Chapter 3113 Taking advantage of the loophole
The Xinyu family is a family of monks. If in the past, the people of Ningcheng were concerned about the difference between monks and mortals, even if they pointed at Huai and scolded Sang, it would be behind their backs, for fear of being remembered by the monk family and retaliating against them.
But things are different now. The guardian of the Immortality Tree who sympathizes with the people is sitting in the county magistrate's mansion. The people are so confident that they dare to scold Xinyu in front of them.
The people who were watching were talking loudly and scolding each other.
The monks of the Xinyu family were so stunned that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
The half-grown children or teenagers who followed the elders didn't know who the people around them were scolding at first, but after listening for a while, they realized that those people were scolding their own family.
The Xinyu family is well-known in the Kaiming Mansion. The younger members of the family are not only taught a lesson by their elders in their own family, but in the eyes of other common people, they are the children of a superior monk family, and they are all arrogant.
A group of children and teenagers who have always only pointed at others and scolded them are now being pointed and scolded by a group of untouchables. How can the young and energetic teenagers stand it?
Several direct descendant children and teenagers with spiritual roots in the Xinyu family raised their originally drooped heads and looked around fiercely.
"Untouchable, shut up!"
"If the untouchables dare to scold the Xinyu family, they will destroy your whole family!"
"The untouchables are mean-mouthed, so beat them all to death and feed them to dogs!"
"Damn untouchable, if you dare to scold the young master, I will kill your whole family!"
"A bunch of bitches dare to scold the Xinyu family. I'm tired of living!"
The half-grown children and teenagers turned their necks and glared at people with stern eyes and ferocious faces.
The people who were drying things in the south area of the venue and who were closer to the holy statue felt as if they were being targeted by wild beasts when the Xinyu children and teenagers glanced at them, and chills ran down their backs.
The people fell silent for a moment.
Just like a cold was contagious, people far away suddenly became silent.
The common people were silent, and the scoldings of the Xinyu children were particularly loud and harsh.
Some people who were drying things in the Nanchang District heard the Xinyu children scolding and threatening them, so they ran out of the drying yard in panic and hid far away.
The children and teenagers of the Xinyu family became happy when they saw that their words had an effect, and the untouchables no longer dared to scold them.
Contrary to them, the elders of their family looked horrified. Their arms supporting the ground seemed to have been struck by lightning, their muscles trembled, and their veins flashed.
When the monks of the Xinyu clan first started calling the juniors "untouchables", their first reaction was to silence them.
However, before they had time to take action, a huge and majestic coercive force suddenly came and suppressed them to death.
That force was not only strong, but also carried a strong killing intent, making people feel as if anyone who dared to move would be killed.
In front of the tyrannical force with murderous intent, the monks of the Xinyu clan trembled in fear and tried their best to stay awake.
Because they were suppressed to death, the monks of the Xinyu family were no longer able to control the younger members of the family, so they just listened to the younger generations swearing unscrupulously.
The sound of "untouchable" was not loud enough that not all the civilians in the square could hear it, but to the ears of the monks from the Xinyu family, it sounded like thunder.
The head of the Xinyu family and the old family head of the Xinyu family were bombarded with "untouchable" words from the younger generations, and their brains were "buzzing".
It felt like tens of millions of years had passed. The monks in Xinyu felt that the murderous aura and pressure above their heads suddenly disappeared. They couldn't hold on anymore and they all fell to the ground.
The head of the Xinyu family and the old family head of the Xinyu family just lay down, and then they pushed themselves up and kowtowed tremblingly: "The Xinyu family has always advanced and retreated with the people, and never dared to regard human life as trivial. The younger members of the family have always liked to show off their quick words. Talk without any secret, please ask the fairies for clear advice! ”
A Mahayana prince of the Xinyu clan quickly silenced the younger members of the family to prevent them from talking nonsense again, and also sent a message to warn them.
The children and teenagers knew that they had almost gotten into trouble because of their quick words, so they all lowered their heads in fear.
Lord Shang and the monks from all ethnic groups in Ningcheng looked at the monks from the Xinyu family silently, and the people also remained silent.
Outside the Sheriff's Mansion, there was no other sound except the snorting of the oxen and horses pulling the cart and the slight sound of swishing their tails or stamping their feet on the ground.
After a while, an indifferent female voice came from the air: "What Xinyu said about advancing and retreating with the people means that you will either kill people or families who are slightly dissatisfied with your family and feed them to monsters, or secretly exterminate all the Manchus." behavior?
Or does it mean that you colluded with the treacherous villain and conspired with Lord Xinhun to plot against Ning County? ”
When the common people heard the familiar voice, their panicked hearts suddenly calmed down. They all raised their heads to look for the fairy, but they did not find the fairy.
The fairy didn't show up, and the people's hearts were at peace.
Shang Junjun and the monks are still just wooden people.
