Chapter 60 Bloody Wind, Yesh
The next day, Luo Ming, the assassin of Hongzhou, personally summoned the people of Hongzhou City to the Lotus Pure Land Temple in the south of the city! In fact, there is no need for Luo Ming to summon it at all. Overnight, the Lotus Pure Land Temple was burned into a blank land, and almost all the believers in the city came to know what was going on!
Fortunately, when the Lotus Pure Land Temple was built, there was enough space to preach the teachings, and the empty square was densely full of ordinary people! Zhang Xuan sat on a chair at the head of the square, with several guards beside him, one in front of them holding the imperial edict and the other holding Shangfang's sword! Ji Taixu stood there across the Liuyang Sword, kneeling in front of a row of Lotus Pure Land Sect figures in black! Li Yanzuo led Zhang Xuan's guard to guard around! The people around have never seen this battle, and they discussed with each other in horror!
"Why were the guardians of the Pure Land Religion arrested by the officials?"
"Yes!"
"Who is the official sitting on it? The shelf is bigger than us at this time--
"Why are there so many soldiers--"
For a moment, the ruins of the Lotus Pure Land Temple were chaotic, as if they were a group of flies! Although everyone did not understand why the government arrested this group of protectors and saviors who were released from the sea of suffering and reincarnate in the world of Lotus Pure Land, no one dares to ask when looking at such a serious situation! There are also some people who want to hold the relationship and ask why, but as soon as they opened their mouth, they were scolded back! However, in the eyes of these believers, this group of protectors is the gods of the lotus pure land world and will not die!
The sun rose little by little, and suddenly a man knocked on the gong fiercely: "It's noon!"
As soon as this person's words were spoken, there were soldiers around him. Knock the drum! With the sound of drums, everyone dared not speak, just stretched out their necks and watched!
Ji Taixu took a step forward and stopped playing the drums!
"The order of Lord Zhang!" Ji Taixu said in a loud voice. Ji Taixu said this with the method in the Kaitian Sutra of Taishang Daozu. The sound was like a muffled thunder rolling in everyone's ear, and all the people below were shocked by Ji Taixu's sound.
"The demons of Chahongzhou Lotus Pure Land Religion spread demonic words, deceive the people, and hide ordnance with the intention of plotting rebellion! Now the evidence is conclusive. Lotus Pure Land teaches a kind of evil and evil. Now it is especially in the cult temple to behead, as an example! Those who dare to complain about injustice and dare to cry and make noise will be punished as cult demons - killing without mercy! Cut!" Ji Taixu said harshly!
Before the people below reacted, a row of soldiers rushed behind those Pure Land Guardians, pulled out their waist knives, and cut them down with a knife!
Suddenly, hundreds of heads rushed into the sky, and hundreds of blood spewed out of these people's skulls!
"Papa--" 134 heads fell to the ground, spouting blood on the ground, dyeing the ground red!
"Ah!" Several screams came from the crowd, and immediately a soldier rushed into the crowd and dragged them out!
"You - you dare to kill the guardian gods, the Lotus Buddha and the Pure Land Master will be blamed!" A white-haired old man pointed to Ji Taixu and shouted! Two soldiers immediately dragged the old man out!
"Dare to make noise and complain about the evils of the cult! It must be a cult and a promiscuous party, kill!" Ji Taixu showed no mercy at all. With a wave of his hand, several heads fell down again!
At this time, everyone stopped talking. Some people wanted to scream and covered their mouths!
Ji Taixu's face was cold and said, "These are all thieves and cult demons who want to rebel. They are just demagogue and accumulate wealth under the guise of Pure Land Religion. Those--" Ji Taixu pointed to a pile of armor weapons on the side of the square and said, "Those are the weapons that the Pure Land religion wants to use to rebel. The evidence is as strong as a mountain! In the future, those who dare to worship the Lotus Buddha and the Pure Land Patriarchs at home will be punished according to the cult. All lotus lanterns and cults will be burned from now on, and those who dare to hide them will be killed! Dear villagers--" Ji Taixu said in a harmony, "When the property seized by the cult was young, the government would send it to each family according to the number of households, and now they will go home quickly to burn everything related to the cult!"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, suddenly ran home alone. As soon as someone took the lead, everyone only hated that my father and mother had two fewer legs and ran home one by one!
At the same time, the Lotus Pure Land Temples of all four prefectures, including Jiannan Road, Huguang Road, Huaihe Road and Lingnan Road, were forcibly demolished and burned by the government! All the guardians in the temple were taken to the entrance of the vegetable market, and those fanatical and stubborn believers were also forcibly beheaded! All four roads in the south were shrouded in a bloody storm for a time!
"Your Excellency!" In Hongzhou Assassin's Mansion, Ji Taixu asked Zhang Xuan, "When I went to the Lotus Pure Land Temple that day, I felt that the spiritual power on the statue of Lotus Buddha was magnificent and very powerful. Why did these statues not respond when we destroyed the Lotus Pure Land Temple in four states and counties? If we release spiritual power and there is no master of energy refining, it is enough to protect the safety of the temple and the protection of the law! But why are there no statues in various states and counties? If you protect the temple, won't you be able to show the Buddha's magical power? Then won't those people be more convinced of this Lotus Pure Land religion?
