Chapter 838: Destroying the Den
"In addition, we still lack the strength to develop our strength on the side of the Sanctuary Continent, firstly, the control of the church over there is very great, and secondly, the art of fooling the people, we are not as good as the people of the church, and it is easy to be exposed, if the other party is a little vigilant, it will be difficult for us to succeed, and it will also expose the people who are already lurking over there. After Chu Xian finished speaking, Yang Zhenqing thought about it as well.
The most important thing is that on the side of the Holy Dynasty, there is no 'attraction' to the people at the bottom like the church, the immortal path is strong, but it requires talent, exercises, and long-term focused cultivation, which not everyone can do, and the immortal road pays attention to 'diligence', but on the church side, as long as you believe in it, then everything is fine.
To gain strength, you don't need to give, you just believe, to drive away the pain, you don't need to work hard, you just need to believe, so this kind of 'laziness' will attract many people to join it.
But to say that the church is really so good, don't want anything? That's also nonsense, it is said that the wealth of the Sacred Domain Church through the Xia Dynasty has reached an astonishing number, with influence, the church will participate in all kinds of industries, clothing, food, housing and transportation, can be involved, as a believer, the 'gift' of the Holy Lord, can you not want it?
From the very beginning of contact, to now, the Shoufu Pavilion has almost figured out the path of the Sacred Domain Church, which is amiable and kind to others on the surface, but in fact it is developing believers and expanding its influence.
And this kind of thing that can shake the foundation of the country is certainly not allowed.
Of course, in addition to not allowing the Church of the Holy Land to preach and preach in the Holy Prefecture, commerce and trade have flourished, and now there are fleets entering and leaving the port every day, and it is very lively.
There is a county town south of the East China Sea, a common man looked around, obviously on guard against something, waited into an alley, walked a few steps quickly to the depths of the alley, and then looked back like a thief, and saw that no one followed, so he knocked on the door quietly.
Someone on the other side of the door asked, and the people hurriedly said, "Praise the Holy One!"
As if the code was right, the door opened, and a tall man opened the door and let the people in, of course, before coming in, he looked each other up and down carefully.
The courtyard was very clean, there was a big room in front, and there was a person standing at the door, this person was obviously not from Shenzhou, but a blond-haired and blue-eyed Sanctuary.
This Sanctuary man was dressed in church clothes, with a kind smile on his face, and when he saw this people, he obviously recognized each other.
"Praise the Sage, Zhang, what's going on? You're late today. The missionary of the Holy Land said at this time, and at the same time performed a special church etiquette, and the people known as 'Zhang' smiled innocently and responded with a lower level of etiquette: "Priest Hans, there is indeed something wrong today, but it is not too late, at least half of the prayer meeting can be attended." ”
The missionary named Hans nodded: "Then go in, be quiet, and don't disturb the others." ”
The man nodded, and walked into the house cautiously.
This room is very large, at the moment it is not the usual appearance of the Holy Dynasty, but has been transformed into a small church, the decoration is quite simple, on the front wall is the statue of the Holy Domain, there is a priest of the Holy Land is kneeling in front of the statue, praying sincerely, and behind, there are more than a dozen local people.
Obviously, these people have already entered the church and secretly believe in the saints of this church, including the 'Zhang' who came in later.
After entering the room, Zhang knelt down at the end and secretly looked around.
On the wall of this room, there is a suit of armor.
The armor looked ordinary, and it wasn't beautiful, and there were many places on it that were worn, and in some places, there were even traces of swords.
Just as 'Zhang' turned his head to look, a tall figure appeared behind him.
'Zhang' was stunned for a moment, obviously he felt something, and hurriedly looked back, and found that there was an extremely strong Sanctuary man standing behind him, the latter was more than a head taller than him, staring at 'Zhang' at the moment, with an unkind face, and the next moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed it, and said at the same time: "You are not Zhang, who are you?"
'Zhang' also reacted immediately, hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time punched out, and went straight to the door of the Sanctuary man. It stands to reason that with the size of the Sanctuary man, it can be said that it is easy to deal with 'Zhang', who is shorter than him, but with this punch, the Sanctuary man was actually beaten and fell on his heels.
The fake 'Zhang' also knew that he had been exposed, and when he rushed out of the courtyard at this moment, he was about to take out a paper crane from his arms and release it, but at this time, the priest at the door also rushed over to do it, but obviously, 'Zhang' was a martial artist, and his cultivation was not bad, even if the Sanctuary was strong, he could not match the power of the martial artist.
Just when the priest was entangled, Zhang didn't have time to release the paper crane.
At this time, the people of the Sacred Domain who were knocked down by Zhang at the beginning suddenly roared, and then the armor hanging on the wall in the room suddenly flew one by one, like a spirit bird, and then, click, click, automatically put on the strong man.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this strong man is a suit of armor, and his momentum is completely different from before, like two people.
