Zhou Xiaoxin said that as long as you don't meet the three plague gods, I have always had a good life, and when I see this guy today, there must be nothing good, thinking of this, he straightened his face and asked, "Am I very familiar with you?"

Xiao Jinyan laughed and said: "My lord is really a noble person, I gave you a gift back then!"

It turns out that they have known each other for a long time!

Hearing Xiao Jinyan say that he was giving gifts, Liu Youcai showed a look of understanding. This Lord Zhou, for gifts, from gold and silver jewelry, land deeds, to peanuts, mung beans, and trivial things, he really does not refuse. Now that I know each other, the matter of recommending Xiao Jinyan has become halfway.

But he heard Zhou Xiao say: "This official is busy with official business, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "It seems that Lord Zhou took the initiative to see me, right?"

"Oh, yes, did I say that?" Zhou Xiao asked, "Liu Youcai, what's going on?"

As soon as Zhou Xiao denied it, this cauldron was carried to Liu Youcai, however, carrying the blame for the leader is also a necessary skill for the survival of officialdom, but the timing of the blame, the content of the blame and the opportunity cost must be measured clearly and grasped properly, at least for now, Zhou Xiao has won the attention of the King of Shu, and he covers the sky with one hand in Xiangyang City, and it is worth carrying this pot!

Liu Youcai knelt down again: "If you don't do your job effectively, please punish your lord." ”

"Thinking of your first offense, the official doesn't blame you. "With that, I'm leaving.

Xiao Jinyan came to him in two steps and blocked the door, Zhou Xiao's heart was excited, "What do you want to do?"

"Lord Zhou, have you ever heard of the Bliss Sect?"

"I've heard a little. ”

Xiao Jinyan questioned again: "They connived at the disciples to kill people in the city, and the crimes they committed were outrageous, and as the parents of the people, the adults should severely punish the murderers, but they sat back and ignored them, is this like words?"

Zhou Xiao knew that Xiao Jinyan was good at martial arts, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he returned to the side hall.

Originally, he heard Liu Youcai say that there was a Jianghu man who had made a great contribution, and there were very few masters in Xiangyang City, and it was a troubled time, so he wanted to hire him as his bodyguard with a high salary, but who expected that after seeing Xiao Jinyan, he was an old enemy, and he had already put this matter behind him.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of the destruction of the Liu Mansion needs to be fully coordinated by this official. Now that the murderer has been arrested and the case has been solved, he is just a follower of the Bliss cult and has confessed to the crime. How can you prove that the tragedy of the destruction of the Liu Mansion was instigated by the Cult of Bliss? Perhaps it was a vendetta between Wang Zizai and the Liu Mansion? Without real evidence, this official cannot presume that the Cult of Bliss is guilty on the basis of some news that catches the wind and shadows. ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless when he said this.

How to prove that the destruction of the Liu Mansion was instigated by the Bliss Sect?

This is imminent.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What if I can find evidence?"

Zhou Xiao said awe-inspiringly: "This official will send troops to encircle and suppress the Extreme Happiness Sect, and give the Liu family justice!"

"Aren't you afraid of offending the King of Shu?"

Zhou Xiao said: "I'm afraid, but the people need an explanation more! On the side of the King of Shu, I will explain to him in person!"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Okay, I'll go find evidence for you!"

......

In the evening, Xiao Jinyan and Liu Youcai came to the place where the rudder of the Bliss Sect was located - extremely optimistic.

Extremely optimistic was originally a Taoist temple in Xiangyang City, whose real name was Sanqingguan, after the catastrophe, the people of the Cult of Bliss invaded this Taoist temple with a trick, and drove out the original Taoist priests and others.

It became extremely optimistic, and it became a place for them to spread their teachings.

The three brand-new gilded characters of extreme optimism have replaced the original Sanqingguan.

However, the couplets on the gates and the statues of the gods enshrined in the temple are still the same as before. Only in the main hall, craftsmen are reshaping a two-zhang high statue of the god - the god of bliss. In the past few days, the idol has been completed, and now it is covered with a red cloth, and today is the time when the idol is unveiled.

Xiao Jinyan and Liu Youcai relied on the teachings of Qian Wu and Qian Liu to be extremely optimistic.

They wore robes and hats covering half of their faces, not afraid of being recognized.

There were more than 100 celebrities gathered in the courtyard, all of them were robes and hats to cover their faces, and all the believers waited in the courtyard with their heads bowed, and refused to talk, which also saved the two a lot of trouble, at least they would not be recognized by people by talking indiscriminately. The two of them found a secluded corner and observed the extremely optimistic building.

Two watches.

Suddenly, I saw that in the side hall, the light was shining, and white smoke immediately came out.

After the white smoke, a man appeared in the hall, the left golden boy and the right jade girl, accompanied by the left and right.

Everyone performed the Bliss Sect with a cross-handed salute, "Welcome to the Archdeacon!"

The man, who was forty years old and of thin stature, came slowly in front of them and did not stop to walk towards the door of the main hall. Seeing this, the rest of the people followed one after another, and Xiao Jinyan and Liu Youcai also took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd.

The archdeacon came to the door of the main hall, crossed his hands, folded them in front of his chest, and began to chant.

"Bless the world, God of Bliss!"

