Chapter 317: History and Mythology
Yes, it was at this time that Jerusalem experienced a thousand years of war, destroyed by Babylon, occupied by the Persians, and the Jews had been under oppressive rule, but they had not given up their faith until the Romans came to Jerusalem, and the policy was more relaxed, allowing religious freedom, and Judaism was restored. β
Xiao Lu asked, "So Jesu still really has this person?"
Fan Yang nodded and said: "Yes, he was a carpenter at the beginning, he was born in a stable in Jerusalem, and he only began to preach at the age of thirty, but he soon had a certain influence and many disciples, but unfortunately, he failed to become big, and was sentenced to death by the Romans and crucified. β
Yang Mei said: "Didn't you say that she was persecuted by the Jews?"
Fan Yang said: "How to say, this is a very controversial issue, first of all, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, betrayed Jesus, and after being arrested, he met with the Roman governor, who was originally unwilling to sentence him to death, but the Jews below were angry and demanded the death sentence. β
Yang Mei said: "Jesu is also propagating God, propagating Judaism, why do the Jews still persecute him?"
Fan Yang's face was a little strange: "Because he claims to be the son of God." β
"The preacher of the past, like Moses and even Muhammad later, only claimed to be God's messenger, servant, able to communicate with God, to become a prophet, and he directly declared himself the Son, and called himself the Messiah, the Messiah, the Messiah, and the result is conceivable, the Jews did not recognize his identity as the Son at all. β
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, but inside the small carriage was talking and laughing, and the distance between Fan Yang and Sugihara Kyoko was getting closer and closer.
Xiao Lu asked beside him: "What about Muslin, you said that it also developed from Judaism, what is going on?"
According to the understanding at the time, Jesus's teachings were contrary to Judaism, the God of Judaism was angry, and even launched a flood to destroy the world, and would punish people, but the God preached by Ji Du was true, good, and beautiful, omniscient and omnipotent, put an end to killing, sang the praises of love and kindness, called for equality for all, and aimed at building a beautiful and harmonious society, this starting point was absolutely good, so it was very valuable, and more and more people believed, after the death of Jesus, his disciples became more and more influential, and it spread rapidly in Rome, and deified JesusIt is said that Jesus was resurrected on the third day after his death, ascended to heaven on the fortieth day, and was a trinity with Godhead, and believed that Jesus had the same status as God, which was called Jidujiao, and more than 300 years later, it was designated as the state religion by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I, and since then it has developed day by day. β
"What does that have to do with Mousselin?"
This is another story, to talk about another place, Arabia, another two hundred years later, at this time the Jidu religion, has covered most of Europe, but the Arabian Peninsula, is still in its infancy, and the Arab world at that time, is not as developed as Europe, still in the city-state and tribal era, relatively backward, ignorant, complex beliefs, until the 6th century AD, in the Arab world appeared a great man, Muhammad, he was born in a city-state in Saudi Arabia, Mecca, originally a wealthy family, but his father died, the family was in the middle of the road, 12 years old for people to herd, 20 years old soldier, participated in the four years of warHaving accumulated a wealth of military knowledge, he began to do business at the age of 25, leading caravans to Syria and Palestine for a long time, where he was exposed to Christianity and Judaism, and gained an in-depth understanding of a series of God's teachings. β
From then on, Muhammad began to think about how to change the religious chaos of the Arab world, often retreating in caves to enlightenment, until he was 40 years old, he began to preach officially, tidying up, and preaching the teachings of God in Mecca, he claimed that while meditating in the cave of Hira, Allah sent the Archangel Jibril to appoint him as the messenger of God, the spokesman of God, and became a prophet, because he was not the first prophet, and there were Arab Han, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, but he proclaimed himself to be the last prophet, emphasizing his legitimacy and importanceγ β
"Why do you come to this set? Xiao Lu smiled.
"It's inevitable. β
Kyoko Sugihara asked again, "Is this prophet really a person too?"
