At eight o'clock in the morning, when the sun was completely peeking out of the desert on the horizon, Judas, the traitor of the Twelve Apostles, swallowed the last breath of his life from the crooked neck tree outside the city.

At the same time, the last public trial against Jesus, initiated by the Jewish Presbyterian Church and presided over by the Roman occupier Pilate, also began with great fanfare.

"Bring Jesus of Nazareth."

Pilate sat on his high throne, looking down at the bustling crowd below, with a majestic demeanor, it should be explained that this so-called place of judgment was actually a depression of the wall that closely adjoins Pilate's palace, with a stone staircase of several meters connecting up and down, Pilate and his Roman guards were located on the wall, and a group of enslaved Jews, including their elders, were crowded like cattle in a space of about 100 square meters in the shape of "mouth", as for Jesus, He was brought to Pilate directly by the passage inside the walls of the guards, so he seemed to have more rights than the elders below.

"You are Jesus?"

Looking at the man in front of him who was already so bloodstained that he couldn't see his face clearly, Pilate couldn't help but be stunned, he and Jesus had some overlaps from afar, but now, if he didn't know that the guards couldn't bring the wrong person, otherwise he really didn't dare to associate the prisoner in front of him with the mighty prophet.

Jesus looked at Pilate and did not speak, now he was very weak, all the wounds were viscous semi-coagulated blood clots, especially the crown of thorns on his head, which the boring jailers had done to tease him, and the sharp thorns pierced his scalp one after another, and the blood that flowed out almost blindfolded his eyes, and the original skin color could no longer be seen on the whole face except for a bright red. However, through the overlapping blood, a trace of clarity in the depths of his eyes could still be faintly seen, and it was obvious that Lu Ren had smeared the medicine on the torture instrument was very powerful, and the effect had not completely faded until now.

"Jesus, the Jews accuse you of claiming to be the King of the Jews? Did you say that? ”

Pilate did not mind Jesus' rudeness, and asked directly about the core of the case, and from his wife, he already had a preliminary impression of this man who claimed to be a prophet. Knowing that he is an extraordinary but not bad person, and also knowing that extraordinary people often cannot be restrained by vulgar etiquette, not to mention that the other party is now seriously injured, as the governor of one side, he still has this bearing.

"I shepherd the common people on behalf of the Lord."

Jesus' answer was skillful. But even though his body was already very weak, there was arrogance in his voice.

It's a pity. His words did not elicit a reaction from Pilate. In the eyes of a superior like Pilate, he was at best a good man who liked delusions, but for the presbyterian council, who had always regarded himself as a substitute for the will of the Lord on earth, his words were tantamount to lifting their scales!

"Great rebellion! Obviously the son of the devil, he still dares to deceive in the name of the Lord! ”

It's a clash of elders talking.

"The authority in heaven is to the Lord, and the glory on earth belongs to the Roman Emperor. How dare you defile His Majesty the Emperor like this? ”

This one, who was a little smarter than the previous one, knew that the Lord of the Jews had no binding power on Pilate, so he simply got involved with the Roman emperor, and so on. Even Pilate had three scruples.

"Crucify this heretic who pretends to be a prophet!"

This request was more direct, but it cried out the true thoughts of the elders, and under their hints, the clamoring grew and demanded that Pilate immediately crucify Jesus.

Pilate frowned, "I don't think this man is guilty of death, and the whipping is enough to punish him." ”

"You are not right, Your Governor, for this man has blasphemed the faith of our Jews, and a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for his sins." The elder who took the lead stepped forward and looked up at Pilate, but there was a threat in his words, "If he does not die, even we will not be enough to appease the anger of all the Jews, and I believe that His Majesty the Emperor does not want a riot in the place you manage." ”

Pilate was angry on his face, but he immediately calmed down, he sneered a few times in his heart, and said in his heart, "What is the anger of all Jews, it is clearly the selfish interests of a few of you old immortals", but out of the consideration that the strong dragon will not suppress the snake, he groaned for a while, and still proposed another compromise plan, "I have another murderer here, and now I can only execute one between him and Jesus, which one do you think I should execute?" ”

As he spoke, he asked the guards to bring in a stout and ugly man, and the moment he saw this big man, Lu Ren, who was hiding in the crowd, suddenly felt that he was extremely handsome.

