Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 150 Like Sheep to the Slaughter
"In this area of Jining, within this county town, whether among the officials or the common people, setting aside the merchants and travelers coming from the north and south, the local residents are almost all divided into two factions: either fanatical gamblers of the Mi Long Casino, or fanatical believers of the Eastern Mahayana Temple."
"The immense power of wishes accumulated over so many years has finally reached the time for harvest. The Mi Long Casino is insatiably greedy, not knowing that it cannot consume everything it takes. Letting them corrupt the Daoist Association, corrupt the officials, corrupt the local nobles and landlords, was all for this moment."
"The wishes of one person are few, but the wishes of ten thousand are many!"
Xu Hongru opened his arms, welcoming these great wishes!
At this time, he began to feel triumphant.
That Ji Xiang may have gained the upper hand in verbal disputes, and perhaps even surpassed himself in magical strength, but so what? The people of the world believed in the Wenxiang Sect, even if they believed in the White Lotus Sect. No matter what deities they worshipped, they would never worship your orthodox methods!
The flourishing of evil arts is inevitably due to its flourishing factors and soil!
The decline of orthodox methods is inevitably due to its declining problems and reasons!
"Two thousand years ago, the techniques of the Penglai Fangshi were evil arts."
"Fourteen hundred years ago, the Yellow Turban Taiping was an evil art."
"Righteousness and evil change in accordance with the changes of the world! The Wenxiang Sect, in a hundred years, in a thousand years, may not be the orthodox method!"
At this moment, the gathered wishes had already reached a level above "ten thousand people"!
Ten thousand people is just a virtual number; ten thousand people are ten thousand people, one hundred thousand people are ten thousand people, one million people are still ten thousand people!
How many common people are there in this county town?
Perhaps one in ten people believes in a religious sect, which is not much, but at least eight out of ten local people are Mi Long gamblers!
And it was only in these recent years that the Wenxiang Sect had restrained itself somewhat. Otherwise, even the merchants and travelers coming from the north and south would be dragged into the temple for a good discussion of the sect's tenets. The reason for this restraint was the previous arrest by the government. The Wenxiang Sect's patriarch, Wang Sen, was caught and imprisoned, but he quickly bribed the officials who captured him with money and regained his freedom.
But because the limelight was too great, the Wenxiang patriarch was afraid of being imprisoned again, so he could only restrain the scope of his evangelism. At the same time, his son and this great disciple, who was also the third leader of the Wenxiang Sect, Xu Hongru, were in Hebei, Shandong, and other places, changing their identities, removing the Wenxiang Sect's outer garment, and putting on the clothes of the Fajiao.
And the remaining treasures were transferred to the Mi Long Casino. Xu Hongru showed weakness at the time, expressing his willingness to give most of the Wenxiang Sect's magic tools and treasures, especially a treasure corresponding to the Maitreya attribute, which could add to the treasures on Mi Long's Seven Treasure Platform, so as to complete the cultivation of the Seven Treasure Platform ascending to Buddhahood in advance.
This treasure was actually a Tang Dynasty prose manuscript, called *A Record of Painting Maitreya Ascending to the Tusita Heaven*.
There was a powerful wishful incantation on it, called: "May I, in the future life, with all sentient beings, ascend to the Tusita Heaven with Maitreya, and descend with the Compassionate One. Life after life, kalpa after kalpa, be with the Compassionate One; forever leave the cycle of birth and death, and finally attain the supreme path!"
As for the wonderful effects, they cannot be fully expressed!
This made Mi Long very happy. In fact, Xu Hongru just secretly sneered, this fat pig did not know that he was using the "cuckoo's nest" operation.
This religion, which was certified as "legal" by the local government, has now finally completely restored the original face of the Wenxiang Sect. After all, the name is just a guise... Of course, the difference between the Wenxiang Sect and the ordinary White Lotus Sect is that they do not worship the Eternal Mother, but respect the Supreme Old Lord.
From this point of view, it can rightfully wear the clothes of the folk Fajiao and wander around, collecting believers.
Why are you carrying the Fajiao's wardrobe?
It is because of religions like yours that the reputation of the Fajiao is ruined!
"Mi Long, a mere gambler, vainly tries to use evil arts to attain the fruit of Maitreya. What a joke! Even the White Lotus Sect can't attract anything down. Does a mere demon want to put on a kasaya and enjoy incense offerings?"
He even wants to borrow the skin to become a Buddha, truly taking himself for a descendant of Mara!
Now, these great wishes will become the capital for the Wenxiang Sect to rise again. Of course, first of all, these wishes are to be supplied to those big figures in the Li Shanhe.
And according to the agreement, a big figure from the Li Shanhe will cross over and have a good "chat" with that Arctic Grandmaster!
.........
Feng Menglong carried the little fox and ran wildly, fleeing this place of right and wrong.
And the treasures in the Seven Treasure Pavilion flew away in all directions, turning into countless beams of light, which made Mi Long furious, trying to stop them. But at this time, his aura was weak, and blood was constantly flowing from his seven orifices. It was precisely because he was forcibly interrupted at a critical moment of cultivation that he had to damage his vitality and Dao practice, and even his physical body was affected.
He grabbed a few streams of light and was about to stuff them into his mouth, not wanting these things to fly away, but those things shook violently. It was as if someone in the distance was calling them. Even if he swallowed them into his stomach, there was a loud bang, and they actually spewed out light from his seven orifices and re-entered the sky!
Mi Long could not catch them, could not trap them, and anger rose from his heart, and sorrow was born from his lungs.
Ji Xiang looked at the angry fat humanoid demon king, and the Inner Vision Divine Tablet gave a description:
[Mi Long: Righteous God (The local government has conferred the title, concealing its true nature and disposition, and reported it to the prefecture. Many officials have carefully assessed and promoted it to the Great Position of the Human Department).]
[God of the Underworld! Twenty-fifth grade of the Great Position of the Human Department! Mi Long sits high and skims the cream, leading to great wealth!]
[Human cultivation (fallen to): Yuanshen Realm!]
[There is a gambling god in the Underworld, known as Mi Long, and he has thousands of gambling ghosts under his command, all of whom are driven by him. When probing people about to be born, he asks Mi Long to make a flower seal and put it into the Heavenly Spirit Cover. Once this person falls into the womb, he is fond of gambling, and even a strict father and virtuous wife cannot save him!]
[This god has existed since ancient times. Perhaps he is wholeheartedly greedy for gambling, giving good food to others to eat, and letting others sleep with his beautiful wife, all of which is Mi Long's doing!]
[This god carries the incense of ten thousand people!]
The Inner Vision Divine Tablet was still floating with words, but at this time, Mi Long's angry voice affected Ji Xiang, briefly stopping him from watching the Inner Vision Divine Tablet.
This Mi Long Great King originally had the ability to bewitch the mind and interrupt other people's thoughts. At this time, the things he sacrificed, although the treasures in the Seven Treasure Pavilion had all flown away, he himself still had powerful wishes. After all, he had not been a casino boss for so many years for nothing!
Mi Long's voice was ferocious and angry, wanting to vent all his anger on Ji Xiang!
"Pigs and sheep enter the butcher's house, coming step by step to seek death!"
When Ji Xiang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes raised, and he laughed loudly:
"Well said! Isn't it just that I am the butcher's block and you are the pig and sheep! You are really coming step by step to seek death!"
"Worthy of you, seeing that you are no match for the poor Daoist, you even want to prepare your epitaph! The poor Daoist is very satisfied with this, and will never show mercy when I strike in a while. You endure it a little, it will hurt, but it will be over soon!"
