Chapter 375 A gentleman loves money! Get it wisely!
While banging the gong, he said loudly: "Empress Beidou is appearing. Now, I worship Empress Beidou religiously. All my wishes will come true!"
And behind him, there were many people.
These people all had pious faces and followed step by step.
At the same time, the diners in the inn who were bragging just now were all overjoyed.
"Empress Beidou has appeared?"
"Great, let's go quickly!"
"Empress Beidou doesn't appear once a year. Every time she appears, it's very miraculous and makes many people's wishes come true. Let's go quickly!"
"Okay! Go quickly!"
As these people talked, they walked out.
Soon you will join the crowd of those common people.
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he murmured: "Empress Beidou... what's going on with this strong sense of déjà vu?"
He suddenly looked at Tianji and said, "Don't tell me, does this Beidou Empress still have anything to do with your Beidou Society?"
Tianji also seemed a little surprised. She said, "I really don't know about this, but from the name, it seems that there is something to do with it."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
have no idea?
He never believed what Tianji said.
In his opinion, Tianji had arranged so many things here in Nanzhao. Even though he was in the Tang Dynasty, he was absolutely aware of the trends here at all times.
Wouldn't she know?
But Qin Wenyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Tianji at this time.
He stood up directly and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"I would like to see what the so-called Empress Beidou's appearance is all about."
"Apparition?"
He laughed and said, "I am so old, but I have never seen a ghost appear before!"
Qin Wenyuan is the kind of person who is full of curiosity about everything.
If he didn't have this kind of character that is full of curiosity about everything and wants to understand everything, he would not have the detective ability he has today.
So now that I saw something I had never experienced in my previous life, how could I not go and take a look.
Not to mention, he doubted that the so-called Beidou Empress and the Beidou Society were still related.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Qin Wenyuan led Sishe and others out of the restaurant and mingled with the people.
In the queue of people, he found that these people were all chanting something piously while walking.
Qin Wenyuan listened carefully...
"With your blessing, Lady Beidou, let me give birth to a big fat son this year!"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at her, a seventy-year-old grandma...
"Bless me, Lady Beidou, this will make me rich overnight!"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at this man and saw that he was a beggar.
"Empress Beidou bless me and let Sister Lin and I stay together forever."
Qin Wenyuan followed the sound and found that she was a pretty girl.
Qin Wenyuan had nothing to say.
He couldn't help but look at Tianji and said with a strange expression: "Don't you have any normal believers in the Beidou Society?"
Tianji also heard these prayers, and his expression was equally weird.
But compared to Qin Wenyuan's curiosity, she actually felt a sense of shame.
Even though she has betrayed now, she was still a member of the Beidou Club in the past.
Therefore, she felt that there were such believers in Beidou, and she felt shameless.
But at this moment, Tianji suddenly thought of something. She opened her eyes suddenly and said, "I don't know if the Beidou Empress is related to the Beidou Society, so I don't know if Beidou Empress's followers are related to the Beidou Society."
of believers.”
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji and said faintly: "The reaction is too slow. Having been with me for so long, hasn't your reaction speed been improved? It's not okay to be affected by things around you so easily, Tianji.
!”
"If this continues, you will never have the chance to deceive me again."
Tianji: "..."
Tianji has nothing to say.
Qin Wenyuan said everything.
And she also knew that there was really nothing she could do to deceive Qin Wenyuan, and it would be even more ridiculous to explain it now.
So, just be a quiet handsome man.
Qin Wenyuan saw that Tianji was silent, laughed, and said nothing more. There were many people around, and talking too much could easily reveal the truth.
In this way, he followed these people all the way.
After passing Neng for two streets, we finally stopped.
As soon as he got there, he found many people kneeling there and kowtowing.
In front of them was a huge statue.
This statue can be one foot tall, is completely black, and looks like it was carved from a huge stone.
As for this statue, a small half is buried in the soil at this time, and the other half is exposed.
The statue depicts a woman. This woman has an exquisite figure and a beautiful face. She is looking forward gently. Not to mention... she really feels like a mother nurturing the world.
"Tianji, have you seen this statue?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Tianji Chong frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, I have no impression at all."
"Have you ever seen the appearance of this statue? Is it carved based on the appearance of someone from your Beidou Society?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "Such a concrete statue is definitely not carved without reason. Even if there is no such person, it must have been based on someone or some people, otherwise it would never be carved like this."
…………
"So do you have any ideas? Feel familiar?"
"You don't need to be familiar with the whole picture, it can be a certain detail, such as the eyes, such as the nose, etc."
Tianji looked at the statue in front of him for a long time.
Then she frowned, remained silent for a moment, and shook her head again.
"Still not impressed."
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji, squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and shook his head.
He believed that Tianji could not be completely ignorant.
But Tianji deliberately concealed it, and Qin Wenyuan had nothing to do.
He doesn't have the ability to read minds. Even if his insight is amazing, he can't detect everything.
Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
As he investigates, he can always find out clearly.
And now, he just wants to see what is going on with this so-called empress of heaven and earth appearing.
Qin Wenyuan withdrew from the crowd and walked to one side of the street.
Because these people are all followers of Beidou Empress.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When they saw this black statue, they all knelt down and prayed.
So if Qin Wenyuan is still standing there, while everyone else is kneeling down, and he is the only one standing, then he is too conspicuous and too special.
So Qin Wenyuan took this opportunity and went directly to the street. There were many people pointing and pointing, but they did not kneel down like the believers. This made Qin Wenyuan not so obvious.
Obviously, no religion can convince everyone.
After all, there are still people who don’t believe it.
"Empress Beidou has appeared!"
At this moment, a cry suddenly rang out.