The monks in Xinyu were horrified and fell to the ground: "Please tell me from the fairy! The Xinyu family has never had any evil intentions to frame the Shang family and Ningjun. It was because they were temporarily deluded and listened to the instigation of villains and some courtiers with ulterior motives, and fought with them. Working together, a mistake was made.
Xinyu was also from Ningjun, and Ningjun was the foundation of the Xinyu family. If the people of Ningjun were not living in poverty, it would not be of any benefit to the Xinyu family. How could the Xinyu family do such evil things as harm their fellow villagers? ”
All the monks of the Xinyu clan cried out sadly: "Please give me a clear warning from the fairy!"
The crowd lay prostrate on the ground, wailing and screaming in sorrow, their voices so unsatisfactory.
"Since the Xinyu family claims to be innocent, I cannot believe the one-sided words of the Xinhe royal family and the Mahayana family, and I must give the Xinyu family a chance to prove their innocence.
What do the elders of Ningcheng and Lord Shang think? ”
Hearing the fairy's question, Lord Shang and the monks were slightly confused. In the governor's house that day, the person who exposed the secret of the collusion between the Xinyu family and Lord Xinhe was the internal prisoner, not the royal family. Now the fairy can tell You cannot listen to the one-sided words of the royal family and Mahayana people.
Everyone's thoughts were wandering, and they bowed and replied: "But it's up to the fairy!"
The common people believed in the justice of the divine tree bearer and responded happily: "The common people have to let the fairy make the decision!"
The guardian of the sacred tree agreed to give the Xinyu family a chance to prove their innocence. The Xinyu family head and the old family head secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Xinyu family... should be able to escape!
Another indifferent female voice came from the air: "The Xinyu family can prove their innocence. What evidence do you have to prove that you are not colluding with the villain and Xinhunjun to plot against the people of Ningjun because you are not seeking the position of commander in Ningjun? Please present it openly." ”
The Xinyu clan monks were stunned. Evidence?
The head of the old family of Xinyu leaned over tremblingly: "There were no witnesses when the people in the court encouraged the Xinyu family, and there was no photo stone record at that time. The Xinyu family has no direct evidence to prove the Xinyu family's innocence."
"Then how do you prove yourself?"
This is what the old head of the Xinyu family is waiting for: "We are willing to swear a soul oath."
"This is also a good idea." The voice in the air was still faint.
The next moment, a girl in a blue dress and long hair appeared in the air in front of the main entrance of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Lord Shang and the monks saw the blue light flashing, raised their eyes and saw the fairy standing in the air, and hurriedly bowed: "Fairy Jin'an!"
When the common people heard the sound, they also looked towards the direction of the Sheriff's Mansion. They were mortals and could not see the appearance of the fairy, but this did not prevent them from admiring the fairy. The people who were full of respect for the fairy, with blazing eyes, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the fairy!"
"No need to be polite." Le Yun nodded lightly, rising into the air higher than the jade statue, overlooking the Xinyu family from a high position.
"Are you sure Xinyu wants to swear to prove your innocence?"
When the monks in Xinyu heard the monks in Ningcheng talking to the people, they guessed that the guardian of the sacred tree had appeared. They were excited and nervous, and did not dare to let out their spiritual consciousness to look around, so they waited quietly.
When they heard the sound again, the Xinyu monks raised their heads, looked far away, and saw the female cultivator in blue dress standing high in the sky in front of them. They only glanced at it and then lowered their eyes.
The head of the old Xinyu family replied eloquently: "Back to the fairy, Xinyu is willing to swear a strong oath to prove his innocence."
"You can't recite soul oaths randomly, don't you regret it?"
"I will never regret it." The monks in Xinyu looked determined to die.
"Sure." Le Yun smiled: "Since you dare to swear, I will personally testify for you."
Lord Shang and the monks were puzzled, how could the fairy testify?
The people were even more confused. Wouldn't it be enough to swear to Tianfa?
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Le Yun raised a hand: "In my name, I ask the Emperor and the Empress to testify that the Xinyu family of Kaiming Prefecture in this county is responsible for the murder of the Shang family and the people of this county." Complaints of injustice, and I am willing to swear my soul to prove my innocence
I certify that my name is true as what the Xinyu family said is true, and I rectify the name of the Xinyu family.
If what the Xinyu family said is untrue, I curse the bloodline of the Xinyu family and all those who participated in the murder of the people of Ning County to be exterminated! ”
Before the people could react, golden light suddenly appeared in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a beam of bright golden light fell from the sky and enveloped the fairy.
The golden light fell, proving that what the fairy said was certified by heaven and earth.
The old patriarch of the Xinyu clan and the monks of the Xinyu clan looked in horror. The guardian of the sacred tree... she, she, she cut off the Xinyu clan's retreat!
There is a god three feet above the head, and the way of heaven is above. No matter whether it is a commoner or a monk, they generally dare not swear randomly for fear of being punished.
