Doomsday Catastrophe

When everyone asked Elder Zhizhen what this was for, Elder Zhizhen just smiled wryly, and then said: "I walked in poverty, witnessed economic growth, and witnessed material desires, and these are all kinds of things in the world. But I never thought that the world would become what it is now, and that’s all when the apocalypse comes. But in horizontal comparison, Rongcheng can have a stable life. Although it’s tiring, it’s not miserable. In the hands of a young man, but the stability is unbearable. On the other hand, wine city is already in such a sad situation, the city lord is incompetent, he leads beasts to eat people, and the cult is rampant, how can I see it?"

When the elder Zhizhen said what was in his heart, everyone nodded, and they also felt that it was no problem to start resisting at this time. After two years of patience, it is really impossible to live now. If you resist, how long will you have to wait?

However, at this moment, a pilgrim hesitated for a while, and then said: "But, I heard that after this matter is over, Xue Ba will give us land. If Xue Ba is overthrown, the land will not Is it not in our hands?"

After hearing what this person said, Elder Zhizhen immediately cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still a human being? There is no problem with dividing the land, but you pin your hopes on collecting people's fat and people's anointing in a weekday This guy is simply a fool, do you think you have the ability to let Xue Ba divide the land? Just rely on the few words he said this time with empty teeth?"

Elder Zhizhen is really angry now, mourning his misfortune, angering him, and believing in the words of a demon. Can it be regarded as not seeing what these two demons did before? This is obviously a matter of seeking skin from a tiger, but in the end some people really believed it, and were really blinded by the current interests. Don't these people know that Xue Ba may go back on his word at any time after he has mastered the power?

Elder Zhizhen got angry now, and the guy who was asking the question just now immediately said: "I know I was wrong, Elder Zhizhen, please forgive me."

And after Elder Zhizhen heard the words of apology, he also knew that the other party already knew that he was wrong, and he did not pursue it now, but said in a deep voice: "At such a critical moment, we must respond to people outside. Flyers, but it's better than doing nothing."

Everyone nodded quickly, and then chose to leave, preparing to distribute leaflets all over the city. This is the only thing they can do now.

After everyone left, Elder Zhizhen sat silently in the Buddhist hall, looking at the empty area above the altar, he seemed to understand something, and he seemed to be a lot more confused. After worshiping the Buddha all his life, he suddenly found that the Buddha was no longer there. So, what should I pay homage to next? However, although the Buddha has disappeared, all the Buddhist principles learned in the past came to my mind in an instant, and it seemed that I had a clear understanding in an instant.

"What is a Buddha? I am a Buddha. The so-called understanding of meditation, the principles I understand are all my own. The Buddha has no appearance, so it is not in the golden body, nor in the woodcarving, nor in the clay sculpture. The Buddha is in the heart, since it is in the heart If you understand all the principles, then I am a Buddha!" ​​At this time, Elder Zhizhen suddenly understood a lot.

"I have a bright pearl, which has been locked away in the dust for a long time. Today, the dust is gone and the light is born, shining through thousands of mountains and rivers."

At this time, Elder Zhizhen finally realized what he had learned for fifty years. He understood what a Buddha is. The situation is called entering the Tao, and it is a state that practitioners of the Tao can encounter but cannot seek.

After going out, everyone will disperse and post and distribute leaflets in the city. It is late at night, and there must be someone patrolling during normal hours. In jail, or after being drained of money and eventually being released.

But now it is still snowing heavily. In such weather, beggars on the streets are looking for places to hide, and there are even fewer patrolling soldiers. Now is the most appropriate time to post leaflets. will be found out.

Among the dozen or so pilgrims, not all of them believed the words of Elder Zhizhen, and one of them, who had questioned Elder Zhizhen, had a twisted mind at this moment.

This person is called Shi Jiwen, and his brain is not very good. At this moment, he still believes what he heard during the day, that is, after this matter is over, the city lord Xue Ba will distribute the land to everyone, so amazing The news appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it immediately.

"No, the old monk must be lying to me. I can tell from his tone that he is connected with those people outside the city, so after the wine city is occupied, he will be able to rise to the top, but we people There will be nothing left, no way, for the sake of the future possible property, we must prevent this from happening." Shi Jiwen thought silently in his heart.

An old saying once said that profit is blinding one's heart, and a person who is considered to be honest may actually change his whole mentality when faced with huge profits.

But now at this time, as the ancients said, people who are blinded by interests will do things unbelievable. Shi Jiwen stuffed the leaflet in his hand into his clothes, and then went to find someone , when he found the soldiers in the city, he immediately started shouting: "I want to report that someone in the city is plotting rebellion."

After the soldier heard the news, he didn't dare to be negligent at all, and then he reported the news, and Shi Jiwen finally showed a smile on his face, because he knew that the property he might get in the future would be preserved. Maybe I can join the city lord's command.

…………

Overnight, Xu Xing, Lin Yue, and Li Yiqiang were all discussing countermeasures in a dilapidated room outside the city. Because the language offensive did not have a good effect during the day, the three of them were also thinking at this time. Is it necessary to find a way to expand the advantages of publicity?

