The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 198 Approaching the Gods (Twenty)
"It's okay, go ahead." The high priest forced himself to cheer up. "There are only three priests in our temple. I'm old, and the Dawn Priest doesn't like to go out. In the end, the important task of carrying forward our temple depends on you."

"So don't ask for anything unreasonable. As long as it's related to missionary work, we will satisfy you."

Now the high priest has a very good impression of Liu Sheng. As soon as Liu Sheng came, he suppressed their performance for so many years that they couldn't remember. It turned out that young people are still needed.

Maybe before long, he can really enter retirement...

If Liu Sheng knew what the high priest was thinking, he would definitely clench his fists.

You don’t even have any results!

Besides, aren’t you enjoying your retirement now?

However, Liu Sheng didn't know that when he heard the high priest say this, he immediately continued: "Speaking of the matter of there being only three priests, what I said is exactly related to this matter."

"I'm wondering if we can recruit new priests? After all, our strength is limited, and we still need more devout believers to join our missionary team and become our vital force!"

"What? Is there a suitable candidate?" The high priest was really excited this time.

"That's right. Today I came into contact with a believer who expressed a strong desire to spread the teachings of God. She hopes to join our temple and become a priest who can speak for God."

"How is this person?" The high priest was very curious. It was really strange that someone would want to preach for God just today. However, this was enough to show the preaching ability of this young priest. It made people feel like they had known each other for a long time.

Liu Sheng lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "This person is Song, a villager from Liantang Village. Her name is Yanran, she is 23 years old. After her husband died of illness, she raised a daughter alone. She has a kind heart and a strong character. Although she lives a lonely life, she is really rare."

"It sounds like she is a strong and virtuous woman. However, becoming a priestess is not enough. One also needs to have sufficient understanding and knowledge of the gods. Priest Mother Earth, do you think this woman is capable of such a great task?" the high priest asked Liu Sheng.

"I thought, since she expressed such a yearning and has faith in her heart, why not let her try... Moreover, we need more priests to promote the faith of our god together."

This last sentence really hit the point, and the high priest began to ponder.

Liu Sheng knew something was going to happen when he saw the look on the head priest's face, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot: "As for the theological study that the head priest is worried about, Song Yanran can read, and now she has made up her mind to study the divine book. I am willing to guarantee her, and teach her by example, so that she can study the divine book as soon as possible and add to the help of spreading the faith of our temple."

With such repeated offers, the high priest could not refuse.

You know, the so-called temple arranging new priests to come here for internship is just a legitimate identity arranged for them by this illusion.

Even in Liu Sheng's speculation, this temple, the high priest and the priest of dawn all existed because of this illusion, because in real history, she remembered that there was no related existence.

As for why such an arrangement was made, Liu Sheng was not clear.

But Liu Sheng knew clearly that it would not work with only the three of them as priests. In fact, the so-called missionary work should also include the hidden task of developing priests.

Thinking back to what happened in Liantang Village just now, it was Widow Song who first proposed to become a priest and walk the earth for God like her.

After hearing this, Liu Sheng's mind was instantly broadened: Since we are going to adopt the "faith" distribution model, of course we need more priests.

But Liu Sheng still wanted to confirm what Widow Song was thinking.

So, when Liu Sheng asked her why she wanted to be a priest, Widow Song replied that it was because she wanted power.

"I don't want to be a helpless woman waiting for help anymore. I want to protect myself and Xiao Ya." When Widow Song said this, her face was full of determination that didn't match her appearance.

This reason is very reasonable.

Liu Sheng then asked her a few more questions and learned that her full name was Song Yanran. Because she was once a poor girl, she was literate and had read quite a few books.

It seems that Song Yanran has a good character and has the foundation to study the divine book, so he decided to recommend her to the high priest.

Sure enough, the high priest agreed after a brief thought.

"Okay, since you recommend it, let Song come to the temple to see me tomorrow. If they are destined to be with the Supreme God, they can stay here to learn as trainees. After passing the test, they can officially go out to preach."

"Thank you, High Priest!" Liu Sheng smiled indifferently.

"However, this is a special period, so we need to deal with it in a special way. If it were in the past, we should have been trained in the temple before we could become apprentice priests..." The chief priest sighed and said helplessly. "Yes, now that strange things are everywhere and the cold night is coming, it is the time when the Supreme God needs to descend." Liu Sheng was very cooperative, but his face was also full of worry.

"That's right." The high priest stroked his beard and admired Liu Sheng's awareness.

"However," she changed the subject and asked tentatively, "If Song Yanran really has potential, wouldn't it be better to send her to the Temple for training? Wouldn't it be more effective in the future?"

The high priest sighed again: "If you can give it to me, that would be great. But..."

Then it got stuck again.

[Oops, I bugged them again. ]

Liu Sheng sighed in his heart.

[It seems that this issue, like the historical issue, is a taboo in their procedures.]

[This should be a regional issue. ]

[You should be able to guess why I can't send it, right? ]

[Of course, you are not the only smart person. ]

【Please note that our IQs are the same. 】

[Wait, he’s gone…]

At this time, the high priest directly skipped to the process of distributing rewards, got up and left the temple on his own, probably going back to sleep.

Liu Sheng felt helpless about this crude design, so he quickly chased after the high priest and stuffed the sweet potato in his hand into his hand.

[I almost didn’t have time to pay my respects to the High Priest. 】

[Luckily I caught up with him, although he didn't respond. ]

【Let’s go too. 】

[That's right, there are still many things to do tonight. ]

[Another sleepless night! ]

When the high priest returned to his room, he was stunned when he saw two extra sweet potatoes in his hand. Where did they come from?
Weird! Weird!

……

"What is she going to do? Isn't she going to sleep?"

Master Yan had been keeping an eye on Liu Sheng. He was surprised to see that she did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but went to the small study room where she woke up in the morning.

"We have a lot of tough battles to fight next. How can we not sleep?" Minister Li found it incredible.

"Yes, and look at her, she has started copying books again..." Han Shanjun said helplessly, "She even took out the boiled peanuts that she had just left, and she was peeling them while copying... I want to eat them too."

"It's quite willful." Mei Yuanzheng commented.

After everyone had spent "an entire night" copying and reading books, they could not help but ask, "Mei Yuanzheng, how can this be considered arbitrary? What on earth can be considered arbitrary?"

Mei Yuanzheng: "..."

"She works harder than I did when I was studying." Ling Fu, the well-known academic master and Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty, concluded.
