Chapter 846: City God Arrives
The Black Lotus Sect stronghold discovered by Qin Shaoyou is next to a temporary military camp in Qingtang Weicheng.
There is no doubt that the Black Lotus Sect set up a stronghold in such a place to confuse the soldiers of Qingtangwei and develop them into believers.
After all, the concept of killing people to practice and killing people to prove the way is still very attractive to soldiers who are not disciplined enough and regard killing good people as commonplace.
In particular, these soldiers also know that it is not a good thing to kill good people and pretend to be meritorious. After death, they may go to hell and suffer the punishment of knives and fire.
When they kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, they often tell the victims that they have to do this under the orders of the superiors, and if they have any grudges, go to the superiors, not them.
But in fact, they all understand that these words are just deception.
They killed people, cut off their heads, and brought rewards to play with. They couldn't escape the cause and effect of killing people and pretending to be meritorious.
Under such circumstances, someone suddenly told them that killing people is not only not at fault, but also a meritorious deed, cleaning up the greed and ugliness in the world.
They can not only practice by killing people, but once they kill more people, they can also prove the status of Arhat, Bodhisattva and even Buddha.
Even if you die, you can go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and as many people as you kill, you can enjoy the service of as many goddesses and concubines.
Under such circumstances, even if they knew that the Black Lotus Sect was designated as a cult by the court, they still couldn't help but get in touch with it, and then indulged in it.
At this moment, in this Black Lotus Sect stronghold next to the barracks, another group of soldiers who have just been developed into the Sect, under the leadership of a few 'senior', accepted the baptism and transmission of the Dharma from a Black Lotus Sect Arhat.
In front of these soldiers is an incense table made of human bones. On the desk is a black lotus Buddha statue with countless dead bones on its feet, half of its face is angry, and half of its face is compassionate.
Among the newly recruited soldiers, there are a few who are hesitant. After all, the Black Lotus Sect is a well-known cult. Once they join the sect, if they are accidentally discovered, they will die.
Seeing this, the Arhat of the Black Lotus Sect opened his arms and bewitched, "It's all here, what are you still hesitating about? After joining my Black Lotus Sect, the bad things you did in the past and those beloved people you killed will no longer be evil." Debt, but merit. Why do you think the court listed my Black Lotus Sect as a cult? Isn’t it because we have touched the interests of those high and noble people! I don’t bother to say extra words. Whether to go to hell or to Buddha Country. Whether to attain Arhat or Bodhisattva status, or to be Qiu Ba for the rest of your life, you make up your own mind, we don’t force it.”
He said he didn't force it, but in fact, this Arhat of the Black Lotus Sect secretly winked at the followers of the Black Lotus Sect here.
These Black Lotus Sect believers immediately sneaked behind the group of soldiers. Once they repented and did not want to join the sect, they would kill them with their hands, and they could not waste their merits.
This team of soldiers, either noticed the situation behind them, or were afraid that they would really go to hell after death, so they might as well give it a go, and knelt down in front of the black lotus statue.
One of them was still chanting words: "Blessed by the Black Lotus Buddha, we will be able to attain the right fruit as soon as possible. Even if we can't become Arhats or Bodhisattvas, we can still go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss to enjoy happiness..."
Before he finished his prayer, he heard a voice ringing in his ears:
"Isn't this a coincidence? We will send you to the west now."
This man was overjoyed, thinking that he was the one who was destined to attract the appearance of the Black Lotus Buddha, but before he kowtowed to thank him, he heard the Black Lotus believers here roaring, shouting and shouting, and then realized something was wrong .
He turned his head and looked, there was no black lotus Buddha appearing, only a group of red-clothed emissaries like wolves and tigers climbed over the courtyard wall and rushed towards them.
The black lotus Buddha statue they worshiped was smashed to pieces by a demon hammer in the first time...
Outside the stronghold, the soldiers who were sent to assist in the hunt for the Qingtang wizard did not enter the courtyard, but were arranged to guard outside the courtyard to prevent the monsters from the Black Lotus Sect from escaping.
Hearing the sound of 'fierce' fighting coming from the yard, they couldn't help swallowing, and whispered:
"It's so intense inside!"
"It seems that the Black Lotus Sect monster hidden here is very powerful!"
"Fortunately, those red-clothed emissaries didn't let us in..."
After a 'fierce battle', there was finally no movement in the yard.
The soldiers guarding outside, not only did not feel relieved by this, but became even more nervous.
Because they don't know what's going on in the yard. Did the red envoy win, or did the Black Lotus Cult kill them?
Fortunately, soon, a red-clothed emissary covered in blood came out of the yard and greeted them: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and wash the ground. The Black Lotus Sect monsters have all been wiped out. Go and kill them." The dead bodies were burned and buried with pine and cypress branches. You can’t kill the enemy, so it’s okay to make these sundries, right?”
These soldiers saw that he was looking like a god, and dared not refuse, they hurriedly took orders and entered the yard, and saw a scene after a fierce battle, and there was a pile of corpses lying on the ground, among them were people they knew, they couldn't help but It was shocking and frightening.
Looking at the red-clothed emissary, although no one was killed, everyone was wounded.
Some soldiers couldn't help asking: "My lord, are you all right?"
The red-clothed emissary waved his hand.
"It's okay. Although these monsters of the Black Lotus Sect are average in strength, their spells are quite weird. Moreover, there are trap circles and spiritual items in the place where they hide, which caused us to suffer some minor injuries."
The soldier looked at the 'injury' on his body, didn't dare to say much, but whispered in his heart: "You call this a minor injury? It seems that the red-clothed emissary is also a person who likes to brag and save face..."
The battle to cull the Black Lotus Sect monster was quickly reported to Dongchuanhou.
"Dog eats dog and that's how it starts."
The corners of Dongchuanhou's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a complacent smile, but soon frowned again.
"Did the Black Lotus Sect develop followers into the military camp? Such a thing must be guarded against. Otherwise, in the future, will these soldiers listen to me or the Black Lotus Sect? Forget it, wait until the red envoy is bitten again." It’s best to kill a few people, and then I will wipe out the Black Lotus Sect, and I can also use the name of helping the red envoy to avenge the red envoy, so that the red envoy and Lu Bing have to remember my feelings and thank me.”
Dongchuanhou thought he had everything in his hands, but he didn't know that he was the one being plotted against.
But Qin Shaoyou and the others, although they succeeded in scheming Dongchuan Hou, were not too excited.
Because they still haven't found the ghost of the Qingtang wizard, nor have they found any suspicious babies or fetuses.
And just when they were having a headache about this matter, things finally ushered in a turning point.
Cai Guizhong rushed to Qingtang Weicheng with the gang of ghosts and ghosts from the Town God's Temple in Mianyuan County.
They are experts at finding spirits and investigating newborns and those about to be born.
