Chapter 65—How to Convert (I)
How do you convert a fanatical believer? There are burning pillars in distant Europe, there are swords of the gods in the west of Dunhuang, and there will be more scientific labor reform and other methods in a few hundred years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but now if you don't want to expose your "true face", you really can't use any coercive means.
Every religion has so-called apostates, who begin with doubts about their own beliefs, experience loss, confusion, suffering, and then move on to pagan temptation (or salvation), and then slowly move towards shameful heresy or barbecue.
Lichen sat on the futon, looked at the pagan who had turned his back on his own race (after believing in the gods, he was generally no longer Han people, but the people of the gods), and smiled: "Poor Dao doesn't know if your gods can give you salvation, but it is easy to determine whether you can get the salvation of the gods, right or wrong, everyone is just a witness?" ”
When the man heard this, he was furious and said, "You dare to doubt the greatness of the gods, you heretic who deserves to go to hell. ”
After the man finished speaking, he actually pulled out a dagger from his body and rushed up, and the crowd exclaimed. Apparently the man came prepared. It's just that they never think about what kind of existence they are going to face!
"Taiyi saves the suffering immeasurably Tianzun!" After chanting the name of the Heavenly Venerable for Saving Suffering in a low voice, with one hand and a finger, the man froze three feet away from the dust. The man was terrified, and when he found that he could not speak, and his body no longer obeyed the command, he did not have a little fear, but was full of resentment and anger. Obviously, a little "evil magic" in the dust can't shake his faith.
Lichen smiled slightly, but the pot exploded underneath. Some people were shocked when they dared to shoot at the immortals, some people were so indignant that they were ready to stand up and beat people, and some people immediately scolded and accused.....
This man is a man of commendable courage, and he has the demeanor of the fanatical followers of the gods of later generations, brave and fearless, and disregards death. I guess I was ready to sacrifice myself to the gods before I came, and then go to their kingdom to enjoy the 72 virgins! It's just that the experience is too much worse in the end, and there is no experience at all. Isn't it necessary to entrust a false snake to assassinate or something, and then break out after getting close to the target? It seems that the Celestial God Sect has really been comfortable in the Western Regions for too long, and even a terrorist activity has made a mess!
"If you don't sacrifice your ancestors, you do it because you are unfilial, you turn your back on the tribe, you are unfilial, you are plotting to kill people, you are unkind, you are at the mercy of others, you are unwise. In this case, what is a human being? The poor road can ignore the sin that you want to be disadvantageous to the poor road. It's just the Sanqing Dojo, the Dao Gate is quiet, you are so blasphemous, but the poor Dao can't spare you!" Lichen stood up, walked up to the man, and said word by word, causing the rest of the pilgrims to nod their heads.
Ancient Chinese filial piety is greater than heaven, and the worship of ancestors has been engraved in the bones. This is also one of the reasons why from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, foreign religions have never been able to win the trust of the Chinese people. A passage from Lichen can be regarded as the "universal value" of the Chinese in this era.
"The heavens and the earth are clear, guide me, the three officials are dissipated, the open fire is deprived, and the urgency is like a law!" The mantra in his mouth was indeed flicked twice on the man's shoulder. Everyone couldn't see anything, but in the eyes of the dust, the two yang fires on the man's shoulders were extinguished in response. The support of the two yang fires on the shoulders was lost, and the remaining fire on the man's head also swayed, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
"Don't linger outside until the sun goes down, and if you feel something different, seek salvation from the gods you believe in. If you are willing to repent, let the poor road save you, and sing the name of Taiyi Immeasurably Saving the Suffering Tianzun. Poor Dao can also appear to you right away. You can go back now. Lichen snatched the dagger from the man's hand, and with a gentle rub, the dagger made of stainless steel immediately turned into a ball of iron powder. But it scared everyone. A handprint was immediately struck, and the man immediately regained his mobility. It's just that without weapons, and he may really not be the opponent of the other party, no matter how fanatical a believer is, he will retreat. The man was no exception, and after taking a deep look at the dust, he immediately fled and left.
After a turmoil, everyone also bowed down and left. It's not early, and there are still more than 20 miles to go from the city! Taoist temples do not leave pilgrims overnight.
"Immortal Master, which assassin will you let go like this?" After everyone left, as the future viewer of the Taoist temple, Qingyangzi immediately ran to ask. Obviously, everyone knows about the turmoil just now.
