These words contained a lot of information, and Xiao Yuening hurriedly asked: "Then where is the general forum?"

"The main altar is naturally the place where the God Muting Ceremony is held." The old man Zhao said, looking at Xiao Yuening with wary eyes, warning with a serious face: "Let me tell you, you are not a senior member yet, Absolutely don’t think about going to the grand ceremony secretly! You young people don’t know the seriousness, you are not a senior member, but you want to attend the grand ceremony secretly, you will be regarded as blasphemy and will be punished most severely!”

Xiao Yuening was taken aback by the solemnity in old man Zhao's eyes, and asked curiously, "What kind of severe punishment?"

Old man Zhao just stared at him, didn't say the content of the punishment, but warned repeatedly: "I'm not joking with you, you are not a senior member yet, I don't know how severely the club punishes those who violate the rules. No one can afford it!"

Not anyone can afford it?Xiao Yuening thought of Hell's Gate's cruel behavior, and thought: Could it be that he was executed?Or sacrifice?

But compared to this, he now wants to know which shady corner this judge is hiding in: "I promise not to go, I'm just curious about where the main altar is... just tell me!"

Old man Zhao gave Xiao Yuening a stern look, as if he had decided that he was a young man who loved to hunt for novelties and was very courageous.No matter how Xiao Yuening begged next, he kept his mouth shut, resolute like a clam shell, refusing to utter a single word.

Xiao Yuening slapped around for a long time to no avail, so he had no choice but to give up.

When I went to attend class again in the afternoon, Xiao Yuening and the elders in their community finally saw the legendary, former cancer-stricken old man who had bathed in a "miracle"—the live advertisement for the gate of hell.

The old man is dry and thin, but he looks full of energy. At this time, he is surrounded by a group of junior members on the first floor. A group of people are asking him about the details of his cancer recovery, asking him whether the matter is true or not .

"Of course it's true!" The old man raised his head, with a fanatical expression, and with the glory and pride of being favored by the gods, he said loudly to everyone: "I was very sick at the time, and I couldn't even get out of bed. , I can only lie down and wait to die. The doctor said that I will never live for three months, but because I am devout enough, the Lord Lord of Hell saw my sincerity, so he will send a miracle to me! If you don’t believe me, just ask me Son and daughter-in-law, they saw the miracle with their own eyes at that time! It was precisely because of this incident that they also began to believe in the Lord of Hell. Now our whole family has become a believer in the Lord of Hell, and the Lord of Hell will definitely continue to bless you Our whole family!"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man and woman stood next to the old man, and beside the man and woman was a seven or eight-year-old girl, who should be their child.

The middle-aged couple nodded after hearing the old man's words, and firmly said to the people around them: "It's true. When my dad believed in the Lord of Hell, we didn't take it seriously. We always advised him not to indulge... If it wasn't Seeing the miracles with our own eyes, we really can’t believe that there is really a god in this world! Now our husband and wife are no longer going to work, and we plan to dedicate our whole body and mind to the Lord of Hell! And our daughter, although You are young, but now you are already a qualified congregation!"

As the couple said, they pushed the little girl who had been hiding behind the two of them to the front of the crowd, and introduced them to the crowd with a look of enthusiasm: "Here, this is my daughter."

The little girl was pushed in front of so many people by her parents at once, she looked a little scared, and she couldn't help taking a step back.But her parents did not allow her to back down, half-forced her daughter: "Quick, daughter, tell everyone, what do you think the Lord of Hell is?"

The little girl's eyes were a little dazed, but she spit out a sentence quickly and clearly: "The Lord of Hell is the only supreme god in the world, the ruler of all things, and the great god who gives us salvation!"

The expressions on the faces of the middle-aged men and women were very satisfied, and they asked again: "Then are you willing to believe in the Lord of Hell for life?"

The little girl looked up at the excited and fanatical expressions on her parents' faces, and nodded silently.

As a result, her parents smiled even more happily.

But among the junior members who were watching around, everyone had different expressions.Some people couldn't help showing longing on their faces, some people were dubious, while some looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a junior member in the crowd spoke hesitantly: "This child's age... at least should be in elementary school, right? Why did you come to attend classes? Doesn't she go to school?"

As soon as this remark came out, some of the surrounding crowd reacted and said, "That's right, it's not Sunday either, so this kid isn't playing truant?"

"Why skip school?" The former cancer-stricken old man looked at the person who asked the question disapprovingly, and said contemptuously, "What's the use of going to school? Can it get you the favor of the Lord of Hell? It can make you live without getting sick." , don’t you have to go to hell to suffer if you die?”

