Chapter 191 Religion and politics have been inseparable since ancient times!
The lower-level members of the Ming Cult were all shocked and confused when they saw this.
Those who are truly superstitious, or even have religious beliefs that are close to devout, are often among the lower classes.
The high-ranking members of the Ming Cult all believed that Murong Fu was trying to play tricks.
The higher one's position, the less one believes in God.
The people who believe in God the most in the world are often the poorest religious believers at the bottom of society; while the person who believes in God the least in the world is the Pope of the Vatican.
The closer you get, the less reverence you feel.
This is how people behave towards both humans and God.
In the eyes of the people, the emperor is extremely sacred, the true dragon emperor, and is inviolable.
In the eyes of those who are truly close to the emperor or even close to the imperial power, the emperor is nothing more than a mortal.
The lower the status of a commoner, the more he fears the officials; the higher the status of a prince, the more he dares to kill the king.
In the eyes of grassroots believers, Mingzun is a good god, a true god, and the master of all things.
But in the eyes of the top leaders of the Ming Cult, Ming Zun is just a clay statue of a Buddha, a tool to brainwash the people below.
At this time, Murong Fu was playing the trick of Ming Zun's descent to the world. Although the senior executives had serious faces, they were all disdainful in their hearts. They thought that Murong Fu's skills were quite high just now, so why was he playing such a trick now?
This kind of trick was played to death by the Ming Cult in the Tang Dynasty, but it is no longer used today.
But the next second, they were stunned!
Balls of flames emerged from the holy fire in front of Murong Fu. These balls of flames weaved from top to bottom in the air and actually weaved a flaming staircase in the air.
This is exactly Murong Fu's almost divine use of the true Qi technique. He uses the ability to capture dragons and control cranes, guides the flames with the true Qi, and weaves a ladder of flames. It is a manifestation of the highest level of martial arts.
But even in the eyes of these martial artists, this seemed like a miracle and they could not understand it at all.
It's like a person who understands physics, but his level is limited to Newton's classical mechanics. After seeing quantum mechanics, he finds it incredible and really unimaginable.
Murong Fu's martial arts realm has reached the level of quantum mechanics, while the secular martial arts level is still within the scope of classical mechanics. When they saw Murong Fu's move, they were naturally puzzled and felt that it was like a miracle.
Even a top master like Zen Master Lingxiu, although he could see the trick, but he asked himself that although he could capture dragons and control cranes, to be so delicate and exquisite would be like carving a thousand peony flowers on tofu with a butcher knife, which is simply impossible.
And the next scene, Murong Fu exceeded Zen Master Lingxiu's imagination.
Murong Fu was seen walking up the stairs formed by the holy fire of the Ming Cult step by step. After walking for more than ten steps, a flaming throne suddenly formed in the air and the stairs disappeared. Murong Fu sat on the flaming throne, and Ling Xu sat down in the air, his body motionless.
It’s Xiaoyao Yufeng!
The free and unrestrained flying skill that surpasses the ordinary lightness skill!
Everyone was stunned.
Even someone as skilled in martial arts as Zen Master Lingxiu could not understand the principle behind this. All the light skills in the world require leverage, and there is no such thing as floating in the air.
It was the ancient Bodhidharma, who crossed the river on a reed, and there was still a reed under his feet!
Murong Fu's performance was even better than Bodhidharma's crossing the river on a reed.
This is not Qinggong!
It’s definitely not Qinggong!
Could it be that Mingzun really appeared?
Zen Master Lingxiu and others were terrified. They felt that the strong and cruel Murong Fu in front of them was even more mysterious. He was really like a god, unfathomable and unattainable.
The lower-level believers were in an uproar, and word spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand, until everyone heard about this miraculous scene.
Countless Ming Cult disciples were trying their best to get close and witness this miraculous scene.
"Welcome to the world, the most supreme and great Master!"
All the high-ranking leaders of the Ming Cult knelt on the ground, even Zen Master Lingxiu knelt down.
