Chapter 144: Prosperous fireworks
The anti-humanity of blood sacrifices generally occurs in the southern and northern regions, and all of them are concentrated in major cities and towns, but not in the countryside where living standards are relatively backward.
This is mainly because the countryside in the world of Crimson Eyes is not a village in the traditional sense, but a hunting village. Every village lives in an environment surrounded by dangerous species, and every villager is a natural hunter. This makes them very strong-minded, only believe in themselves, and do not pin their hopes on the ethereal god.
Even if some villages received the grace of the Anning Church and began to believe in the Anning Church, the degree of belief was not as crazy as the commoners in the city.
The particularity of the village made it difficult for the upper classes of the empire to reach out to them, and the only means of exploiting them was the annual tax. However, if the exploitation is excessive, the vast majority of these villages will simply refuse to pay taxes. Faced with this situation, most of the local officials have no idea what to do.
The local army is in the dense forest, and it is not the opponent of this group of villagers at all, and the frontier army they cannot command. This also makes the society extremely dark, but the villages far outside the civilization are at most poor and poor, not to the point of starvation.
With a large number of patrol teams from the Third Army conducting random checks on cities and towns, 56 incidents of blood sacrifices to babies were quickly found in the southern and northern borders. No matter how strict the Third Legion's inspection was, it still couldn't prevent this kind of thing from happening. Because the child is in their hands, they have a lot of opportunities to do this kind of anti-human thing, and by the time the Third Legion finds out, it's too late.
Faced with this situation, the Third Legion is also preparing countermeasures. Since they sacrificed their own children for the sake of faith, they should stop them with faith.
Canal City, Air Force Base.
A large armed helicopter landed slowly, and a very handsome man in a white robe walked down. The temperament of the man is very unique, giving people a very peaceful and comfortable feeling. This man is the leader of Anning Church.
Next, two clergymen in religious costumes walked down. Looking at the huge air force base and the parked steel monsters, everyone had an indescribable shock in their hearts.
Then Bishop of Anning Church, led by several soldiers, came all the way to the headquarters.
At this time, in the headquarters, all the high-level officials of the Third Army gathered together.
The soldier gave a military salute to the top of the Third Corps in the headquarters and said, "Report! The representative of Anning Church has arrived."
The soldiers then turned and left the room.
After the two sides exchanged a few words of courtesy, the Bishop of Anning Church took the vacant seat in front of him.
Li Anguo directly cut to the topic and said: "The Empire wants Anning Church to stop the recent blood sacrifice incident. The Third Army hopes that the Church can come up with an effective plan or action."
"For this matter, the church feels very guilty and sorry." Bishop Anning Church's handsome face was full of self-blame.
"A few years ago, the church headquarters had been warning the local churches against leading believers to carry out this kind of blood sacrifice. However, because the power of the church headquarters was too weak, coupled with several other bishops and local noble officials, the headquarters almost lost the right place. Church influence."
The Anning Church can be said to be noble in success and noble in defeat. The original intention of the bishop of Anning Church was to use the strength and financial resources of the nobles to relieve the suffering of the commoners. However, what happened later made Bishop of Anning Church realize that his thoughts were too naive.
How could the exploiters give up their oppression of the exploited because of a few doctrines, they just changed a way. In essence, the oppression of the people is unabated or even stronger, and the people are willingly oppressed because of their fanatical beliefs.
This has completely violated the original intention of Bishop Anning Church to found Anning Church, but when the Bishop of Anning Church found out, it was too late.
Over the years, he has been trying his best to clear these distorted local churches, but no matter what method, in the end, the power of the church headquarters will be too weak to achieve the desired effect. Even at the back, Bishop of Anning Church began to seek external help.
For example, a year ago he began to cooperate with the revolutionary army. The church provided the revolutionary army with the assistance and support of the people at the bottom, and the revolutionary army helped the Anning Church to clear the local church. However, after only three short months of cooperation, the Bishop of Anning Church immediately realized that the revolutionary army and the nobles were simply the same raccoon dog.
