Chapter 49: The Origin of Nestorianism

(Many thanks to ‘Shihu Xiaoyu’ and ‘csn69’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)

Pu Chi, Pu Chi!

After Changsun and his son chanted this Confucian saying that Wang Junlin had never heard of in unison, almost at the same time, they each spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Dharma King Bodo looked at this with a solemn expression, and sighed in his heart: "Chinese Confucian scholars all pay attention to cultivating a noble and upright spirit. Every great Confucian must have a noble and upright spirit and not be disturbed by external forces or foreign teachers. Changsun Sheng is just that. He has such a noble spirit.

After raising his righteousness for most of his life, it is reasonable to think that he is stronger than Dugu Moyu. However, his son Zhangsun Wuji is only twenty years old, and his awe-inspiring righteousness has reached this level. This son must be extraordinary. Such a person.

If you become a believer of our religion, you will definitely become a sharp sword for our religion to invade the Central Plains of China."

Wang Junlin pretended to be infatuated and admired on his face, but in fact, what was going on in his mind was completely different from the others. Thirty-six pairs of jade arms and pink legs that dazzled like ruby ​​​​under the firelight had disappeared for a long time.

, but the extremely tempting and chaotic images were still in his mind.

Perhaps Bodo Dharma King himself didn’t know that. Apart from the role of religious spiritual hypnosis and faith guidance, his dance was purely an extremely obscene and obscene dance. Wang Junlin believed that his will was as firm as steel and his self-control ability was extremely strong.

But at this time, he was truly beguiled by the beauty. He felt his mouth was dry and his mouth was dry. Looking at these thirty-six girls, a kind of greedy evil fire was brewing in his lower abdomen.





"Suppress the infidels, defeat the rebels, root them out, and seize everything they have! Riding on the infidels' horses and using their beautiful women as your pajamas and cushions is the greatest joy of a warrior..."

King Bodo personally sent Changsun Wuji and Changsun Sheng to rest. The thirty-six dancing saints had also quietly left. However, the Turkic people's bonfire party did not end, and even reached its climax and continued.

This is a song that Turkic warriors like to sing the most. More and more Turkic people join in the singing, clapping their thighs and beating the time, while singing loudly, and the big bowl full of wine is brought up.

In the hand, as soon as the song was finished, everyone shouted and drank.

The young Turkic girls ran to the bonfire one after another, bent their arms and legs, and danced happily around the bonfire like beautiful little horses. Zhou Hu and other Sui soldiers present seemed to be surprised by their abnormal behavior just now.

They didn't realize anything, and they didn't even notice that Changsun Wuji and Changsun Sheng had passed out and were sent down to rest. They just felt that such a cheerful and unrestrained scene was rare, so they let go of their robes and started drinking happily.

Wang Junlin is the only sober person among all the people, including these Turks. At least Wang Junlin thinks so.

Worried about others discovering his specialness, Wang Junlin did not dare to visit the eldest grandson and his wife now, but he was not worried about their safety. King Bodo could use today's religious methods to try to make the eldest grandson and his wife become Nestorian believers, but

With both of them vomiting blood and being injured, there would never be any disadvantage to them.

"The Heavenly Dharma King is supreme, and my lord Nestorius is the lord of all lords." Wang Junlin has been thinking about what Dharma King Bodo said before. He vaguely felt that he had heard the name Nestorius somewhere, but it was just that

I won't be able to remember it for a while.

What Wang Junlin didn't know was that Nestorianism really existed in history. According to historical records, Nestorianism, Manichaeism, and Zoroastrianism together formed the three major religions in Persia at that time, which were popular in Central Asia. They were officially introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty.

Nestorian Christianity, also known as the Assyrian Church of the East, is also regarded as the earliest Christian sect to enter China. It once flourished in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty and built "Cross Temples" throughout the country, but most of them were composed of non-Han people.

Believe in.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, issued an edict saying that "Persian monk A Luo Ben came from afar to offer scriptures and teachings to the capital" and ordered that a temple be built in Yiningfang in Chang'an City, where 21 monks were educated and allowed to preach.

.

Tang Gaozong also protected it. At that time, the Chinese also called Nestorian Temple the Persian Temple. At the beginning of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, Nestorianism was criticized, but thanks to the efforts of priests such as Luo Han and the protection of Xuanzong, it did not suffer misfortune. In the fourth year of Tang Tianbao

Xuanzong ordered it to be renamed Daqin Temple.

Moreover, Nestorianism made a lot of reference to Buddhist concepts when it evolved in China. What is more interesting is that the authors of the four gospels were all called "Dharma Kings": Matthew was the Dharma King of Mingtai, Luke was the Dharma King of Lujia, and Mark was the Dharma King.

Moji is called Dharma King, and John is called Dharma King Yuhan; the church is called "monastery"; the archbishop is called "Dharma King"; the priest is naturally called "monk". The name of God is "Tianzun" according to Taoist rules.

