"At the beginning of the primordial beginning, there was no heaven and earth, no mountains and rivers, no human relations, nothingness, chaos and emptiness. The old Tathagata came to establish the world, and separated the upper and lower talents and the three talents. Now, he has not been affected by the three disasters, and the space is true! Now now
, Maitreya comes to the world to save everyone, but they are confused, dizzy, and wandering in the sea of suffering! This is an unusual way, and you can return it even if you are born!"
On the high platform, Fang Linyue's voice spread clearly around. The so-called teachings were also extremely simple. People who had never read books could understand them clearly, but they were much simpler and clearer than those so-called Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.
There is not a word of nonsense in the whole article, but every sentence is nonsense. At the beginning, it compares people to lost lambs who need to believe in the White Lotus Society to find a way out. Although the language is simple, the effect is excellent.
Fan Zhongyan stood on the high platform and talked about the court's pension policy, preaching about the turmoil caused by the victims leaving their hometown, and his official status, as a pacification envoy, he came to Jianghuai to rescue the victims, etc...
Naturally, these things could not make the victims outside the city believe what he said. On the contrary, more victims came to listen to Fang Linyue. The White Lotus Society also issued a bad check, but the bad check he wrote was wonderful, and he had also given it to the people before.
Blessed water can cure diseases and save people, and it is much more beneficial than your soothing messenger!
"The treasure cauldron burns incense, fills the four directions, and everyone goes to the Lingshan Mountain to invite the King of Dharma. The Dharma Realm is boundless, the Buddhas descend to the monastery, Maitreya descends to the world, all the gods welcome him, and the incense clouds in the south cover the Bodhisattva Maha!"
As Fang Linyue finished reciting the last sentence, the surrounding White Lotus believers also began to repeat this sentence: "The treasure cauldron burns incense and fills the four directions. People go around to Lingshan to invite the King of Dharma. The Dharma Realm is boundless. All the Buddhas descend to the Taoist temple and Maitreya descends.
In this world, all the heavens welcome you, and Nanwu fragrant clouds cover the Bodhisattva Maha!"
People kept joining, and people kept repeating. Ye An looked at the woman in white on the high platform in surprise. Unexpectedly, the White Lotus Club had found the best way to advertise, repeat.
Repetition can not only be used as an advertising method, but also can brainwash people's psychology. Qin Mumu has long used this in the management of Puhui Company.
The most famous advertising slogan in Tokyo is "Puhui Department Store has everything you need." Although it is just eight words, it can be found all over the streets and alleys of Tokyo.
Everyone from old men to children knows this, and the inclusiveness in Tokyo has become a subconscious reaction for people when shopping.
The current White Lotus Society is also using this method, repeating this sentence constantly, so that the victims around them can recite it piously and strengthen their faith and confidence.
Fan Zhongyan got off the platform angrily, and Wu Yu beside him was already extremely angry. He was a scholar-bureaucrat, and while he was well-read in poetry and books, he had the most contempt for heretics like the White Lotus Society.
Seeing that the victims believed in White Lotus but not the imperial court, he felt angry and anxious. He drew out the simple sword of the Imperial Guard beside him and said: "Talking to these stupid people about the policy of the country is like playing harp to an ox. In my opinion, it is better to send troops to capture the White Lotus demon girl."
, if the ignorant people disperse, White Lotus will inevitably overthrow! Inspector Liu, I order you to lead your men to capture the witch quickly, and make her confess her crime before the law!"
Inspector Liu is the inspector of Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing City. He has worked with Wu Yu for many years. Seeing the Bailian Society becoming more and more popular, he, the inspector, is also very anxious. Naturally, he has to show off in front of the pacifier.
.
He clasped his fists with both hands and said, "General, take your orders!" Then he took the people who had been prepared and headed to Fang Linyue's high platform.
Fan Zhongyan was shocked and stopped him: "No, the victims are confused at this time and cannot be easily arrested, which may lead to a civil uprising!"
However, Ye An felt that it was best to take action now when the White Lotus Society was still in its infancy, otherwise tens of thousands of people would be bewitched by it and gather to cause chaos, and the unlucky victims would still be these.
The only problem was that Inspector Liu didn't have enough power. If he couldn't catch all the demons in the White Lotus Club, he would be passive. With a wink at Zhao Hu and others, they immediately stepped forward to stop Inspector Liu.
Inspector Liu and Wu Yu looked at Ye An in confusion and said, "What does it mean to appease the deputy envoy? Is it possible that he wants to watch the White Lotus Society sit up and confuse people's hearts?"
Ye An glanced at Fan Zhongyan and then smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that me and the pacifier won't let you arrest the demons, but do you know how many demons there are in the White Lotus Society, and who blends into the crowd to deceive people? If you can't arrest them all, how many of them will slip through the net?
The fish will definitely incite the victims to attack the government troops, and there will definitely be casualties. The tension between the disaster victims and the government troops will become more and more intense. Isn't this what the White Lotus Demon wants to see?"
Ye An's rhetorical question made Wu Yu and Inspector Liu look embarrassed. Fan Zhongyan stroked his beard and said: "What Deputy Ambassador Ye said is reasonable. The current situation is like a raging fire cooking oil. If you are not careful, it will get out of control!"
"
"Mr. Fan, why don't you let Changsheng go on stage to meet that demon for a while?"
Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine, the words of immortality can always hit the point directly, so give it a try!"
Wu Yu glanced at Inspector Liu next to him. Their eyes were full of disdain. In their opinion, the highly respected Fan Zhongyan's speech on stage for so long had no effect. What could Ye An, the deputy envoy to appease, do?
They are just young people with louder voices and more energy!
"Bang bang bang!" The gong at the city gate rang again. The victims looked back curiously and saw a young official ascending to the high platform.
The victims immediately whispered: "Why is Sheng a young man? He is not as good as Fan Zhengzhi just now!"
"Really? What can such a young man do?"
"I heard that he is the leaf thief mentioned by the Bailian Society, Ye An, the Marquis of Yunzhong County! He failed to implement the new method of tea cultivation, which caused the destruction of tea households in the Southeast Tea Farm!"
"Scared! How can the government let him be the deputy envoy to appease?!"
"You don't know? This man is good at fighting and kills people like hemp. He killed tens of thousands of Xiqiang in Huanzhou and countless people in Ganliang. He is a real killer!"
"Scared! Are you going to kill me?"
"I can't tell, if this murderous god becomes murderous, I'm afraid we'll become prey on his sword!"
The followers of the White Lotus Society, under Fang Linyue's arrangement, continued to slander Ye An, so that he had already become the spokesperson of the "murderous devil" in the hearts of the victims before he even opened his mouth.
The words of the victims naturally reached Ye An's ears, but he didn't think it mattered. The White Lotus Society portrayed himself as a "murderous devil", which actually promoted his subsequent preaching.
"Tieniu, please give me the gong to ring louder. If it misses the gong, try another one!"
Following Ye An's words, Tieniu began to beat the gong crazily. The clanging sound of the gong covered up the noisy human voices, and also covered up Fang Linyue's voice.
"I am the Marquis of Yunzhong County, the deputy envoy to Jianghuai who was ordered by the official family!" The moment the gong stopped, Ye An reported his official name, and came to take the lead.
In any case, the people of the Song Dynasty still had a natural respect for officials. They were ordinary people, either small businessmen in the county or farmers in the countryside, and most of them had to fulfill their duties.
Even some ruffians, city foxes and rats among them were making noises, but they were frightened by Ye An's sharp eyes, like chickens and ducks whose necks were strangled, and they dared not make a sound.
