Chapter 452: Mission
1. "I think you should build a Taoist temple. ”
In King Shi's palace, Yang Feng said to Li Guiyi solemnly with a wine glass.
The latter was looking at the princess.
The princess of the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by maids, like a Lingbo fairy walking towards the residence prepared for her, because it took a lot of time to clean up the ruins at the city gate, at this time it is already night, the princess in the thick twilight has a layer of green fluorescence, she is dreamlike in the fluorescence, and as she walks, the fluorescence is also constantly fluttering gently, all the stone maids and guards standing on both sides are all with the eyes of worshiping the gods, looking at this goddess who came to the world.
"Taoism?"
Li Guiyi said with some doubts.
"Yes, Taoism."
Yang Feng said with certainty.
"Of course, I'm not saying that you should change your beliefs, we are not cannibals, and the Tang Dynasty faith is free, but you must know that the ancestors of our Tang Emperor are Taoist saints, and they are posthumously honored by Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Taiqing Palace is dedicated to Emperor Xuanyuan, and you also build a Taoist temple that also worships Emperor Xuanyuan, which can not only facilitate the princess to come over in the future, but also show your loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It can even allow them to communicate more with your people.
Especially when it comes to religion.
Speaking of which, there must be a deity.
You see, I'm cultivating immortals, and I've already achieved a little success.
But the gods are certainly not divided into religions, countries, nations, etc., the gods are the gods, and I have always wondered whether your gods and our gods are misunderstood just because of the difference in language and knowledge.
For example, you Ahula. Mazda.
In your religion, Ahura. Mazda created everything in the universe, and in our religion everything in the universe was also created by God Haotian, so could they be a god? After all, we speak different languages, and we have never seen them, and for this reason, our ancestors gave them different names, and then passed down from generation to generation, and each of us became our respective gods, but in fact they were human beings.
And those of your gods.
Could it be that our gods are called differently by your name?
What is God after all?
He who transcends mortals is God.
In our religion, Haotian God is the creator of all things in this universe, and he is also the creator of human beings, but he does not have a specific image, he created the universe, he also incarnates the universe, he is with all of us, he is the will of this universe, but he does not directly govern this universe, but is replaced by those who sincerely believe in him and have extraordinary abilities, these people are also gods, and the gods live in the heavenly realm, but the heavenly realm is not the sky that we see with our naked eyes, but another world created by Haotian God, A better world that can live forever and be all-encompassing.
When mortal souls die, they will enter the fairy realm and be judged by the gods, and the guilty will be sent to the netherworld to be punished, even eternally.
Innocent mortals will be sent to reincarnation.
Those who have great merit will enjoy eternal joy in the heavenly realm.
Of course, some people who have obtained the power beyond mortals through cultivating immortals, when they reach the god level, they can also open the gate of heaven and enter the heavenly realm to become gods, for example, Emperor Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Tang Emperor, he is the one who cultivates immortals and becomes a god, and those who have not yet reached the god level are immortals, for example, I am already about to enter the threshold of immortals, if I keep practicing like this, maybe one day in the future, I can also open the gate of heaven and become a god.
That's roughly what our system of gods is.
But neither the gods nor the immortals can only be in the east when they are in the world, especially those gods, they can even travel through the universe, back and forth to the sun, moon and stars, how can it be only in the Tang Dynasty, if they come to you, with their power beyond mortals, they will definitely be worshiped by your ancestors, so are the gods recorded in your religious books them? For example, if I don't say that I am a general of the Tang Dynasty, I just go to one of your cities, and then show my abilities to those people, will those people regard me as a god? ”
Yang Feng said.
Needless to say?
Li Guiyi was speechless in his heart.
Just the scene where this guy smashed the city wall with a mace just now, if it weren't for the fact that everyone knew that he was the general of the Tang Dynasty and the envoy of the river, then the people in this city would definitely think that the gods had descended.
Even so, his refreshment of the three views of the people of the countries in the river over the years is also very serious, although the river is mainly Zoroastrianism, and there are some Manichaeism, Buddhism and Nestorianism, but in the final analysis, it is still believed in various gods, and the people's cognition of the gods, that is, the ability to surpass mortals, even those gods and liars can be respected with some tricks, not to mention that this is a real one, especially those soldiers who have accompanied him in the south, after seeing his ability, it is false to say that they are not shocked by him.
But the problem is that he is not the god of the religions of the river!
He is an immortal cultivator of the Tang Dynasty.
