Chapter 65 Again

"Bo Fu? You're still alive,"

I looked at the man in front of me, obviously after a fight, and even pulled up a small group of followers, but the ingredients were a little messy.

"The owner, you haven't paid for it, so we're going to die so lightly."

He grinned, and the clothes on his body that didn't fit seemed to have been stripped and made up there, so he even wore a pink woman's dress inside, which looked a little funny.

"These are all companions who rushed out with me......"

The butcher in the dirty bib, the cook with a face full of meat, the beaters from the courtyard, the nursing home of the big family, the horseman of the trading company, the porter who sells coolies on the dock, and a dozen people from all over the world.

The guy in his hand has a large kitchen knife, a wood knife, half a door panel or something, as well as a long knife and a hand row, a half-spear and other weapons that were snatched halfway, and even a pot, which was carried on the back of a certain cook.

"I'm going to move on with the owner, and everyone will join hands and run for their lives, so that's it......"

Then he turned his head and said to these people

"The rest are scattered by themselves, and those who are willing to go to Jiangzhou with my host will come up by themselves."

As a result, most of them dispersed, and each returned to their hometowns or found a place to hide, and only a few people expressed their willingness to follow us to find a passport or something.

One of them, Zhang Daniu, a cook from Chunranju, Cui Butcher and his apprentice Yin Xiaoyan from Laoheng Street in Jiangning Yaoshifang, Qian Shuining, the porter head of Chunjiang Warehouse, and Mafu Yan Jiu'er are all typical low-level personnel who have nothing to worry about.

But the most critical and the most secure thing is undoubtedly Han Liangchen, or Han Shizhong, who promised to escort us all the way.

There is such a sword and horse skilled, the martial arts point to the master level, and the local attributes are accompanied by the wild martial arts, although it is a weakened version, but it is enough to correspond to most situations on the road. Coupled with Bo Fu and these followers, it can be regarded as a small group with considerable force.

Although the burden and consumption have increased, it also provides various conveniences, such as Zhang Daniu's ability to cook, Yan Jiu'er's experience in taking care of horses, and Cui Tuhu's master and apprentice's methods of handling wild animals and ingredients, all of which are useful.

And compared with Han Shizong, who is quite high-end in terms of background and vision, the minimum limit and requirements for recruiting peers and hiring them are much lower.

Although this half-accepted relationship still needs to be verified and examined by time and facts, I obviously have no other better choice, and I can only settle for it.

Probably because most of the nearby garrisons were transferred to Jiangning, we didn't encounter any obstacles, all the way down to the west, through Fangshan, Jiangyan, Liyang out of Runzhou, and then through Sui'an, Anji, through the same Jiangning military control of Huzhou,

Among them, in addition to spending money on the outskirts of the city to supplement some ingredients, and buying a new roof car for the red tiger to pull, it is really lackluster.

After arriving near Tianmu Mountain, our trip began to be delayed by the common rain in this area at this time, just like God's moody mood, the sudden rain from time to time not only filled the road with mud and water, but also made the people in the same group start to get sick.

Apprentice Yin Xiaoyan, at first had a simple cough, then became frequent, and at night he simply lay down with a fever, at this time there was a disagreement, and someone asked whether to leave him behind, so as not to delay the trip.

Then I followed the instructions in the barefoot doctor's manual and dealt with it briefly, and I was grateful to the butcher of Choi, and in the eyes of others, there was also a hidden increase in prestige.

If it used to be neutral - friendly, now it is at least a bonus to respect + mysticism.

The sound of the rain had drowned out the sound of us wading through the mud, and the sound of the large and small streams of the rain flowing at our feet, and the whole sky hung down as if it had been covered with a blue-gray cover.

Although he was dressed in a coat and linoleum, there was still no part of the inside that was dry, and I don't know if it was sweat or leaking rainwater, which was mixed together, making people wet and greasy and uncomfortable.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and this time the rain had been raining since yesterday and into the evening, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping, so we had to stop in the morning and find a place to shelter from the rain, dry our bodies and rest and eat, and replenish our bodies, otherwise the rest of the road would be even more difficult to walk.

What's more, Yin Xiaoyan's condition also began to recur, and the complaints appeared in their mouths again, and then Han Liangchen finally came back and brought good news.

It was a deserted building standing on a roadside hill, with remnants of mountain gates, torii gates, and short, gentle stairs, although most of them were buried in mud and washed out by the rain, and became extremely slippery, and they had to be cautious when they went up, and they would slip and roll down at any time.

