The South China Sea Immortal and Yu Ji asked again: "May I ask the general, can this entrance to the underworld be in the capital?" ”

There is a beautiful scenery of Pingdu Mountain in the city of Xudu, it is the forty-fifth blessed land in the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Legend of the Immortals" and the Jin Dynasty Ge Hong's "Legend of the Immortals" book, the Eastern Han Dynasty had Wang Fangping and Yin Changsheng and others, abandoned the official to follow Zhang Daoling to cultivate, and finally became an immortal, ascended to heaven and left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Later, the two immortals of "Wang and Yin" were falsely rumored to be the "King of Yin" and mistaken for the "King of the Netherworld", so the place where they lived was Xudu, and then became the Netherworld Prefecture dominated by the King of Yama.

On the other hand, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudou Mijiao prevailed in Sichuan, and Xudu belonged to Ba County in the Han Dynasty, which was one of the important towns of early Taoism. As a result, this Taoist belief in the mixing of gods and ghosts contributed to the formation of "ghost towns".

If Jin Liang wants to completely replace the old-style Taoism with the Protestant Tongtian Sect, he must suppress the Wudou Mi Sect, which claims to be the founder of Taoism, and he must completely deny everything set by Zhang Daoling.

Jin Liang said disdainfully: "Zhang Daoling's Five Dou Rice Dao, mixed with a lot of witchcraft, is regarded as an evil sect by the Heavenly Realm, and the land of Xudu is not the entrance to the underworld. ”

From Jin Liang's attitude, the immortals of the South China Sea and Yu Ji seemed to feel the dissatisfaction of the gods of the heavenly realm with Zhang Daoling, although Zhang Daoling had the merit of founding Taoism, they did not mention Zhang Daoling and his Five Doumi Sect.

The South China Sea Immortals, Yu Ji asked again: "There is a Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Realm who governs the scattered immortals, and can there be a ruler in the underworld?" ”

Jin Liang's brain teaser was racing. He thought of the legend of the king of Yama after the end of the Song Dynasty as Bao Zheng, and deduced according to this logic: "There is a first emperor in the heavenly realm who manages all kinds of scattered immortals for the emperor of heaven, and the most just official in the world goes to the underworld after his death to be in charge of hell and purgatory. is called Yama, and the current Yama is the previous strong point Ling Dong Xuan. ”

Dong Xuan is upright. Shrewd and capable, honest and honest officials, impartial law enforcement, not afraid of power, and enforced the domestic slaves of Emperor Guangwu's sister Princess Huyang, such as Bao Zheng of the Northern Song Dynasty, saying that he entered the underworld as Yama, which is quite credible. This statement can also convince and fear officials, big and small.

In this way, Jin Liang took great pains to expound a complete religious belief system to the Nanhai Immortals and Yu Ji, which is undoubtedly much fuller, more perfect, and less flawed than the original crude Taoist mythological system. More convincing.

After expounding the complete mythological system, Jin Liang drew on the teachings of Christianity and used ancient Chinese mythology to set the doctrine of Protestantism:

1. There is a creation god Pangu between heaven and earth, and Pangu opens the world. Create the world, and then use the most beautiful soul in heaven and earth to create Hua Xu, and give birth to a pair of children with her, the male is Fuxi, and the female is Nuwa. Pangu is the father god, Hua Xu is the mother god, Fuxi is the male god, Nuwa is the goddess, and all living beings in the heavens, the earth, and the underworld are all under the jurisdiction of the four gods.

2. The four gods created the world, but the human beings did not repay the gods at all, which is the original sin; Not only is man unable to repay God, but he also commits many sins against the will of God, which is the sin. Those who believe in the sincerity of the four gods can redeem half of their sins and be saved by God for the next life, and those who can do good for themselves and save the other half of their sins can receive the blessings of the four gods, ascend to heaven, and enjoy heavenly blessings forever for heavenly immortals, earth immortals, human immortals, and scattered immortals.

3. Self-redemption behaviors include filial piety and love for parents, loyalty to virtuous officials, respect for the old and love for the young, defense of compatriots, unity and fraternity, sacrifice for the righteousness, massacre of cultists, etc.; If you have been honest and worship the four gods, you don't need to practice alchemy, as long as you do good deeds every day, you will always succeed in redemption and become immortals.

