Chapter 225 Religious Disputes

Seeing that Zhou Jun had no more problems, Long Qi asked, "Can you always tell me where the descendants of Yanqi are?"

Zhou Jun nodded and was about to speak.

Kong You said first: "The descendants of King Yanqi are now in Chang'an."

Long Qi was stunned: "Chang'an?"

Kong You: "At that time, the nearby attendant of the palace escorted the prince, set out from Yanqi, heading east, first arrived in Hexi, and then headed south into Guanzhong. Over the years, he has settled in Chang'an City."

Long Qi lowered his head and thought.

Taking advantage of this gap, Kong You walked to Zhou Jun and whispered: "Master, don't rush to tell the truth. Now it's just a one-sided statement of this person. It's better to know more about the situation and reveal your identity."

Zhou Jun nodded and said to Long Qi: "It has been hundreds of years since the Prince Yanqi fled, and we only found out his whereabouts by chance. Now, the descendants of the prince have lived in Chang'an for a long time and have a family business in the city. If they rashly involve him in this matter, it may cause trouble."

When Long Qi heard this, he nodded slowly, indicating that he could understand Zhou Jun's words.

After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the descendants of Prince Yanqi lived and worked in Chang'an. Suddenly someone found him and advised him to enter the Western Regions to recognize his tribe. If it were a normal person, it would never be possible for him to agree.

Thinking of this, Long Qi said: "I can't make the decision to welcome the descendants of King Yanqi. I need to go back to find the patriarch and discuss with him."

Zhou Jun: "Well, Kang Zongchang..."

Long Qi: "Let that man live longer."

Zhou Jun nodded and called the saint again to invite the saint to come here to discuss the release of Long Qi.

Tuoba Huaisu entered the side hall and saw Zhou Jun. She said, "For your sake, it is not impossible to let this person go. However, he trespassed into the sacred temple twice and injured many people in the church. There must be an explanation."

Before Zhou Jun could speak, Long Qi said in a deep voice: "This is reasonable. As an apology, what should I do?"

Tuoba Huaisu, wearing a mask, said the next thing that immediately made the whole room a little cold: "Help me kill someone."

Long Qi frowned: "Who?"

Tuoba Huaisu: "If you go to the Daze of Guazhou, enter the ancient temple of Mingpan, and say my name, naturally someone will tell you how to do it."

Long Qi took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Long Qi took the mysterious armor and weapons, said goodbye to everyone, and finally left the Zoroastrian temple.

Zhou Jun asked Tuoba Huaisu, "Are you not worried that he will break the contract?"

Tuoba Huaisu: "The people of the Dragon Tribe undertake errands, either protecting the business, sending messages, arresting, or chasing them in the Western Regions. The most important thing is to keep the promise. Since he agreed, he will definitely complete it."

Zhou Jun sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the Dragon Tribe had such a reputation in the Western Regions.

Tuoba Huaisu said again: "Zhoushijian..."

Zhou Jun waved his hand: "Don't call him an official position, just call him Zhou Erlang."

Tuoba Huaisu paused, looked at Kong You, and said, "Zhou Erlang, can you speak with one step?"

Zhou Jun shook his head and said, "Bohong is not an idle person. He is also aware of the strategy of the Heavenly Book. If you have any questions, just say it directly."

Tuoba Huaisu: "Yinglong appeared, and with the previous Yinglong Heavenly Book, many believers in the city came to the Zoroastrian temple to ask if it was related to the Zoroastrian god. Sabao and Zoroastrians opened churches in the Zoroastrian temple, cleared the relationship, and said some comfort to the believers, which dispelled their doubts."

Hearing this, Zhou Jun couldn't help asking: "You are the saint of the Zoroastrian Church. Shouldn't all the believers obey you?"

Tuoba Huaisu: "In the Zoroastrian religion, Sabao manages the secular affairs of the religion, and the saints are responsible for psychics and gods. The two do not do anything to each other. Although on the surface, Sabao respects the saints very much, if it really comes to the power of the religion, Sabao should be even bigger."

Zhou Jun also understood after hearing this. Zoroastrianism is a bit similar to the separation of church and state. Sabao is responsible for the administrative arrangements in the church, and the saint acts as spiritual leaders. The two are both connected and divided.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jun asked Tuoba Huaisu, "Who is Sabao of the Zoroastrian?"

Tuoba Huaisu: "Kang Zongchang, the head of the Kang family."

Zhou Jun was surprised: "It's him again?"

Tuoba Huaisu: "In Liangzhou City, the Zoroastrians were mainly Sogdians. Among them, the Kang family had a lot of wealth and was deeply rooted. Compared with the power, only An family could barely compete with him. Kang Zongchang respected me very much because of the Zoroastrian God, but if Yinglong's affairs were exposed, Sabao would definitely attack me."

Zhou Jun realized after hearing this that Tuoba Huaisu, as a saint of the Zoroastrianism, was taking great risks to help him.

