I was a charlatan in India

Chapter 126 OK

When it comes to spreading rumors, disseminating rumors, and refuting rumors, that's truly his forte as a public relations manager.

Modern business warfare is straightforward and unpretentious. Besides destroying the opponent's money tree, the most common tactics are to fabricate lies, damage someone's reputation, and steal their customers.

"We're adding fuel to the fire of this rumor."

Both of them looked at him at the same time.

Surrey's gaze was extremely hostile, as if he was already considering whether or not to take action to capture this traitor.

Mahata remained silent for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had figured out what Shenhe was going to do.

Shenhe's smile was sinister.

"Didn't the enemy say we had malicious intentions?"

"Then let's just embellish this rumor, make it even more sinister, even... inhuman."

"Guards! Seize him!"

As soon as Surya smashed the cup, his private soldiers instantly drew their swords and pointed them at the Shen River.

"Lord Surrey, please hear me out."

"Hmph, traitor!"

Surie stared at Shenhe, his eyes already bloodshot.

"As the Great Celestial Envoy, instead of trying to dispel the rumors for the Great Celestial, you..."

"Lord Surrey, please hear me out."

Shenhe was somewhat helpless.

This child has a terrible temper.

I don't know if this doting feeling comes from my heart or from a divine source.

"I'd like to hear what nonsense you're hiding!"

"Lord Surya, if someone claimed to have received a divine revelation and was seeking you with a divine message, would you believe them?"

Surrey snorted coldly: "I will naturally host a banquet in your honor."

"Um."

Shenhe nodded and gave an example that was clearly blasphemous to Surya.

"If someone said he was the Great One himself, but when you went outside and saw he was just a dirty Dalit, would you believe it?"

See, persuading this child is very simple; just give him an example he would never believe...

"letter!"

Surrey nodded with absolute certainty.

"If someone can use the name of the Great Heaven and not die, it must be with the Great Heaven's permission."

"Everything is going according to the Great Heaven's plan!"

Shenhe was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, this Surya, he can't be that easy to fool, can he?

What if someone really uses my name to fool this child? Wouldn't that be...?

No, we need to be on guard.

He quickly made Arti make a wish that if anyone impersonated Da Tian, ​​Shenhe would know immediately.

The arduous training required is as vast as the ocean.

Can't afford it.

This only shows that many people will impersonate him in the future.

That's not surprising...

Shenhe tried changing his wish so that whenever someone impersonated him, he would receive a notification and receive a settlement each time.

Settlement now...

Shenhe couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This guy is really having a terrible time."

In addition, he needs to be able to give up this blessing at any time.

Add a safety net so you don't tie yourself down.

This time, the price became acceptable.

Of course, each warning to Shenhe requires additional effort and hard work.

After finishing this task, Shenhe organized his thoughts and then tentatively asked.

"What if someone says that Lord Surya betrayed the Heavens...?"

"Bullshit!"

Surrey glared at him angrily: "Who said that! I'll skin him alive!"

He really can't be trusted.

Shenhe was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

I understand now; for Surya, piety outweighs logic.

You know what, you really have to admit, this Surya is pretty good.

Although he's not very bright, his piety is genuine.

Come to think of it, none of my devout followers seem to be very bright.

Agni, Mina, Surya, and those who truly believed in themselves and diligently practiced asceticism...

In fact, both Dr. Black and Dana are very devout nowadays, with the latter even possessing excellent intelligence and action.

Shenhe simply couldn't sense it.

Not all efforts are rewarded.

Shenhe found an opening and continued.

"You see, Lord Surrey, people won't believe a lie unless it's outrageous enough."

"On the contrary, if we take action to suppress them, those ignorant and unruly people will think we are guilty and will believe these nonsense."

"So what we need to do now is to add fuel to the fire and make this rumor so distorted that even a fool wouldn't believe it, and then everything will fall apart on its own."

