This Taoist priest invited everyone to eat pears, which seemed to be grown by his own magic, but in fact he just used a trick to retaliate against the stinginess of the hawker by giving the pears that the hawker wanted to sell to everyone.
The people around him are all mortals with naked eyes. Even if they have some cultivation, they are not as high as the Taoist priest and cannot be seen.
But who are these people Zhong Yu? The strong Zhong Yu has a seventh-level cultivation level, and people like Gai Nie also have a sixth-level cultivation. Even the weakest followers around them have a fifth-level cultivation. How can they not see through this little trick? .
Such a small trick has caused dissatisfaction among Zhongyu, Donghuang Taiyi, Gai Nie and others.
Originally, he was pestering and aggressive, causing a noise in the busy city and disrupting the order of the surroundings. He had violated the laws of the empire and should be punished.
However, the Taoist priest Nian Na had some cultivation, and the vendor was really stingy, so a little punishment would be fine. Zhong Yu came out to play this time, so he had no intention of taking any action. He planned to take a look and leave.
But now the Taoist priest openly takes action in public, using Taoist methods to seize other people's money and confuse passers-by. The crime is much heavier than disturbing the order of the street. It is a serious crime that requires beheading, spitting blood, and hanging at the market entrance for several days.
In order to stabilize the order of the empire, Zhong Yu had issued several orders long ago, prohibiting any cultivators from exerting their power in the city, and violators would be severely punished.
This order, after being emphasized several times, has long been implemented across the country, and a large number of law enforcement teams have been arranged to patrol, intending to use strong methods to force those lawless practitioners to comply.
As the imperial capital, Jiangdu City has much stronger enforcement. In the past few months, countless troops patrolled the city and arrested countless people who dared to use force to violate the prohibition. There are still dozens of corpses of criminals who resisted and were beheaded on the spot hanging in Caishikou.
Now, after some rectification, order has been slightly restored, fewer people dare to act recklessly, and patrols have been relaxed a little.
There is actually this Taoist priest who dares to openly use Taoism to seize other people's property in a busy city. He simply regards the laws and intimidation of the empire as nothing, and despises the majesty of the empire.
How could Zhong Yu not be angered by such a bold move? It was ignoring what he had said before and provoking his authority.
"What a daring Taoist priest, he dared to perform demonic magic in the bustling city. Did he forget the thousands of demons who were executed before?" Zhong Yu shouted, suddenly waking up the pedestrians around him who were confused by the blindfold.
When the people around heard Zhong Yu's sharp shout, a chill came out of their minds, and their thoughts suddenly sobered up.
At this time, I turned around and saw that there were no pear trees in front of me. There was only a long erected pole, and on the pole were two pear baskets. At this time, the pear baskets that were originally full of snow pears had been removed by everyone. He took it away and ate it, but found nothing.
No one knows now that what the Taoist priest just gave them to eat was the snow pears selected by the vendor in front of them for sale.
The vendor turned around and quickly looked at his car, only to find that the few baskets of pears he had picked up from the car were gone. Even the handlebar of his car was broken, and the crack was newly cut off.
He didn't know that he was being teased by the Taoist priest, so he was so angry that he rushed over to hold him back and demanded compensation.
The Taoist priest was pestered by the hawker, but he just sneered to himself and ignored it. Instead, he stared at the source of the sound, looked at Zhong Yu and others, and said, "What a bold man, he dares to talk about my business, Taoist Master, and he lives impatiently." ?"
"Now, you still dare to be so rampant, do you really think that the laws of our empire are not there? Not long ago, His Majesty the Emperor issued repeated orders, strictly ordering practitioners to perform evil arts in the city, and violators will be executed. Now, just a few months have passed, Caishikou There are dozens of corpses of demons hanging on it, and you, a Taoist priest, dare to practice demons openly, disturb the order of the streets, and seize other people's property. You deserve death," Zhong Yu reprimanded.
"He is nothing more than a rebel. He not only steals the throne, but also dares to do the opposite and openly oppresses moral masters like us. He has aroused public anger and is not far from defeat." The Taoist priest was not weak in his words and took the initiative to fight back.
When the pedestrians around heard the Taoist priest's wild words, which were extremely treasonous, their expressions suddenly changed with fright, and they quickly retreated away from the place. Even the vendor who was concerned about his property did not dare to stay longer. He quickly let go of the Taoist priest's hand and retreated.
This is the capital of the Imperial Kingdom at the feet of the Emperor. It can be said that the reverence of the people in the city for the imperial power far exceeds that of people everywhere. Moreover, his sense of honor as a citizen of the imperial capital is also increasing day by day, and he gradually has a sense of superiority compared to people from other places.
Now that they heard that this Taoist priest was almost saying that he wanted to rebel, everyone was frightened. Especially those who ate snow pears were afraid that if they were implicated, they would also be arrested by the government and punished for the crime of involvement.
"What a arrogant and ignorant person. He dares to say such nonsense even in the imperial capital. He really has evil intentions and his rebellious intentions are obvious." After a few laughs, Zhong Yu was also angered by the arrogance of this Taoist priest. .
Although Zhong Yu had known for a long time that because of his identity as a rebel, he was not recognized by wealthy families and sects everywhere. Except for a few forces who want to gain a chance to get ahead, there are few big families and sects that have truly inherited the tradition for thousands of years.
In addition, the officials sent by Zhong Yu severely cracked down on local annexations and punished many evil gentry and bad people. This seriously offended the interests of the grassroots in these places and made them even more dissatisfied.
Now there are regulations prohibiting the use of extraordinary power in the city, which has offended the famous sects who control high-end power and caused their dissatisfaction.
From ancient times to the present, these powerful sect disciples have always relied on their extraordinary strength and the support of powerful sects to act according to their own preferences without regard to the laws of local officials and secular dynasties.
What's more, they even take the initiative to attack court officials, which is almost the same as rebellion and is one of the sources of trouble everywhere.
From the bold behavior of the Taoist priest in front of him, we can see the lack of scruples of these sect disciples and Buddhist Taoists.
"It seems that the imperial court has been too lax in controlling people like you from outside the country. It should be severely punished and a group of rebellious people like you should be dealt with. Only then can the world become more peaceful and less turbulent. ." Anger arose in Zhong Yu's heart, and he had already made up his mind to punish these outsiders.
In the past, because of the fear of the powerful power controlled by those sects, I did not dare to take the initiative, for fear of causing their dissatisfaction and setting off a rebellion within the empire.
After all, most of those sects have a sixth-level strongman in charge, and there are even many seventh-level ones, so they are not that easy to deal with.
