Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 744

Seven days later.

The first day of September.

Small Penglai Tianmentai.

Tianmentai is located in the south of Xiaopenglai. The terrain is slightly higher than the ground. It is half-natural and half-artificially built into a ladder shape, and its shape is like a nine-story staircase against the wall.

Each step is two feet high, thirty feet long from east to west, and three feet wide.

In addition, there are nine Tianmen beheading platforms on each step, and a support frame stands on both sides of each beheading platform.

In addition, there is a big drum at each end of the stairs, and another bronze mirror hangs the light.

In front of the first step of Tianmentai, there is a five-foot-wide passage paved with blue stones.

At the end of the aisle lamp stands a bronze slab table seven feet long and four feet wide. There are three card slots protruding from the center of the table.

This case is the hub of the entire Tianmentai, with countless spiritual lights bursting out from the four feet, and it is closely connected with the 81 "Tianmen Beheading Platforms" with nine steps.

On both sides of the aisle, there are nine three-foot-high bronze pillars surrounded by one person.

The eighteen pillars are covered with blood-colored inscriptions etched by cloud seal script, all of which are the various precepts of the "North School of Congenital Qi".

At the entrance to the passage stands a tall black gatehouse.

The pillars on both sides of the gatehouse are built with black stones, and the angular rock pillars reveal a sense of rigidity and chill.

Tianmen!

Two pitch-black cloud seal talisman patterns are engraved squarely in the middle of the lintel beam of the gate tower.

On the opposite side of the Tianmentai is the dark ring-shaped grandstand.

At this moment, nearly [-] internal and external disciples of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' are gathered here.

On top of their heads, there are nearly [-] Jindan real people standing in the air.

Inner sect disciples of the Southern Sect can actually stand in the air with the help of clouds, but seeing that the people standing in the air are all Jindan real people, naturally no one will join in it for the sake of being bored.

As early as yesterday, all the disciples of Yiqi Nanzong had been notified.

From the eighth day of September to the fifteenth day of September, disciples who violate the sect's precepts will be punished at the 'Tianmen Terrace'.

All internal and external disciples can adjust their time to watch at Tianmen Terrace.

Today is the first day, so there are more disciples here, about [-]% of the disciples of Nanzong came.

At this time, more than 2 internal and external disciples standing on the circular staircase looked at the nine-story Tianmentai and discussed in low voices.

Hundreds of "Dharma Protectors" wearing armor and wearing black robes were cruising around to maintain order.

Since Zhang Ke returned to the Zongmen a month ago, he has directly rectified the inside and outside of the Zongmen.

Every day, a large number of sect disciples, disciples of various sects and casual practitioners were captured.

On the highest day, nearly 600 people were arrested.

It is impossible for such a big-name action not to cause panic among the disciples of the Zongmen and the people of the nine prefectures of Penglai.

Even if he knows that he has not made a mistake, who can guarantee that he has not violated the sect's precepts unintentionally.

It wasn't until yesterday that they received the news of the punishment from 'Tianmentai' that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the arrest had been completed.

And once there is no pressure in the heart, curiosity will follow.

'How many people have violated the sect's precepts? '

'What have they done? '

'How does the sect plan to punish these people? '

These three questions are almost the most concerned in the minds of the [-] disciples at this time.

Shi Zhongxiu stood in the air, frowned and looked at the Ninth Floor Tianmentai without saying a word.

'Tianmentai' is the punishment place of the Zongmen, but it was rarely used in the previous 200 years.

In his memory, the last time the 'Tianmentai' was used was more than 100 years ago.

He remembered very clearly that ten disciples were beheaded that time, and only the bottom floor of the nine steps was activated.

But at the Tianmentai at this moment, there is a dark golden aura flashing on each of the nine steps. It is obvious that the scale of punishment today is not small.

Shi Zhongxiu was born in the Mysterious Mist Realm, and is not a direct disciple of the 'Innate Qi School', so he is not very clear about some things.

