Chapter 234: White Lotus Sect Methods
150,000 rebels retreated to the rear, and stampedes happened everywhere along the way! Many people have been trampled underfoot, especially those who are weak!
But at this moment, no one cares about those who are trampled on! There was a great chaos in the rebel army, and countless people died!
"Quick! Retreat! The army of the imperial court is behind, and if you want to survive this time, you must quickly withdraw! ”
"Yes! The army of the imperial court is so powerful that we are no opponent at all! ”
"Hey! Why did the army of the imperial court appear at this time? Didn't you say that there was no army? ”
The rebels are still talking there!
However, less than a quarter of an hour later, there was another sound of chaos among the rebels in the north!
"What's wrong? What happened? Zhong Xiang retreated with the rebels, and couldn't help but ask anxiously at this moment.
"Elder Zhong, something is wrong! The road ahead is blocked! Moreover, there is a shouting of killing in front! The imperial court also laid a large army in front! "An incense lord said.
"How so? Get the way out of the way! Zhong Xiang said.
However, his voice was not over, and the rebels in the north began to retreat one after another! For a while, the crowd was crowded, and the rebel army was even more chaotic!
The incense master who talked to Zhong Xiang before doesn't know where he has gone at this moment! Zhong Xiang was yelling there, but no one listened to him! He wants to restrain the army, but unfortunately it is simply impossible!
"Master! Master! What do we do now? Yang Mo's voice came from afar!
"Come to me!" Zhong Xiang was sweating profusely and said.
After a while, Yang Mo squeezed to Zhong Xiang's side!
"Master, we have an army of the imperial court in front of us and behind us! Moreover, the roads are blocked! Our rebel army does not dare to fight a decisive battle with the army of the imperial court! Now what? Yang Mo said anxiously.
"These rabbles are no match for the imperial army at all! This time we failed! Zhong Xiang said.
"What? Is this a failure? Don't we still have an army of 150,000? How could it fail? Yang Mo said incredulously.
"The army of these untouchables is no match for the imperial court at all! That's it, that's it, it's still a miscalculation for the teacher! I thought to myself that the army of the imperial court had already gone to all parts of Sichuan and Shu, who knew that they still had an ambush on the Golden Bull Road! Hey, our 150,000 rebel army, if everything goes well, we can defeat Sichuan and Shu, but if there is a slight setback, this rebel army will be vulnerable! Ay! He let out a long sigh!
"Master, what should we do now?" Yang Mo said.
"Let's go back to Mianyang immediately! Let's go up the hill! With our martial arts, we can escape! Zhong Xiang said.
"But, master, if we go back now, what will we do with this Sichuan Shu? How do we occupy Sichuan and Shu, and how do we realize our ambitions? Yang Mo said.
"Can you still think about this at this time?" Zhong Xiang hated the way.
He had already strode towards the front, Yang Mo gritted his teeth, and followed Zhong Xiang towards the front at the moment! There were righteous soldiers and people in front of them, and they stepped on the heads of these people with light skills, and these people screamed, which was naturally inevitable!
After a while, they came to the mountain, which was steep, but they were so strong in martial arts that there was no way to stop them! After a quarter of an hour, the figures of Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo slowly disappeared!
And the rebel army is still in chaos at the moment!
The Shu road is narrow, there are enemies in front and behind, these rebel soldiers are already anxious, and they don't know what to do at all?
******
"Surrender or kill!"
At this time, there was a sudden burst of voices before and after! These are the voices of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!
These voices are so neat that thousands of people are coming together!
In such a chaotic moment, such a sound immediately acts as a deterrent!
"Surrender or kill! Officers and soldiers say surrender without killing? We quickly get down on our knees and surrender! ”
"Yes! We are no match for officers and soldiers at all, and now there is no other way but to surrender! ”
"Lao Liu, you still don't kneel!"
The two sixty or seventy-year-old men who participated in the rebel army before were still safe and sound, but at this moment, when they heard the sound of surrender without killing, the sixty-year-old rebel hurriedly pulled the seventy-year-old rebel to kneel!
Gradually, more and more people knelt down!
After less than half an hour, almost everyone knelt down!
The night was dark, the surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of the rebels could be heard breathing! Occasionally, the wind is heard! The voices of those officers and soldiers disappeared at this moment!
