816 Magic Change
Coming out of the Faculty of Physics, we only crossed a small road to the Faculty of Theology of Xuhuisung National University.
— or not the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Theology, which are just two separate buildings on a lawn, separated by a path. With these two buildings as the main body, there are also some ancillary facilities and buildings scattered around the lawn. The lawn is surrounded by flower-budding shrubs, and a wide road surrounds it into a single ensemble. In fact, the students who come and go here also regard it as a unified place, for example, the poster of the previous lecture simply wrote the address of the lecture as the South Lawn Physics Building.
Gu Hanhan was deeply shocked by the fact that a university had openly placed the School of Physics and the School of Theology side by side—this was even inferior to the Beacon Star! At least in the Beacon Star, the temple is the temple, the university is the university, the monastery of theology and the physics school of the university have always gone their separate ways, and even the Acropolis can't do anything like this!
But Leos was unimpressed: "What's this? There are many places in the depths of the galaxy where physics is theology itself, and like Xuhuixing, which is simply put together, and can give you a name for physics and theology, it is already very enlightened and open—it's all retro-open." ”
"Open?retro?" This made Gu Hanhan stunned, and he really couldn't imagine that he could still hear these two words in his lifetime.
"What's all the fuss about," said Leos, "you just don't go out too much, so you don't know." Physics may have a broader scope in a place as civilized as the Beacon Star, but in the Milky Way it was a time when field energy reigned supreme. In such a climate, physics is actually equivalent to energy physics, and when it comes to energy physics, the end of it is theology, isn't that already recognized? Physics is equal to theology, is there a problem?"
Absolutely.
Gu Hanhan couldn't find anything to refute, so he had to shut up. After a while, I couldn't help laughing at myself and said: "When I was in Beacon Star before, I always felt that the place was selling dog meat with sheep's heads, and the so-called light of freedom was actually the darkest of him, and it was so dark that Beacon Star has become a beacon of freedom and enlightenment......
"So what do the seminaries in the Physics School study?" she asked, "Where did the miracles, the faith, and the God shrouded in truth come from and where will go?"
"Hell knows. Leos muttered before he said, "In a place like Xuhui Star, the Divine Sect Headquarters has never been able to talk about any actual control. Of course, the gods of the universe are everywhere, and the Temple Cult will definitely be there, but I don't know what it is packaged like here. But no matter what, there will always be records and images about the gods and religions of the starry sky. ”
In this way, Gu Hanhan also roughly understood why Leos chose Xuhuixing National University as the first place to investigate here. According to the political rules prevailing in the Temple Age—and even the Glory Star is within this common rule—miracles, superpowers, and patrons are the religion of the Trinity, united by the belief in the gods of the universe. Then, when you find the object that a local religion is pointing to, the "messenger" who shelters here, then it is equivalent to finding the superpower ruler who actually controls the place.
Compared with those who go straight to the sanctuary of unknown power, the university's seminary is obviously a much easier and safer option, and it will not attract too much suspicion to explore here, so it will not get into unnecessary trouble in advance. And if you can't find any clues here, then there are also Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Arts, and Faculty of Social Sciences in the National University, and since "God" is everywhere, the messengers who walk on earth in place of God must always leave clues in these places.
"It's supposed to be open for tours, right?" she said.
Of course, this is not a problem, the Theological Faculty of Xuhuixing National University is open to the public, and the open part is basically the same as other colleges, mainly the library of the college and a exhibition hall used for visits, but it is about the reason that there are too many people who come to exchange pilgrimages every day, and to enter the library of the seminary, you need to have an identity letter issued by the church, and you also need to make an appointment in advance to visit the exhibition hall, if you exceed the number of people on the day, you will not be able to enter. In addition, behind the seminary, there is a small chapel, which is built for the teachers and students of the school to meet the needs of the faith.
Gu Hanhan decided with the simple thought of a senior scholar that until the last resort, he would never run to the library to flip through the materials, and it was possible to consider visiting the exhibition hall, which should be simple and effortless, but it was difficult to make an appointment, and I didn't know which day the appointment would go without looking for a little way. However, the guide patted his chest and promised that even if he didn't make an appointment, he would definitely be able to let them see it today.
So, when Gu Hanhan and Leos were talking, the guide didn't know where to run. When he came back a moment, he already had a small red flag with gold feathers and lace in his hand.
"The international students sent by the various star regions of the alliance happen to arrange a unified visit to the academy today, and we can go in with them. ”
As he spoke, the guide took out two badges that were also in the shape of gold feathers and gave them to Gu Hanhan and Leos, and asked them to bring them separately, saying that they were the emblems of church trainees, and then took them to the exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall is located on the first floor of the seminary, and there is a door on the side of the college building that opens to the outside to directly enter the area. At this time, some people had gathered on the steps outside the door, most of them were very young, and they were not wearing divine robes, but they were wearing the kind of gold feather style badge on their chests, which should be the international students mentioned by the guide. They stood in twos and threes, standing near some people with red flags, and they didn't seem to know each other well. The guide waved a small flag and brought Gu Hanhan and Leos over, and they joined in very smoothly without arousing anyone's suspicion.
