Chapter 324 The True Master in the Stand-In Story 11
Since the news about Bai Su's place here spread, no matter what the original name of this place was, it has since been renamed Yuxian Town.
An official reported the matter. The county magistrate and Yu Juren had offended the gods. In order for the entire country not to be angered by the gods, they had to respond to calm the anger of the gods.
The news kept being uploaded, and after layers of notifications, it finally reached the Golden Luan Hall.The current emperor has just ascended the throne for 3 years, the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, everyone thinks that he is a wise emperor.
However, this Mingjun thought in his heart that the status of gods in the hearts of the people is too high, so it is not good.If the people only care about God and don't work hard, their taxes will be reduced.If the divine power is too great, the imperial power will be weakened.In case of another natural disaster, the emperor will have to issue an imperial edict.
God knows what the emperor has to do with natural disasters!
When the emperor heard about the deeds of the magistrate, his first reaction was that he must protect the county magistrate, dare to challenge the gods, cherish species!
The Taifu said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the first crime of the Li County magistrate and the Yu family is to offend the gods; the second crime is that they colluded with officials and gentry, unjustly accused innocent people, and violated the king's law. Please make a clear decision and punish the Li County magistrate and the Yu family. .”
The officials also said in unison: "Please the emperor make a clear decision and punish the county magistrate and Yu's family."
The emperor also understood that this person could not be protected. If nothing else, breaking the king's law would kill him.The emperor said: "The Ministry of Punishment will arrest the magistrate of Li County and follow Juren at home, remove his meritorious service, and then deal with it according to law."
"Emperor Shengming!"
After the emperor ended his early court, he continued to think about how to weaken the prestige of the gods. There had never been real gods before, but now that real gods appear, the people's belief in gods will definitely be more pious.
That being the case, we can first unify the gods that everyone worships.
The emperor ordered people to look for fairies, and replaced all the temples in Kyoto with fairies, and this move has a tendency to spread to the whole country.Many beliefs in Kyoto have been destroyed, and believers still dare not speak. After all, the god they worshiped did not appear, but the god the emperor wanted to worship did appear.
There were also people who did not believe the rumors and would rather die than change their beliefs. For this, the emperor sent them to serve their gods.
On the other hand, after Bai Su and Yuyou left Wen's house, their footsteps gradually spread to other places. During the period, they encountered many injustices, and they would help them as appropriate, which caused the rumors of the fairy to spread more widely.
The characteristics of the teaching are obvious, and the common people have rumors that the fairy is followed by a god of war. Wherever he goes, he is aware of everything, the weather is good, there is no crime, no crime.
The teachings emerged one after another, and people who saw them from a distance screamed, kowtowed, and surrounded them. From curiosity to habit and then to avoidance, it only took 3 days.
"My lord, let's change our look!" Yu You looked a little hopeless.
Bai Su made a decision with a smile, letting people ignore their whereabouts, and the people who followed them finally dispersed.
On this day, they walked to a water's edge, with green grass growing, green bamboos swaying, and the water waves glowing with golden light, which was extremely clear, like pieces of golden crystals.
Bai Su liked the scenery here, so he stayed here with Yu You for a few more days, boating on the lake every day, fishing and releasing wild animals, leisurely and carefree.
On the third day, there was a sudden downpour of rain from the sky, and the raindrops fell on the lake, splashing big puddles, and the sound of the rainwater falling on the ground was like iron striking, with such force that it seemed to crush the earth. Dripping through.
Although Bai Su and Yu You were not afraid of heavy rain, they couldn't continue to play under such circumstances, so they abandoned the boat, went ashore and turned around, and found a shelter from the rain to rest.
The torrential rain has been falling for 10 days, completely submerging the land, and the river that Bai Su and the others played before has completely swallowed up the original bank.Bai Su looked from afar, and saw countless people struggling in the water, showing all the states of the world.
Not long after, someone came towards the place where Bai Su and the others were. This was the only land that was not flooded, and it was also everyone's hope of survival.
Gradually, more and more people gathered here. Their clothes were soaked and their bodies were covered with muddy water.They are glad that they are alive, but also mourn the loss of their relatives and the disappearance of their homes.
However, when a catastrophe strikes, there will always be many admirable people.Bai Su saw many men saving people with wooden basins, and women helping to light the fire and cook.
There was a little girl named Qingping, who was only twelve or thirteen years old. She had a clear mind, and before boiling water for cooking, she gave advice to everyone to reinforce the place so that the water flow would not rush over.
Bai Su nodded, although she and Yuyou are here, the water will not be washed over, but it is obviously wise for the little girl to plan ahead.
The people who gathered here didn't think of this, and when they heard Qingping's reminder, they immediately got up to work.
At this time, an old woman stepped forward to refute Qingping: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly because the gods are helping us, so they didn't submerge this place. Otherwise, why are we left here?"
The people who got up sat down again, yes, this place is not much higher than other places, and other places are flooded, why is this place fine?God, it must be the god who is helping.
