Chapter 112: Judgment
People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this kind of thing is no stranger to the people of Ziyun Palace.
It's just that in the past, they played the role of swordsmen, but today, they want to be fish and meat.
In Pan Long's view, this is actually about the same, if you can eat meat, you have to be beaten, and the benefits and risks are twin brothers - and they are the kind of life and death, how much the benefits are, how much risk there is;
It's like another world, where in the pre-federal era there were a lot of political and business giants who controlled huge social resources. In the eyes of people, they are simply impregnable mountains, but by the time Pan Long died a hundred years later, these behemoths could only be seen in the history books. Their final owners basically ended up miserable.
...... Even if the establishment of the Great Federation is not as bloody as the first two world wars in history, there will still be someone who will be the price of progress.
The Purple Cloud Palace was able to become a hegemon in the South China Sea - even if it was only one of the overlords, and the process was bound to be accompanied by a lot of blood, accompanied by a lot of anger, helplessness, despair, blood and tears.
In the past, they made others cry, and maybe they laughed when others wept — now it's their turn.
Pan Long looked at the women who looked terrified, but there was still a residual arrogance on their faces.
They are very beautiful, except for his fiancée Wu Cuigu, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life is probably at this level, and even Bai Yingxuan, who makes Cangyuan reluctant to give up just seeing each other, can only be said to have their own strengths and weaknesses with them, so that they will not be able to overwhelm them in beauty.
But Pan Long only thought they were ugly.
At his level, the beauty and ugliness of his appearance no longer mean much to him - if necessary, he can even transform himself and become more beautiful than most women in the world.
What he values more is the soul and temperament.
And these women of the Purple Cloud Palace, even when they have reached the point where they are exhausted and ready to die, they are still constantly exuding anger.
The cold aura on their bodies was cultivated in the long years of the past, and behind this breath, I don't know how much oppression and killing are hidden!
It made him feel sick!
The murderous aura on Wu Jixing's body was also very heavy, and there was even a smell of blood that was difficult to hide. But that murderous aura is very refreshing, that is the temperament of people who understand why they are fighting and why they are killing, and are ready to die under the knife of others.
That kind of murderous aura will only make people afraid, not disgusted.
And the murderous aura of these people in the Purple Cloud Palace is completely different, it is a kind of disgusting aura that is accustomed to plundering and oppression, only wanting to seize in their hearts, and never willing to pay, just like an insatiable scavenger!
Looking at these people, Pan Long was silent for a long time.
He originally wanted to say something like "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" or "the prodigal son will not change his money", but he felt that saying such things was insulting to people—not only insulting the intelligence of everyone present, but also insulting the souls who were persecuted and killed by the Ziyun Palace.
So in the end, he sighed deeply and turned his head to look at the big man with the blonde hair.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the 'Dharma Venerable' of the Tianxiong Divine Emperor back then, right?"
Dahan nodded.
The hedgehog is an ancient divine beast, and it is a very special kind of ancient divine beast. Strictly speaking, it has no substance, but a symbol of "justice" – in other words, a natural immortal Buddha.
It can be said that the hedgehog is an ethnic group, but strictly speaking, there is only one - the many are one, and one is the many, which is the common denominator of this kind of natural immortal Buddha.
When the three elders gave a lecture to Pan Long in the World Outer Building, they said that those like them who have become immortal Buddhas are generally studying how to do this, and many immortal Buddhas believe that it should be an indispensable step on the road to a higher realm.
Since the pig is the embodiment of justice, it is natural to do things fairly. Therefore, it has become a natural mortal enemy with emperors and generals, rich gentry and village sages. Over the long years, it has been killed an unknown number of times. However, the innate immortal Buddha cannot be suppressed, every time it is killed, it is nothing more than to let it be silent for some years, as long as one hundred and eighty years, as short as ten years and eight years, the pig will be resurrected again, continue to fight against those old men.
This situation did not change until the time of the Tenxiong Dynasty, when the Divine Emperor Tenxiong and the Pig reached a compromise, and the Pig could punish any offender according to the law, but in addition to the law enforcement officials themselves could directly clean the portal, when punishing other criminals, they had to be witnessed by the court officials and adjudicated according to the law.
In a word, lynching is not allowed.
Compromise certainly won't be one-sided, and the pig is also limited. Unless he is summoned by someone, he can only take the initiative to appear when the people's resentment is boiling enough to overwhelm the luck of the court.
Since then, the pig has been canonized as "Dharma Zun", and its statues and portraits are all over the yamen and official residences, as long as it is a place for law enforcement, there must be a statue of the pig.
The years passed, the Tianxiong Dynasty fell, the Warring States period was in turmoil, and Great Xia was established...... The pig has always been there, but it is becoming less and less in charge.
Not only did it appear less and less, but other innate immortals and Buddhas also rarely appeared.
According to the opinion of some researchers, it is probably because this world is becoming more and more stable and perfect, so these innate immortals and Buddhas are gradually sinking into the depths of heaven and earth, and slowly and completely merging with heaven and earth.
Maybe one day, they will become a part of the world and will never manifest again.
But at least, here and now, the pig is still there.
What's more coincidental is that there are not only pigs here, but also law enforcement officials as witnesses - and this is also the yamen of the imperial court, which is a place for law enforcement.
So Pan Long thinks that the solution to the matter is actually very simple.
"Fazun is here, so why should I point fingers?" he said with a smile, "With Fazun's supernatural powers, these people's life deeds and crimes will naturally not be hidden from you." The laws of Great Xia, you know better than I do. Judge how you want. ”
A smile finally appeared on the pig's face.
"Are you sure?" he asked, "if I were to be judged, there would be no room for any exchange of interests, or compromise with each other, or small punishments." I have always done things in a way that is only painful and ruthless to make an example. ”
"As long as you're willing to punish according to the principle of merit and demerit. Pan Long said, "After all, there is no one in the world who does not make mistakes, as long as the merit can offset the mistakes, I think it can be tolerated." ”
The pig sneered: "How can it be so easy to offset the merits and demerits!" Among these people, the oldest one can barely do it, and the other three have no play." ”
Pan Long was taken aback, he thought that the oldest person had accumulated the most sinful karma, and the younger one might still have some enthusiasm, and the accumulated credit could barely offset the sinful karma...... I didn't expect it to be the other way around.
But that didn't stop him from making a choice.
Give everyone in Ziyun Palace a fair trial, this is his choice.
When he received Pan Long's affirmative reply, the pig laughed, and the golden light flashed on his body, and then he turned into a monster that looked a bit like a black goat, but with a golden hair and golden beard on its head, and a glowing brilliant golden horn.
The monster's eyes were cold, and he pointed at the people of the Purple Cloud Palace with a single horn on the top of his head, and saw that the smoke above their heads turned into black and white, and the bad things that he had done in his life appeared in the black qi, and the good things that he had done in his life appeared in the white qi.
The two sides appear at about the same speed, and it looks like they cancel each other out. But after a while, except for the white gas above Tan Fen's head, which was the leader, there were still good things in the white qi above the head, and the white gas above the heads of the rest of the people was already empty, but there were still bad things emerging in the black gas.
So every time something bad happens, their faces turn gray, and the vitality of their bodies continues to decrease.
After a few moments, there were only three withered bones in the hall, and a woman lying on the ground with a pale face and only one breath left.
After all, there are more bad things than good things in Tan Fen's life, and after the two are canceled, the remaining bad things still bring her a heavy punishment.
She was lucky enough to save her life, but she didn't know how long she would have to recuperate before she could recover.
