"Master, what are you doing here?"
"Sell our land, sell the house, let's go live in the nest!"
"Are you crazy? How can you sell your ancestral property! ”
"Silly, what do you know?! The missionary brother just told me that the lifeless old mother sent the immortals to come into the world, baa baa (a million words are omitted here)"
"Really? It's so good to be in charge, let's pawn everything and welcome the childless mother."
......
With Yang Guangxiao's order, as well as a large number of core sect members' descriptions of the "immortals", the pamphlet was issued. After being silent for a long time, most of the White Lotus Sect members began to pawn their houses and fields on a large scale to raise money to welcome their childless mother.
People are selfish, and these people joined the White Lotus Sect because they couldn't bear the life of poverty. When they took a few taels of broken silver from the hands of the elder brother of the White Lotus Sect, and let the children who were waiting to be fed have a full meal; When they saw with their own eyes the White Lotus Altar Master cast a spell to revive his terminally ill neighbor with a dose of holy medicine; When they saw that the bullies and corrupt officials who had bullied and oppressed them at will before had been eliminated by the White Lotus Sect's Dharma Protector and their heads hung on the city!
They decided to join the White Lotus Sect, regardless of whether there was a childless old mother or a vacuum hometown, they believed that the people who helped them were not bad people, and they would take them to escape from poverty and hopeless life, and live the good life of their dreams.
Now such an opportunity is in front of them, and most hardcore believers do not hesitate to choose to believe, pawn houses, land, jewelry, etc., and prepare money. A small number of peripheral disciples were still hesitating, they didn't believe that the senior brother, the altar master, and other preachers who had no mothers in the world on weekdays had pawned all their belongings and everything they could sell in front of everyone.
They are hesitating, hesitating whether it is worth it! Is it worth exchanging all your possessions for a chance to change your life?
In the evening, Wang Ergou had dinner and was squatting in front of the stove smoking dry cigarettes, and his wife Li Cuihua said: "His father, the old Uncle Li next door has already sold his cattle and land, and he is urging me vigorously." What do you think we should do? ”。
Hearing this, Wang Ergou was stunned, his eyebrows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", and he was silent for a while and said: "Baby, I don't know what to do!" This holy religion is kind to us, but it is not easy for us to accumulate this bit of belongings, how can we pawn them all! These three acres of land and a few thatched huts are what our father and mother have spent more than ten years saving."
After speaking, Wang Ergou sighed and continued to smoke, but his wife frowned and did not speak.

"Oh?! How many such believers are there? Holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, Yang Guangxiao asked with a gloomy face.
"The Enlightenment Sect Master, with a total of 375 believers, has been delaying and perfunctory donations. According to the reports of the senior brothers, senior sisters, and altar masters below, these people have been avoiding our people since the end of the incense meeting. The altar owner personally came to the door to advise, and these people were also struggling, looking for excuses to delay," Lao Song said respectfully, his face full of contempt and disgust.
"There are so many people? Hum! Have you forgotten how the Holy Church helped them when they were in trouble? With a cold snort, Yang Guangxiao said in a dark voice.
"Master! These people have received a lot of favors from the Holy Religion before, and they often shout 'loyalty' for the Holy Religion on weekdays, but at this time, they are greedy for a little bit of their own possessions, which is really hateful. The subordinates implored the sect leader to give an order to punish a group of people and make an example of them. It's good to express our piety to the immortals and the lifeless old mother," Lao Song knelt on the ground and said with anger on his face.
Hearing this, Yang Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, sat there expressionlessly, and only said after a while: "In troubled times, it is an important time for my White Lotus Holy Sect to survive and become famous, and all believers should work together and work together to create a great cause." However, a small number of petty people are greedy for wealth and want to destroy our brothers and sisters to become immortals. We should obey the decree of the childless old mother, and kill her with a sword, so as to protect the Taoist system! ”。
"Old Song, you take a group of incense masters and altar masters, and finally persuade those who hesitate, if they are still obsessed. You should arrest him, try him at the incense meeting, and warn the congregation, "In just a few words, Yang Guangxiao decided the life and death of Wang Ergou's family!"
