Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 618 The Prophecy of the Catastrophe

...

"The food is released, the food is released, folks and elders, come and have a look! Don't push, I promise everyone will have it!"

"Come on, this is your share!"

"Those who have received it, please go to the next tent to register. Don't worry, you won't accept money from everyone! This is a gift from the red lotus of salvation!"

Early the next morning, Qianren City underwent earth-shaking changes.

First, all the gates of the closed city were opened, and a black and red flag was flown over the top of the city, and then the corpses hanging at the gate of the city were lowered and burned on the spot. Dozens of people rode horses back and forth through the residential areas outside the city, shouting the news of the arrival of the Salvation Church, and saying that no matter whether they become believers or not, they can receive a ration.

The sudden good news spread throughout the countryside in a very short period of time, and people poured into the city one after another, blocking the official road for a while. Although the noise and fighting last night kept many people up all night, they chose to enter the city without hesitation when they heard the news of the food distribution.

It can be said that at this point, even if robbers come to distribute food, the refugees outside the city do not want to miss the opportunity.

The approach of the Salvation Church was completely beyond Luo Qingqing's expectations.

She originally planned to eradicate the corrupt officials living in Youzhou people first, and then open the granary to relieve the hunger of the local people. With the prestige brought by this move, no matter what she does next, it will be easier to get the understanding and support of the local people .

However, the sudden arrival of the Salvation Church interrupted her plan.

Luo Weiwei didn't expect that they would really come to Qianren City as the rumors said, let alone that the city would be breached overnight by these people. From the complexion and attire of the believers of the Salvation Church, it can be seen that the other party is not some hidden master, but an ordinary person who has just washed off the mud on his feet, and his weapons are mainly knives, forks and sticks. The lack of siege weapons and the ability to pierce through the city gate in one breath can only show that there were already followers of the Salvationist Church in the defenders before they arrived.

Up to this point, there is actually no problem.

If the Salvation Church is like Lu Qiheng, using the guise of saving the world to exploit the common people, she is nothing more than repeating what she just did.

As a result, the first thing the other party did after capturing Qianren City had something to do with her.

This made Luo Weiwei a little embarrassed.

At the same time, there is still a question lingering in her mind-if a famine occurs, those who can control more food will have a stronger ability to protect themselves. She does have Jinxia City to go to, but what about Kaitian Salvation Sect?

Therefore, when he heard the news of the opening of the warehouse to release grain, Luo Qingqing decided to let the children stay outside the city and not to move, and went to the city to find out the situation first.

And Salvationism seems to have moved for real.

The food distribution location was even arranged at the gate of the grain depot in the north of the city.

Everyone can see that the carts of rice were dragged out of the warehouse and dumped on the flagstone floor of the compound. No matter who comes forward, as long as there is no seal on the back of the hand, they can receive a grain of millet, which is just the size of a palm when wrapped in cloth. Although it is not enough for a day's food, considering that women and children are also counted as heads, the food that a family of three can receive is quite considerable.

And according to the other party, this kind of food distribution will last for more than half a month.

Luo lightly realized that this number was not set casually.

It took almost half a month to complete the half-reclaimed fields in the outskirts and replenish the seeds. Even if the optimal sowing time is missed, it will only affect the harvest, which is better than no harvest anyway.

What's more, the Salvation Church also promised that it will sell grain at a fair market price in the future to ensure a stable food supply.

It was hard for her to imagine that a religious organization that popped up suddenly would adopt such a mature method to reshape the order here.

We must know that food is more precious than silver taels in vain at certain times.

They are willing to give up their immediate short-term interests and look further afield, which is not at all like what a folk sect would do. Or maybe, everything they did was just a disguise, and the real purpose is still unknown.

After thinking for a while, Luo resolutely walked into the crowd.

Since observation cannot make judgments, it is better to experience it for yourself.

As Xia Fan said, practice is the only criterion for testing things.

After half an hour, she finally got to the front of the line.

"Girl, this is your share, take it!" The man who distributed the food yelled, "Next, please go to the tent to register!"

Luo gently put the grain into his sleeve, and followed the others into the tent.

The furnishings inside are very simple, except for a square wooden table, three people who are obviously believers of the Salvationist religion are sitting behind the table, and the one in the middle is obviously the one with the highest position.

But surprisingly, he is also the youngest of the three.

That's right - not young, but small.

Judging from his appearance and voice, this person is at most fifteen or sixteen years old.

Luo Weiwei also noticed that the number of people in the tents stopped increasing when they reached about twenty. Considering that there are many tents around, she guessed that there was such a group of people in each tent, and it was not just for stamping That's all.

