At this moment, several robbers were put on nooses and kneeled on the torture platform.
There is a valve under your feet. As long as you pull the valve, it will open and they will fall down. The weight of their bodies will instantly break their necks. Or it may be temporarily kept suffocating and struggling because they can't breathe until they hang up.
Under the threat of death, someone finally couldn't help it and collapsed and shouted: "There were robbers who surrendered to you a few days ago, and that was actually our undercover!"
At this moment, there were loud and noisy up and down the execution platform, so the man's screams were not obvious at first until the people around him heard it and stopped, so that his voice could be heard by more people.
After screaming for four or five times, his voice almost hoarse. The crowd watching the execution finally calmed down, leaving his voice alone to echoing over the execution ground.
"Mark, you coward, actually betrayed your brother to save your life!" Another guy next to you who was about to be executed shouted.
"What a coward? Are you not afraid?" Mark shouted, "It's just that you don't have enough status and don't know the secret. Otherwise, you will definitely surrender faster than me!"
“…………”
The townsmen listened blankly as the bandits on the punishment platform bit their hair, and then followed the past and opened the future one after another, and turned their eyes to the direction of Xiao Ling and the others.
Although the robbers on the stage did not explicitly say, "The robbers who surrendered a few days ago were actually our undercover agents, and they were fake surrenders." There is no doubt that it refers to Xiao Ling and his party.
Each gaze was like a pair of knives, piercing at the four people hard, and there were many discussions.
"It's them. It must be them! Apart from them, there are still robbers who surrendered? They were all hanged!"
"The abominable blasphemers dare to deceive the holy light. We have let them go and held a baptism ceremony for them."
"I just think they are from a unknown origin and have problems, so it turns out! The acting skills are really good. Even the priest was hidden. I specially arranged people to stare at them, but I didn't get any results."
"If it weren't for the confession of these robbers, everyone would have been kept in the valley."
In fact, without discussing the identity of an undercover agent, Xiao Ling and the others have made little contribution to Clermont Town in the past two days. They promptly notified the news that the robbers were about to arrive. They don’t know how many lives of the people in the village were saved. Later, they worked diligently and honestly transformed, and they also had no contributions and worked hard.
But at this moment, it seemed that all the townspeople had forgotten. Heresy must die! Bandits must die!
Wen Di, Li Tianxiao, and Ling Wulin looked panicked, suppressed his urge to escape, and shouted in his heart: Master, you are too cheating, are you? People are hard to deal with. We are undercover here, and we dare not breathe. It was already difficult enough, but you even arranged this!
They are extraordinary people, they are not afraid of death, but... they are helpless to encounter such an accident.
Run? Where can I run in public?
You should know that the villagers here are not ordinary people. They all have a magical physique and have the power of holy light that can eliminate heresy. Even if they have been upgraded twice, they have greatly enhanced their resistance to holy light. The resistance is limiting.
During the baptism ceremony, the old priest was the initiation of them alone. There was only one pressure. Each of the hundreds of people in the square shot them with one shot. No matter how strong the resistance was, he couldn't stand it.
But what if you don't run?
Asking Li Sheng from outside to lead people to rescue him? The distance water cannot relieve his near thirst. What's more, Li Sheng has not brought enough people and has no ability to rescue them.
The three of them swallowed together. There were so many people in the square, and one spit was enough to drown them. Could it be that the mission failed like this... I am really unwilling to accept it!
While thinking, they instinctively looked at Xiao Ling, who had gradually become the backbone, and saw that the corners of the guy's mouth were slightly raised, and his face was full of such an expression...
The crowd gradually surrounded Xiao Ling and the other four. The air in the square seemed to solidify, and the bandits on the execution platform not far away were completely forgotten.
Some faced them from the front and some completed double-teams from the back;
Someone started a prayer and showed the silver-light armor of faith to prevent them from attacking;
Someone rolled up his sleeves and was maliciously thinking about whether to slap the face first or slap the leg first. It would be great to slap the face, so that they could not escape.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop! The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building!
Compared to these guys' malice, Xiao Ling's face was indeed so funny.
You guy, isn't the scene of the hindshot just now? Looking at the slowly approaching crowd, Wen's third man also stopped looking, and was about to accept the depressing and helpless ending.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling's expression changed. From that funny face to a sad, angry, helpless, and aggrieved expression. Facing the slowly gathering crowd, with a "sweeping" sound, he suddenly tore open his clothes, revealing his upper body, and then rotated it around so that everyone could see it.
