MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 51 Ziwei falls

The cardinal walked up to the collapsed man and knelt down, his boots stepped on the ominous blood, and the hem of his white cloak was also stained red.

The man's hair was roughly pulled up by the cardinal, and his head was forced to face the cardinal with such strength.

Cardinal: "What did you say?"

"Don't...don't kill...me..." The man seemed to be holding his last breath, begging humblely and pitifully.

The cardinal barely understood, he sneered, and said loudly to the noisy people: "Everyone, this person actually asked me not to kill him."

"It's not up to me whether to kill you or not. In the past, a sinner like you would have been burned at the stake..." The cardinal turned to him and said, "I don't want to make so much effort today. Come on, let's go to the water erosion."

Hearing what the cardinal said, Yang Dejin couldn't help grabbing Xie Zhi's arm, stood on tiptoe and looked towards the high platform.

What's the new trick this time?

Xie Zhi was a few centimeters shorter than her, so he couldn't see the front row, he just kept looking around. Yang Dejin hugged his arm, afraid that she might not be able to stand still, so Xie Zhi raised his arm to support her slightly.

It always feels like being picked up by some large long-haired animal.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhi suddenly felt a little funny.

Pei Yu glanced at the side strangely: What about them?

The cardinal ordered the execution, but no one brought any more torture tools. The dying man was carried down. Two congregants led him out from behind the high platform and dragged him to the collapsed east wall.

The eyes of the crowd followed their steps.

Yang Dejin couldn't help wondering: there should be a pond over there, right?

I don't know why it is covered with a cloth, is it to prevent dust from falling?

The cardinal's voice answered Yang Dejin's confusion: "This is a miracle left by the previous Dacheng Pope. Innocent people enter it as if walking on the ground, while guilty people will be swallowed and difficult to escape. The flesh and blood of the pond will gradually be corroded and dissolved, and become a part of the pond, so it has the name of water erosion."

When the believers around heard this, they all reacted with insight. Even Yang Dejin and Pei Yu couldn't believe it, but Xie Zhi didn't show any expression.

If there is such a miracle as water erosion in this dilapidated place, the Wuming Temple would not have been abandoned for so long, and its incense must have been continuous.

Anyway, she doesn't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, that every cause has its fruit, and she wants to see what the Dacheng Sect is capable of. If she really dares to lynch at the feet of the emperor, then she, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, is not worthless.

Xiaoxiao, who only dares to play tricks, is nothing to be afraid of.

As if to verify the credibility of his words, the cardinal kicked away the stones that were holding down the corners, and lifted the cover.

The surface of the water was not turbulent, and it was difficult to reflect the light of the fire in the yard.

The cardinal raised his foot and stepped on it vigorously, splashing a little water, as if he was stepping on flat ground, the strength and movement were not fake.

He literally stomped on the water.

The light was too dim, and Yang Dejin was almost looking around with squinted eyes, and then she saw a scene that shocked everyone.

The cardinal waved his hand, and the two attendants threw the man who had just been lifted off the platform directly in the middle of the pond.

I don't know if the divine soup just burned too much, the man remained motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.

There seemed to be some living thing hidden under the pond, and everyone could see that his body was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's as if... as if it's really being swallowed slowly by something.

"He's sinking!"

"The cardinal did not lie to us."

"This miracle really has the ability to punish evil and eliminate evil. It's really... amazing!"

"Only one leg left..."

"Being turned into bone water is what he deserved..."

Xie Zhi frowned, it was the first time she had seen such a treacherous scene, and she couldn't figure out the joint.

How did Dachengjiao do it?

Pei Yu's face was also very ugly. He didn't expect to see someone die in front of his eyes just after breaking into the Dacheng Sect today.

Although Yang Dejin couldn't figure it out, she couldn't just watch this cult go amok, so she was going to take out the tweet immediately.

Seeing her movements, Xie Zhi immediately held her down: "What are you doing?"

"Zhaofu soldiers, seized this ghost place."

Xie Zhi: "No, don't act rashly."

Yang Dejin: "Why? Everyone is here, wouldn't it be a good time to attack at this time?"

Xie Zhi took advantage of the fact that all the people's attention was on the other side of the pond, and led them away, hiding in the shadow of a big tree. Pei Yu didn't know why, so he followed.

"The surroundings of Wuming Temple are dilapidated and inaccessible, and it's on the outskirts of the imperial city. This is just their temporary stronghold. The real headquarters must be in a more secluded place."

After hearing this, Pei Yu also said: "It is true. There is no trace of anyone's life in the Wuming Temple, and those congregants do not eat and sleep here. It is sealed off, and nothing can be found."

Xie Zhi nodded and added: "And who said that everyone is here? There are only new Christians here. The high priest, Pope and other believers mentioned by Director Shi of the Ministry of Industry have not come out yet."

Only then did Yang Dejin realize: "Then what should I do?"

Pei Yu also looked at Xie Zhi, he came to investigate the case alone, without any subordinates, he wanted to know what the judge who had insight into the details would do.

"Stand still and let your hidden guards keep an eye on these believers to see where they go after the rally."

Yang Dejin: "My hidden guards don't have that many people..."

There are at least thirty or forty believers here, and if everyone wants to be stared at to death, it is impossible to do everything at once.

"It doesn't matter, just pick some people and keep an eye on them. They all come from the city. I just need to know where they live. Knowing the specific address, I can know their identity."

Yang Dejin had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

Pei Yu: "What can I do?"

