Chapter 792: Insight
Pei Qian himself is just a casual cultivator, because he was already relatively old when he practiced martial arts, and his talent was relatively average, in fact, he only had the cultivation of the Luck Realm.
However, it is difficult to say when a person will make a career.
In the Earth God Sect, Pei Qian rejuvenated his second spring and had a new life.
Pei Qian was worried about life at that time, and everyone could say that he had entered the stage of middle and old age, but he achieved nothing, and he fed the whole family without hunger.
I thought this was the end of my life.
When I went to work, I came into contact with people from the Earth God Sect.
Then I entered the earth temple in a daze, and after experiencing the test that I don't know what it was, I thought it was a talent, so I cultivated it.
Pei Qian knew what kind of level he was, and martial arts were still very common.
But what I didn't expect was that one day I would be called a genius by others, and people's attitude was serious, not perfunctory.
The teachings of the Earth God Sect, the exercises, and the elixir or something, and even gave a talisman baby.
It's not that Pei Qian has no vision, but it's the first time in his life that he has been taken seriously like this, so he thinks it's not bad in the Earth God Sect, and he agreed without doing anything harmful.
Then after training for a period of time and having results, he was sent to Shiqiao Village to do temple blessings, which means that Pei Qian has just taken office.
It was all about learning, but now it's about practical application.
At first, Pei Qian thought that he was making himself a god, but after seeing that the secret method of the Earth God Sect was really effective, he also had a trace of trust in his heart, and he became more and more pious, maybe he really had faith in the Earth God Sect and became a disciple, rather than simply taking it as his own job.
Even for some of the orders spread by the Earth God Sect, they are obedient and will not ask too much.
Therefore, after taking root in Ishibashi Village, he actively promoted the belief of the Earth God Cult.
At the same time, with the help of a large number of people, he began to carry out popular science education for the villagers of Shiqiao Village.
Not to mention that Pei Qian is still a little capable in this regard, first of all, his appearance is somewhat confusing.
With a goatee, he seems to be an honest and loyal person, convincing, and the secret methods and treasures taught by the earth god are real, so he has attracted a lot of believers in Shiqiao Village.
Now comes to the point.
Pei Qian has never seen the earth god worshipped by the Earth God Sect, in the final analysis, he is only a bottom, and he doesn't know what the real senior personnel can reach, if he is really a high-level, he will not come to Shiqiao Village.
But there is something unique about those secret methods.
For example, the ground thorns and earth shields used by Pei Qian before were not on his kung fu.
It can be used through the statue of the earth god taught by the earth god. There are several secret methods on it, which do not require a martial artist to master. You just need to infuse the vitality into it. Then release it in the right place, and you can replace the power of the secret method within.
It can be said that it is convenient and fast.
As long as you are a person with vitality, even if you don't know any interesting martial arts, and this path can also play a role in attack and defense.
In addition to attack and defense, there are also abundant things that have been displayed in Ishibashi Village before, and they are also done using the secret methods on it.
Pei Qian can't do it to this extent.
As for those doctrines about propagating the cult of the earth gods, there is nothing wrong with that.
It's basically the same as those propaganda, but with a different subject, and there is no talk of life and death. Mainly focused on agriculture.
It can be said that it has grasped the key points of the rural people at once.
As for those who mysteriously disappeared. Pei Qian also admitted that he was caught, not that he made the decision without authorization. Rather, it is the order of the people above.
Of course, it wasn't harming people's lives, but they just thought that these people were potential excellent believers, and the earth gods needed their more sincere and devout offerings, so they directly sent people to arrest them, and locked them up in the basement of the temple, and did not encounter inhuman treatment.
It's just eating, drinking, sleeping, and praying in the basement, and it's more disciplined than those in the outside world.
These people can be said to be true fanatics, praying to the statue of the earth god.
Chen Zheng felt a little chill on his body after seeing it, this kind of method similar to mind control, the Earth God Sect may underestimate it, if it is a normal religion, it is easy to say, but if it is to satisfy the bad interests of some people, it is not good.
I still remember that in the history of Blue Star, there was a similar scene in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. If it is really for the people, it is naturally a good thing.
It's just that some people are so greedy for profit that they are carried away, and when they get there, it turns into a huge uprising, which not only does not improve the lives of the people, but plunges them further into misery.
It seems that the Cult of the Earth God also has such a possibility.
Because according to Zhang Liang, the people who mysteriously disappeared themselves are not particularly devout to the Earth God Sect, so they use it, and now they are in the basement one by one, how serious and serious they are, although it is not ruled out that some brainwashing may be possible, but I am afraid it is a bit unscientific to want to complete it in such a short time.
There are certainly similar methods of mind control.
And according to Pei Qian, the upper echelons of the Earth God Sect seem to be absorbing the power of faith and something.
It seems that there are benefits for the earth god, and it can bring more benefits to the earth god cult, so it has also become one of the fun of the earth god cult.
A simple benefit is cool, and it seems to be a very suitable business to deceive some ordinary people in order to obtain the power of faith.
Chen Zheng carefully checked that the ordinary people in the basement were indeed affected by similar means of mind control, which is why their belief in the earth god was so strong.
This is all related to Pei Qian's flickering.
The focus is on the statue of the earth god in the very center of the basement.
In the outside world, the villagers made it themselves.
And here Chen Zheng saw some forging materials, which were much clearer than the outside, and he could clearly see what kind of existence the Earth God statue was.
It is a statue of a beast-headed human body.
It looks a bit nondescript, and the worship is not like an idol but like an unknown idol.
What's even more interesting is that this head is clearly a mouse.