As a result, Nestorianism has developed smoothly in China for nearly two hundred years, and together with Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, it was called the "Three Yi Religions" of the Tang Dynasty.





Just when Wang Junlin was secretly thinking about Nestorianism, Wang Junlin suddenly saw the Turkic woman who had entered their tent to deliver a roasted whole lamb.

At this time, the woman was carrying things between the seats and looking around from time to time. Wang Junlin felt that she might be looking for him.

Not long after, when the woman brought another plate of food to Wang Junlin and his friends, Wang Junlin quickly turned aside and whispered a few words to Jiang Mulang. Jiang Murang immediately grabbed the Western Turkic warrior who accompanied them and held it.

He picked up a big bowl and competed with him for wine. The Western Turk man was drinking very happily. When a Sui man competed with him for wine, he laughed wildly and couldn't help himself. The two people stared at each other as if they were about to duel. You

I drank one bowl after another, and soon the Turkic warrior forgot about Wang Junlin, who was like a stuffy gourd.

Seeing the woman carrying the plate and handing the food to the tables with several cases, getting closer and closer to him, the woman finally found Wang Junlin, her eyes lit up, and when she was about to say something, Wang Junlin suddenly

He stood up, deliberately swayed, and said to Jiang Murang and the Turkic warrior next to him: "I...I'm going to go for a while. Where can I go?"

The Western Turkic warrior understood what he meant, laughed, pointed behind him casually, and said: "Go there, or in that direction, and find a secluded place. As long as it's not in front of someone's tent, no one will care.

You, hahaha..."

"Thank you warrior." Wang Junlin nodded, turned his eyes, winked at the woman, and walked away from the crowd. The woman glanced left and right, and followed quietly.

The bonfire party was very lively. From time to time, someone would leave to go to the toilet, or a man and a woman would go to a dark and hidden place to do something blissful. Therefore, not many people would pay attention to the people walking away, even if someone saw Wang Junlin and the woman in front of them.

Once he left, he would probably just secretly laugh at Wang Junlin's ruthless appetite, as he could even "eat" an old Turkic woman in her forties or fifties.

Wang Junlin and the woman quietly disappeared into the night one after another. Then Wang Junlin saw a very beautiful girl. She was wearing a beautiful dance costume and a silver mask on her face. She was probably worried about catching a cold.

Compared to when she was dancing just now, she had an extra sheepskin robe on her body.

When Wang Junlin saw this girl, his heart skipped a beat, because this girl was one of the thirty-six saints of Nestorian Christianity.

"You can leave. Tomorrow you take your son and take the opportunity to escape while shepherding sheep. When you get to the leader of Ashina, there will naturally be a witch doctor to treat your son, and he will also reward you with tents, cattle and sheep to protect you.

Safety." The girl glanced at Wang Junlin thoughtfully, then turned around and whispered to the old woman next to her who brought Wang Junlin over.

The old woman immediately left quietly with a lot of gratitude. The girl's words were naturally told to Wang Junlin, because through these words, Wang Junlin already understood the girl's identity.

Obviously, this girl is a spy planted among the thirty-six saints by Ashina, the enemy of King Hado and Tong Yehu Khan. As for why King Bodo was so shrewd that he did not discover it, and why the girl, as a saint, is not a saint.

If he is a fanatical follower of the religion, that is beyond what Wang Junlin can know.

There are many miraculous things in this world. Although there are few people with great abilities, there are still some. King Bodo can use a dance and a song to make people become Nestorian believers. How can those who can become his opponents have such abilities?

Worse than him. And Wang Junlin can keep himself sane through a blood jade, why can't this girl do the same thing through other means? Of course, it is also possible that the girl, like Changsun Wuji and his son, has his own

Firm faith.

After coming to this era, as he came into contact with more and more talented people, Wang Junlin secretly told himself that he could never underestimate anyone. So he only had the above ideas after he judged the girl's identity, but when the girl accepted

After he came down and said a word, his expression changed drastically and he could no longer maintain his calm state.

"My little girl, A'duo, has met Lord Poison General." The girl smiled and bowed to Wang Junlin.

After Wang Junlin's expression changed, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, but his eyes were still like daggers and lightning, staring at the girl, but the girl was not afraid and looked at him calmly, and said: "General, there is no need to doubt my

Identity, if King Bodo doubts the identity of the general, given the reputation of the general, even King Bodo will come to test the general personally instead of sending a little saint over."

Wang Junlin remained silent. He really suspected that this girl was sent by Bodo Dharma King to perform a show in front of him. The purpose was to test him. But when the girl said it, he realized that in Bodo Dharma King's territory,

There is no need for people to test him. Pretending not to know his true identity, killing him is the most correct choice.

After all, killing the deputy envoy of the Sui Dynasty might lead to a war between the two countries, but killing an ordinary military attaché accompanying him and then causing an accident would have no impact on the marriage between the Sui Dynasty and the Western Turks.
