Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 786

Chapter 786

Beiyan does not prohibit beneficial beliefs.

Because a person has faith not only has a spiritual support, but also has a kind of restriction on people.

Let them think that there is a god in the head and three feet, and it is better to restrain themselves instead of managing others when dealing with others.

It's just that there are too few such beliefs in the Yuanwu Continent, and many times they are deceived and abducted under the cloak of belief.

You may see good things on the surface, but how can anyone but yourself see the tricks behind the scenes?

In fact, this matter should have been managed by the local government and the embroidery guards.

But the Procuratorate also has rights, and they now have their own establishment.

Jianzhou's Embroidery Guard has undergone two changes and some personnel have been withdrawn. Although there are follow-up reserve personnel, they are not as good as the old subordinates in terms of experience or other aspects, so it is normal for the momentum to weaken. .

There is no way, who made the interior of the Embroidery Guard impure? Without drastic rectification, some people really think that their hands can enter the powerful organization at will.

Therefore, the strength of Embroidered Clothes Guards has declined somewhat, and the focus of work also needs to be shifted. Most of the time, the dissemination of this rural belief is based on supervision. As long as there are no accidents, they should not take the initiative to censor.

It’s not that they don’t do anything, it’s just that this is the tradition of Yuanwu Continent.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the prosecutors who have the time and energy to help them handle related matters. Maybe there will be unexpected gains?

The appearance of the Earth God Sect was so sudden that everyone would not believe that there was nothing.

But the things they took out are real, and the food is not made by illusion.

Even after inspection, there should be no problem for human consumption.

However, as a prosecutor, it is never wrong to doubt. With such a good thing, it would be great to come directly to work for the Beiyan country. Military operations and emergency disaster relief require a lot of food. The country needs such talents. In a larger country, Our platform can have better development prospects, but just preaching in rural areas, isn’t it a bit overkill?That would be a pity.

If the things of the Earth God Sect are really effective, even the household entry department, which is in charge of money and food, will have a place, let alone others.

Chen Zheng didn't act with great fanfare, but was going to investigate first to see what the Earth God Sect was.

Because many people in the Procuratorate have missions, Chen Zheng did not lead the large force this time, but was going to take a look by himself.

Jinse still needs to be handed over the management of the different members of the Procuratorate, and at the same time, people have to keep an eye on her to avoid accidents.

To be able to look at Jinse well, it might be Yan Luo, Tao Hua and other chivalrous men summoned from Goldfinger.

Stay safe.

Chen Zheng didn't want to plant a flag for himself, but just went to investigate. If he didn't intend to do anything, there shouldn't be any risk.

For this reason, it is necessary to pretend to be a casual cultivator in the rivers and lakes to see.

The spread of Earth God Religion is still very wide, but it also has a place of origin, a place called Shiqiao Village in Jianzhou.

The number of people is quite large, there are dozens of households with hundreds of people up and down, it is considered a relatively large village.

It is said that it was the first place visited by people from the Earth God Religion.

They still didn't believe it at the beginning, but soon after the people of the Earth God Sect showed various methods, they gradually agreed.

After all, these people of the Earth God Sect did not cheat money or sex, nor did they have big fish and meat. They worked with the people and engaged in production, which was different from the kind of charlatans who only knew how to speak.

So the reliability is very high.

And these people of the Earth God Sect did not directly live in the village, but built it by themselves with wood, sand, etc., and took this opportunity to show the people the construction techniques of the Earth God Sect .

It's nothing more than turning mud into stone.

If you are a martial artist, you can easily see that this is just a way of applying vitality.

It's not particularly miraculous, and it's somewhat wasteful to use the precious vitality not to fight against the enemy, but to transform the soil.

If it is a tall city wall, it is okay to say, but in fact it is an ordinary dwelling.

This is something already known.

The words on the intelligence are just words after all, and the specific situation should be discussed after careful observation at the scene of the fact.

