Chapter Seventy-Nine: Demagogy

After Zhou Chen and other officials dressed up in disguise, under the leadership of Chen Yun and Xu Yan, two brocade guards who knew about the matter, they rushed straight towards the eastern suburbs of Youyu County.

Walking to the eastern suburbs of the county, separated by a long distance, everyone saw that many people gathered together, as if they were paying homage to something.

Looking at the people who were kneeling and bowing from afar, Chen Yun stepped forward and approached Zhou Chen's side, whispering in his ear.

"My lord, the place where the people gathered was originally a ruined temple.

However, a few days ago, in front of the door of that temple, a statue of a godless mother suddenly broke through the ground.

The statue grew a few inches taller every day, and now it was almost a man's height.

It was precisely because of the vision of the statue of the godless mother that the unknown believers quickly spread the belief in the god.

Now, only a few days have passed, and the temple that had been lost has been renovated, and incense has begun to worship the childless mother in its heyday.

And the statue of the god in front of the temple, which is still growing taller, has become a miracle place for the believers of the childless mother to worship every day. ”

Zhou Chen nodded silently, and he continued to walk forward, ready to go and see for himself what the mystery was there.

Seeing this, Tie Shaotang, Chen Yun, Xu Yan and others didn't say too much, and hurriedly followed Zhou Chen and walked forward.

The crowd was not far from the place where the people bowed their heads and worshipped, and it didn't take long for them to reach the outer edge of the crowd.

Because all the people were bowed to the ground, Zhou Chen and the others saw at a glance the statue of the god who was in front of the people and was bowed down and worshiped by all the people in the field.

It was a statue of an old woman with a very kind and kind face.

The whole idol seems to have been made of pure brass, and now it has a normal body buried in the dust.

It's just that even the upper body of the idol exposed outside the dirt seems to have exceeded the height of an adult man, so you can imagine the size and grandeur of the statue.

Looking at the statue of the lifeless old mother who was being worshiped and kowtowed by all the people in the field, the officials who followed Zhou Chen couldn't help but have all kinds of inexplicable looks in their hearts.

There is anger at the demagogy of using miracles to deceive people, and at the same time there is curiosity about what mystery the statue hides.

Even Zhou Chen, there was also a hint of discoloration in his eyes.

Just as Zhou Chen and the others were watching and looking at the statue of the lifeless old mother, several disciples dressed in white linen robes and wearing white scarves walked through the crowd.

"How many laymen have you seen, but how many laymen have come to pay homage to the miracles of the lifeless old mother?"

The white-clothed cultist at the head bowed slightly to Zhou Chen and the others, and then asked with a warm smile.

Hearing the white-clothed disciple's voice in his ears, Zhou Chen chuckled and nodded, but he didn't answer anything directly.

And the Dao Dao, who has been by Zhou Chen's side for a long time, has been getting along with Zhou Chen more and more fat, and the tacit understanding is a step forward.

He politely replied on behalf of Zhou Chen: "My son-in-law has always liked the Buddha's good ways, and recently I heard that a miracle was born here, so my son-in-law specially came to pay respects." ”

Speaking of this, Ba Dao's voice suddenly paused.

He raised his eyes and looked at the people in front of him who were constantly prostrating their heads to worship, so he continued with embarrassment: "But who would have thought that there are so many people who are looking at the miracle right now, and my son-in-law has to wait on this periphery. ”

As the words in the mouth of the overlord sword slowly fell, the smiles on the faces of those white-clothed disciples became more and more bright.

Although Zhou Chen and the others in front of them were all wearing some coarse linen clothes, their own momentum was absolutely different from that of ordinary ordinary people.

But any character with a keen eye, you can see at a glance that they must be from an extraordinary background.

And at present, these white-clothed disciples have been spreading their faith all over the world all year round, and they naturally will not lack these insights and experiences.

Even if it was because Zhou Chen and the others were so well disguised that these white-clothed disciples couldn't see their true origins at all, these people were completely able to confirm that Zhou Chen and the others were definitely not ordinary people.

Although most of these white-clothed people preach on the basis of the beliefs of the poor people, this does not mean that they will ignore the existence of those large families.

On the contrary, the white-clad people are most happy to see believers from large families join their sect.

At this moment, after Zhou Chen and the others showed their interest in miracles, this was naturally in the hands of those white-clothed disciples.

Even the statue of the childless old mother has been surrounded by the people who are worshipping and prostrating in the field.

However, in order to be able to spread the beliefs worshiped by their sect to the higher classes, those white-clothed disciples naturally wouldn't let Zhou Chen and them be intercepted on the periphery.

"Please wait a moment."

The white-clothed disciple at the head bowed slightly, first to Zhou Chen and Ba Dao to apologize, and then saw him turn around and shout loudly to the people around him: "Ladies and gentlemen, now these lay people have heard of the mercy of the lifeless old mother, and they have come all the way to pay homage to the miracles bestowed by the lifeless mother.

I also ask the faithful to make it easier for these new friends to go inside and pay close attention to the merciful glory of the Virgin Mary and her old family. ”

Perhaps it was because of the vision of the statue of Our Lady of Immortality that completely bewitched these people.

Therefore, the people in the current scene are very obedient to the words of those white-clothed disciples, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that they are obedient to their words.

As soon as the white-clothed cultist at the head finished speaking, the people who had been tightly surrounding the statue of the Immortal Mother slowly spread out in all directions, releasing a lot of gaps that could be walked by.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a pang, only a few days have passed, and these white-clothed disciples have such a great convincing power in the hearts of the people?

If these white-clothed followers were given a period of time to develop, they would probably be able to trick the people into rebellion, right?
