Shen Lian glanced at Tianji and said faintly: "The reaction is too slow, I've been with this official for so long, haven't you improved your reaction speed?" It's so easy to be affected by the things around you, Tianji, this can't be done! ”

"If this continues, you really won't have a chance to deceive me again."

Dimensity: "......"

Tianji had nothing to say.

Everything was said by Shen Lian.

And she also knew that she really couldn't fool Shen Lian with anything, and if she explained it now, it would be even more ridiculous.

So, just be a quiet beautiful man.

Shen Lian saw that Tianji didn't speak, laughed, and didn't say anything more, there were many people around, and it was easy to show his stuff if he talked too much.

In this way, he followed these people all the way.

After two streets, I finally stopped.

As soon as he got there, he found many people kneeling there, kowtowing their heads constantly.

And in front of them, a huge statue.

The statue can be a foot tall and is completely black, and it looks as if it was carved out of a large stone.

At this time, a small half of the statue is buried in the earth, and the other half is exposed.

The statue is carved of a woman, this woman is delicate, the face is beautiful, at this time is looking gently ahead, not to mention...... It really feels like a mother in the world.

"Tianji, have you ever seen this statue?" Shen Lian asked.

Tianji browled and looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I don't remember it at all." ”

"Have you ever seen this statue look like? Is it based on the appearance of someone in your Beidou Society? ”

Shen Lian said: "Such a figurative statue will definitely not be carved blindly for no reason, even if there is no such person, it must refer to one or some people, otherwise it must not be carved like this." ”

…………

"So do you have any ideas? Feeling familiar? ”

"You don't need to be familiar with the whole picture, it can be a certain detail, such as the eyes, such as the nose, you can do it."

Tianji looked at the statue in front of him for a long time.

Then she frowned, was silent for a moment, and shook her head again.

"Still not impressed."

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and shook his head.

He believed that it was impossible for Dimensity to be completely ignorant.

But Tianji deliberately concealed it, and Shen Lian couldn't help it.

He didn't have the ability to read minds, and even if he had amazing insight, he couldn't have noticed everything.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and didn't think about it anymore.

With his investigation, it is always possible to investigate clearly.

And now, he just wants to see what is going on with this so-called heaven and earth mother's manifestation.

Shen Lian retreated from the crowd and walked to the side of the street.

Because these people are all believers of the Beidou Niangniang.

When they saw this black statue at this moment, they all knelt down and prayed.

So if Shen Lian was still standing there, everyone else was kneeling, and he was the only one standing, then he would be too conspicuous and too special.

So Shen Lian took this opportunity and came directly to the side of the street, and there were still many people on the street pointing and pointing, and they did not bow down like those believers, which made Shen Lian not so obvious.

Obviously, no religion can convince everyone.

After all, there are still people who don't believe it.

"Beidou Niangniang has appeared!"

At this moment, a cry suddenly sounded.

And all the people went according to the prestige.

Shen Lian also looked over.

On the side of the statue, there was a man in a robe of the sun and the moon, singing something to the statue.

After a while, he suddenly turned around, faced the kneeling believer, and said loudly: "Beidou Niangniang feels everyone's piety, feels everyone's faith, and is about to manifest!" ”

"And at the moment when Beidou Niangniang manifests, the hope in the letter is also the easiest opportunity for Beidou Niangniang to perceive and realize!"

"So everyone must be pious, must not have distracting thoughts, with a pious heart, pray for the favor of Beidou Niangniang!"

Those believers seemed to have been brainwashed at this time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing over and over again, shouting: "Ask Beidou Niangniang to manifest!" ”

Finally, it seems that the faith of the believers is really felt.

The black statue, at this moment, suddenly moved!

True, no one touched it, it moved on its own.

This scene was seen by all the believers.

Suddenly, these believers became even more fanatical.

"The mother has appeared!"

"Mother's bless!"

"Please bless me!"

The faithful shouted loudly.

