Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and felt that Zhou Mengyao's method was quite feasible, and it was also the best way to integrate external forces in a short period of time.
Why is Taoism so troubled by secret societies? The key lies in the strong vitality of secret societies, especially among the lower classes, which spread very quickly. If they are not careful, they will turn into a huge organization like the White Lotus Sect.
The Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult can only be regarded as rising stars, and even the Taoist sect itself is an expert in it. There was the Taiping Tao before them, and the Tianshi Sect after them. They were all good at spreading the word, and they swept the world at every turn.
Its root lies in the human heart.
Qi Xuansu had ordered the handling of some secret association incidents, and the final results would definitely be reported to Qi Xuansu, so Qi Xuansu also knew a thing or two.
Especially in Borneo, various secret societies emerged in endlessly, and there was a mixture of dragons and snakes. There were real cults with evil intentions such as Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Cult, and there were also many swindler groups who just cheated money and sex.
In these secret societies, there are many so-called "smart people" who come from good backgrounds, have good family backgrounds, and are even educated, but they all end up falling into them and becoming one of them.
Finally Qi Xuansu discovered a pattern.
When a person is very proud, or even when he is living a normal life, his attitude towards missionary work is basically scornful. But when a person enters a trough, encounters difficulties, is weak, feels uneasy, confused and confused, the weak always want to
Find someone to rely on.
As long as you stand up at this time and offer some comfort and help, or point you in the wrong direction, you can easily gain their trust and recognition.
What follows is a step-by-step approach.
People always have to have some thoughts in life to offset the pain. If there is hope in reality, they will be materialistic. If there is no hope in reality, they will seek comfort in religion.
Now it seems that these villagers have encountered difficulties and need help from others.
If Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao can relieve the villagers' difficulties, then the subsequent missionary work will be much smoother.
After thinking about it, Qi Xuansu said: "Since you want to preach, you must first have doctrines and specific gods. Of course, Taoism's teachings are profound and profound, but whether it can be understood is a problem. And to be fair, Taoism's incitement and attraction are not that great, far less than those of Saints.
Tinghe Buddhism.”
Zhou Mengyao said: "You are talking about today's Taoist sects. In the past, Taoist sects relied on rebellion. If there is no incitement and attraction, why should we rebel? Taiping Taoism is an expert in this aspect and led the Yellow Turban Uprising. We
Let’s just use the ready-made template of Taiping Dao to establish the Taiping Sect.”
"I am the Great Master and the supreme leader of the Taiping Religion. You are the Tiangong General, who controls the military force within the sect and forms the Yellow Turban Army. We regard 'Huang Tian' as the supreme god, preach that the Yellow God created the world, and take the Taiping Sutra as the basis.
I teach the supreme scriptures, and I have the right to interpret them. Our core doctrine is "to bring peace", and we want to build a peaceful world. In this peaceful world, there is no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold, disease, and no fraud and theft. Everyone is free.
dragon."
"When people ask us about our origins, we don't have to hide it. We can simply say that we are from another world and are here to save them. Doesn't the Western Holy Court like to preach about the savior? We can also learn from it. We are
Savior, as long as you believe in our Taiping Religion, even if you die, you can ascend to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and gain eternal life under the protection of our Lord."
"Although he is the only god, the Holy Court also pays attention to saints and apostles, and can also virtualize several other gods. Let me think about it... Now, let's use the name of Li Changgeng. Li Changgeng is the great sage who has attained the Tao.
He is also the teacher of You Ming. If you respond, you will change according to the direction, and if you succeed, you will become hidden and permanent. There is no abiding place, and the permanent essence is not there. ...Wandering around the six voids, teaching and transforming the three realms, transcending the worldly law, and doing the worldly law, there is something to be done.
Nothing should be left unchecked."
"Well... we can add one more thing, Taishang Taoist, 'Huang Tian', Li Changgeng is a trinity. 'Huang Tian' is the incarnation of Taishang Taozu, Li Changgeng is the eldest son and heir of 'Huang Tian', and I am
The second daughter of 'Huang Tian'. I know it's dangerous to be related to 'Huang Tian', but I can't say that Li Changgeng is the son of Taishang Taozu and slander Taozu. Do you still want to ascend? Say 'Huang Tian'
It is the incarnation of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, and I also want to ask for blessings, what if 'Huang Tian' senses the Taishang Taoist Ancestor?"
"If you want to unite the inside, you must establish an external enemy. Ready-made enemies are already there, these bandits. We can say that the reason why people in the world have so much suffering is because of the unkindness of 'Cangtian', so Taishang Daozu separated out 'Huang'
Heaven incarnates to save the world, so "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand, age will be six years old, and the world will be prosperous." And these robbers are believers in "Cang Tian", and their existence is not only a test for us, but also an obstacle to us.
As long as we defeat them and eliminate them, we can build a peaceful world and usher in true happiness."
"In this way, it would be logical to direct the Taiping Religion's goal to eliminate bandits. Don't look at me like this. Of course, eliminating bandits is a good thing, but is it a bad thing? We and these locals each have what we need.
