Chapter 390 Maria, what is your relationship with the Virgin? (Please order and vote)
"Hey, are you sent by Heavenly Father to see the King of Heaven?"
Archbishop Doria and Sister Maria, along with several Chinese attendants, had just walked towards the ship "Guangdong Fa". Before they left the dock, they were stopped by several female Taiping soldiers in red scarves and yellow robes. The leader was a man in his thirties.
A 20-year-old woman stopped the Cardinal and Sister Maria and asked them directly.
Archbishop Doria was stunned and thought to himself: "I am sent to China by His Majesty the Patriarch of the Ecumenical Church, God's representative on earth, and the Patriarch's order must reflect God's will!"
So the cardinal made the sign of the cross on his chest and nodded: "Yes, I am sent by Heavenly Father!"
As soon as the female officer heard this, she immediately grinned: "Ah, I've been waiting for you! Half a month ago, Heavenly Father sent a dream to Heavenly King to tell him to send someone over, and Heavenly King called us to greet him every day, and today he finally did.
arrive."
What? You knew we were coming half a month ago?
Now Archbishop Doria and Sister Maria were all changed in their expressions...::.. Could it be that Hong Xiuquan really wasn't a big liar?
Mary asked in a low voice: "Sister, did your King of Heaven say what the Father sent us to do?"
The female officer looked around carefully and saw that there were quite a few people waiting, so she leaned into Maria's ear and whispered: "Deal with a fallen angel!"
ah!
Sister Maria was immediately stunned.
You even know this! There is really a connection between the King of Heaven and God! Who is this Hong Xiuquan?
Could it really be God's...
Archbishop Doria saw the drastic change in Mary's face and knew something was wrong, so he asked in Latin:
"Maria, what did she say?"
"This Chinese sister said that God told their King of Heaven that we were sent by God to help him deal with the devil!"
Maria also answered in Latin.
"What? This, how is this possible...\n.:.:" Archbishop Doria quickly made the sign of the cross on his chest again,
His face was full of piety - he had never been so pious in his life!
Although he was a cardinal who was qualified to elect the pope and become pope, deep down in his heart he had deep doubts about the existence of God.
He had no choice but to live in an era when the Catholic faith was collapsing. He also happened to grow up in Italy, which had been falling apart for a long time and Catholicism was in decline. He was also a core member of the Doria family, the ruling family of Genoa who knew the inside story of the Holy See.
Although he became a clergyman serving God because of his family's arrangements, and became a cardinal in his meteoric rise, and he also managed the heresy review in the church for several years, but he never actually served God sincerely...:...
\nHe was corrupt, accepted bribes, bought and sold the priesthood, told lies, had several mistresses, and had seven or eight illegitimate children.
Maria, who followed him to China this time, was nominally his distant niece, but in fact she was his illegitimate daughter.
In addition, he, who became the chief exorcist of the Holy See more than ten years ago, has never exorcised even a real devil from the world.
Not one!
Although he does not have the ability to exorcise demons from the human world, he is not only capable of using demons to steal money from the rich and powerful Europeans who have done too many bad things, but he is also very capable.
After all, he is an exorcist certified by the Holy See and endorsed by the Holy See. He is more reliable than those wild exorcists, right? Moreover, the Doria family is originally in the circle of powerful people in Europe.
Before he was shocked by the incident in "The Book of the Prophets", he was basically an atheist, a cleric who had done so many things that blasphemed God. If he wasn't a staunch atheist, wouldn't he have to worry about going to hell every day?
But now... God seems to really exist!
He has done so many bad things that blaspheme against God, and this hell is probably set for him.
When he thought of the things he had done in the past, Archbishop Doria seemed to see the door of hell opening for him.
"Uncle, uncle, what are you thinking about?"
When Maria's call rang in Archbishop Doria's ears, he realized that he had been distracted and a two-wheeled carriage had stopped in front of him.
"Uncle, get in the car." Maria pointed to the female officer who greeted them over there, "This Sister Meng will send us directly to the Golden Dragon City where the King of Heaven lives, where His Majesty the King is waiting for us."
"Oh, the King of Heaven is waiting for us...\nWhy?" Archbishop Doria asked a little guiltily.
"Of course it's exorcism!" Maria took a breath, her pretty face full of expectant expression, "This is the mission God has given us!"
