Chapter 132 Xu Wuxiang’s Dream
Xu Wuxiang watched helplessly as a big man put a knife in his mouth and took off his clothes, revealing the flying dragon seal on his chest and back, and then Waving the knife, he smiled ferociously and shouted at the cavalry that was rushing over: "Old Mother Wusheng gave me the magical power of diamond body protection to save the world."
Seeing that the cavalry's saber had come across, he actually stood upright. Standing there with a look of contempt on his face.
At this moment, if it weren't for the cavalry's saber still showing the physical effectiveness it was supposed to show, Xu Wuxiang really thought that there would be something in this world that he didn't understand.
The saber swept across the strong man's neck, and the head detached from the body without incident, flew up more than two feet, and then fell to the ground.
With his head gone, the strong man’s huge body still ran forward two steps before falling to the ground, and was soon trampled into a ball of rotten meat by the horses’ hooves.
More than two hundred cavalry armed to the teeth, facing a hundred infantry who can’t fight and can only shout, are like an eight-foot-tall strong man beating a five-year-old child. .
But this young boy didn't even know how to run away. Instead, he held up a knife and used words to scare the strong man.
After one glance at such a battle, there is no need to take a second look, so Yun Zhao and Xu Wuxiang’s eyes fell on the gap in the city wall again.
The sound of explosions there has not stopped since the beginning. Occasionally, some scattered arrows will fly out, but they can always be deflected by the escort soldiers holding round shields.
The county magistrate standing on the top of the city witnessed an unsuspicious massacre. When he saw the cavalry dismounting from their horses and starting to harvest heads, he ordered the city gate to be opened. He lowered the suspension bridge and knelt on the roadside to apologize.
No one who was standing behind him was now gone.
"Tie him up and hang him on the waterwheel, and let the waterwheel turn. There will be no water in the city."
Yun Zhao whispered and the guards would go. Did it.
When the guards tied up the county magistrate and hung him on the waterwheel, and started the waterwheel to rotate, Yun Zhao still did not go through the city gate, but followed the path opened for him by his subordinates. The new city gate entered the city.
After entering the city, Yun Zhao couldn't help but shake his head. After walking less than a hundred meters, he saw two Wusheng Old Mother Temples one after another.
Looking at the white-haired and kind appearance of the Wusheng old mother in the temple, Yun Zhao sighed. This deity appeared for a relatively short time, only a hundred years ago, but she was the number one at the beginning of the universe. This god can be called the ancestor of all gods. She has great power and can realize all the visions in the world. The only thing you need to insist on is to believe in her. Only true believers can gain the favor of the Inanimate Mother and then get benefits from the gods. .
There is flowing water along the street, and the bluestones paved on the street are also very clean. Although the houses on both sides are low, they are neat and simple.
It is very different from the ordinary counties that Yun Zhao has seen.
Spiritual heights,There is absolutely no room for dirt and cleanliness is the unified requirement of all religions for believers. Only when the body is clean and the environment is clean can the human spirit be happy.
The water channel beside the street is obviously newly built. It should be a product of the same time as the water wheel outside the city. The water channel is also very clean. There are no common scenes of swaying water plants, only clear and clear water. The water gurgled.
"Destroy the temple!"
Yun Zhao gave the order, and immediately some cavalry lit the grenade and threw it into the temple.
After the grenade sounded, two small wooden temples filled with smoke and collapsed. A temple priest with chicken skin and crane hair flew out of one of the temples.
Looking at the way she flew out on her stomach and hit the bluestone steps, it looked like she couldn’t be saved.
Xiao Miao was blown up, and the originally closed doors and windows opened again in an instant. From inside the windows, many dull faces were revealed, including men, women, old and young. However, these people did not rush out of the house. He came out and just looked at the majestic cavalry on the street fiercely.
Yun Zhao smiled, pointed to two more temples that appeared not far away and said, "Blow them up!"
After hearing the order, the cavalry approaching the temple did not hesitate. He lit the grenade and threw it into the temple.
After the two explosions of "Boom, Boom", the two small temples dedicated to only one god collapsed again.
Xu Wuxiang looked nervously at the residents on both sides of the street, shouting crazily in his heart: "Don't run out, he is testing your bottom line to see if you can still get rid of superstition." "Relief."
Yun Zhao waited for a moment and saw that the eyes of the people on both sides were full of tears, but no one rushed out of the house to settle the score with him, and the smile on his face became bright.
At least these people knew that their necks were not as strong as a knife, and at least they understood one thing. The heads of those who usually claimed to be blessed by the Motherless Mother were all chopped off and hung on the necks of cavalry horses. below.
Yun Zhao ordered four temples to be blown up in succession. The people here did not move, so Yun Zhao knew that he could blow up all the temples here.
If these people give in twice in a row, they will continue to give in.
As expected, the people in Qingshui City seemed to have become numb, or were used to it, as he bombed temples along the way.
Until Yun Zhao and his party came to a magnificent Wusheng Old Mother Temple.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the temple is an old man who does not look like a Taoist priest, but is wearing a Taoist robe, and does not look like a monk, but has a bare head. Behind him are seven or eight camphor wood boxes stacked, and the top box is open It was full of silver ingots. Beside the box, there were two little girls with picturesque faces standing.
