Manichaeism, also known as Mingjiao, originated in the ancient Persian Sassanid Dynasty and was founded by the Persian Mani in the mid-3rd century AD, influenced by Christianity and the teachings of Zoroastrian Mazda, who claimed to be the prophet of God and the last prophet. Manichaeism had a great influence on Sogdia and was introduced to China.

The Tang Dynasty was introduced from Xinjiang to the Hui of Mobei, and prevailed there. In the third year of the Tang Dynasty's Great Calendar (768), at the request of Hui Hui, Mani Temple was established in Jianghuai and other places. When Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Buddhism in the fifth year of Huichang (845), Manichaeism was also severely attacked, and it became a secret religion, and absorbed Taoism and folk beliefs, thus changing its name to Mingjiao.

Because of the belief that the darkness was about to pass and the light was coming, Mingjiao dared to rebel and repeatedly acted against the government. Among the congregations are peasants, talents, officials, soldiers, heroes of the green forest, Jiangyang thieves, and martial arts Junyan. The believers are white-clothed and black-hatted, secretly form a society, and jointly worship the Ming envoy as the god of the church.

When Fangla rebelled, he used Manichaeism to organize the masses and held a huge uprising, which shook the southeast half of the rivers and mountains.

At this time, Manichaeism was notorious as both a rebel organization and a cult.

In the Song Dynasty, there were also two attitudes towards anti-thieves and rogues, thieves like Song Jiang were mainly Zhao'an; Cult organizations like Fang La, on the other hand, are mainly completely eradicated.

Compared with other rogues and thieves, Manichaeism is more tightly organized, more hierarchical, more involved, more rebellious, and more destructive.

"Zhong Xiang, Manichaeism, not to be taken lightly!" Zhao Pu picked up the pen and wanted to write something, but it was difficult to write for a while.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu was a little upset and couldn't help but stand up. Walking back and forth in the main hall, constantly thinking.

After walking back and forth a few times, Zhao Pu's mood gradually calmed down and said; "Yue'er, put this fold in the cabinet!"

"Yes!" Wang Wuyue was slightly surprised, got up and picked up the fold, and finally put it in a cabinet in the study.

In the study, in addition to all the necessary furnishings, there is a large cabinet. This cabinet is divided into more than a dozen compartments, mainly for the storage of important folds. In order to facilitate Zhao Pu's frequent inquiries. After putting it away, Wang Wuyue opened a notebook and began to record the name and placement of this movement.

And Zhao Pu continued to review the chapters.

Finally, the last recital was reviewed, and Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief. Look at the hourglass on the side, it's about half past eleven in the evening.

The day's work is final. That's it.

Zhao Pu began to write a diary. Say it's a diary. It's more about the action plan for each day, what to do at what moment. Before going to bed each day, take stock of what was done and what was left undone. At the end of the day, record the important events of the day, or life insights. Make sure that you don't waste time every day.

In his diary, Zhao Pu wrote: "Manichaeism, the great harm of the country, be cautious! ”

………………

And in the night. In another place, agents of the Jin Army were meeting with the Manichaeans.

"I don't know where you came from, Your Excellency?"

Drinking tea, a man dressed as a scholar asked casually, but the muscles of his body were tense, and the afterglow of his eyes swept the Taoist priest opposite, as long as the situation was slightly worse, he would burst out and hurt people. As a secret agent of the Jin Army, if you want to live well, in addition to being strong and good at observing words and feelings, you must also be cautious.

Prudence makes a ship of ten thousand years, and only prudence can live a nourishing life.

On the opposite side is a Taoist priest, holding floating dust in his hands, fluttering like a fairy, fairy wind and bones, and there is an indescribable charm on his body, but his actual identity is the master of Manichaean incense.

His true identity is unknown to no one except a few people. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the master of Qingfeng and has a lot of friendship with the gentry of Xiangyang.

The Taoist priest spoke: "Uninvited! ”

"Sunrise in the East!"

"It's snowing in the north!"

"The leather business in the north is good!"

"The grain has long been moldy!"

In the face of the code, you and I say a word, and when the last code is finished, the two look at each other and smile.

"Impermanence under the white!" Scholar Dao.

"Under the breeze old road!" Taoist Dao.

