What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 381 The King of the People

Riding on the back of the bull, Xu Ji slowly landed on the high platform.

The hundreds of magical instruments were beating and beating.

Countless distracting thoughts washed over Xu Ji's perception like tides.

From what I have seen and heard, there are only four words: A tooth for a tooth!

Even if the souls in these magic tools have been broken into pieces, even if the memories and feelings of life have been annihilated, even if they no longer have wisdom.

But their will is unified.

A tooth for a tooth!

Xu Ji stretched out his hand, and the booklets and documents recording the crimes flew into his hands one after another.

The words that were recorded on the first batch of paper that were created danced one by one.

Countless crimes, even if they are turned into cold words, even if they are turned into simple confessions, they are still shocking to see.

Looking at the countless words shaking in front of my eyes, feeling the obsession in those magic tools, and the voices of millions of sentient beings echoing in my ears.

Xu Ji landed on the back of the bull.

The obsession in those instruments seemed to sense something and began to quiet down.

He walked forward slowly, walked in front of Meng Bai, and said to this mortal who was almost crushed by the power of all living beings: "Meng Bai, you have worked hard!"

Meng Bai found that he had regained the ability to speak.

The endless pressure around her body disappeared in an instant.

Tianzun, took the pressure in his place and took over the situation.

Meng Bai lowered his head and said respectfully: "I have a heavy trust, sir!"

"Also ask Heavenly Venerable to punish!"

"You have done a good job!" Xu Ji said.

How can a mortal handle such a thing well?

"Resign!" Meng Bai cupped his hands and was about to step down, leaving the stage to the real master.

"You stay here!" Xu Ji said to Meng Bai: "I still have something to do, I want you to do it!"

"No!" Meng Bai politely cupped his hands.

Xu Ji turned his head 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, "Have you been convicted?"

Ji Xing and the others hurriedly kowtowed: "Convicted! Convicted! I pray that God will be merciful and give the sinner a quick death!"

Losing their souls, the thing they feared the most 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 soul flying away?
Xu Ji grinned: "This should not be decided by me!"

"It is the people who decide your fate!"

"This seat is only responsible, let the people judge you!"

As he spoke, he lightly tossed the thick and stapled booklet of crimes in his hand.

The willow tree in the distance suddenly rose up.

Countless branches and leaves swayed, and pieces of crystal clear willow leaves suddenly manifested in countless villages, cities and streets in Liu County.

"All sentient beings, please judge..." Xu Ji cupped his hands and bowed: "Please the families of the victims, please judge!"

"Sinners, what punishment should we wait for?!"

The willow leaves light up one by one.

Relying on each student, each school, each administrative organization of Liujun, and the household registration book of Liujun.

More relying on the crimes 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 rulers and ministers of the Lu Kingdom, the dozens of criminals who are now on this high platform.

The heinous crimes committed against millions of families.

……

In front of Yan An, the words fell down, one by one shining in front of his eyes.

"A mortal mother and daughter, disrespecting the law, trespassing the way, according to the law, die!"

This is the confession of the Lu warrior.

As the perpetrator, the warrior had already been punished last year, and was hanged under the city wall of Qufu, his soul was scattered.

Not just because of his crimes against Yan An's mom and sister.

What's more, he acted as a minion for a tiger, killing and massacring dozens of innocent people!

Even if he quibbles, he is only doing what he is ordered to do, and he has no intention of doing evil.

But he was still sentenced to death by the public trial, and his soul flew away!
After being hanged, just as his soul overflowed, a ray of light fell and crushed his soul.

"I don't remember such a thing!"

"The widow did not order, it was all done by the subordinates!"

This is Ji Xing's confession.

"I am no more than a doctor, but I respect the law!"

This is the confession of Ji Xing's doctor.

"It was the doctor Wang Shan who ordered that anyone who oversteps the law can be killed!"

This is the confession of the Lu official who led the army to open the way that day.

"On a certain day in a certain month, I got two skeletons of a mortal mother and daughter, one for each soul, and I was ordered to refine them into the Ten Thousand Yin Banner..."

This is the confession of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Duke of Lu.

These words, although simple.

But every word was like a knife, hitting Yan An's heart.