Hanquan Castle East Land Temple, late at night
Wang Ergou, who was tied to a pillar with five flowers and a rag in his mouth, looked at the parishioners in front of him with a frightened face, his wife and son tied next to him, and several other families.
"Dear parishioners! As everyone knows, a few days ago, the immortals under the throne of the old mother of no life descended to help us overthrow the puppet dynasty Li clan and enter the vacuum hometown fairyland. However, the old mother of no life is entangled with gods and demons, and it takes our modest efforts" A senior brother stepped forward, waving his arms and shouting loudly.
After a pause, the senior brother's eyes froze, "All of you here are the most devout believers of our Holy Sect, and the lifeless old mother knows it very well in her heart. For the sake of the childless mother, we can sell our houses and land, we can endure hardships and hardships, and we can endure hunger! The lifeless old mother was very happy in her heart, and she had already issued a decree to lead all the believers into the vacuum hometown and get rid of the suffering of the world! ”。
As soon as the senior brother said this, the surrounding believers suddenly made a commotion, and everyone was full of excitement, discussing one after another: The hard days are finally coming to an end, what should I do if I become an immortal, thank you to the childless old mother, thank you to the Holy Sect, and so on.
Looking at the disciples around him with excited faces, Senior Brother smiled coldly in his heart, "Enter the vacuum hometown? Bah! You useless idiots, when the vacuum hometown is steamed buns and steamed buns, can anyone go? Those of us who have followed the Holy Religion for generations have the opportunity to follow the Sect Master to enter. You ants, let's go to the next life! ”。
Pressing with both hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, the senior brother's face suddenly changed, and he pointed to Wang Ergou's family and said indignantly: "But! Now there are such people who are deeply helped by us on weekdays, but at this critical moment, for their own selfish interests, they want to destroy our great event of becoming immortals! Just because their ancestral home is important! Their fields matter! ”。
Hearing this, all the disciples were stunned, and then everyone stared at Wang Ergou and the others with murderous faces, and it seemed that they wanted to tear each other apart alive:
"Wang Ergou! You wolf-hearted brute! The old man even pawned the coffin for the sake of his childless mother, but for your own selfish interests, you refused to shirk it many times, and wanted to harm everyone! The old man fought with you! An old man in coarse linen robe roared angrily and rushed up to punch and kick Wang Ergou.
"Li Shan'er, the money for your wife's treatment was made up by all of us, and in order to make up this money, our family only ate one meal a day for several days! Are you worthy of me? ”
"Kill these brutes!"
......
The disciples shouted angrily, and one by one they rushed forward and punched and kicked Wang Ergou and the others. At first, Wang Ergou and the others screamed and begged for mercy, but slowly the sound became smaller and smaller.....
Seeing Wang Ergou and the others being beaten to death by the disciples, the senior brother standing on the side showed a satisfied smile. When the congregants had enough, he stood up to appease and encourage him, called on everyone to donate hard, and ordered the meeting to be dismissed.
The bodies of Wang Ergou and others were buried behind the Land Temple by the senior brother, their eyes widened, and they couldn't bat at each other: Isn't the Holy Religion for the people? Why did you kill me?
"Religion, especially fanatics, is the most terrible weapon in the world. It is also something that most leaders absolutely do not want to touch, because these people will get out of control when it comes to religion and become a bunch of beasts that have lost their minds, shame, and compassion! Looking at the information in his hand, Meng Qiu said softly.
In just five days, nearly 100 people were beaten to death by the parishioners because they refused to donate their family property, and their bodies were buried on the spot, and the family property was pawned by the White Lotus Sect Incense Master who arrived later. What is even more terrifying is that the surrounding neighbors witnessed all this, but neither reported nor helped, but watched indifferently.
"Tsk, Yang Guangxiao is really smart, try not to spend his money, and let believers go bankrupt to help themselves succeed. However, it is better to hand over this shore Zhi Tinglan to me, Yang Guangxiao is such a fool who was deceived by me a few times, and gave my whole family property to me, which is not suitable for taking money. Qian doesn't like him, he likes me" Meng Qiu squinted his eyes and said happily.
"A few million taels of silver! That's enough for me to plan for the next step! ”