"He killed a dozen Jews." Pilate looked calmly at the Jewish elders, "Between him and Jesus, only one will be put to death, while the other will be acquitted in court." ”

According to his original intention, he hoped to save Jesus' life in this way, because no normal person should choose to release a murderer with proven guilt, but to his surprise, these Jewish elders were many times more murderous than he had imagined, and under their instructions, almost all the Jews below began to shout something like the release of the murderer and the execution of Jesus.

"You ......"

Pilate's eyes narrowed, and he stared coldly at the elders at his feet, "You have really decided?" ”

and Pilate's eyes matched, the elders below were cold in their hearts, knowing that this time they had completely offended the Roman governor to death, but at this time they were also ready to fly and had no choice, otherwise they would not be able to kill Jesus if they offended Pilate, that is the real blood loss, with such thoughts, several people looked at each other, and finally the elders led by stood up sideways,

"That's right, Your Excellency the Governor, this demon who has blasphemed our faith must die!"

"Hahaha, good," Pilate looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, his eyes crossed, "In that case, I don't have much more to say, but I will wash my hands first, and pray to heaven that this man's death has nothing to do with me, and all the sins will be borne by you!" ”

"No problem!" As soon as Pilate relented, several elders were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly responded, "We will bear all the sinful karma!" ”

In the crowd, on the high platform......

Lu Ren, Pan Sen, Angel, and Jesus sneered contemptuously at the same time.

"You're going to take it?" Lu Renxin said, "The sin of crucifying the Holy Son, just a few of you bad old men dare to bear it?" You just wait until the end of the world in the karmic fire of hell......"

However, at this moment, Shui Yunyu next to him suddenly pulled Lu Ren's sleeve, "Mr. Lu, why don't we kill that murderer now?" It's disgusting to watch......"

Hearing Shui Yunyu suddenly speak in a tone that saw a slug, Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, because in the original plot, after the murderer was released, he used an unusually rampant posture to demonstrate on all sides, no wonder Shui Yunyu is not pleasing to the eye now, and even Lu Ren had the urge to drag him out of the screen and beat him when he watched the movie.

"This guy is a guy who plays the harlequin to the extreme......"

Lu Ren sighed secretly, and didn't answer Shui Yunyu's mention of yì, but just coldly raised his still intact arm in the face of this murderous maniac, and then squeezed it hard!

"Uh-"

As his five fingers clenched violently, the murderer who was still standing on the stone steps suddenly covered his heart and howled loudly, without howling, his fierce eyes suddenly rolled white, and he rolled down from the high stone steps in the air, and by the time he landed, he was completely exhausted!

"Bang!"

The murderer's body fell heavily into the pile, causing the people next to him to retreat again and again, and even greater chaos broke out at the scene during the pushing, shoving, and shoving.

"Look, it's clear who's damned."

Jesus leaned on a guard, but spoke in a mocking tone.

"It's useless for you to tell me, now they want your life." Pilate replied indifferently without looking back, "I always knew who deserved to die and who didn't, but it's a pity that your life is not good." ”

Jesus smiled and didn't speak again, Pilate naturally didn't have nothing to say, and the guards next to him didn't dare to speak freely without being instructed, and for a moment the walls of the city became silent, in stark contrast to the noise below.

"Let's go."

Seeing Jesus being taken away by the guards at Pilate's signal, Lu Ren lost the interest of continuing to watch, turned around on his own, and walked out against the flow of people.

"Where are you going?"

The twins were stunned, and hurriedly chased after him and asked in a low voice.

"Go and block him."

Lu Ren sneered and raised his chin, and the twins followed his line of sight, just in time to see that Pan Sen also got up at the same time, taking advantage of the commotion to touch the direction of the dungeon.

"Please don't do that, sir."

Just when Pan Sen was already able to see the door of the dungeon, and was about to tear off the black robe wrapped around his body and turn back into a demon image, the head of a female ghost with long hair covering his face suddenly came out not far from his feet, and the two blood-stained lips mechanically closed one by one,

"We don't want to go to war with you, but please don't embarrass us and leave quietly."

"Are you dreaming?"

Pan Sen looked at the female ghost's head arrogantly, and casually ripped off the cloak on his body and threw it aside, "The guy who hides his head and tail, why, I know that it's not my opponent who doesn't even dare to show his real body......"

However, just when the last word "?" was still in his mouth, two dazzling blue flames suddenly burst out from his chest, instantly drowning his whole body!

Seeing that the negotiation was hopeless, Lan Xiaoqian took the lead and made a brazen move! (To be continued.) )
