"If the real person wants to leave in a hurry, could it be that he is going to quell the rebellion in Bozhou?"
"There have been a lot of things going on in the imperial court recently, including the pacification of various Dharma religions in the south, the conquest of the homeland of the old Tang Dynasty in the north, the surrender of Japanese daimyo in the east, the rebellion in Bozhou in the southwest, the Tantric activities in the northwest, and I heard that the imperial court is still vigorously recruiting those who are good at water...
..”
"Aiming for Luzon?"
This group of priests in the Catholic Church are not secluded in information. Even because Matteo Ricci exists as the bishop of this area today, they have a lot of first-hand information that is difficult for the public to grasp.
They can grasp most of the movements of the Ming Dynasty court, but even spying on this information is not of much use to them. After all, the gap in national power is still here. The Western fleets of this period can't do anything even if they try their best.
There may be a head-on confrontation with the Ming Dynasty.
Although times have changed, they have not changed much. Even after acquiring a large number of Western skills, the firearms here in the Ming Dynasty also began to introduce new ones.
So they can only unite other forces that are beneficial to them.
"You all know a lot of things indeed, and Pindao is indeed going to Bozhou. As for the matter in Luzon, how can Pindao know about it? This is a major military and national matter. How can I, a monk, know about it?"
Ji Xiang made nonsense, and his mind was as clear as a mirror, knowing why these priests were asking about this matter.
Luzon, the old port of the Ming Dynasty, has been abandoned for hundreds of years. It has now become the super base camp of the Franco people in the Far East. From this base camp, missionaries are constantly dispatched to the Ming Dynasty, Japan, Korea, Annan and other regions.
And the colonists, I'm afraid there are a lot of warships and artillery there now.
The Francois don't want to spit out this piece of fat and return it to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty wants to take it by force, then these priests will probably have to quietly send a message there to prepare them for war.
In offshore battles, it is true that the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and Japan all have their own strengths, but if it comes to a battle in the open sea, the Francois, who are good at ocean navigation, are obviously better.
According to the records of the Ming Dynasty's Haizhi, the Franji people had a special kind of warship. When fighting in the open sea, all the guns on the ship fired in unison, and the bullets fell like rain, making them invincible. It was called the "centipede ship".
Now, after decades of maritime trade, several counties in the South China Sea, where the Dharma religion is entrenched, have a large number of firearms and cannons. Excluding some imported from the Francois, there are more.
Others were homemade by the people. Since the first battle with the Francois was in the South China Sea, they later also obtained the method of making these artillery.
Therefore, the Fran cannon may be a weapon that is difficult to copy in other places, but in the South China Sea, small private workshops can even imitate it without any pressure, and the power is not weak.
"Fathers, don't you want to inquire about this news and then check the court's attitude? If the attitude is not good, you will be ready to fight? It shouldn't be like this, right?"
"Even if you really learn this kind of news and pass it on to the Francois in Luzon, do you yourself still expect to survive here?"
While showing off his cards, Ji Xiang warned these priests not to inquire about things, and be careful about their deaths. Although Ricci has won the trust of the emperor, I'm afraid he can't protect you.
The priests were a little panicked for a moment, and many of them looked away. Of course, the young priests were relatively simple, and they all vowed that they would never do such a thing. They came here to preach with good intentions, and in their words,
He tried his best to exonerate the Franco people in Luzon.
"Even Franji comes from a different country. The Ming Dynasty's name for us is too general, and we are the Lord's monks. Although we come from different countries, under the protection of the Lord's halo, we have been relatively separated from our original
The country it belongs to belongs only to the Holy See."
Father Ponty said this with sincerity. The young priest even said:
"Bishop Li has translated many Christian classics, allowing more people to understand our religion. Now I am also planning to follow his example and translate the geographical features and inherent culture of some countries in the west into books, so that people here can
People go and find out.”
Matteo Ricci presented the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map, which indeed marked many countries and translated it in Chinese. However, it has only been more than a year, and this map has not become popular in everyone's hands. After all, before the printing factory
was blown up, and the people of the Ming Dynasty found it troublesome to distinguish the various Western barbarians, so they still uniformly used the name Franconian.
In addition to the famous red-haired fans, the Flying Dutchmen have their own unique characteristics. Most of them like to wear red clothes, and their eyebrows and beards are all red, which makes them easy to remember and excludes them from the ranks of Dutchmen.
Before Ji Xiang left, the priests jointly wrote a letter of recommendation to Ji Xiang. After all, Ji Xiang rubbed his hands with the Holy Light. They took this level of event very seriously. They hoped that Ji Xiang could further understand Catholicism at St. Paul's College.
, in their words, "further education".
"In St. Paul's College, there are many orphans from China who have received the baptism of the Lord. If a real person goes there, it will definitely have a good and positive effect on them. This is a personal statement. The glory of the Lord not only protects believers.
, as long as people understand God’s scriptures and have devout faith, even if they are pagans, the Lord will protect them.”
"This is the Lord's charity."
Father Ponti forced himself to explain, but Ji Xiang grasped the key point in his words:
"Orphans of Middle-earth?"
"Yes, in St. Paul's Church, there are many homeless orphans who were adopted by our missionaries and studied in the college."
Ji Xiang's brows wrinkled slightly.
It sounds like this is a good thing to do.
But before the combination, some secret investigations into St. Paul's College...
"Well, I hope God's power can protect these children and grow up safely."
"The Lord is with you." Father Pontius crossed himself.
.......
Southwest of the earth, Bozhou.
The Yang God incarnation of Zhang Tianshi came here. There were many ruins of villages in the mountains and fields. Yang Yinglong's rebellion caused great commotion here and plundered a large number of people into his own "capital".
