Chapter 207 Zoroastrian holy law, referendum on good and evil (1)
The sound of drums is all around, thrilling! The strings are noisy and murderous!
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?! You have the guts to show up and fight!" Huben Guards Colonel Chang Jian was disturbed by the mixed music and couldn't help shouting.
What responded to him was a clear and high-pitched flute sound! Just listening to the music, you can tell that it is the "Breaking Formation Music" that everyone in the Sheng Dynasty is familiar with.
However, as soon as the sound of the flute entered his ears, he was instantly covered in heart-wrenching pain, and the acupuncture points in his ears suddenly oozed with bright red blood. Chang Jian screamed, his body suddenly became unstable, and he fell off his horse.
Everyone on the shore of the canal felt a pain in their heads, their consciousness seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and they couldn't help but feel dizzy. Those in better conditions put their hands on their foreheads, feeling bored and nauseous; those in worse conditions fainted directly to the ground, carrying soldiers with them.
Blades were thrown aside...
Within five or six seconds, on the bank of the canal, no matter the tiger guards or the Jianghu rangers, they all threw away their swords and staggered around. There was no one who could stand proudly.
While everyone was in a state of confusion, two waves of barbarians dressed in crimson Uighur clothes and with their faces covered in black scarves surrounded them from both sides of the canal bank. At a cursory glance, there were always two to three hundred people. Looking from the air, they seemed to be red.
The tide is rising!
The ears of these barbarians in red were filled with cork, and they were obviously not affected by the music just now.
After the barbarians in red swarmed into the Hu Ben Guards, they first stepped on the spears on the ground, took off their sabers, and hung them on their waists. Then they snatched their long bows and quivers, carried them behind their backs, and then put the spears on their backs.
Picking it up, taking it apart, and tearing off the robes from the bodies of the Jianghu Rangers, they tied up the Tiger Guards who had just shown off their power, as well as the Jianghu Rangers who were still alive, and piled them together to form a squirming "human mound."
”.
Even Huben Guards Colonel Chang Jian, Zhu Duiyou and others, who had already recovered, were tied up tightly and dumped together with Lin Jieyuan, Xiong Baisha and other "Eight Heroes of Weizhou".
At this moment, everyone was waking up from a dream, their ears were still buzzing, their big eyes were staring at their small eyes, and they were all extremely embarrassed.
Zhu Duiyou looked at Chang Jian, who was bleeding from both ears, and said bitterly: "Old Chang! It seems that our Tiger Guards' Five Tiger Captains' have made a trick and revealed today's actions in advance. If you call me Zhu, someone
You know who it is, hum! I don’t need Hong Taizhu to give orders, I will kill this person with my own hands!"
Chang Jian reluctantly raised his body and said weakly: "Lao Zhu, we had a bad start today. These monsters used magic spells to catch them all in one fell swoop. Although we are captured, we should not make random suspicions and mess up our own positions..."
Lin Jieyuan on the side showed a teasing look: "Captain Zhu, just now you were a superior military master, but now we are prisoners of the same fate. Things in the world are really unpredictable! Haha!"
Zhu Duiyou said angrily: "You surnamed Lin, don't be so arrogant! How could you, the palace envoy, Hong Taizhu, and the others in Weibo Town not know about your ambitions? I really hope these monsters will kill you all first, and save the court from having to worry about it anymore."
It takes a lot of effort to appease.”
"What the hell... Bah! You are such a bastard! I heard from Boss Lin that the day before yesterday, you extorted money, and it hit us, the Eight Heroes of Weizhou! If I had been there at that time, I would have cut you off first.
Dog head..." Xiong Baisha was so angry that he couldn't calm down and started scolding Zhu Duiyou directly.
"Shut up! How long have you been talking? If you can think of a way to escape, it won't be too late to fight to the death!" Xiong Qiantu, the leader of the "Yanxia Alliance" shouted coldly and interrupted.
The two quarreled.
"Brother! It was obviously the dog-headed captain who lured these monsters here, causing us to miss and be captured." Xiong Baisha said "brother" so smoothly that the others were stunned.
Everyone first looked at Xiong Baisha and then at Xiong Qiantu, and then they suddenly realized that they were actually brothers from the same mother! No wonder Xiong Qiantu, the leader of the "Yan Xia Alliance", took decisive action. It turned out that they wanted to form an alliance with each other.
Everyone, protect your brother carefully, but as for Lin Jieyuan and others, they just do it casually.
Lin Jieyuan had known about their relationship for a long time. It was just that the brothers Xiong Qiantu and Xiong Baisha had been lurking in the Tongyuan Canal for many days, always pretending to be strangers and refusing to recognize each other, so it was hard for him to say anything to expose them.
At this moment, Xiong Baisha was speechless for a moment, and everyone guessed it, so they followed suit and said: "Brother Qiantu, the Yanxia Alliance, took action for justice. I, the Eight Heroes of Weizhou, have recorded this favor! If I can get it from you today,
If you escape here, you will be richly rewarded in the future!"
When Xiong Qiantu saw Lin Jieyuan, the boss of the rumored "Eight Heroes of Weizhou", being so generous, he also began to want to make friends. They immediately went back and forth and started chatting enthusiastically.
However, after Yang Zhaoxi was in a trance, he saw many barbarians with their faces covered in black scarves and wearing crimson Uighur clothes. They quickly tied up everyone on the scene and piled them into a "human mound". Only he was left, dumbfounded.
Standing among a group of Tiger Guards and Jianghu Rangers who were tied up like "hairy crabs", he looked like a bewildered water bird.
