Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 169 Abbot Jinjiao
No. 40 days after the Penglai Army was defeated at the fishing port, the Sanxian Island area entered the middle of winter.

The environment and climate here have their own pattern and are not affected by the outside world.

This is quite amazing.

It was so cold that the war craftsmen were reluctant to fight with the underworld soldiers in the Mid-Levels Garden. As a result, the troops from Abbot Island arrived despite the severe cold.

If Penglai's ships are generally more inclined to the aesthetics of ancient mechanical style, then Abbot's ships are a model of religious style.

The golden light shines, the solemnity is solemn, and the yellow bells and drums are placed in conspicuous positions. When the boat is moving, music is played from time to time, accompanied by chanting and chanting, which feels very impressive.

"Could it be a bald donkey? That's not the case, right?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

Sanxian Island has been closed for hundreds of years. The last large-scale migration was the ancestors of Kyushu.

If it is said that there is already a mature Buddhist system on Fangzhang Island, doesn't it mean that Buddhism came here with the ancestors of Kyushu?
If this is the case, then the foundation of Buddhism has really been rewritten, and it would be reasonable to follow the fabrication of the Second Sage of the West and the Taoist Master of Zixiao Palace in many ancient novels.

"No, it won't be like this!"

Zhou Yi is so nervous about this matter, he is naturally worried that the structure of this world will take off in place, and it will be so big that there is no limit.Then his extraterrestrial celestial demon might be a chess piece deliberately put in to disturb a pool of water.

By then, it won't be as simple as a self-deprecating remark like 'The clown turns out to be me'.

Rather, the copies he had experienced before, including the Green Star, might all be a dream, or a 'game' deliberately arranged by others.It's like letting a little mouse play adventure games in different themed areas of the world park.

Zhou Yi didn't go to Wang Sun to confirm the information. He wanted to use his own eyes to observe and confirm.

After all, it's all right in front of us, yes or no, there is no difference in time.

Soon, the truth came.

No.

This religious organization called the 'Golden Sect' should be accurately described as the Sun Worship Sect.

It was born out of simple nature worship. To put it figuratively speaking, after the ancestors of Kyushu came to Fangzhang Island, they packaged the local indigenous shaman-level primitive beliefs into the current Golden Sect.

It’s not just about packaging. If a religion wants to become bigger and stronger, it’s obviously not enough to rely solely on pure spontaneous belief and mutual help among like-minded people.

It is necessary to establish an organizational structure, clarify doctrines, rituals, rules and regulations, and carry out effective comprehensive management...

This is what the ancestors of Kyushu brought to the primitive sect.

Of course, it was not achieved overnight, but continuous improvement led to today's achievements.

Abbot Island integrates politics and religion, making it a religious country, and it gives the impression of Zhouyi that it is a big religion with small citizens, similar to Tibet on Earth.

Whether people's lives are miserable or not, they will not be miserable if they have faith.After all, all pain is a material reaction transmitted to the spiritual feeling, and faith can blur or even distort all feelings.

For example, those who regard pain as pleasure are very wise and suitable for taking the path of faith.

Zhou Yi is more resistant to this kind of people in his heart.

To be more precise, the fear of spiritual pollution is more severe than the fear of a lump of heat in front of you.

Zhou Yi hid without seeing anyone, and Jin Jiaojun at least had Wang Sun, a senior chronicler who had gone through almost the entire process, to provide information.

In fact, the Penglai people and the abbot people look down on each other. The Penglai people dislike the abbot's strong smell of incense, while the abbot thinks that the Penglai people are free and undisciplined, and they are just that kind of uncle!Come and play! 'Free and loose, dissolute and immoral.

However, the interaction between the two parties at the national level is relatively positive and can be regarded as an alliance of brothers.

Therefore, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, it is still necessary to let go of personal prejudices and cooperate.

The Jin Jiaojun learned the lessons of the Penglai Army and did not despise the mountain treachery. They adopted extravagant tactics that would rather burn money than sacrifice people.

This kind of tactic has many records in Zhou Yi's past life memory. Therefore, one look at Jin Jiaojun's behavior and know that Jin Jiaojun really intends to seal off the territory and occupy Yingzhou Island afterwards.

Otherwise, you will definitely lose money if you fight like this, and it is not an ordinary compensation.

Is the Jin Jiao the kind of good person who helps others when there is injustice, does good deeds without leaving any name behind them, and spends a lot of his own money to subsidize others?
Zhou Yi felt that at least it didn't look like it.

If so, he wouldn't have just arrived now, but would have killed him as soon as possible.

He felt that the reason why he came now.It is nothing more than because it has been confirmed that the Penglai army has been disabled, and it is impossible to compete with them for anything in a short time, so they appeared leisurely.

