When the corn in your rice jar bottoms out, when you face an enemy several times your size with bare hands on the battlefield, you will definitely ask, where is Allah?
If God cannot bless his believers, then what is the point of believing in God?
Perhaps these believers do not completely trust Allah, but sometimes religious fanaticism can cover up the fear and helplessness in their hearts.
In other words, they are using their faith to escape reality. This may be the reason why the cannibals can quickly assimilate the aboriginal people in the river by relying on the Tianfang Sect. The teachings of the Tianfang Sect sound so wonderful, although they are not as realistic as the Jisi rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Aren't people all greedy? A single meal and clothing can obviously no longer satisfy the appetites of the people in the river countries. At this time, the beauties and delicacies of heaven may become the best temptations.
Regardless of whether the residents of Asbrai have received God's blessings, it is obvious that God is not with the "caravan" at this moment.
Although Ashina Luoji claimed that he had great supernatural powers and could definitely find a place for the "caravan" to settle before the sun went down, Li Kuo and his party actually encountered big trouble. There were more than 600 people and hundreds of families.
Boxes make it difficult for any hotel to easily promise enough guest rooms for them to rest.
In the end, the "caravan" chose to rest in a shack in the lee of Nancheng. Since it was a shack, the accommodation conditions were naturally not very good. Although many soldiers had to sleep on bunks, fortunately, the bronze warriors all came from the Gobi Desert.
A tough guy who has survived this can still bear this little pain.
Ashbula City is a complete mountain city. The city built on the mountain extends upward in a stepped manner, making reasonable use of every inch of land. The clever layout makes the surrounding houses and streets very compact, giving people a sense of comfort.
A refreshing feeling. It is now the transition between spring and summer, and the temperature at night is very pleasant. Since the "caravan" was going to rest in a small town for one night, Li Kuo decided to go for a walk in the mountains with his friends Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuwei and others.
.
In this regard, Ashina Luoji naturally had no objections. He only repeatedly warned them not to be in the limelight and come back to rest early. You must know that there are many patrolling guards in Ashina Lai City. If they were to see
If you find a flaw, it will be a big trouble.
Due to the invasion of cannibals, the city of Ashbula has an obvious Tianfang religious style. Li Kuo and his party climbed up the mountain road and enjoyed the surrounding scenery and houses. The air on the mountain was fresher and much more pleasing to the eye.
Because there is a cliff on the right side of the stone path, for safety reasons, only the left side is covered with houses, but there are many trees planted on both sides that Li Kuo cannot name. On the right side of the stone path, you can look far into the distance, and your eyes pass over the rooftops of the town below.
A tributary of the Broken Leaf River can be seen.
Oddly enough, the central area of Ashpurai City, the aristocratic district, is located on the top of a mountain.
Every piece of land on the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the governor's palace of Ashbrai City and the domed temple of Tianfang Sect on the top of the mountain, is covered with Tianfang style buildings.
Hidden and overlapping, there are platforms on platforms, and streets on streets. Various trees, flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the winding stone paths or huge steps. Looking around, there are roofs everywhere
Gardens, terraces. The roof of one house may be the small square of another house. This layout reminded Li Kuo of the cave dwellings in Longyou. (Note 1)
Of course, this idea was wiped away by the unfamiliar architectural style that came to us.
There is almost no trace of the architectural culture of the aborigines. Occasionally, one or two spiers will appear, but they are already mottled and worn. The deep arcades, colonnades, battlement walls, and domed temples remind Li Kuo all the time.
A group of people, this place has been completely invaded by the cannibal forces!
Cultural invasion often occurs silently, changing everything before you even react.
The setting sun cast its afterglow on the huge silver-plated dome of Tianfang Temple, dazzling everyone. A gust of evening wind blew by, and everyone closed their eyes and enjoyed this rare and pleasant time.
What is to the west of the city of Ashpurai? What is to the west of the ancient kingdom of Persia?
Everything in Lingxi is so mysterious to these young people...
A few young people were naturally very excited when they saw an architectural style that was completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty for the first time. They climbed to the top of the mountain without taking a break. When they reached a corner, there were many huge statues of gods and heroes from heaven standing in the gleaming light.
On the pedestal, they watched the passers-by. Although most of the statues and teenagers did not know what they were referring to, they were still happy. The most interesting thing was that Zhang Yanjifei said that a goddess statue was very similar to the Feitian seen in Hexi.
Although it has not yet reached the hottest time, these stone slabs have already heated up a lot after being exposed to the sun for a day. The shadows of the palm trees and column arcades cast on the stone pavement, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Although there are no more ragged porters, slaves, unkempt children, or beggars here, the teenagers still feel uncomfortable.