Sure enough, the youngest person spoke first, "Folks, don't be in a hurry to go home and cook rice, I have something to say to you all."

Luo slightly raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

It seems that personal experience can indeed gain more things.

Because anger doesn't lie.

This man is a sentimentalist.

And his accent is definitely not a local resident of Youzhou.

"My name is Wang Sha. If you find it difficult to pronounce, you can also call me brother Sha directly." He said with a smile on his face. "To tell the truth, the world is about to encounter a catastrophe. I didn't mean to scare you , In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will also find that the recent days are really not normal. In the past, among locust disasters, military disasters, famines and floods, only one occurrence is a great event, but in the past two years, it has happened consecutively. Three times."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in the other party's gourd.

But there is nothing wrong with what this person said—the locust plague in Fengguo had a real impact on the western states, and Youzhou was among them; ... Now that the price of food is soaring and people can't eat enough, isn't it the proof of the disaster?

But what can they do?

Wang Sha seemed to see everyone's doubts, "The catastrophe is inevitable, and it cannot be stopped. Because of this, God sent down the Lord of the Red Lotus to listen to the voice of the immortal and save the suffering of the common people! As long as you join the Kaitian Salvation Cult , there is hope to survive the catastrophe and usher in a new life! Just like the food in your hands—this is the gift of the savior!"

The crowd was silent for a while.

This news is too far away for the people at the bottom.

After a long while, someone timidly said, "Um...my lord, do I have to pay a membership fee to join the Salvation Church?"

"Relax, it's a habit in the church to call you brothers, we don't talk about officialdom." Wang Sha replied enthusiastically, "I can guarantee the money issue, no one will take a copper coin from you."

"Then... what do we need to do after we become believers?"

"Are you going to go to the battlefield..."

"I can also declare this in advance. Those who are willing to contribute their own strength to the religion will have additional rewards, but coercion is absolutely prohibited. In other words, as long as you don't want to take up arms and fight, no one will force you to fight." You do this." He paused, "The purpose of Salvationism is to save the common people, so they won't stay in one place for too long. After you become believers, you just need to follow the big troops and don't have to worry about food and clothing. As long as the red If Master Lian has a mouthful of food, I will not lose your portion!"

Such a relaxed condition made everyone look at each other for a while.

You don’t need to charge money and you don’t have to sacrifice your life, as long as you follow the Salvation Teachings, you can have a full stomach. This is not much different from a living Bodhisattva, right?

Only Luo frowned slightly.

It can be said that the purpose of the other party's opening warehouses to release grain is to quickly win the hearts of the people, and the purpose of resuming farming is to stabilize the order of one side. These two methods are things that only those who want to fight for hegemony will do.

No matter how bad it is, it is aimed at being a powerful party.

But listening to this person, the Salvation Church doesn't seem to intend to stay for a long time-once they leave, these irreplaceable achievements will inevitably become the possessions of the latecomers.

After all, there are many big families in Qianren City. They have property and food reserves, so they certainly won't run around with the Salvationists.

Isn't this a wedding dress for others?

"Where do you want to take people? How to save the common people?" Since you can't figure it out, it's better to ask directly. She immediately asked, "It's not like going to a place and emptying the grain depot in that place, right? The more people join the sect, the greater the pressure on food supply. As long as the grain storage in one place can't keep up with consumption, the consequences will be worse." It is unimaginable. I wonder if you have considered this issue?"

"That's right... From this point of view, don't we become rogues?"

"What if other cities resolutely resist?"

"When the imperial court recovers, surely they won't let us go?"

Luo Qingqing's words caused a commotion in the crowd.

Several people who originally planned to join also hesitated.

Wang Sha's eyes fell on Luo Qingqing - there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes, "I don't know what to call this girl?"

The other two men also stood up and walked to the sides of the tent, one left and one right.

"No surname, Qing'er," Luo Weiqing calmly made up a pseudonym.

With the help of Qi's vision, she can calmly judge the possible threats around her and the degree to which she needs to be on guard. Only one of the three is a person who is sensitive, and she only needs to watch the boy's every move.

"That's a good question. No organization can drift forever like duckweed, and Kaitian Salvation Church is no exception." Wang Sha put away his smile, "We will take people to a place where there will never be food shortages , there is the land of the kingdom of heaven, and it is also the fortress forged by the listeners. There, people can safely survive the catastrophe until the light returns."

I'm sorry, the state is really bad today, I didn't sleep well all night, I wrote 4000 words and then deleted 3000 words, so I put it together and sent it =. = try to adjust back tomorrow
