Chapter 93: Golden Evil Buddha
You Xu said embarrassedly: "This... Jiang Zhou has some special skills. Since he said so, there shouldn't be any problem. I think he has good intentions and can't bear to see his former colleague die..."
Xu Qing looked unhappy and was about to reprimand him when he saw Shenxiu's eyes light up and he clasped his hands and said:
"Great Brahma is immeasurable, and Donor Jiang has a compassionate heart and great kindness."
"Captain Xu, I also think that with me here to slay the demon, there is no need to waste lives."
"Now that Donor Jiang has this intention, why not help him?"
"You all don't know that Mr. Jiang was born with a predestined relationship with Buddha. He has blessings and virtues, and is immune to all evil. Ordinary evil grudges cannot corrupt him."
“Even if this evil Buddha is highly accomplished, I can protect him with this humble monk here.”
"this……"
Xu Qing hesitated when he heard this.
She was a person obsessed with martial arts and didn't care about any blessings at all.
The reason for the refusal was not entirely because of any evil grudge, but because of slaying demons with a knife. The Sujing Division has its own rules and regulations, which cannot be changed at will by the demon patrol guards.
But since it was Shenxiu who was speaking, the weight of the words was naturally different.
Originally, Shenxiu was needed to be in charge of slaying the demon this time, so it would be inappropriate to give him face on such a small matter.
"Well, since Master Shenxiu has spoken , I can't refuse him. In this case, let him behead me."
Xu Qing pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, raising his heroic eyebrows: "But you tell him that this demon slaying is no small matter. If something unexpected happens, even if he doesn't die from the evil erosion, according to the laws of my Sujing Division, he will be punished."
You Xu quickly smiled and said, "Of course. I will thank you, Commander-in-Chief, on behalf of Jiang Zhou."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhou, Jiang Zhou, I took a risk to help you this time. If you hold a grudge against me in the future, you will be truly ungrateful.
You Xu knew their captain very well. Although she was a woman, she was an absolute martial arts fanatic. Apart from martial arts, she only wanted to slay demons and eliminate evil.
As long as other things don't offend her, she won't care.
In addition, knowing Shenxiu's good intentions towards Jiang Zhou, he chose this time to say it.
Sure enough, the result was as he expected.
Xu Qing waved his hand, obviously not taking it to heart.
He smiled at Shenxiu and said, "Master Shenxiu, I'll trouble you to take care of me to slay the demon tomorrow."
Shenxiu clasped his hands and said, "I have no choice but to accept your request."
…
In the room, Jiang Zhou still had a smile on his face.
You Xu just had someone bring him the news that he will be beheaded tomorrow.
How powerful is a fourth-grade demon?
He had no way of imagining it.
If it weren't for Taiyi Wuyanluo, even if he was envious, he might not dare to take the risk.
A sleepless night.
On the second day, in the Sujing Division, the call for attendance was sounded and everyone returned to their seats.
In the Sword Prison Square in the valley behind the mountain, there were not only hundreds of knife-wielding men gathered.
There were also the Demon Patrol Guards, a group of captains who were rarely seen in the past, and many unfamiliar faces that Jiang Zhou had never even seen before.
There were people from all walks of life, monks, nuns, laymen, men, women, young and old.
If it weren't for today's opportunity, he wouldn't have known that there were so many people in Sujingsi.
Jin Jiu, who was standing next to him, saw him looking at those people with curiosity, and explained with a smile: "Those are people from Qianji and Wanxiang Halls. They usually stay in the mountains and will not come down easily. You haven't been here for a long time, so it's normal that you haven't seen them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the densely packed caves on the surrounding stone walls.
There are platforms in front of several caves, under which many people are sitting.
"Not only them, but people from all the counties and states are here today. Even the King of Chu and the prefect are here in person. Do you see that? Over there are people from the prefect's mansion and the King of Chu's mansion, as well as quite a few prominent families in the county."
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but wonder: "It's just killing a demon, do you need so many people to watch?"
"Just a demon?"
Jin Jiu was surprised and said, "You are so arrogant now. That is a fourth-grade demon, which is rare in the world."
"Moreover, you set up this great formation of 100 people to slay the demon today just for show, or do you have no other means to kill it? Do you have to use the life of the person holding the knife to fill the gap?"
Jiang Zhou smiled slightly: "Isn't it?"
