Chapter 56: The misunderstanding is getting deeper
Nanban worship gods.
For the people of the Central Plains, when it comes to Nanban, everyone will think of the well-known demon cave "Valley of Ten Thousand Insects", and for the worship of the gods, everyone's thoughts are quite unanimous, thinking that it is nothing more than a group of barbarians, who know how to play with those ugly and disgusting insects all day long.
But in fact, it's just bias.
Perhaps the Nanban itself is still in a very backward stage, but this definitely does not include the worship of the gods, in fact, the level of culture of the worship of the gods is quite high.
It's just that their culture is not the traditional culture of the Central Plains.
It's the same as their name.
Worship God.
The founder of the Worship God Sect was originally only the chief of a tribe in the Nanban, until he strayed into a ruin in the Nanban, and then brought out a golden book with the names of one hundred and eight gods in the book, and after reciting, he could obtain his divine power, and the chief established the God Worship Sect by virtue of this.
After hundreds of years of development, the Worship of God has set up statues for all the 108 names of the gods in the book, and compiled the corresponding myths.
Therefore, the culture of worship was completely extended from that golden book.
During the period, a lot of references were made to some gods and ghosts in the Central Plains.
It can be said that this sect is like a hodgepodge, which has continuously absorbed the knowledge of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and then integrated it into its own god-worshipping culture, and over time, it has formed a very special culture. But because of this, the worship of God itself is extremely xenophobic.
"Those who do not believe in gods are not qualified to rule the Nanban."
The key is that the Central Plains Dynasty has no way to rule the Nanban, and if you want to rule the Nanban, you can only rely on the worship of the gods, or simply flip the table and reshuffle all the Nanban tribes.
The former will only make the God Worship Sect bigger, and finally turn Nanban into a piece of rotten meat on the Central Plains Dynasty.
The cost of the latter is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, after so many years, the problem of the Southern Barbarians has been hanging there, and the same situation is actually the same in the Northern Plains, the East China Sea, and the Western Regions.
Originally, there were alien iron horsemen in the north, and they were always fierce rivals in the Central Plains.
There is Yaowang Temple in the Western Regions, and there is no way to start with the Buddha in ten thousand families.
There is the East China Sea Sword Sect in the East China Sea, and the salt and iron are sold privately, which is also leaky.
Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty of the past dynasties, although nominally said that the world was a guest, but in fact only the Central Plains region really ruled, and the others were all listened to and did not listen to the announcement.
Why does the world always say that there are only a thousand years of family sects, and there is no thousand years of unified dynasty?
To put it bluntly, the truth is very simple.
Responsibilities are different.
The clan clan only needs to be responsible for their one-third of an acre of land, even if their power is prosperous and weak, at least they can continue and not perish.
But the dynasty has advanced and retreated.
If the dynasty is weakened, it must be the whole world attacking in groups, and there are no eggs under the nest, and few royal families in the past dynasties can have a good death. Don't look at Yaowang Temple, the East China Sea Sword Sect, and the Worship God Sect dominate a domain, once they enter the Central Plains, I am afraid that they will lose their own qi.
So why are there so many drawbacks, and there are still countless people who covet this central society?
The answer is also simple.
When the dynasty fell, it was of course the enemy of the world, but when it was strong, it was also the power of one family and one surname to dominate the world. How many sects are there in the family? But it can only be connected together, huddled together for warmth, and can barely make the dynasty jealous, who doesn't want to have such power and power?
So Pei Xunzhen has never been able to understand.
"Why does Da Zhou have to do something to me against the sky?"
"Even if Da Zhou wants to attack the sect realm, then why am I going against the sky? Yaowang Temple, the East China Sea Sword Sect, and the God Worship Sect, which one is not the best choice? ”
"Huh."
Pei Xunzhen crossed the boundary monument in the south of the town, and after entering the Nanban all the way, after seeing the power of the God Worship Sect in the Nanban tribe, he was touched by the scene, and he couldn't help but have a lot of feelings about the contradiction between the Great Zhou and the Anti-Heaven View.
In his opinion, the reason why the anti-heaven view was attacked by the Great Zhou a year later was that the anti-heaven view did not have a talisman of its own.
Yaowang Temple is backed by tens of millions of believers in the Western Regions, behind the East China Sea Sword Sect is countless salt and iron chambers of commerce, the North Plains itself is a foreign race, and the Southern Barbarians still have the belief in the gods and the steep terrain as a basis, but the view against the sky, it is obviously the first major faction in the world, but there is nothing.
