"you……"
The old man wearing a white missionary robe may not have thought that there could be someone so shameless in this world! Even in front of the sufferer, you can tell lies with confidence!
For a moment, the old man was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Liu Hongji for a long time before holding back a sentence: "Aren't you afraid of going to tongue-pulling hell if you talk so nonsense?"
"Talking lies? I just threw a banana peel and you cursed me with five thunderbolts. Why didn't you say it?!"
Liu Hongji glanced sideways at the old man, and was about to hum a few more words, but Xiao Han next to him stopped him first, and asked the old man strangely: "Wait a minute, the tongue pulling hell is not a place in Buddhist scriptures, you Christians How can I believe this?"
Originally, this was just a question that Xiao Han asked casually because he saw that the old man's dress was the same as that of the priests of later generations.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the word "Christ", the expression of the old man opposite changed drastically. He looked at Xiao Han and others warily and said, "What Christians? Our sect is Nestorianism, not Christians!"
"Nestorian?"
Suddenly hearing the name from the old man's mouth, Xiao Han was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated. At the same time, beside him, Ren Qing, who had been silent all this time, also showed a rare expression of surprise, staring at the old man closely with his eyes.
"Yes, Nestorianism of the Great Qin Dynasty!" The old man noticed the changes in Xiao Han and others, and said proudly: "Earlier this year, your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally awarded the plaque!"
"Ahem, I'm sorry! This is all our fault! You were almost injured, so this little money will be treated as our compensation for you!" After listening to the old man's words, Xiao Han's mouth trembled twice, and he suddenly handed over his hands in a bachelor's manner. Apologize.
His strange behavior immediately aroused Liu Hongji's dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to ask Xiao Han if he was crazy, he stomped his foot hard on his foot, causing Liu Hongji to feel pain immediately. With tears in his eyes, he swallowed all the words that came to his throat and couldn't say anything.
"snort."
As for the originally angry old man, seeing Xiao Han admitting his mistake so simply and Liu Hongji's sincere attitude, tears almost fell from his eyes. Most of his anger could not help but disappear. He snorted and said: "That's alright, Tianzun." I will forgive the lost lamb who has returned! I hope you can wholeheartedly do good in the future and get closer to the source of peace and happiness as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will follow the priest's teachings."
When Xiao Han heard this, he cupped his hands gratefully again, and then said: "But my brother has important things to do today, so I can't listen to the priest's wise words. I will ask for advice later."
"Hahaha, a kid can be taught..."
The old priest squinted his eyes and laughed loudly because he was coaxed by Xiao Han, because even in the extremely open Guangzhou, few people were willing to listen to the sect he promoted. Now that he heard that this kid wanted to come to ask for advice, the unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared. It was swept away, leaving only a sense of pleasure filled with recognition.
However, when he opened his eyes again after laughing, Xiao Han and the others were no longer in front of him, and only a few fun-loving guys were surrounding him.
"Uh, why are you so anxious? He disappeared so quickly, huh? No, he doesn't know where I live yet. Can he find me?"
Behind him, the old man holding the cross scepter was muttering, but at the corner of the street in front of him, Liu Hongji was dragging Xiao Han back, who was still scurrying away, and asked with a pair of bull's eyes: "Hey, Xiao. Han, what happened just now! Who is that old man talking nonsense?"
"Ahem, I said I didn't know him, do you believe it?" Xiao Han, who was dragged back, gave a bitter smile and looked at Liu Hongji sincerely.
"What do you think?!" Seeing Xiao Han actually said that, not only did Liu Hongji's eyes suddenly turn evil, but even Ren Qing and the several imperial guards looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a deceitful person. Like a liar.
"Ahem, but I really don't know him!" Xiao Han retreated steadily under the eyes of these people!
But what he said was not a lie.
This was the first time he saw the old man just now! He dares to swear to God! It's just that this is not the first time he has heard of the name Nestorianism.
Nestorianism was originally a branch of Christianity and could be regarded as the first Christian sect introduced to the Central Plains.
But probably because of differences in doctrine, Christianity did not agree with Nestorianism and even regarded it as a pagan.
Orthodox Christianity means devoutly believing in God and being willing to sacrifice everything for it.
Relatively speaking, Nestorianism is much smoother and more changeable. Although they also believe in God, they can also play tricks with this God.
Li Yuan posthumously recognized Laozi Li Er as his ancestor and made Taoism the first sect. Then Nestorianism went straight to the point of cruelty and changed God's name to Tianzun! Worshiping God is worshiping Li Tang’s ancestors!
In addition, Confucius' Confucianism is the most widely spread in the Central Plains and has the most students. Nestorianism learns from Confucian classics and combines it with the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules of Confucianism to force the emperor, God, and parents together. It is no longer just a separate Instead of believing in one God, teach the people that these three need to be worshiped together!
It has to be said that such a smooth approach has indeed allowed Nestorianism to develop rapidly in the eastern land, which is known to be the most difficult to preach. And because it also has a top-down development model, it first attracts people with status and power. Then through those with status, it affects the people below.
Therefore, in just a few decades, it has reached a scale that other sects took thousands of years to achieve. There are churches everywhere and countless believers!
Of course, everything in this world has its own destiny.
Nestorianism was blindly tactful. Although it developed rapidly, it also declined very quickly.
After the short-lived appearance of the Tang Dynasty, in just a few hundred years, Nestorianism declined from the prosperous scene of "ten paths of Dharma" and "a hundred cities with temples" to a pitiful situation that no one knows about.
"Hey, don't ask. Just remember that if you hear about Nestorianism in the future, stay away from them. Don't have anything to do with them. And not only it, but also all Taoism and Buddhism should be kept at a respectful distance."
There was no way to tell Liu Hongji and Ren Qing the consequences of believing in these sects. Xiao Han could only tell them repeatedly to stay away from these sects and not to be involved in the karma.
"Stay away from these people?"
Liu Hongji scratched Guang Guang's head and looked at Xiao Han suspiciously. After confirming that he was not joking, he laughed: "Don't worry! In this life, I only believe in the sword in my hand. What kind of deity or master has the ability?" Stand in front of me and let me chop him a few times. If he can't be killed, I will blow him up with a firearm..."