"Yan An, please rule, are the sinners Ji Xing and Wang An guilty?"

There is a sound in the ear.

It is the voice of Tianzun.

Yan An raised his head and was extremely firm: "Guilty! Guilty!"

The iron law of Liujun, the murderer dies!

……

"Guilty! Guilty!"

Countless voices came like thunder.

Human Race, Monster Race, Water Race...

Millions of voices converged into thunder.

The former oppressed, the former exploited, the ruled class who were once misled, provoked, turned against each other, and killed each other, have now awakened!

Not just the [-] students.

There are hundreds of thousands more educated.

There are millions of people standing up.

People who stand up through labor.

I understand that it is my own labor that feeds the gods, not the gods who feed and shelter their people.

Awakened people!
The willow tree swayed.

The solitary horn in the dark cloud layer gradually solidified from nothingness, and the cyan brilliance on the solitary horn gradually brightened.

"Guilty!" A voice seemed to say.

On the high platform, hundreds of instruments trembled violently.

Xu Ji knew that at this moment, he only had to keep up with the sentencing.

Then, the sinners in front of them will fall into the endless sea of ​​suffering forever.

Eternal life, tormented by the ghosts of the dead.

Time and time again, he was put in a frying pan, cut into pieces again and again, beheaded and dismembered again and again...

The victims were tortured and killed by them.

Now, they are going to pay back the money with interest from the beginning to the end!
And, it's not just them.

Xu Jineng felt that this was a complete liquidation.

All those who have been convicted will be pursued as long as their souls are still alive!
This is the power of 'law'.

In the world where Taoism is manifested, the power of law manifested after being blessed by millions of people and recognized by heaven and earth is beyond imagination.

"It seems that in the future, it is necessary to separate civil law and criminal law..."

"Civil law, dealing with general issues..."

"Criminal law is specially designed to deal with crimes involving Taoism and supernatural powers!"

Xu Ji thought this way, but he didn't have the wish to go along with all living beings.

Instead, take a step back.

"Your sins and evils..." He looked at the sinners who had been manifested in the nothingness and gradually solidified, and the sinners who were surrounded by hundreds of magic weapons said slowly: " The whole Lu's bamboo, the crime is hard to write! The waves of the East China Sea, the evil is endless!"

"Although I can immediately rule that you deserve to suffer!"

"However, you can't do it for me!"

Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai behind him, and said, "Meng Bai, come forward!"

"Yes!" Meng Bai took a step forward, feeling blessed, and immediately bowed: "Meng Bai, I respectfully hear the decree!"

Xu Ji looked forward, the swaying willows, the people illuminated by countless willow leaves.

Human Race, Aqua Race, Monster Race...

Millions of faces appeared in front of my eyes, and the voices of countless people shook in my heart.

"Everyone in Liujun, please listen to me..." Xu Ji said slowly, "Now, if a sinner pleads guilty, he will be punished for his crime!"

"But, this is a matter for all living beings!"

"I can't go overboard, but now there is no one who can represent all living beings..."

"So, I propose and recommend that Meng Bai be temporarily appointed as Liujun...the chief..."

The reason why the manager was chosen was because the feudal title was not suitable, and the suitable title might be 404, and Xu Ji didn't like the rest of the options.

That's how the title was coined.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Whether it is the general manager or the great commander, it is just a title, a title.

Essentially there is no difference.

……

"Follow the decree of Heavenly Venerable!"

Under the high platform, countless people bowed immediately.

And among the willow leaves, the voices of millions of people also sounded.

"Follow the law!"

Xu Ji's complexion changed slightly as he listened, but he quickly returned to normal.

Just in my heart, I have some regrets.

He knew it was normal.

The people of Lu Kingdom in this mythical world have just stepped out of the quagmire.

Education has not yet been fully popularized, and new social relations and a new social order have not emerged.

The productive forces have not yet reached the point where a new class is born and created.

Everything is still budding, everything is still waiting to grow.

The people in Liujun have only just gotten used to being their own masters, and just realized that it is they who feed the gods, not the gods who feed them.

Therefore, even the students are concerned about what Xu Ji asked Lingxi Boy to spread and spread everywhere.

At most, it is only half-knowledge.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji was at ease.

