Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 234: White Lotus Sect's Means

The 150,000 rebels retreated to the back one after another, and stampedes happened everywhere along the way! Many are trampled underfoot, especially those who are weak!

But at this moment, no one cared about those who were stepped on! There was chaos in the rebel army, and countless people died!

"Quick! Retreat quickly! The army of the imperial court is right behind. If you want to survive this time, you must retreat quickly!"

"Yes! The army of the imperial court is really powerful, we are no match at all!"

"Hey! Why did the imperial army appear at this time? Didn't you say that there is no army?"

Those rebels are still talking there!

However, less than a quarter of an hour later, there was another sound of chaos among the rebels in the north!

"What's the matter? What happened?" Zhong Xiang followed the rebel army to retreat, and couldn't help asking anxiously at this moment.

"Elder Zhong, something is wrong! The road ahead is blocked! Moreover, there are shouts of killing ahead! The imperial court has also deployed a large army in front!" said a Xiangzhu.

"How could this be? Quickly open the way!" Zhong Xiang said.

However, his voice was not over yet, and the rebels in the north began to retreat towards the back one after another! All of a sudden, the crowd was crowded, and the rebel army became even more chaotic!

The incense master who talked to Zhong Xiang before, has gone to nowhere now! Zhong Xiang yelled there, but no one listened to him! He wanted to restrain the army, but unfortunately it was impossible!

"Master! Master! What should we do now?" Yang Mo's voice came from afar!

"Come to me!" Zhong Xiang said, sweating profusely.

After a while, Yang Mo squeezed beside Xiang Zhong!

"Master, there are imperial troops in front of us and behind us! Moreover, the roads are blocked! Our rebels dare not fight the imperial army! What should we do now?" Yang Mo asked anxiously.

"These mobs are no match for the imperial army at all! We have failed this time!" Zhong Xiang said.

"What? This is a failure? Don't we still have an army of 150,000? How could it fail?" Yang Mo said in disbelief.

"The army of these untouchables is no match for the imperial court at all! Forget it, forget it, I still miscalculated as a teacher! I thought to myself that the army of the imperial court has already gone to various places in Sichuan and Sichuan. Who knows that they still have ambushes on the Jinniu Road! Hey, we If all goes well, the 150,000 rebels can conquer Sichuan and Shu, but if there is a slight setback, the rebels will be vulnerable! Hey!" He sighed a long time!

"Master, what should we do now?" Yang Mo asked.

"Let's return to Mianyang immediately! Let's go up the mountain! With our martial arts, we can escape!" Zhong Xiang said.

"But, master, if we retreat now, what will we do with Sichuan and Shu? How will we occupy Sichuan and Shu, and how will we realize our grand ambition?" Yang Mo said.

"Can you still think about these things at this time?" Zhong Xiang said bitterly.

He was already striding forward, Yang Mo gritted his teeth, and immediately followed Zhong Xiang towards the front! There were people from the rebel army standing in front of them, and they used lightness kung fu to step over the heads of these people, and these people screamed in shock, this is naturally unavoidable!

After a while, they came to the mountain. The mountain was steep, but their martial arts were so strong that there was no way to stop them here! After a quarter of an hour, the figures of Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo gradually disappeared!

And the rebel army is still in chaos at this moment!

The road to Shu is narrow, and there are enemies in front and behind. These rebel soldiers are already extremely anxious, and they don't know what to do?

"Surrender without killing!"

At this moment, there were bursts of voices from the front and back! These are the voices of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!

These voices are incomparably neat, but thousands of people made them together!

In such a chaotic moment, such a voice immediately acted as a deterrent!

"Surrender, don't kill! The officers and soldiers said that surrender is not to kill? Let's kneel down and surrender!"

"That's right! We are no match for officers and soldiers at all, and now there is no other way but to surrender!"

"Old Liu, you still don't kneel down!"

The two 60- and 70-year-olds who participated in the rebel army were still safe and sound, but now they heard the voice of surrender, and the 60-year-old rebel soldier hurriedly pulled the 70-year-old rebel soldier down to his knees!

Gradually, more and more people knelt down!

After less than half an hour, almost everyone knelt down!

The night was dark, and the surroundings were quiet, only the sound of breathing from the rebel army could be heard! Occasionally there is a wind! The voices of those officers and soldiers disappeared at this moment!

