In fact, strictly speaking, Yu Ji's set is not a religious act. A religion is a religion because it consists of three factors: doctrine, the head of the religion and the order, and all three factors are indispensable. In contrast, the Wudou Mi Sect founded by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and the Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao, who had been dead for more than ten years, are closer to the definition of religion.

As for Yu Ji, although he has studied Taoist classics intensively, and has learned the super high ability to observe meteorology, he is more like a believer than Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu ruled Hanzhong with the Five Doumi Sect and maintained the stability and development of Hanzhong for more than 20 years; Zhang Jiao used the Taiping Road to envelop the believers, and rose up, almost killing the Han River, in the heart of Gao Ye, they are called a religious movement.

In fact, both Europe and the Middle East, whether it is Christianity or Islam, have had a profound impact on the people, life, culture, and even the rule of the people. There was even a long time in Europe where the kings of various countries had to be approved by the pope in order to inherit the throne. In the Middle East, Muhammad unified a troubled region with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other, and the Arabs have since stepped onto the stage of history and continue to flourish in modern society. To be honest, China's so-called three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are nothing compared to these Western religions. Even though Buddhism and Taoism desperately want to establish a transcendent status for themselves, they have developed for more than a thousand years, and they are still living under the imperial power.

For religion, China may be a place of sorrow. Gao Ye never believed in religion, perhaps because he was frightened by Lun Gong when he was a child, so he had no good feelings about religion. Therefore, for Yu Ji's actions, Gao Ye can be said to be vigilant in an instant. An old Taoist priest who knows how to observe the weather and cure diseases and save people has the name of a god among the people. Now that he has come to the academy and has seen so many books and classics, it is not impossible that he will have some thoughts in his heart. The emergence of Taoism in China may have been inevitable, but Gao Ye would never allow Taoism and Buddhism, which had already emerged, to develop as it did in history.

Therefore, he used a small story to send away Cao Zhi's high night, and solemnly left Yu Ji behind. Now is the troubled times, people's minds are changing, Yu Ji wants to choose this time to divide the sect, it is definitely the best time. After years of fighting, even people like Gao Ye feel bitter, let alone the people? It may be a good choice to let them have a spiritual sustenance, provided that this sustenance has no impact on the great cause of reunification on their side. But there is such a thing as power, which has its own inherent inertia, and the ruler can not care about 12,000 believers. With 100,000,000 millions of believers, how can a ruler not be shocked in one night?

Thinking about the centuries-long religious wars between the Crusaders and the Muslims made Gao Ye shudder. Thinking about those fanatical religious believers made Gao Ye a little frightened. In the memory of Gao Ye, it was the believers who burned Jeanne Darke, the believers who burned Giordano Bruno, and the believers who burned Galileo Galilei; It was believers who sold black slaves from Africa, who stripped the skulls of Indians in the Americas, and who sold opium to the Qing Dynasty. Even in the 21st century, wouldn't there be a horrific event like 9/11, and wouldn't there be a miraculous state like ISIS that would cause terrorist attacks all over the world?

Religion can rule people's minds, but if you think about it, isn't this the most terrible thing in this era of economic backwardness, poor information, high illiteracy rate, and people who like to follow the crowd? Gao Ye is really unimaginable, if one day the emperor of China really has to rely on a certain celestial master or some kind of abbot to recognize, Gao Ye feels that he is not stable even in the underworld. But the entry of Buddhism has completely stimulated the rise of religion, which is the trend of history, and even the high night officials are powerless to stop it. Gao Ye saw this very clearly, so Gao Ye now just wanted to put a halter on this fierce horse from the beginning, and also save future generations of Tuoba Tao, Yu Wenyong, Li Yan, and Chai Rong from trying their best to fight against religion and protect the country.

Although what Gao Ye is doing now seems a little redundant, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe it as unfounded, Gao Ye knows that because of his existence, the wheel of history has gone off the rails and is speeding away on another road. I am afraid that the history of the future generations that I know can only become the history in my heart. At this point, Gao Ye's heart was slightly satisfied, but also deeply afraid. When I have no basis to learn from, and I really want to cross the river by feeling the stones, I am also afraid that I will fall into the water if I am not careful. It's not a big deal if you fall into the water, but if you fall into the water with the whole nation...... Gao Ye didn't dare to think about this consequence at all.

However, Yu Ji is not a stupid person, and it is not a strange thing that his actions have attracted the attention of Gao Ye. There is the rebellion of the Yellow Turban in front of Zhang Jiao, and it is reasonable for Gao Ye to behave like this. What do you need most as a ruler? It's the support of the people! Isn't it because of this reason that I was persecuted in Jiangdong!

