770. The preacher is their accomplice
Moro bowed lightly.
He said: "The lamas of the time did not dare to be very close to the capital of the ancient Qiang Kingdom, for fear that they would be discovered after all, and what they did would be exposed and condemned, so they took their people to move to a far away place, that is, this area, and lived an isolated life. ”
However, they were accustomed to extravagance in the past, and as soon as their conditions deteriorated, their lives were hard, and there was no one to serve, they were very unaccustomed to it, and they could not bear it in a few years. It's just that they didn't dare to go back, and after weighing the two, someone finally came up with a solution. ”
When Shen Li heard this, his heart ached, and the ghost made him think of what he had heard from Mu Tangzhou before, as well as the rumor that someone had disappeared in Serincuo Lake all the year round, and most of the people who came here did not go back.
"Could this be the ......" she frowned, "let people come here, stay and worship them, so that they can continue to enjoy a luxurious life?" ”
Moro glanced at Shen Li.
The plausible irony in his eyes became heavier.
He said, "Yes, you're smart." ”
Shen Li's eyes widened, feeling that this was simply incredible, and said, "They really did it?" No, it's not something that can be done in a nutshell. ”
"Of course it's not easy, and they've spent a long time doing it." "They have to do it, and they don't want people to find out, and they can't enjoy it for a while, and they can't let them enjoy it for a long time." So how to continue justifiably has become something they need to worry about. However, they quickly solved it, and it was precisely by using the ascension rhetoric they had previously spread to attract people to come over willingly. ”
And the first step is to send someone back and find the first person who has a perfect past. The method they used was also very ingenious, and after a long period of observation, they chose a heart that greatly respected the legends of the ancient Qiang Kingdom and was also devout to the Buddha, and gave him medicine and long-term hints, inducing him to have a dream of the so-called gods and Buddhas guiding him. ”
Shen Li was slightly stunned, thinking of the rumors that Namu had told him not long ago.
Moro's voice was neither sad nor joyful, and he continued: "This person doesn't know anything, he really thinks that he has been favored by the gods and Buddhas, and excitedly tells others, but no one believes it. But he was determined to himself, packed his luggage, and resolutely set out on the road far away despite the opposition of his family and friends. After many ups and downs and dangers, he finally met the so-called Ancient Qiang Kingdom, and the people he saw were like gurus with complete merits and compassion. ”
They told him that even though they had ascended, they could not let go of the world and wanted to spread more Dharma that the world could not reach. And his sincerity touched the heavens, and he was chosen as a destined person. The man was very excited when he heard this, and vowed to live up to his expectations, no matter how much hardship he endured, he would devote himself to learning and spreading the Buddha's path far. He just stayed. ”
With that, Moro suddenly stopped and looked up at the old room.
Time has passed, and the walls are a little cracked.
"Legend has it that the man lived here at the time."
Shen Li was stunned.
"But at that time, the conditions were far from what they are now, and there was only a bed on the ground, not even a bedding to protect from the cold and a stove to keep warm. Not only did he live here, but he was also responsible for the daily necessities of the thirty-six lamas, the other forty-nine monks, and all the chores of the monastery, getting up early and working non-stop at night, and trying to find time to study the scriptures. ”
“??” Shen Li was incredulous: "He...... Don't he think there's anything? That's it?? ”
Moro said in a light tone: "He thought it was a test given to him by God. Don't you foreigners have a saying, those who are about to descend from heaven to the people must first suffer their minds and strain their muscles and bones. ”
Shen Li: "......"
Shen Li said: "But this sentence is for normal people who are tough and not afraid of hardship, not for fools." ”
Morro: "............"
Moro stared at Shen Li.
Shen Li felt a little chilly inexplicably, and directly changed the topic: "What happened later?" ”
Only then did Moro retract his gaze and said lightly: "A few years later, he really learned." ”
"Huh??"
Shen Li's face was shocked.
“…… Put away that look on your face. Morro's face darkened inexplicably, "Otherwise, you go out, I don't really want to tell you." ”
Shen Li immediately smiled: "Senior, please speak." ”
"......" Moro took a slight breath and said, "Anyway, he learned it." The people in the temple also told him that he could go back. He also hinted that he wanted more devout believers to come and spread the word along with him. He believed it and waded back, which surprised those who thought he had had an accident and his life and death were unknown. It's just that those people didn't believe in him until he had won the Tao with dozens of masters, and they began to believe in him. After his preaching, sure enough, many people went to look for the ancient Qiang country, but ......"
"Those people didn't go back, something happened to them, and someone found a corpse in the place where the so-called Guqiang country lived, right?" Shen Li paused when he saw him, and answered.
Moro was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Shen Li asked, "Did that person start questioning?" ”
"At first, he didn't, because he knew how steep it was, and he thought it was because the people there didn't make it. But as the years passed, when the news of the accident always came, he began to question it. It's just that then he had a dream, and the gods and Buddhas in the dream told him that it was only because of the insincerity of those people that he could not go back. ”
Mo Luo's voice became even hoarse, he took a sip of water, and only said after a while: "But this is because those people in the ancient Qiang Kingdom know the rumors questioned by outsiders, and they are afraid of being exposed, so they will send people to find him and use him to cover him with old methods." But at the time, the man didn't know it, and thought it was really like that. His rhetoric dispelled everyone's suspicions, and more people went, and a few really smooth and safe roads were found. ”
That person was actually a little relieved, with a safe road, there were not so few people who had accidents. But what I didn't expect was that someone still had an accident. At this time, the man finally had doubts and felt that something was not right, so he said goodbye and hurried back to see what was going on with the alcohol. ”
Morro's eyes were slightly cold.
"He's walked through twice, and going back was a breeze for him. But when he returned, he saw a very different scene than he had imagined. The temple he once remembered had long since been empty and desolate, and the people who lived there had gone somewhere else and built a new country, drunk, extravagant, and abusive. Slaves, torture countless. ”
At this point, he understood everything that had been deceived before. He finds people he knows and asks them, and what he gets is the truth that makes his cognition collapse and unsightly, so he is angry and wants to go back and expose their crimes to the world. ”
Shen Li said: "It's useless, I'm afraid they won't even give him a chance to go." The man found out about their plan, and there was only one end - death. Then they raise up new preachers to continue their evil deeds. ”
