At the beginning, there were not seven countries in the Great Wilderness, but only four. Among them, the most powerful was the Jin Kingdom. Their border was bordered by the grasslands where the barbarians were located, but there was only a small-scale friction between the two sides. The fighting did not break out. It is mainly based on trade.
At that time, the Garan Temple was only a small organization, and its scale was far smaller than it is today. It was still running around, looking for opportunities to open the temple. However, all countries had their own beliefs at that time, and the missionary work of the temple was progressing slowly, and Still frustrated everywhere.
Later, Yong Mendi, the priest of Kaiyang, decided to go to the grassland to give a mission.
But the barbarians have never believed in this, they only trust their fists.
Yong Mendi discovered that it was more difficult to preach here when he arrived in the grassland, and because of the language barrier, he simply couldn't communicate with the barbarians normally.
Yong Mendi has an extremely tenacious heart. He swears to Yue that he will never return to the Central Plains without successfully preaching on the grasslands in this life.
For the next twenty years, Yong Mendi has been actively running on the grassland, using his lifelong learning to solve many problems for the barbarian, and finally won the approval of the highest leader of the barbarian at that time, he was named a national teacher, and he began to build on the grassland. Shrine, spread shrine doctrine.
This was originally a very happy thing, but when the news came back to the Garan Temple, the high priest of the Temple at the time noticed something was wrong.
Because the doctrine used by the Prairie Shrine is completely different from the doctrine used by the Garan Shrine.
Yon Mendy, went the wrong way.
The temple immediately dispatched priests to the grassland, hoping to find out the truth. As a result, every priest who went to the grassland had no return.
One day afterwards, Yong Mendi officially announced that he had rebelled against the temple and proclaimed himself high priest. On this day, the barbarians formally launched a war against Jin.
At that time, Jin was a strong national power and was the overlord of the great wilderness. At the beginning, he did not pay attention to the attacks on the barbarians. The front line was fighting, and the emperor of Jin was still in the mood to choose a concubine. However, Yong Mendy knew about this in advance. The most beautiful girl on the grassland was sent to choose the concubine, and she approached the Emperor of Jin smoothly and became the favorite concubine.
At this time Jin Guo finally discovered that they could not beat the barbarians.
The barbarians have become infinitely powerful. An ordinary barbarian soldier can actually fight against four or five soldiers from the Jin country. The barbarian's cavalry is even more brave. Once they start charging, any obstacle will be a chicken shingle in their eyes. In just two months, more than a quarter of Jin's land has been lost!
The royal family of the Jin Kingdom panicked, but years of arrogant and extravagant life made the nobles of the Jin Kingdom afraid of war. They proposed a peace agreement, hoping to divide the country in exchange for retaining their own glory and wealth.
Of course, the generals of Jin resolutely opposed the negotiation. The two sides quarreled endlessly in the court, and no one could convince anyone.
At this time, the barbarian noble concubine stood up, settled the generals in a few words, and asked the emperor to put to death all the generals who were striving to fight.
Without this group of people, the Jin country was even more vulnerable, and the frontline soldiers gave up resistance and started looting all the way back and forth.
A large number of refugees began to flood into other countries, among which Tang State accepted the most. This laid the foundation for Tang State's future rise, because among the refugees Tang State accepted, there are many talents from all walks of life.
Once the Kingdom of Jin falls, then the Kingdom of Tang will face the barbarians. Tang Guo realized this, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and soon pulled up a powerful army, waiting for the barbarians to come.
Half a year later, Jin was completely occupied, and the barbarians reached the border of Datang.
The two sides fought hard on the border for half a month, causing nearly 500,000 casualties
People, of which about 200,000 barbarians, and 300,000 Tang Jun!
This was the biggest loss since the barbarians invaded, and he dared not venture again for a while, and it also gave Tang Guo a chance to breathe.
Just when the barbarians were about to fight a protracted battle, the master came to the grassland and saw Yong Mendi.
Also accompanied by the high priest of the temple at that time.
The three talked on the grassland.
This theory is seven days and seven nights.
In the end, no one can convince anyone.
The high priest and Yonmendi fought each other, and both died together.
The master cremated the bodies of the two people and sprinkled them on the vast grassland.
Although Yong Mendi was dead, he did not shake the barbarians' military spirit. They still believed that it was only a matter of time before they conquered the Tang Dynasty.
However, in the battle between the high priest and Yongmendi, he had found a way to deal with the barbarians. The master brought this way back and informed the Garan Temple.
The temple also officially participated in the war.
The great purification technique of the temple has a miraculous effect on the barbarians. The great purification technique performed by ten priests can instantly wipe out thousands of barbarians' armies.
The barbarian felt fear and began to retreat.
But with such a good opportunity, how could the temple and Tang Guo miss it, they chased the barbarian all the way into the grassland, and kept driving the barbarian to the bitter cold land of the far north.
The two sides fought hard for several months, the temple sacrificed nearly a hundred priests, and Datang also lost nearly 200,000 troops.
In the end, the barbarian leader signed a contract with the temple and Datang.
Barbarians are trapped forever in the bitter cold of the far north, and are not allowed to set foot in the grasslands.
As a result, in exchange for the continuation of the barbarian race.
After the war, the kingdom of Jin split and the kingdom of Tang rose, and the temple officially became the strongest religion in the Great Wilderness, and the temple was built everywhere.
