Chapter 53 4 The Creation of Gods

Summoned by Li Tianhao again, Ancadiri chuckled in his heart.

Since the last time he had a stalemate with Li Tianhao, Ancadiri has not seen Li Tianhao again. Of course, Li Tianhao's disrespectful words were written word for word in the letter to the high priest Khambagir, but Ancadir did not add fuel to it, on the one hand, his personal cleanliness made him unwilling to do so, and on the other hand, because he really couldn't think of anything more disrespectful to God than what Li Tianhao said.

Later, during the siege and defense of Epsommiton, he accepted Tia's proposal and sent cathars to defend the city. In this tragic and unusual battle, the cathars in the city of Epsommiton were almost completely wiped out, and Ancadiri himself was shot by an arrow.

The more he thought about it during the period of recuperation, the more frightened he felt, not because Li Tianhao came back one step later and his life could not be saved, but because the 20,000 cathars handed over to him by the high priest of Kumbagir had lost nearly 7,000 people in less than half a year, and more than a third of the troops could never return to Palci, and it contained a large number of children and masters of aristocratic families, and it was difficult for him to explain this alone to Kumbagir and many families. Of course, he can put the blame on Li Tianhao, but no matter what, his evaluation in the heart of Master Kumbagir is bound to be greatly reduced. And what's even worse is that the mission of evangelism has not been on track at all, and after the war, Li Tianhao forcibly ordered most of the people in the apologetics to be transferred to repair the temple, and at present, all the apologists in the apologetics have been reduced to coolies except for the children of the nobility who have been spared. If these things were known to Kumbagil, he would be to blame.

Now that he has just recovered from his injury, he was summoned by Li Tianhao, and I really don't know what unlucky things are waiting for me. Ancadiri is not stupid. It's just that the people he came into contact with in the past were all believers in God, and he met someone like Li Tianhao who had no respect for God at all. He couldn't guess what the other party was thinking.

Ancadili, who was uneasy and humiliated, stepped into Li Tianhao's reception room.

Unexpectedly, Li Tianhao was not the only one here, and there was a middle-aged man of medium stature sitting in the room. Ancadili had an impression of him, and it was Wei Song, who had a meeting with him when he passed through the Dils Mountains. Ancadiri had a good impression of this man, a gentle and capable man, who solved the chaos caused by the cathars at the time with a single move. At that moment, Ankadili nodded slightly to Wei Song.

Li Tianhao saw Ankadiri and said with a smile: "Lord Ankadiri, please take a seat." ”

Li Tianhao's attitude made Ankadiri even more vigilant, and said, "Thank you, Lord Lord." I wonder what the lord will do when he comes down? ”

Li Tianhao continued to smile and said, "Please come here today, my lord, there is indeed something important to discuss." I've heard that you're injured and inconvenient to disturb your recuperation. Now that I heard that the adult has recovered from his injury, this matter really needs to be implemented as soon as possible, so I took the liberty to invite the adult to come here to discuss. ”

"Don't dare to be, even if the lord has something to order, he can only obey his orders, how dare he have any objections."

"Your Excellency, you are serious. He had no objection to proselytizing in the new territory, except to forcibly propagate the doctrine in the form of a cathar. This kind of tactic will only backfire, and in the end, it will backfire and delay things even more. ”

Ankadiri snorted coldly: "These matters should be coordinated by Lord Zai Xia and Master Kumbagir. I can't afford to bother the lord to take such a bother and send the cathars to build the temple for my subordinates. ”

Seeing that Li Tianhao intended to repair it, Ancadiri understood that there must be another reason for it. But he didn't believe that Li Tianhao would make any friendly moves.

Wei Song, who was on the side, stood up and spoke, "Lord Ancadiri, listen to the next word. I heard that in the battle of Epsommiton City the day before yesterday, although the adults were not brave. But he is also calm. I think that the reason why you have been able to do this is because of your strong belief in the god Amun and overcoming your fear. I deeply admire this. ”

"Lord Wei Song has an overreputation. Limited capacity under the You can't spread the light of Amun God, you can only restrain yourself. Ancadili's tone softened Wei Song's tone.

