Riding on the back of the bull, Xu Ji slowly landed on the high platform.
The hundreds of magic weapons were beating loudly.
Countless distracting thoughts washed over Xu Ji's perception like a tide.
All I saw and heard was only four words: tit for tat!
Even if the souls in these magic weapons have been broken into pieces, even if the memories and emotions of their lifetime have been annihilated, even if they no longer possess wisdom.
But their will is unified.
Tooth for tooth!
Xu Ji stretched out his hand, and the books and documents recording the crimes flew into his hands one after another.
The words recorded on the first batch of paper were beating one by one.
Countless crimes, even if they are turned into cold words, even if they are turned into simple confessions, are still shocking to people.
I am afraid that those well-known tyrants and notorious poisoners on Blue Star can all run for models of benevolence in this mythical world.
Looking at the countless words shaking in front of my eyes, feeling the obsession in those magical instruments, the voices of millions of sentient beings echoed in my ears.
Xu Ji landed from the back of the bull.
The obsessions in those magic weapons seemed to sense something and began to calm down.
He slowly moved forward, walked up to Meng Bai, and said to this mortal who was almost crushed by the power of all living beings: "Meng Bai, thank you for your hard work!"
Meng Bai found that he had recovered his ability to speak.
The endless pressure around him disappeared completely in an instant.
Tianzun, took the pressure on his behalf and took over the situation.
Meng Bai lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lord, I have a great responsibility!"
"Please Heavenly Lord punish me!"
"You've done a great job!" Xu Ji said.
How can a mortal handle such a thing well?
"Your Majesty, please retire!" Meng Bai handed over his hand and was about to step down, leaving the stage to the real master.
"You stay!" Xu Ji said to Meng Bai, "There are still things I need you to take care of!"
"No!" Meng Bai bowed his hands politely.
Xu Ji turned around and looked at the dense crowd in front of him.
He also looked at the dozens of trembling sinners kneeling on the high platform.
He first asked the sinners: "Are you aware of your sins?"
Ji Xing and others hurriedly kowtowed: "I know my sin! I know my sin! I hope God will be merciful and grant the sinner a speedy death!"
The most fearful thing in the past is now their extravagant hope.
Because the real pain and despair are right in front of you.
Compared with this, what is the loss of soul?
Xu Ji grinned: "This shouldn't be decided by me!"
"It is the people who decide your destiny!"
"I am only responsible and let the people judge you!"
As he spoke, he gently tossed the thick book with the crimes nailed up in his hand.
The willow trees in the distance suddenly grew taller.
Countless branches and leaves were swaying, and crystal clear willow leaves suddenly appeared in countless villages, cities and streets in Liu County.
"I ask all sentient beings to make a decision..." Xu Ji bowed his hands and bowed: "I ask the victim's family to make a decision!"
"What punishment should a sinner deserve?!"
The willow leaves lit up one by one.
Relying on each student, each school, each Liujun's governing body, and Liujun's household registration book.
It also relies on the charges and accusations in Xu Ji's hands.
Willow accurately found the accusers, witnesses and victims one by one.
Then, words appeared on the willow leaves.
It is the crimes of the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State and the dozens of sinners on this high platform now.
Heinous crimes have been committed against millions of families.
…
In front of Yan An, the words fell and each one glowed in front of his eyes.
"Both mortal mother and daughter, who do not respect the law and trespass on the road, will die according to the law!"
This is the confession of the Lu warrior.
As the perpetrator, the warrior had already been sentenced to death last year and was hanged under the wall of Qufu. His soul was gone.
Not just because of his crimes against Yan An's mother and sister.
What’s more, he acted as an accomplice and committed the crime of killing dozens of innocent people one after another!
Even if he quibbles, he is just doing things under orders and has no intention of doing evil.
But he was still betrayed by the public trial and sentenced to death, and his soul was shattered!
After being hanged, as soon as his soul spilled out, a clear light fell and crushed his soul into pieces.
"Don't remember such a thing!"
"I didn't give the order, it was all done by my subordinates!"
This is Ji Xing's confession.
"I am not a doctor, but I only respect the law!"
This is the confession of Ji Xing's doctor.
"This is the order from the doctor Wang Shan. Anyone who violates the rules can be killed!"
This was the confession of the Lu official who led the army to open the way that day.
"On a certain day of a certain month, I obtained two skeletons of a mortal mother and daughter, one soul each, and they were destined to be refined into the Ten Thousand Yin Banners..."
