Regarding the routine introduction of Wang Da Lama, everyone had nothing to say. After all, people who come here already know what the church in the Purple Horde Khanate is like.
"But there is a problem here." Heroine Jeanne pointed out: "You don't acknowledge the story of Moses, so why are you still doing this burning bush memorial?"
"It's nothing. If we don't recognize them, we still have our own." Tuohuan seemed to have thought of this for a long time: "Besides, our miracles and image are much better than theirs. Think about it, everyone likes it Crazy old man still likes sacred and beautiful girls."
"That's right." Theodora suddenly became wary again and looked at Guo Kang: "Everyone must like this kind of holy and noble woman."
"You are also this kind of woman." Guo Kang quickly comforted her.
Theodora shuddered and was speechless for a moment.
"Don't take it too seriously, Master Wang. He mainly wants to show off his skills." Seeing this, Tuo Huan quickly helped his brother out: "He just wants to find an opportunity to show off his tricks..."
Lama Wang just laughed and had no objection to this.
"To tell you the truth, old man, I do have this idea." He said truthfully: "Originally, this magic was a bit risky. I didn't dare to let the princess' daughter personally take risks, so I didn't teach her. But with Mr. Guo With Brother Tian’s Holy Light Lamp, it’s much easier to create effects, which really makes people tick.”
"With a little preparation, we will definitely have very good results if we perform at night." He promised: "It would be a pity if we miss this opportunity."
Little Jeanne herself was very enthusiastic about this, and others did not object much.
Although the cultural level of the Great Lama Wang is not as good as that of his predecessors, his magic and juggling skills are the best among the past patriarchs. Guo Kang still remembers that when he was a child, one of the greatest pleasures of his friends was watching him perform magic tricks.
The scriptures say that Brother Tian has the ability to walk on water. Lama Wang said that although his qinggong was not as good as Brother Tian's and could not "float on water", he could light candles in the water. This kind of flame that goes against common sense is also Brother Tian's miracle and is very popular with everyone.
As a result, Guo Kang understood the principle of this thing after watching the performance. And this also convinced Lama Wang that this boy was a genius and must be cultivated well.
He didn't care about being exposed, but felt that this was a good opportunity to end it. As the number of performances increases, sooner or later this routine will be recognized by everyone, and when the time comes, it may be even more embarrassing if someone turns up old scores. But by using natural philosophy to explain it, Guo Kang can maintain its divinity and give everyone a step down.
Natural philosophy is also a way given to mankind by the Heavenly Father to approach God. It is also a way to understand the origin and embrace the divine. Through the study of natural philosophy, understanding the principles of miracles and reproducing them means that this research has been recognized and blessed by Heavenly Father, allowing Him to grant more rewards to mankind, allowing miracles to remain in the world.
And if natural philosophy develops to a certain extent and all kinds of miracles can appear at will, wouldn't it be the real kingdom of heaven on earth?
This is obviously a very sacred act, and of course it needs to be encouraged and publicized. After all, this is what the church itself does.
The Great Lama Wang even believed that senior clergy could be systematically trained on how to "do magic" using natural philosophy. Only when the church masters these methods can it use practical actions to convince the public in this era of declining faith.
Especially after Guo Kang's lights and projections were completed, he used his rich performance experience to make various plans ambitiously.
To this, Theodora could only acquiesce.
"How many plans have you prepared?" She still couldn't help being curious and asked.
"In fact, there are not many." Guo Kang said honestly: "Not all miracles are suitable for performance, especially the stories of many saints. The template is too single."
"I read the story of St. Catherine, and it's the same. She accused the emperor of persecuting believers, and then argued with the emperor. The emperor and his subordinates couldn't resist her, so they began to try to persecute her." He also picked up the booklet and read. Get up: "The process of persecution seems to be the same as being beaten. There is nothing too special. It is said that halfway through the beating, the emperor suddenly came to propose again. I don't know what the logic is..."
"Moreover, there are many contradictions in this process. She was able to break the wheel directly, and an angel applied medicine to her. However, later the Roman officer drew his sword and executed her, and the angel disappeared again, and no sword was broken. I don’t know what this plot means.” He put down the booklet: “Why is it not working now?”
"The sword is an iron thing. To break the sword with bare hands is not just a matter of practicing kung fu." Heroine Jeanne pointed out.
"Heavenly Father and the angels suddenly stopped helping halfway. It was probably because she started to duel with humans and gods." Tuohuan speculated: "Heavenly Father could protect him when people bullied him before. If you want a fair duel, you can't be partial. , after all, we in Rome are also a country recognized by God.”
"As for the result... the Roman officer was obviously very skilled. Although the saint tried her best to duel with him, she was unable to defeat him in martial arts and was killed by the officer." He judged: "This kind of result is an admission of defeat. People win with their own skills. Yes, so Heavenly Father also approved the result and did not punish the emperor and other participants."
"...It seems that this is the only way to explain it." Guo Kang couldn't think of a better explanation, so he nodded.
"As for the other parts, I think it's completely ridiculous." Tuo Huan shook the book: "Look at this icon, a crown was painted on her, and she was said to be a princess; but elsewhere in the book, it is said that she is a princess. The governor’s daughter. Why is the governor’s daughter also a princess?”
"If these records are true, I suspect that she might not have been killed because of her religious beliefs, but because of rebellion." He shook his head.
"Those don't count. Most of the early saints were actually village girls. Later, they were enriched by the church and forcibly added a noble status." Guo Kang said: "For the real upper class, religion is just a tool. Used to attack the enemy. Okay, so much work is completely unnecessary.”
"That's true." Tuo Huan thought for a moment and said, "I've read a lot of biographies of saints these days, and I feel like these people all follow the same routine."
"No matter where the saint or saint comes from, they have to directly confront the Roman emperor who appears out of nowhere, debate the scriptures face to face, and render the emperor and his philosophers speechless. After being slapped in the face, they have to refuse the other party's attempts to win over them. , maintaining a proud posture until the emperor became so angry that he was killed and martyred."
"You have discovered it too." Guo Kang nodded: "And you also know that many places have their own saints. There are thousands of martyred saints and saints in total."
"If all this is true, it would explain the decline of Rome." He calculated: "The emperors were not doing their jobs all day long, running around the empire every day, confronting various village girls... If there were no problems in this country , that’s weird.”