More than 100,000 people of the rebel army knelt there, and their hearts were all panicked and anxious! They don't know what their fate is, they don't know how the officers and soldiers will really treat them! It wasn't until this time that they realized that they had participated in the rebellion, which was a great crime to kill the Nine Clans! However, the officers and soldiers have already said that they will not kill if they surrender, and they don't know if it's true or not!
"Lao Liu, what should I do? Are we going to die? "The sixty-year-old rebel said.
"We're old bones, it doesn't matter if we die! But my grandson is here, too! If my grandson dies, then our Liu family will be cut off! There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! Even if I die, I don't have the face to go to my ancestors and ancestors! "Seventy-year-old righteous army road!
"What to do? What to do? Let's light up! When it's dawn, we'll know what to do! "The righteous army in his sixties said.
"Yes! Hurry up for dawn! It's so scary now! "The seventy-year-old righteous army said.
It was dark, and their hearts were terrified!
An hour had passed, and gradually the rebels in the south and north heard the footsteps, which made their hearts beat faster, and they knew that the officers and soldiers were coming!
When the sky was dark, they saw clearly that it was indeed officers and soldiers in front of them! These officers and soldiers were in order, all of them were holding bright weapons, and countless bows and arrows were aimed at them!
"Don't kill us! Don't kill us! We have been bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, and we don't want to oppose the imperial court! ”
"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”
"I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby underneath! Spare me! ”
The rebels were full of wailing!
Those officers and soldiers ignored them, and after a while, suddenly an earth-shattering voice came from the army - "Hurray"!
Countless officers and soldiers knelt on the ground together, and the voice of long live resounded in the sky!
"What? Banzai? Could it be that the emperor is coming? ”
"Oh my God! The Emperor is coming! Let's hurry up and welcome it! ”
"Hooray! Long live Your Majesty! ”
For a time, the rebel army was also full of "long live" voices! Although these people were bewitched by the White Lotus Sect and opposed the imperial court, the concept of the supremacy of the emperor was formed in their hearts since childhood! At this moment, hearing the arrival of the emperor, all the righteous soldiers and ordinary people showed frightened expressions on their faces, and they still recognized the supremacy of the emperor in their hearts, and immediately shouted "Long live"!
It's just that their voices are noisy, and although their numbers are large, the voice of "long live" is far from being comparable to those officers and soldiers!
******
In the misty sky, surrounded by countless soldiers, Zhao Chen, dressed in a dragon robe, walked out of the army!
Seeing Zhao Chen coming, those people first looked at Zhao Chen with some curiosity, and then hurriedly lowered their heads, lest Zhao Chen think they were rude!
"Grass people, see Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Your Majesty! The grass people meet Your Majesty! ”
For a while, such a voice sounded here again, and there was a bang!
After a long time, the voice slowly quieted down! The people of the righteous army were still panicked in their hearts, and some people were secretly looking at Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen had no sorrow or joy, and these people were even more shocked in their hearts!
"Last night, many people died here, many of them trampled to death by yourselves! My heart aches! Zhao Chen finally spoke!
Hearing Zhao Chen's soft voice, the rebel soldiers below were relieved! However, after listening to Zhao Chen's words clearly, many people also sighed in their hearts! Some of their relatives and friends died here, and many of them couldn't contact their relatives and friends at all, and they were very worried about the situation of their relatives and friends!
"After kneeling all night, are you tired?" Zhao Chen said again.
"Not tired!"
"Grass people are not tired! I just ask Your Majesty to spare your life! ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!"
The people below shouted one after another, they didn't dare to say that they were "tired", they just begged for mercy!
"How can you not be tired after kneeling all night? Okay, you don't have to kneel now, just sit down! You all sit on the ground and listen to me! Zhao Chen said.
Hearing Zhao Chen's voice, those people froze again! The people naturally need to kneel when they see the emperor, not to mention that they are rebellious people! But now that Zhao Chen actually asked them to sit down, the people were in disbelief for a while! But not long after, countless people were in ecstasy, and the emperor asked them to sit down, which proved that the emperor really had no intention of killing them!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing your life!"
"The grass people have thanked Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
A moment later, there was another roar among the rebels, and countless people kowtowed to Zhao Chen, and then they stood up and sat down again!
There was a great chaos in the rebel army, and only after the chaos stopped, did Zhao Chen start to speak again.
"You are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why do you want to rebel against the Great Song Dynasty? Why rebel against me? Zhao Chen said.
