"Because this child is the person we...ah, he is the person designated by the Black Lotus Cult!
Before Zhang Xiaoni, the evil Buddha of the Black Lotus cult had also issued a decree asking his followers to find some special children for him.
Without exception, these children are all descendants of great Confucians and great virtues, and are the direct descendants of famous families!
People with great Confucianism and great virtues often accumulate abundant popularity and good fortune, and can bless their descendants and breed talented people among them.
As for famous people, in order to continue the glory of the family, they will also use various means to cultivate outstanding descendants.
For the Black Lotus cult, these children with intelligent talents and great blessings are either the best 'material' for cultivation or the best candidates for believers..."
Yongli became an evil sect and completely broke with the Black Lotus Sect.
After listening to his explanation, Qin Shaoyou nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, children who are talented, intelligent, and blessed are like Tang Monk meat in the eyes of the evil cult.
If you eat it, you won't live forever, but it will definitely have many benefits.
If you don't eat it, you can use it to cultivate loyal believers, which can also have a great effect. Not only in the local area, but even in the court, you can become their protective umbrella and give them great convenience!
Especially Zhang Xiaoni.
If he is, as Qin Shaoyou guessed, a prince disguised as a woman, and the Black Lotus Sect found him, bewitched and trained him since childhood, and made him a loyal believer of the Black Lotus Sect, then when he returns to the royal family and takes charge of the government, the Black Lotus Sect will
Whether it is spreading doctrines or establishing its so-called Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom, it will be much easier than it is now.
But for the people who are already in trouble, life will undoubtedly become more miserable.
Because at that time, the Great Xia Dynasty might really become a purgatory on earth!
Official Yong didn't know that Qin Shaoyou could infer so many situations at once.
While he was talking about this topic, he suddenly remembered another thing and said:
"Zhang Shilang's grandson is also a gifted and intelligent child, so Li Ananda took the risk to capture him and turn him into a dog, hoping to gain more karma and help him break through.
It's a pity that he underestimated your Luocheng Town Demon Division and Zhang Shilang, and as a result, he was captured by you.
I heard that he was silenced by members of the Black Lotus cult while he was being escorted to the state capital by you?
Sigh... When I heard this news, I should have noticed the cruelty of the Black Lotus cult.
They can kill even the Black Lotus Bodhisattva without hesitation, let alone us ordinary believers?"
Yong Li sighed to himself, regretting that he had not seen through the insidiousness of the Black Lotus Cult earlier, but Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly after listening to his words.
When escorting Li Ananda to the state capital, he was indeed attacked by monsters from the Black Lotus Sect, and even a Black Lotus Buddha was dispatched.
However, at that time, both he and Xue Qingshan believed that the Black Lotus Sect was here to rob prisoners.
But now after listening to Yongli's words, I think of Li Ananda's mission in Mianyuan County.
Qin Shaoyou felt that the group of Black Lotus Sect demons at that time really might have gone to kill people and silence them instead of robbing prisoners.
Because Li Ananda wanted to break through the Bodhisattva status for his own selfish desires, he arrested children in Mianyuan County, which eventually caused the situation to escalate, triggering an investigation and suppression by the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, and not only destroyed the Black Lotus Sect
The forces that had finally developed in Mianyuan County also caused huge obstacles to the search for Zhang Xiaoni.
The evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect will definitely not forgive him easily!
In addition, the evil Buddhas of the Black Lotus Sect are also afraid that Li Ananda will reveal their true purpose in Mianyuan County and leak information related to Zhang Xiaoni!
Although in the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, Li Anan withstood the torture and did not speak.
But when he was sent to Yizhou Yao Zhensi and sent to the Yao Zhensi headquarters in the capital, could he still keep the secret?
Especially in the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division in the capital, there is also a very terrifying prison. Anyone imprisoned in this prison, whether they are evil cult immortals or Buddhas, or demon kings and ghosts, will eventually have their mouths pried open.
For the evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect, only Li Ananda, who has died and his soul has disappeared, is the Li Ananda who can truly keep secrets.
But from this point of view, the Black Lotus Sect probably did not place a curse on Li Ananda.
Of course, it is also possible that he has reached Li Ananda's level and has been able to suppress or even lift the curse in his body.
"So, did I kill Li Anan by mistake?"
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised.
But soon, he shook his head and gave up the idea.
"If the Black Lotus Sect is really here to kill people and silence them, even if I don't kill Li Ananda, he will be killed by the Black Lotus Sect demons who attacked at that time. After all, they are not here to save people, but to kill. We will only take precautions.
They rescued Li Ananda, but they did not prevent them from killing Li Ananda."
Qin Shaoyou did not regret killing Li Anan.
If you don't kill him, where will the good food come from? If you really want the Black Lotus Sect to succeed, then you won't get anything at all?
His only regret was that the level of [Mingmu] or the mysterious recipe was not high enough at that time to peek into the memory in the soul.
Otherwise, he would be able to discern the Black Lotus Sect's intentions from Li Anan's soul memory, instead of relying on collecting clues from many sources to make guesses and inferences like now.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yong explained some of his understanding of Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni.
These are the situations people from the Black Lotus Sect found out after Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni were 'disappeared'.
It is very different from what Qin Shaoyou investigated, but there are just a few more details.
For example, Lao Zhangtou claimed that he was a farmer from Shaanzhou and had been farming for generations. After arriving in Mianyuan County, he had to switch to selling cooking cakes because he had no land.
In the past few years in Mianyuan County, he had always been illiterate. Even when he wrote letters to his relatives in Shaanxi Province, he had Yongli write them for him.
But when he and Zhang Xiaoni mysteriously 'disappeared', people from the Black Lotus Sect found a lot of books in the house where they lived.
All of them are classics, such as classics and historical works, with comments written on them, mostly related to politics and governing the country. Not only are the writings excellent, but the insights are also quite unique.
Obviously, Lao Zhangtou is not only literate, but also quite knowledgeable, and has been secretly teaching Zhang Xiaoni.
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he frowned again.
Ever since he learned that Zhang Xingzu had a relative working as an imperial physician in the capital, Qin Shaoyou had been speculating whether old Zhang Tou might be that imperial physician?
But now after listening to Yong Li's words, he was a little shaken by this guess.
Although the imperial doctors were also scholars, they were better at medical classics and medical skills. However, what Lao Zhangtou taught Zhang Xiaoni was for the political purposes of the country.
This is not what imperial doctors are good at!
So, Lao Zhangtou is a high official in the imperial court?
Or some father-in-law in the inner court?
As far as Qin Shaoyou knew, eunuchs in the Xia Dynasty also needed to study, and even their teachers were great scholars or important officials in the court.
If one can serve as a steward of the twelve eunuchs of the inner court, he will be a highly knowledgeable person, no worse than a Jinshi.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yong talked about searching for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni along the river.
Qin Shaoyou temporarily stopped speculating on Lao Zhangtou's nonsense and asked: "Have you found it?"
"Probably not found."
"How can I see it?"
After Yongli took a few breaths, he told a new clue that refreshed Qin Shaoyou:
"Because just a few days before you came to Mianyuan County, we received a new order to organize manpower to search for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni in the direction of Guankou County."