Chen Zheng changed into the clothes of a casual martial artist, and at the same time put on his disguise mask. The image of a black man who hadn't used it for a long time reappeared. At this moment, Chen Zheng disappeared temporarily. The one who appeared in front of everyone was Chen Da. .

After rushing all the way, Chen Zheng came to the vicinity of Shiqiao Village in a hurry.

The dust on his body is not small, he is really a casual martial artist on his way, he looks very real, the kind that doesn't need to be overly disguised.

Not to mention that the environment near Shiqiao Village is not bad.

There is a small river itself, and there is a stone bridge built in an unknown age on the river, so it is also called Stone Bridge Village.

The river under the bridge is not rushing, it is crystal clear, and swimming fish can be seen.

The land is flat and open, and it is a good place for agricultural production. No wonder it can easily support dozens of households.

It is also a treasure land of geomantic omen for the common people who are farming.

Before entering the village, Chen Zheng saw the busy villagers in the field, and at the same time found small wooden statues placed by them in the field.

According to Chen Zheng's inquiry, I heard that it is an earth god statue, and placing it in the field can ensure the soil is fertile, and there is still light at night, which can drive away mosquitoes and the like, and prevent the food from being affected by diseases and insect pests.

Chen Zheng felt it carefully, there was a bit of heaven and earth vitality, but it was just attached to the statue and didn't have the effect as imagined, it should be mostly bragging.

This is far from reaching the means of affecting land production, and it is just a display.

Chen Zheng also received the attention of the villagers of Shiqiao Village.

The common people are kind-hearted and relatively simple.

Seeing warriors like Chen Zheng on their way, someone came up to say hello.

He was a man in his 30s, with a bookish look on his body, wearing ordinary clothes, with kind eyes and kind eyes, he looked like a good man.

He took the initiative to speak to Chen Zheng, "This brother has been away for a long time, why don't you come to my house to drink some water and take a break."

Are the villagers of Shiqiao Village so hospitable?Chen Zheng was a little surprised, just as he agreed, the brother approached Chen Zheng and said in a low voice.

"Brother, don't go into the village, if this is not the only way you have to go, just take a detour." The middle-aged man warmly reminded.

"What's wrong with this old man? I have to pass through Shiqiao Village when I'm going to Shi County. If there is an urgent matter, I can't delay it. Is there something abnormal happening in the village? I see that there is nothing wrong with the surrounding situation." Chen Zheng was a little curious, there seemed to be something tricky about it.

And the middle-aged man looked around and saw that no one else was there, so he pulled Chen Zheng aside and said.

"Brother, it sounds like your accent is not from a local, you are from another place. You don't know that the village is not as good as you see it now."

The middle-aged man persuaded Chen Zheng earnestly.

"Brother, do you mean the Earth God Sect? I heard that the Earth God Sect helps the common people to have a good harvest, and shares joys and sorrows with the people. It should be a very good belief. Why is the village not allowed to enter?" Chen Zheng was a little puzzled, and happened to be The young man asked if there was any news that could be used.

"There is indeed nothing wrong with what the Earth God Sect does, but everyone only sees their good side and ignores other aspects." The middle-aged man looked bitter and resentful.

"What's the matter, brother, I remember that you don't need the common people to give them incense money and the like, as long as you have a sincere faith?"

"Brother, you know a lot. It seems that you have made a lot of preparations for coming here. I'm afraid it's not just passing by." This middle-aged man is obviously not an uninformed person, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility, My heart also stabilized.Then, the middle-aged man talked about the changes of the Earth God Sect in Shiqiao Village.

The spread of the Tushen Religion followed the routines that Chen Zheng knew and there was nothing unusual about it. Gradually, the people's wariness dropped and they began to practice devout faith.

This time slowly changed.

Because many people find that relying on the prayers of the Earth God religion really has an effect on the heaven and the earth, so they naturally trust them more.

Praying every day, the growth of the crops in this field is getting better and better.

