Things get trickier and trickier as time goes on. Yelu Zongyuan sent the three princes to check the progress, and when they saw the few soldiers and horses of more than 1,000 people in the Snake Island Dazhai, the three princes were extremely disappointed. Three months have passed, and with such progress, the cowhide of raising 10,000 soldiers and horses in half a year is about to break. After the third prince Yelushi returned to China, the armor, weapons, and food that were originally planned to arrive began to stop. Yelushi said that unless Hai Dongqing came up with results, all supplies would be stopped.

Hai Dongqing is helpless, he is the one who loses his trust, and he can't blame the Liao people. He struggled to find a solution, but found that there was nothing he could do. At this time, news came from the Liao State that the Jurchens were in rebellion in eastern Liao, and Yelu Zongyuan led a large army north to quell the rebellion, and the plan to attack the Great Zhou was temporarily shelved. The Liao State and the Great Zhou resumed the Yanyun Alliance, and the relationship between the two sides was temporarily eased. Hai Dongqing let out a long breath, and this incident also allowed him to breathe. The planned coordinated launch around October will also be postponed. If the Jurchens are not removed, Yelu Zongyuan will have no time to look south.

But the problem is that even with a respite, the recruitment process has stalled. If it goes on like this, when Yelu Zongyuan returns from the rebellion, he still can't pull up a soldier and horse that is enough to stir up the situation. If that is the case, the agreement between himself and Yelu Zongyuan will be null and void, and he can only be a bystander.

Hai Dongqing frowned, he led people to sneak inland, tossing and turning between several state capitals, like an ant on a hot pot. It was during this period that Gyeonggi and even the western part of Gyeongsi were facing a severe drought. One day, when he was staying overnight in a small village in Yingtianfu, he saw that the people in the village took out their belongings and offered them to the local gods, and asked the gods to send a message to the dragon lord to pray for rain. Looking at the pious people who were prostrate on the ground and kowtowing, and looking at the god man sitting on the high platform, Hai Dongqing suddenly opened his mind like an initiation.

Hai Dongqing is indeed a talent, his life is colorful and colorful, and he has experienced countless ups and downs and waves. From the revenge of his youth and the later outlaw to the later occupation of the island as king. The breadth of his experience is unparalleled. Because of this, his breadth of knowledge is also unmatched by ordinary people. Although he has not read for a few days, his insight into human nature and the things of the world is no less than that of many people who read and reason. He was able to occupy the island for more than ten years and became the leader of one of the largest green forest bandits in the Great Zhou, naturally not only relying on luck and ferocity, but also with a lot of wisdom and stratagem. He may not be a hero, but he is definitely a heroic figure who is full of wisdom, knows how to improvise, and is good at getting out of difficulties. He is not like any Green Forest bandit, who only pursues the pleasure of drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, he is ambitious. Looking at this point in the world, I'm afraid few people dare to think so.

It is precisely because of these characteristics of Hai Dongqing that he has seen through many things, seen some things clearly, and dared to try what ordinary people dare not do. And this time, he got a lot of inspiration from this prayer for rain. Hai Dongqing knew that it was impossible for that god to talk to the Dragon King, he was just deceiving the people. But the people looked up to him like a god. It's not how smart the gods are, it's just that the people are too stupid and life is too difficult. If the god can enjoy the respect and worship of the people, why can't he?

Hai Dongqing used to have many talented people around him. For example, when he was on Peach Blossom Island, Xu Xing, a military advisor next to him, was a well-informed person. From Xu Xing, Hai Dongqing learned a lot of things. Xu Xing once told him a lot of great truths in books. 'The people may make it, but they cannot know it.' ’。 What Qin Emperor burned books and pit Confucianism is to fool the people of the world, make them dull and easy to control, and so on. At that time, Hai Dongqing didn't understand much, but at this moment, Hai Dongqing suddenly seemed to understand something. These ignorant people are the greatest capital that can be used, so why can't we use them ourselves? I focused on recruiting heroes from the green forest before, but I didn't ignore the people everywhere at all. Aren't these all people? They took up arms, wasn't they a herd of soldiers?

Hai Dongqing locked himself in an inn in Yingtianfu for three days and three nights, just like the painstaking thoughts before becoming a Buddha, he suddenly had an epiphany. It's just that after the epiphany, it was not a Buddha who came out, but an even more terrifying demon.

In the past three days, he thought of a plan to take advantage of the current drought in the world, and he wanted to become a god in the minds of the people, just like that god. He will make the people bow down to him and be sent by himself. When their own cows, horses, lambs.

