95 Entering the City (1)
“...... Now, if you know why these people are coming to arrest you, right?"
After a detailed introduction, Huang Chang looked at Ji Ruo with a very meaningful eye, and the latter was pale, biting his lip, and without saying a word, he took the dagger that Huang Chang handed her again, and slammed it into the head of the man in black. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so hard that even the skull was pierced in half.
This action clearly expressed her mood, and Huang Chang didn't say more. I wanted her to go and loot the loot, but I had to ignore it at this time. So I went to rummage through it myself, in addition to a small amount of money, I also collected a bunch of miscellaneous things, all stuffed into the storage bag, and then I couldn't stuff it anymore and even tried to borrow Ji Ruo's storage space.
Seeing him like this, Ji Ruo couldn't help but shaved his face with his fingers:
"Don't be ashamed, Brother Chang, you don't lack money at all now, why do you still do this kind of thing?"
In this regard, Huang Chang is justified:
"Eh, if you don't understand, the greatest pleasure after working hard to defeat monsters is to pick up corpses. Especially this kind of evil monks, no one trusts them, they often carry all their belongings on their backs, and touching their corpses is like opening a treasure chest, and you never know if there will be any surprise that will suddenly pop up next...... It's this sense of anticipation that's the most fascinating. ”
Hearing Huang Chang talking about his strange theory of claiming to be "past life experience", Ji Ruo pursed his lips:
"What good things can be found in these people!"
"Not necessarily, some things can be useful in certain situations, such as this ......"
As he spoke, Huang Chang raised the copper gourd of the man in black that contained the smoke inside, but then Ji Ruo took a sip:
"Do you still want to be a flower thief?"
Huang Chang smiled and didn't speak, under this interjection, Ji Ruo's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot, not as bad as just now, and seemed to have come out of the "terrible facts" he said. So Huang Chang hurriedly encouraged again:
"So, Ruoruo, let's move on. Don't let those villains go!"
"Hmm!
Ji Ruo clenched her fists vigorously and nodded, and Xiao Xiaoqiao's face was full of determination.
............
After that, there was no obstacle along the way, and a few days later, the two came to the gate of the state capital of Linquan County.
In this world of immortal magic and Taoism, the construction of large-scale projects is much easier than in Huang Chang's previous life. Although Linquan County is already a relatively remote state and county in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the city wall of its state capital is still very tall, and the whole body is wrapped in blue-gray giant bricks, which looks extremely solid. In addition, the ten-foot-high wall is not completely open-air, but is set up at intervals with brick fortresses containing giant crossbow machines, which are specially designed to deal with flying enemies.
The city gate was also very well defended, and there was a whole group of soldiers checking pedestrians, I don't know if it was always the case or because of the recent disturbances of the cult. When Huang Chang and Ji Ruo tried to enter the city, they also encountered a very interesting thing - the soldiers guarding the gate asked them to spit on a clay statue that fell by the door, or step on it and curse a few words, in short, they had to desecrate the statue before they were allowed to enter the city.
It wasn't just the two of them, everyone who entered and exited the city gates were required to do so, and the soldier's explanation for those who had doubts was clear - this was the statue of the "god" that had been making a lot of trouble lately, and only those who had proved that they were not believers in the gods were allowed to enter and exit.
Of course, Huang Chang and Ji Ruo were fine, especially Ji Ruo remembered that the gang had bad intentions towards her, so she kicked over in anger and kicked half of the clay statue down. As a result, the soldier only complained a few times, but turned around and dragged another one out of the door next to him, which surprised Huang Chang. Quietly leaned over to take a look...... Oh my God, the cave in the city gate is stacked with all kinds of mud and wood carvings, all of which seem to be the same "gods" - the face shape is similar.
Curious, Huang Chang asked the soldiers guarding the gate for details, and with the help of Yinzi, the soldiers all enthusiastically told each other: It turns out that this "god" is a real person, who has been preaching in this area of Linquan County for many years, and often says that the world is suffering, and he is willing to save the world with a lifetime of asceticism, so he is called "the god of salvation", and his followers call themselves "the God of Salvation".
Originally, he led his followers to give alms and water everywhere to eliminate disasters and solve problems, and he had a high reputation among the people. Many families even erected statues of him and prayed day and night for protection. However, in recent years, his style of acting has changed greatly: suddenly his greed has risen, not to mention the crazy accumulation of wealth, and his disciples have also recruited many heroes and strange people, and he has begun to gradually change from a group of believers who have no quarrel with the world to an ordinary sect of the rivers and lakes. If that's all it takes, anyway, there are very many such non-governmental organizations in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is not one more of them. However, it is not normal that many followers of sects and even unrelated civilians have disappeared, especially women.
The matter gradually got bigger and attracted the attention of the government. The patrol yamen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the so-called "six gates", is still quite capable - if most martial arts masters and mortal cultivators cannot enter the gate sect, the next best choice is to eat a bowl of public rice for stability. The six doors are known as the eagle dogs of the imperial court and the pillars of the country, among which there are many talents. As long as they are really willing to work hard, there are very few cases that they can't solve.
A group of elite patrols were dispatched, and after most of the people died, the news finally came back -- that "Salvation God" had become an evil demon, and the Salvation Sect used living people to sacrifice souls and Dao magic weapons, and the heavens could not tolerate it! After the news spread, there was a great chaos in Linquan County, and some people were still in disbelief, but what happened next completely shattered their illusions.
-- The government of Linquan County joined forces with the Six Gates and sent a group of masters to arrest the criminals, but they didn't even see the face of the "Savior God", and they were led by his "Four Great Disciples" to kill them and flee back in embarrassment -- Tao Hong, the left protector, Yang Yong, the right protector, Li Xin, the former general, and Wang Kai, the latter two were warriors, and the first two did use Horcruxes in battle, and the news was absolutely false.
At this time, there was no longer anything controversial, and Guo Shouhuan, the commander of Linquan County, immediately ordered the ban on the sect, banned everything related to the "Savior God", and confiscated a large number of statues from the people. At the same time, the Salvation Believers were strictly banned and the gates of the city were strictly guarded to prevent those Salvation believers from seeking opportunities to cause trouble.
