Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 117 Long thoughts


Scenes of traveling and studying in the Western Continent in the past flowed slowly through my mind like running water. What a relaxed and happy time it was, carefree and free. My classmates and friends in my youth have already Some blurred faces seemed to become clear again at this moment, Wufeng leaned on the big chair, stroked his forehead with his hands, completely immersed in the memories of the past, and did not even notice that the study door was quietly opened.

It wasn't until the unique faint body fragrance entered Wufeng's nose that Wufeng woke up from his contemplation.

"Brother Feng, what's the matter, is there something wrong?" Next to Airang, the slender girl leaned gently on Wufeng's body.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I have some feelings when I recall the past." Wufeng has not yet completely freed himself from the emotion of recalling the past, his eyes are still a little confused, the memories of the past have brought him too much, let him It was difficult for him to adjust for a while.

"Oh? Then Brother Feng recalled his travels in the Western Continent? Then tell me about it." When Xianxiu Li heard that she was interested, she grabbed Wufeng's arm and shook it.

Lovely pinched the beauty's pink cheeks, and simply embraced the beauty into his arms. The fragrance was tangy, and the smooth body twisted in his tiger arms, making his heart tremble, "Well, what do you want to hear?"

"Of course I want to hear about your romantic affairs over there. Could it be that I also want to hear about what you are studying over there?" The beauty also answered narrowly.

"Damn girl, how dare you tease me? At that time, I was at what age, and I didn't want to get anything else. I only knew about traveling and gaining insights, or I was studying in school. I couldn't think of these aspects at all. Now It's really a pity to think about it." Wufeng shook his head in admiration.

"You're not coquettish enough, I think you won't be too lonely in those schools, right?" Beauty laughed jokingly.

"Student Qia is young, in full bloom, with a scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Qiu, and the dung was once a thousand households." Wufeng's eyes are still full of nostalgia, and his tone is full of yearning, "I can't remember which sage said this It’s really well described, and it vividly describes the situation of us studying and studying in the college.”

Seeing the nostalgic look on his Ailang's face, the beauty who was sitting on Wufeng's body couldn't help being a little curious. But she still remained calm, which really surprised her.

"Brother Feng, you have been traveling and studying in the Western Continent for so long, how are the customs and customs of the Western Continent different from ours?" The curious beauty gently grabbed Airo's tiger's neck, With winking eyes like silk, Tan Kou asked softly.

Hearing the beautiful woman beside him ask such a question, Wufeng couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Silly girl, how can the difference between the customs and customs of the Western Continent and ours be explained clearly in two sentences? If you want to explain in detail Come on, I'm afraid it won't be over for three days and three nights." Seeing the beauty showing a girly look in front of him, Wu Feng's heart was shaken, and he unconsciously climbed up the twin peaks of the beauty in his arms .

Twisting her body, the beauty pouted and said, "Huh, there must be a big difference, right?"

"Hehe, there are many big differences. There are different races, different customs, different languages, and different beliefs. The differences are too great." Smiling, he lifted the button of the cheongsam on the beauty.

"No, it's not good to be here, Brother Feng, let's go back to the room." As if seeing what Ailang was thinking, the considerate beauty smiled coquettishly, and quietly attached her cherry lips to Wufeng's. He whispered in his ear, "The sisters are waiting for you in the room."

Wufeng felt hot, so he wanted to get up and carry the beauty back to his room, but when he thought about the situation that Diao Su came to report just now, he had to think about it as soon as possible and come up with a more appropriate countermeasure. Discuss with Xiao Tang and Su Qin that such important matters cannot be delayed, and then sit back with a sigh.

"What's the matter, Brother Feng, what's on your mind?" Liren immediately and keenly sensed Airang's absent-mindedness.

"Well, there is something, I have to think about it." Wufeng didn't want to hide it any more, and said lightly, "Not everything that has been handed down from the Western Continent is good. For example, believing in religion seems to be more important than The people of our empire are much more trustworthy."

"That's not necessarily the case. There are not a few believers in the empire who believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Many temples are prosperous, and monks and Taoists can get tax relief from the empire. Even the land property of temples can also get tax relief. Why? Happy to do it? It’s just that our Northwest seems to be not very prosperous in this area due to various reasons.” The beauty beside her replied casually.

