Chapter 216: Red Lotus Fairy
>,!
Li Zheng was overjoyed, kept shouting, and his old wife hugged his head and wept again, and his son and daughter-in-law also burst into tears, but this would be a cry of joy. ↑,.
"Rizheng has eaten the locust god! It's okay! ”
"He's not dead!"
The surrounding villagers also began to talk again.
Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Lord Lizheng, locust god entrance, how does this taste?" ”
Li Zheng was overjoyed, and when he heard Xia Hongsheng ask, he immediately quickly returned to Xia Hongsheng and knelt down, and replied: "Back to the Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief's kindness, the villain is really ...... This, this locust god eats it, and the villain feels like ...... It smells like meat! ”
As soon as Li Zheng said this, the surroundings suddenly exploded again, and he looked at Li Zheng in shock. Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and signaled them to be quiet, and the people around him suddenly closed their mouths and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Li Zheng is right, it's meaty. Remember, this locust is not a locust god, but a delicacy. Not only that, if you catch the locusts and dry and grind the powder, mix it into the noodles, you can avoid night blindness and prevent qi diseases if you have a cough, the locusts are dried and ground with water, and you can stop coughing in a few days. Xia Hongsheng raised his voice and said loudly: "Now that this locust has devoured your crops, you can also eat these locusts." The locusts in the field are so large that a dozen or so can feed themselves! Satoma-sama, do you know what to do next? ”
"Hey! Got it! Got it! Xie Xian Chang pointed out! Xie Xian Chang pointed out! Li Zheng was excited, nodded vigorously, and then turned around again and waved his arms at the people around him: "Folks! Pick up the basket and go! Let's catch the locust god...... No, catch the locusts! ”
Li Zheng raised his arms and shouted, and the surrounding villagers suddenly shouted in response, one by one, they all had fighting spirit, and the defeat and despair that were still hanging on their faces yesterday were all gone. As soon as people have motivation and fighting spirit, their spirit is different. The despair of the locust plague suddenly vanished, and everyone ran back with baskets and bamboo baskets, and even the women and children rushed into the fields together.
Li Zheng led the villagers to rush to the fields to catch locusts. The crowd was excited, and they all rushed over, but there were only three Xia Hongsheng left in the courtyard.
"Miss Yuhime, I've already opened the head for you, and you'll be up to you to do the rest." Xia Hongsheng said to Youji: "After today." The name of the Red Lotus Fairy will spread, and you can send your men to destroy the locusts in various places in the name of the Red Lotus Fairy. When the people are first hit by a plague of locusts, it is a great chaos, and at this time you send people to exterminate the locusts, and in one fell swoop you can win the hearts of the people, so that the people will bow down to you, and then obey your words. Xia Hongsheng said to Youji: "The girl can take this opportunity to start a sect and establish a religion, and the act of exterminating locusts is ahead, and the people will definitely believe in it." The girl may formulate the doctrine. It was widely spread among the people and recruited the people, just like the two religions of Buddhism. In this way, the girl's momentum is established. Think about how many believers in the world are there in the two religions of Buddhism? With so many people, what does the girl want to do, can she still do it? ”
Youji, who had not yet eased up, was stunned again after listening to Xia Hongsheng's words. The pattern planned by Xia Hongsheng is so big, although it is only a few words from Xia Hongsheng's mouth, but You Ji immediately understands it in her heart. Even if it's Yuhime. was also shocked by Xia Hongsheng's handwriting. I wanted to take the opportunity to collect some popular support and advocate that Li Shimin should be punished by heaven, so that Li Shimin would lose the support of the people. But as Xia Hongsheng said, it made Youji's heart beat wildly. There are so many believers in the world. There are countless of them, if they follow what Xia Hongsheng said, and establish a religion, they will be like the Buddha, gathering believers and spreading teachings. And then...... Then it is to directly use the congregation as soldiers. So why not? By the way, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Xia Hongsheng, wasn't it the person named Zhang Jiao who used the Taiping Dao to absorb the people as believers at the beginning, and then turned to the army, taking advantage of the situation, and leading to the prelude to the decline of the Han Dynasty!
Taking a deep breath and calming his beating heart, Yuhime asked, "Childe...... Does Mr. want Youji to follow the example of the great sage and good teacher in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Mr., and create Youji's own Taiping Dao, and then rise up to make the people rebel against Li Shimin? ”
"Yes, the girl really knows it at all." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Just don't call me sir, let's call me son!" As I said, I'm not interested in your cause, I'm just helping the girl...... In that case, does the girl know what to do? If you want the people to be willing to join the religion, you need to do what they like, if they are exploited by the gentry, they will beat the gentry, if they want to make the land, they will divide the land, and if they hate the corrupt officials, they will kill the corrupt officials...... In this way, the Sect will surely respond to all calls, and there will be many followers and countless believers. ”
"The concubine understands how to handle it!" You Ji nodded, then walked up to Xia Hongsheng, looked at Xia Hongsheng fixedly, and then suddenly bowed deeply and said: "How can the concubine be virtuous, how can she be able to get the help of the son, the kindness of the child, the concubine will be rewarded in the future!" ”
"Huh." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand, and deliberately made a self-deprecating wry smile on his face: "I'm just a layman after all...... Let's go, go back. I haven't closed my eyes since yesterday morning, aren't you two tired? ”
After saying that, he walked out on his own and got into the carriage. The second daughter also hurriedly went over, got into the carriage, and left in a hurry.