Fan Yang said solemnly: "Of course, and he is a great man, his career is much more successful than Jesus, and like Jesus, when the preaching has a certain influence, he was also persecuted by the local sect, but he was not arrested, but moved to another city with his followers, Medina. β
So there were two holy cities in the Arab world, the first holy city of Mecca and the second holy city of Medina, and after arriving in Medina, life was also very difficult, and they were still excluded, and they had to live by robbing caravans, so they began to be armed, and they became more and more powerful, and in March 624 A.D., the Prophet Muhammad led 300 men and robbed a caravan in Mecca, causing Mecca to send an army of 800 men to suppress the bandits. β
"The result?"
As a result, the regular army of 800 people was defeated by 300 people. β
"Are they so powerful?"
"Fierce is not afraid of death, you say that it is not powerful. β
"What happened later?" asked Xiao Lu again.
Then it was officially developed, and several large tribes around Medina were wiped out in succession, and they grew in the wilderness to the point of confronting Mecca head-on. Three years later, Mecca could not sit idly by, and sent an army of 10,000 men to suppress the bandits again, this time uniting the city-states of Medina to form an alliance, but unexpectedly, it still failed. β
"Are they so strong?" asked Xiao Lu.
"It's so tough. β
"Didn't they come to Medina, and why did Medina attack Muhammad?"
Fan Yang shrugged his shoulders: "Or because the Jews in the city, at this time, either believe in God or Jesus, because they refuse to recognize the identity of the prophet Muhammad, and another reason is that Muhammad called on believers and tampered with the direction of worship. β
"After the withdrawal of the 10,000 troops of Mecca, the Prophet was angry, and in a fit of rage, he led his army to take Medina, and lost the support of Mecca, and Medina was vulnerable, and after the city was broken, the Jews in the city suffered terrible revenge, and all the adult men were killed, and from this time on, they had a grudge against the Jews. β
Yang Mei knew a little about these things, but she had never understood them in such detail as Fan Yang, and asked in surprise: "Why are you Jews again?"
Fan Yang smiled: "I don't know, but the fact is that the Jews founded Judaism and spread the Sect of God, but they deeply offended the two major schools of thought, which led to an even more tragic fate for the Jews, the Crusades, but the most famous is Germany, and the conflict with the Arab world has been inextricably fought until now." The conflict has been going on for more than a thousand years, and it is not known when it will be over. β
What happened to the Jews in World War II is well known, and they are silent.
After the capture of Medina, with real territorial development, Muhammad's army could no longer be stopped, led an army of 100,000, captured Mecca, established the Arab Empire, and the major tribes and city-states were surrendered, and finally completed the basic unification of the Arabian Peninsula. β
After speaking, several people couldn't help but applaud.
Xiao Lu said: "I have seen it for a long time, it is really that sentence of the eternal romantic characters, full of romance, in fact, the wisdom of the ancients is still quite amazing, right, sometimes I feel that the current people are not as good as the people of the past." β
Fan Yang said with a smile: "It's really romantic, but it's suspenseful, but if you think about it carefully, it's like that, and many stories have also been processed by later generations." β
Yangmei was in the front row, but she didn't think so, and interjected: "It's better now, the current technology is not something that ancient people can understand, and people who made great achievements in ancient times can't work in modern times, because of science and technology, no matter how smart the ancients were, for thousands of years, they didn't even invent a bicycle, or don't blindly worship, what do you say about this kind of thing today, just listen to it." β
Fan Yang applauded lightly: " Well said, but history still has to be respected, science and technology, far richer than mythology, and history, is far more exciting, these mythological content no matter how circulating, but there is no concept of a mobile phone, not even TV pictures, only limited to nature, but human achievements, or remarkable, I think that under the conditions of ancient times, personal quality and comprehensive ability, more important, mixed in ancient times, to modern times, there is also a place for him, do not understand the technology what's wrong, he will use people, high emotional intelligence is really high, people who create history must be extraordinaryγ β
When Yang Mei heard this, her eyes flashed, but she said, "It's just that you have a lot of crooked truths." β
"Sister, my name is philosophy. β
Kyoko Sugihara leaned closer to Fan Yang again: "You seem to know everything." β
Fan Yangtian said shamelessly: "I also studied in the UK, and I know a little bit about foreign history, it's normal, you have this atmosphere and hobbies in that environment, and you just like it." β
Hearing the word liking, Kyoko Sugihara's face flushed again, and she only felt satisfied to sit like this for the rest of her life, and asked, "Then what else do you like?"
