"When was this letter sent? Why have you only shown it to me now?" Hai Dongqing asked loudly.
All the religious slaves looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"This is an urgent chicken feather letter. Who picked up the carrier pigeon? Who picked up the letter? Didn't you see the chicken feathers?" Hai Dongqing continued to shout loudly.
"I'm asking you, Zhang Jiaonu, you are responsible for taking back the pigeons and taking out the bamboo tubes. You haven't answered what the Holy Duke has said." A personal tutor shouted at a confused disciple at the foot of the stairs.
The religious slave said in panic: "No... I didn't see the chicken feathers. These are the letters sent from yesterday evening to night. When it got dark yesterday, I planned to send a batch of letters. But they said that the Holy Justice was here.
To 'bless' the congregation and ask the Holy Father to read it tomorrow morning is not a villain's business."
Haidongqing was so angry that the label of the chicken feather letter might have been lost during the flight. Yesterday, because of the beauty of the three girls who were sent to be blessed, Haidongqing couldn't control himself, so he closed the door before it got dark.
While they were struggling, the letter that arrived in the dark must have been blocked. Unexpectedly, such an important message was delayed all night and was not delivered until now.
Although the religious slave may not be responsible at all, how could Hai Dongqing spare him.
"Beat him to death, beat him to death immediately." Hai Dongqing pointed at the slave at the foot of the stairs and shouted sternly.
Several religious slaves swarmed up and pinned the religious slave at the foot of the steps. The religious slave shouted for mercy, but Hai Dongqing ignored him and ordered his men to drag him to a corner and start beating him.
"Immediately summon the guardians from the main altar to go to the temple. Hurry up." Hai Dongqing stood up and quickly went to the lobby called the 'temple'. Because he walked in such a hurry, he almost fell. Fortunately, the religious slave next to him
He stretched out his hand to support him. No one had ever seen the Holy Duke in such a restless state. Everyone realized: something happened, something big happened!
The bells rang rapidly, and the guardians and guardians in the houses around the main altar on the bank of the South Lake came in panic when they heard the sound, and gathered in the temple one after another. When they arrived, they found that the Holy Duke was already sitting in the temple with a solemn face.
On the high seat, everyone felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.
"The Holy Duke is the greatest, shining in the heaven and earth, benefiting all living beings, and the Lord of all things..." Everyone knelt on the ground to salute, and uttered praises.
How could Hai Dongqing have time to listen to this long series of eulogies? He only listened to a few sentences before abruptly interrupting.
"Everyone, get up. We have important matters to discuss."
Everyone stood up in a hurry, and Hai Dongqing quickly recounted the news he had received from Luo Wenyi of Changheng County. The expressions of all the Heavenly Dragon Guardians and Dharma Protectors present at the table changed, and they were terrified.
"It's amazing, something big has happened. The court has taken action."
"What should we do? What is Luo Wenyi doing? It's a waste of time for Shenggong to think highly of him. He won't really want to start an uprising. If he wants to fight against the government, won't it make our Qingjiao fall into a path of no return?"
"Yes, Luo Wenyi didn't get permission from the general forum, so he shouldn't do this."
Hai Dongqing shouted loudly: "Everyone, I need to listen to your judgment. The current situation is unclear, and I need to know the exact news. Did Luo Wenyi take action? What is the situation in Changheng County? All need to be confirmed."
"My subordinates suggested that we should immediately inquire about the news. Not only Changheng County, but also the surrounding Dongming, Weicheng, Fucheng and other tribunals also asked for information. If something happens in Changheng County, it is impossible for them not to know the news.
." A guardian said loudly.
"If they knew, why didn't they report it to the main altar? I'm afraid they were kept in the dark and didn't know anything. Those branches have been fighting with each other recently, so I'm afraid they knew about it but didn't care at all." Another guardian said.
.
"It happened in a hurry. Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't know until dawn. Unless Protector Luo notified them in advance to help. If Protector Luo hadn't done that, they might not have known until now. The news is on the way right now." Another protector said.
road.
"Dragon protector Luo is arrogant and arrogant. He will not inform the surrounding branches. He has eight thousand followers in Changheng County. Even if he takes action, he must think that he is sure. There are only a few hundred officers and soldiers. Do we still need to divide the altars?
