One day in the midsummer of the eighth year of Zhenguan, in a small village in the north of Lushe City, the capital of the Tubo Kingdom, the n-year conference of gods and priests for the gods was officially launched. According to the instructions of the leader of the gods and the practices of previous years, the whole village who actively believed in religion and believers should take out one-third of the stored food and money from their families and contribute to the gods, otherwise life would not protect them, and their lives and property would not be protected by the gods.

In other words, if you come slowly, you will be stolen at once. You choose for yourself. We are very kind and give you the right to choose. You can burn the incense!

The government is inaction, and most people believe in religion. Some people who were not willing to believe in the divine sect have become minority sects and become the key targets of attack. After a period of terrorist attacks, the resistance of these people was ended by steel knives and doctrines. The divine sects used various methods to turn these unbelievers into those who were active in religion and passive in religion. Those who were active in religion were mentally collapsed, while those who were passive in religion were forced to grit their teeth and persist.

So everyone in the village became believers.

The sect, a sect born seven years ago, was not like this. The original sect only advocated the theory of gods and did not believe it. However, as time went by and the increase in the congregation, the publicity efforts were also increased, and the level of publicity gradually increased. Four years ago, the number of believers in the sect reached a very terrifying number, which was of course relative to Tubo.

And after that, the doctrine of the gods changed. Originally, the church members did not require the church to contribute their own food and property, but four years ago, they began to ask for the gift of one tenth of the property or the food. Some diehards naturally agreed, but most people began to object. It doesn’t matter if they believe in religion, but originally there was not enough food and money, so they still had to contribute? The church members of the gods once decreased sharply.

However, three and a half years ago, this situation reversed. A group of religious members of the God Sect launched a movement in a place in the north of Luosie City, calling on everyone to join the movement of the God Sect, and looted some opponents. Some Tubo officials who firmly opposed it were arrested by the God Sect in full view of the public and were stolen in public. The tragic situation has been remembered by some people so far, but what disappointed and puzzled everyone was that Zamp did not come forward to stop the occurrence of this situation.

The sect of gods seemed to become quite violent overnight, and violent movements were launched in the territories of the major Tubo lords. Those who believe in religion lived and those who do not believe in religion died. In a short period of time, most of the territories in southern Tubo began to believe in religion. Whether forced or proactive, the sect of gods began to lobby and propaganda, and only if the effect was not good, they would use force. This method proved to be very useful.

The government did not move, and the Gods were still rampant. Some hard-line figures who dared to resist were killed one after another, many of the senior figures were killed and their territory was seized. The people finally understood that no one would support them. The Gods' sect's momentum sweeping over Tubo could not be stopped, and their power increased sharply. With the expansion of power and the increase of believers, the Gods' sect also demanded more people on the church. From one tenth of the property at the beginning to one third of the property now, it only took three years.

However, no big shots have stood up to oppose it. However, at least some lords insist on not allowing the gods to enter their territory, and patrolled the territory's borders with their own private soldiers. When they saw the gods, they would take action and resolutely fight against them. This made most of the Tubo people who were forced to believe in religion use all means to escape from their original residence and head towards these northern resistance lord territories in order to be protected.

Among these people, Lu Dongzan was the most determined one. He was the first lord to lead a family private army to hunt down the gods and sects on a large scale. Under his leadership, the four major lords in the north and more than a dozen small lords formed a group, resolutely not allowing the gods and sects to enter their territory. Faced with such a thing, careful people found that Zamp Songtsen Gampo still did not express his opinion.

The northern territory is called the Land of Hope, which is the dream of all Tubo people who are unwilling to believe in religion, and is also a thorn in the eyes of the rulers and actual controllers of the Divine Cult. They have organized and armed loyal religious believers to attack the Land of Hope in the North more than once, but they have all been defeated by resolute resistance. The lord's private soldiers are real soldiers, and the fanatical religious believers cannot compete with it.

Zanpu Songtsen Gampo was oppressed by a large number of Tubo's powerful people and had no choice but to compromise and did not interfere in the daily activities of the Divine Cult. However, when the Divine Cult asked Zanpu to order the gods to be allowed to enter the territory of the northern lords to promote the gods, Songtsen Gampo refused with a sneer, so they would not obey their orders, and they had already stated that they would not interfere with the daily affairs of the Divine Cult, which was also a daily matter.

This is the only thing Songtsen Gampo did that was unfavorable to the God Cult. The powerful people who tried to use the God Cult to control the entire Tubo hated this, but they had no choice but to do so. Songtsen Gampo was not a puppet. The gods who were disrespectful to him were dismembered by him to show their bottom line and dignity. At least 50,000 Tubo troops were firmly held by Songtsen Gampo, which annoyed Songtsen Gampo. Who knows what he would do?

Therefore, these powerful people had no choice but to suppress Lu Dongzan and the leaders of the northern hope land to settle in the central government of Tubo, and could not change the status quo; during the northern expedition to Tuyuhun, the 30,000 people led by Lu Dongzan were the direct troops of Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan, used to show their prestige.