He was just a Great Tang Immortal, a disciple of a Great Tang Immortal who had not yet advanced to the gods.
The apprentices of people who have not yet reached the level of gods are so strong, the immortals who are higher than him, the gods who are higher than the immortals, how powerful they are, and more importantly, their immortal system, or the Taoist belief system, has been confirmed by Yang Feng's real example, of course, and now with the addition of the Tang Princess, they already have two real examples, that ......
What about the gods of the religion in the river who only exist in mythology?
Could it be that there are two more gods?
However, no religion will admit that there are two kinds of gods, but Zoroastrianism has evil gods, Nestorianism has demons, and Buddhism also has demons......
Don't dare to say it!
Do you dare to say that Yang Dashuai is a demon, believe it or not that he killed your whole family?
What's more, if he is an evil god or a demon, then there is no god and Buddha to clean him up, but let his days pass more and more, and he has almost turned the entire river into his territory, it can't be a god who can't do demons, right? If the gods can't do the devil, then everyone just believe in the devil, anyway, it doesn't matter to the common people! What's more, the Tang princess in front of her, no matter how you look at it, she is a goddess, and she has nothing to do with demons and evil gods.
In short, the countries in the river have been completely disrupted by Yang Feng in terms of faith?
"In that case, then listen to Champion Hou!"
Li Guiyi said.
Faith or anything is none of his business, as a monarch he only cares about interests, and building such a Taoist temple is absolutely no harm to him, not to mention that as a subject country, build a temple for the ancestors of the Tang Emperor, which will definitely make the Tang Emperor happy, not to mention that he was given the surname Li, so it is natural to build a temple for the Xuanyuan Emperor.
"The king really knows the general situation!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
As long as the Taoist temple is built, the rest of the thing is nothing more than imperceptible, when the time comes, select a few Taoist priests to come over, the funds are provided by him, usually give medical treatment to help the poor, adopt orphans to open a school to teach Taoist classics, of course, it has to be a classic book compiled by him, and by the way, it will also promote Chinese characters. Not to mention that playing with medical skills is absolutely easy to use, at this time, the witch doctor in the river does not distinguish between medical skills, there is no difference between curing diseases and killing people, An Fat Man's old business is this, a person with basic medical knowledge can definitely be treated as a living immortal here, and he can set up a medical crash course to train those so-called Taoist priests......
The so-called Taoist priests.
Of course, he couldn't really find a bunch of old Taoist priests from the mainland, and the Yang School Taoism he wanted to promote here was estimated to be able to make the old Taoist priests in the mainland angry to death.
These so-called Taoist priests must be cultivated by himself.
This is just a matter of selecting a group of veterans from those closest to him, these are his fanatical followers, he is what he says, and they have all followed him to study night school and are basically literate, compiling a new book for them, just say that they were taught by their immortal masters, and then clarify his set of celestial systems that he is familiar with, at most eliminate the demon theory, this era does not need this, this era wants to kill if you want, people are very simple, killing Hulu is as natural for them as killing pigs and sheep, There's no need to do anything else.
These people then learned some basic medical and pharmacy knowledge, and received a salary from him, to those Taoist temples that used medicine as bait to attract those Sogdians to Taoist temples, gave medicine and medicine while instilling his set of things, opened orphanages to train the next generation, and even relied on their special status to take on lawsuits......
In short, learn from the missionaries.
Although it is not a system, it must be admitted that those missionaries in modern times are quite successful, and their missionary methods are also worth learning, Yang Dashuai has always been unceremoniously borrowed from the successful experience of others, just as he borrowed the methods of the Arabs to deal with slaves, he also had to learn from the methods of those European missionaries to spread Taoism in the river, and finally complete the Taoism of this land.
He did not need to purge these Sogdians in the river, but only used foreign raids to continuously consume their young and middle-aged people, so that their population growth stagnated or even decreased, and then at the same time continued to emigrate to increase the proportion of Han people here, this land is vast and rich enough, Han immigrants will not conflict with the locals at all, on the contrary, because it is impossible to immigrate too much in a short period of time, he will actually have to rely on these Sogdians and Turgish when he invades foreign countries in the future.
Next, he still has a place to grab, not to mention that one India alone is enough to gnaw for decades, from here across Afghanistan to the south, this is the route of the Mughal Dynasty to conquer India.
Therefore, the best way for him to absorb the Sogdian, Turgish, Tocharian and other peoples in this area is to absorb them.
They didn't have much of a population anyway.
