The two maids said "yes", and then helped Qin Shuhuai to the side of the bed, Liu Yan put the quilt on the bed to the side, and then pressed the mechanism somewhere, only to hear the sound of "click", the bed board suddenly sank, revealing the entrance of a bottom passage, there was a smooth wooden board at the entrance, the two maids gently put Qin Shuhuai on the wooden board, and he slowly slid down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Below, a man answered, picked up Qin Shuhuai and ran forward. His steps were light, but his gait was fast, and he was clearly a man of great skill.

Qin Shuhuai secretly opened his eyes behind him, silently remembered the route, and ran for about half an hour before leaving the tunnel. There was a big sedan chair at the exit of the tunnel, and after they stuffed Qin Shuhuai into the sedan chair, they ran up again.

After half an hour, the sedan chair finally stopped. Qin Shuhuai looked through the gap in the sedan curtain and found that there was a wilderness outside. But there was a fire in the wilderness, and there was a crowd of people, as if some kind of assembly was being held.

The western suburbs outside Tianjin.

It was a private manor house, and it was surrounded by dense woods, with only a large clearing in the middle of the woods. Above the clearing, there are two rows of tall stone pillars, carved with quaint totems and intricate inscriptions. Each stone pillar is nearly ten meters high and more than one meter in diameter, which looks extremely majestic. Between the stone pillars are blood-red lanterns, and it is said to be blood-red, not only because its outer cover is blood-red, but also because its flames are red in color, and it is not known what fuel is used.

In the middle of the two rows of stone pillars is a straight road paved with bluestone, about 300 meters long, on which there are about hundreds of people dressed in white lined up in two long rows, solemnly as if waiting for something.

At the end of the straight, there is a stone chair carved out of natural boulders. The stone chair is about three meters wide, the seat is one meter high, the back of the chair is three meters high, and there are several ancient mythical beasts carved on it, all of which are fierce and vicious, lifelike, and extremely shocking.

After the person carrying the sedan chair put down Qin Shuhuai, he stood in the middle of the crowd. And Liu Yan and the two maids also stood in the front row of the line. No one spoke in the whole scene, and everyone waited solemnly.

The bright moon is in the sky, the red light is everywhere, the white clothes are lined up, and the atmosphere is extremely weird.

Qin Shuhuai stayed quietly in the sedan chair, watching everything outside with bated breath through the sedan curtain.

After a while, I saw a white shadow floating in the distance, and then it fell on the stone chair, and the body was extremely light, like a god descending to earth.

Everyone immediately knelt down in unison and shouted in unison.

"The silt comes from the chaos of enlightenment, and the white lotus is prosperous. Greetings to the Great Elder. ”

Qin Shuhuai was slightly startled when he heard this, and said secretly: "As soon as the White Lotus is in full bloom, could it be that this group of people is from the White Lotus Sect?"

The White Lotus Sect is one of the folk religious societies that cannot be ignored in ancient Chinese history. The White Lotus Sect originated in the Tang and Song dynasties and flourished in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It is extremely strong, with adherents ranging from the three religions and nine streams to the wealthy and high-ranking officials, and it has had a glorious tradition of rebellion since the Yuan Dynasty.

For example, in the Red Turban Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, its leader Han Shantong and others were all members of the White Lotus Sect, which can be said to be the first shot fired by the White Lotus Sect against the Yuan. In the Ming Dynasty, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods, there were many armed riots of the White Lotus cultists in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Lu and other places. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, an unprecedented large-scale anti-Qing uprising broke out, the uprising lasted for a total of nine years and four months, swept through Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu five provinces, and the participants reached more than 300,000 people, the Qing government spent 200 million taels of silver for suppression, and lost more than 20 senior generals above the second grade, and more than 400 officers below the deputy general and staff general before it was exterminated. Many historians see the White Lotus Rebellion as a turning point in the decline of the Manchu Qing dynasty.

Not only that, but the White Lotus Sect is inextricably linked to many major historical events. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the court staff case of the Wanli Dynasty is said to be related to the White Lotus Sect.

But it is such a society that does not obey any dynasty and starts at every turn, and has gone through countless dynastic changes since the Tang and Song dynasties, but it has never been successfully banned, which shows the depth of its foundation, the firmness of the beliefs of the church, and the tenacity of vitality.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but wonder, what are they going to do when they come to me? Could it be that they want to influence me to join their teaching? No, I have a good relationship with the imperial court, no one in the world knows, and no one will come to me if they are looking for me!

So they want to rebel and kill me to sacrifice the flag? That's not quite like that, right? If you want to kill me, you should tie me up now.

Let's see.

On the stone chair, the "Great Elder" was a woman of about fifty. The woman has a well-proportioned figure, her eyes are heroic, and her spirit and blood are several times better than that of ordinary women, and she is obviously a master of the house.

