Chapter 14 This Is Our Worship!
Early in the morning, Donglin, who was usually serious and solemn, presented a strange picture:
Ye Huan made Bai Xiaobai hold up "Dang Ge's Records" and led his 108 followers to stroll around the college, from the back hill dormitory to the front hill stadium, as well as the cafeteria and warehouse... For two whole hours, they almost strolled through the entire Donglin, and during this process, Ye Huan continuously read out "Dang Ge's Records" in a loud voice, attracting more and more classmates.
Of course, these latecomers are here to watch the excitement.
Heavenly Father, what on earth does Ye Huan want to do?!
Popov led his five hundred guards, almost sticking to the members of the Salvationists, they hated to rush up and catch these people, or lock them in a small black room for torture, or simply let them roll out of Donglin. However, looking at the 108 followers behind Ye Huan, they retreated.
Before the Great Calamity, the Yan Huang people had a saying: "Heroes emerge from humble beginnings!" These 108 disciples were the poorest, most hardworking, and strongest students in the academy. Once they donned their armor and unleashed their killing intent, it would be enough to make the vast majority of Donglin cultivators tremble with fear...
And Ye Huan said clearly that they were just expressing their piety to Brother Dan, and who would dare to stop such a normal religious gathering in the Theological Academy?
At last, Ye Huan arrived at his destination and had the disciples sit down.
Look closely at where they are sitting, Popov's face changed, the nostrils of the 500 guards seemed to be blocked by someone, and they could only open their mouths wide, inhaling a mouthful of cold air in unison.
This is a large square, about 400-500 square meters in size, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people for religious gatherings. And right in the most eye-catching place on the square stands an angel statue kneeling on the ground with arrows, short knives and daggers inserted all over its body.
A long spear pierced through the angel's back and out of his chest, piercing him right through.
This is Bicano, the guardian angel of the Heavenly Father's teachings.
It is said that during the Great Calamity, the evil demon appeared in the depths of the flames, and Biscano single-handedly guarded the entrance to the abyss, fighting valiantly for three days and three nights before finally succumbing to exhaustion. Due to this achievement, he was revered as a guardian angel of the Heavenly Father's Church, and only a high-ranking member of the church would be qualified to erect a statue of Biscano at the entrance.
For example, behind this Bignasco sculpture...
Alright, that's Principal Giggles' office.
"Yehuan, how dare you lead people to besiege the principal's office!?" Popov felt like a big turtle being lured by fragrant bait for more than two hours, only to fall into a pit of fire. But in his voice, there was already a hint of... fear!
At this critical moment when Oda Nobukatsu is being sealed away, there absolutely cannot be any disturbance in front of the principal's office!
"Mr. Popov, what are you talking about? I'll repeat it again, we're just having a normal religious gathering, and what we're going to do next is simply to express our piety towards Dang Ge!"
Ye Huan hummed unhappily and ordered, "Lu Xiu, take the strong boys to the nearby teaching building to borrow tables and chairs. Borrow as many as you can and say I need them for preaching! Bai Xiaobai, take the girls to... oh, don't misunderstand my meaning, just have them remove their outer white robes and tear off a few strips of cloth from the top..."
As she spoke, Ye Huan tore a strip of cloth from her own body and tied it into a sturdy rope noose. "Alright, like this, at least make 108 of these rope nooses for me!"
Is evangelism also related to tables, chairs and ropes? Popov had a bad premonition, but there was no law that gave the head of the security department the right to prevent students from tearing clothes, borrowing tables and chairs...
Ye Huan quickly got ready everything he needed.
Bang!
Bang!
He picked out the two sturdiest chairs and tried them, his strength barely enough to move them, then he carried the chairs under the statue of the Bignano Angel, looking up at it - he was mainly looking at the size of the statue, the kneeling angel was over thirty meters high, standing up could reach one hundred meters, so the arrows, daggers and other things on his body also reached ten or more meters in proportion.
The most wonderful thing is that the gun barrel, which killed the culprit of Bignose Angel, was as long as 120 meters. One section of the gun barrel protruded from Bignose's chest, only two or three meters above the ground, and students who jumped well could touch it with a jump.
It's him!
Ye Huan aimed at the gun rack, stacked two chairs together, stood on them, and then hung the prepared noose on the gun rack... Amidst a sea of stunned expressions, he finally put his head into the noose, making as if to kick over the chair at any moment...
"Leaf Huan!?"
"Brother Huan!?"
Everyone was stunned. Even a fool could see that Ye Huan was going to hang herself on the statue of the Begano Angel!
In the doctrine of the Heavenly Father's Church, there is also a euphemistic term for this, called "Martyrdom"!
"Disciples, we have just joined the Salvation Sect. At this sacred and great moment, we must do something to express our faith in Brother Dan. Do you agree?" Ye Huan wore a crown of thorns on her head and a snow-white long robe, with this glorious and holy image facing her 108 disciples, "Then, how can we make Brother Dan feel that we are so devout, so loving him?"
