Zhang Zhiwei, who was observing secretly, looked at the scene expressionlessly.
The Jar Man, a little ghost he killed on the train, was originally an innocent child who was kidnapped by a demon while shopping. He was then transformed into a little ghost in an extremely inhumane way and was at the mercy of others until he died. This was also the only child Zhang Zhiwei had killed in his life.
Zhang Zhiwei felt no guilt about killing him, nor did he need to feel guilty. He just felt a little sad and regretful.
Sure enough, "Zhang Zhiwei" in the field looked directly at the man in the jar and said loudly:
"He was harmed by a demon, tortured beyond measure, and transformed into a form neither human nor ghost. He was controlled by his enemies like a tool. Isn't death a kind of relief? I've done a good deed!"
"Good thing, you thought he was just a knight who enforces justice?! Then look at these again!"
The King of Hell shouted, and then he waved his hand again. Bai Wuchang pulled the iron chain, and a headless body was dragged in. With a "pa" sound, it fell into the hall.
Zhang Zhiwei: “…………”
What are you doing? A hat trick!
Just as I had this thought, I heard a "bang bang bang" sound like a ball hitting the ground outside the hall. I turned around and saw a human head bouncing in.
I seem to have some impression... Zhang Zhiwei looked at the head, thought carefully for a moment, and remembered that this was the bandit who called him a stinky cow nose and whom he killed when he came down the mountain before.
At that time, he casually snatched a knife from the bandit and chopped off his head with one blow. The chop was so clean that the head flew up and the man died after a few breaths.
That’s not all. In addition to this bandit, several bandits who were beheaded and a large group of people were dragged in by the Black and White Impermanence.
The reason why it is described as a "beach" is because it has lost its human shape and can only be shoveled with a shovel.
These are the human traffickers who were killed one by one on the train by Zhang Zhiwei, who was carrying a thousand-pound iron bucket full of coal.
"Although these people are full of evil, they kill but do not abuse others. You are violent and cruel, and your methods are appalling. It would not be too much to condemn you to eternal purgatory and never be reborn!" the King of Hell shouted.
Zhang Zhiwei, who was watching coldly in the dark, saw this scene and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was a little too harsh. It was all Xinyuan's fault. It had affected him.
At this time, the "Zhang Zhiwei" on trial did not repeat Zhang Zhiwei's blame-shifting remarks, but instead said loudly:
"They say killing is better than abusing life, but these vile people have lost all conscience. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine. My level of cruelty isn't even one-tenth of theirs. Acting on behalf of Heaven, how can I be guilty of this?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Hell laughed heartily. "You're acting on behalf of Heaven, but has Heaven ever let you do that? Do you know that the suffering you endure in this life is all the result of debts owed in past lives? Even after countless calamities, the karma remains. When karma meets, you will reap the rewards. Fate and calamity are all arranged by fate. Karma and reincarnation are all predetermined. If you were to decide what is good and what is evil, what use would I have for the Underworld?"
Zhang Zhiwei, who was being judged, shouted, "Who says I'm not acting on behalf of Heaven? I'm a disciple of the Celestial Master Dao of the Zhengyi Sect. I follow the instructions of my ancestor, using justice to combat evil and unifying all with unity. I am considered the Zhengyi Sect, and acting on behalf of Heaven is my bounden duty."
"Furthermore, according to the rules, you have no right to judge me. I am a disciple of Professor Zhengyi, and have been ordained by the Three Officials Great Emperor. The Three Officials Great Emperor will judge right and wrong. Why should you dictate?"
The Three Officials are the three gods revered by Taoism and are the earliest gods worshipped by Taoism. The Three Officials refer to the Heaven Official, the Earth Official, and the Water Official, representing heaven, earth, and water respectively.
Because heaven, earth and water are necessary conditions for production and life, without them, human beings cannot survive. Therefore, human beings always have awe for them and worship them devoutly, which then gives birth to a huge power of faith.
Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi Sect, once offered sacrifices to the Three Officials of Heaven, Earth and Water when he founded Zhengyi Mengwei Sect, taking the Three Officials as the foundation. Therefore, after the disciples of Zhengyi Sect were ordained and granted the Taoist scriptures, they were under the jurisdiction of the Three Officials.
Of course, this is the version in mythology.
Zhang Zhiwei had no idea what the real situation was. He had never seen any gods, but the Zhengyi Sect did have the ability to exorcise gods and ghosts.
This god was actually born from the power of faith of all living beings. To say that it is to drive away gods is actually an application of the power of faith.
According to Zhang Zhiwei's understanding, the Three Great Emperors should be Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Zhengyi Sect. He realized the enormous power of faith contained in the sky, earth and water, and through a series of means, he brought these three enormous forces of faith into the Zhengyi Sect's Dharma lineage for use.
Think about the practitioners of the divine mask. They have to go through a lot of hardships to get some power of faith for their own use. Zhang Daoling's method can be said to be very clever.
…………
At this moment, after the "Zhang Zhiwei" on the field mentioned the Three Officials Emperor, the King of Hell laughed and said:
"What nonsense! How dare you mention the Three Officials Emperor? As a disciple of Zhengyi, you disregarded the sect's prohibitions and took your fellow apprentice down the mountain to eat beef. You have been expelled by the Three Officials Emperor. In my Eighteen Levels of Hell, there is a level specially prepared for monks and Taoists like you who have violated the precepts. It is the Volcano Hell. What do you have to say?"
Zhang Zhiwei gritted his teeth, no longer as calm as before: "I... I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'?" The King of Hell laughed. "You say you're a member of the Zhengyi Sect, acting on behalf of Heaven. But who are you acting on behalf of? You clearly only do things according to your own preferences. If someone doesn't do what you want, you kill them. If the sect's rules don't suit your wishes, you disregard them... Your evil deeds are simply too numerous to list, and you still dare to quibble?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the "Zhang Zhiwei" who was being tried finally began to panic. He was covered in cold sweat, his face began to become ferocious, and he muttered incoherently. He was already in a struggle between his conscience and his desires.
He's really good at talking... Zhang Zhiwei, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, glanced at the panicked "self" on the field, and two words suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Observe the Dharma!"
In an instant, Zhang Zhiwei understood the inner demon's intention.
The inner demon wants to make the false become true and influence the real him through the fictional "him".
This is an application of "observation method", and it is a very advanced application. For example, the young man named Ma Long from the Tang Clan in later generations is good at this. Of course, the means he uses are far inferior to Zhang Zhiwei's inner demons.
"The method is very clever. First, I use the thinking mode of my original body to construct a false thought. Every word and action of the false thought is a reproduction of the original body's thoughts. Because the original body's thinking is influencing the false thought, the original body's thinking begins to overlap with the false thought's thinking."
"But once this overlap reached a certain point, you did the opposite, projecting your delusional thoughts, words, and actions onto the deity, thereby influencing its thinking. I almost fell completely into your trap!"
