Chapter 307 Taoist Priest Xizu's Persuasion
Fengze County Yamen
The lawyer stood aside and carefully glanced at the county magistrate who had a sullen face.
The county magistrate is named Liu Shao, who is in his thirties. He is a hidden member of the Liu family (the Liu family of Liu Yuzhu) and a loyal believer of Wuwang.
Naturally, he himself did not worship Wuwang, nor had his luck been taken away, otherwise he would not have been able to become an official. He was just a loyal member of Wuwang's party.
Because the Liu family was exiled, he hated Lu Jingmo.
He was able to come here to serve as the county magistrate without any reason and without any special purpose.
Just let him keep an eye on this county and prevent anything from happening. After all, this is where part of his luck comes from.
"Master, you said that the people are a little scared and want to compromise?"
The master listened to the cold voice and lowered his head to his chest, but still said, "Yes!"
"Bang!" Liu Shao slapped the table, "A bunch of idiots who don't know what's good for them. Are they going to be ungrateful?"
"If Master Wuwang hadn't saved their ancestors a hundred years ago, they would have been burned to ashes by the previous emperor. How could they exist?"
He walked around the room several times, still speaking angrily, "For so many years, Master Wuwang has been protecting them from diseases, but they were actually frightened by a few thunderbolts. How foolish!"
The master echoed and said repeatedly, "Yes, they are all a bunch of stupid fools."
Liu Shao sat down again, stroking the armrest of the chair with a gloomy face. Then, as if he was thinking of something, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Jingmo, even if you pass through Fengze County, Master Wuwang has five thousand puppet troops in the capital.
No matter how powerful your Qilin Guards are, they are still mortal bodies. How can they compete with an army of puppets made of solid iron?
Lu Jingmo, the moment you set foot in the capital, that will be the day of your death.
"Master, withdraw the bailiffs from the tower. We should not be involved in this matter."
The lawyer responded as if he had been pardoned. He trotted out after responding. As soon as he went out, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to secretly glance at the county government office.
He pouted quietly, "You running dog, when the Duke comes in, you'll be the first to die."
A man on the tower pointed down and said, "Hey, a Taoist priest and two Qilin Guards are coming over."
"What do they want?"
"Are they going to attack the city?"
"Are you stupid? There are only three people coming to attack the city?"
At this moment, the lawyer also ran to the top of the city wall, whispered something in the ear of a yamen runner, and then looked down at the bottom of the city wall, wondering what they were doing there.
After receiving the message from the legal advisor, the yamen runner spoke secretly to the other yamen runners. Then, more than 40 yamen runners went down the city wall without the people noticing.
Taoist Priest Xizu came to the bottom of the city wall and stood still. He looked up, then turned back and took Miss Lu Yu's loud speaker from the Qilin Guard who came to protect him.
Facing the trumpet, he said: "I am a cultivator, I know why everyone is so resistant to the Duke, it's nothing more than fearing that betraying Wuwang will be attacked by the disease."
"If I promise you that even if you are attacked and afflicted with diseases, nothing will happen to you, are you willing to submit?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people on the city wall felt as if their acupoints were pressed.
What is he saying?
Even if there is backlash and illness, nothing will happen?
is it possible?
They have seen many people die from diseases after their offerings to them stopped.
An old man who looked to be in his seventies was originally sitting on the ground leaning against the city wall. When he heard Taoist Master Xizu's words, infinite hope emerged in his eyes.
His family had a little great-grandson, and there was no plan for him to worship Master Wuwang since he was born. However, when the little great-grandson was two years old, he fell seriously ill.
After spending all the money in the house, there was no improvement, so in the end they had no choice but to let him worship Master Wuwang.
After three days of offering sacrifices, the little great-grandson's condition improved. From then on, the offerings continued.
Master Wuwang saved his great-grandson's life, and he was grateful. However, his great-grandson, who had a talent for studying, encountered unexpected problems in exams every time and was unable to make further progress, which made the whole family very anxious.
He wanted to ask his great-grandson to stop offering him tribute countless times, but he did not dare to say it, for fear that his grandson would lose his life.
Now that someone has told them that nothing will happen even if they are hit back, the hope in their hearts has been infinitely magnified.
He wanted to give it a try.
He stood up with his somewhat weak body, and saw the Taoist priest below with his cloudy eyes. He felt that hope was greater.
Master Wuwang is a Buddhist. Although Taoists are not Buddhists, they are as capable as Buddhists.
He leaned against the wall, leaned out and shouted with all his strength: "Master, can you heal me?"
There was silence on the city wall after Taoist Master Xizu's shouting just now. He thought that no one believed him.
If someone asks this question, he will naturally answer it positively.
He pointed at the loudspeaker and said, "Old man, I am just a Taoist priest and cannot heal illnesses.
But the reason why you don’t get sick is because you have magic on you, and I am naturally using magic to eliminate the backlash on you.”
The old man felt relieved when he heard that he would use magic to eliminate the backlash instead of curing the disease.
The sound of the horn was so loud that not only the people on the city wall could hear it, but also the people inside the city. Many people burst into tears unconsciously.
Then there was the party.
Some excited people rushed directly to the city gate, opened it, rushed out, and knelt down to Taoist Priest Xixu.
"I am willing to surrender."
"We are also willing to surrender."
"And we..."
Taoist Master Xizu felt relieved when he saw the people pouring out.
But there are still some things that need to be said first, so he took out the loudspeaker and said, "Everyone, don't get excited yet. I still have something to say."
The people instantly quieted down again, feeling a little uneasy, fearing that he would have other requests.
"I can only cure the diseases that you have suffered as a result of the backlash. For the diseases that arise naturally after this, you will need to see a doctor."
"That is to say, after the backlash is eliminated, you will be the same as ordinary people."
"Master, have you finished speaking? Do you have anything to add?" A commoner at the front asked carefully.
"No, that's all."
As soon as Taoist Priest Xizu finished speaking, the people began to cheer.
What?! I just became like everyone else! Isn't this how it should be?
I thought the Taoist priest had other requests.
After the cheers, someone asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
After this question was asked, the others who were still excited also quieted down.
Taoist Priest Xizu: "First, stop offerings, wait for the backlash to come, and then eliminate it."
When the people heard this, although they were somewhat afraid of the backlash, they nodded secretly, thinking that if they wanted to eliminate it, they must first be backlashed.
Most people understand and believe it in their hearts.
But a small number of people are worried, what if there is a backlash and he has no way to eliminate it?
This concern was raised and spread among the people, and even those who originally believed became worried.