And the statue of the Big Dipper Niangniang, as if she really heard the words of the believers, became taller and taller.

No...... It's not that the statue has gotten taller.

It was the statue that was originally buried in the ground, and at this time, it automatically broke free from the ground.

It was as if it was about to break out of the land.

This scene deeply shocked the believers, and the believers became more and more fanatical.

Even the people who were watching the excitement from the side at the beginning, when they saw this scene, they all knelt down directly and began to pray as well.

Shen Lian and the others were on the side, and they clearly saw this scene.

At this moment, the snake and the others were also shocked.

The snake couldn't help but say, "Is it really a manifestation?" ”

Tianji's brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Shen Lian sneered.

"Apparitions? Interesting! ”

He turned his head to look at Tianji, saw Tianji's brows tightened, and asked, "Do you see what kind of trick it is?" ”

"Tricks?" The snake was stunned.

Shen Lian smiled: "Do you really think that the heaven and earth Niangniang manifested?" ”

The snake frowned, still unable to understand what was going on.

He saw it very clearly.

There was no one near the huge statue, so there was no elevation caused by being touched.

And the sculpture is very heavy at first glance, and it is not something that one or two people can lift.

So now he really doesn't understand, he doesn't understand what the hell is going on, why this statue can move on its own.

"Dimensity, explain to the snake?" Shen Lian said to Tianji.

Tianji frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said, "It should be something buried under the stone statue." ”

"What's buried?" The snake was stunned.

Shen Lian said with a smile: "It may be something like beans, as long as you add water, these things will automatically sprout." ”

"Don't underestimate the sprouts, the power of nature is great, and the power of these sprouts is also very terrifying."

"And when the beans sprout, as long as the temperature is suitable, it is completely possible to estimate when they will germinate quickly and germinate in a large area."

"Therefore, you only need to bury the beans under the stone statue in advance, then water them regularly, calculate the time, and then call the believers over, and naturally ......"

Shen Lian looked at the pious scene in front of him, and said with a smile: "Naturally...... You can see the manifestation of this so-called heaven and earth mother. ”

When the snake heard Shen Lian's explanation, he suddenly realized.

"So that's the case, young master, I was almost deceived."

Shen Lian smiled: "People who don't understand, it's too easy to be deceived, look at so many believers, it is estimated that they have been deceived like this over and over again, and finally they will believe completely." ”

He glanced at Tianji on the side and said, "Why don't you Beidou fool people like this in Datang?" ”

Tianji did speak this time.

She said: "Datang is different from Nanzhao, Datang has thousands of years of cultural inheritance and its own spiritual inheritance, and such people are the most difficult to believe in anything." ”

"But Nanzhao is different, Nanzhao has been founded for a short time, culture has long been interrupted, and the people have no cultural and spiritual inheritance, and they need some faith to live, so naturally in Nanzhao, it is very effective to promote these."

"But in Datang, this trick will not work, and not only will it not work, if it does, it will be arrested by the government, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Shen Lian smiled and nodded.

Indeed, Datang and Nanzhao are two completely different countries.

The Tang Dynasty has the cultural heritage of hundreds of schools, the teachings of Confucianism and Taoism, and the persistence of generations of capable people with lofty ideals.

These are the most helpless aspects of those so-called religions.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, but Datang is really seamless.

Spirit, heritage, culture, and sometimes the most powerful armament!

Shen Lian said: "This is the sorrow of not having a inheritance! ”

The snake was silent.

Tianji was not silent either.

Gradually, the sculpture of the Big Dipper stopped moving.

The man in the Sun and Moon Dao robe at the front opened his arms and said: "If we want to make our wish come true, we must let Beidou Niangniang feel our piety, so now for Beidou Niangniang, dedicate everything to yourself!" ”

As he spoke, a person dressed in the same clothes walked into the believers with boxes one after another.

Then I saw that these believers gave generously and put all the good things they were carrying in the box.