This is a traditional Tang style building, with eaves and glazed eaves and a roof part divided into the middle of the green ridge, which can still be seen in its former glory

Although the appearance is no different from most of the temple buildings in the country, but when I saw the remaining glazed stickers and Tianzi windows, I couldn't help but sigh, this is undoubtedly a Jingjiao shrine commonly known as the cross temple,

It's just that this once glorious Nestorian shrine is full of traces of ruin left by fire and demolition. According to the impression I remember.

It should be the result of the fire at the city gate and the pond fish, because of the rebellion that swept the world through the Great Cloud Bright Sect, so even a large number of foreign missionary religions, including the local Jingjiao Shrine, were treated as chaotic parties and burned and destroyed indiscriminately.

It is simply because in the scriptures of the Great Cloud Light Sect, the heavenly incarnations of the savior in the past also include the imperial father Aroke (God) and the wild mouse (Jesus?). Great Sage.

In the rubble, only the last main hall remains, and there are still half-drawn pillars and tiled roofs to shelter from the wind and rain, but the droppings of birds and bats inside, as well as the ubiquitous cobwebs and thick dust.

Although it was still ticking and leaking, after temporarily isolating the wind and rain outside, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after the red tiger and the grizzly panda were pulled in, the sick pale Yin Xiaoyan was also put down.

The first thing is to start a fire, a handful of expensive oil-soaked charcoal as a primer, a few firewood burning on the fire, after illuminating the inner room, everyone also began to consciously divide labor in an orderly manner.

Ma Fu Yan Jiu'er fixed the ropes of the red tiger and the grizzly panda in the corner of the relatively dry and sturdy wall, and began to take out tools to scrub the mud and knots from their bodies, and soothe them, a kind of horror at the slight approach to the fire,

Zhang Daniu put his inseparable baby pot on the shelf, began to boil water and soup, and at the same time stacked the utensils that needed to be dried first next to the fire;

Qian Shuining, the porter, went out with a gust of cold wind, and soon came back with a large bundle of wood, although it was all wet, but after splitting it, it was still dry inside, and after being piled up and roasted, it was enough to burn for a whole day.

Although Cui Tuzi's master and apprentice have no task for the time being, after he put down his apprentice, he still took the initiative to take a branch as a sprinkler and sweeping tool, cleaned the ground and table, and then pried open the floating soil and mud blocks, revealing the stony ground below, and the felt can be spread as a sleeping place.

Bo Fu collected the wet clothes that everyone had taken off and hung them on a long rope, and used the broken table to squat and me behind something like a shrine, arranged a more private corner, and began to use a stick to inspect and sort out the places in the huge shrine that were not strong and broken enough, and then the bricks and tiles pressed against the tarpaulin to block it temporarily.

I also came to help with the work of squatting with my head in charge of sorting out my luggage, and it didn't take long for the three small tents around the fire to be set up.

During this period, Han Liangchen stood guard near the door with his weapon in hand, he looked at the rain curtain outside, and didn't know what he was thinking.

It didn't take long for us to drink the hot soup with sauce cubes and dried ginger slices, and the potato tubers and rhizomes piled under the embers also gave off a ripe burnt aroma.

I took a look at this religious place with great interest, full of multicultural blends. Through the gray light leaking through the broken tiles, you can see that on the thick pillars, like a couplet, this prayer in praise of the supreme and bright Emperor Oroko, that is, God, is carved.

"The way of truth, wonderful and difficult to name, the function is obvious......"

"Ming Jingjiao, the words belong to me Tang. Proclamation of the Truth"

People have well-being, but things are free from suffering. ……」

The broken and torn wall can still be seen. One of the chapters of the Gospel of Joy and Happiness (Gospel) written "Nestorianan Sanwei Monduzan",

There are even murals that resemble the Pure Land of Buddhism.

But it is the great sage of the West (Jesus?) that is depicted Or the story of Mi Shi Ha Puzun the great holy son who moved the rat, was born in the outer land, walked the wilderness to preach good and happy, and finally was framed by a traitor, died a tragic death and came back to life,

It's just that it's full of it, but it's a lingering smell of Buddha's nirvana.

On the other side, the story of an angel or a person who is called a pure tomorrow in the shape of a Dunhuang flying sky, under the leadership of the loving father and the son of the pure wind or the Holy Father and the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit, fights against the demons that represent the worst in the world.

