Chapter 568: Spice Fans in the Taiping Realm
The small temple is still cold, which may make people feel very puzzled, even very weird, because there are more than a dozen people in the small temple, but it is still quiet.
These people were wounded, but they did not scream, they did not wail, they did not beg for mercy, they did not even fear!
However, Li Mi was not surprised at all, because in the eyes of these people, he saw the power of faith, and this was the first time he had come into contact with ordinary believers in Taiping Dao so directly.
Although he pursued Zhou Yu along the way, Li Mi also noticed that there were traces of Taiping Dao in various places, but due to the pursuit of Zhou Yu, Li Mi has not been able to gain an in-depth understanding of this group.
I didn't expect that the small temple that stayed overnight turned out to be a masterpiece of Taiping Road!
"Why do you kill?" Liu Zhibei's observation is not much worse than Li Mi, as a team think tank, Liu Zhibei can easily deduce the identities of these people, but he is still a little puzzled, even if he believes in Taiping Dao, he is also a villager in the end, how can this villager and neighbor be so cruel?
Taiping Dao is not a cult, what they seek is fairness and justice, and the slogan they put forward was originally "To the Taiping", believing in Huang Lao, believing that there is a peaceful world, in the Taiping world, there are no corrupt officials and the oppression of the imperial court, and everyone has no worries about food and clothing.
Objectively speaking, the concept of Taiping Dao at that time was still good, in order to fight against the dark ruling class at that time, they used good Taoism to educate the people, and from a fair point of view, Taiping Dao was undoubtedly a righteous move.
Liu Zhibei may not have the consciousness of Li Mi, because he is an ancient man after all, and it is a great rebellion to plot rebellion and overthrow the ruling class.
But in his opinion, no matter how rebellious it is, the purpose of the Taiping Dao to persuade people to do good should not change, why would these believers kill so many people, and still enshrine some of them in this flesh and blood temple with extreme cruelty?
And even if these people take the blame for themselves, they will kill them, but Li Mi and others are just passing by here, but these people come up late at night to kill people, this is indiscriminate killing of innocents!
Of course, maybe they were just worried that Li Mi and the others would find out their secrets, after all, everyone in the village knew what kind of place the wild temple was, so no one dared to come.
Li Mi, these outsiders, if they see something boring, and leave this village to report to the official, it will also be a big trouble, so they have to take action, whether it is a warning or a silence, they will never let Li Mi and the others leave safely.
It's just that they didn't expect that this time they kicked the iron plate!
In the face of Liu Zhibei's question, these people were also silent, and after a long time, someone finally stood up and said to Liu Zhibei.
"You can't run away, you are all impure people, and you are not qualified to enter the Taiping Realm in the future, the more wicked people, the later the Taiping Realm will come, and sooner or later we will kill all of you unclean people!"
Li Mi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, these words are typical cult brainwashing, Taiping Dao has finally degenerated to such a point, relying on alarmism and manipulating people's hearts to achieve their goals, even at the expense of killing innocents!
"You and I have never met, so how do you know that we are impure?"
The man sneered and said, "You come and go in the village during the day, and everyone else has already smelled it, and the impure people are stinky, and they can only defile this world and delay the advent of the Taiping Realm!" ”
"Stinky?" Li Mi hadn't had time to pay attention to this earlier, but when he heard this person talk about it, he took a few steps forward, and really smelled a fresh fragrance on them!
This aroma seems to bring Li Mi back to modern society, there is air freshener, there is the smell of laundry detergent or perfume!
"It's rosemary!" Li Mi's mind was quickly determined, because smell is also a link and factor that cannot be ignored in criminal investigation work, and Li Mi has also put a lot of effort into this aspect.
Rosemary is native to Europe and some parts of Africa, and although it may have been introduced to China during the time of the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei, it was not cultivated and popularized.
These rosemary are estimated to have come from overseas, and combined with the fact that Taihei Dao also has a huge influence in Japan, it is not difficult to get this spice.
It is precisely because this spice has never been seen, so it is most suitable to use it to demagogue, and it is estimated that the Taiping Dao will preach that rosemary is the air of the Taiping world, and it seems that "the air abroad is sweet", this sentence is also applicable in ancient and modern times, and it is most suitable for bewitching the public.
In fact, giving these believers a fragrance is also a common characteristic of cult organizations, and in order to win over demagogic believers, cult organizations usually give believers a unique sense of superiority, making them feel more noble than others, and when the world changes, they can survive, while others are not spared.
This is the usual method of cult organizations, but I didn't expect to let Li Mi run into it here!
And what surprised Li Mi even more was that he seemed familiar with this kind of aroma, but he didn't think about it earlier, that is, Zhang Nayan had this kind of fragrance on his body!
Li Mi inevitably remembered the scene of Zhang Nayan playing happily with those children, if this is the case, will the school be a training institution for Taiping Dao, specializing in cultivating new forces for Taiping Dao?
Thinking of this, Li Mi also had a little numbness in his scalp, which is not difficult to explain why Zhang Nayan didn't go to take the exam, but just used his father as a shield, and was willing to teach in this small village!