"Huh! Heaven bears the burden, and all beings have cause and effect. How could it be so simple? He smiled incomprehensibly, leaving Qingyangzi with a puzzled expression.
People have three yang fires, which are the gods of guardianship and make all evils easy to dispel. Now that the man has been extinguished by the Dust Dao Method, two of the three yang fires have been extinguished, and under the lack of yang energy, the yin ghosts and evil ghosts wandering around in the desert will naturally let the man experience what it means to be frightened in the middle of the night, and life is better than death. Now wait until after night, whether his gods can save him.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the tranquility on Mingsha Mountain is restored again. Lichen sat in the quiet room, but his mind was far away in Dunhuang City, dozens of miles away.
Tonight's Dunhuang is destined not to be a peaceful night, countless people who returned from Mingsha Mountain are foaming at the mouth of the people who are talking about everything in Mingsha Mountain, adding fuel and vinegar to tell about their daytime observations, under the foaming of mouth, more people began to bang their hearts, and began to think about whether they also want to go to Mingsha Mountain to worship Laojun, and pray for the blessing of the gods for their whole family. It would be nice to listen to the sermon under the throne of the immortal master! What if you also have a fairy fate?
In fact, Dunhuang City has been seriously divided, Han people and the gods in a very early days, began a state of separation, the east of the city lives Han people, the west of the city lives the gods believers, on weekdays all kinds of each other is not used to each other, carelessness will cause conflicts, so there is no need, the two sides rarely interact. Although Hermes-Epitek is a group of damned Kafeilers among the followers of the gods, why are they not a bunch of traitors who have forgotten their roots? After all, except for a very small number of people who obviously look from the Western Regions, most of them still have Han faces.
The moon was high and the clouds were light, Ma Chengxiang or Ibrahim, who was known as Ibrahim, took the whole family to do the night prayer in the mosque, and then returned home early to close the door and go to bed. In fact, today's scene in the Taoist temple is really not the imam's order. It's just that he himself feels that when others spread "bad" religions, as a loyal believer of the gods, he must always stand up and dedicate himself to the gods. After all, they are right, and they are all wrong. The angels have taught us that wherever you find them, kill them. I just follow the teachings of the gods.
It's just that the leader of the heresy is too terrifying, so that Ma Chengxiang, who was not a bold person, is now shocked when he thinks about it, maybe he really has some incredible abilities! But the gods are great, and no matter how powerful those who do not believe in the gods are, they will eventually go to Hellfire! And there will never be salvation.
After returning from the Taoist temple, Ma Chengxiang has always felt that he is weird, and he always feels cold behind him, as if there is a devil peeping at him.
Just when Ma Chengxiang was lying on the bed thinking about his thoughts, suddenly there was a loud "clang" outside the window, which frightened Ma Chengxiang, who had no intention of sleeping. He quickly put on his clothes and got up, picked up a wooden stick and rushed out the door.
The moon was hazy in the courtyard, and there were dark shadows everywhere in the distance. Lichen suddenly felt a chill, shivered, looked around, but found nothing abnormal. Ma Chengxiang let out a long sigh of relief. There are still a lot of thieves in Dunhuang City. Luckily, I haven't slept yet. That person must have been scared away when he saw him running out!
When Ma Chengxiang turned around and was about to go back to the house, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The face was as gray as death, the hair was unkempt, the eyes were red, and there were trickles of blood and tears streaming down the cheeks of the dead ash, and the red tongue sticking out of the way was a foot long.
Ma Chengxiang was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't even shout loudly, his legs trembled, and a hot and humid feeling snaked down the root of his thighs.
This is a female ghost, but at this time, the female ghost is staring at Ma Chengxiang, as if she is looking at how to eat him. Ma Chengxiang was really scared and cried, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, but he couldn't cry, so he could only freeze there, brushing and crying.
The moonlight is like water, and what makes Ma Chengxiang's three souls scare off the seven spirits is that there is more than one ghost, and in less than a while, there are already a lot of ghosts around him, some have broken hands and feet, there are no heads, some are covered in blood, and there are all in tattered armor, all of them are around him, sniffing something on him.
"Hell!" A terrible scream shattered the silence of the night in an instant. Perhaps fear can really make people burst into infinite potential. , Ma Chengxiang suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then his whole body regained the ability to move, and he didn't have time to warn his wife and children, so he fled outside lifelessly.