This is the confession of a Nascent Soul monk from the Duke of Lu State.
Although these words are simple.
But every word was like a knife, cutting into Yan An's heart.
"Yan An, please rule, are the criminals Ji Xing, Wang An and others guilty?"
There is a voice in my ear.
It is the voice of Tianzun.
Yan An raised his head and said with determination: "Guilty! Guilty!"
The iron law of Liu County: Those who kill will die!
…
"Guilty! Guilty!"
Countless voices rolled in like thunder.
Human race, demon race, aquatic race...
Millions of voices converged into thunder.
The once oppressed, the once exploited, the ruled classes who were once misled, provoked, made enemies of each other, and hated each other, have now awakened!
Not just the 20,000 students.
There are hundreds of thousands of educated people.
There are even millions of people who have stood up.
People who stand up through labor.
Understand that it is your own labor that feeds the gods and gods, rather than the gods and goddesses that feed and shelter their people.
The people have awakened!
The willow tree swayed.
The single horn in the dense clouds gradually solidified from nothingness, and the cyan light on the single horn gradually brightened.
"Guilty!" A voice seemed to say.
That is the voice of the people.
It is also the voice of humanity!
It is the voice of justice and fairness!
On the high platform, hundreds of magical instruments were trembling violently.
Xu Ji knew that at this moment, he just had to follow the verdict.
Then, the sinners in front of us will suffer forever.
Eternal life, tormented by the ghosts of the deceased.
Just like the sinners who were tortured in the eighteen levels of hell in the legend of Blue Star.
He was thrown into the frying pan again and again, he was chopped into pieces again and again, he was beheaded and quartered again and again...
The victims were tortured and killed by them.
Now, they have to pay it back from beginning to end, including the principal and interest!
And, it's not just them.
Xu Ji could feel that this was a complete reckoning.
All those who are pronounced guilty will be pursued as long as their souls are still there!
This is the power of ‘law’.
In Blue Star, law is a tool of the ruling class.
In this mythical world, nature is the same.
However, in a world where Taoism and law are manifested, the power of the law after being blessed by millions of people and recognized by heaven and earth is beyond imagination.
"It seems that it will be necessary to separate civil law and criminal law in the future..."
"Civil law, dealing with general issues..."
"Criminal law is specifically designed to deal with Taoist and magical crimes!"
Xu Ji thought this way, but did not agree with the wishes of all living beings.
Instead, he took a step back.
"Your sins and evils..." He looked at the sinners who had been frozen by the horn that had appeared in the void and gradually solidified, and were also surrounded by hundreds of magical artifacts, and slowly said: "In a moment,
It’s hard to write down the sins of all the bamboos in Lu! It’s hard to stop the waves of the East China Sea!”
"Although I can immediately rule that you deserve to be punished!"
"But, you can't overstep your authority!"
Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai behind him and said, "Meng Bai, come forward!"
"Yes!" Meng Bai took a step forward, feeling blessed in his heart. He immediately raised his body and bowed: "Your Majesty, Meng Bai, respectfully listen to the decree!"
Xu Ji looked ahead, at the swaying willow trees and the people illuminated by countless willow leaves.
Human race, water race, demon race...
Millions of faces appeared before our eyes, and the voices of countless people shook in their hearts.
"All living beings in Liu County, please listen to my words..." Xu Ji said slowly: "Now, if the sinner pleads guilty, his crime shall be punished!"
"But, this is a matter for all sentient beings!"
"I cannot overstep my authority, but now there is no one who can represent all living beings..."
"So, I propose and recommend that Meng Bai be temporarily appointed as the general manager of Liu County..."
The reason why I chose the general manager is because the feudal title is not suitable, and the suitable title may be 404. Xu Ji doesn't like the remaining options.
So this title was coined.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Whether it's general manager or great commander, it's just a title, a title.
There is essentially no difference.
…
"I will obey the decree of the Heavenly Lord!"
Under the high platform, countless people immediately bowed.
And among the willow leaves, the voices of millions of people also sounded.
"Follow the law!"
Xu Ji's expression changed slightly as he listened, but soon returned to normal.
I just feel regretful in my heart.
He knew that this was a normal thing.
The sentient beings of the Lu Kingdom in this mythical world have just emerged from the quagmire.
Education has not yet been fully popularized, and new social relations and a new social order have not yet emerged.
Productivity has not reached the point where it is sufficient to generate and create a new class.
Everything is still budding, everything is still waiting to grow.