From a distance, he shouted at Yun Zhao, who was surrounded by people: "Is the general here to destroy the law?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "No. Wrong, the laws of the Ming Dynasty state that obscene temples and evil sacrifices are not allowed, but evil gods who are not on the list of sacrifices of the Ministry of Rites are not allowed to enter the house."
"The Innocent Old Mother is the product of the people's hard work and thoughts, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the world. General, please remember that the people are pitiful and cannot be redeemed. Finally, we have a good place to express our wishes. Please let me go to the Innocent Old Mother Temple. The old monk is willing to dedicate the incense accumulated by Wu Sheng Lao Mu Temple for hundreds of years to the general, as well as the pair of virgins. From now on, the general will be the protector of my Lao Mu Temple."
Yun. Zhao smiled and said: "Very good. The incense and money obtained by the Wusheng Old Mother Temple are all the money of the people in Qingshui City. I take it from the people and use it for the people, which is also very good.
However, this temple must be burned down."
The old monk in Taoist robes suddenly stood up, pointed his halberd at Yun Zhao and said: "There are gods three feet above your head! You are not afraid of disasters caused by the gods! With you?"
Yun Zhao shook his head irritably and said: "Then let her come quickly. I will leave after dealing with the evil priests here. I am worried that she will come too late. It’s not on my schedule.
After saying that, he said to a hundred cavalry commander beside him: “What are you waiting for if you don’t take action?”
The old monk in Taoist robes saw that a group of cavalrymen had started to light grenades. , stood in front of the temple door and said: "If you want to destroy the temple, kill me first."
Looking at the old monk with his arms spread out and his awe-inspiring look, Yun Zhao chuckled, waved his hand, and held a branch. The feather arrow flew out from his side and accurately nailed the old monk's leg.
The old monk screamed and fell to the ground.
Then a dozen grenades were thrown into the temple from all directions.
The grenades were very effective. After a series of loud noises, this beautiful temple, which had three floors and was built entirely with huge timbers, was covered in dust.
After a while, the smoke cleared. Although the temple had been blown to pieces, it still stood tenaciously in place.
Seeing this, the old monk in Taoist robes who was lying on the ground screaming miserably found the strength to stand up with the arrow. He raised his arms and roared: "My mother has appeared."
Yun Zhao didn't know what he meant and glanced at it, and said to Commander Baiqi: "Use gunpowder packets."
The grenade lost its effect just now, which made Commander Baiqi feel very embarrassed. He roared angrily, and the first one He took out a gunpowder bag from his horse bag, ran forward two steps, lit the gunpowder bag, and threw it in. There were three more cavalrymen who did the same thing with him. After throwing four gunpowder bags in, Yun Zhao's There is an extra shield around him.
With a thunderbolt, the temple that was still standing strong finally fell into pieces after the flames started. The broken wood and bricks flew far away, and even the two tall cypress trees in front of the temple were destroyed. Half of the branches were cut off.
Yun Zhao picked his ears. The loud noise just now made his ears buzz.
When he felt better, the smoke and dust were blown away by the wind, and a fire broke out in the collapsed temple, scorching the talismans written on the lintel and the gold foil affixed to it.
The old monk in Taoist robes was not dead. He crawled to the front of Yun Zhao’s team and pointed at Yun Zhao.: "You will definitely get retribution."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Go to Mother Wusheng and help me ask when she will come to take revenge on me, so that I can make preparations first."
Xu Wuxiang looked at Yun Zhao in surprise, but saw two cavalrymen jumping off their horses, grabbing the old monk in Taoist robes, holding him high and heading straight to the burning temple.
The old monk looked at them in surprise and kept struggling: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"
The cavalry did not answer his question. The two of them used their strength together to throw the old monk into the burning temple.
Xu Wuxiang heard the strange cry of the old monk in the flames, closed his eyes and turned his head away.
Yun Zhao patted Xu Wuxiang on the shoulder, pointed at the two girls who fainted from the loud noise and the pile of money and said: "It's your turn to take action, you'd better ask those two A girl, once you understand her family background, send her back."
Xu Wuxiang nodded dully.
Seeing that there were no more screams coming from the flames, Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wu and thought, "Do you think I am cruel?"
Xu Wu Xiangmumu said: "You are worthy of coming from a family of bandits."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "I was originally a bandit, I don't know why you think I am a kind person all these years? ”
“You are very good to us, very good to the people of Lantian County, and very good to the refugees. Even if we disobey you, the people collide with you, and the refugees slander you, you always laugh it off. Why are you here?” Are you no longer kind here?"
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "Of course I am willing to show my kind side if it is not necessary. Don't look at the quiet and peaceful place here. Wait for Yun Yang. After they break through Bayeling and capture Temuhanba, you can interrogate this person and see the situation on Bayeling, so you won’t think I’m cruel.”
Xu Wu. I want to whisper: "I am not so excited for a monk. You are our king and will be my emperor in the future. I beg you to retain more of your kindness and less violence. I would rather you because Mercy spares ten evil people, but I don’t want you to kill a good person by mistake because of your violence.
You are the one I have seen. The best master I have ever heard and thought of, I hope your name will be remembered forever, and I don’t want you to have even the slightest flaw in your body.”
Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wuxiang. He frowned for a while and said: "Is this your ideal?"
Xu Wuxiang bent down and bowed deeply: "This is my dream!"
Yun Zhao said calmly : "Stop dreaming, I may not be able to do what you want."