Beauty's Wuxin's answer pierced Wufeng's mind like a bolt of lightning. It was only then that Feng realized that he had found the wrong person to vent his anger on, and hurriedly comforted the angry beauty.

That's right, since both Buddhism and Taoism are quite prosperous in the empire, the Northwest has also become a vacuum zone for religious forces due to historical reasons and a large number of immigrants in the later period. If there is a religious vacuum, it is better to act first and attract Buddhism and Taoism that are in line with your own interests and are willing to use for yourself to develop. It is also good to fight this holy spirit religion. At least the original Tang residents of the empire still tend to Buddhism and Taoism Those who teach the two religions at least have the upper hand on this point.

Thinking of this, Wufeng suddenly became enlightened. This is a good idea. No matter whether it succeeds or not, at least it can maintain a balance of power in the religion of this side, and no one religion will occupy an absolute advantage.

Looking at it further, in fact, the intricate martial arts sects of the empire are also a supplement to religious beliefs, especially those martial arts sects that believe in Buddhism and Taoism in name, such as Changchun Jian Paideng, who believe in Taoism in name Yes, and sects like Daxiangguo Temple and Baima Temple obviously rely on Buddhist teachings to cultivate disciples' moral cultivation while practicing martial arts as disciples, and they can also play the role of sects restraining disciples.

As for lay schools like Tianshan School and Xueshan School. Although he did not explicitly express his own moral beliefs, judging from the school's rules, it should be between Taoism and the traditional moral concepts of the Tang people. This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for these foreign religions such as the Holy Spirit Sect to gain a firm foothold in areas where the Tang people occupy an absolute majority. After all, the customs and traditions of thousands of years cannot be abandoned in a day or two.

However, since religions such as the Holy Spirit Sect can prevail in the Western Continent for a while, there must be reasons for their survival and growth. Wufeng has always believed that if a thing can survive in the world, it must have a reason for its survival. If it continues to grow and develop, it means that this thing must have strong vitality, that is to say, the surrounding environment must provide it with a foundation that is very suitable for its development and growth.

Just like the Holy Spirit Sect, it must have had the same deep-seated reasons for its popularity in the Western Continent. After all, business, economic, cultural, and trade exchanges between the East and the West are becoming more and more frequent, and it is unrealistic to isolate the spread of these ideas and teachings. But if you adopt a laissez-faire attitude, things will also get out of hand, which requires you to take appropriate measures to deal with it.

It seems that someone once said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Wufeng can't remember exactly what the water and boat refer to in these two sentences, but they use it as a metaphor for religious power and local rulers. Wufeng thinks it is quite appropriate. There are not only one or two regimes that have been overthrown due to the intensification of religious conflicts in various parts of the mainland. Isn’t the Taiping Sect in front of us also using the guise of religion to accumulate people’s hearts? IndoMTL.com~ Taking advantage of the decline of the empire Did they take advantage of the current situation to make trouble? Their purpose could really be to make the people of the world live a better life. Li Wufeng didn't believe their rhetoric at all. Of course, the Holy Spirit Sect is somewhat different from the Taiping Sect, but Wu Feng felt that those two sentences inspired him a lot. Since the power of religion is water, the territorial government under his control can naturally be a boat. How can the boat not be caught by the water? Overturning, and using the power of water to successfully reach the other side of the boat, this is a matter of testing the skill and ability of the boat operator.

Seeing her Ailang fell into deep thought for a moment, even the clutches poking into her corsage were just subconsciously wriggling. The beauty who was sitting on Wufeng's body knew that Ailang must be thinking about some important issues. It is also like a docile kitten nestled quietly in Ailang's arms, silently enjoying the rare moment of warmth.

Complicated past events swept through Wufeng's mind like waves one after another. Moreover, it can also have an unimaginable influence on the regimes of the countries in the western continent that is unimaginable on the eastern continent.

When I left the Western Continent, the Holy Spirit Church in the Western Continent seemed to be undergoing a huge change, but because I was busy returning to my hometown, the distance between the two places was too far after I came back, and my understanding of that place was also limited. It's blocked a lot, but Wufeng firmly believes that those fanatics who believe in the Holy Spirit Church will look east sooner or later, because when I was studying and traveling in the Western Continent, I had rejected countless missionaries and pastors. Goodwill" persuasion. When the time is right, will those guys who use the influence of the Holy Spirit Cult to bathe every corner of the continent with the so-called holy grace, will they give up the vast Eastern Continent?