After a while, a teenager finally said, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect said that we can establish a prosperous White Lotus Age!" When the White Lotus is in its prime, everyone doesn't have to work, and everyone enjoys happiness! That's why we are deceived! ”
"Everybody doesn't have to work, do you think that's possible? Even if I deal with state affairs every day, it is impossible to take a few days off in a year! I have to work every day, and so do my ministers! Is it possible that everybody doesn't work? Zhao Chen said.
"This ...... Your Majesty, these are the wills handed down to us by our childless mother! The lifeless old mother is the most powerful god in heaven and earth, omnipotent, she said this, it must be true! The boy said again.
"The Childless Mother is the most powerful god in heaven and on earth? Omnipotent? She's so powerful, you don't need to rebel! It only takes her alone to be able to establish the White Lotus Prosperous Era, to be able to kill me, kill all the court officers and soldiers, and realize the White Lotus Prosperous Era! What else does she rely on you? She still needs you to revolt? Zhao Chen said.
"This ......" the boy stayed there, speechless!
Yes, as Zhao Chen said, if the gods preached by these religions are really omnipotent, then do they still need the people to revolt? is really omnipotent, a person's words and thoughts, the world will become the so-called "White Lotus Prosperous Age"! But the childless mother does not have such ability, and the childless mother still relies on preaching and uprising, and may not be able to succeed in the uprising! What is this "omnipotent"?
"Your Majesty, the messenger of the Holy Sect can put your hand into the oil pot! The oil pan can't burn him! The messengers of the Holy Cult can also kill ghosts! The boy was not convinced.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh!
But he was prepared!
"Come on, bring the oil pot up!" Zhao Chen said.
At that moment, someone lifted an oil pan over, and the hot oil in the oil pan was boiling and boiling!
"You're all coming and seeing! Is this a frying pan? Zhao Chen said.
When a group of rebels came up, they looked at it and nodded their heads!
"Let more people come and take a look!" Zhao Chen said.
At that moment, more rebels and ordinary people came up, and they all nodded!
"Excellent! You're all optimistic! Zhao Chen smiled, and his hands slammed into the oil pot!
Yes!
There were screams from below, and even countless people covered their eyes, not daring to look any further!
"This oil pot seems to be nothing more than that!" Zhao Chen's voice came out, extremely calm!
The rebel civilians below opened their eyes one after another, and everyone looked at the top in surprise, only to see Zhao Chen's hands slowly pulled out of the oil pot! He wiped his hands with a cloth and saw that they were safe!
"Ahh Your Majesty has such a ability? Your Majesty, are you also a King Kong body? "The next rebel said in disbelief.
"What Vajra Body?" Zhao Chen said.
"The Holy Sect Messenger said that only the true Vajra body can put his hand into the oil pot without being hurt! The Holy Sect envoy has received the blessings of the childless old mother, so he has such a ability! "That righteous army said.
"Pure nonsense! Wu Jue, you come and put on a show for them! Zhao Chen said.
Behind Zhao Chen, a young general walked up! This young general has a handsome face and looks very elegant, it is Wu Jue!
At this moment, Wu Jue's hands were also inserted into the oil pot, and countless rebels and ordinary people below were watching! I saw that the oil pot was boiling, and Wu Jie's hands were also unharmed!
The people below "this ......" were stunned, they didn't expect another "King Kong Body" to appear!
"Let's give it a try!" Zhao Chen said.
At that moment, those soldiers stepped forward one after another, many soldiers inserted their hands into the oil pot, and many soldiers were safe and sound!
"This ...... Could it be that His Majesty's subordinates are all Vajra bodies? Are they also the disciples of the childless mother? ”
"How so? Impossible! ”
"Yes! Odd! Odd! ”
The people of the righteous army below were talking a lot, and at this time, a righteous army was arrested by Wu Jie, the righteous army was still struggling, and Wu Jie had already stuffed the hands of this righteous army into the oil pot! The rebel screamed, but soon he realized that something was wrong, the temperature in the oil pan was not as high as he thought! When he pulled his hands up, he found that everything was fine with his hands!
"How is that possible?" This rebel army is unbelievable!
"Do any of you still want to give it a try? I promise you are safe and sound! Zhao Chen said.
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the rebel army below was silent, and no one caught up! It wasn't until Zhao Chen shouted a few words again that a bold rebel came up, he inserted his hands into the oil pot, and he was also safe and sound, and he was surprised at the moment! Then, more and more people came up, and the results of their experiments were that their hands were unharmed!
