"No, it's impossible!" Xu He knew that this was definitely a deception.
At this time, I saw the mosquito-repellent incense hall master holding a paper knife and showing it off to everyone.
He saw that the paper knife was stained with blood and was hanging limply on his fingertips.
When everyone saw it, they all felt inexplicably horrified.
Indeed, this is paper, genuine paper, such soft paper, not to mention killing people, even a good hand can easily pierce it.
this……
Suddenly, He Lichang in the audience and several people around him shouted loudly at the same time: "The hall master is mighty, slay the ghosts and demons!"
Everyone was like a fire being lit, and they started shouting loudly as if they were just waking up from a dream.
At this time, they no longer cared that the old woman lying on the stage was their neighbor who had been living with them day and night for decades.
They believe that she is a demon, a ghost that eats human corpses.
They were laughing and cursing, as if they were dancing around a social fire to offer sacrifices to a great god, going crazy.
"Crazy!" Xu He felt for the first time what brainwashing was.
Lu Heng on the side burst into tears, crying hoarsely as he looked at the gradually cold body on the stage.
And her voice was drowned out by the crowd's celebrating voices. In this wave of faith, it was not even a ripple.
Granny Liu's body was quickly carried down. Looking at the woman who died within a few days, Xu He suddenly felt a sense of disgust for the world in his heart.
This kind of disgust is towards the proud church leader on the stage, towards the insensitive believers in the audience, and towards the squire He Liangchang who is hiding in the background and manipulating Granny Liu’s life and death.
He suddenly felt a violent emotion.
I thought if I could kill all these people who are still laughing, still jumping, and still proud.
Grandma Liu died, but the White Lotus Sect's rituals continued.
The saint girl said: "The current court is unethical and oppresses the good. I have worked hard for a year and I don't even have enough to eat."
"Even so, we still have to feed all the officials, big and small!"
"But our White Lotus Sect Wusheng Mother is compassionate and merciful. The government doesn't care about everyone, we will take care of it!"
"After the great disaster, there is a great epidemic. In the past two days, people who have been feeling unwell have come here. The old man, the master of the hall, will treat them for free without charging a penny."
Everyone in the audience immediately cheered, and several people who were sick or exposed to the epidemic came on stage.
The Mosquito Repellent Hall Master did another operation, took out a stack of yellow paper, dipped it in ink, burned it to ashes and gave it to the disciples on the stage.
After a while, the believers who were still in pain just now were obviously much better.
At this scene, even Lu Heng showed an incredible look.
By this time, the performance was over, and the whole farce finally came to an end.
Xu He knew that at this point, only the last process was left.
The thousand-year-old rule of the secret sect... to make money.
Sure enough, at this time, the boy in the audience took the white lotus-shaped tray from nowhere and began to walk among the believers in the audience.
When they meet someone, they chant the Buddha's name, then bring out the lotus flower and say: "Give me money for blessing..."
The believers took out money from their arms and put it into the plates.
The sound of ding-ding-dong-dong is endless.
Those kids don't seem to care about money.
But it won't work if you don't pay.
They pulled out those who had not paid and stood aside.
When the Mosquito Repellent Hall Master saw this, his eyes turned around on those people. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something, and he suddenly smiled.
After everyone had paid, he walked off the stage and came to the group of people who had not paid.
I saw him saying to those people one by one with a kind face: "It doesn't matter if you don't pay the blessing money for the time being, just pay it all next time."
When the saint on the stage saw this, there was a hint of undetectable disdain in her eyes.
After the hall master dismissed most of the people who had not paid, there were still about twenty people left.
Most of these people have one characteristic... they all come with their mothers-in-law.
The leader of the Mosquito Incense Hall first persuaded those people with a good voice, and then let six couples go. The wives of these six couples were either older or not attractive.
After those people left, he said to the remaining four couples: "I am going to practice tonight. The eight of you will be my guardians in the two rooms next to me. The west wing is for Yang, and the four of you men live in it. The east wing is for Yin, you four women are going to live together, do you understand?"
When several people heard that they could protect Wenxiang Hall Master, they couldn't help but feel secretly happy and nodded vigorously.
Not that no one is worried.
But when they thought that it was not their own family who was left behind, they all felt relieved.
The farce is officially over now.
The believers went home not far from Xu He and others to receive free cakes.
The big man, who had seen enough of the excitement, untied the two men and led them back to the house where they were detained in the morning.
After Xu He and Lu Heng were tied up, the man yawned, locked the door and left.
In the darkness, Lu Heng asked with a trembling voice: "Xu He, is Granny Liu dead?"
Xu He said "hmm".
Then she heard her crying next to her.
Xu He sighed and said, "Don't cry. This is a relief. Even if she is fine, everyone in the family is dead!"
Lu Heng still kept crying, but the voice was very low, and after a while there was no movement.
Xu He turned his head and looked through the moonlight, and saw Lu Heng staring out the window with tears streaming down his face, which was a bit scary.
"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Xu He asked quickly.
Lu Heng said: "You were right that day. We shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, the He family wouldn't have handed Granny Liu over to those people! I was the one who killed Granny Liu!"
Xu He sighed: "Don't think too much. If you want to blame, just blame these bastards who regard human life as nothing. They say Granny Liu is an evil ghost, but the real evil ghosts are actually them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a stone suddenly hit the ground outside the door.
Xu He was startled by the movement, and then his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
Lu Heng also heard the noise, widened his eyes and asked, "Xu He, is that idiot Xue Yongzhi here to save us?"
"Shh!" Xu He quickly told her to stop talking.
Just like that, after about a cup of tea, suddenly, there was the sound of picking the lock outside the door, and after a while, the door was opened.
Under the bright moonlight outside the window, a graceful figure was projected into the house.
Xu He looked at the person and almost screamed.
Lu Heng even exclaimed: "Why is it you?"
It turned out that the person who picked the lock and came in was the Holy Lady of the White Lotus Sect who had just lectured on the bamboo platform.
The saint made a silent gesture to shut up.
Then he looked outside the house, and after making sure no one was there, he untied the ropes that tied Xu He and Lu Heng.
For the first time in so many days, Xu He's arms could move freely. He stretched out his hands, expanded his chest, looked at the graceful [Saint Girl] in front of him and said, "Who are you? Why did you save us?"