By the time the villagers came back with baskets full of locusts, Xia Hongsheng and the others had already left for a long time. Everyone looked at Li Zheng, who was silent, went back to the house and took firewood out to cage the fire, and then buried the locusts in the hot ash. After a while, the people were gouged out again. picked one up and blew it vigorously several times, and under the gaze of everyone, Li Zheng took off the wings and thighs of the locust in the same way as Xia Hongsheng, twisted off the head, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Everyone held their breath, and saw that Li was chewing slowly and swallowed slowly.
Li Zheng raised his head, slowly glanced at the people who were staring at him nervously, and then said slowly: "Immortal Chang Tian'en, the fruit is meaty!" ”
After listening to Li Zheng's words, everyone looked at each other, Li Zheng's son took the lead and walked out, pinched one, picked it up after learning from Li Zheng's appearance, and then put it in his mouth to chew and swallow, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's really meaty!" ”
With the first, there will be a second and third...... Finally, all the villagers came forward to taste the locusts, and then ...... It was already in the village at dusk, and there was a cheer.
The people of a village knelt down to the sky, constantly shouting and thanking the immortals for their kindness, and Li Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh: "Not good! I forgot to ask the Immortal Elder Honor! How good is this, we have inherited a piece of immortal grace, but we can't even make an offering! How to thank the immortal?! ”
Everyone was silent at once, and they looked at each other.
"Lord Lizheng, the little one was in the field yesterday, when the fairy chief appeared, he said that the Red Lotus Fairy went down to earth and wanted to save the people, Taiqing Daode Tianzun thanked the Red Lotus Fairy for his compassion for the world, so he sent the apprentice who sat down to help the Red Lotus Fairy. At that time, the little one didn't believe it, but now that I think about it, it's the little one who is blind with dog eyes, and he doesn't know the real fairy with his eyes! ”
"Red Lotus Fairy!" Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
said that here, Xia Hongsheng and the others had already gone back to the house, and when they entered the house, Xia Hongsheng said goodbye, saying that he was sleepy, so he went straight to the small courtyard where he was under house arrest. I am very happy in my heart, the movement of the locust extermination here will definitely get bigger and bigger, and such a big movement will always attract the attention of the imperial court. Taiqing Daode Tianzun sat down, Taiqing Daode Tianzun is the old king, if Li Shimin can't even guess this codeword, then he is not the eloquent emperor in history.
Finally found an opportunity to let Li Shimin know where he had been gotten, Xia Hongsheng's heart suddenly felt a lot easier. When I went back to the house, the maid was still there, so she couldn't reveal anything, and she rested early.
As soon as they arrived in the backyard, they were told that someone was waiting for them.
When the two of them passed through the back hall, they saw a man with a mask standing there, so they hurriedly walked forward: "My lord." ”
The masked man nodded and asked, "You didn't return all night yesterday, but what happened?" ”
You Ji and You Sa glanced at each other, and then You Ji told the masked man about her life, along with what Xia Hongsheng said, word for word.
"What? You said that Xia Hongsheng only used one sentence to make all the locusts throw themselves into the fire and die?! Listening to Yuhime's retelling, the masked man asked in surprise.
You Ji nodded: "At that time, his subordinates had been closely following Xia Hongsheng every inch, even in the carriage, and they were in the same carriage at all, and I didn't see Xia Hongsheng have any other preparations." He just told the villagers to pile up firewood in the fields and light them, and then asked the villagers to beat gongs and run to drive away all the locusts in the fields, and then said that the locusts should take their own responsibility, and the locusts that had been scattered in all directions turned around and rushed into the fire! My lord, could it be that Xia Hongsheng is really an immortal?! ”
"Don't panic, I'll investigate this matter again. After Xia Hong was promoted to the court, Li Shimin issued a secret decree to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and the two left Xuanduguan in a hurry and disappeared. Now that I think about it, it may have something to do with this son. The masked man said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, he is still under our control now, he not only said that he would only help you, but also really helped us lay out such a big pattern, I think he is really interested in you...... I'll have to talk to him myself tomorrow! ”
"My lord, this son is very good-natured, I am afraid that he is deceitful, and he doesn't really care about me......" Yu Ji defended: "Besides, he has such immortal methods, why should he ......"
"Didn't he say it himself?" The masked man interrupted Yuhime, "When you thanked him, he said, 'After all, he is just a layman'." What is a layman? Everyone in the world is vulgar, after all, it is just unbearable to bear that pair of skins! (To be continued.) )
