The headless corpse fell to the ground, twitching and spurting blood, and the head rolled down the steps and stopped in front of a crowd, and the woman who was still kneeling on the ground stared blankly at the master's head, and fainted with a scream.

The crowd ran out, and there were also those who came around the altar, the scene was chaotic, Banqin was frightened no less than others, and the entourage was also frightened with white faces, because standing far away at this time, even if they wanted to squeeze it, they couldn't squeeze through, and they watched Cheng Jianniang standing on the altar being overwhelmed by the people.

"Lady, isn't it, shouldn't be killed, this monk seems to be quite prestigious..."The attendant whispered.

Cheng Jianniang glanced at him and smiled.

Laughed...

The retinue froze.

Not to mention that the lady rarely laughs, let alone on this occasion, looking at those noisy and angry crowds is going to eat them alive.

"You are very fast, I like it." Cheng Jianniang said.

Yes? The attendant was stunned, and his face flushed.

Cheng Jianniang had already ignored him, and turned to look at the people rushing from all directions.

"Thief, thief." The other monks' eyes were red, and their expressions were full of anger and wanted to tear the little lady apart, but because of the shock of the terrible corpse lying on the ground, they were a little afraid, and no one dared to pounce on them.

Murder, that's murder, the knife in his hand falls and the head is broken, even a big man has to change his face, look at this little woman is not without a color change, but light and with a hint of smile.

This, this, what the hell is it!

"Demons, demons!"

"Kill her!"

"Burn her!"

Everyone pointed and shouted.

"You're wrong, I'm not a demon. He's the demon. Cheng Jianniang said. Looking at the angry people, there was not the slightest fear. Instead, he raised his feet and walked up to the high platform, kicking away the futon seat, "It's the solar eclipse he summoned..."

Because the scene was chaotic, the entourage had to shout Cheng Jianniang's words in a louder voice, and the people nearby heard it and looked surprised, and then passed it to the people behind them, passing through wave after wave. The noise was even worse.

What the?

Say that Master Ningde is a demon?

Said that Master Ningde summoned a solar eclipse?

"Hugh is nonsense!" The monks were red-eyed, and finally plucked up the courage to shout and pounce after a dozen people gathered.

The entourage showed the short blade in his hand to protect Cheng Jiaoniang, and the short blade was still stained with the blood of Monk Ningde in the daylight.

It must be no problem to deal with three or four people by himself, and the other companions in the distance have already rushed over like crazy, delaying for a moment to save the lady.

"This demon monk said that he could only stop the solar eclipse, but in fact he couldn't do it, if I hadn't killed him, the eclipse would definitely have occurred after noon!" Cheng Jianniang continued.

What the?

The faces of the monks around suddenly turned pale, and they looked at the little lady on the stage.

She is talking nonsense...

The little lady turned her head slightly to look at them, and there was no smile on her lips.

"But now I'm killing him. There will be no eclipse today, do not believe. Everyone just waited here to watch, without praying for blessings, burning incense, or chanting, and the tengu dispersed. She said slowly, pointing up to the sky.

Unexpectedly!

The monks who were about to rush forward looked horrified, as if they didn't know how to speak for a while.

The attendant immediately shouted out loud and repeated the words again and again.

"You don't have to shout at me to kill, I won't leave here, if the tengu doesn't retreat today, and the sun is devoured, I will behead myself and apologize." Cheng Jianniang said, put the hand pointing to the sky in front of her neck and made a scratching motion.

The noisy people stopped, looked over with surprise, questioning and bewilderment, and the audience was full of discussions, constantly spreading Cheng Jianniang's words one after another.

Finished! Finished!

With a bang, the two monks nearby sat on the ground, looking at the little lady with a pale face.

How so?

"Hugh wants to listen to her nonsense!" Several monks came back to their senses and shouted with white faces, "The Tengu has retreated, which is the credit of our master's prayer day and night..."

Before their words fell, they were cut off by Cheng Jianniang.

"Then since your master's prayer day and night has already been effective, why do you have to call the people here today to pray together?" Cheng Jianniang said.

Naturally, it was to establish prestige, but I didn't dare to say that, and a few monks turned pale and didn't know what to say.

The attendant repeated the question loudly so that more people could hear it clearly.

“… Isn't it possible that you masters alone can't do it, so you need the people to help? Cheng Jianniang asked again.

No... If not, that doesn't explain why people are gathered here.

Be... If yes, that....

The monks looked up at the little lady who was high up, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, full of bitterness.

Seeing this scene, Lord Han and the others, who had mobilized people and horses to easily separate the crowd, also stopped.

"Does this count as an old bald donkey pit himself?" He couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him.

"Bad master, she's murdered! Killed! You can't just leave it alone, right? A monk thought of something and shouted again.

At this time, the officers who came around looked at them with no more fear than before, but smiled with a little disdain.

At this time, I knew that it was a murder to take care of, what did you bald donkeys say when they beat people to death in the street?

"Don't worry, what's the hurry, this little lady has already said a big thing, how can I see if this is the case, otherwise I will be arrested like this, and the people will not accept it." Several of the officers laughed, "When her lies are exposed, we will definitely punish her for murder." ”

It's over, it's over.

