Chapter 3712: The day of meeting

The cruel, cruel, complicated doctrine, solemn sense of ritual, and the attitude of praying for death caused a qualitative change in the number of followers of the main road after it reached the scale of 10,000.
First of all, the attitude of the secular people towards the main way shows a two-level division, either in awe, or fear, or yearning, or hate, without neutrality.
But no matter what the attitude is, the power and knowledge of the leading elites is beyond doubt, so the Twelve Apostles, while spreading the doctrine and recruiting believers, gradually began to make their name.
At the beginning, some independent cities, trading towns, or small lords spent a lot of money to hire apostles, participate in wars, or solve various problems on the territory, such as disasters, conflicts, contradictions, and so on.
Whenever the apostle receives an invitation, he will send a letter to the Holy Land of the Lord's Way. For this kind of invitation, the Holy Land of the Lord's Way often agrees, because letting the world see the power of the Lord's Way is an important way to attract believers.
Thus, the Twelve Apostles began to use their fists.
In many small-scale conflicts and wars, the shadow of the twelve apostles appeared.
There was also an apostle who served as an adviser to the king and was finally promoted to the national teacher. This apostle stayed with the king and always conveyed the doctrine of the doctrine to him. Many years later, the king, because of his longing for the doctrine, Converted to the faith of the main path and established the main path as the state religion of his kingdom.
More than a decade later, nearly half of the six million people in this kingdom have converted to the main way!
That is three million followers.
The main path is divided into the ranks of believers, the highest protector, the second is the apostle, and the third is the devout. The three levels and the three identities all need to pay a considerable price and perform asceticism to obtain, but the lowest-level believers have almost no threshold. Yes, as long as you are willing, you can become a believer in the main path.
But the main path is indeed scary.
Religious wars broke out in this small kingdom. Believers of other doctrines, people who questioned the orthodoxy of the main way, and a large number of people who were afraid of the main way formed rebel forces, fighting each other fiercely for several years.
As the master and apprentice of this small kingdom, he sent a request for help to the holy land of the main road. Meng Fan personally ordered to send a hundred devotees to this kingdom, and ordered an apostle to also go to the kingdom. This kingdom issued an "Edict".
The edict declared that all the Taoists in the kingdom should take up weapons and behead the infidels. If they die in battle, they are dedicated to themselves and put into the arms of the Supreme God.
Huo, if you kill a hundred infidels, you will be eligible to go to the main road holy land, and you can even live in the main road holy land.
Those who fear war will all be abandoned by the faith in the main path.
This edict, coupled with a hundred devouts and two apostles, made the believers of this kingdom into a frenzy.
The resistance was suppressed in just a few months, and the remaining remnants of the party were also arrested and killed.
After this war, the kingdom became more pious in the faith of the Lord.
One year after the war completely subsided, the king asked to enter the main road holy land and worship Meng Fan. If Meng Fan is willing to reward this kind of grace, he is willing to donate half of the wealth accumulated in the treasury to the main road holy land for expansion. Even a thousand young boys and girls were sent to the Holy Land as slaves.
Meng Fan agreed.
The king did not ride horses all the way, he walked completely, with a horse convoy, a group of guards, and a thousand young men and women. After two months, he arrived at the main holy place.
When he arrived, the king was already in ragged clothes, but he insisted not to wash, in order to express his devotion to Meng Fan.
In the end, the king obtained the qualification to live in the main road holy land, but the guardian clearly told him that no matter what his status, blood refining sacrifices will be carried out in the main road holy land after a few months, and then everything will live in the main road holy land. All believers must participate in blood refining sacrifices. If they do not want to participate, their status as believers will remain, but they must leave the Holy Land of the Main Road, and within a hundred years, they are not allowed to enter the Holy Land of the Main Road.
By this time, the tradition of blood refining sacrifices had lasted for more than one hundred years and had been carried out nearly two hundred times.
At this time, there are already eight or nine thousand pilgrims from all over the main road holy land. Therefore, this time the blood refining sacrifice will involve a lot of people, and in the end, there will not be only twelve surviving followers. The main path of the Holy Land announced that this time the blood refining sacrifice will retain 180 survivors.
After meeting with Meng Fan, the king thought for a few days, wrote back to his kingdom, made his eldest son the crown prince, and arranged the apostle who served as the national teacher as the regent, and then resolutely chose to participate Blood refining sacrifices.
A few months later, the blood refining sacrifice began. The king himself was also a powerful martial artist, and his realm and strength were not weak, so he became one of the 180 survivors.
But instead of challenging the apostle, he chose to practice asceticism for fifty years.
So far.
Main faith, start
With explosive growth, a large number of devotees were qualified, churches were established in various places, and doctrines were preached. The Twelve Apostles became important ministers in many countries, and were even regarded as demigods.
The number of believers in the main path has also increased rapidly. Once some kings of the kingdoms believe in the main path, even if the main path is not established as the state religion, it will affect many people to convert to the main path together. Once converted, it means that they will be subject to the main path. With the blessing of Tao, you can learn higher doctrines, philosophies, and martial arts, so many kings cannot resist this temptation.
A few decades later, the number of believers in the main road reached ten million!
Thousands of believers are providing Meng Fan with amazing power of faith every day, and he has also begun to break through to the realm of God King.
In Meng Fan's view, only when he stepped into the realm of the king can he be the true "god."
After another few decades, the number of believers in the main path has grown to as many as 50 million.
When Meng Fan absorbed the majestic power of faith, he felt a lot of "impurities."
There are many messy emotions mixed in the power of faith.
Explain that because there are too many believers, many ungodly people have also appeared, and even misinterpreted doctrines.
Meng Fan didn't want these messy powers of faith. He issued several edicts to eliminate many misinterpreted doctrines. Then, he asked the Twelve Apostles to begin blood-refining sacrifices in various places.
For a long time, blood refining sacrifices have only been carried out in the holy land, and because of the increase in the number of believers, tens of thousands of believers have gathered in the holy land. Each blood refining sacrifice has become more cruel, and around the holy land, nearly a hundred have gathered. Thousands of believers, they built cities and ports.
This is the first time that Meng Fan allowed the twelve apostles to carry out blood refining sacrifices in various places alone.
Meng Fan requested that every apostle, in the following years, every fifty years, must gather enough devout believers who believe in the main path to perform a blood refining sacrifice, and the number of believers must exceed one thousand. Only one person can survive in the end. As long as any apostle completes a blood refining sacrifice, he will have the qualification to challenge the law protector once and become a new law protector!
At the same time, Meng Fan also issued an edict to warn believers in the world what doctrines are misinterpreted, and all those who misinterpret the doctrines can be regarded as infidels, and any believer can kill them with impunity.
Because of these big moves by Meng Fan, a great distant empire was shocked.
This great empire is an empire of heaven.
