Chapter Twenty-Three: The Suzaku Manifestation

After a day of intense training in the evening, everyone was so exhausted that some people didn't even want to get up again after lying down, so that no one else walked around the camp except the sentries.

At this time, the silence in the camp was terrible, everyone was silent and the mood was extremely heavy, after all, they are now anti-thieves, this huge identity change has caused great psychological pressure on everyone, and now they are more confused and helpless in the future in addition to panic.

But just when everything was quiet, there was a sudden sound of strange birds chirping, which resounded through the sky and woke up everyone in the camp at once. The sentinels looked around, but the camp was empty. Immediately after that, a burst of dazzling divine light suddenly flashed around the camp, as if a god and ghost had descended, and everyone in the camp was instantly attracted by this vision, and they walked out of the tent to discuss.

"What's going on? It's not haunted, is it? ”

"Don't scare yourself, there's a ghost in this world?"

"How not! My second uncle was scared to death by ghosts! ”

"Look! That's what's going on! ”

And while everyone was talking, someone let out a cry of surprise.

It turned out that the sky was actually lit out of thin air with colorful and brilliant firelight, which was unusually gorgeous and strange. So much so that everyone was instantly attracted by the vision in the sky, but the fire only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace. At this time, everyone didn't know what was going on, but just when everyone was extremely anxious and uneasy, the battle flag in the center of the camp suddenly changed strangely.

I saw a circular circle of fire suddenly appear under the flagpole, and a fire dragon quickly climbed up the battle flag along the flagpole from the bottom up, and the battle flag instantly emitted a crimson light, and at the same time, the Vermilion Bird ornament on it seemed to be alive and fluttering.

Zhu ...... Suzaku God is alive! ”

A person was stunned when he saw it, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"Ahh The great god Suzaku has appeared! ”

"Really...... Oh my God! ”

"Suzaku God bless! Suzaku God bless! ”

"Amitabha! Amitabha! ”

When everyone saw it, they were shocked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and kept muttering words like asking for the blessing of the Suzaku God. At the same time, looking along the battle flag, they found that next to the battle flag, the tent of the leader Li Yun was also exuding a strange divine light at this moment! Under the illumination of this divine light, a huge Suzaku figure appeared under the rock wall behind the tent, and the Vermilion Bird on the rock wall spread its wings and flew to change its posture, which was very mysterious!

Everyone was in awe when they saw all this, and they all bowed down in reverent worship for fear of angering the gods. However, all this came and went quickly, and soon everything disappeared, and only everyone was still kneeling and immersed in the mysterious spectacle of Fang Cai, until a long time before everyone dared to raise their heads.

"Big ...... Big brother won't be the reincarnation of Suzaku Divine Monarch! ”

At this time, I don't know who suddenly said it, and everyone started talking about it when they heard it.

"It must be, otherwise how could the eldest brother's tent glow?"

"That's it! If it weren't for the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, how could the eldest brother know so many things! ”

"Humph! I'll just say that it's right to follow the eldest brother, you are still reluctant, now you know that the eldest brother is the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch and is dumbfounded! Ma boldly pointed to a few people with a smug expression.

"That's right! You are afraid of a ball, the eldest brother is the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, and the gods can't do anything! As long as you follow the eldest brother and work hard, you can be a founding hero in the future! Hou San also fanned on the side.

"Hehe, I knew it was right to follow my eldest brother!"

"No wonder the eldest brother is so powerful, it turns out to be the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch!"

At this time, Li Yun was watching the reactions of everyone outside along the gap in the tent, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, for this big drama at night, he had been preparing for a few days. In the feudal era, most of the things that wanted to start things had to be done with the help of ghosts and gods, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had a fish belly brocade book, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the White Lotus Sect, and Liu Bang beheaded the white snake in Mangdang Mountain, because it was easiest to unite people's hearts with this method.

It was not difficult to create such a disorienting effect around the camp, it was nothing more than mixing gunpowder with some different metal powders and then throwing it into the air and igniting it.

As for the effect of the Suzaku manifestation, it was also very simple, Li Yun smeared gunpowder mixed with iron powder on the flagpole in advance, and used gunpowder to draw the pattern of Suzaku on the flag, so that when ignited, it would produce a crimson fire. And the figure of the Vermilion Bird on the rock wall is also very simple, it is projected by him using the principle of small hole imaging.

In this way, in order to chase a girl who likes magic in college, Li Yun joined the magic club to learn a few simple magic tricks, so it was easy to complete tonight's performance.

Thinking that Liu Bang just stepped on an earthworm in Mangdang Mountain, he boasted that he had killed the son of the White Emperor, so Li Yun was also a time-traveler from the Great Heavenly Empire, and it was not too much to claim to be the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch.

However, this way of gathering people's hearts under the guise of ghosts and gods is actually not clever, whether it is Liu Bang's killing of the white snake or the reincarnation of Suzaku tonight, it is actually easy to debunk when you think about it. It's just that in this case, people need a belief and a psychological pillar, so they are willing to take the initiative to believe.

Just like modern social science has proliferated, religion is still widespread, and there are even fanatical religious groups like the Islamic State. Religious believers also know that there are no gods in the world, but they are still willing to offer the most devout faith to their religion. Because some people need a spiritual pillar in their hearts, even if they know its fake and ethereal, they can still support them and burst out with great power.

And the drama of the reincarnation of Suzaku directed by Li Yun is also because of this, they naturally have no confidence in everyone to resist the powerful Qianyuan Empire, so Li Yun must give them a psychological support. And everyone wouldn't really care if Li Yun was really the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, all they wanted was a thought. Anyway, there is no way out, and now that they have psychological support, and there is a leader who leads them, they will naturally follow. So Li Yun didn't lie to them, he just gave them a reason to hypnotize themselves.

This is why in ancient times, those who rebelled could gather a large group of rebels with some seemingly ridiculous stories. However, this method can only be used once, and if you use it too much, it will be inferior, because the Qianyuan Empire has developed to the peak of feudal society, and there is gunpowder, so it is easy to get through it if you use it too much. And this kind of thing is completely different from goofing, this layer of window paper is not broken, then everyone will believe it is real and fight for it. But if it's a goof, it's cheating, and it's easy for the team to break up, so it's important to stop in moderation.

The incumbent Li Yun can claim that he is the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, so as to deify himself and gather people's hearts and establish his absolute leadership in the team. But he must not let his team become a cult, because since ancient times, cults have been unable to succeed. Therefore, this scene must grasp the scale, and Li Yun will not admit that he is the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, and he will not deny it, this ambiguous attitude is the best. Because this is the most mysterious, only by making everyone feel mysterious can they gain their awe, and things are not mysterious.

And Li Yun just wants to establish this kind of mystery and inscrutable in the hearts of everyone, just like the Bodhisattva worshiped in the temple, even if he knows that it is a clay sculpture, people still kneel in front of him and still have awe. Because bodhisattvas never speak, and those who worship are always scared of themselves, only by not acknowledging them will people be convinced of this.

Tonight, everyone was destined to have trouble sleeping, whether it was the shocking speech during the day or the mysterious and strange Suzaku appearance at night, it was difficult for everyone to calm down. At the same time, the remarks that Li Yun was the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch were also very loud, and with the deliberate guidance of a few people, soon the people in the whole camp were convinced of this, and everyone did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
