Chapter 282 Light and Darkness - Sima Jingtian
Today is the first day of the opening of the Peng Lan Festival. Most people went to the Thunder Square in the city to attend the festival ceremony, so even the original downtown area seemed particularly depressed. Except for some fixed shops, the mobile hawkers have long disappeared, and compared with yesterday, soldiers with helmets can be seen everywhere in the city. At a glance, people know that these soldiers are not the usual city guards, but real iron-blooded soldiers.
Maina, who had just walked out of the Baolai Inn, hung on Mu Yunfei like a little monkey and said:
"Brother Ouyang, anyway, there is still a long time before the sacrificial ceremony. Why don't we go to church and have a look? Didn't we promise to help Grandma Wu find her granddaughter?"
"There is nothing to see in the church, except for the corpse... You didn't pay attention to it. Now the city is full of soldiers. The church must be heavily guarded. Let's do it next time!" Mu Yunfei almost spilled the beans, but fortunately he immediately changed his mouth.
"No, I don't! Brother Ouyang, take it to have a look!" Marina said unrelentingly. Ma Tian, who was beside him, only shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Mu Yunfei and spread his hands. Obviously, he couldn't do anything about this daughter.
Mu Yunfei couldn't do nothing about Marina's coquettishness. He shook his head with a wry smile:
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to have a look!"
"Good!"
After ten years of development in Western Jin, although its status in the hearts of the people is still different from that of the royal family, it is still extremely noble. Hundreds of people in Penglan Church have been slaughtered, which is unprecedented and definitely a major event in the past 100 years. However, there were no riots for the people in Penglan City as expected. In fact, the people's reaction was somewhat beyond the speculation of all forces, including Mu Yunfei!
At this moment, outside the church is full of soldiers. Outside the gate, a small number of residents in the city gathered and are talking about it at this moment.
"This uncle, what's going on? Why are you all standing at the door?" At this moment, Mu Yunfei and the other three had squeezed into the front of the crowd, and Marina, a familiar man, asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"Little sister, you don't know. I heard that a thunder fell from the sky last night and killed all the guards in the church, including those servants..." The uncle was a warm-hearted man and quickly talked to Ma Lina enthusiastically, but Mu Yunfei looked at the uncle and his face floated. There is a smile.
"Do they also deserve to be called divine servants? Bah! They are beasts! Have you heard that when the soldiers came to investigate that night, they found that there was a dungeon in the church, and the soldiers saved countless girls from the dungeon! One of them is Uncle Li's daughter in our village. She disappeared after visiting the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony last month. She was imprisoned in it. What a pity! What a clever daughter has been ruined by these beasts! You deserve it! I won't believe in any bullshit anymore!" A young man next to him cursed angrily.
"Li is right. I also heard that all the girls who came to church before will be spoiled by those so-called servants. If they are disobedient, they will be locked up and beaten and even killed! Last night, God was angry and punished by thunder and killed all the people inside!" Another old woman looked at the church and said hatefully.
"Cut~ You're all wrong! My cousin's brother's distant aunt's son's nephew served in the city guard camp. According to him, a strong man should not like what the Great Bright Holy See did to rescue those children. As for the beast in the church, it was just the strong man who took care of it by the way!" The man who spoke was a well-informed person at first glance, but he was really eye-catching. After a short pause, he lowered his voice and said:
"My cousin's brother's distant aunt's son's nephew said that today, the lord of the city will announce the crimes committed by the church at the sacrificial ceremony, especially if we are guessing here, why don't we go and have a look!"
"I didn't expect that the Great Light Church turned out to be like this! I have to go back immediately and tell everyone in the village that I will never believe in the Great Light again, and don't believe in the Great Light Holy See!"
"Yes, I also have to tell my aunt that she is poisoned by the teachings of the Great Bright Holy See. I have to come to her to attend the sacrificial ceremony to make her fully recognize the true face of the Bright Holy See!"
"Yes, let's go and inform others"
......
Originally, what everyone was talking about was that the church had done a bad thing. Not many people thought it was the idea of the Holy See, but under the careful promotion of these people, the onlookers had hated the whole Holy See, and everyone soon dispersed. It seemed that they wanted to go back to inform all their relatives and friends and go to the Thunder Square to see the Great Square. Crimes committed by the Holy See of Light.
Since the church could not be entered, Mu Yunfei and the three also went to the Thunder Square. As Ma Tian walked, he smiled at Mu Yunfei and said:
"Ha ha, Ouyang, this incident is enough for the Pope to drink a pot, but it is not easy to bring down the Holy See! Three feet of ice is not a day's cold! That Sima Yun only has two hands. He arranged all those who wanted to come just now!"
"It should be! However, seeing the whole picture, after this incident, the prestige of the Great Bright Holy See will definitely plummet in the Western Jin Dynasty, won't it?
Mu Yunfei did not hide the incident of the night slaughter church from Ma Tian. In his opinion, Ma Tian is a trustworthy person, and from Ma Tian's attitude towards the Holy See, he seems to have a deep hatred. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend! It's just that when Mu Yunfei told Ma Tian what happened last night, he didn't talk about his separation of Sirius.
"Brother Ouyang, I want to ask you for help!" After a moment of silence, Ma Tian opened his mouth again, but at this moment, his face was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Brother Ma, why are you polite? Just say anything. As long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
"Then I thank Ouyang first. There may be some unexpected things happening in the heavenly ceremony. Please ask Ouyang to take care of Lina!"
"Good!"
......