More than 100,000 people from the rebel army knelt there, their hearts were full of fear and anxiety! They don't know what their fate is, and they don't know how the officers and soldiers will really treat them! It wasn't until this time that they realized that they had participated in the rebellion, which was a serious crime to kill the Nine Races! However, the officers and soldiers had already said that they would not be killed if they surrendered, so I don't know if it is true or not!

"Old Liu, what should we do? Are we going to die?" said the volunteer in his sixties.

"We are old bones, and it doesn't matter if we die! But my grandson is here too! If my grandson dies, then our Liu family will have no descendants! There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest! Even if I die, I don’t even have the face to meet my ancestors!” said Yi Jun, who was over seventy years old!

"What should we do? What should we do? Light up the sky! We will know what to do when the sun rises!" said Yi Jun, who was over 60 years old.

"Yes! Hurry up to dawn! It's really scary now!" Yi Jun, who was in his seventies, said.

It was pitch black, and their hearts were filled with terror!

An hour has passed, and gradually the rebels in the south and north heard footsteps, which made their hearts beat faster, and they knew that the officers and soldiers were coming!

When it was getting dark, they could see that there were indeed officers and soldiers in front of them! These officers and soldiers are in order, all of them are holding bright weapons, and countless bows and arrows are pointing at them!

"Don't kill us! Don't kill us! We are bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, we don't want to oppose the imperial court!"

"Forgive me! Forgive me!"

"I have an eighty-year-old mother on the top, and a baby in swaddle on the bottom! Please spare me!"

There are wailing voices everywhere in the rebel army!

Those officers and soldiers ignored them, and after a while, suddenly there was an earth-shattering voice in the army-"Long live!"

Countless officers and soldiers knelt down on the ground together, and the voice of long live resounded through the sky!

"What? Long live? Could it be that the emperor is here?"

"My God! The emperor is here! Let's greet him quickly!"

"Long live! Long live Your Majesty!"

For a time, voices of "long live" were everywhere in the rebel army! Although these common people were bewitched by the White Lotus Sect and opposed the imperial court, the concept of the emperor's supremacy was formed in their hearts since childhood! At this moment, when they heard the emperor's arrival, all the rebels showed panic expressions on their faces. They still recognized the emperor's supremacy in their hearts, and they all said "long live"!

It's just that their voices are noisy. Although there are many of them, the voice of "Long Live" is far from being comparable to those of the officers and soldiers!

*** ***

In the misty sky, surrounded by countless soldiers, Zhao Chen in a dragon robe walked out of the army!

Seeing Zhao Chen approaching, those people first looked at Zhao Chen with some curiosity, and then hurriedly lowered their heads, lest Zhao Chen think they were rude!

"Grassmen see Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Your Majesty! The grass people pay homage to Your Majesty!"

For a while, such a voice sounded here again, and there was a crash!

After a long time, the voice slowly quieted down! The people of the rebel army were still panicking, and some people were secretly looking at Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen was neither sad nor happy, and these people were even more shocked!

"Last night, many people died here, and many of them were trampled to death by yourselves! My heart aches!" Zhao Chen finally spoke!

Hearing Zhao Chen's soft voice, the rebels below breathed a sigh of relief! But after hearing clearly what Zhao Chen said, many people also sighed in their hearts! Some of their relatives and friends died here, and many of them couldn't contact their relatives, friends and fellow villagers at all, so they were very worried about the situation of their relatives, friends and fellow villagers!

"Kneeling all night, are you tired?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"Not tired!"

"The grassroots are not tired! I just ask His Majesty to spare me!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The people below shouted one after another, they dare not say that they are "tired", they just beg for mercy!

"Kneeling all night, how can you not be tired? Well, you don't have to kneel now, just sit down! You all sit on the ground and listen to what I have to say!" Zhao Chen said.

Hearing Zhao Chen's voice, those people were stunned again! People naturally need to kneel when they see the emperor, not to mention they are rebellious people! But now Zhao Chen asked them to sit down, and the people couldn't believe it for a while! But not long after, countless people became ecstatic, and the emperor asked them to sit down, which proved that the emperor really had no intention of killing them!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

"Cao Min thanked His Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

A moment later, there was another bang from the rebel army, countless people kowtowed to Zhao Chen, and then they stood up and sat down again!

There was a great chaos in the rebel army, and Zhao Chen didn't start talking again until the chaos stopped.

