Chapter 567: The Last Supper
It's cold and winter, and the starry sky is brilliant.
The revolutionary activist hurried back with a bookbag on his shoulder, and as soon as he stretched his waist, he saw a figure standing in the manor.
"Hey, it's a little sword. Ji Lingxing said curiously, "Aren't you getting married today?"
"yes. ”
"Then why don't you go into the cave room and stand outside?"
"Look at what you say. Ji Aojian snorted, "Can I enter this 'cave room'?"
"What is there to be afraid of. Ji Lingxing looked disapplieving, "It's a big deal, you and the third sister just talk about Tianming at night." ”
"No need, I'll just stand all night. ”
"You can't do that. Ji Lingxing said earnestly, "If you don't enter the cave room, serious consequences will occur." ”
Ji Aojian wondered, "Will this have serious consequences?"
"Yes, aren't you married?" Ji Lingxing was serious, "If you separate on your wedding night, it will be tantamount to sending a signal to the outside world that your husband and wife are not in harmony, and the society will be suspicious of your marriage, which will affect a series of plans for your capital cooperation." ”
Ji Ao Jianden was shocked, "So, I still have to go into the cave room?"
Ji Lingxing's face was solemn, "Of course, this is the only way to prove that your marriage is strong and your husband and wife are in love, you should go in quickly." ”
"Then Ninth Sister, will you go over with me?" Ji Aojian suggested, "We can talk with the three of us at night." ”
"Ha-ha-ha-"
Ji Lingxing suddenly dragged out his voice, and laughed three times in a frustrated voice, "Little sword." Do you want me to go with you too?"
"Isn't that possible?"
"Of course not, what do you think of me!"
Ji Aojian chuckled in his heart. It seems that there is something wrong, "Ninth sister." What's wrong with that?"
"I'm the younger sister of the third sister. ”
"I know that. ”
"As far as this marriage is concerned, the outside world also knows, I am the bride's sister. Ji Lingxing said angrily, "And now you actually want me to go to the cave room with you? Do you want the society to think that I and the third sister are sisters!"
"This ......"
Ji Aojian was stunned for a while, his face was full of incredulity, "You actually know the word marriage, you are too knowledgeable." ”
A fist immediately slammed into his face, followed by the sound of the ninth sister's roar. "Do you think this girl is a novice in history? I am also a full reader of poetry and books, and I am very literate. ”
"I see. Ji Aojian rubbed his red nose, "You went to pick up the third sister today, but you didn't come with her, just because you were worried about being seen as a dowry?"
"Not bad. Ji Lingxing nodded solemnly, "This girl's name is very important, but you can't be ruined." ”
"My name is also very important. Ji Aojian muttered, "If I enter the cave room today." Then I can't tell, how can I explain to those sisters after returning to China?"
"There's nothing to worry about. Ji Lingxing said disdainfully, "Do you have such a thing?"
"Even if I don't have a name, the third sister's name is very important. ”
"Okay. That's up to you. ”
Ji Lingxing waved his hand and turned to leave, "You just stand here slowly until dawn." Drink the northwest wind overnight. ”
- I'm just out for a walk, and I don't really want to stand outside all night.
In fact, His Excellency the Marquis was already preparing to slowly deal with official business in the living room. I also agreed with a few maids and asked them to take turns on duty to serve tea and water.
Although Ji Aojian has been in the maid industry for several months. But he had never hired a maid to serve him alone, so he was determined to enjoy the rich aristocratic life and make his life a little more complete. Otherwise, in the future, I will only have the inspirational experience of being a maid, but I will not have precious memories of being the master of the maid, isn't this tantamount to going abroad in vain?
At this moment, he had forgotten about a certain Dongying maid.
After another half of the ring, Ji Aojian came to the living room leisurely, but his eyes widened suddenly.
The lights are bright here, and the third sister and the ninth sister are at the table, spreading out a bunch of paintings, commenting and laughing.
Seeing someone coming, Ji Shengdian raised his head and said with a smile, "Xiaojian, are you also here to talk about candles?"
"You, you ......," Ji Aojian stammered, "why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"
Ji Lingxing rolled his eyes, "Sleep, is that necessary?"
Ji Aojian patted his forehead and thought with annoyance: How did I forget, one of these two goods is a congenital great master, and the other is an innate physique, as long as you meditate for two hours a day, it is enough, and this period can be arbitrarily divided and interspersed, and there is really no need to fix the sleeping time.
"And what paintings do you look at?"
Ji Lingxing replied very dryly, "I'm looking at the family photo." ”
"Family portrait?"
Ji Aojian couldn't help but be curious, walked to the table, and saw two paintings in front of him, one was a handsome young man, and the other was an elegant and beautiful girl. This is the last time the third sister encouraged herself to practice as a maid, Danqing, who was inked on the spot, turned out to be the ninth sister and showed it.
I only heard the third sister ask, "Xiaoling, which one do you think is the most beautiful among these girls?"
Ji Lingxing didn't hesitate to stretch out his finger, pressed the portrait of the girl under the moon, and giggled, "It's her." ”
Ji Aojian coughed, "Ninth sister, you have to seek truth from facts, respect the laws of art, and don't talk about it." ”
"I speak with intuition, what is the point of opening the river?" Ji Lingxing said unhappily, "This child looks like a flower and jade, captivating the country and the city, and what is even more rare is that the demeanor is pitiful, I see pity, don't you have a pair of eyes that are good at finding beauty?"
"Well, whatever you want. Ji Aojian said helplessly, "When I didn't come." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, there are family photos you haven't seen before. ”
"And?" Ji Aojian thought, the third sister really has a special love for drawing family photos.
