Chapter 712: Encountering Bai Lian by chance
Early on the next morning, Xue Ruyue had already returned to her strong character and went out early to visit the famous ladies in Hangzhou.
Mrs. Xue disappeared early in the morning, and she didn't know what she was doing.
This time, the two beautiful flowers, one big and one small, were no longer in the room. Bi Yuntao had nowhere to go, so he wandered around the city alone.
The city of Hangzhou is not large, and it is very convenient to travel between the southeast and northwest. I visited a lot of alleys, large and small, but there were not many novel things.
When I arrived near a residential house in the east of the city, close to Su Causeway, I found that there was smoke curling up here and there were hundreds of people surrounding me. In the hustle and bustle, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The White Lotus Empress has appeared."
"Empress White Lotus?" Bi Yuntao was not particularly sensitive to the word "White Lotus". Hearing this, he hurriedly pushed forward.
What I saw in front of me was an extremely empty place, very large, but in the middle was a white jade Buddha statue. She was a dignified woman, with kind eyebrows and fine eyes, and extremely kind.
Strangely enough, this white jade Buddha statue is not any Bodhisattva in the temple. Bi Yuntao has never heard of the White Lotus Lady. What is even more surprising is that half of the White Lotus Lady's body is still buried in the soil. There were fruit incense burners all around, and countless believers knelt around and shouted "White Lotus Empress".
A stout man stepped up to a high place and shouted loudly: "Dear believers, brothers and sisters, the benevolent White Lotus Empress has appeared."
As soon as he shouted, countless believers below shouted: "Empress White Lotus has appeared."
Although there were many people, Bi Yuntao observed carefully and saw that there were many "believers" who were watching everywhere.
Bi Yuntao saw it clearly and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Damn, this is all a favor."
"In the past few months, all the believers have witnessed the magical power and merit of Empress White Lotus. The Buddha statue is buried deep in the ground, but it can grow an inch every day. Why is this?"
"This is the kind-hearted Empress White Lotus showing her magic power to us disciples. She will help us who are suffering. Our White Lotus Dharma Assembly is the special envoy of Empress White Lotus. It is to accumulate merit for everyone. As long as After joining the White Lotus Dharma Association, those who join are all brothers and sisters, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, and they can bathe in the grace of the White Lotus Empress, and their merits are immeasurable."
"Bathe in the grace of Empress White Lotus and your merits will be immeasurable!" Countless believers knelt around and shouted loudly, with great momentum, attracting countless ordinary people to stop and watch.
Following the man's loud encouragement and the majestic loud cheers, many ordinary people who didn't know what was going on followed suit and kowtowed to the Buddha statue of the White Lotus Empress.
"Empress White Lotus actually has such magical power. I wonder what are the requirements to enter the noble Dharma Assembly?" One of the believers shouted loudly, "Brother, do you think this villain can enter the noble Dharma Assembly?"
"Haha! Brother, you really asked the right person." The man laughed loudly, "You don't need a tael of silver or a penny of broken silver. You only need a hanging copper plate to enter my White Lotus Dharma." meeting."
"Ah?" the believer asked, with a look of retreat on his face, "You still have to pay to join your Dharma assembly!"
"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the soil is dripping with sweat. Going out early and returning home late is not as good as a big landowner." The man said cheerfully: "The White Lotus Empress helps the world and relieves the poor. She has compassion for the people in the world. Yesterday, the Buddha's decree came, and she can be granted a sling of money. Enter the Dharma Assembly."
The man continued to preach: "You can't suffer a loss or be cheated with this small amount of money. As long as you join my White Lotus Dharma Assembly, you will no longer have to do farm work in the fields, and you will be a landlord every day."
"Then what should you do if you want to lie to me?" There was obviously a slightly relaxed look on the believer's face.
"That's a good question. Have you seen Grandma Qiao?" The man pointed, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger. An old lady happened to be helped out of a large sedan.
The old lady had a weathered face, and she looked like she was from a poor family. However, she was dressed gorgeously, with jewels on her head and hands, and she looked like a nouveau riche.
The man said: "Aunt Qiao is lonely and helpless. Everyone must know what the situation is like at home, so I won't say more."
"Grandma Qiao has just joined my White Lotus Dharma Assembly for a month, and her family property has already doubled several times. Now when she goes out, is there any time when she is not surrounded by servants?"
As soon as the man's voice fell, Grandma Qiao said: "Hahaha. Little Wang, you are wrong. Grandma, my current net worth is not just a few times. After the guidance of the White Lotus Empress, my current net worth is now It has doubled dozens of times. Look, this is the gold ingot I just went to Tianma Bank to exchange for."
Grandma Qiao grinned with only a few teeth left in her mouth and wiped a piece of gold from her sleeve. The gold was dazzling in the sun and stung her eyes.
Everyone onlookers showed envy. They could not get this ingot of gold even if they spent their entire lives. But the helpless Granny Qiao, who had only joined the White Lotus Dharma Association for a month, was already wealthy and surrounded by people. The speed at which she got rich was simply unbelievable.
The man continued: "I believe that everyone has seen these recent changes in Grandma Qiao. Now the White Lotus Empress is helping the world and rescuing the poor, pitying the people of the world, and has issued a decree from the Buddha to only allow one dagger to enter the Dharma assembly. The opportunity is only for one day, and the chance is Don’t waste time and never come again. If you want to be like Grandma Qiao, rich and surrounded by people, why don’t you act quickly!”
Following the man's order, ordinary people around him rushed over and rushed to join the White Lotus Dharma Assembly.
Bi Yuntao's mouth twitched when he saw it. Isn't this just a pyramid scheme? The slogans mentioned are full of bad qualities and have no gold content at all. These fools actually believed it. Can't you see that the old lady was their agent?
Also, what is the meaning of growing an inch every day? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity inexplicably, as if I have seen it somewhere before?
Furthermore, the names of the White Lotus Ceremony and the White Lotus Sect are so close that there cannot be any connection between the two. It seems that after returning home, we need to remind the Xue family mother and daughter to be more careful. If there is nothing important or special circumstances, It's better to go out less often.
Just as Bi Yuntao was thinking, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a thin and lanky face, stroking his beard with a smile. It was none other than the youngest Huang, whom he had met several times yesterday.
Why is this old man still here? Yesterday I saw him leaving in a hurry. Wasn't there something urgent? Could it be handled so quickly? Bi Yuntao was stunned for a moment. We really don't meet each other everywhere in life. He and this old man are really destined to be together!
