Chapter 958 Heavy Snow, Grain (for Subscription)

The first snowfall in winter came quickly and quickly, Lingwu City was covered with white snow, and the air of murder filled the world, and there was no tendency to stop in a short time.

The bitter cold climate, even the turbulent rivers, are covered with a layer of not very thick glaciers.

The snowfall this time directly paralyzed the most excellent transportation system in Lingwu City. All the wharves stopped immediately, and the merchants and displaced persons who came and went could only wait anxiously in the place where they settled down.

The impact of traffic is only one aspect. As a densely populated city, Lingwu City, which is not known for its agriculture, also has a huge demand for food. Therefore, during the heavy snowfall, the price of food has also risen again and again, bringing all kinds of All kinds of things to keep out the cold and warm things have become extremely popular, with prices several times higher than in the past.

In the outer city of Lingwu, in the slums outside the southern area, news of people being frozen to death is heard from time to time. There is no way. Although a long period of peace has passed, the number of poor people is still People who are far more than ordinary people, barely surviving, still account for a huge proportion in the entire land of Shenzhou, and this proportion also continues in this small Lingwu City.

In a small house that looked fairly spacious and tidy, a burly man wearing a red fur hat and warm cotton padded clothes was sitting on a wooden chair with a gloomy expression. In front of him were two trembling and fearful men. , there is a burning charcoal basin next to it that emits warm heat and dispels the cold.

As the envoy of the Purdue Sect stationed in Lingwu City, a city that connects the three states, apart from being a martial artist who is already a congenital level martial artist, his skill in dealing with problems and his sensitivity to external information are also unmatched by ordinary people. .

This heavy snowfall lasted for more than five days, and it was very violent at the beginning, and now it is still getting bigger and bigger. The holy envoy of the Purdue Sect immediately thought that because of the heavy snow blocking the river, Lingwu City would go out to the outside world. The various materials purchased, especially the most critical food, may not be escorted on time, and there will be a short-term skyrocketing food price in the city.

Therefore, he immediately sent two of his subordinates to purchase grain, but unfortunately it was too late. Even though the prices of the small grain stores were far higher than the market, they were still purchased in a very short time.

Today, only some big dealers headed by Yanping County Prince’s Mansion continue to release grain, and the price is not expensive, but it is strictly forbidden for individuals to purchase in large quantities, which makes Pudujiao lack the ability to take the initiative in facing this great opportunity.

Man-made disasters caused by natural disasters, if the holy envoy of the Purdue Sect now has a large amount of food, he will definitely be able to draw many poor people who cannot afford food in Lingwu City to the Purdue Sect in the shortest possible time and make great contributions.

At the moment of life and death, the human mind is the most fragile. At this time, Purdue Sect appears with the teaching of universal salvation, and distributes rations of life for free. In the eyes of those who are about to starve to death, its image is no different from that of a living Bodhisattva.

The number of believers will explode in a geometric growth trend. It cannot be said that the low-level people who monopolize the entire Lingwu City will at least open up the situation in Lingwu City and make this place a very important stronghold organization of Purdue Sect.

Not all of these are true beliefs, most of them are for survival. If you don’t believe in it, you will have no food. If you believe in it, you will have food. You don’t need to think about this choice at all.

Purdue Sect has experienced similar situations many times over the years. It can be said that it is the natural and man-made disasters, turmoil in life, and unrest among the people that lead to the rapid rise and growth of Purdue Sect.

It's a good thing now, although the emissary's reaction was quick, he still didn't have time to make a move, and the corresponding channels were directly blocked by the major forces in the city, and the purchase of food was restricted, which led him to want to take this opportunity to woo the people to join the religion. The idea was stillborn.

As for purely relying on the vernacular, it is not impossible, the key is that this holy envoy does not have the ability to make such hype.

In addition to losing a chance to make meritorious deeds, many of the congregants he secretly developed now can't stand it anymore.

Think about it too, how can people with good living conditions, enough peace and happiness, care about the favor of such an inexplicable sect?

You want to save sentient beings, but I am already living a good life, so I don’t need you to save sentient beings.

Those who are really interested in this set of teachings, eat it, and even take it seriously, can only be poor people who live at the bottom, lose confidence in life, and are pessimistic about outsiders.

It is good to be hungry and full for a while, but the worst are those who cannot eat a meal for a day or two in a row.

At this time, under the blow of this heavy snow, large-scale death is inevitable.

Just from waking up in the morning, until now, the number of deaths reported by the Purdue envoy has exceeded 35, and this number is still rising.

The main ones were those who died of freezing, followed by those who died of starvation, and those who died directly from cold or fever.

Although most of these dead people are old and frail, lack of energy, or have long suffered from diseases, but they can't stand such consumption.

Moreover, death is only one aspect, and the bigger hidden danger lies in things other than death, such as worrying about gains and losses, and panic.

"Holy envoy, what should I do, the people below are almost unable to hold on now, and many people are questioning the existence of the Great Purdue Buddha.

Also, I heard that those aristocratic families have started recruiting servants again. Some of our subordinates are tempted, and even plan to join forces and sell themselves to those aristocratic families together, hoping for a chance to survive. "

Over the years, the Holy Envoy stayed in Lingwu City. To be on the safe side, he only secretly recruited less than 300 believers. Most of them came from poor families. , but no ascending channels.

Usually, it is fine, everyone can be regarded as pious, but when it comes to such a critical moment of life and death, everyone can't care about whether the Buddha is not the Buddha.

If it can keep us alive and fill our stomachs, that is the Buddha. If it can’t keep us alive, it’s a fart.

People's desire to survive is the strongest kind of instinctive desire. In order to survive, it is not uncommon to make seemingly unimaginable decisions.

For example, what this person said now is that the big guys gang up in pairs to sell themselves to those who have food and power.

Selling one's body is equivalent to involuntary life and death. It is an extremely inhuman behavior. Normally, no one would be willing to be a dog or a slave to others.

However, at the juncture of life and death, the so-called freedom and dignity do not seem to be so difficult to abandon.

Note that this refers to ordinary people, not those guys who are beyond ordinary people.

After hearing this sentence, the holy envoy of the Purdue Sect became even more ugly.