The people in Liu County have just gotten used to being the masters of their own affairs, and they have just understood that it is they who support the immortals, not the immortals who support them.
Therefore, even the students were interested in what Xu Ji asked Lingxi Boyzi to spread and spread everywhere.
At most, it is only half-understood.
Thinking like this, Xu Ji felt calm.
After all, even he cannot understand what Long Live the People means before he has tasted the pain of blessings!
Not to mention the people of this mythical world.
It can't be forced.
The differences and differences between the two worlds also destined some unchanging truths on Blue Star to be irreconcilable here.
You must know that this is a world where Taoism manifests itself, it is also a world where gods and Buddhas really exist, and it is a world that can really last for ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years or even more.
Blue Star chases wealth.
But in this mythical world, immortality and eternal life are the pursuits of all living beings, especially the pursuits of monks.
Therefore, Xu Ji knew that he had to be humble.
Learn from the people humbly.
Be humble and learn from the world.
Of course, this does not mean complicity.
Rather, it is inclusive and advances with the times.
With thoughts intertwined in his mind, Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai.
He stretched out his hand, the willow tree swayed slightly, and a willow leaf fell into his palm, and then he moved gently.
Countless light spots came from all directions and intertwined with the willow leaves.
"Meng Bai!" Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai, who has been with Liu County all his life and can be considered an excellent bureaucrat and tool man, and said: "Kneel down! Kneel down to the people!"
"No!" Although Meng Bai didn't understand, he still knelt down honestly.
Unexpectedly, this time, he could kneel down on his knees.
Xu Ji held up the willow leaf in his hand.
The light spots intertwined, and the willow leaf slowly deformed and turned into a seal.
Each word appears in the seal.
"When you take orders from the people, you must be fair and honest!"
Suddenly, the five colors flowed and the five colors gathered together.
The billowing purple air lingers in it, and infinite power is added to it.
"I say something, you say something!"
"promise!"
"My Meng Bai!"
"My Meng Bai!"
"I am here today to swear an oath to the heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains and rivers..."
"I am here today to swear an oath to the heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains and rivers..."
The sky that should have been dark suddenly brightened up, as if something was waking up.
The entire mountains and rivers in Liujun instantly became spiritual.
Above the sky, the shadows of stars faintly appeared.
The setting sun seems to have become brighter, and the moon that has not yet risen seems to be hanging in the sky, just like a summer evening.
"I have been entrusted by the people. Today, when I am appointed as the general manager of Liu County, I must put the people first and all living beings as the king!"
"Be loyal to Liu County, be loyal to the people, be loyal to the resolution of the committee, and be loyal to the people's convention!"
"As a servant of the people, as a minister of all living beings, this is the case today, this is the case tomorrow, and this is the case every day!"
"If you violate this oath, heaven will punish you and the earth will destroy you!"
…
One line from Xu Ji and one line from Meng Bai.
In just a short moment, the seal in Xu Ji's hand gradually became sacred.
Among the seals, the shadow of a black dragon is looming.
Countless moral lights are intertwined from inside and outside.
Xu Ji stepped forward, handed the seal into Meng Bai's hand, and said to him: "Remember your oath!"
"No!" Meng Bai took the seal, his whole body swaying and almost unsteady.
He even felt that the seal was as heavy as heaven and earth.
If he is not careful, his body and soul will be crushed.
However, it feels as light as a feather when I get it!
Not only that!
The moment he took the seal, he knew it.
Immediately turn around and bow three times and nine times to the heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the mountains and rivers.
Then he knelt before the people and the willow leaves.
Just like the legendary minister who was ordered by the king.
Also like an envoy who is about to go on a mission to a foreign country.
His face was full of solemnity and solemnity. While bowing, he said: "My minister Meng Bai is entrusted by all people and will always be the minister of all people. From today on, I will work hard and sleep nightly. I will take the wishes of all living beings as my own and the people's wishes."
Benefit for your own benefit!”
"May Liu County prosper and prosper, and may our people be healthy and happy!"
boom!
There seemed to be a loud explosion between heaven and earth.
The seal in Meng Bai's hand was overflowing with countless dragon patterns.
These dragon patterns overflowed from the seal he held in his hands, and were entangled in his skin, clothes and flesh one by one.
A crisp dragon roar resounded across the heaven and earth, shaking cause and effect.
A phantom appeared behind him.
Black Emperor Zhuanxu!
The shadow flashed past and disappeared behind Meng Bai.
