In the Blade

When Du Chengfeng came out of the bathroom, Zheng Qixing followed him.

It was obvious that Zheng Qixing was very concerned about the so-called Maitreya who was hiding in the dark. Although he was a little reserved in his words, he was trying to find out about the Maitreya from Du Chengfeng. Of course, he was very tactful and didn't ask about the secret method Du Chengfeng used. After all, everyone has some special skills.

In other words, Du Chengfeng's skills were really a bit confusing. Zheng Qixing knew the method of extracting memory, but it was the first time he saw someone extracting memory by scrubbing someone's bath.

Maybe it was some special personal hobby?

After all, there are people who are not even human beings...

"I always feel like you seem to be thinking about something impolite."

Looking at Zheng Qixing's constantly changing expression, Du Chengfeng vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. He had to say that he had a secret method that could not be seen by others. Zheng Qixing respected his statement and did not come to see it. But now it seems that he might as well tell his situation directly - after all, everyone has a method to hide in the bottom of the box, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more memory of extracting weapons. After all, his current strength is not derived from this, so he can just say it directly.

"Anyway... there is not much information about the rebirth Maitreya."

Shaking his head, Du Chengfeng decided to talk about business first.

All he could see was that the rebirth Maitreya had a potential sect. As for more, which was the part that Zheng Qixing was concerned about, he didn’t know.

But at least it can be seen that the other party is not a mediocre hand. If it weren’t for the coincidence that this time, they just bumped into Du Chengfeng’s face, they might not even know the existence of this name.

"Be careful anyway, I think he is up to something."

Thinking of the crazy experiences he had seen before, Du Chengfeng thought for a moment and still gave a warning.

Although it was true that the incense head did everything himself, Du Chengfeng always felt that there was something wrong with the Maitreya itself - after all, he still remembered that Huode Xingjun had said before that they might wander around on the ground, but they would never actively spread any power.

On the surface, the Maitreya did not seem to actively spread any power, but in reality... at least he did not deliberately suppress it.

And this was also proved in the following inspections.

It was not enough to just knock down an incense head. After all, the incense head could only be said to be a part of the sect, or even a small part. The people did not burn incense in just one family, but actually went to many places to burn incense - so after those people who were knocked unconscious woke up, Du Chengfeng followed the clues and tried to catch the big fish hidden behind.

But in the process, he encountered obstacles.

Not all believers are as incompetent as the previous incense head. Many believers are actually quite capable. In addition, they don't think much, and they don't even have many thoughts. This directly leads to the fact that the power they exert is far stronger than that incense head who has wild thoughts. That incense head will still think before and after doing something, but these believers don't need to. They will really rush over with swords just because of a wrong look.

"Sure enough... there is something wrong with the sect of Rebirth Maitreya."

After knocking down the fifteenth crazy believer with the scabbard, Du Chengfeng, who had been busy for several days, took a deep breath.

Although each believer seems to be an individual case, the reasons for taking action are not exactly the same, the incense they burn is not even the same, and the gods they worship are not all named after Rebirth Maitreya - but this set of organizational patterns for burning incense and worshiping gods is so familiar. Obviously, these are all methods of changing soup but not medicine, and every crazy believer is not crazy because of evil spirits, but because of mental power.

Wherever there is a trace of Rebirth Maitreya, mental crazy people will flood there.

"It looks like he is spreading the Dharma intentionally, but what good is this for him?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head. Things began to become a little confusing for him, just because from the perspective of a great power, this kind of spreading of the Dharma is meaningless - after all, this can't even be called a Taoist tradition, it's just a simple stirring of people's hearts, not something that a great power would do.

"At least it's not good for them."

Du Chengfeng thought so.

No benefit, but trouble. After exposing the matter of the Rebirth Maitreya, Du Chengfeng, the head of the police, finally had work to do - people were arrested in batches and put into jail. Those people related to the Rebirth Maitreya were all found by him one by one. Of course, out of humanitarian considerations, Du Chengfeng did not do the kind of thing that killed them all, but a lesson was always inevitable.

However, just when Du Chengfeng was busy, the county lord who had not appeared for a long time found him.

"Hero, stop for a while."

Looking at Du Chengfeng, who was two circles stronger than himself, the county lord hesitated for a while and still spoke.

"This matter is of great importance, heroes should either..."

"Why do you have to stop?"

Du Chengfeng was puzzled.

"Isn't it my job to deal with this sect?"

This is really his responsibility. Such strange beliefs in the countryside must be recognized by the government before they can be worshiped normally. Otherwise, it is an evil law. The government has the power to get rid of these things - and This is what Du Chengfeng is doing now, and this is indeed his responsibility.

But in front of him, the county official shook his head.

"That's pretty much it. They didn't really do anything."

Having said this, the county magistrate sighed,

"There are so many people arrested that the city can hardly function normally... They don't do much, they just burn incense. If you don't let them burn incense, what can you do? Read the sages' books?"

"Ah this."

Hearing this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look up at the county magistrate in front of him.

It was at this time that he realized that although the county magistrate looked tall and powerful, his gentle and elegant temperament made him look more like a scholar than a warrior.

"So you are..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but slap his head.

He had forgotten this incident.

If we talk about manipulating people's hearts, the school of Maitreya in the Rebirth that requires the use of drugs has to be pushed to the back. The truly powerful school is standing in front of him right now - these so-called scholars who read the books of sages are the ones who manipulate people's hearts. Masters, although they have not come into contact with mental power, their methods are obviously more sophisticated than this so-called madness.

