The news that the Saint returned to the Holy Land to expel Taiping Road spread like wildfire. For several days in a row, former believers heard the news and came to pay homage to the Saint and pray for blessings. Whenever these people came to Murong Yan, she would be forced to use her old name.
Make a mysterious gesture to show others, deliberately hiding behind the curtain.
She was originally very bad at playing the role of a superior person, but now she had to guide the believers step by step under the guidance of Dugu Qi to make offerings, and then show up to pray for the believers.
Therefore, Murong Yan was very reluctant at first, always feeling that such businessman-like behavior had tarnished the sanctity of religion, but Dugu Qi chose to tell her without reservation, saying: "Before the saint came back, we were living like this.
Come down."
One after another, "fake saints" were raised by Dugu Qi. They believed from childhood that they would become the masters of the Holy Land and be the real saints. However, when they grew up, reality would slowly make them realize that they were
Just a liar or a whore.
Each of them who is selected as a saint will be required to have intercourse with the selected man in the holy place regularly after they reach adulthood. They are not allowed to have love and marriage, and are just pure practitioners of ancient customs. Until birth
After giving birth to a child, the mission of the false saint is over, and at the same time she will automatically lose all rights and obligations belonging to the saint.
——Just like what happened between Shen Qiongzhi and Bai Feng.
Murong Yan asked: "Have you always been doing this?"
Duguqi nodded and said: "Qiongzhi, she is probably tired of it..." She had no emotions, she was just talking, her face was as delicate as a puppet, and she was as indifferent as the puppet.
Murong Yan knew that Dugu Qi was telling her the real reason for Shen Qiongzhi's betrayal. After hearing what she said, she remained silent for a long time, then stood up to prepare to meet the next believer who came to worship.
In the past few days, Murong Yan was exhausted physically and mentally. Fortunately, there were far fewer believers today. Only a little girl in tattered clothes came to worship. Her donation was very small and she had no offerings. Her slender figure penetrated deeply through the curtains.
The ground was reflected in Murong Yan's eyes.
Dugu Qi asked from the side: "Little girl, do you want any blessing? The Holy Lady can pray for you now."
She replied: "No, as long as I see the Holy Lady, my grandfather said that only when the Holy Lady comes to the Holy Land can the people of the tribe be safe and happy. I finally saw the Holy Lady!"
——In so many days, this is the only person who has not asked for a blessing.
Murong Yan knew that this small amount of money was not enough to persuade Dugu Qi to open the curtain in front of her, so she simply walked out. Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of her was the flower girl she met the day she just arrived in Wuchuan Town. Her eyes were wide open.
The big, stamen-like lips trembled slightly.
"My Lady Saint..." the little girl said, "You are so beautiful, but why are you injured?"
"Don't remember me?" Murong Yan said, "I bought you flowers in front of the city wall of Wuchuan Town that day."
After hearing this, the flower girl immediately knelt down, put her hands on her chest, and prayed: "Please forgive me, Holy Lady! I started sneaking into the Holy Land to pick flowers and sell them half a year ago, but I will give up the money I get from selling flowers every month.
Half of the money I received was used to make offerings to the holy place, and the rest was used to treat grandpa's illness. I was never greedy for money...My parents died, and my brother also died in the war a year ago. Grandpa was seriously ill. I really
There is no other way, after grandpa’s illness is cured, I will definitely use all my savings as offerings!”
Murong Yan asked Dugu Qi: "Is what she said true?"
"Ruyun Ruyue once said that I often saw garlands and a little money on the open-air altar of 'Sanqiuyin'. Could it be that you left it behind?" This voice still lacked emotional ups and downs, and was even suspicious. After all, how could a little girl possibly
Sneak in without being monitored by the Taiping Taoists?
Murong Yan squatted down in despair, then hugged the flower girl, and whispered softly: "Grandpa will recover soon, believe me. Also, there is no need to make sacrifices in the future. No matter how big or small, everyone can make sacrifices."
You can participate, and as for things like donating money, let those who are willing to give give, and those who are unwilling to give don't have to force it."
"Did you hear that?" Murong Yan's voice became heavier, and then she looked back at Dugu Qi.
"I obey, my Lady Saint."
After saying that, Xiao Linzi suddenly rushed in from outside and said in surprise: "Sir Saint, everyone from the Heba family is here, hundreds of people! Brother Feng, Heba Yu'er and the others are here.
Let’s go out and check the situation first, and the Holy Lady should also go and check it out!”
Murong Yan saw Ruyun Ruyue and Caiqi peeking her head secretly outside the door. Knowing that the situation was urgent, she replied: "Everyone, stay here and don't go out."
Then she looked at the flower girl: "Remember to take this girl to find a good doctor. She is sick. Seeing a doctor is much more useful than praying."
After that, she picked up her skirt and trotted out.
