Chapter 35: The White Lotus Sect
After a while, I could even hear the footsteps of a large group of people rushing towards the city gate.
Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng sat up all of a sudden, not understanding what the situation was. But quickly extinguished the fire, kicked the remaining charcoal-black branches around, and cleaned it as if someone had just lit a fire, and then the two of them quickly hid behind the gate.
In this way, if someone suddenly opens the door, they should not be able to find the two of them for a while.
Sure enough, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they didn't sound very neat, but they were loud.
It wasn't like an army, but like a large group of people, and the footsteps were rushing in scattered.
There were also some "rustling" sounds coming from the locked places of the city gates, and someone was opening the city gates.
The two of them quickly held their breath, their hearts beating faster and faster, and they were coming.
A huge force pushed the door open, and Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng, who were hiding behind the city gate, also retreated again and again. Watching the people in the city rush out.
At the head were several men dressed in white, and the people were walking side by side side with each other, forming a group, and around the people, there was a circle of men in white.
Although it was not clear what was going on, it was obvious that these men in white had taken control of the entire city and restrained the ordinary people in the city.
Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng wore tattered old Han shirts, which were not dazzling at all when thrown among the people. The two men looked at each other.
At the moment when the crowd poured out, the two people quickly blended into the encirclement of the people.
There was no order among the people, those who walked fast walked more and more in front, and those who walked slowly walked further and further back, and many of them did not know each other, so Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng got in, and no one noticed at all.
Successfully penetrated inside, and the two of them slapped their hands on the thighs in an unseen place, and it went well.
When all the people had gone out of the city, the men in white at the back closed the gates again. Several men in white in front of them began to move, setting up a high platform for the most handsome man among them to board.
The man in white is also shining in the whole crowd, elegant and beautiful, and his voice is also very magnetic and appealing.
There is a jade pendant on his waist, which is very dazzling in the contrast of the moonlight, and on the other side, he is equipped with a silver pen and a sword of dragon and snake. Although it was really too much in the eyes of the emperor, it was more than enough to coax these ordinary people.
The man cleared his throat and began to speak, "Everyone knows that there is a serious disaster in the city, not only is there a shortage of food, but soon there is an outbreak of a very contagious epidemic throughout the whole process, and many elderly people are the first to fall. Look at what the government has given us, blocking the city gates, not giving us relief food, they not only want to starve us to death, but also want to cut us off from the outside of the city, who are struggling in the face of the epidemic. ”
"What are they actually doing?" The man suddenly became angry, raised his arms on the high platform and shouted, "They want to exchange the death of one of our cities for the peace of other cities!" ”
The people below also responded one after another, "Dog officer! "Dog Mansion!"
The man did not continue to speak, and everyone's echo grew louder and louder. Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng also followed the people around them and raised their arms high for some reason, as if in protest.
After a while, the voices of the people subsided, and the man stretched out his two arms and pressed down in the direction of the people, signaling everyone to calm their anger for a while.
Then he said, "It is at this critical moment that the White Lotus Sect stepped forward and gave us food and medicine, what should we really be thankful for?" The man paused.
The echoes of the people below are even stronger: "White Lotus Sect", "It is the White Lotus Sect", "The White Lotus Sect gave us life", "We are all followers of the White Lotus Sect", "Swear to defend the White Lotus Sect"
At this time, Jiang Qianliang and Fan Xiancheng figured out that there was a cult that made a fortune here!
As a matter of fact, many small-scale cults appear in various parts of the country every year, especially in places that have just suffered from disasters, where the people do not trust the government, and people's lives are dying day by day, and what they originally believed in will be greatly discounted in the hearts of the people.
At this time, it is very easy for a cult to take advantage of the situation.
As long as you provide some medicinal herbs and food to the people in the early stage, more and more people will believe in it, and they will donate the rest of their homes.
In this way, the cult is like a recycling station, collecting things from those who don't need them and distributing them to those who need them, in fact, replacing the functions of the government.
In this way, more and more people join the cult, the richer the resources reserved by the cult, and the more willing the people are to trust the cult.
But in fact, there is no need for any investment at all, you just need to make up the story in the early stage.
Jiang Qianliang was interested, and with his arms in front of his chest, he wanted to see what wonderful stories this cult could make up.
"Now, as the messenger of God, I, the sect leader, have come to free everyone from the troubles of illness. Does anyone want to give it a try? ”
Jiang Qianliang licked his lips. Fun and live performances to watch.
From the side of the high platform came a lady who seemed to be seriously ill, trembling and being helped onto the stage, coughing badly. It is easier to see the eldest lady's face clearly on the high platform, the whole iron is green, and there is no life.
The man, known as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, helped the eldest lady to lie flat on the high platform, took out a handkerchief and covered the eldest lady's face, and then sat cross-legged beside her, saying a long list of words that people couldn't understand, but he didn't move his hands, and put his two hands on the knees on both sides.
It does look very bluffing.
Finally, he suddenly shouted, "Heavenly God, God of the White Lotus Sect, save this kind person!" ”
I took the opportunity to tear off the handkerchief on the eldest mother's face, and stood up again with her.
The eldest lady's whole face was rejuvenated, especially next to her cheeks, she was red as if she was a girl, and she didn't cough anymore, and even walked and jumped on the stage.
The sect leader hurriedly explained to a kind of people, "Look, this is the will of the gods, and it is the will of the gods to bring the eldest mother back to life!" ”
The people below also hurriedly echoed the "White Lotus Sect", "White Lotus Sect", "Harley" and "Harley"
Shouting the White Lotus Sect Jiang Qianliang can still understand, what is going on with this Harley? Jiang Qianliang hurriedly poked the little girl who shouted the most enthusiastically next to him, "Harley?" ”
The little girl hurriedly asked Jiang Qianliang to boo, "You don't even know Harley!" It is the prayer of the White Lotus Sect, and it is the meaning of praising the great power of the White Lotus Sect! ”
"The louder you shout, the easier it will be for the gods to hear you!"
Jiang Qianliang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then shouted, "Harley, Harley!" ”
Since they have all entered the den of thieves of the cult, they must always be at peace with what they encounter.
