When everyone asked Elder Zhizhen what this was for, Elder Zhizhen just smiled bitterly, and then said: "I came in poverty, witnessed the economic take-off, and also witnessed the rampant materialism, and these are all kinds of things in the world, but I never thought that this world would become what it is now, and the end will come, but in horizontal comparison, Rongcheng can have a stable life, although tired, but not to live a miserable life, in Yuzhou, although it is in the hands of a young man, but it is stable, on the other hand, in the wine city, It's already the sad situation now, the city lord is mediocre, leading beasts to eat people, and cults are rampant, how can I stand it? ”

When the Supreme Elder said what he thought in his heart, everyone nodded, and they also felt that it was no problem to start resisting at this time, they had endured it for two years, and now they really couldn't go on, if they didn't resist now, when would they wait?

However, at this time, a pilgrim hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, I heard that after this matter is over, Xue Ba will give us the land, if Xue Ba is overthrown, won't the land not reach our hands?" ”

After hearing the words of this person, Elder Zhizhen directly scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still not human? There is nothing wrong with dividing the land, but you pin your hopes on a guy who is scavenging the people's fat and ointment on weekdays, this is simply a fool, what do you think you have to make Xue Ba divide the land? Just by virtue of the few words he said this time? ”

The True Elder is really angry now, lamenting his misfortune and angry that he would believe the words of a demon, can it be regarded as if he did not see what these two demons did before? This is obviously a matter of seeking skin with the tiger, but in the end, some people really believe it, and they are really blinded by the current interests, don't these people know that Xue Ba may regret it at any time after mastering the power?

Elder Supreme Truth was angry now, and then the guy who was still asking questions just now immediately said, "I know it's wrong, Elder True, please forgive me." ”

And after hearing the words of apology, the Supreme Elder also knew that the other party had now known that he was wrong, and now he did not pursue it, but said in a deep voice: "At such a critical moment now, we must respond to the people outside, although we can only hand out leaflets, but it is better than doing nothing. ”

The crowd nodded quickly, and then chose to leave, preparing to distribute leaflets throughout the city, which was the only thing they could do now.

After everyone left, the Elder Zhizhen sat silently in the Buddha hall, looking at the empty piece on the altar, seemed to understand something, and seemed to be confused a lot, worshipping the Buddha all his life, and suddenly found that the Buddha was no longer there, so what should he worship next? However, although the Buddha has disappeared, the teachings of the Buddha that he had learned in the past came to his mind in an instant, and it seemed that he had realized it in an instant.

"What is a Buddha? I am the Buddha, the so-called Zen enlightenment, the truth understood, all I obtained, the Buddha has no appearance, it is not in the golden body, no more wood carving, not in the clay sculpture. If the Buddha is in the heart, in the heart, and understands all the truths, then I am the Buddha! At this time, Elder Zhizhen suddenly understood a lot.

"I have a pearl, and I have been locked in the dust for a long time. Today, the dust is gone, illuminating the mountains and rivers. ”

At this time, Elder Zhizhen finally had an epiphany after 50 years of learning, and understood what a Buddha is, and this perception is the result of seeing it thoroughly, and it is not clear what the Tao is, and this is the epiphany, and in Taoism, this situation is called entering the Tao, and it is a state that cultivators can not encounter.

And after going out, the people had to disperse and post and distribute leaflets in the city, and it was late at night, and there must have been people patrolling at normal times, and if they found out, they would be arrested red-handed, and eventually they would either die in prison or be released after being drained of their money.

But it was still a time of heavy snowfall, and in such weather, the beggars in the streets were looking for a place to cat, and there were even fewer soldiers on patrol, so that it was the most appropriate time to put up leaflets, and they would not be discovered at all.

Among the dozen or so pilgrims, not all of them believed the words of the Supreme Elder, and one of them, who had once questioned the Supreme Elder, had a crooked brain at this time.

This person's name is Shi Jiwen, and his brain is not very good, at this time, he still believes what he heard during the day, that is, after this matter is over, the city lord Xue Ba is going to divide the land for everyone, and such an amazing news appears in his mind, and he can't go away immediately.

"No, the old monk must be lying to me, I know from his tone that he has connections with those people outside the city, so after the wine city is occupied, he will be able to rise to prominence, but we people have nothing, no, for the sake of the industry that may be obtained in the future, we must prevent this from happening." Shi Kevin thought silently in his heart.

As the old saying goes, a person who is originally quite upright may actually change his mentality when faced with huge benefits.

And now at this time, as the ancients said, people who are blinded by profits, what they do will make people unbelievable, Shi Kewen stuffed the leaflet in his hand into his clothes, and then went to find someone, and when he found the soldiers in the city, he directly began to shout: "I want to report, someone in the city is rebelling." ”

After hearing the news, the soldier didn't dare to slack off at all, and then reported the news, and Shi Keeven's face finally showed a smile, because he knew that the property he might get in the future was saved, and maybe he could join the city lord's command.

…………

Overnight, Xu Xing, Lin Yue and Li Yiqiao were all discussing countermeasures in a dilapidated room outside the city, because the language offensive did not have a very good effect during the day, so the three of them were also thinking about whether to find a way to expand the advantages of propaganda at this time.