"You are all citizens of the Song Dynasty, why did you rebel against the Song Dynasty? Why did you rebel against me?" Zhao Chen said.

The common people in the rebel army below looked at each other, and after a while, a boy in his teens finally said, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect says that we can establish a prosperous age of the White Lotus! People enjoy happiness! Therefore, we are bewitched!"

"Everyone doesn't have to work, do you think it is possible? Even if I deal with state affairs every day, it is impossible for me to take a few days off in a year! I have to work every day, and my ministers also have to Work! Everyone doesn't work, is that possible?" Zhao Chen said.

"This...Your Majesty, these are the wills passed down to us by the old mother of Wusheng! The old mother of Wusheng is the most powerful god in the heaven and earth, omnipotent, she said so, it must be true!" The boy said again.

"Mother Wusheng is the most powerful god in heaven and earth? Omnipotent? She is so powerful, so there is no need for you to rebel! Only she alone can establish the White Lotus Prosperity, and she can kill me and kill all the courts. Officers and soldiers, the prosperity of the white lotus has been realized! What else does she rely on you for? She still needs you to revolt?" Zhao Chen said.

"This..." The boy stayed there, unable to speak!

Yes, as Zhao Chen said, if the gods preached by these religions are really omnipotent, then do people like them need to revolt? Really omnipotent, one word and one thought, the world will become the so-called "white lotus flourishing age"! But Wusheng old mother does not have such ability, Wusheng old mother still relies on preaching and uprising, and the uprising may not be successful! What kind of "omnipotent" is this?

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Holy Cult can put his hand into the oil pan! Even the oil pan can't scald him! The envoy of the Holy Cult can also kill ghosts!" the boy refused to accept.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry!

But he was already prepared!

"Come on, bring up the oil pan!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, someone brought an oil pan over, and the hot oil in the oil pan was boiling, boiling extremely!

"Come and take a look, all of you! Is this a frying pan?" Zhao Chen said.

When a group of volunteers came up, they looked at it and nodded their heads!

"Let more people take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

At present, more volunteers and civilians came up, and they all nodded!

"Very good! You are all watching!" Zhao Chen smiled, and plunged his hands into the frying pan!

ah!

Shouts came from below, and countless people even covered their eyes, not daring to look any further!

"This frying pan seems to be nothing more than that!" Zhao Chen's voice came out, extremely calm!

The rebels below opened their eyes one after another, and everyone looked up in amazement, only to see Zhao Chen's hands slowly pulled out of the oil pan! He wiped his hands with a cloth, and saw that his hands were safe!

"Ah! Your Majesty actually has such abilities? Your Majesty, you are also a diamond body?" said a rebel below in disbelief.

"What diamond body?" Zhao Chen said.

"The envoy of the holy religion said that only a real vajra body can put his hand into the oil pan without being hurt! The envoy of the holy religion has been taught by the old mother of Wu Sheng, so he has such ability!" said the Yijun.

"Pure nonsense! Wu Jie, come and give them a show!" Zhao Chen said.

Behind Zhao Chen, a young general came up! This young general has a handsome complexion and looks very refined, it is Wu Jie!

At this moment, Wu Jie also inserted his hands into the frying pan, and countless rebels and civilians below were watching! The oil pan was boiling, and Wu Jie's hands were safe!

"This..." The people below were stunned, they didn't expect another "vajra body" to appear!

"Let the soldiers come and have a try!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, the soldiers stepped forward one after another, and many soldiers inserted their hands into the oil pan, and many soldiers were safe and sound!

"This... Could it be that His Majesty's subordinates are all vajra bodies? Could it be that they are also the disciples of Wusheng Mother?"

"Why is this? Impossible!"

"Yeah! Strange! Strange!"

The common people in the rebel army below were talking a lot. At this moment, a rebel army was arrested by Wu Jie. The rebel army was still struggling, and Wu Jie had already stuffed the hands of the rebel army into the frying pan! The rebel screamed, but soon he realized something was wrong, the temperature in the oil pan was not as high as he had imagined! After he pulled his hands up, he found that his hands were normal!

"How is it possible?" The rebels couldn't believe it!

"Are there any of you who want to give it a try? I guarantee you are safe and sound!" Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the rebel army below was silent, and no one caught up! After Zhao Chen yelled a few more words, finally a brave commoner from the rebel army came up. He put his hands into the frying pan, but he was safe and sound, and he was very surprised at the moment! Then, more and more people came up, and the result of their experiment was that their hands were safe!

