Chapter 3 Visits

There are many Ganwang temples in various places in Guangxi, and there are also many believers. The God worship religion established by Hong Xiuquan only believes in God the Father and is a monotheistic religion. The other immortals were naturally crooked and evil in his eyes. In order to expand the influence of the worship of God and win more people to join the worship of God, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan chose to destroy the largest Ganwang temple in Xiangzhou to create a momentum and promote the worship of God.

This temple was smashed, and the movement was also disturbed. However, a local landlord could not get used to it, and sued them to the yamen with a complaint, and the charges were very large. Saying that worshipping God, gathering people to make trouble, beguiling the people, trampling on the gods, etc., the most terrible thing is the last sentence "Clearly for preaching, but actually for rebellion", which frightened the government.

The local magistrate did not dare to slack off and sent an inspection to investigate. Hong Xiuquan happened to be absent at the time, so he arrested Feng Yunshan and brought him back to Yamen and put him in prison. Then Hong Xiuquan was shocked when he heard the news, Feng Yunshan was his right-hand man, and he tried to rescue him, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to go to the governor of Liangguang to ask for an explanation, and left here to go to Guangzhou. The remaining worshippers gathered in the ruined Ganwang Temple, with no leader and people's hearts fluctuating.

The original believers in the Ganwang Temple have long been scattered, and this place has become a temporary foothold for worshipping God. In a wing room in the east of the temple, Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui were talking about their current situation worriedly.

"Big brother, why did you stop me from teaching Niu Er this kid today. If you don't give him a little bit of power, there will be more people who leave without permission in the future! Xiao Chaogui opened his clothes, and the anger in his belly had not yet disappeared.

Yang Xiuqing glanced at him, "The problem is not something that can be solved by shouting and shouting and killing, you beat Niu Er today, and there are other people tomorrow, how many can you fight?" This is not a problem that fists can solve. ”

"What then? I don't know when Sect Master Hong will come back. Xiao Chaogui's mind was also a mess.

"Now it's a matter of calming people's hearts, everyone is not leaving, they don't have a bottom in the future, and their hearts are not steady." Yang Xiuqing sat on the chair and said slowly.

"There are hundreds of us, and none of us have an idea. A snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head. Big brother, why don't you set up a banner and lead everyone to do it together. Xiao Chaogui grabbed Yang Xiuqing's arm and said excitedly.

"You think I haven't thought about it? We're too young, and I'm afraid those old poles in the church will not accept it. "Yang Xiuqing is only twenty-eight years old after all, and his qualifications are indeed a bit shallow.

"Who dares to disagree, who in the charcoal party is not afraid of us?" Xiao Chaogui stretched out his arm and said disdainfully.

"It's been said a long time ago, it's not a fist problem. This is the church, not a fist. Chaogui, don't think about fighting whenever something happens, use your brains. Yang Xiuqing was a little speechless about this brother, this guy is a good hand at fighting, but he is too impulsive.

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work out. This... This... I'm in a hurry. Xiao Chaogui walked around in the wing, his heart was like an ant on a hot pot, irritable.

"Knock knock, knock knock..." There was a crisp knock at the door.

"Who?" Yang Xiuqing's expression was more alert.

"I'm Yang Xiaoshan."

After Yang Xiaoshan arrived at Ganwang Temple, he settled his and Qiaomei's luggage, and also inquired about the current situation of the God Worship Sect, and he immediately had an idea in his heart. found the organization, what Xiaoshan was most afraid of was being pushed to the front line as cannon fodder, and before his ambition was realized, he gave his life, wouldn't it be a loss, and now is a good opportunity for himself to improve.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Yang Xiuqing asked again.

"I have something important to say to Brother Yang." Yang Xiaoshan was still a little nervous in his heart, the first time he faced the East King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the future, whether he could gain his appreciation or not depends on his performance this time.

Yang Xiuqing gave Xiao Chaogui a look and nodded. Xiao Chaogui walked over and opened the door. Yang Xiaoshan walked in with a sense of caution.

"This little brother looks a little dumbfounded, is it from Bauhinia Mountain?" Yang Xiuqing glanced at Xiaoshan up and down and asked slowly.

"Yes, Brother Yang. I am also a charcoal worker in Bauhinia Mountain, burning charcoal on the mountainside of Niu Er. Yang Xiaoshan tried his best to show a kind of neither humility nor arrogance.

"Oh? Well, we've seen it today. Yang Xiuqing recalled the situation of chasing Niu Er, although he didn't notice this kid at the time, but he did have such a personal impression.

"Brother Yang, I have something important to say." Yang Xiaoshan still didn't hold his breath, and glanced at Xiao Chaogui as he spoke.

"Just say something, Chaogui is his own brother, it's okay." Yang Xiuqing was also curious about what important things would happen to this unsociable child.

