On Luliang Mountain, a man of three or five thick said hatefully. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info couldn't get angry in his heart, and he manipulated a water and fire stick next to him, and the dance was about to start. I saw the stick wind whistling, the ghosts were stacked, and the sand was flying and the stones were gone, so it was not powerful. As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway. After a while, after the big man vented his sulk, he retracted his stick and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Good!"

There was a cheer from behind him, and the big man looked back, frowned, and said, "Fang La, why don't you go to Wang Yu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Brother Wang Hu, the younger brother is obsessed with martial arts, and when he sees the hunt, he can't help but take a few more looks, Brother Wang Hu doesn't blame him, right?" The person who spoke was named Fang La, a native of Shezhou. This person has been the owner of the lacquer garden for generations, and he can have no worries about food and clothing by guarding the lacquer tree. However, Fang La has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he is also ambitious, and he was bewitched by the Maitreya Sect in Shezhou at the age of sixteen and joined the church. At present, Fang La, who is only seventeen years old, can also make a single knife, wielding it so that it is impossible to penetrate, and it is difficult for people and ghosts to approach.

This Han is a wanted criminal in the Dashun Imperial Court, the "Jinyang Fierce Tiger" Wang Hu. Previously, he was bewitched, and he also had the intention of seizing the inheritance of the Wang family, and as an adopted son, he led the private soldiers of the Wang family in a vain attempt to resist the imperial army. Unexpectedly, as soon as the forbidden army arrived, he was defeated in a few rounds, which made him laugh. Later, he was afraid that the imperial court would settle accounts after the autumn, so he and the ambitious Wang Yu escaped into the Luliang Mountains together, changed their appearance, and avoided the court's sea fishing documents. They were unwilling to fail, and they couldn't get along with the imperial court, so they all joined Manichaeism, and used some "evil magic" to bewitch many fools and fools, and even pulled up a good team. It's just that now Dashun has been peaceful for a long time, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it's okay to support the gods and Buddhas, but if you rise up to rebel, it is difficult.

Wang Hu was used to living a luxurious life before, but now on Luliang Mountain, he only relied on the "incense money" of the believers, and he lived an extremely light life, so it was no wonder that he had so much resentment in his heart. Martial artists don't eat meat, where do they get nutrition to maintain their strength? Fortunately, Fang La took a group of Maitreya believers and donated a lot of incense money to Manichaeism, which can be regarded as improving his life.

In fact, Manichaeism and Maitreya are both from the same sect, which was introduced into the Great Food Country, and is also translated as "Mingjiao", and the teachings are concisely summarized as "pure, bright, vigorous, and wise". Among the congregations are peasants, talents, officials, soldiers, heroes of the green forest, Jiangyang thieves, and martial arts Junyan. The believers are white-clothed and black-hatted, secretly form a society, and jointly worship the Ming envoy as the god of the church. At that time, because it was in a state of secret association, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears and avoid being banned by the government, the name of the religion also had a variety of aliases, in addition to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jinyang and other places called Manichaeism, Fujian called Mingjiao, Huainan called "Erjunizi", Jiangdong called "Siguo", Jiangxi called "King Kong Zen", Fujian also called "Jiedi Zhai", Mini Sect, Mingzun Sect and so on.

This Ming religion reveres Zhang Jiao as its ancestor, worships Mani (or translated as "Muni") as the god of light, and worships the sun and the moon. Christians wear white clothes, advocate vegetarianism, abstain from alcohol, and bury naked; Emphasizing solidarity and mutual assistance, it is called a family, believing that the light in the world will eventually triumph over the dark forces.

The Manichaeans did not go well when they first entered China, and they tried to preach under the guise of Buddhism. In the previous dynasty, the king of Tocharian once offered a Muja to China and was received by the royal family. However, the religion did not have a monastery in China, and even the emperor of the previous dynasty saw the dangers of Manichaeism, and soon ordered the Chinese to strictly prohibit participation in Manichaeism on the grounds that it was "originally a heretical view, falsely claiming that Buddhism was confusing Li Yuan."

