A book was recently published in Liangzhou City, titled "Yinglong Ancient Treatise".
The author of the book is a little-known Buddhist monk, Is.
The writing style is not the difficult and difficult to understand common in religious scriptures, but is close to the narrative of common people.
The whole book is eloquent and has more than ten thousand words, but it only talks about one thing - where did Yinglong come from?
Yisi cited scriptures and selected many allusions and legends from the scriptures of major religions such as Sutra, Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, etc. to explain Yinglong's similar gods in various major religions and their corresponding origins.
At the end of the book, Iss comes to the conclusion that no matter which religious sect he belongs to, there are written records or myths and legends mentioning gods similar to Yinglong.
This means that the existence of Yinglong has been repeatedly witnessed and confirmed in any sect.
As soon as this book came out, the people in Liangzhou City rushed to circulate it.
Firstly, it is because the allusions of various religions recorded in the book are really interesting, and secondly, because believers of any religion can find clues of Yinglong in the allusions of their own sect, thus explaining what happened in Liangzhou City during this period.
strange events.
As for the Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and Zoroastrian temples in Liangzhou City, at first, I didn’t pay much attention to the book "Yinglong Ancient Treatise".
However, some religious leaders soon noticed the mystery.
Yinglong predicted a severe drought in Liangzhou Tianbao for five years. On this matter, many eminent monks and real people tried to compete with him, but they were all defeated in the end.
As for the giant dragon that escapes into the night sky in Liangzhou City at night, the Buddhist and Taoist sects are even more unable to explain it.
As the saying goes, since you can't fight, it's better to bow down and worship.
Incorporating Yinglong's apparition into the scriptures of his own sect to stabilize the emotions of believers, and using Yinglong to promote the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit in the religion, it became the consensus of all major religions in Liangzhou
.
Therefore, the abbots in Buddhism first claimed that Yinglong was the Dragon King Sakara who came to the world to save believers from suffering.
When the real people in the Taoist temple heard this, they immediately cursed, "A bunch of bald donkeys. Yinglong is obviously the Taoist ancestral dragon, the source of all beasts, and has nothing to do with Buddha."
Liangzhou Jingjiao Temple came out again and said that Yinglong was a blazing angel under God, who came to the world only to warn of disasters.
…
As a result, throughout Liangzhou, more than a dozen religious sects, large and small, were quarreling over Yinglong's ownership.
Temples and temples, large and small, set up platforms in the city every day. Monks and Taoists quoted from scriptures and debated scriptures on the same platform, attracting countless people to watch.
Zhou Jun had no time to pay attention to all this. The first thing he did when he returned to his house every day was to start compiling and writing about the natural disasters in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
In the process of organizing and writing, Zhou Jun discovered a trouble - as time went by, some of his past life memories began to become a little blurry.
For example, the natural disasters recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty, some of which caused minor damage, were only mentioned briefly in the history books. When he recalled them now, he found it extremely difficult.
Finally, in order to prevent his memory from deteriorating again and again, he spent more than a month, taking advantage of his still strong brain power, to make a list of major disasters in the next few decades, including those natural disasters that history books have spent a lot of time describing.
I wrote it all down and compiled it into a book.
Zhou Jun handed the booklet into Kong You's hands. After the latter opened it and read it, he didn't recover for a long time.
The several natural disasters recorded in the book, even though they were just a few simple words, were so large in scope, so harmful, and so widespread in their impact that Kong You couldn't help but take a breath.
Zhou Jun said to Kong You: "Keep this book properly. In the future, Yinglong Tianshu will be excerpted from it and sorted out, and then handed over to Yisi for him to arrange."
Kong You first lowered his head and glanced at the book in his hand, and then glanced at Zhou Jun. With fear in his heart, he bowed respectfully and said, "Master, you have a suggestion regarding Yinglong's appearance."
Zhou Jun: "But it doesn't matter."
Kong You: "Previously, Zoroastrianism used illusions to cause Yinglong to appear at night, and the people in the city worshiped him when they saw it... Therefore, when Yisi and Jing disciples spread the Yinglong Book of Heaven, every time they go to a state capital, can they invite Zoroastrian disciples to accompany them?
In this way, before posting the Yinglong Heavenly Book, you can use illusion magic to build momentum, which will yield miraculous results."
After Zhou Jun heard this, he felt that this idea was a good one.
However, Tuoba Huaisu of Zoroastrianism also said that the Zoroastrian art of inviting gods is extremely difficult, and it is not clear whether it can be used casually.
Kong You was ordered to prepare the Yinglong Heavenly Book first. Zhou Jun went to the Zoroastrian Temple that night and found Tuoba Huaisu.
Tuoba Huaisu, dressed in white, knelt before the holy fire and kowtowed, muttering something in his mouth.
Zhou Jun didn't disturb her, just waited quietly.
After the Zoroastrian Fire Ceremony was over, Tuoba Huaisu turned around, and Zhou Jun discovered that the pattern on the mask on his head was not the ordinary sun, moon and stars, but three red blood flowers that he had never seen before.
Tuoba Huaisu saluted Zhou Jun and said, "Long Zhou, long time no see."
Zhou Jun looked her over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "I just made a blood oath to the holy fire."
Zhou Jun: "Blood oath?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "I want to leave Liangzhou and go to Daze to kill a person with my own hands, a person who should be in the grave."
Zhou Jun: "Who?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "My former fellow senior sister."
Zhou Jun looked puzzled: "Why do you want to kill her?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "This is a Zoroastrian matter. Even if I tell you, you won't understand... Originally I was hoping to borrow the help of others, but now it seems that the Holy Fire has given a sign, and I must do it myself."
Hearing this, Zhou Jun reacted: "Wait a minute, the person you asked Long Qi to kill before is your senior sister?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Yes."
Zhou Jun: "Where is the Long Qi man? How is he?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "He is extremely poisonous and is not far from death."
Zhou Jun was anxious after hearing this. He was still counting on Long Qi to bring Yan Qi's old man to him. In this case, wouldn't the clue be broken again?
Zhou Jun: "Where is Long Qi now?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "My people are taking care of him at Mingpan Ancient Temple. I have to get there before he dies and ask what happened."
Zhou Jun paced in place and asked Tuoba Huaisu: "Where is the ancient Mingpan Temple?"
Tuoba Huaisu said: "Guazhou, after leaving Yumen Pass, passing through Hunduo Qi, continue thirty miles."
Seeing that Zhou Jun was deep in thought and silent, Tuoba Huaisu added: "You don't need to worry, Zhou Jun. If Huaisu dies during this trip, the fire girl Siyuna will become the new saint and she will help you."
Zhou Jun stopped and said to Tuoba Huaisu: "The Jin family received the deed for the long journey to Anxi. In a few days, a caravan will set off from Liangzhou to the Western Regions and pass through Guazhou on the way. You can follow
I will go together to see Long Qi."
Tuoba Huaisu was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Just follow what Zhou Lang said."
Zhou Jun thought of business at this time and asked Tuoba Huaisu about Yinglong's Zoroastrianism.
Tuoba Huaisu thought for a while and agreed: "Although the Zoroastrian Art of praying to the gods requires preparing a lot of equipment and materials, after packing the box, it can be loaded into a large cart. If Zhou Erlang needs it, I will order
A fire attendant accompanied the Buddhists to other state capitals to perform the Zoroastrian art of Yinglong's appearance."
Zhou Jun was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Tuoba Huaisu.
