Turbulent Times Chapter 49: The history of Nestorianism

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Shihu Xiaoyu' and 'csn69'.)

Puchi, puff!

After the eldest grandson and his son chanted this Confucian saying that Wang Junlin had never heard before, almost at the same time, each spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

King Bo Duo looked in his eyes, his expression was extremely dignified, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "Chinese Confucian scholars all pay attention to cultivating a noble and righteous spirit. All great Confucianists must have a noble and righteous spirit, and they will not be disturbed by external forces or foreign teachers. Changsun Sheng will be fine. This kind of righteousness has been raised for most of his life, and it is reasonable to be stronger than Dugu Moyu, but his son, the eldest grandson Wuji, is only twenty years old, and his righteousness has reached this level, this son must be extraordinary. If such a person becomes a follower of our sect, he will definitely become a sharp sword for our sect to invade the Central Plains of China."

Wang Junlin pretended to be obsessed and adoring, but in fact he was completely different from other people in his mind. Thirty-six pairs of jade arms and powder legs that dazzled like rubies under the firelight had disappeared. It's been a long time, but his mind is still full of chaotic images that are extremely tempting.

Perhaps Dharma King Boduo himself did not know. After removing the effects of religious hypnosis and belief guidance, this dance of his is purely an extremely obscene dance. Wang Junlin thought that his will was as firm as steel, and his self-control ability was extremely strong, but at this moment he was really bewildered by the beauty, he only felt his mouth was dry, looking at these thirty-six girls, there was a kind of greedy fire Brew in the lower abdomen.

…

…

"Suppress the heretics, defeat the rebels, root them out, take everything from them! Riding the horses of the heretics, using their beautiful women as your pajamas and cushions, this is the greatest joy of a warrior ..."

King Bo Duo personally sent Changsun Wuji and Changsun Sheng to rest, and the thirty-six dancing saintesses had also left quietly, but the Turkic bonfire party was not over, and it even reached its climax and continued.

This is a favorite song of Turkic warriors. More and more Turkic people join in the singing. The bowl was in his hand, and after singing, everyone raised their heads and drank it with strange screams.

Young Turkic girls ran to the bonfire one after another, stepping forward with their arms bent, dancing happily around the bonfire like beautiful young mares. Zhou Hu and other soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who were present seemed unaware of their abnormal behavior just now. They didn't even notice that Changsun Wuji and Changsun Sheng passed out and were sent to rest. They just felt that there were not many cheerful and unrestrained scenes. See, also let go of the bosom robe, and drink happily.

Wang Junlin was the only one who was sober among all the people, including these Turkic people. At least Wang Junlin himself thinks so.

Worried that others would discover his specialness, Wang Junlin did not dare to visit the eldest grandson and his wife right now, but he was not worried about their safety either. King Bo Duo could use today's religious methods to try to make his eldest grandson and his wife Nestorian Believers, but under the condition that the two of them vomited blood and were injured, there would never be any disadvantages for the two of them.

"The king of heaven is supreme, and my master Nestorius is the lord of all lords." Wang Junlin has been thinking about the words that King Boduo said before, and he has a faint feeling of where the name Nestorius has been heard. However, I just can't remember it for a while.

What Wang Junlin didn't know was that Nestorianism existed in history. According to historical records, Nestorianism, Manichaeism, and Zoroastrianism jointly formed the three major religions in Persia at that time, and were popular in Central Asia. The Nestorian Christianity officially introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Eastern Assyrian Church, is also regarded as the earliest Christian sect to enter China. During the Tang Dynasty, it once flourished in Chang'an and built "Cross Temples" throughout the country. But most of them are believed by non-Han people.

In the twelfth year of Tang Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin issued an edict stating that "the Persian monk Aluoben will present the scriptures and teachings to Beijing", and ordered to build a temple in Yiningfang in Chang'an City, with 21 monks. Allow him to preach.

Tang Gaozong also protected him. At that time, the Chinese also called the Nestorian Temple as the Persian Temple. At the beginning of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, Nestorianism was criticized, but thanks to the efforts of Luo Han and other priests and Xuanzong's protection, they did not suffer bad luck. In the fourth year of Tang Tianbao, Xuanzong ordered to change its name to Daqin Temple.

Moreover, when Nestorianism evolved in China, it made a lot of references to Buddhist concepts. What is more interesting is that the authors of the four Gospels were all called "Dharma Kings": Matthew is Mingtai Dharma King, Luke is Lujia Dharma King, Marku is Mojici Dharma King, and John is called Yogi Dharma King; It is called "temple"; the archbishop is called "Dharma King"; the priest is naturally called "monk". The name of God is called "Tianzun" according to Taoist rules. In this way, Nestorianism has developed smoothly in China for nearly two hundred years, and together with Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, it was called the "Sanyi religion" in the Tang Dynasty.

