"In fact, in my opinion, although religion is an inevitable cultural phenomenon, the foundation of religion comes from the fragility of human spirit and the need to find sustenance. Therefore, the Pope of the Immortality Sect... should also
He's just a magic stick. The magic stick can actually become the most wise man in the grassland... What are these prairie people thinking?"
Jiang Fan curled his lips and said rather disdainfully.
Zhou He was startled. He looked nervously at the envoys walking in the distance, lowered his voice and shouted: "Are you crazy? I told you that people in the grasslands will go crazy, I'm not exaggerating.
!Even if you really think that the Pope of the Immortality Sect is a magic stick in your heart, you must never say it out loud! Otherwise, once the grassland people hear it, they will fight you desperately!"
With that said, Zhou He pointed to the front of the envoy, his eyes widened, as if Tengger was singing.
Although it was clear that he had exhausted all his strength, he continued with a very small sound from his mouth: "These grassland people are elite soldiers of the Golden Horde. If they fight desperately, it will be a small-scale war! If it really breaks out,
Get up and leave all the envoys here. Even for the sake of his own face, the Great Khan of the Golden Horde will immediately gather all the tribes in the grassland and send troops southward! Do you know the consequences of that!"
"Yes, yes, I know, little prince, don't be afraid. Am I not controlling the volume? I am just talking to the young prince. In front of them, of course I will be respectful to His Majesty the Pope.
Respect."
Jiang Fan said helplessly.
Religion is the most fanatical spiritual guide. Even in our own world, due to various religious reasons, there are countless fanatical believers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for it, let alone in this even more ignorant and ignorant feudal era.
So Jiang Fan was really just chatting with Zhou He.
He was really curious about the Immortality Sect, because he had never heard of it before, so he wanted to learn more about it.
Zhou He looked at Jiang Fan with a wary expression. After confirming that Jiang Fan was not trying to deal with him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said angrily: "The teachings of the Immortality Religion mainly teach the followers to endure pain. The worse the pain is when you are alive, the more blessings you will accumulate for yourself. Only when you die and return to the Immortality Heaven after being buried in the sky can you live forever.
Last forever."
"This is the fundamental reason why the Great Khan of the Golden Horde promoted the Immortality Religion as the state religion. Otherwise, with the barbaric rule of the prairie barbarians, it would be difficult to eliminate the resistance of the lower-class herdsmen and slaves and allow the lower-class herdsmen and slaves to
Just accept it."
"Then what if I can shake the foundation of the Immortality Sect at tonight's dinner?"
Jiang Fan asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do?!"
Zhou He became nervous again.
"It's nothing, just saying it casually. But from what the young prince said, there seems to be nothing special about the Immortality Sect. Compared with other similar sects, it just has a different name."
Jiang Fan said with some disappointment.
"It can't be said that. After all, the Immortality Religion is the state religion of the Golden Tent on the grassland. Every herdsman living on the grassland considers himself a child of the Immortality God. Although it has only been a few decades since its rise to the present, for
For the prairie barbarians, the Immortality Religion is closely related to their lives and is an inseparable part of them."
Zhou He shook his head and continued: "This kind of belief is completely different from ours in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although our Great Zhou Dynasty has sects such as Buddhism and Taoism, there are actually very few people who truly believe in it. But the Immortality Sect is in the Golden Tent on the Grassland.
, but it is everyone's most noble belief. I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to understand the difference."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then nodded silently.
Of course he understands the difference.
If everyone in the entire grassland believed in the Immortality Religion and believed it to be the truth, then the cohesion of the entire grassland would be absolutely terrifying.
This kind of cohesion not only allows the herdsmen and slaves on the grasslands to have stronger endurance, but can also transform into powerful combat effectiveness when a war occurs!
Because for fanatic believers, many times, death is even a pursuit!
On the battlefield of cold weapons, before there is a gap in the equipment between the two sides, whichever side is more fierce and fearless of death will obviously be stronger!
What's more, the grassland people are all herdsmen by birth, and the army is basically dominated by cavalry.
In the age of cold weapons, when cavalry faced infantry, their advantage was so great that it is difficult to describe in words.
If coupled with the spiritual improvement brought by the Immortality Cult, the power of the army that the Prairie Golden Tent can mobilize will indeed be extremely exaggerated.
"My young prince, what is the Immortal Heaven you just mentioned?"
Jiang Fan pondered for a while and then asked.
"The Father God of the Immortality Religion is considered by the Eternal Life Religion to be the creator of this world, which is the sky above our heads. The Eternal Life Religion believes that all living beings in the entire world were created by the Eternal Life Heaven, which is naturally the Eternal Life Heaven.
's children."
"Any other so-called sects are all cults. Only Changshengtian is the only true God. Therefore, everything experienced by Changshengtian's children is seen by Changshengtian. Their father God is always looking after them.
Keeping them. This is why herdsmen on the grasslands carry out sky burials."
"Every grassland man who dies will be thrown on the grassland, waiting for the vultures in the sky to find the body and eat it up. The Immortality Religion believes that vultures are the messengers of the Heaven of Immortality. In this way, the dead are
The child of the Immortal God, brought back to the Father."
Zhou He explained patiently.
"That means that burying it in the ground or directly burning it through cremation is extremely treasonous to the prairie people?"
Jiang Fan continued to ask.
"It depends on the situation. Burial is definitely not possible, but cremation is directly burned. The Immortality Sect also believes that it is okay. Especially in special circumstances, such as a large number of deaths during a war, cremation is the method of centralized burning. The Eternal Life Sect also thinks so.
I think that in this way, we can return to the embrace of God the Father. Because we are fighting for God the Father, saving those who have turned away from the Father, and letting the glory of the Father spread further."
Zhou He explained it in quite detail.
Jiang Fan was quite speechless.
The teachings of the Immortality Cult...are really unethical.
Everything is going in a direction that is beneficial to you. Is there any persistence that you should have?
After all, it’s a religion, so why can’t it be more serious? What kind of childishness is this?
Judging from this situation, if the Prairie Golden Tent really encounters a big crisis, I am afraid that the Immortality Sect will directly modify its teachings, right?
Compared with the religions in my own world, this Immortality Religion really smells like something produced by a small workshop.
