Chapter 165: The Luoyang Incident

There is a small county town in the northwest of Luoyang, called Henei County (now Qinyang County, Henan Province)!

This year, there was a severe drought in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. Although Qinyang is close to the Yellow River, it has not escaped the bad luck!

It's just slightly better than other places, and 100% of the food has been preserved by 30%! Moreover, the water source here has not dried up, so there is no locust plague!

It is precisely because of this that I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional that the local people thought of offering sacrifices to heaven and thanking him after the harvest!

Everyone said that this country has a severe drought this year, but it is better to be close to the Yellow River. Since the court said that this is a test of heaven, it is to hold hands with the people on both sides of the Yellow River! So we should set up a stage to worship the sky!

So, by chance, a Taoist master was invited by someone who was interested. He was instructed to preside over the ceremony of worshiping heaven, which was the most appropriate thing!

So the people in Hanoi County did not need to organize and came forward to work together outside the city to prepare for sacrifices!

When the local county magistrate saw that although the court clearly ordered that it was not time to worship the sky, the public could not violate the anger. The people had no intention of worshiping the sky and thanking the sky, so they let it go!

The big fanfare of Hanoi County spread quickly, driving the surrounding counties, villages, etc. As long as they are on both sides of the Yellow River and those who are not seriously affected will follow the example of offering sacrifices to the sky!

These places have one common feature, that is, a Taoist priest who knows how to sacrifice to heaven appeared at the right time. Some of them were great witches from the south. After seeing the magical means of these masters, the people's enthusiasm for sacrifice to heaven became even higher!

The Taoist priest in Hanoi County was named Lu Shenshi. Due to the enthusiasm of the people of Hanoi, Lu Shenshi finally agreed to start the practice of the people in the surrounding villages first, and wait until the presidency of the surrounding areas of Hanoi is completed, and then return to the county town to preside over the largest ritual of sacrifice to heaven to show his solemnity!

This also shows that our human race is becoming more and more sincere in offering sacrifices to heaven, from small to large, and the offerings are becoming more and more abundant, and God is definitely becoming more and more happy!

On this day, Master Lu was presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven on the altar south of Hanoi!

When the performance reaches a critical moment, I will send Fu Datian to listen!

It is to ignite the talisman in your hand and throw it to the sky for heaven to receive it!

I saw the man muttering something, and quickly truncated the special talisman on the table with the peach wood sword in his hand, lit it on the incense candle, then slammed into the sky, and a thunder sounded! Everyone only saw a ball of fire appear, and then the talisman turned into a ball of smoke and flew upwards to the sky!

Wow! Master Lu is so capable! God is open to his eyes!

There were thousands of onlookers, and everyone shouted happily, and kept kowtowing to the altar!

But at this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded!

"Bah! So this is the method of a god? I can do it!"

I saw a rough man dressed up in a beggar and rushed to the altar quickly!

Then a group of little beggars followed the stage and shouted: "Friends, this person is a liar, his magical methods are fake. We beggars all know why. He is cheating on our money, and he can't communicate with God at all!"

"Who are you? Why are you here to disrupt the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven? I sincerely come to help the people sacrifice sacrifices to heaven, why are you a liar?

Friends, please hurry up and drive these crazy people down. Don’t mess with God and bring disaster down!" The Taoist said hurriedly.

The people below the audience had long admired this Master Lu. How could they allow others to blaspheme, let alone beggars?

Immediately, a few people shouted to come up and take action! Everyone below also cursed the beggar's unscrupulousness!

Seeing this, the old and rough beggar knew that these people were not easy to persuade. He stopped talking and quickly took out the paper bag that had been made in his arms, lit it with the incense candle on the altar, and threw it into the sky!

Bang!

A loud bang, a white smoke!

In an instant, the people in the audience became quiet! The people who rushed to the stage to take action stopped, and even the Taoist Master Lu opened his mouth!

Everyone was thinking, how is this possible?

At this time the beggar spoke, "Friends, this Taoist is a fake Taoist priest who specializes in cheating money, food and drink! His magical methods are just wrapped in flints in paper. Look, even I, a beggar, can do it!

How could he use this method to deceive everyone by saying that he can reach the heavenly listening?

If this is the case, then wouldn’t I beggar be okay?

Everyone, whoever believes that can come up and try it out. Beggar, I still have a lot of these things in my hands, and it’s so fun!”

At this time, Master Lu panicked, "Don't let the people talk! Villagers, don't be deceived by these beggars, drive them down quickly!"

As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp! Even if they are fooled for a while, as long as they are given a questionable point, there will always be a few clever ones who will react!

"I'll try it!" A strong man ignored the Taoist's words!

He boldly went to the stage, took the paper bag from the beggar's hand, lit the paper bag with the candlelight of sacrifice to heaven, and then threw it away under the guidance of the beggar!

Bang!

It was also a fire and a ray of white smoke!

This time, the people were not stunned, but quickly reacted!

"It turned out to be true? That Taoist priest is really a liar? Take him down quickly, our money has been cheated!" Someone began to shout!

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Master Lu turned around and was about to step down and escape, but a group of little beggars on the stage were not easy to mess with, so he had surrounded him long ago!

"Dare to cheat on our money? Beat him to death!"

The fake Taoist priest named Lu was frightened to death. Thousands of people shouted and beat him to death. I guess he would be here today!

In the end, under the persuasion of the Beggars' Gang, the people just took this person and sent it to the government for interrogation, asking him to spit out money!

But the money had been taken away by the man who was in partnership, and the fake Taoist priest himself didn't know where the man had gone!

After interrogation, it was found that a large number of fake Taoist priests like him were around Luoyang. They were born as gangsters. Later, one day a fat man with a beard found them and said that they would make a lot of money together!

Finally, I taught everyone how to cheat, and sent the followers to make money together. The money collected was under the charge of the followers. At the same time, the followers were responsible for the food and drink expenses. At the beginning, they agreed to share the money together!

But it is obvious that everyone was deceived!

In the end, the county magistrate was helpless. This guy couldn't afford to pay, and he was prone to gossip in his own county government. What should I do if someone misunderstood the county government embezzled money?

In a rage, he threw it to the people. In less than half an hour, the fake Taoist priest was killed by the angry people!

The same scene, at the same time, also happened in other surrounding places where sacrifices were being sacrificed. One by one, one fake Taoist priest was arrested and captured, either being beaten to death by the government or the people!

The Beggars' Sect investigated the matter in advance and kept their eyes on the followers of the fake Taoist priests. Elder Song of the Beggars' Sect is an experienced figure. For this matter, he came to Luoyang to take charge. He knew that they would run away. He had already sent capable disciples to follow these people one by one!

Finally, I found out that they were going to the same place, that is - Luoyang!

It is time to make a quick decision and take someone to take the murderer's chief evil!

But after arriving at the hiding place of those people, Elder Song pressed down on the disciples, gave an order and hurriedly retreated!

As for what? It is obvious that this place is unusual and cannot be fought!
