The so-called cult is nothing more than an evil organization that expands crazily and grows barbarically in the name of religion. It uses means such as creating and spreading superstitious heresies to confuse and deceive people who do not know the truth, make money wantonly, and endanger society.
Even on ordinary days, the activities of cults would bring turmoil to the country, not to mention that the Tang State had just experienced a war, and the social foundation was unstable, making it easier for the people to cause trouble under the instigation of these people.
Therefore, once it is determined, the official attitude of the Tang State is to eradicate it immediately and never tolerate it! And this is also the reason why Lin Yan's team acted today.
I thought things wouldn't be too troublesome. Who would have thought that going out would be unfavorable? Ah Liang and others, who were originally the vanguard, fell into the opponent's way inexplicably. If Lin Yan hadn't arrived in time, these soldiers might have been "incited to rebel"!
The lecture on the stage continued, followed by a burst of bewitching voices that echoed in Lin Yan's ears. These voices were like female ghosts whispering in your ears, making you want to fall into it.
However, this method may be more effective for other people, but it has little effect on Lin Yan. After all, he was also a master of the acquired realm in the past, how could he be affected by some heretical tricks?
After Lin Yan helped A Liang out of trouble, he did not choose to continue to wake up the other bewitched soldiers to avoid disturbing the situation, but turned to look at the stage.
The so-called preaching has come to an end for the time being. Looking at the size of the people here, he speculated that there should be some big names appearing today.
"If you can catch a big fish, it will be a worthwhile trip!" Lin Yan thought to himself.
Sure enough, the preacher on the stage stopped preaching the doctrine and said to the audience: "Believers, today we are fortunate to have the altar master, the real 'Agent of Hades', who will answer your questions and help you escape from the sea of suffering. !”
The crowd in the audience was restless, with numb and crazy expressions. They raised their hands and shouted: "Welcome to the Altar Master! The God of Hades is immortal!"
Lin Yan mingled among the crowd and symbolically shouted along with the crowd. After all, you still have to do the whole show!
Amidst the shouts of the crowd, a man wearing a gray-brown robe slowly came onto the stage. If you look closely, you can see that his robe is embroidered with gold thread, which is obviously expensive.
In addition, he also wears a golden mask on his face. The shape is exaggerated and weird. There are many twisted branches on the edge of the mask, extending unbridled in all directions, like countless human hands struggling outwards, which makes People dare not think deeply.
As soon as this person appeared, he stretched out his arms and slowly raised them over his shoulders. His voice was thick and distant, with an indescribable meaning, and he said: "The God of the Underworld is immortal and blesses all living beings!"
The believers in the audience became even more crazy, chanting and shouting...
Lin Yan curled his lips in disdain and said in his heart: "I have never heard that the god of the underworld can give blessings. Even if such a thing does exist, I am afraid it can only bring death! Asking him to give blessings is too long for your life. ?”
But those believers who have been obsessed with their minds don't care about this. They only believe what they believe. I am afraid that in the eyes of these people at this moment, the so-called "God of Hades" is the god who can really bring them happiness, and the sudden appearance of the altar owner is their hope!
The altar leader wearing a gold mask continued: "The emperor of Tang Dynasty hired villains and virtuous ministers, and appointed traitors, which led to chaos in the government and the public, and unrest in the country! In the previous battle, many parties came together to attack him, and he has completely lost the support of the people!"
"As the saying goes, 'Those who have attained the truth will have many help, but those who have lost the path will have little help.' The war in the Tang Dynasty was precisely because the Emperor of Tang Dynasty angered God. This is a punishment from heaven!"
As soon as these words came out, all the believers looked frightened. For them, the Tang State was their own country, and they were Tang people. It was not easy for them to doubt the Tang State or even abandon the Tang State.
However, believers are even more in awe of the divine way of heaven. Mortals are all in awe of ghosts and gods. As the saying goes, "There are gods three feet above the head." It seems that there is such a transcendent mysterious force affecting the world.
As for the theory of "Heaven brings disasters", these believers actually believe it in their hearts. After all, this is not the original idea of the altar leader on the stage, but a saying that has long been circulated among the people.
Once the emperor makes a big mistake and angers God, he will impose punishments, such as: locust plagues, floods, droughts and military disasters!
And this sudden war, Cangzhou Prefecture fell for a time, and the people at the bottom were miserable, displaced, and their families were destroyed! It turns out that all this is the emperor's fault!
Gradually, anger appeared on the faces of these believers, and their fists were clenched tightly.
Seeing that his words had an effect, the altar leader struck while the iron was hot and continued: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so aggressive that he didn't care about the lives of the people at the bottom. Everyone is his tool to expand his territory and achieve his empire!"
"Such a person, such a dictator, will eventually be tolerated by the law of heaven! He and his Tang Kingdom will face the harshest judgment of Hades and will be destroyed!"
