Chapter 390: The ability of the god stick to fool people
In fact, the internal structure of this cult is somewhat similar to that of the MLM organizations of later generations. The members have a strong sense of territory. Because once he has won over others to join the church, as an intermediary, he has enough advantages to take.
This kind of sectarian organization is prone to die-hard loyalists, and most people enter it to escape reality or to gain a lot of benefits.
In times like these, once you get involved with gods and ghosts again, things get extremely complicated.
Lord Xiang's position in the sect is not very important, but he has at least twenty or thirty people under his command. The twelve incense masters are all trying their best to win over the congregation, because once the congregation is affirmed by the hall master or even the Taoist master, the incense master can get a lot of benefits.
This kind of benefit, some are medicines that can cure diseases, some are gold and silver wealth, and some are the right to take away life and death, and even the other party will make empty promises, once the Ye dynasty is overthrown, these people who obey the will of heaven are equivalent to having the merit of the dragon. Even the eternal and eternal favor of the Heavenly Dao, and those who can become immortals after death.
Such a splashing effort, as the lowest people, they didn't even dare to think about it before, but now they are within their reach. In addition, if you believe in the other party's ability to communicate with the immortals and gods of heaven and earth, you will think that you are doing the right thing for heaven, and if you can succeed in the future, you will inevitably be favored by heaven, and you will have a smooth journey from now on, rich and glorious.
Therefore, the competition between the twelve incense lords is fierce.
Xiangyang was originally a juggler, full of hunger, life was extremely unstable, and because of his status, he was a job that made a living by selling his crafts, and he was often humiliated but he couldn't fight back. For a long time, Xiangyang has become an extremely hateful person for the rich. Especially for those who wield power, there is a strong hatred.
At first, it was just to see that those evil young people who bully men and women or the wayward eldest lady is not pleasing to the eye, but gradually, even if it is a good-hearted person, as long as he has money and rights, he will hold a resentful mood, so one day, the cult suddenly rose, under the banner of the emperor's inhumanity, and there were even rumors that he wanted to overthrow the Ye dynasty and redivide the country, Xiangyang was immediately attracted.
He successfully entered the church, and even became the owner of incense in a short period of time. When he goes out to pull people, he works very hard, and he is also very good at his mouth. The important thing is that he was originally a juggler, and he was very quick to get started with some small tricks, so he was promoted all the way to the incense master, and he really relied on his own skills.
This place has always been a place for him to win over his followers. Of course, not every time he needs to take action personally, if the twenty or thirty people under his command can pull others into the church, he can also get a part of the benefits as the incense master.
Since he entered the church, he has earned more money than he has saved from juggling for a few years, and his life has been much more nourishing than before, and his vanity has been satisfied with the people in his twenties and thirties. Don't look at his hatred of the power-grabbers, but that's just because he is the one who is being played by the power-grabbers, so he can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour. But if there is a **** himself who has become a power-grabber, and he can play with the fate of others between his hands, he will only think that it is his piety that touches the heavens, and these are what he deserves.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu, a strange 'newcomer', is robbing his customers on his territory at the moment, which makes him very resistant.
Special Fang Xiaoyu is still a woman, and she is a beautiful woman. This pair of skins alone is enough to attract many people.
If he is raised by other newcomers on his own territory, where will he put his face?
"Which class are you? Shouldn't you report yourself when you ask someone about it? Fang Xiaoyu sat still steadily, and there was no surprise on his face, as if he had expected the other party's inquiry from the beginning.
"I am one of the twelve incense masters, and Xiangyang is also." The other party seems to be very proud of this identity. Of course, he will not be satisfied with this, he hopes that one day he can become a hall master or even a Taoist master, and control the life and death power of most sect members in his hands, and become an admirable existence.
"I'm still a man who can take care of things." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said to himself: "In this way, what you say is probably also of some value." As soon as he said that, Xiangyang felt trembling all over his body for no reason, like an ice cellar.
"Who are you?" Xiangyang retreated for some reason. After all, he was originally just a juggler, and he had never seen much of the world before he joined the church, and he could only bow his head and pretend to be his grandson in the face of rich and powerful people. Although he became a small leader after joining the church, what he has been doing is just walking the streets and alleys to do some tricks to fool the ignorant people, he has always been inferior in his bones, and in the face of the momentum of the superiors, he will instinctively retreat.
