Chapter 62: The Fire of Purification
It's not until you're actually in the city of Cologne that you understand how beautiful and spectacular the city is!
The entire city is white, and there are three buildings that stand out, one is the magic tower that is unique in the world; the second is a windmill standing in the sea like a skyscraper; The third is a statue of a character standing up to the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info walking in the clean streets, mixed in the endless flow of people, when you look up, you will know how small you are, and your heart is more grateful for how great human creativity is!
Located in the east of Cologne, the Royal Palace is a very large castle complex. Since it was his first time in Cologne, Galen acted as a guide, taking his men on a tour of the central square, admiring the bell tower in the west of the city and looking at the astrological platform of the ancient ruins. After a whole day of playing, Galen invited Hua Li Lang to live at his house, Hua Li Lang didn't want to go when he saw the Huahua World outside, but he promised to be a guest on Galen's sister's birthday. Galen also knew that his brother had always been used to being casual, so he let him go.
The royal capital generally placed foreign officers in the post house, which is located in the north city, a little far from the downtown area, but the house is quite large, and the environment is not bad. In the evening, I went to the restaurant to drink with Hara, Tylokos and a few generals in the army, and a few big men drank well, so I found a few girls to accompany the wine.
A few hungry and thirsty men took advantage of the wine to get up and down, and Hua Li Lang was no exception, hugging left and right and suddenly feeling beautiful in the world. However, the restaurant is not a Fengyue place after all, it is illegal to pop here, a few horny men discussed it, and simply did not go back to the post house at night, and found a flower house to have a good time!
Hua Lilang felt that what a few people said was very reasonable, and when he was discussing how to go to the flower building to pick up girls, Tylokos, who was clean and self-loving, reminded coldly: "The military department stipulates that foreign generals must go back to the post house to sleep at night, and they can't stay in Fengyue places!" ”
Yaxi, the general of Youfeng, shouted: "We are all good men with strong blood, and we finally came to the royal capital once, why don't you let us have a good time?" ”
Tyrokos said: "The land of Fengyue that dares to officially open in the royal capital is all backstage, not to mention the luxury and luxury in it, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who stay in the company. In the past, the military department did not explicitly restrain the behavior of border county generals, and these border county generals caused a lot of disasters in the land of wind and moon. The main reasons are nothing more than two points: one is that the border county generals have an upright temperament and a hot temper, and the other is that the border county generals do not have much money on them. The generals who can come to the royal capital to report on their work are all people who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and it will be difficult to let these people make trouble in the royal capital. You are also the pillars of the kingdom, so don't let the pleasure of the moment lead to a big thing. ”
After listening to Delokos's explanation, everyone was dumbfounded, and Yahi even looked up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that people like us can only find a pheasant on the side of the road to vent their anger!" A noble place, not for us! ”
Hua Li Lang touched the shriveled money bag on his body, and felt a little sympathetic, and a group of people returned depressed. He returned to the post house and slept, and the next day the royal envoy did not come to summon him. What should a group of people do, visiting relatives, visiting friends, reading books, and practicing martial arts...... Hua Li Lang was still worried about the gifts, so he went to the downtown again.
Walking around with the crowd, Hua Li Lang suddenly walked to a small stall selling clay figurines, the stall owner was a white-haired old man, who was happily introducing his pinched clay figurines to the customers at the stall, there were three-headed vicious dogs on the stall, angels holding the sword of judgment, and giants carrying big trees, the old man said that it was a titan...... Hua Li Lang picked left and right, and felt that his craftsmanship was quite good, so he asked him: "I want a new clay figurine, and the appearance is not the same, can you pinch it?" ”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "As long as this little brother says what it looks like, then I will definitely be able to pinch it!" ”
Hua Li Lang said happily: "Then you help me pinch a monkey, this monkey can walk upright like a human, it wears a phoenix winged purple gold crown on its head, wears chain gold armor on its body, and steps on lotus silk steps, but the weapon in its hand is a stick, called Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, weighing 13,800 catties!" ”
The old man picked his head with his hand, and said in his mouth: "Little brother, this monkey is different, I don't understand what you say it is wearing, can you tell me more carefully?" ”
Hua Li Lang knew the cultural differences between the two worlds, and it was difficult to fully explain it, but he said to the old man according to the monkey in his memory: "The crown is purple and gold, with two phoenix tail feathers floating on it, and the armor made of gold, you can just get the specific appearance!" The shoes are long shoes, the color is also purple and gold, there are clouds and lotus flowers on them, and the texture is like silk. The weapon was a bronze and iron rod with a red center and gold at both ends, with dragons entwined around the ends of the gold. ”
