"What's wrong? Who made our young master angry? Why do you look like you're so puffy? Seeing his son running to the deck in a huff, Zhao Weiji hurriedly asked.

"It's not the gentlemen, they have to say that there is only one god in the world, and that is their Allah Allah. I told them that there was still the Jade Emperor in the East, and Sun Wukong, but they didn't believe it, so they had to say that I was talking about heresy of paganism, and then we quarreled. ”

It turned out that the cause of this incident was that Zhao Teng accidentally asked when he asked the group of gentlemen: "Have you seen Sun Wukong?" I heard my dad say he's amazing. ”

That group of scholars has never heard of Sun Wukong, let alone that group of Arab scholars, even the Great Song people of this era do not know Sun Wukong.

The reason why Zhao Teng knew Sun Wukong was because Zhao Weiji told Journey to the West as a pillow story to several of their sisters and brothers.

However, because the role of Sun Wukong is too charming, it left a deep impression on Zhao Teng's heart, and there was a legend of the monkey god in the Central Plains, so Zhao Teng believed that there was really a god like Sun Wukong.

Because Zhao Teng believed that Sun Wukong existed, when the scholars asked about Sun Wukong, he introduced Sun Wukong to the scholars vividly, hoping to get the recognition of others, but he didn't expect that he was immediately interrupted by Arab scholars when he said that Sun Wukong became a god in heaven.

In the mythological system of the Central Plains, or in the mythological system of Journey to the West, there are many gods, none of which are omnipotent, and these gods all perform their own duties. Thus forming a theocratic system.

But this is in complete conflict with the religion of the scholars, in their religion. There is only one God, and that is Allah.

Allah is the Almighty One. No one else alive can compare to him. They all recognized the existence of only one god in their own religion, let alone the gods of other religions, and there were still so many gods at the same time.

So, the scene in Zhao Teng's mouth happened before.

After listening to all the ins and outs, Zhao Weiji smiled, and then comforted his son: "They don't know Sun Wukong because their god has not fought with Sun Wukong, and in Sun Wukong's eyes, their god is too weak to be worthy of Sun Wukong's action."

And their gods have not seen much of the world, and they don't know that there are other gods. That's why his people don't know about the existence of other gods.

So don't worry about that, but don't discuss the gods with those gentlemen in the future, and it's not getting early now, so you might as well go back to the cabin and rest. ”

After listening to his father's words, Zhao Teng nodded, and then walked back to the cabin by himself.

After seeing his son return to the cabin, Zhao Weiji also fell into deep thought, because he saw a hidden danger from this incident that could become trouble in the future.

This is a clash of cultures, especially beliefs.

Conflict of beliefs is often a troublesome affair. Especially in a land where there is already a faith, there is the intervention of a new faith.

And the belief system in China was originally a little confused, Buddhism, Taoism, and ancestors. Emperors, even Confucianism, which was originally a school and later evolved into a religion, and Islam, which had begun to infiltrate the Central Plains.

However, Islam is mainly active in the northwest. It has not yet entered the Central Plains, so there is basically no trace of Islam in Xinhua City, which is basically composed of immigrants from the Central Plains.

But now it's different. Once this group of scholars entered Xinhua City, in addition to academic research. It is necessary to proselytize. And now there are signs of it.

Now on the ship, the group of scholars collectively bows and prays in the direction of Mecca at certain times. And after their prayers, some of them often had to go to the crew to give a sermon.

Although their preaching did not play a role in the crew, it did not mean that they would not be successful when they arrived in the city.

Once they are allowed to build a mosque, it will be a bit of a problem.

To be honest, Zhao Weiji doesn't like Islam very much, they are a bit overbearing, and they are not conducive to his future governance of the city.

So he could not allow these scholars to continue preaching, or to preach against Allah.

But this kind of thing is not something that can be banned if it is banned, and it is easy to offend these scholars if it is forcibly banned, which makes Zhao Weiji scratch his head a little.

Just as Zhao Weiji was scratching his head, a person walked out of the cabin, this person was one of the group of Arab scholars, whose name seemed to be Saudi Arabia.

This man is very strange, although his name is Saudi, but he does not look like other Arabs, but a bit of a European flavor.

And he is a student of Abdul-Jabbar, so he can also speak good Chinese, and Zhao Teng is communicating with him many times during this time.

