Chapter 11: The Study of Doctrine
At this point, Sun Xiang understands him better. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In a certain way, the two of them are very similar, but their pursuits are different. Sun Xiang pursues martial arts, and in order to ascend, he will not compromise his means, and he will also be ruthless. The only difference between the two is that Luo Xueyi has no backing, no foundation, and no status in the Divine Religion. And Sun Xiang already has a solid foundation and a strong backer.
Sometimes Luo Xueyi would also pour out his pain in front of Sun Xiang, but Sun Xiang couldn't help him, because Sun Xiang couldn't change his devotion to the Divine Religion, and he couldn't change his values.
When Sun Xiang had nothing to do, he would also look at the teachings of the Illuminati Sect. He found that the doctrine itself was good, it preached fraternity, advocated mutual help and love between people, and advocated the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature; It opposes the indiscriminate killing of innocents, the predator of the jungle, and the wanton destruction of nature by human beings. It even preached the equality of all people and admonished religious figures to be public servants of believers and to devote themselves to the well-being of believers.
Sun Xiang also discovered that the vast majority of the followers of the Cult of Light were good people. For example, the staff of this alchemy research and development area, all of them are followers of the Illuminati Cult, and the vast majority of them are even very religious. They are all kind, not intriguing and falling into each other's hands like the upper echelons of the Cult of the Illuminati. is also more friendly to Sun Xiang, a prisoner.
These discoveries made Sun Xiang believe what Decor Nash said, there is nothing wrong with the Illuminati itself, even good, otherwise he would not have been able to rule human society for so long, and even once very popular with humans. But now that the upper echelons of the Cult have metamorphosed, they have betrayed the doctrine in the strict sense of the word. They are using the doctrine for their own personal gain, and they are openly trampling on the doctrine under the banner of mission.
Luo Xueyi, who had disappeared for half a year, came again. However, Sun Xiang was taken aback when he saw his appearance. Luo Xueyi was missing an arm and a leg, he was crippled!
Sun Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, helped Luo Xueyi sit down, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Then he took out the wine, poured a glass for Luo Xueyi, and handed it to him.
Luo Xueyi took the wine glass, drank it all, handed the wine glass to Sun Xiang and motioned for Sun Xiang to pour another glass, and sighed in his mouth: "Alas, it's hard to say." ”
After Sun Xiang poured the wine, he handed it to Luo Xueyi again, and said, "You speak slowly." ”
Luo Xueyi drank it all again, and then told the reason for his injury.
For more than a year, the countries sandwiched between the Kingdom of Light and the Inkran Empire were forced to allow the Cult of Light to spread its teachings.
Without resistance, the Cult of the Illuminati sent a large number of missionaries into these countries and began to preach. Thanks to the efforts of these missionaries, most of the grassroots people in these countries soon began to believe in the Illuminati religion, and the teachings spread very quickly. However, the ruling class and the nobles of these countries were still quite resistant to the Cult of the Illuminati. They have vested interests, and of course they do not want their interests to be violated.
In the face of the oppression of the Kingdom of Light and the Inkran Empire, although they have no way to deal with the grassroots people who continue to become believers in the Cult of Light, they have a way to restrict the people around them from believing in the Cult of Light. So the Cult of Light gained a foothold at the bottom of these countries, but it was never able to influence the ruling class.
Faced with this situation, the vast majority of the Cult of Light thought that it was time to take it slow and allow time to change all this. However, Tumen did not agree, he wanted to speed up the process, and the way he proposed to speed up the process was to rapidly raise the status of the clergy, and to weaken the influence and power of the ruling class and the aristocracy by raising the status of the clergy, so as to speed up the process.
As for how to improve the status of the clergy, he proposed that one way to do it was to build a large number of buildings. Build high-end churches in various parts of those countries, and use these high-end churches to show the influence and strength of the church, and attract more high-ranking people and nobles to join the Cult of Light.
Because of the short time for the grassroots to receive the teachings, the Cult of Light had unstable roots in those countries. When the Tumen decision began to be implemented, it immediately caused great chaos in those countries.
The Cult of Light and even the Kingdom of Light did not have that much financial resources to support this project, so the funds could only be raised from the grassroots believers. However, the basic believers of those countries have only just embraced the Cult of the Illuminati, and they are not at all pious and enlightened. How could it be possible that they would pay taxes to the state and now contribute money to the construction of the church. Therefore, under the covert instigation of the ruling class and aristocracy of those countries, the vast majority of believers began to resist, and some began to quit. In some places, the situation is even more serious, with cases of expulsion or even killing of missionaries.