At that time, He Basheng was leading hundreds of men to surround the holy place, forming an array and shouting curses.
"Yu'er, my brother knew that you were threatened by gangsters, so he became confused and chose to help those who betrayed us!"
"Look clearly! I have strong troops and horses here. If you give me a little more time, I will be able to regroup and defeat Zhao Kuo!"
"Yu'er, think about our seriously ill father. He is still waiting for you at home! Without Taipingdao's medicine, my father would have died long ago!"
Bai Feng and He Ba Yu'er were still hiding in the cave, leaving dozens of He Ba Yu'er's personal guards to stand guard outside and erecting a shield wall. There was no way to deal with it until Murong Yan, dressed in white robes, appeared in front of them.
"Yan'er?" Bai Feng asked, "What are you doing out here?"
Murong Yan said: "Come to see you. How are you doing these days?"
Bai Feng said: "Let's take a look at He Basheng in front of us first. There are hundreds of people on the other side, and there are less than a hundred of us, and almost all of them are women."
"What's wrong with the woman?" He Ba Yu'er gave Bai Feng a fierce look.
"It cannot be denied that Miss He Ba's personal guards are all good players." Bai Feng opened his hands and shrugged, and said helplessly: "However, there is such a disparity in strength. Even if we put them all into a cave to catch turtles in an urn, we still have to catch one.
It took several days to catch them all, and by then I was probably exhausted."
Murong Yan said: "Do we have to use force to defeat the opponent?" She and Bai Feng looked at each other, put the other's hood on their heads, and continued: "Brother Feng, let's go out first, and follow my orders later!
"
The two slowly walked outside and confronted He Basheng from afar.
"General Heba, I have a way to cure your father's disease!"
"Who is talking nonsense here!"
"My name is Murong Yan, and I am the daughter of Holy Land."
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, and the copper bell on her ankle made a sound.
"Ding bell, jingle bell, jingle bell."
Bai Feng held her arm: "If you go further, you will be within the shooting range of the bow and arrow."
After saying that, Bai Feng lifted off his hood, drew his sword out of its scabbard, and heard a sonorous sword cry: "My lord, Bai Feng, I wonder if the general still remembers this villain."
He Basheng took a closer look and said in shock: "Brother Yuwen, aren't these two your people?"
Yu Wenxuan echoed from the side: "We met these two on the road. Seeing that they were good at skills, I took them on as my servants. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be the most famous wanted criminals in Beizhen."
"More than that! The witches and retinues Taipingdao is looking for are also them!" He Basheng excitedly hammered his head with his fist, and was about to order the whole army to charge, but unexpectedly, He Basheng appeared on the two men at this time.
Behind the person.
"Yu'er, come back quickly!" He Basheng yelled: "No matter what you have done before, big brother will not blame you, come back!"
He Ba Yuer replied: "Now, I cannot forgive you for betraying the gods! Defend the Holy Land to the death!"
"Defend the Holy Land to the death!" Dozens of beautiful blond and blue-eyed guards also let out a rough war cry.
At this time, Yu Wenxuan continued to fan the flames and said, "It seems that Brother He Ba is going to kill the family out of righteousness?"
"Shut up!" He Basheng fell into a complete dilemma.
Just when He Basheng was anxious, Yu Wenxuan's personal guard Zhu Dian slowly walked around He Basheng, suddenly pounced on him and knocked him to the ground. Seeing that the time had come, Yu Wenxuan announced loudly: "
If anyone acts rashly again, He Basheng will be killed!"
He Ba Yu'er whistled, and the war horses came in response. She quickly grabbed He Basheng's military flag and raised it to the sky: "He Ba Yu'er is here, follow me to escort the Holy Lady into the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"
In the eyes of outsiders, the feud between the siblings was only temporary, and no one dared to actually hurt anyone, which led to the sudden mutiny going extremely smoothly.
When He Basheng was firmly pinned down by Zhu Tian's knees, he still couldn't help but scold Yu Wenxuan: "You grandson, we have been friends for more than ten years, and you betrayed me for a wanted criminal!"
"Is there any difference between helping you or helping Zhao Kuo? You are all the same people. You have power, but you never know how to control it." Yu Wenxuan helped remove He Basheng's weapons and spat: "Idiot! If
If I hadn't thought about our friendship of more than ten years, I would have killed you long ago."
He Basheng, who belatedly realized the purpose of Yu Wenxuan's trip, finally understood the purpose of Yu Wenxuan's trip. He asked Zhu Dian to let go of him and said: "You should have told me if you want to deal with Zhao Kuo! I will definitely help you. I am not full of food like the Han people."
Treachery!"
When Zhu Dian saw Yu Wenxuan nodding, he let go of He Basheng.
"We don't need you. Those who have betrayed the gods in the past will feel guilty for betraying the Allies in the future?" Yu Wenxuan sneered and followed Heba's private army back to the city.