Tianfang believers wearing turbans, wearing dirty robes and wooden shoes with turned up toes, were climbing towards the top of the mountain. They had unkempt beards on their faces and talked slowly about some big things.
Don't understand the words.
Maybe he was reciting the Quran? In the eyes of Li Kuo and others, it must be very boring!
But these believers don't think so. They climb devoutly towards the top of the mountain, where there is Tianfang Temple, which is the place closest to God!
Passing through the arched gates, you will arrive at the noble district.
It seems that in any corner of the world, there is a gap between rich and poor, and in any corner of the world, there is oppression, even if this place is right next to the mosque where God has given blessings.
Although there are a lot of people in this area, most of them are middle- and upper-class people. Even if they are not nobles, they can at least have enough food and clothing.
As far as the eye can see, there are green branches, cool spring water and soft lawns. It is difficult to associate such a pleasant environment with the dirty and smelly slums at the foot of the mountain. It seems that injustice exists everywhere.
Everywhere you go there is oppression!
"Brother Kuo'er, let me tell you that at least when the Tang Dynasty controlled this area, these Hu'er had plenty to eat and lived warmly. How can it be like now, when their stomachs are obviously growling with hunger, but they still pretend to be
It doesn’t matter. What kind of God do they believe in, right? They can enter heaven after death. Oh, if everything really has to wait until death to realize it, what else do people want to do in this life? "
The huge difference between the two gathering areas greatly stimulated Zhang Yanji. From the young man's perspective, the cannibals not only succeeded in ruling the river barbarians, but also brainwashed them from the depths of their consciousness. The Islamic culture that pervaded these aboriginals had completely
Transformation and cultural invasion are far more effective than the deterrence of force, and their effects are longer-lasting.
"You think so, but others may think so too. Maybe the poor people are still thinking about the beauties, wine and food in heaven while they are starving and freezing. People are enjoying it endlessly, so why are you so anxious? Mortals, mortals!"
Zhou Xiaolangjun obviously doesn't appreciate Zhang Yanji's unfounded behavior. Since it exists, it is reasonable. Since the barbarians in the river can accept the brainwashing and oppression of the cannibals, it proves that there must be some truth in it. The culture of a region
It is very different from another region, and the perspective of looking at the problem will naturally be different.
"Okay, I came here to relax, so don't quarrel!" Li Kuo really didn't expect that a casual chat could cause two guys to quarrel, and he was really helpless. If he had known this earlier, he would not have brought the two of them here.
Already.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, make way for the Governor!"
"You bitch, what about you? Move out of the way quickly. Can you stop the Governor's sedan?"
A crisp sound of a whip broke the tranquility of the dusk, and the crowds on the roadside cast various glances.
Some were horrified, some were disdainful, and some were jealous and envious, but without exception, everyone among them was forced to the foot of the wall by the governor's sedan chair, greeting his female relatives in his heart.
In this city of Ashbula, there are its own rules. The rules are simple and easy to understand, but they are extremely cold. Anyone who is not as noble as the other party must give way to the other party, otherwise you will be severely beaten by the other party's servants.
If you are lucky, you will have a few humiliating whip marks on your face. If the servant is in a bad mood or has eaten the master's hand, you are likely to be stabbed by a spear. Even if you are injured or even due to
In the event of injury or death, according to the laws of Ashburai City, neither the other party's head nor the servants shall bear any responsibility.
Li Kuo frowned, looking past the crowd of heads, he saw a rather comical scene. The governor or his wife of Asbrei City was sitting lazily in a sedan, carried by six dark-skinned and burly slaves.
**Walk slowly on the red shoulders.
The young man did not move away like other believers in dirty robes. This was not entirely because he did not understand what the evil servant of the Governor's Mansion said. The more important reason was because of the person in front of him.
Beside the governor was a knight in silver armor riding a bay-red horse. He had the most common scimitar on his waist, a wooden shield embedded with copper blocks stuck behind his back, and he held a sword in his right hand.
Spear. As soon as he appeared, he attracted almost everyone's attention, so that the governor could only hide in the sedan chair and enjoy the afterglow of the setting sun.
He is so eye-catching not because his stirrups and bridle are inlaid with silver, nor because of his helmet covered with silk turban, but because of his breathtaking eyes.
He is not a big cannibal! He is not a big cannibal!
To be precise, he is a Tang Dynasty person! He is actually a Tang Dynasty person!
Note 1: Cave dwellings are an ancient form of living for residents on the Loess Plateau in northwest China, which are warm in winter and cool in summer.
ps: There is a cave dwelling in my hometown. I am standing in my yard, that is, on the roof of the other party. Please subscribe!
