Chapter 768: The Great Clash of Eastern and Western Cultures

Matteo Ricci felt that he had to refute the blasphemy and was willing to do so.

Otherwise, if you can't even get through this hurdle in your heart, the Heavenly Father will question his piety!

“This is ridiculous. How could you, a marquis of the East, be the Son of God and the Brother of Christ Jesus?

If what you say is true, why is your deed not recorded in the Bible? ”

Lin Tailai laughed "haha" and argued in turn: "Who says there is no record in the Bible?

If you read the Bible well, you should know that there was a king named Melchizedek in the Bible Genesis volume.

This extremely noble ancient king was also a high priest. He once blessed Abraham and was described in the Bible as similar to the Son of God.

Then, what kind of existence is Melchizedek recorded in the Bible? His appearance earlier than Christ Jesus, and why is it described as "approximately the Son of God" in a vague way? ”

Matteo Ricci remained silent. "Melchizedek" may be one of the most difficult "BUGs" in the Bible. The existing doctrine system cannot explain clearly what this person is.

If there is only the only true God in the world who is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then what is the divine nature of Melchizedek?

Not to mention Matteo Ricci, even the Pope stood here and couldn't explain it clearly.

But Melchizedek, King of Salem, is very important and cannot be completely ignored.

He blessed Abraham, and then Abraham and his descendants obtained the law of the “Promised Land”.

Lin Tailai pointed at himself with a very evil taste and said to Matteo Ricci with a loud voice: "So Jesus has a brother, Melchizedek, and I am Melchizedek, and I am, Melchizedek, and I am, reborn in the mortal world."

What a mess! Matteo Ricci seemed a little furious and asked, "The Bible says that Melchizedek has no father, no mother, no birth, no end of life, no life, no life, no similarity, Marquis?"

Lin Tailai said with a reasonable and well-founded statement: "Don't you understand? This description means rebirth in the mortal world. I am Melchizedek and rebirth in the mortal world!

Of course, the reborn begins with no life and ends with no life. Doesn’t it fit the description? ”

Matteo Ricci continued to question, "If you were Melchizedek, why would you be resurrected in the Far East at this time, which had been completely unconverted?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Because Western Europa has had the intention of damning the world in the past century, I was reborn in the East and warned the Ming Empire to defend and eliminate evil demons."

Matteo Ricci retorted again: "The Marquis' words are so funny! All countries in the continental country convert to our Lord. Although there are occasional heresy, most of them have been eliminated. How can evil demons cause trouble in the world?"

Lin Tailai suddenly took out a silver coin from the Flang machine and said coldly: "The huge amount of bones of the American Incas, and the massive amount of American gold and silver turned into gold coins and silver coins, which is the ironclad evidence of your Europa's evil demons chasing the world.

Don’t say that you, the Roman Catholic Church, don’t know this, your pope even drew a meridian for the two evil deities to determine the scope of the spoils.

There were Florences a hundred years ago, and in recent years there were the Lowlands, and in the future there were the English and French.

Matteo Ricci! Is there anything wrong with what I said? Those behaviors are not evil deeds, are they gods? ”

Matteo Ricci was stunned. When facing a person who knew the truth, any explanation would be pale and powerless.

In the distant East, why does such an "omniscient" character appear?

Even what happened in the Americas tens of thousands of miles away seemed to be clear, as if you had witnessed it with your own eyes!

Lin Tailai sneered: "If they can massacre and plunder because they are heretics, then our Ming Dynasty is also heretics in your eyes. What will you do?"

Then Matteo Ricci could only reluctantly respond, "Those indigenous matters have nothing to do with the Eastern Ming Empire."

Lin Tailai seemed to be like an "all-knowledge", and explained patiently: "Those Mayans and Incas are all remnants of the Shang Dynasty in ancient Eastern times. After the demise of the dynasty, they crossed the ocean and settled in the Americas.

So since ancient times, Americans have also been branched with Chinese bloodlines, but are now slaughtered by Europa demons. How can it be said that they have nothing to do with our Celestial Empire? ”

Can this all be related? Matteo Ricci's mentality collapsed and he shouted:

"But you are resurrected and reborn by Melchizedek! What does the matter between Eastern China have to do with you?"

Lin Tailai blinked, "Melchizedek and Father Tiandi are from China, otherwise why am I reborn in China?

Only the second son, Jesus, is a mixed-blood relationship between the East and the West. After the Chinese God arrived in the West, he and a woman named Jasmine Yan were produced.

So, this Jasmine Yan has always been embarrassed to say what the child’s father is. You can only call it God in general, and have created a bunch of other names.