Instead of helping the Anning Church headquarters to clear the distorted local church, the revolutionary army accepted bribes from local nobles and churches. The revolutionary army's take-all behavior greatly disappointed the Bishop of Anning Church.
"Then what is the church going to do?" Li Anguo asked.
The leader of Anning Church thought for a while, and then replied: "The church plans to send a large number of clergy to carry out propaganda in the northern and southern regions. To preach the true teachings, let the people realize that blood sacrifice is a wrong behavior."
Li Anguo was not surprised by the method mentioned by the head of the Anning Church. An Ning Church's greatest strength is its influence on the people. To truly stop this kind of behavior, they can only rely on their beliefs. But Li Anguo was not satisfied with this method because the efficiency was too low.
There have been nearly 100 blood sacrifice baby incidents on the third day of the simply seven days of abundance, and the seventh day of the real celebration has yet to come. By the time Anning Church's persuasion took effect, the celebration would have ended long ago.
Li Anguo said: "This method is too slow. Next, the empire will give support to the church, open up those local churches that have been banned, and help the church to hold a grand seven days of abundance."
Blocking is worse than sparse. The Third Army intends to use this celebration to let the oppressed people vent their inner pressure. At the same time, the Third Army intends to hold a liquidation trial on the seventh day of the highest peak of the celebration.
Judge all the nobles to attract the attention of the people, and at the same time use these nobles to increase the people's favor towards the Eastern Xia Empire.
Hearing Li Anguo's words, Anning Church's group was very surprised. Shouldn't it be time to cancel the seven days of abundance to avoid blood sacrifices?
The leader of the Anning Church thought for a while, and immediately understood the intentions of the Eastern Xia Empire. Rather than suppressing the celebration, it is better to involve all civilians. After all, no matter how suppressed the Third Legion is, some believers who want to sacrifice babies in blood can still find a way to hold blood sacrifices.
Next, the two sides entered the next topic, which is the plan for the revision of Anning Church's teachings. This is the main purpose of today's Anning Church's leader.
After a friendly conversation between the two sides, a new Anning Church doctrine was freshly released.
Because the education at the Anning Church headquarters is very much in line with the moral values of the Eastern Xia Empire, most of them guide believers to survive and face life positively. Therefore, the Eastern Xia Empire did not make too many changes, but just added one in front.
[Under the guidance and approval of His Majesty the Emperor, Anning Church will guide believers to contribute to the construction of society]
...
In the next few days, with the support of the Eastern Xia Empire, the biggest seven-day celebration since then began. Countless red and yellow decorations hang high, and all the towns become unusually festive.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of tons of various kinds of food were transported in. The Eastern Xia Empire announced that the Seventh Days of Plenty Celebration would be jointly organized by the Third Army Corps and the Anning Church Headquarters. During these 7 days, the Eastern Xia Empire will provide free food for everyone, and everyone can enjoy the carnival.
When the residents knew that the Dongxia Empire allowed and supported the holding of the Seventh-Day Celebration, they all felt very incredible. After all, what happened during this time has seriously damaged the order set by the Eastern Xia Empire. According to what they knew about the Third Corps during this period, what these soldiers hated most were those who broke the rules.
Some people break the rules because of the seven days of abundance, so this celebration should be impossible to hold. But now the Eastern Xia Empire has not stopped, but has transformed itself into a host, providing them with a variety of delicacies.
As the news spread, all the people began to fall into a carnival. Countless people walked on the street and enjoyed various delicacies. Some people with special talents were hired by the Third Army to perform in designated places.
At the same time, the Third Army also dispatched numerous military trucks to the surrounding villages, sending the people from the villages all the way to nearby towns or cities.
And these villagers armed with martial arts entered the town and saw some people performing acrobatics at the end of the street, and they were able to get a lot of money tickets issued by the Dongxia Empire. Some villagers directly found an open space and performed various martial arts.