The approaching crowd stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Xiao Ling's body in surprise.
What did they see? Did Xiao Ling actually have a suicide bomb tied to her body, making them afraid to force them too much because they were worried about their lives?
This is indeed a feasible way to escape, but unfortunately it is not...
They saw a circle of ascetic laces with nails on Xiao Ling's body, like bullet belts, passing through Xiao Ling's body, from the front chest to the shoulders and the back. Under the ascetic lace, the skin was covered with scars and blood, and it hurts even if it looked.
This is a way of practice that only the most devout believers in Christianity can have - asceticism. The real world is tied to the thighs, and this world is different, it is tied to the body. Xiao Ling asked from the townspeople.
Because at the beginning, whether in reality or in this world, Jesus came to save the world and was crucified, endured such torture, and then resurrected and revealed. Therefore, some devout believers believe that if they torture themselves in this way and experience the suffering Jesus had suffered, they could be closer to God and listen to the sacred teachings.
And in this world with miracles, asceticism itself has a stronger binding force.
When you tie the ascetic belt to your body, you also need to make a warning, and you will definitely strictly observe it from now on and will not violate the warning. God will give you stronger power of holy light, but if you violate it, the ascetic belt will automatically tighten, as if it is tight, and bring you unimaginable pain.
Therefore, as soon as the ascetic practice was taken out, the townspeople immediately hesitated and stopped.
Xiao Ling trembled and hoarsely, as if he was suffering from pain, and said: "I swear to Christ that I will not forget the suffering the Lord has suffered for the world, always whip my body, remember the precepts set by the Lord, and never violate it in eternal life..."
"You shall not have any other God besides me; you shall not carve idols for yourself, nor shall you make any image as if you are going up to heaven, down to earth, and all things in the water. Do not kneel down to worship those images, nor serve him, for I, the Lord, your God is a jealous God. I shall pursue his sins, from the Father and the Son, until three or four generations; who love me and keep my commandments, I shall show mercy to them for thousands of generations. Do not slander the name of the Lord, because those who slander the name of the Lord, will not regard him as sinless."
When Xiao Ling recited the Ten Commandments of Christ, the townsmen just listened at first. Later, Xiao Ling recited one sentence, and they followed them, as if they were doing their homework with the priest.
For a moment, only this pious voice echoed over the square.
"To commemorate the Sabbath, keep it as a holy day. Six days shall work hard to do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath that the Lord shall keep, to the Lord, to your God. Be filial to your parents. Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not make false witnesses and frame people. Do not be greedy for people's houses; do not be greedy for people's wives, servants, maids, oxes, and all his... "
Looking at the singing and watching the scenes of the drama, Wen Di, Li Tianxiao, and Ling Wulin's eyes were almost protruding: Damn, when did Xiao Ling tie such a thing on his body?
The most important thing is that this thing is not fake, because with Xiao Ling's chanting and as the townsmen in the square responding, this thing is emitting white light - the white light of the holy light, proving its authenticity and proving that it is working.
For a moment, Xiao Ling was worshipped.
The townspeople themselves are very devout believers, but they dare not tie a sect to practice with them. That's too difficult! It's like taking the initiative to apply for a tight hoop curse, but this thing is different from a tight hoop curse. The tight hoop curse just hurts sometimes, and this thing hurts all the time. The difference is that it hurts more and less.
Not only is it difficult, anyone who practices can tie it, but it is not something that ordinary people can do if they are bound to gain the recognition of the Lord and if they are bound to produce holy light.
So in the blink of an eye, the situation in the square fell one way. Xiao Ling went from being a heresy who was shouted and beaten to a crazy believer of the Holy Church and a being worshipped by ordinary believers.
After the Ten Commandments, Xiao Ling pointed to the robbers on the stage and continued with a hoarse voice: "Actually... they were not wrong, because when the four of us entered here, they were indeed undercover."
"But at that time, we didn't know that our companions around us were heretics. We didn't know how many evil we did without realizing it. Until we suddenly repent here! The holy light shines forever!"
"The holy light shines forever!" Everyone shouted with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling continued humbly and restrainedly: "Although he was merciful to the Lord and allowed me to enter the church, I would be unable to sleep or eat whenever I remembered my previous sins. So yesterday in the church, under the witness of the priest..."
Xiao Ling gently stroked the ascetic belt on his body, and his meaning was self-evident. He felt that his sins were too deep to be washed away, so he took the initiative to apply for this almost harsh method of practice.