After understanding the meaning of the old man's words, the man's jaw almost dropped when he asked the question at first: "What? You mean... a child of this age doesn't go to school? Then what should she do when she grows up and finds a job? "

"Finding a job is something that mortals need to worry about. She doesn't need it. Our whole family is now the Lord of Hell's people. Of course we have to dedicate everything to the Lord of Hell. The Lord of Hell will bless us and pay back the Lord of Hell. What study? What job are you looking for? It's just a waste of time." The child's parents also spoke at this moment.

Hearing what this family said, some of the junior members who surrounded them immediately disagreed and said: "I said that you are free to believe in whatever you believe in, but don't drag the child along with you? This child If she should study seriously, she should be sent to school, otherwise, what will she do in the future? If she hasn’t attended nine years of compulsory education, wouldn’t she be completely illiterate? Marriage and life will be problems in the future!”

The girl's parents seemed to be stimulated by these words, their faces sank suddenly, they glanced at the person who said this coldly, and said: "Our children don't need you to worry about, but you are only juniors up to now. Members, are you willing to teach us a lesson? We are the official followers of the Lord of Hell, and we are protected by the gods! But you, you don’t even have a senior member, and if you go to the underworld in the future, you will suffer in hell!"

"Oh, what are you talking about!" The man immediately became unhappy when he heard such curse-like words, and his face darkened instantly.

But the girl's parents just sneered, with a sense of superiority on their faces, squinting at the many low-level members present, as if they were looking down on a group of ants.Afterwards, they turned around and pulled their daughter who had been bowing her head in silence, and squeezed out of the crowd first.

The old man in his family also snorted softly, and followed him to the direction of the second floor.

Xiao Yuening stood at the outermost edge of the crowd. When the family passed by him, a strong stench suddenly came from his nostrils... After thinking about it with a frown, Xiao Yuening felt that the smell was more like It's the rotten smell that comes out of stale meat—more intuitively, it's the stench of corpses.

The ominous premonition in his heart made Xiao Yuening endure the nausea, twitching the tip of his nose to distinguish carefully, trying to find the source of the smell.

Unsurprisingly, the stench emanated from the old man who was said to have been granted a "miracle" and successfully defeated cancer.

The old man walked behind his son and daughter-in-law with his hands behind his back, humming a weird tune as he walked.

Xiao Yuening vaguely heard words such as "Lord of Hell" and "Protect Your People". He guessed that this should be something that only senior members can learn. They, junior members, are not qualified to learn it yet.

Xiao Yuening carefully observed the old man's every move, and found that apart from the strange corpse smell emanating from his body, his appearance and actions did not show any difference from normal people.

Moreover, his son, daughter-in-law and those who passed by him seemed to be unable to smell his scent at all, talking to him with normal expressions.

He was also alive, and he didn't look like a walking corpse.And just looking at his limbs and exposed skin, he couldn't find any abnormal traces after merging with ghosts.

What method did the gate of hell use to make this old man survive?

Xiao Yuening thought secretly in his heart.

Moreover, did this old man really merge with ghosts?Where did the rancid smell come from?This smell makes people suspect that he is no longer a living person, but a rotting corpse... However, judging from his two contacts with the man in black, the "angel" fused with ghosts will only appear Inhuman features, no rancid smell...

Furthermore, according to what the woman in black said before, only "angels of the gods" in the gate of hell can be qualified to fuse with ghosts.

"God envoys" need to contribute to the organization, such as searching for the door of time and space and other dangerous tasks, most of them are doing it.Therefore, when the high-level officials of Hell's Gate selected the envoys, most of them selected young men and women who were young and strong with strong combat effectiveness.This skinny, shriveled old man didn't look like someone who would be chosen to be the "God's Envoy".

But if this is the case, the question arises again, how did the old man recover from his illness?Could it be that the people at the Gate of Hell have developed some new tricks, which are specially used to "cure cancer" for believers, so as to confuse people's hearts?But now it seems that this new trick is not very easy to use.At least from Xiao Yuening's point of view, that old man was more like a living corpse, and judging from the rotten smell emanating from his body, his body would probably decay completely in a short time.

What will happen to the gates of hell then?Another "miracle" and a new living corpse?

Xiao Yuening couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only secretly tell himself to observe carefully.