Wei Song smiled. Said: "My lord is too humble. I think that the reason why the High Priest of Khambagir sent you to lead the mission must be because of your firm belief in the god Amun, and I believe that you will faithfully spread the faith of the god Amun to the new territory. Therefore, it is up to you to live up to your mission, and it's up to you to choose which way to use. In the process of proselytizing, we must have struggled through many difficulties, and it is not surprising that we encounter any problems, and in order to solve them, we must try all kinds of possibilities and perseverance in order to succeed. Only when we show the courage to sweep away everything, and at the same time set an example for all the people with our firm conviction, will it be possible to accomplish this important historical mission. If we blame each other for some minor setbacks, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the accomplishment of this mission. Do you say yes? ”

Ancadiri was so high-sounding that Wei Song could not raise a counter-argument, if he still insisted on having trouble with Li Tianhao at this time, it would inevitably seem that he had lost the tolerance of the clergy, so he had to nod and said: "What Lord Wei Song said is very true, compared with the mission of mission, everything else is not enough to worry about. ”

Wei Song nodded with satisfaction and continued, "In that case, here is a small suggestion that may be helpful to your missionary church. ”

"Please advise, and listen to me."

"The people of the new territory were almost all followers of the god Ra without exception, except for a few slaves of different faith, but unfortunately none of them were the people of the god Amun. In such a situation, it may not be easy to convert them to the god Amun. If they were forced to convert, it would have caused great social upheaval, and the effect would not have been better, since the people might have accepted the god Amun only superficially, while secretly continuing to worship the god Ra. It may take a decade, if not decades, for the present people to accept the glory of Amun for future generations. This is obviously a far cry from our original intention. Instead of doing more with less, it is better to take some extraordinary measures. Recently, I consulted the system of the god Ra and the system of the god Amun, and found that their system is actually quite close. The god Ra is the embodiment of the sun, and is the main god of Huayu to nourish the land of Yaji; And the god Amun is the god of the gods and the symbol of the sun. If we sort out the order, we can create a new system: Amun God is the god of all gods, the master of the world, he has a variety of images, the sun is one of his incarnation images, and the image of this incarnation is the god Ra, because of misinformation and was worshiped as the main god by the Akinians, in fact, the god Amun is the god Amun, but it is not comprehensive, the divine power of Amun God is the god Ra when the sun is manifested, and the god Ra is only in charge of the sky, Amun God also rules the earth and the sea, he also controls the monsoon and the rain at the same time, That's why we can nourish the subunit earth. In this way, it only takes a little change to make the people who believe in the god Ra to believe in the higher god Amun, because Amun is Ra and Ra is Amun. As long as this point is confused, the people will easily accept the god Amun. ”

Ancadiri nodded slightly: "Good is good." It's just that this is different from the original doctrine of God Amun. ”

Wei Song whispered in his ear: "The doctrine can be modified, if this move succeeds in converting the people of the new territory in a short period of time, then it is possible to spread it to the entire subbase region, so that the new doctrine will become the mainstream, and the person who created all this is not Lord Kumbagir, but you, Lord Ankadiri, and your great deeds will surely be sung by future generations, which is enough to go down in history." We will also do our best to help make this happen. ”

Ancadili's heart almost stopped beating because of this - if that were the case, the number of followers of the new doctrine would be dozens of times greater than that of the old one! And the creator of this Reformation will undoubtedly become the supreme high priest of the god Amun! By that time, Kembagir will not be able to compete with himself at all!

This temptation was too great, and Ancadiri finally agreed to abandon his previous suspicions and cooperate with Li Tianhao. (To be continued......)

PS: The fusion of Ra and Amun in this section draws on some details from the Egyptian gods, but Amun and Ramun were originally supposed to be one in the Egyptian gods, but later the image of Ra softened the elements of Horus and became the image of the eagle-headed human body, and here the two are changed according to the needs of the novel, splitting into two different gods, and then fused into one again, so as to complete the final fusion of the two countries of different faiths in the plot in terms of faith.