After all, even he can't understand what Long Live the People is until he has tasted the pain of blessings!

Not to mention the people of this mythical world.

It cannot be forced.

The differences and differences between the two worlds are also doomed to some unchangeable truths in Blue Star, which will be difficult to tolerate here.

You know, this is a world where Taoism manifests its holiness, and it is also a world where gods and Buddhas really exist, and it is a world that can really last for 1 years, 10 years or even more.

Blue Star chases fortune.

But in this mythical world, longevity and eternal life are the pursuit of all living beings, especially the pursuit of monks.

Therefore, Xu Ji knew that he had to be humble.

Learn from the people humbly.

Humbly learn from the world.

Of course, this does not mean complicity.

Instead, it is inclusive and keeps pace with the times.

With thoughts intertwined in his mind, Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai.

He stretched out his hand, the willow tree shook slightly, and a willow leaf fell on his palm, and he made another stroke.

Countless light spots came from all directions, intertwined with willow leaves.

"Meng Bai!" Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai, an excellent bureaucrat and tool man who had accompanied Liujun all the way up to now, and said, "Kneel down! Kneel down to the people!"

"No!" Although Meng Bai didn't understand, he still knelt down obediently.

Unexpectedly, this time, he could kneel down.

Xu Ji held up the willow leaf in his hand.

The light spots are intertwined, and the willow leaf slowly deforms, turning into a seal.

One by one, the words are manifested in the seal.

"Being ordered by the people is both fair and honest!"

Immediately, the colorful flow lingered, and the five colors gathered together.

Billowing purple air, lingering in it, imbued with infinite power.

"I say something, you say something!"

"promise!"

"My Mengbai!"

"My Mengbai!"

"Here today, I swear to heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains and rivers..."

"Here today, I swear to heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains and rivers..."

The sky that should have been dark suddenly lit up, as if something was waking up.

The mountains, rivers and rivers of the entire Liu County became spiritual in an instant.

Above the sky, shadows of stars appeared faintly.

The setting sun that was about to set seemed to become brighter, and the moon that had not yet risen seemed to hang in the sky, just like a summer evening.

"I am entrusted by Wanmin, and I am appointed as the general manager of Liujun today. I must put the people first and regard all living beings as the king!"

"Loyal to Liujun, loyal to the people, loyal to the resolutions of the committee, and loyal to the people's pact!"

"Servant of the people, minister of all living beings, today, tomorrow, every day!"

"If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and destroyed by earth!"

……

One sentence from Xu Ji, one sentence from Meng Bai.

In just a short moment, the seal in Xu Ji's hand gradually became sacred.

In the seal, the shadow of a black dragon is looming.

Countless moral lights interweave from within and without.

Xu Ji stepped forward, handed the seal to Meng Bai, and said to him, "Remember your oath!"

"No!" Meng Bai took the seal, his whole body was wobbly, almost unable to hold it firmly.

He even felt that this seal was as heavy as heaven and earth.

If he is not careful, his body and soul will be crushed.

However, the feeling of getting started is as light as a feather!

Not only that!

The moment he took the seal, he knew it.

Immediately turned around, bowed three times and bowed nine times to the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the mountains and rivers.

Then he bowed down to the people under the stage and the willow leaves.

It's like, the legendary minister who was ordered by the king.

It is also like an envoy who is about to go to a foreign country.

With a solemn and solemn face, he bowed and said: "Meng Bai, entrusted by the people, will always be the minister of the people. From today on, I will sleep long and sleep at night. I will take the wishes of all living beings as my own wishes, and I will take the wishes of the people as my own." Benefit for your own benefit!"

"May my Liu County prosper, and may our people be healthy and happy!"

boom!
Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be a loud explosion.

And the seal in Meng Bai's hand overflowed with countless dragon patterns.

These dragon patterns overflowed from the seal he held in both hands, entangled one by one in his skin, clothing and flesh and blood.

A crisp dragon chant resounded the heaven and earth, shaking cause and effect.

A phantom appeared behind him.

Black Emperor Zhuanxu!

The phantom flashed past and disappeared behind Meng Bai.

Let him have a different taste in an instant.

The taste of majesty is called!
