Abide by the Immortal Return

It was not until the sun rose three poles that the basic order in the city was restored.However, there are still people on the street carrying corpses and cleaning up the blood.It was only half a day since the city was broken, and the battle ended too quickly.The monk Taihang was defeated before he could organize an effective counterattack.

The sound of knocking and knocking began to sound in the city, cooking smoke slowly rose from the chimney chimney, and the smell of rice came from the streets and alleys.Life is always going to pass, but the women who cook don't know what to think of and start to cry again.

Inside Xiao Mansion.

"My lord, what should we do with these prisoners." Kong Yuqing asked for instructions, and he pointed to several Taihang leaders who were tied aside.

As soon as he said this, all the monks who sealed the city looked at Fang Ke.At least ten thousand prisoners were captured.Not easy to place.In the history of Kunlun... there has never been a precedent for killing prisoners.Moreover, the war between Kunlun and Taihang is still going on, and there will be many days to deal with the prisoners.

So how to deal with captives today is bound to become a precedent.It becomes the basis for how to dispose of the captives in the future.

And how to deal with prisoners of war will also have an impact on the ensuing war.

The monks who closed the city couldn't help but tense their nerves.One of them said viciously: "My lord! These people burned, killed and looted during the closure of the city, and they must not be easily let go!"

"Yes!" The rest of the people echoed in unison, with expressions of eagerness to kill and then hurry up.

"Kill them!"

Kong Yuqing was also full of resentment, but he frowned but continued: "Many prisoners of war in the closed city are vassal sects of the Taihang Sect, and they surrendered voluntarily."

Even though she had an extremely dark idea in her heart, Kong Yuqing still didn't express it.Instead, he said what he should have said. "Killing prisoners is immoral."

"What kind of morals are you talking about at a time like this! Did they ever talk about morality when they killed people too much? Did they think about morality when they killed civilians! Go outside and have a look! Look at the closed city, at Changbai Mountain, at Shangguan's house , and those brothers from the same school who were killed! Look at the heads hanging outside! Think about those children... If you live alive, your blood debt will be paid in blood. Fuck your mother's morality! What morality are you talking about with a group of animals!" A monk following Fang Ke said with red eyes.The sword in his hand was buzzing, obviously extremely angry.

Kong Yuqing looked at the finger that had already pointed to the tip of his nose, and said without changing her expression: "I didn't say that I would let them go easily. As long as I kill them... Brother, it's not just one person, not hundreds or thousands of people but More than ten thousand people. What's more, if it is too strict, the resistance we encounter in the next battle will be more stubborn."

The monk pursed his lips and was about to refute.

But Fang Ke pressed his hand and stopped the debate.

Kong Yuqing picked up the pen on the table, and his storage ring contained more than a thousand scrolls.The things recorded in it are very complicated, some are daily conversations, and some are events.Or some of my own perceptions.

And Fang Ke gave him a hard pen for this reason.Although he still thinks that brush writing is more beautiful, it is true that hard pen is more practical.

"Those who kill civilians shall be beheaded; those who collaborate with the enemy shall be beheaded; those who rob civilians of their property and more...; those who perpetrate abuse...and those who kill the captives we sent shall be beheaded."

Fang Ke finished speaking unhurriedly, and asked again: "Do you have any omissions?"

After careful consideration, the people present couldn't help admiring.Kong Yuqing admired him even more. He had been by Fang Ke's side even more since he knew that Fang Ke had never mentioned the captives before.But for a moment, I thought of a solution.

But Fang Ke just smiled and said: "Remember the crimes of the remaining people. Imprison their cultivation base, escort them back to the Weifatang for disposal."

In the future, the law known as the Twelve Cuts in Wartime was born and became an iron law.And was cited by other sects.

But today more than [-] people died under this iron law!It has aroused the discussion of countless people in later generations.After Kong Yuqing's manuscript was exhibited, there were different opinions.Some people say that today's wartime twelve cuts are good, effectively protecting the innocent people in the flames of war, and preventing the occurrence of inhumane torture and murder of prisoners.However, some people also put forward a view that "one who does not know is not guilty", and they believe that the effective time of the Wartime Twelve Cuts should be after the promulgation of the Wartime Twelve Cuts.Therefore, the guilty should also be the ones who sinned after the promulgation of the law.

And the more than 5000 people who closed the city should not be dealt with according to this law.After all, if they knew about it, maybe most of them would not know the law and break the law.Killing [-] people at a time was too cruel.