However, just as it was daytime, someone suddenly came to report, "Lord Xingxian, there are more than a dozen corpses hanging on the castle tower, go and take a look." ”

After Xu Xing learned the news, he hurriedly went out to watch, the snow had stopped, the ground was thick with snow, the sky was gloomy, and the light around him was not very good, but Xu Xing's physical fitness was always here, standing hundreds of meters away and looking at the city tower, he could see clearly a group of people hanging on the wooden pole on the city tower in an instant.

When Xu Xing saw the corpse on the wooden pole, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't know much of the people in the wine city, that is, two people, one of them was the uncle who took him in at the beginning, and the other person was the old monk who gave him advice before, and now, Elder Zhizhen is hanging on the wooden pole at this time, and the whole person is already the color of iron blue, and Elder Zhizhen's bald head is the most conspicuous, judging from their stiff bodies, they must have been dead for a long time.

"Elder Zhizhen has knife wounds on his body, most of them were killed by someone, but I don't know how Elder Zhizhen was exposed." Lin Yue stood beside Xu Xing and said.

Li Yiqiao didn't have such good eyesight, and after he used the telescope to watch, he couldn't see very clearly.

Xu Xing was already angry after seeing this scene, although she once knocked down the Buddha statue in the temple, but later Elder Zhizhen gave her advice regardless of her previous suspicions, and she was able to admit her mistakes at the beginning, this kind of performance has already let Xu Xing know that Elder Zhizhen is definitely a good person, but unfortunately, a good person is not rewarded, and now he has been killed, and he will not be at peace after he dies, and he was hung on a wooden pole to show the public. At this time, someone on the city wall moved a loud sound, and then began to shout, "Listen outside, these rebellious fellows on the wooden pole are your example, get out of the way as soon as possible, otherwise, in the future, we will also cut off your heads, and the corpses will be used to feed the dogs, and the heads will be used to kick football." ”

There was no chaos in the city, the civilians had been fascinated by the promises made by Xue Ba and Dong Chao, and the cult created by Dong Chao had also played a huge role at this time, 20,000 believers were propagating in the city, saying that as long as the outcasts rushed in, they would kill everyone, and in this case, people who didn't know the truth could only fight to survive, and the true elder who wanted to tell the truth was now also killed, and the residents in the city didn't know anything.

At this time, Xu Xing took a deep breath, she knew that her behavior of toppling the Buddha statue was wrong, after all, it was the old monk who believed in the gods for decades, but she was pushed down by her angry self, and now Xu Xing understands her mistake, and she wants to apologize but has no chance.

"Lin Yue, give the order to go down and prepare to attack the city, I will be at the forefront." Xu Xing said gloomily, her eyes were already full of anger.

After Lin Yue saw Xu Xing's gloomy expression, he persuaded: "Anger will blind your eyes, it's not the right time to do it now, at least wait until the snow melts, isn't it?" ”

The south is not better than the north, after the snow in the north, due to the temperature, the time for the snow to melt will be very slow, and the temperature in the south is higher than in the north, even if it is snowy, as long as the weather is clear, the time of three or four days will all melt away, and now at this time, Lin Yue just hopes that Xu Xing can calm down and wait for the right opportunity to attack.

However, Xu Xing turned his head to stare at Lin Yue at this time and said: "It's time now, everything is up to me, I am the leader in this matter, you are just the examiner." ”

Lin Yue didn't know what to say at this time, when he said that he was the examiner, Xu Xing had been asking him to help, and now at this time, he wanted to help, but Xu Xing refused himself, but asked himself not to interfere.

"Okay, okay, I'm the examiner, I won't care about you, Li Yiqiao, let the people under your hands smear red mud on their foreheads, prepare to attack the city, have breakfast or something, and eat it after entering the city." Lin Yue could only agree with Xu Xing's decision in the end.

In order to distinguish friend from foe, Lin Yue decided to imitate the practice of people in the past, that is, to use red clay to smear his forehead red, in the southwest region, most of the land is red, so paint can be seen everywhere.

In ancient times, there was a peasant army that invaded Chang'an, and one of the troops was called Red Eyebrow, which used clay and other paints to paint the eyebrows and other areas red, and this was the best way to distinguish between friend and foe.

In the Central Plains, it is generally yellow soil, while in the south, it is mainly red soil, and in the northeast, if it is divided according to color, there is also black soil.

Xu Xing silently waited for everyone to wipe their foreheads, looking at the city wall in the distance, she was already full of anger, at this moment he only wanted to do one thing, that is, to kill people, to kill all the evildoers.

"Is it done?" Xu Xing couldn't help but urge, and now Xu Xing couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Yiqiao hurriedly said: "Wait for half an hour, the order has been passed down, but these people are basically disaster victims, and it is very difficult to organize, half an hour is enough." ”

"Then let them apply slowly, those who have already smeared, follow me!" Xu Xing said such a sentence, and then rushed out directly, in an instant, Xu Xing had already rushed out of a long distance, Li Yiqiao gritted his teeth, and shouted behind him: "Brothers, follow Xingxian Chong." ”
