Xin Yifan went to the Celestial Temple, met with Zhang Yunheng, and also informed Zhang Yunheng about the trip to Europe, and handed over the situation of the Holy Religion and the parchment scroll he learned about this time to Zhang Yunheng.

Zhang Yunheng was a little surprised by this matter, especially Xin Yifan actually became a saint of the Holy Sect, Zhang Yunheng felt even more incredible.

I don't know much about the dark world Xin Yifan, especially Huaxia, Zhang Yunheng seems to be reluctant to mention it, and bluntly said that there is no dark world in Huaxia, and those with different abilities are all unified by the state, which is completely different from the situation abroad.

Zhang Yunheng seemed to be quite interested in the consciousness imprint of those saints, and looked at the parchment scroll for a long time, and then fell into deep thought.

Xin Yifan didn't dare to disturb and waited quietly by the side.

"Sir, I see that there is a mixture of the power of Buddhism and the power of ancient Manichaeism, which is a mixture of the power of Christian faith and the power of the wish of Elan, and it can be said that the power of consciousness of these saints of the Holy Religion draws on the laws of ancient and modern religions, and the power of Manichaeism is the most powerful. Zhang Yunheng said.

"Elder Zhang, I don't understand what you mean. Xin Yifan heard it in a fog.

"Sir, you know the three major world religions in existence. Zhang Yunheng said, seeing Xin Yifan nodding lightly, he continued to explain.

"Actually, there is another religion that has also spread throughout the world, and that is Manichaeism! The name of this religion in China is Mingjiao! It is worshiped as the supreme god of Ming, and later there are many branches, such as the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect, and so on, but it has been feared by the Chinese people in power for generations, and has always been designated as a cult, so it has to be spread in the name of Buddhism and Taoism. Zhang Yunheng slowly said something about Manichaeism.

"There is a sect in the Holy Religion called Manichaeism, is it possible that there are followers of Manichaeism?" Xin Yifan asked.

Zhang Yunheng shook his head and said: "This old decay is not clear, but speaking of this Manichaeism, it has something to do with this Brahma Mountain." ”

"Oh? Please tell me more about it. Xin Yifan arched his hand and said.

Manichaeism originated in ancient Persia, and has spread to all parts of the Australian continent except the Americas and Australia in three hundred years, and was once the third largest world religion, surpassing Christianity, and its influence is greater than that of Taoism in China, and even has a tendency to surpass Buddhism and Buddhism.

Its fundamental doctrine is the theory of two sects and three worlds, and the two sects point out darkness, that is, good and evil.

The three interstitial areas refer to the primary, middle, and posterior interstitial horizons, and the primary interstitial stage, light and dark are separated. In the middle stage, darkness invades the light, and light fights with darkness, and the two are mixed. In the later stage, light and dark are separated again.

The three worlds represent the past, present, and future.

Manichaeism was originally a fusion of Christianity and Judaism, and later of Buddhism and Taoism.

When it flourished, it was the state religion of many countries, especially in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, Manichaeism was seen in various documents, the first female emperor Chen Shuozhen, and the Fangla peasant uprising, all under the banner of Manichaeism.

The Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang exterminated Manichaeism, and then turned into underground activities, often used by peasant uprisings, there was a Qing generation, the vigorous White Lotus uprising, all have the shadow of Manichaeism.

In fact, Manichaeism is not a cult in terms of doctrine and purpose, and its main religious god is also an imaginary god of light, who does not participate in secular things, but in the end it was strangled by the religious alliance of those in power, and almost disappeared in all civilization systems.

Zhang Yunheng explained that the Fanshan Mountain was the place where Buddhism and Taoism united to deal with Mani, and was finally destroyed. He also guessed that in fact, the original Sandaoism was also established under the influence of Manichaeism and Taoism, and the clues can be seen from its teachings.

Now Zhang Yunheng has discovered the power of Manichaeism's consciousness through the consciousness imprint of the saints.

"Elder Zhang, according to what you mean, this holy religion seems to be a variant of Manichaeism, but it has gone underground and is not visible to the world, is that what it means?" After listening to Zhang Yunheng's explanation, combined with his own archaeological and historical knowledge, Xin Yifan asked.

"No, that's not what the old man meant, the old man never thought Manichaeism was a cult. In order to meet the needs of the people, it gives full play to its moral concept of pursuing light, kindness, frugality, and fraternity, so it has won the hearts of the people so that it has spread very much, and has also been used by people with good intentions to become a slogan against those in power. Zhang Yunheng said with some regret.

Then the tone of conversation changed, and he continued: "Sir proposed to simplify the doctrine before, advocating the truth, and the old decay agrees, and the complex doctrines and dogmas of each religion are different from those of other religions, and there is also a purpose to restrain believers and prevent people with intentions from using this religion as a tool to cause trouble. ”

"Elder Zhang, what do you mean is that Manichaeism is easy to be used because the doctrine is simple and clear, and it caters to the hearts of the people, and all dynasties have used it as a cover for uprisings, so it has become the object of fear from all sides, and finally it will be destroyed together. Xin Yifan said along Zhang Yunheng's train of thought.

