Four hundred and twentieth chapters heresy and heretics
Borrowing books? Naturally, it was impossible for the priests to say bad words to Ji Xiang. On the contrary, they were extremely happy to lend their own scriptures and classics to Ji Xiang for viewing and reading.
This is not because they are generous, but in a foreign country, they use the religions of other countries to package themselves in order to gain a more stable foothold. This is the way to live in the world. At the beginning, the priests came to the Ming Dynasty in China and used
He is still a Buddhist monk and claims to be a monk from Tianzhu.
At first, they wore the clothes of Buddhist monks, so that ordinary people would mistake them for ordinary monks and would not be hostile. Of course, in order to integrate with the local culture, they did not preach with great fanfare at the beginning.
Keep a low profile, after all, the first thing they have to do is try to win the favor of the locals.
However, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, the status of religion was not as high as in the Western Land. If you want to use the reputation of Buddhism to preach...it depends on whether Buddhism agrees.
The fake foreign devil still wants to pretend to be a bald donkey. Most Buddhists in Buddhism are easy-going and not blind. How can this foreign devil blatantly compete for incense?
In short, there were many problems. In the end, the Catholics changed into Confucian clothes, but Confucianism was not overly exclusive to these Westerners.
Therefore, the priests believe that whether other sects will be excluded and other religions will be suppressed in the future is a matter for the future. At least for now, they, the Catholic missionaries and priests in the Ming Dynasty, still think that they are inhumane and inhumane.
Damn little lamb.
Today's emperors believe in Taoism. If they want to spread their branches in an involuted place like Shuntian and vigorously develop doctrines and preach, they must establish a good relationship with Taoism.
"The land of Dongyue Temple was approved by the emperor to build a church, thanks to the real person Beiji. We have known your name for a long time. Matteo Ricci has told us that the book of God in the church can be read by the real person."
An old priest, who spoke Chinese very fluently, chatted with Ji Xiang and expressed his goodwill.
But Ji Xiang didn't know what they were thinking. He was very enthusiastic when he saw them. Although there were many sincere people among them, such as Matteo Ricci, the old priest in front of him was also sincere in his gratitude.
, However, among the priests behind him, some of them were hiding their knives behind their smiles.
After all, people are different from each other. The missionaries came to the East not just to travel and shop, but to have a so-called "sacred mission."
If you don't package yourself like a lamb at the beginning, then other religions will not accept you. As for when to tear off the sheep's clothing and become a hungry wolf, it depends on when their teachings can develop to influence the world trend.
After borrowing the books, Ji Xiang did not leave the Catholic church, but found a corner inside the church to sit and watch by himself. This made the priests start to whisper. They walked out of the church and immediately started talking outside.
Some people think that although Ji Xiang is a pagan, he seems to have a great interest in Catholicism.
Some people even think that this is a rare "good opportunity".
"Beijing Zhenren, in our holy religion, he should be regarded as a figure like a pope or a bishop, right?"
"It's a bishop, probably a cardinal."
In Christianity, the pope is the pope, the highest candidate, the "white bishop", and the next level is the cardinal, which is the cardinal.
In the eyes of the priests, Ji Xiang represents Taoism at Wudang Mountain. As for Taoism, on the surface, the common belief is that the supreme leader should be the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. This is currently the case.
As for the various sects in Taoism, including another Quanzhen Tao, in the eyes of the priests, there is no difference between the differences between God and the East. However, there is one thing that makes them confused, that is, the Zhengyi has gained the general trend.
Today, you actually didn’t go to encircle and suppress another Quanzhen Taoist group?
Why this is the case is really incomprehensible. Shouldn’t heretics be more hateful than heretics?
At least in Buddhism, there are still disputes between the Three Vehicles and the differences between Esoteric Buddhism and the eight sects of Han Buddhism, but Taoism seems like a group of salted fish, only guarding its own mountain top and not paying attention to external things.
How can such a religion be spread for thousands of years?
"Taoism is not very aggressive now. Although I heard that they had some fights with Buddhism in the past, it was a long time ago. If we can bring this black Taoist priest who is comparable to a cardinal to our Catholic Church,
camp, and even let him convert to God, then..."
"The way of my Christ, the way of God, can flourish in the Ming Dynasty and spread throughout the world."
The priest sounded excited, and the other priests also had bright eyes.
Pulling a heavyweight in one religion directly into another sect is an achievement that is astonishing. Similarly, if such a thing is successful, it means that their Catholicism has extremely high superiority, and they themselves are also in the right state.
On the right path.
This is like the shock of the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China, when the Confucian Qin Huali rebelled and became the second-in-command of the Mohist family. He directly betrayed his own teachings and doctrines and turned to identify with others. This was a huge blow to a sect, and
For another sect, it has extraordinary significance.
"Indeed, if this thing succeeds, then the Pope will also be satisfied with the result. He will not be too harsh on our missionary work. It has only been a few years since Hideyoshi Hideyoshi massacred the missionaries, and the Far East's acceptance of us has...
It’s still very low. After traveling thousands of miles, you can’t just die in this small church without doing anything.”
The old priest also spoke, and his words revealed his desire to achieve a great career, of course, that must be before he dies.
Ji Xiang, who was sitting in the corner, had already heard all their words.
"Do you believe in God? Yes, someone's magic is indeed unique, but what we are good at is making the best use of things and cultural integration. Although your things are very good, the next second they will be mine."
"It's the same as those books written by Matteo Ricci..."
Ji Xiang looked at some copies on the side. Although he said he wanted to see the originals as much as possible, it was naturally impossible for these missionaries to bring too many original scriptures from St. Paul's College in Haojing'ao. After all, that was the place.
From the base camp, what if the original documents were brought out and burned or fell into the water? For them, these were all transported from the West with great difficulty.
However, these Western scriptures have an advantage that Eastern scriptures do not have, that is, even the copies have wishes written on them.
This was discovered when I first met Matteo Ricci.
For Western missionaries, it is normal for copies to have wishes gathered, but for Easterners, this is a strange situation.
"The copy does not contain the author's hard work and energy, but it relies on extensive preaching to attract the wishes of all sentient beings and condense them on it."
One book, two books.
Ji Xiangdu only browsed through it briefly, but the contents were already engraved in his mind. With Ji Xiang's current cultivation level, he can have all kinds of thoughts running in an instant. It is not a problem at all to read every word in a few books.
.
On his fingers, white smoke kept rolling.
While absorbing the wishes and spells, Ji Xiang also put aside the books that had been used. Some of them were not completely absorbed, because they had to be "sacrificially sacrificed" soon!
"Instead of believing in God, it is better to observe all its methods and create a new method of God myself!"
"The true meaning of the three teachings, practice it for me!"
The first time to integrate the techniques of foreign religions is theoretically not feasible, because the true meaning of the three religions can only melt the classics within the three religions, including heresy derived from the three religions, such as the White Lotus Sect, and the magic formulas created can only be
Limited to the three religions.
Christianity is a purely foreign religion, without any trace of the three religions.
However, because Ji Xiang practiced Yu Qing Yin Shu, he had one more option - Heavenly Magic.
........
Outside the church, the old priest suddenly felt excited and looked around strangely.
"It's weird, I seemed to have sensed the power of the 'devil' just now? Is there a heresy in this faraway eastern land that is preaching here?"