Seeing such a large scale, I couldn't help worrying secretly for Shi Zhongyu.

While thinking, I only heard someone whispering around:
"Hey, it seems that this time the head is going to kill again!"

Shi Zhongxiu's heart shook, and he turned to look at the speaker.

The real Honghe!

Daoist Honghe was one of the first 96 people who followed Zhang Kenan to move to the south, and he had already achieved Jindan during the "Congenital One Qi School".

Like Xu Qingzhi, Baishi, Chifa, Biluo and others, they are the most trusted group of people by Zhang Ke.

His current cultivation has reached the level of dragon and tiger, but he has not yet reached the level of dragon and tiger, so he has not taken the last step.

Hearing Honghe's muttering to himself, Shi Zhongxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to ask.

Other colleagues have already asked:
"What does Uncle Hong He mean by this?"

In an instant, the gazes of hundreds of Daoist Jindan all focused on Daoist Honghe.

Daoist Honghe looked around, seeing his fellow disciples looking at him nervously or curiously, he pondered for a while, and said softly:

"Brothers, most of you have only advanced to Jindan in the past hundred years, and some of you have been worshiped in the 'Fengxia Temple' and 'Yunzhan Cave' in the past.

So I don't know much about many things in the head.

Back in Dingzhou's 'Benzong', in order to rectify the ethos in the sect, the head of the 'Catching Wind Terrace' deacon at that time committed massacres in the sect many times.

The most serious time, when he was in the Golden Core Realm, he confronted the 'Benzong' Yuanshen Zhenjun.

He insisted on beheading one of his direct disciples on the spot in front of the true master of the primordial spirit.

You don't know, there was a joke in the 'Benzong' at that time.

It is said that as long as the real Ruyi sits in the gate, even the ants will line up neatly up and down the mountain.

At the time of "Benzong", almost all the disciples of the sect changed their expressions when they talked about his name. "

Shi Zhongxiu's heart trembled slightly. From the simple words of Master Honghe, another image of Zhang Ke appeared in his mind.

He still met Zhang Ke in the Mysterious Mist Realm. In his impression, Zhang Ke was an extremely powerful, but kind, tolerant person.

Otherwise, Zhang Ke would not have rescued those infected Japanese corpses.

Even after the establishment of Penglai and Penglai in the South China Sea, Zhang Ke never showed a trace of tyranny.

In the hearts of Shi Zhongxiu and most people, Zhang Ke is like a big umbrella covering all living beings, silently guarding the nine counties of Penglai.

But at this time, when they saw the nine-story 'Tianmen Terrace' shining with spiritual light, everyone suddenly saw another Zhang Ke.

It's just that no matter whether it's Jindan Daoist or the inner and outer disciples on the circular staircase, they don't know what kind of terrible things will happen today.

Even Daoist Honghe, who said "Killing the Ring", did not expect that his words would become a prophecy today.

nine o'clock in the morning.

The blue sky seemed to have been washed by water, without a trace of cloud.

The slightly cooler weather added a little chill to the world.

Just as many disciples were whispering, a deep and deep bell ringing resounded through the heaven and earth.

"Boom--!"

In an instant, none of the [-] disciples of 'Tianmentai' opened their mouths, and a needle could be heard falling silently.

A few minutes later, two groups of dark clouds rolled rapidly from the direction of 'Xiezhi Peak'.

The dark cloud in front was slightly smaller, while the other cloud was hundreds of feet in size.

Like the "Benzong" in Dingzhou, the "Nanzong" built a "Catching Wind Terrace" in the name of "Xiezhi" on a mountain in Xiaopenglai.

Arrest, interrogation, and prison are all within this peak.

Shi Zhongxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two dark clouds, on top of which stood dozens of Jindan Daoist.

The leader is Xu Qingzhi, the deputy head of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', and beside him are 'Catching the Wind Terrace' Bi Luo, the 'Discipline Court' Yu Fengtong, the 'Elder's Court' Yan Chuan, and the 'Guardian' Yuan Jinting, etc. people.