3. If a person is not capable enough to succeed in redemption, but if he sincerely believes in God and does more good than evil, he will enter the first hell of the underworld after death, and after receiving punishment, he can enter the reincarnation. If a person does not believe in God, the original sin will be aggravated, if a person wantonly does evil, if he abuses his loving parents, betrays a virtuous ruler, betrays the country, betrays the nation, abuses his wife and children, connives a cultist, etc., then aggravates this sin, and if he does not believe in God and does more evil than good, he will be punished by the gods after death, and he will enter the second purgatory of the underworld, and accept the punishment of life after life, and he will not be able to be reborn forever, unless the descendants of future generations can enter the heavenly realm by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, so that they can be exempted from the sins of their ancestors.

5. Entering the heavenly realm or going to hell and purgatory in the underworld, all based on the merits accumulated by each person throughout his life, doing a good deed and helping one person is counted as a merit, killing a bad person or cultist is counted as a merit, saving ten people is counted as ten merits, killing ten bad people is counted as ten merits, leading people to kill ten bad people or cultists is counted as ten merits, and so on. If a priest of the Tongtian Sect preaches to you, if you don't believe it, you will deduct 10,000 merits, if you lie to His Holiness or a priest, you will deduct 10 merits, if you kill an innocent person, you will deduct 100 merits, if you harm an innocent person because of your sins, you will deduct 100 merits, if you harm 10,000 innocent people due to your sins, you will deduct 10,000 merits, and so on. If you accumulate 10,000 merit points, you can ascend to the heavenly realm as a scattered immortal, accumulate 100,000 merit points and ascend to the immortal realm as a human immortal, and accumulate 1 million merits as an earthly immortal.

6. Regardless of men, women, and children, they can join the Church, and as long as they believe in the Tongtian Religion, they will all be forgiven in the past, and they will be counted as merit from the day of their faith.

7. Each person only needs to pay one bucket of rice a year to support those priests who convey the will of the gods. Those who do one day for the church free of charge will receive a merit, and those who are willing to offer a gold to the church will receive a merit.

8. The first batch of people created by the goddess Nuwa were the Han people with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, who were most loved by the gods, and the Han people were the proud sons of the heavens, and they should get the most living space in the world created by the gods, and the place where the sun shone should be the paradise of the Han people.

9. All the gods appear in the form of Han people, and the gods of non-Han faces are all evil gods, and those who believe in them will be punished by the gods, and they will not be allowed to ascend to the heavenly realm for eternity, unless they change their faith; Those who believe in the gods and destroy the evil gods, if the sin is less, they can enter the heavenly realm and enjoy the blessings of heaven forever.

10. All alien races, no matter what their original appearance is, as long as they are willing to be sinicized, qualified to be sinicized, and believe in Tongtian Religion, they are all forgiven for their previous sins, and are protected by the gods.

Yu Ji and Nanhai Immortal had some questions about the ninth point, and Jin Liang patiently explained to them.

At this time, under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there were some small-scale religions spreading in each region, and Jin Liang did not reject these religions from the beginning, giving these religions some opportunities for development, but as long as they issued a statement supporting the rule of the Xiangyang court over this continent, they were asked to make a statement to put the interests of the country and the nation first.

But Jin Liang was very disappointed, most of the sects regard their belief in gods and spirits as more important than the state and the nation, Jin Liang saw from these sects the shadow of the traitor schools in Taoism such as the Quanzhen School and the Xuan School that surrendered to the Mengyuan Dynasty during the Southern Song Dynasty, and Jin Liang felt that those religious factions that claimed that religion transcended national boundaries and then declared the state and nation were all cults and enemies of Tongtian Sect, and people and gods were angry and must be eradicated. In addition to Buddhism, which was suppressed by Jin Liang and spread among the Hu people, other religions such as shamanism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity were all religions of foreign invaders, and they were all classified as cults by Jin Liang.

After Jin Liang's patient persuasion, Yu Ji and Nanhai Immortals accepted the teachings of Tongtian Sect formulated by Jin Liang, and Tongtian Sect entered the pioneering stage after that.

Jin Liang imitated the structure of Catholicism and asked the Son of Heaven Liu Wei to proclaim himself as the pope, Liu Wei happily participated in the coronation ceremony of the pope, Yu Ji and the immortals of the South China Sea once again performed superhuman Taoism, showing the miracles of the four gods in the main hall, and the creation god Pangu personally put the papal crown on Liu Bian's head.

