Chapter 361 Arhat

"The Heavenly Venerable of your religion is so weak that he was killed by a small state official. Could there be something hidden in it?"

Buddhism and Taoism both have legends of death and resurrection, so Miss Qianrui didn't think there was anything unusual about it, but was even more curious about why the majestic Heavenly Lord was killed by mortals.

In fact, every philanthropist who came to Nestorianism would ask this question, so Millis was not surprised, with a smile on his face, he said: "Everything in the world is determined by heaven. Your lord knew that fate would be like this." He wanted to take the sins of the masses on his own body, and seek redemption for all sentient beings."

Save all evil spirits, hell is not empty, and vow not to become a Buddha.

Qianrui instantly thought of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enshrined in the Buddhist hall, and thought: It seems that this Nestorian Tianzun is also a great compassionate person.

Subconsciously, she carefully looked at the man hanging on the lotus cross——

He has a high nose and deep eyes, a crown of thorns on his head, and a sad face.

Arhat is the taboo name of Tianzun.

And just now what Millis said was His Holiness.

Lu Li guessed that in the Nestorian scriptures, the two should not be confused.

On the side, seeing that Qianrui was fine, Millis explained in a gentle voice: "So that the benefactor knows, the name of the venerable hanging on the cross is Mi Shihe, and he is the son of the celestial being."

"Mouse?"

"That's right."

Hearing this joyful name again, the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

As the saying goes, foreign monks like to chant scriptures, but this is not the case. It is difficult to bypass the barrier of translation alone.

In a few words, the three of them came to the bottom of the statue. Millis saluted respectfully. Lu Li and Qian Rui were not Nestorians, so they just crossed their chests to express their respect.

"Last night, Tianzun entrusted me with a dream, saying that he would give this thing to the nobleman, saying that it will be of great use to you in the future."

After saying that, Millis went around to the back of the Holy Cross, and pulled away one of the stone bricks, only to see a square wooden plaque in the groove, about the size of a palm, engraved with the same scene as the statue——

Mishiha wears a crown of thorns on his head, with a sad face, and is hanged on a cross to be tortured.

Apart from that, there is nothing else, no written description, no ornamentation.

However, Lu Li felt that the color of the wooden sign was a bit wrong, it was light red, as if it had been dyed with some kind of paint.

Knowing that this object was given by the Nestorian Tianzun, Miss Qianrui came over to take a look.

Hmm...it's nothing special, it must be the brilliance and introversion, and the fetish is self-obscuring.

She wasn't the only one who thought this way, the other two present had the same guess. After all, it couldn't be that A Luohe was bored and deliberately played them, right?

With this in mind, Lu Li put away the wooden plaque carefully, then raised his eyes to Millis, "Does the Heavenly Lord have any other teachings?"

"Heavenly Venerable told the little monk two things." Millis shook his head, and said: "One is to ask the nobleman if he is willing to enter my door, and the other is to give this thing to the nobleman."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but bring up the old story again: "Can you be willing to join Nestorianism? You only need to abide by the ten wishes, and there are no other restrictions."

You must know that the person in front of him is the one that the Heavenly Venerable is looking for. If he can choose to join the religion under his own persuasion, it will be a great achievement.

In addition, Lu Li is the Minister of Dali, an official who stands at the highest place in the temple, and has won the holy family, and this coincides with the method of spreading religion that they have figured out in recent years:

Take the upper-level route, which is the name of Nestorianism.

The reason why the images of past emperors are hung in the lobby is because of this.

Lu Li wavered a little, but soon became firm again. He has not yet reached the stage where he needs to rely on the belief in gods to improve his strength.

The most important thing is that even though Nestorianism is completely different from the Western sect and only needs to abide by the Ten Vows, it still brings a sense of restraint to people.

Seeing that Lu Li was silent and didn't answer, Millis knew what he was thinking, and said, "There is a confession room in this temple, and you can tell anything in it. There is no connection between heaven and earth, no transmission, and no risk of leakage."

"As long as you are devout, Heavenly Venerable will send you enlightenment."

"Then there will be great virtue." Lu Li walked down the steps, "I happen to have something to ask Aluoha Tianzun, please lead the way."

The gifts from the Zoroastrian Cult were really hot, and Lu Li couldn't sleep until he figured out what they were planning.

After all, just throw away things like this. If it is something good, wouldn't it be a loss?

"My lady, go in first." Lu Li stopped in the corridor.

The small cubicle in front is the confession room. It is low and narrow, and it can't accommodate two people at all. In addition, his hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people. If he gets too close, he may hear Miss Qianrui's secret.

As long as it doesn't touch his own interests, Lu Li won't be so bored prying into other people's privacy.

"good."

Qian Rui didn't refuse, and walked directly into the cubicle, while Millis and Lu Li stood in the corridor and waited patiently.

It is reasonable to understand that there should be various murals painted in the grooves on the corridor, such as Genesis, the Virgin Mary embracing the Holy Child, the Last Judgment, the Kiss of Judas...

However, there is no similar mural in this Jing Temple. It is simple and clean, and the most common one is the cross:

The lotus cross, and a cross that Lu Li had never seen before, had three bone-shaped protrusions at the end of each arm.

Later, after listening to Millis' explanation, Lu Li realized that this kind of cross can bring people from death to life, just like the sprout of the tree of life.

As the content of the chat deepened, Lu Li felt more and more that Nestorianism was completely different from the western one. They did not recognize Mary as the mother of God, did not recognize purgatory, and even opposed the theory of incarnation.

On the contrary, Nestorianism worships ancestors, and many ideas are the same as those of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

"Zong Zhou De mourns, Qing drives west to rise. The giant Tang Daoguang, Jingfeng east fan."

This is what Millis said to Lu Li when he described Nestorianism's footsteps. It meant that the Zhou Dynasty lost its morality and declined, and Lao Tzu went to the west on a green ox.

This almost confuses Lu Li. Doesn't this mean that Nestorianism is the result of Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu in the past, and now it's just returning to his homeland.

Thinking down this way of thinking, I feel that some places can be explained.

[My three-one wonderful body, the Wuyuan Allah, Arhat, judged the cross to fix the four directions, drummed the primordial wind to generate two qi, the dark sky changed and the sky and the earth opened, the sun and the moon moved and worked day and night, craftsmen made all things, and then established the first man]

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the sentence in the "Tao Te Ching": Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things, all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the spirit is harmonious.

Millis also said that Yishu, that is, the Venerable Mishiha once told his followers: You should know that your ancestors are your fathers, not one generation or two. If you have a relationship with goodness, you must have accumulated good roots in the past and accumulated good roots in our sect... You For several generations, the father, grandfather, relatives and relatives were good, especially transferred to you.

"Book of Changes" says: A family that accumulates goodness will surely have surplus celebrations; a family that accumulates bad qualities will surely have surplus disasters.

The meanings that the two want to express cannot be said to be almost the same, they are exactly the same!

In addition, Nestorianism also believes in the Buddhist theory of the six paths of reincarnation.

Lu Li couldn't help asking in his heart: With so many teachings added together, who is the Arhat God?
