In Bac Ha province, Hongzhen county.

This is the current residence of the White Lotus Sect, since two years ago, under the leadership of Li Yun, the White Lotus Sect members broke through Hongzhen County, they have killed all the rich families in the city, occupied their mansions and family property, and then gradually moved the branch altars in various places, and settled in this Hongzhen County.

And now that two years have passed, the entire Hongzhen County has completely fallen under their control, and the people in the entire city have become members of their White Lotus Sect, and every household worships the lifeless old mother, Maitreya Tianzun.

The White Lotus Sect still has a lot of brainwashing fools, plus anyone who rebels against them will be deliberately mutilated by them and eradicate dissidents, and two years of time is enough for them to run a monolith here.

After all, even if the people in the city clearly knew that the White Lotus Sect was a harmful cult, if they didn't join according to the requirements of the White Lotus Sect, they wouldn't even be able to live, so how could they dare to disobey and only join the White Lotus Sect to save their lives.

Other than that, there is no other way, because even wanting to escape is an extravagant hope, the people of the White Lotus Sect are always watching them, but if anyone shows the slightest sign of escaping, they will be immediately caught by the people of the White Lotus Sect, and the whole family will suffer.

After several successive lessons from the past in front of him, no one dared to run away anymore.

And those high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect have also been instructing and controlling the small leaders under their subordinates, staring at the people in the city every day, brainwashing and educating them all the time, holding a small Dharma meeting on the tenth day, and doing a water and land dojo in a month, after all, it still has some effect.

After all, the most terrifying thing about brainwashing pyramid schemes is that even if you know it in your heart, once you are brainwashed more, the cognition in your heart will also slowly deflect unconsciously.

Because... It can give hope to people!

Even if that hope is false and just a big pie drawn, for those people at the bottom who have even been numb to their fate, they can't think of so much at all, so far, any little glimmer of hope is enough to make them yearn for it.

And this is also the root of the White Lotus Cult's enduring existence, no matter how big the blow they suffer, it won't be long before they can resurrect again.

Those demons of the White Lotus Sect, each of them are masters of brainwashing, and they all have deep charm in people's hearts, and they are naturally the most demagogic in their hearts.

Even themselves, knowing everything, may not always be able to remain rational, and sometimes even they themselves will be brainwashed by their own false lies!

What Lu Zhi saw and heard after arriving in Hongzhen County made him frown.

I saw that on the street where people came and went, there were few people, only a few 'white lotus messengers' with white cloth strips tied around their waists patrolling the street, checking along the house to see if the people had paid homage to the lifeless mother and Maitreya Tianzun at home, and whether they had recited the white lotus sutra of the lifeless mother.

Every morning and dusk, the people of the city were ordered to stay at home and do morning and evening classes, but if there was any perfunctory disobedience, they would be arrested by the white lotus messengers and sent to the street entrance of the vegetable market to be whipped and executed.

This was the information that Lu Zhi had learned through the memories of that White Lotus Sect Holy Maiden, but it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he really knew how harsh and vicious the White Lotus Sect's management methods were!

It seems that they are just asking the people to worship and recite the scriptures every day, but in fact, they are enslaving the hearts of the people in this way, implanting obedience in their hearts, and enslaving the people in the name of religious gods!

However, among those people, there has never been a lack of stupid and vicious people, who either stupidly believed the nonsense of the White Lotus Sect, thinking that after joining the White Lotus Sect, they would really get 'good fortune', and they would be able to go to the Western Elysium, and they would be happy and comfortable.

There are also vicious people who are already cynical, and they can't wait to pull everyone off the horse, and their lives are even more dilapidated and miserable than him.

And these two kinds of people are the best tools that the White Lotus Sect uses to deal with those ordinary people!

Those people who have been brainwashed by them will be taken into their hands, brainwashed into 'fanatics', and then sent to their armies to be consumed as cannon fodder.

Or recruit them as new missionaries, and continue to 'spread the gospel' to the people with them, creating brainwashing to create more believers.