"Steel-armored warrior!" 'Zhang's eyes shrank, and the other party had already rushed over, and the speed was more than twice as fast as before.
This time, Zhang also punched out, and the opposite steel armor was also a punch, the fists were opposite, and they collided together, this time, the steel armor warrior did not move at all, but Zhang spewed blood and fell out.
His fist had been somewhat deformed, and it was clear that this punch had almost wiped out his hand.
Wearing steel armor and not wearing steel armor, it's like two people.
However, although Zhang was seriously injured by the blood spurt, he still released the paper crane at the last moment.
"Arrest this person, and don't leak the news. After the Steel-Armored Warrior finished speaking, he just wanted to step forward, when several figures jumped in outside.
These people are all wearing official clothes, and they are obviously masters of the government.
It's just that even if there is only one steel-armored warrior in this church's stronghold, it is not something that ordinary masters can deal with, but fortunately, since the people in the government can already target this stronghold, they are naturally prepared.
waited until several innate masters encircled and suppressed together, and finally eliminated this stronghold.
The same thing happened in dozens of other different counties, and even villages.
Obviously, on the surface, the church did not enter the Holy Pilgrimage, but behind the scenes, it secretly infiltrated, and the scale was not small, the Holy Pilgrimage was acting at the same time, and overnight, more than 100 thieves were killed, more than 200 missionaries of the Holy Land were captured, and dozens of steel-armored warriors were captured.
These steel-armored warriors are indeed powerful, and they don't need to be like the Holy Dynasty warriors who need to cultivate their external and internal skills for a long time, that is an ordinary person, but as long as they are recognized by the steel armor in a short period of time and master the means of using the steel armor, then they can directly fight against the innate level martial artists.
An acquired level martial artist is simply vulnerable in front of the steel-armored warriors.
This is the advantage of the strong on the Sanctuary side.
Of course, so many people were arrested and so many people were killed, just to deterrence, but what made the local government helpless was that many people who had already believed in the Holy Domain Church actually collectively asked the government to release those Holy Domain priests after that.
To deal with outsiders, the government can use force, but for its own people, it is not easy to get it, and the most troublesome thing is that the number of these people is quite large, adding up, close to 10,000.
There are at least a few hundred believers in every county government, which is indeed not a small number, and these people are 'deeply poisoned', no matter how much they dissuade them, they just don't believe and don't listen, and they only think that their own government is deceiving them and is 'fooling the people'.
Gyeongju.
On Chu Xian's table was the news of the Cave Candle Division, this time the operation against the Holy Domain to infiltrate the church was obviously led by the Cave Candle Division, and it could be said that it was very successful, but the problem was those people.
According to the Cave Candle Division, after these people joined the council, they came into contact with some 'new' ideas, and they thought that the rule of the Holy Dynasty was unreasonable, in short, for various reasons, for example, the people everywhere were constrained by the government, and the government side had been the center of local power for thousands of years, and would not 'listen' to the opinions of their people, whether it was the appointment of a decree or anything.
The Church of the Sacred Domain advocated that there would be no such thing on their side of the Sacred Domain, saying that their people could participate in the formulation of local government decrees, in short, all kinds of good.
The people of the Holy Dynasty are simple, and they have never really been to the Sacred Continent thousands of miles away, so they believe what people say, and they are convinced.
"It's no wonder that in just one year, the Xia Dynasty has become like that, this Sacred Domain Church is really harmful, full of nonsense. Chu Xian slammed the notebook in his hand on the table.
The Holy Domain Church does not respect the order and enters the Holy Dynasty to preach and preach without authorization, this matter must not be tolerated, otherwise the other party will definitely gain an inch.
Thinking of this, Chu Xian summoned several core figures of the Shoufu Pavilion to exchange opinions with each other, and then an order was issued.
The trial of the crimes of the priests of the Holy Land was held in the local government office.
Kill what should be killed, and kill what should be done.
In fact, Chu Xian knew that if according to the laws of the Holy Dynasty, this kind of demagogic foreign religion would definitely be killed. But let's go through the normal rules first, so as not to make people find fault.
Naturally, this is done for the sake of deterrence.
It not only shocked the Holy Domain Church, but also shocked the people of Shenzhou, as for those people who are obsessed and unenlightened, according to Chu Xian's meaning, first advise, of course, before that, the Shoufu Pavilion will directly implement the order, listing the Holy Domain Church as the 'Evil Demon Outer Dao', naturally, when the time comes, there will be people who are in the company of this evil Demon Outer Dao, and even blindly believe in it without distinguishing between right and wrong, then it can only be in accordance with the law, and if it violates the criminal law, it will be killed.
At this point, Chu Xian will not have the slightest 'concession'.
