Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 250 is actually a remnant of the White Lotus sect.

Xu, trembling, pointed at the other person and said, "It's a pity you're a remnant of the White Lotus!"

Click!

These words struck like thunderbolts from the heavens, shaking one's very soul.

Shao Weng's heart sank to the bottom, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

How did he find out? Who told him? How many other people know? Should we kill him to silence him?

Should I run away? What about the Chu King's Sword underground? Is the outside already surrounded by the court's experts?

I imagine that all members of the White Lotus sect would go through a similar mental journey after their identities were revealed.

Fortunately, Xu Xuan intervened just as he was about to kill him.

"Let's go."

"Xu has already learned of your identity through certain channels, and those people will make their move in a few days."

"It's not too late to leave now."

After saying this, Young Master Xu turned around, leaving behind a resolute silhouette.

A brilliant tactic of feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap; if forced, the enemy will rebel; if forced to retreat, their momentum will weaken. The details and the emotions conveyed were perfectly executed.

One step, two steps, three steps.
"Young Master Xu, please wait!"

Someone chuckled inwardly. From the moment they met, the White Lotus Dharma Image had been exerting its bewitching power. As a practitioner of the original White Lotus Descent Scripture, it was a devastating blow to the followers.

This shows that the White Lotus Mother was really not a good person.

It's either eating or cheating; put together, it's all about cheating out of food and drink.

Shao Weng swiftly stepped in front of the entrance.

Just kidding, you have to find out the truth about this kind of thing, otherwise you'll just lose your life for nothing.

Even if he had to escape, it wouldn't matter if he did it a little longer. Besides, flooding Jiangnan wasn't his idea alone; the reason his identity was exposed was the most important factor.

Furthermore, we need to find out why the other party sent the message.

In his impatience, he even used his spiritual energy to create a barrier at the entrance, completely abandoning his act.

"Young Master Xu, let's be frank with each other."

"I am indeed from the White Lotus Sect, I don't know."

Young Master Xu sighed, his eyes filled with longing.

Let's start with a short story that took less than two hours to complete.

"Speaking of that year..."

The Xu family were prominent pharmaceutical merchants from Qiantang. Because they had access to the highest levels of government, they witnessed the true nature of the world and became confused about it.

It is the kind of spiritual state in which ideals and reality are separated, which is most favored by Buddhism.

At this moment, a man who liked to wear a hood appeared, and the two became close friends. That man was named Zhu Wuyong.

Upon hearing this, Shao Weng suddenly realized that this was the very same person who had been a prominent figure in the sect.

A true scholar who passed the imperial examinations with flying colors, holding the position of county magistrate. He harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Great Jin Dynasty and a profound love for the people—a true believer.

It disappeared somewhere in Jiangnan more than a year ago, and its soul fire has been extinguished.

Therefore, Xu Xian was a fellow believer whom Zhu Wuyong came into contact with, but he died before he could complete the final step of recruiting others.

No wonder the other party's thoughts were so aligned with the White Lotus doctrine during yesterday's exchange.

Wouldn't I have made a profit?

I got a church member with a clean background, money, and power for free.

Xu Xuan: That's right, it's a win-win situation for both of us.

"Then what about this identity?"

"It was revealed by the Changsha Prime Minister."

Yin Xian already knew Shao Weng's identity, but he pretended not to know in order to enjoy the pills and long-term offerings.

During this period, he was preparing for promotion to Prefect of Yuzhang, intending to use the remnants of the White Lotus Rebellion as a means of advancement.

Although the story is reasonable, it cannot be scrutinized too closely, otherwise it will be full of loopholes.

However, when people are in a panic, their thoughts will fluctuate violently, and the Holy Father is an extremely skilled sorcerer.

The combination of these two factors easily enraged the old sorcerer. The young man inwardly sighed, "What a clever man Yin Xian! I always thought he was a scoundrel, but I never imagined he was a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Even though I was angry, I could only hold it in.

The opponent is protected by good fortune; to strike without breaking that fortune would come at too high a price.

The most urgent task is to bring Xu Xian, the young master, into the sect, lest things get complicated. Missing such a precious opportunity would be a sin against heaven.

So they persuaded the other party by appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, declaring that the Jiangnan region was about to be flooded in a few days, and that it would be better to leave with him.

"Flood!"

“Young man, don’t lie to me. I have consulted the Jianye County Annals and this year’s hydrological data. There should be no flood.”

Seeing that Xu Xian did not believe him, Shao Weng could only offer the reason that it was a natural disaster.

The Prime Minister of Changsha was greedy and insatiable, and offended Heaven, hence this calamity. He then used spiritual means to demonstrate the abilities of a cultivator, further emphasizing his persuasiveness.

“When the ruler and the people are not in harmony, yin and yang become disordered, and evil spirits arise. This is the cause of calamities and anomalies.”

The theory of the interaction between Heaven and Man, since its introduction by Dong Zhong in the Han Dynasty, has been the guiding principle for thousands of years. Basically, any natural disaster can be attributed to someone's moral failings.

"If this is truly the case, how innocent are the common people? How could Heaven allow this? How could it do this?"

Young Master Xu seemed to be unable to stand, his worldview had been greatly shaken.

That's right, that's it.

It will make you despair of the officials of the Jin Dynasty and of the world, so that you can understand the mystery of the vacuum of your hometown.

Young Master Weng was inwardly laughing triumphantly. Although he had been tricked by that scoundrel, the Prime Minister of Changsha, it was still worth it to bring a wealthy and powerful young master, Xu, into the sect.

Young Master Xu trembled with anger for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes became even more determined.

It seems they're about to do something earth-shattering.

"Senior Shao Weng, you possess great magical power and great compassion. Please help the people of Jianye overcome this crisis."

"If we eliminate the Chancellor of Changsha beforehand, we might have a chance to avert this calamity!"

The senior shuddered.

You really are a talent of our White Lotus Sect!

We all go through a process from normal to extreme, but you've gotten it right in one step—that's incredibly talented.

Moreover, the way she lets others take action also has the style of a new kind of cowardly white lotus.

So he patiently explained that the other party was protected by the fortune of the Jin Dynasty, and that it was not that he did not want to save them, but that the Jin Dynasty would not allow him to save them, throwing mud at them one after another.

"Neither joining the religion nor not joining it can save Jianye."

"Let me think about it some more."

Very well, well, they've shot themselves in the foot.

Shao Weng felt he had been too talkative; if he had proceeded slowly and not mentioned the flood, he would have been almost certain of success.

Now things are really messed up; the other party has such great love for humanity that this situation has become a stalemate.

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, Mr. Xu would still bring it up here. It's just that the Holy Father is a respectable person and doesn't want to go through the whole process himself.

In the end, the young man had no choice but to say that if the luck was broken, he could remove the source of this disaster from the people.

"This is what you said: to rid the people of harm whenever there is an opportunity."

"That's what I said."

Shao Weng sighed that the other party was still easy to fool, or perhaps Zhu Wuyong had laid a really good foundation.

Then it won't be up to him anymore. Anyway, when the Chu King's sword is completed, he will forcibly take Xu Xian away, let him watch Jiangnan turn into a vast swamp, and then he will give up completely.

Little did he know that Xu was secretly pleased with himself, for he had already found the executioner.

Now it depends on what happens on the other side.

the other side.

Xie Yu and his classmate Zao went to the Prime Minister's Residence in Changsha as representatives of the academy.

A banquet was being held at the Prime Minister's residence at that moment.
