When the Zhang Jiao brothers launched the Yellow Turban Army uprising, there were also many Taiping believers in Yangzhou. After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, there were still many people in Jiangdong who believed in Taoism, and many people continued to preach. The most famous of these Taoist leaders was a Taoist named Yu Ji.

Yu Jiben was a native of Langya, and later the world was in turmoil or for some other reason, so he came to Jiangdong to avoid trouble. He claimed to have obtained more than 100 volumes of divine books in the spring, established a monastery in the area of Huiji in Wu County, burned incense and recited Taoism every day, and made talisman water to heal people, and there were many of his followers here.

But how could a mere Jiangdong Yuji be the opponent of the battle priests who were killed in such a ghost place in the Western Regions? These fanatical or pretending to be fanatical Shinrikyo priests helped Zhang Lu train troops in Hanzhong, and even personally went into battle to cut people.

The battle priests helped Sun Ce forge artillery cannons and built temples dedicated to the god of the north. The so-called temple is a large plot of land, built with bricks and low-quality cement to build a strong cathedral, and then arrange stables, canteens, dormitories, toilets and other buildings around it, and then erect courtyard walls around it.

That's right, the so-called temple is essentially a barracks. Sun Ce let these people toss at first, and after half a year, the temple was roughly completed and ran to take a look. Nima, is this an attempt to rebel?

Unable to bear it, Sun Bofu called the battle priests and asked, "What are you trying to do here?" ”

The priests were inexplicable and explained that when they were in the Western Regions, their temples and churches were like this. These people also enthusiastically introduced Sun Ce to the main building, that is, the temple where the statue of the Emperor of Heaven was enshrined.

"Sun Yuanjun, please see, there is a gun position on it, as long as a few artillery pieces are deployed on it, even if there are ten times as many enemies attacking, there is no need to worry about anything." The leader priest said proudly: "In the Western Regions, we once used a hundred people to block the attack of more than 2,000 Hu people!" ”

Sun Ce: ".........."

Well, you guys have a kind!

Most of these Shinrikyo priests, who were exiled to the Western Regions and still did not repent, were stinking and hard-hardened fanatics. They were accustomed to barbarism in the Western Regions, and after coming to Jiangdong, their missionary methods were also extraordinary, completely different from Yu Ji's routine of burning talismans and turning water to heal people.

Priests with hammers often grabbed a heretic, went up with a big-eared scraper, and shouted, "Repent!" ”

Heretics are easier to convert than passers-by, this is the conclusion that the priests have come to after fighting in the Western Regions for three or four years. As long as they can show stronger combat power, as long as they can show more powerful miracles, the transformation speed of the heretics is very fast. The priests said that they knew a little bit of medicine, knew the concept of germ transmission, and did not know how high the methods of curing diseases and wounds were higher than the methods of Taiping Dao.

What's more, the Shinrikyo priests are indeed able to make cannons, but also help train soldiers, collect taxes, heal the sick, transport grain and grass, plan fields, and so on. After having these people, Sun Ce found that he was more comfortable in governing the place.

Sun Bofu is as brave as his father Sun Jian in battle, but he is not like Sun Jian, who has been licking wildly when he catches Yuan Shu. I don't know how many of the scholars and wealthy clans in Jiangdong were exterminated by him, and the Sun clan's rule in Jiangdong almost copied the experience of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and almost did not implement strict land clearance.

It's not that Sun Ce doesn't want to do this, it's that he doesn't have enough talent to help him do these things. If you want to measure the fields and count the household registration, you must at least be literate, and you must also know how to find the area. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use calculus, there are not many people who can do this anyway, and it's enough to calculate the area of a parallelogram.

But in the past, those intellectuals were all from various powerful families, and let them cut their own flesh, how is this possible? Most of them will take the opportunity to make profits.

But now that he has this gang of Shinrikyo gods, Xiao Bawang thinks that what he couldn't do before can now be picked up and done? Allocating land to the soldiers under his command can strengthen cohesion and combat effectiveness, and it will also be better managed, and this kind of thing is known to normal people.

However, the battle priests rejected Sun Ce's proposal and said, "Sun Envoy invited us to come and cast cannons with his missionary powers, so we will only take care of the affairs of preaching and cannon casting." If there is anything else you need help with, we will also help you according to the situation. But if we do this, then won't we become subordinates of the envoy? We are Shinrikyo priests, and we only worship our parents, ancestors, and the Emperor! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he drew his sword and said angrily: "On the territory of Jiangdong, you dare to be so presumptuous? ”

Without hesitation, the priests lifted their hammers and said loudly: "We have millions of believers behind us, and the generals are backing us up, what is there to dare to do?" Everything can't lift a reason, if you don't want to cooperate, then just say it! ”

“........”

Sun Ce saw that a few guys on the opposite side began to tie gunpowder packets to their bodies, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble. After the artillery was bought, he had a good chance to test fire, and he was all there, how could he not know what the scene would be like if those gunpowder packs were blown up? He secretly scolded in his heart that this group of magic sticks was really crazy, snorted and put away his long sword, and said, "Then you can cast cannons well!" ”

By the time the little overlord left in anger, a priest had already run out into the street, grabbed a passer-by and whipped him down.