Can't help? How could Protector Luo invite others to share the credit?" Someone said in deep thought.
"But Yiluo Dharma Protector is so meticulous that even if he didn't get a response from the main altar, if he had done it himself, there would still be news coming. Flying pigeons can arrive at the main altar in two hours. There is still no news, so what's going on?"
Some people wondered.
Everyone fell silent again. At this moment, there was no sound from the direction of Changheng County. This is definitely not a good thing. It is very worrying.
Hai Dongqing listened for a long time, but his heart sank more and more. He had already judged that Luo Wenyi might have taken action. That meant that things were developing in a direction that he did not want to see. Hai Dongqing and
He was unwilling to fall out with the court at this time, because the opportunity he was waiting for had not yet arrived. Yelu Zongyuan was still fighting the Jurchens, and it would be difficult to get away for a while, so he hoped to maintain harmony with the court as long as possible
.But I’m afraid it’s unlikely now.
After learning that Lin Jue had gone to Changheng County and what happened that day, Hai Dongqing actually understood that some things could no longer be concealed. But this day came too quickly.
Just as they were speaking, two homing pigeons fell from the sky, fluttered and landed next to the dovecot in front of the temple. They flapped their wings and pulled out two pieces of shit.
"Look, look where the news came from." Hai Dongqing shouted.
Meng Xiang rushed over, snatched two carrier pigeons from one of the servants, roughly pulled off the bamboo tubes on their legs, looked at them twice and shouted loudly: "They are the carrier pigeons from Dongming County and Xucheng."
"The news must have arrived." Hai Dongqing said hurriedly: "Bring it quickly."
Meng Xiang hurriedly handed the bamboo tubes to Hai Dongqing's hands. Hai Dongqing obviously couldn't wait any longer. He pressed his palms together, crushed the two bamboo tubes into pieces, and took out two rolls of parchment.
"Last night there was an incident in the Changheng County Branch. There was a fierce battle between the followers of the Changheng County Branch and the officers and soldiers. In the early morning, more than 800 believers fled to our Dongming Branch. According to their reports, the imperial court announced the ban on our Qingjiao and ordered Protector Luo and others to do so.
After surrendering to the government, Protector Luo launched a rebellion among his followers. Four thousand believers were killed and injured, and more than 1,000 escaped, while the rest were captured. Protector Luo was beheaded by the officers and soldiers. His subordinates have been ordered to prepare for the battle and listen respectfully to the Holy Spirit.
Do it happily. If there is any news, report it to the main altar immediately. The Holy Gong is the most great, and Xu Deliang, the master of the Dongming sub-altar, bows down."
"We learned the news in the early morning that the Changheng County branch was surrounded by officers and soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties. Hundreds of officers and soldiers are currently withdrawing from Changheng County and want to return to Beijing via our Xucheng branch. They are expected to arrive under the jurisdiction of our branch in the afternoon.
I still don’t know what the intention is? I respectfully ask the Holy Duke to please you, and what should I do with the altar. I hope God will please you. The Holy Duke is the greatest, and the master of the Xucheng altar, Li Yunqing, bows to me."
After reading the two parchment letters, Hai Dongqing's last trace of luck was gone. It really happened, everything happened. Luo Wenyi took action last night, but the 4,000-strong congregation was beaten to pieces by the officers and soldiers.
Luo Wenyi was also killed. This is really bad news. Hai Dongqing originally thought that if Luo Wenyi took action last night, the officers and soldiers would suffer heavy casualties, but the result was the opposite. Four thousand people were killed by hundreds of officers and soldiers, but he himself
Being killed is simply ridiculous. But now is not the time to discuss victory or defeat, but regardless of victory or defeat last night, the harmony with the court seems to have come to an end. At this moment, either hold your nose and go underground and become a grandson, or you can
We had to take action.
"This Luo Wenyi, he actually took action. Don't you know that being impatient can ruin a big plan? Isn't this a big deal? What a bastard. It's okay if he dies, but the situation is messed up."
"Yes, he is really a bastard. How could he dare to take action without the pleasure of the Holy Father? Now, if he steals the chicken but loses the rice, he will risk the lives of himself and thousands of believers. The court will also take this seriously.
