Seventy-three: The Rise of the Cult of God
Tianzhi listened to the report of the yin and yang head, and was amazed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even said that the yin and yang heads were miracles, which made him also move his mind to take a look.
In the course of three days, the six sects had a dispute with the Divine Cult, and the news that the messenger of the Divine Cult swore to invite the miracle to appear in the world has caused a sensation throughout Kyoto under the deliberate spread of people with good intentions, and even people from nearby prefectures and counties have rushed to the western suburbs of Kyoto to see what the miracle is like!
When Tianzhi came to the western suburbs under the escort of the palace guards, it was already crowded with people, and in the place where the armor guards the Zhangxu, the land had risen slightly, as if a huge germ was about to break through the ground. Outside the circle guarded by the armor priests, countless god-worshippers knelt down in the dark, some offered incense, some prayed for blessings, and some cried with joy, not to mention the spectacular scene, this pious atmosphere was still infecting the crowd of people who came to see the excitement.
"This is a miracle?" Tianzhi asked Abe and Yin and Yang Tou, who accompanied him.
"Yes, this is a miracle, we can prove that there was nothing in the place in the first place, and that something really grew in the soil under the strict protection of the armor soldiers." Abe rushed to answer, and Yin Yang nodded in agreement.
"Have you seen what grows out of the soil?" Tenchi was even more curious.
"I can't see clearly, the ministers don't dare to dig up the soil to check" After Yin Yang Tou finished speaking, he remembered that the messenger of the Divine Sect said that those who abandon my religion will be punished by God, and he couldn't help but worry that Tianzhi was curious about what he did to disrespect the gods, so he hurriedly added: "Wait a few days, this miracle should be clear after it breaks through the ground, and in these days, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict prohibiting idle people from approaching the miracle, but the messenger of the Divine Cult said that if you disrespect the gods and turn your back on the Divine Religion, there will be heavenly punishment." ”
Temposhi was frightened by the Yin and Yang Tou's conclusive rhetoric, and he had promised Abe that he would consider making the Cult of God the state religion as long as the pirates were able to evacuate the coast, but that was only a coping word; But the Cult of God really let the pirates leave, and Tianzhi also asked people to inquire whether the Cult of God had collusion with pirates, and the answer was that the pirates were influenced by the gods to leave voluntarily, which in Tianzhi's eyes was pure nonsense and not taken seriously, and the matter of the Divine Religion being the state religion was put on hold.
Now that the Divine Cult has seen miracles again, he can't help but feel that it is better to believe it than to believe it. Of course, this is just that he wants to worship it, in case there is really a heavenly punishment, and as for the importance of establishing it as a state religion, let's see how important it is.
This worship of Tianzhi undoubtedly gave the greatest publicity to the Divine Religion, and more and more people believed in the Divine Religion, and even more pious people simply set up shacks and lived next to the miracle so that they could bow down from time to time. There are also skeptics among them, who stay to see what can grow out of the soil.
Two more days passed, and two major events blew up in Kyoto and other places, and some people saw a statue of a god growing out of the soil little by little; There are many people who have seen this miracle, including those who have always doubted the authenticity of the miracle. Another major event is that last night suddenly thunder fell from the sky, the mountain gate of the six sects was burned by the thunder, and countless people saw the divine fire fall from the sky, and the mountain gate made of stone was burned down, no matter how the monks put it out, they couldn't extinguish the divine fire.
At first, some people didn't believe it, how could there be fire that was not afraid of water, and how could a mountain gate made of stone be not extinguished without combustibles? But when they saw someone carrying the monk who was stained with divine fire to the hospital for treatment, they couldn't help but believe it, it was terrible! Just a few sparks burned those monks to reveal their bones, what other fire can have such power besides divine fire? Not to mention that they believed it, but the few burned monks were lying in the hospital hall and kept praying to the gods to forgive their sins.
This is divine punishment! The oath of the messenger of the Church of God was fulfilled. Of course, there is a reward for punishment, and there are many devout believers from poor families who wake up one night to find that they have more food, money, and other things by their bedside.
With the spread of these news, there were also many Shinkyo messengers in Kyoto and other places at the same time, these messengers spread the gospel and also provided free medical treatment and rescue for the local people, and even more messengers showed their magical powers to "kill demons" for the local area, and the stories of these Shinkyo messengers spread even faster than the miracles.
