Chapter 96 The truth?
It takes time to achieve mastery, and it takes time to find shortcuts.
Jiang Zhou could only honestly explore and comprehend the Tianyi Yuanshen Dafa word by word.
Gradually, the whole person became a little dazed and disoriented. Everything in front of him was dark and he didn't know where he was.
At this time, a ray of sunlight shone through the window paper, breaking the darkness in front of his eyes and making his eyes feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Its daybreak……?"
Jiang Zhou felt a little confused. He hadn't even read a few sentences of the scriptures, and yet an entire night had passed?
“Dang! Dangdang—”
Only when the gong sounded did he confirm that it was really daybreak.
He stood up from the bed and stretched his muscles.
Jiang Zhou thought that his muscles and bones would be sore after sitting in bed all night.
However, I found that not only was there no sour feeling, but my muscles actually trembled with movement.
He tried shaking his arms and legs, and his tendons vibrated like bowstrings, and it seemed that every move he made had the power to smash the monument and shatter the rocks.
He twisted his waist, and a nimble and jumping force ran through his entire spine and spread to his limbs and bones, making him feel as comfortable as if he had drunk a sip of ice water in the dog days of summer.
“Hu…hiss…”
The hot breath was exhaled and inhaled between the mouth and nose, and it seemed as if clouds were forming.
“Hiss~!”
This time he really took a deep breath.
This is what the scriptures refer to as “tendons like big bows” and “strength of dragons and tigers”.
Although the foundation of Yuanshen Dafa is to cultivate Yuanqi Zhenshen, it is not just about cultivating Taoism and practicing magic power. It is also unlike some books he read in the Sutra Library. Some practitioners only cultivate the soul and not the body, and only cultivate the nature and not the destiny.
The following passage from the Shangqing Zhenjing quoted in Dafa says: Essence is the source of blood vessels and the spirit that guards the bones, so it is valued as a treasure; Qi is the clouds of muscles and the real substance of solid form, so it is valued as life.
If one can nourish Qi with skill, it can be transformed into essence; if one can nourish essence with virtue, it can be transformed into spirit; if one can nourish spirit in the right way, it can be transformed into one's body, and one can live forever.
Only when essence, energy and spirit are combined, and both nature and life are possessed, can one achieve eternal life.
The problem is, it’s only been one night and he hasn’t understood anything yet, so how come he feels like he’s been reborn?
This is reaching the state of successful refining of essence as mentioned in the scriptures.
Not only that, he now felt refreshed, as if he had just taken a Yin Ling Pill.
"Treasure Scripture, Treasure Scripture..."
Jiang Zhou murmured to himself, this was truly a treasure.
"when!"
The last gong sounded and woke him up.
He put these thoughts behind him, quickly sorted out his things, hurried out, rushed to the grievance room, and began to sit in court to hear the case.
I was looking through and sorting out the files to be processed today, preparing to summon the victims for questioning, when I suddenly saw Jin Jiu walk in.
"What's this?"
As soon as Jin Jiu arrived, he handed him a booklet. Jiang Zhou took it and asked a question.
Jin Jiu laughed softly and said, "This is the details of the evil Buddha case. I know you are concerned about this case, so I brought it to you to see."
Jiang Zhou asked doubtfully, "Can you get this thing ?"
The evil Buddha is a fourth-grade demon, and everything about it should not be something that a patrolling demon guard can touch.
If You Xu hadn't revealed it to him, he would have never known the twists and turns.
Even so, You Xu only gave him a general idea and did not reveal any details to him.
Jin Jiu glanced around and whispered, "I wrote this myself. Do you think that evil Buddha could have unknowingly developed so many evil temples in the countryside? Is it so easy to find them?"
"Someone provided a clue, saying that they saw a group of strange people in gold and silver clothes carrying a sedan chair in the middle of the night. There were cries coming from the sedan chair. The man thought it was a demon harming people, so he hid in his home for a day and a night in fear. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he came to report the case."
"It just so happened that I took over this case. Who would have thought that it was related to this evil Buddha? So I know the general situation of what happened. It's all in here. Although it's not complete, just take a look and don't think about it anymore."
Do you think I'm still struggling and feeling uneasy?
Do I really look so kind?
Jiang Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said sincerely, "Thank you very much."
"Why should we thank each other? Let's go."
Jin Jiu smiled, waved his hand and left.
Jiang Zhou's eyes fell on the booklet and he slowly flipped through it.
After a while, it closed again.
His brows furrowed slightly.
This case was far more complicated than he thought.
In fact, several cases that he had heard of when he was a knifeman were involved in this case.
The case of the evil temple in Liujiazhuang, the case of bartering gold and silver into ghost paper at Nanmen Market, and several other cases involving strange events that have yet to be resolved.
According to what was written in Jin Jiu's booklet, the Golden Evil Buddha had already been secretly accumulating incense.
It was able to develop so many believers in a short period of time, and the means it used were very simple and crude, but very effective.
Just use money to attack.
This money is not worldly money, but money for incense and the dead.
I don't know what means were used to transform these incense and paper money into gold and silver, and reward them to the common people in the countryside.
Since the people gained substantial benefits, it was natural for them to become believers.
By worshipping the gods and Buddhas and burning some incense sticks, you can get gold and silver that you may never earn in your entire life. Who wouldn’t want that?
The more benefits they receive, the more devout their faith becomes.
The development speed is also extremely rapid.
Just according to what is written in this booklet, Jin Jiu personally participated in destroying evil shrines in four villages, and the number of the rest is still unknown.
The bridal sedan that Jin Jiu mentioned was actually from Xiaoxi Village.
After reading the information recorded in this booklet, Jiang Zhou resolved many of his doubts, but also had new ones.
One of them is related to this sedan chair.
Evil Buddhas not only give away wealth, but also collect it.
Ordinary believers only receive a small portion of the paper money.
Most of it went into the hands of those believers who were carefully selected.
Most of these people are businessmen who are already quite wealthy.
Such as Dou Anhe.
Through them, ghost money is circulated into the market, which can rapidly expand their business, and then they can exchange it for a large amount of real gold and silver.
This was the reason why Dou Anhe suddenly became rich a few years ago and his businesses spread across counties and prefectures in Nanzhou.
One of the channels for these wealthy families to obtain large amounts of incense and paper money is through marriage.
When a woman marries off her daughter, a small golden Buddha statue will be brought into her husband's home with her .
Basically, those who marry the daughter of a follower of evil Buddha will eventually become a follower of the Buddha.
Believers who marry off their daughters can receive a large sum of ghost money as a betrothal gift.
At the same time, new believers were also developed.
It can be said to be extremely covert and effective.
The Liujiazhuang that was destroyed before was Dou Anhe's in-laws.
After Liujiazhuang was destroyed, Dou Anhe was still greedy. He selected a distant relative in Xiaoxizhuang, adopted the eldest daughter of his relative as his daughter, and then married her off, hoping to develop a new evil temple to obtain more gold and silver as a betrothal gift.
The daughter of that family was the bride in the sedan chair that was spotted by the person who reported the case.
She is also the older sister of the little girl he met in Xiaoxi Village.
However, there are many doubts in the process of marriage...
