Nestorianism, in fact, is a branch of Christianity. Persecuted by the Orthodox Church, it was called a heresy and had to choose to move eastward.
When it first came to the Tang Dynasty, no one knew its details. They thought it was a sect from Persia. They simply called it Persian Hu temple, and the disciples were Persian monks.
Over the years, Nestorianism has constantly appeared in the imperial court and asked the government to correct its name.
Unfortunately, the imperial court has not responded. Most people still call them Persian monks according to convention. In fact, the most correct name should be Jing monks. At the same time, they should not be called sects or Persian Hu temple——
That is more appropriate to refer to Zoroastrianism or Manichaeism.
The king, Daye, Zhaoye and Guangming.
This is much better than Hu temple.
Unfortunately, most of the people in Chang'an are not interested in Yi religion, so they can generalize it directly.
Because of this, miris feels that he has a long way to go and needs to make efforts to spread the doctrine and let more people believe in the God Aloha from the bottom of their hearts.
"Persian monk, Persian monk."
At this moment, a group of children were circling around millis with strange appearance and different clothes, laughing with great joy.
"Little benefactors, I'm monk Jing." millis raised the cross pendant hanging on his chest and gave sugar to the child, "Shangyuan is healthy."
"Enter my door and be blessed with the cross forever."
"Wear a cross and enjoy happiness."
Leave the children two words of God, and miris continues to lead the way.
"Lang Jun, since you are destined for Nestorianism, why not join it?"
Although Qian Rui didn't know what the sentence passed by the God of aroha meant, she could see that Lu Li was indeed old with it.
"Maybe I have more affinity with other sects?"
Lu Li didn't want to answer, but casually said an excuse.
"Don't be kidding." Qian Rui was in awe of the god Buddha and said, "it's a blessing to be valued by a God for ten generations. How can you be so greedy and expect more."
For her, there is indeed a true God enshrined in this Jingjiao. There are not too many rules and regulations. Only believers are required to teach sincerely.
Seeing that girl qianrui came out with her, she faintly became a Christian. Lu Li was quite speechless, but there was nothing to stop. After all, the Lord is not an evil god.
At this time, qianrui, who had a delicate mind, also vaguely noticed that Lu Li was not interested in talking, so she stopped talking.
Now the sun has begun to set in the West.
Chang'an city is becoming more and more lively.
In fact, this is not the only city in Datang.
Hundreds of miles away in Luoyang, the moonlight is three or five nights, and the lamp flame is a heavy spring. Smoke and clouds fan the North que, and the flute knows the South neighbor. Los Angeles is not closed at last, and there is little Pingjin.
In Yangzhou in the south, the lanterns and candles are gorgeous, the operas are displayed, the scholars and women compete for beauty, and the pink and Dai are dyed.
Even in the remote Liangzhou of Gansu Province, it is a prosperous school, with lights and shadows for tens of miles, parallel cars and horses, and numerous scholars and women.
However, no city can be around Chang'an. Now, not only the people living in Chang'an go out to play, but also the leaders of surrounding states and counties send bands here to compete for the first place.
The singer was dressed up and performed at the top of the flower boat, while the musicians sat below, blowing, playing and singing. Even the cattle responsible for pulling the land boat also ushered in the peak of cattle life. They were either dressed in tiger skin or dressed as elephants and rhinoceros.
"Color! Color!"
It was still early in the day, and several hundred opera artists couldn't stand their loneliness. They just found a place to start performing.
Wrestling, sumo wrestling, chicken fighting and horse dancing, bone shrinking and diamond ring, mouth swallowing steel sword... Each attracts people's attention.
Of course, the most popular is the beautiful girl. During the Shangyuan Festival, many women with good face do not hesitate to lose their wealth, but also want to make a big show of themselves. The corolla and Xiayu are worth more than ten thousand dollars?
I saw the frivolous son standing on the street, with snacks in his hands, his eyes wandering, looking for a happy beauty.
In order not to be blocked on the road, when Lu Li passed a street stall, he specially bought a mask: Green faced fangs, which is terrible.
After walking in the crowd for nearly three hours, the party finally arrived in the west of the city. In fact, Lu Li came here yesterday. He asked master Hu to do the hairstyle of the black maned horse here.
However, compared with yesterday, the scene of the west market has changed greatly. The colored lights originally covered with cloth reveal the true face of Lushan.
The flame Phoenix flutters its wings and the Dragon rolls its columns... It stretches for several miles, and flags are erected next to each lantern, writing the names of each firm. This is to show strength. If you stick three feet, I will be more than half a foot more than you, so that the people watching the lantern can know who is more luxurious.
It's called a bucket lamp.
When night falls, the whole city lights up.
Because the three had serious things to do, they didn't want to enjoy it and walked quickly to Yining square.
However, the accident happened when I left the edge of the west city and passed the avenue between Liquan square and Buzheng square.
Two foreign monks, whose whole bodies were covered in red robes and only their eyes were exposed, stopped the way: "benefactor, I teach Da Sabao to invite you."
This time, Lu Li recognized the identity of the other party and offered sacrifices to them. It is the most powerful foreign sect in Chang'an City, with tens of thousands of believers. It is not only believed by the Hu people, but also worshipped by many Tang people.
"You recognize the wrong person."
Lu Li didn't want to have anything to do with strange sects, even if the inherited memory told him that the registered religion had great power and was recognized by the imperial court.
"Little monk, there is no malice." the monk on the left, covered with red cloth, politely said, "I teach to hold a fire ceremony in Liquan square next door. Big Sabao asks Lu Qing to watch the ceremony."
A word broke Lu Li's identity.
After the mask, Lu Li frowned.
Why are so many Hu monks looking for themselves today?
Will there be Taoists and monks coming to the door in turn?
Do you really think of me as Tang Changlao who learns from the west? What cattle, ghosts and snakes want to eat!
On one side, miris's face sank like water.
Although he doesn't mind Lu Li's refusal to join Nestorianism, it doesn't mean that other sects can take advantage of it.
"Lead the way."
Lu Li's heart began to explore. You know, he has nothing to do with Zoroastrianism, but the other party specially sent priests to invite him. What's his idea?
Not long ago, the three were led to the northwest corner of Liquan square, which is a large building complex. Outside the door, there are three jars of flame and a huge stone slab.
"Lang Jun, what is this half human and half bird shaped thing?"
At the moment, Qian Rui is staring at Lu Li with a rather strange look.
Miris's tone was not good. He answered on his behalf, "Ahura Mazda is the highest god representing light and justice in Zoroastrianism. It is said that believers can communicate with him through fire worship."
If he had to take the noble man back to the temple to take away the sacred objects given by the Lord Aloha, he would not have set foot in the place where the Taoist priest is located.
