Wu Qiudao flew out of Py City and met the woman of unknown origin head on, but his five senses had already discovered that more people were nearby.
These days, more and more practitioners and people from all walks of life are gathering here.
Since Lou Guandao took the place of the Tang royal family to ask for help from people with whom they were friends in the spiritual community, the number of refugees and starving people in the world may not have decreased much, but there are only a handful of large-scale rebel organizations that have set up rebellion flags. With Wu Qiudao's guidance and help,
Pingjun is definitely the leader among them.
"Fellow Taoist Huanyangzi, I wonder who your sect is and what your background is. Why do you want to hang out with these ordinary people and fight against the power of the Tang Dynasty government!" The woman who called herself Fairy Qiong asked with a frown.

Wu Qiudao raised his eyes and saw that although Fairy Qiong was dressed as a Taoist nun, her clothes were splendid and dazzling. Her hands were like bird's claws, and she had a bun on her head. The rest of her hair hung down to her waist. She was sitting on a huge Ganoderma lucidum.
The cap of Ganoderma lucidum is semicircular, with a reddish-brown surface. The thickest part of the cap is about half a meter, and the radius is about five meters. Anyway, it is more than enough for a woman with the figure of Fairy Qiong to sit on it.
The stipe of Ganoderma lucidum is facing downward and is similar in color to the surface of the cap, also reddish-brown, but its surface is covered with wriggling translucent hyphae.
The inner fungus flesh at the junction of the stipe and the cap is milky white, and there are many peach-shaped spores densely growing on the inner fungus flesh. It turns out that what Wu Qiudao just crushed was a spore of Ganoderma lucidum.
The bigger these spores grow, the more transparent their outer shell becomes. The largest one is about the size of a watermelon. You can vaguely see the baby living creatures floating in it. They are vaguely human-shaped and resemble birds and beasts. They are in
The howling and crying in the spores spread through the amniotic fluid and shell into the air, and it was as if there were drums and flutes making music, which made people dizzy.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Wu Qiudao raised his hand and shouted, "Here comes the sword!"
The Seven-Star Five-Yao Sword shot from a distance and delivered itself into the hands of its master.
Wu Qiudao stood upright with an inhuman body like a ghost, holding a divine sword, and stepped in the air, making everyone who saw him tremble and dare not look down upon him.
Even the Taoist nun in gorgeous clothes who delivered a spore bomb as soon as she appeared restrained her arrogant aura, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Fellow Taoist Huanyangzi, there is no need to make such a fuss. Pindao never shouted for beating or killing, just
It's not a favor, just come over and ask."
With a "Puff" sound, someone in the haystack on the ground burst out laughing, causing the two people who were confronting each other in the sky to look over. At this time, the figure disappeared from the haystack again.
well.
Tao De, who was not far away, was a little helpless. Who is this person? Everyone is here to join in the fun. The onlookers should not disturb the two parties. Even he, a Yi from Da Qin, knew that this was the rule of the world!
That's right, this Tao De was not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty in China, but a foreigner from the faraway land west of the sea. In Master Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", it is written as "Fu Nao", which is famous in the Tang Dynasty.
The traveler Du Huan wrote "Fu Fu".
Of course, this is not important, because Todd himself knows that his country should be called the "Roman Empire" and its capital is the new capital Constantinople established by the great Emperor Constantine in the ancient Greek city of "Byzantium"
, for distinction, it can also be written as "Eastern Roman Empire".
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the barbarians who carved up Western Europe occasionally referred to the "Eastern Roman Empire" as the "Byzantine Empire" in order to show off that they were Roman orthodox.
But he is not a translator like Xuanzang, Dao Shi, Huichao, or Du Huan. Whether it is "Eastern Roman Empire", "Byzantine Empire" or "Great Qin", it doesn't matter what he says.
People in the Tang Dynasty called him barbarians and barbarians.
Although Todd is a foreigner, he has a deep connection with China.
In the pre-Qin period, Mo Zhai founded Mohism, which was as famous as Confucianism and became one of the major schools of thought contending. Mo Zhai was also honored as Mozi.
Mozi's eldest disciple was named Qin Huali, and he had a very good relationship with him. He once led the Mohist disciples to help the Song Dynasty, discouraged Lu Ban and the King of Chu from attacking the Song Dynasty, and helped Mozi perform the famous "Mozi saves the country".
Song" story.
Although Mozi's reputation is so great that he is as famous as Confucius, his disciples "fill the world" and are "innumerable". Their popularity is so great that the Confucian Mencius lamented that "Mo Zhai's words fill the world", which is quite "not Confucianism but also Mozi".
trend, but like his predecessor Confucius, no king was willing to implement his doctrines and political opinions until his death.
Like Confucius, the Mohist school split after the death of Mozi. "Han Feizi" records: After the death of Confucius and Mozi, Confucianism was divided into eight and Mohism was divided into three. The values and behaviors respected by each school were different, but they were all the same.
Claims to be "True Kong Mo".
If distinguished according to the different surnames of Juzi, among the three schools of Mohism, "Xiangli's Mohism" went to the Qin State in the West and derived the school of "Western Mohism"; "Xiangfu's Mohism" mainly
He was stationed in Qi State, so he became the so-called "Oriental Ink"; "Deng Ling's Ink" was mostly in Chu State, and was called "Southern Ink".
Most of the Western Mohists in the Qin State were the disciples of Qin Huali, a great disciple of the Mohist School. They focused on pragmatism and opposed the empty talk of the Eastern Mohists. They were extremely dedicated to valuing justice over life. In order to realize their political ideals, they joined the Mohist movement.
Qin’s camp.
King Qin Hui accepted the Western Mo, and with the help of these Mo heroes who fought bravely and valued righteousness, Qin's military strength and technological level have increased to a certain extent, which played an important role in finally realizing the great cause of unifying the six countries.
However, the Qin State respected the Legalist doctrine more. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the new Han Dynasty implemented Huang Lao's theory in the early days. Later, it deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. As a result, these Western scholars who had unified the world were in turmoil.
Lost its foothold in the current situation.
Forced by the difficult political environment, some Mohists went further west to take root in countries in the Western Regions. With Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attack and management of the Western Regions, Mohist doctrine also spread westward along with Dawan and the Xiongnu.
At this time, the Eastern Roman Empire was in the midst of a huge political chaos. The last emperor of the Amorion dynasty, Michael III, was murdered by his cronies, the "Macedonian" Basil, who was unknown to the people. Basil became the new leader of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Emperor, and founded the eighth dynasty of Eastern Rome, the Macedonian Dynasty.
The Macedonian dynasty was founded on conspiracy and assassination, so it was unstable both internally and externally. Although the Black-clothed Dashi was troubled by uprisings of black slaves at the bottom, it still continued to harass the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire. Within the empire, the power of the Great Qin Sect
It also directly threatened the security of the empire.
Amidst the extreme exploitation and oppression of the empire, a branch of the Daqin religion called the "Paulists" emerged. The Paulists opposed the worship of icons and complex rituals, sympathized with the people at the bottom, led many peasant uprisings, and continued for several years.
It reached the peak of its power ten years ago. With its strong military power, it even established an independent country within the Eastern Roman Empire.
Todd was a Pauline priest. After the Paulist Republic was established, he led his believers on the battlefield and became a general. However, all of this was destroyed by the attack of the army led by the Macedonian Emperor Basil himself.
Having lost everything, Tao De gave up his belief in Da Qin Dharma and began to pursue alchemy and demonology. By chance, he came into contact with the Mohist inheritance from the East, and almost immediately devoted himself to this theory that originated from the lower class people.
