Chapter 685: Full of Flaws!

After observing for a period of time, Bai Ran's eyes widened and he murmured: "It turns out that gods really exist in this world..."

"Don't think about it, there can't be gods in this world." Fang Yu said lightly.

Fang Yu knew that Bai Ran had been shocked by the so-called divine object in front of him, but he did not explain too much.

The reason why he said so firmly that there are no gods in the world actually stems from a very simple point of view.

In the past, the concept of gods did not exist in the world of immortality. Immortals were the highest symbols of the world of immortality.

When you reach the realm of immortals, you will be forced to leave this world.

A being as powerful as an immortal cannot resist the laws of heaven and earth, so he must ascend. So why do the so-called gods...if they really have the ability to see into the world, still stay in the world?

On the other hand... if a god has not reached the level of an immortal, how can he be called a god?

Immortals are immortals, and mythical beasts are mythical beasts.

People called gods only exist in fictional or fabricated stories.

God is a false proposition.

It is just a term created by some people in the past two thousand years to achieve a certain purpose.

For example, the statue of the Sand God in front of you.

"But..." Bai Ran looked at Fang Yu and hesitated to speak.

At first he thought it was a show of force, but after some observation, he rejected his previous thoughts.

The strangeness of the statue before me is difficult to explain.

"Have you noticed the difference in the number of people who have received gifts and those who have not received gifts after observing them for so long?" Fang Yu asked.

After hearing this question, Bai Ran thought for a while and replied: "The ratio between the two is probably one to four or one to five?"

"Have you ever thought about why this is happening?" Fang Yu asked.

Bai Ran thought for a while and somewhat understood what Fang Yu meant, but still said: "But even if there are more people who have not received the gift... it does not prove that this is false... because those who have received the gift seem to have received it." I got the item I wanted most..."

"Why do you think they got the items they wanted?" Fang Yu asked with a raised brow.

"Because their expressions are all very happy..." At this point, Bai Ran's face changed slightly, and he understood what Fang Yu meant, and asked, "Mr. Fang... you mean... the happiness of those who have received the gift, Is it disguised?"

Fang Yu nodded, shook his head, and said, "A small part is staged, and most of it is real."

"A small amount? But...I don't understand." Bai Ran said.

"The few people I'm talking about...are referring to the few people at the beginning." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "The expressions of most people after that, either happy or disappointed, are all real."

The more Bai Ran listened, the more confused she became, her face dull.

Seeing his appearance, Fang Yu used his spiritual consciousness to explain to him in detail.

In fact, the sacrificial ceremony in front of them was an obvious scam.

According to Fang Yu's speculation, the so-called sacrificial ceremony. In fact, it was the Yuan family, the Fu family, and the Cheng family who appeared later, who joined forces with the Shashen Temple to organize a large-scale money-making activity.

The heads of these three families were the first three groups to step forward to offer tributes.

Their purpose in doing this is to use their status to take the lead for those behind them, and it also has a psychological implication.

Even the heads of the three top aristocratic families of the Yuan family, the Fu family and the Cheng family knelt down and worshiped the statue of the Sand God so devoutly. Naturally, no one would doubt the authenticity of the Sand God.

The items dropped from the hands of the Sand God statue are actually a simple storage spell.

In other words, the hands of the Sand God statue are actually a small storage space!

All items fell out of the storage space!

Whether items are dropped depends on what the wisher wants.

Fang Yu had noticed before that a small magic circle was arranged on the ground in front of the stone platform at the foot of the statue.

Although he did not detect it carefully, Fang Yu was sure that the function of this magic circle was probably to invade the mind of the person who walked into the magic circle, so as to know what this person was thinking.

In this way, you can know what items the person making the wish wants.

After you know what item you want, check the storage space to see if there is an item that meets the wisher's wishes.

If it exists, it will selectively drop items that match the wishes of the wisher. Items with low value will be dropped, while items with high value will not be dropped.

If it does not exist, nothing will be dropped.

The control of items in the storage space should belong to the goddess Qin Yao who is currently floating in the air and has been ignored by everyone!

Therefore, after the heads of the three families, the emotions shown by those who got the items and those who did not get the items are real.

As for the items in the storage space, where do they come from?

Obviously, it was collected from the last sacrificial ceremony three years ago!

After thinking about these points, the group of pious-looking people in front of them seemed particularly ridiculous.

They never imagined that everything in front of them was just a huge scam!

This is a super scam created by the Yuan family, the Fu family, the Cheng family, and the top three families in Xidu, united!

"But Mr. Fang... these three families are all top aristocratic families, why do they still do this kind of thing? Just for some tributes... they don't need to take such risks..." Bai Ran, who listened to Fang Yu's explanation, was shocked. A little dizzy, he muttered.

"Just some tributes? Didn't you see that the representatives of other families took out the most precious magic weapons, elixirs or other items in their families as tributes?" Fang Yu said lightly, "It is held once every three years, and so many rare treasures can be deceived into their hands... What a huge wealth is this?"

"In this process, one rises while the other falls. The gap with other families is far widened by this scam."

"The three families don't need to pay anything, they just need to perform a play every three years, and then return some scraps collected through the scam to maintain this scam."

"In this way, the three families can stand at the top of the Western Capital forever, and no one can surpass them. Even if the scam is exposed later, other families will not have the capital to fight with them."

After listening to what Fang Yu said, Bai Ran was stunned and speechless for a while.

The sacrificial ceremony... turned out to be such a scam!

Just now, even he almost believed it!

Twenty years ago, he fell into Yi Duanliu's trap because he was too simple and straightforward, and was trapped for many years.

Today, he felt the horror of conspiracy again!

And Yi Duanliu's treachery, compared with the scam that deceived all the Xidu families, seemed to be insignificant!

"Another point, after yesterday and today's observation, I didn't find that the Sand God Temple had any special strength." Fang Yu said, "But the reputation of the Sand God Temple in Xidu is extremely loud, and no family dares to offend it... Can you guess why?"

"... It was the Yuan family, the Fu family, and the Cheng family who created momentum through public opinion, and pretended to be respectful... They jointly pushed the Sand God Temple to the altar..." Bai Ran swallowed his saliva and said.

"That's right, the Sand God Temple is the product of the three families working together, and it is also their other spokesperson in Xidu." Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.

After the two talked, Fang Yu looked at the excited crowd below and shook his head slightly.

No wonder so many people came to watch the sacrificial ceremony...

These onlookers will become free publicity tools for the Sand God Temple after today.

Fang Yu looked at the couples of the Yuan and Fu families standing not far away, smiling and talking in low voices, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The reason why he could see through this scam so easily, in addition to some empirical analysis, was that the performances of these three families had many flaws.

Such flaws may be difficult for most people to detect. But in front of Fang Yu, who has lived for nearly five thousand years and has seen all kinds of people, it is quite obvious.

To be honest, even if it is not Fang Yu, a slightly smarter and more alert outsider can see that there are many flaws in the so-called sacrificial ceremony in front of him.

But the representatives of the aristocratic families present are individuals in a public opinion environment like Xidu. They will have a herd mentality, thus ignoring some flaws, or turning a blind eye to them.

"But if the sacrificial ceremony in front of us is just a scam... why did the people from the Sand God Temple take Ling'er away?" Fang Yu suddenly thought of this and frowned.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out among the crowd watching the battle in the distance!

Several extremely powerful auras rushed towards the statue on the stone platform!