Rats also don't have a good reputation on the side of Yuanwu Continent, and the people who eat all kinds of food and dig holes, and sometimes bite chickens and ducks to death are also more annoying.
As a result, he is now the god of earth,
When he first saw the statue, Chen Zheng was still a little speechless, and looked directly at Pei Qian, with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was saying that you are working for such an Earth God Sect?
Pei Qian smiled embarrassedly, there is no way, who made him such a person, there is no way if he doesn't do this.
Chen Zheng asked Pei Qian to let these innocent people go, but Pei Qian shook his head and said that he couldn't do it.
Because this kind of emotional control was not done by him, but by the statue of the earth god.
Pei Qian just followed the methods of the people above and brought these people to the basement, as for what happened inside, he didn't know, and the people above didn't let him ask.
So Pei Qian was very embarrassed.
originally thought that he could find something, but it turned out to be just a person who had just taken office, Chen Zheng was a little disappointed, but Pei Qian summoned it.
He felt that Chen Zheng's eyes were cold, and he was afraid that if it wasn't for his own ineffect, he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.
"Poor master, since these villagers are because of the gods, and ahh
Pei Qian's face was flattering.
"Very well, you can give it a try." Chen Zheng had a hint of playfulness on his face.
"Huh? I? Poor master, this me, okay, good, I'll go. Under Chen Zheng's eyes, Pei Qian still couldn't resist and started to get up.
As a temple blessing, Pei Qian did not hesitate, took the long sword in his hand and prepared to attack the statue of the earth god, of course, he kept confessing in his heart, begging grandpa to sue grandma, the earth god master again, it's not that I want to do it, it's just that I was forced by the situation, please forgive me for what I did.
As if that would give you courage. It can alleviate the sins of oneself.
It's just that just when the long sword in his hand was about to touch the statue of the earth god, something strange happened.
The statue of the earth god emits a faint earthy yellow glow.
The rat head seemed to have come to life all of a sudden, and glared at Pei Qian angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with his betrayal of wielding his blade for this small temple.
Directly frightened Pei Qian's mother, the long sword in her hand fell to the ground, who has ever seen such a scene.
A statue turned out to be alive, you must know that this is not a puppet plaything, but Pei Qian personally saw it made in the stronghold of the Earth God Sect, although some forging materials were used, but it was indeed a dead thing that was personally carried over, it was really unimaginable that it was alive.
I'm afraid it's not really the earth god who has appeared.
Someone said that when you were staring at the abyss, the abyss was also condensing you, Pei Qian had inevitably received some edification in the Earth God Sect for so long, and he became a little convinced of the existence in the underworld.
And Chen Zheng's expression was really like this, and he knew that this statue was not so simple, but the interesting thing was that this statue could be so smart, and there was a little similarity with the existence in the secret space where the Holy White Lotus was suppressed at the beginning.
It's just that the one in front of Chen Zheng looks like a remote control means, a bit interesting, vivid, I don't know if it's really a kind of alien beast or someone who controls it anymore, but it doesn't matter, this wave of temptation is originally beautiful and ready to pass smoothly and steadily.
I have enough evidence to make the Earth God Sect drink a pot.
Chen Zheng had already prepared the surrounding scene with a shadow stone, this was the best evidence, even a temple in a village had this situation, not to mention other strongholds of the Earth God Sect, and there were also people in the county town who were also problematic. None of these people can run, and the small book of the Prosecutor's Department in Chen Zheng's hand is not a vegetarian.
Of course, the Lingering Stone is part of the evidence, and this Pei Qian is also Chen Zheng, so it is naturally impossible to watch him have an accident.
The earthy yellow light above the rat's head pulled the surrounding vitality, preparing to form an attack method, but Chen Zheng's knife was one step faster.
The greedy knife skillfully appeared in Chen Zheng's hand, and then with a stroke, there was no need for any complicated martial arts, only a sword qi, and it easily broke through the earthy yellow light.
A huge knife mark followed.
And the statue of the earth god was directly broken into two halves, and the rat head on it was still surprised. The statue is finally free of mystery.
And with the destruction of the statue, the surrounding people fainted directly to the ground.
Chen Zheng thought that he had overturned at first, but after checking it out, he realized that he was shocked, there was no problem, it was just that he had fainted, and it should be a normal reaction to lift his mind control.
After a while, some people woke up one after another.
I was a little panicked when I saw that there were people all around, but I soon found that they were all people from the village. Standing on the side is the temple of the earth temple, and there is an unknown black man, who is not a good person at first glance.
They panicked when they thought it was going to kill them.
It's just that after Chen Zheng's explanation, Pei Qian's explanation. And with the proof of the Shadow Stone, these people finally came to their senses, which also made them realize what the Earth God Cult is, maybe he is indeed very mysterious and has some strange powers, but these are not the reasons why they can manipulate people's hearts at will.
So they specifically went back to explain the roots of the Earth God Cult and let the family come to their senses.
What they didn't know was that after the destruction of the statue of the earth god that really worked, their family's fanatical state began to subside, and they began to regain their sobriety.
This is all Pei Qian told Chen Zheng, sure enough, he is much more cunning when he is older, and there is a lot of information that he does not say, and he is afraid that he is not preparing to make a talisman in his hand.
In this case, Chen Zheng couldn't let Pei Qian leave, and he always felt that it would be a huge loss if he was let go.
And Pei Qian is working hard in secret, his own life, I thought I was looking for a reassuring job. Why did he suddenly become like this, not only did he have to take him back for interrogation, but now he also had to work part-time to check the people who had fallen down carefully to make sure that they were okay and then tied them up.
