Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 161 Chapter 165

The next day, Zuo Ming left for Wangcheng.

The Kingdom of Kent is not very big. The distance between Holy Jack and the royal city is at most equivalent to Wuzhou to Leizhou in the Tang Dynasty. If you ride a horse, you can get there in a day, but he and Sabo are in a carriage. So act a day in advance.

When Zuo Ming and Sabo arrived at Wangcheng, it was already crowded with people.But seeing Zuo Ming, those people automatically gave way.

Some of them have heard of Zuo Ming's virtuous name, and some are purely curious, but it is undeniable that Zuo Ming dared to accept this trial, and it really came, which deserves a certain degree of respect from them.

Not long after, Zuo Ming and Sabo were led to a huge square at the end of the city.There, King Ethelbert and a group of princes and nobles had already arranged fruits, parasols, tables and chairs, waiting for the show to begin.

In front of them was a huge newly dug deep pit, inside which was a giant white beast lazily basking in the sun.On the right side of the deep pit is a knife-edge tripod about five meters high, which is the so-called knife mountain.On the left, there is a sandy field full of logs and oiled.There was no fire at this time, but Zuo Ming could easily imagine how hot it would be when it was lit.

There are many people around, so the inner circle is a group of heavily armed soldiers.

After looking around for a while, Zuo Ming's eyes fell on a terribly old man.Needless to say, he should be the 90-year-old Augustine.Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting side by side with the king, and there would be that Anne standing behind him.

When Zuo Ming was looking at Augustine, he was also looking at Zuo Ming. Seeing that he was so young, Augustine smiled softly, and the last trace of worry disappeared.

"Are you Augustine?"

Looking at the old magic stick, Zuo Ming said lightly.

"Bold! How dare you be rude to the bishop! Do you want to die?"

Zuo Ming's tone of priority and sloppy attitude immediately caused dissatisfaction among the holy knights.

"You are bold! Since when are you qualified to speak here!"

They were menacing, and Zuo Ming's momentum was even more majestic, and they were calmed down in just one click.

"My knight is naturally qualified to speak! But you are not sure whether you have this qualification."

Seeing that his subordinates were shocked by Zuo Ming, Augustine laughed jokingly.

"Up to now, you are still questioning the power of this God! You are a pathetic sinner! It is a shame for Christ that the Church of Christ has been reduced to being led by a sinful person like you! But it's okay, This is the end of your sins! Now that the god has come to Wangcheng, he will naturally correct such a mistake of yours! Oh! That’s right! And you are a foolish king! To accept the baptism of such a sinner, you will be punished by God in this life! Abandoned! Eternal hell!"

Smiling coldly, Zuo Ming said leisurely, and while speaking, he turned his face to King Ethelbert.

After hearing this, Ethelbert suddenly became furious.He despises Augustine, but it does not mean that he is not religious.In fact, he is also an out-and-out believer, so when Zuo Ming said that he would be abandoned by God, he slapped the table hard.

"Bastard! It's just nonsense! This king has taken the precepts sincerely and repented and prayed every day! How could God abandon me! You false god! I will burn you to death! I will let you never be reborn forever!"

Ethelbert said this with confidence, because what he said was done.

Some people may wonder, since Ethelbert is so pious, why is his behavior so wretched and ugly?
This starts with the teachings of Christianity.

Christianity believes that everyone is a sinner, so everyone needs to repent and everyone needs to pray.

Because of this doctrine, Ethelbert had an illusion. He felt that he was already a sinner anyway, so it didn’t matter no matter how many mistakes he made. It was just a matter of how many mistakes he made and how few mistakes he made. , as long as you remember to repent and pray every day afterwards!He thought that as long as he was more devout, God would definitely forgive him, because God is so tolerant and great!
Therefore, on the one hand, he was abusive, and on the other hand, he repented and prayed devoutly in his spacious palace.

This is undoubtedly a misinterpretation of the doctrine, but no one can say that he is wrong, even he himself feels that he is not wrong.

Ever since, an ugly king and a fanatic who respects the gods are perfectly combined into one.

Deformed to incomprehensible!
"Burn me to death? Isn't that why you brought me here today? Ignorant mortals, you really don't know how ridiculous your actions are!"

Smiling coldly, Zuo Ming took off his shoes with a flick of his foot as he spoke, grabbed the sharp blade ladder on the knife mountain, and slowly climbed to the high place.

The blades of those steps were so bright that one could feel a chilling chill from a long distance away, but such a chill did not leave even a trace on Zuo Ming's feet and palms.

Standing on the top platform composed of countless barbs and broken blades, Zuo Ming looked down at the surroundings.

At this moment, the entire square was silent, and everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

"Impossible! Impossible! There must be something under the soles of your feet! I want to check!"