Similar to the position of the Buddha hall and shrine, under the tattered curtain and gauze tent, there is a huge monument with a cross carving of the head of the ring, and there are still traces of incense and candles in the past, and the smoke and fire have been burned.

It's just that behind the cross stele, there is a similar ancestral hall, and the remnants of the god tablet are vaguely respected by the kings of the past dynasties, including Taizong, Gaozong, and the Queen of Heaven.

Worshipping the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and God together is the biggest innovation after the Tang Jingjiao was terried.

However, according to my memory as the moderator of the history of the old Japanese army, Jingjiao is a rather strange existence in Chinese history.

Jing means light, Jingjiao is the religion of light, and its predecessor is from the European continent in the third century, in the Ephesian synod of the Roman Empire, because of the doctrinal dispute between the five bishops of Christendom about the divinity of human nature, a major heretical sect that was jointly expelled, and the recognized ancestor is the former Archbishop of Constantine Nieberis, so it is also known as Nieberlis.

After being exiled to Asia Minor, it continued to develop eastward in the valley of the two rivers and became the Assyrian Church, one of which continued to develop eastward and spread to Middle-earth, and then became the Nestorian Church of the Tang Dynasty.

But the most famous of them is the so-called Dongyi Catholic Maronite, which lived in the mountains of Lebanon and has continued to the modern day, through the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties, and under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, they were also once one of the biggest opponents of the famous Lebanese Allah.

However, compared with the Persian Zoroastrianism, the Great Eclipse Kaaba or the Sassanid Manichaeism, the earlier fire and the later eastward spread to the east, but there are some other foreign missionary religions that are not adapted to the soil and water.

At the beginning of Jingjiao's entry into the eastern soil, it successfully walked through the upper echelons of Tang Taizong, obtained the edict of the Great Dharma King of Zhenguo, and broke the ban on Yijiao only in the settlement of Yi people, and obtained permission to build temples and preach in Tianxia Prefecture.

Because of its unsparing efforts to curry favor with secular rulers and localization, Nestorianism was once very fashionable, and it was very popular, and many high-ranking officials and nobles were among them.

It's just that in my time and space, Nestorianism was just a short-lived heyday in Chinese history, and then it was cleaned up by the Tang Wuzong extermination movement of the three martial arts and one sect of Buddhism.

But apparently in this time and space, the Tang Dynasty Jingjiao has developed into another result, in Western standards, it is a complete heresy, in addition to worshipping the name of God and the basic mythological worldview, other rituals and traditions have been adapted to the needs of the believers in Middle-earth.

Therefore, in the inland areas of southeastern China, there are also such large-scale deposits. According to another memory of my predecessor, in the Jingjiao shrine in the Lingnan area, even during the Chinese New Year, corresponding celebrations were held according to the reinterpreted ritual book, so as to compete with traditional local sects such as Shidao and other traditional sects for believers.

But there is one thing in common, that is, as one of the most significant symbols of the Eastern Church, there will be such a picture of the consecration of the three sages,

Although the artwork and narrative style are slightly different, the main stories depicted in the diagram are:

In the Great Sage of the West, the great sage of Mishhepuzun was conceived by his mother's dream, and was born in the stable, when the heavens will be ruiguang, the earth will be full of treasures, and there are three sages from the East, who will give him blessings and praises, and enshrine him as the title and authority of the saint of all beings, and lead and redeem the land of Tessy in the midst of ignorance and barbarism.

Of course, the shapes of these three sages can be seen at a glance, representing the power of Lao Tzu, Buddha and Zhou Gong respectively. The symbols they represent are also often used by Eastern believers to explain and illustrate the so-called trinity of the Father, the Son, and the King of the Pure Wind in the controversy.

I don't know what kind of mood and senses those Byzantines who have just gone through the colorful iconoclasm campaign and the prohibition of idolatry will be in the face of such a distorted reality.

Then I crouched behind the shrine with my head in my hands, and found some of the offerings that had clearly been burned by the fire, and then I was Spartan on the spot.

I actually saw a lot of symbols that obviously belonged to the malicious interest of the traverser, such as the Vajra Lux that was obviously in the shape of Optimus Prime and the Red Spider, under the Great Holy Throne of the Wild Mouse, in the Twelve Dharma Kings, there were actually gourd babies and Nezha shapes.

As for the Fallen Heaven of Lucifer, the Child of Light, it is even more embarrassing to draw it like a magical girl vs. a tentacle X-beast. On these offerings, there is a mark: Qingshan Houliang is just.
