Chapter 362: Dracula. Ben Slun (2-in-1, eat the soil, ask for a reward!) )
Grotesque, or eclectic theories, always attract the attention of irrelevant people, which in turn leads to criticism or praise for such theories. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This white man sitting across from Li Mu was very attracted to him when he heard the argument that the Bible is an epic poem that celebrates great love, and it made him curious.
He didn't just listen secretly, but sat up straight and said bluntly to Li Mu: "This gentleman, can you excuse me, I am very interested in your interpretation of the Bible, can you tell me to hear it?" ”
While speaking, the white man also pointed to the Bible in Li Mu's hand.
Li Mu, who was instilling crooked reasoning in his newly acquired servant Able, heard someone in the seat opposite him interrupting him, so he turned his head to look over.
The white man thought that Li Mu had misunderstood him, and also felt that it was rude to take the liberty of disturbing others, so he said very gentlemanly: "Sir, I apologize for my disturbance, I am just very interested in your interpretation of the Bible." ”
"Cultists?"
Li Mu took the opportunity to raise the Bible in his hand, he remembered that Europe has a lot of respect for the Bible, could it be that the white man opposite is a hypocrisy?
However, it seemed to be quite polite in the situation, at least, much more gentlemanly than all the white people he had met when he came to this plane.
"No, sir, you are mistaken, I am only interested in what you say, I am not a thorough believer in the Bible, although God is a great man." The white man shrugged helplessly.
"Well, as long as it's not a complete cultist." Li Mu put his mind at ease, as long as the white man opposite was not a believer.
Otherwise, it is not good to point at the bald man and scold the monk.
Because of what he said below, the Bible in his opponent simply subverted its beauty, and for the believers of the Bible, it could simply be classified as heresy.
Fortunately, this is not the medieval period.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Mu said: "Then, I'll just tell you, anyway, this journey is also boring." ”
There is no way, the speed of the train in 1858 is probably not as fast as that of an ordinary car in this plane.
"yes, it's really boring on this train." The white man nodded in agreement.
Li Mu smiled, looked at the Bible and said, "Let's not talk about the part of the Bible about God's creation, because this part seems to be separate from the others, but rather a ..... for the preparation of the birth of human beings later. ”
Separate the biblical chapters on humanity, which are what Europe calls the first generation of humans, Adam and Eve.
"The scriptures say that God created only one man and one woman, that is, two, but after these two human beings, Adam and Eve, were cast out of the Garden of Eden by God, the first generation of human beings on earth will be more and more."
"And how did these humans come to be?"
Looking at the thinking expression of the white man opposite, Abel beside him was also confused, Li Mu paused for a moment, leaving time for others to think.
There were no people here who were attracted by his words, the two cyborgs on the other side of the aisle.
"Sir, Abel heard old York speak the contents of the Bible, which says that the ancestors of the first human beings on earth were Adam and Eve." Abel said.
The white man sitting across from him also said, "Yes, the first generation of human beings was naturally bred by Adam and Eve. ”
"That's good."
Li Mu nodded in agreement and said: "Since this is the case, the first generation of human beings on the earth only had two ancestors, that is, Adam and Eve, in this way, Adam and Eve had to have several children in order to reproduce the first generation of human beings of this scale." ”
"Three?"
"Or hundreds, thousands."
"Sir, it seems that there are not so many, only a few." Able reluctantly corrected the new master's mistakes.
The white man on the other side also said: "How is it possible for a human being to give birth to a hundred, thousands of offspring, if I remember correctly, Adam and Eve only had a few offspring." ”
"That's right." In fact, Li Mu knew, but he was just pretending not to know.
After all, he had seen the Bible in the days of Noah, the second generation of human beings on earth.
"Adam and Eve could not have given birth to hundreds, thousands of human beings, so they could only rely on their offspring, but I don't understand a little bit, with human morality, close relatives cannot intermarry, that is to say, brother and sister, this kind of relationship, uncle and niece, are also not ....... to marry and reproduce."
"If I were to force the first generation of human beings on the earth to reproduce for a reasonable reason, then the biblical reference to human reproduction could only be a break from worldly notions and a ..... of consanguinity, as evidenced by God's dislike of this generation of human beings, and the initiation of a flood to begin the creation of a second generation of human beings on earth."
"Oh..." The white man on the other side fell into deep thought, he seemed to think of something.
Speaking of which, Li Mu did not wait for the white man on the other side to speak, and then pointed to the scripture in his hand and said: "With God's Flood as the dividing line of mankind, after the flood, that is, the beginning of the second generation of human beings on the earth. ”
"However, it is important to note that before God caused the Flood, he left only Noah's family to mankind as the seed of the second generation on earth."
"Indeed, the Bible says that before the flood, God chose the seeds of Noah's family for mankind, and at the same time commanded Noah to build an ark and let them lead the flesh and blood animals of the earth, and the pure ones chose seven pairs, and the filthy ones chose one pair, and left them in the boat as seeds for breeding, and hid with them in the boat from the great flood that God destroyed the world."
At this time, as if he had discovered a new world, this white man also began to join in the discussion with Li Mu, no longer just being an observer.
"Yes, that's what the scriptures say, but have you noticed that God has left only one family as the seed for the second generation of mankind on earth?" Li Mu said with a smile.
The white man asked, confused, "Is there something wrong with this?" It is a very common way to choose the pure one as the seed. ”
From the first generation of humans, it doesn't seem wrong to choose Noah's family as the seed of humanity, after all, no matter what it is, the best will be chosen to stay.
"Yes, yes, but God seems to have forgotten one thing, and that is that human beings are sentient and intelligent beings."
