For six months, Wu Sheng observed the changes in the power of Chongxin at the Longmen Altar Square Pool under the Yanluoshan Well. The changes were quite obvious. The power of Chongxin in the pool was increasing faster and faster, indicating that Suo Laoliu
The missionary work with Zhang Xiaokeng went very smoothly.
The two Taoist priests would send letters to Wu Sheng from time to time, reporting to him the progress of their preaching. As they continued to preach, they became more and more proficient in their work. Which stories were the most contagious, which slogans touched people's hearts the most, and which sermon sequence was the most effective.
As a result, they all gradually found a shortcut, and the preaching process became faster and faster.
So far, they have awarded the title of High Merit to twelve people, which means they have laid nails in the twelve barbarian villages.
The statue of King Yu carved by Dongxue was getting rougher and rougher. Firstly, she lost the freshness, and secondly, because the front line was busy urging the goods, so she stopped carving it carefully and pulled it down as soon as it was completed. Later, she simply
He took on apprentices, starting with Hu Da's family, and many households in Hutou Village became workshops specializing in carving statues of gods.
The rate of accumulation of faith in Fangchi has doubled, which means that about 5,000 savages near Yangzhou have been developed into believers, with the total number of believers exceeding 10,000.
The existence of the high-gong system can also ensure that the influence of preaching will not be weakened due to their departure, and can even have a good radiation effect, which is somewhat like starting a prairie fire.
Therefore, every time Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng go to a village, they only develop core believers, usually ten to fifteen people, and then select a high-ranking believer from among them, who will lead the core believers to develop the remaining villagers. This way
Once this happens, efficiency is greatly improved.
They plan to visit all the savage villages in Yangzhou before the end of the year, and then move to Shouchun, and increase the total number of believers to 30,000 by the middle of next year.
King Yu's Shinto spread in the barbarian villages near Yangzhou, with more and more believers, which inevitably attracted the attention of Tingsi. Many reports were intercepted by Yangzhou Tingsi's doormen and Cheng Jia, and sent to Zhong Liying, who then sent them to Zhongliying.
Zhong Liying reported to Wu Sheng.
Zhong Liying is Wu Sheng's good assistant and confidant in school affairs, but she has not been exposed to Wu Sheng's core secrets for the time being. After all, Wu Sheng believes that if Zhong Liying is given a choice between the school and himself, Zhong Liying will most likely choose
Xu Gong, so he was not told about the construction of King Yu’s Shinto.
When Zhong Liying reported the "evil village evil" incident to Wu Sheng, he proposed that the Ting Temple immediately cooperate to crack down on the evil.
His proposal was adopted by Wu Sheng, and Yangzhou Academy acted vigorously and immediately established a "Special Task Force to Combat Evil Taoism". The task force was located at Yanluo Villa. The leader was Yong Zhi, and the deputy leader was Lu Kuang, who was transferred
Wei Shumang and other five people who have committed meritorious deeds are members of the action team. They recruit the doormen and Cheng Jia of the Ting Temple as liaison officers, and Zhong Shenyan as the secret agent, specializing in searching for and attacking evil heretics.
…
Lu Kuang glanced at Wu Sheng again, and with Wu Sheng's urging, he finally entered the Temple of King Yu and carefully walked around behind the statue. After being in seclusion for nearly a year, this was the first time he entered the Temple of King Yu, the one on the shrine.
The majestic statue made him somewhat fearful.
He opened the curtain under the shrine and saw a wooden pot lid. He removed the pot lid and saw a dark wellhead below, which was bottomless.
Following Wu Sheng's instructions just now, Lu Kuang went down to the bottom of the well, dived through the water, entered the huge underground cave, walked along the deep cave, and finally saw the huge iron gate.
It turns out it’s true, walking is not a lie!
After standing there for a long time, he woke up from his daze and came to Yong Zhi who was sitting in front of the door.
Yong asked directly: "You are out of seclusion? Congratulations to you."
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "After a long time, I finally caught up with you, but I found that I was getting further and further away from you."
Yongzhi said: "It is actually not difficult to distract your mind from practicing the spirit. When you reach the level of cultivation, you can come here and sit more. It will be good for distracting your mind."
Lu Kuang asked: "Why not report this place to the Academy?"
Yongzhi said: "I have finally found the Immortal God Cave, but I haven't figured out how to open it yet. Leave it to the Academy? Who is willing to do it? Don't you want to go in and have a look?"
Lu Cheng looked at the iron gate and couldn't help but nod: "That's right... So, we must try our best to protect this place until we find a way to open the door."
Yongzhi said: "We have found a way to walk, so you must protect this way to open the door."
Lu Kuang asked: "Zhidalang, aren't you going?"
Yongzhi said: "Walking is just to give me a name. Now that you are a refiner, and you have Wei Shumang and the others to help you, there is nothing you can't handle. I still want to learn Taoism and practice here, so I am too lazy to go out."
Lu Kuang was ordered to return to Yangzhou. After entering the realm of refining gods, he felt quite high-spirited. When he met his good friend Wei Shumang and others, they all sighed and said nothing.
Guided by the secret agent Zhong Shenyan, the task force arrived at the Savage Village in a mountain thirty miles south of Yangzhou City that night and met Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng.
Suo Laoliu introduced: "We came here seven days ago. We originally thought that we would finish preaching smoothly and go to the next place just like elsewhere. However, we didn't know it was not that easy. After working for many days, we only developed three
Believers. After asking around later, I found out that this place has been targeted for a long time. There is a guy from Taiyi who spreads the ghost way here."
Mountain Ghost is one of the ancient immortal gods recognized by the Academy and is the Lord of the mountains. Many villagers in mountain villages believe in Mountain Ghost and belong to the righteous path.
Hearing that it was a mountain ghost, Lu Kuang immediately understood: "So they reported you to Yangzhou?"
Suo Laoliu said: "That's what happened. The Taiyi wizard who preached is a spiritual wizard. My brother is no match for him, so he has to endure it. How about it? What are the instructions for walking?"
Lu Kuang informed him about the establishment of the special task force, and both Taoist priests were very excited: "It must be said that he has courage to walk. Since that guy dares to report it, he should be severely punished to let him know who owns Yangzhou!"
Wei Shumang asked from the side: "It is not difficult to kill the spirit witch. The key is what to do after killing it? Those believers have already believed in mountain ghosts, how to convert them?"
Suo Laoliu said: "They are just stupid men and women. My brother is still sure of this. In fact, Xing Xing once said that only fanatic believers will only believe in one god. After all, such people are very few. Even the Academy has confirmed that
There are many immortals and gods, and it is not difficult for the general public to believe in one."
Wei Shumang said again: "The last question is, what will happen to the Taiyi people after they are taken down? If he sues to the academy in the future, how to explain it? I heard that Ji Xian, the great monk, is the guardian of Taiyi, so I'm afraid
He will pursue it."
Lu Cheng said: "This was explained to me by Xing Xing before I came here. We won't explain it. Xing Xing said that all the Taoisms in the world are complicated and complicated. Even in the academy, no one can tell clearly how many Taoist priests there are. What we want to ensure is that,
As long as no one reports it to the Academy."
Everyone in the task force knew this, so they surrounded a bamboo building in the dense forest at the east end of the village.
