"This is Ms. Louise Flois, the highest-ranking priest of Nanmanism in the Kinki Diocese."
Floyce shook his head.
"All the Lord's lambs are equal, I am just a servant who has the honor to spread the glory for the Lord."
Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled on his face, but he disagreed in his heart.
She was born as a servant, and it was not easy for her to break through the ceiling and sneak into the ranks of the ruling class in this rigidly hierarchical island society.
In this world, many things are contrary to common sense. People who hate untouchables the most are often born among untouchables.
Just because they came from humble backgrounds, they should know best and sympathize with the sufferings of untouchables. Once they become prominent, they will intensify their efforts to bully those poor people who were once like them.
Hideyoshi Hashiba came from a humble background and was most sensitive to inferiority.
She likes to associate with people of noble birth and appreciates men of noble blood, but her attitude toward untouchables is harsher than that of ordinary martial artists.
Buddhism has long adapted to the island country’s hierarchical system and completed its self-transformation.
After all, the Nanman Cult came late and was ignorant. He always said that he was the lamb of the Lord, which really made Hideyoshi Hashiba, who cared about rank, very uncomfortable.
But now Hashiba Hideyoshi really needs the help of the Nanman Cult, so he can only suppress his disgust and nod with a smile.
"What the priest said is thought-provoking and full of wisdom."
Floyd smiled politely.
In the past few years, she was actually very dissatisfied with herself. The Nanman Sect had established a firm foothold in the Kyushu Diocese early, but it had never been able to break through in Kinki.
Kyushu Island, especially Kitakyushu Hakata, has been the island country's main trading port for foreign exchanges since ancient times, and the locals are open-minded.
As long as the Nanman religion can provide enough benefits to the local martial arts lords, let alone preaching, it is not difficult for the lords to be baptized themselves.
The Kinki area is the base of Buddhism in the island nation for thousands of years, and is very different from Kyushu.
The invasion of the Nanman Sect has triggered fear in Buddhism in the island countries, and the radical Yixiang Sect has actively acted as a butcher's knife, and has been at the forefront to physically eliminate the missionary space of the Nanman Sect.
Frois once thought that Ishiyama Honganji Temple was the biggest obstacle to his mission to Kinki. As long as he killed the Ichibashi clan, everything would be fine.
Therefore, when the Oda family and Ishiyama Honganji Temple confronted each other, the Nanman Cult secretly fired the first shot for both sides.
It was originally thought that the Oda family had suppressed the Ichigo sect, and that the Nanman sect would have room for activities, but the reality was more complicated than Frois imagined.
The Yixiang sect is declining, but Kinki Buddhism has already embraced a stronger thigh.
When Bishamonten descended, the guardian deity of the samurai family, the protector of Buddhism, and the religious colleagues of the island nation knelt down and licked Shiba Yoshigan. The ugly behavior was beyond Freus's imagination.
How can they modify the teachings at will to cater to the needs of those in power? This is too bottomless, right?
The Nanman people have little knowledge. Buddhism is as famous as Taoism. They have been living in East Asia for thousands of years. The longer they live, the more nourished they are. They understand the principle of survival of the fittest.
Are there not enough doctrines modified by Buddhism and Taoism? In order to cater to those in power and the common people, they create gods from various historical figures and stuff them into books.
I don't have enough brains, so I just borrowed the settings from Fengshen Yanyi, which is exactly the same thing.
Polytheism doesn't care about worshiping a few more gods, but monotheism cannot do that. The current dilemma of Flois is that the island country's Buddhism has created a new living god, standing in the way of the Nanman religion.
Even if the Yi Xiang Sect declines, the Nanman Sect still cannot break through the religious protection circle of Buddhism in the island country, because the living god Shiba Yiyin will protect them.
This is the biggest reason why major sects join forces to kneel down and lick the saint.
While the loudspeakers of Buddhism in the island country fill the streets to promote the saint, the saint is also tied to the boat of Buddhism in the island country. He is both prosperous and damaged.
If Flois wanted to reverse the decline of the Southern Barbarians in the missionary work, he had to find new strong collaborators.
