Guo Kang was busy writing the setting, completely ignoring Theodora and the others.

"Can't you write later?" Jeanne tried to get his attention: "I'm here to explain the news to you, and you don't care?" ”

"Inspiration, if you don't write it down quickly, you'll forget it later." Guo Kang said as he wrote: "How can such an important matter be delayed. ”

"You're pretty serious...... Jeanne was a little helpless: "Didn't you just say that you are not professional in theology?" ”

"I'm mainly ...... I'm very interested in writing settings. Guo Kang stopped writing, pondered for a moment, and said, "You see, in addition to tinkering with steam and artillery, I have so much fun. ”

"Write Settings...... Won't people call you a heretic? Jeanne didn't slow down.

"It's okay, I'm familiar with Master Wang." Guo Kang replied casually.

"It's true." Theodora spread his hands as if he was abandoned: "I see that he and the Great Lama Wang have become friends, and the two joke with each other every day, no big or small." Oh, by the way, your steam shrine, he also helped you cover up, and got the repair money for the church, to do it? ”

"Hey, how do you know?" Guo Kang was taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head and asked.

"At his level, you can't see anything?" Theodora rolled her eyes: "I can't tell the difference, the Khan court has long been corrupted and bankrupt." ”

"Ah......h

"You keep playing yours." Theodora waved his hand and leaned back in his seat: "Anyway, we don't lack a heretic like you in Rome, what if you succeed in that thing?" ”

"And what if it fails?" Jeanne questioned.

"If he fails, he'll spend it for fun." Theodora looked at it quite openly: "It's better than going to the theater and playing with prostitutes with other people." ”

"That'...... This is too. Jeanne had nothing to say.

"You have a little bit of faith in me." Guo Kang hurriedly defended himself: "You see that over the years, Master Wang has come forward to help me so much, giving me funds and helping me with appropriations, isn't it also because he values me?" ”

"I don't know much about theology, but I'm good at writing settings!" He emphasized: "What does being a theologian and doing the Reformation have to do with understanding the teachings of theology? ”

"Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Jeanna thought for a while and didn't understand: "Grand Lama Wang really expects you to do this?" ”

"He also said that I was a rare religious talent." Guo Kang claimed: "Last time, he also said, let me work hard, and in the future, at least there will be a Baba Ishaq-level theological influence." ”

"Who's that?" Jeanne asked.

"You've been in Egypt and Syria and you don't know him?" Guo Kang asked unexpectedly: "He is very famous here." ”

This man was a Celestial religious leader in Asia Minor, who studied under a Shiite Persian official in the Sultanate of Rûm. He fused the various sects of the Celestial Sect, the Worship of God, and the ideas of local mysticism to form a new doctrine. ”

Baba Ishak's doctrinal compatibility was well received by the local Turkmen herders, and later led to an uprising against the Sultanate of Rûm. This doctrine is currently accepted by the Karamanbayi Nation and is the dominant denomination there. ”

"So, such a blend is originally a tradition here of yours." Jeanne was no longer surprised.

"yes." Guo Kang nodded: "I'm just just trying to blend Roman religion and Chinese mythology, and my predecessors have already tried to combine God Worship and Heavenly Religion. Compared to them, I'm just making a fuss. Little Jeanne said that I have no face to call myself a heretic with this little trick. ”

"Hey, we Tomb Sect are also people of both religions, and it's hard to say anything about you, but there are some surprises today, after all, no one here studies these ......" Jeanne said with a little distress, "Moreover, are these actions really useful?" ”

"Of course it works." Guo Kang said: "In the later period of the Sultanate of Rûm, relations with the Greeks were already quite good, and there was more cooperation and integration than conflict between the two sides. The Sultan had even considered converting to Orthodoxy – for them, it was really not a big deal. ”

"This is not Western Europe, so there is no need to make such a clear distinction." He shook his head and said, "This kind of blending is our tradition." ”

"And is the worship of God really that pure? Where did so many folk saints come from? Where do local customs come from and how are they forcibly 'certified' by the Church? If you know theology, you probably know it better than I do. ”

"This ...... of purity," he scoffed, "but we don't know theology, but we have enough history for me to see through these things—what's the use of purity?" Let Brother Tian send me a few tens of thousands of households? ”

"I don't think that the so-called 'pure scriptures' have any superiority, that is, how sacred they are." Guo Kang didn't care: "Generations of people have been explaining according to their own ideas, and to put it bluntly, it's just a setting." Why can't I touch it? ”

"Roman culture is the ancestor of the whole of Europe, and Chinese culture is the most dazzling achievement of the whole of Asia. If we take the best parts of Roman culture, absorb Chinese culture, and transform it, it is the best model in the known world. ”

"I'm different from you, I'm really afraid of the barbarians." He let out a long sigh, "You know what? History tells us that barbarians are regularly overflowing. ”

"I fear that one day, the barbarians will take advantage of the decline of civilization and pour out from the west. As in the fourth century, it flooded the entire Eurasian continent, bringing the Central Plains, Rome, and Persia ...... They all wreaked havoc, destroying their cities, plundering their belongings, and even making these civilized people lose their dignity and courage. ”

"So, I don't care if it's a desecration of the scriptures." He patted his notebook: "Compared to the barbarians' desecration of civilization, this is nothing at all." ”

"I'm not saying we're the White Lotus. There is more black history in Rome, and the Huaxia family has not done this kind of thing. But in the face of more brutal forces, even the Franks can be allies. He looked at Jeanne, "At least you're more civilized than England, aren't you?" ”

"Who are you scolding?" Jeanne was immediately displeased.

Theodora hastened to persuade her not to get excited, and let her speak well.

"I'm just giving you an example." Guo Kang also hurriedly said: "I still have a lot of business behind me, so I don't have time to worry about this." ”

"And huh?" Theodora looked back and wondered.

"yes." Guo Kang nodded: "Master Wang told me last time that there is a Taoist aunt from the East who has recently run here. That person knows more than they do, so you can consult her. ”

"I want to add some Taoist stuff to it." He explained: "The Han Dynasty once said that the Romans were very similar to them. But the Romans now obviously can't meet their requirements. If you don't try to make Rome more like, won't you make your ancestors lose face? So I'm going to keep trying. ”

I saw that some book lovers think that adding so many elements is not good, but the whole book is about the collision of civilizations. So I can't change it.

It's just just being rolled out now, and there will definitely be more to come. If I really can't stand it and think it's too profane, then forget it, I can't help it...... After all, this is not as good as the actual case in history......
