Chapter 10: The Crown of Tears (1)
"There's a question I've always wanted to ask. ”
"You want to ask me if I support Shiites or Sunnis?" Xu Minhan smiled back, "There are only a few ethnic minorities in China who believe in *** religion, and their factions are very distinct. But you also know that my situation is different, I don't belong to any of the ethnic minorities, I am a pure Han Chinese. ”
"Maybe that's why you don't know my faction, I can't talk about factions. But I prefer the way the Shiites behave, who have inherited Allah's mercy and forgiveness. The person I respect the most is the Great Ayatollah (the Great Ayatollah, a rank among Shiite religious scholars, only a very small number of Shiite scholars, Ulema, can reach the rank of the Great Ayatollah, and is generally the spiritual leader of the Shi'a) Sanei, who once issued a fatwa (fatwa, a Shari'ah term, meaning Shari'a judgment) saying that suicide bombing is an act of terrorism and will live forever in the fire for it. He has also been opposed to nuclear weapons because they kill many innocent people, and Iran has been opposed to weapons of mass destruction during his administration. Iran did not retaliate in the same way when Iraq used chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war. This is the great leader who adheres to humanitarianism, because war should let the armed men fight, why should innocent people be implicated? This is not in accordance with the doctrine of Allah!" Xu Minhan said slowly.
"I admit that there are many great *** scholars and wise men, but I think there are some people in the church who are not so peace-loving, and you know that there are many extremists among them, who use the identity of *** as a shield to create terrorist attacks, and even use sensational cruel methods such as human bombs, and at the same time kill fellow *** compatriots, and put the hat of anti-humanity on almost all *** heads. ”
"After all, they are a minority, I believe that the vast majority of people in both factions are believers in Allah, even if many of those extremists may be forced by the situation or too fanatical, but those who use violence to demand power and wealth in the name of Allah will inevitably be severely punished by Allah, we just need to wait for that day to come," Xu Minhan's eyes became very resolute, and every word he said was as determined as the midnight bell. Whoever kills one in vain is like killing many, and whoever saves one alive is like saving many. Human beings are the creation of Allah, and instead of bringing peace to others, they harm and even brutally kill innocent people, which is by no means a real *** act, they are all inhabitants of the Fire Domain, and will live in it forever!"
"Of course I believe that any nation in this world is peace-loving," Xiao Baiyu smiled softly, looking at Xu Minhan's determined eyes, and couldn't help but be a little curious, the gods that people believe in can make an originally non-believer become so convinced of the Lord's teachings.
"Allah Allah is greater than you can imagine, He is the Most Virtuous and the Most Forgiving, He will forgive those who have fallen into Error and Error, but He will never spare the evildoers who bring disaster to His people! I will always be blessed by Allah if I always remember what Allah has revealed to us and fulfill our promises. Xu Minhan put his hands in front of his cheeks in the form of a book, "My companion, my brother, Sarum, may Allah always be on you." ”
"Sailime. Xiao Baiyu returned the salute with the same action, in the past, Xu Minhan used to worship after getting up and washing up and before going to sleep, and every time he was very solemn. But praying to Allah to protect an unbeliever requires a belief that transcends religion, and Xiao Baiyu cannot live up to such a pious and solemn blessing even if he is not religious.
"I believe that Allah loves all good people. Xu Minhan laughed, his smile at the moment was extraordinarily bright, which made Xiao Baiyu stunned, as if there was another kind of brilliance in this smile. Xiao Baiyu suddenly realized that in Xu Minhan's eyes, the world was already warm and clean. Perhaps, in the heart of every pious ***, the world should be harmonious and quiet.
"For the sake of your great Allah, we must continue on our journey, and it is the most sincere respect to reach Jerusalem as soon as possible. Xiao Baiyu soon came back to his senses, although he is not a follower of any religion, he respects the teachings and traditions of all orthodox religions, of course, such as **** "divine skills" are not listed......
As Xiao Baiyu expected, it took a lot of effort to enter Pakistan, and the conflict between India and Pakistan has made bilateral relations in the border area very tense, even if it is not an exaggeration.
However, after they wasted all their efforts to enter Pakistan, the treatment is not the same level as in India, when they took the visa and ID card to the hostel owner, the boss was immediately excited to personally send them to the most luxurious double room, did not pit them these outsiders a penny, the enthusiasm was unbearable, the two took the bus to the supermarket, deeply experienced what is called "four good neighbors".
Pakistan's Chinese language is Urdu, which belongs to the Indic language family, Xiao Baiyu is not familiar with this language family, he does not know Urdu at all, and there are not many people speaking in Pakistan. In the end, I barely managed to communicate with a young man on the bus in English...... In the end, it was the English language that prevailed in the world that prevailed, and this alone is enough to show the exploits of Queen Victoria in the past.
"Maybe it won't be long before we enter Afghanistan, are you really not going to go to Kabul?" Xiao Baiyu asked as he tore open the packages of the two jellies he bought at the supermarket.