The overjoyed Tumen also realized that his decision was a little hasty, but he didn't want to admit his mistake. So, it was decided to send someone to suppress it. However, the personnel of the other two factions did not agree with Tumen's decision, and even more opposed to sending people to suppress it.
Tumen was determined to defend their own decision-making, and when they saw that the other two factions were opposed, they proposed to send their own faction to suppress it. The other two factions saw this as an opportunity to weaken the Tumen faction and instead agreed.
It was under these circumstances that Luo Xueyi was sent to one of the kingdoms with the most fierce resistance to suppress the apostates there. As a result, as soon as they arrived there, they were ambushed, and the people who went there suffered heavy casualties. Luo Xueyi even lost a leg and an arm because of this.
After listening to Luo Xueyi's introduction, Sun Xiang didn't know how to comfort him for a while. I can only accompany him to drink stuffy.
The laws of heaven and earth in this world are different from those of the Divine Continent, even if they are high-level martial artists, they can't continue if they break their hands and feet.
After coming over for a while, Sun Xiang asked sympathetically, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”
Luo Xueyi said disheartenedly: "I'm useless anymore. Maybe it's time to live in peace. ”
Sun Xiang nodded: "It's best if you think like this, don't force everything." You've tried, at least with a clear conscience. It is not possible for the Cult of Light to return to its original glory overnight, and it may take several generations or even a dozen generations of hard work. ”
Luo Xueyi looked at Sun Xiang strangely: "Have you figured it out?" ”
Sun Xiang said with a wry smile: "Lao Luo, the two of us can talk, not because of faith, but because of character. I respect your choice, and I hope you will respect mine as well. ”
Luo Xueyi asked puzzledly, "You also agree with the content of our doctrine propaganda. Why can't we believe in our gods? ”
In the past two years, the same topic has been repeated many times by the two, and neither of them can convince anyone, and Sun Xiang knows that there is no point in continuing to talk about it. So, he changed the subject and asked: "I can't work for the Holy See anymore, there is no problem with the source of income, right?" ”
Luo Xueyi shook his head: "No problem." My pension hasn't come down yet, but it should be no less. In addition, I have some savings over the years. Thank you for your concern. ”
Sun Xiang smiled and said unceremoniously: "You caught me here, I haven't settled accounts with you yet." You don't have to thank me, even if you owe me a favor. ”
Luo Xueyi asked suspiciously: "You didn't help me with anything, why do I owe you a favor?" ”
Sun Xiang pointed to Luo Xueyi's heart and said, "I will chat with you, drink with you, and help you resolve some of the depression in your heart." Isn't that just helping you? Huh"
"You..." Luo Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then relaxed, took another sip of wine, and then nodded: "That's what you said." Alas, I didn't expect that it was you who knew me best. Hehe. ”
The two of them drank for a while, and Luo Xueyi was a little drunk before leaving. Before leaving, Sun Xiang gave him two more bottles of wine, and he knew that Luo Xueyi could drink some wine at this time to relieve the depression in his heart. It's been more than two years, and he doesn't have much wine left now.
After Luo Xueyi left, Sun Xiang began to feel sad for the Bright God Cult.
Tumen is a tragic figure who wants to recreate the glory of the Cult of the Illuminati, and even to leave a strong mark on the history of the Cult of the Illuminati. However, his ability is limited, but he is self-serving, and often comes out of his stua and makes wrong decisions. As for the other two sages, they not only looked down on the Tumen, but even fell into the well, dragging the Tumen back everywhere. From this, it can be seen that these two sages are not people who can achieve great things.
According to the lifespan of the Sage, these three guys may continue to rule the Illuminati Sect for two or three hundred years. With the abilities of these three guys, no matter who ascends to the throne in the future, it is unlikely that the Illuminati Cult will be revived one day.
The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and Sun Xiang has also had some understanding of their successor, Prince Sassoon, for more than two years. Prince Sassoon's cultivation talent is indeed good, but he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate people, and he is simply a heaven and earth compared to Prince Asman in terms of his ability to manage the country. He didn't understand why the original Emperor Deke would envy such a genius list. It should be too far away, and I was confused by the propaganda of the Heavenly Alliance. Sun Xiang felt that Prince Bilai was better than Prince Sassoon in some ways.
He was now an expert who was familiar with the Kingdom of Light, and with thousands of years of experience in cultivating immortals, his ability to analyze problems was unmatched. If the people of the Bright God Sect knew that Sun Xiang was imprisoned here, they would have studied them all thoroughly, and they would definitely regret having Sun Xiang here.