The old woman took the lead and knelt down and bowed to the sky, "Rain God, Earth God, River God, thank all the gods for their kindness. The old woman is willing to worship you. I hope the gods will take over their magical powers soon and let everyone live."
Then, one, two, three... a group of people knelt down.Someone had just returned from rescuing someone and was so tired that he fell down to sleep. Someone next to him pulled him up and said, "Kneel down quickly and ask the gods to give us a way to survive."
The person who was pulled up looked confused and barely opened his eyes and said, "Wait until I get some sleep before begging."
Unexpectedly, the person next to him immediately punched him in the face and shouted: "This man disrespected the gods, which made the gods angry and brought down the flood. We must calm down the gods' anger in order to survive." .”
Then Bai Su was shocked to see that after a brief hesitation, another group of people rushed to beat people, many of whom were rescued by that man desperately, the evil of human nature was vividly displayed.
Ji Youdao: "These people are really white-eyed wolves. Have they forgotten who saved them? A god from nowhere can actually let them attack their savior."
Bai Su said: "It's not all because of the gods, they need to vent their inner fear, and now they just have a breakthrough."
By the time the crowd dispersed, the man had been beaten so hard that he couldn't see his true colors at all.
The old woman raised her arms and shouted, "We will use him to worship the gods."
So a group of people, with the old woman as the center, began to discuss the ritual of worshiping the gods. As for saving people, damn it, it was not as important as worshiping the gods.
In the end, after discussing with each other, they decided to pay homage to a few more people, so as not to overwhelm the gods.In addition to the person who was beaten, 5 other people were identified as sacrifices, two men and two women, and the gods could choose whichever they liked.
Qingping was also among the offerings.
Under the command of the old woman, this group of people tied up several sacrifices and built a simple high platform for the sacrifices to climb onto. A strong man held a knife and slit their arms.
Bai Su helped secretly so that their skin could not be scratched.The man holding the knife was shocked and hurriedly went back to report it to the old woman. The old woman asked someone else to cut it, and then she also cut it herself, but it still didn't open.
She thought for a moment and said, "The gods must be dissatisfied with them. They have complaints. The gods are not willing to accept them as sacrifices."
The frightened crowd glared at the sacrifices, and some rolled up their sleeves, preparing to beat them into submission.
Bai Su's secret help did not make them stop. They dealt with the people on the high platform even more fiercely, as if they were chickens, ducks and livestock that could be killed and sacrificed to the gods after they were tempered.
As a last resort, Bai Su could only show his body, and said to the people who were busy preparing to worship: "The gods don't need sacrifices, they only need your inner beliefs. Such sacrifices by humans are evil methods and are not advisable."
The people kowtowed one after another, followed the instructions of the gods, and let them down from the high platform.The few people who had been used as sacrifices have long been in a daze, and they don't know where they are.
The old woman took a step forward on her knees and said respectfully to Bai Su: "Fairy, the old woman is a priest who sacrifices to the gods. Now that the true god has appeared in the world, can you pass down the method of sacrifice?"
Bai Su looked at the old woman, she was so pious and respectful, she couldn't tell that she was aloof before and treated people like livestock.
Bai Su knew in his heart that if he really passed down some so-called sacrificial method, no, he didn't even need her to teach him any sacrificial method. As long as her attitude towards the old woman was slightly better, she would become the old woman's banner in the future. to persecute ordinary people.
These priests always know the meaning of the gods "just right", which is really scary.
Bai Su said: "Immortals don't need sacrifices. If there is a god in your heart, the gods will protect you. If you don't have a god in your heart, no amount of sacrifices will be in vain. Besides, even if you believe in gods devoutly, you need to accumulate virtue and do good deeds yourself, so that you can start well and end well. Gods don't love you." A man without virtue."
Bai Su's words completely shattered these people's impression of gods. Usually when they talk about who is the most devout to the gods, they must be talking about who makes the most offerings to the gods, but don't gods need to worship?
Bai Su didn't know what they were thinking, and she wasn't interested, she just asked Qingping: "I still lack a disciple, would you like to practice with me?"
Qingping reacted for a moment, then kowtowed again and again, "I am willing, this disciple is willing."
Many other people also begged Bai Su to accept them. Even if they were not apprentices, they could be handymen, serving tea and water for the fairies.Bai Su ignored them, and said softly to the muddle-headed people who had been used as sacrifices: "The theory of sacrifice is nonsense, and you are also a disaster for no reason. Live well in the future, and don't lose your ambition because of it."
With a wave of her hand, several people felt their bodies lighten up, and all of Shen Ke's illnesses disappeared.They kowtowed repeatedly to Bai Su.
Bai Su had already disappeared from the place holding Qingping's hand.
They left here far away, Bai Su still left mana here, leaving a safe place for the nearby people, as for the result, it depends on them.
Seeing Yuyou, Bai Su said to Qingping: "This is Yuyou, you can call her Shishu."
Qingping immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Master Uncle."
Jiao You hurriedly lifted him up and corrected him: "We don't kowtow in the world of cultivating immortals, and we won't kowtow in the future."
Qingping responded respectfully.