Most of the subsequent 100,000 troops were those who believed in the Divine Cult. Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan felt that even if they lost some, they would not feel distressed if they could eliminate the 40,000 Tang troops. However, the strength of the Tang army made them feel bad. If they really lost these 100,000 troops, Songtsen Gampo could step down.

However, as the divine religion strengthened its mastery of the south and the central region, the encroachment of the northern land of hope also began to strengthen. Lu Dongzan gradually felt that he was unable to do so. If this continued, it would be very likely to cause serious consequences. So at this moment, Lu Dongzan made a decision and finally changed the situation.

In July of the eighth year of Zhenguan, more than 1,300 people from the Tang Dynasty Buddhist and Taoist missionary mission arrived at the Tubo capital Lushe City, and received enthusiastic reception from Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo. He immediately expressed that he would use the national manpower and material resources to build a temple and a Taoist temple for each of the Buddhist and Taoist missionary missions to live in. As their base camp for missionary missions in Tubo, all needs can be raised with him, as long as he can do it, he will have no choice!

This incident attracted the close attention of the leaders of the Divine Cult. For this reason, they held an important meeting. The results of the meeting stated that the entry of the Tang sects must be maintained. Although their true purpose cannot be known, they are also missionaries and will definitely have an impact on the Divine Cult. The mission has not started yet, so I don’t know how much impact it will have, but no matter how much impact it has, one must maintain a basic point - not cause any death!

Just kidding, who Songtsen Gampo is so crazy that it makes the Tang Dynasty obey and obedient and pays tribute. Then these monks and Taoists in the Tang Dynasty should not be underestimated, nor should they be killed or injured. Otherwise, Songtsen Gampo will be extremely likely to be sanctioned by Songtsen Gampo with the power of the Tang Kingdom. Once this happens, the situation will change. They can fight against Songtsen Gampo, but they cannot fight against Tang Kingdom.

Judging from the current situation, the Tang State is definitely not easy to mess with. Once an international dispute is triggered, it will be very unfavorable to them. After all, Songtsen Gampo is Zampo, representing the central government. The Tang State also set up a so-called embassy at the same time. A group of Tang State officials arrived, accompanied by 500 mighty black-armored soldiers. The fierce momentum surprised all the Tubo people. The powerful and powerful compared their own private soldiers to them, which made them very uneasy.

Therefore, they asked the missionaries of the Divine Confucianism to not attack the Tang people no matter what they encountered, and they could not attack the Tang people no matter what they were. As long as they were Tang people, they must ensure their lives safety and avoid disputes with them. Once disputes arise, they will find the upper-level supervisor to negotiate with them as soon as possible, and the lower-level scholars will never allow direct contact with them.

They were really worried that those fanatical believers who were unknown would cause life damage to the missionaries of the Tang Dynasty. These crazy believers did not understand what international disputes were.

The grassroots organizations of the Divine Cult quickly learned the news, and then held a meeting of the church members in many places, clearly announcing the instructions of the leader. No matter what the situation is encountered, they must be polite to the Tang people. They will definitely not be allowed to quarrel with them, let alone fight against each other, let alone kill them. Whoever dares to touch them will be punished by the gods!

The believers don’t understand why, but since they received such a notice, they just did it. At the same time, the powerful and powerful were afraid that their fat sheep would be taken away by Buddhism and Taoism. In order to strengthen control, they issued orders to various grassroots organizations controlling the villages to strengthen monitoring of believers, and they will never be allowed to contact Buddhist and Taoist missionaries from the Tang Dynasty to avoid unexpected things.

The teachings were conveyed to grassroots organizations one by one, and this original meaning was understood as strengthening the exploitation of believers...

Therefore, the three-year annual meeting of gods and priests was modified to n years, with n no upper limit and no less than five lower limits.

This is the number of gods and priests meetings. The believers in the village were tortured torture. Except for a few families who have become loyal believers of the Gods, who would rather starve to death than protect their faith in their hearts, most of the remaining believers expressed dissatisfaction. God wants to protect us, but we have no food. Will the gods give us food? Since that's the case, don't just collect it and leave it to us directly?

In response, the grassroots leaders of the Divine Church said that this is the instructions of the gods. Gods should test their loyalty to life to ensure that they can bring blessings to the right people, rather than mistakenly bring blessings to those who do not believe in God in their hearts. The more you give, the more blessings you will bring to you.

In fact, they will believe and doubt these words, but those with a little power will not believe them at all. This is just a nonsense, a lie.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry!"

The crisp sound of children sounded, attracting the attention of a large group of believers who were actively or passively giving their food and property. The gods who were collecting food and property also heard it, and suddenly something was wrong in the whole scene.

The old man, known as grandfather, quickly covered his grandson's mouth and scolded: "This is food dedicated to the gods. If you offer it to the gods, the gods will bless us! Your mother's illness will be cured!"

The child, who was about six or seven years old, broke free from his grandfather's hand and shouted loudly: "But Abao's mother died of illness. Why didn't the gods save her? Also, the grandmother-in-law starved to death, why didn't the gods give her food? She clearly gave all the food to the gods, and prayed every day that the gods gave her food, and I saw it!" rs
