Chapter 116: Father Wu's visit(2/2)
After all, after taking the train, it only takes one hour to drive from Dagou Town to Rongcheng.
When Aunt Zhue is fine in the future, she can go to Uncle Jiu for tea every night. I don’t know if Uncle Jiu can bear it.
As for Taoist Priest Four Eyes.
Taoist Priest Four Eyes is Uncle Jiu's younger brother, and he likes money as much as Zhenren Qian, so it didn't take much effort to invite him to come to Kangcheng to take charge.
The benefits are also obvious.
Through these five masters and uncles, Zhang Heng raised his control over the four counties of Yangjiang and Hainan to a new level. Because there are many warlords these days, and only this one can provide one-stop service, the people have no reason not to love him.
If anyone doesn't like him, let Gu Gu ask his ancestor to come up and have a good talk with him.
"Stop, you can't go in."
Early in the morning, as soon as Zhang Heng got up, he heard a noise outside.
When I went out, I saw a missionary who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, wearing a gray robe and a cross, standing outside.
"Commander!"
Seeing Zhang Heng coming out, the guards quickly saluted.
"what happened?"
Zhang Heng asked.
"A priest came from somewhere and said he wanted to see you."
The soldier pointed at the missionary: "I said you didn't want to see strangers, so he refused to leave."
"missionary?"
Zhang Heng glanced at the cross worn by the missionary, thought for a moment, and handed the little fragrant pig in his arms to the guard: "Send it to the kitchen and give the brothers a snack at noon."
"Thank you, Marshal!"
The guard was overjoyed.
"Father, do you want to see me?"
Zhang Heng looked at the missionary again.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Overseer."
The missionary made a sign of the cross on his chest: "My name is Wu Ma. I come from the Vatican. When I was in Yangcheng, I heard many people talking about you. They said that you are not only a soldier, but also an exorcist.
I have met many exorcists in Europe, and they are all very confused and desperately need the Lord’s guidance.”
After saying that, he made another sign of the cross: "My Lord is willing to lead the lost lamb. Your Excellency, Overseer, I don't know if you have the idea of converting to my Lord. If so, I am willing to baptize you personally."
"Forehead"
Zhang Heng looked at him with some confusion: "Those people, didn't tell you who I am?"
European exorcists are usually inherited from families and do not have faith.
Therefore, the Holy See is happy to absorb them, and these people are also happy to find a backer for themselves.
But this approach will not work in China.
Because they have faith, that is Taoism, which is a religion that is essentially similar to Christ.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Heng and the others are not exorcists.
Rather, they are clergy under the Taoist sect, just like the bishops and archbishops in Christianity.
Let him convert, this sentence cannot be said nonsense.
After all, Zhang Heng is the first of the seventy-generation disciples of Maoshan, and in a sense the future headmaster of Maoshan.
Asking him to convert to Christianity is like asking the next pope of Christianity to become a monk. It's better not to succeed, but if it does, a war of faith will inevitably break out.
"them?"
"They say you are an exorcist, isn't that right?"
Father Wu had a question mark on his face.
"Yes and no."
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "This is a long story."
Seeing Father Wu's appearance, Zhang Heng knew that he had been deceived and came here without understanding anything.
Otherwise, even the Pope would think twice before taking action against something that would cause an all-out war between Taoism and Christianity.
The Boxer Rebellion had only subsided for a few years. Behind the Boxer Rebellion, the Buddhist and Taoist families contributed a lot.
Killing foreigners and burning churches, you think it was the common people who came up with it and no one encouraged them, so why are they having trouble with the church?
"Yes and no, what does this mean?"
Father Wu was a little confused: "I grew up in the Vatican. I don't speak Chinese well, so I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Father, you have been deceived."
"Strictly speaking, I am not an exorcist, but a clergyman of Eastern Taoism, and I am myself"
Zhang Heng replied in English: "My status within the sect is equivalent to your papal successor. Your idea is too crazy. If you really dare to do this, there will be an uprising of the White Lotus Sect in South China, and they will rush into you."