Of course, there is no way for Hai Dongqing to create a completely new set of religious doctrines and systems, but fortunately, there are many religious sects in the Great Zhou, and there is no need to worry about having no reference. So he picked up the article of Buddhism not eating meat, chose the Taoist theory of ghosts and gods, and absorbed the doctrine of self-supremacy and respect for outsiders and demons from Zoroastrianism, and even absorbed the idea of three obedience and four virtues generally recognized by the Great Zhou. Miscellaneous all of this was mixed together to create the four different freaks of Qingjiao.

The title of Shenggong is exactly the name that Xu Xing came up with for himself when the island of flowers was about to fall. In the past few days, Hai Dongqing has become more and more aware of the importance of Xu Xing to himself. If Xu Xing was by his side, everything would be much easier. He took the title of Shenggong as the title of the head of his Qingjiao, which was not only a kind of remembrance of Xu Xing, but also the meaning of remembering the disaster of the destruction of Peach Blossom Island.

When the Qingjiao was founded, it was a month of drought in the north, and the imperial court issued a new law, and official loans forced people to come. The people in the western part of Gyeonggi and Gyeongseo were like scorching in the fire and water, and fled from exile. At this time, a group of mysterious figures in the Yingtianfu area began to distribute food to the people and relieve the people. These people haunt the countryside and towns, neither disturbing the people, nor domineering, and they will always appear in front of someone's door when someone is in trouble. They silently put down food, clothing, silver, and other things, and then left silently.

The people were puzzled at first, but then they searched for each other. Finally, news began to spread, those people were the messengers of the Qingjiao, the Holy Father of the Qingjiao sent to help the suffering, the timely rain to save the people from fire and water, and the guiding light in the darkness. The more low-key and mysterious these people are, the more curious the people will be. About the Qingjiao, about the Holy Father, about the doctrine, a lot of things they want to know or don't want to know finally came into their field of vision. When the people are struggling to make a living, those who send charcoal in the snow will be regarded as benefactors by the people and will be the most respected. At this time, anything that can save oneself will become a lifesaver and the sustenance of the people. Soon, many people began to join the Qingjiao, and the number of Qingjiao followers began to increase explosively from the countryside to the towns. The initial low-key behavior gradually became semi-public, not only did the people spontaneously spread the word of mouth, but also the Qingjiao followers organized a doctrinal preaching conference to recruit the people into the church.

Even Hai Dongqing himself did not expect that the nondescript youth education he founded would flourish in a very short period of time. The speed and enthusiastic response caught Hai Dongqing off guard. By the end of the year, the number of Qingjiao members in the entire Yingtianfu, including the large prefecture capital and county area of Jingxi Road, had exceeded 50,000.

The scale is so large and the development is so fast, even Hai Dongqing himself is worried. The momentum of the fear was too great to attract the attention of the imperial court. But apparently, his worries were superfluous, and the attention of the imperial court was clearly not here. The court is changing the law, a new law is introduced, and the people are scolding, but the court doesn't care. Therefore, more and more people choose to devote themselves to the Qingjiao, pinning their hopes on their holy father, and pinning their future on the salvation that does not exist. In other words, they are huddling together for warmth, and the Qingjiao claims mutual assistance and mutual love, everyone is a brother and sister, will not oppress each other, and will help themselves, which is much better than the imperial court for themselves.

Hai Dongqing finally put his mind at ease, the court's ignorance was his opportunity, and the new law of the court gave him a chance. Natural and man-made disasters and the hardships of the people have made the great development of Qingjiao. He seized this opportunity, which was undoubtedly like God's help, and it couldn't be stopped. Even Hai Dongqing sometimes wonders if this is the so-called God Blessing. Maybe he is the one God blessed, and God will help him. His own luck is coming, and Da Zhou's qi may be exhausted.

Hai Dongqing decided to take advantage of this opportunity to increase the speed of expansion, and to this extent, he already had a huge capital to ask the Liao people for supplies and silver. He secretly invited Yelushi, the third prince who was sitting in the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, to come to Yingtianfu to check, and when Yelushi saw the large-scale gathering of the congregation, he was stunned when he saw the scene of thousands of people kneeling down on the street to worship the Holy Father. It took Hai Dongqing eight or nine months to accept so many members of the sect in the name of the Youth Sect, which is simply incredible. The third prince immediately decided to report the matter to Yelu Zongyuan, and immediately resumed the supply of food, materials and money for Hai Dongqing's needs. With a steady supply of materials and money, Haidong Qing was able to quickly promote and consolidate the youth education in Gyeongseo Province and began to expand to Gyeonggi Province. At the same time, after having weapons and equipment in hand, he also began to secretly select the congregation, arm the congregation, and prepare for the uprising.

Up to now, the number of Qingjiao members has exceeded 123,000, and the entire Gyeongse-do and several prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi-do have become the dominant group of Qingjiao. And he, the Holy Father, has long become an unattainable person in the minds of all believers.

Hai Dongqing achieved the goal he originally envisioned, and like the god at the beginning, he became a god in the minds of the ignorant people.
