Seeing that Terence became serious, Shang Jianyao no longer said "haha" and asked seriously:
"What sect are you?"
"The 'Beyond Spirituality' Order." Terrance said with a reverent face.
Jiang Baimian couldn't help but join the discussion:
"You have differences in philosophy with the 'Most Holy Desire' sect, uh, what kind of misinterpretation have they made of the teachings of the Elder?"
Hearing the last half of the sentence, Terrance was full of comfort, and said with a slight smile:
"We all believe that each person has a spirituality that transcends all things, which is innate and lurks in the depths of our hearts."
"Is this the gift of the 'mandala'?" Jiang Baimian had seen some descriptions of the doctrine of the "Most Holy Desire" sect in the materials given by the company, but it was not so detailed, and there was no introduction to the "Beyond Spirituality" order in those materials.
"No." Terrance shook his head.
He said solemnly and reverently:
"God is the spirituality that transcends everything, God is called 'Mandala', and God is in each of us."
"Then aren't we born believers in 'Mandala'?" Shang Jianyao looked "fussed".
Terrance nodded in relief and replied with the doctrine just now:
"God is in each of us."
"God is in each of us." Shang Jianyao did not respond at all.
Then, he asked expectantly:
"Doesn't your order have a way of praying or saluting?"
He strengthened his tone with gestures.
A blessing is incomplete without prayer gestures!
Terrance laughed, raised his right hand, and gently stroked his lips with his index and middle fingers.
After stroking, he opened his mouth to bless:
"May your spirituality be above all."
"May your spirituality also surpass all else." Shang Jianyao followed suit and made the same move.
It seems to have the taste of "Lord of Desire" and "Mandala" believers...... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.
Terrance then laughed:
"This is actually a gesture when praying, and it is also used in front of people who are not familiar with it, hehe, although we are familiar with it, you are not a member of our order yet.
"We salute each other by kissing each other on the cheek, which was also a ritual in the Old World."
I'm really not used to it...... Jiang Baimian brought the topic back on track:
"You continue."
The bloated Terrance took out a small piece of item wrapped in tin foil from his pocket and slowly unfolded it.
Inside, there was a piece of dark brown chocolate.
After putting the chocolate in his mouth and chewing and swallowing, Terrance said with his eyes half-closed and very relaxed:
"Everyone has a spirituality that transcends everything, but it is difficult to feel Him, to see Him, because we are always entangled in various desires, the desire for food, the desire to sleep with 'prey', the desire to compare, the desire to enjoy, the desire to communicate, the desire to be lazy, the desire to pursue mental stimulation, and so on.
"These desires blind our eyes and envelop our minds, preventing us from seeing and feeling the transcendent spiritual ...... in our bodies."
When he was explaining the teachings, because his eyes were half-closed, as if he was feeling the spirituality that transcends everything, he couldn't notice Shang Jianyao's lost expression.
Shang Jianyao looked at the tin foil carrying the chocolate and retracted his gaze regretfully.
Jiang Baimian asked tentatively:
"So, do you need to restrain these desires and allow a transcendent spirit to emerge from the bottom of your heart?"
To be honest, she felt that this should not be the philosophy of the "Beyond Spirituality" Order, after all, Terrance's stature and his performance just now showed that he was not a person who restrained his desires.
"No." Terrance smiled and opened his eyes, "That's the misunderstanding of a heretical sect, they call it 'Return Sect', active elsewhere. Madam, don't restrain yourself, desires cannot be eliminated, they can only vent."
He seriously explained the concept of the "Beyond Spirituality" order:
"Desire cannot be eliminated, as long as you are alive and have not become a vegetative state, then desire will inevitably arise.
"We must not fear it, but learn to recognize it correctly and treat it. Think about it, every time you have hearty sex, will you enter a wonderful state, with peace of mind and mind, no longer troubled by various desires, and a feeling of detachment from reality?"
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were stunned when they heard this.
They didn't answer, and they couldn't answer, their expressions were quite consistent.
Terrance didn't think about letting them tell him the answer to this question, and said to himself:
"That shows that you are close to a spirituality that transcends everything, which in some Old World documents is called 'Wise Age's Time.' The name of my awakening ability is also called this, which means that it has been approved by the gods.
From this point of view, we have a way to see and tap into our inner spirituality, that is, to indulge our desires, vent them one by one, and then, in the ultimate peace, the ultimate detachment, to feel, to seek.
