Chapter 465 Legend
After the distance was slightly closer, Alice found that in front of the statue, there were always people who were bowing together, holding their chests, kneeling on the ground, and even kowtowed.
That devotional meaning was like their Christ saints went to church to worship Jesus.
Alice, who was confused, raised her confusion at Jenny and asked, "Jenny, what are those people doing? Why do you have to worship the statue?"
"Madam, these things are a bit complicated to explain. I don't know how to tell you for a while." It seems that because the amount of information is too large, Jenny feels that she doesn't know where to start.
"It's okay, we have time now, so you can talk to me whatever you know!" Alice comforted.
"Okay then! Let's sit there and talk!" Jenny said, then skillfully took Alice and others to the seat that was unsatisfied on the southwest side of the statue.
Since the statue is on the north side of the back, Jenny and others sat in the southwest seats just to see the scene on the front of the statue, in the south direction.
"What's going on? Tell me?" After sitting down and settled, Alice couldn't wait to ask.
"Actually, I don't know much clearly. I probably heard from the old man in the doorman and others tell me. Then I will tell you what I know and understand?" Jenny answered confidently.
"It's just a little chat, it's not a big deal, just talk about it casually." Alice encouraged.
However, even Kennedy and Jerry, who were sitting next to them, stood up their ears and waited for Jenny's answer curiously.
"Okay," Jenny responded and continued.
"It is undeniable that some of the people who have worshipped these weeks have indeed been thankful for their sincere gratitude and new life for giving them."
"Some people just see others politely. If they don't politely, they will seem out of place with others, so they are coerced to ceremonially. Of course, these people account for a lot of people."
"There are also people who worship Jesus like us, with a devout worship mind, hoping to pray for God's gifts and care through prayer."
...
"Jenny, I'll interrupt it a little. You can understand both of the previous situations. But what does it mean to say that they worship this statue or worship this emperor is the same as our worship of the Son Jesus?" Alice found that she suddenly couldn't understand what Jenny said, and her mind was in a state of confusion.
"Madam, because you haven't lived here, you're not very clear about their customs and traditions." After being suddenly interrupted by Alice, Jenny could only explain it from a new way of thinking.
"This is actually related to their myths and legends. They believe that the emperor is the manager chosen by the gods on earth and is called the son of heaven. He is the incarnation of the real dragon and is blessed by the gods."
"Shouldn't dragons be evil? Why do they still treat the emperor as dragon?" Alice interrupted after asking again.
"Madam, this is the difference between them and ours. In our Europe, dragons are indeed evil. But the dragons in the East are different from our Europe. They think that dragons look like this." Jenny said, taking out a penny of paper money from her pocket and handed it to Alice. On the back is a pattern of a five-clawed golden dragon.
"Oh, I think I understand, they are different species." After seeing the image of the dragon handed over by Jenny, Alice felt as if she understood it.
"Uh, I can say that! Anyway, dragons are sacred here." Jenny didn't want to explain too much about this issue, so she continued to follow Alice's words.
"The emperor is a dragon, a sacred person, and is blessed by the gods. Of course, this is just a little bit in the rumor."
"They also say that His Majesty the Emperor was actually born of the gods in heaven, similar to our Holy Son Jesus."
"Because he is the true and true emperor, he can defeat the powerful Tatars in such a short time and conquer this country. Some people who kneel down and worship him hope to get the blessing of the gods on him."
"Oh! Why does this sound a bit like a myth?" Alice said incredible after Jenny finished speaking.
"Is that so? Yes!" Jenny answered indifferently.
"But there are indeed some unexplainable things happening to this emperor. For example, when writing, most people cannot write without learning, and they cannot write well. But he seems to have learned and become proficient at once." Jenny suddenly started gossiping again.
"Of course, he said it was because there was a Taoist master and professor in the temple, but the local villagers said that after living there for so many years, if there was a Taoist priest there, how could they not know? Everyone was not stupid."
"So those people guessed that he might encounter gods and immortals, and only immortals had the ability to let others not see him and only let the emperor see him. Only immortals had the ability to teach the emperor many very powerful things in such a short time, such as magic power."
"Because the god who taught the Emperor was the God of Fire, the muskets of the Fire Army were much stronger than those of the Tartars. With the blessing of magic power, the spirit of the soldiers of the Fire Army was even stronger than that of the Manchus. As for why their country used the word "银', do you know?" Jenny pointed at the word "银" on the cent of the banknotes that he had just taken out to show Alice to Alice the "银".
"I don't understand." Alice shook her head. She didn't understand Chinese, so she didn't understand the word "王".
"Because of 'fire', the word 'fire' is composed of four Chinese characters 'fire'. The emperor designated this character as the country name, just to be grateful to the "God of Fire"!" Jenny suddenly felt very satisfied.
Sure enough, it was comfortable to gossip about people who knew nothing about things.
"This literacy writing is actually possible for some smart people to learn by simply learning. For example, Sir Isaac Newton from the UK is a very powerful person. As for the powerful muskets of the Burning Army than the Tatars, I thought he might have improved musket technology. These alone cannot show that he can compare with the Holy Son Jesus." At this time, Kennedy, who was listening on the side, spoke out.
"Oh! OK, sir. I'm just hearing what others said. I don't understand what's going on. Anyway, it won't affect his becoming the greatest emperor of this empire." Faced with the knowledgeable nobles, Jenny still showed timidity and did not dare to argue too much.
