At the top of Kuaiji City, Wang Ningzhi (Suzaku) is dressed in Taoist robes and holding a wooden sword. He is standing behind the incense burner, muttering something in his mouth, and walking in the direction of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. Several peach wood tokens are inserted in the frame in front of the incense burner.
On top of the grid, a bundle of talisman papers was inserted on the tip of the wooden sword. With Wang Ningzhi's non-stop movements, pieces of talisman papers were inserted, pointing in the direction, burning the paper into ashes, and sprinkled them into the altar in front of him.
In the wine, several sergeants on one side were busy going up and down the tower, carrying a jar of wine and pouring it into more than a dozen large jars in front of the open space below the tower. The aroma of wine overflowed, making people laugh.
The more than 20,000 burly men crowded into this empty space were swallowing their saliva unconsciously.
A strong man in his thirties with a black mole the size of a mung bean on his eyebrow said: "We, the county governor, have summoned the strong men from all our villages who have fled to Shanyin City to come here. Is it just to see what he is doing here?
He is the county governor, how can he do the same thing as those demon thieves?"
Another man who was slightly older, about forty, shook his head and said: "Xie Sanniu, don't say that. Commander Wang is the head of the Langya Wang family. He has a high and powerful position. He came to Kuaiji at this critical time.
They are here to save us, how can we compare with those demon thieves?"
A man in his thirties, with a white face and a slight beard, who looked like a scholar, said: "Yes, Governor Wang was ordered to face the crisis. He would not have taken up this post. At least it is okay not to take up the post for now. Now that the rebel army has left,
There are still two hundred miles to Kuaiji, so we have time to evacuate. However, the Wang family has believed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master for generations. Maybe he wants to say that the monsters and thieves are using the name of the Heavenly Master to cause trouble. This is not the original intention of the Heavenly Master. He wants the Heavenly Master to grant
I have the power to slay demons and demons."
Mr.
We were forced to eat the meat sauce, and if we didn’t eat it, we would be chopped into meat sauce. If the Heavenly Master had eyes, how could he accept these demons as his disciples? I think the Heavenly Master Tao itself is a cult. Back then, I always
If you don’t believe them, look at it now and see if I’m right.”
The scholar frowned: "But if you don't even believe the Governor Wang, then who can you believe?"
Xie Sanniu laughed: "Our family has been working in the Xie family's manor for generations. The Xie family has always treated us well. The rent they charge is lower than other manors. During the holidays, sometimes Mrs. Wang, also known as Sister Xie,
She will also come to deliver some New Year's goods to us poor people with mud legs. If there was not such a lady, if I hadn't heard that she was also in Kuaiji, I would have gone north and wouldn't have come here at all."
Xie Daoyun's voice sounded kindly behind Xie Sanniu: "Brother Sanniu, you have placed so much trust in our Xie family. Follow me. On behalf of the Xie family, Daoyun would like to thank you."
Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see Xie Daoyun dressed in filial piety, with a calm expression and a bit of sadness. He was supported by two middle-aged maids, standing on a turning post, walking all the way, without stopping.
He nodded to the men from the Xie family who were saluting him in the crowd.
Xie Sanniu and others hurriedly wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but they felt a light touch on their hands and were supported by someone. When they looked up, it was Xie Daoyun standing in front of them, holding his elbows with his bare hands to prevent him from kneeling.
, Xie Sanniu's eyes sparkled with tears: "Madam, I never thought, never thought that I, Xie Sanniu, would see you again?"
Xie Daoyun nodded: "Brother Sanniu, I know you. The year before last, I went to your village to worship the cows for the tenants. It's a pity that my cousin, he..."
At this point, Xie Daoyun's voice choked with sobs and he could no longer speak.
Xie Sanniu gritted his teeth and said: "The master is a good person, and the wife is also a good person. The Xie family is not kind to us. They only hate that we can't protect the master. Even, I was even forced to eat the master's flesh. I, I am not a human being."
, I deserve to die!”
As he spoke, he slapped himself hard on the face. This man, who was as thick as an ox, had a very strong hand, and his cheeks became swollen after just two slaps.
Xie Daoyun took Xie Sanniu's hand and said: "Brother Sanniu, don't be like this. You have no choice but to do that. We don't blame you. If you hadn't done this, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to survive, and you wouldn't be able to take a few people with you."
Ten brothers came to join us and tell everyone about the terrible things outside. You are the hero, and you are not wrong!"
Xie Sanniu wiped away the tears on his face and said excitedly: "I ate the master's meat just to save my life and ran back for revenge. Originally we wanted to go north to join Duke Yan, but I heard that Mrs.
We’ve all come here since we came to Kuaiji. Madam, please take us to take revenge, we all listen to you!”
Hundreds of people around him shouted: "Madam, we all listen to you, we all listen to you, take us all to get revenge!"
Xie Daoyun did not answer. She turned her head, and under the gaze of thousands or tens of thousands of eyes, she slowly walked to a high platform in front of the open space. Dozens of large altars were lined up under the platform, like ants.
The sergeant was carrying the talisman ashes burned by Wang Ningzhi on the city wall back and forth, mixed them with wine, and poured them into these jars. Xie Daoyun looked at the crowd in the audience and said: "Everyone, most of you are from my Xie family.
A loyal servant and a righteous man, I risked my life and did not follow the thieves. Instead, I came here to follow our Xie family, follow the court, and follow your majesty. How can I, Xie Daoyun, be so virtuous? I have received such trust from you all. I can’t think of anything here.
I can only salute you all!"
As she spoke, she threw her crutch to the side and knelt down directly, kowtowing to the tens of thousands of people in the audience.
The bankers in the audience quickly knelt down and kowtowed. When Xie Daoyun stood up again, tears were already streaming down her face. Her voice revealed a sense of sorrow and indignation: "The country is in misfortune, monsters and thieves are causing trouble, your relatives, and us."
Like the relatives of the Xie family, many of them have been poisoned. These monster thieves confuse people's hearts and instigate ignorant people to rebel. Some indigenous families in Wu colluded with them and cooperated internally and externally, which is why they have such momentum. Now in the Jin Dynasty
The main force of the army is in the north, and the area around the capital is empty, so the demon thieves can temporarily succeed. However, this time our couple came to Kuaiji to tell everyone that the imperial court will not abandon us and must pay homage to the demon thieves.
The thieves demand repayment of this blood debt!"
The people in the audience burst into thunderous cheers: "Long live, long live, long live!"
