Chapter 57 Manichaeism

"Manichaeism has existed for a long time. Tracing back to its origin, it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it was extremely prosperous later, attracting a large number of people to join the religion. Later, because Manichaeism bewitched the people and endangered the country, it was ordered to be exterminated. Manichaeism Since then, his vitality has been severely damaged, and he rarely appeared in public, but he has not stopped since then. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Manichaeism will appear once in a while, and every time it appears, it will cause chaos. The shadow of a nun." Xu Ji said eloquently.

"That's right, after the Five Dynasties Liang Dong Yi rebelled under the banner of Mo Ni." Chen Yaozuo said.

"What does the priest mean... the Manichaeism is going to come out to make trouble again this time?" Li Ce said.

"This is exactly what the Pindao Institute has been investigating. Half a year ago, my disciples discovered that there were many people dressed in white clothes and black hats in Huainan Road. They preached everywhere. They seemed to be members of a certain sect. The people who originally believed in my religion They were also lost in large numbers. Pindao sent his disciples to investigate and unannounced and finally found out that it was the Manichaeism. The people who were bewitched by the Manichaeism somehow were willing to donate their family wealth as tuition fees. That’s all. , was attacked and persecuted, and finally ruined the family, and the government even investigated it, but the Manichaeism is extremely secretive, and every time it does evil, it does not leave the slightest trace, and the government has no evidence, and finally it is nothing." With a sigh.

Li Ce thought: "It turns out that Maozong was robbed of the business by the Manichaeism, no wonder this old man is willing to go out in person."

"It turns out that, forming an association privately, bewitching the people, and amassing wealth, there must be a plan! Huainan Road has become such a mess, doesn't the Huainan Road Manager not know about it?" Chen Yaozuo frowned, he naturally came from the court. consider the problem from a perspective.

"The government has also come forward to investigate. Ordinary congregants don't know where the teaching altar is, and they can't ask useful clues. Pindao also sent disciples to inquire, and finally got clues, but they met the masters of Manichaeism. Of the eight disciples, only one fled back to Maoshan with his last breath, and died before he could give any clues. This was a deliberate demonstration by the Manichaeism to Maozong. My Maozong has gone through 500 years, how can I be afraid of it!

Manichaeism has done many injustices, and killed my Maoshan disciple. The poor Taoist will not let him go, so the disciples of the sect began to thoroughly investigate the details of Manichaeism. Not long ago, it was discovered that a large number of Manichaeism masters flowed to the north.Pindao knew that they must have something in mind, so he followed up with his disciples, wanting to find out. The Manichaeism also felt it, and began to evacuate the congregants, infiltrating in batches, but Pindao Maoshan didn't have enough manpower, so they came It's a little late. After Xu Ji finished speaking, he looked at the dead and injured people outside the tent in pity, shook his head and sighed.

"So the Taoist priest has found out?" Li Ce asked.

"It's not clear yet, but there are clues. The disciples discovered that the Manichaeism had private contacts with the Liao people." Xu Ji said.

"How dare the Manichaeism collude with the Liao people?" Chen Yaozuo said solemnly, "Hmph, colluding with the Liao people and harming the people of the Song Dynasty, damn it!" His face suddenly changed, "No! The Zhending Mansion is in trouble!"

After being reminded by Chen Yaozuo, Li Ce immediately realized that the Manichaeism dared to attack the officers and soldiers so boldly tonight. Zhendingfu!But how did they know that Chen Yaozuo was not in Zhending Mansion because of the flood in Yizhou?It is really vicious that the Liao people chose to invade at this time!
"Come on, immediately send out scouts to inquire about the news of Zhending Mansion!" Chen Yaozuo urgently ordered, "Immediately light up the beacon fire to warn! All post station soldiers are dispatched to notify all the gates to beware of Liao people's invasion!"

"The sky has already begun to dawn, don't wait, immediately assemble the army and rush to Zhending Mansion immediately!" After Chen Yaozuo issued a series of general orders, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought that Zhending Mansion might also be attacked. He is very clear about the virtues of the Supervising Army. If there is a mistake in the Zhending Mansion, the entire Central Plains will be in danger!
"However, what if the Manichaeism goes and returns?" Li Ce asked worriedly. Everyone became worried when he said this. The Manichaeism we saw tonight is extremely powerful. If a large army withdraws, If they come back again, it will be like a tiger running into a herd, and no one can stop them.

"Based on Pindao's understanding of them, the Manichaeism has always acted cautiously. Since it has been exposed tonight, they must be rushing back to evacuate and hide at this moment. How can they still have time to disturb? Even if they dare to come back, the poor Taoist Maoshan Quite a few disciples have already arrived in Yizhou, and the poor Taoist will not just sit back and watch them do evil." Xu Ji said calmly.

"Well, the Taoist priest is right, so there will be Taoist priest Lao, Li Ce, you lead your troops to stay guarding, don't take it lightly!" Chen Yaozuo's tone was unusually serious.