"Maybe, but using the demon-slaying formation to execute big demons is indeed the rule of the department. This method has the lowest cost, and most importantly, it can deter demons all over the world."
Jin Jiu smiled and said, "So what if it's a fourth-grade monster? A mere ant-like mortal can kill it with a knife."
Jiang Zhou still had a smile on his face, but he did not comment.
Maybe Jin Jiu was right, but it was also true that they treated human life as worthless.
As the two were talking, Xu Qing, dressed in black armor, stood on the mountain wall with a heroic look. He loudly read out the crimes of the demon to be killed today, and then directly announced the start of the execution without any delay.
As soon as she gave the order, Jiang Zhou felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly begin to tremble slightly.
In the square, the dark red evil-suppressing stone, which was like a small mountain and was entangled with dozens of thick iron chains, slowly rose from the ground.
After a while, it was suspended in the air, dozens of feet above the ground.
A huge hole appeared at the original location.
Under the evil-suppressing stone, among dozens of iron chains, there is one that hangs straight down into it, with no bottom visible.
"The demon with the character B and the third prison!"
With a loud shout, the iron chain hanging in the hole in the ground began to rattle and shake.
On the mountain wall, under the platform in front of the grottoes, a group of dignitaries also stood up, came to the mountain wall, and stretched their heads to look around.
A fourth-grade demon is rarely seen in the world.
Normally, he would make people shudder with fear, but now he is a prisoner waiting to be executed. How can we not be curious?
Jiang Zhou was equally curious about the demon, but now he was more concerned about the evil-suppressing stone in the sky that looked like a small mountain.
On weekdays, apart from the extremely strong evil spirit, there is nothing else noteworthy about it.
But now this thing actually made him feel extremely oppressive.
It seems to be constantly emitting an invisible force, which is vast and majestic, making people's heart palpitate.
Jin Jiu beside him noticed his gaze and said with a smile: "This evil-suppressing stone should actually be called the demon-suppressing stone. It is a rare gold from outer space. It was refined by the first human emperor of Daji, Ji, who gathered 1,800 martial saints, immortals, and venerables from the three schools of military, Taoism, and Buddhism."
"The blood and energy of the military saints were poured into it, the Taoist masters used their original spirits to copy and imprint the magic symbols on the Demon Suppression Tower, and the Buddhist masters chanted scriptures for eighteen years to bless it with the power to suppress demons and transform evil spirits, and only then were eighteen pieces of Demon Suppression Stone completed."
"One will be placed in each of the thirteen states of the world to deter all the demons in the world. The other five will be in the Divine Capital of Yujing."
"One thousand eight hundred upper third rank?"
Jiang Zhou was very surprised. Are there so many top third-grade people in this world?
Jin Jiu smiled and said, "It's not what you think. That was during the time of Emperor Ji. I heard that at that time, Emperor Ji Ding Ding Ren Li swept across the eight wildernesses and dominated the six directions. Tens of thousands of immortals came to pay homage. What were a mere 1,800 upper third-grade people?"
"Although Daji is still strong today, it is hard to see the glory of the past again."
Seeing the smile on Jin Jiu's face, Jiang Zhou suddenly felt a little strange: "Where did you hear all this? When I was a knifeman, I dealt with this big stone every day. I was familiar with it in the department. I also read a lot of historical books and miscellaneous notes, but I never knew these things."
Jin Jiu was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "These are all old news, most people don't know them. I have been in the company for ten years, and although I haven't achieved much, I still know some things."
"Really?" Jiang Zhou expressed his doubt.
At this moment, there was a sudden light in front of my eyes, and my vision was filled with golden light.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but squint and look forward.
The iron chain actually dragged out a huge golden Buddha from the hole!
It is about three meters high and shines with golden light all over, as if it were made of gold.
The golden Buddha was tightly entangled in iron chains, sitting upright in the void.
He has kind eyes, a smiling face, and a circle of golden light behind his head.
The only thing on his face was his mouth, which was smiling too exaggeratedly.
The full and thick lips were like a long W shape, with the corners of the mouth almost reaching below the ears.
It exudes a strong evil nature.
If not for this, this golden Buddha would be almost identical to the legendary Buddha.
This strange golden Buddha was motionless. I wonder if it was like this naturally or if it was suppressed...