What's more, Fang Xiaoyu's experience is complicated, and her temperament is relatively unique, even if she deliberately reins in her domineering spirit on weekdays, she can always affect people like Xiangyang, who are timid and inferior.
"You don't recognize me?" Fang Xiaoyu felt a little funny, so he deliberately teased him and said, "I am the immortal in the sky, who has come down to earth to rule over you demons and monsters, and you are not just arrested?" ”
Xiangyang frowned, and said in his heart that this woman can fool people better than him? Is this when people are fools or what? How can the other party say this kind of nonsense without shame?
But Xiangyang thinks like this, but others don't think like this.
At this time, most of the people in this restaurant recognized Fang Xiaoyu. Because this restaurant is close to King An's Mansion and Zhenyuan General's Mansion, Fang Xiaoyu also comes often, and many people have seen her. In addition, Fang Xiaoyu is also a big celebrity in the capital, just her status in the emperor's heart, as well as her identity as a 'Buddha girl', are enough for many people to know her.
At this time, it was the first time that Fang Xiaoyu publicly admitted that she was an immortal in front of so many people. This, coupled with the identity of the Buddha girl who has two official certifications of the Kuzen Temple and the imperial court, although Fang Xiaoyu said these words in a joking mentality, there are still many people who believe it and think that Fang Xiaoyu really admits her extraordinary identity, which makes people who trusted her at the beginning even more excited.
Especially the benevolent brother who had just drunk and his body had been greatly improved, looking at Fang Xiaoyu's expression at this moment, he was extremely pious, and he almost knelt down to bow and worship, his eyes were misty, and he was grateful for the gift from God.
Xiangyang discovered these people's strange reactions in time, and his heart was even more puzzled.
Why did the other party say such things that were obviously like magic sticks, but these people seemed to believe it as if they were true, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with these words?
At this time, one of the people he had originally tried to win over mocked: "You don't even recognize her, and you still say that you are the one favored by Heaven?" After saying that, the look of doubt on his face stung his eyes deeply.
He couldn't help but start imagining Fang Xiaoyu's identity, guessing if this woman was still a master?
"You are so bold, in broad daylight, you dare to come out and bewitch the public. Who gave you the courage to speak out, and how to shake the stability of the great inheritance? If the court is in turmoil and the people are displaced because of your evil words, will you die to atone for your sins? Is the master behind you trying to rebel? Fang Xiaoyu's expression still had a gentle smile in his expression, but the words he said were so cold that people could hear a hint of coldness.
Everyone present was stunned, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was completely different from Fang Cai.
And they heard some questions from Fang Xiaoyu's short words.
First, Fang Xiaoyu, an authentic Buddhist girl, spoke, these people are not good things, they are all demons who exist to shake the country's foundation.
Don't look at the fact that these cult people have openly insulted Buddhism and Taoism, and some people in the two religions have come forward to refute the rumors, but with little success, because many people who have no belief in ghosts and gods, although they are in awe of ghosts and gods, do not believe that Buddhism and Taoism can really communicate with God and Buddha and give people light.
However, Fang Xiaoyu is an outlier. This is actually due to the emperor's good propaganda. The emperor united with Master Xuyun and pushed Fang Xiaoyu to the forefront, once the emperor had issued an edict to tell the world, about the previous heavy snow that had not been seen in a hundred years, about the plague with many casualties, and about the plague in the land of Beiyan, it was because of Fang Xiaoyu's prophecy that it could be stopped in time and saved countless lives.
The people in the capital, there are not a few who have been saved because of these events, they are equivalent to receiving the favor of Fang Xiaoyu, and Fang Xiaoyu, whether it is a Buddha or not, is their benefactor first. And how Fang Xiaoyu could accurately predict the heavy snow and plague had to make them guess.
A little guidance may make people believe some fabricated lies, not to mention, Fang Xiaoyu did predict the disaster in advance, but the method of prediction was a little different from what she said.
Coupled with the strange experience of the businessman Fang Cai, and Fang Xiaoyu's more sophisticated methods. Whether it's true or not, what you see with your own eyes is always more convincing than what you hear.
Second, from Fang Xiaoyu's words, they imagined a punishment after joining the cult, that is, ten thousand deaths to atone for their sins. And what does it mean to forgive sins?
