Chapter 1189 Big Blue Eyes

The new church is a typical Baroque building, designed and supervised by Deng Yuhan himself.

The entire church covers an area of ​​more than twenty square miles, and there are many other functional buildings attached to it.

The most eye-catching thing is that the church is towering into the sky, majestic and majestic, which is awe-inspiring at first sight.

From Zuo Menggeng's perspective, the scale of this church even far exceeds the world-famous Cologne Cathedral.

There are a total of twelve pillars soaring into the sky.

At the top of each root is a huge statue of a person.

This represents the Twelve Apostles.

In the middle of the guard guarded by the twelve disciples is an extremely huge cross.

The cross is made entirely of steel and weighs over fifteen tons.At the same time, it was painted a majestic deep black, which made the image of Jesus on it even more compassionate.

At the main entrance of the church, all the Catholics headed by Xu Ruolin gathered to pray, with happy and glorious smiles on their faces.

This moment is definitely the most glorious scene for Catholics in the Eastern world.

They have gone through hardships and endured countless setbacks, until now they have gained a firm foothold on the land of the East.A breakthrough has been made, and an infinitely bright future is embraced.

Although to this day, Catholic doctrine has been tampered with a lot, and even some are beyond recognition.

But what does that matter?

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain.

As long as the gospel of God can spread to the world, that is enough.

Although they were no longer recognized by the Holy See, and were even declared traitors, they were no longer rootless weeds from then on.

Zuo Menggeng once said a word, which made them even more excited, and set up the goal of fighting for life.

The Romans once killed Jesus, but in the end God's will stood on the land of Rome.As long as they always uphold the pious belief, it is not impossible to return to Rome and preside over the teachings.

Can this ideal be realized?
If it was before, everyone was very skeptical.But now, after feeling the strength of the Xia Kingdom more and more deeply, they all firmly believe that the door of Rome will definitely be opened to them.

After the inauguration ceremony, everyone surrounded Zuo Menggeng and walked into the church.

"In the past, I always felt that there were barbarians outside of Middle-earth, but now that I see them, I'm waiting to sit and watch the sky."

Qian Qianyi, Chen Hongshou and others, as representatives of Chinese culture and art, felt the essence of European religious culture firsthand, and their thoughts were greatly shaken.

It can be said that the appearance of this church completely shattered their arrogance of claiming to be a kingdom of heaven.

From now on, they can look at the whole world with more peaceful and fair eyes.

This is quite important.

After all, as the guides of Chinese culture, their mentality will profoundly affect the philosophy of the entire nation.

In this turbulent era of great voyages, a nation with the concepts of openness, tolerance, and justice will definitely not decline.

"Your Highness, we named this church Notre Dame Cathedral, implying the rebirth of God's will in the eastern land."

At the same time as Deng Yuhan introduced, he looked at Xu Ruolin who was in high spirits without any trace.

Obviously, this name has the meaning of flattery.

All Catholics have already determined that if Catholicism wants to prosper in China, it must be closely united around Xu Ruolin.

The current Princess Xia and the future Queen of Middle-earth, relying on her supernatural energy, can completely shield the Catholic Church from wind and rain.

How could Zuo Menggeng not hear it?
But he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

From his point of view, the fact that Catholicism can take root in Middle-earth is not necessarily a bad thing.

Although in the colonial history of the West, Christianity has played a very disgraceful role.But since it can help Western countries become stronger, it must have its good side.

Another point is that although there are many religions in Middle-earth, from a political point of view, all of them have considerable flaws.

Especially in the process of helping the country to open up to the outside world, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, there are serious inherent deficiencies.

The introduction of Catholicism can not only have an impact on these traditional religions, forcing them to complete their evolution; but also absorb the best parts of them and help the country join the world of great controversy.

After some visits, whether you are a Catholic or not, you have gained considerable insights here.

The crowd scattered around, divided into several groups, and discussed enthusiastically.

Some are discussing religion, some are discussing art, and some are discussing ideas.

Among the clamoring voices, what Zuo Menggeng saw was the conflict and integration of East and West.

This is exactly what he wants.

"Honorable Highness, I have made a new kind of pizza, please try it."

With a red face, Cheslet brought new food for everyone.

Zuo Menggeng picked it up casually, and didn't take it seriously at first, but his expression changed as soon as he ate it.

"This is……"

"Your Highness, spit it out, is there something wrong?"

Fu Xinyuan was terrified by his performance, and he rushed forward immediately, separating Cheslet and Zuo Menggeng, and at the same time he was filled with remorse.

How could he just watch Zuo Menggeng eat whatever he wanted?

If any accident happened, he would die.

Almost instantly, dark guards rushed in from all directions, full of murderous aura.

This scene really frightened Cheslet, and tears filled his big eyes.

At the same time, she was deeply regretful.

Knowing that Zuo Menggeng has a lot to do with it, why would he mess around without authorization?

Zuo Menggeng saw the chaotic scene with black lines all over his head.

"What are you doing? You're making a fuss. There's nothing to do, so you all retreat."

Everyone looked at his flat expression and felt relieved.

The guards withdrew like a tide, but the atmosphere couldn't come back.

Xu Ruolin walked over quickly, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Zuo Menggeng smiled wryly, just holding up the pizza in his hand.

"Cheslet used a new stuffing in it, which is quite novel. I was concerned about it, and I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding."

Hearing that it was just this, Xu Ruolin let out a sigh of relief, and gave him a charming look.

"You, you, you don't think about your own identity. It's really scary to be so foolish."

Zuo Menggeng quickly cupped his hands and apologized to everyone.

When something happened, Zuo Rong didn't express anything.It was just a step, blocking Zuo Menggeng like a wall.

At this moment, seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, he also relaxed, and walked up to Cheslet and comforted him.

"Just a little misunderstanding, ma'am, please don't worry."

Cheslet only felt that he was shrouded in a huge black shadow, as if the whole person was surrounded, full of a sense of security.

She raised her head timidly, meeting Zuo Rong's eyes.

What Zuo Rong saw was only a pair of big blue eyes like deep lakes, with tears crystal clear, mysterious and holy, and extremely penetrating.

Every shiver of the crystal made his heart throb a little.
