Chapter 231 Weird
Crackling Sage? What's that? The little Taoist priest and the little pavilion were stunned.
The thin man who had been kicked over by the pavilion also got up and folded his hands and prayed to the crackling sage.
"Three old brothers, what are you doing here?" The little Taoist priest saw that the three of them were not playing a prank, so he stepped forward and asked with his fists cupped.
"This brother, it seems that you are not from this brother!" The three of them looked a little older.
"Well, yes, the little brother has just arrived in Star-Moon City. I don't understand the rules, and I hope that the three old brothers will be the same. "Little Taoist said.
"I see!" The man nodded, "Those who don't know are not guilty, it's okay." ”
"I don't know what kind of characters the crackling sage is talking about, why the whole city is slapping each other, and ask the three brothers to solve their confusion." The little Taoist priest said again.
"Well, this, today is the Crackling and Slapping Festival in our city, the Crackling Great Sage is the protector of our city, thanks to his protection, our city has survived many crises." The thin man said, "It is precisely for this reason that our city has held this crackling and slapping festival on September 21 every year since a hundred years ago. ”
"Crackling slap in the face? It's fun! When Xiaoting heard this, he was happy, thinking that he would wait and ask his father to release Huo Gang and the slugs, and he would also have a good time, then it would be beautiful!
"Oh? Come to think of it, the Crackling Great Sage in your city must be a strange person? "Little Taoist said.
"No, he's not a man, he's a god!" Among the three, another man who was a little short and fat.
"What are the glorious things about this Crackling Great Sage, please teach the three of you!" The little Taoist priest said to the three people, "Let's go into the store to have some food, how about everyone chatting while eating?" ”
"Okay," the three nodded, "this is exactly what will spread the great sage of our city to the outside world." ”
The Crackling Great Sage was originally a jailer, but he was kind by nature. He was born with a pair of wise and insightful eyes, and he could see through all injustices at a glance. Therefore, he will take the opportunity to punish all those who commit the most heinous crimes in prison. And if the innocent and good are unjustly imprisoned, he will treat each other well and help them accommodate some relationships.
When the little Taoist priest heard this, he frowned, you say, it's just an ordinary jailer, what kind of saint do you make him holy? It seems that this may be a wild god.
When he was a child, he heard from the villagers that those cell bosses were fierce and evil, not a good thing. So, naturally, I don't have a good impression of what jailers are. Still, listen to what they have to say!
The jailer has a good temper, he can do everything big and small, and he also gave birth to a pair of big hands. Therefore, everyone blames him for all things that offend people and are not pleasing to him. Even when the court inflicted punishment, he was often called to help. Later, he became a servant who specialized in slapping people.
"Crackle", "Crackle", "Crackle"......
In fact, there is a way to slap people. Although they are all "crackling", they are divided into several types. There are those who hurt but don't hurt, there are those who hurt but don't hurt, and there are those who hurt and hurt and those who don't hurt. Because, this is a torture in the court, and the court officials are watching from above, so this requires skill.
Whenever someone was framed unjustly, and the magistrate in the court wanted to force the prisoner to be punished, the jailer beat him without injury or pain, but the sound was even louder. The whole face was swollen, but after two or three days, it was intact and not a single tooth was broken.
And the one who committed the most heinous crime and had some background, he was beaten painfully and hurt, but his voice was much quieter, and he didn't even have a sound, which was a bit of a stinky fart. Often, the 7749 slaps have not been struck, and the party automatically confesses his guilt, and he also confesses the old sins he has committed before, and the effect is surprisingly good.
In the past month or two, the court criminal officers have cracked more than a dozen major cases in a row. This made the court magistrate very happy, praised the little jailer for his good slap, and accepted him as the royal executioner.
Later, the court magistrate retired due to illness and recommended him to the lord of the city. The lord of the city also heard of his great name, so he made him the deputy criminal officer of the court, and after a few years, he became the criminal officer of the court.
The original name of the Crackling Great Sage was Bi Xiaosheng, he has been a criminal officer for more than 20 years, and he has never wronged a good person, nor has he let go of a bad person, which has made the internal environment in the city look new, and people are ashamed of breaking the law. He handled the case impartially and reasonably, no matter how complicated the case, he was able to hear it clearly, which was convincing and deeply admired by everyone.
Later, he resigned and retired when he was old, but the new city owner was unwilling to let him take the post of criminal officer, and he had to discuss any big and small matters. Because he was upright in his life, solved thousands of cases, washed away the grievances of countless people, and had a high reputation among the people, after he was old, everyone respectfully called him Bi Bo.
He went from a small jailer, to a prisoner, and finally to a criminal officer, and when he died, all the people wept. Many people, especially those who have been wronged by him, have tablets of him in their homes. After his death, the day of his birth, September 21, was established as Biber Day in his memory. Gradually, he became a protector of the city.