Although they didn't understand how Murong Fu did it, they knew that Murong Fu, who had performed such a miracle, was truly the incarnation of the Ming Lord!
"Welcome to the world, the most supreme and great Master!"
"Ming Zun is the Greatest!"
"Ming Zun is the Supreme!"
"I bow down to you, your master, who reigns supreme over the universe, like the sun above the sky, illuminating all things!"
All the lower-level disciples of the Ming Cult knelt on the ground, looking at Murong Fu on the flaming throne with fanatical expressions.
Mingzun is the god of goodness, the god of fire, and the god of light.
At this moment, Murong Fu is sitting on the flame. Isn’t it the Mingzun’s descent to the world, with the holy fire burning?
Even the shamanic dance without miracles can fool countless people into following it, let alone the shamanic dance with miracles?
Murong Fu said in a voice as loud as thunder: "The Ming Zun has come to the world, the holy fire is blazing, saving the people, and bringing peace to the world! The world is dark, the emperor is incompetent, fortunately there is Murong, holding the sword to slay the dragon!"
"I am the Ming Zun. My true spirit is attached to this generation's Ming Envoy Murong Fu to tell you that Murong Fu is the new generation of Ming Envoy. He will open up the future Bright Era after Mani. The past three thousand years were the Dark Era. Mani was born eight hundred years ago, which was the Chaos Era. One hundred years after Murong was born, it will be the Bright Era!" "The Dark Era has passed, and the Bright Era should be revealed! Murong Fu is the Chief Envoy of Light who will reveal the Bright Era! He is the second Ming Zun's great prophet after Mani!"
Murong Fu was obviously well-trained and well-prepared. What he said was entirely based on the "Two Sects and Three Periods Theory" of the Ming Cult.
The so-called two sects refer to the two major origins of the world in binary opposition, namely light and darkness, good and evil.
The three times are the past, present and future.
Murong Fu absorbed the Buddhist idea of Maitreya's coming to the world, and on the basis of the theory of two sects and three periods, he derived the theory that light will soon defeat darkness, the third era is coming, and Murong Fu represents Mingzun to open up the era of light.
In the past, there were no prophets and no Mani. It was a dark age when darkness prevailed and the bright world sank into darkness.
The eight hundred years after Mani's birth entered a chaotic era of battle between darkness and light. In this world, there was both darkness and light.
Light hides in darkness, and darkness lurks beneath light.
It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and it is also difficult to distinguish between darkness and light.
And Murong Fu is the new Ming envoy. The birth of Murong Fu marks the victory of the Age of Light over the Age of Darkness. It is Murong Fu who leads the arrival of the Age of Light.
The past, present and future, Murong Fu represents the future.
Although the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult were shocked by Murong Fu's ambition, they could not help but praise him in this situation: "Praise to the Ming Lord, praise to the Ming Envoy, praise to the great prophet Murong! The Era of Light will surely be born!"
All the Mingjiao disciples praised together, and the atmosphere became more fanatical.
Murong Fu continued in a thunderous voice: "The sacrifice of Patriarch Lin is the last struggle of the Chaos Era. He has selected the Envoy for the people of Ming Zun, the Envoy Murong Fu who will lead everyone to the future Bright Era. This is a catastrophe, but it is also a necessary condition for the birth of light. Patriarch Lin's sacrifice will not be in vain. He has been promoted to the Kingdom of Light and is enjoying incredible and immeasurable blessings."
After a pause, Murong Fu continued, "Moreover, the Persian Ming Cult was usurped by outsiders, which was also a test of the Chaos Era. Obviously, the Persian Ming Cult did not pass the test. From then on, the destiny lies in the Middle Earth, and the orthodoxy lies in China. From then on, the Middle Earth Ming Cult is the major sect, and the Persian Ming Cult is the minor sect. The Persian Ming Cult can only submit to the Middle Earth Ming Cult and assist the Middle Earth Ming Cult in completing the Bright Era, otherwise it will be a betrayal of the Ming Zun and will be punished!"