"Ha ha!" Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "You only know one and don't know the other!"
"Oh?" Ji Taixu said, "What's the solution to this?"
"We came to the south to destroy the Lotus Pure Land Religion with the momentum of thunder, which was unexpected by those cult leaders!" Zhang Xuan brushed his beard and said, "In addition, you and my methods are extremely bloody, which shocked these cult demons! In addition, I am an imperial envoy holding the sword and imperial edict. If the Lotus Buddha dares to protect the temple congregation, it is clear that the carriages and horses are against the court. This time we started too fast, and they were not ready to start the rebellion now! Besides, now that the Great Wei and Jin are about to go to war, this can be seen by blind people. Now I am the only one who has been to the south. As long as I have an accident, those burned temples will not be rebuilt! So as long as you get rid of me, the Lotus Pure Land Church can immediately move back to the situation. They can't fight against the army of the imperial court at this time!"
"So that's it!" Ji Taixu nodded: "Your Excellency's magic calculation is too late!"
"It won't take long!" Zhang Xuan said calmly, "The killer of the Lotus Pure Land Temple will arrive!"
At this time, Luo Ming came in and said, "Your Excellency, there is one outside--"
Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "Since it's the arrival of Daxian, please come in quickly!" Ji Taixu looked at Zhang Xuan confusedly, and then looked out!
"Your Excellency, what's the solution?" Ji Taixu asked.
"Although you practice Confucianism, you are not at home yet. Let me show you the demeanor of a real sage!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
Zhang Xuan's words made Ji Taixu even more confused!
Not long, Luo Ming led an old farmer-like man in short brown, stepping on hemp shoes and rolling up his trousers and rough hands under his feet!
"Grassman Han Zhen, see your excellency!" After this person came in, he immediately worshipped Zhang Xuan and Ji Taixu!
"Please get up!" Zhang Xuan said, "Come on! Look at the seat!"
Han Zhen bent down and sat on the chair! Ji Taixu looked at the man carefully and found that there was a Qingyun three feet above his head, showing a straight and upright idea!
Zhang Xuan silently gave up his seat for Han Zhen. Ji Taixu asked, "Sir has profound Confucianism. I don't know who is the teacher?"
"Ha ha!" Han Zhen smiled and said, "I'm just a potter who makes pottery. I don't have profound Confucianism. I just listened to a class under the disciples of Wangmen for a period of time! In fact, until now, I can only write my name!"
Ji Taixu was stunned when he heard this and just muttered, "Sir, you are so talented, I admire you!"
"Ha ha!" Han Zhen said, "I was originally a potter in our place. Originally, I had nothing to do but sell some pottery every day. Later, Xiao Kuang, a disciple of the royal family, gave a lecture at our place. I had to go there to listen for some time every day. Over time, I was also stained with some book business!"
"I heard that my husband's life was hard, but he didn't care. He sold his three thatched houses to others, and he sang 'three thatched houses were given to the new owner, and a piece of haze was an old friend' to dig a cave and live in a cave! After Xiao Kuang left, many students and ordinary people were engaged in husbands. Thousands of people gathered to explain the scriptures of 'to conscience' under the hillside every day. I don't know if what I just said is correct!" Zhang Xuan said.
"Ha ha," Han Zhen laughed and said, "I, a potter, gathered thousands of people, which has brought inconvenience to the government, and I am very ashamed to say it!"
"Mr. Gaocai is a model for scholars in the world! The boy threw himself to the ground!" Ji Tai said humbly!
"I once heard my students say that you are the famous Marquis of Dingbei in Yujing City?" Han Zhen said.
"It's the boy!" Ji Taixu really admired this person and couldn't help but hold the etiquette of the younger generation.
"It's really a heroic teenager!" Han Zhen said, "I have heard that your father died in the battlefield, the body of Ma Ge was shrouded, and buried in Xuanzhou, northern China."
"Yes!" Ji Taixu said.
"Why did your father stain the yellow sand with blood for the sake of the world, but you slaughtered innocent people so cruelly?" Han Zhen said harshly.
"This--" Ji Taixu quickly bent down: "This matter has to be done!"
"What a must!" Han Zhen shot the case and said, "Don't explain it. I also know what your intentions are, but although you want to eliminate the cult, you have also created too many murders. I won't talk about you, but there must be criticism from scholars all over the world! At that time--
"Mr. Han!" Zhang Xuan suddenly interrupted Han Zhen's words: "This matter has to be done. Besides, this is my order. Why do you have to force a descendant? I will be worthy of heaven and earth when I do this, and I have a clear conscience!"
Han Zhen looked at Zhang Xuan for a long time and finally sighed, "That's all. You are officials. Naturally, I am a people who can't control your affairs. There are future generations to discuss this matter! But if there is another slaughter of the people, I will lead a thousand disciples of Lanxi County to stand in front of the people and under the butcher's knife!" Han Zhen drifted away after saying this!