After seeing Li Ce nodding, Chen Yaozuo raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers follow me to help Zhending Mansion!"

It's really a blessing, misfortunes never come singly, natural disasters and man-made disasters follow one after another, if one thing is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable!Li Ce looked at the back of the army going away and sighed.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Liu Tingzhu asked, panting heavily.Just now he showed bravery and fought the enemy with blood and blood. Li Ce saw in his eyes that although such a soldier is a bit thorny, he should charge at the critical moment and fight bloody battles, but he is unambiguous. Li Ce's respect.

"Okay, Liu Dutou, you performed well just now, are you injured?" Li Ce didn't answer, but asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, it's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." Liu Tingzhu was a little excited, and the first thing Li Ce asked was whether he was injured.

"Well, good, first rescue the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and help the people settle down. In addition, the group sent scouts to inquire about the news, beware of the men in black leaving and returning, and inquire about the battle situation in Zhending Mansion. Report once every half an hour!"

"The humble official takes the order!" Liu Tingzhu took the order and left.

"The little general is really kind-hearted." Xu Ji stepped forward, looking at Li Cedao with admiration in his eyes.

"The Taoist priest is absurd." Li Ce said politely.

"The little general is different from other generals. He has a bookish air that cannot be concealed. Maybe he is a scholar?"

"The Daoist has good eyesight." This virtual machine seems to be very interested in him. Most of the unpredictable Taoist masters who watched TV before can tell fortunes. I wonder if this virtual machine can do it?Well, just ask him.

"What else can the priest see?" Li Ce suddenly smiled and approached.

"Hehe, the little general is taking the exam for poor daoism? The poor daoist has really dabbled in this medical astrology divination, so let's make a fortune teller for the little general."

Unexpectedly, this virtual machine is so easy to talk, and before he asked him, he took the initiative to ask for a fortune-telling for himself.

"Forget fortune-telling or something? Do you know how to meet each other?" Li Ce asked with a smile.

He was afraid that the virtual machine would test his handwriting, and it would be better if he could not write the shocking handwriting in his hand, so as not to make it embarrassing.

"Familiarity is also possible." After Xu Ji finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Li Ce, and Li Ce patiently waited for Xu Ji's conclusion.

Xu Ji's inscrutable face suddenly frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, he lowered his head and counted with his fingers, muttering something incessantly.

After a long while, Xu Ji finally let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "It's really weird, the poor way has been immersed in numbness all his life, and he thought he had already understood the true understanding of the predecessors, but today he can't understand the face of the little general... It doesn't make sense." Speaking of this virtual machine, he shook his head again, looking extremely puzzled.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Li Ce became interested. Originally, he was just asking in a playful manner and didn't care, but seeing Xu Ji's hesitation to speak, his interest suddenly aroused.

"The Taoist might as well talk about it." Li Ce urged.

"This... this..." Xu Ji hesitated, and kept silent.

"In front of the little general of the Poor Taoist Temple, the root of the Palace of Illness is sunken, even almost broken. After careful inspection, Dao discovered that the zodiac palaces are connected by a line of luster, and the zodiac palaces are actually changing. I have shown it to him before, but... I have never seen such a vision as the little general, the way of heaven cannot be seen, and the poor dare not pursue it too much." After Xu Ji finished speaking, he looked at Li Ce with some shame. After meeting each other for a lifetime, I didn't expect to capsize in Li Ce's small gutter today.

"What kind of talk is this? If you say it, it means you don't say it. It's twisted and twisted. It's a bit more obvious. It's about the twelfth house of fate." Li Ce was dissatisfied with Xu Ji's fooling himself like this.

"Didn't the little general have read the book? Doesn't it mean that he doesn't know the zodiac in the Book of Changes?" This time it was Xu Ji's turn to be surprised.

"What's so surprising, the "Book of Changes" is so difficult to understand..." the guy whispered.He didn't know that in his time, few people could understand "Book of Changes", but in the Northern Song Dynasty, almost all scholars had read "Book of Changes", so Xu Ji was surprised that he didn't understand.

"To put it simply... from the appearance of the little general, if you say something disrespectful, he should have been buried in the ground, but an unknown change occurred, which led to a change in fate, and according to poor speculation, the little The general's fate is still changing, but this... is something that Pindao never expected." Xu Ji felt a little helpless.

I thought that Xuji would say something big like the sky is full and the earth is round, but I didn't expect him to see some clues. This Xuji really has some morals.

"Well, the Taoist master is really lucky. I did suffer from a serious illness some time ago, and I was about to die." Li Ce thought it best to fool him. If the virtual machine calculates something, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Sure enough, it's no wonder... No wonder, I just said, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed! After this catastrophe, the little general will surely come back to life!" Xu Ji looked suddenly enlightened.

Li Ce thought to himself: You are a great stick, you will fool people.He smiled and said: "This is a good excuse, haha..."
