Chapter 299 Overturning the Table

The car drove for about 40 minutes and stopped in front of a peach forest.

This area is a tourist hotspot near the provincial capital. At the foot of the mountain, next to the peach forest, there is a group of ancient villas, the owners of which are either rich or noble.

One of the villas is the retreat of spiritual master Amartya Feng.

The original owner of the villa is said to be the big boss of a real estate company and a devout believer of Master Feng. He gave the villa and the nearby peach forest to the master as an offering.

The villa is heavily guarded, and four uniformed guards stand at the gate.

Despite Yue Peng's introduction, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng still had to pass the body search before entering the gate and handed over all communication equipment including mobile phones.

Fortunately, the important items of the two were stored in the star disk, and the button camera given to them by Captain Deng was not searched out.

Nearly a hundred devout believers of Master Feng have gathered in the courtyard of the villa, all wearing white robes.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng were the only two newcomers. They had not yet bought spiritual uniforms, so they stood out in the crowd.

At 10 o'clock, the immortal Master Feng appeared in the courtyard on time, stepped onto the podium, and accepted the worship of believers.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other, and had to reluctantly follow Yue Peng to kneel on the grass to avoid arousing Master Feng's suspicion.

Master Feng stroked his long beard and smiled, seeming to be very satisfied with today's grand occasion. He cleared his throat and began to teach.

The things he talked about were nothing more than some clichéd chicken soup for the soul.

Gao Fei felt very bored after listening to a few sentences. He yawned with his hands covering his mouth, and quietly opened the star disk to investigate Master Feng's background.

……

From the data provided by the astrolabe, except for the high charm of this Master Feng, the other attributes are not particularly outstanding, and the combat ability is as mediocre as Gao Fei guessed.

However, this guy has a supernatural ability called "Suggestive Aura".

After it is activated, it will exert an effect similar to the 3rd-level magic "Suggestion" on creatures within 30 feet.

If the affected creatures cannot pass the DC16 will save, they will be hypnotized by Master Feng's words and demeanor, and will involuntarily develop a trust in him, even if the other party says some obviously illogical nonsense, they will believe it without discrimination.

"Suggestive Aura" is not omnipotent, and it cannot reach the level of completely controlling other people's thoughts.

If Master Feng issues an order that obviously violates the vital interests of his believers, such as requiring believers to donate all their wealth or jump off a building to commit suicide immediately, the other party will not only not obey, but will become highly vigilant and get rid of the hypnotic state.

Because of this, Master Feng had to spend a lot of time and speak on stage, hiding the purpose of the fraud, packaging it as a so-called spiritual practice course, under the guise of traditional culture, natural harmony, health care, homeopathy and other popular guise, inducing the audience to think that he was really doing it for their own good, and they fell into the trap unknowingly.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng were blessed with "spiritual barriers" by Yaoguang to help them resist the influence of "suggestive aura".

As for the other believers in the courtyard, most of them had weak willpower, and they had been brainwashed by Master Feng several times, so they had almost no resistance to his "suggestive aura".

Master Feng spoke for more than half an hour and stopped to drink water.

Gao Fei noticed that he was not drinking spiritual holy water, and wanted to ask him in person why he didn't drink the product he was selling, but he held back in the end.

Next, Master Feng ordered his personal disciples beside him to bring two large boxes of holy water and distribute them to the audience present, asking them to raise their glasses and drink together to cleanse their hearts.

Gao Fei could see that this so-called "purification ceremony" was actually a test of obedience.

If someone refused to drink the "holy water" filled with cow urine, or showed a hesitant look, it meant that he had resisted Master Feng's "suggestive aura" and had not been completely brainwashed.

For such "dangerous elements", Master Feng would rebuke the other party for not being sincere enough, or having mediocre qualifications, and unable to comprehend the essence of spiritual practice, and expel them on the spot to avoid being exposed.

As undercover agents sent by the police, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng should drink the holy water without hesitation and pretend to be completely brainwashed like other believers of Master Feng out of professional ethics.

However, the bad thing was that they already knew what the so-called holy water was, and they struggled several times, but finally couldn't swallow it.

While they were hesitating, they had attracted the attention of Master Feng, frowned two white eyebrows, and walked towards this side with their hands behind their backs.

Yue Peng noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly urged Gao Fei and Jiang Feng in a low voice: "Don't dawdle, drink it quickly! If you anger the master, I will be kicked out too!"

Jiang Feng glanced at the holy water bottle, turned his face away in pain, and asked Gao Fei through the private chat channel of the star chart:

"I can't drink this broken thing, what should I do!"

"I can't drink it either... or forget it, I'm too lazy to act with that charlatan, just flip the table and start fighting!"

Gao Fei gritted his teeth and was fierce.

"Okay!" When she heard that there was going to be a fight, Jiang Nvxia immediately became energetic, "I'll go first, you cover! Don't be too exaggerated, lest your cousin get suspicious!"

"No problem."

Just after the two finished discussing, Master Feng had already approached them, looking unhappy.

"You two are new here, right? Do you know the rules?"

"Master, you haven't even drunk the holy water yet, so how can we, the juniors, drink first? Why don't you drink first?"

Jiang Feng smiled and handed two bottles of holy water with the corks opened to Master Feng.

"Little girl, you dare to be so rude to me, you are so brave!"

Master Feng frowned and was about to ask the guards to expel Jiang Feng and Gao Fei.

"Oh! Master, you are really surprised by what you have never seen before. This is just the beginning. Next, I will prick your butt with a knife to open your eyes and let you know what true audacity is!"

Jiang Feng put away his smile, suddenly waved his hand, and splashed both bottles of cow urine on Master Feng's face.

Everyone in the courtyard, including Yue Peng, was shocked to see this scene.