In fact, such a primary school does not need to invest a lot of financial resources, only a teacher is needed to be able to organize, how many such primary schools in the world, under the guise of teaching and solving doubts, but instilling the concept of Taiping Dao into the future of the empire, it is really unimaginable!
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Nayan must also be a person from Taiping Dao, and he may still be the backbone, after all, he is educated and has prestige in the village, if a person like him does not have other plans, how can he stay in the poor countryside?
If this is the case, then he must have recognized Li Mi's origin, and the reason why he pretended to be stupid was just to paralyze Li Mi and take the opportunity to let these people clean up Li Mi!
Zhang Nayan can't eat a big fish like Li Mi, these ordinary believers are all mud legs, no matter how much they come, they can't help Li Mi, why does Zhang Nayan want them to go up the mountain to die? Isn't this a surprise to the snake?
After thinking about it, Li Mi was also puzzled, and interrogated these believers, but they have all become chattering one by one, and they are all in the Taiping Realm when they open and close their mouths, and even to the point where the six relatives do not recognize them, and it is not easy to get useful information.
Li Mi then said to Sasuke: "You go to Zhang's house to have a look, and bring Zhang Nayan to me!" ”
Now that he already knew this, Li Mi didn't have to pretend, Sarufei Sasuke got the order, and immediately went down the mountain, his hands and feet were light, and his speed was not slow, and after a while, he returned to the small temple.
"The young man wasn't at home."
"Not at home?" Li Mi's heart inevitably became solemn, because this time they came to Yangzhou Mansion to wait for the rabbit, if the news leaked, the plan to ambush Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong would be in vain!
Zhang Nayan is a person from Taiping Dao, and Zhou Yu and Taiping Dao have been tied together, Li Mi has spent most of the year to travel the world and hunt down Zhou Yu, although he has tried his best to keep a low profile, but everyone knows about the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and Zhang Nayan must be clear!
"I see!" Li Mi finally thought clearly!
Zhang Nayan knew that these ordinary believers were helpless against Li Mi and the others, but he insisted on sending them here, just to delay time!
Li Mi's thoughts are all on these believers, he will have a chance to escape, and he will have a chance to report to the people of Taiping Dao!
Li Mi made such a speculation, Liu Zhibei and the others were also a little anxious, after all, this plan was already a desperate gamble, if they couldn't wait for Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong, they wouldn't want to catch them in the future!
Who would have thought that Zhang Xigao's son would be a person from Taiping Dao!
"What should we do now? In the middle of the night, we are not as familiar with geography as Zhang Nayan after all, how can we catch up with him? Liu Zhibei is a person who is good at summarizing problems, and he quickly put forward his own ideas.
Li Mi certainly knew that as early as when Sarufei Sasuke and Suo Changsheng set up an ambush, they had already surveyed the topography and environment of this village, this village is not like a town, there are city walls and the like, this village is ventilated on all sides, you can go anywhere, just drill into the dark, like a fish released back into the sea.
Li Mi thought about it, and then said to everyone: "Bring these people and follow me!" ”
Although Sarufei Sasuke didn't know why, he believed that Li Mi would definitely have a way, so he drove those believers and followed Li Mi down the mountain.
Li Mi had already visited the village during the day, and he also had an impression of the situation in the village, and after a while, he brought everyone to a pond at the edge of the village.
This pond is used by them to make manure, and it is full of human and animal dung, and they throw grass and ashes into it, and it is black farm fertilizer, which is also stinking and spicy.
In order to hide their identity as believers, they will still do dirty and tiring farm work, and they will still tiny with some smelly things, but at night, or when the ceremonies are held in Taiping Road, the sacrificial wine will "cast spells" on them, so that they can bathe in holy water and be contaminated with fragrance.
Such a gap will give them a strong sense of harvest and satisfaction, and it is also a means for Taiping Dao to manipulate people's hearts.
At this time, they already have the fragrance on their bodies, and their actions are sacred, so seeing this dung pond, the believers are reluctant to step forward one by one, as if they were born to be fragrant Taiping people, not villagers who fiddle with farm dung!
Seeing this, Li Mi knew that he had grasped their weakness, so he said to them: "Where is your altar, hurry up and explain it honestly!" ”
Hearing Li Mi's question, the believers also snorted and sneered, and the person at the head responded even coldly: "It's a dream!" The altar is a holy place, and you unclean people will not be allowed to be defiled! ”
Li Mi didn't bother to talk nonsense, grabbed the man's collar, and threw him into the dung pit with a handful!
"You impure man, you have defiled my spirit! I don't deserve to enter the Taiping Realm anymore, I'm going to die! ”
The man was crying in the cesspool, and it was because they didn't have much culture, and they didn't even know much about the set of things preached by Taiping Dao, so they were so ignorant.
You can never imagine how ignorant and stupid a person can be, when a person has no brains, or has brains but can't use them, either they are in love or join a cult, remember.
Li Mi didn't pay attention to it, but threatened the rest of the people: "I'll only ask once, where is the altar, if you don't say it, you will all be rejected by the Taiping Realm!" ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, those believers were also panicked, looking at each other, and they had no idea!
Li Mi didn't give them enough time to think, and said to Sasuke and Suo Changsheng, "Throw them all in!" ”