"Our way of praying is to indulge the desires of that moment, if you want to have sex, find someone to sleep, if you want to smoke, come to a pack, if you want to drink, let yourself have a good meal, if you want to eat sweets, don't think that this will harm your body, if you want to eat meat, try your best to meet your needs, and if you want to beat someone, do not hesitate to strike ......"
This could lead to sudden death...... or be killed...... Jiang Baimian didn't dare to say the words in his stomach.
She asked instead:
"What does the 'Most Holy Desire' sect think?"
Terrance's expression became serious again:
"They actually think that all kinds of desires and transcendent spirituality are inseparable, that you have me, I have yours, and you are the other side of the gods.
"How is this possible?
"Therefore, they believe that as long as all kinds of desires are burned and boiled, they can feel and grasp the spirituality that transcends all things."
Jiang Baimian suddenly realized:
"In other words, do you think that desire is an obstacle to seeing your own spirituality, that venting is only the most reasonable and effective way, and that desire is also sacred?"
"Yes." Terrance said in a deep voice, "They are blaspheming."
If this is blasphemy, and if they are not destroyed when the year does exist, it means that the "mandala" still approves of their ideas to a certain extent, or does not care about these inexplicable things at all...... Jiang Baimian responded in his heart.
Seeing that Terrance had finished speaking, Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to ask:
"What is your sacrament?"
Terence laughed:
"It is something that can satisfy a certain desire or addiction, such as coffee, such as red wine, such as a special drink left over from the old world, which can only be produced in very few factories now."
As he spoke, Terrance stood up, walked to a refrigerator in the living room that was very old-world style but relatively new, opened the door above, and took out two bottles of black liquid.
Then, he used utensils to get some ice cubes out of the freezer below.
He quickly sat back across from the coffee table and asked Ogg to bring three glasses of water from the kitchen.
In the sound of poofing, Terrance pried open the lids of the two bottles of black drinks and poured the liquid inside into the water glass.
The gurgling movement continued to occur, and the black drink in the cup was endlessly popping up with coffee-colored bubbles.
The final step is to put the ice cubes in and let them soak in the liquid.
Raising his right hand, he gently stroked his lips with his index and middle fingers for a while, and after completing the prayer, Terence picked up a cup and paid a false respect to Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian:
"You can drink it."
He immediately raised his head slightly and drank the black drink in the cup, looking satisfied.
Shang Jianyao made a gesture of reciprocation without hesitation, and then took a big sip of the liquid with ice.
A few seconds later, he put down the cup that was only half left, looked at the drink bottle on the table, and nodded sincerely:
"Your sect is very good."
Isn't this just Coke...... Although Jiang Baimian had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs walking, controlled his expression, and took small sips of his drink.
The refreshing feeling and the unique taste made her quite satisfied.
After sharing the sacrament, Terrance asked a question:
"How could you directly guess that I am from the 'Most Holy of Desire' sect just now? Have you been in contact with them before?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian replied calmly, "Our friend in Weed City was cheated by a woman named Christina, who is suspected of being a member of the 'Most Holy Desire' sect, suspected."
"Hunter Guild that?" Terrance suddenly realized, "She is a relatively active suspect. Don't rush to take revenge on her, the 'Most Holy Desire' sect has a deep relationship at the top."
"That's right......" Jiang Baimian didn't expect to get such unexpected information.
After dealing with the people around Terrance and confirming that the "reasoning clown" can be argued in a cycle for a period of time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian took Ogg out of No. 25 Stern Street and got into their own jeep.
"At first, the city was really full of awakened people, and various religious organizations could be seen everywhere, either bright or dark." Jiang Baimian sighed while driving, "This also indirectly shows how strong the 'original city' is, and it can suppress the situation, and it has not caused any major chaos in the city for so many years."
Shang Jianyao looked at the road ahead, sighed and said:
"Now Xiaohong is here......"
"Don't be old black and red!" Jiang Baimian smiled.
…………
In the first city, in the hall of the Hunter's Guild.
Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gnawa, who did not receive the news from Han Wang, returned here from the second floor.
Suddenly, Long Yuehong pointed to a place and said:
"That, is that the vice president of the Wild Grass City Hunters Guild before, called, called Christina?"
Bai Chen and Gnava followed his line of sight and saw a woman in her thirties with blond hair and blue eyes.
In addition to rough skin and slightly larger pores, the woman wearing a white shirt and blue diagonal striped cloth trousers is really very tasteful, reminiscent of the kind in bed.
She is the former vice president of the Weed City Hunters Guild, Christina.