After all, the gods from faraway China are incarnated in the ignorant West, which is still a bit shocking.

Look, isn’t all this aligned with the story? ”

In terms of spreading the scriptures and solving doubts, Lin Tailai seems to be more patient today and is serious about Matteo Ricci's science.

"No! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The most terrifying thing about preaching is not that the other party is ignorant, but that the other party knows a lot but is more capable of making up! Moreover, the things compiled can be self-consistent and logically consistent!

Lin Tailai ignored Matteo Ricci's crazy or not, and suddenly became serious and said seriously:

“Today is a private conversation, and it’s fine to take care of your understanding.

But from now on, your sect will no longer usurp the terms God, God, Heavenly Father, the only true God in the Ming Dynasty, so as not to confuse the audio-visual and offend my Chinese gods. ”

Matteo Ricci asked instinctively, "What should I call it?"

When Lin Tailai talked with Matteo Ricci, Xu Guangqi and Zhou Daodeng did not go too far and were guarding outside the study.

They suddenly heard Matteo Ricci howl vaguely, and Xu Guangqi asked Zhou Daodeng nervously, "Is something wrong?"

After listening carefully, Zhou Daodeng replied, "Don't worry, it's nothing big. If the king can't argue with Matteo Ricci, it's a big thing to start.

Now only Matteo Ricci whine, without any movement, can just show that the king and the prince have completely gained the upper hand. ”

Xu Guangqi was relieved. As long as Lin Tai came to feel comfortable, everything would be easy to say.

After a while, Matteo Ricci walked out in a daze, as if his soul had been captured by a demon.

Xu Guangqi went up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Even though Matteo Ricci had thousands of words, he didn't know where to start. He pointed to the study room and said in an accusation: "He actually said he was the Son of God!"

Xu Guangqi replied indifferently, "I'm just talking about the Son of God, what's the point of making a fuss about?"

All Daming said that he was a god from heaven and descended to earth, but he didn't know which god he was. ”

Matteo Ricci: ""

Do you Chinese treat gods like this? Do you understand what blasphemy is?

At this time, Lin Tailai also reported that Xu Guangqi had entered, and Zhou Daodeng stayed outside to accompany Matteo Ricci.

Then Zhou Daodeng asked curiously: "June and Hou talked to you about the affairs of gods just now? Did he point out which god he had descended to earth?

In fact, I personally speculate that he may be the reincarnation of the Golden-winged Roc, and that he is the uncle of the Buddha. ”

Matteo Ricci didn't say a word. At this time, he felt ashamed and lost confidence in preaching in the East for the first time.

He finally discovered that the huge gap between the East and West thinking was completely different from the root.

Especially with people like Marquis Lin, how could orthodox teachings be passed on?

"What? Prince of the West?" In the study, Xu Guangqi looked at Lin Tailai with a confused look on his face.

He is also very familiar with myths and legends. He knows that there is the famous god of Queen Mother of the West and the relatively small-famous god of Prince East, but what is this unheard of Western Prince West?

Lin Tailai smiled and said, "As the name suggests, the Western Prince is the Queen Mother of the West."

Xu Guangqi asked back, "But in myth, isn't the husband of the Queen Mother of the West the East?"

Lin Tailai continued to explain seriously: "In fact, the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West are brothers and sisters. One of them is in the East China Sea and the other is in the West Kunlun. How can they get married? So the real husband of the Queen Mother of the West is the Queen Mother of the West."

Xu Guangqi said again: "Why haven't I met the Western Prince in the classics?"

Lin Tailai was a little impatient, "I haven't seen the Eastern Prince in the classics before the Eastern Han Dynasty! This Eastern Prince was compiled by Taoist priests of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Why do you believe it?"

What is implied by the Taoist priests of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but I, Lin Tailai, cannot make it?

Xu Guangqi did not dare to disobey Lin Tailai and asked again: "Then what is the deeds of this Western Prince?"

Lin Tailai replied: "The Queen Mother of the West and Queen Mother of the West have a son, but the Queen Mother of the West is more powerful, and the Queen Mother of the West is very afraid of the Queen Mother of the West.

But the King of Western King was dissatisfied but did not dare to resist, so he took his son and ran away from Kunlun Mountain.

In order to avoid the Queen Mother of the West, the Prince and Prince of the West went west and walked tens of thousands of miles before stopping. ”

Xu Guangqi: ""

Junhou, the story of you is quite fashionable. You even use the "shin" and "fearing your wife" jokes that are very popular in novels and jokes in recent years.