Seeing that Saudi Arabia came to the deck and was polite, Zhao Weiji greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Saudi Arabia." ”

"Hello, Your Excellency."

"It's very windy now, I wonder what happened when Mr. came to the deck?"

"Back to Your Excellency Lord Wang, I came out to find your little young master Your Excellency Zhao Teng, just now he seemed to have been wronged because of a little dispute with my colleagues, and ran out alone, I just came out to see his situation."

"Oh, about this matter, Zhao Teng is fine, he has gone back to rest, and Mr. Lao is worried."

"Where, where. There is something wrong with our side in this matter, and here I apologize to the prince. ”

After hearing Saudi Arabia's apology, Zhao Weiji nodded, meaning that he had accepted the apology, and then Zhao Weiji looked at the sea again, because he was still in pain at this time, so there was nothing to say with Saudi Arabia.

At this time, Saudi Arabia suddenly spoke again: "Does the prince have something on his mind?" Is it related to what happened to the young master just now? Are you bothering Allah? ”

Saudi Arabia's three consecutive questions asked Zhao Weiji at once, and it can be said that Saudi Arabia's three questions completely guessed Zhao Weiji's mind.

Not only that, but the key is that Saudi Arabia has spoken a taboo, and that is that it is about Allah.

After asking this question, Saudi Arabia looked at Zhao Weiji, and when he saw the surprised reaction in Zhao Weiji's eyes, he knew that the answer to all his questions was yes.

"Don't worry, Wang Ye, in fact, I don't believe in Allah."

After Saudi Arabia's words were finished, Zhao Weiji was even more surprised, your name is Saudi Arabia, a typical Arab, actually does not believe in Allah? You don't believe and pray every day without interruption.

"Actually, my real name is not Saudi, my real name is Sokratis? Papastathopoulos, I am a Greek, and my true belief is in Greek gods. ”

"You're not a big cannibal?"

"No, the reason why I took the name of the Great Food and pretended to believe in Allah was because I needed to live and study in Baghdad, so I had to disguise myself as the Great Cannibal."

At this time, Zhao Weiji finally understood why this Saudi Arabia looked a bit like a European, he was a European.

"Don't you Greece have a wealth of knowledge? Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were all famous scholars in your country in ancient times, so why did you travel all the way to Baghdad to study? ”

Papastathopoulos didn't expect that Zhao Weiji would know their famous scholar in ancient Greece, so at this moment, he had a little more admiration for Zhao Weiji.

"I didn't expect the prince to know these three sages, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful. The prince didn't know that due to the establishment and division of the Roman Empire, a lot of our Greek knowledge was dispersed in the war, so that many things could not be found in Greece, but were collected in Baghdad, so I had to go to Baghdad to study. ”

"So so, since you see that I have trouble with Allah, is there anything you can do to help me?"

"Doesn't Wang Ye really want Allah to spread in the places under your rule?"

"Yes, you live in Baghdad and pretend to believe in Allah, you should know some of the characteristics of Islam." Speaking of which, Zhao Weiji didn't continue his words, because he knew that this Papastathopoulos should be able to understand what he meant.

"Lord Wang, I know what you mean, but what you want may not be so easy to achieve, unless you ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can convert them."

"Let them convert? How easy is this to say? If this can be done, I won't have to worry about it. ”

"Actually, this matter is not very difficult, I have learned in the mouth of the young master that there are some great gods in the East, as long as the prince can find a way to make these things in the East appear and deter those people, even if they can't change their faith, at least they can be prevented from proselytizing."

Zhao Weiji understood the meaning of Papastathopoulos's words as soon as he heard it, he was worthy of being a scholar who studied the Central Plains, not only did he have research, but he also knew the measurement of the Central Plains pretending to be a ghost.

As he said, Zhao Weiji could completely find a random god to rely on, let Hou make some tricks that were not easy to see through, and even use the more advanced knowledge in his mind to create some seemingly supernatural phenomena to deter this group of people, and it was possible that he could really prevent them from carrying out missionary activities.

"Thank you, sir."

"The prince is polite, this can be regarded as a little impression of the prince finding part of the library of Alexandria."

After thanking Papastathopoulos, Zhao Weiji returned to the cabin first, and he had to use this time to think about how to jump the great god to be foolproof, and then hit it in one fell swoop. (To be continued......)
