The smoke and dust subsided slightly, and Zhe Xiu's figure appeared in front of Xiao Zhang.
He was wearing a single shirt, and the cuffs and trouser legs were cut very short, which couldn't cover the hairs sticking out like iron thorns.
Ten extremely sharp but tough claws protruded from the front of his hands, and the cold light overflowed, making people shudder to watch.
What is even more frightening is that his face is also covered with hair, his teeth have become extremely sharp, and his pupils are full of crazy scarlet.
Seeing this scene, the crowd erupted into horrified shouts, and retreated desperately like a tide.
Zhexiu didn't pay attention to these things at all, just staring at the Taoist priests in Tsing Yi.
These Tsing Yi Taoists are very powerful, but what is even more frightening is that they are very dangerous.
Being strong does not necessarily mean danger, and no one understands this truth better than Zhe Xiu.
So he went berserk immediately without hesitation, using his strongest state to face the enemy.
…
…
Several dao swords buzzed and trembled at a very high frequency in the morning light.
Several Taoists in Tsing Yi looked at Zhe Xiu, frowned slightly, did not speak, and did not attack.
Although Zhexiu had lived and fought in the snowfields of northern Xinjiang since he was a child, he had always had a great reputation in the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Taoists in Tsing Yi only took one look and recognized this strong young man from the wolf tribe.
Wufu Zhexiu, the most dangerous one among the younger generation of cultivators.
This is a recognized fact, although in these years, he has not shown his frightening experience and perseverance in combat for a long time.
If Zhexiu insisted on protecting Xiao Zhang, today would inevitably be a bitter battle, and it might even be a bloody battle.
But Taoists in Tsing Yi were just vigilant, not afraid.
They judged calmly that Zhexiu could not change the final outcome, and Xiao Zhang would definitely die.
The reason why they stopped was not because Zhexiu suddenly appeared, but because they knew where Zhexiu went after leaving the snowfield and who he was with all the time.
Sure enough, at the next moment, the crowd below the stone steps receded towards both sides like a tide.
Chen Changsheng walked up the stone steps.
The entire Fengyang County became extremely quiet, completely silent.
No one here knew Chen Changsheng, but the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all believers in the state religion, so who would not know the magic staff in his hand
Who in the entire continent is qualified to hold this magic scepter
Someone finally woke up and let out an exclamation, so the whole Fengyang County woke up.
Still like the tide, countless people knelt on the ground and bowed down to Chen Changsheng. Countless pious and awe-inspiring voices came together like thunder.
"Meet Your Majesty the Pope."
Chen Changsheng came to Zhe Xiu, turned around and looked at the Taoists in Tsing Yi.
Those Taoists in Tsing Yi bowed down to Chen Changsheng with a respectful expression, and there was no sign of reluctance.
Chen Changsheng nodded.
The officials present and those court masters from the Ministry of Punishment also knelt down.
Chen Changsheng looked at Xiao Zhang, looked at the worn white paper on his face, and thought of the scene when he first met in Xunyang City, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Until now, he hadn't even glanced at the magistrate.
The magistrate's expression changed for a moment, but he finally lifted his official clothes and knelt down.
Xiao Zhang didn't kneel down because he didn't have the strength. Of course, even if he still had a lot of strength, he wouldn't kneel down to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng has been Pope for three years, especially in the recent period, with his reappearance and the matter of Zhu Shadan, his reputation in the mainland is getting higher and higher.
In Xiao Zhang's eyes, he is still the boy in Xunyang City who has good talent and tough temper, but is as boring as Wang Po.
In short, in his opinion, Chen Changsheng is a junior, so why should he worship him
Xiao Zhang asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Just passing by."
This is naturally an excuse, and no one will believe it.
Xiao Zhang then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Changsheng said, "I want to forgive your sins."
After saying this, he raised the magic staff in his hand.
Next, Xiao Zhang only needs to kneel down, and then he taps the top of Xiao Zhang's head three times with the front end of the divine rod, and the pardon ceremony will be completed.
"Wait!" The magistrate forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, looked at Chen Changsheng and said in a trembling voice, "When will Li Palace interfere with the government?"
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and some unwritten old rules, the Li Palace is generally not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the court.
Chen Changsheng finally took a look at the magistrate, but he still didn't speak.
"According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not a crime of treason, His Majesty the Pope has the right to pardon."
Hu Thirty-two came to the arena at some time, looked at the magistrate with a blank expression and said, "Which place did you rank in the imperial examination back then, why don't you even know that?"
The magistrate's face became extremely ugly. He is familiar with laws and scriptures. He should know that His Majesty the Pope has the power of amnesty, but the previous Pope has not used it for hundreds of years. Let alone him, I am afraid that even All the princes in the court forgot about this matter.
Those words he said earlier were so sonorous and forceful, they seemed to echo at this moment.
"You kill innocent people indiscriminately, and there is no redemption for ten thousand deaths."
"So, you are heinous."
However, not long after he finished speaking, the Pope appeared in front of his eyes and said that he would forgive Xiao Zhang's sins.
This is the prerogative of the pope, whether you are not redeemed by death or heinous, if I forgive you, you will be innocent.
Tang Thirty-Six also came to the venue, pointing to the Taoists in Tsing Yi, he said: "If the state religion is not allowed to interfere with government affairs, why do these Taoist priests from Changchun Temple dare to kill people in the street? Did the magistrate send someone to arrest these Taoists first?" Take him to prison and talk about it?"
The expressions of the Taoists in Tsing Yi remained unchanged, and the face of the prefect became even uglier.
At this time, Xiao Zhang suddenly said: "I will not kneel down to you."
If he insists on refusing to kneel, how will the amnesty ceremony be completed
No one thought that the matter could be resolved immediately, and suddenly such a problem appeared.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at Xiao Zhang and was about to say a few harsh words, but was stopped by Chen Changsheng.
"I'd better stand taller."
Chen Changsheng took a few steps up and turned around.
At this time, his position was several steps higher than Xiao Zhang's, and his height was just right.
Xiao Zhang didn't need to kneel down, the magic staff he raised could land on top of his head straightly like a ruler.
Without any sound, the tip of the divine rod lightly touched the top of Xiao Zhang's head three times, and the ceremony was completed.
Xiao Zhang didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and he couldn't see what his expression was like under the white paper, surprised or angry
After a while, he touched the top of his head with his hand and said, "It's a little itchy."
