832, Bloody Peach Blossom (2/2)
The smile on Princess Amoji's face suddenly disappeared.
She turned her head and looked at her side with an expressionless expression - the smile on her brother Beisazhen Dorje's face was stagnant. Facing her gaze, Beisazhen Dorje's fairer face suddenly became pale. flushed.
Zhen Dorje looked at the crowd of slaves and subjects kneeling by the road, with anger on his face.
He had obviously given an order to the steward, telling these slaves and civilians to clean up, dress up better, and behave more respectfully today, so as to seriously welcome the arrival of his sister, the current Princess Amoji!
How come these people are still like this? !
How dare they neglect their orders? !
Zhen Dorje stared closely at those slaves and subjects.
The nobles who had been chatting and laughing just now all looked at each other in confusion.
They all sensed the strangeness of the current atmosphere and fell silent one by one.
The princess suppressed the anger in her heart - she saw the look on her brother's face and realized that it was not her brother who was being ignored by these people now, and the reason was not his fault - she stepped forward.
Passing through the slaves kneeling on both sides of the mountain path, not daring to raise their heads.
Although the slaves had huddled up and only occupied a very small space on both sides of the mountain road, the road dug halfway up Shengong Mountain was not wide enough, which resulted in the stench on the slaves and civilians. Wave after wave of water rushed to Princess Amoji without any obstruction or offset, and kept pouring into her nostrils.
Fortunately, she didn't walk in the crowd for too long.
After only walking about ten steps, we reached the end of the mountain path——
Ahead, there is still a mountain wall that has not yet been excavated.
According to this progress, she wants to put a peach blossom garland on Shengong Mountain this year, and she wants to swim in the sea of peach blossoms with King Zanpu - this is simply impossible to accomplish, it is just a luxury wish!
Princess Amoji could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She suddenly turned around, her beautiful face became extremely ferocious because of the sinister expression, and she no longer had any sense of beauty: "You pig-like people, how dare you So disrespectful to me——
When I met a noble person, I was wearing such dirty clothes, smelling all over my body, and greeted me in such a shabby manner——
You disrespectful people, do you still have respect for Zamp in your hearts?
Are you still in awe of the royal family? ! "
Under Princess Amoji's harsh words and scoldings, many slaves lay on the ground, their bodies shaking like chaff!
Some people kept their bodies low, fearing that the princess would notice them!
They have paid all the respect they can to the royal family, but this kind of disaster has never been caused by them.
Qu Li Guang Hai Zang knelt in the crowd. After listening to Princess Amoji's reprimand, he was silent for a while, looked at the earth and rocks on the ground, and suddenly kowtowed and said: "Mo Meng! Our respect for you is like our respect for the snow-capped mountains. The respect remains the same and has never changed in the slightest.
Your name of mercy spreads far and wide. Are you willing to listen to our explanation? "
"The explanation given by the disrespectful person is nothing more than a clever tongue to avoid punishment!
But to prove my mercy, I give you a chance to speak! "Princess Amoji couldn't get rid of her anger. She stared at the old man with gray beard and hair - Quli Guanghai Zang. She was slightly surprised that this commoner or slave could even say a few polite words, so she gave him Give the other party a chance to speak.
Qu Li Guanghai crouched low and said: "Thank you for your kindness.
We also know that any explanation below will not be able to calm the anger in your heart, but - we have never received any notification of your arrival at Shengong Mountain, so we are not prepared at all now, which makes you feel neglected!
What I say now is indeed true, just like the shaft of a spear! "
After he spoke, Princess Amoji of Momeng Zampu had a cold face and said nothing. She just turned around and looked at her brother Besazhen Dorje.
Bei Sazhen Dorje's face turned redder, and he shouted in a low voice: "Zan Duo, Zan Duo!"
The leader of the overseer who was called by his name crawled to his feet and knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to look at him.
Zhen Dorje turned around and called a red monk to his side, and said again: "You come and watch him for me. If he lies even half a sentence, you have to tell me immediately!"
The red monk nodded slightly.
The leader of the supervisor, 'Zanduo', looked gloomy, lying on the ground as if his muscles and bones had been taken away, unable to hold himself up anymore.
“Let me ask you, Zando.
I previously sent a message to 'Master Pulu', asking him to send an order to you, asking slaves and civilians to wash themselves well, change into clean clothes, and welcome the arrival of my sister, Princess Amoji, today!
Chief Pulu, have you sent a message? "Zhen Dorje stared at Zang Duo closely.
With the red monk watching quietly, Zando didn't dare to lie!
He burst into tears and said: "Master Pulu has sent us a message, what a true Master Dorje!
But these slaves, they don’t listen!
They have no respect for the princess at all——"
"He is lying." The red monk who was watching quietly said suddenly before Zando could finish his words, "He did not send the message to the slave."
Zando suddenly collapsed to the ground!
As soon as Zhen Dorje stretched out his hand, a servant next to him handed him a whip.
The whip rope covered with iron thorns was held in his hand, and he slapped Zando on his head and face!
He whipped Zando several times, until his skin was torn and his body was dripping with blood!
