The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This is the most common beautiful scenery on the grassland.

In the year of war, the tribes killed and plundered each other, the powerful nobles, the enslavement of ordinary herdsmen, although there were many livestock on the grassland, the free grazing land, but it was very few, and the population distribution was very uneven, many reasons, resulting in the huge grassland, everywhere you can see the scene of poverty.

The tribal nobles on the grassland have luxurious tents one by one, with fine wine and meat to eat, which is extremely luxurious, while ordinary tribal people can only rely on grazing to survive.

The concept of hierarchy here is more serious than that of the Central Plains, and it is currently in a slave society.

At the end of the grassland, near the plains, the situation is slightly better.

Although the fertile pasture grass is gradually decreasing, because it is close to the Chinese region, there are some towns on the border, and these towns play the role of mutual trade between the two sides.

Under the condition that the steppe tribes have not invaded the Central Plains for many years, the two sides have exchanged trade and lived in peace for the time being.

Cattle and sheep, which are not very valuable in the grassland, can be exchanged for a lot of cloth, ironware, and tea when they are taken to the Central Plains.

Nomadic tribes in the frontier areas, so they were very wealthy.

Moreover, before the war between the two sides started, these small tribes on the grassland were still in peace, guarding their own acres and threes to live, although they coveted the wealth and stability of the Central Plains, but no one dared to take a piece of the pie at this time.

At this time, the grasslands, the major tribes have their own self-worshipping gods, these gods are mostly grassland gods representing their respective tribal civilizations, and some tribes have totems that only belong to their own tribes.

The people of the Central Plains believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and there are some immortals, and the gods of lakes, rivers and land are also within the scope of worship.

All mortals will inevitably encounter three disasters and eight difficulties, birth, old age, sickness and death, or have many unsatisfying **, and with the ability of manpower, it is extremely difficult to achieve these wishes.

Worship God and pray for God, so that you can prosper.

Because of these needs, whether it is the Wu clan that rises on the grassland, or the temples and Taoist temples that can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains, there is continuous incense.

Even a small temple deep in the mountains must have a cadre of loyal believers.

Among the border towns near the grassland, there is such a small city, which does not look special, whether it is the size of the city or the trade in the city, it is only a medium city among many small border towns.

In the south of this small city, a place in Shilidian, with beautiful scenery and facing the official road, a new Taoist temple was built here more than ten years ago.

This Taoist temple is not big, in total, in addition to the temple of the front hall, there are only a dozen rooms before and after, and there are only a few courtyards, in the front door, the wooden gate is very ordinary, not painted, the wood-colored gate, it seems to make this Taoist temple a little more natural and free taste.

Behind the Taoist temple, next to the back door, there are dozens of acres of fertile land, which are bought by the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple, and are taken care of by tenants.

This newly built Taoist temple is very vigorous.

The people who come to worship the gods often come in groups of three or five, although the popularity is not as good as the well-known Taoist temples in the big city, it is rare among the Taoist temples of the same scale.

The reason for this is that the gods offered by this Taoist temple are quite effective.

When it was first built, a couple who had not had children for many years came to ask for a child, and when they returned, the woman became pregnant.

The young women who came to ask for a good marriage, after they went back, they also married one after another.

Seeking a son and a husband, seeking a prosperous career, and having a prosperous career, this miraculous god naturally attracts people from all over the country to come to worship.

At 7 a.m., the gate of the temple will be opened on time, and the door will be cleared and closed at 5 p.m.

At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and it was close to noon, and there were still many people who came to worship God.

Some of the people walking on the road knew each other well and greeted each other.

The most they talked about was how effective the gods here were, and people who came here for the first time, hearing such remarks, were even more curious and looking forward to this newly built Taoist temple.

When I arrived at the Taoist temple, I saw a bamboo forest, and a corner of the red wall appeared.

A gust of wind passed, and the sound of chanting was heard, and it was a blessed land for cultivation.

Every time the door is opened, the Taoist temple will send two Taoists to stand at the door to greet the people who come to worship God.

Each one is a different Taoist doing this.

Everyone arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, first to the door of the two Taoist priests to salute, before walking in, today said two young Taoists, the whole body is full of fresh breath, every time the people come to greet them, they are smiling silently, nodding in return.

The scale of this Taoist temple is not large, there are only about 20 Taoist people in it, but all of them are full of clear air, even if they stand without saying a word, it will make people feel that they are contemplating the red dust.

This Taoist temple is so miraculous that it has a lot to do with these Taoists.

Here Taoist temple, according to the rules of this world, divided into the front and rear halls, the apse is for the Tao, the front hall is actually the main god of this Taoist temple, this god has not been seen before, but for mortals, it doesn't matter, as long as it works.

