Chapter 495: "Silent" God
Mu Xingfu took out a thin stone, on which was painted with red paint a villain with very simple lines, except for being thin and bald, no features could be seen. This was given to her by someone before she left northern Xinjiang, and the specific person flickered, only saying that this thing is very effective, and carrying it can bless her all the way safely.
"Can you help me find out, what is this?"
Seeing this simple and primitive thing, Qiaoya was also curious: "Okay." β
The next day, Qiao Ya brought several things: stone flakes similar to Mu Xingfu's, cloth pieces, jade, rubbed paper, etc., and all of these things depicted an abstract figure.
But on the whole, compared to the primitive piece in Mu Xingfu's hand, these are much clearer.
A bald-headed walker with a blurred face. Mu Xingfu picked up the rubbed paper - the image on it was the clearest, and only this one drew his sunken cheeks.
The simple lines reveal infinite depression and coldness.
"This is called 'silent', which began to appear in northern Xinjiang about ten years ago, and has now slowly spread to the entire Dagu. At first, the First Moon Pavilion thought that this was done by an organization that intended to rebel in the name of 'God', but after investigation, nothing was found. In addition, the people who believe in this 'god' are all low-level people, and the structure has always been very loose and has no deterrent effect, so it will not be over. However, I heard that this 'god' is quite effective, so his followers have slowly spread from the bottom to the top, and the statues have developed from the most primitive stone paintings to brocade silk embroidery statues and jade carvings. β
Mu Xingfu's expression was a little strange, and his lips were already a little pale when he heard it. "Becoming an immortal and becoming a demon is just a thought", he has already gained so much faith power now, and if he continues to develop, what will he do?
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Stop him. β
"What?"
"Find all the statues that belong to this person and destroy them all. At the same time, the imperial court had to issue a ban on spreading anything about the 'silent' gods. β
"Why? Is he a bad guy?"
"No, he's a good guy. Mu Xingfu paused, gritted his teeth and tore the rubbing paper into pieces, then looked at the mess all over the ground, and showed a broken smile, "But I'm a bad person!"
She doesn't want him to become an immortal or a god, she just wants to drag him to death and stay in this world.
Mu Xingfu's smile made Qiaoya feel frightened, because at that moment she really thought that Mu Xingfu was a bad person as she said, but soon she came to her senses: "It's not!"
Mu Xingfu calmed down and looked at her.
"Mademoiselle is a good man," Qiao Ya stubbornly declared, "and a good man will be rewarded." β
Before Mu Xingfu could respond, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the door. Qiao Ya listened to it and widened her eyes: "Plug?"
opened the door and went out, and it was Xue Jing and Bolt who were fighting in the yard.
"Stop!" Mu Xingfu shouted.
The two of them withdrew their hands at the same time, and when the bolt looked over, they showed doubts.
"What a big boldness, when has Xue Mansion become a place where you can set foot in the First Moon Pavilion!" Xue Jing said in a deep voice.
"Jing'er. Mu Xingfu stopped him and looked at Li Wei, who was still silent but was already a dignified man, "Bolt, long time no see." β
"You are?"
"I'm Xue Ying. β
This sentence made the usually dull plug show a look of horror, but he quickly recovered his facial paralysis: "I see. β
"Bolt, why are you here?" asked Qiaoya.
"Yesterday you asked me about the 'silent' God, and today, the 'silent' God is out of the ordinary. β
Mu Xingfu suddenly lost color: "What's wrong with him?"
"The 'silent' god began to appear, and the people's word of mouth was also deliberately induced, with the intention of riding the wind and expanding the believers. β
Qiaoya was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
Mu Xingfu bit his lip: "It means, he ...... Want to become a god?"
"If this development continues, the national capital of Dagu will be shaken. It's hard to say whether you become a god or a demon. β
The more Qiao Ya listened, the more confused she became: "Why is it still involved with Guoben? Who is this person, so powerful?"
The bolt didn't answer, looking at Mu Xingfu.
A servant came in a hurry: "Young master, the young master of the Liang family is visiting." β
Xue Jing was worried about Mu Xingfu's matter, and responded absentmindedly: "Just say I'm not there." β
The servant looked embarrassed.
Mu Xingfu said: "Is the emperor coming?"
Qiaoya was anxious and asked the plug: "You snitched?"
"Nope. But since I can see that something is wrong with the Xue family, of course the emperor can also see it. It's just that he probably didn't expect that it was Miss who came back. β
"He also knows the things of God who are 'silent'?"
"I received the news this morning, and he should have seen it by now. β
Mu Xingfu sighed: "It seems that I can't hide, I'll take a look." β
"Sister!" Xue Jing stopped, "Dad won't let you see him." β
"He is the emperor," Mu Xingfu said in a steady tone, "If you want to defeat that person, you can't do without him." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin hitting the ground.
After a long time, Murong Duan slowly spoke: "Who do you say you are?"
"I'm Xue Ying. β
Murong Duan took a step back, sat down slowly, and was silent. He didn't have to question it, since she could gain a firm foothold in Xue Mansion, it meant that she had already obtained Xue Qi's approval, if even Xue Qi identified her as true, then she must be true.
"The matter of the Nine Emperor Uncles has something to do with you?"
Mu Xingfu shook his head: "He shouldn't know that I'm back." β
Murong Duan glanced at the bolt standing behind him: "Since Li Wei is here, he must have already told you." However, in addition to the report from the Chuyue Pavilion, I also received an urgent secret report from the Hui Mansion - the Nine Emperor Uncles have now begun to incite the believers to rebel. β
Mu Xingfu frowned slightly: "What does he want to do?"
Murong sighed: "I originally wanted to ask you." Believers in the 'silent' God are the lowest people and are the most easily incited. If this continues, once the situation gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable. But his whereabouts are elusive, and even if I want to talk to him, I can't find anyone. β
A voice came from outside the door: "It seems that I need to go out to find someone myself." β
Mu Xingfu turned around: "Dad?"
Murong stood up: "Lord Xue." β
"I've been worried about him for 10 years, and it seems that my fears have come true. β
Mu Xingfu asked, "What do you mean?"
"When you die, he's insane. The things he did for Jiangbei seem to be great, but to put it bluntly, it is madness that does not kill him. When people go crazy, they go to extremes. He has done extreme good deeds for ten years, but he still can't alleviate the pain in his heart, and after his ability to bear reaches the limit, he will turn to the other extreme. β
"Heβhe's not that kind of person. Mu Xingfu retorted, but he was a little lacking in qi.
Xue Qi looked at her meaningfully: "That's because you haven't seen that look." If it weren't for me who killed you in the first place, I am afraid that he would have slaughtered all the people in the world to vent the resentment in his heart. β
