Chapter 278: The Holy King Sets Benefits, and All the People Return to Virtue
"If the king wants to seek the people of the world, he must first set up his own benefits, for example, if the sun of winter and the yin of summer, the people come without calling, this is called returning to virtue."
Dean Gou Chen, Shi Shouba'an, sat on the tower of Lumen City, staring at the steaming iron teapot in front of him, and suddenly such a sentence came out of his mouth.
Qi Jingzhi, who was standing by the city wall, raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the early winter sun hanging in the southern sky, bright but not scorching, warm but not fierce, it is indeed very suitable for metaphor for the holy king's virtue and politics.
He lowered his head again, looking at the people who helped the old and the young, poured out of the nest, and rushed to the entrance of Dongguo Cai Market to watch the Hook Chen Courtyard kill the demons, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Is this also the holy king's benefit, and the people's return to virtue?" ”
"Hehe, it's been years since the Demon Suppression Courtyard did such a thing. In their opinion, killing a few demons in public like a monkey show will not help the overall situation at all, but will be despised by the government and the opposition because of grandstanding. ”
Shou Ba didn't even raise his eyelids, and said leisurely: "But Da Sima and this official both think that since the people like to watch the excitement, we should give them excitement, and at the same time, it can also make them feel that the world is still peaceful, and they can feel a little more stable and happy in their hearts. ”
Qi Jingzhi frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Shou Changshi's words don't sound right, but after thinking about it, there is some truth in it." ”
"When Jiuzhen was in turmoil, first the Tianyi Sect Tiger Monarch Daoist pretended to be a tengu and smashed the city gate, and then there was a heart-picking woman who slaughtered the golden knife Wei Clan's full gate, and at the same time, there were rumors in the city, saying that the lord of the country ordered the Demon Suppression Courtyard to raise evil ghosts with dog skin and iron claws, and dig up the hearts and livers of living people to bribe the tengu, which made the city panic and the hearts of the people shaken......"
"As soon as this person's heart is in turmoil, the Saint Jiang Humane Law that relies on the way of the Martial Saint King to seal the gods will no longer be stable, and the East China Sea Golden Qi and Siqiu Gods who were suppressed by him will be in turmoil, and the Tianyi Sect and the Ding brothers will also have an opportunity."
"Just looking at these powers of the Fourth Realm if they want to succeed, they still have to disturb the hearts of the people in the world first, and then you will know whether these people have the excitement of beheading and beheading, and whether they are stable and happy in their hearts, it seems to be insignificant, but in fact, it is quite important."
Qi Jingzhi walked to Shouba and sat down, absentmindedly staring at the water vapor rising and dissipating above the iron teapot: "Linzi is very rich and solid, and its people all play the flute, drums, build and build, play the piano, fight cocks, walk dogs, Liubo, and juju......"
"When I entered the city a few days ago, I saw this kind of scene, and I secretly felt that it was inappropriate, and I didn't understand why the lord of the country and the princes of the court would let the people in the capital indulge in enjoying and having fun, so there was such a deep meaning in it?"
Hearing this, Shou Bao finally looked up in surprise: "Compared with your outstanding talent in cultivation, Shou actually appreciates your exquisite mind of drawing inferences from one case to another and seeing subtle things. It's just ......"
Shou Ba paused for a moment, reached out and picked up the iron teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the young man after scalding the tea set, the smile on his face was very playful: "It's just that the atmosphere in the capital is exaggerated and the people are keen on pleasure, but it is not that anyone deliberately indulges it, but that it is human nature." ”
As he spoke, he poured himself the same glass, fanned it with his big ear, took a sip of it, and then raised his head to drink it again, a sigh of satisfaction in his throat.
Dean Chen put down the teacup and stretched out his hand to the west of the city tower: "According to the ancient system, five families are compared, five ratios are Lu, and an alley is where twenty-five families live next to each other. When this place was called Linzi 300 Lu, it was already amazing. ”
However, when King Huan ascended the throne, he appointed Guan Zi to govern, set up seven cities in the palace and seven hundred women, and levied the funds of the night to support the army. Hehe, although this Lu is not the other Lu, but the number of 700 is still shocking, and in those years, there were indeed sufficient military resources and the country's strength was growing...... What is the nature of this man, it is not necessary to ask. ”
Suddenly, he heard the words "Seven Hundred Women" and "The Capital of the Night Combination", and the sixteen-year-old boy's face suddenly became hot.
He raised the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, only to feel that the soup was moist and slippery, and his lips and teeth were fragrant.
Thinking of Shouba's style of drinking tea and even the politics of King Huan in the other party's mouth, the young man suddenly realized that the god of Shougong in front of him was also a person who liked to be lively and hedonistic, otherwise he would not keep saying that he was for official business, but he brought a charcoal basin and a full set of tea sets, and came to the Lumen City Tower to make tea and talk about the ancients and have fun with the people.
