Standing out from the crowd was a leading Tianshi Dao disciple who looked like a junior high school student. He was around thirty-two or thirty-years-old, with a dark face and curly beard. He was of medium height and had a blue scarf on his head. He looked different from ordinary disciples.
This small-school-looking Tianshi Dao disciple looked around and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I am the leader of the Sixth Squadron, Liu Dazhu, the incense owner of the Flying Eagle Altar Tianzhu Incense of the Divine Cult. Have you ever known me?"
His voice was rough and hoarse, and it turned out to be the person who shouted just now. He was hit by two arrows, none of them in vital parts. At this time, the shaft of the arrow had been shaved off, and the place where the arrow hit He was still bleeding, but he acted like a normal person, still holding the sword in his hand and standing where he was, which clearly showed how fierce and tenacious he was.
All the Celestial Master Dao sergeants said in unison: "We have met Master Liu Xiang, and we all listen to you."
Tan Zhi said coldly: "Liu Dazhu, are you ready to surrender to our army when you stand up? I can guarantee your lives."
Liu Dazhu laughed loudly and pointed his sword at Tan Zhi: "I know you, surnamed Tan. When you led the army to fight against our team in Yuzhou, sixty-one of the sixty-three brothers in my team died in your hands. , including my three younger brothers and one nephew, I will never forget your face in my dreams."
Tan Zhi laughed: "It turns out you are an old thief from Sanwu. You fought against me back then. You were lucky. You were able to escape the battle in Yuzhou last time. However, you won't be so lucky this time. You're lucky, if you don't want to see your sixty-one companions now, it's best to surrender now and don't do anything stupid."
Having said this, Tan Zhi paused: "You should know that back then, your team resisted to the end, and almost all of them died in the end. However, some teams surrendered early, and they all survived. Many people All…………"
Liu Dazhu said sternly: "Those cowards and cowards survived, but they were treated as slaves by you. They were either transported to the mines or to the fighting arena on the horse stage. I have been to that place too, and I saw my former ways. Friends, comrades, you treat them like wild beasts, killing each other in that fighting arena, and even become your tools for gambling and betting. They use their last lives to satisfy the gambling desires of you dignitaries and young men. Die like a hunting dog fighting a cock, without any dignity!"
Tan Zhi curled up his lips and said in a deep voice: "The establishment of the horse theater back then was the law of the imperial court. You rebelled against the Three Wus and committed heinous crimes. Even if you died ten times, it would not be enough to atone for your sins. Only then did you have a show." On the horse platform, prisoners with blood debts on their hands were allowed to fight, and those who survived would be rewarded. After accumulating a certain amount, they could redeem themselves and become common people. The court would allocate land and property to them, just like establishing households to equalize the people. Many people have settled in the six counties of Jiangbei. Also, this is only for those military schools. For ordinary soldiers, especially the common people who were threatened by you, we released them directly without embarrassment for them. "
Liu Dazhu laughed loudly and said: "Since you have joined the divine religion, you must have the consciousness to conquer the world and die if you don't win. If you lose, you will go to fight and ascend to immortality to escape from this troubled world. Do you need to pity them? Those who kneel down to you and beg for mercy. Weak men only deserve such an ending, and although all the brothers in my team died in the battle, they preferred death over surrender, retained their dignity, and gained their freedom. This is what we men of the religion should do!"
All the disciples of Tianshi Dao shouted in unison: "Master Liu Xiang said well, Master Liu Xiang said well! Disciples of the divine sect, it is better to die than surrender, rather to die than surrender!"
Tan Zhi's face darkened, and he said: "Liu Dazhu, if you want to die, don't drag everyone with you. We have orders from brother Nu. If you take part in the rebellion this time, we will only punish the first culprits and never ask for threats. You also know that there is no such thing." If you can reach immortality after defeating soldiers, you will be dead after you die. There is no difference between those who killed you. If you can achieve immortality after defeating soldiers, why don't you become immortal now?"
The muscles on Liu Dazhu's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I dare not ascend to immortality?"
Tan Zhi sneered: "I believe you dare, but you have to know that life is precious. Only by surviving can you enjoy everything in life. You have been living in hatred and killing, in death and fear, and now , there is a chance for you to become a human again from such a beast, and after you atone for your crimes, you can have a new life!"
Liu Dazhu laughed: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, Tan Zhi, don't be too proud. I let you win with trickery today, but it doesn't mean you will survive today. Our deputy leader Xu has a hundred thousand soldiers, we are just It’s just a small vanguard at the front, I’ll be in the sky watching how you finish!”
Liu Dazhu turned around and said loudly: "Brothers, when we have reached this point, we should not expect mercy from the enemy. Think about how the soldiers before us died, and think about the consequences of the fellow Taoists who followed us in the army. I We don’t want it. Our lives are our own, but we must live with hope and die with dignity. At least, I have the final say about my life!”
When he said this, he put the sword across his neck, wiped it hard, and a flash of blood suddenly appeared, and his body fell down. The power of this sword was very strong, and it directly threw his head away from his neck, and his body shape When he fell to the ground, his head was rolling on the ground like a watermelon. His determination to die was clearly visible!
After Liu Dazhu committed suicide with his horizontal sword, seventy or eighty Tianshi Dao disciples also raised their weapons, either killing themselves, or stabbing themselves in the chest and abdomen. There were also two people who stabbed each other to death. The scene looked very terrible. It was tragic, and even some younger disciples were crying and wanted to commit suicide, but because they were not determined enough to die, the knife did not kill themselves. They kept wailing and screaming, and they still had to help from their companions to finally kill them. Out of breath.
Only twenty or thirty people were still standing there, their eyes flickering. Obviously, they didn't want to die.
Tan Zhi said in a deep voice: "You people should understand one thing. There is no hope and no dignity in such a death. You have to give up the peaceful life for the ambition of the two thieves Lu Xun and Xu Daofu. Raise an army to rebel and bring chaos to the world. So what if they succeed? They are going to be emperors, leaders, and rule the world. Do you want to disband and return to the fields and continue to be common people? Will you share half of the glory and wealth they enjoy? "
An older Tianshi Dao sergeant said loudly: "In the divine religion, everyone is equal, but there is a priority in enlightenment. Don't even think about deceiving us with your evil words!"
Tan Zhi laughed loudly and said: "Well, everyone is equal, so let me ask you, why are you ordinary soldiers coming to fight and die? Where are your leader, deputy leader, and altar leaders?" (End of this chapter) )
