Chapter 19 The Guardian
The story of Houyi and Chang'e Xiong Jing yearned for it when he was a child. In the era of comic strips, he was very sorry to see Chang'e stealing medicine and ascend to the sky. Unexpectedly, the so-called elixir was nothing more than marijuana juice. It was really a big deal! But it was reasonable to calm down and think about this kind of thing. The witches in Chu often tasted poison, because there was no marijuana, so they could only use toxins and shamans. I heard that they also tasted poison.
Xiong Jing thought about the rational side of things. King Qi, who had eaten the elixir of death in Mingtang, was about to die.
The so-called hauma is actually the opposite of the Persian hauma. Hau refers to juice, hauma refers to hemp juice. This is the name of the nomadic tribes of the northern Black Sea in the Persians, namely Saka.hauma-vargà (the Saka people who drink hauma juice; Saka was called "saka" or "saidai" in the Han Dynasty), Saka.tigraxaudà (the Saka people who wear pointed hats), Saka.paradraiga (the Saka people who are on the Black Sea).
Just as Hinduism absorbed the tradition of drinking harsh juice more than a thousand years ago, Zoroastrianism, which was later than Hinduism, also absorbed this tradition of drinking harsh juice. However, Zoroastrian priests had to make three times to drink harsh juice, and they would recite "Asen Fufu" once every time they were interrupted. Now the King of Qi drank the harsh juice in the horn cup in one breath, and his whole body immediately floated. His head was tilted, and his face appeared a strange smile. He walked staggeringly and staggered, and he wanted to hug him when he saw the pillar, but the position of the hug was incorrect, and he was always tilted every time.
His servants and Qi Shi were almost scared to death, and they finally asked Xiong Jing to say: "King! The widow, the widow..."
"The soul of the King of Qi has reached the nine levels of heaven, and you can wake up after a night's sleep." Xiong Jing looked at the King of Qi helplessly. The thought of immortality in Qi is the most important among the countries, and there are the most alchemists in China. There is no reason not to take immortal medicine when you see immortal medicine. He only hopes that the King of Qi will not die after taking immortal medicine, nor will he get addicted. If he gets addicted...
Xiong Jing's eyes naturally turned to Hu Dansozhi's wooden box, which also had hemp seeds in the box, which could be planted. The harvested cannabis can be used instead of toxins for surgery and pain relief for the injured.
"King! King!!" The King of Qi who was floating in the clouds finally hit the wall. The cement wall was extremely hard. He fell to the ground with a "bang". The doctor Yin, who had been on the side, hurried up to check, but fortunately he just fainted.
"Please go to the western room to sleep." Xiong Jing instructed Chang Jiang. When the King of Qi was carried away, he thought of a certain drama and finally explained: "Remember! Go to bed on your side."
"Which." After the people agreed, they hurriedly carried the King of Qi to the western room, and only the historian and Taibu Guanyi were left in the Mingtang.
"I ask the king to ban the teachings of the Hu people." Guan Yi said, worried that the transformation of people will make a comeback.
"What's the use of forbidden?" Xiong Jing thought completely differently from him in response to the same question. "The most important thing to do is to protect Shen."
"Guan Shen?" Guan Yi was confused now, "Why did the king's god guard?"
"Innovate the teachings, teaching systems, and teaching rules." Xiong Jing said.
The inn staff described Huaren very much admired Zodiac. Xiong Jing could probably guess that these people were Zoroastrians, that is, the famous Ming Cult in later generations. The Ming Cult Holy Fire Order came from Persia, and the saint Xiao Zhao. Although these things are fictional, Zoroastrianism does exist. Persian Zoroastrianism spreads the East, India's Buddhism spreads the East, and Arabic Islemianism spreads the East... This makes people think of a question: Why are these religions spread the East but not the West?
He is a Chu native, and he does not want to see that in the future, the Chu people believe in Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Isouran. Assuming that the Chu people can believe in Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Isouran a must, then do they say that they can also convert to Judaism, Christianity, and Catholicism?
He did not believe in the sinicization of Buddhism. The sinicization was only the outer layer and could not change the innate core of Indian culture in Buddhism. And unlike the modern missionaries who dedicated themselves to God, Christianity was actively passed on, and Buddhism was taken from thousands of miles away. The Tang monk's pursuit of scriptures in the West was not an exception. Xiong Jing read a book by a monk who went to India to seek scriptures and then returned to China on a sea boat. The book was not compiled by the author, but the author translated the monk's own records, and then interpreted the part about the sea navigation from a modern sailing perspective. This was also Xiong Jing's original intention of reading this book.
After reading it, he had two impressions of Buddhism: one is that the book says that the heretic Brahman is prosperous, and Buddhism is not worth mentioning. It also mentions that when Tang Monk arrived at a Buddhist holy land, the place had declined for hundreds of years; the other is that when he returned to Guangzhou, he encountered a typhoon on the sea, and the passengers and merchants (Brahman believers) actually thought that "carrying this monk (Buddhist) made me unfavorable and suffered such great suffering. Now the monks are placed by the island and should not make us dangerous for one person's sake."
