A Muslim is not as suspicious when eating bananas as he is when eating pork.Why?That would be too funny, if you simply answer: "Eat mutton instead of pork, just like people eat bananas instead of fish oil candles." This question can only be asked to a mild-tempered Muslim, and ordinary people only use "this is delicious." ” and “That doesn’t taste good” will never be exact. Similarly, why did Nagarjuna believe in Jesus?Apart from saying "religious belief is people's freedom", I have no choice but to ask you to ask Nagarjuna. If you have to ask the bottom line, I have to give you some facts about Nagarjuna, or you can find a conclusion from these facts.Nagarshkoo's parents were a couple who only gambled on money and did not fight for morale.They lay in the coffin with infinite shame, and never fulfilled the auspicious words that people gave when they got married - "grow old together".Although they gambled all their money, they still had great hopes because they had a good son. Nagarjuna could say what his parents wanted to say and do what his parents wanted to do since he was a child.The old man Long carried Nagarjuna on his back and people often said: "If you have a son who is not as filial as Shugu, it is called a camel but a mule, you monster!"

The old man Long believed in Erlang God, because Erlang God has three eyes, the middle eye is in charge of monitoring the casino and blessing devout gamblers.The old lady Long believed in the Lord of the City God. When he was young, Long Shu accompanied his mother as the prodigy in red in front of the city god's sedan chair when he was on tour.In short, Nagarjuna was deeply influenced by religion since childhood. When he was eighteen years old, his parents brought the eldest daughter Luo Laosi from Dongcheng to him in a colorful embroidered sedan chair to be his daughter-in-law.That big girl is only seven or eight years older than him, and she loves him like an older sister.Sometimes the old couple was not at home, and the young couple also fought several times, but fighting and love were not hurt. After fighting, she offered to give him a white and fat little girl——Longfeng.On the second day after Longfeng was born, a Taoist priest told her fortune.The Taoist said: She must become a nun, otherwise she will have to restrain her old relatives.The old Long and his wife loved their granddaughter so much that they couldn't bear to follow what the Taoist said.Sure enough, Longfeng killed all his grandparents when he was less than three years old.So far, the neighbors still feel sorry for the old couple when they see Longfeng!

Since the death of his parents, Nagarjuna has also been active in society.Unfortunately, his society, his government, allowed horse thieves to be generals and gamblers to be generals, but they did not give the status of neither thief nor thief like Nagarjune Koo.Even more unfortunate, his wife also died when Longfeng was eight or nine years old!Her death, according to the doctor, was due to a lack of water and fire, liver qi invading the lungs.But according to the neighbors, it was the fate of the dragon and the phoenix, who defeated the ten clans.Otherwise, why do doctors know that the liver qi is invading the lungs, but they don't prescribe medicine to attack the liver and nourish the lungs?

After the death of his wife, Nagarjuna still couldn't find a job, so he joined the Salvation Army Church and was baptized as a believer.When he first became a believer, the neighbors were very dissatisfied with him, and even met Longfeng, and besides ignoring her, they even called her "foreign girl" in private!Later, when Nagarjuna became an officer, relatives and friends gradually changed their attitudes, and changed Longfeng's "foreign girl" to "female student". Longfeng is now twenty years old. No one can say that she is ugly, but no one can say that she is beautiful.Because her ruddy face will never be painted with lead powder and rouge, her thick eyebrows will never be painted with black ink, and her long and soft hair will never be painted with yellow wax and sesame oil.May I ask if there are any beauties in the world who don't use lead?In addition, her hands are not covered with little red sleeves, and her feet are not wrapped in long strips of cloth like small winter bamboo shoots. I wonder if there are beauties with extravagant hands in the world?

"The mountain girl with wild tunes and no voice! She is a child without a mother, let's not learn from her!" This is what the neighbors said to the girls who pointed at the dragon and phoenix. Their father and daughter were very happy, even though Nagarjuna had great troubles, when he saw his beloved daughter, he immediately beamed with joy.As for her, she tried her best to comfort him and serve him. Nagarjuna indeed felt more comfortable now than when his wife was alive. I can only collect some things about Officer Long. If someone thinks it is too detailed, I have no choice but to invite you to visit Gulou Street.Those old women can give you very rich historical materials, that is, the Taoist priest who told the fortune of the dragon and the phoenix, there are several wives, they can all be mentioned.
