Chapter 3463 rootless duckweed
"What's wrong?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
There is still a wave of fluctuation in my heart. In the past few years, the scale of the Black Lotus Sect has grown larger and larger, and it also fully demonstrated its wisdom when besieging the city of Daqi.
It turns out that all this has something to do with Xiaoyu.
However, although the Black Lotus Sect developed rapidly in the past few years, its purpose was to help the vast number of poor people who were oppressed.
In a certain sense, it is indeed a very caring organization for poor people.
Because they led poor people in many places to fight against the local tyrants and evil gentry, opened warehouses to release grain, and helped the people regain their fields and houses that had been robbed by the landlords and bullies, as well as their wives and daughters who had been usurped by the landlords.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Xiaoyu frowned slightly, as if she was sorting out her thoughts and organizing words.
"In the past, the leader of the sect was not dead, and many of the ideas in the sect were beneficial to the people."
"The goal of our Black Lotus Sect is very clear, which is to overthrow the rule of the Daqi royal family, change the ownership of this country, and allow the common people to live a good life with ample food and clothing."
"For this reason, the leader, I, we have been working hard, so our Black Lotus can grow several times in just a few years,"
"In many places, as large as the capital, prefectures and counties, as small as a town, or even a small mountain village, there will be our branches, churches, and believers!"
"But since our leader, also known as General Tiangong, died of illness a year ago, the four elders in the church have been divided into two factions."
"The protectors and hall masters below are all working in their own ways."
"From that time on, the church began to fight openly and secretly. Without the support of the leader, I, a saint, would be nothing."
"Even though they were very respectful to me in the past, every time when I sat on the altar to convey my teachings, they all listened so devoutly,"
"Later I learned that these people were all using the guise of religious belief and the guise of saving the world to satisfy their own cliques and selfish interests."
"They strive for power and gain, and they are lustful. They ignore the lives and lives of the poor people, and even ignore the voices of the lower-level members of the church,"
"Go your own way and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals!"
"In the process of the struggle for power between two factions, or even several factions, I, a saint, was used as a facade and a sign, and was secretly attracted by them,"
"Each of them has promised benefits to me, and they want to use my words to unify the whole church, so that the vast number of low-level believers can voluntarily belong to their sect by believing in the saint..."
"I don't want to be like this. I feel that they are no different from those Daqi officials, squires, and bullies who bully our people."
"I don't want to be their mouthpiece. Since I can't dissuade them, I will never join them."
"So, I discussed with my father and planned to escape from the Black Lotus headquarters together,"
"My father told his best friend in the church about this plan. Unexpectedly, that friend betrayed my father."
"My father was hung on the altar, his eyes were gouged out, and his hands and feet were chopped off. Finally, a live iron was used to burn holes in his body one after another..."
"I escaped from the headquarters under the escort of the faction that supported me, and several elders sent people to hunt me down,"
"I fled all the way from Daliang Mountain on the border of Nanman to Licheng, and then to Jianye. When I arrived in Jianye, the last light guard around me was also killed,"
"If I hadn't met my benefactor, sister, you mother and son, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
"As long as I, the saint, die, they will get this jade ring from me, go back and pick an obedient virgin in the church, and then put her on the altar again and create the next saint, and then they will be bewitched.
The spiritual faith of thousands of congregants!”
Xiaoyu said, took out the jade ring finger from her body and put it on the table.
Yang Ruoqing reached out and took the jade ring in her hand, looking at it over and over again, her eyes full of novelty.
It is said that the Beggar Clan leader’s token is a dog-beating stick, and that of the Black Lotus Sect is a jade ring, but there is nothing special about this jade ring.
Jade is high-quality jade. It doesn't look unusual in appearance, and it doesn't have any special patterns or anything.
Even if you go to a gold, silver and jade shop, you might be able to find a jade ring that looks almost the same. How can something so ordinary seem to be a token of the Saint of the Black Lotus, an object that flaunts her identity?
"Mom, show me."
Chen'er on the side spoke out.
Yang Ruoqing put the jade ring in Chen'er's hand.
After Chen'er took it, he didn't put it in front of his eyes to look at it, but closed his eyes, put the jade finger to his ear, and listened attentively...
After listening to it with his left ear, he put it to his right ear again, and listened over and over again. After a while, Chen'er opened his eyes.
Picking up an ivory chopstick on the table, he gently tapped the jade finger.
At this time, the jade ring finger made a crisp ding-ding-dong-dong sound, as clear and sweet as raindrops.
"It's true, a token of the Saint of the Black Lotus."
Chen'er said with certainty and put the jade ring finger back on the table.
Yang Ruoqing had no doubts about Chen'er's judgment, because the child was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
She shifted her gaze from the jade finger to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, according to what you said, there are no guards around you now? Are the forces supporting you gone too?"
Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Yang Ruoqing, shaking her head slightly: "The power of the headquarters is gone, but the Black Lotus Sect has many branches and halls scattered throughout the country,"
"The power of the faction that is loyal to the leader and the saint is always there."
"It's just that this split started from the headquarters in Daliangshan. Many places down there may not have received the news yet."
Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded.
"Then what are your plans next? Are you going to find those who are loyal to the saint? Or what?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Xiaoyu shook her head with firm eyes.
"I don't want to go back to the Black Lotus anymore. I've seen through it all. This is actually a scam."
"It's just a group of people who are envious and jealous of the Qi royal family, so they want to overthrow the Qi family's empire and then establish their own empire,"
"Now that they haven't succeeded, their true face has been exposed. I've had enough. I don't want to be their pawn anymore!" she said.
"Okay, it's a good thing that you are determined to leave the Black Lotus Sect," Yang Ruoqing encouraged.
"Then do you have somewhere to go?" she asked again.
When asked about this, Xiaoyu looked confused.
Her father and mother were all dead, as were their relatives and friends, because during the massacre eight years ago, not only her village was massacred, but also several other small villages nearby.
Escape this disaster.
The only father was also brutally murdered when he escaped from the Black Lotus with her.