Li Mu pointed to his head, and then said, "It's not seeds, but animals. ”
The white man on the other side looked puzzled, he didn't know what this meant, or rather, it had something to do with the fact that the Bible is an epic celebration of love.
Looking at the backward scenery outside the train window, the corners of Li Mu's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "The reproduction of Noah's family is actually the same as their ancestors Adam and Eve. ”
The white man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Li Mu.
"If the second generation of human beings on the earth wants to multiply, Noah's family will inevitably have to reproduce more offspring, and these offspring are relatives, that is, they cannot intermarry, but in this way, how can they reproduce more offspring?"
At this time, Li Mu remembered that there was a saying in the European royal family, they were all descendants of an old grandmother.
"In other words, Noah's family continued the history of the first generation of human beings on the earth, with brothers and sisters marrying, uncles and nieces having offspring, so that slowly, as the scriptures say, after the flood, the second generation of human beings on the earth gradually increased."
Patting the scriptures in his hands, Li Mu continued: "If it weren't for the fact that love broke through the world's concepts, it would be hard for me to imagine how human beings reproduced in the scriptures, whether it was just because of human beings' own desires. ”
"Humans are not beasts, they are wise, and only love can make the humans in the scriptures marry their sisters or sisters, uncles or nephews."
"So, I say this book is an epic that celebrates great love."
"This..." This white man felt that his head was a little down, and he didn't know how to answer Li Mu's words, saying that it was not because of love, that is, to equate humans and beasts in the Bible.
If not, then we can only agree with the yellow-skinned point of view on the other side.
Moreover, as a white man, it is impossible for him to make inappropriate remarks about the biblical description of human beings, even if he is not a sincere believer.
Just when this white man didn't know what to say, he saw Li Mu's complexion and asked with joy in his heart: "Sir, I'm curious about how the myth of your country introduces the origin of human beings?" ”
"The myth of my country?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and said casually clearly: "Our nation's myth about the creation of human beings is boring, not as complicated as in the Bible, and it can be sung and cried. ”
"Can you tell me about it?" The white man asked.
Li Mu said indifferently: "Okay, the mythical story of our nation about the creation of human beings is actually very simple, our ancestor has only one, and that is Nuwa Niangniang. ”
"Only one? Did it come out of nowhere? The white man asked amusedly, suddenly feeling that the myths of the Bible were better.
"Well, you can say that, so you can say." Li Mu continued: "However, in mythology, we were not born by Nuwa Niangniang, but made of a kind of divine soil, and finally used a rattan stick dipped in water and thrown in the air with divine soil, and thousands of human beings appeared, and then these human beings slowly multiplied into our current nation. ”
"Because we are made of divine soil, our skin color is the same as that of the earth, the same yellow."
After listening to Li Mu's myths and stories about Chinese human beings, the white man said incredulously: "Your gods are really amazing, and you can pinch out human beings with a kind of divine soil." ”
"Isn't it? In the Bible, wasn't the first human Adam also created by God out of dust? Then Adam's body was removed from the rib-made Eve. Li Mu pointed to the scripture in his hand and said.
The white man thought for a moment and said, "It's true, the myth of our two races of skin color still has this kind of commonality." ”
"Sir, in fact, our mythological story is similar." Abel next to him endured it for a long time, and finally had a chance to interject.
......
......
Along the way, Li Mu and the white man opposite him discussed the myths and stories of the two races, and had a friendly discussion about the similarities.
The two who complemented each other exchanged names before getting off the train, and Li Mu knew that the white man on the other side was called, Dracula. Ben Slen, is an ordinary businessman.
This white man also remembered his name, Li Mu.
Similarly, Li Mu finally understood Dracula. Why isn't Ben Slen a humble believer, telling in his own words, that he has one-half Jewish blood in him.
You see, in the Bible, Judah is the ancestor of the Jews.
Knowing that this was the reason, Li Mu smiled heartily and stood on the platform of the train station to Dracula. Ben Slen said, "Friend, I'm going to the harbor to board the ship and leave, what about you?" ”
"Oh, friend, I'm going to board the boat and leave, but I don't know if we're on the same boat." Dracula. Ben Lun was overjoyed, and there was a feeling of anticipation.
Li Mu said casually: "Friend, I want to take a boat back to my country." ”
"Friend, I know, Daqing, yes, Daqing, although I haven't been there, but friend, very helpless, we are not a boat, I want to take a boat to Europe, my father is sick, I want me to go back and see." Dracula. Ben Silen said sadly.
Li Mu comforted: "Don't worry, friend, we will see you again." ”
"Yes, we'll see you again." Dracula. Ben Slen was in a better mood.
At this time, Abel came back with two cyborgs after buying the tickets, came to Li Mu's side and said, "Sir, the tickets to Daqing have been bought." ”
The train station here is not far from the dock, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods between the two.
After all, in this era, transporting goods is the main business of trains.
Dracula. Ben Slen saw that Abel had bought his ticket and said, "Goodbye friend, I hope to see you again in the United States." ”
"Me too." Li Mu smiled and saw Dracula. After Ben Sillen left, he also took Abel with them to prepare to leave the United States on the ship.
And Dracula. When Ben Slen was buying a ferry ticket, he suddenly thought of something and said to himself: "The Bible that Lee said is a great love epic, and there seems to be something wrong. ”
When he turned his head and saw a steamer leaving the port, he realized that he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that Lee is not talking about love at all, but referring to the Bible as a history of human trouble." ”
"Fortunately, I don't believe in the Bible very much, and I'm not a humble believer, otherwise I wouldn't let go of this bad guy Li, but the people of the Qing Dynasty are really bad, so be careful in the future."
Subsequently, buy a good ticket for Dracula. Benslen also boarded a ship bound for Europe.