"and……"

Shenhe's tone suddenly turned cold.

"When the time comes, we'll see who's the mastermind behind it all—those are the ones who'll be quick to slam on the brakes."

"Then we'll strike and wipe out all his relatives and cronies, leaving none alive!"

"good!"

"Exterminate them all, leave no one alive!"

Surrey slammed his hand on the table: "Then what do we do, Your Excellency? You decide!"

……

Shenhe remained silent for a moment.

It seems the child didn't understand his plan at all.

Most likely, they understood the last sentence: "Slaughter them all, leave no one alive."

That's a bit unfair to Surya.

Actually, he understood the gist of it, but he missed some details because he was angry with Shenhe earlier.

Although he was reckless, he wasn't so stupid as to not understand human language.

However, Shenhe had already categorized him as a fool.

For at least a long time to come, he will probably treat Surrey as a powerful fool.

Alas, how painful!

Suddenly, Mahata frowned and spoke.

"This is probably not the right way either."

Shenhe's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, what if this bald monk suddenly falls ill and starts talking about morality with me again?

"Master Mahada, regarding the enemy..."

Mahata raised his hand and interrupted Shenhe.

He could tell that Shenhe was trying to persuade him.

Moreover, just by listening to the beginning, one can understand Shenhe's line of reasoning.

Shenhe's face also turned cold.

This monk thief is truly shameless...

"What I mean is that this matter is ultimately not a good thing to hear, so we must be careful not to give others cause for criticism."

"It would be best not to use the talents from Lord Surrey's household. If the enemy recognizes them and uses them, they will become our weakness."

"I have formed connections with some people who have suffered misfortune, and perhaps I can help them by doing something convenient."

He clasped his hands together, his appearance solemn and dignified.

"They could even impersonate the enemy and commission them, so that if something goes wrong, they could simply pour the blame on the other side."

"In that case..."

Shenhe froze on the spot.

I thought only people like us would resort to underhanded tactics.

Mahata, Mahata, I never imagined that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be even more insidious than us!

"...Amitabha Buddha, this is the way to deal with the enemy; it is the righteous path, not an evil one. Excellent, excellent!"

He truly deserves to be called a high-ranking monk!

Shenhe and Suliye exchanged a glance and then clasped their hands together.

"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said."

The three of them then reached a consensus.

They finally all put on smiles.

Surya grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Master Mahata, look..."

Mahata did not respond immediately.

He lowered his eyes, as if counting the cracks between the bricks on the ground, constantly turning his prayer beads, or as if explaining something to someone, muttering to himself.

"This disciple believes that spreading rumors and misleading the public is an evil deed, and evil deeds should be eliminated. The method of eliminating demons has no distinction between good and evil..."

Mahata rambled on and on, some of which Shenhe and Surya could understand, but also a lot of Zen sayings and witty remarks that they couldn't understand.

Of course, these words weren't meant for them to hear.

This is a custom of the Mahayana.

Whenever he resolved to do something that was not quite right, he would repent to the Buddha.

This was a set of rules he learned from a blond, blue-eyed pagan friend during his travels.

The powerful being said that whenever he hurt the little boy, he would pray to the God he worshipped for forgiveness.

If the Lord does not punish him, it means that this matter is indeed his destiny, and it is what he should do, and it will not affect his going to heaven.

In this way, one can avoid meaningless regret and distress, and better devote oneself to faith.

Mahata thought this was a great act of kindness.

Avoiding internal conflict is a form of wisdom; I've learned that.

The good news is that the Buddha never blamed him, and even continued to hold the lotus finger gesture.

If, as that heretical master said, this gesture, besides being a Zen practice, also means "OK".

In other words, yes, go for it!

After receiving the Buddha's permission, Maha Tathagata was satisfied and then spoke.

"Since the city lord has such a grand ambition to cleanse the demonic forces and uphold the righteous law, this humble monk is willing to lend a helping hand."