Especially more than a hundred years ago, there was an unprecedented plague in the whole city, and thousands of people died at once, and the entire Star Moon City was panicked. As the Biber Festival is approaching, everyone will pay tribute to Biber.
That night, more than half of the people in the city had the same dream, and they saw Bi Bo glaring angrily at a man who was covered in black air, and scolding him, and rushing up to punch and kick him, and the face crackled. Just like in the plate paintings handed down back then, he beat those criminals. In a short time, the man was beaten to the ground and turned into a weasel.
The next day, all the people who had the plague and their families went to the old well of Biber's house to get a bowl of water to drink, and within three days the plague was gone. From the second year after that, the Biber Festival was changed to a seven-day festival with the first three and the last three. Later, I don't know who called Biber Festival a crackling and slapping face.
From then on, no matter what difficulties he encountered in the city, he would ask Biber for help. For example, the floods, such as the drought, these have been greatly responded. However, there are also some where the lord of the castle was also reprimanded by Biber in his dreams. For example, taking advantage of the fire to rob neighboring cities and participating in some unjust wars......
However, no matter what, whenever there is a great trouble in the city, Biber will come to the rescue. Just like fifty years ago, Xingyue City was defeated by Ugin City, and the army of Ugin City came to the city and did not retreat for three months. So the whole city prayed to Biber, and the next day it snowed heavily. Three days later, Ugin retreated.
Since then, Bi Bo has been revered as the Great Sage, and the successive lords of the city have all pursued the principle of fairness and justice, not bullying the weak, not bullying the weak, and making peace with neighboring cities.
Well, in this way, this crackling sage is not bad, the little Taoist nodded. However, he was more convinced that Bi Xiaosheng was a monk. There must be a monk here, otherwise, how could the White Rabbit be gone?
"Do you have an immortal master in your city?" The little Taoist priest asked.
"Immortal Master?" The older man shook his head, "I haven't heard of it!" ”
"Well, by the way, you are also Sidon here, don't you believe in the Church of Our Lady?" The little Taoist priest said strangely.
"Indeed, in the past, there were many people in Star-Moon City who believed in the Religion of Our Lady. However, since the advent of the Crackling Sage, there have been fewer and fewer people who believe in the Church of Our Lady. The thin man said.
"By the way, I remembered, the city lord's sister is an immortal master, and she came back a few days ago. She also brought a few people, who should be her fellow disciples! "The fat one.
Well? The little Taoist priest's heart moved, it seemed that the white rabbit must have been caught by the city lord's sister and others. I really wanted to take a look, so I put a piece of silver and hugged my fist to the three of them: "Thank you three brothers for solving your doubts, I want to find a friend, don't say goodbye!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled up the small pavilion and walked out of the inn and headed towards the city lord's mansion. Now the lights were shining in the city, and the men were going home drunk. However, there are also some children running around the streets, because the adults are drunk and no one cares about them. The women in Xidun are different from those in Yizhou and other places, and the women here have loud voices and strong strength, and dare to drink and compete with men.
They were like electricity, and after a while, they arrived at the city lord's mansion. They did not enter through the gate, where there were several doormen. Flipping into the wall, the little Taoist priest's divine sense swept towards the entire City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. I saw that in a side hall, the white rabbit was sleeping in front of a large table, and there were two monks lying next to it. It seems that he is not lightly drunk.
And at the next table, there were more than a dozen brothers who were with Guan Yuexue who were also too drunk to wake up. However, Guan Yuexue, Yu Canglang, and more than a dozen others were missing.
Where have they gone? The little Taoist priest was a little annoyed with the white rabbit, but he was a little relieved. The reason why he is angry is: The White Rabbit is too unreliable, you drink the bar, what do you shout for help? Moreover, you know that you are coming, but you are so drunk that you don't know how to answer the message, isn't it worrying!
Of course, the White Rabbit is just drunk, and Guan Yuexue naturally has no problem with them.
However, suddenly, a trace of vigilance arose in the little Taoist priest's heart, because he smelled a hint of conspiracy. Although there was only a trace of it, it made the little Taoist priest's heart sink.
Putting the small pavilion into the jade talisman space, he turned into the appearance of a Sidun. The Siddonians are somewhat different from the people of the Middle States, with larger eyes, a whiter face, and a generally burly build. Today's thin man who was kicked over by Xiaoting is an exception.
Dressed in the family's clothes and holding a pot of wine in his hand, he staggered towards the hall where the white rabbit was.
As he was about to reach the hall, a man suddenly stepped out of the flowers, struck him on the head with a slap, knocking him unconscious. Then, with a hand in hand, he walked to a side room.
In the wing, he saw a very familiar person. This person is none other than Bai Xiaofu. The ground was full of people.
For some reason, my previous divine sense couldn't penetrate this chamber. And beside Bai Xiaofu, there is an old man, it seems that this is exactly what the two of them are doing.
