Chapter 185 Uninvited Guests
Washington Cathedral.
This cathedral, which took 90 years to build from the beginning of the last century to the 1990s, is the largest cathedral in America, no doubt about it.
It is said that there would be no beggars here.
But in reality, there was a beggar who was just leaning against the door of the church to bask in the sun, and no one chased him away.
A pair of leather shoes stopped in front of him. Perhaps the figure of the person who came blocked the sunlight. The beggar frowned, turned around, and looked up at the person who came.
The other person was wearing a decent suit, tall and well-proportioned, with a handsome face of a middle-aged man under his short linen hair, and a beard that enhanced his masculine temperament.
"I didn't expect that in just a few months, the once invincible ascetic knight of the Church turned into a beggar!
No, no, no, calling you a beggar is too much of a compliment to you. You should be called a useless person!
However, as a powerful paladin, can you be so decadent even when you encounter setbacks?
Can't you cheer up a little and embrace the glory of the Lord again?"
If the first two sentences were just sarcasm, the last sentence would be a pity for not being able to make a good person out of a bad person.
The beggar slowly got up, as if he was ashamed to face his former colleagues, and turned his head to walk towards the lawn.
"Even if you can't continue to embrace the glory of the Lord, you can be a normal person and live a normal life.
Why do you have to make yourself so ugly!
Helena is still waiting for you in Europe!"
Behind him, the handsome middle-aged man couldn't help but say loudly.
The beggar stopped and didn't look back: "Tell her not to wait for me, I am now a person cursed by the gods!"
After that, he never looked back and disappeared deep in the trees on the lawn.
A person cursed by the gods!
This situation has been reported to the Church, and the middle-aged man certainly knows it.
He sighed and walked into the church, and someone came out to greet him.
It was an old man with white beard and hair. Judging from his robe, he was a cardinal!
"Welcome, Archbishop Paul, thank you for bringing the good news of His Holiness the Pope!"
The bishops of the Episcopal Church of America are not loyal to the Pope of the Holy See, but are a separate sect.
Loyal to America!
Even before America became independent, the Episcopal Church of America was loyal to the British royal family, not the Roman Catholic Church itself.
Later, the moment America separated from Great Britain, it ordered the Episcopal Church of America to immediately renounce its loyalty to the British royal family and declare its loyalty to America itself.
In other words.
Even the Roman Catholic Church could not command the Episcopal Church of America, the Washington Cathedral, or all the churches in America.
This is the case in terms of legal significance and loyalty.
But after all, the Holy See is the best place for all Christian denominations. Since someone has come, and he is an archbishop, he must be treated with caution.
Although he was not considered an imperial envoy, he could still be considered an honorable guest.
Of course, the position of archbishop was one level lower than that of cardinal, but since he was a guest, the cardinal, even if he was the highest clergyman in America, had to come out in person to greet him.
Archbishop Paul bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to you! Cardinal Misero, I also bring greetings from the Pope."
Cardinal Misero smiled and invited him in.
After entering and praying, Misero asked him: "Archbishop Paul, how do you plan to start?"
Paul had already made up his mind: "There is a saying in the far east, it is called picking chestnuts from the fire.
Now in the American continent, whether it is the Episcopal Church of America or the entire Vatican, the power cannot be compared with those false gods for the time being.
But believers in America still occupy the majority.
As long as we are pious enough and can summon even one angel, we can occupy a sufficient share in this myth revival.
But before that, I want to go to Rainbow Town.
See Father Ryan, who the Pope told me to be vigilant, maybe a good chat can also be a help.
What's more, Although those false gods are now on the verge of a war, they have not started the war after all.
As long as there is no war, we have to wait.
Wait for them to fight, wait until they are beaten to a pulp, and then we will really enter the battlefield.
Just like America in World War II, the time of entry was so cleverly chosen that it has become the world hegemon now.
The same is true for the battle of gods! ”
Cardinal Misero nodded, and then asked him: "If you want to cooperate with others, you must have bargaining chips. The bargaining chips behind Father Ryan are the Eastern gods.
If you want to talk to him, I'm afraid you can't talk with empty words, you have to be prepared in advance. ”
Speaking of this, Paul nodded very confidently.
"My devout faith, the moment I entered the North American continent, I had already sensed the existence of angels on the plane.
Perhaps, according to the records, what I sensed may be just the most basic two-winged angel.
But with these two-winged angels, I am not inferior to any gods in the American continent!
Only the glory of the Lord is the most powerful! ”
...
There is no impenetrable wall in this world.
Of course, countries are infiltrating each other like a sieve. For example, Xizong is now thinking about how to refuse entry to certain people.
And Mr. Song is looking for qualified students and ordinary people in full swing. People in the Taoist sect are also looking for qualified high-level masters.
The monks are not willing!
Why?
The thirty quotas for the Taoists were all given to the Taoists?
Aren't Buddhists for the Taoists?
So they started to make a fuss.
Where did they go?
They went to Mr. Song.
"Mr. Song, in 1949, one monk and one Taoist were needed to go to the city gate tower.