The statues of the four gods of Pangu, Huaxu, Fuxi, and Nuwa were all depicted by Jin Liang according to the impressions of later generations, and the immortals of Yu Ji and Nanhai used their Taoist techniques to present the images of these four gods.

Yu Ji and the Nanhai Immortals asked Jin Liangdao: "Why didn't the four heavenly gods go down to earth in person, but asked us to use Dao techniques to structure them?" ”

Jin Liang explained: "The four gods are in the highest heavens, ignoring mundane affairs for a long time, and the people who communicate with the human world are the first emperor Han Ling Emperor, the first emperor please not move the four gods, so I have to let you structure it!" ”

The Nanhai Immortal remembered that he had used Taoism to create a fictional Emperor of Han Ling, so he asked, "Why didn't the First Emperor himself appear, but asked me to show the First Emperor the structure to the Young Emperor?" ”

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Zuo Heavenly Master, don't you know that once the immortals have attained the Heavenly Dao and entered the Heavenly Realm, they will receive the Heavenly Ring, and they cannot go down to the earth in person, but can only send the Heavenly Apocalypse to the relevant people and let him convey the intentions of the Heavenly Realm." Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is surrounded by disasters and famines, and the barbarians on all sides are eyeing each other, and they are on the verge of extinction, and the Emperor of Heaven has consulted with Wen Xian and Wu Xian, and has issued a decree, asking me to find the two of you to establish Tongtian Sect together, and gather the thoughts of the Han people together to deal with foreign enemies. ”

The immortals of the South China Sea and Yu Ji couldn't help but be shocked when they thought about the desolate appearance of the Central Plains, and they believed Jin Liang a little.

Jin Liang deliberately depicted Fuxi's appearance with reference to himself, and there was a bit of similarity, and the mystery in it was up to those believers to guess by themselves, anyway, Jin Liang was ready to hide himself behind the scenes and not participate in teaching affairs.

But the Nanhai Immortals, Yu Ji, and Liu Wei all believed that Jin Liang was the messenger of communication between the heavens and the world, and could not let Jin Liang go and hide behind the scenes.

The coronation ceremony of the Pope is the founding ceremony of the Tongtian Sect, and it is the most critical moment to establish the majesty of the belief in the Tongtian Sect.

The coronation ceremony of the Tongtian Pope, more than 200,000 people in Jizhou came to participate, at first under the maintenance of the Jinliang Central Army, the order was in order, but when Yu Ji and the Nanhai Immortals were under the control of the two Taoist skills, the four gods of the Tongtian Sect came out of the sun with golden light all over their bodies, walked to the temple of the Tongtian Sect, took out the crown of the Pope and put it on Liu Wei, and read out the teachings of the Tongtian Sect, the people watching the ceremony around the temple of the Tongtian Sect were impressed by the magnificent and brilliant miracles, and most of them fell to their knees. Only those brothers of the family will stand there in disbelief.

When the four gods saw that they did not kneel, they were furious, they threw their hands away, and dozens of balls were thrown around those family brothers, and there was a loud bang, and these family brothers were blown up and cried wolves.

The great god Pangu shouted loudly: "If you don't believe in this god, this god will be punished with a thin punishment, if you continue to disbelieve, your own purgatory is waiting for you, so that you will never be able to live beyond the life, and you will be punished by heart-rending punishment for generations." ”

Those who believed in Confucianism and then preached atheism knelt down in fear.

The Bagua invented by Fuxi has become the symbol of Tongtian Sect, and the building of the temple is somewhat like Bagua and some like ladders, which corresponds to the teachings of Tongtian Sect, as long as you believe in Tongtian Sect. Believe in the gods, and you can climb the ladder to the sky.

Jin Liang was dressed in a gossip robe and knelt under the gossip flag. Looking at those grizzled family brothers, I couldn't help sneering in my heart, can I tell you that these are earthen gunpowder bombs.

Yu Ji and the South China Sea Immortals, the by-product of their alchemy, gunpowder, has already come out. However, at this stage, Jin Liang has not figured out the most accurate formula for gunpowder, so he has to ask a few Taoist priests who are good at alchemy to continue to make formulas, in order to find the most appropriate ratio of sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, so that gunpowder is the most powerful.