The emotions of the believers in the audience have been completely aroused at this time. Their depression, uneasiness, and despair during this period seem to have found an outlet to vent these negative things that have been accumulated for a long time.
A haggard woman with red eyes cried heartbreakingly: "That's it! My husband just became a soldier and never came back after the barbarians invaded. He didn't even see a corpse!"
Some men beat their chests and beat their feet, saying with regret: "The county magistrate fell in love with my little sister's beauty and wanted to take her as his concubine. When the little sister refused, he took her away by force. After being defiled, the little sister couldn't bear the humiliation and threw her into a well. Kill yourself!"
"I hate that dog official's shamelessness, I hate my own incompetence, and even more, I hate the ruthlessness of this world. If I have the chance to meet Emperor Tang, I really want to ask him face to face, why is this? Why?"
There was also an old woman who said tremblingly: "A few acres of land in my home were forcibly occupied by the landlord. My son went to argue with me, but he was beaten to death. My daughter-in-law was nowhere to be found, leaving only me, a lonely old woman, and my little grandson. You may starve to death someday! Where is the great Tang Dynasty? I can't see it!"
"..."
Many of the believers present are burdened with unimaginable sufferings from the big shots, and this is just their daily life! Cruel and ruthless, but you have to continue to grit your teeth and persevere in life!
Lin Yan was silent. He was also a person living at the bottom. He could not say he sympathized with the hardships of these believers, but he had a deep understanding.
Unlike those big shots, although we live in the same world and under the same blue sky, people are different, even from birth!
Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and have no worries about food and clothing; while some people have to run for a living since childhood, and even though they have worked very hard, they still live a life without enough food.
This world is unequal, from the beginning! The reason is that resources and wealth are in the hands of a small number of people. They have the right to speak, as if they are the truth of the world!
After seeing the poor people, he could still ask shamelessly: "Why not eat minced meat?" Then he turned and left with an arrogant laugh.
Contradictions and oppositions have always existed, but at this special moment, the "Chen Shen Cult" intensified this contradiction, avoided the important and favored the light, publicized some remarks that were unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, and intended to use these believers to achieve some ulterior purposes. !
Of course Lin Yan did not think that Emperor Tang had no fault, but it would be biased to attribute all the faults to one person! And he always felt that the voice of this guy who was confusing everyone on the stage sounded familiar, and he thought to himself: "Is it possible that I have seen him somewhere before?"
But Lin Yan was a little confused, because this guy's appearance was too flamboyant. If he had seen it, he would never forget it. After all, he was not confused yet.
Their mission on this trip is to eradicate this branch of the "Pluto Cult". This time they accidentally caught the big fish of the altar leader, so they must not let it go easily.
However, with Lin Yan's keen sense, he discovered that the strength of this altar leader was extraordinary. He was not an ordinary warrior. He might have reached the level of Tongmai Realm, or even entered the Acquired Heaven Realm!
This is no joke! Facing a warrior of this level, it is not easy to capture. Especially since his current state is a bit delicate, the lost strength has not been recovered for a long time, and the only thing left is the countless fighting consciousness!
Moreover, the other party is not just the altar leader. He has no masters under his command, so Lin Yan doesn't believe it! Now that I am alone and weak, I still have to get in touch with the cavalry outside first!
He turned to A Liang and whispered: "Go and get in touch with the brothers outside first. Surround the place. No one can be let go! In addition, pass the news back to the camp and ask the captain for support!"
Ah Liang was also smart, nodded, and then quietly left outside. But the moment he turned around, a voice suddenly sounded, as if exploding in his ears: "Where are you going?"
Lin Yan's face darkened and he immediately shouted: "Let's go!"
Then he drew his sword to clear the way, instantly killing several guards in the sect, covering A Liang and rushing out, while he himself stayed here to break up the rear.
The altar owner's voice continued: "Stop them!"
Now that he had been targeted, Lin Yan turned around and took the initiative to attack. As long as he could hold these people back, once the cavalry arrived, it would not be so easy for them to break out and escape!
Lin Yan held a horizontal sword in his hand and dashed left and right among the surrounding guards of the sect, showing great bravery. The strength of these ordinary guards is not very high, and they are not a strong threat to Lin Yan. What he really cares about is the altar leader. This person is definitely a big trouble!
Suddenly, the altar took the initiative. In a flash, he was in front of Lin Yan and pressed down directly on Lin Yan. The latter's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instinctively struck forward with his knife, colliding with it.
"Crack!"
As the two collided, the standard horizontal knife in Lin Yan's hand broke. However, the sharp energy contained in the blade also scratched the altar master's golden mask, split it into two, and then slipped off.
Lin Yan looked at the face that was gradually revealed, and seemed to suddenly remember something, and blurted out: "An Daoquan?!"
