The White Lotus Sect is somewhat interesting.
It's a very simple ritual.
Drinking a bowl of tea counts as a believer.
Xu He's eyes were opened today.
At this point, tonight's first process is considered to have come to an end.
Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted: "Holy girl, tell us the story of the leader and the senior officials who joined the religion!"
Xu He looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that it was He Lichang whom he had seen that day.
Haha, there are indeed bad people among the crowd!
When the saint on the stage heard the words, she was indeed prepared. She sat cross-legged and said to everyone: "Let me talk about the leader first. Our leader is an amazing old man. He was born with a white lotus in his mouth. He was able to speak when he was born. When I was young, I was more familiar with Buddhist scriptures than the old monks in the temple."
"Ah~~~" There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.
The saint said sternly: "When the leader was young, one day he was suffering from pain in his dream, which disturbed the void. Lao Vacuum showed great compassion and sent a white light from the southwest to illuminate the leader's body. The leader woke up from his dream, troubled in his heart, and went to the Southwest, sit still!"
Her voice was very magnetic and pleasant. Xu He could tell that this saint was not very old.
"Suddenly, the leader became enlightened, his mind opened up, and he understood the local scenery. Only then could he move freely, and could he feel at ease and stable."
"From then on, I realized that I was the Maitreya who came to the world to lead all living beings back to their hometown of Vacuum!"
After listening, everyone whispered and discussed.
"The leader of the church is Maitreya, what about the old official who is the leader?" He Lichang asked again before everyone could finish digesting the saint's words.
After asking about the hall master, the saint turned and looked at the man just now.
The man on the bamboo platform nodded condescendingly.
The saint smiled slightly and said: "In the early years of the hall, the hall master once encountered a fox demon and was attacked by an eagle. He spoke like a human and asked for help. The hall master took pity on his weakness, so he drove away the eagle and took the fox demon back home."
"ah!!!!"
"There really are monsters in this world!"
"Hey, that's for sure. The leader of the church is all Maitreya who came to the world. There are gods and Buddhas and there are monsters. What's there to be curious about!"
The saint ignored the words of the people in the audience and continued: "The fox demon was grateful for the life-saving grace of the hall master, so he passed on the strange fragrance magic. The hall master later used that magic to save the world. After being discovered by the leader, he was named Wen Xiang. Hall Master!"
"Pfft..." Xu He almost didn't laugh out loud. Master of the Mosquito Incense Hall, what a good name.
Lu Heng, who was on the side, heard this and sneered: "The lies are misleading the public. If these people are caught by the government, they will probably die nine times."
At this time, the atmosphere in the venue was already heated up.
He Lichang said: "Can you please ask the old official, the master of the hall, to show some tricks to us who are new to the religion?"
"Be bold!"
"Be bold!"
…
As soon as he finished speaking, boys in white clothes started scolding him both on and off the stage.
The saint also said coldly: "We preach so that our brothers and sisters can live a good life, and the method is also to protect the leader and protect the believers. How can we show it to others so easily?"
Her words were high-sounding, but many believers in the audience, who were obviously not very brainwashed, had suspicious looks on their faces.
But the saint was not nervous, but talked eloquently: "Instead of seeing other people's methods, it is better to practice some methods yourself."
This time it was not He Li who asked questions. Many believers heard that they could still practice, so they started to argue and asked the saint to talk.
The saint said: "In the countryside, cultivate virtue and forgive yourself. This is all done by doing good. Practicing and advising others do three things: abstain from drinking, sex, and gambling."
As soon as these words came out, not only the believers in the scene were dumbfounded, but even Xu He was in a daze.
Is this still a cult?
Isn’t this an exhortation to reward people?
The so-called spiritual practice means abstaining from drinking, abstaining from sex, and not gambling?
But after thinking about it carefully, Xu He was even more frightened by the White Lotus Sect's methods.
If a cult is mixed with content that guides people to be good, it is the same as lying. Only if there is some truth in it can people believe it.
"There are experts in the White Lotus Sect!" Xu He thought to himself.
Sure enough, after listening to this, the villagers' faces showed contemplation.
"It turns out that our practice only needs to be that simple!"
"Sure enough, the leader of the religion is Maitreya Buddha who came into the world, and even his practice guides people to do good!"
At this time, the operation that amazed Xu He came.
The leader of the Mosquito Incense Hall suddenly said: "Since today is the juncture for brothers and sisters who have just joined the religion, everyone wants to see my magical powers, and I can't refuse. So, I will use some small means to let everyone see it." See it!”
First, let the saint break the hope, and then satisfy everyone.
As they closed and released, the believers' thoughts were like a roller coaster. They thought that there would be no chance today, but who knew that another village would see a bright future, and suddenly, the crowd began to get excited.
"Bring it up!" At this time, the hall master suddenly shouted.
After a while, Granny Liu, who looked haggard and inexplicably frightened, was pressed onto the bamboo platform.
Someone in the audience recognized her and exclaimed: "This is Granny Liu!"
"Wang Liu's family by the lake at the west end of the village!"
"Why is she here? She's tied up!"
The Mosquito Incense Hall Master sneered: "On the way here, I met this old ghost, eating the corpse of a drowned man!"
"What?"
"Grandma Liu is an evil ghost?"
"How is this possible? Our children often go to her house to play with her grandson, and nothing happens. Did the officer make a mistake?"
"Quiet!" the Mosquito Repellent Hall Master on the stage shouted loudly.
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to speak anymore.
The leader of the mosquito-repellent incense hall said: "The incense-burning case!"
Xu He and Lu Heng both widened their eyes, feeling that things were heading in a bad direction.
After a while, a simple incense table with a statue of the Inanimate Mother and an incense burner was set up.
The hall leader stretched out his index finger and bit it in his mouth, and blood immediately flowed from his fingertips.
He spent a long time messing around with this blood, like ghostly drawing symbols on a piece of yellow paper.
Then he picked up the yellow paper in front of everyone, folded out a small paper knife and showed it to everyone in the audience.
Xu He saw that there were runes written in blood on the surface of the paper knife. The knife was not big, smaller than a fruit knife, and the blade was made of soft paper.
"Did you all see it? This is a paper knife with a ghost-repelling charm on it!"
After saying that, he took the paper knife and slit the throat of a boy in white clothes beside him. The paper knife bent softly when it touched the skin, unable to hurt him at all.
Just when everyone was wondering why he did this.
The master of the Mosquito Incense Hall said to everyone in a mysterious tone: "This paper knife is used to drive away ghosts. It will not hurt anyone if it is scratched on a living person, but..."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and slashed the paper knife towards Granny Liu's throat.
When Lu Heng saw this, he followed the others and screamed involuntarily.
But soon she became embarrassed: "This is a paper knife and..."
Before the word "just" could be said, Lu Heng's eyes widened in disbelief.
It turned out that the throat of Granny Liu on the stage seemed to have been cut by something sharp. Blood began to gush out, and then suddenly spattered, and the white clothes of the people around her were covered with blood.
Xu He opened his mouth and watched Granny Liu's blood gradually spread out on those people's bodies, like strange flowers!
Paper knife kills people, is all this true?