"200,000 yuan has been placed outside the city, and it will be withdrawn later!" Bai Wuchang said, "This is the map of the Martial Arts Academy, as well as the staffing!" ”

Qingfeng Lao Dao took it in his hand, looked at the map of the martial arts academy, and said hatefully: "The dog emperor of the Song Dynasty, the common people of fish and meat, there is no good thing, this time it is even more cruel to me and my Manichaean brothers, new hatred and old hatred, how can I forget it!" The hatred of the Holy Father, the hatred of the brothers, will inevitably be repaid by the blood of this emperor! ”

"It's heavily guarded, and even if you succeed in the end, not many of you will survive, so you have to think about it!" Bai Wuchang sneered.

Qingfeng Lao said: "Back then, Tong Guan was a dog thief, killed my Manichaean brothers, the officials and soldiers were evil, the wives were separated, and there were many lonely and widowed people. These dead soldiers are all descendants of the righteous back then, and they have a strong desire to avenge their parents, and they are no longer afraid of life and death! ”

"Shili Pavilion, there are a lot of crossbow arrows and long knives there!" White impermanence.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Without him, you and I have a common enmity with the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you give people, I pay money!" Bai Wuchang's expression was calm, "Three days later, it is the moment when the Martial Arts Academy is officially convened, when the emperor of the Song Dynasty is the most lax, and it is also the best moment to kill him, and the only chance to succeed!" ”

After a few words of simple negotiation, Bai Wuchang got up and said goodbye and left.

"Xiao Wu, follow him, don't be noticed by him, see where he is staying, where is it?" Qingfeng Lao Dao commanded.

At this moment, a man in black nodded, followed closely behind, and disappeared into the night.

Qingfeng Lao Dao drank tea, waited quietly, kept thinking, and kept guessing the origin of this man.

After waiting for a long time, the door opened, and a man in a night suit walked in and said, "Master, I lost it!" ”

"Lost it! This man is not simple! Qingfeng Lao Dao sighed, "Little Wu, what do you say is his identity?" ”

"Doesn't the master know either?"

"This person was introduced by Han Laosan, and he has a lot of business dealings with Han Laosan. Han Laosan was trapped in the government back then, and thanks to his action, he bought Han Laosan's life. According to Han Laosan, this person was a general under the command of the Holy Father, and later the Holy Father died in battle, and this person was incognito. Later, relying on the relationship, he started to buy and sell private salt, and the business was big! Qingfeng said, "It's just that I feel uneasy!" ”

"Could it be that the map of this martial arts academy is fake!"

"Not necessarily!" Qingfeng said, "It's just that I'm uneasy!" ”

"Master, you've thought too much." Xiao Wudao, "Back then, corrupt officials and people were fished and fleshed, and the people of Huashi Gang were not able to make a living. How quickly the Holy Father led us to kill corrupt officials and punish tyrants. It's a pity that Tong Guan, a dead eunuch, led the Western Army to the south, washed my Manichaean sisters in blood, and the blood flowed like a river, how could this revenge not be avenged. Tong Guan died, Song Huizong was captured alive by the Jin army, and the father's debt and son's debt could only be repaid with the blood of this dog emperor! ”

"It's just that I'm upset?" Qingfeng said.

Xiao Wu said excitedly: "Is the master worried about failure? ”

Qingfeng Lao said: "I am over fifty years old, and there is no pity to die. It's just that now, the Jin army invades my mountains and rivers, if we kill this dog emperor, the situation is turbulent, and the Jin army will inevitably take advantage of the situation. ”

Xiao Wu hated and said: "Heaven and earth are furnaces, and creation is work; Yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper. Born in troubled times, born as an ant people, you must have the consciousness of an ant people, and being forced to starve to death by corrupt officials and corrupt officials is death; The officials forced the people to rebel, and they were killed by the officials and soldiers; The Jin army killed, and being killed by the Jin army is also death. It's the same death, there are thousands of ways to die, what's the difference! ”

Qingfeng Lao Dao was silent, in this era, if you want to be an ant people, you can't get it.

Xiao Wu's eyes said feverishly: "If you can assassinate the emperor, it is Jing Ke, Gao and the like, who can not only avenge the Holy Father, but also leave a name in history, why not!" “

"That's it, if you fight all the time, you will also assassinate the king!" Qingfeng Lao Dao's eyes flashed fiercely, "Let the children, do it, don't pee your pants when the time comes!" ”

The storm is coming, and an assassination campaign is slowly brewing. (To be continued......)