"The gods are great!" Ma Chengxiang ran in the direction of the mosque, he believed that he was close to the range of the mosque, and under the power of the gods, naturally no ghosts could get close to him.
Ma Chengxiang was screaming for help, and rushed out lifelessly. Although he didn't dare to look back, the coolness behind him, the upside-down hairs that stood on end, reminded him all the time that the evil ghost was still following him closely.
Ma Chengxiang's screams were not small, and immediately alarmed countless people who were already sleeping gods. But what others saw was that Ma Chengxiang was running around his yard like crazy, and there were no evil ghosts chasing him. But in Ma Chengxiang's consciousness, ghosts and monsters are always behind him.
Ma Chengxiang didn't know how far he had run, but the mosque, which only took half a pillar of incense to walk on weekdays, had run so far today, why couldn't he see the shadow of the mosque?
Ma Chengxiang's wife and children all woke up and saw their husband (father) running around the yard like crazy, shouting and shouting, and couldn't pull it. I cried anxiously and fearfully. The neighbor still couldn't look at it and said, "Your husband must be haunted by the devil, go and ask Ah Kui to come!" “
Ma Chengxiang's wife went to find Ah Kui crying, and after several neighbors discussed, several people worked together to pounce Ma Chengxiang on the ground and tie him up. Ma Chengxiang came to his senses and found that the ghosts were gone. He was still in his yard, and several neighbors were looking at him with strange expressions.
"Why are you tying me up?" Ma Chengxiang asked.
"Huh! You're not crazy anymore? The neighbors asked curiously.
"I'm not crazy, you guys let me go?" Ma Chengxiang immediately requested.
Just when the neighbors looked at each other and were about to untie the rope for Ma Chengxiang, who had regained consciousness, a dead face appeared not far away, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at him again.
Ma Chengxiang didn't scream this time, but his eyes were suddenly full of horror, and his whole body trembled and he couldn't stand, he felt that he must have been cursed by the pagan priest of the Taoist temple.
"You, you, why are you pestering me, we have no grievances, you, you get out of the way." When the female ghost approached Ma Chengxiang's side again and sniffed indiscriminately, Ma Chengxiang cried and cursed in his mouth, and danced vigorously to drive away the evil ghost.
"It's crazy!" The neighbors looked at each other, and had to press Ma Chengxiang down and tie him up again, which would say that he would not let go. Everything will be said when the gods come.
"Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn from the poison of His Creator, from the poison of the night, from the one who blows the firm idea, and from the jealous when the envious are jealous. Say, "I pray to the Lord of Dawn to be free from the sins of his creations, from the sins of darkness, from the sins of harmful witchcraft, and from the sins of jealousy...... "In Ma Chengxiang's courtyard, Ma Chengxiang was still firmly bound, and Ah Wei led everyone together to recite to him the scriptures of the Celestial God Cult.
Ma Chengxiang also gradually quieted down in the scriptures. Because he found that as long as he recited the scriptures, the terrible female ghost finally disappeared. The slight coolness behind it gradually returned to normal.
"Thank you for your guidance and for your help!" Ma Chengxiang sincerely thanked.
"Can you still recite the teachings of the gods?" Ah Wei has obviously heard Ma Chengxiang's sometimes sober and sometimes crazy things. I'm not sure if Ma Chengxiang is really good.
"The gods of heaven will not forgive the sins of associating things with the Lord, but he will forgive the sins of those whom he wills that are worse than this...", Ma Chengxiang replied.
"The god is great, he is already well, thank you to the almighty god!" Ah Bao said with a sigh of relief.
The Celestial God Sect does not believe in any undead spirits, but after staying in the Western Regions for a long time, they will always encounter some strange things, so reciting scriptures to give people "exorcism" has become the only means for the Akrins. But at least now Ma Chengxiang is a success.
It was late at night, and everyone came over in the middle of the night for Ma Chengxiang's matter, which made Ma Chengxiang very embarrassed, and after thanking them repeatedly, he personally sent them away. Just when Ma Chengxiang was thinking about how to go to the mosque tomorrow to thank Ah Qiang, and was about to return home to comfort his frightened wife and children, he just opened the door of the house, but his face immediately turned pale in an instant.