A tall pale golden flag stood above everyone's heads.

On the flag pan, the black and white Yin-Yang and Tai Chi diagrams shimmered, shining a halo above everyone's heads.

Behind this dark cloud, on another large dark cloud, hundreds of black-clothed disciples stood neatly.

And among these black-clothed disciples, there were thousands of unkempt practitioners in white clothes.

Not only were these people's hands and feet bound by blond shackles, but their mouths were also bound by rune-blocking cloth strips, so they couldn't even think of saying a word.

"Hiss—!"

A sound of inhalation spread around the 'Tianmentai'.

What Shi Zhongxiu could see, the rest of the disciples could naturally see too. No one thought that there would be so many people above the dark clouds.

'Why are there so many people? Are these people who violated the sect's precepts? '

'You don't know, I heard that among these thousands of people, there are many disciples of various sects who spy on the sect's secrets. '

'Oh!I see.'

'Hey, you deserve it, but I don't know how the sect plans to punish them? '

The two dark clouds flew very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, we reached the sky above the 'Tianmentai'.

The first dark cloud where Xu Qingzhi and the others were located did not land, but hovered in the air, as if waiting for something.

Another dark cloud fell directly to the ground.

'Clatter-!Crash-! '

Amidst the sound of chains, in front of the gate of Tianmentai, the disciples of "Catching the Wind Terrace" dressed in black violently drove the thousands of people who were trapped together to surround them.

Two thousand gold-armored and silver-armored dharma protectors will manifest and stand neatly near these thousands of people.

During this process, Xu Qingzhi and the others stood above the clouds with solemn faces without saying a word.

And those 'Catching the Wind Terrace' disciples wearing black 'Xiezhi' robes were even more vicious, and they were not polite when they struck.

Shi Zhongxiu saw a locked Jindan real person being kicked down by a "wind catcher" just because his movement speed was a little slower, and a vermilion long stick was thrown across the Jindan real person to the side .

Shi Zhongxiu's eyelids twitched, and suddenly someone beside him said in a low voice:
"Brothers, there seems to be something wrong!"

"Yeah, I don't know why, my eyelids keep twitching, and I always feel that something big is about to happen."

"."

Not only them, but even the more than 2 sect disciples below felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Some disciples chattered among each other in low voices.

At this moment, another bell rang.

"Boom--!"

All the disciples shut up and looked up at the cloud.

However, ripples appeared in midair like water patterns, and circles of translucent ripples scattered in all directions.

Gradually, a hundred-foot-sized face appeared in the middle of the rippling water.

The facial features are three-dimensional like knives and axes, the eyes are closed tightly, the eyebrows are long and narrow like blades, and a tower-shaped golden pattern faintly appears between the brows.

In the next second, the eyes on the face in the sky slowly opened, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be covered by white mist.

Endless majesty falls on every disciple's heart like a mountain.

In an instant, all the disciples in front of the Tianmentai bowed to the air in salute.

"Disciple pays homage to Sect Master!"

The sound waves of tens of thousands of people echoed between the heaven and the earth for a long time.

"Free gift!"

A deep, deep, slightly magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears.

After everyone straightened their bodies, the huge face of Zhang Ke manifested in the air said:

"Unparalleled!"

Xu Qingzhi bowed and saluted:

"The disciple is here!"

Zhang Ke's misty eyes scanned the tens of thousands of disciples below, and then said slowly:

"Today, I will preside over the punishment of the disciples who violate the sect's precepts. I would rather kill than let go!"

The words 'I would rather kill than let go' hit the hearts of countless disciples like a heavy hammer.

Xu Qingzhi said respectfully:

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ke said solemnly:
"Today's matter is only to reiterate the sect's precepts, I hope all disciples will take this as a precept in the future, so that they can do it themselves!"

