Yang Lin shook his head and enlightened: "Mr. An, you don't like what you say, how can you say that everyone else is the devil?"

Before hearing about you Western masters, we scholars have believed in Confucius for more than 2,000 years, and these Taoist priests have believed in Taishang Laojun for more than 2,000 years.

Why are these devils here for you, Mr. An, I am good for you, don't say these words, it will cause public anger. ”

Everyone nodded yes when they heard it, and some even bluntly said that this An Siwen had gone crazy.

Ann Siwen was embarrassed and defended: "This brother, as a servant of God, I dare not deceive you, as the Bible says. ”

Yang Lin smiled and looked at the people behind him: "Everyone, the first thing to say is that this Mr. An is quite arrogant, what kind of priest he calls himself, what kind of servant of God he calls himself, and he actually calls me a brother at such an old age, so modest, he is embarrassed to be in the middle."

Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that Brother An is still a kind family, but the God of faith and the Bible are a little paranoid. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and everyone bluntly said that since Pangu opened the world, there are many people who have attained Taoism, why are there only two enlightened people in Xihe Niuzhou, Jehovah and Jesus?

Answen retorted again and again, claiming that God, Jehovah, Christ Jesus, is the only true God.

Yang Lin didn't care, and after the other party's protest was completed, he said: "Brother An, all of you in Xiheniu Prefecture believe in your God Jehovah, your Christ Jesus, is there anyone who does not believe, and what if you don't believe?" ”

An Siwen's face was quite gloomy, and he spread his arms for a long time to introduce the West to burn more infidels at the stake and burn them alive with fire.

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, and everyone bluntly said that the people of Xihe Niuzhou were too barbaric, and they couldn't be burned even if they had different beliefs.

In Xihe Niuzhou, a lot of people who have attained Taoism were burned to death, and the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism coexisted like China.

Some even bluntly said that the Oriental people were too civilized, and they only threatened the Western missionaries, and at most they would fight a lawsuit, but they still had a lot of respect for the missionaries themselves.

An Siwen was red-faced, anxious to argue, and repeatedly said that Europe is not barbarians, and that Europeans are as rich as China, and the country and the people are safe.

In order to prove his point, he took out a letter of recommendation from Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and boasted that Matteo Ricci had a close relationship with Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar.

Yang Lin smiled and arched his hand: "Brother An, I don't know if you people in Xihe Niuzhou are barbaric, as the saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and when the rebellion of the Liukou is quelled in the future, I will send someone to visit you in Xihe Niuzhou." ”

Answen was very happy to hear this, although there were missionaries to Daming, but so far no Chinese went to Europe (well-known), if there was that Middle-earth person to go to Europe, it would be beneficial for him to preach.

Yang Lin expressed his gratitude and continued to ask, "Brother An, what is the benefit of believing in your God Jehovah and in your Christ Jesus?" ”

An Siwen frowned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Jesus Christ came to the world to be crucified in order to understand the salvation of the world, to atone for the sins of the world, as long as you believe in the only god of the world, God, Jehovah, Christ Jesus, will forgive his sins at the end of the world." ”

When the crowd heard this, there was an uproar, and some people said that since Jesus was the Son of God, how could he be crucified?

Some bluntly said that this Jesus had no power and could not even escape from the cross, what kind of immortal was it?

An Siwen defended repeatedly, everyone quarreled, Yang Lin smiled, looked at everyone and shook his head and said, "Everyone, I understand."

Although Taoism is the native religion of Middle-earth, it has transformed into a hundred schools of thought, which is broad and profound, but the knowledge of Taoism allows everyone to cultivate the Tao and become immortals. Taoist priests just help people exorcise ghosts and gods in the world and keep them safe.

Buddhism, on the other hand, teaches people to do good deeds and become rich and prosperous in the world.

And this Christianity tells people to be judged from the eighteen layers of hell after death, don't you see? ”

The Void Dao Chief nodded and said, "What Young Master Yang said is exact. ”

Yang Lin arched his hand, looked at the other party and said, "Daoist, please think about it, this Buddhism and Christianity all tell everyone about illusory things after death.

