Vision City.
Mi Qi glanced at Luo Fengtang, then lowered her head to think.
Mickey had also vaguely heard of Shivaism.
Shivaism is popular in places where the body is poisoned, and it is said that there are many believers.
However, the place of body poisoning is still far away from Banshu, so what does it have to do with this place?
"You must have heard of the Place of Poison, right?" Luo Fengtang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I've heard that many people in Banzhou have escaped from Shendu, but Shendu is thousands of miles away from here. Logically speaking, the forces over there can't reach here."
Mickey asked doubtfully.
"The Land of Body Poison is torn apart, and there are many large and small forces, but no matter which force, they all believe in sects. Among them, the strongest one with the most followers is Shivaism. This sect is very similar to Buddhism that is common in the Central Plains. The origin, the most primitive origin of Buddhism, also comes from the place of self-poison.”
Luo Fengtang said lightly.
"Buddhism also comes from body poisoning? I have never heard of this."
After all, Mickey is still young and doesn’t understand many things.
"I was poisoned thousands of years ago, but since entering the Middle Earth, the teachings of Buddhism have been revised and changed many times, and they are far from the original ones." Luo Fengtang said.
"Why change the doctrine?" Mickey asked doubtfully.
"What they had to change was not to talk about distant events, but to talk about the previous dynasty, the Southern Dynasty. Taizu of the Southern Dynasty had done something to destroy the Buddha. In the past, after Taizu of the Southern Dynasty started his career, military expenses were tight. At that time, the temple occupied a large amount of fertile land. , the monks also loaned us money, and the temples were very rich, so Taizu of the Southern Dynasties took some military expenses from them."
Luo Fengtang smiled slightly.
"No wonder the monks are so honest now."
Mickey suddenly understood.
The handle of the knife was held in the hands of the imperial court, and the monks were asked to "borrow" it. How could the monks say no?
"Not only the Taizu of the Southern Dynasty, but also the Taizu of this dynasty also destroyed the Wanxiang Temple."
"All major Buddhist temples practice martial arts, and warrior monks are used to protect the temples. Wanxiang Temple was called one of the three major sects in the past because their martial arts reached the pinnacle in the world. But even so, despite the full force of the imperial court, they were still suppressed. Destroy the temple.”
Luo Fengtang said.
Of course, he did not say what price the court paid.
In the past, due to the all-out counterattack by Wanxiang Temple, the imperial court suffered heavy casualties. It is said that Qi Taizu was seriously injured as a result.
"Buddhism is honest now, isn't Shiva still honest?"
Mickey wondered, since the harm of the sect is so obvious, wouldn't the royal family of the country in a poisonous place be vigilant about this?
"In a land of poison, Shivaism is the state religion in many countries. In some countries, kings need to be crowned by Shivaism to ascend to the throne. Some kings are even the local pope themselves, integrating politics and religion..."
"The Shiva Sect and the Southern Witch Sect collude with each other. Their ultimate goal is to enter the Central Plains and change the beliefs of the Central Plains people."
Luo Fengtang said lightly.
The Shiva Sect, the Southern Witch Sect and the Black Lotus Sect are different from the sects that originated from the Southern Tang Dynasty. The first two sects are much more barbaric and terrifying than the Black Lotus Sect. They are a land of poison, a land of South Vietnam, and slaves. The number is much larger than that of ordinary people.
"Is Shivaism scary?" Mickey asked.
"Shivism divides the poisonous people into different castes. In this way, the descendants of the lower class people will be the lower class people from birth, and it is almost impossible to have a chance to turn over... We Central Plains people also have castes, but there is a saying It is also widely circulated, it is called, princes, generals and Xiang Ning have the kind!"
"Historically, there were many people who rose from the bottom. Our Qi Taizu of Da Qi State was born as a cowherd boy."
Luo Fengtang said.
"Then I'm not worried anymore. Those two sects don't have the same ideals as us Central Plains people, so there won't be many people who believe in them..."
Mickey smiled slightly.
"Don't be too optimistic. Beliefs can be forced to change. As long as you use the right method, there is nothing you can't do."
Luo Fengtang suppressed his smile and said solemnly.
"However, that is not what we have to consider. What we have to consider is that this area of Banzhou cannot be controlled by the Shiva Sect and the Southern Witch Sect."
Luo Fengtang added.
"Bozhou Yang Yuanhua has entered a state of destruction. It is not a good time to enter Bozhou now. The Shiva Sect and the Southern Witch Sect are extremely unwise." Mi Qi frowned.
"They have their own ideas... Our imperial court actually only has this many troops. In total, it is less than 30,000 regular soldiers at most. And now is when Yang Yuanhua needs help the most..."
"They took the opportunity to ask for more benefits. As long as they can drive away the tens of thousands of people from the imperial court, the land of Bozhou will become their new missionary place." Luo Fengtang said.
"Why are they so persistent?"
"Both the land of poisonous people and the land of South Vietnam are huge. Isn't it enough for them to survive? After all the effort to enter Banzhou, they obviously paid more than they got."
Mickey frowned.
"There must be something about the land of Banshu that attracts them. This is what I want to find out."
Luo Fengtang stood up, with his hands behind his back, standing at the window, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside.
Vision City is a very prosperous commercial city with a long history and a large number of ancient buildings preserved... It would be a pity for such a city where the old and the new are intertwined to be destroyed by war.
He came here thinking not to start a big war in the city and to preserve Vision City as completely as possible.
"What do we do next?"
Mi Qi said that since she had already reunited with Luo Fengtang, she would follow the command and there was no need to act without authorization.
"What we have to do is to find out the whereabouts of Han Xiezi in Yuanjing City, and see his body alive or dead," Luo Fengtang said.
"I obey orders." Mickey said.
"Follow me to a place and meet someone."
Luo Fengtang said.
…
Mi Qi followed Luo Fengtang and left without saying a word.
They met the man in a restaurant box.
Facing the drunken man, leaning on the soft couch. Mickey couldn't help but touch his nose for the obese man who snored loudly, with a trace of disgust on his face.
"General, this man is so drunk..."
Mickey really didn't like drunk men, especially on such occasions.
"He didn't know we were coming." Luo Fengtang made Mi Qi understand the current situation with just one sentence.
"Are you going to wake him up?"
Mi Qi took a look and saw that this man was all dressed in high-end silk and his face was rosy. At first glance, he was rich or noble.
"Wake up."
"good."
Mickey nodded and stepped forward...
"Pa bang bang..."
Several slaps came down from the front, back, left, and right, and the inner energy penetrated into the body.
The man groaned and began to wake up.
The low-end method of sobering up is to use special pills and other means, while the high-end method of sobering up requires two slaps if one slap is not enough.
When the person was about to wake up, Luo Fengtang briefly talked about the person's identity.
"His name is Nie Xinran, the deputy governor of Yuanjing City. Once something happens to the governor Han Xiezi, he will be the first beneficiary."