When the two of them were silently drinking tea, there was a sudden loud noise under the city tower, and the sounds of inhalation, exclamation, and cheers came one after another, which was deafening.
Qi Jingzhi got up and looked, only to see that in the center of the entrance to the vegetable market, a group of demons bound by golden chains knelt in a row, among which the young beautiful woman in a white dress was already in a different place, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Geshu Dashi stood beside the beautiful woman's body, holding a long black knife in his right hand and holding the beautiful woman's head high in his left hand.
Under the light of the warm sun of early winter, the head of the beautiful mantis suddenly changed, and it turned into a hideous and vicious white wolf head.
"This kind of monster is called 'Zhinu', it is a hundred-year-old wolf into a fine, into the shape of a beauty, dedicated to the young man to recommend the pillow, once the man is confused by the beauty, not only will he enter the wolf's belly, but also the relatives at home will inevitably be poisoned!"
Every time Geshu Dashi said a word or two, the people who watched the excitement would be amazed.
By the time he finished talking about the roots of this "knowing girl" wolf demon, the women around him were already full of righteous indignation, and the scenes of mothers training children, sisters and brothers, and wives and husbands were staged one after another.
"This female wolf demon acts a little like the original black donkey spirit."
Qi Jingzhi said secretly in his heart, but his eyes were attracted by the Geshu knife that exuded a sad knife aura.
After ascending the spiritual platform and subduing Bi Fang, the angry eyes of the green feather crane increased greatly, Qi Jingzhi did not need to use the silver wind mother candlestick, just with the heart candle Ding fire can see the details, the hole candle is subtle.
He could see it clearly, and at the moment when the head of the Zhinu showed its true appearance, the knife ghost of the Geshu knife disappeared in a flash, and a phantom was torn out of the white wolf's head and stuffed into his mouth.
"At the beginning, Geshu Dashi used himself as a sheath, forcibly swallowed Chen Taiqiu's knife and suppressed it, and renamed it Geshu Dao, and he jumped from a layman to the second realm, and began to practice with a sad knife qi, which is already very unreasonable."
"But now it seems that as long as he can withstand the backlash of the sword ghost, even the heart and even the spiritual platform can be called a smooth road......
In the center of the entrance of the vegetable market, Geshu Dashi, who cut off the head of the Zhinu with a knife, didn't think about it so much, and threw the hundred-year-old white wolf's head at the feet of Dongguo Kunyu with his hand: "The little general has taken a closer look, this is your sister who has just screamed several times!" ”
Dongguo Kunyu looked down at the white ears and wolf kiss fangs, and was speechless for a while.
Geshu Dashi didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and instead loudly announced to the onlookers and civilians: "A few days ago, some evil cults and demons gathered evil cults and caused chaos in Jiuzhen County, Liaozhou, not only killing innocent people indiscriminately, but also spreading rumors and slandering the lord of the country in the city, causing chaos in Jiuzhen and turmoil in Liaozhou, and many soldiers and civilians were killed and injured. ”
"At the time of crisis, I hooked the great Sima of the Chen Yuan to personally take action, punish the demons and evils, set things right, save the people of the East China Sea from fire and water, and lay down their lives.
"Today, we escort these five demons into the capital, so that we want to kill them in front of the fathers and elders in the capital, so as to set an example and reassure people's hearts!"
Before the words fell, Geshu Dashi had already taken two quick steps to the side, and the black knife in his hand was raised high and slashed down.
The old woman in the black brocade robe didn't say a word, her head had already smashed to the ground, and her bones rolled towards the feet of the crowd.
With the girl in front, the spectators in that direction jumped to avoid snakes and scorpions, for fear of touching the head of the dead old woman and provoking the evil spirit of the monster.
Unexpectedly, the head rolled and rolled, and suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of black gas, emitting a burst of watery smell, and soon dissipated into nothing in the sunlight.
There was also a large cloud of black gas gushing out of the neck cavity of the dead old woman, which gradually disintegrated and disappeared in broad daylight, except for the slightest trace of blood.
"This evil is called 'Xingzha Po', its shape is black gas, coiled in the air of the wellhead, people or see it, all fall into the well and die!"
Hearing Geshu Dashi's introduction, Qi Jingzhi secretly appeased the Heaven and Earth Xuanjian, and at the same time felt a pity in his heart: "If this Xingzha Po is detained and refined, I am afraid that it will be another confusing treasure that will not lose to the general's feather arrow." ”
He looked at the hideous knife ghost that was suspended in mid-air, gulping in the black qi of Xingzha Po, and found that there were more than a dozen palm-sized phantoms floating around his feet, all of them were ghostly and vicious, and a wolf-headed woman in a white dress was impressively listed.