After worshipping the gods, there is a tea garden, and the Taoist priest has served plain tea, please rest.

"Senior brother, there are a lot more pilgrims today than in the previous two days. The number of pilgrims who had seen it was decreasing, and the two Taoists chatted, and one of them looked back at the crowded scene in the main hall and couldn't help but smile.

After listening to the emotion, a group of people knew the reason for this, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not because of the grassland, I heard that the war has stopped, the khanate has been built, and there are rumors that the Great Khan is about to cross the border and enter the Central Plains. ”

"The lord of the grassland has appeared, and he has responded to the heavenly hexagram occupied by the ancestor, I don't know if this person is Allah......"

"Shhhh ”

"Senior brother is out!" The Taoist behind him was startled, and was about to speak, but he felt something and said.

The two turned around, only to see a young Taoist slowly walking from the back of the Taoist temple, with a dusty appearance, clear air, and steady steps, and soon came to the two of them.

"What are you two talking about?" said the elder brother looked at the two of them with a smile.

The two of them hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I've seen Senior Brother." ”

"Hey, don't be polite, what were you talking about?"

As a senior brother, the Taoist hurriedly smiled: "It's just that I feel that there have been more pilgrims recently." ”

"Recently, there have been more and more pilgrims, and this is related to the current situation. When the senior brother heard this, he said to the two of them, "The master is talking to the senior brothers in the back, you two should go too, I will wait for someone here, and I will take care of you for a while." Go to the back quickly, don't miss Master's teachings. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother. When the two Taoists heard this, they hurriedly walked to the back.

Walking through the front hall and coming to a courtyard at the back, I saw that in a room where the master lived, there was a faint sound of conversation and even arguments.

The two of them hurriedly walked over, far away, and when they heard a silence inside, someone asked, "But do you believe in it?"

The Taoist who walked in front hurriedly responded: "It's the disciple." ”

"Come in. "There was a voice from inside.

The two of them then pushed the door and went in, and found that there were seven or eight people in the room.

Except for the middle-aged Taoist who sat in the top position, everyone else was a senior brother of the same age, and as the senior brother said, the master was talking to them.

When the two of them came in, they saluted the master, and then stepped aside and found a place to sit down.

The middle-aged Taoist said: "As a teacher, I just talked about things on the grassland, and since you two are here, just listen to it." ”

He continued to say to everyone: "I have already mentioned just now that the grassland has been unified, and the dragon qi is condensed, which is more intense than the princes of the Central Plains. ”

"The grassland alien race is ferocious, and the true ancestor expected to enter the Central Plains, won't the people of the Central Plains be in trouble?" Hearing this, someone frowned and said.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded and said: "Although the black dragon is successful, the killing aura is too strong, and there will always be a catastrophe when you enter the Central Plains." ”

"Is there a way Master can change this?" someone said busily.

"You and I cultivators, although we have cultivated to prolong our lives, we have no ability to change the sky, only to obey the mandate of heaven, you must remember, do not go against the sky. ”

"This door Beiming Dao, since the founding of the ancestor Jin Shiqing, to you only three generations, although the immortals paid the mantra and drank the divine water, the foundation is not thick. ”

"There are many people who have created Taoism in history, if they are not lost in the world, they must rely on the true dragon, the ancestor immortal to go, the spiritual light is clear, and the epiphany is heavenly, so we are entrusted to build a Taoist temple here, in order to rely on the true dragon, and greatly promote the Taoist system. ”

"The change of dynasties is originally determined by the destiny of heaven, how can you and I cultivators be able to influence it? Even if you and I don't help the Great Khan, the true dragon's qi has risen, and we can still get the world. ”

"You and I will go to help each other now, and I will have a little affection in front of me, and when I enter the Central Plains, I can also persuade him to do less killing, so as to save more people's lives. The middle-aged Taoist said awe-inspiringly, and suddenly, a "righteous qi" emerged and rushed straight to the hall.

"What Master said, one is to conform to the will of heaven, and the other is to help the people of Li suffer less, this is really a great merit!" As soon as he heard this, some people immediately heard the mystery.

Another Taoist said: "Master and brother are right, the destiny of heaven has been decided, if you resist, it will only lead to the destruction of lives, we will lead the way, quickly pacify the Central Plains, and even assassinate the Han generals, you can reduce a little bit of blood, and these thousands of people can survive, this is a great merit." ”

The rest of the people, their cultivation is not so high, and they can't completely get rid of the difference between Han and Yi, when they heard this, they looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

When the leading party said this to the master and brother, it seemed that he had fulfilled the mandate of heaven and could not resist.

At this moment, I heard another sound of footsteps outside, and then someone said loudly: "Senior brother, what you said is wrong!"
