"The so-called defeating the gods is just killing the heart."
Li Xuan stood at the window, turned her head slightly, looked at Liu Ji, and asked calmly: "Liu Lieutenant, how many people do you think would give up their faith in order to survive."
"There won't be anyone." Liu Ji replied coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the food market in the distance.
He clenched his fists and looked gloomy.
Kang Yao was standing there, with the commotion of the crowd below, and beside him the Tianyin cultist who was about to be beheaded. Except for Xu San, who had already begged for mercy, everyone else had their heads lowered, their long hair hanging down, and their faces invisible.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on Liu Ji's sleeves and said calmly: "The dagger on the captain's sleeve cannot do anything to me, even if it is coated with heartbroken grass."
In an instant, Liu Ji clenched his cuffs tightly.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
At this time, Li Xuan was already looking in the direction of Caishikou again.
Although he said nothing and although he was close at hand, Liu Ji did not dare to move at all.
"Wait, there are still some people who are willing to repent..." Kang Yao lowered his head and looked at the Tianyin cultivator who lowered his head beside him.
But at this time, no one looked up, no one answered.
The people below were inexplicably relieved, especially nearly half of the Tianyin cultists.
"I'll ask this a second time, is there anyone willing to repent?" Kang Yao's voice suddenly became cold, and he put his hands behind his face with a cold expression.
At this moment, the executioners behind the death row prisoners took a step forward and stood behind the death row prisoners, holding a big knife in their hands, but their eyes were fixed on the backs of the death row prisoners with murderous intent.
As time gradually passed, the entire food market gradually became quiet.
The people below also lost their voices inexplicably at this time.
The entire Caishikou became more and more silent. At this moment, Kang Yao's voice sounded again: "I will ask you for the third and final time. Is there anyone among you who is willing to repent?"
Kang Yao's voice echoed throughout the Caishikou, and inexplicably, everyone's hearts twitched.
Liu Dao looked coldly at the death row prisoners on the ground, his eyes swept over Kang Yao's body, and finally turned his head behind him, raising his left hand slightly, and with his gestures, a series of instructions were issued.
The family guards behind him quickly dispersed and stood in different positions.
If you observe carefully, you can immediately find that these people have vaguely surrounded the entire high platform. As long as they move, they can immediately kill them on the high platform.
Kang Yao seemed to have not seen all this. His attention was still on the Tianyin Sect gangsters, watching them coldly say: "Since no one is willing, then executioner, start killing!"
Just when Kang Yao issued the beheading order, Liu Dao was already preparing his men to beg for help, and his hand was slowly raised.
The executioner at the back stepped forward and stood beside the death row prisoner. He raised the beheading knife in his hand, but he raised it very slowly.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were on these executioners.
The cold sword light slowly flashed past the eyes of a death row prisoner, as if the cold sword light shot directly into his heart.
Almost instantly, everyone saw the death row prisoner suddenly and inexplicably trembling.
Under everyone's horrified eyes, a trembling voice said: "I...I...I do!"
With one sentence, it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. The death row prisoner immediately fell to the ground, trembling all over.
Liu Dao below clenched his fist tightly in an instant.
He couldn't believe that there were still people who betrayed their faith at the last moment.
As if Pandora's box had been opened, the other death row prisoner next to him also shuddered violently and knocked his head to the ground: "You villain, please forgive me."
At this time, even other death row inmates can hardly
He looked at the begging for mercy of those before him with belief.
However, something surprising happened to everyone. The third death row prisoner next to him lowered his head at the same time: "You villain, I also beg for forgiveness!"
"And the villain."
"And the villain..."
A series of begging sounds sounded throughout the market entrance, one after another, as if they were rehearsed in advance.
Liu Dao below suddenly thought of some inappropriate things before, and a vague idea appeared in his mind.
Then, Kang Yao didn't give him any time at all: "I am too generous to hold you responsible for the delay. You should also know how to do it. Someone will come and help them up."
The executioners behind the death row prisoners retracted their right hands and retracted the beheading knives in mid-air between their right arms, and then used their left hands to help the death row prisoners one by one to the tablets.
Needless to say, the rest of the things happened. In the eyes of everyone in Caishikou, who were extremely horrified, these death row prisoners all peed on the portrait and tablet of Tianyin Goddess.
The Tianyin cultists below had all clenched their fists tightly, and the atmosphere in the entire Caishikou was very depressing, as if just one spark could detonate it immediately.
Many believers looked at their altar master, and the eyes of Liu Dao's guards fell firmly on him.
