Chapter 165: Li Er wants to sacrifice to heaven?Li Yuanji shot

There is a small county in the northwest of Luoyang, named Hanoi County, which is now Qinyang County, Henan Province!

This year, there was a severe drought in the north of the Tang Dynasty. Although Qinyang is close to the Yellow River, it has not been able to escape the bad luck!

It's just slightly better than other places, with [-]% of the food and [-]% of the food kept!Moreover, the water source here has not been exhausted, so there is no locust plague!

Because of this, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After the harvest, the local people thought of offering sacrifices to the heavens to thank them!

Everyone said that there was a severe drought in the whole country this year, but it was better to be close to the Yellow River. Since the imperial court said that this is a test from heaven, then it is to keep hands on the people on both sides of the Yellow River!Therefore, it is even more appropriate to set up a platform to worship the heavens!

So coincidentally, a Taoist expert was invited by someone with a heart, with profound Taoism, who presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens and could be listened to by Datian, which is the most suitable!

So the people of Hanoi County didn't need to organize, and they came forward to set up a stage outside the city to prepare for the sacrifice!

The local county magistrate saw that although it was clearly ordered by the court that it was not time to worship the heavens, the public anger could not be committed, and the people had no malice in offering sacrifices to the heavens to thank them, so they let it go!

The fanfare in Hanoi County quickly spread, mobilizing the surrounding counties and villages, as long as they were on both sides of the Yellow River and the disaster was not serious, they all followed suit and offered sacrifices to heaven!

These places have one thing in common, that is, a Taoist priest who knows how to worship the heavens appeared at just the right time, some of whom are great witches from the south. High!

The Taoist priest in Hanoi County is named Master Lu. Due to the enthusiasm of the people in Hanoi, Master Lu finally agreed to start the ceremony with the people in the surrounding villages, and then return to the county to preside over the largest ritual ceremony , to show solemnity!

This also shows that our human race is becoming more and more sincere in offering sacrifices to the heavens, and the sacrifices are getting richer and richer from small to large. God must be more and more delighted!

This day, God Master Lu is presiding over the ceremony of worshiping heaven on the altar in the south of Hanoi!

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

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

Seeing that the Taoist was chanting something, he quickly tied up the special magic talisman on the table with the mahogany sword in his hand, lit it on the incense candle, and then threw it towards the sky, and there was a thunder!Everyone only saw a ball of fire appearing, and then the magic talisman turned into a cloud of smoke and flew upwards into the sky!

Wow!God Master Lu is very capable!God opened his eyes!

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

But at this moment, an untimely voice sounded!

"Bah! So this is the method of the gods? I can do it too!"

I saw a rough big man, dressed as a beggar, rushing to the altar quickly!

Then a group of little beggars also came to the stage and shouted: "Folks, this man is a liar, his magic methods are fake, we beggars all know why, he is cheating our money, he can't communicate with heaven at all!"

"Who are you? Why did you come to disturb the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens? The poor Taoist sincerely came to help the people to sacrifice to the heavens, how could you be a liar?

Folks, hurry up and drive these lunatics down, don't offend the heavens and bring down disasters! "The Taoist said hastily.

The people in the audience have long cast their eyes on the five bodies that God Master Lu admires. How can others be allowed to profane, let alone a group of beggars?

Immediately, several people shouted to come up to do it!Everyone below also scolded the beggar for being unscrupulous!

Seeing this, the old and rough beggar knew that it was difficult to persuade these people, so he stopped talking, quickly took out the paper bag he had made in his arms, lit it with the incense candle on the altar, and threw it at the sky as well!

boom!

There was a loud noise and a white smoke!

In an instant, the people in the audience were quiet!The people rushing to the stage stopped, and even Master Nalu opened his mouth wide open!

Everyone is thinking, how is this possible?

At this time, the beggar said, "Folks, this Taoist is a fake Taoist, who specializes in cheating money, eating and drinking! His fairy method is just wrapping flint in paper. You see, even a beggar like me can do it." Woolen cloth!

He used such means to lie to everyone that he could go to Datian Listening, how could it be possible?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be okay for me to be a beggar?

Everyone, anyone who doesn't believe it can come up and try it, beggars, I still have a lot of these things in my hand, and it's really fun! "

At this time, Master Nalu panicked, "Don't deceive the crowd with your gossip! Folks, don't be fooled by these beggars, drive them away!"

As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are discerning!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!

"Let me try!" A strong man ignored the Taoist's words!

Boldly stepped onto the stage, took the paper bag from the hand of the beggar, lit the paper bag with the candle to worship heaven, and then threw it away under the beggar's instruction!

boom!

It was also a flash of fire, a stream of white smoke!

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

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

Master Nalu saw that the momentum was wrong, turned around and was about to step off the stage and run away, but a group of little beggars on the stage were not easy to mess with, they had already surrounded them!

"Dare to lie to our money? Kill him!"

The fake Taoist priest surnamed Lu was frightened half to death, so thousands of people yelled and beat him to death, I guess he will confess here today!

In the end, under the persuasion of everyone in the beggar gang, the common people just captured this man, sent him to the government for interrogation, and made him spit out his money!

But the money has long been taken away by the partner, and the fake Taoist himself doesn't know where that person has gone!

After interrogation, it was learned that there are a large number of fake Taoist priests like him living around Luoyang.

In the end, I taught everyone how to cheat, and at the same time, I sent a follower to earn money together. All the money collected was in charge of the follower, and at the same time, the follower was responsible for all food and drink expenses. It was agreed at the beginning that the final share will be shared together!

But it is obvious that everyone has been deceived!

In the end, the county magistrate was helpless. This guy couldn’t afford the money, and it was easy to cause gossip in his own county government. What should he do if he was misunderstood by the county government for stealing money?

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

The same scene, at the same time, also happened in other nearby places where sacrifices were being made, and the fake Taoist priests fell, either being beaten to death by the government or by the people!

The beggar gang investigated this matter clearly in advance, and kept their eyes on the followers of these fake Taoists. Elder Song of the beggar gang is a mature figure. He came to Luoyang to sit in town for this matter, so he knew they would run away. He has already dispatched capable disciples to catch up with this group of people one by one!

In the end, they found out that they went to the same place, which was Luoyang!

Make a decisive decision to lead someone to capture the culprit's chief culprit!

But when they arrived at the hiding place of those people, Elder Song pressed the disciples down, and hurriedly retreated after giving an order!
