Chapter 515 The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high
Zhang Tianshi was doing it on the altar, and suddenly saw these three bloody human heads, and he forgot the words directly. I was stunned for a long time......
It was the little Taoist priest behind him who reminded him that he came back to his senses and reluctantly continued to talk about the "Taishang Sansheng Wonderful Sutra for Resolving Grievances":
This scripture is not the only solution to one person's grievances. Thou shalt be sincere, and thou shalt recite the sutra a hundred times, and all the people of a nation shall have a knot of grievances, and all thou shalt be liberated......"
~~
At the same time, outside Nanchang City, on the bank of the Ganjiang River, on the temporary execution ground.
Batch after batch of prisoners were escorted to the river, kneeling and bowing their heads.
The executioner slashed down the ghost's head knife, and the heads fell to the ground.
Then replace the next batch of beheaded......
There are so many heads to chop off. Later, the executioner's ghost-headed knives were all rolled up, and they were so tired that they couldn't lift their arms, so they had to change officers and soldiers to execute them for them.
In the end, the riverside was densely packed with headless corpses, and the blood stained the Ganjiang River red, and when it flowed to Poyang Lake, wisps of blood could still be seen.
Originally, watching the head killing was the favorite entertainment of the common people. But the citizens of Nanchang who came to see the excitement today were all numb. Today, they have deeply realized what it means to be 'human life is like a mustard'.
This mass execution aroused strong fear in them. It was as if it was next to be pulled in, with a click.
They can no longer see themselves as outsiders watching the excitement, and they want to stay away from this hellish execution ground on earth. but was stopped by a heavily armed armyβ
"His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, everyone must watch the punishment to the end! Otherwise, it will be the same party! β
Yes, this next one will not be able to leave, so they can only stay and continue to watch this mass execution, which has caused them great fear......
Zhu Di sat on the execution table, looking at the frightened crowd in front of him, as well as the rolling head, not only did he feel uncomfortable, but he also felt a little excited.
This feeling of dominating everything and killing people like a mustard is so fascinating......
He suddenly realized that it made sense for the eldest brother not to let the sixth brother do this...... As long as you do this kind of work once, you will no longer take human life seriously.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, forced himself to be normal, and set his eyes on Nanchang City. The heart says that the real confrontation has begun, right?
~~
I don't know if it was stimulated by those three heads, the duration of the Heavenly Master's speech today was obviously much shorter than usual.
After hastily finishing the scriptures and not expounding the meaning of the subtle words, Zhang Tianshi was supported by the Taoist boy to get off the altar and go to the quiet room set up in the yamen to rest.
"What's the matter with those three heads?" He asked Sun Jing with a dark face.
"Originally, it was supposed to be executed tomorrow, but I didn't expect to mention today." Sun Jingxiu's face turned pale and said:
"And where are the three heads? They have gone crazy, killing batch after batch outside Zhangjiang Gate, dyeing the Ganjiang River red. I've already killed thousands of people by now, and I'm still killing them......"
"Thousands?" When Zhang Tianshi heard this, his face turned blue and white for a while, and the huge fear made him breathless.
At this time, Xiao Daotong came in and reported: "Sect Master, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has summoned you. β
As soon as he heard this name, Zhang Tianshi suddenly leaned over and vomited wildly.
The little Dao aunts hurriedly followed with a spittoon, stroked his back and fed him pills, and took it with water......
After being busy for a while, Zhang Tianshi relieved himself, and collapsed weakly in Sun Jingxiu's arms, and convulsed from time to time: "This seat is not going." β
"Sect Master, it's not impossible not to be afraid." Sun Jingxiu was also shocked by today's collective execution, for fear of upsetting the two princes, he could only persuade his own heavenly master: "Their fierce flames are too strong, and if they disobey at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable." β
"They're the Demon King, the Demon King." Zhang Tianshi, who has never seen wind and waves since he was a child, is really afraid. I didn't dare to face the murderous highness...... 's younger brother.
"Sect Master, you are a Heavenly Master, how can you be afraid of the Demon King?" Sun Jingxiu said speechlessly.
I heard Zhang Tianshi say quietly: "Do you know that one foot tall and one foot high?" β
"......" Sun Jingxiu was speechless.
~~
However, Zhang Tianshi made sense, the King of Chu summoned him, and he couldn't help but see him.
In the end, he was still changed into a royal robe by the people below and sent to the main hall to meet His Highness.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianshi has also undergone professional training since he was a child, and even if he panics like a dog, he can still maintain the dignity of Tianshi on his face.
He took a deep breath, and after entering the hall, he bowed to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting on the right seat, and said that he would meet His Highness.
"Master Zhang, let's calm down." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his hand slightly, looked at Zhang Maocheng with a smile and said, "You are the niece and son-in-law of Teacher Ben Wang, we are also a family, so there is no need to be formal." β
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Maocheng straightened up, and the king of Chu gave him another seat.
After he sat down, Zhu Zhen thanked him for his tireless efforts to preside over the Dharma for the senior brother.
"It's all as it should be." Zhang Maocheng hurriedly smiled and said: "As His Highness said, they are all one family, so there is no need to talk about two families." β
"Yes, yes." Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Before we met, I thought that the Heavenly Master was like a fairy and didn't eat fireworks in the world, but I didn't expect to be so approachable." β
Zhang Maocheng said in his heart that it would also score people, but he smiled and said: "Poor Dao has the same idea of His Highness. β
"Okay, since I'm so involved, let's open the skylight and say something." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Can the Heavenly Master know that there is a river of blood outside Nanchang City today, how many people have been executed?" β
"I've heard of it...... Zhang Maocheng's face turned pale, and he said reluctantly: "But I don't know how many people there are." β
"Five thousand seven hundred and twelve." Zhu Zhensen reported a series of sensational figures.
"So many ......," Zhang Maocheng wanted to vomit again. But the next moment he couldn't care about his physical reactions, and his mind was completely occupied by fear.
I only heard Zhu Zhen ask in a cold voice: "Do you know why these people died?" β
"No, I don't know." Zhang Maocheng's forehead was sweating.
"A small part is because of Xiong Qitai's murder of Liu Lian, and most of it is because of the "No Matter the Account Book" case!" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "And the reason why Xiong Qitai wants to kill Liu Lian is also for the book "No Matter the Account Book"! β
As he spoke, he slapped the table and said, "So, it can be said that they all died because of that "No Matter the Account Book"! What is recorded in that account book, the Heavenly Master should know by heart! β
Zhu Zhen's sharp gaze stabbed Zhang Tianshi in the eyes, leaving him with nowhere to hide, so he could only sweat like a pulp and say:
"Poor Dao has just heard that it is an account book that records the hidden households in the hidden fields. There is also an industry on the top, and the poor road is indeed not strict. β
"When the poor Dao goes back, he will be severely punished, and those Taoist priests who are traitors will be removed from the mountain gate and left to be dealt with by the government!" Zhang Tianshi knew that this bleeding was inevitable, so he simply took the initiative and said: "In addition, Zhengyi is willing to donate 50,000 mu of Guantian as official land. How about paying 20,000 tributes to the two highnesses every year? β
"But you just can't clear it again, Qi Min makes up households?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
"Your Highness, Jiangxi has always been like this. The court of any dynasty and generation will give Zhengyi some privileges. Zhang Tianshi said and arched his hand towards the old sixth, half asking and half demonstrating: "Poor Dao is the chief leader of Taoism in the world appointed by the emperor, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion has been inherited for thousands of years, and dignity still needs to be maintained." β
