Chapter 340 - An Daoquan reappears
The so-called cults are nothing more than evil organizations that carry out frenzied expansion and barbaric growth in the name of religion, and use such means as creating and spreading superstitions and heresies to confuse and deceive the people who do not know the truth, wantonly amass wealth, and endanger society.
Even in normal times, the activities of cults will bring turmoil to the country, not to mention that the Tang State has just experienced a major war, and the social foundation is unstable, and the people are more likely to cause chaos under the instigation of these people.
Therefore, once it is determined, then the official attitude of the Tang State is to eradicate it immediately and never tolerate it! And this is also the reason why Lin Yan's team acted today.
I thought that things wouldn't be too troublesome, who would have thought that it would be unfavorable for the teacher, Ah Liang and the others, who were originally the vanguard, were confused and fell into the other party's way. If Lin Yan hadn't come in time, maybe these soldiers would have been "rebelled"!
The preaching on the stage continued, followed by a burst of demagogic voices echoing in Lin Yan's ears, these voices were like female ghosts whispering in your ears, making you want to sink into it.
However, this method may be more effective for others, but it is of little use to Lin Yan. After all, he was also a master of the acquired realm in the past, how could he be affected by some sideways tricks?
After Lin Yan helped Ah Liang get out of trouble, he did not choose to continue to wake up the rest of the bewitched soldiers, so as not to startle the snake, but turned his head to look at the stage.
The so-called preaching has come to an end for the time being, and judging by the size of the number of people here, he speculates that there will be a big man today.
"If you can catch a big fish, it's worth it!" Lin Yan said secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, the preacher on the stage stopped preaching the doctrine and said to the audience: "Believers, today we have the honor to invite the altar master, the real 'agent of the god of the underworld', who will answer your questions and get rid of the sea of suffering!" ”
The crowd in the audience was restless, looking numb and crazy, raising their hands and shouting: "Welcome to the altar master!" The gods of the dead are immortal! ”
Lin Yan blended in the crowd, and also symbolically shouted with the crowd, after all, you still have to do a full set of plays!
Amid the shouts of the crowd, a man in a taupe robe slowly stepped onto the stage, and upon closer inspection, he saw that his robe was embroidered with gold threads, which was obviously expensive.
In addition, he also wore a golden mask on his face, the shape was exaggerated and weird, and there were many twisted branches around the edge of the mask, which were stretching in all directions unscrupulously, like countless human hands struggling outward, which made people dare not think deeply.
As soon as this person appeared, he stretched out his arms and slowly raised them over his shoulders, and his voice was thick and distant, with an indescribable meaning, and said: "The god of the underworld is immortal, bless all beings!" ”
The believers in the audience became even more crazy, chanting and shouting......
Lin Yan pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in his heart: "I have never heard of the god of the underworld being blessed, even if there is such a thing, I am afraid that it can only bring death!" Looking for him to bless him, it's a long life, right? ”
But the believers who have long been deluded don't care about this, they only believe what they believe. I'm afraid that in the eyes of these people at this moment, the so-called "god of the underworld" is the god who can really bring them happiness, and the sudden appearance of the altar master is their hope!
The altar master with the golden mask continued: "The Tang Emperor is a villain, a distant virtuous minister, and the appointment of traitors has led to chaos in the government and the opposition, and the country is restless! In the previous war, it was attacked by many parties, and it has lost the support of the people! ”
"As the saying goes, 'those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help', the war in the Tang Kingdom is precisely because the Tang Emperor has angered the heavens, which is a punishment from the heavens!"
As soon as these words came out, the believers all looked terrified, for them, the Tang State is their own country, and they are the Tang people, so it is not easy for them to doubt the Tang State and even turn their backs on the Tang State.
However, believers are even more in awe of the heavenly way of God and God. Mortals, all fear ghosts and gods, as the so-called "three feet above the head there are gods", as if there is such a transcendent mysterious force in the dark affecting the world.
As for the "Heavenly Dao Disaster", these believers actually believe it in their hearts, after all, this is not the first initiative of the altar master on the stage, but a saying that has long been circulated among the people.
If the emperor makes a big mistake and angers God, then he will send punishments such as: locust plagues, floods, droughts, and military plagues!
And this sudden war, Cangzhou Mansion fell for a time, and these low-level people were miserable, displaced, and their families were ruined! It turns out that all this is the fault of the emperor!
Gradually, the faces of these believers showed anger, and their fists clenched.
Seeing that the words just now had an effect, the altar master struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "The Tang Emperor is reckless in his military force, and he doesn't care about the lives of the people at the bottom, everyone is his tool to expand the territory and achieve the emperor's industry!" ”
"Such a person, such a dictator, is not tolerated by heaven after all! He and his Tang Kingdom will usher in the harshest judgment of the god of the underworld and go to destruction! ”
The emotions of the believers in the audience have been completely mobilized at this time, and their depressed, uneasy, and desperate emotions during this period seem to have found an outlet, which can ruthlessly vent these negative things that have been accumulated for a long time.
