All-Heavens Star Chart

I heard what Chen Yun was telling me, and the expressions on their faces immediately became ugly to those in the audience who had just heard about it.

When the Ming Dynasty was newly established, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang expressly prohibited all kinds of heretical sects, among which is included Bailianshe, Mingzun Sect, Bai Cloud Sect and so on.

Because the main figures of rebellion in the past dynasties, basically all have the background of this kind of heresy.

For example, Fangla of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Yao of Zhongxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Liu Futong of Han Shantong in the late Yuan Dynasty, etc., are all.

Even the current Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, when he started his family, used the power of these heretical sects.

Officially, because he knew how harmful these sects were, Zhu Yuanzhang would turn his head and list these sects as heretical taboos after unifies the world.

Anyone who dared to spread the witchcraft Fuluan prayer holy, book charm water and other techniques will also be regarded as a heresy of treason.

For this reason, the Ming Dynasty specifically set up a law related to these heretical sects and sorceries in the “Law of the Ming Dynasty.”

“The mortal witch falsely descends on Evil God, book spell water, Fuluan prayer saint, self-name Duan Gong, Grand Guardian, master, and falsely claim Maitreya Buddha, White Lotus Society, Mingzun Sect, White Cloud Sect and other meetings, all responses are the techniques of left-way chaos.

Or hide pictures, burn incense to gather people, gather at dawn at night, and feign good deeds to incite people’s hearts.

Leader Strangled, the servants each rod a hundred, and exiled three thousand miles!”

All the leading people were hanged, and even the followers were to be blamed for one hundred, but exiled three thousand miles. miles away.

Such penalties are not serious, which shows that the Ming Dynasty really did not have any tolerance or compromise for heretics.

Now a sect belief has suddenly spread in Youyu County. How can everyone here calm down?

Although in the Law of the Ming Dynasty, the godless god of faith is not positioned as an Evil God heresy.

This birthless mother is not a belief enshrined in heretical sects such as Manichaeism, Mingzun religion, and White Lotus Religion.

But everyone in it, they are equally unsure that this is not the Evil God belief that was compiled by other emerging heretics sects to confuse the people’s hearts.

Therefore, everyone here has maintained a full vigilance in the heart of the mysterious sect in Youyu County that began to spread the faith.

Looking at the cautious and heavy people below, Zhou Chen’s heart could not help but surge.

He slowly leaned on the back of the seat, and secretly thought about the memory of that birthless mother.

For the sudden appearance of the godless god of faith, other people present may feel very strange, but Zhou Chen knows something else.

Among the information that Zhou Chen knows, Wusheng Laomu is a kind of belief that arose during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.

This new belief deity originated from Luojiao, also known as Luozuism, Wuweijiao, or Great Ascensionism.

Luo Sect is born out of Buddhism, its founder is Luo Menghong, also known as Luo Qing, Shi Jing, Luo Huai and so on.

In order to compile the teachings of Luojiao, Luo Menghong created a Supreme god from folk myths and legends, that is, Saint Ancestor.

Wuji Saint Ancestor, also known as the inanimate parent, later became the inanimate mother, and was enshrined as the Goddess of the Supreme in the world by the doctrine of Luosect.

She is both the Creator and Savior, compassionate and powerful.

In the teachings of Luojiao compiled by Luo Menghong, he popularized his own understanding of the Three Sects classics of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and formed a very simple and understandable language.

So when the doctrine of Luojiao was first spread, it was immediately welcomed and believed by the poor in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, other heretics circulated secretly in the Ming Dynasty, in order to compete for the belief of the lower classes, they also unanimously combined the doctrine of Luojiao into their own doctrine.

This also made the overwhelming majority heresy of the Ming Dynasty directly or indirectly enshrined the belief in the birthless mothers proposed by the Luo Sect.

Looking at these heretical cults, especially the White Lotus Religion worships birthless mothers the most.

In some scriptures and doctrines of White Lotus Religion, even the unborn mother is the highest worship, and the vacuum hometown is the ideal realm.

At the same time, the mantra of “vacuum hometown, no parents” has spread because of this.

It is precisely because Zhou Chen knows a little about the newborn deity, the unborn mother, that he is the one who is most annoying among all the people present.

If the people who are spreading beliefs in Youyu County are the Luosects, then Zhou Chen would not worry much.

However, if the sect that spreads the belief of the unborn mother is the White Lotus Religion, then the situation here is completely different.

White Lotus Religion originated in the Tang and Song dynasties, and was also born out of the teachings of Buddhism.

The early White Lotus Religion worshipped Amitabha and advocated reciting the precepts of the Buddha, stipulating that believers should not kill, steal, commit adultery, speak falsely, or drink alcohol.

White Lotus Religion calls on believers to respect their ancestors. It is a secret group that is half monk and half secular.

In addition, the teachings of White Lotus Religion are very simple, and the scriptures are relatively easy to understand. They are welcomed by the lower classes of the world and are widely believed in.

It is precisely because the believers of this White Lotus Religion are very large, so they are often used by those who are interested to form rebellious forces.

The participation of the White Lotus Religion is absolutely indispensable for the public rebellions that have occurred in various dynasties and generations.

Even when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the support of the White Lotus Religion was indispensable.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang’s army had two forces in the army, one was Mingzun Sect and White Lotus Religion, and the other was Li Shancai and Liu Bowen.

Zhu Yuanzhang relied on these believers to win the world, but he was afraid of the power of these sects, so after he ascended the throne of God, he tried his best to suppress Mingzun Sect and White Lotus Religion.

In this way, the strength of these sects was weakened, so that they could not have the opportunity to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

However, even so, the absence of White Lotus Religion can never be extinct.

In the eighteenth year of Yongle, Tang Saier, then White Lotus Religion Saintess, set off another peasant uprising in the east in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the rebellious uprising was finally suppressed by the Daming Imperial Court, the instigator Tang Saier still retreated to the people.

Even if the emperor Ming Chengzu Zhu Di killed nearly 10,000 female Taoist priests and nuns in Shandong at that time, the whereabouts of White Lotus Religion Saintess Tang Saier is nowhere to be seen.