Everyone followed the sound.
Qin Wenyuan also looked over.
Then I saw a man wearing sun and moon Taoist robes standing on the side of the statue, singing something to the statue with a serious look on his face.
After a moment, he suddenly turned around, faced the kneeling believers, and said loudly: "Empress Beidou has felt everyone's piety and belief, and is about to have a spiritual manifestation!"
"And at the moment when Lady Beidou appears, the hope in the letter is also the easiest opportunity for Lady Beidou to sense and realize it!"
"So everyone must be pious and don't have distracting thoughts. With a pious heart, pray for Empress Beidou's blessing!"
The believers seemed to have been brainwashed at this time. They knelt down and kowtowed over and over again, shouting: "I beg the Beidou Empress to appear!"
Finally, it seemed that I really felt the faith of the believers.
The black statue suddenly moved at this moment!
That's right, it moved on its own without anyone touching it.
This scene was seen by all the believers.
In an instant, these believers became even more enthusiastic.
"The empress has appeared!"
"Bless me!"
"Please bless me!"
The believers shouted loudly.
And the statue of Lady Beidou seemed to have really heard the believers' words, and it actually grew taller and taller.
No...it's not that the statue got taller.
But the statue that was originally buried on the ground suddenly broke free from the ground.
It looked like it was about to burst out of the land.
This scene deeply shocked the believers, who became even more enthusiastic.
Even the people who were watching the excitement at first knelt down when they saw this scene and started praying.
Qin Wenyuan and others were standing aside and saw this scene clearly.
At this moment, Si She and others were also shocked.
Sishe couldn't help but said: "Is this really a spiritual manifestation?"
Tianji frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
But Qin Wenyuan sneered.
"Apparition? Interesting!"
He turned to look at Tianji, saw Tianji's brows furrowed, and asked, "Did you see what the trick was?"
"Trick?" Sishe was startled.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Do you really think that some kind of empress of heaven and earth is showing her spirit?"
Sishe frowned, still unable to understand what was going on.
He saw it very clearly.
There was no one near the huge statue, so there was no elevation caused by people touching it.
Moreover, the sculpture is very heavy at first glance, and it cannot be lifted by one or two people.
So now he really doesn't understand, what's going on, why this statue can move on its own.
"Tianji, please explain to Sishe?" Qin Wenyuan said to Tianji.
Tianji frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said, "There should be something buried under the stone statue."
"What was buried?" Sishe was startled.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Maybe it's something like beans. These things will sprout automatically as long as you add water."
"Don't underestimate bean sprouts. The power of nature is great, and the power of these small bean sprouts is also very terrifying."
"And for beans to sprout, as long as the temperature is suitable, it is completely possible to estimate when they will sprout quickly and over a large area."
"So, you just need to bury the beans under the stone statue in advance, then water it regularly, calculate the time, and then call the believers over, naturally..."
Qin Wenyuan looked at the pious scene in front of him and said with a faint smile: "Of course... we can see the so-called empress of heaven and earth appear."
Sishe suddenly understood after hearing Qin Wenyuan's explanation.
"So that's it, Master, I was almost deceived."
Qin Wenyuan smiled: "It is too easy for people who don't understand to be deceived. Look at so many believers. They have probably been deceived in this way over and over again, and finally they completely believe in it."
He glanced at Tianji beside him and said, "Why don't you see your Beidou Club deceiving people like this in the Tang Dynasty?"
Tianji spoke up this time.
She said: "The Tang Dynasty is different from Nanzhao. The Tang Dynasty has thousands of years of cultural heritage and its own spiritual heritage. It is the most difficult for people like this to believe in something."
"But Nanzhao is different. Nanzhao was founded only a short time ago, and its culture has long been discontinued. The people have no cultural and spiritual heritage and need some faith to survive. So naturally, promoting these in Nanzhao is very effective."
"But in the Tang Dynasty, this method was not feasible. Not only was it not feasible, but if you did this, you would be arrested by the government, and the gain would outweigh the loss."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded.
Indeed, Datang and Nanzhao were two completely different countries.
The Tang Dynasty has the cultural inheritance of hundreds of schools of thought, the teachings of Confucianism, Taoism and Law, and the persistence of generations of capable people with lofty ideals. Even the most ordinary people have not read books, but they don’t know what they have in their bones.
changing.
These are the most helpless aspects of so-called religion.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs, but Datang is truly seamless.
Spirit, inheritance, and culture are sometimes the most powerful weapons!
Qin Wenyuan said: "This is the sadness of not having inheritance!"
The snake was silent.
Tianji was not silent either.
Gradually, the statue of Lady Beidou stopped moving.
The man in the sun and moon robes at the front opened his arms and said: "If we want our wish to come true, we must let Empress Beidou feel our piety, so now, dedicate everything you have to Empress Beidou!"
As he was talking, people in similar clothes walked into the believers carrying boxes one by one.
Then I saw these believers donate generously and put all the good things they had in the box.
Qin Wenyuan looked at this scene, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a faint smile: "You Beidou masters are really good at making money. This is much simpler than doing business. There is no cost, no need to make more preparations, it is just like picking up money.
"
"But you have received so much money, and these believers still want to thank you!"
"Incredible, really incredible!"
Tianji curled her lips and said, "I don't like to defraud money from ordinary people."
"If it were me, I would only plunder money from wealthy businessmen, gentry, or even the court, but I would not deceive these ordinary people who already have a bad life!"
Qin Wenyuan clicked his tongue and marveled: "I didn't expect you to have such noble thoughts. I am almost moved by you."
Tianji said calmly: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Qin Wenyuan, although I am a daughter, I also have my own set of principles."