Ji Lingxing picked up another scroll, unfolded it slightly, and there was a burst of colorful luster emanating, which turned out to be a Western oil painting with heavy ink.
Not much yet, though. But the character layout and the background of the picture are so familiar, Ji Aojian couldn't help but stop. "Is this the Last Supper?"
"That's right. ”
The Last Supper is a religious theme in which Jesus sits with twelve disciples. The last supper was consumed, for by this time his disciple Judas had betrayed him.
Ji Aojian asked, "Which of the twelve disciples is me?"
Ji Lingxing smiled and said, "Guess what?"
"Don't guess, Judas must be me. ”
"It's so smart. Ji Lingxing complimented, "How can you guess it?"
"Do you still need to think about this?" Ji Aojian stretched his face, "You took the initiative to call me to see the family photo." Surely nothing good. ”
Ji Shengdian smiled, "Don't worry, Xiaojian, although Judas is you, there are more than twelve people on this painting." ”
"More than a twelve?"
Oh yes, twelve disciples plus Jesus Himself, that's thirteen.
Ji Aojian asked, "Then who is the location of Jesus?"
I betrayed this, ahh Was the person betrayed by Judah the eldest sister, or our father, the founder of the Blue Sky Villa?
"It's stupid. Ji Lingxing said angrily, "Don't you even bother to look at the painting carefully, Jesus is you!"
"It's that you haven't pulled the painting to the position of Jesus yet...... Ji Aojian was suddenly stunned, "Jesus is also me?"
Ji Lingxing nodded. "yes. ”
"Why am I Judas and Jesus again?"
"What's so strange about this?" Ji Lingxing said very naturally, "There are only twelve people in our family. There are thirteen people on the subject of this painting, and one person must appear twice. It just so happens that you are a Gemini, so it is up to you to take on two roles. ”
"What's that. Am I a Gemini?"
"You were born on the day of the month of Jiashen, why are you not a Gemini?"
"Well, I haven't counted it from a constellation point of view. Ji Aojian thought about it and became proud, "I'm not only a Gemini, but also the birthday of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, this is the Dragon Boat Festival, an auspicious day for the zodiac!"
Ji Shengdian smiled and said, "The Western calendar on that day happened to be the first of June, what kind of festival is it in the future?"
Ji Aojian suddenly hung his head, "Third sister, can we not mention the Western calendar?"
"What day is the Western calendar?" asked Ji Lingxing.
"That doesn't matter. Ji Aojian hurriedly took the beginning of the conversation, "Third sister, on this painting, I am Judas and Jesus again, isn't this becoming myself betraying myself?"
"Actually, the third sister's painting is very reasonable. Ji Lingxing shook his head and said, "The fate of Jesus is an incident in which he betrayed himself. ”
"What do you say?"
"Where did Christianity come from? "Jesus was a Jew, his earliest disciples were all Jews, he also spread Judaism, and when he died, he considered himself a Jewish priest." ”
The only thing Jesus did that was different from tradition was to spread Judaism to people other than Jews.
Originally, Judaism was a religion developed by the Jewish people themselves, and the canon was the Old Testament of the Bible. According to the doctrine, they feel that they are God's chosen people, that their relationship with God is unique, that their psychological superiority is full, and that even when the whole nation is wandering, they can always have a strong sense of hope and cohesion. It is precisely because of this that they feel that such a good religion should of course be exclusive to their own people. How can anyone other than the Jews be qualified to receive God's grace if they are not the chosen people, but belong to an inferior people?
But Jesus broke with this tradition and brought the Jewish faith in God to other peoples as well while preaching at the bottom of the Roman Empire. Since this kind of faith can comfort the wandering Jews, it is natural that it is also suitable for comforting other grassroots people. So, the poor people of the oppressed nations of the empire accepted the faith in God smoothly, and at the same time accepted the Old Testament, which recognized the status of the Jews as the elect, because this faith was invented by the Jews.
But the Jews, in order to protect their religious intellectual property, used dishonorable means to get rid of the altruistic internationalist preacher Jesus. In this way, it gave the non-Jewish people who believed in God a reason to cut off from Judaism. They believe that Jesus, who was betrayed by the Jews, was in fact the Son of God, the Savior. The Jews had committed the unpardonable sin of killing Jesus, and God would not spare them.
How will God punish the Jews? That is, the Jews are no longer a people with a special relationship with God, but a people with a terrible sin. At the same time, the Jewish Bible naturally became invalid, and the previous covenant with God was nullified, and it was called the Old Testament. And Jesus' preaching is the New Testament, which inaugurates a new era, which is called Christianity in order to distinguish it from Judaism.
Of course, the Jews will not recognize Jesus as the Son and still consider themselves the only chosen people of God, let alone that their Bible is invalid and that they need a new covenant. As a result, Judaism and Christianity officially parted ways.
To this day, Judaism, which is only among the Jewish people, is still a national religion. And Christianity, which spread indiscriminately after getting rid of Judaism, has become a world religion that spreads all over the major countries of the West.
So you see, Jesus himself didn't even think about starting a new sect, but he was betrayed by his own people, and because of this betrayal, Christianity was born that was far larger than Judaism. ”
Ji Lingxing concluded, "The meaning of this painting is to tell us that the process of history is infinitely mysterious, and no one can count everything. ”
"This ......"
Ji Aojian was stunned for a while, his face full of incredulity, "You are so proficient in religious history, you are really too knowledgeable." (To be continued.) )
