Chapter 16 I see, 16

Li Daguan's name was taken by his mother based on the braggadocio of Li Daguan's father. It is said that Li Daguan's father was a descendant of a celebrity, and his ancestor was the famous Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty. Who is Li Chunfeng? As long as people with historical experience know, his fame is related to Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in ancient times. At the beginning, there were two famous physiognomy masters in the Tang Dynasty, one was Yuan Tiangang, who calculated the future "Wu Dynasty Tang", and the other was this Li Chunfeng. Yuan Tiangang calculated the future for Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who was alive at the time, and said the appalling "After the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the Wu family replaced the Tang Dynasty." The prophecy said that after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty in the future, there would be a person surnamed Wu who would replace the Li family and become the real control of the dynasty. Although Li Shimin did not believe in this prophecy very much, in order to ensure that this kind of thing would not happen, he still ordered all the officials surnamed Wu and their families to be dealt with secretly. At that time, the young Wu Zetian almost couldn't escape this catastrophe, but fortunately, Li Chunfeng's timely appearance saved the later empress's life. Li Chunfeng not only helped Wu Zetian avoid the disaster, but also helped Wu Zetian enter the court, preparing Wu Zetian to become a generation of empresses in the future. Wu Zetian later turned evil into good fortune many times because of Li Chunfeng's help or hints, so Wu Zetian trusted Li Chunfeng very much. Wu Zetian also decided to become a generation of empresses under Li Chunfeng's hint, otherwise Wu Zetian would not dare to ascend to the emperor's throne easily. After Wu Zetian's death, the descendants of the surname Li hated this Li Chunfeng very much after they got the world, but at this time Li Chunfeng was dead, so they vented their anger on Li Chunfeng's descendants. All the descendants of Li Chunfeng who had the ability and ability were all killed, and the descendants of Li Chunfeng, who were incapable and young, were sent to Yunnan. Li Daguan's father and his family lived in Yunnan, and because they had been combined with the Miao people many times, they became half-Miao and half-Han, and the Miao people were unwilling to accept them, and the Han people did not agree with them calling themselves Han. The only thing left by Li Daguan's father to Li Daguan's mother and son was an incomplete picture album. Li Daguan later learned that this was a picture album of the Miao people training poisons, and he used this ability to have the capital to survive.

Li Daguan's name is cheesy, but it represents a kind of expectation of Li Daguan's mother for her son. Li Daguan's mother was kicked out by her own parents, so she hoped that her son would return to his hometown with his own scenery after he got ahead. At that time, even if the common people had money, they would be looked down upon, and the only thing that could make others look up to was to be an official, so Li Daguan's mother named her son Li Daguan, which meant that he would be a big official in the future. However, a person like Li Daguan, who has no identity background and has not received systematic education, cannot become an official for the rest of his life. When Li Daguan was seventeen years old, Li Daguan's mother passed away with regret, this year Li Daguan had just learned to catch snakes, and he had not had time to learn the ability to control poisons. After his mother's death, Li Daguan was almost helpless, he either went up the mountain to catch snakes during the day or performed acrobatics on the street to play snakes, and at night he practiced at home to control poisons. Because of the poor conditions when he was a child, he developed relatively late, and at the age of seventeen, he looked only eleven or twelve years old. It may be that after being in contact with poisons for a long time, Li Daguan's body structure has been affected, and everyone says that Li Daguan is a deformed child.

Li Daguan looks like a child, and he is good at controlling poisonous snakes, and this matter was immediately known by people with a heart. One day not long after, a foreigner found Li Daguan and asked him to go to other places to perform acrobatics. Li Daguan was reluctant to go to other places, but the other party offered a price that Li Daguan could not refuse, and Li Daguan agreed for this money. When I arrived at the place, I realized that the other party didn't come to see him perform, and his performance was not eye-catching to the other party. The other party sent three people to show off their three stunts, each of which made Li Daguan feel helpless and surprised. The other party put forward the real purpose, hoping that Li Daguan would join their organization, and they would ensure that Li Daguan would live a good life that he had never dared to imagine before. Li Daguan knew that if he didn't agree, it was very likely that he would not be able to leave this place, and he was moved by the other party's words, so he agreed to be willing to join their organization.

