Chapter Ninety-Eight: Preaching
Zhang Yunqing's brows were furrowed, his ears and eyes were clear, even if he was hundreds of meters away, it was still enough to hear the whispers of that group of sneaky military men truly.
'Another ...... who wants to rebel and go crazy'
He waved the sleeves of his robe and summoned Lu Liang to secretly instruct: "Do you see a few men over there?" ”
"See."
"Go and control them, tell them that they can join the church if they want to, and stop thinking about putting on a yellow robe for me to rebel, go ahead."
Lu Liang's face was shocked, and he looked at the soldiers gathered in a pile on the side of the road in surprise, and hurriedly hugged his fists and hurried away.
Xiao Wuzheng said that he was up: "...... I will wait for death to spin my heel, kill until the Jingshi takes the bird position, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Daozi of the Immortal Sect will ascend to the throne, and our brothers will only be some generals, and we will make everyone in the world unfed! So that the people will not have hunger, and it will be difficult to beg! ”
The third brother and the seventh brother nodded frequently, feeling that this was reasonable.
Leng Buding saw a pair of big hands slammed on Xiao Wu's shoulder!
Several of them were mixed up in the army, and their vigilance was still very high, and they immediately reached into their arms without hesitation and held the hidden weapons.
Xiao Wu still had a smile on his face, but he just held the dagger on his waist like a lightning bolt in his left hand, and reflexively went towards the chest and abdomen of the person behind him.
Lu Liang's arm pressed down slightly, and easily pinched Xiao Wu's wrist, the latter groaned in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang.
Only then did a few people see the appearance of the person who came.
The white cyan Taoist robe he washed and washed had a very delicate pattern on his neck, which made a significant difference from the Taoists next to him.
It turned out to be the Taoist leader of the Immortal Sect.
Xiao Wu saw Lu Liang's appearance clearly, and immediately knew that he had overreacted, and hurriedly said: "Ouch, it turned out to be the Immortal Sect Daoist, and the villain thought that someone patted me on the shoulder for some reason, and the Daoist spared me!" ”
Lu Liang snorted coldly, glared at him, looked around at a few people, and asked, "Do you want to join the sect?" ”
Hearing this, several people were in good spirits, and they nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we are willing to join the Immortal Sect!" ”
Immediately, a few people scratched the back of their heads in confusion, and asked embarrassedly: "This, I haven't even gone to find the Taoist yet, why did the Taoist find me first?" Could it be that this Immortal Sect is so unable to absorb disciples? ”
Xiao Wuxi smiled and retorted, "What do you know? It must be that I have clear bones and good thoughts, and this is in the eyes of the old fairy! ”
Lu Liang stroked his beard and said lightly: "Poor Dao is not an old immortal, the road number is Qingfeng, you can call me Qingfeng Zhenren." ”
Several people bowed in unison: "I've seen Qingfeng real people." ”
"Hmm." Lu Liang nodded and replied: "It's not that Poor Dao has taken a fancy to you and others, but that you gathered here to talk about some disrespectful things, and my Daozi heard it." ”
"The head of the sect said that you can join the sect if you want to, but don't say anything about rebellion."
Speaking of this, a hint of threat appeared in Lu Liang's eyes, and he looked around at the stunned crowd, and said: "My sect's plans are far away, and Fei'er and other mortals can think about it, the so-called thinking is wrong, and guessing is wrong. If you can keep to yourself, it will not be difficult to accept a few of you to enter the wall, but you must be cautious about teaching the law, otherwise you will be the first to find trouble in the future! ”
Several people looked at each other in surprise, and then looked sideways, confirming that they and the others had deliberately lowered their voices and never approached anyone when they were talking, how could others listen to the content of the conversation?
"This, I don't know what the real person says, but which one can't do it?"
Xiao Wu looked at the Taoist who was meditating on the cloud head with some fear, but saw Lu Liang nodding with a smile: "Yes, that one is our master, also known as the Taoist, is the only true person in the world today, with unpredictable immortal magic power, is a true immortal disciple of the world, specially designed to cross the common people and descend to the world, otherwise he would have already entered the ranks of the immortals, and can be said to be immortals in the world!" ”
Xiao Wu and the others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and repented in their mouths, calling them guilty.
Although they have heard and seen some information about the Immortal Sect, such as knowing that those who believe in the Immortal Sect can be treated preferentially in reincarnation, and for example, the name of the steward of the Immortal Sect is called the head of the Daozi.
