Chapter 676 Homecoming (Part 1)
.com When I heard the sound of waves in my ears, Zabulu opened his eyes and saw Siren looking at him with a smile, and quickly responded to the other party with an apology.
"Father, you are awake." Silent smiled.
"Oh, Lord Shen, how long have I slept?" Zabulu was a little confused about the situation.
"It's been more than a day" Chen Si apologized: "I'm so sorry."
"My God" Zabbello was also surprised: "This alcoholism is so great that it makes Sanchi next to him laugh secretly.
"I'm drunk too." Silently comforted him: "It seems that this old wine is amazing, but it's not bad."
Zabuluo then realized that he was refreshed and had not been in such a good state for a long time. He praised: "It seems that Lord Shen is indeed a good wine collection.
Seeing that he had no questions, he stood up and said, "Clean up quickly, we're about to dock." He said, pointing to a stack of clothes on the head of the bed and said, "This place is not as good as the trading ports like Shanghai and Suzhou. People have never seen a Westerner like you. In order to avoid being watched, you'd better be
"I know, follow the customs of the countryside," Zabber rushed to say.
,Ten thousand
"Probably...that's what it means." Chen Jing smiled and left Zaberu's room.
When he arrived outside the cabin, he saw the coastline getting closer and closer. Chen Si suddenly turned around and looked at the endless and vast sea of blue waves and boundlessness. He could not see Wang Zhi's giant ship. Moreover, Chen Si had already issued a ban on his guards, and he would never mention everything he had born yesterday.
But that meeting, that conversation full of ideals, remained clearly in Shen Mo's heart. It was almost the only thing that excited him after he came down from Governor Su Song. During the entire voyage, he was immersed in that strange, great, but unrealistic fantasy. I believe that Prince Enrique had such thoughts back then."
But when he vaguely saw the land and Lin Zhen, those ideal things were suddenly suppressed in his heart, and his silent thoughts returned to reality. He had to face a cruel reality, which was that when talking to any official of the Ming Dynasty, he would not resonate with Wang Zhi like that, let alone talk about great ideas.
Because he has been in this era for so many years, he deeply knew that these scholars and officials who were deeply harmed by the poison of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism were not aware of how big the world was, but they were arrogant. In their opinion, there was no king, dynasty or culture in the world that could be compared with their own country. Even if he told them about the vast new continent, they would think that it was an insignificant barbarian land and would never support anyone to occupy it, but would instead strongly oppose it.
In a word, he knew where the right path was, but the problem was that no one else knew!
If there is anything more difficult than changing one's conception in these terms, it must be changing everyone's conception.
This task is so difficult that even those with a perseverance like silence feel hope is slim. Looking up at the blue sky, he couldn't help but roar: "Ah, regret, it's so dangerous, the difficulty of Shu Road is as difficult as the sky!"
"Cancong and Yugui, why are you confused when you founded the country..." A voice with a slightly foreign emphasis sounded behind him. It turned out that Zaberi, who had changed his clothes, also appeared on the deck.
"You are 48,000 years old and will not be connected with Qin Pass." Silence was slightly surprised that this foreigner could recite Tang poetry and continued.
"There is a bird path in the west to Taibai, which can cross the Emei charcoal!" Shabulu continued to respond.
Chen Si was a little dazed and murmured: "Does it really take the land to collapse and destroy the heroes to die? Only then can there be a ladder and stone stack connected together?"
Shabu smiled and said, "Yes, because there are six dragons above and the high standard of the sun, and the waves below and the back of the river. The yellow crane cannot fly over, and the ape is worried about climbing and climbing."
It made me silent and said with a depressed look: "I heard that the night moon was crying again, and I was worried about the empty mountains. The road to Shu is more difficult than that of the blue sky, so that people can hear this withering their red faces." I said, Father, do you insist on making me worry to death?"
Shabu smiled and said, "Along the way, I saw the adults occasionally frowning, sometimes sighing softly, and now they recite Li Taibai's poems. I can't help but guess that you may encounter something difficult." After a pause, I added, "It's very difficult, it's very difficult."
"Haha" couldn't help but laugh: "Father, I'm just asking for advice."
"Sir, please speak." Xavi said respectfully.