"Before coming here, I choked on charcoal smoke and fell asleep on Bauhinia Mountain for two days. In my dreams I met God the Father. Yang Xiaoshan said very sincerely, pretending to be very honest.

"Really? Have you met Heavenly Father? Xiao Chaogui looked surprised.

"Chaogui, let him continue." Yang Xiuqing's face was expressionless, and she couldn't tell whether she believed it or not.

"Heavenly Father said that I usually participate in too few doctrinal activities, which is why I have this life fear. But for the sake of the fact that I have accumulated a lot of virtue in my previous life, I came to save my little life. Yang Xiaoshan sorted out his thoughts, and he made up this story before he came.

"Don't worry, Chaogui will set up a bench for this little brother and let him speak slowly." Yang Xiuqing behaved unhurriedly.

"After the Father rescued me, he said that I was too stupid, and slapped me on the forehead twice, and when I woke up, I felt that I had suddenly opened my mind, and many things that were vague before, but now they are much clearer." Yang Xiaoshan took the bench and sat down, watching Yang Xiuqing's expression closely as he spoke.

"That's all?" Yang Xiuqing glanced at her lips.

"When Heavenly Father rescued me, he took out a roster and circled the page of my name. Then I turned to the next page and I saw a name. Yang Xiaoshan deliberately sold a pass.

"Who?" Xiao Chaogui asked excitedly.

Yang Xiuqing glared at him and didn't speak.

"It's Brother Yang's name, Yang Xiuqing. Brother Yang, has Heavenly Father ever come to look for you? Xiaoshan asked Yang Xiuqing rhetorically.

"Are you literate?" Yang Xiuqing didn't answer, but this time he spoke in a tone that was obviously a little heavy, with a strong question.

Yang Xiaoshan's brain suddenly buzzed, in his previous era, literacy was normal, and everyone was literate. But in this era, the illiteracy is the vast majority, and the number of literate people is very small, how can a charcoal burner be literate? This is a huge flaw.

"Yes, I am a refugee from Bauhinia Mountain, and when I fled, a Xiucai had nothing to do and taught us children some three-character scriptures, and I still know simple words." Fortunately, Yang Xiaoshan is not a native of Bauhinia Mountain, and this lie can still be fulfilled.

"Really? Chaogui, take a thin stick, and let this little brother write my name on the ground. Yang Xiuqing turned his head and said to Xiao Chaogui. He was illiterate, he only knew his own name, and he wanted to test the authenticity of Xiaoshan's dialect.

Yang Xiaoshan is not afraid of this, he can already write, so he writes very calmly. Especially the word Yang, he is very careful and uses traditional characters. The characters are not very beautiful, but they are neat, and the strokes are clear.

"Yes, those are those words." Yang Xiuqing nodded again and again, it seemed that he believed most of it. Suddenly, his expression froze, as if he had thought of something, and then his face was happy. "Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan, for telling me such an important matter."

"It's nothing, Brother Yang, it should be, it should be." Yang Xiaoshan secretly praised in his heart, he could react with a slight hint, this person is too smart.

"Then I'll go back." After Yang Xiaoshan finished saying what he had prepared in advance, he got up and said goodbye.

"Hey, there's no hurry. You didn't want anything for such an important thing, you told me? Yang Xiuqing looked at Xiaoshan with a smile.

"Well... I really want something. Yang Xiaoshan stood still and retracted his steps.

"Oh? What do you want? Yang Xiuqing was still smiling, but she smiled a lot in her bones.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I don't have any oil and water in my stomach, can I give a piece of pork belly to eat?" Yang Xiaoshan made a look of anticipation.

"Hahaha... Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui both laughed, and this time they really laughed.

"You kid, I don't have pork belly here, but I have more than 100 copper plates here, which is enough for you to go to the restaurant and have a good meal." Yang Xiuqing took out a small half-hanging copper coin from his arms and handed it to Xiaoshan.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yang, I'm welcome." Yang Xiaoshan knew the importance of his tips to Yang Xiuqing, he was not in a hurry, this favor was sold to him, and he would never just pay for this meal in the future.

"Your surname is also Yang? It's my own family, we will be my own brothers in the future, if there is anything to inform my brother, my brother will definitely help. Yang Xiuqing thinks that Xiaoshan is a good child, he is also smart, and he is literate, and he is a talent worthy of deep friendship.

This is what Yang Xiaoshan wants, and being able to get in touch with Yang Xiuqing is almost the purpose of his trip. After some politeness, he left the wing.

After sending Yang Xiaoshan away, Yang Xiuqing calmed down. "Chaogui, you go and call Lai Jiu, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang and a few of them, I have something important to ask them to discuss."

"Okay, big brother." Xiao Chaogui was about to go out.

"Wait a minute." Yang Xiuqing thought about it for a while, and then ordered, "You go and touch the bottom of this Yang Xiaoshan again." ”