From an artistic point of view, it is very interesting. I wonder if I want to listen.

He listened to Lin Tailai continuing to say, "Later, the Western Prince and the local woman, Jasmine Yan, had a second son named Jesus."

Damn it! Xu Guangqi was immediately enlightened and suddenly realized! After writing for a long time, I found out that the topic was here!

Under this framework, isn’t the Western Prince the God Father in Matteo Ricci’s mouth?

What is the meaning of Matteo Ricci's mission in the East? Do the Western Princes come to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?

No wonder Matteo Ricci looked devastated when he came out just now. Who could have suffered such a mental blow?

If Lin Tailai's theory was popularized, then the doctrines brought by Matteo Ricci would not be spread well in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Tailai also told a story from ancient times: "At that time, the Western Prince and Duke saw that the Western people were ignorant, and called it the lost lamb and educated them. The eldest son of the Western Prince was Salem, which was responsible for the Western world in ancient times. king.

However, after the second son of Western blood, Jesus, came to the realm, the Westerners erased most of the deeds of the eldest son of the Western Prince and referred to Melchizedek.

From then on, the Westerners regarded the Western Prince as the only true God and Jesus as the only Son of God, and compiled a scripture called "Bible". ”

Xu Guangqi was speechless for a long time. Why did the smell of family ethics dramas come out again? This time is my mother coming to power and the illegitimate son fighting for the throne?

Finally, Lin Tai said: "As for Melchizedek's eyes seeing the breeding of Western Europa demons, which will cause harm to the world, he will be reincarnated and reborn back to China, protect the Ming Dynasty, and suppress the evil demons outside the territory, this is all a story."

Xu Guangqi thought silently, do you, Mr. Lin, dare to point out directly? After the reincarnation of the legitimate son of the Queen Mother of the West, who was called Melchizedek by the Westerners, was his surname Lin?

"Okay, stop being dazed. I'll give you a task now." Lin Tailai ordered, "Polish the history of the gods I told you today and promote it."

Then Lin Tailai thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid your ability is limited, so let's add Gao Changjiang to do it together.

Although Gao Changjiang's talent is limited and his imagination is insufficient, he is still very capable in cultural communication.

I hope you can work together to at least spread these stories to be as well-known as Fengshen and Journey to the West."

Xu Guangqi thought about it in his mind and felt that there was still something missing in the top-level design of this system. "Since the Queen Mother of the West and the King of the East are not husband and wife, who is the wife of the King of the East? The Queen Mother of the East?"

Lin Tailai thought for a moment and replied: "This King of the East is known as the Great God of the East Sea and the Great God of Fuso. Then the Queen Mother of the East is the Amaterasu Omikami worshipped by the Japanese?

The Queen Mother of the East was divorced by the King of the East two thousand years ago because of her unvirtuousness or unfaithfulness. Later, she lived in Takamahara on Fuso Island and called herself Amaterasu Omikami, becoming a god worshipped by the Japanese."

Xu Guangqi: ""

No matter whether the "history" system created by Lord Lin is reasonable or not, the family ethics style is really interesting enough.

Lin Tailai encouraged: "Don't think it's nonsense, this is a great plan for the ages! Do it well!"

Xu Guangqi couldn't help asking: "With your high position, why do you attach so much importance to these trivial matters?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Prepare for a rainy day, resist cultural invasion, and reverse cultural output."

Another sentence that the world can't understand, Xu Guangqi took the task and left.

After arriving outside, Xu Guangqi looked at Matteo Ricci, sighed and said: "The Lord has ordered that you find a place to live!

Then please write down all the knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and geography."

Matteo Ricci, who was still at a loss, subconsciously said: "Then you won't write the doctrine?"

Xu Guangqi replied: "I will write it for you, so you don't have to worry about it. After all, you don't understand Chinese mythology very well, nor do you know the grievances and hatreds of the Western King, so you can't write the essence of Christianity well.

But I will trouble you to translate the new version of the church into Latin in the future."

Matteo Ricci was stunned and said: "What's the point of making up such a church? Who would read such a blasphemous book among those who converted to Christianity?"

Xu Guangqi said: "Marquis Lin may promote the introduction of local bills. In the future, the export of silk, porcelain, and tea must be forced to be accompanied by a certain number of new church scriptures."

Matteo Ricci: ""

Oh my God! There is no way to live! The Last Judgment should come soon! Send him and Marquis Lin to hell together!

I am deeply sinful! He was ordered to go to the East to preach, but he accidentally opened Pandora's box!
