Chapter 83 Sincerity is the key to success
The woman gave her a palm-sized jade statue and instructed her, "Light a stick of incense every morning and evening. Pray sincerely to the Holy Mother first. I will take you to the prayer meeting in a few days. If your heart is sincere enough, the Holy Mother will grant you nectar."
Feng Qingsui said hello.
He then asked, "I have a distant relative who has heard about the miracles of the Virgin Mary and wants to join the Ruifeng Society. However, he is in Weizhou, and there doesn't seem to be anyone from the Ruifeng Society there. I wonder if he could become an incense master or hall master?"
The woman said arrogantly, "You can't become the incense master or hall master just by having money. You can only become the incense master if you recommend 1,000 believers to join the guild; and you can become the hall master if you recommend 10,000 believers to join the guild."
"What if you recommend 100,000 people?"
“…”
The woman looked at her deeply and said, "If you can recommend 100,000 people, you will be the helmsman."
Feng Qingsui asked again, "How many helmsmen do we have now?"
The woman snorted coldly: "Do you think it's so easy to get a hundred thousand believers? At present, there is not even one."
"I haven't seen the Saint yet. Is it true that only the Captain can see the Saint?"
"You can see anyone. It just depends on whether you have the right fate." The woman replied, "The Saint will randomly visit various prayer meetings. If you are lucky, you will be able to see the Saint in a few days."
After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently.
"Go back and pray sincerely first. The captain and the like are not something you, a believer, should be concerned about."
Feng Qingsui left obediently.
Then he ordered Wuhua to keep a close eye on the woman.
But for several days, the woman did not contact anyone else.
"The collected property must be handed over eventually," she thought to herself. "I guess Qi Fu will collect another batch, and then I'll hand it over."
The so-called prayer meeting was a group of believers gathering in the woman's house and praying to a half-foot-tall jade statue of the Virgin Mary, and all of these people donated a large sum of money on the spot.
If you donate more, the jade statue will "drop" nectar; if you donate less, the jade statue will not show any reaction.
Feng Qingsui did not get the nectar.
The woman explained, "Your heart is not sincere enough. You need to pray for a few more days."
Feng Qingsui automatically translated it as: The silver you donated is not enough.
After the prayer meeting, the woman really went out.
She took the five-blessing money and merit money she had collected and went to visit the home of a wealthy man in the neighboring county. The wealthy man was a hall master.
The Ruifeng Society is very strict, and all members are connected through a single line. Feng Qingsui can only find the woman and the official by following this line. If he wants to find out other lines, he has to join the society in another place.
It was obviously difficult for her and Wuhua alone to quickly find out the details of the Ruifeng Society.
She had no intention of doing so.
After understanding the operation of the Ruifeng Society, she found Ji Changqing and told him her discovery.
Ji Changqing: “…”
Every time he thought the emperor was wise and he was capable, this man would jump out and give him a blow.
The Ruifeng Society had tens of thousands of followers, yet the imperial court knew nothing about it!
"I'll send someone to investigate immediately."
He pursed his lips.
"Don't go too deep. The person behind the scenes was able to develop so many followers in such a short time after the disaster. He should not be underestimated."
Feng Qingsui nodded: "I will prioritize safety."
Ji Changqing was quite skeptical about this statement.
After Feng Qingsui left, he summoned Yan Chi and said, "You must protect her."
Yan Chi: “???”
His original job was to be a spy, so how did he become a bodyguard in the blink of an eye?
Working hours remain the same, but the labor has doubled.
Do I need to add...
Ji Changqing glanced at him sideways: "Why are you still standing there? If you can't do it, just tell me earlier. I'll let Zhuying come back."
Yan Chi: “!”
"Whoosh" and flew up to the eaves.
You just know how to use the candlelight to scare him, but he will bury the candlelight sooner or later.
The candlelight feeding birds in the distance on Black Wind Mountain: "???"
Although Feng Qingsui reported the matter to Ji Changqing, he still asked Wuhua to keep an eye on the official.
The money collected by the incense master must be handed over, and the money collected by the hall master must naturally also be handed over, but the latter is handed over more secretly.
Wuhua noticed that the tracks left by a carriage leaving the official's house were particularly clear, and suspected that the carriage was loaded with a large amount of gold and silver, so she followed the carriage to Fu County.
The carriage entered a security agency in Fu County, and when it left, the wheel tracks were much lighter.
But the tracks left by the escort vehicles of the escort company that day were similar, so she couldn't track them one by one and didn't know where the gold and silver ended up.
After listening to her report, Feng Qingsui said, "These gold and silver may not be sent to the Saint. Someone else may take over. However, the escort agency should be their base. The Saint may be in Fu County."
She asked Wuhua to pay attention to the villages in Fu County.
Wuhua quickly found the whereabouts of the saint.
"The Saint performed a miracle in a mountain village in Fu County today and stayed overnight at the home of a squire in the town. I heard the squire and his family say they are going to hold a prayer meeting tomorrow night."
Feng Qingsui rushed to Fu County.
Fu County is famous for its masks, and there are shops selling masks everywhere in the streets and alleys. When Feng Qingsui passed by a shop selling ghost masks, he bought two masks.
After nightfall, hundreds of believers in Fu County gathered at the home of a local gentry, looking enthusiastically at the saint and the guardian who were present at the prayer meeting.
Han Ruixiang wore a dragon bun on her head and a plain silk robe. She looked at the believers in the audience calmly and kindly.
"If you are sincere, the Virgin Mary will bless you."
An old man with white hair took out a palm-sized bag of silver from his pocket.
"My coffin is here."
He put all the change into the donation box and knelt devoutly before the jade statue of the Virgin Mary.
"Please, Our Lady, make me ten years younger. No, just five years younger is fine. I will dedicate my life to serving the Lady."
The jade statue remained motionless.
"Next."
The head of the squire hall said expressionlessly.
The next person is an old woman holding her grandson.
She stuffed all her purse, earrings, hairpins, and bracelets into the donation box.
"Please, Holy Mother, save my grandson. He's had diarrhea for two days and has passed out. Please, Holy Mother, save him!"
Two lines of nectar flowed from the jade statue's eyes.
Han Ruixiang took the nectar and handed it to the old woman, who hurriedly fed it to the child.
As soon as the child finished drinking, he opened his eyes and called out, "Grandma."
The old woman kowtowed heavily.
“Thank you, Our Lady!”
Behind her, a young woman holding her husband with a broken leg took off the golden Buddha from her neck with tears in her eyes and put it in the merit box.
"Please, Holy Mother, help my husband fix his broken leg. I will be a vegetarian for the rest of my life."
The jade statue remains the same.
The woman burst into tears.
"Saint, please help us. Can you ask the Virgin Mary to save him?"
Han Ruixiang was about to speak when two men wearing hideous masks suddenly walked into the venue entrance.
"If you have a broken leg, you should go to the doctor, not the Virgin Mary."
The masked man in white.
"The Virgin Mary can't even protect herself, and she still needs to make money to survive. It's better to believe in the God of Wealth than to believe in the Virgin Mary."
Han Ruixiang's face darkened.
"Who are you, the evildoer, that dares to cause trouble in our Ruifeng Club?"
The masked man in white sneered, "You can't even recognize us, the Black and White Impermanence. You're a bit too fake a saint."
