In the beginning, there were not seven countries in the Great Wilderness, but only four, the most powerful of which was the Jin State, whose border line bordered the steppe where the barbarians were, but there was only small friction between the two sides, and large-scale battles did not break out. It is mainly based on trade.

At that time, the Garan Temple was still a small organization, far from being as large as it is today, and it was still running around, looking for opportunities to open shrines everywhere, but at that time, each country had its own faith, and the temple's evangelistic work was slow and frustrated at every turn.

Later, Yongmendi, the priest of the temple Kaiyang, decided to go to the steppe to preach.

But the barbarians have never believed in this, they only trust their own fists.

When Yongmendi arrived in the grassland, he found that it was more difficult to preach here, and because of the language barrier, he could not communicate with the barbarians normally.

Yongmendi had an extremely tenacious heart, and he swore to Yue that he would never return to the Central Plains if he did not succeed in preaching in the grassland in this life.

For the next 20 years, Yongmendi has been actively running in the grassland, using his lifelong learning to solve many problems for the barbarians, and finally won the approval of the supreme leader of the barbarians at that time, made him a national teacher, and began to build shrines throughout the grassland to spread the teachings of the temple.

This was originally a very happy thing, but when the news reached the Garan Temple, the high priest of the temple at the time sensed that something was wrong.

Because the teachings used by the Prairie Shrine are already completely different from the teachings used by the Garan Temple.

Yongmendi, went astray.

The temple immediately sent priests to the grassland, hoping to find out the truth, but every priest who went to the grassland did not return.

One day after that, Yongmendi officially announced that he had betrayed the temple and proclaimed himself the high priest, and the barbarians also officially launched a war against the Jin State on this day.

The Jin State was strong at that time, and it was the overlord of the Great Wilderness, and he did not take the attack of the barbarians to heart at first, the front line was fighting, and the emperor of the Jin State was still in the mood to choose a concubine, but Yongmendi knew about it in advance, and sent the most beautiful girl on the grassland to choose a concubine, and it was very smooth to approach the emperor of the Jin State and became a favorite concubine.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom finally found that they could not defeat the barbarians.

The barbarians became infinitely powerful, an ordinary barbarian soldier could actually fight against four or five Jin soldiers, and the barbarian cavalry was even more courageous, once they began to charge, any obstacle was a chicken and a dog in their eyes. In just two months, more than a quarter of the land of the Jin Kingdom has been lost!

The Jin royal family panicked, but the aristocrats of the Jin Kingdom were afraid of war after many years of arrogant and lascivious life, and they proposed peace, hoping to retain their glory and wealth by dividing the country.

Of course, the military generals of the Jin State were resolutely opposed to peace, and the two sides quarreled endlessly in the court, and no one could convince anyone.

At this time, the barbarian concubine stood up, dealt with the generals in a few words, and asked the emperor to execute all the generals who fought hard.

Without this group of people, the Jin Kingdom was even more vulnerable, and the front-line soldiers gave up resistance and began to plunder all the way and run back.

A large number of refugees began to pour into other countries, among which the Tang State accepted the most, which also laid the foundation for the future rise of the Tang State, because among the refugees accepted by the Tang State, there were many talents from all walks of life.

Once the Jin State falls, then the Tang State will face the barbarians. Tang Guo realized this, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and soon pulled up a strong army, waiting for the barbarians to come to the door.

Half a year later, the Jin Kingdom completely fell, and the barbarian army reached the border line of the Tang Dynasty.

The two sides fought the border line for half a month, with nearly 500,000 casualties, including about 200,000 barbarians and 300,000 Tang troops!

This was the biggest loss suffered by the barbarians since the invasion, and they did not dare to advance again for a while, and it also gave Tang Guo a chance to breathe.

Just as the barbarians were preparing for a protracted war, the master came to the steppe and met Yongmendi.

He was accompanied by the high priest of the temple at the time.

The three of them talked on the prairie.

This is seven days and seven nights.

In the end, no one could convince anyone.

The high priest fought with Yongmendi, and both sides died.

The master cremated the bodies of the two and sprinkled them on the vast grassland.

Although Yongmendi died, it did not shake the hearts of the barbarian army, and they still thought that it was only a matter of time before they conquered the Tang Dynasty.

However, the High Priest had already found a way to deal with the barbarians, and this solution was brought back by the Master and informed the Garan Temple.

The temple also officially entered the war.

The Great Purification Technique of the Temple had a miraculous effect on the barbarians, and the Great Purification Technique performed by the ten priests together could wipe out thousands of barbarian armies in an instant.

The barbarians sensed the fear and began to retreat.

However, such a good opportunity, the temple and the Tang Kingdom would not miss it, they chased the barbarians all the way into the grassland, and drove the barbarians all the way to the bitter cold land in the extreme north.

The two sides fought hard for several months, and nearly 100 priests were sacrificed in the temple, and the Tang Dynasty also lost nearly 200,000 troops.

In the end, the barbarian commander signed a contract with the temple and the Tang Dynasty.

The barbarians are forever trapped in the bitter cold land of the far north, and they are not allowed to set foot in the grassland for half a step.

In exchange for this, the continuation of the barbarian race was obtained.

After this war, the Jin Kingdom was divided, the Tang Kingdom rose, and the temple officially became the strongest religion in the Great Wilderness, and the shrine was built everywhere.