Seeing Zuo Ming standing on the top of Knife Mountain as if nothing had happened, Augustine suddenly screamed out.

It was really hard for such an old man to be able to yell so sharply.

Hearing his exclamation, Zuo Ming laughed even more mockingly.

"Inspection is fine! You climb up, I'll let you see enough! But, do you dare?"

Zuo Ming's words made Augustine's face twitch.

Zuo Ming has already climbed the mountain of swords and won the admiration of the masses. If he uses force at this time, he will definitely lose his prestige.

But soon, Augustine thought of a way - he sent a holy knight of his own!
The knight was obviously brainwashed by him, and he agreed to go up the knife mountain without thinking about it.But when he saw that he was wearing armor and started to crawl, Zuo Ming felt relieved, and then he laughed even colder.

"You can come up in your armor! But if I don't have pads on my feet, I want you to take off your armor and climb down!"

At this time, Zuo Ming will not be merciful, because he is a diehard Augustine, and Augustine is already his sworn enemy!

Hearing this, the reptile holy knight was slightly stunned, and a trace of struggle flashed across his face.

However, just as he was struggling, the spectators booed.

"Yes! I'm going to lose my armor and climb down!"

"If you dare to question the gods, you should be punished!"

"That's right! It's shameful to question others casually, and you should pay the price!"

They don't really support Zuo Ming, some of them are purely psychopaths who just want to see blood.

"Promise him!"

Seeing the knight hesitate there, Augustine slapped the table, stood up angrily, and roared.

He really couldn't tolerate this kind of hesitation and hesitation, because it would make him feel that his brainwashing had failed.

When Augustine spoke, the knight nodded helplessly, and then continued to climb up.

Not long after, he and Zuo Mingxiang stood facing each other.

The difference is that Zuo Ming doesn't have leather gloves or steel boots, but he has them all!
Looking at Zuo Ming, the holy knight's eyes were full of decadence and bitterness.In fact, it doesn't matter whether you look at Zuo Ming's soles now, because he has already seen it when he came up just now, and Zuo Ming's soles are not covered with anything.

However, as an upright and brave knight, he must be responsible for his actions.So, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and put his hands forward, not even caring that his knees were covered with blood.

"Galen! What are you doing? Get up!"

Seeing his knight kneeling down to Zuo Ming, Augustine became even more furious.However, no matter how he yelled, Galen didn't even look at him, but instead raised his head and looked devoutly at Zuo Ming.

Looking at his clean eyes, Zuo Ming finally softened his heart, raised his right foot and put it in his palm.

Holding Zuo Ming's right foot, Galen lowered his head deeply.He didn't have to look, because he already knew the result.The reason why he did this was just to let the people around him see it.

"There is no cushion!"

"Long live Erlang God! Long live the true God!"

"My God! There is really no cushion! But how could his delicate meat withstand so many sharp knives?"

"What do you know? That's a god, no one can compare to it!"

"No way! I think he is no different from us! He doesn't look like a god!"

"Then what do you think God should look like? Is Christ God? Is he any different from us?"

"Forehead"

Seeing the result, the believers of Zuo Ming cheered immediately, and some people who saw Zuo Ming for the first time also exclaimed for a while, and then started discussing enthusiastically.

This alone only shocked them a little, and it was not enough to make them regard Zuo Ming as a god.

The result was clear, Zuo Ming slowly withdrew his right foot.Galen also stood up slowly.

"Take off your armor! Take off your armor!"

"Unarmor"

Seeing Galen standing up, the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted in unison, the sound was really loud!
Augustine's old face has turned livid.He gradually remembered those legends about Zuo Ming. He was shocked and a little scared. He was even thinking about how to end Zuo Ming if he was really a god.

But after thinking so much, he never looked at Galen again.

—He didn't care about his life or death.

Seeing Augustine's cold gaze, Galen's heart was already so cold. Following the shouts around him, he finally sighed sadly, then untied his gloves and threw them aside.

However, just when he was about to lift his feet to take off his shoes, Zuo Ming stopped him.

"and many more!"

As soon as Zuo Ming spoke, everyone fell silent and waited for his next words.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zuo Ming showed a warm smile, grabbed Galen's arm, and stomped hard on those intertwined blade fragments!
Those steels were already very brittle, but after withstanding the weight of two people, they immediately turned into countless fragments and collapsed under the weight of two people!
Falling straight from a height of five meters, Zuo Ming is naturally fine, but Galen almost failed to stand still, but fortunately Zuo Ming grabbed his arm, so he didn't fall to the ground on top of the debris.

"Now, fulfill your promise! Take off your armor and get down!"

After landing on the ground and standing firmly, Zuo Ming said such a sentence in the silence.

And as his voice fell, the entire square resounded with countless applause!