In fact, this is an ancient charlatan, pour vinegar into the oil pot first, and then pour oil! The specific gravity of the vinegar is heavy, so underneath, the oil floats on top, just a layer! Vinegar has a low boiling point, and the temperature doesn't need to be high to boil! From the outside, it's a pot of boiling oil! In fact, there is not much temperature in it, and the human skin can fully withstand it! Ordinary people don't know the truth, they just think that it is really a god descending to earth, a god passing on his skills, and so on!
"Wu Jue, just now someone said that the people of the White Lotus Sect can also kill ghosts, you can show them!" When the surroundings were quiet again, Zhao Chen smiled and said.
"The Last General's Order!" Wu Jie stood up!
At that moment, Wu Jie first took out a piece of paper, which was white and there was nothing!
Then I saw Wu Jie's mouthful of water spraying towards this piece of paper, and suddenly a ghost appeared on this piece of paper! Wu Jie's sword went over and cut this ghost in half!
The rebels below froze again, and many of them showed expressions of disbelief!
"What other abilities do people in the White Lotus Sect have? Let's talk about it! Zhao Chen said again.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Sect Envoy is invulnerable!" A rebel in his fifties stood up and said.
"Invulnerability? Oh? Who can be invulnerable, you call him out! Zhao Chen said.
After a while, dozens of rebels stood up and came to the stage! These are the White Lotus Sect emissaries who can perform invulnerability!
"I have a sword in my hand, you guys try it!" Zhao Chen said.
More than a dozen of these dozens of rebels trembled, and the rest had eager expressions!
When a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try!" You're coming to my belly! ”
"I don't want to kill you with my own hands!" Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh!
At that moment, the young man took off his shirt, he began to exercise, and the horse stood there, the sword in Zhao Chen's hand slashed towards the young man's stomach, and suddenly a stream of blood flowed out! The young man was shocked and unbelievable!
"Your Majesty, he is not a disciple of a childless old mother! He's a fake disciple! I am the real disciple of the childless mother! I'm willing to give it a try! Another man stepped forward and said.
At that moment, this person came up to try the trick, and after a while, this person also had blood flowing on his stomach, and he also stayed there!
Then Zhao Chen ordered these dozens of people to be pressed to the ground and tested one by one, and none of them could be "invulnerable"!
Ancient Chinese religion bewitched the people, and there were two favorite tricks to use, one was to cure diseases with water, and the other was "invulnerability"! And the typical example of "invulnerability" is the later Boxer Rebellion! At that time, the Boxers preached invulnerability, and neither swords nor hot weapons could hurt! At that time, the literati recorded that "with a gun and a foreign gun to charge the filling, the boxers and so on all stood a hundred steps away, let the guns hit, the bullets and the body, not only did not enter, but they could be received in their hands to show the public, everyone was amazed, thinking that they had never seen it, and those who went to the altar to seek advice were like returning to the city", and the bullets could not enter the stomach!
At that time, the Qing Dynasty, from the Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Hongzhang to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the ordinary people all believed in the "invulnerability" of the Boxers! The Empress Dowager Cixi felt that although the foreign guns and foreign cannons were powerful, the boxers of the Boxers were invulnerable and enough to resist the foreigners, so she officially fell out with the foreigners! When the foreigners invaded, the Boxers really rushed up with foreign guns and cannons, and it turned out that the so-called "invulnerability" was purely a joke, and those "invulnerable" people were shot to death by muskets! However, some boxers at that time even thought that those Tuan people who were shot to death were not real Boxer disciples, and they were still convinced of "invulnerability", and they still braved the gunfire to charge forward, and then fell to the ground again! It wasn't until the complete defeat of the Boxers that the myth of "invulnerability" was officially shattered! From then on, no one at the top of the country or the people at the bottom of the country believed in the so-called "invulnerability"!
Zhao Chen didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect would also use the trick of "invulnerability" to bewitch the people, in fact, even if it is martial arts, it is impossible to be invulnerable! Even if it is Wang Chongyang, it is impossible to be invulnerable! Especially if there is a divine weapon like the Chunjun Sword in his hand, it is impossible for Wang Chongyang not to defend himself and let others cut at him!
After this "performance", the rebels below were stunned, staying there one by one, at a loss!