This is an act of attacking the government. Hey, what should we do?"
After learning the news about the division of altars between the two counties, the temple immediately exploded. Some people lamented, some cursed angrily, some frowned in thought, and some were gearing up.
"Shut up!" Hai Dongqing shouted sharply.
Everyone just shut up and remained silent.
"You are still saying this now. Isn't what Luo Wenyi's letter said clear enough? The imperial court sent troops to Changheng County to ban our Qingjiao and ask the members of our Qingjiao to surrender themselves. They declared our Qingjiao to be a heretical sect. This is
It is the imperial court that wants to attack our Qingjiao, not our Qingjiao who takes the initiative to provoke us. Under such circumstances, Protector Luo will fight to the death. Victory or failure is not important. What is important is that Protector Luo’s spirit of safeguarding our religion is the most important thing.
It is valuable. What this sect needs is people like Protector Luo. I announced that I will promote Luo Wenyi to the position of Tianlong Protector. I will set up an altar to take his soul to the Lingxiao Temple to enjoy eternal bliss. The remaining brothers and sisters in the sect who died in the battle are
, I will also personally lead them to the temple to enjoy blessings. If there are those who are good at teaching Luo, I will punish them without mercy."
In just a short moment, Hai Dongqing has made a decision. He cannot be a coward. Even if Yelu Zongyuan may not be able to reconcile with him inside and outside, he will take action. Since the imperial court has announced the ban on the Qing Sect and declared the Qing Sect a cult
, then hiding is impossible, and attacks will follow one after another. Going underground? Then the Qingjiao will lose all its limelight at the moment. Under the attack of the government, the Qingjiao hiding in Tibet is like a thief.
Then not only will it fail to develop and grow, but it will suffer serious losses. If the believers realize that the Qingjiao cannot protect them, and the so-called Holy Duke is just a small player under the oppression of the imperial court, then this castle in the air will be very difficult to build.
It is about to collapse, and their loyalty and fanaticism to the Youth Religion will soon disappear. In this case, the only way to make use of the enthusiasm and ignorance of the believers at this time is to fight to the death, or they can win a new world.
"Preaching the joy of this deity, all local branches immediately organized the believers to arm themselves. They will act in unison at midnight tonight to seize the local government office, kill all the officers and soldiers and seize the city. Meng Xiang, please go and inform Qian Dezhang immediately that Yingtianfu's five thousand troops will be stationed today.
Become the Qing Jiao Guard Army. Any generals and soldiers will be eliminated immediately. After Song Dynasty, you will immediately set off for Xiaoyang Mountain and lead 20,000 guard troops to the main altar. Tonight, gather all the members of Tianfu to swear oaths and officially start.
Matter. All the heavenly dragons protect the teachings and protect the law. From this moment on, our Qing Sect and the imperial court are incompatible. I have received divine instructions. The deadline for the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has come, and our Qing Sect will dominate the world. As the saying goes, Huang Tian should be established. In this dynasty,
If the Qingjiao does not emerge, the world will be in trouble."
"The Holy Duke is the greatest, benevolence to the world. The Holy Duke is mighty and unifies the world." All the guardians and guardians knelt down and shouted, although many of them had doubts and were uneasy. But the Holy Duke had already decided to start an uprising.
Then all we can do is keep our heads down and rush forward.
"Send a message to the Xucheng, Dongming, and Fengqiu branch altars. The officers and soldiers who killed Luo Hujiao and destroyed our Changheng branch altar must not be let go. The Xucheng branch altar is responsible for blocking it, and the Dongming Fengqiu branch altar will lead the congregation to reinforce immediately. It must be
Wipe out all these officers and soldiers to establish prestige for our holy religion." Hai Dongqing waved his hand and ordered.
"Plop la la, plop la la." Several carrier pigeons soared into the sky and headed straight for the western sky with the Holy Duke's order.
"Plop la la, plop la la." More carrier pigeons rose into the sky. They flew in all directions, carrying the Holy Duke's order to announce the uprising to dozens of prefectures and counties.
What these carrier pigeons bring is just an order, but what they will set off is a vigorous wave. It will also completely break the peace within the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing the world to shake and the mountains to collapse.