Tuoba Huaisu also said: "In Liangzhou City, although everyone knows the saying of Yinglong, it is just a strange story and has not endangered the root of the Zoroastrianism. However, if there are too many conflicts in the future, Kang Zongchang and all Zoroastrians will definitely follow it to the end, and Zhou Erlang should be prepared."

Hearing this, Kong You also said to Zhou Jun: "It is not only the Zoroastrianism, but also the two schools of worshipping Taoism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. If the Yinglong theory became a climate, the believers of Taoism and Buddhism were divided and eroded, it would definitely lead to the joint strangulation of the two schools, and even the power of the government would be dispatched to define Yinglong theory as a cult and arrested nationwide."

Zhou Jun nodded. Yinglong's theory was different from those terrifying religions. The heavenly books it published were based on historical books, so it was possible to predict that every natural disaster would be exposed after contact and comparison of the believers in the world. This may become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh for the two Taoists in the Tang Dynasty.

After Long Qi left, October in Liangcheng gradually bottomed out.

As Yinglong’s Heavenly Book said, from the end of October and backward, there was no rain in Liangzhou, and the fields were drought and dried up and cracked.

Seeing that Yinglong was effective, the Yinglong Temple, which was originally only a five-square-meter-sized temple in the city, was rebuilt with the crowdfunding of believers, with the Yinglong Temple covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

There is a statue of Yinglong with a mud-worn gold paint in the temple. It has two wings and five claws, lying on the middle of the temple. It has endless incense every day, and believers are fighting to maintain, repair and manage the temple.

On November 17th, Amitabha’s birthday, many Buddhist temples in Liangzhou City held remembrance meetings and praying for blessings.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! When the master of Luoshi Temple preached, he recited "When you develop the Bodhicitta and help all living beings, then you will offer enlightenment and the thirty-two wisdoms", a believer in the audience asked: "There is winter wheat and vegetables at home. There is no rain in Liangzhou City for a month, and the root seedlings wither. Since Amitabha has Bodhicitta and help all living beings, can you ask Amitabha to lower some rain to save Zhuanghe?"

When the master heard this question, he was displeased and said, "There are precious and solemn decorations. Those who believe in it will be offered no need to force it, and they will have their own blessings."

This is smooth, which means that nothing is said. The believer is unhappy and said, "I have been a loyal Buddhist in my family for generations. Every time I have gained half of what I have, I will offer it to the temple as a fire. Now, Liangzhou has a severe drought, and I only want rain."

The master shook his head and recited another difficult Buddhist verse, which made everyone confused.

Someone who is a thug dissatisfied with the master's sloppy eyes, shouted loudly: "It's said in the Book of Heaven! Yinglong appears, and there is drought in autumn and winter, and rain and snow cannot fall. Could it be that the Buddha with endless magic power can't fight against the small Yinglong?"

When the master heard this, he loudly rebuked the rudeness.

But the believers in the audience were talking about Yinglong's Heavenly Book, and some even began to question the master's theory.

Seeing that the scene could not be suppressed, the master of Luoshi Temple had to assure the believers on the spot: a few days later, the temple would inform the Buddha and ask the monk to read the Great Cloud Sutra to ask for the rain.

The believers heard this and then gave up.

Seven days later, Liangzhou City was covered with clouds and strong winds were blowing.

The presiding of Luoshi Temple saw the great time and sent twenty-one eminent monks, seven people in groups to recite the "Dayun Sutra" and beg for rain for Liangzhou.

When the Buddhists in Liangzhou City heard the news, they rushed to Luoshi Temple to recite scriptures together.

The monks in the temple, together with a large number of Buddhist believers, worked together to recite the "Great Cloud Sutra". In just half an hour, the effect immediately appeared.

The strong wind gradually stopped, the clouds dissipated, and the sun shone throughout Liangzhou City.

When the monks in Luoshi Temple saw this, they were all shocked.

A monk went to ask the host if he wanted to continue begging for the rain?

Seeing that more and more onlookers were watching, the host could only grit his teeth and said, "Before the rain fell, he kept reciting scriptures."

So, the chanting of scriptures in Luoshi Temple lasted for five days.

In five days, among the twenty-one monks, some of them were exhausted and fainted. The Buddhist believers who were originally accompanied were also getting fewer and fewer. In the end, only three monks were left with their faith and struggled to support their last breath.

However, there was still rain in Liangzhou city, and the temperature was even much higher than the beginning of autumn.

Finally, the host of Luoshi Temple was worried that someone would die, so he had to stop chanting scriptures and beg for rain, and closed the temple gate. It can only be said that the Buddha refused to rain, which must have a deep meaning.

After this, Yinglong's theory became famous, and the number of believers in Yinglong in Liangzhou City increased greatly. The traffic in front of Yinglong Temple was full of people, and pilgrims were endless.
