The three of them were just about to leave from the alley, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs on the street, and then the street, which was originally full of people and lifeless, exploded all at once!

Walking out of the alley, Wang Xian saw the crowd of people who were originally coming and going, and all of them suddenly chased the sound of the gong and rushed in one direction.

Wang Xian grabbed a descendant and asked, "Dare to ask, what are you doing here?" ”

Seeing him speak with a foreign accent, the latter looked at him and said impatiently: "The incense lord has preached!" Let me go, I won't be in line when it's too late! ”

"What are you doing in line?" Lingxiao asked.

"Receive alms." After the latter finished speaking, he tried his best to break free from Wang Xian. But after taking a few steps, he remembered something again, and turned his head to stare at Wang Xian, Wang Xian looked back at him, but the latter quickly turned back and merged into the crowd.

"Let's take a look, too." Wang Xian didn't care, and followed closely with his second daughter.

"Where have you been?!" Zhou Yong and the others were originally following Wang Xian, but at this time, the crowd was surging, and they couldn't find the target when they landed......

Wang Xian followed the crowd and arrived at a courtyard, which was already crowded with believers who had come to listen to the lecture, and there was a continuous influx of people.

But in the courtyard, there is no chaos, one is that there are more than a dozen big men to maintain order, and the other is that on the north platform of the courtyard, the smiling Maitreya Buddha statue seems to have a strong magic power, so that the believers obediently bow and worship, and no one dares to crowd. Of course, the magic is still possible, from the dozen or so large baskets on the platform, full of golden cakes......

Wang Xian and Lingxiao have had the experience of listening to lectures once, and Gu Xiaolian is a former White Lotus Saintess...... Of course, this saint is from Shanxi, and the believers in Shandong do not know her. The three of them all knew what to do at this time, and they didn't hide in the crowd.

When the believers were all in place, a Shandong man in his forties, wearing a straight shirt and a robe, looked a little nondescript, stood on the high platform, first incense the Maitreya Buddha statue, and then led the believers to kowtow to the Buddha statue. Then he began to chant the scriptures, reciting the scriptures of the White Lotus Sect, which was not much different from what Wang Xian heard in Yuncheng in the winter of last year. In other words, there is a supreme goddess in the world, called the 'Childless Mother', who created the universe and mankind, and at the same time saved the descendants who had sunk in the sea of suffering, and sent Maitreya Buddha down to save all sentient beings.

That's why the 'motherless mothers' on the lintels of those shops come from. As for the 'vacuum home', it is the place where the childless mother lives, which is the birthplace and final destination of human beings, which is equivalent to the Western Elysium of Buddhism. The scriptures say that once people return home, they will enjoy the beauty of heaven, without life or death, and will be happy and happy. But the world has been lost and can't find a way home, so they will suffer in this earthly world, and only by hurrying to 'participate in the path of non-action and know the vacuum Dafa', so that they can return to their vacuum hometown under the guidance of Maitreya Buddha!

The scriptures are simple and straightforward, full of temptation, and use great space to render the beauty of the 'vacuum hometown', and the believers who listen to it are fascinated, and think of the sinking sea of misery now, and a lot of people burst into tears, crying so much that they beat their chests!

When the scriptures were finished, the middle-aged man smiled and accepted everyone's kneeling thanks and asked, "Fellow believers, if you have any questions about today's Buddhism, just talk to the Lord of the incense, and we will refer to it together." ”

Immediately, someone got up and asked, when will Maitreya appear and lead them to the vacuum home?!

"This is a heavenly opportunity, it should not be leaked," the incense lord said in a deep voice: "But my Buddha is merciful, and the Lord of Toben incense tells everyone that the day of Maitreya's present life is not far away!" ”

"Whew! That's great! The crowd erupted in loud cheers.

"Lord Incense," when the cheers had subsided, someone timidly asked, "I heard that the Buddha Mother has been born, is that the case?" ”

The believers were obviously very concerned about this issue, and everyone echoed it: "Yes, Lord Xiang, I heard that the Buddha Mother preached in Jiaodong, and she also made a great deal of power and burned down the three major halls of the emperor Lao'er!" ”

"Lord of incense, the Buddha mother is the lifeless old mother, right?" Another person asked loudly, which caused a burst of exclamations, and the people all blushed with excitement, in their minds, it must be like this! Mother Buddha came to save them! Will the day when everyone return to their vacuum hometown be far away?

The atmosphere in the venue was close to boiling, but the incense master on the stage looked quite unnatural. Wang Xian stared at his expression, and saw his lips move a few times, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and couldn't help but feel surprised!

Finally, the incense lord spoke, only to hear him say in a trembling voice: "That Buddha mother is not a childless old mother......

With a buzz, everyone froze, looked at the incense master in disbelief, and listened to him continue: "The lifeless old mother has already sent Maitreya down to earth, so why bother to go in person? So the Buddha mother should not be a childless mother......"