We can look for opportunities to leave here, and they will live and work in peace and contentment without the trouble of bandits, and it will naturally be a peaceful world."
It has to be said that Zhou Mengyao started his career as a member of the "Qing Ping Hui" and was from Taiping Dao, so he came out with his mouth.
The structure of a sect has been initially established.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this cannot be regarded as deception. Zhou Mengyao is originally an immortal, so how can he be said to be pretending to be an immortal? Qi Xuansu knows the real person and is more than enough to be a general.
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "I have no objection, Your Excellency, the Great Sage."
"Very good, I got into the role very quickly." Zhou Mengyao continued, "But just using your mouth won't do it. One of the great tools of Taiping Road back then was to use talisman water and hold a nine-section staff as a talisman to teach patients to kowtow and reflect on their faults.
If one drinks the talisman water and the illness heals on its own, it is said that the person believes in the Tao; if the illness does not heal, it is said that the person does not believe in the Tao."
"It just so happens that I have some scraps here to make talisman water. It won't cure all diseases, but at least it can have some effect. If you drink a bowl of talisman water and you can get through it, that's the belief. If you can't get through it, that's the heart.
Dishonesty, this is enough."
While talking, Zhou Mengyao took out a small bottle from her Xumiwu.
After all, Zhou Mengyao's level of cultivation is still higher than that of Qi Xuansu. It is not that difficult to open the Xumi objects. However, she also encountered the same predicament as Qi Xuansu, that is, most of the items in the Xumi objects cannot be used normally, or they are not available. reaction, or has no effect, and only a small number of items can still be used.
Zhou Mengyao glanced at Qi Xuansu and said half jokingly, half sarcastically: "Thanks to you, I let Jiang Hedao chop off my head. In order to recuperate from my injuries these days, I carry so many elixirs with me. In order to prevent the loss of medicinal properties. , I even set up the ban myself. Nowadays, most of the elixirs cannot be used. I can't even open the ban I set. Fortunately, this small bottle of 'immortality wine' is a leftover material used to prepare medicines, because it is not valuable. So there is no restriction. It is enough to dilute it with water and use it as talisman water."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings. Who can imagine it?"
Zhou Mengyao said: "Now that we have the talisman water, we still need a token. In those days, the Taiping Dao used a nine-section staff as a token. Now this thing is in the hands of the national master. I don't have anything similar, and I also need a copy. "The Book of Peace."
This reminded Qi Xuansu, so he opened the Sumeru object again, endured the pain of anemia, and took out the "Essential Techniques of Taiping" obtained from the Dragon Palace on the Sea, and said: "I don't have the "Sutra of Taiping", "The Essential Techniques of Taiping" Ok?"
Zhou Mengyao took "Taiping Yashu" and took a look at it: "It has the word 'Taiping' in it, so it's pretty much the same, so just use it. It's not for them anyway, just have something like this."
Qi Xuansu said: "Now we have the doctrine, we have the pope, we have the guardian knights, we have the holy scriptures, we have the gods, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Zhou Mengyao pointed to the village: "The key now is how to repel these bandits and take our first step. This step is crucial."
Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and said: "The key is morale. As long as these bandits have emotions and are not zombies, then hitting their morale can make them escape without fighting. You said before that the rules are equal, except that immortals can ignore some According to the rules, most of the cultivation levels can be retained. Others have no cultivation level. At most, they are at our level. These aborigines and bandits will definitely not be exceptions. In this case, showing some miracles, such as flying in the sky, It should be more bluffing if it shines brightly."
Zhou Mengyao pondered for a moment after hearing this: "What you said makes sense, we need to use tricks. This method can not only scare away the enemy bandits, but also win people's hearts, making the villagers fear us and worship us. , kill two birds with one stone.”
Qi Xuansu looked at Zhou Mengyao: "Can you do it?"
Zhou Mengyao shook the cloak on his body: "It's lucky. This cloak can actually fly. I definitely haven't used it before. I just like this style better, so I chose this cloak instead of the one that can make me invisible. , I didn’t expect it to be effective now. However, it consumes a lot of energy. With my current cultivation level, I can only sustain it for one stick of incense.”
As for why Zhou Mengyao didn't fly when she had a fierce fight with Qi Xuansu, it was pointless and she had no long-range attack means. Why fly to the sky? Did she drain her own energy so that Qi Xuansu could win without a fight? And Qi Xuansu
There are also fire guns, can they be used as targets when they fly?
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and decided to hand the fire gun to Zhou Mengyao: "When you fly, you can use the fire gun to pretend to be a 'palm thunder'. This is a miracle."
Zhou Mengyao looked at Qi Xuansu, half-smiling but not smiling: "Are you really willing to lend me this life-saving thing? Aren't you afraid that I'll give you a shot in the back?"
Qi Xuansu said: "First, a shot may not kill me. Second, I... believe you for the time being."
Zhou Mengyao put away his gun and said calmly: "Then I really want to thank you for your trust. Okay, get ready to take action."
