Chapter 132: The Sins of the Sect

The killing lasted from day to night, most of the buildings in Zhibei Yuqingguan were hit by throwing stones, or were robbed, and became tattered, and some were directly ignited by the lamps that knocked over the ground, and the tongues of fire scurried everywhere with flammable things such as curtains and scriptures, and some greedily licked the wood in the hall.

The round main beams are made of fine mahogany, and they are also fireproof before the beams are installed. It is very difficult for a normal flame to ignite it.

But it is a centuries-old catastrophe of Yuqingguan, an unprecedented catastrophe. In the raging fire, the main beam turned into a pile of charcoal, and the unsupported hall collapsed abruptly.

Statues, Taoist treasures, ritual artifacts and other objects are buried deep underground.

The accumulation of hundreds of years of Yuqingguan was burned in an instant.

The main hall was lit one after another, and the flames went straight to the bullfighting, reflecting half of the sky. It can even be clearly seen in the county town of Zhibei.

The people in the city walked into the streets with some horror and looked at the direction of Yuqingguan in shock. Some people immediately returned home with a big change in their faces, and when they came out again, they already had wooden barrels in their hands. Yuqingguan is established by Yujizi, but it has been bred for several generations in Zhibei County, with hundreds of years of operation, incense flourishing, and countless believers.

Seeing the fire in Yuqingguan, many believers subconsciously wanted to go up the mountain.

However, the messengers of the county government and the officers and soldiers of the city gate had already been instructed to know that there was a curfew in the county seat of Zhibei, and everyone only had to enter the city and not leave the city.

"Why aren't we allowed to go out of town!"

Several men in sackcloth holding wooden barrels looked anxiously at the skyrocketing firelight, looked at the soldiers at the city gate with some dissatisfaction, and said angrily.

"The county lord has an order, a curfew will be imposed tonight, and no one is allowed to go out of the city, otherwise he will be punished as a bandit!"

The soldier was wearing armor, holding a sharp blade, his face was stiff, he looked around with some alertness, and said coldly.

"There was a fire in Yuqingguan, and we went out to put out the fire. You can do it, and the gods will protect you. ”

A slightly older woman said kindly.

"The county lord has an order, and no one can go out of the city. ”

The soldier saw that the old woman's face was kind, and her tone softened a lot, but he still said resolutely.

"What the hell is going on?"

Looking at the soldiers with hard faces and nervous expressions in their eyes, and the weapons that have been unsheathed, which makes people feel frightened. In the dull also smelled the smell of slaughter from the air.

"What's going on. ”

"Master Jun, can you reveal a little. ”

A middle-aged man who was fat, pot-bellied, and dressed as a businessman approached the soldier with some flattery, and said with a smile.

"Go back. Otherwise, you will be punished by storming the city gates!"

The soldier glanced at the middle-aged man with a smirk on his face and scolded with some disgust.

The middle-aged man touched his nose a little stupidly, and went back, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to take another step forward.

"Old Lady Tang has arrived!"

With a shout, everyone subconsciously moved out of the way, revealing a road for carriages only.

The Tang family is also a well-known family in Zhibei County. Mrs. Tang is the mother of the contemporary head of the family, she is already old, but she is the most kind-hearted, often helps the poor people, is a well-known good person, and has a high reputation in Zhibei County.

"Yuqingguan caught fire and went to water. The fire went straight to the bullfight, and the old woman wanted to take the family to extinguish the fire, and asked the military master to make it convenient. ”

After the carriage stopped, Mrs. Tang poked her head out of the carriage, her hair looked particularly bright in the firelight, and said with a kind face.

"Mrs. Tang, the county has an order, no one is allowed to go out of the city, otherwise it will be regarded as a bandit, please don't let the little one be embarrassed. ”

The sergeant standing at the gate of the city had a look of embarrassment and hesitation in his eyes. Old Mrs. Tang naturally knew him, and he had been favored by the Tang family before. I subconsciously wanted to open the city gate, but when I thought of Shangguan's strict order, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and the hairs on my back stood up.

"Even Mrs. Tang is allowed to go out of the city, it seems that something really happened!"

The others were a little shocked, looking at the soldiers guarding the gate in horror, and the officials who slowly gathered around.

Mrs. Tang also had a look of surprise on her face, she didn't expect that the soldiers would not let her out of the city, you know, the Tang family is a famous family in the city, so they will naturally have some hidden privileges. For example, come and go as you please.

。。。

The bluestone used for paving the Taoist temple is transported from the jade mountain thousands of miles away, each piece is boxy, the texture is delicate, although there is no warm and delicate jade, but there is a bit of jade feel to the touch.

If it is in the rainy season, the bluestone washed and soaked by the drizzle will look extraordinarily green and verdant. Walking barefoot on it, indescribably warm.

Therefore, it is highly sought after by dignitaries and nobles.

Even in the place of origin, the value of each piece is more than three taels of silver. Enough for a family of three for a month.

Because production is scarce, the price is expensive.

Even if it is the mansion of the dignitaries of the northern county, few people use this thing as a roadbed.

Yuqingguan is just a branch of Yuqing Dao, and it is actually used as a roadbed, and the wealth and poverty of the sect can be seen.