In any case, the authoritative monk had been killed, and even if the people were angry, it was far less than he could incite at will when he was alive.

What's even more terrifying is that the little lady also used the spear left by the old monk herself to attack the old monk's own shield.

How so? How so?

Looking at the monks sitting on the ground with their faces like ashes, the servants could hardly help but laugh.

Haha's laughter came from the pergola on the city wall, and the officials outside the door couldn't help but smile.

"The last time I heard the prefectural lord laugh like this. Or the day the ditch is completed. One sighed.

"Ahh I really didn't expect it. It can be so simple! An official stroked his hand and said, taking a few steps back and forth, "I said that the prediction of this solar eclipse is not accurate at all, and the old monk must know it." ”

Not only did the old monks know it, but most of them also knew it in their hearts.

"So what?" Another official twisted his beard and laughed, "Do you dare to go up and kill him?" ”

Do you dare?

Everyone present asked themselves in their hearts and shook their heads.

How dare you? How dare you?

It's easy to remember, but it's not easy to do.

"This little lady is definitely not an ordinary family." Lord Han said. "What did she say before she went there?"

The officer said she had come out of the car when she heard the bald donkey talk about the eclipse, and her tone was clearly questioning. An official replied.

"That's right." Lord Han nodded, "She must know that there is no solar eclipse today, so she dares to be so sure." ”

Talking about twisting whiskers.

That must be knowing the astronomical calendar deduction, and it is not an ordinary proficient, such a skill is not something that ordinary people can have.

"My lord, the hour is coming." Someone reminded.

Although they knew in their hearts that there would definitely be no solar eclipse, everyone was still a little apprehensive, and when they heard the words, they all stepped outside the door to look up at the sky.

At some point, some clouds condensed in the sky, which made the atmosphere in front of the city gate tense and solemn.

The area around the high platform has been replaced by the servants of the yamen. The corpse of the old monk was also pieced together and covered with a white cloth, and the monks who had been in high spirits were driven aside and surrounded by them.

It's just an hour of tea. For the monks, it was a sea change.

Who would have thought that such an evil would be stopped! Knowing this, they would have dismantled the altar and sent it over! But it's too late to say anything now ....

Looking at the gradual change of the sky, everyone present was very nervous, and the people couldn't help but kneel, holding the gongs and drums brought with them with a frightened expression.

Banqin and others have already come to Cheng Jianniang's side.

Several retinues also took advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at the terrain route.

I don't want the car, just ride away...

They made plans with each other's eyes.

Compared to their nervousness, the two women were relaxed.

"Lady, wouldn't it be better for you to sit on it, and it will be more intimidating." Banqin whispered, pointing to the high platform and joking.

Cheng Jianniang sat under the high platform, leaning on the steps and looking at her hands.

"Deterrence requires nothing foreign." She said.

Banqin sat at her feet, looking up at the sky with some impatience.

"How long do you have to wait? It's boring. She said.

Cheng Jianniang looked at the sky.

"Half a day is enough." She said.

Half a day, Banqin frowned a little sullenly, and thought of something.

"Lady, why don't I go make tea and see how the newly made tea tastes." She said.

Under the clouds, on the high platform, next to the corpses that were full of blood, the fragrance of tea gradually spread, and the people around dared to look up, and they were a little dumbfounded when they saw the little lady drinking tea with a bowl.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, a gust of wind passed, the clouds dispersed, and the sun shone down.

As time passed, the sun turned from scorching heat to dusk, and the straight sunlight gradually slanted westward, casting on the walls of the city gate, with a bit of glow.

Cheng Jianniang's tea has been drunk, and the refreshments have been eaten once, and even the entourage on the side have eaten a few for a little amusement.

Perhaps because of their atmosphere, the expressions of the people under the city gate who were originally nervous and restless like a catastrophe have gradually changed, and the expressions of those monks are no longer dependent and awe-stricken, and some people are no longer kneeling reverently, but slowly changing to sit upright.

Although the city gate is still the same city gate, and the people gather so much, it is not at all like the original sacred, but it is a bit like the downtown of West Street, full of life.

Here, Cheng Jianniang looked at the sky and stood up.

Seeing her stand up, the originally noisy city gate slowly quieted down.

The dense crowd was silent, which made the officials standing on the city wall and looking down feel numb.

If the lady also said at this time that it was her credit to drive away the solar eclipse, presumably the people would immediately kneel down and pay homage, as if they were visiting the old monk who died.

Perhaps many times, people just want an object to worship, and they don't care who it is.

"The sun is about to set, let's disperse." Cheng Jianniang said.

Let's disperse...

After a period of silence, there was chaos under the city gate again, but unlike last time, this time the officials were no longer nervous, but relieved.

"Quick, we can't let go of this opportunity, we must take the opportunity to persuade the people and eliminate the influence of the thieves."

"....Arrest that group of monks, lest they deceive the people with any more gossip..."

“… Let them tell the old bald donkey about his bad deeds, and then put up a notice with the people...."

The officials on the city wall were busy one after another, and each arranged to take orders. (To be continued......)