"Smack!"

The stunned passer-by said aggrievedly: "Why are you beating me?" ”

The priest said menacingly, "You have repented! ”

"Huh? Is there a mistake? I don't believe in the way of peace! ”

"Oh, that's not enough. Come, here is a copy of "Elementary School Mathematics", which is written by God in the North, and if you go back and study it, you will be able to enter the kingdom of God flowing with flour and rice, and you will have seventy-two virgins.........."

Obviously, this is a man who has dealt with the Semitic cult a lot. Sun Ce, who was riding on horseback and leaving, saw this scene, and his heart moved, feeling that these foreign guys may not be able to be used by me. After the fall of the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains, many people fled to Jingzhou and Jiangdong, where Yangzhou was full of people who believed in the Taiping Dao, and maybe there would be another big rebellion at any time.

Wouldn't it be great if we could let these madmen of the Shinrikyo sect face up to the demons of the Taiping Dao?

Just do it when you think of it, Sun Ce is a young man in his twenties, he is used to being resolute, and he soon found an opportunity. One day, he was having a banquet with the generals upstairs, and saw Yu Ji walking underneath, and the pedestrians knelt down one after another. Many of the generals upstairs also ran downstairs and bowed to Yu Jixing.

Sun Ce suppressed the anger in his heart, walked downstairs, and deliberately asked, "Are you Yu Ji?" ”

Yu Ji, who was a fairy wind bone, bowed slightly, and said leisurely: "It's exactly below." ”

Sun Ce sneered: "I invited some people from the Western Regions to worship the Holy Emperor of Gou Chen in the North, but I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Yu Ji's face changed slightly, and he said: "That's just some foolish people, the Tao is exquisite, how can ordinary people understand?" ”

"Others say that you are a living immortal, so do you dare to talk to the people of the Truth Cult?"

Yu Ji stroked his beard and smiled: "Why don't you dare?" ”

So Sun Ce asked someone to be sent on the spot to call the battle priests who were either endorsing or tinkering with strange things all day long. Hearing that Yu Ji Immortal was going to fight with people, the generals hurriedly cleaned up the second floor and asked Yu Ji to go up and sit down. The surrounding people also gathered around, wanting to see the immortal fighting method.

After a while, several combat priests in steel armor parted the crowd, broke into the second floor, and asked, "Who said he was an immortal?" ”

Sun Ce stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Ji and said, "This is the one!" ”

"Is that you?"

The battle priest led by him grabbed the book in his left hand and held the hammer in his right hand, glanced at Yu Ji a few times, shook his head and said, "With your body, you dare to say that you are an immortal?" ”

He made a gesture of bending his arm and said, "See? This is the way to the truth, and if you don't even have muscles, how can you pursue the avenue? ”

Yu Ji laughed loudly and said, "You wait for brute force, where do you know where the true avenue is?" Let me ask you, do you know the truth of the incarnation of heaven and man? ”

The priests shook their heads together, indicating that they had not heard of it.

Yu Ji asked several questions in a row, and the pastors all shook their heads and said they didn't know. He laughed and said, "I don't know any of this, how dare you say that you are seeking the Tao?" It is better to take refuge in my peaceful way, and you will fall into the evil way. ”

The priest waited for him to finish laughing, and said, "You asked us so many questions just now, and now I will ask you a few questions. ”

Yu Ji spat out a word, "Please." ”

"Do you know how photosynthesis works?"

"Huh?" Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "I don't know what you're talking nonsense. ”

"And do you know how the matrix is converted?"

Yu Ji shook his head and said pityingly: "Poor, pitiful, you have fallen into the evil way and started talking nonsense. ”

The battle priest at the head said angrily: "I don't know this, I don't know that, then you are a false god at best!" ”

He jerked his hammer and rushed forward, then slammed it down hard.

"Poof!"

Yu Ji's head was like a ripe courgette bursting open in the Western Regions, splashing red and white on the ground. When everyone on the side saw this change, they were all stunned. After a while, some people screamed, and many people ran away or fainted on the spot.

"Immortal Yu Ji was killed!"

"Oh my God, that man killed all the immortals, how can this happen!"

"Oh no, killing the immortals won't cause any trouble, right?"

"Kouhu!" The priest raised his hammer and roared loudly: "What a god, why can't you stop me from a hammer?" ”

He was wearing heavy steel armor and holding a blood-stained hammer with angry eyes, which was really majestic, and immediately shocked the generals and people who were about to move.

"Such gossiers confuse the public, when we were in the Western Regions, we killed I don't know how many!"

The priest leader took a sip on the ground and roared, "Mortals, keep your dog's eyes wide and see clearly, this is the power that the gods have given us!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a "snorting" explosive bag was thrown out. The fuse burned out quickly, and the orange light flashed, and a deafening sound appeared in the clearing with a wave of air. The thunder sounded on the flat land, and the anger of everyone on the side disappeared along with it. The eyes of countless people swirled back and forth on the large pit on the ground and the Shinrikyo priest with the hammer, and a strange atmosphere enveloped the space in a radius of ten zhang in an instant.

The priest raised his hammer and roared: "Mortals, you are facing a miracle! ”
