The soldier's finger was on the trigger, but he still didn't press it. In the past ten years, the status of Ziyun Temple and Wanshou Temple in the capital was extremely transcendent. He never thought that one day he would kill people in Ziyun Temple.
Seeing that the gunfire had not started yet, Hong Zhou shouted with a ferocious face: "Didn't you hear what I said? Kill!"
The soldier was so drunk that he trembled all over and almost dropped his gun to the ground. Before he could hold it firmly, Agui snatched the gun from his hand and aimed it coldly at the Taoist. The latter could not bear the fear in his heart.
, screamed in surprise, turned around and ran away.
"Bang!" With a deafening gunshot, the Taoist stopped strangely and then fell to the ground. Dark red blood slowly flowed out from the blood hole behind his back and formed a small circle on the ground.
Pool of blood.
Everyone stared at the motionless body lying on the ground. Just a moment ago, this man was talking to them. In the blink of an eye, he became a lifeless corpse. It was... hard to accept!
Before they could react, Hong Zhou already said: "Light the incense!"
Seeing the soldiers lighting up the incense again, everyone shuddered involuntarily. This time, no one thought that Hong Zhou was joking. He was really ready to kill in Ziyun Temple! And they... didn't even know
What caused the disaster?
"I'll fight with you!" Seeing his disciple being killed, Guangchengzi couldn't bear it with his fiery temper. He immediately rushed over. What greeted him was a row of black gun muzzles. As long as Hong Zhou shot
With the order, Guangchengzi can be shot into a hornet's nest immediately!
The Taoist next to him quickly grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, don't be impulsive. Let's take a long-term view!"
Guangchengzi shouted: "He killed someone in front of us, how can he plan for the long term!"
Hong Zhou looked dull and said: "Taoist Master Guangchengzi has time to fight with me, so it is better to persuade Master Yun Zhongzi and let him stop being stubborn. Ziyun Temple has endured many storms before it can be passed down to this day. This is it."
It’s a pity to destroy it.”
Facing the gazes of everyone, Yun Zhongzi gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. Don't kill innocent people!"
Hong Zhou shook his head and said in a cold voice: "Zhenren Taoism is profound, how can I be willing to kill you? There is still time, Zhenren will think about it slowly, but next time, I will kill not one, but two!"
The Taoist who grabbed Guangchengzi urged him: "Your Majesty, all you killed were living human lives. How can you bear it? If there is something wrong, you can discuss it slowly and find a solution. Why do you have to be so ruthless?"
"If there was any other way, why would I be like this..." Hong Zhou said this very softly, and no one heard it except Agui next to him.
Hong Zhou suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart, stared at them and said: "You don't need to say any more, Yun Zhongzi, you either cast the spell according to my king's words, or you watch the Taoism disappear in your hands, and no one is left!"
"
Yun Zhongzi looked desperately at the sky that was gradually being swallowed by darkness. It was him, he was the one who caused everything before him. If he had not told Hongli the secret method at the beginning, the latter would not have implemented this method crazily. Ziyun Temple and that
Nearly a hundred innocent children will not be destroyed. Everything is his fault!
Now, there is only one way to stop all this, and that is...
A flash of determination flashed across Yun Zhongzi's eyes, and he rushed towards A Gui. By the time the latter reacted, Yun Zhongzi had already grasped the handle of the knife hanging at his waist.
It was too late for Agui to snatch it away, so he could only watch the blade flashing a cold and bright light under the last rays of the setting sun.
Seeing Yun Zhongzi pointing the blade at his own neck, Guangchengzi and others could not understand what he meant. They were horrified and said: "Master!" "Master, disciple!"
Yun Zhongzi closed his eyes and sighed, and stabbed his neck hard. Since it was his fault, he should make up for it. As soon as he died, the secret method would completely disappear from the world, and Hongli would not need to do it again.
Kill these people.
Halfway through the swing, the steel knife couldn't make any further progress. Yun Zhongzi opened his eyes in shock, only to see Hong Zhou holding the steel knife hard, and red blood slowly flowed from his palm, winding on the blade, which was shocking.
Facing Yun Zhongzi's surprised gaze, Hong Zhou said in a cold and authentic voice: "I said that you cannot die, you have to watch the Ziyun Temple's Taoism disappear with your own eyes!" After that, he said: "Agui, you
Lead people to protect the real person, if he hurts a hair, I will only ask you."
"I obey my order!" Agui was also frightened for a while. If Hong Zhou had not stopped Yun Zhongzi in time, Hongli would definitely not let him go after he found out about it. After taking the steel knife from Yun Zhongzi's hand, he
He and another soldier kept a close eye on Yun Zhongzi, preventing him from making any unusual movements.
Yun Zhongzi gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you really destroy the Ziyun Temple Taoist lineage, I will never cast a spell. Just tell him to give up this idea!"
Hong Zhou ignored his words. After the soldier bandaged his palm, he swept the incense in the furnace and said indifferently: "There is only half a stick of incense left."
Hearing these words made everyone's hearts tremble, including Wei Xiuyan who was hiding in the dark. She had just watched Hong Zhou order the killings with her own eyes. What if that Yun Zhongzi really refused to listen to him and made him go on a killing spree?
No... no, she has to leave here immediately.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiuyan endured her beating heart and quietly moved out against the wall, not daring to go too far so as not to disturb Hong Zhou and others not far away. After she was far away from them, she quickened her pace and came all the way to the back door.
, here leads directly to the back mountain,
However, there are usually people guarding her. Today, I think they were all led to the front, so Wei Xiuyan took advantage of the opportunity and ran down the mountain in a hurry. She fell several times on the way, but she did not dare to stop for a moment, lest she be killed.
Hong Zhou found out and caught up with him.
After going all the way down the mountain, she originally wanted to go to the Wei Mansion, but she was afraid of being discovered. After some hesitation, she went to Yong Rong's mansion. When the latter saw Wei Xiuyan standing outside the mansion, she was surprised and happy, regardless of the public.
Next, he quickly stepped forward and took Wei Xiuyan's hand, and said happily: "Xiuyan, it's really you, how come you are here? Could it be that Emperor Ama promised you to return to secular life?"
Wei Xiuyan said with an ugly face: "No, something happened to Ziyun Temple."
It was only then that Yong Rong realized that Wei Xiuyan's expression was not right, and the hands he held were cold and scary. He glanced around and knew that this was not the place to talk, so he said, "Let's talk after we enter the house."
After arriving all the way to the side hall and ordering his servants to go out, Yong Rong asked: "What happened to Ziyun Temple?"
Wei Xiuyan recounted what she saw, and said with lingering fear: "You didn't see the look on Prince He's face, it's so scary, he... he will really drive Ziyun Temple away and kill them all! I was afraid that I would be implicated, so I took advantage of them when they weren't paying attention.
