Mr. Liu was very young, he wore a green silk robe with a jade-colored silk lining, and wore a headscarf that scholars often carve, and Deng Yuhan could not distinguish the names of these various headscarves, so he collectively called them "headscarves". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Mr. Liu's appearance is undoubtedly very kind, he has a pair of small but very smart eyes, even if the right eyelid is a little drooping, it does not affect his radiance, he has a thin face, a high nose, lips are not thick or thin, there are two dimples on both sides, it is very obvious when he laughs, he has a beard on his chin, but not long, and there are some subtle hairs on his face, indicating that he is only in his twenties.

There is no doubt that the leader of this student movement is a very young but charismatic man, and his smile has dispelled Deng Yuhan's previous suspicions about him.

When he arrived, Mr. Liu had arrived early, and was having a good conversation with Father Fitchgui, and beside him sat a handsome young man, who stood quietly and listened to the conversation between the two, perhaps his servant. They sat on the Taishi chair made of Huanghuali and enjoyed the Biluochun provided by Sun Yuanhua's parishioners, looking very happy. Feeling late, Deng Yuhan said with some apologies: "Hello Mr. Liu, I am Deng Yuhan, a faithful servant of God. ”

"Hello, I'm Liu Xu, a person from Songjiang Mansion and the leader of the Eunuch Movement." Surprisingly, he spoke Spanish.

Yes, the veritable, uncompromising, and distinct Spanish language that can be clearly distinguished as long as you are not deaf, although the grammar and pronunciation are slightly weird, but the thought that this is a Ming Dynasty person, or a Ming Dynasty person who is famous for his pride and seclusion, can be completely ignored.

"Lord, this must be the manifestation of the Lord's will in the East! You speak Spanish! ”

"And a little bit of Latin." Liu Xu said another paragraph of Latin, although it was not good, but it was Latin after all.

"Oh my God!"

"I can also recite a little bit of the Divine Comedy—" As if being surprised wasn't enough, Liu Xuyou recited a passage of the Divine Comedy.

Although he still had some grammar and accent problems, he was engrossed in his recitation, and his expression was solemn, and if it weren't for his yellow skin, black hair, and long shirt, he would have been a college student studying literature in an Italian university!

"You, where did you learn so many European languages?" Deng Yuhan felt that he had exhausted all the surprise back on him, and he asked in a hoarse voice in a tone like a countryman entering the city.

Father Fei Qigui seemed to have been surprised, so he just looked at Father Deng Yuhan with a smile and did not interject.

"I once studied your language with a foreign scholar, he is from the United States of America, but it is not long, only less than a year" Liu Xu's voice had a little sadness in it, and there was some sadness: "He died after teaching me, so I only know that his hometown is in Colorado, USA, his name is Johnson, and I don't know much about the rest." In this paragraph, he said Chinese, and Deng Yuhan could understand it, after all, he had only studied for a year, and it was already very good to be able to say it like this.

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this country, is it located in Europa?"

"Perhaps, but they're Protestant."

"Oh-" Deng Yuhan didn't know how to answer for a while, for him Protestants are all heretics, although they will not be tied to the stake and burned to death, they will definitely not talk more than half a sentence. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You, are you Protestant?" They are all heretics! ”

"Protestant? No, I don't like Protestantism, I think Martin Luther was a bastard and I think Calvin deserves to be burned at the stake! As for the heretics who claim that the earth revolves around the sun, they should all be burned at the stake! Liu Xu's remarks were radical, but they were also in line with his status, as he had just led a group of young people to destroy a well-built architectural work of art.

Deng Yuhan was overjoyed: "If there are more people like you in China, the glory of the Lord will definitely be better implemented!" ”

He was very happy, and since he came to China he has been treated with indifference and ignorance, and the people of this rich land of the East seem to be concerned only with the Four Books and the Five Classics and eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and not only knowing little but also being indifferent to the true faith. Deng Yuhan had tried many ways to arouse the local people's passionate faith in the Lord, but now there is a person who is very interested in Jesus Christ, how does this make him unhappy?

What's more, he thought Protestants should be burned at the stake!

"Do you know anything else about the Lord?" Deng Yuhan asked cautiously, he decided that the influential scholar in front of him was a knowledgeable and sympathetic Catholic, and he could not afford to lose such an ally, so he tried his best to be cautious, for fear that the wrong sentence would provoke Liu Xu to walk away.

