Seeing that Zhou Jun had no more problems, Long Qi asked, "Can you tell me now where the queen Yanqi is?"
Zhou Jun nodded and was about to speak.
Kong You took the lead and said: "The descendants of King Yanqi are now in Chang'an."
Long Qi was stunned: "Chang'an?"
Kong You: "Back then, the palace attendants escorted the prince, starting from Yanqi and heading east, first arriving in Hexi, and then going south to Guanzhong. After so many years, he has settled in Chang'an City."
Long Qi lowered his head and thought.
Taking advantage of this gap, Kong You walked up to Zhou Jun and whispered: "Master, don't be in a hurry to tell the truth. It's just this person's one-sided words at the moment. It's better to know more about the situation and then reveal his identity."
Zhou Jun nodded and said to Long Qi: "Prince Yanqi fled hundreds of years ago, and we only learned of his whereabouts by chance. Now, the descendants of the prince have lived in Chang'an for a long time and have family properties in the city. If they are rashly pulled away,
If I get involved in this matter, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
Long Qi heard this and nodded slowly, indicating that he understood Zhou Jun's words.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the descendants of Prince Yanqi are living and working peacefully in Chang'an. Suddenly someone comes to him and persuades him to go to the Western Regions and recognize his people. A normal person would never agree.
Thinking of this, Long Qi said: "I can't be the master of welcoming back the descendants of King Yanqi. I need to go back to find the clan leader and discuss it with him."
Zhou Jun: "What about Kang Zongchang...?"
Long Qi: "Let that man live a little longer."
Zhou Jun nodded and called the maidservant Zhu to invite the saint to come here to discuss the release of Long Qi.
Tuoba Huaisu entered the side hall, saw Zhou Jun, and said: "For your sake, it is not impossible to let this person go. However, he broke into the temple twice and injured many people in the sect."
, there must be an explanation.”
Before Zhou Jun could speak, Long Qi said in a deep voice: "This is reasonable. What should I do as an apology?"
Tuoba Huaisu, who was wearing a mask, said what he said next, which immediately made the whole room feel cold: "Kill someone for me."
Long Qi frowned: "Who is it?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Go to Daze, Guazhou, enter the Mingpan Ancient Temple, say my name, and someone will naturally tell you what to do."
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, "Aren't you worried that he will break the contract?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "The people of the Dragon Division undertake errands in the Western Regions, either to escort people, to deliver messages, to arrest people, or to hunt down people. The most important thing is to keep their promises. Since he agreed, he will definitely go.
Finish."
Zhou Jun sighed in his heart, he didn't expect the Dragon Division to have such a reputation in the Western Regions.
Tuoba Huaisu said again: "Supervisor Zhou..."
Zhou Jun waved his hand: "Don't call me an official anymore, let's call you Zhou Lang."
Tuoba Huaisu paused, glanced at Kong You, and said, "Mr. Zhou, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and said: "Bohong is not just a bunch of people. He also knows the strategy of the Book of Heaven. If there is anything, just tell him directly."
Tuoba Huaisu: "The manifestation of Yinglong, coupled with the previous Yinglong Heavenly Book, caused many believers in the city to come to the Zoroastrian Temple to ask if it was related to the Zoroastrian God. Sa Bao and the Zoroastrians opened a teaching church in the Zoroastrian Temple.
After clearing up the relationship and saying some comforting words to the believers, their doubts were dispelled."
Hearing this, Zhou Jun couldn't help but ask: "You are a saint of Zoroastrianism. Shouldn't all believers obey your orders?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "In Zoroastrianism, Sabao manages the secular affairs of the religion, and the saint is responsible for channeling spirits and praying to gods. The two have nothing to do with each other. Although on the surface, Sabao respects the saint a lot, but we really need to talk about it.
As for the power within the religion, Sabao is still more powerful."
Zhou Jun understood after hearing this that Zoroastrianism is somewhat similar to the separation of church and state. Sabao is responsible for the administrative arrangements within the church, while the saint serves as the spiritual leader. The two are both connected and separated from each other.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jun asked Tuoba Huaisu: "Who is the Zoroastrian Sabao?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Kang Zongchang, the head of the Kang family."
Zhou Jun was surprised: "It's him again?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "In Liangzhou City, Zoroastrian believers are mainly Sogdians. Among them, the Kang family has a lot of wealth and deep roots. In terms of power, only the An family can barely compete with them. Kang Zongchang respects me very much.
It’s because of the God of Zoroastrianism, but if Yinglong’s affair is exposed, Sabao will definitely attack me.”
After Zhou Jun heard this, he realized that Tuoba Huaisu, as a Zoroastrian saint, was taking great risks to help him.
Tuoba Huaisu added: "In Liangzhou City, although everyone knows about Yinglong's theory, it is just an anecdote after all, and it has not endangered the foundation of Zoroastrianism. However, if there are more conflicts in the future, Kang Zongchang and
You Zhuozheng will definitely get to the bottom of it, and Zhou Lang should be prepared."