Therefore, before Gao Ye opened his mouth, Yu Ji himself said: "What Situ wants to say, I already know everything. Situ is just worried about the old things of the Yellow Turban, Situ You can rest assured. Now that the luck is on Lord Sikong, how dare the old man go against the sky? ”

Gao Ye suddenly raised his head when he heard this, stared at Yu Ji deadly, and suddenly said: "If the son is in Yingdu today, why is the luck not in the Son of Heaven, but in Sikong?" ”

In the face of Gao Ye's questioning, Yu Ji said indifferently: "Lao Dao has been concentrating on cultivation for decades, although he has not been able to walk against the wind like Liezi, and he has not yet attained the Great Dao like Lao Tzu, but the heavenly machine can still peek through a few threads. Although the Taoism is not profound, it can still pray for rain for the people when it is in Jiangdong. Although I have not yet taken off this mortal womb, the people are willing to call me a god, and there is one. How can I not see through the luck now? ”

Seeing Yu Ji's smile, Gao Ye couldn't help but scold in his heart, he didn't know whether this old Taoist priest was high or not, but his ability to persuade was really powerful. After all, now Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and defeated Yuan Shao, a behemoth, and his prestige was unparalleled for a while, and it was expected to dominate the world. People of insight in the world can see it clearly, how can Yu Ji not see it clearly? Since you understand this in your heart, it is not difficult to understand that the situation between Liu Xie and Cao Cao must be life-and-death. Don't look at Liu Xie's current appearance, but the power is in Cao Cao's hands, and the people only hear the name of Sikong but don't know the emperor, which Yu Ji, who often wanders in the countryside, is naturally deeply touched. He chose to side with Cao Cao, not on a whim.

But what really annoyed Gao Ye was that he used his identity to coerce Gao Ye, what is it called peeping into the sky? What is it called praying for rain for the people, and what is called "to the gods"? Isn't it just to tell himself clearly that with his identity as an immortal, he can make Cao Cao's Han Dynasty more justifiable! As long as everyone supports him to build a religion in Yu Ji and recruit believers, then Cao Cao's ascension to the throne is definitely God's choice!

The Son of Heaven, the son of God, the grandson of God, the power of the king, is just the law of the foolish people. In the words of later generations of Mao Weiren, it was the power that came out of the barrel of a gun! If you don't have the strength, you want to sit on the throne, it's just a fantasy. But Gao Ye also has to admit that the theory of the Son of Heaven is still very marketable at least in this era, and the people are willing to believe it. If Yu Ji's "master outside the world" accidentally "leaked the secret of heaven", Gao Ye believed that Cao Cao's name as the Son of Heaven did not need to be determined by ascending the throne at all.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages, if the legitimacy of the Cao family in the future is really established in the hearts of the people by relying on Taoist propaganda, then for the Cao family, the stinky foot of Taoism will not work. Otherwise, the Taoist leader will accidentally "leak the heavenly opportunity" one day, saying that the Cao family's luck is exhausted, and what princes and princes will have a kind of Xiangning, and when that day comes, how should the ruler deal with it?

Yu Ji wants to establish his own religion, which is understandable, but using this way to coerce and lure really makes Gao Ye a little unhappy. What's more, there are such huge hidden dangers in this, now Cao Cao is strong and Taoism is weak, and Taoists obey Cao Cao's orders, so naturally they don't have to worry. But who would know that a hundred years later, with the increase of Taoist believers, under the transposition of host and guest, Taoist leaders will be willing to hibernate.

Therefore, Gao Ye looked at Yu Ji and just sneered and said, "Hehe, the idea is not bad, there is no near worry, Yu Daochang thinks far enough." Since you have always been able to pinch and calculate, then why don't you count, will I support you or suppress you in today's affairs? ”

"The prosperity of my Taoist family is also a good thing in Sikong and Situ. Situ is a rare wise man in the world, how can such a perfect thing be stopped? Moreover, Cao Si's air luck is prosperous, and it will become something that has never been done for thousands of years. It is also a blessing that my Taoist can be attached to Jiwei, so why should Situ worry? ”

This is to give in, how can a guy like Yu Ji who is an old man not know what Gao Ye is worried about now. Through Gao Ye's words just now, coupled with his experience in Jiangdong, Yu Ji knew very well in his heart that if the Dao Gate he wanted to establish wanted to be independent of the world, it would inevitably be hit by Gao Ye's storm. Only obedience is a ray of life.

I only heard Gao Ye sigh and said: "Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao, cultivating your own way, why do you have to open a sect, why do you have to attract believers?" The lessons of the Yellow Turban Rebellion are not deep enough! In the final analysis, the people are the greatest force in the world, and if you want to build a religion like this, you don't want to think about it, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch! ”

Gao Ye's words are heavy, but in fact, they are just scaring and scaring Yu Ji. He had already suffered a loss in Jiangdong, and he was quite frightened of this. Although there is war now, the Yingchuan area is still prosperous, there has been no war for more than ten years, and although the people are not well-off, they can still do it without worrying about food and clothing. When they no longer worry about having enough to eat every day, the need for spiritual food will be revealed. Although it is not obvious now, Gao Ye knows that this is an inevitable law of development. If you want to make Taoism controllable, you must make Yu Ji obey willingly.

However, Yu Ji was not as timid as Gao Ye thought, as soon as Gao Ye's words fell, he looked at Gao Ye straight and said: "Situ thinks I should start a sect, I will listen to the old way." ”