"Get up. The woman's voice was indifferent, but it was majestic.

At this time, in the crowd standing below, a woman in the front row, dressed in white and about the same age as the "Great Elder", came out and said, "Great Elder. Since the death of the Sect Master, the position of the Sect Master has been vacant for several months. As the so-called group of dragons cannot be without a leader, not to mention that if there is a big chaos today, the change of twins is the time when my white lotus should open and recreate the prosperous world, so the position of the sect leader should be agreed upon as soon as possible. ”

A hint of disgust flashed in the eyes of the "Great Elder", and he glanced at the man coldly and said, "Elder Yue, what do you mean?"

It turned out that the person was the "Elder Moon" in Liu Yan's mouth.

Elder Yue said, "As we all know, when the previous sect leader and the old mother passed away a few months ago, she left an edict stating that the next sect leader would be succeeded by the Purple Dao Star Monarch who sat down on the childless old mother. What's more, the Purple Dao Star Monarch has already descended, he came from the Forbidden City, and he will eventually return to the Forbidden City, ascend to the position of that great treasure, command the world, and start the prosperous world again. ”

The Great Elder snorted coldly and said, "Then have you found that person?"

Elder Yue continued, "On the eighteenth day of June in the second year of Chongzhen, the purple light in the Forbidden City suddenly appeared, and this vision was known to everyone, presumably this was the omen of the Purple Dao Star Monarch's incarnation. After that, one person rose rapidly in the rivers and lakes, I don't think everyone knows it, that is Qin Shuhuai, the leader of the Jianghe Gang. He has an excellent relationship with the imperial court, and it is said that he and Chongzhen are often called brothers, and since he is Chongzhen's brother, he is naturally from the Forbidden City. And he is only sixteen now, but he has reached a small realm that no mortal can do, and he has strategized and repelled tens of thousands of strong soldiers of the Tartars, all of which are not for mortals to do. Therefore, we believe that this person is the embodiment of the 'Purple Dao Star Monarch' mentioned by the Godmother. Now in the whole world, he is the only one who can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, and he has the hope of ascending to the great treasure!"

As soon as Elder Yue's voice fell, a woman in white jumped out of the crowd, this person was a little short and fat, but her speech was full of energy.

"It's just nonsense! Can you conclude that he is the Purple Dao Star Monarch based on this alone? Elder Yue can investigate his origin in detail? Isn't it that you want to hug your thighs because you look at how powerful people are?"

When Qin Shuhuai saw this, he thought to himself that the White Lotus Sect was all headed by women, the sect leader was an old mother, and the elders were all women, and eighty percent of the sect members in front of him were also women.

In other words, since this is the case, how could the elders of this month think that a great old man in my hall is their next sect leader? This is not scientific!

In the face of that person's rebuke, Elder Yue was neither angry nor angry, and said calmly, "Elder Zhao asked well. It was precisely because we had done a detailed investigation of him that we determined that he was the Purple Dao Star Monarch. Do you know that this person has no roots, no home, no home, no father, no mother, no neighbors and no relatives? If he hadn't fallen from the sky, how could he have such a strange life experience?"

As soon as Elder Yue said this, a whisper suddenly sounded in the crowd, and many people nodded their heads one after another, thinking that it was true.

Qin Shuhuai wanted to laugh in his heart, thanks to Wang Chengen's good deeds. In order to prevent his identity from being discovered by Li Daliang, this guy decisively killed everyone who knew the original owner of this body, and even the neighbors did not let go. If the White Lotus Sect wanted to investigate its own background, it naturally had no way to find out.

Elder Zhao sneered again, "What if you don't have the ability to find out?"

"Elder Zhao, we are all working for the church, which church member is not doing his best, why do you have to ridicule each other everywhere? Now that the facts are in front of you, you still don't admit it, do you have to disobey your mother's teachings?"

"Hmph, the old mother's testament should be obeyed, but before the Purple Dao Star Monarch appears, how can we be in a hurry? You must know that Qin Shuhuai is a member of the imperial court, if he is made the sect leader, what if he lures the wolf into the room?"

"Elder Zhao, why do you need to quibble. Then Qin Shuhuai is the leader of the Jianghe Gang, how can he be a member of the imperial court? No one in the rivers and lakes knows that the long-cherished wish of the Qin gang leader is to restart the prosperous era, isn't this exactly the long-cherished wish of my sect, how can it be such a coincidence? In addition, you said that Qin Shuhuai is a member of the imperial court, but he led the Demon Sect to fight against the Tartars, could it be that he is still a member of the Demon Sect? I can only say that he is well versed in the emperor's mind and can use all forces for his own use, doesn't this just show that he has the appearance of an emperor?"