First of all, a person can die once, and then that's the next life. Although there are rumors about the existence of the underworld, and there is also the theory of reincarnation, but in the same way, there are also rumors of the eighteen layers of hell, and there are also rumors such as the immortal path and the animal way.
Fang Xiaoyu is a Buddhist woman, although she has never been a monk, but she is the messenger of Buddhism in the world, and Buddhism has a relatively complete system explanation of reincarnation.
If they want to die for forgiveness, this can't help but remind them of a terrible punishment. That is the so-called eighteen layers of hell, and the reincarnation of the animal path.
How to die in this ten thousand deaths, isn't it up to the gods to have the final say? If you anger the gods, what will happen to you?
Secondly, Fang Xiaoyu deliberately nodded, she invisibly planted a language seed in the hearts of everyone present, and the content of the seed told them that the Dao Ancestor behind the cult was probably trying to rebel.
At first glance, it doesn't sound like much. The cult made a special trip to oppose the imperial court and the emperor, and there were already signs of rebellion, but no one said it so blatantly. However, Fang Xiaoyu pierced this layer of sand paper, and when it was revealed that this cult was related to Ye Shucheng in the future, everyone would immediately think of Fang Xiaoyu's words today, which invisibly had the effect of setting things right in the wavering hearts of the people.
But that's not all. At this time, it is time for a few high-ranking monks and Taoist masters to come out.
I have to say that the Xuyun monk's statement of fooling the emperor about the war of gods and demons is not useless, although it pitted her badly, but it was unexpectedly useful at this time.
Why do cults exist? Why are you always the enemy of the court and the emperor?
This origin is far away.
This goes back to the fairy world and is related to the war between gods and demons.
The emperor believed in Buddhism, and as an emperor, he naturally received the favor of heaven, which was equivalent to a branch of Buddhism in the world. The Buddha's compassion naturally hopes that everyone in the world can be happy. But the Adversary is different.
Since ancient times, good and evil have not been opposed. Buddhism, Taoism, and others are decent immortals, and they are inseparable from the murderous demons, and the result is, of course, endless.
The imperial power represents the right path, and the cult that is the enemy of the imperial power is naturally the force that the devil has fostered. Fang Xiaoyu didn't even want to completely deny the fact that the other party would also use some immortal methods, that is, he wanted to shape the other party into the messenger of the demon in the world, and then further let everyone know the ugly face of the cult.
That's the premise.
Buddhism, Taoism, and the imperial court have been angry for so long, if it weren't for those ignorant people, they wouldn't have been so passive. And now is the time to fight back.
In the next few days, several high-ranking monks, masters, and Taoist masters led by Master Xuyun would begin to preach about the battle between gods and demons in the fairy realm within the range of their temples and Taoist temples. He also pointed out that this cult is the messenger left by the devil in the world, in order to destroy the paradise on earth, cause the displacement of the people, collect the grievances of the victims, and then use it to deal with the righteous path.
At this time, the emperor issued another edict, saying that the Buddha had a dream and ordered him to abide by the responsibility of the king and save the lives of most good people. In the tone of plea, he asked everyone to stay away from the cult and not to be an accomplice of the devil, and the status of the cult will inevitably be even more shaken at this time.
And the key part is the unbelievable event that happened in his previous life that Fang Xiaoyu knew. As long as we wait until that incident happens, and then cooperate with her prior arrangements, the cult will definitely not have any room to survive. And through the cult, she can also completely erase Ye Shucheng's existence. By the way, give the spy of the king of Mongolia a smoke bomb that is enough to make him stumble and become a thousand hatreds.
"Princess, what will happen to those who join the sect?" One was worried. One of his relatives joined the cult. He also kept encouraging his family members to join the church. As he said, several people were already moved, which made him really unable to. I came to the restaurant this time to meet these missionaries and see their tricks. It would be better if it could be debunked, so that those prodigal sons could turn back.
"Brainwashed by demons, deceived by demons, and shaken the fortunes of the country, his sin should never be reborn. They are being used by the devil, if they don't repent in time......" Fang Xiaoyu shook her head, her heartbroken appearance completely brought out the essence of her magic stick, and scared the person who asked the question.
What a grave sin it must be to not be born forever.
But Xiangyang frowned, he felt that Fang Xiaoyu was bewitching the public, he was a magic stick, he didn't expect that he was actually confusing the people at the beginning, and he was a real magic stick. (To be continued.) )
