Three days later, outside Nanhai City.
The air was filled with the smell of burning and rotting, which made people sick. Tens of thousands of shirtless Dong natives and Han people could no longer tell the difference in their clothes and hats. Even the skin color became indistinguishable because it was stained with too much of this burnt black powder.
They were digging dozens or hundreds of huge pits, and threw the carloads of corpses around them that had become charred and died in the fire into these huge pits, and all the corpses had no heads. Level, in an open space outside the city, there are three huge terrifying pyramids piled up, each made of tens of thousands of blackened skulls. Led by Lu Xun, dozens of disciples of the Tianshi Sect, He was holding a wooden sword and shaking a copper bell, surrounding the huge pile of skulls, performing rituals to transcend the dead.
Wu Yinzhi, Wang Dan, and more than twenty civil and military officials from Guangzhou City were escorted aside. Wu Yinzhi had tears in his eyes as he looked at a piece of flesh and blood that was impaled on a wooden stake in front of these three terrifying people. The blurred head, the corners of his mouth kept twitching: "Kuang Zhi, Kuang Zhi!"
Lu Xun finished reciting the last spell and stood aside. Lu Lanxiang directed hundreds of female soldiers to throw sulfur, saltpeter and other objects into the pile of heads. Xu Daofu and dozens of his men behind him threw torches As soon as he went up, flames soared into the sky, and the three huge temples turned into a sea of fire, while the tens of thousands of Tianshi Dao disciples present all burst into crazy cheers and shouts.
Wu Yinzhi was filled with grief and anger, and shouted sternly: "Evil ghosts and monsters, you will be punished!"
Lu Xun smiled slightly and turned to face Wu Yinzhi: "Prince Wu, have you made a mistake? Today I am helping the Heavenly Master to transcend the souls of the dead. If the resentful souls persist, they will turn into evil spirits. Monsters continue to harm the living."
Wu Yinzhi cursed: "Aren't these dead people killed by you inhuman beasts? Have mercy on the 30,000 living beings in Nanhai City, 30,000 living beings, let me give you a fire, this ancient city that has been built for hundreds of years , these 30,000 souls have become like this. If you do such evil things, won't your conscience be disturbed, and won't you be afraid of thunder from the sky?"
Xu Daofu sneered and said: "It's only 30,000 people. When the Taoists rebelled in Wu, they killed more than 300,000 monsters, and they didn't even fart. Old man Wu, I'm afraid you haven't figured it out yet." Well, all those who are enemies of the divine religion are monsters in the world and should all deserve to die. If it weren’t for the kindness of our senior brother, he would have to save the souls of you dead ghosts. According to my words, at least the Jingguan with these dead heads would be I want to stay here for ten years and let all the Lingnan barbarians see what the consequences will be if they are enemies of the divine religion!"
Wu Yinzhi was so furious that his whole body was trembling violently. He struggled to raise his hand, pointed at Xu Daofu and cursed, but he couldn't catch a breath and fainted immediately.
Xu Daofu laughed loudly: "You useless old man, he fainted after just two words. Second brother, I don't think there is any use in keeping this old man. There are not many Han people in Lingnan, most of them are barbarians. Maybe Chop off the old man’s head and let the barbarians from all over the world see that we are the new overlords of Lingnan. The effect will be better. Yesterday’s fire attack was clearly visible to all the nearby tribes. They thought it was a god. Coming down to earth."
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "To deal with these barbarians, you have to win their hearts. Just like when Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, pacified Nanzhong, he captured Meng Huo seven times and seven times, in order to calm the hearts of these barbarians and make them work for us. Used. Throughout the dynasties, it has not been too difficult to pacify Lingnan militarily, but if you want to stay here for a long time, epidemics are the biggest problem. The Lingnan barbarians may not be able to fight, but they will know what kind of herbs to prepare to restrain these diseases. This is what the cult of God urgently needs now. Otherwise, in ten days and a half, if our church members begin to get sick and die on a large scale, we will be in big trouble. Last time we were in Yizhou, we only stayed for three In just a few months, more than a thousand people died of the disease. If those creatures had not been domesticated by us and provided methods to prevent heatstroke, we would still be floating on the sea now."
Lu Lanxiang smiled and said, "Brother is still looking far ahead. However, it is the third brother's great contribution to successfully breaking the city this time. What should we do next?"
Lu Xun looked at Wang Dan, who was kneeling aside and was silent, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the famous man beside Sima Yuanxian in the past, Wang Dan and Wang Changshi? You didn't expect that you would meet us again in this place, right? .”
Wang Dan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes: "Demon thief, the old hatred and new hatred between us have fallen into your hands. I have nothing to say. Just kill me."
Lu Xun smiled and waved his hand: "It's a pity to kill you when I meet an old friend in a foreign country. Let's do this. Wang Changshi, you are good at writing. Write a list for us and send it to Liu Yu, who is now in Jiankang. As long as you write well, then not only will I not kill you, but I will also recommend you as my long history."
Wang Dan was a little surprised and opened his eyes: "Are you kidding me? Lu Xun, you are a demon thief. You are a sworn enemy of the imperial court and Liu Yu who is now in power. How could he accept your offer?" ?”
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Liu Yu doesn't have such an undying hatred against us, otherwise he wouldn't have just driven us into the sea back then. Now the battle between Jin and Chu, coupled with the previous wars, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has long been devastated. How can it stand up to a new war if it is dilapidated? Besides, the divine army is powerful and its soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles. They conquered Guangzhou in one battle, which is far beyond what Huan Xuan's rabble can compare with. Everyone is on their own side and living in peace. Isn’t it much better than having another heart-wrenching fight and destroying all living beings?”
Wang Dan sneered and said: "As soon as you came here, you brought trouble to the thirty thousand soldiers and civilians in the city. Most of them are unarmed people. Don't you feel guilty about saying this?"
Lu Xun shook his head: "The purpose of destroying the land is to prevent more people from suffering from the flames of war. Otherwise, if we cannot establish our authority here and go to various places to annihilate the slang tribes, we will only kill more people. Wang Dan, When you were under Sima Yuanxian, you talked all the time about doing big things and becoming prime minister. If you die like this, your big things will have to be left to your next life."
Wang Dan gritted his teeth: "How do you want me to write it?"
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Let's just say that Lu Xun, the governor of Guangzhou and the general of Zhennan, sent Liu Yu and Liu Gong, the general of the Zhenjun army, to say goodbye to Yongjia. It has been many years. The Duke chased Huanxuan, and his younger brother also went to the South China Sea to personally experience the Southern Wilderness. , Now we have regained Guangzhou, captured the pseudo-Chu rebels, and the pseudo-Guangzhou governor Wu Yinzhi, etc., and will present the prisoners to Jiankang on the same day. In the land of Lingnan, I am willing to lead the disciples of the sect to guard it. It will be the Pingfan in the southern part of the Jin Dynasty. I will offer a tax every year. , please accept it with your smile."
Wang Dan sighed and said in a deep voice to Lu Lanxiang: "Bring me a pen!"
Lu Xun laughed: "Now, you are the commander-in-chief of Zhennan General. Congratulations, Wang-Changshi."
