Is religion a good thing?

Maybe Fan Xianchu, who woke up again in a short coma, was not wrong, but Zhao Yan did not accept his proposal after all, and went to replace him and Fan Jiewu in charge of the Extreme Taoism or any other sect with a different name.

Zhao Yan is not unaware of the power of religion, because he has already seen those villagers who have been crazy for a hundred years in Su Liuguang outside Huanglong City, as well as the mighty spirits they summoned, and even today, before the past, he has seen those crazy extreme Taoist fanatics, and even because of Li Zixuan's words, he has vaguely understood the power of faith.

Yes, we used to read a lot of books, and the ordinary gods in the books except for the supreme gods all needed the power of faith?

But this did not prevent Zhao Yan from resisting the opportunity to experience the power of religion for himself.

This young master is here to enjoy life, what's the use of being a god and me?

Perhaps, after gaining the power of faith, you will be able to obtain incomparable power, and an incomparably long and infinite life that is close to eternal life, so you can enjoy life better, but ...... So what?

Eternal life is not necessarily a good thing.

Zhao Yan thinks so, at least for now.

So after thinking of this, Zhao Yan stopped thinking about this question, he was bored.

"Sister Wenjun, you can tell me clearly, why do you want them to swear to me? Frankly, I can do anything, but I definitely won't go to a cult. ”

Zhao Yan did not hold back the doubts in his heart, but asked this question directly, and the object was naturally Jian Wenjun, who was the most qualified to answer.

"I'll answer this question when I return from Jiuchu. ”

Jian Wenjun didn't give Zhao Yan an answer that satisfied him.

Everyone thought that Zhao Yan would continue to ask, but Zhao Yan nodded unexpectedly and said, "Okay." ”

This answer somewhat made Zhao Shixin, who was also qualified to observe, feel a little uneasy. And after he glanced at his little son a few times suspiciously, he finally couldn't hold back his request, and he implored Jian Wenjun to escort Fan Xianchu and Fan Jiewei to Daye City.

"They have taken an oath. ”

Jian Wenjun used these four words to veto Zhao Shixin's plea.

This answer naturally could not satisfy Zhao Shixin, he continued to implore Jian Wenjun to take Fan Xianchu and Fan Jiewu, no one knew better than him how these two condemned criminals were...... Dangerous.

But only once. Jian Wenjun didn't even say half a word, he just stared at Zhao Shixin for a while, and finally shook his head slightly and left the house where everyone was talking.

Zhao Shixin wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Zhao Pu, and finally let out a long sigh after earning two earnings.

"I'm tired. ”

Leave such a dull and depressed sentence. Zhao Shixin also left.

"Second brother, no matter what you choose in the future, don't forget your origin. Our ancestors, who won the title of Rongyang County from the Dragon War, enjoyed a hundred years of wealth, glory, and power, this country of Taikang...... Doesn't owe us anything. ”

Zhao Pu, who left after following Zhao Shixin, said such a thing to Zhao Yan.

"Why do you say that? Don't worry, brother. I'm not interested in those ethereal things, I really just want to be a high-powered steel daddy with a high authority on it, and a cow coaxing brother in the middle to protect me, and I can beat whoever I want, and I can tease whoever I want. ”

Zhao Pu's serious and serious tone made Zhao Yan have to repeat and reconfirm his great intention, although he really didn't know why he, the golden thigh brother, would suddenly say such things to him.

"Hmm. That's good. ”

Zhao Pu nodded, smiled at Zhao Yan again, and then turned around.

When Zhao Pu went out and walked away, Zhao Yan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately felt a tightness in his right ear, and then heard Li Zixuan's seemingly casual inquiry: "Erlang, who else do you want to tease? Do you want the old lady to help you hold down their hands and feet?"

"Zixuan, you're funny. This young master wants to tease Naturally, you still have Sister Xinyue, I don't object to you holding down Sister Xinyue's hand, you hold down your hand, I'm still flirting with a fart......! Zixuan. Hurry up and let go, I'm also a southern pacification envoy, and if my fiancée pulls my ears, if it accidentally spreads, how bad the impact will be!"

A good Zhao Erlang, at the critical juncture when he was tormented by Hedong Shi's fiancée and tortured to extract a confession, he replied in such a righteous and strict manner.

"Tsk, Erlang, Erlang, people thought that you had only grown into martial arts, but now it seems that Erlang is your longest ......" Li Zixuan stretched out a finger like a hundred shallots, and stroked Zhao Yan's lips all the way down lightly, and after sliding from this corner of his mouth to that corner, he finally said four more words: "It's this mouth." ”

"Zixuan, let's let go first, can it be done?"