The lower classes were all very excited and remembered Mingzun's instructions clearly.
The top executives were startled. Wow! This Murong Fu is much more arrogant than Lin Qingxiong.
Lin Qingxiong only wanted "Persia to belong to Persia, and Middle-earth to belong to Middle-earth", and refused the interference of the Persian Mingjiao in the Middle-earth Mingjiao.
However, Murong Fu simply used Mingzun's mouth to announce that the Mandate of Heaven had returned to China and that the Persian Ming Cult had run out of luck. This was going against the Tiangang!
However, this is also in the interests of all Mingjiao disciples in Middle-earth, so everyone naturally supports it enthusiastically.
A religion originates from outside the country, but will inevitably cut off its ties with the outside world. This is a sign of maturity.
Just like Buddhism originated from Hinayana Buddhism in its birthplace, and evolved into Mahayana Buddhism after entering China, which is already completely different from the original Buddhism.
Murong Fu continued, "Ming Zun is the highest and greatest. He is the Creator and the only one in the world. Ming Zun has countless incarnations. In Buddhism, he is Sakyamuni. In Taoism, he is Yuanshi Tianzun. In Confucianism, he is Confucius. He is omnipresent and all-encompassing. In ancient China, Ming Zun incarnated Donghuang Taiyi, and was the Taiyi God."
This is a religious breakthrough. Whether or not one can gain the right to speak depends on how powerful the missionaries are.
Just like Sakyamuni, because of his disciples' poor debate and development level, he lost to Brahmanism, and as a result, Sakyamuni miserably became one of the incarnations of Vishnu.
Naturally, people would not object to the gods they believe in becoming more powerful, and everyone would praise them.
With this all-encompassing theory of Mingzun, it will be easier for Mingjiao to localize in the future.
"The Ming envoy Murong Fu will lead everyone to establish a bright heavenly kingdom on earth." Murong Fu established the program of the Ming Cult, "Destroy the Song Dynasty, destroy the Liao Dynasty, destroy the Xia Dynasty, unify the land of China, and develop outward based on China. This is the development of the Bright Era!"
Murong Fu pretended to be mysterious and said this, and he also complained in his heart: Isn't this turning into a country of light, with light in the eyes of the people? There is no need for candles for lighting! Should we come up with the Three-Body Theory or something?
The closer you are to God, the less you believe in Him. This is also reflected vividly in Murong Fu's mentality.
However, Murong Fu's performance was flawless. He continued to pretend to be the Lord Ming and said loudly:
"Guangmingding is far away from the Chinese mainland and is not in contact with the Yanhuang Dragon Vein. Therefore, the Mingjiao headquarters must be moved to Gusu! Gusu has the royal aura and can accomplish great things!"
"So, I will return to heaven!"
This is Murong Fu’s biggest killer move, moving the capital!
After Zhu Di conquered Nanjing, he realized that Yingtian Prefecture was not his sphere of influence. Working in Yingtian Prefecture would inevitably lead to unsatisfactory times, and even unpredictable things might happen, so he moved the capital to Beiping.
Murong Fu also based his decision on this logic. Bright Summit was too far away from the Central Plains, and Murong Fu's sphere of influence could not reach the Ming Cult, so Murong Fu could not completely control the Ming Cult.
If the headquarters was in Gusu, the Ming Cult would be constantly infiltrated by Murong Fu's network of influence and eventually completely digested by Murong Fu.
After saying this, Murong Fu's whole body trembled, as if an invisible object had left his body, and then he fell to the ground like a feather, and said regretfully: "Alas, Ming Zun is gone! You all heard what Ming Zun said, right? What do you think?"
"Support, of course!"
"What Ming Zun said is the truth!"
Everyone said.
No one objected.
The lower-level disciples regarded Murong Fu as a god and were extremely respectful to him. Murong Fu's shortcoming of having no qualifications in the Ming Cult was immediately covered by the halo of "the Ming Lord's descent".
