Heads fell to the ground, and blood rained.
Most of the dozen or so most impulsive believers felt their feet weak and fell to the ground. They couldn't care less about the pain, but were filled with shock!
Dead people!
Really gonna die!
I don't want to die!
Gu Qing raised his foot and kicked over another man who was running closest. Before he could be frightened, he stepped on his chest and shouted again, "Anyone who dares to resist the law will die!"
At this moment, Gu Qing was filled with a chilling murderous aura, as if he was a god or demon that no one dared to look directly at.
The believers who were already ready to move seemed to have had a basin of ice water poured on their heads. The cold was biting and their hearts were filled with souls.
They were frightened, frightened by the blood, death, and Gu Qing's decisive killing.
Gu Qing lamented in his heart, for himself and for the ghost under the knife, he didn't want to kill, but he had to kill, otherwise he couldn't shake the situation.
If he had hesitated just a moment ago, the already loose encirclement would have been broken in one blow, and the remaining believers who were still hesitant would have been immediately driven forward, like a flood bursting through a bank.
Looking at the silent crowd, all the subordinates of the Imperial City Division breathed a sigh of relief and admired the boss's decision. Then many people noticed that the palms of their weapons were slippery.
Seeing that the believers were all frightened, Juezhen and others were not willing to give in and started inciting them hoarsely again.
"Don't be afraid of him. We have dozens of times more people than they do. They can't kill many. Rush! Rush out!"
"If you stay here, you will only be killed by them all. Only by rushing out can you have hope of survival!"
"We have the blessing of Buddha. Even if we are killed, we will be honored in the Paradise of Paradise. Go ahead!"
"What are you afraid of!? Do you think you can escape if you are afraid? If we don't get rid of the evil dragon, he will suck the entire Lin'an City dry!"
Amidst these inspiring shouts, the believers began to waver and seemed to regain their courage.
Gu Qing found that the deterrent effect of paying for blood was gradually fading, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. As long as one more person breaks through the fear of death, the consequences...
At this moment, a thunderous sound came closer from far away, and the ground shook slightly.
It's the cavalry!
Reinforcements are coming!
Gu Qing became energetic and roared, "The imperial army has arrived, no one is allowed to move rashly!"
The Imperial City Sergeant behind him also shouted.
Everyone heard the sound of horse hooves, and the believers did not dare to have any resistance, but Juezhen and others only felt that a disaster was coming.
Juezhen wanted to run, but he was surrounded by more than a thousand people. Only the side of the temple where there were fewer people, "Retreat to the temple!"
Maybe I am still a caged bird when I return to the temple, but I can't care about that much at this time, and I can delay it for a moment.
In order to escape back to the temple, these monks lost their previous politeness to the believers and violently pushed and even punched and kicked them, using knives and sticks.
After they ran into the temple, they closed the door tightly, leaving a group of injured believers outside the door screaming and crying.
Seeing Master Juezhen leading a group of monks and running away at will, all the believers were dumbfounded. Is this the eminent monk? !
Suddenly, their faith began to collapse, and they gradually felt as if they had been deceived.
Not afraid of Juezhen, Gu Qing ran back to the temple and began to ask his men to evacuate the confused believers.
Soon, Yuhou Shihuai, the chief minister in front of the palace, arrived in person with fifty cavalry, and another one hundred and fifty infantry arrived soon after, and then began to attack the temple.
Juezhen and others still tried to resist, but before they could hold on to even half a stick of incense, the temple gate was breached.
"Kneel down and don't kill!"
Shi Huai took the lead and rode into the temple.
Gu Qing had no choice but to wait outside with the people from the Imperial City Division. After all, if you invite people here, you have to give them more opportunities to perform meritorious service. Besides, the Forbidden Army is a regular army and is better at fighting.
There was no suspense. A quarter of an hour later, more than seventy monks in the temple were dead and surrendered.
Shi Huai led Juezhen, who was tied up, out of the temple gate, "I didn't expect that this guy is quite skilled. If you didn't want to survive, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
Only then did Gu Qing realize that something was wrong. Juezhen was actually wearing armor, "Is this?"
"Hehe, it's a good thing you called me here, otherwise you Imperial City Secretary would have suffered a big loss. There are actually more than a dozen pairs of armors and more than a dozen bows and crossbows hidden in a small temple, not to mention other weapons. ."
Shi Huai had a smile on his face. Although it caused casualties to his men, the credit had become real.
Gu Qing's face darkened. The Bao'en Temple was only two or three miles away from the Imperial City, but it actually contained so many prohibited weapons, but he, the Imperial City Department, had never known anything about it before.
As if he guessed what Gu Qing was thinking, Shi Huai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Let your people go in and search. Prince Zhong is still waiting."
At this moment, the officer in charge of evacuating the believers came to us with a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, "Here's a reminder, this is Xie Huo from the Imperial Academy. He said his wife is in the temple."
Xie Huo's face was full of anxiety, but he still maintained the demeanor of a scholar. He clasped his hands to Gu Qing and Shi Huai, "Guess, this general is in the temple. I wonder if I can go in and look for him?"
Gu Qing looked at Shi Huai doubtfully, "Are there any pilgrims inside?"
"There are no other pilgrims, but..." Shi Huai's expression became strange, "Xie Xuezheng's wife, is she here to ask for a son?"
"Exactly, there are more than a dozen wives in there at the same time, so they shouldn't be affected." Xie Huo was uneasy, fearing that these red guys would hurt his wife.
Sympathy appeared on Shi Huai's face, "There are more than a dozen women. If Xie Xuezheng's wife is among them, then..."
"General, what do you mean!? Even if you really want to quell the chaos, you can't affect innocent people!" Xie Huo said angrily.
"What do you mean by forgetting? Can't you see that Juezhen is wearing armor? Haha, you scholars... forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Come with me and go see for yourself." Shi Huai shrugged.
Gu Qing sensed something fishy from Shi Huai's expression, so he arranged for his men to search, and then he also followed him to Huanxi Hall.
Logically speaking, Baoen Temple is a Zen temple and will not worship Huanxi Tian. However, since Juezhen came, he has attracted a lot of incense to the temple. It is appropriate to build a Buddhist hall at his request. of.
What's more, this Buddhist hall is used to pray for children. It is a major income-increasing project for the temple, so it is even more appropriate.
This Huanxi Hall is located in the northwest corner of the temple. It is different from the normal layout of the main hall. It consists of sixteen Zen rooms surrounding a Buddhist hall.
After arriving here, there was a small group of forbidden troops guarding the outside, but it was very quiet inside.
"Go in by yourself. No matter what you see, it's best to stay calm. By the way, I'll teach you that there were soldiers who went in at the beginning, but after only opening one Zen room, they came out immediately." Shi Huai said. Stop at the door.
Xie Huo didn't think much about the meaning of Shi Huai's words and hurried inside, taking out a key as he walked.
When Xie Huo walked away, Gu Qing couldn't help but be curious, "Lao Shi, what is this mysterious thing doing?"
Shi Huai whispered, "Actually, I was the first to go there. When I saw that all the Zen rooms were locked, I didn't think much and just opened one. I didn't expect that there was a woman inside, naked but unconscious. , it’s very similar to sleeping sickness, and the other thing is, there are traces of love, and the rest, you know.”
"Is this so-called begging for a child..." Gu Qing was stunned, and soon understood, "Wait, sleeping sickness!? Is it true that His Highness was right, and that it really happened? I have to search for this poison quickly. Come!"
"Ah...!" Xie Huo's miserable roar came from inside, like a wounded wolf.