"The sect is not engaged in production, but it is poor and extravagant, it is really the biggest rat in Daqian!"

Several corpses lay on the side of the road, bright red blood covering the road, leaving a thick layer of blood, which looked particularly dazzling in the light of the fire.

Fu Juren and Hu Buwei looked at the mud on the ground and the blood stains on the road, their faces suddenly became ugly, a trace of disgust flashed in their eyes, and their brows furrowed slightly.

They were reluctant to settle down, as if they were afraid of being soaked in mud and blood.

Hu Tingyu glanced at the two of them, and a trace of disdain flashed very vaguely in his eyes, and he thought mockingly in his heart.

Noble feet are not cheap, it is really a big man's style.

Situ Xing's face also became ugly, and his eyes looked at the blood-stained bluestone on the ground like a knife. The pupils kept contracting, and the heart was more like a river overturning.

In his opinion, this blood is not the Taoist priest's, nor the soldier's, but the people's.

The sect is powerful, and it is the best at demagoguery.

They are not engaged in production, they depend on sentient beings for support, and they live in poverty and luxury.

It is as if a mountain is pressing on the heads of the people, squeezing and exploiting the people, making the people miserable.

"What a damn thing!"

Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, and his heart was full of murderous energy. In his opinion, the current sect is too powerful, if the Buddhism of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the monks do not produce, do not serve in the military, and only rely on the state to provide for them, as if they are parasites.

And like a snowball, the number of people will become larger and larger, and eventually the country will be impoverished and brought into the abyss.

The same is true of the current situation of the Great Cadres, and it is even more severe. Because there are martial arts saints in the sect, the heavenly immortals are powerful to suppress luck, and there are many earth immortals like lackeys, innate martial artists, and countless ghosts and immortals.

The combined forces of them could not be countered even by the imperial court, and they could only retreat.

Regardless of the change of regime or the return of dynasties, they sit on the Diaoyutai and smile proudly.

Therefore, there is a proverb in Daqian: There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there is a 10,000-year-old sect.

Although it is an exaggeration, it can be seen how long the luck of the sect is?

"Mr. Situ is also afraid that this blood stain is covered with green boots?"

Seeing that Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy and he hadn't moved for a long time, Hu Tingyu's face rose with a trace of disdain and sneer, and he said with some sarcasm.

"How about I ask the little ones to bring clean water and wipe the blood on the ground? This ground is paved with green jade stones worth thousands of dollars, which is the warmest after soaking in water, and you will not feel cold barefoot in the cold winter. ”

"Of course, there is blood stains on the surface of this bluestone, but the blood stains in this bluestone are heavier. ”

Situ Xing didn't care about Hu Tingyu's sarcasm, and said with a faint look in his eyes.

Hu Tingyu's expression couldn't help but stiffen, and his eyes showed a suspicious look.

"This blue jade is not easy to mine, each piece is worth hundreds of silver dollars, and the price will naturally double when it is transported here from thousands of miles away. And then transported to this mountain beam, the artificial and material resources are even more wasted. These Taoist priests either practice martial arts every day to boil their bodies, or chant sutras to warm up the yin gods. Where does such wealth come from if they are not engaged in production at all? It is nothing but exploiting the people and oppressing the believers!"

"In each piece of bluestone, there are the blood and tears of the people, carrying countless grievances. ”

"Therefore, although the blood stain on the ground is dirty, it is not as good as this bluestone hundred!"

Hu Tingyu looked at the bluestone in front of him, the expression on his face suddenly stiffened, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if he was running away, leaving the bluestone far away.

It seems that there is blood stains that cannot be dissolved, and sins that cannot be washed away.

"Hey!"

"The people are suffering, and the people are suffering. ”

Situ Xing sighed faintly, raised his feet and fell, stepped on the mud and blood, and strode forward calmly. Only Hu Tingyu, whose face was like a lightning strike, was left.

There are also the two old gentlemen who covered their noses with their hands, looked at the blood-stained and scorched earth everywhere with a look of disgust, and wished they could end it sooner.

"Situ Xing, you are also a person with meritorious reputation, and you are qualified to read the county government's writings, bring this in to read it. ”

Hu Buwei looked at the mud and blood under his feet, and the disgust in his eyes became even stronger.

Seeing Situ Xing's face indifferently stepping on the blood stains, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of surprise. Unexpectedly, the ghost sent the god to hand over the expression that had been held in his hand on behalf of the great cadre.

"No!"

Situ Xing's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he still didn't hesitate to stretch out his hands and hold Beijun Xingwen over. At the moment when Xingwen fell into his hands, Situ Xing felt a powerful qi luck in the air suddenly descend.

A trace of red qi turned into a dragon form, guarding his surroundings. Let him have an indescribable majesty.

Hu Buwei looked at Situ Xing, who turned around and left under the protection of Hu Tingyu, with a look of surprise and regret in his eyes, but Situ Xing had already turned away, and could only sigh faintly, as if something important had been forcibly stripped from his body.

"Such a strong dragon aura. ”

Situ Xing's eyes showed a look of surprise. This line must have been written by a great person, otherwise it would not carry such a strong dragon aura.

However, he also knew that these dragon qi would not belong to him, but would only be borrowed by him temporarily.