"The Heavenly Father's Scripture" page 3654 tells us the answer... Ah, the great Heavenly Father said that all living beings are created by the Heavenly Father, and all life is given by the Heavenly Father. To dedicate this most precious life to the Heavenly Father is also our greatest glory as a human being!
This is a genuine quote from the Heavenly Father, and it is also the root of many places where people offer sacrifices to this ugly phenomenon. After Ye Huan read it out loud, an even louder voice said: "Then what are we waiting for? Move the tables and chairs, take good rope, follow me, and sacrifice our lives to Brother Dan! Express our devotion! At the same time, let's martyrdom together to prove Brother Dan's brilliant ideas!"
After finishing this long speech, Ye Huan gave a wink to Bai Xiaobai and Lu Xiu.
"Older brother, what do you mean?" These two did not understand either, they were still immersed in the absolute shock of "Oh, I came here to commit suicide!" just like the other believers.
Only the outermost of the believers, a thin boy, stared at Ye Huan in surprise for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Next, he tore off his cotton clothes, took off the broken hat on his head, let out his hair, and shouted loudly: "Brother Huan, wait for me, give me some more time!"
He was making the final preparations for his hanging while shouting loudly: "Fellow students, how sacred and glorious it is to offer our lives to Chairman Mao! But before I make this sacrifice, I must confess my sins to Heaven. My clothes have been torn by the powerful, my land has been taken away by the powerful. At this most sacred moment, I can only appear before Heaven and Chairman Mao in such a wretched state..."
He wept uncontrollably, "But I believe that Heavenly Father and Elder Brother will forgive me, because they know that I am a poor nail household, my bitterness, they understand, my hardships, they also understand. Ah, may Heavenly Father and Elder Brother allow my impoverished soul to enter heaven!"
The words had been so blunt that several clever followers immediately reacted, they whispered a few sentences to their companions, and then everyone learned from Ye Huan's example, arranging the tables and chairs, tying the rope buckles, and hanging them neatly on the gun rack of the angel statue in a row...
One hundred and eight people collectively hanging themselves, isn't it laughable? Isn't it melodramatic? Isn't it spectacular?
Papov felt despair!
He closed his eyes, almost moaning in entreaty: "Yehuan, come down, with your hair disheveled and your clothes in disarray. You can't go see the Heavenly Father looking like this, it's not dignified!"
"You're right, Mr. Popov! We also want to be more dignified and presentable when we go see Heavenly Father and Brother Dawn, but...” Yehuan drew out her voice, “new clothes, building an altar, and some clean... gold coins?"
As she spoke, Ye Huan gave Popov a smile that could kill...
He didn't believe Popov would let himself be killed!
From the moment he left, Ye Huan understood an account: Oda Kiyoshi being sealed by himself was equivalent to the prince of the empire being murdered in a small mayor's house. At this time, Principal Giggs and Director Popov needed stability and harmony most. They would not tolerate a new religious sect collectively committing suicide at his doorstep.
Otherwise, the old monsters of the religious courts would knock on their doors with that infamous black coffee...
I knew it!
Just as the 108 people were about to hang themselves, Popov felt dizzy and heard Principal Giggs' roar in his ear, "Fool, don't you know that Oda Nobunaga was sealed away? Stability, stability, harmony, harmony, Donglin can't afford another big disturbance! But you, you actually let the leader of a new cult lead 108 people to collectively hang themselves outside my door?"
"Popov! Are you trying to bring those old monsters from the Ecclesiastical Court to kill me, so you can take my place?!"
It definitely will!
If he just sat back and watched these people hang themselves, Principal Giggles would have taken care of himself!
Popov let out a despairing groan and flew to Ye Huan's side, saying in the lowest voice: "Ye Huan, you win this time... I, Popov, admit defeat... As you said earlier, each person will get one gold coin, and I can extend the relocation period, allowing you all to move out before New Year's!"
"What did you say?" Ye Huan pretended not to hear clearly, "Disciples, who among you heard clearly? Mr. Popov seems to be saying one gold coin per person, but I don't understand what he's getting at with the gold coins! We are all Dan Ge's most devout disciples, and to die for him here is the greatest honor that Dan Ge has bestowed upon us. Can this honor be bought with just a single gold coin?"
"Yehuan, can you keep your voice down a bit? Please..."
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Something big has happened in Donglin recently. As a fellow Donglin person, if you still have some conscience, don't cause trouble at this time and bring huge troubles to your hometown and compatriots! Will you?"
Ye Huan smiled!
Popov's words were a bit silly, but for the former Ye Huan, conscience, hometown, and compatriots were just enough to soften another Ye Huan's heart. Unfortunately, today's Ye Huan was already a different person, so he could only sigh and go along with it, "Sigh, my injuries have relapsed recently, and my hearing has also declined... Mr. Popov, you said three gold coins per person, right?"
