Chapter 117: Spark Alliance
"Huh!"
Lan Min sneered.
"I don't dare have a friend like you!"
"Otherwise, I don't know how I'll die by then!"
"Do you know who you're messing with? Damn it! You've brought trouble to me! ”
Lan Min almost gritted his silver teeth, and hated me to the extreme.
At this time, she regretted her previous actions very much. At that time, it was not because I should have followed the feeling of the blue snake god that he took me upstairs.
Her previous actions are tantamount to telling others that she has a lot to do with me!
In desperation, Lan Min finally told me about the situation of the cultivators.
The so-called practitioners, strictly speaking, are people who have fixed beliefs, have a clear lineage, and are proficient in various special spells.
The origin of these people, in addition to those famous mountains and rivers, temples and Taoist temples, has been passed down for thousands of years.
There are also a large number of folk traditions that have been separated from these large factions but are not recognized by the big factions, as well as a large number of folk inheritances derived from the people.
In the past, the society was relatively chaotic and mixed, whether it was a decent family or a folk inheritance, they were all inherited in their own unique way.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the special environment in China changed the living conditions of cultivators.
Formal denominations are respected by the state, but the vast majority of folk traditions are regarded as feudal superstitions and suffer a near-devastating blow.
Faced with this situation, many well-known and upright practitioners have become active in their minds, wanting to take advantage of these opportunities to establish the so-called three righteous religious belief laws of correct knowledge, right path, and right faith.
Unify the beliefs in the country under the control of the traditional sects, and let all the incense be lit only where they are allowed.
Especially in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the recognized leader of the cultivators, the thousand-year-old family on Longhu Mountain, and the last Heavenly Master who was enshrined, gave those orthodox religious practitioners an opportunity.
This gave many careerists the opportunity to rise and establish the status of leader.
Many people know Zhang Tianshi, but they don't know that there are actually four Heavenly Masters.
In addition to the Zhang Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling that we are familiar with, there are also three Heavenly Masters: Ge Xuan, Sa Shoujian, and Xu Xun.
However, because of the continuous inheritance for thousands of years, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who has practiced Taoism, destroyed his foundation and left the mainland.
This is an excellent opportunity for other descendants of Heavenly Masters to rise.
Among them, Maoshan, who inherited the inheritance of Ge Xuanlingbao's faction, was the most active, and united and encouraged many famous and decent disciples to find various reasons to launch an attack on the folk inheritance.
I want to use this opportunity to establish the prestige of Maoshan and replace the status of Longhu Mountain and become the next Heavenly Master family.
However, although the folk inheritance has gone through a special period, the heavy blow of feudal superstition governance, and the strength has been damaged, but these damages are superficial.
The vast majority of them are those who don't have much real skills themselves, but they use the slogan of the master to swagger and deceive everywhere, and these people are not even folk inheritances at all.
And people who are really capable and powerful have a certain ability to protect themselves, and they have lurked in various opportunities.
And what the Maoshan faction wants to fight is this group of people, the backbone of the folk law religion, the core existence.
Originally, according to the Maoshan faction, these famous factions are powerful and have the support of the state, and they want to eradicate these folk wilderness, but they are not ready to be caught.
However, when the war was really launched, the "Three Positives" alliance was horrified to discover that the hidden power of the original people was incomparably huge.
It's unimaginably big!
What they had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.
The forces that are really hidden beneath the surface of the water are unimaginable to them.
It's just that the power of these folk inheritances is scattered and disorderly.
Therefore, in the early stage of the battle, it was really a heavy loss to those cultivators among the people.
Just when the folk lineage was facing a huge crisis, a person stood up, and he contacted the practitioners of various folk lineages to establish a folk lineage alliance that was opposed to the Three Righteous Sects.
This alliance is called "Xinghuo", which means "gathering into a fire and scattering into a sky full of stars", which is very in line with the characteristics of folk inheritance.
In normal times, these Spark members are scattered all over the world, living separately and even fighting separately.
However, once it is suppressed by the Three Righteous Sects, no matter how big the feud is, it is necessary to put aside grievances and unite with the outside world.
This is the rule that must be sworn to abide by to join Xinghuo, if you violate it, you will be hunted down by the two major organizations of Sanzheng and Xinghuo, and the kind of children and grandchildren will be cut off!
The fierce battle between Starfire and Sanzheng lasted until the end of the last century, when it gradually fell silent.
The great reason for this is that after entering the new century, with the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid changes in culture and thought, people are no longer as full of faith in religion as they were in the past.
On the contrary, it is the inheritance of thousands of years and the culture of the ancestors, which is not so recognized.
Most obviously, there are two aspects: Chinese medicine and national arts.
In the past, Chinese medicine and Chinese kung fu were the two most dazzling essences of the Chinese nation.
In the past, Chinese medicine could cure diseases, and national art could kill people.
But now all of them have been reduced to performances on Douyin and film and television!
Traditional Chinese medicine has also become a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, a large number of liar masters are rampant, and the Chinese people themselves are beginning to disbelieve in themselves.
And whether it is a folk belief or a three-righteous belief, a large number of people have begun to lose the foundation of faith.
After more than half a century of fighting, the two sides suddenly found that the more they competed, the smaller the cake became, and the territory they had grabbed had not disappeared naturally.
At this time, both sides realized that the situation did not seem to be right.
Moreover, at this time, the relevant state departments also began to perceive this antagonism and harm among the people. This kind of private struggle has seriously disrupted social order, disregarded public order, and aroused the dissatisfaction of the departments concerned.
Therefore, the relevant departments strictly ordered the two sides to stand up for fire and not engage in private fighting in any form.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that the two major organizations, Sanzheng and Xinghuo, whose original struggle was fierce, have died down one after another and seized the opportunity to find new opportunities for development.
For the Sanzheng sect, especially for the famous sect like Xiangmaoshan, there are mountain gate industries and tourism resources. Economic development, although the provision of faith has decreased, but the income has become more than ever.
But for folk inheritance, losing the faith of the people, they directly fell into the predicament of life.
In desperation, many practitioners of folk inheritance have also begun to rely on their own skills to find another way out.
For example, like Lan Min, opened a club in a big city. Whether it is life or income, it is better than those old-school craftsmen in the past, who rely on helping people tell fortunes, exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, etc., I don't know how many times.
