There was a loud crashing sound, and hundreds of monks were escorted to the Xuan Shen Platform.
They were all over fifty, even octogenarians, and the battle in front of them was enough to show that their death was imminent.
But I don't know if it's because they are monks, but in the face of life and death, hundreds of people seem to be very calm. Even if they are wearing shackles and chains, they seem to have nothing to bind them, and they are quite calm and composed.
On the high platform, whether it was Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, Imperial Master Lu Heng, or even Fukuda Ichiro, they all looked calm in the face of the upcoming bloody scene, as if these people below the stage were no different from livestock in their eyes.
Among the people, some people have closed their eyes silently, and few people with good intentions are poking their heads. After all, they all know what is going to happen next, just look at the rows of swordsmen and axe-hands.
Behind Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, Prince Zhao Gou secretly winked at Princess Linyang. The latter understood and quietly stepped back from the high platform, apparently to arrange something.
The beheading was about to take place, and Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo just wanted to give the order, but was interrupted by someone who was none other than Ichiro Fukuda, the lord of Wen Palace.
"Wait a minute, Zhao Sang!" Ichiro Fukuda's rough voice sounded.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo turned around subconsciously, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
He thought for a moment and then asked in a probing tone.
"But Mr. Fukuda has a compassionate heart and wants to spare them?"
Hearing this, Ichiro Fukuda just shook his head with a smile on his face.
He said, "I, the Twelve Gods, will never be merciful to pagans, and I will never spare anyone who deserves to be killed. It's just that the gods have the will to pass down. Even if they are evil pagans, I still hope to let them bathe in the water."
Under the light of God, only in this way can their souls be protected and help them become good people in the next life."
Ichiro Fukuda's behavior at this time was the most typical sanctimonious one. With a red mouth and white teeth, he defined Buddhism and Taoism, which had been developed in the East for thousands of years, as paganism in one sentence.
However, in the ears of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, this sentence was not inappropriate at all, and instead made him smile knowingly.
He probably knew what Ichiro Fukuda meant, but he still asked cooperatively.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Ichiro Fukuda smiled and looked down at the people of the Song Dynasty on the ground, as if he was a god at this time.
He turned his head and glanced at the huge scroll hanging on the city wall, already thinking about his words.
"Just show the portraits of the palace masters in advance, so that these poor pagans can peacefully embark on reincarnation under the guidance of the gods."
After talking for a long time, I actually just wanted to show off the portrait of the priest quickly, because Fukuda Ichiro is also one of the great priests, and of course there is one of him among the twelve huge portraits on the city wall.
According to the original regulations, the portraits would not be unfolded until the Emperor Zhao Shuo of Hui Province read the imperial edict and announced that the Song Dynasty would be called a tributary of the Twelve Divine Palaces.
Now it seems that Ichiro Fukuda can't wait any longer and can't wait to show his majesty as a priest.
Faced with such a small problem, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo would naturally not refuse to agree. After all, the ceremony of worshiping the heaven had been changed beyond recognition at others' request. So what if it was temporarily changed again?
He immediately ordered down and asked the imperial guards on the city to prepare to unfold the portrait.
The news was passed on layer by layer, but within a short time, the imperial army was already in position at the top of the city, and the swordsmen and axemen beside the Xuanshen Platform were also ready.
When Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo gives the order, the portraits on the city wall and the heads of the monks and Taoists will fall down at the same time. At that time, it will be a big scene of two blossoms. The rhythm of the ceremony is still particular.
At this time, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo had given the order, and flag officers stepped forward to play flags.
The huge portrait suddenly fell down, and the sharp blades of the axemen also swung down at the same time.
For a time, nearly ten thousand people surrounding the Xuanshen Platform screamed in surprise at the same time. The sound was like a tsunami sweeping over, and it was also mixed with the screams of many women and the cries of children!
Did the head fall to the ground? No, no one's head was chopped off, and even the execution ground was not the main cause of the commotion.
Even Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo and others were stunned, including Ichiro Fukuda, Prince Zhao Gou and Princess Linyang who came down from the high platform.
I saw that what was unfolded on the city wall was not the portraits of the twelve priests, but scenes one after another.
These pictures all depict dark red scenes, and some depict corpses lying on the ground, starving to death for thousands of miles. Not far from these corpses, there are rows of people wearing the uniforms of the Twelve Gods. It can be seen that these
everyone is laughing
Others depict hundreds of simple tents set up in front of a big city. Many people live like dogs in such slums. On the far top of the city, a group of people from the Twelve Gods are standing in a large queue.
Feast.
The big scenes are like this, but some small scenes are painted in more detail.
There is a painting in a prison where a woman covered in blood is stuffed into a human-shaped mold covered with spikes. The mold has been half closed, and the spikes are piercing into the woman's body, causing pain.
Her face was extremely distorted, and an apostle of the shrine was pushing the lid of the mold, preparing to close the mold completely.
There is also a painting of a huge copper bull furnace. There is a hole in the belly of the bull, and a person is stuffed inside. A blazing fire is burning under the bull. Under the high temperature, the tortured person is in pain and despair.
The expressions depicted are extremely realistic and lifelike, which is shocking!
What's more, the tortured person was tied to a bed, and some divine messengers sawed off his limbs, and then sewed the hands and feet of different animals on, as if they were doing some terrible human experiment.
Faced with the pain of the tortured person, the group of apostles in the scroll have only one expression, and that is a sinister smile!
There are several other doomsday scenes like this, but no one at the scene dared to continue looking at it. The scene in this painting was so cruel that even a man with a strong mind would have nightmares at night after seeing it!
There is no scene depicted in that portrait, only twelve large characters written in black letters on a white background.
"The picture of purgatory on earth under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Divine Palaces!"