But at this time, Liu Dao was still hesitating. He had already smelled something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
Kang Yao didn't wait for any reaction from them, walked directly to the center of the high platform, unfolded a yellow list in his hand, and started reading loudly.
"Under the sky, the emperor's favor is so great. Today, there are rebels from the Tianyin Sect who want to conspire to cause chaos and disrupt the country's plans. I am here to leave Wuzhou, the king of Nanchang County, and inspect the school, Zuo Qianniu, Zhonglang General: Dongyang County, From now on, all efforts will be made to track down the Tianyin rebels. No portraits, stone carvings, wood carvings, etc. of the Tianyin Goddess are allowed to be kept in people's homes. Anyone who has any will be sentenced to treason.
I will be beheaded regardless of my head; his father and sons over the age of 16 will be hanged; wives and concubines, sons under the age of 15, as well as mothers, daughters, sons' wives, concubines, grandsons, grandfathers, brothers and sisters will all become official servants; All his servants, servants, property, property, and houses were without official positions; his uncles, uncles, and nephews all lived three thousand miles away, regardless of whether they lived together. "
Kang Yao's voice was unusually cold, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly.
Everyone looked at Kang Yao in disbelief. The anger and hatred in some people's eyes almost wanted to burn Kang Yao to death.
For many years, the goddess Tianyin has been spread in Muzhou, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Kuozhou, Taizhou, Yuezhou, Hangzhou and other places.
Slogans such as "When I am reborn in Tianyin, I only wish for light", "Goddess Tianyin is the home of Tianzuo", "Have mercy on me, the world, and ascend to the Kingdom of God forever" are widely spread in the southeast, which shows how popular the teachings are.
Now, at least more than 30% of these people often worship Tianyin Goddess on weekdays.
There are countless people who pay homage from time to time, and almost all of them have relatives and friends at home who pay homage.
Just now, the government used life force to force those death row prisoners to give up their faith and desecrate the statue of Tianyin Goddess. This has already had an extremely violent impact on everyone's body and mind.
Their anger towards the government and those traitors has already reached its peak.
Now as long as someone takes the lead, they will immediately rush to the high platform and tear Kang Yao and others into pieces.
Just at the moment when his anger was about to be ignited, Kang Yao suddenly spoke: "Today's execution has been completed, and everyone has returned to his home. But those who came to watch the execution today, when they leave, only the Tianyin Saint who is at the entrance of the alley If you spit on the statue, no one will hold you accountable for treason from now on, but if you don't, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave today."
Hearing Kang Yao's words, everyone subconsciously looked towards the alleys on both sides, and suddenly saw that several policemen in armor had pasted the portrait of Tianyin Goddess on the alley.
Realizing that everyone was looking at them, the detectives in armor sneered disdainfully, and then spat directly on the portrait of the Tianyin Goddess. Z.br>
Seeing the dirty saliva flowing down, the anger in some people's hearts was completely ignited in an instant: "Kill these dogs..."
With a "swish" sound, a long arrow shot straight down from mid-air, and then penetrated hard into the throat of the person who opened the mouth, and his words were completely blocked.
Before everyone in Caishikou could react, at this time, more long arrows shot down from the air, and in a blink of an eye they had been nailed to the foreheads of many tall and strong men present. In an instant, twenty or thirty people The man's blood spurted out, and then he slowly fell to the ground without making any sound.
Seeing the blood slowly flowing from their feet, the ordinary people who were originally angry trembled all over their bodies, as if their spines had been broken. They lowered their heads and stared at the blood below.
On the high platform, a dozen archers kept firing their bows and drawing arrows. At the same time, they ran out from both sides of the high platform. Their hands were like thunderbolts, and they kept shooting out. When they stood still, there were already people at the market entrance. Dozens of people fell to the ground completely, with blood flowing out, and there was no sound anymore.
Liu Dao lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and did not dare to move.
He had a feeling that at this moment, countless archers were staring at him eagerly.
As long as he makes a slight move, countless long arrows will pierce it directly.
Those who are now lying on the ground are either the family guards he brought in, or the altar masters from various monasteries in the city. Now they have all fallen on the ground.
Even if there are one or two exceptions, they are all the most loyal believers in the religion.
These people are now dead, Liu Dao now completely understands.
Today this is a killing spree for these people, using the rebellion of the death row prisoners on the high platform to identify the loyal Tianyin believers among them, and then kill them in one fell swoop.
Perhaps because he had already guessed something before, Liu Dao's reaction was not intense, so he was not targeted... right?
At this moment, Kang Yao's voice sounded again: "Now, everyone, line up and go home from the alley. Do you all know what to do?"
Hearing Kang Yao's words, Liu Dao's whole body fell into a cold state.