...... Well?
Thinking of this, Pei Xunzhen was suddenly stunned: "This kind of thing, haven't the previous masters noticed it?" ”
"It shouldn't be."
"For generations, my Defiance of Heaven has not only rarely communicated with other sects, but also rarely communicated with the people around Fuyun Mountain, nominally concentrating on martial arts, but in fact? Without establishing contacts and influence at all, the leaders of the past generations have not thought about changing the status quo..."
Pei Xunzhen doesn't believe that the heads of the past generations are stupid.
Case
Then the only possibility is not "don't do it", but "can't do it".
"Suppression.... There is no other way to do this with a very subtle repression..... Could it be that the idea of the imperial court to deal with the anti-heavenly view did not only appear from the Heavenly Sage Dynasty, but earlier? Maybe it's Qianxing, maybe it's Taizong, maybe even Taizu!? ”
Pei Xunzhen was shocked by the thoughts that came out of his heart.
If that were the case, then things would be different.
The targeting and suppression that has lasted for a hundred years and spanned three generations shows that the imperial court's obsession with the view against the sky is definitely not something that can be solved by uniting a god worship sect!
"Damn it!" Thinking of this, Pei Xunzhen couldn't help but grit his teeth, this discovery made the pressure in his heart even greater.
How to break the game?
"Either find the reason why the imperial court is so directed against the heavens, and then announce it to the public, or use this to discuss with the imperial court and use negotiation to survive."
"Or...."Pei Xunzhen's eyes showed a few phases of hope.
“.... Achieve the Martial Saint! ”
The peak martial saint formed an army alone, and if the current view of the heavens was to remove the ancestor, I am afraid that the imperial court would be able to completely destroy it if he pulled a forbidden army, but it was precisely because of the ancestor that the imperial court never dared to act rashly, and if the ancestor could go further, then all the problems would naturally be solved.
That's the best way to go.
"But didn't the master think of this? Or is it that the master has been sitting in the pass for nearly a hundred years, and he is trying to find a way to break through? Just never succeeded? ”
A trace of doubt appeared in Pei Xunzhen's heart.
The ancestor who can come up with the identity of the "Ghost King in Green Shirts" to create a mystery and mislead foreign enemies is definitely not a brainless fool.
------ Pei Xunzhen had always thought so before.
But now he is gradually beginning to doubt .... Could it be just my own delusion?
After all, if the ancestor is really so wise, he should not be so head iron that he will sit in the pass for a hundred years and ignore the view against the sky, since the ancestor chooses to do so, he should be sure to achieve the martial saint, but the fact is that the ancestor is still at the peak of the martial saint......
"After you go back this time, you don't want to discuss it with your ancestor again....."
"What are you discussing?"
The sudden spiritual fluctuations in the letter of the head of the family made Pei Xunzhen suddenly startled: "Master! Didn't you go back? ”
"Oh yes." Lu Xingzhou didn't notice the strangeness of Pei Xunzhen's voice at all, and continued: "I just remembered that there was one more thing I forgot to say, Xunzhen, you are in Nanban now, right?" I remember that Nanban should be rich in a lot of rare medicinal materials, can you help me collect a few? ”
Pei Xunzhen nodded hurriedly: "Of course, Master Ancestor, please speak." ”
"I want to think about it... The medicinal materials that Nanban has are mainly Shending green vine, Chaoyang blood sunflower, and Hundred Tribulation Dead Wood, these three kinds. Oh also, if you can, add the Rejuvenating Flower and the Gathering Spirit Bead, these two can be put a little behind, you can find the best, don't worry if you can't find it, just do your best. ”
"Disciple understood."
Pei Xunzhen nodded, firmly remembered the medicinal materials that Lu Xingzhou said, and said again: "I don't know what the use of the ancestor wants these medicinal materials?" ”
"Nothing."
There is nothing to hide from Pei Xunzhen, so Lu Xingzhou said very simply: "The first three are to refine a pill, which can help me break through the peak of the Martial Saint, and the last two are to repay a favor, and the pill prescription of this pill is given by the other party." ”
Pei Xunzhen: "!! ”
I see!
It seems that the master is the same as me.... No, I already understood the way to break the game before me, and I didn't choose to hang myself from a tree in retreat, but found another way to achieve the Martial Saint! I still doubted my ancestor before, it's just too undeserved!
"I understand Shizu!"
"The disciple must do his best to obtain these medicinal materials for the master!"
