Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 516 Dao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high

Zhang Tianshi was practicing on the capital altar, when he suddenly saw these three bloody heads, he was so frightened that he immediately forgot the words.Standing there in a daze for a while...

It was only when the little Taoist priest behind him reminded him that he came back to his senses, and reluctantly continued to preach the "Wonderful Sutra of the Three Lives of the Supreme Being", which says:

"This sutra is not the only way to solve one person's grievances. If you recite the sutra a hundred times with sincerity, all people in a country should be freed from grievances..."

~~
At the same time, outside Nanchang City, on the banks of the Ganjiang River, there was a temporary execution ground.

Batch after batch of prisoners were escorted to the riverside, kneeling and bowing their heads.

The executioner slashed off the ghost knife, and the heads rolled to the ground one by one.

Then replace a batch of beheaded...

Too many heads to chop off.In the end, the executioner's knives were all curled up, and he was too tired to lift his arms, so he had to replace officers and soldiers to execute them.

In the end, the riverside was densely packed with headless corpses, and the blood dyed the Ganjiang River red, and when it flowed to Poyang Lake, streaks of blood could still be seen.

Originally, watching beheadings was the common people's favorite entertainment.But the citizens of Nanchang who came to see the excitement today are all numb.Today they deeply understand what is meant by 'human life is worthless'.

This large-scale collective execution aroused their intense fear.As if it was his turn to be pulled in next, the knife clicked.

They could no longer regard themselves as outsiders watching the excitement, and wanted to stay away from this hellish execution ground.But was stopped by the heavily armed army——

"His Royal Highness King Yan has a decree that everyone must watch the sentence until the end! Otherwise, they will be regarded as fellow party members!"

Well, the next one can't leave either, and can only stay and continue to watch this mass execution that brought them great fear...

Zhu Di sat on the execution platform, looking at the frightened crowd and the rolling head, not only did not feel uncomfortable, but also felt a little excited.

This feeling of dominating everything and killing people like nothing is really fascinating...

He suddenly realized that it was reasonable for the eldest brother not to let the sixth do this... As long as he does this kind of work once, he will no longer take human life seriously.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, forced himself to normalize, and turned his gaze to Nanchang City.Xin said that the real confrontation has already begun, right?
~~
I don't know if it was stimulated by those three heads, but the duration of Tianshi's speech today is obviously much shorter than usual.

After hastily preaching the scriptures, Zhang Tianshi was helped by the Taoist boy to get down from the capital altar, and went to the quiet room set up in the yamen to rest.

"What happened to those three heads?" He asked Sun Jingxiu with a dark face.

"It was said that the execution would be tomorrow, but unexpectedly it was mentioned today." Sun Jingxiu said with a pale face:
"And where did those three heads come from? They've gone mad. They killed batch after batch outside Zhangjiang Gate, turning the Gan River red. They've already killed thousands by now, and they're still alive." Keep killing..."

"Thousands?" Zhang Tianshi's complexion turned blue and white after hearing this, and he was out of breath with great fear.

At this time, Xiao Daotong came in and reported: "Master, His Royal Highness King Chu has summoned you."

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Tianshi suddenly leaned over and vomited violently.

The little nuns hurriedly followed up with spittoons, stroked his back and fed him pills, which he took with clear water...

After working for a long time, Zhang Tianshi finally regained his strength, limply paralyzed in Sun Jingxiu's arms, still twitching from time to time and said: "I won't go."

"Master, it's not impossible not to go." Sun Jingxiu was also horrified by today's collective execution, fearing to offend the two princes, he could only persuade his own celestial master: "They are too ferocious. , the consequences are disastrous."

"They are demon kings, demon kings." Zhang Tianshi, who had never seen storms since he was a child, was really scared.He didn't dare to face the younger brother of His Highness... who murdered Ying Ye.

"Master, you are a celestial master, how can you be afraid of the devil king?" Sun Jingxiu said speechlessly.

Then Zhang Tianshi said quietly: "Do you know that the height is one foot, and the height of the devil is one foot?"

"..." Sun Jingxiu was speechless.

~~
However, no matter how reasonable Zhang Tianshi said, the king of Chu summoned him, and he couldn't see him.

In the end, he was still changed into the Taoist robe bestowed by the emperor by the people below, and sent to the main hall to meet His Highness.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianshi has also been professionally trained since he was a child. Even if he is panicked in his heart, he can still maintain the dignity of a Tianshi on the face.

He took a deep breath, and after entering the hall, he saluted His Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting high and upright, saying that he paid his respects to His Highness.

"Zhang Tianshi, let's get back together." His Royal Highness King Chu raised his hand slightly, looked at Zhang Maocheng with a smile and said, "You are the nephew and son-in-law of Master Wang, and we are considered a family, so there is no need to be formal."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Maocheng straightened up, and the king of Chu gave him a seat again.

After he was seated at the next seat, Zhu Zhen thanked him for his tireless efforts to preside over the ritual for the elder brother.

"Everything should be done." Zhang Maocheng hurriedly smiled and said, "As His Highness said, we are all one family, so there is no need to talk about two families."

"Okay, not bad." Zhu Zhen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Before we met, I thought the Celestial Master was like a fairy, and he didn't eat the fireworks of the world. I didn't expect to be so approachable."

Zhang Maocheng said in his heart that it would be rewarding, but on the face he apologized and said with a smile: "Pin Dao also thinks the same about His Highness."

"Okay, since you and I hit it off so well, let's open the skylight and tell the truth." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "The Heavenly Master knows how many people were executed today because blood flowed like rivers outside Nanchang City?"

"I've heard about it..." Zhang Maocheng's face turned pale, and he reluctantly said, "But the exact number of people is unknown."

"Five thousand 710 two." Zhu Zhen suddenly reported a series of shocking numbers.

"So many..." Zhang Maocheng wanted to vomit again.But in the next moment, he couldn't care about his physical reaction, and his mind was completely occupied by fear.

Zhu Zhen asked in a cold voice, "Do you know why these people died?"

"No, I don't know." Zhang Maocheng's forehead was sweating.

"A small part is because of the case of Xiong Qitai's murder of Liu Lian, but most of it is because of the case of "Regardless of the Account Book"!" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice, "The reason why Xiong Qitai wanted to kill Liu Lian was also because of the "Regardless of the Account Book"! "

As he said that, he slapped the table heavily and said: "So, it can be said that they all died because of that "Regardless of Account Book"! The Celestial Master should know exactly what is recorded in that account book!"

Zhu Zhen's sharp knife-like gaze pierced Zhang Tianshi's eyes, leaving him nowhere to hide, and he could only sweat profusely and say:

"Pindao also just heard that it is the account book that records Yintian and Yinhu. There is also an industry of Zhengdao Temple on it. Pindao is indeed not strict."

"The impoverished Taoist priests must be severely punished when they go back, and those Taoist priests who committed crimes will be kicked out of the mountain gate and let the government deal with it!" Zhang Tianshi knew that this bleeding was inevitable, so he took the initiative and said: "In addition, Zhengyi is willing to donate How about [-] acres of Guantian farmland as official land, and [-] acres of filial piety to the two highnesses each year?"

"But it's impossible to re-clear the Zhang, and Qi Min made up the household?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"Your Highness, this has always been the case in Jiangxi. Any dynasty or generation of court will give some privileges to Zhengyi." Zhang Tianshi said, bowing his hands to Lao Liu, half begging and half protesting: "Poverty is the world hand-picked by the emperor." The general leader of Taoism, the Heavenly Master Mansion has been passed down for thousands of years, and the dignity still needs to be maintained."