The old head of the Xinyu family dared to swear a soul oath because he had a way to avoid punishment.
But now...
The old head of the Xinyu family was horrified and his mind was unstable.
After taking the oath to testify herself, Le Yun lowered her hands and looked at the Xinyu family members calmly: "This fairy has already taken the oath to testify, and I am absolutely fair and impartial. Now you take the soul oath."
The monks of the Xinyu clan were frightened. How could they dare to swear? The old master of the Xinyu clan raised his head tremblingly and cast his pleading eyes at the guardian of the sacred tree. He was struggling fiercely in his heart: "Fairy...Fairy...please You forgive..."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's you who said you must swear your soul to prove your innocence."
Le Yun raised her eyelids and said: "My eyes are not filled with sand, and I will not forgive people who do evil things.
If you are guilty, it will be useless to ask this fairy. If you are not guilty, no matter how displeased I am, I will not accuse you. ”
"..." The old head of the Xinyu clan's eyes dimmed, he gritted his teeth, stood up tremblingly, raised his hands, and said with a trembling voice: "The emperor is above, the queen is below. I swear with my soul, the Xinyu clan has no I took the initiative to harm the people of Ning County and did wrong things because I listened to the instigation of villains. If there is anything wrong, I pray that God will punish me for not making any progress in my cultivation and never having the chance to attain enlightenment.”
"That's it!" Lord Shang suddenly realized, no wonder the Xinyu monks dared to swear a soul oath, it turned out that they had such an idea.
Listen, what did Xinyu say?
He said that if he told a lie, he would be willing to bear the punishment for failing to improve his cultivation level. On the surface, this punishment seemed very severe, but in fact, it was clearly an attempt to evade the important and take the easy one!
The old head of the Xinyu clan had reached the Great Perfection of the late stage of the catastrophe when he retired, and he was still at the peak of the catastrophe for thousands of years. If he could not be promoted to Mahayana, he would have at most two hundred years to live.
Regardless of whether he can be promoted to Mahayana or not, the old head of the Xinyu family basically has no possibility of attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality, so this kind of punishment for making no progress in cultivation is nothing.
The old head of the Xinyu family is evading punishment by avoiding the important and taking the easy. Presumably others plan to do the same. The Xinyu family is prepared to sacrifice the cultivation of a small number of monks to stagnate in order for the whole family to escape punishment.
Lord Shang understood the good calculation of the Xinyu clan, and the monks in Ningcheng also understood it, and the looks they looked at the Xinyu clan were wrong.
The old head of the Xinyu family took the oath and waited for the result with trepidation.
Someone took advantage of the oath, and Le Yun couldn't bear to look at it. Doesn't that person think Tiandao is a fool?
Is Yunlan Tiandao a fool?
Of course not!
Just when everyone in the Xinyu clan thought that their old master had passed the test and were preparing to follow suit, there was a muffled thunder sound in the air.
Thunder rolled over, and dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above the square.
Clouds covered the sky and the light dimmed.
"Oh, the weather has changed. Is it going to rain?" The people panicked. If it rained, the things they were drying would suffer.
"Fathers, don't panic. It's not raining, so don't be afraid of it. I and the monks are here to protect the things you are drying in the square." Lord Shang hurriedly reassured the people.
"It's not raining. Could it be that thunder is about to strike..."
The people were relieved, but before they finished speaking, there was thunder in the air.
Amidst the thunder, a white light tore through the sky and fell violently.
The monks in Ningcheng looked up at the sky and saw a blazing white light falling, their pupils widened: "White...Bai Lei? Why is it Bai Lei?!"
White thunder, the legendary thunder of punishment!
The monks of the Xinyu clan also looked up at the sky, and when they saw the thunder, they were so horrified that their livers and gallbladders burst.
The old head of the Xinyu family looked at the white thunder and lightning falling from the sky. He was so frightened that he crawled to the ground and knelt down, kowtowed, and cried hoarsely: "Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Please..."
As soon as he shouted the word "Qiu" for the third time, the blazing white sky thunder fell, covering everyone in the Xinyu clan. Everyone with spiritual roots was empowered by a ray of sky thunder.
More than a dozen of the Xinyu family's children and young people were struck by the white sky thunder.
The Xinyu monks in the white light were shaking and twisting all over, and bursts of lung-piercing screams came from their mouths.
At the same time, in Kaiming Mansion, which is more than eight million miles away from Ningcheng, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds. Golden thunder broke through the clouds and appeared, striking at the Xinyu clan before the people in the city could react. family.
The sky thunder came suddenly, and the monks of the Xinyu family who hurried to the air to check it were bombarded by the golden sky thunder before they could figure out what was going on.
The monks died in the lightning.
The golden thunder struck down the monk who blocked the way, swooped down, and mercilessly engulfed the Xinyu family.
