Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji and said quietly: "The reaction is too slow. You have been with me for so long. Haven't you improved your reaction speed? It's not okay to be affected by things around you so easily, Tianji. ah!"

"If this goes on, you really won't have a chance to deceive me again."

Tianji: "..."

Tianji has nothing to say.

Shen Lian said everything.

And she also knew that there was really nothing she could do to fool Shen Lian, and it would be even more ridiculous to explain it now.

So, just be a quiet handsome man.

When Shen Lian saw that Tianji was silent, he laughed and said nothing more. There were many people around and talking too much could easily expose the truth.

In this way, he followed these people all the way.

After about two streets, I finally stopped.

As soon as he got there, he found that many people were kneeling there, kowtowing their heads constantly.

And in front of them was a huge statue.

This statue can be up to one foot high, with a black body, and it looks as if it was carved from a huge stone.

And at this time, a small half of the statue was buried in the soil, and the other half was exposed.

The statue depicts a woman. This woman has a slender figure and a beautiful face. She is looking forward gently at this time. Not to mention... she really feels like a mother.

"Tianji, have you seen this statue?" Shen Lian asked.

Tianji frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook her head: "I haven't seen it, I have no impression at all."

"Then, have you ever seen the appearance of this statue? Was it carved according to someone's appearance in your Big Dipper Society?"

Shen Lian said: "Such a concrete statue will never be carved without reason. Even if there is no such person, it must have been based on someone or some people, otherwise it would never be carved like this."

…………

"So do you have any thoughts? Feel familiar?"

"It doesn't need to be familiar with the whole picture, it can be a certain detail, such as the eyes, such as the nose, whatever."

Tianji looked at the statue in front of him for a long time.

Then she frowned, fell silent for a moment, and shook her head again.

"Still have no impression."

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head.

He believed that it was impossible for Tianji to be completely ignorant.

But Tianji deliberately concealed it, and Shen Lian had nothing to do.

He doesn't have mind reading skills, even if his insight is amazing, he can't detect everything.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

With his investigation, the investigation can always be clear.

And now, he just wants to see what is going on with this so-called heaven and earth empress.

Shen Lian withdrew from the crowd and walked to one side of the street.

Because these people are all believers of the Big Dipper Empress.

When they saw this black statue at this moment, they all knelt down and prayed.

So if Shen Lian was still standing there, while everyone else was kneeling down, and he was the only one standing, then he would be too conspicuous and too special.

So Shen Lian took this opportunity and went directly to the street. There were many people pointing and pointing, but they did not kneel down like the believers. This made Shen Lian not so obvious.

Obviously, it is impossible for any religion to convince everyone.

After all, there are still people who don't believe it.

"Miss Beidou has appeared!"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the reputation.

Shen Lian also looked over.

On the side of the statue, there was a man in sun and moon Taoist robe, singing something to the statue in high spirits.

After a while, he suddenly turned around, faced the kneeling believers, and said loudly: "Mistress Beidou has sensed everyone's devotion and faith, and is about to perform a manifestation!"

"And at the moment when Empress Beidou appeared, the hope in the letter was also the easiest chance for Empress Beidou to perceive and realize it!"

"So everyone must be devout, must not have distracting thoughts, and with a devout heart, pray for Empress Beidou's favor!"

Those believers seemed to have been brainwashed at this time, knelt down and kowtowed over and over again, shouting: "I beg the mother of the Big Dipper to show her spirit!"

Finally, it seems that the belief of the believers is really felt.

At this moment, the black statue suddenly moved!
That's right, without anyone touching it, it moved by itself.

This scene was watched by all the believers.

All of a sudden, these believers became even more fanatical.

"The lady has appeared!"

"Mother bless!"

"I beg your mother to bless you!"

The believers shouted loudly.

And the statue of the Big Dipper seems to have really heard the words of the believers, and it is getting taller and taller.