As for how many more Yingzhou people died because of this delay in fighting, Jin Jiaojun probably didn't care.I even wish I could die more.

More deaths will make it easier to adjust the population ratio after the war.If they simply die, it will be more convenient to divide them up.

As for the value of the population, a group of illiterate people who have not even completed basic education are notoriously stubborn and unruly. The cost of security and domestication is so high. How much value can the population have?
Of course, this may be the intention, but on the surface, he still wants to act Wei Guangzheng.

And religion has an advantage over politicians in this regard.

Politicians must at least falsify facts and make false claims to appear persuasive. Religion simply blames gods and Buddhas, and oracles and Zen are the truth, which can directly destroy the mentality of those who try to argue.

The fire burned the mountain, and the fire burned the port.

Zhou Yi felt that both Shangui and Jinjiao were Zhuge Liang's apprentices and were masters of arson.

However, the fire used by both parties was not serious.

Let’s not talk about Shangui’s Yin Fire. When Zhou Yi sent Yin Squid to kill Shangui’s crow soldiers, he got a lot of Yin Fire Thunder.

Shangui is quite safety-conscious. If it is not activated, these Yin Fire Thunders will not explode even if they are dropped from high altitude.

Later, after Zhou Yi analyzed his technique, he transformed all the yin fire fuel into the power of strong evil and used it for his own use.

If you lack extraordinary power, you have to be diligent and frugal. Zhou felt that Shangui's use was too wasteful.

It's a pity that after Shanguilang passed that time, he refused to come again. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind sending a plaque of 'Kaishen Logistics' to the other party.

Zhou Yi thought that the flame used by the Jin Sect would be Yang Fire. After all, these people mythologize the sun and then worship it. With the blessing of strong will and extraordinary power, it is not surprising that they can create some extremely strong and fierce Yang Fire.

Then the Jin religion uses a strange flame called golden fire.

When the flame burns, everything around it is reflected in gold. After being smoked by the flame, it is like being coated with gold paint, and there is a strong smell of incense.

The sight of Jin Jiaojun setting fire at the fishing port was too far away to see.

But on the side of the Mid-Levels Garden, Zhou Yi watched it up close.

Wang Sun lamented: "There is nothing else about this Golden Sect, but I am really convinced by this golden flame fragrance! It is fragrant and mellow like oil. No matter what the occasion or situation, as long as you smell it, you will feel drunk. Such comfort and relaxation.”

However, Zhou Yi asked him a question that was not very relevant: "How are the people of Yingzhou buried in the tombs of Penglai and the abbot?"

Wang Sun replied: "Penglai people are buried with wood, and abbot people are buried with religion."

The Book of Changes knows that wooden burials simply turn into flower fertilizer.It is similar to the burial willows used by the Han people in ancient times on earth, except that wooden burials do not require coffins, and even substances that promote decay and degradation are actively added.

"Teaching burial, what kind of burial method is it?" Zhou Yi broke the casserole and asked.

"It is said that the mummy was made using a secret method, spent three years in a tower furnace chanting sutras, and finally ascended to heaven."

Zhou Yi nodded, feeling that he understood.

As we all know, red and white events are important events in life.Correspondingly, it is also a major national event.

As for the funerals on Sanxian Island, he believed that they were all influenced by the indigenous people.

The people of Yingzhou saw that the ghosts in the mountains are immortal, going back and forth. They may think that all intelligent creatures are like this on this island of Yingzhou, so they played the ancient Egyptian tricks and made a recognizable ghost for the ghosts. body so that it can return to rest.

Therefore, on the one hand, the mausoleum must be preserved to prevent the corpses from rotting into a pile and making it difficult to identify. On the other hand, it must be stored in a tomb mausoleum to facilitate seating.

Penglai people use wood as their sustenance, which is not only convenient for remembrance, but also can benefit future generations.On the other hand, I am afraid that there is also an intention to suppress and deal with it.I hope that since the deceased has passed away, he can go there simply and not come back to cause trouble.

The abbot dealt with it more utilitarianly.It is not clear whether the soul can go to the pure land in the teaching of gold, but the body should be put to good use.

The so-called secret mummies, in Zhou Yi's opinion, most likely had their vitality extracted.

As we all know, death does not mean the complete death of the body's cells and tissues, and the most common carrier of vitality is water.

Therefore, when a corpse is dehydrated, life force is also drawn out by the way.

Of course, this is an extraordinary means.

As for the tower furnace, it is easier to understand.Burning a corpse requires the use of fire, and firewood is often used to make a fire.

With the closure of Sanxian Island, even if there are not many people, with the increase of reproduction, hundreds of years will be enough to wipe out the big island.

Referring to the Loess Plateau, the birthplace of the Han people in the east of the earth, from a satellite map, the color is almost comparable to the Gobi Desert, but in ancient times, it was a vast land full of water, grass and forests.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the centralized cremation operation of Abbot Island Jinjiao like a kiln.