It's ridiculous to say that Jin Liang crossed over, and many historical classics can remember, but he forgot the formula of gunpowder. Now he doesn't have a computer network at hand to ask Du Niang, so he has to let those Taoist priests keep groping, and it is estimated that it will take several years to find the best formula.

Jin Liang is not ready to use this kind of gunpowder that can barely explode and make a sound for military purposes, and the least that can be used in the military must be the black powder of later generations, from the bottom of his heart, Jin Liang does not want to end the era of cold weapons prematurely, so he does not ask for a deadline for these Taoist priests who do gunpowder ratio tests. As long as they keep a record of the experiments, they strive to get better and better at gunpowder.

Prior to this, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan and other highly respected contemporary Confucians also extremely disapproved of the imperial court's involvement in religious construction.

Jin Liang knew that for these Confucianists who were proficient in Confucianism, he could no longer pretend to be gods and ghosts, so he had to say truthfully: "The people have the pursuit of believing in gods and seeking psychological satisfaction. If they are not allowed to believe in the Taiping Dao, they will trust the Wudou Rice Dao, or they will believe in Buddhism, and if the imperial court does not intervene in it, it will only cause a riot in the Taiping Dao and the Wudou Rice Dao, resulting in today's chaos! The imperial court must actively influence the people's beliefs, guide people to goodness, guide their beliefs into the right path, and let them know that only by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue can they have a bright and beautiful destination. ”

Jin Liang let Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and others see the teachings of Tongtian Sect, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan and others saw that the position of Confucius Sage was still above Jin Shang, and he was in the same column as Emperor Yan and Huang and Daode Xianzun, and they were very satisfied, and they saw that the teachings of Tongtian Sect were very positive, and compared with the incomprehensible teachings of Taiping Dao and Wudou Mi Dao, they were too sound and too bright, and they all deeply agreed, and under the strong request of Jin Liang and Liu Bian, they also joined Tongtian Sect.

Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and other great Confucians joined the Tongtian Sect, and those disciples who followed them to practice Confucianism had nothing to say, and those family figures under the rule of the Xiangyang Imperial Court were only Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and others in the spiritual and cultural field.

The Taoism of Taoist priests such as Yu Ji, Nanhai Xianren, and Ge Xuan were displayed everywhere under the rule of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, and the ordinary people were fascinated, and the imperial court not only did not prohibit but encouraged, and more than 10 million people under the rule of the Xiangyang Imperial Court joined the Tongtian Sect one after another.

The central army and county soldiers under Jin Liang's command all joined the Tongtian Sect before the ordinary people, and they all joined the Tongtian Sect voluntarily, and the most encouraging point about their joining the Tongtian Sect was that "the slaughter of cultists is not only not guilty, but meritorious", which determines that they have countless military exploits waiting for them.

The teachings of Tongtian Sect make it clear that "the first batch of people created by the goddess Nuwa herself are the Han people with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, who are most loved by the gods, and the Han people are the pride of the heavens, and they should get the most living space in the world created by the gods, and the place where the sun shines should be the happy land of the Han people", which is a great encouragement for the soldiers who are bent on seeking military exploits, who are sealed in the shadow of their wives in their lifetime and ascend to the heavenly realm after death. Jin Liang began to determine the Han nation from the perspective of spiritual beliefs, and from then on it was a strong warlike nation that was aggressive and dominated Eurasia, and was no longer the weak and cowardly nation that had been bullied by foreign barbarians.

In fact, the Han nation in the Qin and Han dynasties was not as cowardly and afraid of war as later generations, if the Han nation in the Qin and Han dynasties was not warlike, it was impossible to have such a large territory, "Chen Tang's "Ming offender strong man, although far away will be punished" words are still in the ear, the Eastern Han Dynasty two hundred years of family rule, but the Han people lost their blood, those nomadic barbarians are bullied to the head, Jin Liang is very dissatisfied with this, fortunately there is a religious tool of Tongtianjiao, which can restore the blood of the Han people.

Although Jin Liang, the sect honorable, is under Pope Liu Wei, he is the actual sect leader, Tongtian Sect has been recognized by all strata, and there are 10 million believers, and he deserves his name.

Under the Tongtian Sect are the Auxiliary Han Heavenly Master Yu Ji and the Zuohan Heavenly Master Nanhai Immortals.
