Chapter 065, creepy
Walking into King David's study, Canglong saw classics from all over the world, and they were all original texts, not compiled Hebrew versions, and the entire study occupied much larger than the living room of this villa, and some places even needed a special book ladder to go up.
It is roughly estimated that there should be more than 100,000 volumes, and King David is holding a thick book and looking at something, the ancient atlas is marked with a big name "General History of the North American Continent", and the author seems to be an unknown guy, but King David looked at it with relish, even if Canglong walked in, he just buried his head in the book and said lightly: "You are back, sit down." ”
Canglong did not do as he was told, but wandered around under the shelves, he looked at the ancient texts, and casually turned out a book, which is the holy book of Judaism, called "Torah" in Jewish language, but in fact it consists of the first five books of the Christian Bible.
Unlike the common Bible, this Jewish holy book has only two triangular hexagrams, also known as the Star of King David.
Judaism is one of the oldest sects in the world, and although it is not as widespread as the three major religions, it records the oldest secrets in the history of mankind, especially in the history of the Western world.
"Can I flip through it?" Canglong didn't look through it immediately, but asked the old man's opinion, because he knew that no matter how familiar the person was, he still shouldn't rummage through things in someone else's study in the end.
"I don't think you have a faith, do you?" King David looked up, "and you're welcome to become a Jew." ”
"It's okay to fool ordinary people with religious texts, do you still want to fool me?" Canglong shook his head, but opened the contents.
For an ordinary person, faith is a very important thing, and in this era, the public has tended to look at the things in mythology in a rational way, so faith is just a kind of spiritual sustenance, which can give people an invisible spiritual power in a sense, and can exert some unimaginable abilities when encountering certain difficulties.
Of course, this power is not as mysterious as it is in science fiction, but faith is indeed essential for most people in this world, especially ordinary people.
However, for a killer like Canglong, faith is not so important, in Canglong's own words, he believes in himself, his own ability, and his own vigilance, because for him, faith does not reduce the danger when he performs his mission, but makes him feel comfortable, and comfort is the most terrible thing for a killer.
Therefore, even if Canglong reads this book, he only has the idea of reading it, and he will not be attracted by the content in it, because his belief is far stronger than the content in the book can bewitch.
In Judaism, they did not agree with Jesus, because Jesus was a mortal man, and his status could be the same as that of ancient Chinese saints, such as Lao Tzu and Confucius.
However, Judaism reveres God, and God is the only Lord.
After a long while, King David carefully put the book in his hand back to its place, then took off his glasses and said, "How is it, are you interested in becoming a Christian? I can be your priest and help you hold the ceremony." ”
Hearing this, Canglong also put down the book in his hand, shook his head and said, "For a killer, he is God, why should he believe in a nihilistic god?"
"No, no, no. No matter how firm your belief is, you will also encounter some mental contradictions, for example, you are now in a trance, it seems that since the death of Princess Merlin, you have changed a lot, some people think that you have changed her, but in fact, she has changed you. King David smiled and said that it was not because the dragon had blasphemed God by honoring himself as God.
Standing in their class, the mode of thinking has long been close to the substance, so no matter what they believe in, they are unswerving, but they have a rational attitude, and they will not be as crazy as ordinary people.
"What you say, how reasonable. Canglong didn't care, "How do you Judaism view emotions?"
"I can't say how Judaism looks at emotions, I can only say how everyone looks at emotions, for me, emotions originate from **, in most orthodox teachings, people will not be taught to advocate **, especially your major sects in China, Confucianism and Taoism, these two sects have their own dogma of abiding by **, so Chinese are the strangest people in the world, not lacking wisdom, but abusing wisdom. King David said.
"Do you indirectly mean that we Chinese are abusing emotions?" Canglong asked rhetorically.
"You are not a traditional Chinese. King David shook his head, "I like the words of the Chinese Taoist sage, the saint does not die, and the thief does not stop." ”
I also like this sentence very much, but unfortunately after this sentence came out, it was not recognized by the mainstream society in China. Canglong nodded.
"As a saint, to be able to say such things is, in Buddhist parlance, a great enlightenment. King David commented, "And no saint recognized by the world has such an understanding, and there is no one of the greatest saints in Chinese history." ”
Hearing this, Canglong was not surprised that King David, as a Jewish, worshiped a Chinese saint, and it was precisely because he worshipped a Chinese saint as a Jew that his rationality and wisdom appeared, and in Canglong's eyes, blind worship was the most stupid thing in the world.
