The crowd was blasted open to make a path. Ten handsome young men were sprinkling water on the street, followed by ten beautiful girls who used a red carpet to pave the road, and ten children were sprinkling flowers behind them.
Finally, there was a palanquin that was carried by ten sage-like female Taoist nuns. Celestial Master Zuo in a purple robe and a silver mask and Fairy Queen Li in a white robe were sitting on the palanquin.
The atmosphere here was originally very gloomy, but after the arrival of this group of people, it became much more luxurious.
The people looked at the two people who were sitting comfortably on the palanquin, and then looked at Gu Xietian and his family who were tied to the iron pillars on the stage. Almost everyone clenched their fists when they compared the two!
Celestial Master Zuo used to be the savior in the hearts of the people. Even if they saw his carriage from afar, they could not help but want to kneel and cheer. Every time they saw his carriage, they would be excited for a few days, and they could not wait to smell the soil that he walked on. That was a fanatical worship from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, Celestial Master Zuo was the nightmare of the people. No matter where he went, there would be a bloody massacre. The people would tremble when they saw his carriage, and they would kneel to worship him, but in their hearts, they could not wait to pull him down from the carriage and bite him to death.
All the people knelt down and were forced to welcome the arrival of the God of Death.
None of the people dared to make a sound. There was no other noise in the huge square except for the crying of the children who were tied to the iron pillars.
"So noisy …" Celestial Master Zuo finally spoke. His cold eyes glanced at the three children who were crying, and his voice was magnetic as usual. However, what he said made everyone secretly shiver. "Cut off their tongues first."
"Yes!" The executioner took the order and held the children's chins with his left hand to force them to open their mouths. His right hand picked up a short dagger and was about to cut off their tongues.
The people who were watching the scene were shocked.
In the ancient times of our country, the so-called death by dismemberment was to cut off a person's flesh one by one. It had to be cut a few thousand times, and the prisoner had to suffer a lot in order to die a quick death. The number of cuts was different. The heaviest was 3,600 cuts, and the lightest was only eight cuts.
However, this dynasty was different from the ancient times that everyone knew. There was no death by dismemberment, so the people didn't know what kind of punishment it was.
Gu Xietian's family was the first to be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. This was also the main reason why so many people came to watch.
Killing someone was nothing more than a nod of the head. The common people thought that death by a thousand cuts was another form of death penalty, but it required a special procedure.
Therefore, when Celestial Master Zuo gave the order to cut off the children's tongues, the people's faces turned green!
Even if Gu Xietian had committed a crime punishable by death and his entire family had to be executed, cutting off his tongue was too cruel! What's more, it was a child's!
There was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but start discussing. Some of the hot-tempered ones couldn't hold back their anger …
Gu Xietian's face also changed. He shouted, "Stop!"
Although he was restrained, his acupuncture points were not sealed. His voice was still very shocking, causing the executioner who was about to carry out the punishment to tremble and subconsciously stop.
Celestial Master Zuo looked at him and smiled. "Gu Xietian, what else do you have to say?"