"You are a noble family and well-educated. You should live a respected and noble life." Silently said slowly: "Why can you leave your own things behind, travel thousands of miles, travel across the ocean to unfamiliar Asia to preach, and have been wandering for decades, and have suffered so much that you almost lost your life. But as far as I know, "your work has actually achieved little success, and most regions do not accept your faith."
"It's like this." Zabuliu has the honesty that the Orientals do not have, and said, "So I don't attract the center of Eastern civilization. As long as the Ming Dynasty accepts us, the entire Oriental World will accept it."
"Don't always wear a high hat for me." Silent shook his head and said, "My question is, where do you have such strong confidence to support you in this difficult road." Maybe you will never see the end." He said, "There is a saying that the sea of suffering is boundless and the shore is the shore. Have you never thought of returning to Spain, returning to your relatives and friends, and living that kind of respected and superior life?"
After hearing the silent question, Xavier was a little lost. After a while, he whispered: "It is false to say that he has not shaken, especially when he is turned away, suspected of making sarcasm, and is so tired that he can't even eat enough, he will think that it's better to just forget it." He shrugged and said: "But I am a mission of the Jesuit Society. I traveled across the ocean to the Far East. I have accomplished nothing in twenty years, how can I retreat halfway?
"But I am forgiving that the Eastern world has its own belief system and ideology." Silently, "It's too difficult for you to achieve your goal." Maybe it won't be possible for generations.
Zabby nodded and said, "You are right. Through the missionary to Japan, I particularly agree with this. The Eastern world believes in Buddhism. If you want to replace it, it is indeed difficult to go to the sky."
"Then you still" said silently.
"Since I have chosen to be a clergy and for my lifelong career, and since I have sworn before the statue of the Virgin, I will devote my whole life to spreading the gospel of the Lord." Shabulu said leisurely: "Then I will be destined to be this road in my life." At this moment, he was neither sad nor happy, but only pure faith, and the sound of the waves could not cover his firm voice: "I also know that I may fall on this road. But if I can point out a correct path for future generations, I believe that I will complete my mission," and said to silently: "I feel that many things are not a generation, and can be done well, just like planting a ginkgo tree. Maybe after you plant it, you will never see it in your life, but you can enjoy its benefits when you reach your grandchildren." He also spread his hands habitually: "Although I can't taste the fruit of victory, they can't steal the glory that belongs to me, because I planted that village."
After hearing Shaburo's words, he fell into deep thought. When the boat entered Shanyin River from Houhai and then entered Jianhu again, he came to his senses and said to Shaburo apologetically: "I'm sorry, Father, I'm distracted."
Seeing that he was refreshed, his face was filled with sorrow. He smiled and said, "Contemplation is the cultivation of the soul. If you have something to gain, it is really gratifying."
Silent laughed and said, "Thanks to your words, yes, I have thought it through clearly. I was worried about gains and losses before, and my psychological burden was too heavy, but I won't even know anything in the future. Thank you, Father."
Although Shabulu didn't know what he meant, he looked very happy when he saw the silence's heart opened, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Sir, can I walk around in Shaoxing City?"
"Of course" said silently, "Your freedom is completely unrestricted, but if you are watched, please forgive me."
"I've been tamed." Shabu smiled and said, "Just just visit my relatives, don't think about me." As he shook the Confucian robe on his body, he asked silently, "How is it, I still think that's the case."
Silent smiled and nodded, "It's very similar."
,know, ten thousand
Jianhu is known as 800 miles away, close to Shaoxing City. But that was the matter of the Han Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, wealthy families have continuously silted rivers and built fields around the lake, making the water surface of Jianhu more and more. Now, taking a boat from Jianhu can no longer enter the city immediately. After docking at the dock at the lakeside pier, they have to walk for twenty or thirty miles. Moreover, because there is no prior notice, whether they can meet a carriage waiting for tourists depends entirely on their own fortune. If they are not lucky, the thirty miles can only rely on two legs.
The luck of silentness is not bad. There is indeed a carriage on the dock, and it is also a canopy. But the house is not a special person, but is waiting to purchase goods, because you can smell it from afar, a strong fishy smell that comes out of the carriage.
Wow, it's really Salon, everyone can't help but cover their noses.
But if you don’t take this ride, you can only walk back. Now it’s already afternoon, so you can’t get into the city and you can only sleep outside the city for a night.
Sanchi asked for advice from silent. Silence was already homesick and did not want to delay for another night. He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, it's okay to go back to my own home, it's okay to have a little smell on his body!"