In fact, this is an ancient trick of the rivers and lakes. First pour vinegar into the oil pan, and then pour oil! Vinegar has a high specific gravity, so underneath, the oil floats on top, just a layer! Vinegar has a low boiling point, so it doesn't take much to boil it! From the outside, it looks like a pot of boiling oil! In fact, there is not much temperature inside, and human skin can fully bear it! Ordinary people don't know the truth of it, they just think it's really the gods coming down to earth, the gods passing on the skills and so on!

"Wu Jie, just now someone said that the members of the White Lotus Sect can slay ghosts, show them a show!" When the surroundings became quiet again, Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"The last general respects the decree!" Wu Jie stood up!

Immediately, Wu Jie took out a piece of paper, the paper was pure white, nothing!

Then Wu Jie sprayed water towards the paper, and suddenly a ghost appeared on the paper! Wu Jie cut the ghost in half with a sword!

The rebels below were stunned again, and many people showed expressions of disbelief!

"What other skills do members of the White Lotus Sect have? Tell them all!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the holy religion are invulnerable!" A rebel soldier in his fifties stood up and said.

"Invulnerability? Oh? Who can be invulnerable, call him out!" Zhao Chen said.

After a while, dozens of rebels stood up and came to the stage! These are the envoys of the White Lotus Cult who can perform invulnerability!

"I have a sword in my hand, come and try it!" Zhao Chen said.

Among the dozens of rebels, a dozen people were trembling all over, while the rest were eager to try!

At that moment, a young man aged sixteen or seventeen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try! You are coming towards my belly!"

"I don't want to kill you with my own hands!" Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry!

At that moment, the young man took off his shirt, and he began to exercise. He stood there with a horse step, and the sword in Zhao Chen's hand slashed towards the young man's stomach, and a stream of blood immediately flowed out! The young man was shocked, unbelievable!

"Your Majesty, he is not Wusheng's mother's disciple! He is a fake disciple! I am the real Wusheng's mother's disciple! I am willing to give it a try!" Another person stood up and said.

At this moment, this person came up to try a move, and after a while, this person's stomach was also bleeding, and he also stayed there!

Then Zhao Chen ordered these dozens of people to be pushed down to the ground and tested one by one. No one could be "invulnerable"!

Ancient Chinese religions confuse the people. There are two favorite tricks, one is Fushui to cure diseases, and the other is "invulnerability"! And the typical example of "invulnerability" is the later Boxers! The Boxers preached invulnerability at that time, no matter whether it was a sword or a hot weapon, it could not hurt! The literati at that time recorded that "the guns and foreign guns were used to load the gunpowder, and the boxers stood a hundred steps away with their stomachs open, allowing the guns to fight each other, and the bullets hit their bodies. Showing it to the public, everyone is amazed, thinking they have never seen it before, and those who go to the altar to ask for advice are like returning to the market", and the bullets can't get into their stomachs!

In the Qing Dynasty at that time, from the Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Hongzhang to the ministers of the court and ordinary people, they all believed in the "invulnerability" of the Boxers in a mess! The Empress Dowager Cixi felt that although the foreign guns and cannons were powerful, the boxers of the Boxer Regiment were invulnerable enough to resist the foreigners, so they officially fell out with the foreigners! When the foreigners invaded, the boxers actually rushed up with foreign guns and cannons. Facts have proved that the so-called "invulnerability" is purely a joke. However, some boxers at that time thought that those Tuanmen who were shot to death were not real Boxer disciples, and they still believed in "invulnerability", they still charged forward with gunfire, and then fell to the ground again! It wasn't until the Boxers were completely defeated that the myth of "invulnerability" was officially shattered! From then on, no matter whether it is the upper class or the lower class of the country, no one believes in the so-called "invulnerability"!

Zhao Chen didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect would also use the trick of "invulnerability" to confuse the people. In fact, it is impossible to be invulnerable even if one has advanced martial arts skills! Even Wang Chongyang cannot be invulnerable! Especially if there is a magical weapon like the Chunjun sword in hand, it is impossible for Wang Chongyang not to defend himself and let others chop on him!

After this "performance", the common people of the rebel army below were stunned, and they stayed there one by one, at a loss!