But the barbarians have never given up the pursuit of their homeland one day. They are still practicing magic, hoping that one day they can go south and take back the grassland.
Now they have taken this step.
Although it is understandable to want to go home, the demon sect is the demon sect, and it will never blend in this world.
Not killing them is already Ling Zhaoyan's bottom line.
"But... it’s been thousands of eight hundred years. The barbarians are trapped in the far north, and the demon cult talents are dying. I haven’t heard the name of the demon cult for many years. Coupled with the high pressure of the temple, I’m thinking about this sect. It's already been wiped out. Still need to be so vigilant? As you said, the barbarians just now didn't look like they fell into the Demon Cult." Zhou Fei said.
"Withering does not mean extinction. If you don't see it, it doesn't mean that the Demon Cult does not exist." Ling Zhaoyan said tirelessly: "It is true that the Demon Cult has disappeared in recent years, and there is almost no movement. However, the temple can still catch many demons. The members of the teaching, they are lurking in various countries as normal people, preparing for the counterattack one day."
Zhou Fei said: "Then why doesn't the Demon Cult try to spread the doctrine in the Great Wilderness? How do their founders also belong to the temple? It is entirely possible to have a debate on who is the right way."
Zhou Fei's words are not nonsense, because the same thing should not be too common in later civilized societies. In order to snatch the believers and denounce each other as heretics, anyone can put an orthodox title for themselves, anyway, the thing is worthless.
As long as the believers can be fooled, those people can use it for any reason.
The same applies to the Great Wilderness. Yong Mendi came to the grassland alone and created a brand new branch on the original doctrine of the temple, and in the end he claimed to be orthodox. If he can spread the doctrines to all countries in the Great Wilderness, he must be able to fool some people into his followers.
As long as you can develop into believers, it will be easy to do things.
, If you can develop a few high-level followers, things will be easier.
How come these guys don't use their brains.
Ling Zhaoyan was a little displeased. She obviously felt that Zhou Fei had no hatred for the Demon Cult, but instead was somewhat interested. This was not a good sign.
Demon sect is evil, everyone gets it and punishes it.
What's more, Zhou Fei is still a disciple of the Master, a student on the second floor of the academy. If even he is highly respected of the Demon Cult, doesn't it mean that the position of the academy will be deviated
Ling Zhaoyan felt that he had to turn Zhou Fei's "Three Views" back.
"The reason why the demon sect is not in the Central Plains is because the demon attack is a retrograde practice. You should know that our cultivation is based on the vitality of the heavens and the earth for our own use, and the demon sect is to absorb the vitality of the heavens and the earth in the body. Who can withstand ordinary people Heaven and earth vitality? Only a savage body is strong enough to bear it. Therefore, Demon Cult has no foundation in the Great Wilderness, and coupled with such acts against the heavenly way, any normal person will reject it."
The implication of this is that Zhou Fei is very abnormal now.
Zhou Fei didn't want to explain too much either. He was not a native of the Great Wasteland, and he had no stand on the Demon Cult Temple, so he couldn't be like Ling Zhaoyan.
However, it is better not to discuss such topics frequently, so as not to hurt the peace.
"Eat something and hurry up later." Zhou Fei changed the subject and took out the dry food to share with Ling Zhaoyan.
Ling Zhaoyan ate the dry food in small mouthfuls, and occasionally glanced at Zhou Fei, not knowing what he was thinking.
The sky in the grassland has always been as blue as a mirror, but at this moment a large group of dark clouds floated from nowhere.
"It's going to rain?" Ling Zhaoyan said: "Find a place to shelter from the rain."
Zhou Fei said, "There are only barbarians around here, right?"
Ling Zhaoyan glanced at him: "I would rather get caught in the rain."
Zhou Fei smiled and said, "It's just a joke, let's go and see if there is a place to shelter from the rain nearby."
…
The clouds are getting lower and lower, making people feel almost within reach.
Thunder rumbling, lightning like a snake.
The barbarian woman put away the blanket, twisted the child's ear and dragged him into the tent.
Her husband is sleeping soundly.
Snoring and thunder came and went one after another.
But the barbarian women were used to it. She lit an oil lamp and continued to mended the leather jacket with the oil fire like bean sprouts.
This is something every barbarian woman must learn.
Far north, bitter cold.
Hunting is also extremely difficult.
It often takes more than half a month in the ice and snow to catch decent prey.
Whether the leather jacket worn by a man keeps warm has become a benchmark for testing a barbarian woman.
Every barbarian woman will be taught the technique of sewing from the elders of the clan from the beginning of her sensibility, in order to sew a warm and fitting leather jacket for her husband in the future, which can withstand the extreme north wind and cold.
But in terms of needlework, barbarian women can hang all the women of the Seven Wilderness Kingdoms.
Although I have come to the grassland now, the winter here is definitely not as good as the extreme north, but the habit inherited for thousands of years is not so easy to change. As long as there is time, the barbarian woman will pick up the needle and thread to repair.
Generally speaking, she is reluctant to light an oil lamp, which is a very luxurious thing for them, but it is too early today, and she can't sleep, so she can only be extravagant.
After playing for a while, the child fell asleep next to his father, with his hands still tightly around his father's arm.
The woman smiled when she saw this scene.
But soon, she couldn't laugh.