Xie Zhi glanced at him: "Not yet, protect Your Highness first."

Pei Yu: ...

All right, become a bodyguard.

"He has been dissolved by water erosion, and there is no possibility of returning to heaven." The cardinal said lightly, looking at the calm water.

He turned his head to face many believers, and a mysterious and dark light escaped from the pores of the mask, making many people who looked at him shudder.

"Everyone, don't violate Dacheng's creed, you have all seen the end." The cardinal paused as he spoke, and walked back instead of caring about the pond, "Then read the latest oracle received by the High Priest. "

The three people in the corner looked at each other and moved closer to the front row.

I don't know what kind of moths these magic sticks are going to make.

The entourage brought up a piece of cloth, and the cardinal took it and unfolded it, saying: "The demon queen is in chaos, the queen is incompetent, Ziwei star is about to fall."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil, causing an uproar among many believers.

"What...?! How could this happen?!"

"The empress really...wouldn't the world be in chaos?!"

"The oracle is really right??!"

Yang Dejin didn't quite understand, she tugged at Xie Zhi's sleeve in a daze and asked, "Master Xie, what does the death of Ziwei star mean?"

Xie Zhi frowned and looked at Yang Dejin.

Pei Yu also looked solemn, and interjected: "Ziwei star has fallen, and the world has changed hands."

Even Yang Dejin was stunned now.

The world changed hands? The plum rewarded her...

Yang Dejin murmured: "Bai Qingyang..."

Is she about to seize power? Will Li Zishou be killed by Bai Qingyang?

When Xie Zhi heard her whisper, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Speaking of the announcement of the world's change of master, Yang Dejin's first reaction was to mention Bai Qingyang.

Why?

Xie Zhi looked at Yang Dejin with deep and unpredictable eyes.

Before the three of them figured out why, some believers couldn't bear to ask questions.

"Master Cardinal, did the oracle say who will become Dasheng's new ruler?"

Others were also clamoring. The news came too suddenly. Most of them were related to the court, so it was natural to panic.

"Ziwei Xing has fallen, so Dashengchao will no longer be surnamed Li?"

"Is it Renxian, or is someone planning to rebel?"

"You can't say that! What's going on?"

"Master Cardinal, what is going on?!"

The cardinal raised his hand: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the high priest knows everything, and he has already predicted the great prosperity of the country."

The people below all listened with bated breath.

"The female emperor loses power, and the orthodox will be established. The thirteenth son of Emperor Lie, the current prince Yu, will be the new master of Dasheng."

"Thirteen Lang?!"

"Prince Yu..."

"...Is he ready to tear himself apart with the empress?"

"I just hope that the people will not suffer."

Yang Dejin:?

? ? ?

Isn't that what it says in the original book? !

Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately!

She is a book traveler, no matter how hard she thinks about it, she can't compete with the daughter of destiny for the throne.

Arrow piercing the heart just sounds painful!

"..." Yang Dejin's thoughts were flying wildly, and then he said dryly, "...You two, don't look at me like that."

Pei Yu turned her head back silently.

Hearing such a shocking prophecy, the Lord is still standing next to him, which is too scary. Prince Yu will not kill him to silence him, will he?

He is just a fourth-rank young minister, and he can't bear this kind of stimulation.

Pei Yu: Is it too late for me to pretend to be deaf?

Xie Zhi didn't speak, just pinched his chin and watched Yang Dejin.

Yang Dejin felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her, sighed and said, "I don't."

Seeing that Xie Zhi was silent, Yang Dejin quickly tugged at her arm, a little anxiously: "Really, I'm not interested in that position. Do you believe them or not?" As he spoke, his other hand was still pointing between the cardinal and himself. Come and point.

Xie Zhi glanced at the hand on his forearm, then looked at her expression, and nodded slightly after a long time: "Yes, I believe you."

Yang Dejin always told himself to trust her. Her sincerity and openness really deserved her trust.

Of course, she should trust this person in front of her more than a religious oracle with unknown origin and suspicious background.

Yang Dejin breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little uneasy.

She didn't want to be an enemy of Xie Zhi, nor did she have any intention of obstructing Bai Qingyang's great cause of becoming emperor.

If the news of the world's change of ownership reaches Bai Qingyang's ears, she, Yang Dejin, will suffer first, followed by Li Zichou. The heroine was decisive, and Yang Dejin was really afraid that her hands would be too fast, and her subordinates would smear her neck before she could react.

…wait.

Speaking of which, Dachengjiao released such an oracle, how could it give her a feeling of sowing discord?

The empress and Prince Yu turned against each other, causing panic in the court.

This plot...

Seeing Yang Dejin immersed in his own world for a long time, Xie Zhi thought she was still worried about the oracle, so he comforted her in a low voice: "Don't think too much, I will prove that the oracle is false."

Yang Dejin blinked, and gave a dumb oh.

"Yes, it's all rumors!" Pei Yu also came out to show his presence at this time, he pointed at Xie Zhi and said, "Xie Shilang will prove that the oracle is false!"

The author has something to say:

Li Zishou: I don't want to be one.

Bai Qingyang: I won't be.

Yang Dejin: I can't be.

Xie Zhi: I will prove that the oracle is false.

Pei Yu: She will prove that the oracle is false.

Xie Zhi: Why are you here?

The deception used by Dacheng Sect to bluff people is actually quite simple. My description contains exaggeration, but it is definitely within the scope of materialism. You can guess what the principle is.
