At noon the next day, there was a large number of tourists around the burning field. All of them had come to watch the burning of the sacred fire.
To be honest, being able to see such torture in today’s society was a very rare thing, and most people did not want to miss it. Besides, the vast majority of tourists came for the burning of the sacred fire.
The purpose of their coming here was to see how a living person was burned alive in order to satisfy their distorted inner demands.
Could such a burning still reflect the meaning of the sacred fire?
Could such punishment still burn the karma away?
No one cared anymore. Everyone indulged in their own pleasure. Some for visual enjoyment, some for twisted hobbies, and some for making money. The actual meaning of the sacred fire had almost ceased to exist.
Everyone was cheering and shouting, “Burn him! Burn him!”
The poor man walked onto the burning platform alone, and favonovel.com did not need anyone else to escort him. This was because everyone who went to the burning platform did so voluntarily. If they were unwilling and did not want to be burned, no one would send them to the burning platform.
That much human right was retained, at least.
The poor man looked up at the sky and shouted to everyone in the audience, “I’m guilty. I made a mistake that men and gods are outraged about… I shouldn’t be moved to commit crimes by the sight of money and take what others have lost as my own! I’m immoral and tainted. I have offended the Celestial, so I’m willing to die to appease the wrath of the Celestial Being!”
He was repenting of his sins.
In fact, any logical person would know that this was not considered karma.
To be frank, it meant that someone else’s lost wallet was picked up on the road. Then, favonovel.com took it as his own without handing it over. It was just an insignificant thing.
If this sin could make the Celestial Being angry, then favonovel.com had a really bad temper.
This was simply nonsense. But as of now, no one could save him, and this man’s life would soon be taken away by the sacred fire.
At that moment, the Great Elder walked to the burning platform and extended his hand to take the torch.
He then looked at the man on the burning platform and said in a sympathetic tone, “It’s good for you to realize your mistake and try your best to repent. It is also a merit to exchange your death for the peace of the Celestial Being and prevent the spread of strange mark disease. You may now leave in peace.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com was about to ignite the lead, preparing to burn the man to death.
At this critical moment, a woman’s voice sounded, “Hold on!”
At such a time, who would dare to stand against the public?
Everyone’s eyes looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw a man dressed like a practitioner walking toward them. Behind the man was a man and a woman, and all three of them dressed like monks.
It was none other than Thomas, Pisces, and Phoebe.
It was Phoebe who had shouted just now.
After thinking about it last night, they decided to beat someone at their own game. The other party was being deliberately mystifying, so Thomas and the others responded in the same way.
The strange behavior of the three of them puzzled everyone, and everyone avoided them one after another, making way for them.
Thomas came to the Great Elder. The Great Elder looked at Thomas up and down.
He did not know the man at all, so favonovel.com asked, “May I know your name and where have you come from? Why did you stop me from executing the burning of the sacred fire?”