"No, it won't!" Everyone's disappointment was overflowing, and someone asked loudly: "Mother Buddha, isn't it the mother of Maitreya Buddha?" Isn't Maitreya Buddha's mother a childless mother?! ”

"Yes! The Buddha's mother's magic power is boundless, and she can burn down the three major halls of the emperor, who is she if she is not a childless mother? ! ”

In the face of the doubts of the disciples, the incense lord turned pale and sweated like rain, and after all, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only prevaricate: "This question, wait for me to ask the hall master, please ask the hall master to ask Maitreya Buddha, and see what the Buddha says!" Then he motioned to his men to hurry up and give alms, and the puja was hastily ended!

Seeing that the incense master left in a hurry, although the believers were full of questions, they could only suppress it for the time being and began to line up to receive alms. The so-called almsgiving is the bread in those baskets, each person can receive one, and when they have received it, they leave the venue. Wang Xian and the three of them also behaved, lined up to the front of the stage, followed the example of those disciples, first erected one palm and two fingers, and the other pointed to the chest, the man who gave nodded and handed each of them a cake made of rice noodles. The three of them took the cake and left the venue.

As soon as he came out of the venue, Zhou Yong greeted him with anxious faces, and seeing that the three of them were safe and sound, Zhou Yong shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, thank God. I didn't see Wang Xian's shadow for a whole hour, but he was scared out of his body and left his seven spirits ownerless.

"Alright, don't be like a." Wang Xian helplessly looked at Zhou Yong, who had a handful of snot and tears, and surrendered: "Go back, let's go back." ”

The three of them got into the carriage and quickly left here under the escort of Zhou Yong and others.

As soon as the group left, a group of men with sharp blades and red scarves hurried over, led by the incense master who had just preached on the stage, he stared at the crowd that came out of the venue, and at the same time took out a picture of the young man on the picture, which was eight or nine points similar to Wang Xian's appearance.

But until the crowd dispersed, there was no man in sight of the figure depicted. The incense lord was very displeased, and asked the descendants beside him in a rough voice: "Where are the three people you said?" ”

That posterity was the one Wang Xian asked for directions, he scratched his head, and said a little timidly: "I watched them come in." ”

"It's not like you're dazzled, is it?" The incense master's subordinates didn't believe it: "How could he be such a big official, how could he run around the streets alone?" ”

"I saw it! He resembles the man in the portrait! The latter argued.

"What about the man? Where did you go? The bystander asked.

"Maybe let's go before we come......" the latter muttered quietly.

"Forget it!" The incense lord carried the portrait into his arms, he was worried about the matter of "Buddha Mother" and "Maitreya" at this time, and he didn't have the heart to delve into the matter, so he glared at the latter life unhappily, and then took people away. If the top management of the White Lotus Sect knew that he only had to come a little earlier, he would change the fate of the White Lotus Sect and even the general trend of the world, and he would definitely crush the ...... of this incense master.

Back in Xingyuan, Wang Xian immediately asked Zhou Dang to come in, and asked, "The boss of the White Lotus Sect, is it the Buddha Mother or Maitreya?" ”

Zhou Dang was stunned for a moment, and asked a little unanswered: "The White Lotus Sect is very tightly organized, and the branches in various places are not subordinate to each other, and each branch only recognizes its own leader. Originally, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong only recognized Lin San, and after Lin San's death, those heads and brains had their own plans, and no one obeyed anyone. The emergence of the Buddha Mother is to reunite the various forces. After a pause, he said, "As for Maitreya...... It has not yet been heard of anyone who is swaggering under the guise of Maitreya, and if there is, it should be the same purpose. After speaking, he asked Wang Xian, "My lord, where did you learn about it?" ”

"I heard it myself!" Wang Xian's face was quite ugly, and Zhou Yong hurriedly told Zhou Dang about Wang Xian's private interview and observing the White Lotus Sect assembly.

Only then did Zhou Kang understand where the yellow cake that Wang Xian had been playing with in his hand came from. I couldn't help but be ashamed: "The people under him are now tracking the Buddha Mother with all their might, and for Jinan, it is dark under the light." ”

"Hmph," Wang Xian snorted, and said a little angrily: "Jinan City is already the world of the White Lotus Sect, and you are embarrassed to say that it is dark under the lights!" Zhou dared to kneel down and pleaded guilty.

Fortunately, Wang Xian didn't mean to deal with him, and said in a deep voice: "You take this matter to heart for me, and carefully check what Maitreya is from?!" He said in a slightly softened tone: "I feel that there is something wrong with the Buddha Mother, if this is the case, it will be a great benefit to us!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Dang hurriedly responded in a deep voice: "My subordinates will go and check!" ”

"However, we still have to put the whereabouts of the Buddha Mother in the first place," Wang Xian thought about it for a while, and then instructed: "This matter must be carefully investigated, but there is no need to be too anxious." ”

"Yes." Zhou dared to respond again.

"Go ahead." Wang Xian waved his hand, and Zhou dared to retreat. When Zhou dared to leave, Wang Xian instructed Zhou Yong: "Find Lao Hu for me, let him come at night, don't be seen." ”

"Yes." Zhou Yong hurriedly responded. Lao Hu is the former Shandong Xiangma Hu Sandao, this guy is now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, this time Wang Xian came to Shandong, naturally he wanted to take this local snake. But Hu Sandao did not enter Jinan with Wang Xian, but quietly led people to follow behind, in case of emergency.