Hearing this, Kong You also said to Zhou Jun: "Not only Zoroastrianism, but also the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. If Yinglong's theory becomes popular and the followers of Taoism and Buddhism are divided and cannibalized, the two schools will join forces to kill them.
, they will even mobilize the power of the government to define Yinglong’s theory as a cult and arrest them nationwide.”
Zhou Jun nodded. Yinglong's theory is different from those bluffing religions. The heavenly books it publishes are based on historical books. Therefore, every natural disaster can be predicted. After contact and comparison between believers in the world, I am afraid many people will flock to it.
.For the Taoist and Buddhist families of the Tang Dynasty, this would probably become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
After Long Qi left, October in Liangcheng gradually bottomed out.
Just as Yinglong Tianshu said, from the end of October and back, not a single rain fell within the boundaries of Liangzhou, and the fields were severely drought-stricken, dry and cracked.
Seeing Yinglong's miraculous effect, the Yinglong Hermitage Temple in the city, which was originally only five square meters in size, was rebuilt into a Yinglong Temple covering an area of more than one hundred square meters with the help of believers' crowdfunding.
In the temple, there is a statue of Yinglong with clay body and gold paint. It has two wings and five claws stepping on thunder. It is entrenched in the middle of the temple. There is endless incense every day, and believers are competing to maintain, repair and take care of the temple.
On November 17, Amitabha's birthday, many Buddhist temples in Liangzhou City held commemorative gatherings to chant Dharma and pray for blessings.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the master of Luo Shi Temple lectures on the Dharma, when he reads "When you generate bodhicitta and help all living beings, you will be able to achieve enlightenment and the thirty-two clear signs",
A believer in the audience asked: "I have winter wheat and wild vegetables at home. There has been no rain in Liangzhou City for a month, and the roots and seedlings have withered. Since Amitabha has Bodhicitta and helps many living beings, can I ask Amitabha to send some rain to save Zhuanghe?"
?”
When the master heard this question, he was displeased and just said: "Precious and solemn objects, those who believe in them will receive offerings. There is no need to force them, and they will have their own blessings."
This was said in a smooth manner, as if he said nothing. The believer was unhappy and said: "My family has believed in the Buddha for generations. Half of every income earned will be given to the temple as incense. Now, there is a severe drought in Liangzhou.
Downpour."
The master shook his head and recited another awkward Buddhist verse, which made everyone confused.
Some good people were dissatisfied with the master's dismissal, so they shouted loudly: "It's all said in the heavenly book! Yinglong appeared, there were droughts in autumn and winter, and there was no rain or snow. Could it be that the Buddha, with his boundless power, couldn't defeat the little Yinglong?"
"
When the master heard this, he loudly reprimanded him for being rude.
But the believers in the audience were talking a lot, all they were talking about was the Yinglong Heavenly Book, and some even began to question the guru's words.
Seeing that the situation was overwhelming, the master of Luoshi Temple had no choice but to reassure the believers on the spot: A few days later, the temple would inform the Buddha and ask the monks to read the Great Cloud Sutra in order to pray for rain.
When the believers heard this, they gave up.
Seven days later, the city of Liangzhou was covered with clouds and the wind was blowing wildly.
Seeing that the weather was favorable, the abbot of Luoshi Temple sent twenty-one eminent monks in groups of seven to recite the Dayun Sutra and beg for rain in Liangzhou.
When Buddhists in Liangzhou City heard the news, they rushed to Luoshi Temple to chant sutras together.
The monks in the temple, plus a large number of Buddhist believers, worked together to recite the "Dayun Sutra". After only half an hour, the effect was immediately apparent.
The strong wind gradually subsided, the clouds dispersed, and the sunshine filled the entire Liangzhou city.
When the monks at Luoshi Temple saw this, they were all shocked.
A monk asked the abbot if he should continue begging for rain.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the host was unable to get off the tiger, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "The chanting will not stop until the rain falls."
Therefore, the begging for rain and chanting sutras in Luoshi Temple lasted for five days.
Within five days, some of the twenty-one monks were exhausted and fainted one after another. The number of Buddhist followers who originally accompanied them also became less and less. In the end, only three monks were left, relying on their faith to support themselves.
Last breath.
However, there was still no rain in Liangzhou City, and the temperature was even much higher than when autumn had just begun.
In the end, the abbot of Luo Shi Temple was afraid of causing harm to people, so he had to stop chanting sutras and begging for rain, and closed the temple door tightly. The only way to tell the outside world was that the Buddha refused to rain, and there must be some deeper meaning.
After this came out, the theory of Yinglong became famous. The number of Yinglong believers in Liangzhou City increased greatly. There was a lot of traffic in front of the Yinglong Temple and an endless stream of pilgrims.
