Chapter 272: Open

Finally, after visiting countless noble ladies, the Manichaean saint Lianrou came to the door of the Qin Palace, asking to see Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin. Shi Qingyi, on the other hand, warmly ordered someone to receive her, and then, in person, welcomed the other party into a separate living room to entertain her.

However, when Shi Qingyi retreated from the maids on the left and right, the aura of the two of them that was originally distinct from the subject and guest suddenly changed, and when they saw Shi Qingyi's face, the originally gentle smile disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a trace of silver light revealed in their eyes, and Lian Rou faded away from the humility that Fang Cai deliberately made, and restored her original noble temperament as an inviolable Manichaean saintess, at this moment, neither of them was hiding their original appearance, that is because, It's already useless.

"You ought to know what I'm here for!" Lian Rou looked at Shi Qingyi and said: "And you must also know that the reason why Li Shimin was able to get away easily outside Luoyang City back then, in addition to your sake, on the other hand, was that I used to be merciful, so in exchange, now I hope to be able to spread the faith of my religion in Middle-earth, therefore, this time I hope I can get the support of King Qin's forces!" ”

In the face of Lianrou's words, Shi Qingyi smiled: "Although I had already guessed that Her Royal Highness the Princess was coming back to me after hearing the news that the princess had arrived in Chang'an with the envoy team of the Western Turks, however, when Her Royal Highness the princess really arrived, to be honest, I was still very surprised, perhaps, even Her Royal Highness the princess; I never thought that the kindness that let go of King Qin under Luoyang City back then would have to be fulfilled after such a quick time! Hehe, but outside Luoyang City back then, King Qin was able to escape. It is indeed the reason for Princess Lianrou, therefore, the princess's request, no matter what, is that the Qin Wangfu can't refuse! Shi Qingyi said.

"That being the case, then the question of whether Manichaeism could be allowed to spread in Middle-earth. It all depends on Her Royal Highness Princess Qin, of course, the King of Qin and the Princess Qin are both trustworthy people in the world, so I naturally believe that the Zun couple will definitely make every effort to promote this matter in the court, since this is the case, then I am here to thank the King of Qin and Her Royal Highness the Princess in advance, and wish you two a harmonious husband and wife and a happy family! Lian Rou said.

Shi Qingyi laughed after listening to Lianrou's compliments: "Think about it, when I first met the princess. At that time, Her Royal Highness the princess was awe-inspiring and inviolable, as if she was a goddess walking in the world, but now it seems that she is a little haggard! She said, and then, with a sharp turn of words: "Then forgive me for taking the liberty of asking Her Royal Highness the Princess, Manichaeism today." What kind of situation has we fallen into? So much so that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was extremely noble in the church, had to condescend to come to Chang'an to preach in person. He even came to see me in the Qin Wangfu, hoping to use the power of the Qin Wangfu to open up the difficult situation at this time! From this point of view, the situation of Manichaeism at this time seems to be not good! Shi Qingyi said.

Shi Qingyi's words were very unreasonable, but surprising. But Lian Rou was not angry, and only heard her say lightly: "Fortunately, there are only you and me at this time, otherwise if the second believer in my sect hears it, then I will have to kill the other party with my own hands to prevent Her Royal Highness the princess from becoming an enemy of my sect." But come to think of it, even if I am an enemy of Manichaeism, it is nothing for Her Royal Highness the Princess, but my religion is orthodox, and I will fall into a huge crisis because of the appearance of a great enemy like the King of Qin and the Princess......"

Lian Rou raised her face: "Yes, in Persia in the Western Regions, the inheritance of our sect has suffered a heavy setback, and it is retreating step by step under the attack of a new sect, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will completely withdraw from the territory of Persia, and the same, it is the Wo Sect and the Jingjiao Sect, which were the great enemies of our sect in the past, and now they are also the same as our sect, and their power is rapidly declining under the attack of that emerging sect, so the upper echelons of our sect are so anxious that they have to invest most of their strength in the east, I hope that after losing Persia in the future, I will be able to continue to spread the faith in this eastern land! She said, "But now it seems that the situation is much more difficult than expected, hehe! ”

Lian Rou's mouth let out a laugh, but a lonely look flashed on her face, and then, she heard her voice sound in a low voice: "The high priests have carried out all the divination, but all the results are only one, that is, destruction, even if our faith can escape the encirclement and suppression of this emerging sect and continue in the East, after a thousand years, the faith of my religion will inevitably cease to exist, and during this period, the remaining believers in the East will gradually lose the classics and faith, In turn, they put on a false disguise for the sake of money, and some careerists will also mix into the religion because of this, and use faith as a means to agitate the people in order to realize their personal ambitions...... However, even so, being able to continue my faith is still the noblest mission of my Manichaean followers at this time! Lian Rou said, and at this time, her face was also extremely firm, as if nothing could affect her!

