Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 612 The grown statue
  If a statue of a god really grows, Turner is absolutely justified.

But Zhu Xuan's approach seemed very simple and unreliable, so he didn't believe it.

"It's only seven days, success or failure will be determined easily." Zhu Xuan explained again knowing that Turner didn't believe it again.

Turner thinks it makes sense.

Now the voice of opposition is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more people who oppose it. They are temporarily helpless. It is better to wait for another seven days. If the idol can really grow back, they will continue to sell indulgences and ruthlessly harvest those who are opposed now.

"But we must protect this place and don't let them discover the soybeans." Zhu Xuan warned.

It’s easy to uncover the secrets of soybeans just by looking at them.

Smart people will never be lacking anywhere.

Of course there are in the West too.

Turner understood and said solemnly: "I know what to do."

Things were done quickly.

It was now midnight, and when they went back to rest, Turner arranged for several believers to prepare for their miracle, which was about to shock everyone.

the next morning.

One was surprised to see Turner's men in the square, watering an open space.

They couldn't understand what this was about, but no one cared or asked, they just took a look at it. The opponents continued to oppose it, and they still chanted against the indulgences in groups outside.

Various posters continue to be posted.

The streets are full of opposition posters and voices of opposition. More and more people think that they are being cut off. People are getting involved one after another. They are now on the verge of destroying Turner's church.

But it hasn't developed to such an extreme level yet.

Zhu Xuan was soon awakened by the sound of shouting outside.

Since they came back very late last night, they did not go back to the ship and stayed in the church temporarily.

After getting up, I saw that Turner had brought a hearty breakfast.

"Your Highness, when will it have some effect?"

Turner asked impatiently.

Zhu Xuan said: "Bishop, don't be impatient, just wait for two or three days."

In this case, the only thing you can do is wait patiently!
  In fact, it doesn’t take three days.

Starting from the next day, some people came back to report that the top of the statue had popped out of the soil.

Turner hurried over to take a look and saw that it was indeed the case, and he was immediately full of confidence in Zhu Xuan.

Wait until the third day, in the morning.

Before the believers came over, someone noticed that there seemed to be a head coming out of the square. It was the head of the statue.

This strange and special phenomenon attracted many people to watch. Some people came over to point and discuss why there was suddenly an additional head of the statue.

They were surprised.

The believers knew that they needed to protect this place, so someone came immediately to maintain order. Others sat down and muttered the contents of their Bible, creating a very good sense of ceremony.

It gives people a nagging feeling.

Usually the more magical it is, the more interesting it is.

Those who opposed no longer marched, but gathered in the square to see what the believers wanted to do or what methods they wanted to use to resist.

Zhu Xuan and the others followed Turner and came here to take a look. Seeing that it attracted people's attention, they smiled and said: "When your Buddha statue grows taller and taller, more and more people will be shocked. The plan is almost successful."

Unexpectedly, the operation of using bean sprouts to hold up the idols is applicable to both East and West. In this ignorant and superstitious era, this method is considered omnipotent. As long as it is used well, it can do many things.

"Thank you for your great idea, Your Highness."

Turner was completely convinced and said excitedly: "When we succeed here, we will continue to cooperate. I will also start to promote those cigarettes and lighters. Lighters are very popular, but no one cares about cigarettes."

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "Don't worry, there will be people rushing to get it soon. If you really can't sell it, you can bring it to my company to return the goods, and I will refund you even the transportation costs." By then, the upper class circles, For example, if Adelaide and others smoke, the people below them will definitely follow suit.

Turner's last doubts were dispelled when he heard that he could still return the goods.

After walking in the square for a while, Zhu Xuan and the others returned to the church, but at this time he saw Ji Wenjing smoking again.

"Mr. Ji, didn't you say that you have strong self-control?"

Zhu Xuan has no objection to Ji Wenjing smoking, and cigarettes are actually nothing.

But I don’t want to think about it yet. If cigarettes spread in the Ming Dynasty, they must first harvest the West.

"This thing is really strange."

Ji Wenjing threw the cigarette butt on the ground, rubbed it vigorously, and continued: "The more I don't think about it, the more I can't help but want to smoke. Your Highness, I don't know how to evaluate this thing. Anyway... I just can't forget it."

"Lei Gang."

Zhu Xuan said.

Lei Gang took two steps forward.

Zhu Xuan added: "From now on, put away all the cigarettes and lighters on Mr. Ji. Whenever you see him smoking, grab them directly. No one is allowed to give him cigarettes."

Lei Gang grinned, patted Ji Wenjing's shoulder and said, "Mr. Ji, I'm offended."

Ji Wenjing: "..."

"Your Highness, you..."

He didn't know what else to say.

Zhu Xuan counted the days, and there was still time. He was not in a hurry to go back immediately, and continued to stay and wait for the result of the statue.

On the fourth day, the statue had grown a lot and half of its body was exposed.

Those believers are still talking about it, chanting sutras in the square every day, and they also publicize that the water they pour in the square is not ordinary water, but holy water given by God.

In short, everything in the square is made to be divine and full of divine colors.

Seeing the idol growing out of the soil for no reason, those who opposed it began to hesitate. In the past few days, the opposition voices have become weaker and weaker, and the posters that were posted were torn down one after another.

The situation changed quickly, surprising Turner.

"Your Highness, do you feel that it is a lot quieter?"

When Turner went to the square again, he heard the voices of opposition, which basically fell silent.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "The smaller the voice of opposition is, it means that the bishop is not far from success."

"it is good!"

Turner said excitedly.

I finally learned something from the Ming Emperor Sun.

He decided to increase the issuance of indulgences and assign more sins to those who opposed it, asking them to buy more indulgences to atone for their sins and recover all the grievances they had suffered recently.

If you don't be cruel, they won't feel happy enough.

Time passed quickly, seven days passed.

A complete statue of the god appeared in the square.

In order not to be discovered and to continue to maintain a sense of mystery, Turner arranged for people to surround the place, and they quickly cleaned up the bean sprouts that popped up, so that people would definitely discover it.

Many people were shocked and puzzled when they saw a complete statue of a god growing out of the soil for no reason.

The people and voices of opposition were completely gone.

All those posters were torn down.

People who had participated in the procession now all came to the statue of God, prayed and confessed their sins tremblingly, they were so afraid.
