Chapter 1734 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
"What? Is this true?"

The news from the Western Regions was sent to the center like the wind, and everyone was stunned.

Ten years ago, under Zuo Menggeng's provocation and oppression, Quanzhen finally made a painful choice.Under the leadership of Wang Changyue, they embarked on the road to the west.

At that time, neither Zuo Menggeng nor these Taoist priests actually had any thoughts about the future.

Zuo Menggeng is purely a shot if he has dates or not.

Why can Christianity be the vanguard of the Europeans in the colonization process, but the religions of Middle Earth can only be entrenched?

A religion that is useless to the country has no meaning of existence.

For the Taoists of Quanzhen Sect, the journey to the west is undoubtedly extremely difficult and dangerous.

If you are not careful, you may all be buried in a foreign land.

The power of belief is infinite.

At least Zuo Menggeng solved their biggest dilemma.

If the legitimacy of "Lao Tzu's Hu Jing" is not resolved, Quanzhen Sect will never be able to gain a firm foothold.

But if you want to solve this trouble, you can only go west, to Tianzhu.

The trouble should end it.

As long as the Quanzhen sect can make a big presence in Tianzhu, all the previous problems will be solved.

With such a great long-cherished wish, Wang Changyue and his party embarked on a arduous journey.

At that time, the entire Northwest and Western Regions were not yet the territory of the empire.

Years of wars and disasters are full of crises, bad weather, ferocious bandits, hostile beliefs, any of them can kill them.

Eighteen people suffered a lot and paid a huge price. After entering Central Asia, there were only ten people left.

Miraculously, Wang Changyue, the oldest, is as healthy as ever.

Originally, they wanted to travel south to Tianzhu.

Unexpectedly, in the local area, a sudden change made Wang Changyue aware of a god-given opportunity.

In Central Asia at that time, Islam had already prevailed and occupied an absolute dominant position. It stands to reason that there would be no place for other religions to gain a foothold.

But the world is real.

Outside of religion, racial tension clearly reigns supreme.

Because it is located at the crossroads of Asia, the strategic location is very important.Even though the place is very barren, it is still coveted by various forces.

All parties, you sing and I will appear on the stage. Although a series of vigorous epics were staged, it also caused great disaster and pain to the local people.

Before Wang Changyue and others arrived, the local area belonged to the sphere of influence of the Mughal Empire.But when they arrived, the Safavid dynasty of Persia began to infiltrate the local area.

After a series of wars, the Safavid dynasty finally captured Kandahar.

In the process of regime change, the local people became cannon fodder and suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, various resistance movements emerged one after another, causing the ruler a headache.

As the saying goes, monks in prosperous times are Taoists in troubled times.

Seeing the local situation, the genes in the bones of the Quanzhen Taoists were activated.

After discussion, Wang Changyue and others quickly decided to take root in the local area.

In terms of the ability to preach, Quanzhen Sect is inferior to Islamic Sect.

But if it is about how to organize people to rebel and make trouble...

The Taoist priests can pat their chests and proudly say to all the heretics: Come on together.

Wang Changyue and others went deep into the folks. After some understanding, they found that there was a lot to do in the local area, and immediately launched activities.

The resistance of the local tribes is relatively loose and spontaneous.

So these Taoist priests taught people how to organize, how to train, how to manage, and how to increase combat effectiveness.

These are all real benefits and were quickly accepted by the locals.

Then, something magical happened.

The chief of the local Afridi tribe in Plehumli announced his conversion from Islam to Taoism after seeing the power of the Taoists.

In a short period of time, Quanzhen Sect has gained hundreds of thousands of believers in the local area.

The appearance of Wang Changyue's celestial spirit makes the locals admire them very much, even to the point of fanaticism.He not only regarded him as the national teacher, but also served as a Dafa official.

This position is equivalent to the chairman of the parliament and has great influence on the government.

The identities of the rest of the Quanzhen Sect members also began to combine politics and teaching, and merged with the local area.

The Taoist priests were also very panicked, after all, they had never done this before!

There is no other way, then we can only try to transplant the knowledge of Middle-earth.

What "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and all kinds of official and unofficial histories are all applied to local affairs.

The thousands of years of political history of the Chinese nation, in which the content can be said to be varied, has everything that one expects to find, but it has been opened up by the Taoist priests.

In particular, Tan Shoucheng, Wang Changyue's proud disciple, even used the strategy in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to lead the Afridis to wipe out more than 5 Safavid army in the Dushi Valley in one fell swoop, expanding the territory of the Afridis fifty times.

All of a sudden, Taoism quickly became famous in Central Asia.

Many local tribes and people who had been ravaged and oppressed by the Safavid Dynasty and the Mughal Empire transferred their beliefs one after another, making Taoism more and more powerful.

This is also one of the reasons why the forces in Central Asia responded slowly to the great changes in the Western Regions.

After all, a terrible heresy had arisen among them.

In terms of dealing with heresy, Islam is still very ruthless and united.

The Safavid Dynasty, the Mughal Empire, and the Bukhara Khanate reached an agreement to form a coalition and began to wipe out the forces of Taoism.

In the beginning, relying on excellent tactics and good coping, Wang Changyue and others fought successively and won many victories.But with the fight, the huge gap in strength between the two sides was revealed.

After more than five years of war, the territory of the Afridi people has shrunk dramatically, and now they can only occupy the mountains around Plehumri, completely losing the rich river valleys, and are about to run out of ammunition and food.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, the Taoist priests were worried.

They must find new hope.

As a result, by chance, they ambushed a Persian caravan, and learned from the Persian merchants that the empire had begun to march into the Western Regions.

God knows how excited the Taoist priests were when they got the news.

After some discussions, they sent Abu Dumu as an envoy to the east for help.

There is no way, the rest of the Taoist priests are all Han Chinese, and their appearance is too conspicuous in this place, it is difficult to pass through the enemy's blockade.

Even Abu Dumu had a narrow escape.

He was captured by Yarkand people on the way.

Because his identity was suspicious and he couldn't tell his origin, he was thrown into prison.

If it hadn't been for the Wehrmacht, he might have been imprisoned until he died.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and the rapid progress of the National Defense Forces also allowed the great achievements of the Taoist priests to spread quickly across the land of China.

The most excited ones are the Taoist priests from all over the world.

It turns out that if you don't hide in the deep mountains and old forests and devote yourself to cultivating the Tao, you can also make immeasurable merits!

In a short period of time, reinforcements to the Western Regions became a unified understanding within Taoism.

All schools and sects didn't care about the clan disputes at this time, and dispatched a large number of disciples one after another to start trekking towards the Western Regions.

Before the center responded, the religions of Middle-earth finally played their own initiative.