A woman who described her emaciation as having red eyes and cried out in a heart-rending voice: "That's it! My husband was a soldier, and he never came back after the barbarian invasion, and he didn't even see a corpse in the capital! ”
Some men beat their chests and said with remorse: "The county order fell in love with the beauty of my little sister and wanted to take her as a concubine, but after the little sister refused, she was forcibly taken away, and after being defiled, the little sister was humiliated and committed suicide by throwing herself into the well!" ”
"I hate the shamelessness of that dog official, hate my own incompetence, and hate the ruthlessness of this world. If I have the opportunity to meet Emperor Tang, I really want to ask him face to face, why is this? Why? ”
There was also an old woman, trembling and majestic: "A few acres of land in the old family were forcibly occupied by the landlord, and the son went to theorize, but was beaten to death, and the daughter-in-law was nowhere to be found, leaving only me, a lonely old woman and a little grandson, who might starve to death one day!" Where is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty? The old body can't see it! ”
“……”
Many of the believers present were burdened with unimaginable suffering, and this was just their daily life! Cruel, ruthless, but have to continue to grit their teeth and persevere!
Lin Yan is silent, he is also a person living at the bottom, and he can't empathize with the plight of these believers, but he can deeply understand it.
Unlike those big people, although they are in the same world and under the same blue sky, they are different from each other, and even different from birth!
Some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and they have no worries about food and clothing; However, some people have to run around for a living since they were young, and even if they have worked very hard, they still live a life without food.
The world is not equal, from the very beginning! The reason is that resources and wealth are in the hands of a small number of people, who have the right to speak, as if they are the truth of the world!
After seeing the poor people, he can shamelessly ask: "Why don't you eat minced meat?" Then he laughed wildly and turned away.
Contradictions and antagonisms have always existed, but at this special opportunity, the "Pluto Sect" intensified this contradiction, avoided the important and trivialized, and hyped up some remarks unfavorable to the Tang Kingdom, intending to use these believers to achieve some ulterior purposes!
Of course, Lin Yan doesn't think that the Tang Emperor is innocent, but it would be biased to attribute all the faults to one person! And he always felt that the voice of this guy who was bewitching everyone on stage was a little familiar, and he thought: "Could it be that I have seen him before?" ”
But Lin Yan was a little puzzled, because this guy's appearance was too flamboyant, and if he had seen it, he would definitely not have forgotten it, after all, it was not yet the time for his brain to be confused.
The task of their trip is to eradicate this branch of the "Pluto God Sect", and this time they accidentally caught the big fish of the altar master, which must not be easily let go.
However, with Lin Yan's keen sense, he found that the strength of this altar master was not ordinary, he was not an ordinary martial artist, he might have passed through the pulse realm to perfection, and even entered the acquired realm!
This is no joke! In the face of a martial artist of this level, it is not easy to capture. Especially his current state is a little delicate, the lost strength has not been recovered for a long time, and the only thing left is only the countless battle consciousness that he once had!
And the other party is not only the altar owner, he has no master under his hands, so Lin Yan doesn't believe it! Now that he is weak, he still has to get in touch with the cavalry outside first!
He turned his head to Ah Liang and whispered, "Go and get in touch with the brothers outside first, surround this place, and not let anyone go!" Also, send the message back to the camp and ask for the captain's support! ”
Ah Liang was also clever, nodded, and then quietly left outside. But just as he turned around, a voice suddenly sounded, as if it exploded in his ears: "Where are you going?" ”
Lin Yan's face sank, and he immediately shouted: "Go!" ”
Immediately, he drew his sword to open the way, and instantly killed several guards in the sect, covering Ah Liang to rush out, while he himself stayed here to break the rear.
The voice of the altar master continued: "Stop them! ”
Now that he has been targeted, Lin Yan is going to turn around and take the initiative, as long as he can drag these people, once the cavalry team arrives, it will not be so easy for them to break through and escape!
Lin Yan held a horizontal knife in his hand, rushing left and right between the guards in the sect who surrounded him, and he was extremely brave. The strength of these ordinary guards will not be very high, and the threat to Lin Yan is not strong, what he really cares about is still the altar master, this person is definitely a big trouble!
Suddenly, the altar took the initiative, his figure flashed, and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Yan, and pressed it directly at Lin Yan. The latter's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instinctively slashed at it, colliding with it.
"Click!"
As the two collided, the standard horizontal knife in Lin Yan's hand actually broke from it. However, the sharp aura contained in the blade also drew on the golden mask of the altar master, split in two, and then slipped down.
Lin Yan looked at the face that was gradually revealed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and blurted out: "An Daoquan?!" ”
