Section 5 Incense people
Liu Yunwei saw that there were many people burning incense and worshiping Buddha at the gate of the school, many of them were chanting words, and their spirits were abnormally excited, so he couldn't help but be very surprised, and said to Lu Ying beside him: "What are these people doing? What kind of Buddha are they worshipping? ”
Lu Ying thought for a while, and whispered to Liu Yunwei: "Big brother, why do I think these people are so similar to those Miao people in our hometown in Sichuan, do you remember those wizards of the Miao people?" ”
Liu Yunwei was suddenly startled when he heard this, and the mysterious and crazy appearance of the Miao wizard immediately appeared in his mind. At this moment, a word appeared in Liu Yunwei's mind: Cult!
"These people are not worshipping Buddha at all, they are worshipping cults!" Liu Yunwei exclaimed, but saw Lu Ying signaling him to be quieter.
Liu Yunwei frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Yunwei still whispered: "Big brother, I think we need to be careful." ”
"Why? Could it be that these people will still be unfavorable to our Hanwei camp? ”
Lu Ying said: "That's not it, but when I visited the general, I also saw a lot of people worshipping the Buddha in his house, and even the Buddha statue like Maitreya Buddha was enshrined in the study of the general, which shows that the general is the same as these people." ”
Liu Yunwei was even more shocked in his heart, if this unknown cult not only confused fools and foolish women, but even included the generals of a city into the sect, then how great should the strength of this cult be! If this is true, there is such a hidden danger in this important place in Dengzhou, and once something happens, it will be a monstrous disaster. When the time comes, there will be slaves outside the court to plague Liaodong, and there will be a cult in the hinterland, and the dynasty will never have peace!
Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei said to Lu Ying: "Let the soldiers go to the school to rest, and inform the breaker to take someone to the street to investigate immediately; In addition, you called Shangkai and Dangdang, and together with me we went to visit the generals, and we went to the general's mansion to investigate. The rest of the brothers stayed at the school and took strict precautions. ”
Lu Ying received a promise and went to inform everyone, and at this time, most of the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion had already entered the school field and began to rest according to the system. Liu Yunwei rode around the school yard and found nothing abnormal, so he returned to the door and waited for Lu Ying and the others.
It didn't take long for Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Wang Dangdang to come to the gate, accompanied by twenty personal guards and iron horsemen.
Liu Yunwei looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he said, "Let's go, go early and return early." ”
So, everyone rode out of the school field and headed towards the general's mansion. At this time, among the people burning incense at the entrance of the school, there was a middle-aged man with an old face who looked at Liu Yunwei and his party in the distance sneakily, and then looked at the soldiers of the Hanwei camp in the school field for a while, a pair of cloudy eyes turned, and then began to murmur unknown scriptures again.
More than an hour later, Liu Yunwei walked out of the General's Mansion with Lu Ying and others, and the group stepped on the war horse and rushed towards the school field.
Along the way, everyone rode their horses slowly, chatting and looking at the scenery on the street. At this time, Lu Ying said, "Big brother, what do you think of the general?" ”
Liu Yunwei thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I don't see any problem, although many of the subordinates in the general's mansion are incense burners, and the general will also visit the Buddha statue, but I can't see that the general is like a person in the cult." The general's every move was very reasonable, and his speech and demeanor were very normal, and he didn't hear anything between his words, and he wasn't like those incense people. ”
Lu Ying said: "This is very strange, could it be that the general deliberately concealed something, so we didn't see the clues?" ”
"Not really." Liu Yunwei said: "Do you think, the general is the biggest military general in this city, and all the soldiers in the city are dispatched by him, if the general is really a member of the cult, why should he hide it if he has such a big force?" ”
Zhao Kaishan on the side also said: "What the eldest brother said is right, the general should not hide anything, if people want to deceive us, don't you just see us?" It's good to let his subordinates do business, why do you want us to see those people who burn incense in his house? It's a big deal. ”
Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying were both a little surprised, and the two said: "When did Kaishan use his brains so well?" ”
Zhao Kaishan's old face turned red when he heard this, and said: "I've always been like this, it's the eldest brother, you haven't found out, okay?" ”
Everyone said a few words, and walked forward for a while, and Wang Dangdang, who had not spoken much, suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Big brother, look over there, is there something wrong?" ”
The crowd followed the instructions and looked over, only to see a large group of people gathered in a circle on the side of the street, as if they were watching some kind of excitement, and puffs of white smoke rose from time to time in the crowd.
Liu Yunwei was just about to take everyone up to take a look, when he saw that those people suddenly seemed to have seen something amazing, they fell to the ground and kowtowed, and some timid people even knelt there and cried, and everyone looked at each other in surprise for a while.