No...it's not that the statue got taller.

It was the statue that was originally buried on the ground, but at this moment, it broke free from the ground automatically.

That way, as if to rush out of the ground.

This scene deeply shocked the believers, and the believers became more and more fanatical.

Even the common people who were watching the excitement at the beginning, when they saw this scene, they all knelt down and began to pray.

Shen Lian and others were standing aside and saw this scene clearly.

At this moment, Si She and the others were also shocked.

Si Snake couldn't help but said: "Is it really manifested?"

Tianji frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

But Shen Lian sneered.

"Apparition? Interesting!"

He turned his head to look at Tianji, seeing that Tianji's brows were tightly furrowed, and asked, "Do you see what kind of trick it is?"

"A trick?" Si Snake was startled.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Do you really think some kind of empress of heaven and earth is appearing?"

Si Snake frowned, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

He saw very clearly.

There is no one near the huge statue, so there is no elevation caused by being touched by people.

Moreover, the sculpture is very heavy at first glance, and it cannot be lifted by one or two people.

So now he really doesn't understand, what's going on, why the statue can move by itself.

"Tianji, please explain to Sishe?" Shen Lian said to Tianji.Tianji frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said, "There should be something buried under the stone statue."

"What was buried?" Si Snake was startled.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Maybe it's something like beans. These things will sprout automatically as long as you add water."

"Don't underestimate the bean sprouts. The power of nature is great, and the power of these little bean sprouts is also terrifying."

"And when the beans germinate, as long as the temperature is suitable, it is completely possible to estimate when they will germinate rapidly and germinate in a large area."

"So, you only need to bury the beans under the stone statue in advance, then water regularly, calculate the time, and then call the believers over, naturally..."

Shen Lian looked at the pious scene in front of him and said with a faint smile: "Of course... we can see the so-called empress of heaven and earth appear."

Sishe suddenly understood after hearing Shen Lian's explanation.

"So that's the case, young master, I was almost cheated."

Shen Lian smiled: "It is too easy for people who don't understand to be deceived. Look at so many believers. They have probably been deceived in this way over and over again, and finally they have completely believed in it."

He glanced at Tianji at the side, and said, "Why don't you see that your Big Dipper Club is fooling people like this in Datang?"

Tianji spoke this time.

She said: "The Great Tang Dynasty is different from Nanzhao. The Great Tang Dynasty has thousands of years of cultural heritage and its own spiritual heritage. Such a person is the most difficult thing to believe in."

"But Nanzhao is different. The founding of Nanzhao is still short, and the culture has long been interrupted. The people have no cultural and spiritual inheritance, and need some beliefs to live, so naturally in Nanzhao, promoting these is very effective."

"But in Datang, this trick doesn't work, and not only doesn't it work, if you do this, you will be arrested by the government instead, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Shen Lian smiled and nodded.

Indeed, Datang and Nanzhao are two completely different countries.

The Tang Dynasty has the cultural inheritance of various schools of thought, the teachings of Confucianism, Taoism, and the perseverance of generations of capable people with lofty ideals. Even the most ordinary people have never read books, but what is in their bones, they don’t know. changing.

These are the places where the so-called religions are most helpless.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, but Datang is really seamless.

Spirit, heritage, culture, sometimes is the most powerful weapon!
Shen Lian said: "This is the sadness of not having inheritance!"

The snake is silent.

Tianji was not silent either.

Gradually, the statue of the Big Dipper stopped moving.

The man in the sun and moon Taoist robe at the front opened his arms and said, "We want to make our wish come true, we must let Empress Beidou feel our devotion, so now, for Empress Beidou, dedicate everything to yourself!"

While he was talking, people in the same clothes walked into the believers with boxes one after another.

Then I saw these believers generously donating their money and putting all the good things they had on them into the boxes.

Shen Lian looked at this scene, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a faint smile: "You Beidou masters are really good at making money. This is much simpler than doing business. There is no cost, no need to make more preparations, it is just like picking up money. .”