"Probably so! According to the situation of the Holy Sect that you explained to me, the old man has a conjecture!" Zhang Yunheng said.

"Mr. Zhang, you said. Xin Yifan bowed and gestured.

"Religions, especially world religions, are all the means of controlling the world of the Holy Religion!" Zhang Yunheng looked at Xin Yifan and said with a serious expression.

After listening to Zhang Yunheng's words, Xin Yifan did not feel particularly strange, which was not particularly strange from his previous perception of the Holy Sect.

"However, it seems that there is a split in the Holy Sect now, and the struggle has been very fierce, judging from the situation you stated, it seems that the Manichaean sect is guilty of public anger, or that the current holy envoy of the Holy Sect has destroyed the interests of the Holy Priests, and the other Holy Priests are now in a weak position, and they have to pull us to the East to deal with that Sai Po!" Zhang Yunheng once again put forward his hypothesis.

Hearing this, Xin Yifan couldn't help but nodded, this assumption is very logical and practical, and it is also consistent with his own ideas.

"Elder Zhang, what should I do now, can you teach me?" Xin Yifan bowed and saluted.

"Sir, don't be like this, torment old age. Zhang Yunheng said while returning the salute.

"Sir, the world has long been integrated, no country, nation, religion, sect can exist in the world alone, no religion and sect can be dominant, culture, religion will be integrated, my Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will inevitably participate in this historical tide. Zhang Yunheng talked eloquently.

"The Holy Sect chose Mr. as a saint, it is also to show favor to me Huaxia, they must have done a detailed investigation of Mr., Mr. has the support of the Huaxia Xuanmen, and the approval of the family, and more importantly, Mr. has a different time and space ability, so you are the best choice! Besides, the disappearance of the Dyeing Lay may be related to the Manichaean sect and the Holy Envoy, and Mr. will definitely make a trade-off. Zhang Yunheng's analysis is clear, reasonable, and well-founded, which makes Xin Yifan agree.

"Elder Zhang, what do you mean is that we will cooperate with them to deal with the Manichaeans and the Holy Envoys!" Xin Yifan asked.

"Why not, doesn't that Kelvinson Holy Priest want you to be a holy envoy, why not!" Zhang Yunheng stroked his long beard and smiled slightly.

"Okay, Zhang Lao, I know what else to do, Xuanmen and the family also asked Zhang Lao to deal with it on their behalf, as for the official... I talked to Taibai. Xin Yifan said seriously.

Zhang Yunheng hesitated, sighed lightly, and said, "Sir, the official will also be done by the old man, my unfilial son is the person responsible for this regard, I haven't seen him for many years, this time the old man will go to the capital and meet him!" Zhang Yunheng's tone revealed a sense of relief.

Xin Yifan probably knew some of the grievances between the father and son, and it seemed that the old man had put aside his prejudices for the sake of the overall situation, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to him.

"Yifan remembers Zhang Lao's affection!" said that, he gave Zhang Yunheng a deep salute.

Zhang Yunheng didn't accept it, and hurriedly returned the salute.

After leaving the Cupola Temple, Xin Yifan returned home, and Zeng Yulian had been waiting for a long time.

"Chairman, the infrastructure of the Cultural City has been basically completed, do you want to go and see it?" Zeng Yulian asked.

"Don't look at it, I'm ready to go back to Shanghai. Xin Yifan said.

Zeng Yulian said with some hesitation: "You better go and take a look, there are some strange things... Well, none of us can see it. ”

"What's strange?" Xin Yifan asked puzzled.

"Hmm... I can't tell, but you'll know when you go. Zeng Yulian said, the expression on her face was also a little strange.

Looking at Zeng Yulian's strange expression, Xin Yifan said, "Let's go, let's take a look!"

The two walked to Fanshan Town, and planned out the place to build the Cultural City, which is in the northwest of the old town, the terrain is flat, and the planning area is dozens of times that of the old town, and this is a huge construction site at this time.

After arriving, Zeng Yulian took Xin Yifan to the center of the Cultural City, where a huge palace was to be built.

As a result, when the construction personnel were digging the foundation, they found that after digging more than three meters of soil and gravel layers, there was a hard rock layer underneath, and some large equipment was needed to continue digging down.

After the large equipment arrived, the construction crew began to measure the rock formation, only to find that all the instruments were out of order, and even the watch would slow down when it was placed on the excavated rock formation.

The construction team used large drilling machinery to drill a hole in the rock formation, and when they went back to work the next day, they found that the hole that had been drilled out seemed to be healed, except for the outer section, and the bottom was turned into rock again.

At first, the construction workers thought it was a prank by the workers, poured cement into it, sent someone to guard it, and put a camera, and the next day, a strange scene happened, and the drill bit deep into the rock was pushed out.

I flipped through the video and played it quickly, and saw the process of the drill bit being slowly ejected.

At this time, the manager in charge of the construction felt that something was abnormal, so he took the stone for testing, and the result was that the rock was all quartzite, with no special composition.

After several experiments, the results were the same.

So the construction manager reported the situation to Zeng Yulian, and at first someone suggested that there might be a volcano below, and found a professional explorer to explore, but the instrument also failed.

As a result, the construction of the central building had to be stopped.