"Of course. However, Afghanistan is the only way to go, so if you don't go to Kabul, Bamiyan will have to go anyway. Xu Minhan glanced at Xiao Baiyu, "Heh! I remember that my high school English teacher's seven-year-old son also likes to eat this." ”
Looking at Xu Minhan's smug expression, Xiao Baiyu's mind was full of black lines, and his voice was cold: "If you want to despise me, just say it, I usually like to eat jelly, and I don't accept it......"
......
Pakistan and Afghanistan are both *** countries, because of the war, it is not easy to enter and exit, but in general, it is countless times better than the India-Pakistan border. Because of the ownership of Kashmir, the war between India and Pakistan has been raging for more than half a century, and it is not known how long it will continue.
In early September, however, they arrived in Peshawar, a city on Pakistan's northwestern border, Pakistan's most ethnic city, and an important hub close to Afghanistan, which is of great economic, trade and military significance.
Two days later, they arrived in Jalalabad (an important city in eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border). Buddhism was once prevalent here, and then the entire Middle East was full of believers of the world, Buddhism gradually declined, and then later, the war in the Middle East continued, such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban under the iron hooves of the trampling, Jalalabad's Buddha nature gradually lost on this land, and most of the Buddha statues and temples became ruins.
"This was once the temple of Buddhism, but it wasn't like this when the religion was rising. Xu Minhan's hand tightened, "Is war the culprit that destroys civilization and history?"
"As a scholar, you have to understand what is the direct cause and what is the root cause," Xiao Baiyu said with a smile, his hands on the decadent stone wall, "War is the direct cause, and human greed and rat eyes are the root cause of everything." ”
"Mouse eyes?" Xu Minhan was puzzled.
"Well, do you think humans are smart?" Xiao Baiyu asked very seriously.
"It should be smart, right?" Xu Minhan paused and said, "After all, the vast majority of human beings have relied on wisdom to get to this point. ”
"You're right, humans are smart, but this is in the short term," the corners of Xiao Baiyu's mouth hooked up a hint of mockery, "In the long run, it's stupid!"
Xu Minhan was stunned, not because of Xiao Baiyu's slightly disdainful language, but because he was like an outsider watching a chess game, as if he was not a member of the human race at all when he evaluated human beings, and even his tone did not carry the slightest prejudice or favoritism, he just spit out those words so plainly.
"There are too few people like the Great Ayatollah Sanei whom you revere. When Einstein helped the United States build the atomic bomb in order to prevent mankind from being dominated by fascism, the United States immediately dropped two on Japan. In the name of giving the fascists the heaviest blow, in fact, it also has the meaning of declaring to the world that it will be the hegemon after World War II, and by the way, it can also show off its military might and deter other countries. This certainly deterred many major powers at the time, but it also fueled the frenzy of those countries to research nuclear weapons. However, the use of nuclear weapons will always suffer innocent people, and it will always be the ecological chain of the earth and the entire human race that will suffer. Xiao Baiyu still has a smile on his face like a spring breeze, "Great people are repenting, but stupid people are thirsting for more! When a creature stands at the top of the food chain, it is not invincible, but it is not qualified to touch a higher vision, and the current human race is in such an embarrassment." ”
"Higher vision?" Xu Minhan thought thoughtfully, "Bai Yu, it's related to you." ”
Xiao Baiyu was stunned for a while, and smiled helplessly, it seems that he has said a lot.
"But you don't have to dwell on it, I don't mean to ask, although I'm interested in what you're saying, but most humans can't reach it, and I don't have such a persistent desire to explore. Xu Minhan waved his hand.
Xiao Baiyu's eyes flashed, I don't know why, Xu Minhan said this, but it made him feel very uncomfortable. Everyone has their own way, originally Xiao Baiyu and Xu Minhan's road was two parallel lines, but now it is finally intersecting, but Xu Minhan retreated a little because he glimpsed the mysterious and terrifying thorns on Xiao Baiyu's journey, for the sake of both of them, he chose to pull the two roads back to the parallel line.
"I'm just such an ordinary person, I just want to find my mother, get admitted to a good university, my father left me enough money to support me to go abroad as an exchange student, after graduation, I can make money on my own, work hard to create my own small world, and then find a girl I like and like me, and the family will live a happy and ordinary life. Xu Minhan sighed, "Maybe this kind of life will make you feel very boring and unproductive." However, the reality is far heavier for us ordinary people than you think, because of the particularity of the family, I feel a lot more about life than ordinary people, and my simple wishes are actually what many people are chasing but can't get. I have a hunch that your life may be very outstanding, maybe we shouldn't have crossed paths, but didn't we still meet, so we became friends, and I can only wish you a peaceful life where I can't see. ”
Most people wish others happiness in their lives. ”
"That's too polite, and besides, happiness is too much of a luxury......"
