Chapter 360: The Power of Faith
The power of faith, a mysterious and mysterious power, a wonderful energy that is not obtained by one's own cultivation.
Before coming to the Battlefield Continent, Tang Xiaobai, as a native of the earth, had also read countless fantasy books, among which there was also a mention of this magical power. It is mostly seen in some fantasy schools of the Western system, but in the Eastern classics, this power also exists, and it is also called incense.
However, in traditional Oriental metaphysics, the power of faith does not exist. The origin of the power of faith is religion, which is the believer's belief in a certain person or something, and religion may use folk culture, difficulty of proselytizing, religious credibility, etc. However, in traditional Chinese religions such as gods, human beings cannot prove "gods", so the power of faith is also an illusory thing.
From a psychological point of view, the power of faith exists, it is a mutual force, it connects believers with God, the two are connected, he gives God the strength to survive, and believers become hope, confidence, courage and other positive emotions through miracles and wishes in their hearts, but this is not the power of faith after all, it remains to be studied.
What is impossible in this battlefield continent? The power of faith, which was already ethereal, seemed so real in this battlefield continent. The angels were already at the top of their evolution when they reached Seraphim, but they were able to continue their mythology through the power of faith.
When Wei Nake said the power of faith, Tang Xiaobai actually had some thoughts of his own. The first thing he thought of was Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang. In Huaxia, Guan Yu is undoubtedly the figure of the Three Kingdoms who has gained the most power of faith after death, he is a representative of loyalty and bravery, whether it is a small restaurant or the headquarters of the underworld, there will always be a second brother town.
Subsequently, Zhuge Liang also had the Wuhou Temple built by his own believers. Of course, the Wuhou Temple was originally the tomb of Liu Bei in the Han Zhaolie Xuande, but later Zhuge Liang died and hid in Mian County, and Liu Chan did not agree to build an ancestral hall for Zhuge Liang in the national capital, on the grounds that Yu Li's rank was inconsistent. In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang's spontaneous sacrifice, the official built an ancestral hall next to the mausoleum in Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province more than 30 years after Zhuge Liang's death. However, at this time, the people thought that this temple was Zhuge Liang's ancestral hall. After the demise of Shu Han, Wuhou Temple was also built in various places.
Until the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chun, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, saw that the incense of Zhaolie Temple was not as good as Wuhou Temple, for the so-called dignity of the king, so he demolished Wuhou Temple and moved Zhuge Liang into the Han Zhaolie Temple, the reason is that Wuhou Temple is close to Huiling, it is not in line with the etiquette system, and it should be one monarch and minister, but despite this, the people have since called this temple Wuhou Temple.
It was destroyed in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to win the hearts of the Han people and restore the characters worshiped by the Han nation, the Wuhou Temple was rebuilt, with Zhuge Liang as the protagonist. Full name: Han Prime Minister Wuhou Temple.
During the Qianlong period, an official thought that it was Liu Bei Temple, called Wuhou Temple, which was mainly anti-guest, so it was changed back: Han Zhaolie Temple.
However, the people did not recognize it, and it was still called Wuhou Temple. In 1961, it was positioned as a key cultural relics protection unit by Huaxia State, and after debate, considering Zhuge Liang's position in the minds of the people, it was finally named: Wuhou Temple.
From this, Tang Xiaobai can see a very important question about the power of faith. Liu Bei's followers are not as large as Zhuge Liang, and the power of faith he has obtained is not as much as Zhuge Liang, so even his own mausoleum can only become Zhuge Liang's ancestral hall in the end.
Liu Bei was Zhuge Liang's king, and Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's minister. Under the power of faith, the relationship between the monarch and the minister seems to have changed the original priority very naturally.
So......
Does this also mean that the god-king is not the only god-king? If there is an angel in the angelic clan who has gained faith more than the power of the god king, will he become the new god king?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaobai shook his head.
In fact, he wants to put a quotation mark on this kind of power. Because it is not one's own power after all, and if there is a large lack of faith, it will lead to a significant decrease in strength. And there are so many angels in the angel family, and there is only one god king, as a god king, she will naturally control how much other people get the power of faith, so that over time, even if there is no god-king dispute, there will be riots because of the power of faith.
The power of faith is not the cornerstone of a stable party, but the source of trouble. Governing the country with religion and faith cannot be done!
This is the true idea in Tang Xiaobai's heart, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, the formulation of national laws and decrees to restrain the behavior of the people, the planning of the country's strategy, all people work together, enrich the people and eliminate difficulties, strengthen quality education, and improve the country's important weapons and technology, this is the way to govern the country!
Of course, religious belief is also a kind of demand of the people at the spiritual level, although it cannot govern the country, it can win the hearts of the people.
"Only Nak Seraph, I have a problem. Why am I the king of a country, worshiped by the people of the world, but I don't feel the power of faith? Tang Xiaobai asked.
Tang Xiaobai asked, Ai Kewei next to him was also slightly stunned, judging from Fang Cai's statement, this power of faith is a magic, and it can bring endless benefits after being used well, she is also the queen of elves and the leader of a force, why doesn't she have it?
Wei Nake was embarrassed by Tang Xiaobai's question, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally just shook his head: "I don't know either." But ......"
Tang Xiaobai looked at him and said, "Go on." ”
Wei Nake nodded and said, "I am fortunate to see the God King use the power of faith, as if there is a round container in her body, which is filled with starlight, and every starlight is the faith of an angel clan. ”
"Hmm~~" Tang Xiaobai thought as he touched his chin.
It is clear that the system of the angelic clan is different from his Three Kingdoms civilization, and the king belongs to the king. According to his memory, it seems that in ancient China, there were many ordinary people who became gods, and there were also many sages who became gods, not to mention the important ministers and fierce generals and demons who became gods in front of the god list. But...... With so many dynasties, it seems that they have not heard of the legend of which emperor of China finally became a god because of his faith?
Why?
Tang Xiaobai couldn't figure it out, is it really like some rumors, the people don't really care who is the emperor, they just need to have a good life, so they don't believe in a certain emperor, but that one throne?
Wrong.
But he was able to vaguely touch a little tail, and overturned his own thoughts, he can be said to be a Ming Jun, it stands to reason that the people should be sincere faith and submission, so if this is the case, he should be able to get the power of faith, but the reality is not.
In this battlefield continent, what kind of conditions can obtain the power of faith?
round vessels, starlight, and the body...... Tang Xiaobai closed his eyes, not thinking about the current problem in his mind, but searching for his own memories, flipping through all the Western illusions he had ever seen, and finally, he locked a word!
Godhead! If there is no Godhead, how can one become a god?
