Chapter 161: The Roman Emperor Who Didn't Do His Job Properly

There is nothing to say about the introduction of the routine of the Great Lama. After all, what the Purple Horde is like as a church, the people who come here already know.

"But there's a problem here." Lady Jeanne pointed out: "You don't recognize the story of Moses anymore, why do you still engage in this burning bush commemoration?" ”

"It's nothing, we don't recognize them, and we have our own." Tuhuan seemed to have thought of this a long time ago: "Moreover, our miracles and images are much better than theirs." Think about it, do you like crazy old men, or do you like holy and beautiful girls? ”

"That's right." Theodora suddenly became vigilant again, and looked at Guo Kang: "This kind of holy and noble woman, everyone likes it." ”

"You're one of those women, too." Guo Kang hurriedly reassured her.

Theodora squirmed, speechless for a moment.

"Don't worry too much about it, Master Wang, he mainly wants to show off his skills." Seeing this, Tuhuan hurriedly helped his brother to break the siege: "He just wants to find an opportunity to show off his tricks......"

Grand Lama Wang only smiled and did not object to this.

"I won't hide it from you, I do have this idea, old man." He said truthfully: "Originally, this magic trick was still a bit risky, and I didn't dare to let the county lord's daughter personally get into danger, so I didn't teach her." But with Guo Gongzi's Heavenly Brother Holy Light Lamp, the effect is much simpler, and it really makes people itch. ”

"We're going to do it a little bit and perform at night, and it's going to have a very good effect." "It would be a shame if this opportunity was missed," he assured. ”

Jeanne Jr. herself was very enthusiastic about this, and the others did not object much.

Although the cultural level of the Grand Lama Wang is not as good as that of several predecessors, his means of magic tricks and juggling are the most clever among the patriarchs of all dynasties. Guo Kang still remembers that when he was a child, one of the greatest pleasures of several friends was to watch him do magic.

The scriptures say that Brother Tian has the ability to walk on water. Wang Da Lama said that although he is not as light as Brother Tian and cannot "float on water", he can light candles in the water. This flame of anti-common sense, which is also a miracle of Brother Tian, is very popular with everyone.

As a result, Guo Kang watched the performance and understood the principle of this thing. And this also made Wang Da Lama believe that this kid is a genius and must be cultivated well.

He didn't care about being exposed, but felt it was a good end to it. With the increase in performances, this routine will be recognized by everyone sooner or later, and when the time comes, it may be more faceless if someone turns over old accounts. But Guo Kang uses natural philosophy to explain it, and he can maintain its divinity, which makes everyone have a step down.

Natural philosophy is also a way for human beings to approach God given by the Father, and it is itself a way to recognize the source and embrace the divine. Through the study of natural philosophy, the principle of miracles is understood and reproduced, which means that this research has been recognized and blessed by the Father, so that He can grant more rewards to mankind, so that miracles can be permanent in the world.

And if natural philosophy is developed to a certain extent, so that all kinds of miracles can appear at will, then isn't it the real kingdom of heaven on earth?

This is obviously a very sacred act, and of course it should be encouraged and promoted. After all, that's what the church itself does.

His Holiness even thinks that senior clergy can be systematically trained in how to "magic" with natural philosophy. Only when the Church has mastered these methods can it convince the public with practical actions in this era of declining faith.

Especially after Guo Kang's lights and projections were made, he used his rich performance experience to carry out various plans ambitiously.

In this regard, Theodora could only acquiesce.

"How many plans have you prepared?" She couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Not much, actually." Guo Kang said honestly: "Not all miracles are suitable for performance, especially the stories of many saints, the template is too simple. ”

"I look at the story of this St. Catherine, and it is the same. It is said that she accused the emperor of persecuting believers, and then debated with the emperor. The emperor and his men could not talk about her, and began to try to persecute her. He also picked up the booklet and read it: "The process of persecution seems to be the same beating, and there is nothing too distinctive. Instead, he said that halfway through, the emperor suddenly came to propose again. I don't know what the logic is......"

"And there are a lot of contradictions in the process. She was able to break the wheel directly, and the angel drugged her, but the Roman officer later drew his sword and executed her, and the angel disappeared again, and there was no such thing as a broken sword. I'm not quite sure what this plot means. He put down the booklet: "Why is it not working now?" ”

"The sword is an iron guy, breaking the sword with his bare hands is not a simple practice of kung fu." Jeanne pointed out.

"Heavenly Father and Angel, halfway suddenly stopped helping again, it is estimated that she began to duel with people and gods." Tuhuan speculated: "Before, people bullied him, and Heavenly Father can cover him; If you want a fair duel, you can't be partial, after all, we in Rome are also God-sanctioned countries. ”

"As for the result...... The Roman officers were also clearly skilled. Although the saint tried her best to fight him in a duel, she was defeated in martial arts and was killed by the officers. He judged: "This kind of result belongs to admitting gambling and admitting defeat." People won the battle by their ability, so the Heavenly Father also approved of the result and did not punish the emperor and other participants. ”

“…… It seems that this is the only way to explain. Guo Kang couldn't think of a better way to put it, so he nodded.

"As for the rest of the part, I think it's completely ridiculous." Tuohuan shook the book: "Look at this icon, draw a crown for her, and say that she is a princess; But elsewhere in the book, it says that she was the daughter of the governor. How is the governor's daughter also a princess? ”

"If these records are true, I suspect that she may have been killed not because of her religion, but because of a rebellion." He shook his head.

"That's not counting. Most of the early saints were actually village girls, who were later added to the noble status by the church. Guo Kang said: "For the real upper class, religion is just a tool. It can be used to attack the enemy, and it is completely unnecessary to do so much work. ”

"That's right." Tuhuan thought for a while and said, "I've read a lot of biographies of saints in the past few days, and I feel that these people seem to be a routine. ”

"No matter where the saints and saints come from, they have to confront the Roman emperor who appeared inexplicably, debate the scriptures face to face, and make the emperor and his philosophers speechless. After being slapped in the face, he had to refuse the other party's wooing and maintain a proud posture until the emperor became angry and embarrassed, causing him to be killed and martyred. ”

"You've found out, too." Guo Kang nodded: "And you also know that many places have their own saints, all kinds of martyred saints and saints, adding up to tens of thousands. ”

"If this were true, it would explain the decline of Rome." He calculated: "The emperors don't do their jobs all day long, running around the empire every day, and fighting with all kinds of village girls...... If there is nothing wrong with this country, it will be strange. ”