And the saint does not die, the thief is not only This sentence predicts the development of the entire human civilization, this sentence means that when the saint dies, there must be countless people who steal the words of the saint to fool the people.
Throughout the history of the world, whether it is China or Western countries, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or Christianity, Judaism, etc., these religions have produced many saints, but after the saints founded the religion, countless people quoted scriptures, distorted these doctrines, and led the world into fire and water, feudal emperors used to rule the people to imprison their thoughts, and academic sects used to spread doctrines, admit believers, and consolidate their status.
The most famous of these is the Crusades in Western history, which were actually to spread Christianity, and the Chinese feudal emperors used the words of saints to imprison the minds of Chinese for thousands of years, making people blindly worship and fall into madness.
And Zhuangzi's words, predicting future changes, read through the Chinese sect classics, Zhuangzi's words are the simplest, but also the most simple, he can always use a simple example, detailed one avenue after another, and even Zhuangzi has a sentence, never recognized by the mainstream of feudal society, because it is too vulgar, he said, the Tao is drowning.
Therefore, Zhuangzi, a sage, in the society at that time, can be said to be a person with extremely advanced thoughts, what is a saint? Because their thoughts can always be ignorant by the words of their predecessors, do not blindly follow each doctrine, but create their own new ideas, and can even predict the future, this is a sage.
Throughout the rise of any sect, the saints of most sects appeared in this posture, whether it was the Buddhist Shakyamuni or the Christian Jesus, they were mortal bodies, and they became saints after going through tribulations, and their ideas were also not accepted by the ignorant masses at that time.
"Any religion that plays with the wisdom of the people will one day be replaced by the world after the wisdom of the people is opened. After being silent for a long time, Canglong said a word.
"The saints never taught us to play with the wisdom of the people, but only stole the words of the saints, distorted the meaning, and consolidated our own interests. King David agreed, but disagreed, "And you are wrong, no religion will be replaced, because there are always people who believe in them, even me." ”
"We've been talking about religion for a long time, and now you should give it to me. Canglong didn't dwell on this topic.
"What I'm going to give you has something to do with religion. King David said, walked to the book ladder, took out a book from the bookcase on the fifth floor, and handed it to Canglong, "Everything you want is inside." ”
Hearing this, Canglong took the book and opened it and read it, this is a real American history, and the reason why it is said to be a real American history is only because it is completely different from the American history that ordinary people see.
Half an hour later, Canglong said strangely: "What are you doing with me this?"
"Do you see the brotherhood inside?" asked King David.
"Hmm. Canglong was a little puzzled, "What exactly do you want to express?"
"Most of the invisible people in this world are related to religion, in ancient times, the killer was not called a killer, but an assassin, the killer is just a modern name, and the invisible man is a product of religion. King David said.
"How much do you know about the Assassin League?" Canglong asked suddenly.
"Assassin Alliance!" King David frowned, "I can only tell you, don't rely too much on their power, because one day they will let you return, even if you become a free killer, you will not be able to get rid of them." ”
"Why?" Canglong wondered, "Does the League of Assassins have anything to do with the United States?"
"Yes, almost all of the oldest religions in the West can be related to the United States, the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War have the shadow of religion behind it, and in fact, the founding of the United States is not a liberal and democratic independence, but a real religious war. King David said calmly, "And the origin of any war in this world can be summed up in two words." ”
But when anyone hears this, their face will change, because this sentence is really shocking.
"Benefits!" Canglong said coldly.
"Yes, interests, you only know the interests of the country and the country, the interests of people, but you don't know the interests between religions and religions, in fact, the world you see is only on the surface, I can tell you that if Hitler won World War II, he would have gone to the Vatican to accept the coronation of the Pope, and would not have committed any blasphemy. King David said.
"So, is the Invisible Man cultivated by religion?" Canglong wondered.
"They are the product of the failure of the cultivation of religious assassins, so even religion cannot control them, strictly speaking, they have no humanity, they are not human at all. King David looked at Canglong, hesitated for a moment, and said coldly, "Actually, before you met Merlin, you were the same as them, but your process was the opposite of them, but it is predictable that you may ...... in the end."
"Are they the same?" said the head of the cang, once creepy at a word......