"It's just that you got so much money, these believers still want to thank you!"

"It's incredible, it's really amazing!"

Tianji curled her lips and said, "I don't like defrauding money from ordinary people."

"If it were me, I would only plunder money from wealthy businessmen and gentry, or simply from the court, and I would not deceive these ordinary people who are not living well!"

Shen Lian clicked his tongue and marveled: "I didn't expect you to have such noble thoughts. I am almost moved by you."

Tianji said calmly: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Qin Wenyuan, although I am a daughter, I also have my own set of principles."

Shen Lian smiled.

He can judge that Tianji is not lying now.

It also shows that Tianji really thinks so.

This is interesting.

It seems that Tianji is really a principled villain?
Moreover, she was very disdainful of this method of defrauding people of their money, and just curled her lips. Does this mean that he once opposed this method?
But in the end it was unsuccessful?
So this is one of the conflicts between her and the Beidou Society?

Is it also one of the contradictions between the two?

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, thinking in his mind, but his face didn't show anything.

He said: "Okay, we've seen the good show, let's go back."

With that said, he turned and walked away.

"Shen Lian."

At this moment, Tianji chased after her and said, "You don't want to stop them from deceiving the people?"

Shen Lian smiled: "They are not my people in the Tang Dynasty, what do I care about them?"

"Besides, this is Nanzhao, an enemy country. You asked me to stop them... Is it because you want me to be discovered and get into trouble?"

Tianji frowned.

I wanted to say something, but hesitated for a while, and finally didn't speak.

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji, smiled, and said, "But I am really interested in the religion created by the Beidou Society."

"So, Tianji..."

Shen Lian sent out an invitation: "Are you interested in accompanying me to explore Beidou Temple tonight?"

Beidou Temple is where the so-called Beidou Empress is located.

The Beidou Temple sounds more like a Taoist Taoist temple.

But in fact, Beidou Temple has nothing to do with Taoist Taoism.

The Taoism of Taoism originated from many myths in the Central Plains. It is a cultural belief that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as a native belief in beauty.

But the Big Dipper Empress of Beidou Temple is like a rootless duckweed, completely forged by you, she is an evil sycophant.

However, there is a word Guan in both places where believers worship, and people in Beidou Temple wear sun and moon Taoist robes, which are slightly similar to traditional Taoist robes. If you don’t know much about it, it’s easy to confuse the two and think Beidou View is a kind of Taoist view.

But in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Shen Lian even suspected that the creator of the Beidou Temple, Beichen, or other star practitioners, were forgeries based on or simply plagiarized Taoist ideas.

When Tianji heard Shen Lian's words, he couldn't help but look at Shen Lian and frowned: "You want to visit Beidou Temple at night? Why?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I'm curious. Aren't you curious?"

"This Beidou Temple is really just a tool for the Beidou Temple to simply collect money? Or is there another secret?"

"And the Beidou Temple is the only thing on the bright side of the Beidou Society. Maybe we can find some secrets of the Beidou Society from the Tiandi Temple."

"So, no matter what the reason is, this official must check this Beidou Temple."

"How is it? Do you want to go and have a look together?"

Shen Lian extended an invitation to Tianji.

In fact, he didn't want to bring Tianji with him at first, after all, watching Beidou Temple at night is not an easy task.

As for Tianji, a cunning person, if he does something in Beidou Temple, he may destroy his plan and even put himself in danger.

But when he saw Tianji being disgusted and disgusted with Beidou Guan amassing money today, Shen Lian suddenly changed his mind.

Tianji does have his ulterior and insidious schemes, but in some respects, he still has some similarities with himself.

Therefore, Shen Lian changed his mind and wanted to see if his judgment was correct.

Of course, it is impossible for him to be unprepared. He is fully prepared, and even if Tianji does something wrong, he can leave safely.