But the barbarians have never given up the pursuit of their homeland one day, and they are still practicing magic skills, hoping that one day they will be able to go south and regain the grassland.

Now, they have taken that step.

Although it is understandable that I want to go home, the Demon Sect is the Demon Sect, and it will never be integrated into this world.

Not killing them was already Ling Zhaoyan's bottom line.

"But...... It's been 1,800 years, the barbarians are trapped in the far north, the Demon Sect is withering, I haven't heard of the name of the Demon Sect for many years, plus the high pressure of the temple, I think this sect has been wiped out. Do you need to be so vigilant? As you said, those barbarians just now don't look like they've fallen into the Demon Cult. Zhou Fei said.

"Withered doesn't mean extinction, and just because you don't see it doesn't mean that the Demon Cult doesn't exist. Ling Zhaoyan said tirelessly: "It is true that the Demon Sect has disappeared over the years, and there is almost no movement. However, the temple can still catch many members of the Demon Sect, who are lurking in various countries in the guise of normal people, preparing for a counterattack one day. ”

Zhou Fei said, "Then why doesn't the Demon Sect try to spread its teachings in the Great Wilderness? Their founder is also a member of the Divine Temple, so he can start a debate on who is the right path." ”

Zhou Fei's words are not nonsense, because the same thing is not too common in the civilized society of later generations, in order to rob the disciples and denounce each other as heretics, anyone can install an orthodox title for themselves, anyway, that thing is not worth much.

As long as they can fool the believers, those people can use any reason.

The same is true for the Great Wilderness, Yongmendi came to the grassland alone, created a new branch of the original teachings of the temple, and finally regarded himself as orthodox. If he could spread his teachings to the countries of the Great Wilderness, he would be able to fool some ordinary people into becoming his followers.

As long as you can develop believers, then it will be easy to do things, and if you can develop a few high-level disciples, things will be easier to do.

Why don't these guys use their brains?

Ling Zhaoyan was a little displeased, she obviously felt that Zhou Fei had no hatred for the Demon Sect, but was a little interested, which was not a good sign.

The Demon Cult is evil, and everyone will be punished for it.

What's more, Zhou Fei is still a disciple of the master, and he is a student on the second floor of the academy, if even he has great respect for the Demon Sect, wouldn't it mean that the academy's position will deviate?

Ling Zhaoyan felt that it was necessary for him to screw back Zhou Fei's "three views".

"The reason why the Demon Sect is not preaching in the Central Plains is because the Demon Attack is a retrograde cultivation. You should know that our cultivation uses the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for our own use, and the Demon Sect absorbs the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into our bodies. Who can withstand the vitality of heaven and earth among ordinary people? Only a barbarian can withstand it if he is physically strong. Therefore, the Demon Sect has no foundation in the Great Wilderness, and it acts against the way of heaven so much, but any normal person will refuse. ”

The implication of these words is that Zhou Fei is very abnormal now.

Zhou Fei didn't want to explain too much, he was not a native of the Great Wilderness, and he didn't have a position on the battle for the Demon Sect Temple, so he couldn't be as hostile as Ling Zhaoyan.

However, such a topic should not be discussed well often, so as not to hurt the harmony.

"Eat something and we'll be on your way later. Zhou Fei changed the topic and took out dry food and distributed it to Ling Zhaoyan.

Ling Zhaoyan took small sips of dry food, occasionally glanced at Zhou Fei, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The sky of the steppe has always been as blue as a mirror, but at this moment a large cloud is floating from nowhere.

"It's going to rain?" Ling Zhaoyan said, "Find a place to shelter from the rain." ”

Zhou Fei said, "There are only barbarians around here, right?"

Ling Zhaoyan glanced at him: "I'd rather get drenched in the rain." ”

Zhou Fei said with a smile: "Just kidding, let's go and see if there is a place to shelter from the rain nearby." ”

......

The clouds are getting lower and lower, making it feel almost palpable.

Thunder rumbled, and lightning was like a snake.

The barbarian woman put away the blanket, twisted the child's ears and dragged him into the tent.

Her husband was sleeping soundly.

Snoring and thunder came and went.

But the barbarian women were used to it, so she lit an oil lamp and continued to sew her leather jacket on the oil fire like a bean sprout.

This is something that every barbarian woman must learn.

Far north, bitter cold.

Hunting is also extremely difficult.

It often takes more than half a month to stay in the snow and ice to catch decent prey.

And whether the leather jacket worn by a man is warm or not has become a benchmark for testing a barbarian woman.

Every barbarian woman will be taught the art of sewing by the elders of the clan from the beginning of her understanding, in order to sew a warm and well-fitting leather jacket for her husband in the future, which can withstand the wind and cold of the far north.

But in terms of needlework, barbarian women can beat all the women of the Seven Kingdoms of the Great Wilderness.

Although I have come to the grassland now, the winter here is definitely not as good as that of the far north, but the habits that have been passed down for thousands of years are not so easy to break, as long as there is time, barbarian women will pick up needles and threads to sew and mend them.

Normally, she was reluctant to light an oil lamp, which was a luxury for them, but it was too early to sleep, so she could only be extravagant.

After playing for a while, the child fell asleep beside his father, his hands still tightly wrapped around his father's arm.

The woman smiled when she saw this.

Soon, however, she couldn't laugh. I want to talk about "The Strongest Waste Material System" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