"Tell the truth! Tell the truth!" Zhen Dorje said so.
Blood bubbles appeared in Zando's mouth, and he said weakly: "That day, that day I drank, Master Zhen Dorje, I delayed your important matter——"
The matter was clear at this point.
Zhen Dorje turned and knelt down to the princess: "Momeng!
I didn't use people properly, please punish me!"
"It's not my brother's fault, why should I punish my brother?
The supervisors are incompetent, but they are slaves like pigs and dogs. Do they need my brother to bear the punishment for them?" Princess Amoji helped Zhen Dorje up, glanced at Zando who was lying on the ground with feces and urine flowing, and said softly, "Cut off the heads of all the supervisors, make lanterns, and hang them on the peach trees at the foot of the mountain."
The voice fell.
The princess and Zhen Dorje walked side by side, and the nobles gathered around them, and slowly went down the mountain again.
Not long after.
Their laughter was heard again on the steps.
Several overseers were dragged to the side of the mountain by tall soldiers. The broad Tibetan knives slashed across their necks, and dark red blood spurted out.
Their headless bodies were carried down the mountain.
The soldiers carried their heads away.
Slaves and civilians knelt on both sides of the mountain road, trembling with fear and still in shock.
More people raised their heads cautiously and cast their eyes on the wooden-looking ‘Qu Li Guang Hai Zang’.
The sound of people moving their bodies gradually sounded.
After a while, everyone suddenly lowered their heads and prostrated themselves on the ground.
The red-robed monk who had just confirmed that what the overseer leader Zando said was fake, now walked to the halfway point of the mountain. He walked all the way to Qu Li Guang Hai Zang, and the hem of his red monk robe swayed in front of Qu Li Guang Hai Zang.
"Master Zhen Duojie ordered me to pass on a message - if you can't clear the flat land on the hillside of Shengong Mountain within 30 days, three out of ten people will be beheaded and five will have their little fingers cut off." The red-robed monk looked at the crowd calmly, turned around and floated away.
The crowd fell into silence.
In the silence, the sky darkened.
It was dark.
"You offended the noble today.
No food today." Another soldier walked to the hillside and spoke to the slaves.
The cold voice broke the silence.
A few howls sounded in the darkness.
More and more cries and shouts sounded on the hillside!
Like the roar of gods and ghosts!
"They didn't even give us a spoonful of tsampa!
I have no strength left, and I have to cut such hard rocks tomorrow!"
"Why?
We did nothing wrong, but we are being punished?"
"It was impossible to cut a flat land in 30 days - my wife and my mother are waiting for me at home, but I can't go back, I can't go back!"
"Five out of ten people will have their little fingers cut off, and three will be killed. There are hundreds of us here, but more than half will be killed or injured, and only a few dozen will go back!"
"Ah--"
The darkness is boiling!
Many slaves and subjects groped in the darkness and gathered around 'Qu Li Guang Hai Zang'.
They saw what Qu Li Guang Hai Zang had done before, and he had always been quite prestigious in the mountain-cutting team. So, at this juncture, many people regarded him as their backbone!
"What do you think we should do?"
"We are willing to listen to you. We heard that you once practiced under Yuanmo Sect. Please show us the way forward!"
The fire in people's eyes seemed to illuminate the darkness.
In the darkness, Qu Liguang Haizang stood up. He looked calm. Although he was already in his twilight years, he exuded a strong spirit: "We have offended Zhen Dorje. Zhen Dorje and Princess Amoji are the closest siblings.
If we offend him, we have offended even Mo Meng.
At this point, after waiting for thirty days, most of us will be killed or injured.
After thirty days, if the work is not completed, the living people will still have to stay here to cut the mountainside, suffer, be tortured, and wait for death!
Since there will be no good end in the future, why don't we take action first!"
Qu Liguang Haizang's voice was like a huge rock smashing into a quiet lake, instantly stirring up layers of waves.
People were shocked by his words!
Some people looked timid;
Some people were hesitant;
Some people were eager to try;
Some people raised their arms to respond!
Amidst the responses, someone said timidly: "If we do this, aren't we rebelling?
How can we possibly defeat such a vicious Tubo army?"
Qu Li Guang Hai Zang pointed to the mountain wall with chisel marks on the side and asked in a deep voice: "Is it harder to cut the neck than to cut the mountainside?
Can we still survive if we turn back?!"
"If this goes on, there is no way to survive!"
"The only thing we can do is to fight hard!"
"Let the blood flowing from the nobles' necks dye the peach blossoms of Shen Gong Mountain red!"
Amid the roaring howls, Qu Li Guang Hai Zang pinched the lantern seal with his hands, and a blazing fire suddenly appeared above his head!
He lit up the firewood one by one and handed it to everyone.
A ball of fire became a fire dragon!
Spreading down the mountain!
Qu Li Guang Hai Zang looked up at the sky that was illuminated by the fire, and his mind was touched at this moment.
——'Under the hill' has appeared.
The thirteenth Dharma transmission of the master was held at 'under the hill'.
"Lokshe..." Qu Li Guang Shan Zang murmured in the boiling roar.