I like you...... , Fan Yang almost blurted out.
But fortunately, he is not a frivolous person by nature, so he still restrained himself: "I like a lot, singing, dancing, reading books or something." β
Kyoko Sugihara couldn't help but be disappointed: "Is there anything else?"
"Does having a dog count?"
"Well, what about the rest?
"Money. β
Sugihara Kyoko's little action, how can others not know, she likes Fan Yang almost everyone knows, but now at this point, the people around her dare not make fun of him.
Yangmei snorted and laughed, and Xiao Lu pretended to be stupid next to her.
Sugihara Kyoko slapped Fan Yang on the shoulder angrily: "It's equivalent to not saying, is there anything else?"
"That's not right what you say, who doesn't love money?"
"I don't love it. Kyoko Sugihara said.
"That only proves that you are not short of money, say you don't love money, it is impossible, and you will have nothing without money. β
Sugihara Kyoko shook her head, her thoughts flashed a lot in an instant, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Fan Yang, and whispered: "If it were you, even if you didn't have any money, you wouldn't." β
"I'm not the same. β
"It's different, what about love?"
Fan Yang couldn't help but laugh.
The wind outside the window howled, but it was always maintained at an acceptable level, from time to time there was sand blowing on the glass, slightly cold, Emilia in the front row could not understand Chinese, did not know what was being said, holding a blanket to listen to Fan Yang's chatter, and after a while, she fell asleep with her head tilted, and Yang Mei took off her shoes and sat cross-legged in the co-pilot, sharing a blanket with Amilia.
The three people in the back row, sharing a blanket, feeling each other's temperature, young men and women, still so close, were already extremely ambiguous, and they actually involved the topic of love.
The words were all fed to his mouth, but Fan Yang bypassed and asked, "What time is it?"
Yang Mei looked at her wrist: "It's more than a little." β
Fan Yang stretched out his hand and wiped the glass, it was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything outside.
Kyoko Sugihara is a girl after all, and she doesn't dare to continue to dwell on this issue.
The silence for a moment made the atmosphere a little awkward, Fan Yang relaxed a little, put his feet in front of him a little, half lay on the backrest, and pulled the blanket to his neckline: "I hope the wind won't be too strong, I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, so I will rest for a while." β
I'm really tired after talking for so long.
As soon as the topic stopped, Xiao Lu on the left hand side had already fallen asleep, and snoring sounded slightly.
Fan Yang is also really tired, but what are you kidding, Sugihara Kyoko also half lay down, the two of them were close to their shoulders, and the fragrance of their hair was on the side of their noses, how could they sleep.
Just closed your eyes and pretended to sleep.
The heart is also at war with heaven and man.
I can't wait to be bold, so I will take her into my arms.
I tried a few times, but I still couldn't muster up the courage.
After a while, Kyoko Sugihara's little head was tilted, but it was resting on her shoulder.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
An unprecedented throbbing, a feeling that had never been experienced before, spread in this dark carriage, and it felt like people were about to melt.
The hand groped for a moment in the seat, and Fan Yang knew where Kyoko Sugihara's hand was.
The two of them touched their fingers.
The tentacles are cold, but they are unforgettable soft.
Kyoko Sugihara shuddered all over, her head shrunk into the blanket, the heartbeats of the two seemed to overlap at a frequency, and a feeling that she couldn't tell whether it was happiness or what filled her whole heart, shocking, and the others were indescribable.
Fan Yang subconsciously withdrew his hand, but the next moment, Kyoko Sugihara held Fan Yang's hand tightly.
There was no word for a long time.
The two of them were immersed in this first feeling.
When I got used to it slowly, I was finished, and I had adhered to the superiority for so long, and I didn't think about who I wanted, so I was taken down by a girl.