The old man laughed and said: "Listening to what the little brother said, I guess I can pinch it out, but the old man thinks this monkey is really interesting, I don't know where this monkey comes from?" Can you tell me about the old man? ”
Hua Li Lang saw that someone was interested in the culture of his hometown, and he immediately burst into joy, and he didn't care about the surrounding customers, so he told the story of the Monkey King for the old man. The old man is also a cheerful person, he was fascinated by the story and didn't do business anymore, Hua Li Lang told him for a long time, and his mouth was dry, and he finally finished telling the story. At this time, I don't know where a few gongs sounded, and the surrounding people immediately flocked over, and Hua Lilang heard someone shouting: "The eastern market kills people!" Let's go and see it! ”
Hua Li Lang glanced left and right, and muttered in his mouth: "What's so good about killing people." ”
I didn't want to join in the fun, the old man smiled next to him and said, "We have two execution grounds here, the east side is different from the west one. The east side was responsible for the execution of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and the west side was responsible for the execution of ordinary people. You said that the dignitaries and nobles usually stand high one by one, and ordinary people have to bow their heads and bow down when they look at him, but now they want to kill their heads in front of the public, isn't it a rare thing? That's why every time someone is executed in the East, everyone goes to cheer! ”
Hua Li Lang heard the old man say this, it felt very interesting, and a stall owner passed by, and asked the old man to help watch the stall, and he also wanted to join in the fun, he said to Hua Li Lang: "I heard that today's execution is a real nobleman with a title, and I don't know what crime he has committed, not only the noble elders will be publicly judged, but even the Bright Church has dispatched several teachers, it seems that it is going to be burned at the stake!" ”
"A public trial?"
Hua Li Lang didn't expect that it was not a simple killing, so he also wanted to go and see, he told the old man that he was going to pick it up in two days, and the old man happily agreed, and Hua Li Lang followed the stall owner to join in the fun.
After walking with the swarming crowd for a long time, Hua Li Lang finally saw the execution ground. The execution ground was a very wide platform, and everything above the people could see clearly from below. The execution ground was surrounded by soldiers, standing solemnly one by one, maintaining the safety of the execution ground. A tall cross had been erected on the high platform, under which stacks of timber were piled up, and dozens of inquisitors sat in chairs behind them, and in the middle there were instructors of light dressed in white.
As the hour came to the shouts of the chanters, a prisoner with chains arrived behind the execution ground. The prisoner had his head down, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his pale blue curls were very conspicuous. The prisoner walked very slowly, the chains dragged on the ground and made a clanging sound, and when he reached the center of the execution ground, the crowd below suddenly fell silent.
Accompanied by a melodious silence bell, the inquisitor looked at the prisoners in the field and asked in a loud voice: "Lord Sanchi, are you now guilty?" ”
The prisoner knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head, he glanced at the several judges in the field, and said lightly: "How about the guilt?" What about not knowing sin? It's not all dead! ”
The presiding judge snorted, "If you plead guilty, we can discuss and hang you at our discretion!" You should know that under the judgment of light, the stake is burned along with the soul! ”
The white-clothed coach next to him also stood up and whispered, "The holy light can give people light, and it will completely eliminate darkness." Lord Sanchi, you might as well listen to my advice and confess your sins! and lest the soul burn! ”
Sanji struggled to stand up, but was pressed down by the soldiers behind him, and he shouted loudly to the white-clothed teacher: "I also believe in the light, and I am also a believer in God, I am not guilty, why should I confess my sin?" ”
Seeing that Sanji was still stubborn, the presiding judge was so angry that he shouted: "As a nobleman, you have bent down to serve lowly commoners, and what you have done has disgraced all nobles!" This is not only a shame for Demacia, but a shame for the whole of Valoran! You dare to say that you are not guilty! ”
The people below let out a cry of exclamation, they didn't expect this nobleman to do such a thing! Not to mention that the nobles can't accept it, even the commoners can't accept it! The concept of class in the Valoran continent has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and even if the country is in turmoil, it is just one nobleman replacing another. The dignity of the nobles and the humility of the commoners have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people around them finally understand why this nobleman was executed to burn his soul at the stake.
Sanji snorted and said, "If you want to kill, kill!" Why say more? ”
After that, he tilted his head and refused to say another word, and the presiding judge drew his arrow and shouted, "Execution!" ”
Two soldiers dragged Sanchi to the execution cross, then tied his feet with ropes and lifted him into the sky little by little by pulley.
The surrounding crowd shouted happily, clapping their palms urging the executioners to hurry up and light the fire, they couldn't wait to see this very rare purifying fire. Several light coaches silently walked around the cross, holding the holy scriptures in their hands, and chanted the Tomorrow Period for Sanji.
At the moment when the torch was lit, a person in the audience clenched his fists tightly. The bones between his fingers were pinched by him, and the anger in his heart was even more blazing than the hot sun in the sky!