Whether a person dies and goes out, whether a person is reincarnated after death, and whether a person goes to the eighteen layers of hell to be judged by a judge after death are all illusory things, and it is difficult for ordinary people in the world to predict. ”

The Void Daoist seems helpless, and his morality is like this, and he is quite vain.

And An Siwen and Huineng quit, and they all claimed the so-called evidence, which made everyone's ears feel sick.

Yang Lin entered the church this time just to get in touch with Western missionaries and rationalize some deviant things in the future.

And An Siwen saw that although the other party was a pagan, he also respected himself quite a lot, and he wanted the other party to be converted and baptized.

Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Yang Lin had to use the method of agitation, first saying that Jesus' resurrection was nothing but a vain thing, and that it was even more vain to avoid judgment after death, and then the church actually burned some people who had attained the Tao to death, and said what heresy and heresy were said.

The more he tried to defend himself, but the more he was portrayed, the darker he became, and in order to prove that Europe was not a barbaric place, he came close to telling what he had seen and heard.

For example, if the Chinese house is not well repaired, it needs a minor repair every three years and a major repair every five years, while the Westerner house has dug deep into the foundation for hundreds of years and still does not fall.

It was said that the accuracy of European mathematics once shocked the scholars of the dynasty.

It is said that Westerners have developed machinery, and four-wheeled vehicles are distributed in the streets and alleys, traveling hundreds of miles a day.

It is said that the Westerners developed their navigation technology, and the navigators crossed the ocean to open up colonies.

It is said that Westerners are sharp in firearms

……

What was opposed was nothing more than Western doctrine, but it had a good understanding of Western technology, and many things could be said as soon as they were spoken, and their ability to understand them was unmatched at that time.

Although I knew something about my previous life, I was still impressed by Western civilization in the mid-seventeenth century.

For example, the Westerner four-wheeled carriage is not only more advanced than the Oriental single-wheeled car, double-wheeled car, and large car, but also has a steering device, compared with modern cars, the biggest change is just to replace the horse with an engine.

There are also Western-style houses, which are no different from modern houses, with stronger foundations and longer houses than those built in the East. At that time, the Chinese first leveled the foundation and then built on it, while the Westerners dug the foundation, so that the house could be kept for a hundred years.

……..

Of course, An Siwen was impressed by Yang Lin's knowledge, and many of the proud philosophical and natural science knowledge were quickly understood by the other party (of course, there was a pretense component, and many natural sciences were far above the other party), and he was a rare mentor and friend in Middle-earth, but the other party's so-called conversion to Christianity, baptism, and such a thing was cleverly avoided.

And after talking with An Siwen in detail for two days, although he had nothing to say, although Yang Lin kept ridiculing the other Westerners for being too barbaric, imprisoning Galileo and burning to death the highest, this is really not a civilized person's behavior.

In my Ming Dynasty, I respect scholars, the government established county schools and prefectures in the local government, and the imperial court established Hanlin to worship scholars, so that they can study with peace of mind, and excellent people come out to be officials, and govern the world and the country.

Even in the people, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the rich family has a lot of wealth, but in the eyes of the reader, he is just a mercenary businessman, and he stammers with the reader.

Under the world, from the emperor to ordinary officials, there are a few people who dare to despise scholars and persecute scholars (Zhu Di has been scolded for hundreds of years by the ten clans of filial piety) and cannot raise their heads.

Although on the surface it ridicules Westerners for being barbaric and uncivilized, they also admire the level of Western scientific and technological development and the rapid progress in the future.

Leaving from Fucheng on this day, An Siwen also came to see him off, and Chen Huaixi shook his head next to him and said: "Ruzhen, this Westerner is so vain, don't have a deep friendship with the other party." ”

Yang Lin whispered in his ear: "But from my observation, this missionary is still quite honest, and everyone thinks that the arrogance is mainly due to the Bible.

In my observation, the European civilization, the prosperity of the people, and the economic development that they say are not below us. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then patted each other on the shoulder, and said to each other that they cherished each other.

took Wu Dazhu on the road in a hurry, and the whole person was quite comfortable along the way.