Thunder Square is the largest open square in Penglan City, which can accommodate the next 200,000 people at the same time. In the middle of the square stands a huge bronze statue with a height of three feet high. The face is cold. The eyes inlaid by the two black gems emit a light and deep light under the sun. He wears golden armor and holds a long sword in his right hand to the sky! And in his left hand is a lightning with the word "Z" in his hand, as if Thor had gone down to earth.
Sima Jinglei, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty!
"Hula!" All the people who participated in the sacrifice, under the leadership of Sima Yun, the lord of the city, knelt down to the bronze statue of Sima Jinglei. Sima Yun's heroic and slightly hoarse voice remembered in the square:
"God bless the eight years, February 30, the unfilial grandson Sima Yun and all the soldiers and civilians of Peng Lancheng worship the Holy Emperor. May the Holy Emperor protect us in the Western Jin Dynasty for thousands of years! Keep Peng Lan safe and the people healthy! Long live the Holy Emperor!"
"Hangt Long live the Holy Emperor!"
"Hangt Long live the Holy Emperor!" ......
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted from their hearts, and for a moment, the voice shocked the world! I can't help but make people's blood boil!
After more than 2,000 years, the prestige of Sima Jinglei is still so high in the hearts of the people of the Western Jin Dynasty. It is indeed worthy of being a legendary emperor! Mu Yunfei was the first time to see such a large-scale rally, which was also deeply shocked!
"Fathers and fellow villagers, be quiet and quiet!" Sima Yun stood on the temporary two-foot high altar, raised his hands and pressed down a few times before the square slowly quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes to the altar.
"The sacrificial ceremony is the oldest tradition of our Western Jin Dynasty. It is a transcendent meeting for the soldiers who died on the battlefield and the souls of my unresolved souls in the Western Jin Dynasty. It has lasted for more than 2,000 years since the Holy Emperor! But until 20 years ago, because the late emperor was instigated and deceived by traitors to use troops against the Nanhuai Empire, not only was this tradition forced to be interrupted, but also made innocent people die! At this moment, in the face of the thunder of the ancestor Holy Emperor Sima, I, Sima Yun, the city owner of Penglan City, apologize to everyone on behalf of the emperor and the Sima family!" After saying that, Sima Yun bowed deeply to everyone in the square!
As a high-ranking royal family, the Sima family actually apologized to the common people. The huge square was silent, and people were stunned by Sima Yun's words. But the silence did not last long, and there was another thunderous cry in the square:
"H Long live my emperor!"
"Hil long live the Western Jin Dynasty!"
"H Long live the city lord!" ......
"Before the beginning of this sacred sacrificial ceremony, I have a major event to announce to everyone!" After Sima Yun's voice sounded, the square calmed down again, and everyone listened attentively to the big things to be announced by the lord of the city. Sima Yun cleared his throat and said in great pain:
"Do you remember the coming-of-age ceremony I held in Peng Lancheng a month ago? Some people may have guessed, yes, after the bar mitzvah, I lost nearly 20 girls in Peng Lancheng. In the past month, the city lord's mansion has launched almost all its strength, but it couldn't find these 20 girls. Just when we gave up, yesterday! Last night, 12 of the 20 missing girls came back! They are all bruised and tortured... But they are lucky, because there are still eight girls who have lost their youth forever and their precious lives forever!"
Who was not born by his parents and who had no children? Countless parents burst into tears from Sima Yun's narrative, "Who did it? Kill them!" I don't know who shouted so loudly in the crowd, which suddenly caused a response.
"Gercely punish the murderer! Revenge the children!"
"Kill all these bastards!" ......
"Everyone, don't worry. Who did it? It has been recorded by the Hawkeye in the army. Everyone, please have a look!" Sima Yun handed over all seven eagles to an old man in a magic robe beside him. The old man turned around and pointed the eagle's eye stone at a square black curtain that had already been prepared on the altar.
When the magic was injected into the Eagle Eye, a white beam of light instantly shone on the black curtain. It was a gloomy and terrible cell. The torture in the cell was full of torture, and some were still dripping blood, and the corners of each cell were full of corpses. There were men and women, old and young, and some were no more than adults, revealing Some of them obviously just died. As the man who recorded all this with Hawkeye turned around and went up to the steps, he soon came to a hall.
"Ah! Isn't that the church hall?"
"It's really a church. Is this cell under the church?" The crowd has begun to whisper.
In the corridor, the aisles are all killed guards, lying on the ground. And the last piece of Hawkeye took everyone's eyes into a room without a door, in which there were five bodies of girls. These bodies were extremely pale and obviously died of excessive blood loss.
"Ya, that's my Yaya! Oh my God! My poor girl!" As the camera approached, an old woman in the crowd immediately recognized one of the previously missing daughters. She lost her voice and became painful, and then fainted. Fortunately, the people around her treated her in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I don't think I need to tell you who did it anymore! How do you say we should punish them?
"Kill! Kill all these good demons!"
"Exvict the Great Bright Holy See from our Western Jin Dynasty!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely give everyone justice today!" Sima Yun said loudly.
Just when everyone thought he was going to say something behind him, Sima Yun quickly came down from the altar and came to the position of Mu Yunfei. He knelt down on the ground and shouted:
"I, Sima Yun and Peng Lan and the people of the whole city welcome our emperor to Peng Lan in person! Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The people in the square were confused, and all forces were stunned. Even Mu Yunfei turned his head and looked at Ma Tian with a calm face. He was actually Sima Jingtian, the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty! Isn't it the princess who still hangs his hands around his neck? ......
