Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 1 Prologue
In the bright and clean Buddhist hall, several people are worshiping devoutly.

The head one has deep eyes and a high nose, tall, strong, burly and fat. Sitting on the futon, his big belly almost broke through the armor, like a round ball, but against the background of the Buddha statue, he looks kindly and kind, as if he has been tainted with a bit of Buddha spirit.

Boom, boom, boom...

The wooden fish knocked softly, and the monks, one tall and one short, put their hands together and recited Buddhist scriptures softly.

However, no matter how gentle the chanting sound was, it still couldn't dispel the evil spirit carried by these people.

"Ah--"

The leader couldn't sit still for a long time, and let out a breath of foul air.

Suddenly, the whole Buddhist hall was cold, and the tall monk trembled, his voice changed.

The fat man glanced sideways, and the tall monk was even more panicked, his face was trembling, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

The short monk waved his hand, and the tall monk retreated out of the Buddhist hall in a panic as if he had received an amnesty.

"Great Monk, what is Buddhism?" Fatty's voice was low, his original kindness and kindness disappeared the moment he opened his mouth, and it might be because of the inherent evil looks of Jie people that made people shudder.

The short monk clasped his hands together, "If you don't kill, it's for the Dharma."

"The great monk is saying that I killed too much?" Fatty stood up suddenly, the armor on his body clanging, like a giant python dragging its scales.

And when he stood up, he completely blocked the light in front of the Buddha statue, putting half of the Buddhist hall under his shadow.

The relatives behind him seemed to feel the master's heart, and they all pressed the handle of the knife.

Evil and murderous aura rise up instantly, if there is substance.

It seems that as long as the leader nods his head, the "big monk" will be smashed into thousands of pieces!
"Since the king of heaven believes in Buddhism, he should know that the Dharma is merciful, and he will not be violent or harm the innocent." The short monk was not moved by the evil spirit.

The stout man was Shihu, the Heavenly King of Great Zhao, and the short monk named Fo Tucheng, who came from the Western Regions and entered Zhao for decades, was highly respected and revered since the time of Great Hu Shile.

After Yongjia, massacres were heavy, and the Hu and Han in Zhongzhou all worshiped Buddhism, and Buddhism flourished.

Fotucheng served two generations of Zhao lords, promoted Buddhism, and promoted Taoism. He passed through prefectures and counties and established three Buddhist temples.

"I am the king of heaven, how can I not kill?" Shi Hu took a step forward, feeling full of oppression.

But Fotucheng was not afraid, as if the Buddha statue in the hall did not change his face, "It is precisely because of this that the king of heaven should abstain from killing. If he is violent and willful, killing is not a crime. Even if all the property is offered, it will not eliminate the crime and disaster. It is also inevitable.”

"Hahaha, well said!" Shi Hu raised his head and laughed, revealing his uneven black and yellow teeth.

Just as he was laughing uncontrollably, there was a roaring sound outside the Buddhist hall.

The strong wind blew the curtains in the Buddhist hall, and the candles were also blown out.

Shi Hu turned and walked outside the hall, looking at the cloudy sky.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt slammed down from the clouds, and the entire city of Ye was instantly enveloped in white light. Then, the thunder was deafening, as if the sky was falling apart.

"Go away!"

There were shouts in the city, and black smoke rose.

Shi Hu stared at the black smoke with a blank face. It was one of the pavilions he had mobilized 40 people to build.

The wives and children of countless people were scattered, and countless people were turned into bones and buried under the pavilion...

The electric light is still flickering in the clouds.

"What is this sign?"

Under the majestic majesty of the sky, the "king of heaven" also felt frightened.

Fotucheng shook his head, "I don't know."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Shi Hu's face, "The Great Monk has always seen things thousands of miles away, and can predict good and bad, why doesn't he know what's going on today?"

"Heavenly King, this is a warning from the heavens. The luck of the Lord Zhao will decline, and the Jin people will prosper. You should let the Jin people perform hard labor to restrain their momentum. Zuo Wannian." The tall monk who had quit the Buddhist hall before knelt in front of the crowd and said.

Just now it was extremely frightening, but now it has all become flattery.

Shi Hu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and piercingly, "Great Monk, your apprentice Wu Jin is much better than you!"

The expression on Fotucheng's face was as compassionate as that of the Buddha statue behind him. He looked at the sky and sighed softly, without saying a word.

Shi Hu waved his hand, "Order Shangshu Zhang Qun to requisition another 20 men and women from various counties and [-] vehicles to transport the soil to Yedu to build Hualin Garden and Changwei!"

"Amitabha." Fotucheng clasped his hands together, turned and retreated.

None of the vicious guards around stopped him.

Shi Hu didn't take it seriously, and stared at the monk named Wu Jin with piercing eyes, "The great monk is from Kucha, but he advised me to kill less people from Jin. You are from Jin. If you can kill your own people today, you can kill me tomorrow." , You can’t stay here, come here, drag it down, and you will be punished with great punishment!”

Wu Jin immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to speak a word.

The so-called punishments of Dabi include cooking in a wok, threatening, splitting, beheading, and beheading at the waist.

Shi Hu is violent by nature, especially fond of torture.

Another huge bolt of lightning strikes in the clouds, tearing apart the dark sky.

boom -

It seems that the whole sky is roaring, and the rain is pouring down...
