During the slack season, if some wealthy families have fun, or if someone makes money outside, they often ask storytellers to come to their homes to tell stories. On the one hand, it is to meet everyone's entertainment needs, and on the other hand, it is also indirectly announcing that my family is a wealthy family, which is also a very respectable thing.

Thinking of hearing about the storytelling at night, Li Qinglin became excited. So he stopped checking the whistle and immediately went back to change into a casual clothes, took a flashlight, inserted the box cannon he issued on his body, and then followed the way out of the village.

Li Qinglin followed two women on the road at the entrance of the village. They should be their usual good friends. One of them was holding a lantern to shine on the road, and the other was holding a wooden stick in his hand, probably for self-defense at night.

Li Qinglin had a flashlight in his hand, but at this time the flashlight was definitely a new thing and a luxury. In order not to arouse the surprise of the people ahead, Li Qinglin did not call the flashlight, but followed them not far or near.

After leaving the village, Li Qinglin found that there were still many people walking on the night road with lanterns. From the direction they were walking, everyone was walking towards the same goal, that was another small village not far away.

After a while, the final goal came. It turned out to be a slightly larger farmyard. After entering the yard, the lanterns were blown out and placed on the open space in the yard.

There was a row of houses in the yard. Two women then entered the house. A row of long benches were placed in the main hall of the house, and many people were already sitting inside. A few oil lamps were lit in the corner of the main hall, and the lights made the room bright.

The two women then found a seat and sat down next to each other. Li Qinglin also sat down with the two women, but he was sitting at the corner against the wall.

Sitting in the corner, Li Qinglin looked at the environment and layout of the house.

There were a row of weapons racks beside the wall of the main hall, and weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds were placed there. There were also in the middle of the main hall, and there were incense burners, incense, candles and other things, and behind the table was a Grand Master chair.

Seeing these, Li Qinglin was a little surprised. Is this storytelling worshipping gods and Buddhas, nor is it just a sword dancing to make sticks? Why are these things placed in the house?

As people gathered, there were men, women, young and old. In terms of costumes, they were basically ordinary farmers. There were about eighty or ninety people in the house, and the stools were quickly filled. Some people came in one after another, and the number of stools seemed to be insufficient, so everyone had to squeeze together. Familiar people were greeting. Judging from the closeness of the relationship, the people here came from different villages.

The two women who came with Li Qinglin looked not old last year. One was about 25 or 26 years old and looked relatively mature; the other was about 20 years old and looked relatively young; both of them were wearing buns on their heads, and they should be married young wives. After entering the house, they did not say hello to others, but just muttered something from head to head, and they covered their mouths and laughed from time to time.

Li Qinglin sat at the innermost point close to the wall, the older little wife sat close to him on the left, and the younger one sat at the far left.

After a while, a young man walked out of the inner room. He lit the incense candles on the long table and ordered people to blow out the other oil lamps in the room. Only a pair of small candles on the long table were left in the room, and a burning of incense was emitting blue smoke, and the room suddenly became dark.

After all this was done, a middle-aged woman came out of the inner room. The woman was not tall, wearing the costume of the queen who was singing, and walked to the chair as she was on the stage.

When everyone in the room saw him coming out, they all stood up and folded their hands together, and said in unison: "Empress, I'm safe!"

The middle-aged woman pressed her hands down and everyone sat down again. When the woman sat down on the Grand Master's chair, the young man hung a painting behind her, and there was a woman who looked like this woman, with a few words "The Queen Mother" written on the portrait.

Li Qinglin now understood that this is not a storytelling place. It turned out to be a party at the underground Taoist sect.

Huidao Sect emerged from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and was suppressed by the ruling authorities of all generations. Especially during the most severe period of social turmoil, the more prosperous the development of Huidao Sect was.

The turmoil in the political situation, the frequent outbreak of natural disasters, and the weakening of the security system have made people suffer in real life and despair about their future lives. The simple propaganda of "entering the church to avoid disasters", "strengthening the body and "being blessed later" promoted by Huidao Sect just catered to the psychological needs of the people. These propaganda of Huidao Sect provides the people with a sense of security and some kind of psychological comfort, which to a certain extent alleviates their anxiety and fear of crises such as poverty, disease, turmoil, and death. Coupled with the extreme backwardness and the prevalence of superstitious thoughts, these provide a suitable environment for the spread of Huidao Sect.

These leaders of the Taoist sect first dress up themselves as gods who were foresighted, either gained some special magic power or simply said that they were possessed by some god. These leaders of the Taoist sect usually predicted that there would be huge disasters, wars, plagues, etc., and then boasted that they could avoid disasters and eliminate disasters, strengthen their bodies, cure diseases and eliminate disasters, protect their families and fight against bandits, and are essentially a kind of doctrine that uses evil religions to spread.

When the blinded people joined the sect, they often organized underground armed forces in the name of protecting the sects and protecting the sects, and used various names such as "sending the sects, spreading the sects, and protecting the sects. Some particularly evil sects of the sects will also make money by practicing true skills, crossing the immortal body, and spreading the sects of the sects of the sects.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were many strange eccentric sects, some of which were extremely ignorant and even stupid. While they were lying, they sometimes deceived themselves.

There is such a person in Hebei. He heard that the Japanese army was afraid of European and American people. The devils would not go in as long as they saw the national flags of European and American countries hanging outside the house. So he created a strange flag hanging on the door. He organized a "Citi Club" accordingly and claimed that as long as they joined the Citi Club, they would not be hurt.

After the Japanese came, these blinded members really hid in his house. A messy flag was hung at the door of his house, and the cloth was not like a weird thing like a cloth, which instead aroused the interest of the Japanese. When the Japanese entered the house, they saw that hundreds of people gathered in the house. The Japanese thought it was a resistance force, so they withdrew and then pitched grenades into the house. All the people in the room were blown to death.

There is also a butcher who claimed to be possessed by Zhu Bajie and he also organized a "pig hum meeting" and claimed that when the Japanese came, it would be fine as long as everyone learned from pig hum.

The Japanese really came, and the believers really hid in his house and collectively learned from Zhu Hum. The Japanese heard strange noises outside the house. They didn't know what was going on, so they sealed the door of the house with machine guns and set a fire. All the people in the room, including the "reincarnated Zhu Bajie", were beaten to death and burned to death.

After the middle-aged woman sat down, everyone calmed down, and the middle-aged woman began to pretend to "pass on the way".