"I, I know a lot-" Liu Xu suddenly changed to a vicissitudes of life and tired voice, which seemed to swim all the way from the long river of history, and then walked up to the river bank at this point in time, with water vapor, with dust, with the thousands of years of endless years along the way: "I have seen six days of toil and one day of rest in the century of creation, I have seen Adam and Eve naked in the Garden of Eden, I have seen the excitement and anxiety of poisonous snakes tempting them to devour the fruit, I've seen the power of the Lord's flames in his commands, and I've seen the disagreement between the Jewish kingdom in the eighth century B.C.E. when the earliest Scriptures were recorded—one of them wrote the code of Yahweh, calling his god Yahweh, the other writing the code of I, using the older name of God, elohim, and I have seen God instruct Moses to use gold, silver, bronze, purple ornaments, violet shades, things that are red or crimson, fine linens, goats' hair, I've seen the sheepskins and the magnificent palaces of the gum arabic, I've seen Aristotle and Plato trying to explain the meaning of God in terms of metaphysical philosophy, I've seen Christianity go from repression to revival in the Roman Empire, I've seen the drifting away from Greek Christianity and Latin Christianity, I've seen the dust of the Crusaders' expeditions, I've seen the blood under Jerusalem, I've seen the greedy face of the Pope when he sold indulgences, I've seen the lamentation of heaven and earth when Martin Luther split Christianity – as for who I am" His voice was distant and vicissitudes, like an epic song that had been sung for thousands of years, and like a stone tablet left over from the time of Gilgamesh. At the end, Liu Xu sighed faintly and ended his speech: "I, I don't know who I am. ”

Deng Yuhan sat on the silk cushion of the Taishi chair, he didn't know what to do, his mind was blank, his thinking was all disordered, even the scholars who had joined the society of the best scholars in Europa could not understand the scene in front of him. After a long, long time, as if it had been the creation of the world, he turned his head slowly and looked at Father Fitchgui, who was worse than he was, like a crappy stonemason's carved marble statue, and could not give any valid answer.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Deng Yuhan could easily feel the dryness of his language and the weakening of his momentum, and he could even taste the endless fear and trepidation in his trembling tail note—no one, no Oriental, had ever known so much about the Church, let alone about ancient Christianity, something that even the Pope might not have known.

And he knows it all, knows it all!

Who is he? What is he?

Is it an angel or a devil? Is it a servant sent by God, or is it simply the human incarnation of the Infinity?

"I said, I don't know who I am!" Liu Xu's expression was a little painful, a little happy, and a little anxious, and he began to repeat a passage: "I don't know who I am, I know every part of your history, I have witnessed the birth and destruction of each of your saints, I can see far away, as far as the day when the rain of fire and the coming of Michael will come, and on that day, the righteous will ascend to heaven and the unrighteous will fall into hell, I know all of these things, I know them all—but I don't know, I don't know who I am!" ”

"So, please don't ask again!" Liu Xu hung his head down vigorously, looking depressed, like a general who had suffered a defeat, and like a rich man who was rich enough to rival the country but had no heirs to inherit the wealth. The young man beside him looked anxious, massaging his master's head while glaring angrily at the two servants of God. He seemed to attribute his master's abnormal behavior to the evil magic of the two, and shouted loudly: "What kind of magic did you use to make my master like this? Let me tell you, my master is the heavenly Qu Xing descended to earth, all evils are not moved, all laws are not invaded, if you are the one who has eyes, quickly collect the magic, and you can leave a whole corpse! ”

"You, you're wrong, we didn't do anything-" As he was speaking, Liu Xu waved his hand: "Jun'er, it has nothing to do with him, it's because the teacher is a little unwell, Father Deng, please continue to speak." ”

Deng Yuhan didn't know what to say, should he continue to ask? The other party obviously doesn't know who he is. Should I move on to something else? But the other party has more knowledge than him, I don't know how much, why should he humiliate himself! Should I preach to him? But if the person in front of him is really who he guessed, I am afraid that I am not qualified to preach to him at all!

The priest, who was known for his great knowledge and intellect, sat in his chair, and the tongue that had been so dexterous that it could convert the most stubborn stone head was completely useless. He had never been so helpless as he was now, even when he encountered a giant bear in the forest as a child, he relied on his intelligence to escape—and even if he encountered a giant bear, he had never been so afraid and helpless as he was at this moment!

"So, Mr. Liu Xu—no, no matter who you are, may I ask you, what is the purpose of your coming to our church?" This cautious question was made by Father Fitch, who at this time showed a concentration and thinking ability that he had never had before.

"I am the one I can answer to help you in your mission." Liu Xu seemed to have recovered, and he said softly with a hint of a smile.