Zhao Yan was slightly embarrassed and continued to be careful, in fact, he also felt that what Li Zixuan said was not wrong, he didn't know how many stories he had told all the way south, if he didn't practice this mouth, would he be worthy of Huang Yi? Is he worthy of Wu Chengen? Is he worthy of Pu Songling? Is he worthy of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng?

"Don't let go! The county lord is in a bad mood at this time!"

Li Zixuan was still holding Zhao Yan's ears, although she didn't twist it so hard, she didn't mean to let go.

"Wanwan, Wanwan-don't just look at my jokes! We are also old comrades-in-arms who have been born and died, okay, even if you don't mention this, your relationship with Zixuan and her is also good, help stop this bad behavior!"

Zhao Yan could only turn to Wanwan instead.

Wanwan was already familiar with Zhao Yan in the end, and this Nizi turned her head with a smile, pretending that nothing had happened and left.

Zhao Yan, who was pinched by the ear, saw Fan Jiewu's eyes silently looking at Wanwan's back, which can clearly be described in a poignant word - stinging.

"Let go Zixuan, I'm suddenly not in the mood, I'll explain to you later, okay?"

Zhao Yan, who said this to Li Zixuan, was actually not very sympathetic to Fan Jiewu, he just did what he said, and suddenly he was in no mood.

"Okay, just let Erlang go for a while. ”

Sensing that Zhao Yan was not lying to herself, Li Zixuan simply let go. Lowered Zhao Yan's poor ears.

Li Zixuan is often crazy, but she has never been a stupid big sister.

"Thank you, Lord Ron. ”

Zhao Yan reluctantly made another joke, and then walked in front of Fan Jiewu and looked at Fan Jiewu like that.

"Is the master who helped you make gunpowder still alive?"

After a long time, Zhao Yan suddenly asked.

"Gunpowder?"

always met Zhao Yan's compelling gaze, and there was never the slightest hint of dodging Fan Jie's worries. Finally, he showed a surprised look.

Although Zhao Yan was talking about gunpowder, with Fan Jie's IQ, of course, he could already figure out what Zhao Yan was referring to in an instant.

It was actually easy to answer Zhao Yan's question, but Fan Xie wanted to know why Zhao Yan suddenly asked this question.

Every thought has a cause, just as every leaf must have its roots.

......

No one would have thought of it in advance. The first census of Jiankang City actually originated from a powerful combination of the gendarmerie flag corps and the special police flag corps to encircle and suppress the famous cult and extreme Taoism, which had long been explicitly banned.

People only remember that on that day, the swords, lights, swords, shadows, and swords of Wukeshu Street were in the sky, and then the screams were endless, and the blood was filled.

Then, the municipal cleaning workers in yellow vests carried out a full 237 headless corpses from No. 18 Wukeshu Street!

And the next day. After emergency treatment overnight, the two hundred and thirty-seven human heads were hung in cages at the four gates of Jiankang City.

There is also a big sign outside the four gates, and a few big characters are written on the sign in blood-red handwriting: "Death to those who believe in cults in vain!"

There are those scholars who can read a few baskets of large characters, and even in the lower right corner of these warning signs, they see a fake stamp, and in that stamps are a few quaint words - "Southern Zhenfu Envoy Seal".

Although no one will question the authenticity of the "Southern Zhenfu Envoy Seal", there is still an old pedant with the surname Confucius, pointing to the broken mark of the word "town". Speaking of the real things printed by the official seal of the southern pacification envoy, because during some riots on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, the official seal of the southern pacification envoy was bumped by the rebels, and although it was repaired, it could never be restored to its original appearance, and from then on, it could only continue to perform its effect with this broken imprint.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Zhao's envoy has been in the past few decades. The most powerful southern pacification envoys, right? The previous southern pacification envoys, not to mention the reconstruction of this civilized city, but to say that they have a foothold in this Jingyun Mountain, they can't stand at all!"

Someone sighed. As soon as you hear the accent, you know that it is obviously an outsider, of course, in fact, this person is indeed an outsider, which is from his full body and Jingyun Mountain...... The huge difference in the costumes of the thirty-five barbarians can already be seen.

"Of course, I can't stand on it, those southern pacification envoys don't have Xiao Zhao's ability to kill the three major martial arts sects of the Black Tower Department with a single sword, and they don't have the courage of Xiao Zhao's envoys to treat people inside and outside the mountain equally. ”

Judging from the way he dressed, he was obviously a barbarian Li Min in Jingyun Mountain, but this fluent official language also fully proved that this person was not mixed-race, or the so-called familiar barbarian who was close to people outside the mountain, of course, his biggest characteristic seemed to be that Xiao Zhao Zhenfu was a loyal supporter.