Now, with such an opportunity, all of them fell on the Taoists. Isn't it inappropriate!"
Mr. Song smiled and looked up, and said to the thin monk in front of him: "Master Chengguang, this really has nothing to do with me. It was decided when they asked for the quota.
It is divided into three parts, one part is students, one part is ordinary people, and one part is Taoists.
This has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the higher-ups. After all, we are in the secular world.
They are gods over there. It is up to the gods to decide what kind of soldiers they want.
I can't In the past, I told them that it was not possible. When the country was founded, there had to be a monk and a Taoist priest on the city gate tower. You have to be fair now.
This is not appropriate! ”
Master Chengguang argued: "I know, the selection! It must be someone with great merit!
There are also people with great merit in my Buddhist sect!"
Mr. Song was more curious: "Old Master, people in the Taoist sect like to cultivate merit, so if they want to travel around the world, they have to practice medicine for decades to cure diseases and save people.
Help people with feng shui and drive away evil spirits.
So there are still some Taoists who look for masters with great merit.
There are few Buddhists who study medicine!
There are no feng shui masters, right?
Again How to accumulate merits? "
Master Chengguang smiled confidently: "Mr. Song may not know that people in today's society are impetuous and sub-health is rampant.
I, a Buddhist disciple, teach people to meditate and understand the truth, and calm my mind. How much can I reduce the impetuousness of society? It seems invisible, but it is of great benefit.
Although there are few Buddhists who study medicine, there are still some. We can still find a few.
These are the confidence of my Buddhist sect to fight for it.
We can't say that we are all religious people, but bald people can go, but bald heads can't!
Mr. Song, please fight for it. "
Mr. Song was helpless: "Master, he is from the heaven Officials, they follow the path of loyalty to the Jade Emperor.
You are practicing Buddhism, and you are loyal to the Tathagata Buddha in the West.
If they are not in the same system, don't force them together! ”
Master Chengguang suddenly laughed: "Mr. Song, this is wrong, even the Tathagata Buddha in the West has to obey the orders of the Jade Emperor!
As the saying goes, all under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects.
The Jade Emperor is the common master of the three realms, so how can the Tathagata Buddha in the West not respect the common master!
So, we are all family members! ”
Mr. Song curled his lips quietly, and had to shirk his responsibility, asking him to go back and wait for news.
But after Master Chengguang left, he thought about it and felt that he should call to ask the higher-ups.
Soon the higher-ups gave a reply, as long as the students and ordinary people did not cause trouble, the religious people asked him to ask Chen Yuan directly.
……
Chen Yuan was chatting with Dr. Liu, the Mr. Liu who immigrated to Toronto and both of them were doctors.
He has helped John deal with some things now, and has settled down in Rainbow Town. He is thinking about when to immigrate here from Toronto again.
Anyway, the child moved here with him.
The main reason for chatting with him is that Dr. Liu is indeed a talent. After all, you can't get a doctorate without talent.
It's just that he has read too much and his brain is rotten, so he chose to immigrate, which hurt himself and his children.
After all, who among the middle class chooses to immigrate to North America? It's not just brainwashed by the agent.
However, it is precisely because they have read too much that Chen Yuan now needs such a person to help him plan the construction of Preston.
Yes, it is construction.
Although Dr. Liu's major seems to have nothing to do with the construction of Preston, although he is so miserable, he still has some skills.
In recent years, he has been running around to lay pipelines while self-studying knowledge in architecture, design and planning.
After all, he is a doctor, so he is still handy for learning, so he quickly passed the relevant certificates.
And Chen Yuan now needs him to help design a Chinese medicine college, after all, he wants to revitalize Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine.
This is a big move that can get huge merits of saving people.
Otherwise, the merits on the acquired merits and virtues in his arms will be exhausted and difficult to replenish, which will always make him feel uncomfortable and feel empty.
It's like driving a car without compulsory insurance and commercial insurance. He is unsure.
Traditional Chinese medicine is actually outdated.
Modern medicine has fully absorbed the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and integrated them into a modern clinical medicine, which is applied in major hospitals.
But it is still based on Western medicine concepts.
Although traditional Chinese medicine has protected the East for thousands of years, it has always been innovative, and the bamboo shoots have always been higher than the bamboo shoots, and the later ones have always been better than the previous ones.
But in modern times, it has been complacent and self-contained, and even because of the inadequate assessment, scammers are rampant, which has ruined the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine.
Of course, there are also various medical representatives who promote it, but it has declined after all.
The decline of traditional Chinese medicine has also made it expensive for ordinary people to see a doctor.
Chen Yuan planned to invest desperately in this project because he thought it was profitable and could earn him merit.
As long as he could make this happen, he could turn Chinese medicine into an easy-to-learn and scientific subject, and could quickly train talents in batches to spread around the world.
Then he would have won the merit.
So what he is talking about with Dr. Liu now is how to build this Chinese medicine hospital?
They are now standing on a small hill, and a car is coming from a distance. A handsome middle-aged man gets out of the car and sees the hill.
"Hello! Respected Father Ryan!"