Li Daguan stayed in the main altar of this divine cult organization for nearly half a year, learning some so-called supernatural powers, as well as some ways to stir people's hearts. The organization also assigned three people to assist Li Daguan, one believer was responsible for protecting Li Daguan's personal safety, one believer was responsible for daily performance and incitement, and the other was responsible for dealing with some opposition voices. Li Daguan took advantage of his child's body and appearance, coupled with his familiarity with and control of poisons, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the county territory designated by the General Altar. The name of Li Daguan, the immortal boy of bliss, gradually opened up in the county seat, and Li Daguan finally lived the life he dreamed of when he was a child. Li Daguan performed during the day to attract more people to join the organization, and at night Li Daguan participated in various banquets and met all kinds of social celebrities. As Li Daguan's prestige became higher and higher, even the eldest lord of the county yamen, Lord Zhang, began to deliberately take the initiative to approach Li Daguan, which made Li Daguan have a feeling of disbelief. Li Daguan began to live a fairy-like life, making money, befriending powerful people, and performing became his most common things.

It wasn't until he met Ma Guilan one day that he began to tremble. It's not the first time Li Daguan has seen Ma Guilan, and Li Daguan has long known about Ma Guilan's affairs in this county. As early as when he was the owner of the altar of this place, the people of the main altar reminded Li Daguan that while developing believers, he should also take good care of Ma Guilan, a special prisoner. Why is Ma Guilan a prisoner of the Cult? What secrets did Ma Guilan know? Li Daguan didn't know this. Li Daguan only knew that several elders of the General Altar privately asked him to take good care of Ma Guilan before he took office, and Li Daguan knew that Ma Guilan was very popular within the Divine Sect. After Li Daguan served as the altar master, he did not dare to target Ma Guilan, except for asking Ma Guilan once every six months if he was willing according to the custom, Li Daguan did not treat Ma Guilan badly. In order to have a good relationship with this weird prisoner Ma Guilan, Li Daguan called Ma Guilan Aunt Ma.

It's probably been more than two years, and Li Daguan asked Ma Guilan again as usual, and almost every time Ma Guilan's answer was the same, so Li Daguan and Zongtan didn't have much expectations for this inquiry. But this time, Li Daguan got the news that surprised him very much, it turned out that the Divine Sect had so many secrets that he didn't know. If the Divine Cult was just an organization that deceived the common people, structured the government, and made huge profits, Li Daguan did not have to worry at all. However, according to Ma Guilan's confession, most of the high-level leaders of this organization come from the palace, and there are even some sinners who are out of the palace abnormally. Their purpose together is not only to survive and be wealthy, but also to target the royal family and even to fight against the imperial court. Li Daguan didn't believe it, but Ma Guilan told her story to Li Daguan, and Li Daguan understood why Ma Guilan lived like this. Li Daguan also felt that the people of the Divine Sect didn't seem to care about money over the years, and were preparing to do a big thing. Thinking of Ma Guilan's answer, Li Daguan found that the leader of this organization was not easy to be. If things succeed, you may have great wealth, but if you fail, you will not only have nothing, but also your family. He didn't dare to bet his life with the safety of his family, and he didn't want to be buried for the Divine Cult, so Li Daguan decided to hide for a while. When the situation became clear, he decided to report the Divine Cult or still rely on the Divine Cult, so he changed his face and survived as a dumb guy in Zhumadian. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by the shrewd Qin Tai, who forced Li Daguan to make a choice and forced Li Daguan to tell the secret of the Divine Sect.

Li Daguan told Qin Tai that the Divine Cult had begun to buy off local officials and officials of the yamen many years ago. The Divine Cult used supernatural powers as a cover, and while it developed and grew, it was worried that the local yamen would interfere with their development. So at the beginning, he secretly had a good relationship with officials in various places, and even developed an internal line and planted it in the yamen. Some officials who were not outstanding and were even very likely to be dismissed immediately not only gained a foothold but also strode forward with their covert help and became secret members of the Cult. They will not participate in any local organizational activities of the Cult, and will even criticize the Cult even more selflessly, with the aim of making outsiders think that these officials have nothing to do with the Divine Stick and Divine Woman. These people will only be awakened and used when it is most critical, and the person who is responsible for communicating with them on a daily basis is the altar master of the various branches. Li Daguan pointed out that the county magistrate, Lord Zhang, and others were the targets of the development of the Divine Cult, and that there were also seven or eight officials who were members of the Divine Cult.