"The king of heaven, the king of heaven, is coming, they are coming!"
In Golden Dragon City, Palace of the Sun, a certain sage was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, still a little drowsy, probably about to see God in his dream again, when suddenly there was a shout of surprise in his ears.
Hong Xiuquan was suddenly awakened and subconsciously shouted: "Who? Who is coming?"
Could it be those "living fathers" here?
"King of Heaven, people sent by Heavenly Father are here!"
Daozi ran to Hong Xiuquan with small steps, knelt down and reported the good news to Hong Xiuquan.
"Really, are you really here?" Hong Xiuquan was also a little surprised.
Although he firmly believed that he was the son of Heavenly Father, he also believed that he was being targeted by his Heavenly brother Ji Du.
After all, Ji Du is the great prince in heaven!
Heavenly Father should still support Ji Du more, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to the lower world to be the unlucky king of heaven, and bullied by the angels sent by Ji Du.
"Really, people have arrived at Golden Dragon City." Daozi urged with a pious look on his face: "Please change your clothes quickly and go to the palace to receive the envoy!"
But Hong Xiuquan still couldn't believe it. He first pinched one of his beards with his right hand, and then yanked hard! Ouch, it hurts!
This is not a dream.
Then Hong Xiuquan glared and asked in a low voice: "Who is here? How do you know it is sent by Heavenly Father?"
Daozi replied: "Reporting to the King of Heaven, here are two foreigners, a man and a woman. The man is a cardinal.
His name is Paul, and he is the Archbishop of Nanjing Diocese sent to China by the Roman Church."
"Oh, he's here to pick up Zhao Fangji's class." Hong Xiuquan was a little disappointed.
What Dao Zi said next made Hong Xiu overjoyed: "That woman is a nun, her name is Maria.
He is an exorcist from the Roman Church, specifically here to drive out the demon that descended from the sky on the coir raincoat!"
"What? Maria...::.:" Hong Xiuquan took a few breaths of air, "The Holy Mother? She has come down in person? Come on, help me change my clothes, I'm going to greet the Holy Mother!"
The Holy Mother is here, not to mention the "Four Living Fathers", even if Ji Du comes down in person, he still has to greet the Holy Mother!
However, Dao Zi was not sure that that Mary was the Virgin Mary. She knew that foreigners did not shy away from saying that there were many women named Mary over there. It would be bad if there was a mistake. So she supported Hong Xiuquan and walked towards her.
Walking into the palace, he reminded in a low voice: "King, there are many foreign women named Maria, and they don't like to avoid taboos there.:::
"I know that I will not just worship Mary when I see her." Hong Xiuquan's steps were light and his voice seemed cheerful, "But even if she is not the Holy Mother herself, she must be related to the Holy Mother.
"
When Dao Zi thought about it, it made sense. It was such a coincidence that this Maria came. She came right after Heavenly Father gave the King a dream, and she came to exorcise the demon Luo Yaoguo!
If she had nothing to do with Maria, how could it be such a coincidence?
Maybe she is a clone of the Holy Mother in the lower world!
Sun Palace Main Hall.
Paulo De Doria and Maria have been waiting in this somewhat empty hall full of Eastern mysticism style for a while.
Before they came to Tianjing, they had already inquired about the etiquette of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from the people in the official residence of Bishop Dongjiadu, and knew that kowtow was popular here. And since they came to Tianjing for the devil and the "Book of Prophets", they obviously wanted to ask for help from the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.
Of course, like Wen Xian, we can't put on airs and refuse to kneel.
So when they heard "The King of Heaven has arrived," they smoothly bent their knees and bowed. But before their heads hit the ground, a male voice with a Hakka accent rang out: "
Paul, Mary, Ping Shen, Hurry up Ping Shen, you are sent by the Heavenly Father, God, and you do not need to kneel in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."
Paul and Maria quickly stood up, looked up, and saw a man with a golden crown and yellow robe, surrounded by more than a dozen female officials, walking into the hall with great strides. He did not go directly to the throne, but went straight to the throne.
In front of Paul and Mary, he ignored the red archbishop, but smiled and said to Mary: "Is this nun Mary?"
"Exactly." Maria replied quickly, and also made a squatting salute by the way.
