More than half an hour ago, Wansong Ridge, in front of Baoen Temple.
Master Juezhen raised his arms and shouted, "All living beings! Follow me to slay the demons!"
He really can't step on the colorful auspicious clouds, and he can't call for wind and rain, but he is still very good at deceiving people.
More than a thousand believers seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood, with a strong sense of mission coming from the bottom of their hearts, "Kill the devil! Kill the devil! Kill the devil!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Master Juezhen stopped delaying and jumped directly from the lotus platform, landing steadily as if he had stepped down a step.
The lotus platform is about one foot high, which is about the height of two adults. Generally, brave people would dare to jump, but they are definitely not as comfortable and capable as Master Juezhen.
The so-called magic stick is one who is very good at showing off surprising moves from time to time, showing oneself to be extraordinary and strengthening others' admiration and belief in him.
Master Juezhen shouted the Buddha's name and was about to greet the believers to set off, when a strange rhythm of bells came.
Then, just beside the woods not far from them, three drug-haired puppets roared into the sky and exploded.
Master Juezhen couldn't help but be startled by the sudden abnormality. The believers also looked at the sky with some doubts. It was out of season and it was broad daylight, so what kind of fireworks were being set off?
Before they could figure it out, groups of sergeants in dark clothes and black boots began to rush out of the surrounding woods and surrounded the temple door.
"The Imperial City Department is handling the case! Everyone is standing there with hands tied. Anyone who acts rashly will be punished as a criminal!"
"Catch the spies! Anyone who obstructs and disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing the officers and soldiers from all directions coming toward them with great momentum, the believers naturally panicked and subconsciously gathered in, wrapping Master Juezhen and a dozen monks in the center.
Juezhen, who had already realized that something was wrong, couldn't run away even if he wanted to. He suddenly regretted that he had gathered so many people, it was like he was trapped in a cocoon.
Because there were so many believers, the Imperial City Division's sergeants did not rush into the crowd rashly, but stopped and kept a distance, forming a loose encirclement.
There is no way, there are only more than a hundred people, facing a crowd of more than a thousand, there is no way to be strict.
The bewildered believers looked at the sharp swords and crossbows in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, they all believed that the case that the Imperial City Division was going to handle had nothing to do with them, and they felt a little more at ease.
Gu Qing, who had already put on half of his bronze mask, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the situation was under control. He passed over his sergeants and walked out, "I would like to remind Gu Qing, the Imperial City Secretary, please be patient and calm!"
The believers were surprised and confused, and some started to get into trouble.
"It's a half-faced Rakshasa! Why is he here?"
"The Imperial City Division has always handled major and important cases, and they have nothing to do with us ordinary people."
"It's hard to say. In the past, the Imperial City Division has not framed innocent people and acted wantonly."
"Isn't that in the past? Although this half-faced Rakshasa has a reputation for evil, I have never heard of him doing anything illegal."
"Don't panic, don't panic, let's stay safe. The Imperial City Division has no reason to deal with us. Just wait until they finish the case."
Gu Qing was very patient and waited for the crowd to calm down a little before he said again, "Today we are here to capture the spies from the North. Please stay calm. Those who are innocent can be safe as long as they obey the orders. If you dare to disrupt the law enforcement, you will be fine." He will be regarded as an accomplice of spies. I hope everyone will behave themselves and don't get into trouble!"
The so-called arrest of spies from the Northern Kingdom was purely an excuse, but when Master Juezhen heard it, it was like thunder, and he immediately became anxious.
"All living beings, he is deceiving us. Where did the spies from the Pure Land of Buddhism come from? This must be the trick of the evil dragon. They are all hawks and dogs loyal to the king. They must be here to stop us from slaying the devil. We must not let them succeed. The evil dragon If we don’t get rid of it, your victimized family members will not be able to be saved, and disaster will soon befall you!”
When Juezhen shouted, the dozen or so monks also started making noises.
"They are lying. You don't need so many soldiers to catch spies. You can't trust them. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in the Imperial City Prison!"
"We must listen to the master and not let the evil dragon succeed. We must follow the master to slay the devil!"
"Yes! We want to kill the demons and restore peace to the world. They only have so many people. If they can't stop us, let's rush out!"
Behind them, thirty or forty strong monks poured out of the temple gate at this time, holding a variety of weapons in their hands, including sticks, knives, simple knives, shovels, etc.
They pushed through the crowd and came to Master Juezhen, "Master, there are also officers and soldiers at the north gate. We have to find a way quickly!"
Juezhen was completely panicked. He must not be caught by the officers and soldiers, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "All living beings, follow the poor monks and kill them! Kill the demons and defend the way! Don't be afraid. With the protection of the Buddha, there is no need to fear the demons, eagles and dogs!"
These believers didn't have any sense of crisis at first, but after being incited like this, and having been deeply bewitched by Jue Zhen before, they became extremely superstitious about him, and gradually their eyes turned red and their heads became dizzy.
First, a small group of people shouted, "Follow the master to slay the demons!"
Then everyone was infected in an instant, "Kill the devil! Kill the devil!"
Each one of them became excited and their faces became ferocious.
Seeing the right opportunity, Juezhen shouted again, "Capture the thief first, capture the king, and rush the half-faced Rakshasa!"
The monks next to him imitated him and shouted together, "I rushed half of the Rakshasa!"
Seeing that the crowd was about to explode, Gu Qing drew a knife in his hand and shouted wildly, "Those who are stubborn will be killed without mercy!"
But his warning was obviously ineffective. A dozen red-eyed believers began to leave the crowd in twos and threes and rush toward him.
Gu Qing, who had already had murderous intentions, looked at these believers who were good people. His heart trembled, but he could not think about it any more. He held the knife in his hand tightly, closed his eyes, and rushed towards the most powerful person. A fierce person, swinging out hard.
Gu Qing is a scholar. After entering the Imperial City Division, he has killed many people with his own hands, but he did so with a clear conscience. But with this sword, he even violated the taboo on the battlefield and closed his eyes.
"ah!"
In the shouts, there was anger, helplessness, and deep self-blame.
The sword was shining brightly, cutting out half of the bright moon.
A human head flew into the air, and the headless body was still running, spurting blood!
Gu Qing dodged the impact of the human body, but did not escape the baptism of the blood fountain. He was doused with hot and fishy blood.
"Those who dare to resist the law will die!"
Gu Qing, who was covered in blood, was like a demon from hell, especially the bronze mask that looked like a Rakshasa, which was soaked in blood, and looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