So from this perspective, it can be understood that in the eyes of the county magistrate, it is a good thing for these people to burn incense. At least nothing will be burned by burning incense, but if the people don't even burn incense , if they all start running to read...

To the county magistrate, a scholar, it was probably as scary as a martial artist seeing the common people pick up swords.

The evil weapons must be properly kept, and the methods used by scholars must naturally be put on the shelf. These powerful people among the common people consciously control the spread of power, and have no intention of letting it spread widely.

From this perspective, what is the difference between earth and heaven?

"Then I'll quit now."

Du Chengfeng sighed. He also felt that he had arrested too many people recently.

"But you have to find something for the people in the town to do. Otherwise, if they just burn incense, God knows what they will do... Do you agree with this?"

"That's true."

The county official also nodded.

"So I decided to find a few gentlemen to come over and enlighten the people."

"Enlightenment?"

Du Chengfeng touched his chin.

This so-called enlightenment, that is, teaching people to read and read, is just like what old Ruan Shantao did in the academy of Ziyang Mountain. This seems to be a good thing - but here is the problem. But there is a bit of a conflict with what the county magistrate just said.

The county magistrate had just said before that he did not intend to let the people read the books of sages. Although he did not say it clearly, Du Chengfeng could also see that it was because it was related to the spread of power... But now why is it time to lose his temper? Woolen cloth? Is there any explanation between this?

Facts have proved that Du Chengfeng's prediction was right, and there is indeed something in it.

"Enlightenment is enlightenment, and studying is studying. These are two things."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still had doubts on his face, the county magistrate simply said a few more words.

"Don't worry hero, nothing will happen."

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly, he wanted to see what this enlightenment was all about.

Perhaps because there were no more bandits outside the city, several teachers were quickly invited over. After talking secretly with the county magistrate for a whole afternoon, these teachers also started their teachings - the people were quite interested. These teachers were very interested. After all, in their eyes, being able to read, read, and even write articles was something worth bragging about.

However, these teachers did not mean to teach them to write articles. They were only teaching them to read and read. As for the content of the teachings, they were nothing more than some great principles such as loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness.

At least from the sounds of it, there is no power at all.

"this……"

After listening to several lectures, Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded.

He vaguely realized what the county magistrate was going to do.

Originally, he thought that most of the scholars in this world were the ones he had seen before. They were insidious and cunning, trying to stir up his thoughts at every turn. Facing such an opponent, it was best to shoot them to death as soon as they came up, otherwise they would really Asking the other party to open his mouth will always bring some trouble - but what he is seeing now is completely different. This kind of pure promotion of some great principles, even if it is Ruan Shantao, who is famous for his integrity. The old man can't even do it.

Although Du Chengfeng has never listened to Old Ruan's class, he has polished Old Ruan's Founder's Sword, so he also knows that although this old man seems to be stubborn, he is actually very adaptable and knows how to do things. , otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to rise all the way up, or even reach a high position.

In other words, although the sages' books cannot make people feel evil, they can still make people develop their abilities. What's more, old man Ruan Shantao, for example, can not even use evil spirits, but can hone his skills by just being righteous. Produce the same power as the mind.

But now...

What these teachers teach is incomplete.

There are flaws in what they teach. They only teach the apparent truth, but they don’t teach what the truth is and how to use it. This means that even if the people listen to these things, , and cannot achieve any power through cultivation.

That's what they heard, that's all.

Or maybe it's not just that, these so-called principles will even affect their subsequent behavior. After all, in their eyes, what these teachers say will definitely not be wrong - in other words, they will I feel that the world should operate according to these principles, and this is how the world should be.

"This... how can we do anything if we only rely on these so-called principles?"

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

"This isn't a pure waste of time...wait."

Du Chengfeng patted his head and suddenly thought of something.

It seems like this is really a waste of time.

Just to waste time, this is what the county official wants to do. The county official has never thought that anything can be achieved by relying on these teachers. The county official’s purpose from the beginning is to waste the time of these people - just Wasting a few days and months may not be a big deal, but what if this time continues until years, decades, or even a lifetime are wasted?

A lifetime has been wasted, and time has just passed by. These people who once burned incense and believed in religion have already died in the grave in a daze. From a long-term perspective, this county official has indeed solved the county's crisis, and can even be said to have perfectly solved this huge hidden danger.

His methods are far superior to Du Chengfeng's method of arresting people in prison.

"Really...you really can't underestimate anyone!"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but patted his chest. Fortunately, he had previously thought that the county magistrate, who was an ordinary person, was too weak. Not only could he not do anything, he even did such pedantic things - but now it seems that this The county official clearly had his own plans in mind, and he handled the matter far more beautifully than he did.

"But this kind of thing..."

Although the county magistrate did indeed solve the problem, Du Chengfeng felt a little bit regretful in his heart - just because although the county magistrate's approach seemed to be okay, in fact, he still used a soft knife to kill people. , these people's lives were completely wasted.

This was actually not Du Chengfeng's original intention. He didn't arrest people just to behead them. If he just wanted to kill people, he could have just chopped them all off on the spot without arresting anyone.

Maybe he actually wants to do something. After all, this thing is nothing to him. Within the scope of his ability, he will naturally have some compassion.

"Why do you feel like you're getting together with that guy with the fragrant head?"

Du Chengfeng had a vague feeling that something was not right.

The thought that arose in his mind was obviously not his.