Just when the statue completely broke out of the ground, there was amazing news that there was a prodigy in Iga, this prodigy body with divine light can know the past and the future, as soon as the news came out, the messengers of the Divine Sect from all over the world rushed to Iga, and some people even rumored that this prodigy was the reincarnation of the gods, and it was also the head of the future Divine Cult.
Tianzhi couldn't sit still anymore when he got the news, the current followers of the Divine Cult have far surpassed Buddhism, and the number is still increasing, and even most of the officials in his eight provinces are said to have joined the Divine Cult, and if such a religion is not controlled, it may become a disaster in the future. In the past, the Divine Sect had no leader and it didn't worry Tianzhi, but now there is a reincarnation of the Heavenly God, which means that there will be a spiritual leader, and it is a bit terrifying for such a large force to be concentrated in the hands of one person. Tenchi decided to summon the so-called reincarnation of the god immediately.
His purpose in doing this is very simple, Tianzhi wants to see if this child is really the reincarnation of the god or if there is something behind him.
The messenger sent by Tenchi returned a few days later, but no one was invited, and the reason given by the Divine Sect was that the Patriarch had not yet fully accepted the inheritance of the Celestial Gods, and that he would come to Kyoto when the Patriarch reached the age of sixteen. However, the prodigy did not come, but asked the messenger to bring a letter to Tianzhi.
Tianzhi opened it and saw that there were only a few words on the letter: "Brother Dao, Brother Dao, Brother Daogong, the blessing of the people, the luck of the country." ”
The prince of the sea man is his younger brother, and he can ascend the throne, and the sea man has contributed a lot, but after he took the throne, he was afraid of his brother's ability and gradually became estranged from him, how could a prodigy know such a secret thing? Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of a god? I'm afraid of people pondering, the more I think about it, the more things happen, Tianzhi can't figure it out, this is a letter to prevent my brother and let me get close to my brother?
A letter succeeded in causing Tenchi to shift his attention from the Divine Cult to the prince of the sea people.
At the same time, the prince of the sea people also received a letter from the Divine Sect, "Take a step back and open the sea and the sky", what does this mean? It will not be unclear to the people of the Divine Sect who have been in the limelight recently, the prodigy can know the past and the future, and when he writes to himself, something must happen, is it Tianzhi who wants to deal with himself?
Just when the sea people were speculating, suddenly a palace guard came to say that Tianzhi invited him to the palace, and this news made the sea people marvel that this prodigy was really powerful. It seems that Tianzhi is really going to deal with himself, "take a step back and open the sky", okay, I will do what the prodigy said. If I can survive this, I will believe in the Cult of God.
Tianzhi only said one thing when he summoned the sea people, he wanted to promise the throne, and the sea people naturally refused immediately according to the prodigy's prompts. The actions of the sea people reassured Tianzhi, and he immediately crowned the prince of the sea people as the eldest emperor's younger brother. And the sea people are also secretly glad that if it weren't for the prodigy to remind him that he really couldn't resist the temptation of power and agreed to succeed to the throne, now it seems that Tianzhi has no intention of passing on the throne at all, he is obviously testing himself.
"Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, and brothers, the blessings of the people; Take a step back, open the sea and open the sky", both things have been fulfilled, which makes the future leader of the Divine Sect of Tianzhi and the people of the sea realize at the same time that he really has the ability to know the past and the future.
Thirteen Niang never thought that her discordant plan had gone off the rails, and by mistake she really saved the life of the sea people, and she didn't expect that this would also make the sea people really become emperors in the future, and the sea people not only became emperors but also joined the Divine Cult from then on. But that's another story.
"If you dare to make fun of my son, aren't you afraid of my family law?" Di Feng slapped Thirteen Niang's plump buttocks as he spoke.
"Afraid! But it's not okay! Thirteen Niang arched Di Feng with her head to make herself lie more comfortable.
"Not anymore!"
"Hmm!"
Di Feng asked again, "By the way, how did you know about that sea man?" Can you pinch it too? ”
"Abe said, the little bit of the royal seizure of power is also a secret that they themselves deceive, and bystanders can understand the ghost thoughts of these people with their toes." After Thirteen Niang finished speaking, she pushed Di Feng: "Go back quickly!" If it's too late, your precious lady should bring someone to catch the adulterer. (To be continued.) )