Even a horrible thing happened, even if you don't farm the land, you just need to pray to the earth god with peace of mind.You can harvest your own crops.

Many people may think that this is a good thing. You don’t need to work on your own, and you only need to gain something through your own devout beliefs. This deal seems to be very good.

But one thing is that fanatical beliefs can change people's minds and even affect their behavior.

Now some people in Shiqiao Village eat, sleep and pray every day.

As for work?What kind of farm work, as long as you believe in the earth god, you can have enough food. If you are honored to be selected by the earth god, you can also learn various spells. At that time, you will be a walking humanoid fertilizer, and you need to worry about eating Not full.

No matter men, women, young or old, many people are already in this state.

The mental state is no longer normal.

It's completely a two-point and one-line life, and you are like an earth god when you open your mouth and shut your mouth.

Even if a normal person has faith, he will not open his mouth and shut his mouth about his belief, and he will not let other people control it, and he will even pull other people to have the same behavior standard as himself.

This is true for your own family, let alone others.

Fanaticism for no reason, as if disrespecting the earth god will do whatever.

There are even a group of fanatics who pray every day in the small temple built by the people of the Earth God, and do not come out for several days. If the place is not open and transparent, many people even think that they mysteriously disappeared or encountered accident.

They are sincerely releasing their sincerity towards the earth god.

It's just that there are no sober people in the village. Some people think that these villagers are bewitched. They have seen the magic of the Earth God Sect, but generations of ancestors have warned future generations that no one gets something for nothing.

Especially for ordinary residents like them who are farming and hygienic, the land is their living space, and if they don't work, they will have nothing to eat.

The increase in production and income of the Earth God religion is a good thing.But you can't just give up working because of this. Can you really think that you can live your whole life relying on the Earth God Religion, and let your descendants live in the Earth God Religion temple every day in the future, without mastering any basic skills of life?That's a bit too exaggerated.

This is not life, one generation is fine, if a few generations come down, it is not useless, the people of the Earth God Sect say that some excellent seedlings will become members of the Earth God Sect, but they are not talking about everyone, this It also means that after all, some people will not be successfully accepted and how will they live.

Not to mention that this obsession, bordering on pathological, is in no way right.

And recently, there have been men and women missing one after another, not anyone else, they are all villagers from the former Shiqiao Village, and they all believe in the earth god very well. I have taken a fancy to further study and further study, but those whose family members are missing will definitely not believe it, but they can't produce evidence, and they can't accuse the people of the Earth God Sect for doing wrong. Facing those thugs, these sane people still Those who dare not do it.They tried to go to the county seat for help.This Shiqiao Village is under the management of Shixian County.

It's just that they went to complain and found nothing.

The people in the county don't care, they have a very high possibility of being related to the Earth God Sect.The last time there was a connection, it was just to let them go home and live a good life, it was not too much behavior.

The county seat is already the farthest place for this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's real name is Zhang Liang.He is a farmer who cultivates the land. Because his family conditions are not bad, he has read books for several years and can recognize some characters. He has learned how to dig herbs and a few simple prescriptions. He also works part-time as a doctor in the village.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liang often travels between county towns and villages, and it is not that he has not seen big scenes.

I was fortunate enough to see a Dharma meeting organized by Buddhist monks. The scene was full of faithful men and women, and there was no such thing as the Earth God Sect.No matter how you look at it, it is not normal, and it is confusing.

He suspected that those missing people had something to do with the Earth God Sect, but most people in the village would obey the Earth God Sect mage, so not many people thought it was unusual and thought it was reasonable.

Only a few people such as Zhang Liang did not believe it.

However, the Earth God Sect did not take any action against them, so they have been secretly observing and hoping to get suitable evidence and go to bigger cities to seek help.

What Zhang Liang is doing now is to try his best to prevent strangers from entering the village or even going to the county town to prevent anyone from falling into the wrong path.
