Chapter 697: Cat and Mouse
If a cat has an absolute advantage against a mouse, and the cat is not very hungry and is waiting for the mouse to eat, then it will stage a cat play with the mouse.
It was to make the mouse think that he could run for his life, but when he was about to succeed, the old cat who teased the mouse caught it again, so that the mouse's hope was completely shattered.
Now Baili Lianglu is teaming up with Xuankong Dao Chief, and this is the trick he is playing against those Tianzhu monks.
After catching the senior brother and the monk who took the lead, all the Taoist priests of Xuankong Palace rushed up and besieged the invaders.
Those people do not understand the preferential treatment policy of the Chinese kingdom for prisoners, and they know that they are invincible, but they also want to fight as trapped beasts.
Their heads have long been indoctrinated with descriptions of intimidation, saying that if they are captured, they will be worse off than dead.
Advise them to fight to the death, and would rather die than be captured alive.
This trapped beast fighting tactic really worked, and just when they couldn't stand it, those Taoist priests who wanted to capture them alive actually took half a step back!
Seizing this opportunity, the remaining nineteen people actually played juggling!
The item to play is to stack arhats.
I saw the six of them standing in a circle, each half squatting and half standing, forming a circle of human bodies, with their faces facing outward.
At the same time, five people jumped on the shoulders of the six people like monkeys, and everyone stood face out, standing on top of the six people.
Before they could stand firm, four more men climbed on top of five.
Then, three more monkeys climbed a tree and stood on the shoulders of the four people, forming the fourth layer.
At this time, this arhat was already more than a zhang high.
The other two people also climbed up and stacked it into the fifth layer!
Baili Liangliu motioned to everyone not to interfere with them, and just watch the excitement around.
At this time, everyone has come to this point, and the fifth-layer Arhat can be called the highest level in the world.
Where do you know, they are still stacking!
The two on the top floor, one of them, a harrier turned over, provoked a person as tall as one, and with a whoosh, it was on the shoulder of the other!
Although everyone was silent, they were all amazed.
These people are really inexplicable, is this time a good time for you to perform juggling?
My heart was full of puzzlement, and I stared at them more closely to see what they were doing.
At this moment, the little man who had climbed to the top floor put his back on his back and raised his hands to the sky, in a very reverent posture.
Baili Liangliu and Xuankong Dao Leader finally understood, did they want to sacrifice and pray to the sky?
Since they are praying to the heavens, of course they should be close to the heavens, at least as close to the heavens as possible.
With this in mind, they felt that their voices would be muffled in this four-walled courtyard, so they held one high so that their prayers could be heard by God.
Maybe the shortened distance doesn't matter, the key is their mentality.
In the situation of such a great enemy, they can also wholeheartedly take a ladder to get close to God, and this kind of heart shows their piety.
Just when everyone thought they would say a prayer, they saw the person at the top, with a rumbling sound and a ball of fire!
I see!
Sure enough, it was a sacrificial ceremony.
Many people in Tianzhu advocate the so-called four elements, that is, air, water, fire, and earth, that is, they believe that these four elements are the original components of all things in the world, and all things in the world are composed of these four elements, especially the Wumu faction, which uses one of these four elements, or the most suitable offering for all the sacrifices, to show their respect to God.
These most basic understandings, whether they are Shi Baili Liangliu or Xuankong Dao Chief, all know some in a trance, so they think they understand the intentions of those arhats.
As everyone knows, it's just a mess.
It turned out that their action, although it had the appearance of a religious ritual offering to the heavens, was actually intended to ask for help from people outside!
In that small courtyard surrounded by high walls, they didn't build a ladder or stack Arhats of a sufficient height, how to transmit the signal.
As for that fire-breathing, at this time it is to express the meaning of 100,000 urgency!
Although the Tianzhu people are pious and old-fashioned, they also have their wisdom and flexibility.
For example, fire is one of the four elements, and of course they respect it very much, but they still have to use it when it should be used.
For example, cooking, such as industrial smelting, such as military rocket artillery, there is fire everywhere.
It is not surprising that today they are used for reporting.
It is only because of Baili Liangliu and Xuankong Dao Leader that they think that there is only one purpose, which is sacrifice.
However, although they misunderstood, their approach would not take into account what those Tianzhu monks thought.
Being able to watch them end their performances without interrupting is the greatest patience.
Just when those arhats disintegrated and everyone was scattered, Baili Lianglu seized the opportunity and commanded everyone to rush up and take down all 19 of them.
This Taoist priest probably did this kind of thing, and he was very skilled.
It is two people who serve one, first push them to the ground, and then wipe their shoulders and put their arms together, and put their hooves together with all four feet, and tie them up strongly.
I don't know if it's because this Arhat consumes too much energy, or because the news is sent out anyway, there will be rescuers to let them breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, these people didn't resist at all, and they honestly tied their hands and were captured.
Of course, it may be that they know that the Chinese kingdom treats the captives preferentially, and after they are caught, they are not mistreated, but are treated preferentially, and their life is much better than that of their ascetics.
Not to mention anything else, three meals a day make them yearn for it.
Their daily routine is one meal a day.
The news that these sneak attackers were caught by the enemy was received by the black eyes who had been paying attention outside when the person at the top of the arhat breathed fire.
He hurriedly told the master who had closed his eyes and recuperated.
The master only opened his eyes for a moment, and the light in them flickered like a small light bulb, indicating that he seemed to be asleep and was actually more awake than the person who opened his eyes widely.
He only said, "Those people can't be lost!"
He returned to the state of closing his eyes and recuperating his mind.
Karameme groaned for a moment and waved to the left.
A group of monks, about fifty of them, stood up in unison and walked out silently.
The others remained in the same place, in the same state of meditation.
Or press the back door, and close it again at this time, and the senior brother entered from there, but he didn't come out as planned.
The leader of these fifty men was the leader of Umu, and when he arrived at the door, he did not hesitate to go up and push the door in.
Interestingly, the door opened!
The man who pushed the door then collapsed and entered, followed by fifty mermaids.
After the people entered, the door "creaked" and closed again.
