Chapter 126 Clues (3/3 Alliance Leader terryf)
That statue of god seems to have existed for a long time!
Gao Yu couldn't remember it clearly. When he passed by Ganoderma Lane, he did not care about the existence of the statue and shrine.
Now, seeing a word from Master before his death suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The Tao will not be the Tao!"
That's what Master said.
At that time, he took Gao Yu and walked past Ganoderma lucidum alley, and stayed in front of the statue for a moment, and then expressed his feelings.
But Gao Yu was still very ignorant at that time, so he didn't ask questions.
Now, he saw again that his feelings for his master suddenly had a trace of enlightenment.
"A group of people worshipping Bodhisattvas, but they don't know what kind of Bodhisattvas they worship."
Dr. Tea pushed the brewed Qibao Lecha to Gao Yu.
Worship the Bodhisattva?
No, that is not a Bodhisattva, but a Ming Zun!
The Ming Cult was originally called Manichi. It was a religion established by the Persians during the Western Jin Dynasty, which was softened by the ancient Persian Zorosa, Christianity and Buddhism. It believed in light and praised the ten virtues. Believers' cultivation skills mainly focus on abstinence and silence, and advocated vegetarianism, fasting and praying as daily tasks. Later, it was introduced to China and soon established itself with Buddhist doctrines.
However, in the Song Dynasty, especially during the Huizong period, Taoism was respected.
Manichaeism, which was originally listed as a branch of Buddhism, was eager to gain a foothold in the Central Plains after the Huichang Dharma.
Therefore, they integrated Taoist teachings in large quantities and introduced the concept of "Da Ming Zun", which was recognized by countless people, and was even included in the Taoist system to some extent, and was quickly popularized and promoted in the southeast region.
Before Gao Yu came, he specifically found some information about the Ming Cult.
He knew that although the Ming Cult introduced the concept of Daming Zun, its essence was still influenced by Buddhism.
For example, the lotus platform of Daming Zun is exclusive to Buddhism.
In order to distinguish the lotus platform from Buddhism, the lotus platform of Ming Cult will have petals downwards, also called the lotus platform overturned. Because of this, Buddhism is extremely dissatisfied with the Ming Cult, and even speaks badly in open and secretly, saying that the believers of Ming Cult are "food, vegetables and affairs."
Qingxi Pavilion is the base of the Ming Cult?
Qiu Miaofa's letters leave clues about Zhong'an Bridge, and those who detonate suicide are clearly fanatical believers. According to Gao Chong, the songs sung by those believers before their death were called "Ode to the Great Light", which was created by the Ming Cult.
From this point of view, Qiu Miaofa is a believer in the Ming Cult.
Could the "Zhong'an Bridge" left in his letter be Zhong'an Bridge Street and Qingxi Pavilion?
"Guest, are you interested in the Bodhisattva?"
When Dr. Cha saw Gao Yu inquire, he asked with a smile.
Gao Yu was stunned and looked at Dr. Tea.
His brain turned rapidly and he whispered: "That's not a Bodhisattva, but a God of Ming."
"ah?"
"I recognize that rosette. The rosette is facing upwards, the rosette is facing downwards, and the rosette is facing downwards."
As he said that, Gao Yu smiled and continued, "I'm not hiding it from Doctor. I was originally from Hangzhou. Later, I followed my parents to do business and settled in Bianliang. I often went to the Western Regions. I heard people talk about the "Ming Cult" in the Uighurs, and I entered the church under the guidance of a priest. Later, I returned to Bianliang with my parents and never met the Ming Cult brothers again."
This tea shop is located at the entrance of Ganoderma Lane.
It can be said that the people entering and leaving Lingzhi Lane can see clearly every move inside.
Gao Yu didn't know who was the decision of the Ming Cult now, but he felt that judging from the scale of Qingxi Pavilion, he was a capable person.
How can a person with ability be unprepared?
"I see!"
Dr. Tea showed a sudden look, but did not mention the Ming Cult again.
Gao Yu didn't ask, and after eating a few more cups of tea, he got up and walked out of the tea shop and walked west along Zhong'an Bridge Street.
Dr. Tea, who was smiling, slowly disappeared.
He thought about it and attracted a guy. After whispering a few words in the ear, he walked out of the tea shop, crossed Zhong'an Bridge Street, and headed straight for Lingzhi Lane. At the same time, the guy also left the tea shop and followed Gao Yu.
Dr. Tea did not enter through the main entrance of Qingxi Pavilion, but walked through the corner gate.
"Lao Tang, why did you come here at this time? Could it be that something is wrong?"
The architectural layout of Qingxi Pavilion is a three-story restaurant in front of it, and there is a garden of nearly ten acres behind the restaurant.
In the garden, there are pavilions, towers and terraces, and rockery and lakes are connected. It is obviously a matter of effort to build the building and the environment is very quiet.
In a water pavilion on a lake, a man sat upright.
He is burly and dressed in a simple manner.
He is a handsome man. When he smiles, dimples will appear on his cheeks, which has a kind of temperament that makes people feel good.
"Brother Seven, someone came from the tea shop just now."
"oh?"
"He said that he was from Hangzhou, and later he went to Bianliang with his family and joined the religion in the Uighurs.
It can be seen that he seems to be interested in Qingxi Pavilion. I have ordered Chen Tai to follow the man and come to know with you at the same time."
When the man heard this, he immediately became interested.
"How do you see that he is interested in Qingxi Pavilion?"
"It's not considered as if it's about Qingxi Pavilion, it should be interested in our statue of Mingzun.
He could recognize the overturned lotus platform, so he must have known Mingzun. But I didn’t ask much at that time, so I could only let him leave.”
"Are you joining the religion in the Uighurs?"
The man was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
"Seven Buddhas, do you want to contact him?"
"Not for now, just send someone to secretly monitor him. Don't alert him."
The man stood up, stretched his waist and said, "The Lord is still preparing. We need to step up the raising of money. Don't delay the Lord's official business. Qiu Miaofa is smart. The Lord asked him to guide the Bible, but he... Now, the government is very careful, so we should be honest and subtle... If there is really a situation, let Zhu Biao come forward."
"good!"
"You continue to monitor the tea shop. If you have any news, please inform me immediately.
By the way, there is one more thing... Is there still no news about that Taoist priest of Yiqing? Is there any clues when I found Yiqing last time?"
"this……"
When Dr. Tea heard this, he looked embarrassed.
"It's all because Zhu Biao was shocked. If he didn't take action at Jade Emperor Temple and sent someone to follow and monitor, he might have taken down that person long ago.
So far, there is no news about that person.
I have ordered Shen Gang to step up the search... Seven Buddhas are worried. Shen Gang is a famous local snake in Hangzhou, with three or five hundred people under his command. As long as that person is still in Hangzhou, he will definitely be found. What's more, he was injured by your big handprint by Brother Qi."
The man nodded and did not blame Dr. Tea.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I will return to Qingxi in ten days to discuss matters with the Lord of Heaven."
It would be better to find the Taoist priest Yiqing... Lao Qiu said that the jade talisman in his hand is of great use to the Holy Lord. If he gets the jade talisman, he will get twice the result with half the effort. If he can't get the jade talisman, Lao Qiu may have to find another way, and it will be troublesome at that time."
