Chapter 114 The people can follow it, but they cannot know it
The rain gradually weakened, and three transformed snakes swam out of the woods and gathered around the battered body of the transformed snake.
The one in the middle is obviously one size larger than the other two, and its hunched body exudes a sinister aura.
And at the same time, a ray of lightning rushed along the official road, from far to near, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close.
The lightning flashed away, and two figures, one tall and one low, appeared. The taller one, wearing a khaki robe and a yellow scarf, with yellow marks on his face like a stone statue, was none other than a yellow scarf warrior.
The other one, seven feet tall, wore a yellow cloak and covered his face with a hood, with only his chin exposed. He held a yellow scepter and had yellow runes appearing and disappearing all over his body.
In the Taiping Sect, those who hold the staff are doctors, traveling everywhere, spreading talisman water, saving lives, curing diseases, and spreading teachings.
The top leaders of the Jiaozhong Temple are great doctors, who teach the world with good ways.
Even the sect Zhixuan can be regarded as a doctor. He once traveled all over the nine states with a nine-section staff and saved countless lives. He has great fame all over the world.
The doctor had an extraordinary position in the Taiping Sect. When they saw him arriving, the two transformed snakes bowed their heads slightly to show respect.
Then, the leader's snake body squirmed, its scales gradually disappeared, its tail split into legs, and its gray hair and wings gradually disappeared. After about ten breaths, the snake leader had already transformed into a human form.
However, unlike the legendary monsters that transformed into humans, the human form transformed by the snake leader was completely naked and did not conjure clothes out of thin air. It can be said to be quite scientific.
He took out a robe from his storage bag and put it on, saying in a snake-like voice: "Cao Yuanlong was captured. His warriors and the twenty-six eighth-level warriors he summoned were all killed, as well as mine.
Not one of my subordinates is gone. This line is considered collapsed and we need support."
If they turn into snakes and take action, they will not be able to maintain the rain all the time, so other people need to be responsible for screening pedestrians and intercepting them. Now that Cao Yuanlong and others have been wiped out, without support, this road will probably not be sealed.
.
"Now that we have been exposed, we should distance ourselves from the relationship instead of getting deeper into it." The doctor shook his head and said, "The time has not come yet, and I am not ready yet. If you want to make an effort in one fell swoop, what else do you have to do?"
?”
The purpose of using monsters as the main force of rainfall is to clear the relationship and blame the Demon God Sect. If they really want to rebel immediately, they should have a full-scale outbreak instead of sending these people now.
"This is just a simple missionary." The doctor said.
The ancestors created natural disasters, and then let those who taught Chinese medicine spread their benevolence, so that they could quickly gather followers. This is the current missionary method of the Taiping Sect.
When the snake leader heard this, he couldn't help but show a manic look, "Did our people die in vain? And now that the matter has been exposed, how can we preach? According to me, we should just go against it, attack the city of God, and seize it
That dog emperor is in the bird position, instead of swallowing his anger like this."
"So what if it's exposed?" The doctor chuckled with unknown meaning, "It's us who provide timely assistance after the disaster, and it's us who give porridge and cure diseases. Do you think those ignorant people believe in us, or do they believe in those superior sects or sects?
A slow-moving bureaucracy.”
"The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. The hundreds of years of the Zhou Dynasty's policy of governing the country have fostered countless ignorant people, which is why the rise of our religion has come about."
This sentence is a Confucian sage's words found in ancient books hundreds of years ago by Taixue of the Zhou Dynasty. It means "You can let the common people follow the path guided by us. There is no need to let them know why."
It is said that at that time, Taixue Jijiu wrote a treatise on governing the people centered on this statement, which he submitted to the emperor and was praised by the emperor. As a result, Confucianism became the mainstream in the court.
Although I don’t know how valuable this rumor is, the policy of governing the people of the Zhou Dynasty is indeed vaguely consistent with this, making this statement a ridicule for some people who are dissatisfied with the court.
It's a pity that the snake leader hasn't read many books and obviously doesn't know this allusion. The doctor's sarcasm only received three confused looks from the snakes, making him feel like he was playing the harp to an ox.
At this moment, a stream of white air rose from the ground, and the figure of Jingyun County Magistrate Ren Zihe slowly emerged.
As soon as he appeared, he had a gloomy look on his face and said: "A superior envoy has come to ask me about the abnormality here. You'd better come up with a charter, otherwise if I fall, I won't be able to live well."
.”
"Why are you panicking?" the doctor said calmly, "You only need to delay them for a day, and I guarantee that I can clean up all the messes. Then you can report it to the county government and say that it is a demon who caused trouble. At most, this is considered an oversight on your part.
I'll punish you with a small salary, and you won't even need to beg for your bones."
When Ren Zihe heard this, he thought it was right.
At most, he failed to check the abnormal weather in time, which is really not a big mistake. No matter how powerful the envoy is, he still has to be reasonable, right?
And although the heavy rain occurred in more than one place, it happened only in this place in Yuzhou, because this is the only place where Yuzhou and Yongzhou border. This also prevented the county magistrate from learning about the same anomaly from his colleagues in Yuzhou. This omission was also a coincidence.
Excusable.
Thinking about it this way, as long as the envoy is delayed a little, the matter will be solved.
Ren Zihe nodded and said, "Well, I'll just delay it for a day. I hope you won't break your promise."
"Keep your word." The doctor smiled.
After getting the promise, Ren Zihe was about to go to the ground again and rush back to the county government office. However, at this moment——
His expression suddenly froze, and his face turned livid, "It happened."
Doctor:"?"
"Just now, my master prayed to my shrine and said that countless flyers were floating over the county town..." Ren Zihe gritted his teeth and said, "It says that the Taiping Sect carried rain clouds and caused droughts.
thing."
Things are getting serious.
It is impossible to delay the news by directly lifting the lid. The most important thing is not to let the Taiping Sect sever the relationship.
As the doctor said before, the people follow blindly. Once the news comes out, it doesn't matter how the Taiping Religion shows mercy in the future. As long as the people confirm that the news is true and there is indeed a drought in Yongzhou, there will be a market for the news to spread.
Moreover, the Shenxing Taibao must be aware of the situation at this moment, and will definitely notify the county government as soon as possible, and then conduct an investigation. The one-day delay is gone.
This time, let alone Ren Zihe, the smile on the doctor's face could no longer be maintained.
"Who did this?" he couldn't help but said angrily.
Unfortunately, the people present are destined to be unable to answer this question, because even the people who do it make up their minds on the spur of the moment, and who can guess it first?
At this moment, high in the sky, a sword light flashed across, and countless leaflets flew down like snow.
Vaguely, two figures could be seen on the sword, one of them shouted: "Don't touch my waist."