Everything in front of him suddenly became unreal. The busy men in red and the sleepy rangers and Tiger Guards around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until he saw Zhuo Songtao and Huang Shuo who were also tied up with ropes and robes that Yang Chaoxi suddenly woke up:
After the strange flute sound was played just now, everyone quickly became confused. This happened only ten breaths ago, but at this moment, it actually feels like a lifetime ago!
Looking closely, these red-clothed barbarians have high noses and deep eyes. They say nothing, but their movements are surprisingly fast and consistent. It is obvious that they have practiced for a long time. However, they have none of the gangster spirit of the rangers, the murderous spirit and wantonness of the Tiger Guards.
The gangsters seemed to be swarming in and binding everyone, just to stop the increasingly fierce fighting. There was more restraint and vigilance in the deep eyes...
Yang Chaoxi was so blessed that he immediately guessed the origin of these barbarians in red: Who else could rival such a secretive and uniform barbarian gang except Zoroastrianism?!
As if in response to his speculation, a young Hu man suddenly came closer, made a flame with his hands and said: "Li Shaochen, the chief altar clother of Zoroastrianism in Luoyang, is ordered by the holy aunt to help Yang Shaoxia do good and eliminate evil!"
Yang Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously made a flame with his hands, and responded with the "Holy Fire Ceremony": "Don't do any evil, and do all the good deeds. God always bless you, the holy fire is blazing! Brother Li, I just joined the religion not long ago, and my aunt's surname is...
Who is she named after?
Li Shaochen smiled and said: "This is a simple matter! When you see the Holy Aunt later, everything will be self-explanatory. However, how are these rabble to be dealt with? Please give me some advice from Yang Shaoxia."
When Yang Chaoxi heard this, he was a little at a loss. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Most of the people tied up on the bank of the canal are wanderers who came to hunt for treasures. As for the Tiger Guards, they are private soldiers under Wang Jin of Taiwei Palace."
. Even if there are people who are murderous and commit crimes, it is difficult for them to distinguish between good and evil. How can they kill and rob people just because of my words? "
Li Shaochen saw that Yang Chaoxi was so kind-hearted and indecisive. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but his face remained respectful: "The holy aunt has already told me that if Yang Shaoxia is inconvenient to make a decision, he will make a public decision according to my Zoroastrian law!"
Yang Chaoxi was greatly confused: "What kind of Zoroastrian sacred law is it?"
Li Shaochen smiled unexpectedly: "Good and evil will be rewarded, and justice lies in the human heart. Just take care of it, Yang Shaoxia!"
The two exchanged a few words without lowering their voices. The nearby Jianghu Rangers, who had better hearing, had already heard them completely.
From the moment Li Shaochen saluted Yang Chaoxi, interested people had already turned their attention here. When Li Shaochen said that he would use the "Sacred Law of Zoroastrianism" to decide everyone, the bank of the canal was quiet at first, and then it quickly became noisy, with some people having a raging temper.
They even yelled at each other.
However, as soon as the curses started, they were replaced by several screams of pain. They saw the red-clothed barbarians interspersed among the "human mounds", picking up the spear handles or scabbards in their hands, and smashing them on the mouths of the madmen who were spitting out sweet fragrance.
Blood and teeth splashed down, and even the sound of pain became chaotic and unclear.
Li Shaochen said loudly: "Ahura, the omniscient, omnipotent, eternal and immortal creator god, creates the universe, heaven and earth, dominates light and darkness, spreads kindness and justice, and determines the cause and effect of good and evil... But there are followers of the god Ahura in the world.
There are also accomplices of the evil god Angra.
Therefore, the first teaching of Zoroastrianism is to eliminate evil and spread good! Brothers in the religion, please help me practice the sacred law of Zoroastrianism, exposing the evil people to the scorching light, so that they can no longer hide.
, reap the consequences!"
Immediately, the densely packed red-clothed barbarians on the bank of the canal all raised their hands to make flames, their faces solemn and their voices like thunder:
All the spirits in the three realms serve me as the Lord God. They will eradicate evil and spread good, and bring peace to the royal land. The holy fire is blazing, and all evil will be wiped out. Liberate all our people and free them from all suffering!
After the Zoroastrian believers finished singing, two believers dragged out a person from the "human mound" of Huben Guard, but he was a shrunken man named Xin Laosan.
Xin Laosan's eyes were dull, his body was as thin as a sieve of chaff, and his legs were curled up off the ground. He was carried by the disciples to Yang Zhaoxi and Li Shaochen. He was trembling all over, obviously frightened to the extreme.
Li Shaochen's eyes were like lightning, and he stared into Xin Laosan's eyes and said: "What evil things have you done in your life? Tell me one by one. If there is one thing missing, I will cut off a finger. If there are not enough fingers, there are still toes..."
Xin Laosan trembled and said without any bones: "I said it, I said it all! I can remember things since I was three years old. The first evil thing I did was to steal the neighbor's chicken... The tenth evil thing,
Ever since he was eight years old, every summer evening, he would sneak to the stream at the head of the village to watch women bathing..." Xin Laosan rambled on, counting his family treasures, and talked about it for a full cup of tea before he murmured, "No more...
…”
At this time, Li Shaochen had turned his attention to Hu Benwei's "Renqiu": "Is there any omission in what Xin Laosan said? If there are any whistle-blowers, they will be spared death when they are interrogated later, as long as they are not treacherous or evil.
.”
As soon as these words came out, someone in the "people's hill" suddenly struggled to stand up and said loudly: "Xin Laosan, he only picks up trivial things to talk about! Last time we had a drink, he told me that he was the most proud of his life.
What he did was to first assassinate his eldest brother, then force his eldest sister-in-law to rape him, and then make her eldest sister-in-law give birth to a pair of children for him..."
