#2069 - A battle between faiths
The conflict of faith was not concentrated in Yuhua Prefecture, Fengxian County, and other places, but in the surrounding areas of Yuhua Prefecture and Fengxian County.
Due to the influence of the Prison God's faith in Yuhua Prefecture, Fengxian County, and other places, a situation of coexistence of two faiths has formed in those areas.
If two faiths appear in one area, it is naturally difficult to merge with each other, and conflict is inevitable.
Among them, Yuxia Prefecture, which is close to Yuhua Prefecture, is one of the most obvious representatives.
Through the influence of the Yuhua Prefecture incident, many people in Yuxia Prefecture also began to regard the Prison God as an object of worship and faith.
However, the original Western Heaven Buddhist faith still serves as the mainstream and controls certain rights, so conflict is destined to occur.
Those people who believe in the Prison God established Prison God Temples in Yuxia Prefecture, offering sacrifices to the Prison God statues to express their piety.
This made the officials of Yuxia Prefecture and some Buddhist believers very dissatisfied, led by Sima Lan, the chief official of Yuxia Prefecture.
"Tear down the Prison God Temples and expel those rebellious civilians who have betrayed Buddhism."
Sima Lan is also a loyal believer of the Western Heaven, and he will not tolerate those people changing their faith.
Under Sima Lan's order, soldiers, along with some loyal Buddhist believers, directly and forcibly went to tear down the Prison God Temples.
"You rebellious civilians listen, by order of Lord Sima, no other faith is allowed to exist within Yuxia Prefecture. Civilians who do not believe in Buddhism will be expelled from Yuxia Prefecture."
The soldiers shouted orders to the people who were offering sacrifices in the Prison God Temple.
Hearing that they were going to forcibly tear down the Prison God Temple and expel the people who believed in the Prison God from Yuxia Prefecture, those people naturally became angry.
What is faith? Faith is a person's spiritual pillar, a kind of belief sustenance. As the saying goes, the army can be deprived of its commander, but a common man cannot be deprived of his will.
"Why are we not allowed to believe in the Prison God! You are acting like bandits."
"Doesn't Buddhism say that everything is predestined? Do you have to force people to believe in Buddha?"
"You even want to expel us from Yuxia Prefecture. Such officials are clearly lackeys of the Western Heaven."
The people were in a state of agitation, confronting the soldiers and those Buddhist believers, and neither side would give in.
"The Prison God is the true God and Heavenly Lord who saves the world!"
The people who believed in the Prison God shouted, expressing the piety of their faith.
"Buddha is the savior and saint who protects us!"
Buddhist believers were also shouting loudly to show their momentum.
More and more people gathered on both sides. In just half an hour, the number of people gathered on both sides had reached tens of thousands.
Seeing so many people gathering, even the soldiers were a little panicked.
If these tens of thousands of people clashed, they would not be able to control the situation with just these soldiers.
"Quick, report back immediately and request that troops be dispatched to come."
The soldiers wanted to go back immediately to report the situation here.
In such a situation, someone, no one knows who, first threw a stone and hit a Buddhist believer on the other side.
"They attacked and injured our people."
The people who believed in Buddhism saw that someone on their side had been injured, and in their excitement, they began to actively attack the other side.
"Buddhism is too deceiving. How can we let them humiliate us? Defend the majesty of the Prison God."
The people who believed in the Prison God also began to take action.
Tens of thousands of people on both sides launched a great melee in this Yuxia Prefecture City.
Although the people did not have any hard weapons or any teamwork ability, the number was indeed too large.
Moreover, as the battle continued, the number of people on both sides not only did not decrease, but increased rapidly.
This is because faith can unite people. Fighting to defend faith can form a very strong cohesion.
While the number of people in the melee was increasing, it also began to spread to the entire city, and the entire Yuxia Prefecture became a battlefield.
In such a situation, there were also some petty thieves and bandits who wanted to fish in troubled waters and do some illegal and criminal activities.
The entire Yuxia Prefecture was in chaos. The people in the city were fighting each other, and the situation was completely out of control.
"Quick, mobilize the 30,000 troops outside the city to suppress the chaos."
As the chief official, Sima Lan, looking at the situation in Yuxia Prefecture, was somewhat dumbfounded.
He did not expect that he would cause such a chaotic situation by simply ordering the demolition of a Prison God Temple.
"Lord, I'm afraid that won't work. Even if the army enters the city, it won't be able to control the situation at all."
Yuxia Prefecture also has 30,000 troops, which is usually enough to maintain law and order and guard the city.
However, the current situation is a chaotic situation of melee among hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Yuxia Prefecture. Those 30,000 troops will not be able to play much of a role in the face of hundreds of thousands of people.
Moreover, the situation is so chaotic that the city gates and streets are almost completely blocked, and the army cannot enter the city at all.
"Then we can only escape from the city first."
Looking at the chaotic situation, Sima Lan felt that the situation in Yuxia Prefecture was extremely chaotic, and his mansion seemed extremely unsafe.
Helplessly, Sima Lan and some of his subordinates could only sneak out of the city. Yuxia Prefecture became a land without management.
The entire chaotic situation lasted for two full days before it gradually stopped.
During these two days, Yuxia Prefecture was almost unrecognizable. The number of people killed and injured was countless. The final result was that the faction that believed in the Prison God gained the upper hand.
Although the chaotic situation has stopped, Yuxia Prefecture has undergone a fundamental change in its faith. Believing in the Prison God has begun to become the mainstream.
After learning of this news, Sima Lan, the chief official of Yuxia Prefecture, did not dare to return to the city at all.
Yuxia Prefecture has also become a region of self-government by the people, just like Yuhua Prefecture.
Of course, the result of Yuxia Prefecture is considered to be relatively good, and there are also results that are not good.
Situations similar to that of Yuxia Prefecture are constantly being staged in the surrounding areas of Fengxian County and Yuhua Prefecture. Disputes and chaotic situations appear one after another.
"What should we do?"
Seeing such a situation, the King of Tianzhu Kingdom felt a headache.
These surrounding areas are naturally basically under the jurisdiction of Tianzhu Kingdom. After losing Fengxian County and Yuhua Prefecture and other places.
Then such a situation occurred again, and the foundation of Tianzhu Kingdom has already been shaken, which made the King of Tianzhu Kingdom feel terrified.
Because this is just the beginning. The situation in the future will be more chaotic, and the areas involved will become larger and larger.
"Prison God, it's all caused by this Prison God."
The King of Tianzhu Kingdom angrily cursed. This struggle based on faith naturally originates from the source of faith, that is, Chu Hao, the Prison God of the Three Realms.
