Zhang Yu was very interested in the methods used by casual cultivators. If the methods were really effective, then Tianxia would undoubtedly be able to learn from them. So he ordered all parties to investigate carefully and find out clearly.
I originally thought that a lot of effort was needed here, but within a few days, the results came out. Because these casual cultivators have no sense of confidentiality at all, and there is even a group that spreads methods on how to connect with each other.
After reading the entire submission, he realized that these practitioners had quite a lot of thoughts.
These people used the knowledge and Taoism they had mastered to gather some indigenous people in the wilderness, and took the initiative to help these indigenous tribes cultivate their tribal belief in gods.
This belief in gods is actually just a tool for these casual cultivators. They use these strange gods to absorb the worship of the indigenous people and unite the entire tribe. And they themselves assume part of the "sacrifice" responsibilities, responsible for intermediary contact and guidance for the survival and development of the tribe. At the same time
It also guides those who believe in God to change in the direction they desire.
In this way, casual cultivators organize these indigenous people to worship their beliefs, so belief in gods can survive. Since belief in gods is consciously cultivated, most of the oracles need to be passed down through "sacrificial offerings" such as monks, thus achieving control.
The entire tribe even believed in God's purpose.
Although this is a group of casual cultivators, Tianxia cultivators not only know Taoism, but also know various methods of governing the country, so it is more than enough to control a tribe, and the benefits it brings are far greater than those of the indigenous sacrifices.
.
As the indigenous tribes are strong, the tribes can be responsible for providing spiritual supplies. The casual cultivators can be single-handedly responsible for all situations and get rid of the situation. They can focus on spiritual practice internally and adopt inaction methods externally, basically not intervening in specific affairs. In fact,
This is much better than directly controlling the tribe by yourself.
The upper echelons of power in the tribe are also very satisfied with this, and they are also happy to accept this kind of cooperation that can gain support without restricting people.
But there is actually the most critical step here, which is that the gods worshiped by the indigenous people all have a common characteristic under prior arrangements, that is, they all worship a god, and through communication with this god, the gods can create relationships with each other.
With the spiritual connection, some relatively simple oracles can be conveyed in the middle.
Thanks to this, these monks can also communicate with each other.
This god is also created by cultivators. It is selected by some believers from many casual cultivating tribes to worship. The god is only responsible for communication and has no other abilities. This ensures that it will not rebel.
It also ensures that no one person can control this god alone.
Only when all casual cultivators gather together can this "main god" be changed.
When Zhang Yu saw this, he couldn't help but nodded. These casual cultivators could be considered to have found a new way according to local conditions. In fact, this method was not that Tianxia did not think of it, but that Tianxia was destined to be unable to hand over such important contacts to the gods, even if he cultivated them himself
Not even the gods. Shen Xia had done similar things back then, but the result was that all these gods and men were eventually wiped out.
Now, the reason why these casual cultivators are returning to Tianxia is not only to obtain some necessary treasures and creations from Tianxia, but also to find suitable disciples and helpers.
Although there are many people in the indigenous tribes, most of them have congenital defects and can only take the path of supernatural power. Naturally, they cannot master Taoism. Moreover, most of these casual cultivators look down on the indigenous people, so they would rather return to Tianxia and follow the path of Tianxia.
Choose disciples from among the Xia people.
There are also some casual cultivators here who are doing something very special. They specially invited some people to go back and teach the knowledge and writing of Tianxia to some indigenous elites. This is not because they want to spread knowledge, but purely to facilitate and better control the indigenous people.
And if you learn to be happy, you can go to Tianxia to do things for yourself.
As for the ordinary natives, they don't care, and they don't even expect them to learn anything, because only the emptier their heads are, the purer their beliefs will be. But even so, any tribe where monks are stationed will at least have enough to eat.
They can survive in the wilderness and their life span is much longer than that of other tribes.
Under this petition, each station asked how to deal with these loose cultivators.
Zhang Yu thought for a while, and he knew very well that some of the information must have been revealed by these casual cultivators in order to test Tian Xia's attitude towards them.
After some consideration, these people can stay still for the time being, because the existence of the casual cultivators themselves has also eliminated the infringement on the border in disguise, and they are not yet called enemies. As long as they do not attack Tianxia, there is no need to worry about them, but some
Things must be done.
After thinking for a moment, he passed on the message that if these casual cultivators enter Tianxia, they can provide them with some material conveniences, but they must be registered in Tianxia.
However, they are not allowed to spread the belief in strange gods. Tianxia does not force them to recruit this generation, but if the Tianxia people want to join this tribe in the future, they must provide necessary conveniences.
In addition, there were more than ten scattered details. He put forward his opinions and handed them over to the people below to supplement them. Then he made it known to this person.
After the news came out, it also spread among the entire casual cultivator group.
A few days later, in a tribal gathering place, two monks were talking in front of an incense burner. Although the surrounding valley was white, the valley where the incense burner was placed was as warm as spring.
