The White Lotus Religion, originally derived from Persian Manichaeism, was founded by the Persian Mani in Babylon in the third century BC, and was later introduced to the countries of the Western Regions along the Silk Road by the nine surnamed Hu people in the Middle East.

Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian extended the first year, the Persians Fu Duo Yuan introduced Manichaeism into the Middle Earth, for a while to be courteous, the establishment of temples, copying classics, Tang Wuzong Huichang first year, the imperial court ordered the expulsion of Manichaeans, prohibiting the spread of Manichaeism among the Han people, Manichaeism from prosperity and decline, turned into civil associations, and the Western Regions Manichaeism lost contact, and later changed its name to Mingjiao, until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan lost its deer, the heroes chased it, Zhu Yuanzhang with the help of Mingjiao forces to pacify all parties, the establishment of the Ming Empire, he knew the power of Mingjiao, ordered the extermination of religion, strictly forbidden, Mingjiao in order to avoid the government's investigation, renamed the White Lotus Religion or Maitreya Religion, pretending to Buddhism, actually preaching the theory of two sects and three worlds, enshrined in the Mani Light Buddha Da Ming Zun.

From Persia to the Western Regions, and then to Middle-earth, through the smoke and clouds of history, Manichaeans tenaciously retained the flame of light in the bloody storm and turbulence!

The ghost king stepped forward, knelt down beside the woman in white, and bowed to the Mani Light Buddha. ”

The woman in white turned her head and looked at the ghost king gently, she looked no more than forty years old, in fact, she had gone through hundreds of years, her complexion was fair, quite unlike the Han people, her facial features were not only marked, but also with a kind of bodhisattva-like compassion, just like Guanyin was in the mortal world, with the appearance of transcendent beings.

"Sanyang doesn't need to blame himself, if he easily enters my sect, but I look down on him, his life is strange, destined to have big twists and turns, I have the heart to let him join the sect, one is to help me teach, and the other is to solve the catastrophe of his fate, but unfortunately the destiny cannot be violated. ”

"Sect Master, is that strange book "Ghost Book" really related to him?"

"The Book of Ghosts has never been reproduced in the world, and it is difficult to understand it. The sect leader stood up and said to the ghost king in a matter-of-fact manner: "There is a big event in the sect, I haven't announced it yet, do you know that King Yiyang Ming suddenly came back yesterday!"

"Ahh

When the Sanyang Ghost King heard it, he was very surprised, the First Yang Ming King, the Second Yang Demon King, and the Three Yang Ghost King, were originally the three protectors of the White Lotus Sect, with high mana, and swore allegiance to the sect leader, decades ago, the righteous path factions besieged the Hidden Fog Mountain, the Eryang Demon King died in battle, and the King of Yiyang Ming was ordered to break through and go to the Western Regions to contact the Gaochang sect, and since then there has been no news, I don't want to return to Middle-earth today.

As soon as the words fell, a man wearing a bearded suit and curly hair and tendrils walked out from behind the Buddha statue, with purple eyebrows, a long face, and an awkward accent, and said slowly: "Sanyang Ghost King, I haven't seen you for many years!"

"Ah, it's really you, big brother!"

The two brothers of life and death saw each other, full of emotion, a lot of regrets, Sanyang Ghost King asked about the past of many years, Yiyang Ming King sighed and said: "I crossed the sea by boat through Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian Province the month before yesterday, and wandered in a foreign land for several years, and now I have returned to Middle Earth, I arrived here yesterday, and I haven't had time to pay a detailed tribute to the sect master, these years are really bumpy, that year I left Zhejiang Yinwu Mountain, all the way away, all the people I brought died, I came to the Western Regions alone, looking for Gaochang Huifu, how do you know——"

The sect leader's soft face was suddenly covered with a shadow, his thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, he didn't know what bad news he was about to hear, and the Sanyang Ghost King also expected that things were not good, so he held his breath and waited for the Yiyang Ming King to continue.

"Who knows, at the beginning of the founding of the Gaochang Hui Dynasty, my Manichaeism was regarded as the state religion by Mu Yu Khan, very prominent, preaching everywhere, but the good times did not last long, Mu Yu Khan was killed by the usurper, the new Khan Dun Mohe hated Manichaeism, wantonly killed the congregation, destroyed the religious scriptures, not only Gaochang, the countries of the Western Regions, Mobei, Qiuzi, are all the same, Manichaeism in the Western Regions, is now extinct. ”

When the sect leader heard this, he fell down, King Yiyang Ming and Sanyang Ghost King hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, the sect leader had tears in his eyes, and sobbed: "Since the founding of my sect, my fate has been many and has gone through twists and turns, I was originally the princess of Sumo who returned to Gaochang, and after joining the sect, I did not hesitate to take my life, came to Middle-earth, and struggled for several years, do I have to end up with the death of the sect?"

The Sanyang Ghost King was unwilling, and persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, the current southeastern provinces, disasters and famines, and the people's instability are unstable, it is a good time to do great things, and we also have the King of Qiantang as the backing, he has always supported us, as long as we can gather strength, less will protect ourselves, more will cause trouble, instead of seeking the protection of the emperor, it is better to establish a bright kingdom of Manichaeism!"

King Yiyang Ming took out a parchment book from his bosom and said: "Sanyang is right, sect master, I went to the Western Regions, not for nothing, I got a Persian canon under the ancient city of Gaochang, which is the handwriting of the first generation of Muja who entered the Western Regions from Persia to preach, and records in detail the Manichaean "Teaching and Rituals", including the specific date and sacrificial ceremony of the birth of the Buddha's mother, according to my calculations, within a few months!"

Mu Ja is the highest spokesperson of Manichaeism in the East, the birth of the Buddha into the Middle Earth is one of them, the status of the Buddha Mother in the White Lotus Sect is second only to the Great Ming Zun Mani Light Buddha, is the mother goddess who gave birth to the gods, the Buddha Mother came into the world, it can attract the light messenger, the light messenger is the incarnation of the sun and the moon, can destroy all demons, replace the darkness with light, and finally usher in the birth of the Great Ming Zun.

The Sect Master understood that this was the only chance, and that the survival of the whole Sect was at stake, and asked with concern, "What do you need to prepare?"

Yiyang opened the parchment, pointed to a page, and read: "When the Buddha mother was born, it is advisable to burn the fire in the sky on the night of the full moon, sacrifice to Mingzun, and lead the Buddha mother to the world with the heavenly evil girl." ”

"Tiansha Girl?" "The Sanyang Ghost King hesitated a little and said: "Tianluan is lonely, she has no relatives in her life, there is no one in ten thousand such a woman, how to find it?"

King Yiyang Ming smiled: "It's not difficult, Mu Yan already has a way to deal with it." He took out a jade bead from the Western Regions from his bosom, the size of a hand, engraved with a circle of Persian, and then said: "This jade ball is what I obtained in Persia, it is a relic of Mingzun, named Zhaoren Dan, and the Tiansha Girl will turn red when she holds it, and you can find the Tiansha Girl from 10,000 people with a little tricking." ”

The sect leader took the parchment scroll, and after opening it, he saw that the parchment was full of dense Persian script, and there were many annotations of the king of Yiyang Ming, and then looked at the Dan of the people, took a deep breath, and said: "I teach the people of the world, but the people of the world bear my teaching, the king of Yiyang Ming, the ghost king of Sanyang, pass the order, the White Lotus Sect is on guard, and prepare to welcome the birth of the Buddha Mother!