Shi Qingyi laughed, of course Lianrou at this time would not know that in the future, although Manichaeism was able to take root and continue in Middle-earth, it was true that it gradually became unaware of Manichaeism itself, Mingjiao, White Lotus Sect, Maitreya Sect, and Wenxiang Sect...... Of course, Manichaeism at that time was no longer the original Manichaeism, and in this land of China, the original Manichaean beliefs merged with each other in the collision with various religious beliefs, and finally did not distinguish each other, and as the prophecy said, the teachings of Manichaeism finally became a means for careerists to try to realize their ambitions, and they coerced those fanatical believers who were stirred up. Then there was a rebellion against the rulers of the time, and then, rivers of blood flowed, some people succeeded, and many more failed, but, whether they succeeded or failed, the Manichaean faith continued to decay day by day, and in the end, it disappeared completely.

Of course, the reason why Manichaeism later caused such a result is also inseparable from the relationship between the Demon Gate of Middle-earth, because it involves a tradition of the Demon Gate: rebellion!

After all, the original of the Demon Gate was born from the Momen, after the Qin annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, although the power of the Momen was also greatly reduced due to the blow of the Qin State, however, the underground organization forces founded by the disciples of Mozi still existed, and continued to grow and develop in secret, although these Momen inheritances may have long since lost the Mojia inheritance that they were proud of, however, since the first day they were created, because of their origins and beliefs, they were destined to be incompatible with the ruling class.

Religious belief is often the best hotbed for the people to rebel against the ruling class, because all religions are almost following a concept, that is, only God is high in the world, and all living beings are equal regardless of whether they are high or low, so under such a concept, the invisible shì power of Momen began to actively integrate into various emerging religions, and then, borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, and then launched a struggle against the ruling class, Taoism's Taiping Dao, White Lotus Sect, Buddhism's Maitreya Religion, Manichaeism's later name Mingjiao, It is one such example after another, and among them, of course, the most classic example is still Mingjiao, because its original doctrine was equality and the struggle for equality, and therefore, the final union of this sect with the descendants of the underground forces of Momen, the Demon Gate, is also the deepest.

Although Shi Qingyi was already the princess of Qin at this time and became a member of the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty, however, the essence of being a person in the demon sect in her bones would not change, and therefore, she was naturally happy to see the changes that would occur in Manichaeism in the future, and therefore, when Lianrou came to the palace of King Qin this time and asked her for help, naturally, she would not hesitate to help.

However, at this time, if you want Shi Qingyi to come forward to help Lianrou, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, and this problem, without Shi Qingyi's explanation, Lianrou naturally knows it, that is, according to a generation of heroes who once single-handedly created the huge Manichaean branch of the Daming Zunjiao, Xu Kaishan, because of the deep blood feud he once had with the Li Tang royal family, so that it has now become the biggest obstacle for Manichaean orthodoxy to integrate into the land of China, unless Xu Kaishan is really dead, otherwise, Not to mention the other members of the Li Tang royal family, even Shi Qingyi himself, it is impossible to agree to Lianrou's request.

And fortunately, Lian Rou was already prepared for this, so she listened to her say: "If everyone in the Li Tang royal family and Princess Qin are asking for this, then I think your request will be met quickly, in fact, not long ago, we have indeed mastered Elder Xu Kaishan's whereabouts, and as long as Princess Qin is willing, our people can take Elder Xu Kaishan's life at any time, but I think that for this enemy, Princess Qin must also be more willing to see how he was killed!" Since this is the case, then it is better for Princess Qin to do it herself, and after that, as a witness, she will clear our Manichaean suspicion! Lian Rou said. Then, her eyes looked at Shi Qingyi: "And after that, my only request is that the orthodoxy of Manichaeism will not be implicated because of this, and that after the death of Elder Xu Kaishan, I can spread the faith in the Eastern Soil smoothly!" ”

"In that case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" The corners of Shi Qingyi's mouth pulled a hint of a smile, and he said softly: "Of course, after that, Her Royal Highness the princess's request will naturally be satisfied......" (to be continued......)