As for those who are vicious, the upper echelons of the White Lotus Sect have incorporated them into the positions of law enforcers such as the White Lotus Emissary, acting as eagle dog minions to deal with the people under their command.

Those people are inherently cruel and vicious representatives, and when they get their rights and identities, they deal with the people in a much more vicious and cruel way than their White Lotus Sect!

With such a two-pronged approach, those people in the city have no room for resistance at all, even if they hate the cruelty and cruelty of the White Lotus Sect in their hearts, they can only hold their hatred in their hearts, and they dare not reveal half of it.

In addition, the White Lotus Sect also deeply rhymed the way of 'self-governance' for the people, and they deliberately developed a lot of eyes and ears among the people in the city, allowing them to spy on their neighbors and even their families!

Whenever someone is dissatisfied with the White Lotus Sect, or wants to escape, they are often just prepared on the front foot, and the back foot will be reported as betrayed and captured by the White Lotus Sect's people.

And those families who have family members who believe in the nonsense of the White Lotus Sect and are deeply trapped in the devil's barrier are even more like falling into the abyss.

Because they will be brainwashed by their own family members every day, wooing, urging and even threatening the whole family, they must join the White Lotus Sect and worship under the seat of the sect leader Li Yun and the childless old mother, otherwise, the family will not want to have peace one day.

Brainwashing, developing the downline, let the downline help brainwash their families, so as to develop more believers, and restrict the people in the city from appearing and leaving, enslaving their hearts... The White Lotus Cult is a hundred times more terrifying and vicious than those terrifying-looking harmful ghosts!

Even Lu Zhi, after seeing the scene in the city, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and deeply felt how terrifying and vicious the human heart can be!

He underestimated this White Lotus Sect too much, and before, he had never taken this White Lotus Sect seriously, he only felt that they were just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and he didn't take them very seriously.

But now he realized that he was taking it for granted, and it was not only those who scammed pyramid schemes in later generations who were masters of playing with people's hearts, but even more so from the White Lotus Sect.

After all, the people of this era do not have as much knowledge and knowledge as the people of later generations, and their thinking is still relatively ignorant, and the rule of law and people's livelihood in this era are not as perfect as those of later generations.

And even in the era of peace and prosperity in later generations, when the people's wisdom has been opened, there are still so many people who have been brainwashed, let alone in this era.

“... No! Let my son go, Messenger. He's still young, and he doesn't understand anything! ”

Just when Lu Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he suddenly heard a cry and pleading from the street corner.

Lu Zhi subconsciously turned around and saw that an envoy of the White Lotus Sect was holding a child by the neck and walking out into the street, and a woman was kneeling and hugging the messenger's waist, begging for mercy.

But the messenger didn't pay attention to it at all, and said with a hideous face.

"Humph! This kid disrespects the childless mother, and dares to steal the tribute before the throne of the childless mother, and he should be killed! ”

As he spoke, he saw that his expression was sharp, and the strength in his hand increased by a few points again, and the child scratched his arm desperately, but the child was only seven or eight years old, how could he break the strength of an adult, and his face was bruised!

"Don't... Gao Liuzi, I am willing to give you my body, please let the dog go! ”

"Humph! It's late! This little scumbag actually dared to bite labor and management last time, and today labor and management will strangle him, I think you slut will dare to disobey me in the future?! ”

Just as the sixth son of Gao was about to kill the killer, suddenly, his body suddenly froze, only to feel a cold attack, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed, squeezing towards him.

He looked horrified as his arm deflated and deformed... The kid finally fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

The intense pain struck, making Gao Liuzi want to cry out in pain, but the invisible oppressive force made him unable to even breathe, and the extremely painful suffocation made his eyes tremble, and slowly, his whole person was squeezed into a distorted appearance little by little!

But even if his body has been twisted and transformed into such an appearance, he is still not dead, and Lu Zhi, who is full of anger, will not let him die so easily!