But the mainstream voice still believes that it doesn't matter whether the law is promulgated or not.A crime is a crime. Isn't it a crime if there is no law promulgated and killing without fault is not a crime?fallacy.

What's more, without this deterrent.This law will not become an iron law.

This is all something for later, the market in the closed city at this time is bleeding like a river.Bright blood stained the shoes of those who came to observe the execution.

Every time a person is beheaded, his crimes will be reported.

The heads could no longer be placed on the stage at the end, and the executioner's knives had already been cut several times.

Such a scene should have been terrifying, cruel, and unbearable.

But the people in the audience watched without avoiding it, and the hands of the executioners were also steady... because they had a clear conscience.

……

When Shang Ruoxue heard the news, Shang Ruoxue's chess pieces fell from her fingers onto the chessboard.Then she picked it up as if nothing had happened, looked at Helian Nineteen and said, "Such a thunderbolt method is admirable. It's just that it's too iron-blooded, and there may be criticism."

"Although I don't believe in Buddhism, there are still a few good words in Buddhism. 'Using thunderbolt means to show the heart of a Bodhisattva. Strictly observing the precept of killing is a small mercy, and daring to open the precept of killing is a great mercy.'【Note 1】"He Lianshi Jiu Dan said: "Killing these five thousand sinners will save countless innocent people. Why is Fang Ke afraid of criticism?"

Shang Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "My master may be leaving the customs. Taihang's letterhead will not be so easy to cut by then."

Helian Nineteen's thick eyebrows twitched, but he said indifferently: "Your master is all about Taihang, why would he think about Tianshan?"

Shang Ruoxue smiled slightly, yes... There was a slight red light in her eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.

"It has been two days since Xiao Changqiu attacked Tai'an City, and the defeat of Tai'an City is already evident. But... Taihang Zuoqiu is out today."

Boom, boom, muffled sound.The two executioners beat Jiang Chenzhou in front of him one by one with all their strength.

The rest of the sect's elders were invited to watch the execution.

And above the main hall, Zuoqiu in black robe was imposing.It is impossible to look directly at.After he left the customs, his cultivation base increased really astonishingly.The most eye-catching thing is actually his eyes that are now intact.If he used to give people the feeling of treachery, then now he has a sense of sharpness and no femininity.

And Xiao Yunyi was sitting on his right hand.

No one expected that the first thing Zuoqiu would do when he left the customs would be to blame Jiang Shenzhou.At this moment, all the undercurrents on the Five Elements Mountain came to an abrupt end.

Because Zuoqiu showed his attitude.Xiao Yunyi is his master, and they have always been of one mind.

The hair on Jiang Shenzhou's forehead was wet with sweat, and there was already a fishy smell in his mouth.But he still maintained his standing posture, with his back extremely straight.

When the executioner saw this, his subordinates worked harder.

Finally, Jiang Shenzhou moved forward slightly.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Zuoqiu said indifferently.

Jiang Chenzhou looked at Zuoqiu, and said slightly panting: "The disciple shouldn't speak harsh words and cause discord in the sect. But the disciple is not satisfied with Elder Xiao's handling, and the disciple still thinks that Elder Xiao has no right to appoint and dismiss disciples."

"Keep fighting until you are convinced."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Qiu waved his hand, indicating that this matter is over.Then turn around and leave.

The rest silently bypassed Jiang Shenzhou and retreated.The little Jiujiu in his heart has long been overthrown.

After a long time, even the executioners were exhausted.Jiang Chenzhou staggered and fell straight down.Someone immediately reported Zuoqiu.

"Send him back." Zuoqiu said calmly.

"Jiang Chenzhou is really stubborn." After Zhu Guzhi said something, he continued, "Wen Ge died strangely. Master's palm wasn't fatal. I haven't found out yet...he wasn't poisoned, and his body was also poisoned." There are no other wounds. The sea of ​​consciousness is also intact."

"Every inch checked?"

"Yes..." Zhu Guzhi hesitated for a while and said, "No, I suddenly remembered that there is another place... I'll go right away!" After saying that, Gu Zhi left in a hurry.

After a while, Zuoqiu walked around the courtyard and waved to the attendants, saying, "Go and deliver a bottle of medicine to Mr. Jiang."

Then he walked around and looked in the direction of the city closure, and said to the attendants beside him, "Are you afraid?"

The attendant immediately bowed and said, "I'm not afraid! I just wish I could kill a few more Kunlun people!"

Zuoqiu glanced at him and said nothing more.