These deeds are being talked about and discussed from Hexi Road to Lin'an City.
But they didn't know that the Taoist who was sitting on the top of the clouds was the legendary Daozi himself, and they thought that person was the legendary Immortal Venerable.
After all, only immortals can soar through the clouds.
In their imagination, no matter how extraordinary or miraculous they are, they should be as mortal as themselves.
Who would have thought that this head of the Immortal Sect would be able to stand up for the clouds, wouldn't this be a first-class figure of the true immortals in the world?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up slightly, thinking of Qingfeng Dao Chang Fangcai's one-handed countering of his movements, which was not at all like the other party's drooping and decrepit appearance.
His eyes and hands are even more fierce than that of a battle-hardened veteran, and once he holds his wrist, he can't use all his strength.
Standing beside him, he felt an inexplicable sense of coercion, as if he was confronting a big insect with colorful eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Could it be that the immortals of this Immortal Sect each have spells in their bodies?
Thinking of this, they immediately knelt down and bowed together, and shouted in their mouths: "Please ask the old fairy to accept me and wait for me to join the religion!" ”
Lu Liang smiled and said, "Get up!" ”
Several people looked happy, and they all felt that the old fairy must have accepted it, and they got up one after another.
saw Lu Liang shook his head again: "It is naturally not difficult for you to join the church, but it is not feasible to kowtow to the poor road." ”
Seeing that a few people were puzzled, he explained: "I will preach in this village later, and at that time, I will answer all the villagers' questions and inform them of the details of their initiation, and then we can also come to register the directory together." ”
"When the eight-character book is included in the list, and the Tao is given, it can be regarded as truly entering the gate wall of my sect. After all, everything must be done in accordance with the rules, can you know? ”
Several of them were from the military, and they knew that all the big forces needed to act according to the rules, otherwise they would be chaotic and collapse on their own, so they immediately nodded and responded in unison.
Xiao Wu's face was still a little embarrassed, and he looked at Lu Liang and asked, "Old immortal, didn't you also hear me say that I was going to rebel?" Otherwise, how could you deliberately point out that I should not wait for me to speak nonsense and rebellious words? ”
Lu Liang blew his beard and glared: "Do you need to say this?" Naturally, I heard it! Daozi is the body of a heavenly immortal, looking at the Three Realms and listening to all directions. If he is willing, he can listen to the prayers of the people of the world on behalf of the Immortal Venerable, not to mention the nonsense of a few of you hairy boys? ”
The third brother and Lao Qi both had bitter faces, recalling what Xiao Wu said about the words of the fish-belly book collector and stone man carving, and they couldn't wait to bury themselves in the soil.
Lu Liang glanced at the few people who were uneasy: "What kind of open-mindedness is the master of the Dao? How can you care about the lying words of waiting? As long as you don't mean to tease the immortals and have disrespectful thoughts towards the Tao. Daozi will not condemn you and wait. ”
Several people sincerely bowed their hands and knelt down: "Daozi is righteous!" ”
After revealing this experience, a few people finally returned to their usual faces, and they fantasized about the beautiful life of joining the Immortal Sect with longing on their faces.
……
At dusk, after another round of porridge, the whole village was gathered and gathered at the porridge shed at the entrance of the village.
Hundreds of people formed a circle, Liu Ling and his two sons stood in front, and some of the big families in the village stood respectfully at the bottom, waiting for the Dao elders of the Immortal Sect to speak.
The remaining hundreds of people honestly squatted outside, looking enviously at the Immortal Sect Elders who were interspersed back and forth to maintain order.
Lu Liang coughed lightly, stood in front of everyone, raised the horn made of iron sheet and shouted: "Folks, I gathered everyone today mainly to tell you two things!" ”
"First of all, we will stay in the village for a day, tomorrow it will be here, at the same time, you can prepare the dishes and chopsticks at home and come here to receive a day's relief food!"
Hearing this, a great sense of fear appeared on the faces of many villagers.
Not only did they not feel that it was a wonderful thing to be able to receive a day's worth of white porridge, but the worry that had always lingered in their hearts and was unwilling to think about it finally broke out......
These Taoist leaders will definitely not give them porridge here for the rest of their lives, and one day they will leave.
But no one could have imagined that this day would come so quickly!
The group of ordinary people, who had been dull before, suddenly boiled over.
Lu Liang smiled wryly, it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of situation.