All the towns in the area controlled by the entire Eastern Xia Empire were lively, and countless people reveled in the streets. There are mobile pavilions selling all kinds of food on the streets, acrobatic troupes performing acrobatics, hunters showing martial arts, and even villagers pulling in the corpses of dangerous species to sell...
In this celebration, the people can casually eat white bread that only nobles could eat before, and drink various delicious drinks from the Eastern Xia Empire. Everyone feels as if they are living in a dream, living in heaven. It turns out that the world can still be so beautiful.
If this is a beautiful dream, then I hope this dream lasts forever.
For the first time in more than ten years, the people showed their sincere smiles and felt alive for the first time. This era of chaos and darkness has completely become a thing of the past in this carnival.
Soldiers of the Third Legion did not participate in the celebration, they were responsible for maintaining the nature of the celebration. A patrol team composed of 10 heavily armed Dongxia soldiers shuttled through the streets and alleys to maintain law and order throughout the celebration.
Indifferent, the machine-like soldiers of the Third Legion did not fit in with the festive scene around them.
In this carnival, the psychological pressure of the people who had been exploited for many years was gradually released, and the people's sense of belonging to the Eastern Xia Empire grew at an incredible rate. It is believed that after this celebration is over, the popularity of the Eastern Xia Empire among the people will completely surpass that of the Anning Church.
Coupled with the announcement of the Anning Church's new teachings, everyone knew that God could exist, but only with the permission of the Eastern Xia Empire.
...
4 days later, on the 7th day of the Abundant Seven-Day Celebration, the whole celebration reached its peak. Almost all the people joined the celebration.
The blood sacrifice incident that happened every day disappeared without a trace, because the Dongxia Empire reopened the church of Anning Church. All believers went to the church to worship, while listening to the teachings of the clergy sent by the Anning Church headquarters.
As aboriginal night attack squads, they also got a day off, allowing them to participate in the celebration of the arrival of this new era.
The members of the night raid team took off their military uniforms, put on their daily clothes, and walked on the spacious streets of the imperial capital.
"Oh! It's really lively!" Leonai looked at the lively scene around him, with rows of shops selling all kinds of food.
Everyone in the night attack was affected by the festive scenes around them, and everyone showed a smile more or less unconsciously. At the same time, their hearts were full of emotion. Most of the people they saw before were only numb and painful. And now their eyes are full of joy and hope for the future.
Leonai turned around and waved a big hand towards the others: "Go! How about a drink on such a happy day?"
"Drink you big bastard!" Maine glared at the woman whose **** were bigger than hers, "I don't want to drag a few dead people back on such a festive day."
Najeshtan also stood up to stop and said, "Hahaha, Leonai should stop drinking today, or else you will miss the fireworks at night, and it will be too late to regret it."
"Okay," Leoney gave up her plan to take a swig when she heard the fireworks, and then she turned her attention to Lubbock.
After Najeshtan took the lead in walking in front, Leona slowed down and walked side by side with Lubbock.
"Lubbock, when are you going to delay?" Leoney asked.
Lubbock turned his eyes away guiltily, and said, "Wait a minute, I'm not ready yet."
"Psychological preparation?" Leone looked at Lubbock with contempt, "When you are mentally prepared, the eldest's children will be born."
Regarding the situation between Najeshtan and Lubbock, everyone in the night raid was anxious and speechless. Obviously they like each other, but these two guys are very cowardly in front of their feelings. Najeshtan was the first to express her intentions, and Lubbock was a big coward. Every time she wanted to express herself, she flinched on the spot.
"Impossible." Lubbock shook his head repeatedly.
"Nothing is impossible," Leona showed a weird smile.
Afterwards, the night raiders walked on the streets of the imperial capital, shuttled through various pavilions and acrobatic troupes, ate various delicacies, and drank a drink called cola.
Everyone's faces also unconsciously showed smiles like the people around them, even if they rarely smiled and Chi Tong was no exception. This is their ideal society, and this is the beauty that they are striving for at night.