The robes of these two Taoists are very loose, with wide sleeves hanging down to the ground, ebony hairpins on their heads, and chest-length beards. They are dressed in ancient costumes, but their bodies are clean and unsullied, and they do not look slovenly. Instead, they look elegant and free.
the wind.
The monk sitting on the left was a little older. He stroked his beard and said: "Brother Lingdao, you must have received the news from Tianxia, right?"
Ling Tao Ren said: "Brother Lu Dao received it, Ling's place is no exception."
Lu Daoren said disapprovingly: "Tianxia just likes to set rules, as if everything can be moved if there are rules. This can be said to be convenient for me, but are these conditions... Haha, what do you think, fellow Taoist Ling?"
"How else can we look at it?" Ling Taoist looked at Yun Danfengqing and said, "Just agree. Since Tianxia has agreed not to force us to be recruited, what else is there to worry about?"
However, Lu Dao people were not without doubts and said: "Now they say they won't call us, but what about in the future? Will the order be changed overnight?"
Ling Taoist shook his head and said: "For hundreds of years, although we have been in the wilderness, we have watched every move of Tian Xia. The promises made by Tian Xia have not been violated yet. This is
It's quite trustworthy. But Brother Dao, I'm afraid if I don't have these, I'm afraid that there will be fewer and fewer fellow Daoists who are willing to live in the wilderness."
The Lu Taoist asked in confusion: "What is the meaning of this statement?"
Ling Taoist said: "This time I went back to Tianxia territory and walked around, and I almost didn't want to come back. There is actually nothing in the wasteland, it's boring. How can it be as delicious and delicious as Tianxia? There are so many more
Fun things, if you can enjoy them, even if you are a little restricted, it doesn't matter."
The Lu Taoist snorted and said, "As cultivators, why do we care about this?"
The Taoist priest nodded at him and said with a smile: "Liar! We have no hope of reaching the upper state. Our practice is just to maintain our merits and not fall into decline. What we want is nothing more than freedom and happiness? But if we can be happy,
, it’s okay to be a little uncomfortable.”
Lu Daoren was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know if it was right or wrong to come out in the first place."
Ling Taoist smiled and said: "I don't regret it. If I hadn't come out at the beginning, I would have probably been killed in the battle with Shang Chentian. How could we be here today?"
This is just talk. In fact, most of them are not willing to fight with others. The environment in the wasteland, especially during the hundred years since the arrival of the turbid tide, is not necessarily any better than the outer layer. No one can survive.
He has experienced brutal fighting and has some skills.
The Lu Taoist thought for a while and said, "Have you heard? That person said that his meritorious deeds have reached the boundary, and he is expected to break through to the upper realm. He said that he is willing to take us to a place of freedom and ease."
Ling Taoist said disdainfully: "It's just talk. Even if he succeeds, wanting to fight against Tianxia is just a fool's dream. How was Youcheng back then? Where is it now?"
At this time, Taoist Lu looked around and said: "Fellow Taoist, listen to me, the person behind the scenes is not that simple..."
While the two were talking, a burst of spiritual light suddenly rose from the tribe, and a disciple came over and said: "Two gentlemen, an oracle has arrived."
Lu, the two of them looked at each other, channeled their magic power, and brought the spiritual light over. Then they saw a huge divine man emerging from it, and then he was replaced by the figure of a skinny Taoist with a high bun.
The two of them were busy talking to each other and said: "Fellow Daoist Ling is polite."
Taoist Ling made another courtesy and said: "You two are polite. In the middle of the month, Ling would like to invite all of you fellow Taoists to come to my Tuohe Cave house for a gathering, so I would like to pass this message to you two."
The Taoist priest suddenly asked: "Is there anything that cannot be preached and must be discussed in a gathering?"
The Ling Taoist looked at it and said: "The order can only say some simple things, but there are some things that are not clear. I would like to invite you two to come at the right time." After saying this, an official disappeared without a trace.
Lu Taoist pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you going or not?"
Ling Taoist said: "If many fellow Taoists are going, even if there are hundreds of them, then why don't we go?"
Lu Daoren said solemnly: "At this time, someone called Ling suddenly called us. I'm afraid he has other motives. I'm afraid that he is up to something. I'm always worried about him."
The Taoist said slowly: "It's easy to feel at ease. Just send a message to Tianxia by the way."
Lu Daoren was shocked and said: "How can you do this? This is not..."
"What's this not?"
Ling Taoist said indifferently: "If we don't say it, someone will say it. Besides, Tianxia's current attitude is that he just asks us not to cause trouble. If someone like Ling has no bad intentions towards us, then why should he be afraid of being raped by Tianxia?"
Does Xia know? Maybe Tianxia can take a high look at me from this."
Taoist Lu was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said: "In this case... I will attach a book with my fellow Taoist and send it to you."
And just half a day later, there were hundreds of letters submitted to Zhang Yu on his desk, and they all said the same thing, but these things seemed to be deliberately let Tian Xia know, he condensed.
After a moment of attention, he called Taoist Master Mingzhou out and said, "Excuse me, Taoist friend, go and invite Taoist friend Jiao Yao."