At this time, Liu Yunwei and others saw that there was still a person in the center of the crowd who did not kneel, and was standing in the middle of the crowd to accept the kneeling of the people, as if he was holding something in his hand, and inadvertently threw it behind him. I saw that the man was dressed like a scholar, but he was thirty or forty years old, standing there and talking proudly. The people kneeling on the ground seemed to be even more excited when they heard the scholar's words, and they all kowtowed and shouted: "Eternal Maitreya!" Elysium! Eternal Maitreya! Elysium! ”
Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "These incense people have really joined the cult!" It was so audacious that scholar dared to preach a cult in broad daylight and in full view of everyone! ”
After speaking, Liu Yunwei ordered Zhao Kaishan to take ten personal guards to come forward to arrest the scholar. At this moment, Lu Ying on the side grabbed Liu Yunwei and said, "Big brother, don't be impatient, let's not act rashly." ”
After Lu Ying finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Yunwei, Liu Yunwei looked around when he saw this, it didn't matter, and he was immediately taken aback: I saw a large number of people surrounding him, kneeling and kowtowing to the scholar, and almost in an instant, the people who surrounded him blocked the entire street.
Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly beckoned the guards to protect Liu Yunwei, and everyone held their hands on the handle of the knife, looking nervously at the crowd around them.
Liu Yunwei sat on the war horse and glared at the scholar fiercely, and said: "This demon can actually bewitch so many people, if this person ascends to the top in the future, won't he become a yellow turban thief in this Qilu land!" This man will be killed! ”
Lu Ying whispered: "Big brother, if this person is the leader of this cult, let's kill him here desperately, but I'm afraid that this person is just a demagogic nobody!" At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao still had thirty-six big disciples and seventy-two square Xiaoqu handsome! ”
"In that case, this disaster will be a big disaster, if it is allowed to develop, it may become a huge disaster like Jiannu!" Liu Yunwei said.
At this time, Zhao Kaishan saw that there were more and more people gathered around, and he seemed a little impatient, so he asked Liu Yunwei: "Big brother, what should we do?" To kill or not to kill? ”
Wang Dangdang, who was next to him, looked at the scholar in front of him and said coldly: "Big brother, you give the order, I will go up and cut him with a knife!" ”
"Wait until I think about it." Liu Yunwei looked at the people around him with a gloomy face, and then looked at the scholar who was reading the unknown Buddhist scriptures aloud, his heart was unusually entangled, and he said secretly: "What Lu Ying said is reasonable, but now I can't be sure that this scholar is the leader of the cult, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be a small character, and it will be useless to kill him, but he will clean up the snake; Moreover, there are so many people gathered here, and the brothers can certainly kill this person by rushing over like this, but it is inevitable that innocent people will be implicated, what should I do! ”
In this way, Liu Yunwei thought for a while before he said word by word: "Let's go!" Let's talk about it later! ”
Everyone obeyed the order, dispersed the crowd in front of them with Liu Yunwei, and rode back to the school field.
When everyone arrived at the gate of the school field, they were once again shocked by the scene in front of them. I saw that hundreds or thousands of people had gathered at the gate of the school field, and all of them were surrounded by an old-faced middle-aged man, as if the believers had seen the gods and Buddhas. And the middle-aged man was the same as the scholars everyone had seen before, standing among the people and explaining the scriptures impassionedly, and every wonderful place attracted a strong response from the people, and they knelt down and kowtowed, and hundreds of people were shouting: "Immortal Maitreya!" Elysium! Eternal Maitreya! Elysium! ”
Seeing this, Liu Yunwei hurriedly looked at the school field, only to see that Wu Xing had already assembled the general soldiers in the rear, and hundreds of ironclad soldiers had completely blocked the gate of the school field, and Wu Xing was standing in front of the formation wearing heavy armor.
Seeing that the school field was not affected, Liu Yunwei's heart stabilized slightly, and said to Lu Ying: "It seems that the scholar just now is indeed just a small character, and the person in front of him should also be a demagogic small character." It seems that this cult has won the hearts of the people in Dengzhou City, and it will become a big mess in time! ”
Lu Ying also looked grim and said, "Big brother, let's go in first, and when the captives come back, we will see if we have heard the exact news, and then decide how to act." ”
Liu Yunwei nodded, and rode back to the camp with everyone, and the group had just pushed aside the crowd in front of them to the gate of the school field, and suddenly found that the people around them had become extremely manic.
Liu Yunwei suddenly looked at the middle-aged man in the middle of the crowd in shock, only to see him chanting the Buddha's name, and shouted: "This group of officers and soldiers is the Heavenly Evil Star, which will bring endless disasters to the entire Dengzhou Mansion, we must let them leave immediately, otherwise Maitreya Ancestor will not be able to protect us!" ”
I saw hundreds of people who had lost their minds shouting: "Eternal Maitreya! Elysium! He rushed to the gate of the school grounds.
Seeing this, Liu Yunwei hurriedly pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted: "Lu Ying, shoot that person!" ”
At this time, the middle-aged man smiled strangely at Liu Yunwei, turned around and blended into the crowd.
