Xu Kingdom, West Sea Outpost, Temporary Palace.

Yang Xu and Tang Yuanqing were sitting under the corridor next to the study.

He is wearing a black robe, with sun and moon patterns on his left and right shoulders, and star patterns around the robe. He is solemn, majestic and sacred.

The style of clothing is similar to the royal robes of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Tang Yuanqing's clothing was simple, wearing an ancient scholar's robe.

It's not that he wanted to wear this, but it had been almost half a year since he came to the West Sea Outpost, and his original clothes were showing signs of wear and tear. He didn't bring any clothes with him, so he could only wear the Xuguo's characteristic clothes.

The two of them sat cross-legged, with a square dwarf eucalyptus placed beside them.

Tea, fruits, and snacks were placed on the dwarf eucalyptus.

There is also a bronze hand holding an incense burner.

The green smoke of birds slowly rises from the incense burner, turning into a silver dragon circling around, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Tang Yuanqing held a tea bowl and talked slowly: "The emergence of religious beliefs is not only because human beings' fear of the unknown is exploited by interested people, but also because of human beings' own spiritual needs."

"The fear of death, the escape from reality, the desire for the future, the pursuit of wealth, power, beauty and other desires."

"It is precisely because of these uncertain factors and the inability to satisfy one's own desires that humans desire to obtain a super power that can change reality, be blessed by this super power, and get help from this super power."

"So, it is not accurate and irresponsible to think that believers have been deceived. A more accurate statement is that believers themselves long for a spiritual sustenance. They may know that the gods they believe in do not exist.

, what they desire cannot be satisfied. Or maybe they really believe that this kind of sustenance can satisfy their desires in some aspects."

"But none of these are actually important. What is important is that the believer's heart is satisfied and he has gained another kind of peace."

“Because there is demand, there is a market.”

Yang Xu picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "Mr. once said that most of the uprisings in the world originated from the uprising groups' dissatisfaction with the current social environment and their desire to change the status quo. For example, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms

The Yellow Turban Uprising during the period, the great uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, etc."

"So any suggestion that these uprisings are attributed to individual leaders is inaccurate."

"It was the people who chose the uprising, not the uprising leaders who decided the uprising. The uprising leaders represented the uprising group, but did not play a decisive role in the cause of the uprising. What really triggered the uprising was the oppression of the insurrectionists by those in power, and

The insurrectionists’ own dissatisfaction with reality.”

"Times create heroes, that's how it is."

Yang Xu paused slightly and continued.

"The emergence of religion is based on a similar principle. People long for some kind of power to change reality and change their own conditions, but they cannot get such power in the reality they can access, so there are countless miracles that have never been shown.

The gods have made countless people who defraud the world and steal the world.”

"The reason is that the emergence of religious beliefs only meets people's needs, so it can be recognized and spread."

Tang Yuanqing smiled.

"Your Majesty's understanding is correct."

"Since ancient times, religion and politics have been like two happy enemies, never getting rid of their influence on each other. However, the emergence and spread of religion are precisely because they comply with public opinion, so they can be widely spread among the people and have a long history."

"For example, heaven and hell."

"The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Eighteen Levels of Hell."

"Become an immortal and fall into reincarnation."

"Different religions have different statements, but these statements have a common core. They provide humans with shelter from the unknown. When people are afraid of death, they will tell people that they can find peace and gain after death.

All the good things that you can’t enjoy while alive.”

"This is the positive side of religious belief."

"Let's not consider whether heaven and hell are true or false, whether the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the eighteen levels of hell exist. The teachings of these religions all highlight the role of guiding people to do good and maintaining the stability of society."

"Perhaps bad things and influences have occurred during this process due to the selfishness of some people, but this does not completely negate the positive significance of religious beliefs."

"Gather people's hearts, place hope, and lead people to do good."

When Tang Yuanqing said this, he paused.

"However, if you want to truly understand the development of religion, you need to analyze it from different eras, different perspectives, and different cultural inheritances."

"In certain periods of history, some people used the name of gods to oppress people, and in the name of faith to persecute others and launch wars. At different times, different religions played different roles and shouldered different historical missions."

"For example, in modern society, some religions have lost their cloak of power and weapons to oppress the people, and their roles have undergone tremendous changes."

"In today's human world, in most circumstances, people choose their own beliefs, rather than beliefs forcing people to believe."

Yang Xu responded with a smile and explained his views.

This is not the first time the two have discussed the issue of religious politics.

Time passed, and at noon, Tang Yuanqing said goodbye and left.

It wasn't until Tang Yuanqing left that Qingqiu Ziyue lay at the door and poked her head to spy on the situation in the study.

The long fox ears sway slightly, which is quite interesting.

"King~~"

After confirming that Yang Xu was the only one in the room, Qingqiu Ziyue lengthened her voice and made a coquettish sound.

She gets a headache every time she sees Tang Yuanqing.

Those theories, history, and religions made her head explode.

Every time she was forced to attend a lecture, Qingqiu Ziyue had the urge to chop off her own head.

It's so uncomfortable.

It was more uncomfortable than when Sun Wukong heard the tightening curse.

Yang Xuxun looked up and said helplessly: "When will you be able to study seriously?"

"Hehe, I think so too, but the sound of those things makes a fox's head explode."

Qingqiu Ziyue jumped into the study room like a child.

Of course, just looking at the figure will definitely not give you the feeling of a child.

The mountains trembled and rippled.

The small waist is full.

The black tights are completely attached to the body and have almost no other effect besides outlining the perfect curves. She is covered with a purple dress with high slits, but Qingqiu Ziyue does not show the proper nobility and dignity.

, but more enchanting and sexy.

Qingqiu Ziyue smiled playfully, not taking it seriously at all.

She doesn't want to study.

It's so uncomfortable.

Coming to Yang Xu's side, Qingqiu Ziyue sat carelessly on Yang Xu's legs. The plump rear lights showed amazing flexibility, challenging the ugliness of human nature.

However, Qingqiu Ziyue seems to be unaware of it, or perhaps does it intentionally.

She smiled, twisted her slim waist, put her jade-like arms around Yang Xu's neck, and said coquettishly: "Wang, I also want to go to the Undersea City. When will I take you to the Undersea City with me?"

Not long after the construction of the Undersea City was completed, Yang Xu took Qingqiu Ziyue to the Undersea City once.

Stayed for a week.

Visited the various layouts and construction of the Undersea City.

Since then, Qingqiu Ziyue has been fascinated by the special construction methods of the Undersea City, and often asked Yang Xu to take her to the Undersea City.

As for going there alone, it is naturally impossible.

How boring it is to be alone.

Yang Xu stroked Qingqiu Ziyue's black silk stockings with one hand, pinched the bridge of her nose with the other, and deliberately said with a straight face: "I know how to play every day, let you do the things you want to do."

"Humph, of course it's done."

"The king doesn't even look at who he is."

"She is the super powerful Ziyue."

Qingqiu Ziyue held her head up triumphantly, but her pretty face had the words "super awesome" written on it.

“Well done.”

Yang Xu smiled with satisfaction and gave Qingqiu Ziyue a passionate kiss as a reward.

During this period, Xuguo developed extremely rapidly.

Six months ago, the Xu Kingdom had a population of only 10,000.

And now, Xu Kingdom has a population of nearly 100,000!

This rate of development is incredible.

Of course, the main reason is that human beings are too powerful!
