Dawn of a New Era

Chen Shouyi could hear the whispers of a couple ten kilometers away, and he could also see pedestrians on the road a hundred kilometers away like a reconnaissance satellite, and feel the slightest dust hitting his skin.

At the same time, the keen perception can even reach more than ten meters underground.

It's just that as long as these complicated information are not explosive or arouse his interest, he rarely pays attention to it deliberately, and he has long been used to it.

When he turned around, he saw an old woman in black cloth shoes with a trembling body. She was holding a broom in her hand, her eyes were dim and vigilant.

She looked like an ordinary woman.

Grandma, I heard that this place is very effective, so I came here to pay my respects. Chen Shouyi said with a smile.

The old woman immediately lost her vigilance when she heard the words, and said enthusiastically:

It's very effective. Many neighboring villages here have built Guanyin temples for sending children. Let me tell you, there is a couple in our village. They have been married for ten years and have no children. They have seen all kinds of hospitals and taken all kinds of medicines. However, I couldn’t get pregnant no matter what, but after worshiping the Bodhisattva, I became pregnant immediately, and gave birth to twin twins.”

This is really a Bodhisattva helping, not...anyone else.

Chen Shouyi cursed in his heart, and looked at the statue. This was already a standard statue, exuding a faint aura of majesty. In the dark, he could see a goddess with a baby in her arms, half naked, and a graceful posture, floating above the statue, overlooking all living beings .

He narrowed his eyes slightly: This is definitely a savage Li Daitao.

He turned around and asked, Is it really so effective?

You will know when you say goodbye, but you must be sincere and come to say goodbye every day, and your wife will be pregnant soon. The old woman vowed.

But first there must be a wife.

I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't buy incense. I'll come back tomorrow. Chen Shouyi made an excuse.

A hint of shrewdness appeared on the old woman's face: I have incense at home, do you want it? The small incense costs two yuan and three sticks, and the big incense costs ten yuan and three sticks.

hehe!

I didn't bring any money. Chen Shouyi directly sacrificed his weapon.

...

Chen Shouyi didn't do anything,

Leaving the village, I was not in a hurry to go home and wandered around.

He found that many villages here were surrounded by similar belief fields.

During the three years of the war, the population of the Great Xia Kingdom has decreased by at least 200 million, most of which are still male and young, so that the entire society now encourages childbearing, prohibits the production of contraceptive drugs and contraceptive products, lowers the age limit for marriage, and has various methods for giving birth to children. a government subsidy.

Speaking of which, although technology is retrogressing, most people’s life is limited to food and clothing, but the pressure of having children is reduced. There are no high housing prices, and there are no various cram schools in full swing, plus business restrictions under wartime conditions , the whole society seems to have returned to the 1970s and 1980s.

And this one is obviously a savage god whose priesthood is related to fertility.

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly.

He has seen a lot of barbarian gods, such as the god of hunting, the god of conspiracy, and the god of light. They all use violence to conquer first, show their power, and then spread their beliefs. It's unseen, unheard of.

A direct conquest, an indirect penetration.

The latter is more concealed, and moistens things silently.

Who would doubt that a temple enshrining Songzi Guanyin is a barbarian god behind it. The key is that even if the temple is destroyed, it may be difficult to completely eliminate it.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Chen Shouyi stopped wandering around and rushed home quickly.

Walking on the street, I passed an incense shop.

Chen Shouyi noticed that there was a Guanyin holding a baby inside. This image of Guanyin was quite different from before. It didn't have the rich and round shape of traditional Buddha statues, but looked soft and charming, like an eighteen-year-old girl.

He walked into the shop and asked the shop owner inside, What kind of Buddha statue is this?

Avalokitesvara, Avalokitesvara for sending a child! The shop owner looked up at him and said.

Why is it different from the previous one? Chen Shouyi asked.

The new one, some people like this kind of one, I heard it is very effective, few people buy the old one. The store owner said with a smile: Would you like to buy one, it only costs 50 yuan.

...

Chen Shouyi walked out of the shop with a statue, got on his bicycle, saw a trash can in front of him, threw the statue away, and returned home soon.

...

After more than half a month of emergency repairs, the power and communication in Zhonghai City have been restored.

After dinner, Chen Shouyi called the senior city official's office to inform him of the matter.

It's no small matter if it involves Manshen, and the city government attaches great importance to it, not to mention Mr. Chen personally calling.

Immediately, personnel were sent overnight to investigate, and it turned out that the situation was quite serious. There were three towns affected, and the number of people involved was as high as 100,000 to 200,000.

The most frightening thing is that this kind of thing happened under the nose of the government, completely unaware.

Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi was asked to sit at the scene.

...

Town government compound.

There was a tinge of coolness in the air on a November morning.

Zhou Weiming, a senior official of Changqiao Township, stood at the end of the crowd, his forehead was covered with sweat. Among several affected towns, his town had the most serious cult activities.

He felt that the reason why he was still standing here was not because the higher-ups felt that he was extenuating, nor was it because he had just been transferred, but because the time was too short and the opinions on how to deal with him had not come down.

Cracking down on cults has always been the top priority of the government's work. In the area under his jurisdiction, he didn't know anything about such a big thing, so he couldn't absolve himself of the responsibility anyway.

But who would have thought that this is a cult, and it is a disaster without any reason.

He felt that he could still save it.

Come on, come on! someone whispered.

A small car drove up in the distance, Zhou Weiming's spirit lifted, he bowed subconsciously, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Zi!

The car stopped slowly.

Bai Xiaoling got out of the car, trotted and opened the rear door.

The car shook, and soon a handsome young man got out of the car, and a large group immediately went up to meet him.

I am Zhao Song from the 107th Division of the 15th Group Army. Welcome Mr. Chen to come and sit in the town. We are at ease with you here. An officer with the rank of major general saluted.

Mr. Zhao, please be polite.

...

Mr. Chen, I'm Zhou Weiming, a high-ranking town official here. After the people in front of him introduced themselves, Zhou Weiming approached him calmly: The meeting room has been arranged, and meetings can be held at any time.

Such a big man standing on the cloud, the dragon can see the head but not the tail, which is rarely seen at ordinary times, and he has no place to lick if he wants to.

Of course, this licking is also particular. You can't just lick it without thinking when you come up, and you have to lick the other person's itches.

Generally speaking, it is always right to let the leader hold a meeting.

Chen Shouyi was startled when he heard the words, and glanced at him. What kind of meeting is there?

Go to the meeting, I won't attend.
