"Go away! Someone is going to the West! If you go late, you won't be able to catch up."

"Who goes to the West? Who goes to the West?"

"Xu Hongru is going to the West. As long as I believe in Wusheng's mother, I can go to the West with him! Erdan, why are you still working on? Take your wife to the county town quickly!"

"Let's go, go, go quickly, don't go too late."

At this time, the territory of Yuncheng was in chaos. I saw that on the road, there were farmers with family members. Some were holding cattle and carts, and some carried grain and iron pots, while bringing wives and children. There were more and more farmers on the road, and they hurried to the county town.

Go to the West! How about not hurry?

In the traditional Chinese worldview, there are divided into heaven, human, and ghost worlds. Among them, the life of heaven is the best, and the lifespan of heaven and man is the longest. However, in addition to heaven, there is also the saying of "Western Heaven". The so-called Western Heaven means immortals who jump out of the three realms. When their cultivation reaches the realm of Golden Immortals, they can open up an independent space. Buddhism has arhats corresponding to Golden Immortals, but they are called differently, and they can also create independent spaces. Among these spaces, there are many Buddhist countries, who live a rich and comfortable life, and have plenty of time to preach the scriptures and treatises.

Although the West and the Heaven are different, they are also very attractive to the people. There are always so many pains and tortures in the world, and people dream of being able to go to the Western Paradise as a heaven or to go to the Western Paradise.

In other words, the people cannot tell the difference between heaven and western heaven at all. They always think that there are various benefits to believe in Buddhism, but they do not know that it is two different systems. Many women who are old in the temple will go to temples to recite scriptures, eat vegetarian food, and worship Buddha. It is nothing more than to make the local Yin God rich. It has nothing to do with reincarnation in the next life.

However, this phenomenon is common in China and still exists in the 21st century.

Religion is often deceptive. The incense-smelling sacrificial sacrificial sacred religion that appeared in the late Ming Dynasty and believed in the "Mahayana Buddhism" school, but the practice method uses the Taoist "internal alchemy technique". It has to be said that this is a very special national condition in China. After the convergence of the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, they copied each other. Generally speaking, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism were all copying Taoist things. However, Taoism used Taoism and Confucian things first. So after the Song Dynasty, there was no essential difference between Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.

There is no difference between the Sinxiang Sect and the Five Dogs of Rice (Taoism) that appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty. The power of religion has caused some ambitionists to develop political ambitions. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Five Dogs of Rice Sect occupied Hanzhong to establish a regime. The name of Zhang Lu is well known to people. The one who truly revitalized Taoism was the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling. Before Zhang Daoling revitalized the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, the Five Dogs of Rice Sect was very popular to practice the "Fangzhong Art" and held unobstructed meetings everywhere, which was once extremely decayed.

The difference between incense smelling and Taoism is nothing more than that people's moral qualities in the Eastern Han Dynasty were higher. Therefore, although Taoism had political ambitions, it did a good job in administration. The Tianshi masters killed demons everywhere and eliminated demons and used talismans to cure diseases. Taoism also established a system to organize public welfare activities such as Yi Cang, Yi Xue, and road construction.

Later, the regime of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect was eliminated, but the rulers discovered the educational significance of Taoism and the ability of public welfare organizations, so they incorporated Taoism and became the official legal religion.

When Indian Buddhism was introduced, Buddhism belonged to an "illegal religion" in China and had a fierce competition with Taoism. However, because Taoism was officially incorporated, a large number of folk religious elites could not take office, and Taoism gradually lost its vitality. Buddhism became a "shell resource" for folk religious elites and devoted itself to Buddhism.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism was "slaughtered by Buddha" several times. On the one hand, Buddhism was not an official designated religion. On the other hand, Buddhism was immature at that time, and a large amount of land was annexed, which threatened the rulers under the crazy mission, so Buddha slaughtered several times. A large number of temples were burned and monks were massacred.

But in the end, Taoism, which relies heavily on the official, declined step by step. Buddhism also completed its complete localization after several slaughtering Buddhas and no longer threatened the position of rulers. During the Ming Dynasty, when foreign enemies invaded, Buddhism would send monk soldiers to assist in the war, so Buddhism also became a legal religion.

Not to mention the Western Catholicism, which used religious energy fields to fool European countries, made Europe manage the dark medieval period for thousands of years.

The incense-smelling Buddhism is equivalent to using Taoism and Buddhist things, and then re-branding it to establish its own "religious brand", but it is still under the name of Buddhism, which is equivalent to the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism (Christianity). After having a certain number of believers, they incite believers to rebel and seek political benefits.

Such activities have opened a hole since the White Lotus Sect. The remnants of the White Lotus Sect always jumped out from time to time and hung up again. What are the fragrance-smelling, the Bangmao Sect, the Taoist Sect, the Boxer Rebellion, and the cults that appeared in the north in the 21st century are almost all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

Yuncheng, at this time, it can be said that a group of demons are dancing around.

The entire county town has been captured by the incense teachings. The people in the city are highly excited, and groups of farmers flock to the city from all directions with their families.