After saying this sentence, Zhang Ke's huge face disappeared in circles of ripples.

After Zhang Ke's manifested face disappeared, Shi Zhongxiu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

'The coercion of the head seems to be getting heavier? '

Xu Qingzhi stood above the clouds and threw out a vertical scroll in his hand.

The vertical shaft hovered in the air, manifesting a length of hundreds of feet, and flashing dark golden light unfolded from top to bottom in the air.

The dark golden fonts shine brightly in the scrolls one by one.

On the top, there are four big characters written in Yunzhuan runes.

—— Zongmen precepts

Below are the 120 seven precepts of the sect densely distributed.

Xu Qingzhi stood above the clouds and shouted loudly:

"All the disciples recite the sect's precepts with me!"

The clear voice like a phoenix's cry spread all over the surrounding area for a hundred miles.

"Here—!"

Tens of thousands of disciples all bowed and agreed.

"The first commandment of the sect, whoever betrays the human race, beheaded!"

Xu Qingzhi shouted loudly.

"The first commandment of the sect, whoever betrays the human race, beheaded!"

Tens of thousands of people followed suit at the same time.

On the vertical scroll in mid-air, the first line of characters at the top glows with golden light.

"The second rule of the Zongmen, those who betray the Zongmen, beheaded!"

Xu Qingzhi shouted loudly again, and the tens of thousands of disciples below shouted again.

"The second rule of the Zongmen, those who betray the Zongmen, beheaded."

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky.

"The third precept of the sect, harming fellow sects, behead them!"

"The third rule of the Zongmen precepts, if you harm your fellow disciples, you will be beheaded."

Among the thousands of white-clothed men who were chained, dozens of them collapsed to the ground trembling after hearing this precept.

"."

"Zongmen precepts No. 80 six, accepting benefits from others, worth more than one thousand gold talismans, will be deprived of their current positions, punished for nine rounds, and imprisoned for 60 to 200 years!"

After hearing this sect commandment, several people in white clothes raised their heads suddenly.

Chifa and Shi Zhongyu are among these people.

The red-haired real person is dissatisfied, isn't he just accepting a few furnaces and some resources from the "Acacia Sect", why is this?
I have done so many things for the sect, it's no big deal to enjoy it.

Just after struggling twice, a vermilion long staff suddenly hit his face heavily, knocking his whole body down.

"Snapped--!"

The burning pain on his face made him hate the person who made the shot. This is not only pain, but also a kind of humiliation.

'Wooooooo' yelled twice, but was hit on the face several times by the long stick.

The red-haired real person no longer twisted his body, the hero does not suffer from immediate losses, and after this matter is over, he must find the guy who beat him to settle accounts.

'But... can I still have this chance of revenge? '

If you accept the benefit of one thousand gold talismans, you will be whipped for nine rounds and sentenced to 60 years of confinement.

I have received no less than hundreds of thousands of gold talismans and a female cultivator of the "Acacia Sect", and even encouraged Baishi to compete for the position of acting head.

It's an exaggeration to say that you betrayed the sect, but your actions definitely violated the sect's death penalty precepts.

And, there is another very important point.

That's when he saw that the disciples of the 'Windcatcher' were not rude to everyone.

what does this mean?
No need to think about it, the red-haired real person already understood the meaning contained in it, and he couldn't help but despair.

"Article 120 of the sect's precepts, those who harm the lives of ordinary people without reason will be punished for three rounds and imprisoned for ten years."

"Article 120 of the sect's precepts, those who harm the lives of ordinary people without reason will be punished for three rounds and imprisoned for ten years."

After reading all the 120 seven precepts of the sect together with all the disciples, they had an impression of the precepts of the sect for the first time in their hearts.

While the disciples were still thinking about these sect's precepts, Xu Qingzhi raised his hand and threw out a luminous vertical scroll again.

The names of 81 sect disciples are impressively displayed on the vertical scroll.

——The verdict!
