty or forty people to pray together.

A simple wooden cross on the roof, a statue of Jesus' crucifix on the wall opposite the door. The Gothic house, tall narrow windows, spliced ​​by colorful pieces of glass, paints the biblical story.

The townsmen spontaneously came here to arrange cleaning.

It is precisely because the place is small and easy to clean up. In just over ten or twenty minutes, the church was dressed up.

Then the candle was lit, the accompaniment sounded, and the solemn song sounded: "When is today! I have made up my will and chose my God and my Savior!... The covenant of happiness is dependent on my Lord, but he deserves all love and respect;... This covenant is set, and I will never regret it. The Lord is now me, and I am also the Lord;..."

The chorus ended, and the chorus was connected. After a gorgeous hymn, everyone prayed in unison: "Lord, thank you! Today we held baptism before you and all the witnesses, for these baptisms, please come and bless us... Amen!"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the podium quietly. The old priest walked up to the podium tremblingly and began to explain: "When the Lord preached on earth, he ordered his disciples to baptize people."

Xiao Ling continued to recite according to the prompts of the line: "We are now baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and are included in the name of the Trinity God. From now on, I am of Christ."

Wendy continued with a thorn in the air: "From then on we are separated from the world and the devil. When we did not believe in the past, we were the devil and the world. We obey the devil, and are enemies with God, and are slaves of sin. But because of the redemption of the blood of Jesus Christ, we have escaped from the control of the devil and entered freedom. Now we are the Christ and the God."

Li Tianxiao: "Today is a witness to the purity of sin, which is only in our hearts. The water of baptism does not wash away our sins, but only the blood of the Lord can wash away our sins."

Ling Wulin: "Today is a testimony of salvation. We are saved through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead. We witness to the world that we receive the salvation of the Lord's resurrection from the dead by faith. Noah was saved through the water, and we were baptized like him, saved through the water."

At this point, everyone has a turn, starting again with Xiao Ling: "Believe in the Lord, not only will the sins be forgiven and saved, but also his life. Because he has obtained his life, he is in him. When he is crucified, buried, and resurrected, we are also nailed, buried, and resurrected in him."

The long, boring, and boring baptism continues.

Xiao Ling and the other four strictly followed the rules of the ceremony and continued their oath one after another. After more than ten or twenty minutes of declaration, they finally completed the entire process.

The old priest came to the holy pond and dipped his hand into the water: "You have been led to the Red Sea. You can choose to cross the river, and suffer many sufferings for the Lord by moving forward, and finally receive the glory promised by God; all those who are not prepared for the future and those who have not made final decisions on this path, can go back now."

"Are you all ready?"

It must be good if it is not good! Xiao Ling and the other four were complaining in their hearts and all shouted: "We do it!"

The holy white light accompanied by the holy water instantly covered them and poured into their bodies.

An extremely cold aura, with a hot and hot aura, conflicted and entangled in their bodies, as if they were electrically circulated, as if they were disturbed by Wu Sihai while practicing the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Sword.