At the same time as Manichaeism was introduced to the Central Plains, it was also introduced to the Uighurs shortly thereafter, and was designated as the state religion by the latter. After the continuous uprisings of the former dynasties, the Manichaeans were able to preach in the Central Plains with the support of the Hui Hui because of their meritorious contribution to helping the Central Plains to quell the turmoil. The emperor of the previous dynasty allowed the Hui Manichaeans to build the Manichaean Temple in Chang'an, the Dayun Guangming Temple. Subsequently, at the request of Hui Su, temples were built in Jingzhou, Hongzhou, Yuezhou and other prefectures. Later, two Mani temples were built in Henan and Taiyuan, and commissioners were sent to protect them. Since then, Manichaean monasteries have spread throughout China. Manichaean priests came to China with ****** envoys, who were courteously courteous to the previous emperor and spread rapidly in China.

Later, the Uighurs were defeated by the Hui and the state declined, and the attitude of the previous dynasty towards the Uighurs and Manichaeism immediately changed. The state of Hui declined, and the royal family of the previous dynasty suddenly changed its previous state and ordered the ban on the Mani Temple in the towns of Jianghuai. When the law of Huichang was martyred, Manichaeism could not escape its catastrophe, and the history contains: "In the middle of April of the third year of Huichang, the world killed the Manichaean master, shaved his hair and ordered him to wear a robe, and killed him in the shape of a sand gate. In this difficulty, the imperial court ordered the confiscation of Manichaean assets, books and statues, etc., and because some Manichaean believers did not resist, the number of Manichaeans in Chang'an reached 72.

Manichaeism was banned before Zoroastrianism and Nestorianism, and the historical records are also more detailed, which shows that the religion was quite popular in the early period. At that time, Manichaeism was prevalent in the northwest and north China, and in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, Manichaeism also had a certain influence due to the sea exchanges with Persia and other countries. After the catastrophe of Huichang, Manichaeism could no longer be openly preached in society, but was secretly circulated among the people, and gradually combined with other religions, and endured. From then on, Mingjiao combined with the struggle of the lower classes and became the main force of the rebellion against the imperial court. Often, every time the peasants are in turmoil, clues can be found in the Mingjiao provocation.

As for the ambitious Wang Yuken to meet Fang La, it was because he was in extreme distress now. Although the people of Jinyang City are easy to fool, they are also poor families and do not have much food. If you want to do this, you have to contact your allies. In the area of Shezhou, there were many members of the Maitreya Sect, and Wang Yu moved his mind before he "sincerely and earnestly" accepted Fang La and "discussed major matters together".

Wang Hu got Wang Yu's instructions, and he didn't dare to offend Fang La at will, but frowned and said, "You kid, you also know martial arts?" ”

"I know a little bit about it!" Although Fang La is young, he has a lot of eyes, and he also understands that Wang Yu's deliberate greeting is uneasy and kind. Although he is the representative of the Maitreya Sect in Shezhou, because he is too small, he is not taken seriously, and Wang Yu is even more bent on taking advantage of them. Fang La was indignant in her heart and wanted to prove herself. happened to see Wang Hu dancing with a gun and stick, and immediately made an idea.

Wang Hu has a rugged appearance, but he is not a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. It's just that Fang La's appearance is too deceptive, and he is a little disdainful in his heart: "Forget it, let's let other brothers come, I don't want to hurt Brother Fang......"

Fang La said "sincerely": "I sincerely ask Brother Wang Hu for advice, I hope Brother Wang Hu will not push back." ”

With that, he stretched out a kick that hit a single knife guard on the weapon rack. I saw that after the knife danced in the air for dozens of turns, Fang La jumped suddenly, and in the cold light, he was holding the handle of the knife. This hand seems simple, but it requires the same eyesight and body coordination in order to be able to play tricks boldly. When Wang Hu saw it, he was quite surprised: "Little Brother Fang is deeply hidden!" (To be continued.) )