However, when it was daytime, someone suddenly came to report, "Master Xingxian, there are more than a dozen corpses hanging on the tower, go and have a look."

After Xu Xing heard the news, she hurried out to watch. The snow had stopped, the ground was covered with snow, the sky was gloomy, and the surrounding light was not very good, but Xu Xing's physical fitness was always on the line. Here, standing hundreds of meters away and looking at the city tower, I can see clearly a group of people hanging on wooden poles on the city tower in an instant.

When Xu Xing saw the corpse on the wooden pole, he immediately froze in place. He didn't know many people in Wine City, that is, two people, one of whom was the uncle who took him in, and the other was It was the old monk who gave advice to himself before, but now, the elder Zhizhen is hung on the wooden pole at this time, and the whole person is already ashen, and the bald head of the elder Zhizhen is the most conspicuous, from their stiff body Judging from it, he must have been dead for a long time.

"Elder Zhizhen had a knife wound on his body, most likely he was killed, but I don't know how Elder Zhizhen exposed it." Standing beside Xu Xing, Lin Yue said.

Li Yiqiang didn't have such good eyesight, and he couldn't see clearly even after using a telescope.

Xu Xing was already angry after seeing this scene. Although she once pushed down the Buddha statue in the temple, the Elder Zhizhen gave her advice later regardless of the previous suspicions, and he was able to admit her mistake at the beginning. Well, Elder Zhizhen is definitely a good person, but it is a pity that a good person has no rewards, and now he has been killed, and there will be no peace after death, and he was hanged on a wooden pole for public display.

At this time, someone moved out a huge stereo on the city wall, and then began to shout, "Listen, people outside, these guys on the wooden pole who intend to rebel are your role models, get out of here early, otherwise, wait until In the future, we will also chop off your heads, feed the corpses to the dogs, and use the heads to play football."

There was no chaos in the city, and the civilians were already fascinated by the promises made by Xue Ba and Dong Chao. The cult created by Dong Chao also played a huge role at this time. This kind of propaganda, saying that as long as the refugees from outside rush in, they will kill everyone. In this case, people who don't know the truth can only fight to survive. The elder has also been killed now, and the residents of the city no longer know anything.

At this time, Xu Xing took a deep breath. She knew that her behavior of pushing down the Buddha statue was wrong. After all, it was the god that the old monk believed in for decades, but she was pushed down by herself in anger. Now Xu Xing understands Mistake, I wanted to apologize but there was no chance.

"Lin Yue, order me to go down and prepare to attack the city. I will walk in the front." Xu Xing said gloomyly, his eyes were already full of anger.

After seeing Xu Xing's gloomy expression, Lin Yue persuaded, "Anger will blind your eyes. Now is not the right time to do it. At least we have to wait until the snow melts, right?"

The south is no better than the north. After it snows in the north, the snow will melt slowly due to the temperature, while the temperature in the south is higher than that in the north. Even if there is heavy snow, as long as the weather is fine, it will take three or four days. It melted away, and at this moment, Lin Yue just hoped that Xu Xing could calm down and wait for the right opportunity to attack.

However, Xu Xing turned her head to stare at Lin Yue and said, "This is the time now, and I have the final say on everything. I am in charge of this matter, and you are just the examiner."

Lin Yue didn't know what to say at this time. When he said he was an examiner, Xu Xing kept asking him to help, but now at this time, he wanted to help, but Xu Xing refused him instead, and instead let him Leave it alone.

"All right, all right, I'm the examiner, I don't care about you, Li Yiqiang, let the people under him smear red mud on their foreheads, prepare to attack the city, and eat breakfast after entering the city." Lin Yue finally He could only agree with Xu Xing's decision.

In order to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, Lin Yue decided to follow the practice of people in the past, that is, to use red mud to paint his forehead red. In the southwest region, most of the land is red, so the pigment can be seen everywhere.

In ancient times, a peasant army invaded Chang'an, and one of the troops was called red eyebrows, which used soil and other pigments to smear the eyebrows and other areas red, and this is also the best way to distinguish between the enemy and us. .

In the Central Plains, it is generally yellow soil, while in the southern region, it is dominated by red soil, and in the Northeast, if it is divided according to color, there is also black soil.

Xu Xing silently waited for everyone to smear their foreheads. Looking at the city wall in the distance, she was already full of anger. At this moment, there was only one thing he wanted to do, and that was to kill people, to kill all the perpetrators.

"Are you finished applying it?" Xu Xing couldn't help urging, now Xu Xing couldn't hold back anymore.

Li Yiqiang quickly said: "After waiting for half an hour, the order has been handed down, but these people are basically disaster victims, and it is very difficult to organize. Half an hour is enough."

"Then let them smear it slowly. Those who have already smeared, follow me!" Xu Xing said this, and then rushed out directly. In an instant, Xu Xing had already rushed a long distance. Gritting his teeth, he shouted behind him: "Brothers, follow Xingxian."
