Chapter 114 The Great Zhou Emperor is the living spokesperson of the Daoist Master
Qihar suddenly realized!
In fact, not many soldiers were killed directly in the war.
Many times, they died from wound infection.
During battles to defend a city, archers would soak their arrowheads in slop in advance in the hope of infecting those hit by the arrows.
Even the officers defending the city would collect feces and throw it from the city walls onto the enemies climbing the ladders.
During the long battle, the number of soldiers who died of infection was far greater than the number of soldiers who were killed directly on the battlefield.
Qihar was shocked and frightened at the same time.
Taoist Priest You Ran said: "The Great Zhou Emperor is the living spokesperson of the Taoist Master."
"All this is the will of the Dao Zun!"
Then, Taoist Master Youran began to preach.
Taoist Master Youran is from a branch of Wuyin Mountain.
But Taoist Master You Ran also added some of his own insights.
In addition to Taoist legends, he also mixed in many Buddhist misleading things.
Things like reincarnation and karma.
Moreover, Taoist Master Youran even boasted that the Emperor of Great Zhou was the living spokesperson of the Taoist Master.
On the one hand, he boasted about the Taoist's magical powers, and on the other hand, he spoke of the wisdom and bravery of the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
Qihar was stunned after hearing this.
The old man was superstitious to begin with. As a person from the grassland, he had never heard of such magical Taoist words.
For a moment, Qihar and his son really believed it!
Taoist Master Youran is also a capable person.
He did not talk about any obscure scriptures, but started with some stories and integrated the Taoist classics.
Then he kept reminding and instilling in Qihar that this was a strict logic.
Now Qihar completely believed that all this was arranged by Daozun!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou is the living spokesperson of the Daoist Master!
After listening to Taoist Youran's perfect preaching, Qihar immediately said:
"Master, I am willing to donate some money! Please build a Taoist temple in the Lanlu tribe!"
Taoist Youran shook his head.
"Great Khan, the Taoist temple is not important. Please allow me to preach in the Lanlu tribe!"
"Of course, of course. You are the most honorable person in our Lanlu tribe! You can preach here at any time!"
The next day.
The recovered Qihar appeared in the tribe’s main tent.
This miraculous fact completely shocked the top leaders of the entire Lanlu tribe.
Qihar immediately proposed to invite Taoist Master Youran to preach.
Those who had witnessed Qihar's transformation from being on the verge of death to fully recover all came to the altar that Taoist Youran had just built.
Seeing that all the nobles of the tribe had gathered here, some idle herdsmen also came over.
Taoist Priest Youran specially changed into a plain white Taoist robe, looking like an immortal.
He used his lightness skills to fly to the altar very gracefully.
Many nobles cheered.
"Your Excellency, I, the disciple You Ran, will preach in the Lanlu tribe today!"
What You Ran talked about this time was karma and reincarnation.
He first talked about the peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou.
It describes the prosperity of Kyoto and talks about many festivals, and the spectacular scenes of Kyoto's civil and military officials celebrating together with the people.
The leisurely and vivid description made everyone in the audience fascinated.
Even for the nobles of Beimang, their daily leisure activity is horse riding and hunting.
I have never seen Kyoto so prosperous.
Taoist Master You Ran said: "In this world, circles are divided one by one according to karma."
“Those with the purest and smallest karma can live in the capital of the Great Zhou, beside the majestic Great Zhou emperor, and enjoy stability, peace, and abundance.”
"But you barbarians living in the grasslands outside the Great Wall have heavier karma and cannot become citizens of the Great Zhou."
"If you continue to make mistakes in this life, you will be reborn in a more bitter, cold and remote place to suffer."
"Only after you have washed away all the karma on your body can you strive to be born in the capital of the Great Zhou in your next life!"
The people of the Lanlu tribe were talking about it, and they didn't really believe what Taoist Youran said.
Taoist Master You Ran was not in a hurry and continued:
"Let me show you the magic skills of the Great Zhou. Bring out the seriously ill patients, and I will heal them right on the spot with the magic medicine bestowed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"
As soon as these words were spoken, nobles from the Lanlu tribe immediately brought their critically ill patients over.
Taoist Master You Ran looked at them one by one, and if those could be treated with penicillin, he would use living elixirs to treat them.
If penicillin cannot cure the disease, Taoist Youran will say that the person is already plagued by sin and cannot be cured by magic medicine.
However, the serious diseases on the grassland are basically wound, gangrene, infection and the like.
Penicillin can basically cure it.
There were several patients with high fever, and their fever went down immediately after one injection!
At this moment, those who were half-believing and half-doubting all knelt down and paid homage to Taoist Master Youran.
After the miracle was demonstrated, Taoist Youran started preaching in the Lanlu tribe for three days.
When he left, everyone in the Lanlu tribe began to worship the Taoist Master.
Taoist Master Youran was treated like a national teacher, and Qihar's son accompanied him almost all the time.
After preaching in the Lanlu tribe, Taoist Youran said to Qihar: "Great Khan, I am going to a more bitter and cold place to spread the great Dao of the Taoist Master."
Qihar didn't expect that Taoist Youran was not greedy for fame and fortune.
He has personally appointed Taoist Youran as the national teacher, and his treatment is better than that of the nobles of the Lanlu tribe.
However, Taoist Master You Ran still lived a simple life with simple meals and lodging, and had no interest in the rewards.
Now he is leaving here to preach in an even colder place.
This time Qihar was truly impressed from the bottom of his heart.
He said to Taoist Master Youran, "Can you please leave one of your disciples behind to continue preaching in my Lanlu tribe?"
Taoist Priest You Ran nodded: "No problem."
Qihar said, "I have a grandson who is at an age where he likes to learn and be active. I would like to ask you to accept him as your disciple and let him 'enlighten the Tao' by your side. Do you think it's okay?"
Taoist Master You Ran immediately said, "Of course, I will definitely teach you everything I know!"
The next morning, a team set out from the Lanlu tribe.
There was a little kid from Beimang in the team, dressed as a Taoist boy, waving goodbye to his father and grandfather behind him.
Li Tian still doesn’t know what happened in Mobei and the grassland.
He was so happy at this moment!
The construction of the Beijing-Luozhou Railway encountered problems as soon as it began.
Railway construction is very dangerous.
The Ministry of Works conscripted the Jingzhao Yin's corvée to send people from the Kyoto area to participate in the railway construction project.
Originally, corvée labor was done by the li, with a few people from each li.
There are ten households in one mile, so it is not excessive for each of the ten households to send three or four strong laborers.
But there are too many dignitaries in Kyoto.
Those officials naturally had the privilege of being exempted from corvee labor.
In some places, petty officials also found ways to avoid corvee labor.
Only ordinary people have no way to escape.
The most exaggerated thing is that there were three labor quotas in one village, and all of them went to one family.
