Chapter 245: Three Immortal Sects, Dharma Assembly! [Subscribe]
March
The grass grows and the orioles fly, and the flowers bloom!
Wei Hong finally returned to the capital of gods after traveling for more than half a month. This time, he successfully completed nine tasks of clearing evil spirits. Although he was a little tired, the harvest was very gratifying.
He got tens of thousands of merit points at once, and he would definitely envy others if he told others about it!
As long as he came a few more times, he would not be able to exchange for suitable internal refining techniques and martial arts?
Wei Hong was in a very good mood when he thought that the road ahead was bright!
However, just when he arrived at the capital of gods in a dusty manner and galloped, he saw the capital of gods from afar, but he found something strange.
A village called Liujiawan beside the official road seemed very lively at this moment!
This village is not far from the water and land wharf, and it is also very close to the Duanwangfu manor where Wei Hong had cultivated before. There are about four or five hundred households, all of whom are villagers with the surname Liu. He often passes by here on weekdays.
Wei Hong thought that there was some sacrifice, wedding or funeral in the village, so the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, but after a careful look, he found something wrong.
One or two thousand villagers were burning incense and worshipping under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
In the center of the crowd, there were more than a dozen men and women dressed in the Three Immortals Sect, chanting scriptures and praying, and leading the villagers to kowtow to the three female fairy statues from time to time.
"What's going on?"
Wei Hong subconsciously turned on the evil spirit viewing technique to look over, but he didn't see any evil spirit. When he turned on his spiritual pupils to look over again, he found something wrong!
There were more or less layers of gray air lingering above the heads of the villagers!
These gray airs circled and swirled in the low sky, and finally slowly merged into the three female fairy statues.
More than a hundred feet away, Wei Hong could vaguely hear a very bewitching scripture, which drilled into his ears like a magic sound, making him frown uncomfortably.
He was sure that this scripture had the effect of controlling people!
It's just that Wei Hong is strong, and he can be exempted from control with the Qingxin Mantra. Ordinary people will be brainwashed if they listen to this kind of scripture for a long time.
Look at the villagers' crazy performance and depressed spirit!
A sense of déjà vu of an evil sect suddenly arises, which can't make Wei Hong shudder!
"Instead of going to farm during the spring plowing period, they burn incense and worship Buddha here?" Wei Hong murmured in disbelief: "What the hell is the Three Immortals Sect doing?"
He was confused and wanted to find out!
But in the end, he still suppressed his curiosity!
The strength of the Three Immortals Sect is unknown and there is a national teacher in charge. It's not good for me to provoke them for no reason. These people are not good people at first glance, so I'd better stay out of other people's business!
But when Wei Hong led the horse into the capital of the gods!
He saw that the once bustling streets became a little deserted.
There was a sound of suona coming from the front, and eight strong men were carrying a black coffin and moving forward slowly. The funeral procession was crying and howling, and the paper money flying in the air made the surrounding atmosphere a bit weird.
In the streets and alleys, passers-by were in a hurry!
As soon as I walked to a distance from Wei Mansion, I saw that most of the street was blocked. Thousands of people gathered at the corner of the street to worship and burn incense, and the statue of the female fairy of the Three Immortals was clearly worshipped. Various chanting sounds kept coming, making people very upset!
"How could this be?"
Wei Hong was secretly shocked.
"Haha!" A Confucian scholar in the teahouse nearby couldn't help but sneer and curse: "Damn Three Immortals Sect, instead of encouraging people to farm in spring, they hold ceremonies everywhere every day, and worship the statues in groups of three or five. The government doesn't care about these people?"
"Care? How? Don't you know that this is the secret permission of the national teacher?"
"The current emperor can only ascend the throne with the help of the national teacher. Now who dares to control the civil and military officials and the aristocratic families to preach?"
"Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! I heard that there are many followers of the Three Immortals Sect in Jiangnan. If people hear what you say, you must be beaten to death in the street!"
Other people in the teahouse whispered.
Wei Hong glanced and found a clue.
Those who can sit here and drink tea peacefully are either scholars or warriors. Even the shopkeeper and the waiter are middle-aged men. Most of them are mentally strong and not easily bewitched.
And those who kowtow and burn incense on the street are mostly the elderly, weak, women and children!
Although he didn't know what the Three Immortals Sect was planning, Wei Hong didn't ask too much, but went back to the Wei Mansion directly!
Yan Qinghe happened to be at home today!
When she heard that he had returned to the mansion, she immediately came out with a group of maids to greet him.
"My husband has been running around for more than half a month, and he is finally back. Are you tired? Come on, Cui'er and Xi'er, get me some water to wash my hands and face!" Yan Qinghe arranged happily.
Wei Hong walked in by himself!
Someone fed the horses, and someone brought hot water and towels for washing hands and faces. The service was very thoughtful.
In the hall, Old Wei and Lin Yuanyuan were also there!
They couldn't help but smile when they saw Wei Hong coming back.
"You have been out for more than half a month. What have you been busy with all day?" Old Wei couldn't help complaining, "You didn't know that you should give birth to a big fat boy to carry on the family line. This is the top priority, you know?"
"If you want to enjoy your grandchildren, Yuanyuan will accompany you." Wei Hong took the towel from the maid to wash his face and hands, then took a sip of tea, and smiled, "Grandfather looks good these days. It seems that Qinghe has taken good care of you."
"Granddaughters-in-law are good, not as conscienceless as you." Old Wei laughed and joked, and Yan Qinghe also chuckled.
Wei Hong picked up Lin Yuanyuan and teased her, and a faint sense of satisfaction rose in his heart!
Although he was tired after running around for a long time, he always had a purpose when he thought that someone was waiting for him at home.
"Are you hungry?" Yan Qinghe said softly: "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it, and we'll have a good meal tonight."
"Yeah!" Wei Hong nodded, and then asked: "Grandfather, have you noticed the situation on the street recently?"
"Are you talking about the Three Immortals Sect?" Old Wei's face sank, and he frowned and said: "Recently, people from the Three Immortals Sect have held rituals in major markets every three or five days. It is said that burning incense to female fairies can pray for wealth, marriage, and drive away disease!"
"Many old neighbors in Tianbao Lane have believed in the religion. Now they don't think about making money and making a living every day, but go to the rituals to worship and burn incense all day long!"
"Some people don't go to the clinic when they are sick, but rely on drinking the talisman water issued by the Three Immortals Sect to treat the disease. Don't you think this is nonsense?"
Old Wei complained naggingly!
Wei Hong could not help but secretly raise his vigilance. He did not want to care about what happened to outsiders, but he did not want to see his grandfather and the people around him get into trouble.
"Be careful recently and do not get too close to these people." Wei Hong patiently reminded: "Qinghe, you should also keep an eye on the people in the mansion and do not go out to the streets to get involved too much. Such a sect may have bad intentions, be careful not to get into trouble!"
"Don't worry, my husband!" Yan Qinghe nodded solemnly and promised: "I will pay attention."