"The green ox is a slave, warding off evil spirits and ghosts, hiding the heart of the sword, and swallowing the belly of the boat...... This method is really weird and domineering, and there is no need to mention the danger, but I don't know that Xingzha Po was swallowed by the knife ghost of Geshu Dao, and he can still retain a bit of the power of confusing people's minds......"
When the black aura in everyone's eyes dissipated, Geshu Da Shilang laughed and strode towards the dark-skinned, short-skinned and chubby monk at the end of the line.
At this moment, the people standing on the east side of the vegetable market suddenly made a commotion, and the crowd separated into a sandwich road by themselves, and out of it came an old monk with a solemn appearance and gorgeous clothes, and a wooden ball with gold painting and smiling in his arms.
"Get out of the way! This is the first true master of Fuya Temple! ”
"Master of True Enlightenment? It is said that it is a great monk who practices closed-mouth meditation! ”
There were some knowledgeable people in the crowd who exclaimed, even if they hadn't heard of this Zen master, just based on the appearance of the old monk and the three words "Fuya Temple", they all showed respect.
As a result, where the True Zen Master passed, everyone was in harmony and bowed their heads.
Dongguo Kunyu was even more busy flying up and kicked the hundred-year-old white wolf's head back to Geshu Dashi, so as not to collide with the Buddhist monks.
He himself hurriedly tidied up his appearance, greeted him with a look of surprise, and saluted the old monk respectfully.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zen Master Zhenjue did not speak through the wooden ball messenger in his arms, but just smiled and bowed his head to Dong Guo Kunyu.
Rao is like this, this little young master from the Dongguo clan is still very flattered.
He followed the side of the Zen Master of True Enlightenment step by step, his eyes fell on the monk who carried the pot, and suddenly he understood: "The Zen Master is here for that ...... That ......"
At this time, Dongguo Kunyu naturally did not recognize the monk who carried the pot as a good monk, but in front of the Zhenjue Zen Master, he couldn't call it "demon monk" and "evil monk" and the like, and he was stuck for a while.
Who knew that the Zen Master Zhenjue smiled and shook his head, and then stopped at the front of the crowd, without the slightest intention of saving the monk who carried the pot.
Geshu Dashi naturally noticed the movement here, but he only glanced at the old monk who seemed to be quite popular, and seeing that the other party was not making trouble, he immediately looked away, raised his knife in his hand, and cut off the head of the monk who was behind him.
"The monk of this mountain also, go down the mountain to the outside of the people's houses, hear the sound of people and worship on the ground, get up and enter the house to kill people and eat them, the most like to eat raw human brains!"
Geshu Dashi's voice fell, and the mountain monk appeared in his original form, and the clothes on his body were swollen and torn, revealing a terrifyingly large ape body, and his head was even more green and fanged, and it was much more vicious than Zhinu and Xingzha Po, so that the crowd retreated again and again.
In this way, the Zen Master of True Enlightenment, who stood motionless in place, became more and more conspicuous.
Geshu Dashi looked over and said straight to the point: "The master is a monk, so it's just a matter of coming to this killing field, there is no compassion, and the second is not chanting sutras to exceed ......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Zen Master Zhenjue's gaze fell on the Geshu knife in his hand, and the next words were not spoken.
The souls and evil qi of these dead ghosts on the ground have been swallowed by Geshu knife, where is the need to chant the scriptures excessively?
So Geshu Dashi knew that the old monk of Fuya Temple in front of him was a person with real skills, so he omitted all kinds of lies, and asked bluntly: "Why did the master come?" ”
Only then did the Zen Master Zhenjue step forward, stretched out his hand and pointed at the last remaining pair of boys and girls, and then held the wooden ball in his hand and bowed to Geshu Dashi.
Geshu Dashi frowned when he saw this: "Although compared to the few who died in front, these two human foxes have no evil deeds, but they also have human lives on their hands, and they have already confessed their guilt and are willing to surrender to the law, please forgive me for not being able to do what the master wants." ”
Then he took his knife and turned to the boy and the girl.
Zen Master Zhenjue hurriedly raised the wooden ball in his hand and shook it downward, and several gold bricks fell out of the mouth of the wooden ball.
These golden good things fell to the ground, dazzling the eyes of the people around them, and even Dongguo Kunyu was a little dumbfounded.
I have never seen a monk turn into a fate, how have I ever seen a monk take out money?
Geshu Dashi was also stunned, and then saw Zen Master Zhenjue stretch out his hand and pointed at the mouth of the boy and girl, and then continued to shake off the gold bricks.
Dongguo Kunyu on the side blinked his eyes and said helpfully: "Even if you commit a capital crime, before you are sentenced, you must always allow people to shout two injustices and call your mother a few times, right?" You hook Chen Yuan but seal people's mouths and don't make a sound, it's a little unkind......"