"Absolutely," explained the guide, "there are nine stars in the Rising Sun Alliance, and these students are new to the world, who can know whom? Even if they are from the same planet, they are recommended by different churches and seminaries. Two more people and two less people, you can't find it at all. ”
Sure enough, after them, several groups of international students with golden feathers and small flags joined one after another. Not long after, a man dressed in a deacon's black robe came out and took them into the museum.
The exhibition hall is circular, surrounded by painted relief frescoes, and below is a stand with holy relics, manuscripts and statues. The black-robed deacon served as a college counselor, a tour guide for the exhibition hall, and a church evangelist, organizing international students to visit and explain the scriptures while quoting scriptures. Gu Hanhan was confused, mixed in with it, and after listening to it, he knew that the name of the Temple Sect in this place was called the "Church of Light".
But there are and only so many. The local accent of the black-robed deacon's lingua franca is too heavy, and there are long passages of quotations from scriptures in the explanation, using some ancient Japanese language that I don't know - the so-called "I don't know" means that what he said could or should have been, but I don't know what it sounds like bird language. Gu Hanhan really didn't know which halfway monk the deacon learned this "church language" from a halfway monk, or if he was simply self-taught, all in all, his ancient Germanic language Gu Hanhan couldn't understand a word.
Fortunately, Leos is a generalist, and his talent in language is even more like a hanging, listening to bird language is like a native language, Gu Hanhan can rest assured that this part of the investigation, reasoning and solving the case will be handed over to him, and she herself can free up her hands to do some work within her ability.
The so-called work of Gu Hanhan is to study the murals on the surrounding walls. Compared with the profundity of artifacts and the natural power of bird language, the threshold for mural painting is much lower. There is a history of mankind and there is a religion, and there is a history of religion and there are murals, and all religious murals basically follow a principle for the purpose of preaching, which is simple and easy to understand. Regardless of aesthetic sentiment, whether you are illiterate or not, it can be said that as long as you have eyes, you can see. And Gu Hanhan is not illiterate, she is a person who has read the genuine "Sacred Code" and held a banquet under the dome of the Pantheon, just by virtue of this, her theological insight and vision are unmatched by everyone in Xuhuixing.
The murals at the Xuhui Star Seminary are clearly derived from the Holy Law and are in line with the Templar style. The statement in the mural that the god of the universe descended to the world and blessed the world is completely consistent with the basic doctrine of the temple cult, which is enough to explain the relationship between the branch and the main trunk of the light sect and the temple cult here. But in the Sect of Light's interpretation of the reality of the cosmic god descending into the world, there is obviously a magic change. Here, the concept of "saints" disappears and is replaced by a new image of the "children of light". The Sect of Light claims that the cosmic gods are merciful and universal to all sentient beings, so they sprinkle the power of light on the galaxy to fight against evil. These powers of light condensed into a womb, born in human form, awakened and became the spokesperson of "God" in the world, the child of light.
In the mural of the seminary, there is a frame that clearly depicts this event. The huge eyes of the god of the universe, who represents absolute power, overlook the world above the sky, and her gaze finally falls on a newlywed couple, so the divine light shines, and the light descends and envelops the couple, who are pregnant. Then conceived in October, the young couple gave birth separately, and each gave birth to a god son, who is exactly the same twin. Then, with the growth of the Divine Twins, the innate divine power contained in their bodies gradually awakened and grew stronger, and finally broke away from the human body and protected the world as the embodiment of the light power of the cosmic god.
This is obviously a kind of regression, or backwardness, which is equivalent to the direct deification of the supernatural person whose attribute is still "human" in the temple doctrine in one step. Here, with the blessing of the god of the universe, and the absolute power she descended on the universe to become the messenger of the gods, the one who guards the world in place of the god is no longer the "man" of the original life, but directly the "son of God" conceived by the incarnation of absolute power. If it is in the central area near a star field under the direct control of the Templar Sect headquarters, this interpretation is tantamount to heresy. As for the concept of male birth in the mural, around 2,500 years ago, after research confirmed that artificial reproduction blocked the inheritance of superpower genes and awakened, it was already directly heretical in the temple cult.
"A variant of the First Night, a social custom that existed widely from the late Galactic Age to the mid-to-late Imperial Age between 1600 and 2300, still exists in many parts of the galaxy. For example, the wedding of Xuhui Star is still the same today, and the newlyweds spend the first night in the gospel room of the church, and then the next day at noon, the celebratory drinking party. ”
Leos walked up to Gu Hanhan at some point and said to her, "Let's go, go to the holy hall in the back and have a look, you should gain something." 166 Reading Network