All the disciples said in unison: "God of Bliss, please bless the world!"

"The sins of the world do not cleanse the holy soul and dispel the troubles of our world. Only the God of Bliss can shock him! The God of Bliss, who rules over all things, will descend on the earth!"

"Worship, disciples, worship, disciples, under the teachings of the god of bliss, we are united, we will conquer everything, and we will regain the pure land on earth!"

"Worship, Cultists, Worship, Cultists, and welcome the God of Bliss to earth with our most devout souls!"

The rest of the people followed the archdeacon and read together.

Everything is eerie and mysterious.

Xiao Jinyan and Liu Youcai were mixed in, and they also chanted indiscriminately.

Whether it is a religion or a sect, this sense of ritual is needed to increase the sense of identity among members. To say small, it is a ritual and a lesson, and to say a large one, it is a ritual and a law, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it will continue for a long time, which is why when the emperor sacrifices to the sky, he knows that it is fake, but he pretends to be a head and face. The Cult of Bliss is no exception, with a unique way of saluting for insiders, an exclusive clover logo, and this set of words to worship the god of bliss, even if you don't agree, over time, your thoughts will slowly change.

"The troubles of the world go with the wind. The Pure Land of Bliss, illuminating the world!"

The crowd was excited, and shouted in unison: "Pure Land of Bliss, illuminate the world! illuminate the world!

The archdeacon said: "Today is the day when the sect leader of the Xiangyang Society will open the sect, and it is also the day when the statue of Bliss in our Xiangyang City is completed, from then on, we will have the first statue of Bliss in Xiangyang City, all the confused souls will no longer be lost, and all the hesitation of wandering will be swept away!"

The crowd cheered.

The archdeacon said, "Divine food!"

More than a dozen Bliss Sect disciples walked out with food trays, and in each tray,

Loaded with more than a dozen palm-sized balls, Xiao Jinyan also got one.

At first glance, it looks like the Four Happiness Pills, but there is a faint fragrance on it, it is the taste of Bliss Grass, but it does not have the irritable and perverse atmosphere of Bliss Pills, Xiao Jinyan has seen the medicinal effect of Bliss Grass, and guessed that this is a food that has been improved by adding Bliss Grass, if you are not mistaken, it should be used to hallucinate and control the things of the sect.

The crowd was silent and ate slowly.

Liu Youcai couldn't help but eat, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan.

Fortunately, the two of them were relatively backward, and the disciples didn't care about the others, so the two hid the pills in their arms.

After a while, the believers became dull and their eyes were blank, but the whole person entered a relaxed state, and they knelt on the ground, threw their bodies to the ground, and bowed to the statue of the god of bliss covered with red cloth in the center of the main hall.

A drum sounded.

Everyone said in unison: "Welcome to the sect leader to open the altar and give a lecture!"

Xiao Jinyan knew that this Xiangyang's Bliss Sect Master was about to appear, so he couldn't help but cheer up and looked behind the curtains.

"Before we ask the leader, we would like to welcome two new friends. The archdeacon looked at Xiao Jinyan and Liu Youcai.

The two of them were shocked, "Exposed?"

The eyes of the cultists were also fixed on the two of them.

The archdeacon continued, "Our disciple Wang Zi is at ease, he was framed by these two men, and now he is in prison, and our disciples Qian 5 and Qian 6 have been calculated by these two people and have also been arrested in prison, and this is all thanks to these two friends!

Everyone showed hatred and said in unison: "Burn them and worship the god of bliss!"

"Burn them!"

It turned out that from the moment they came in, the identities of the two had been exposed.

It's ridiculous that the two of them are still pretending to worship the god of bliss with them.

Liu Youcai said in a low voice, "No matter the incision in the sect or the sect, we have not shown any flaws, how can they find us?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask you Lord Zhou." ”

Originally, the Bliss Sect was supported by the King of Shu, and with Zhou Xiao's ability, how could he dare to disobey the will of the King of Shu? The various statements he made today were simply to delay the two and save their lives, and after the two left, he casually revealed the news of the two to the Bliss Sect, which led to the current scene.

One of the believers in the front row took off his hat and revealed his true face.

It is the prefect of Xiangyang City, Zhou Xiao.

Liu Youcai was stunned and said, "Lord Zhou!"

Zhou Xiao ignored him and said to the archdeacon, "This person's martial arts are extremely high, please deal with it carefully." ”

The archdeacon said: "In our Divine Sect, there are many divine soldiers, but there is still a lack of a divine general, if we can capture it and supplement it with the Bliss Pill cultivation, it will not be long before it will be a great help to our Bliss Divine Sect." The gods obey the order!"

With a bang, the door of the side hall opened.

From the side hall, dozens of Bliss disciples rushed out.

Originally, Xiao Jinyan was involved in the investigation of the Bliss Sect, but he fell into the calculations of the Bliss Sect.

As soon as the archdeacon waved his hand, these Bliss disciples took out a Bliss Pill one after another and swallowed it. After a while, there was a loud roar, just as the king was at ease last night, and the size of these Bliss cultists skyrocketed, and their eyes showed a fierce light, as if they had turned into a group of man-eating beasts.

"Capture this fang alive and give it to the god of bliss!"