Three years of chanting sutras is secondary.In order to make enough for a furnace.

When Zhou Yi asked Wang Sun this question, he was not inspired by the burning of the garden halfway up the mountain.Instead, he suspected that the golden fire used by the Jin Cult had life force added to it.

This kind of vitality is different from the 'freshly squeezed' one from a living body, and the smell of incense that Wang Sun mentioned should actually be called corpse incense.

As for why Zhou Yi knew this, it was of course caused by the 'Beiyin Xuan Shu Yu'. There was no doubt about Emperor Gui's professional level. With this status, he would naturally know a lot of professional knowledge.

After discovering Jinhuo's secret, Zhou Yi felt a bit pained.

The brilliance of the Jin Sect is full of evil. Compared with Shangui, he can be described as a true villain and a hypocrite.No matter who has the last laugh, it's not a good thing.

"Three Immortals Island, if there are people there, how can it become immortal? Sometimes it's like fireworks on earth, but when it's not good, it's like a mess."

Zhou Yi was originally indifferent to the world due to his past life experiences, but now he is increasingly finding reasons for refined egoism.

So he returned to Shegu Town early and continued his farming business.

In other words, it has been more than two months since he left Qinshan, so it is time to go back and have a look.

Of course, according to Zhou Yi's plan, it's not as simple as just looking at it.

There are still many people sleeping in the Qinshan.

After these people wake up and know that the Xian Qin Dynasty is gone, they will definitely have different thoughts.

And this step also involves the advancement of the dungeon plot.

Naturally, he wanted to delay the progress as much as possible.

This gives him more time to hone his skills, improve his knowledge acquisition, and so on.

But there are explanations for how to delay.

At least not too wishful thinking.

If there is a hidden time threshold and those sleepers never wake up, he estimates that this copy will probably end in Bad.

Therefore, it is best to have a timeline in mind and combine it with reality from time to time.

For example, when I go back this time, on the one hand, I want to check the state of the sleeper and see if he can continue to sleep.

The other is to see if the ogres and beastmen who are in food shortage due to the area being blocked have already torn out the results.

If there is a result, it means that the plot related to it should come to an end.

As a fisherman, it is only reasonable that the plot ends after the snipe and clam fight.

So that night, Zhou Yi said to Wang Sun: "Have you not been making noise before and want to see the lucky ship I am riding on? Now the opportunity has come."...

Early the next morning, a small steamer sent Zhou Yi and Wang Sun to the Qinshan.

"Ha, as expected, it is the largest mechanical ship recorded in the classics. Many of the technologies used on this ship are of great research value."

Wang Sun's comments made Zhou Yi secretly relieved.

As long as it was valuable, he was afraid that the Qinshan was a stupid, crude product built for practical purposes during the Warring States Period.

If the Penglai people look down on him and only him renovates the ship, it will not be a simple question of how long it will take.

After entering the interior of the Fuchuan, Wang Sun observed it and pointed out that the boat had probably been militarized upon request.

He also pointed out a few details for Zhou Yi to see.

Zhou Yi could not help but be surprised when he saw that wherever Wang Sun pointed out, what happened after the shell was opened was what he expected, and what he said was very clear.

It was rare for Wang Sun to hear words of praise from Zhou Yi, and he said with a little pride: "My Yanshi graduation thesis and the thesis for obtaining the senior Yanshi qualification are both from the official Fuchuan, and the latter is still recorded in the annals of history. Class."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then I wish you in advance to reach new heights and bring out master-level theories and techniques from this mechanical blessing ship."

Wang Sun's eyes lit up: "You mean, the Qinshan is going to be demolished and rebuilt, and I will have the honor to participate in it?"

"Yes, you are the first invitee and one of the ten unlimited participants. You can use all the technology of the Qinshan as you like."

"That's interesting, that's interesting!" Wang Sun smiled brightly and said loudly: "Now, let's see who else treats me as a consumable!"

Zhou Yi knew that Wang Sun was probably referring to the time when he came to Yingzhou Island to investigate the situation.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. With Wang Sun's temperament, it is not surprising that he was plotted by his colleagues and sent to perform dangerous exploration missions.

"Let's go! There are a lot of things to deal with this time, we'd better hurry up." Zhou Yi greeted and headed towards the bridge first.

　I originally planned to publish a new book today, but my illness continued. First, I didn’t pay attention to the weather when I calculated at the beginning of the month. I didn’t wear enough clothes. I caught up with the cold wave and caught a cold. I accidentally caused a stomach flu, vomiting, stomach pain and couldn't sleep. I have been tossing for forty hours. Now I am a little better, and I am not in a good state. Please forgive me.