"Senior brother said that there is a state of mind here that interferes..."
"I don't feel the breath of immortality."
The Celestial Master saw Yang Yinglong's army appearing in the distance, and there were also monks inside. The Celestial Master transformed into a man with a sharp eye, and saw that one of the monks was actually extracting three souls from people, and immediately gave a pointer.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, turning hundreds of soldiers into charcoal, causing a massive massacre!
The monks all turned their heads, but after seeing the incarnation of Zhang Tianshi, not only did they not run away, one of them laughed and flew up, waving his hands and dancing a black flag with blue patterns.
"Can you do justice to heaven if you know how to use thunder? Where does Xiao Xiu come from and dare to interfere in grandpa's affairs!"
"Soul-killing!"
Several strands of black energy were released from the black flags, and the black energy turned into dark clouds and enveloped the incarnation of the Heavenly Master!
And the monk who flew forward was an innate being, wearing red clothes and plain belt, looking majestic like an ancient god descending, coming before the black energy, laughing wildly:
"The Five Dou Rice Sect's Lost Soul Flag, when the black energy turns, three souls are gone and seven souls disappear, leaving only an empty shell of the body. Those three souls are put into the flag. Even if you are the Celestial Master, you have to carry one here.
Fight! Hahahaha!"
"Going against us means..."
The words have not yet been spoken.
A big hand stretched out from the black energy and grabbed the monk's head, and then a bolt of lightning erupted from the palm!
"Five Dou Rice Cult?"
"Insult the Taoist ancestors and dare to cause chaos in the ancestral land of Taoism?"
The monk's head was blown up by the thunder. The incarnation of the Heavenly Master waved his hand to tear away the black air, and grabbed the fallen soul flag. His eyes widened, thunder clouds surged in the sky, and thunder and lightning roared!
The mountains in all directions trembled violently, and the faces of the monks in red clothes who had been happy just now suddenly changed.
"The Heavenly Master is here to stumble into a fight?"
"Then I'll treat you ignorant rats like you and see the methods of the Heavenly Master!"
The incarnation of the Heavenly Master muttered words, and the clouds and mist in the sky suddenly turned as red as fire!
The situation is changing!
And those lightnings seemed to come alive. The electric light shrouded the sky and descended into the world. A faint electric light appeared on the heads of each of the monks, which seemed to lock them in!
"The elixir of fire clouds in the sky is so powerful that it shakes the universe. It captures the demon energy from above, and cuts down the evil atmosphere from below..."
"The flying lightning flashes, the wind blows unstoppably. Real changes occur, and I pay homage to the emperor!"
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
Taishang Three Cave Divine Curse, Flying Lightning Divine Curse!
All of a sudden, the sky was hundreds of miles away, covered with red clouds, and there was lightning and thunder!
After the indiscriminate bombardment that lasted for half an hour, there were no monks in Zhuyi here anymore, and the people whose souls had been extracted did not die under the protection of the Heavenly Master. They were just the Heavenly Souls among the three souls.
Losing it makes these people look foolish and stupid.
Whether it is the heavenly soul or the earthly soul, if it is lost, it will have a certain impact on the life and spirit. The earthly soul has the least impact, while the heavenly soul is in charge of people's subconsciousness. It is equivalent to when the life soul is resting, the heavenly soul takes care of the body. If the heavenly soul
When the soul is lost, people will be exhausted and appear lost, stupid and dull.
But what worries the incarnation of the Heavenly Master even more is the dress of these monks in red clothes, as well as their methods and self-proclaimed...
Isn't the Five Pecks of Rice Sect the predecessor of Tianshi Dao?
But in the history of Tianshi Dao, there is no existence or group dressed like this in scarlet clothes and white headscarves.
As for the Soul-Reducing Flag, the incarnation of the Heavenly Master doesn't care much about it. We have seen many soul-collecting magic weapons. There is nothing strange about this. Even the Yinshan Sect in the teachings has a bunch of soul-retaining treasures.
The sky gradually darkened.
In the mountains and fields of Shu, thick fog began to appear one after another. In the fog, there were many ghost figures floating up and down, and each of those ghost figures held the Falling Soul Flag in their hands.
And these ghosts are surrounded by three huge black figures with crowns on their heads, like kings. The other ghosts are shouting their names. If the heavenly master heard it, he would be shocked and incredible.
That is the official of heaven, the official of earth, the official of water, and the great emperor of the three officials.
"The ghost official holds the handwriting of the three officials, writing the name of the person, and the intention of persuading the sin. They make three connections, one is to the sky, and the other is to the mountain; the other is to the ground, and the other is to the water."
A golden humanoid phantom reached out and touched the front, and the surrounding fog and the world of mountains and fields were completely wiped out.
All that is an illusion of the future.
"In the ghost city, the things Zhang Xiu left behind are not just the handwritten letters of the three officials... When Yang Yinglong leads out the giant monument..."
"The bones and Yuanshi throne that monk Yuqing once left behind are mine."
"So....."
The golden figure suddenly waved his hand in another direction.
"Heavenly Master on earth, you are not here to investigate the turmoil here."
"It's because of your arrival that there will be turmoil here."
"And you were injured by these monks a long time ago."
A few words fell.
Inversion of cause and effect.
The incarnation of the Heavenly Master maintained a look of astonishment, twisted and disappeared into the human world at that time. It became a part of history and was remembered by everyone who recalled this period of history.
Longhu Mountain, far to the south of the river, suddenly began to tremble violently. At the same time, the Heavenly Master in Shuntian Mansion suddenly had a surge of heart essence and blood in his mouth. He stared in disbelief and felt that his cultivation level was declining.
"One day the state of mind changes the cause and effect!"