…

…

While Wang Junlin was thinking about Nestorianism's footsteps secretly, Wang Junlin suddenly saw the Turkic woman who had entered their tent to deliver a roasted whole sheep.

At this time, the woman was delivering things between the seats, looking around from time to time, Wang Junlin felt that he might be looking for herself.

Not long after, when the woman brought another plate of food to deliver to Wang Junlin and the others, Wang Junlin turned sideways and whispered a few words to Jiang Mulang, who immediately grabbed the Western Turk who was accompanying them Warrior, hold up a big bowl and fight with him for wine. The Western Turkic man was enjoying his drink, and a Sui man laughed wildly with him, and couldn't help it. The two of them stared at each other as if they were about to duel. You have a bowl, and I have a bowl. After getting up, the Turkic warrior soon forgot Wang Junlin, who was like a gourd, to the back of his mind.

Seeing that the woman was carrying a plate and handing the food to the tables, she was getting closer and closer to him, and the woman finally found Wang Junlin, her eyes lit up, and she was about to say something, Wang Junlin stood up suddenly, swayed his body intentionally, and said to Jiang Mulang and the Turkic warrior next to him, "I...I'll go and make it easy, where can I find it?"

The Naxi Turkic warrior understood what he meant, laughed, pointed at his back casually, and said, "Go there, or in that direction, you can find a secluded place, as long as it's not at the door of other people's tents. People will control you, hahaha..."

"Thank you, warrior." Wang Junlin nodded, turned his eyes, gave the woman a wink, and then walked away from the crowd. The woman glanced left and right, and then quietly followed.

This bonfire party is very lively, and from time to time, some people leave to go to the toilet, or a man and a woman go to a dark and hidden place to do that blissful thing, so not many people pay attention to the people who walk away, even if someone sees Wang Junlin and the woman When people left one after another, most of them would only secretly laugh at Wang Junlin's insatiable hunger, even a Turkic old woman in her 40s or 50s could "eat".

Wang Junlin and the woman slipped into the night one after the other, and then Wang Junlin saw a very beautiful girl, she was wearing that beautiful dance dress, with a silver mask on her face, probably worried Catching a cold, she wore an extra sheepskin robe compared to when she was dancing just now.

When Wang Junlin saw this girl, his heart skipped a beat, because this girl was one of the thirty-six saints of Nestorianism.

"You can leave now. Tomorrow you will take your son to escape while herding sheep. When you arrive at the leader of Ashina, there will naturally be a witch doctor who will treat your son and reward you with tents, cattle and sheep. , to protect your safety." The girl glanced at Wang Junlin meaningfully, then turned around and whispered to the old woman who led Wang Junlin over.

The old woman left quietly immediately with gratitude, and the girl naturally said these words to Wang Junlin, because through these words, Wang Junlin already understood the identity of the girl.

Obviously, this girl is a spy placed among the thirty-six saintesses by Ashina, the enemy of King Boduo and Tongyehu Khan. As for why the shrewdness of King Yibo Duo did not find out, and why the girl, as a saint, was not a fanatic of Nestorianism, that is beyond Wang Junlin's knowledge.

There are many miraculous things in this world. Although there are few people with great abilities, there are still some. King Bo Duo can make people become Nestorian believers with a dance and a song, how can anyone who can become his opponent be worse than him. And he, Wang Junlin, can keep himself sane through a blood jade, why can't this girl do the same thing through other means. Of course, it is also possible that the young girl has her own firm beliefs, just like the eldest grandson Wuji and his son.

After coming to this era, as more and more talented people came into contact with, Wang Junlin secretly told himself that he must never underestimate anyone. So after he judged the girl's identity, he would have the above thoughts, but when the girl said a word next, his expression changed drastically, and he could no longer maintain a calm state.

"My little girl, A Duo, has met Lord Poison General." The girl smiled and bowed to Wang Junlin.

After Wang Junlin's face changed, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, but his gaze was also like a knife, staring at the girl, but the girl was not afraid, and looked at him calmly, and said: "General, don't Doubt my identity, if King Bo Duo doubts the identity of the general, with the reputation of the general, even the King Bo Duo will come to test the general himself, instead of sending a little saint over."

Wang Junlin didn't say a word. He really suspected that the girl was sent by Bo Duo Fa Wang to perform a play in front of him, and the purpose was to test him. On the territory, there is no need for people to test him out, pretending not to know his true identity, and killing him is the most correct choice.

After all, killing the deputy envoy of the Sui Dynasty may lead to war between the two countries, but killing an accompanying ordinary military officer and creating an accident will have no effect on the peace between the Sui Dynasty and the Western Turks.