There are missionary scenes everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"If you believe in the mother without birth, you can have copper and iron bones, and you can't use swords and guns. You'll see me all." A shirtless man stood in the middle, and the surroundings were filled with farmers who had just entered the city from the countryside. The strong man squatted slightly, stretched out his hands, his muscles tightly, his nose buzzed, and his expression was like constipation. A man holding a watermelon knife next to him, no, the machete had already clasped the handle of the knife tightly, and in full view of everyone, he looked at the strong man with one knife.

Clam!

After the sharp machete slashed at the strong man, it made a sound of golden sound. The strong man didn't even have a seal on his body, and he stood there safely.

A large group of farmers around were all stunned.

Not far away, there were also a group of people. This time the performance was a hand-to-hit oil pan. A charlatan was burning and boiling. A charlatan stretched out his hand and stirred it in the oil pan for more than ten seconds before he lifted his hand. As a result, there was nothing wrong with his hands, which made the onlookers exclaim again.

"Don't believe it. This is all a lie." A voice sounded, and a man dressed in a scholar called out loudly to people.

"Isn't this Zhang Xiucai?"

"What nonsense is it? Wusheng's mother is going to get angry."

The onlookers blamed them one after another. The charlatan in the middle showed a contemptuous smile, walked over, grabbed the scholar's hand, and said viciously: "Since you said this is fake, then you can try it!"

Then, without saying a word, he pulled Zhang Xiucai down the edge of the oil pan, rolled up Zhang Xiucai's sleeve, grabbed Zhang Xiucai's arm and pressed it directly into the oil pan.

Hissing...

"Ah!" Zhang Xiucai screamed, struggled to pull his hand out of the oil pan, and looked at it with a fixed eye. The whole hand was fried beyond recognition.

"I succeed, my hand, ahhhhh!" Zhang Xiucai covered his hand and fell to the ground screaming. The charlatan did not intend to let Zhang Xiucai go, so he pulled Zhang Xiucai up. He raised Zhang Xiucai's arm high and presented it to everyone, and then shouted fiercely: "Look, look, this is the end of slandering Wusheng's mother."

The audience couldn't help but feel terrified, and suddenly they became devout believers one by one. They knelt down on the spot and shouted the name of "No Birthless Old Mother".

No one can figure out why their hands were safe and sound when they reached into the oil pan. Some people like Zhang Xiucai were unable to make up for the situation. Most of them remained silent. Zhang Xiucai, who was the first to stand up, was fried with one hand, and no one dared to stand up.

After a street-style demonstration, the farmers and the people in the market who lacked culture surrendered physically and mentally, and became extremely devout believers, bowing to the statue of the immortal mother and making wishes.

The people in Yuncheng were all crazy.

Xu Hongru sat on a chair and, under the lifting of more than a dozen people, appeared in front of a group of believers. At this time, Xu Hongru was wearing a yellow dragon robe, with a solemn and dignified expression, which was very intimidating.

In less than three days, Yuncheng gathered more than 20,000 people from the sect. While capturing Yuncheng, the army of the Wenxiang Sect began to attack in the direction of Juye.

All the believers of the Scented Incense Sect wore red scarves, held spears and big swords, and got them a lot of muskets and other things. The Shandong government had no preparation at all, and Juye fell two days later.

The Yinxiang Sect, which had captured Juye, immediately launched an attack eastward. Soon, crossed the canal and conquered Zou County. Zheng Yijie, the magistrate of Yintong, fled with his family. Then, the Yinxiang Sect led his troops to Teng County. The magistrate Yao Zhiyin fled in the wind and the sound of the Yinxiang Sect was greatly boosted. The team grew to hundreds of thousands in less than half a month.

The governments along the way were basically all fleeing without any resistance. The Smelling Sect was like a virus spreading, spreading wildly, quickly sweeping across the eastern and western Shandong areas, and the situation quickly became corrosive.

The eastern and western Shandong region is a border area of ​​Shandong, Jiangsu and Henan Province. It is an agricultural area mainly producing commercial cotton, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through this place.

The Smelling Incense Sect has directly cut off the canal, and the canal transportation has stopped directly.

Just when the Scent of Incense was extremely rampant, a cavalry of more than 3,000 people rushed from north to south, rushed straight to Yuncheng.

This cavalry is the Tengxiang Cavalry Division.

Before the Shandong provincial-level units could react, Zhu Youxiao, who was still in the capital, ordered the Tengxiang Cavalry Division to rush to Shandong to suppress the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect without hesitation.

Behind the Tengxiang Cavalry Division, there are three infantry divisions. Zhu Youxiao almost put all the troops he could use on his hands into the Shandong battlefield.

The security of the capital is the responsibility of the nine newly formed infantry divisions.

Before the Tengxiang Cavalry Division arrived in Yuncheng, it encountered a riot army of more than 50,000 people on the way, and the group of riots were about to besiege Chongzhou City to the east.

When these chaotic troops discovered the Tengxiang Cavalry Division, they were obviously not expected. The Tengxiang Cavalry Division had already been prepared to deal with the encounter.

Li Wei observed with a telescope, and the staff around him suggested: "Teacher, there are too many riots on the other side, so it's better to avoid the edge for the time being."

"It's just a group of mobs." Li Wei smiled and put away the telescope, shouting loudly: "Tell me the order, the whole team will prepare to charge."

"Subordinates obey the order."

The Tengxiang Cavalry Division soon completed the entire team on the open plain. With the order, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division started running in an orderly manner.

The speed is getting faster and faster.