"Alas, have you heard? The gendarmes have dealt with the murderous gods of the special police team, but with the assistance of the police officers stationed in various streets, the remnants of the Chaji Taoist sect have been found street by street! I have heard that whoever is likely to worship a cult or evil god will immediately be arrested and tortured in a prison until he is recruited! I heard that there are a few guys who are not sober in their brains, and when they are suspected, they actually dare to resist, and the result is ......."

There is a gossip party that can't help but burn the fire of gossip when there are many people talking about it, and leak out the first strike hard action in Jiankang City, which is in full swing in the city.

Of course, as a senior gossip party, where to say half and leave half when talking about gossip is the most important test criterion to reflect whether a gossip party person is qualified, and this gossip party, which opens its mouth with the word sigh, is obviously worthy of the prefix of the word senior.

"What was the result?"

Someone immediately asked in a hurry.

"What else can I do? Those who violently resist the law, the law enforcers have the right to kill them on the spot, and in the Jiankang City Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, what has been written in Article 3 of the opening chapter, those gendarmes and special police can't wait for someone to violently resist the law, otherwise they have political achievements and show them to Xiao Zhao's envoy?"

The veteran gossip party hasn't had time to make up for the suspense he deliberately set. The conversation was snatched up by another person.

"Ah, isn't there a lot of people in the city who have been killed now? How should this be good, how should this be good, I heard people say that this Jiankang city is full of gold, and you can make a lot of money by bringing anything in, so I finally managed to scrape together a sum of money and pull the goods over, but I didn't think that I would encounter such a thing...... Oh, my God. If I don't get all my money, I'll have to sell myself as a slave! Damn, those damn extremist gangsters, how could they not come out sooner or later, but suddenly came out when I pulled this thing back, how could I be so unlucky?!"

There was a man who was clearly a small foreign businessman. He sighed and wailed.

"Don't listen to them, how can they be so scary, the gendarmerie and the special police team are bound by regulations, you also heard it just now - only those who violently resist the law will be killed, as long as you are not a cultist and can cooperate with the investigation, no one can be sorry for you, brother. Also, if you still feel mentally unsteady. Then find the police station to apply for a temporary residence permit for the floating population, and then take the temporary residence permit to the Department of Commerce to apply for a long-distance transport business license, and these two things, I guarantee that as long as you don't commit adultery, as long as you pay taxes on time, absolutely no one can touch your cold hair!"

It was about the miserable screaming of the little businessman, and soon there was someone next to him, in a slightly proud tone of incomparable affirmation. Said so with him.

"Ah, brother, what you said is true!?Is it true that as long as I get the temporary residence permit and business license you said, I can do business in this city safely?!"

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, the little merchant shouted in surprise before the person who had come up with his idea could finish speaking.

"Of course!" said the man who had made the idea, puffing up his chest proudly, and only after the little merchant's agitation had calmed down a little, did he finally say in a voice that everyone could hear, "Despicable." He was promoted to civil servant by Director Liu of the Department of Commerce, and now works for the Inland Revenue Department under the Department of Commerce. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd that had gathered because they had come to see the free head exhibition immediately exclaimed. Being able to serve as a civil servant in any of the eight divisions under the Southern Pacification Embassy is something that must be shouted at for these people, because it represents status, status, and wealth......

And this person who took the initiative to reveal his identity seems to have taken the initiative to expose his identity in order to enjoy this exclamation.

After all, he can actually say nothing, or take advantage of the asymmetry of information to extort some benefits from small businessmen, and then make these pointers mercifully, even if the time is exposed, how dare this small businessman come to him for trouble? The civil servants of the Eight Divisions, at least in Jiankang City at this moment, basically means that no one dares to provoke.

It has been said that time is money, but information is also wealth.

Because the information they have is not enough, the people who are screaming outside the city are actually not very aware that the gendarmes and special police who are conducting a large-scale search in the city at this moment are supervising every household that the police will investigate, and they are using expensive paper to record very detailed family information, and find out the number of people in these families, the names of family members, the beliefs of family members, the education level of family members, the ancestral places of family members, the place of birth, and so on.

The gendarmes, special police, and public security officers in charge of the execution didn't quite know why they wanted to investigate these things, they only knew that Xiao Zhao, who issued this order, seemed to be going to do a census, and then put what kind of identity cards, temporary residence permits, and other documents......