They succeeded, and they reached that ideal society.
At noon, I played a night attack in the morning and sat on the ground in a park. There were also countless people sitting on the ground with various foods, watching the clowns performing acrobatics in the middle.
The crowd applauded after the clown showed a high-altitude, tightrope walk.
"good!"
Ten minutes later, the night raiders walked out of the park and planned to go shopping in other places. I heard that the palace was specially opened today.
Just as the night raiders were walking out of the park, a man at the entrance of the cemetery across the road caught their attention.
The man has snow-white hair and holds three white flowers in his hands. If you look closely, you can see a faint white light emitting from the man's body.
The man turned his head slowly, those pure white eyes glanced at Ye Xiu and then turned and entered the cemetery.
Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment. They recognized who this person was. Isn't this person the childhood sweetheart of Shayou and Iyeas?
Seeing Tazmi, although the night attack everyone was surprised, it was not surprising. They had long known that the special security forces had accepted the imperial order of the Eastern Xia Empire, and Chi Tong had visited her sister a few days ago.
"Tazmi!" Sayou reacted immediately and paid attention.
When Iyeas saw Shayou running into the cemetery, he reacted and chased after him. The night raiders looked at each other and then entered the cemetery.
In the cemetery, a white-haired man stood quietly in front of three tombstones side by side, looking at the tombstones with pure white eyes.
"Tazmi!" Sayou looked at the extremely familiar and unfamiliar figure in front of her, and said his name subconsciously, but she didn't know what to say next.
Tazmi turned around slowly, looked at his companion who grew up together, and said, "Shayou, long time no see."
"Tazmi, what's wrong with you?" When Sayou stood in front of Tazmi, she realized that her childhood sweetheart seemed to have changed.
But she couldn't tell what had changed, she just felt that Tazmi was standing in front of her now, but it felt so far away.
hoo
A breeze blew gently, and the surrounding trees rustled. Tazmi didn't answer Sayou's question, just looked at her quietly.
Seeing that Tazmi did not answer her question, Shayou continued to ask, "Tazmi, let's go back to the village together."
Tazmi shook his head and said, "I can't go back."
At this time, Eyeas, who had just arrived, just heard Tazmi's words. He ran directly to Tazmi's death, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked, "Tazmi, what nonsense are you talking about? Why can't you go back to the village with us!? Everyone is waiting for you to come home!"
"Now that the war is over, we are no longer enemies! Tazmi, let's go back to the old days, shall we?"
Iyeas was very emotional, and tightly grasped Tazmi's shoulders with both hands.
Ever since they got Tazmi and didn't die, and when they accepted Zhao'an of the Empire, Ayeas and Sayou had been expecting Tazmi to return to the village with them. Now that they have finally met once, the two of them will definitely grab this guy and ask him clearly.
"The war is indeed over, but my war is not over yet." Tazmi stretched out his hands and took two steps away from the hands that Iyeas put on his shoulders.
In the eyes of the two of them, there seemed to be an invisible and intangible wall between Tazmi and them.
"I can't go back anymore, all I can do now is keep moving forward." Tazmi glanced at the tombstone behind him.
Now this society has indeed become a society where everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, but Tazmi still can't forgive himself, at least now he is not qualified to enjoy happiness.
...
At night, near 12 o'clock, the whole earth is still brightly lit. Everyone stopped the carnival, looked up at the sky, and waited for the arrival of a new era咻咻咻咻!
A gigantic firework soared into the sky carrying colorful rays of light.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the fireworks exploded instantly, colorful flames bloomed in the air, and a flower named Shengshi illuminated the dark sky and illuminated the people on the earth.
Everyone looked at the constantly flying and exploding fireworks in the sky, raised their hands and shouted heartily, cheering the arrival of a new era. There were excited smiles on people's faces, hilarious cheers and uncontrollable tears.
The fireworks of the prosperous age illuminated the whole earth. The era full of darkness, chaos and madness has passed, and a new era has arrived.