Shen Lian looked at this scene, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "You Beidou really have a hand in collecting money, this is much simpler than doing business or something, there is no cost, there is no need to make more preparations, it is directly like picking up money." ”

"You have received so much money, and these believers have to thank you!"

"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

Tianji pursed his lips and said, "I don't like to cheat money from ordinary people. ”

"If it were me, I would only plunder money from the rich merchants and gentry, or simply from the imperial court, and I would not deceive these ordinary people who are already living a bad life!"

Shen Lian was surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such a noble idea, this official is about to be moved by you." ”

Tianji said calmly: "A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, Qin Wenyuan, although I am a daughter, I also have my own set of principles." ”

Shen Lian smiled.

He could tell that Tianji was not lying now.

It also shows that Dimensity really thinks so.

That's interesting.

It seems that Tianji is really a principled bad person?

And she was very disdainful of this practice of defrauding the people of their money, and she pouted her mouth just now, does this show that he once opposed this practice?

But in the end, it didn't work out?

So this is one of the contradictions between her and the Beidou Society?

Is it also one of the contradictions that break between the two?

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, but his face didn't show anything.

He said, "Okay, I've seen the show, let's go back." ”

So saying, he turned and walked.

"Shen Lian."

At this time, Tianji chased after him and said, "You don't want to stop them from deceiving the people?" ”

Shen Lian smiled: "It's not my people of the Tang Dynasty, what do I care about them?" ”

"And this is Nanzhao, an enemy country, you asked me to stop them...... Is this wishing I was found out and then in trouble? ”

Dimensity frowned.

I wanted to say something, but I hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't speak.

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji, smiled, and said, "But this official is really interested in the religion that this Beidou Society has made. ”

"So, Dimensity ......"

Shen Lian sent out an invitation: "Are you interested in accompanying this official to explore the Beidou Temple at night tonight?" ”

The Beidou Temple is where the so-called Beidou Niangniang is located.

And the Beidou Temple sounds more like a Taoist Taoist temple.

But in fact, the Beidou Temple has nothing to do with the Taoist Taoist Temple at all.

Taoism originates from many myths in the Central Plains, and is a cultural belief that has been passed down for thousands of years.

But the Beidou Niangniang of the Beidou Concept is like a rootless duckweed, completely faked by you, and is an evil man.

However, the places where believers worship in both have a view of the word, and the people of the Beidou Temple wear the sun and moon robes, which are slightly similar to the traditional Taoist robes, if you don't know very well, it is easy to confuse the two, thinking that the Beidou Temple is a kind of Taoist temple.

But in reality, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Shen Lian even suspected in his heart that the creator of the Beidou Temple, that is, Beichen, or other stars, was a forgery that was imitated by referring to or simply copying the ideas of Taoism.

When Tianji heard Shen Lian's words, he couldn't help but look at Shen Lian, frowned, and said, "You want to explore the Beidou Temple at night?" Why? ”

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Curious." Aren't you curious? ”

"Is this Beidou really just a tool for the Beidou to simply collect money? Or is there something else secret? ”

"And the Beidou view is the only thing in the Beidou Society on the bright side, maybe we can find some secrets of the Beidou Society from the Heaven and Earth View."

"Therefore, no matter what the reason, this Beidou view, this official must check it once."

"How? Would you like to go and see it together? ”

Shen Lian invited Tianji.

In fact, he originally didn't want to take Tianji, after all, it is not easy to watch the Beidou Temple at night.

And Tianji, a deceitful person, if he does something in the Beidou Temple, he may sabotage his plan and even put himself in danger.

But today, when he saw Tianji's disgust and disgust with Beidou Guan accumulating money, Shen Lian suddenly changed his mind.

It is true that Tianji has his ulterior calculations, but in some places, he still has some things in common with himself.

Therefore, Shen Lian changed his mind and wanted to see if his judgment was correct.

Of course, he can't be defenseless at all, he is fully prepared, even if Tianji does something at that time, he can leave safely.
