Chapter 428: Two handsome guys were chosen [ask for monthly votes! ]
Outside Yunlu City.
A meeting at a Yihuo Sect hall had just ended, and the believers had just dispersed. The fanatical believers who wanted to join the sect stayed to be selected.
A little leader in a red robe stood on a high place and shouted, "Our hall is almost full. Those who are left can take a break and continue to pray to the Holy Fire. Only brothers and sisters who come from poor backgrounds and have a firm belief in the Holy Fire can always be with the Holy Fire!"
There was a bustling crowd of at least a hundred people in the audience, all vying to join the church.
The development of the Righteous Fire Sect has been in full swing these days, and many people in Nanzhou have benefited from it. The spread of the word has spread like a snowball, and the number of believers has increased like a snowball. Ordinary believers just follow the gatherings, but becoming a core believer can participate in more activities in the sect and practice with the Holy Fire.
Even without talking about faith, after joining the religion, if you follow others to pick up things from the homes of wealthy people, your position will be closer to the front.
Therefore, believers are all eager to join the religion.
At this time, a howling voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Brother! Please be kind and let us join the sect! My two brothers came from Central Continent because of your reputation. We have traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and we are a little late. If we can't join the sect, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
I saw two men with their clothes almost torn, their bodies skinny and without even a pair of shoes. If I didn’t know, I would have thought they were crying and begging.
"You came from so far away?" The little leader looked over there and seemed to be interested, wanting to recruit the two men.
Then another cry came from the side, "Brother! We brothers came all the way from Beizhou, and we went through 81 trials and tribulations before we finally saw the Holy Fire. If we can't always be by your side, we simply can't live anymore!"
The little leader looked around and saw two people appearing from the other side.
In comparison, the two new people looked more respectable. Although they were also ragged, at least they had complete clothes and shoes, and their appearance looked more decent.
The man who was speaking had a handsome face, sparkling eyes, and looked quite energetic.
It’s hard to say whether the guy following behind him has a cold temperament or is a little silly, but he looks good.
These two people are naturally Liang Yue and Cao Yi.
They dressed up according to Chen Ju's instructions and rushed here to join the Yihuo Sect, but they didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. As soon as they arrived here, they encountered a strong enemy.
"Alas, we already have enough people. Even if I recruit more, I can only recruit two at most." The little leader said in embarrassment: "Why don't you tell us about your own situations and see who is poorer, and we will give priority to recruiting brothers from poor families."
The two miserable brothers who came from Zhongzhou immediately knelt down and said, "My brother and I lost our father when we were three and our mother when we were four. We grew up fighting for food with wild dogs. To be honest, we only had one meal in three days!"
"Eh——" These words made the onlookers look sideways and immediately retreat.
After all, the poverty of ordinary people cannot be easily compared with theirs.
But then Liang Yue suddenly sneered, "Food?"
After everyone's attention was attracted, he continued, "What is rice? My brother and I grew up eating tree bark and have never seen that kind of thing."
"You're lying!" Zhongzhou brothers scolded, "Brother, look, their clothes are all in good condition, at most they are a little old, and they have money to buy shoes, how can they be really poor? Look at us, our clothes are almost torn!"
This is true. When Liang Yue was preparing, he didn't expect that there would be such a strong competitor.
If I had known, I would have prepared a sack to wear. But he remained calm and sneered again: "Heh, Senior Brother, you know that when we came to Beizhou, there were three brothers. We only had one pair of pants. We were afraid of tainting the Holy Fire by coming here, so we sold our younger brother to get these two sets of relatively neat clothes."
Hearing this, Cao Yi also nodded, "My little brother is indeed gone."
As he spoke, Liang Yue almost burst into tears. "In fact, I am also seriously ill and only have a few months to live. If I cannot join the sect before I die, I will die with regret."
These words moved everyone around him, and they came forward and patted him on the shoulders.
At first, Cao Yi thought it was a bit absurd and worried whether he could deceive these people. But then he thought, since they all believed in this religion, what else could they not believe in?
The two brothers from Zhongzhou saw that people were turning to Liang Yue, and their pupils immediately filled with blood. The eldest brother became ruthless, grabbed his younger brother's neck with his hands, and shouted: "You sold out your younger brother, right? I will kill my brother right now! I don't even have brotherhood, am I not the poorest person here? Hahaha..."
“Brother… Big brother…” His poor brother rolled his eyes and tried hard to break free.
People around also hurried to persuade him.
The little leader on the high platform waved his hands and said, "What are you doing? No need to do that. I have already sensed your determination to join the sect. I believe the incense master will also be moved by you."
"But then again..." After he said a few words, he turned around and looked back at Liang Yue, "I think the two of them are more in line with the purpose of our Yihuo Sect. If we don't talk about brotherhood at all, then wouldn't all the people in our Yihuo Sect be heartless and ungrateful? You guys come with me."
The Zhongzhou brother fell to the ground, crying loudly: "Why? Heaven and earth can witness our piety to the Holy Fire! Why..."
After a few words, it was finalized. The little leader led the way and brought Liang Yue and the other two into the hall at the back.

When he entered the back hall, he shouted respectfully: "Master Wenxiang, you asked me to find two handsome believers, and I brought them to you!"
"..."
Is that so?
After learning the truth, Liang Yue and Cao Yi were speechless.
It turns out that selections all over the world are similar. They mention a bunch of messy conditions, but in fact they hide a completely different set of standards that are difficult to say in public.
If you had told me earlier that I was looking at your appearance, why would you have bothered so much? You could have just washed your face and come over.
Not long after, a man walked out from the back hall. He had a fair complexion, a slight beard, and a gentle demeanor. He looked quite different from the other people in the Yihuo Sect in temperament.
"Very good." He looked at Liang Yue and Cao Yi and nodded with satisfaction. "With this appearance, you can choose to be a male or female virgin."
The little leader breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked, "Master Wenxiang is very optimistic about you. He allowed you to be selected as pure men and women right after you joined the sect. Have you two ever had sex with women before?"
Liang Yue chuckled and said, "How can our family have such an opportunity?"
Cao Yi replied briefly: "No."
The little leader emphasized: "This is very important. The men and women who choose to be cleansed must be inexperienced and cannot lie. Otherwise, when the holy fire comes to cleanse your body, you will be burned to death!"
Hearing his doubts, Cao Yi repeated with great confidence: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no such thing!"