Without waiting for the situation to escalate, he continued to hold up the bullhorn and shouted, "This does not mean that the Immortal Sect has abandoned you! On the contrary, we must go, because this disaster is not only in this village, but also tens of thousands of people who are about to starve to death within a radius of 100 miles! ”
"But the old immortals, the people in our village are going to starve to death......"
In the crowd, a white-haired old man with tears in his eyes mustered up the courage to chatter.
Liu Ling almost endured the fear in his heart and the uncertainty of the future, and turned around to scold the old man to sit down quickly and not make a noise.
Lu Liang smiled and waved his hand to stop him, and said, "The old man is right, if we leave, you who have lost your food source will definitely lack food and clothing." ”
The whispers of the people widened again.
"But we can't go unsaved from the rest of the people! My Immortal Sect does not have one family and one surname in mind, but the common people of Li Min! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.
No one can criticize the correctness of the Taoist chief's words.
From a legal point of view, the people of the family are not related to the people in our village, and they come to distribute food for two days when the big guy is about to starve to death, and they are all rice and white porridge, pickles and sesame oil that they usually dare not think of.
And also free to help everyone heal their injuries, many of the villagers who were seriously injured and dying of the plague were mostly healed after receiving a blessing from the Immortal Sect in the afternoon.
This time and again to save the life and help the wounded, on average, each village person owes two lives to the Immortal Sect.
Logically speaking, people are leaving not for anything else, but to help more people who are dying like them.
They are reasonable, and they have no reason to forcibly keep people to stay and be responsible for the rest of their lives.
Of course, the ordinary people didn't think of such a far-reaching idea, and immediately cried and begged the Taoist elders to stay.
When it comes to the lucrative things in front of them, these people often choose to take them for themselves.
This does not mean that all the people at the bottom of the society are jackals, tigers and leopards without sympathy and empathy, but it is entirely the instinctive thirst for resources of the poor class who have been lacking resources for a long time.
The so-called warehouse is enough to know etiquette.
People who lack resources are often calculating.
Because the group of people who don't like to calculate are basically dead.
This is the experience of their parents.
People who are well-prepared naturally don't care, and they can even do some good things that harm their own interests and take care of others.
Others will also write a special book for this kind of behavior, and then give this person the name of a folk good man and rich businessman, praising him for being really heartfelt for the people and the Great Song Dynasty.
And then turn around and blame those who hide in dark corners and wonder where their next meal is.
Think that the former is heartfelt and selfless, and the latter is full of calculations.
Lu Liang knew the truth, and he did not show dissatisfaction with the selfishness of these people, but said calmly: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, and listen to me finish this second thing." ”
"What we believe in is the immortal immortal, who is grateful for the suffering of the people in the world, and specially descended the Tao to purify the world.
Relief for the victims is only the first step of our aspiration, and our ambition is to sweep away the suffering in the world and restore a fair world to the people! ”
In the crowd, Xiao Wu smashed his mouth: "...... Doesn't that mean the same thing as me? ”
Lao Qi patted his head and reprimanded: "Listen honestly, don't think about your crooked ways!" ”
"To do that, we have to figure out where this suffering comes from!"
Lu Liang recalled the various books he had read when he was studying at the Immortal Academy, and his heart was boiling: "The so-called suffering does not appear naturally for no reason, but because of the existence of external forces, which hinders you from living a happy life!" ”
"Seventy percent of the grain you grow will be turned into all kinds of land taxes, taxes, miscellaneous taxes, exemption money, rates, and money!"
"After a year of hard farming, it's hard to even feed a family of three."
"Not to mention gritting your teeth and selling some grain squeezed out of your teeth in exchange for linen clothes and shoes."
"If there is a lack of seeds when planting in the coming year, and we have to borrow green seedlings, if there is a headache and brain fever, I don't dare to ask the doctor to see a doctor, so I can only hold on."
"When you are lucky, you will get through, if your luck is bad, you will be in danger of selling your land and breaking your family in an instant!"
"Think about it, is this kind of hard life for no reason, or is it because others have imposed it on you?"
Lu Liang's words, listening to the people who had not read the book, were ignorant, and a look of thought appeared on their faces.
Those who had read a few books were all shocked, and they all looked at each other: "This Immortal Sect, isn't it going to rebel?!" ”
Xiao Wuyi slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I'll just say, I still have to rebel, against his mother!" ”