The afternoon class was not taught by the teacher in the morning, but by a different person.An old man in the community who had listened to classes for a long time explained that this teacher was the one who often taught them, and it was actually the first time that teacher appeared in the morning.

Xiao Yuening guessed that the man who came to brainwash them in the morning should have a relatively high status in this so-called mutual aid association, and he might even be the person in charge of this assembly point, who came here at a specific moment, Give the preparatory teachers who come to the class a "wake-up call", enlightening them, a group of fools, to "enlighten themselves immediately".

What the teacher said in the afternoon followed the style of the one in the morning. He wanted to spread all kinds of terrible legends about the [-]th hell to all the grandpas and aunts who attended the class, and what happened to those who had cancer but could not be cured. Miserable and pitiful... I was so frightened that many elderly people who were over half a century old felt sorry for each other, and some of them were weak and even wiped their tears on the spot.

Seeing that their intimidation had worked, the people on the podium changed the subject and reassured everyone not to be afraid. As long as they sincerely believe in the Lord of Hell, get the favor of the Lord of Hell and become a senior member, they will be protected by the gods and stay away from pain and suffering.

He also talked about the many benefits of becoming a senior member, such as free medical care for major diseases and assistance activities for the elderly.

If we talk about the previous statement about the eighteen levels of hell and the Lord of Hell, there will still be some people who hesitate to believe it, but when the words of free medical care and elderly assistance come out, most of the people present start to move around, thinking about what to do in their hearts. How can I quickly become a premium member.

When I went back that night, several old people in the community were discussing how to show their sincerity and become a senior member early, and asked old man Zhao, who had already been promoted to a congregation, if there was any quick way .

Old man Zhao carefully observed his surroundings first, then lowered his voice and said to a few old guys: "The way to show sincerity is actually very simple-although the Lord of Hell doesn't care about things outside of him, the operation of mutual aid associations also requires money. You can find Go to the management responsible for the selection, give them some money, I guess there will be a show..."

"What?" When she heard that the money was going to be paid, but the others were not doing well, Mrs. Wang was the first to explode: "Why do you still have to charge money? Didn't it be agreed at the beginning, that you don't have to pay and you can see the doctor for free...how come now? Want us to stuff money?"

Compared with the other elderly people who came to attend the class, Uncle Liu and Mrs. Wang had a pretty good life. Apart from their son's love of drinking and the fact that they were too old to get married, they basically had no other worries.They receive a monthly pension and don't expect their son to take care of the elderly. Compared with the other widowed and unfilial sons and daughters who are either unfilial or full of cumin, the life of the couple in their later years can be said to be quite satisfactory.

It is also because of this that although these two old people have also been brainwashed, they are far less fanatical and eager than the other old people in the same community when it comes to membership upgrades. Mrs. Wang couldn't help it.

"Keep your voice down!" Old man Zhao glared at Mrs. Wang, then looked around cautiously, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he said with a serious face: "I'm talking about the rapid promotion to senior members." Method, if you want to, just quit, call it whatever you want!"

Mrs. Wang raised her drooping eyelids to look at him unhappily, and muttered, "...the original agreement was to provide free knowledge lectures, care for the elderly and vulnerable groups, and free medicine and free medical treatment...but now What kind of god is still taught, and you still have to pay money (this is the point)! The more I think about it now, the more I feel wrong, you can think about it, don’t be a bunch of liars, be careful that the coffin will be cheated away Yes, I will spend the rest of my life in it!"

When old man Zhao heard that this stingy old woman dared to insult and slander the Master of Hell, he became impatient and scolded: "What do you know! Don't talk nonsense! Do you think the association wants to collect money? Isn't it for the association? Operation? The free medicine you and your old head Liu took a few days ago cost nothing? The gifts you got for free don’t cost money? The place where everyone listens to lectures doesn’t cost money to rent? It’s not a rigid rule that forces you to give money! If you don’t want to pay, you can’t pay, so why call others a liar! What did they lie to you? Did they force you? Did they rob you?”

Mrs. Wang was so yelled at by him that she didn't dare to speak out for a moment. Seeing that the old man was too excited, Uncle Liu quickly said: "It's okay, okay, don't say a few words. My wife just said something casually, you Look at how excited you are? At such an age, you are not afraid of not being able to get over it all at once?"

Mr. Zhao calmed down his excitement a little after he said this. He glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly, and said indifferently: "Anyway, if you ask me, I will tell you the truth. As for whether you want to If you like, that's up to you." After he finished speaking, he shook his hands and left with a gloomy face.

The remaining old men and women looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.

