Dachu was still distracted by the scene that he didn't know whether it was a dream or reality, so he thought of an excuse and made nonsense.
Trying to let go of his hand, he could already put down the holy stone. Thinking back to what happened before, he thought for a while and said: "Uncle You, now that I have the ability to help people eliminate evil thoughts, I don't need to carry the holy stone with me for the time being.
Leave it to you for safekeeping.
Remember, don’t take it out and don’t let others touch it, understand?”
Zhou You didn't expect the new leader to trust him so much. He was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the holy stone."
"Um."
Dachu, who was still in a daze, nodded and said, "I didn't get a good rest last night. I'll go back and catch up on some sleep. If anything happens, you and Sanyuan can just watch and deal with it."
"Yes, leader."
After doing all this, Dachu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. He was really worried about an accident if he was asked to carry this sacred stone day and night.
Although the leader was good, the cause of Wangcai's death was too bizarre, and what the four statues said, he had to be careful.
After Dachu left, Zhou You immediately took the holy stone to his son to claim credit: "Three yuan, look, what is this?"
"Holy stone? Dad, how dare you steal this!"
Zhou Yuan asked with his eyes widened after seeing the holy stone.
"Bah, crow's mouth!"
Zhou You spat and said, "This is what the leader asked me to keep."
"The leader really said that?"
After listening to Zhou You's words, Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, we can't put the holy stone up."
"Well, why?"
Zhou Youyi looked puzzled.
"With something as good as the Holy Stone, everyone should feel its power.
The new leader is a bit lazy and not as diligent as the original leader. There have been obviously many fewer believers who have joined the religion recently.
Aren't you worried when you see that so many people have evil thoughts and cannot enjoy the protection and care of God like us?
Therefore, we need to take out the holy stone and keep all the brothers and sisters in the church busy, so that more people can join the cult!"
Zhou Yuan said categorically.
"Sanyuan, you are right, I was indeed narrow-minded before."
Zhou Youwei felt extremely ashamed of the idea of stealing the holy stone for himself, and said: "From today on, while the leader is away, we will enshrine the holy stone to eliminate evil thoughts for more people!"
On the one hand, Dachu praised his wit. I don't have the holy stone, so you can't blame me, right?
But on the other hand, father and son Zhou You and Zhou Yuan, together with the believers, worked hard to bring people back to the mountain temple to let them come into contact with the holy stones, eliminate evil thoughts, and expand the scale of the cult.
All of this happened without Dachu's knowledge.
After spending a few days peacefully, Dachu heard strange noises again. He knew it was the noise made by the statue on purpose. He covered his ears desperately, but then his body lost control and he came to the main hall again.
"Yu Dachu, why don't you do what I told you?"
The statue asked in a clearly angry voice.
"Hey, I'm busy every day, okay? Besides, nearly half of the villagers have already joined the Divine Religion, so that's about it. Do you want everyone to become followers of the Divine Religion?
What is your purpose in doing this?"
Dachu couldn't help but said.
"I said, everything we do is to eliminate people's evil thoughts and cleanse this dirty world. What are you questioning?"
"But this group of people from the Divine Cult have become so strange. They have completely lost their consciousness and thoughts. They are just like puppets. They have no idea what they are doing. I think even if you let them die, they will
willingly.
Can this be called a human being? It is a completely irrational walking corpse. If this is the result you want, I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
After all, Dachu was Mao Xiaofang's apprentice. Although he had many bad habits and many small shortcomings, he was still able to deal with the major issues of right and wrong.
Especially when he learned that Zhou You and Zhou Yuan were trying their best to recruit people to join the religion, he felt that the problem was serious.
However, the entire divine religion has fallen into fanaticism, and his inactive leader no longer has the right to speak——
With the Holy Stone in their hands, it no longer matters whether there is a leader or not.
"Haha, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be exactly the same as that fool Wangcai. Since you betrayed the religion, you will have to suffer the consequences.
But don’t worry, I won’t let you die, I will ruin your reputation, I will make you a street rat, and everyone will cry out to beat you!”
The statue sneered, and a dazzling red light appeared. Dachu rolled his eyes and passed out.
When he woke up the next day, he was surrounded by congregants, all looking at him with evil expressions, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
"You, why do you look at me like that?"
Dachu felt a little flustered, not knowing what the statue had done.
"Leader, why did you kill people? They are all believers of the religion. They all respect you and love you so much. How could you do this?"
Zhou Yuan asked loudly, pointing to the two corpses next to him.
"Killing, I, I didn't do it!"
Dachu waved his hands repeatedly, but found that his hands were covered with dried blood. He shuddered and looked at his clothes, which were also stained with blood.
"When we came, you were the only one at the scene. There was blood on your hands and body, and the murder weapon fell beside you. You said you were not the murderer?"
Zhou Yuan widened his eyes and shouted: "After all, I was in the security team before, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. How dare you make excuses!"
"That's right, you have been shirking your responsibilities during this period, and you obviously don't take the religion to heart. Now that you have killed the believers, you are no longer qualified to be our leader!"
Zhou You said immediately.
"Kill this murderer!"
"The religion cannot be tarnished, kill him!"
In an instant, the entire cult was like boiling water. Everyone was excited and rushed towards Dachu.
"I'm not, I didn't, I really didn't kill anyone!"
Dachu was complaining in his heart. He had been framed once before when Lei Gang was here, but he didn't expect that not long after that, he would be saddled with such a crime again.
Why is my life so miserable!
But now was not the time for him to feel sorry for himself. The fanatical believers all rushed towards him with red eyes, waving hoes, shovels and poles.
He stood up nimbly, endured the pain and escaped from the encirclement after being beaten several times, and ran towards the town. Behind him were the followers who were chasing after him.
…
"It's bad, Master Mao, Daochang Feng... Dachu, Dachu are being hunted!"
Someone rushed to Fuxi Hall out of breath to report the news.
Feng Yi and Mao Xiaofang looked at each other and stood up at the same time, asking in unison: "Isn't he the leader of the divine religion? There are so many believers in the divine religion now, who dares to kill him?"
"The ones who killed him were the members of the Divine Religion!"