At that time, he felt that Buddhism was so unpopular in India, and that its status was so low that it was about to be driven off the ship by the Brahmins on the ship to ensure Jili. India did not like Buddhism. In other words, Buddhism suffered failure in the competition with Brahmins and was on the verge of elimination. Since that is the case, why did this monk seek Buddhism that was being eliminated by Indians? Why didn't he seek Brahmins?
Missionary means invasion, which is a bloody war. Religious elimination is mainly because it cannot be defeated. There are many factors that cannot be defeated, but the most critical factor is technology and organization, not doctrine and thought. Under the same technical conditions, Buddhism cannot defeat Brahminism. The most reasonable explanation is that the organization of Buddhism is weaker than Brahmins and cannot draw more strength to compete with Brahmins.
The Chu people have their own religion: spiritual religion. This is still a primitive religion. Its organization is very imperfect. Because the doctrine is also very chaotic, it can only cover one place (mountain gods, river gods), and cannot cover the whole country. It does not have the description of Genesis like Christianity, because it has too many gods.
Xiong Jing once asked the previous Taibu Guanji to reform the doctrine, but later Guanji died. Now Xiong Jing mentioned the doctrine again, Guanyi suddenly looked embarrassed. "Please give me advice, I don't know how to reform the doctrine."
"It's very simple," Xiong Jing never believed in any religion, but he still knew some basic principles. "There is only one true god, and the others are false gods."
"I know, I know!" Guan Yi suddenly opened his head and nodded repeatedly.
The transformation of polytheistic religion to monotheistic religion is a necessity. Just as a king is needed to rule the territory in the world, there must also be a true god in the divine world to control everything. Most of the religions that can be passed down and become stronger in the future are monotheistic religions.
"And..." Xiong Jing wanted to say something else, he suddenly thought that Yue people were united, but the two sides had different beliefs. Chu people worship Taiyi, and Yue people worship Lei Gong. If Taiyi is the true god, then Lei Gong is a false god?
"Summon the Great Elder Song to sleep." Xiong Jing had to summon the Great Elder Song of Xiou to sleep. Religion is also a matter for everyone and must be discussed.
"I think it's not possible." Two years after the Song Dynasty entered Yingdu, his dress was still in Yue-style. He opposed Xiong Jing's suggestions for innovation. "The people of Yue and Chu believe differently. What if the two gods fight each other?"
"If the doctrine is not reformed," Xiong Jing said: "Therefore, when Zoroastrianism came, there were no mountain gods or water gods, the people of the people of the people of the world would believe in other gods. They always had a way to make the people of the world believe in other gods."
"If you believe in the gods of other clans, you can kill them!" Song said loudly, and patted the sword on his waist.
"It's still inappropriate." Even if the Yue people have advanced technology that transcends the times, the leakage of technology is common, and pagan traitors are common. "The Yue people are similar to the Chu people, one tribe, one witch, one county, one god, one country, one god, and one tribe, one god. If you kill the tribe witch, and kill the soldiers who can fight, the remaining people should believe in other religions.
No matter which god the Yue people believe in, they must believe in one god and build an organization. Only in this way can all Yue people be summoned and mobilize all Yue people. Otherwise, how will Yue people who believe in the Jiang God be called in the name of the Zhejiang Water God?”
"Each tribe has gods, and if one god is in charge, each tribe may not be convinced." Xiong Jing bluntly talked about the shortcomings of the polytheistic religion, and Song believed it.
Most witches or priests do not believe in God, but what they do is to make others believe in God. Faith is actually a commodity, and the entire market is full of vicious competition. As partners and shareholders, everyone is talking about business, but from the perspective of believers, they always communicate with God. Xiong Jing is now talking about business of Yue people's faith with Song. He is a great elder. When he reaches this level, he is certainly clear about business and cannot be voluntarily.
"In addition, the Chu people have the gods of Chu people, and the more people have the gods of the more people, how can we get along in the future?" Song Zai said, this was the problem Xiong Jing encountered just now. Different beliefs are easy to have religious wars.
"The witches are still witches, but the gods of worship have changed. Their income is." Xiong Jing looked at Song. The witches are like nobles, and they have never made less money. "...it will not decrease either.
The gods worshipped by the people of Chu and Yue were originally different. Since this is the case, what's wrong with Chu and Yue each believing in one god? Just like the law, Chu people violate the law and Chu people violate the law and Yue people punished the law and Yue people violate the law. It is forbidden that the believers of the two gods are provoked to fight each other."
"This is also feasible?" Guan Yi and Song couldn't believe it, because according to Xiong Jing's definition, pagan gods are all false gods.
"It is natural to be feasible if Chu Yue does not live in one place. Even if you live in one place, it is feasible if you intentionally prohibit it." Xiong Jing said. A country with many faiths exists, and as long as it is properly controlled, there will be no major problems. "There is the doctrine, which should write about the friendship between the ancestors of the Chu people and the Yue people. The witch teaches believers to treat each other well, which will naturally reduce the struggle."
"King, Chu people and Yue people..." A thousand years ago, the Yue people did not live at the same time, so Guan Yi was suddenly in a little difficult.
"Just make up." Religion is a myth, not history. In order for the two tribes to coexist peacefully, it is necessary to make up.