After a while, the old lady Xu in the community opened her mouth slowly, and asked an old lady next to her in a low voice if she wanted to pay.

She hesitated and said: "I heard that those who were promoted to senior members late have waited for more than half a year! Those who have waited for so long must have not stuffed money? Do you think we should stuff money? Morning If you become a senior member, you will be able to practice Qigong early... Half a year is too long, we are all so old, maybe one day we will never be able to open our eyes again... This Qigong should be practiced earlier ..."

The expression of another old lady who was asked by her was also quite tangled: "It's just... I just don't know how much the fortress is. My daughter has never come back since she married to other provinces, and she hasn't given me any money. All these years, it's all on my own. Picking up scraps and selling them outside... If there is a lot of money, how can I get it..." She said, as if remembering her hard life these years, she couldn't help wiping her tears with her sleeves.

Mrs. Xu also sighed deeply and didn't speak for a while.

Xiao Yuening felt that he couldn't just sit back and watch these helpless old people donate the money he had saved so hard to a fake association with malicious intentions. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Actually, it's only half a year, it's not too much. It’s been a long time. Besides, doesn’t the association provide free medical care to members? If you feel unwell during the six months, you can go to them for free consultation and free medicine! If you are unfortunate enough to get a serious illness, don’t be afraid. It’s not too late for them to pay for premium membership.”

The old lady Xu sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid that even if we become senior members, the 'miracle' sent down by the Lord of Hell will not be able to reach us because of insufficient qualifications..."

"Then don't worry about it." Xiao Yuening said, "It's only half a year. If you don't have enough qualifications half a year later, and half a year earlier, your qualifications will still be insufficient. It's the same, there is no difference."

Mrs. Xu and the others frowned, with a hesitant expression on their faces.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was quiet for a while, couldn't help but said again: "Hey, why hesitate? If I were you, I wouldn't pay the money! How hard is it to earn money? It was agreed at the beginning that it would not Those who asked us for money, now they have changed the way to give them money! And let me tell you, I feel that the Lord of Hell is a bit weird... That's right, it feels weird! Think about it, Those who believe in him will not go to hell, and those who don't believe in him will go to hell? Isn't this just a back door? Shouldn't the gods be just?"

"Besides, he is still the supreme god in the world, the ruler of all living beings, in other words, the supreme leader of the world! Then why open the back door openly? Are you not afraid that other people will rebel? Besides, if there are murderers among his believers What about criminals? Can murderers also be sheltered by him? "

As Mrs. Wang said, she winked her eyes at the old men and women who were dumbfounded, "...and, you say, is it possible that the miracles they performed were fake? Didn't there be such a liar before? Is it? None of us have seen those miracles with our own eyes... and the old man who said he was cured of cancer may be a babysitter they hired to fool us into giving them money ..."

Mrs. Xu and the others never thought about this, and they were stunned when they heard this: "This... this can't be..."

Mrs. Wang snorted and said resolutely: "Anyway, I don't give money. I was just trying to get their free medicine. Now they want us to pay. If you ask for money, I don't want to go!"

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Yuening did not expect that Mrs. Wang could remain sober when this group of people had been fooled and lost their way.It seems that people who are naturally fond of budgeting will always become extra sharp no matter what the situation is, as long as they encounter money-related matters.

A group of people were contemplating, Uncle Liu was noncommittal to what his wife said, and only told her to hurry up and go home to cook.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang asked several old people not to give money, and then went home with Uncle Liu.

The few old people who were left in place looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xiao Yuening suppressed a smile, and gave these old men and women another dose of strong medicine: "Actually, I think what Aunt Wang said is quite reasonable. The liars are so smart now, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the trap." … I read the news before, and I heard that a person was pulled into an investment exchange group. He listened to the people in the group talk about his experience of getting rich, and asked the people in the group to invest with him. After all the other netizens made money with that person, he couldn't help being moved, and invested with him, but he was cheated out of his money... Then guess what? The person called the police after realizing that he had been cheated. The police only found out that there were more than 50 people in the group, except for the person who called the police, all of them were liars... so many people gathered together, just to lie to him for acting, do you think it is scary or not?"

Mrs. Xu and the others were taken aback: "Really?"

Xiao Yuening said with a smile: "It's all on the news, what do you think? So, I think we must be cautious when it comes to money! After all, it was saved with great difficulty and was cheated away." Don't you feel bad to death?"

Mrs. Xu clutched her heart and yelled, "Why are people so bad nowadays?"
