Li Xuan stood in the courtyard and came to a prosperous place for the first time. He sighed in his heart that he had truly entered this world after traveling so far.
Night falls.
On the streets of the county town, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and it became quiet.
At this time, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and boss were all gathered in the Yunshan County government office, and the beggar and the street vendor were also there.
The person sitting at the main seat was not the county magistrate, but an old man wearing coarse linen clothes.
"I have found out clearly that the rich and noble people who came to the city are Xu Junhe's foolish son and his master."
The beggar said with a strange look on his face.
"Xu Yan? That young man is his master? This is impossible!"
The county magistrate looked surprised.
"In the past, Xu Junhe's silly sons were always looking for secluded masters who were energetic old men. This young man is not a few years older..."
He was a little confused as to what method the young man used to trick Xu Yan into becoming his disciple.
The old man in sackcloth who was sitting in the main seat said: "Xu Junhe is stubborn, has huge wealth, and does not know how to show compassion for the common people. He not only refuses to join my Heavenly Mother Cult, but also arrests my followers and sends them to the government.
"His son is here and can be used by my teaching.
"Later, use me to teach Da Yi to influence his master and make him sincerely join my teaching."
The county magistrate nodded and said: "What the Dharma Protector said makes sense!"
The old man in Mai stood up and said: "We are all keeping an eye on Donghe County. There is no room for failure in this plan. Xu Junhe's trouble is about to come. If he gives in, we can save him."
"Don't worry, protector, Kou's military advisor is in charge of the overall situation in Donghe County, and he will definitely be able to successfully capture Donghe County."
The beggar said with a look of admiration.
"Um!"
The old man in sackcloth nodded, Commander Kou is the wise man of the Heavenly Mother Sect. With him in charge, everything will be safe.
"Follow me to influence Xu Yan's master and let him join my religion!"
"yes!"
The county magistrate and several others followed the old man in Mai out of the county office.
…
Xu Yan was practicing in the courtyard, while Li Xuan was sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand and reading.
This is a popular storybook in Qi State that he had someone buy.
He was very curious as to why Xu Yan, a silly disciple, firmly believed that there was an extremely powerful martial arts in the world after reading the script.
Looking around for an expert to be his disciple.
"The Heavenly Mother is merciful and helps all living beings. Worship the Heavenly Mother, escape the sea of suffering, and be rich and powerful in the next life..."
The sound rang out in the silent street. Along with the slogans, there was the sound of bells and the sound of footsteps coming from the end of the street.
"Heavenly Mother bless you!"
"Heavenly Mother bless you!"
Suddenly, in the neighborhood on the left and right, and on the whole street, many people opened their doors and prayed devoutly.
Ding!
There was a constant sound of metal falling to the ground.
Li Xuan heard it and was sure that it was the sound of copper coins being sprinkled on the ground.
"Heavenly Mother goes out on patrol to save sins and rescue good people, so that there is no evil in the world..."
The sound of the bell gradually became closer and clearer. Li Xuan had a strange look on his face. Was the target aimed at him?
wrong!
I came here for Xu Yan.
At this moment, Xu Yan had stopped practicing, with a look of displeasure on his face.
"Disciple, what's going on?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Master, he is the magic stick of the Heavenly Mother Sect."
Xu Yan said a little angrily.
"Heavenly Mother Cult?"
Li Xuan was stunned. Is it a cult in Qi State?
"Yes, Master, the Heavenly Mother Sect was designated by the imperial court as a demonic and evil sect, a rebellious sect. It has been surrounded and suppressed, but it has not been eradicated.
"Not only the Qi State, but also the Wu State has been besieged and suppressed.
"The Heavenly Mother Sect has launched several rebellions, but none of them succeeded. The last rebellion was twenty years ago. After it was defeated, it has become weak and there is almost no public propaganda of the doctrine..."
The Tianmu Sect is a long-standing sect, dating back to the previous dynasty and the founding of Qi State, it has rebelled no less than ten times.
It was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Qi court, but despite repeated encirclement and suppression campaigns, it could not be completely eradicated, and it would come back after a while.
The same is true in Wu State.
The Heavenly Mother Sect believes in the so-called "Heavenly Mother", and it is widely spread that if you believe in the Heavenly Mother, you can escape from suffering and enjoy great wealth in the next life.
And every time the Heavenly Mother Sect rebels, a group of followers who are not afraid of death will appear, shouting that their souls will return to the Heavenly Mother's arms, escape from the misery of the world, and be rich in the next life!
He was not afraid of death and had caused heavy casualties to the Qi army on several occasions.
There have always been many believers in the Heavenly Mother Sect. Even if the court strictly prohibited it, they still could not stop it. Especially when there was a famine or disaster, the people even believed in the Heavenly Mother Sect.
“Those from the Heavenly Mother Cult like to rob people of their money and then give it to some poor people to gain their faith.
“He even ransacked the government offices and opened warehouses to release grain.
"However, the Tianmu Cult has been silent for almost twenty years. At least until I was born, I have never heard of any Tianmu Cult publicly touring and spreading its teachings."
Xu Yan said with some doubts.
Li Xuan was surprised. This Heavenly Mother Cult had a bit of the White Lotus Cult, and since it was strictly banned by Qi State, it was a target of annihilation.
Why do they publicly parade and preach the doctrine in Yunshan County?
I am afraid that Yunshan County has been secretly controlled by the Tianmu Cult.
The people in the county are either believers or members of the religion.
"This Yunshan County is probably already under the control of the Heavenly Mother Sect."
Li Xuan said with a smile.
Xu Yan looked startled, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Isn't my shop in Yunshan already controlled by the Tianmu Sect? Has it become a member of the Tianmu Sect?"
"Master, they seem to be coming this way."
Listening to the sound getting closer, it was obvious that it was coming here.
"This is unreasonable. They robbed my shop and disturbed my practice at night. I just sent them away."
Xu Yan said angrily.
"There's no rush, let them come, just for entertainment."
Li Xuan said with a smile.
Having just come out of the mountain den, he was quite interested in these things in the outside world.
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing this, Xu Yan responded respectfully.
I sighed in my heart: "Master's state of mind is not ordinary. Is he playing with the world? This is the mentality of a master!"
The footsteps stopped outside the courtyard door, the bell swayed rhythmically, and a voice came.
"Heavenly Mother is merciful and helps the common people. Are good people willing to do their part for the common people?"
The sound is loud and concentrated but never disperses.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows. The person who spoke was not an ordinary person. Could it be that he was a top expert in the world?
Sure enough, as Xu Yan said, it is too weak!
To him and Xu Yan, the speakers were weak, but to ordinary people, they were powerful masters.
Xu Yan frowned at the side and said: "The most powerful master in the world? Why does the Heavenly Mother Sect in Yunshan County have such masters? Is this the home of the Heavenly Mother Sect?"
Li Xuan was surprised. He thought the person who spoke was a first-rate master, but it turned out to be a top master?
The force value of Qi's Jianghu is a little too low.
"Is this the ultimate master in the world? So weak!"
Li Xuan said with a speechless expression.
"Master, they are just ordinary martial arts with limited strength. The top masters have developed inner strength. Judging from the sound of his voice, it is inspired by inner strength..."
Xu Yan explained.
"Inner strength?"
Li Xuan was a little curious.
What's going on with this inner strength? Why is it so weak?
"It's just a burst of power. It's not very powerful. It's roughly equivalent to entering the bone refining stage? What about the initial stage of Iron Bone?"
Xu Yan said a little uncertainly.
