Chapter 284: Wandering and Longing
Immediately after the morning court that day, a eunuch came to report that the treasury had been stolen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Guangyi disagreed, thinking that a thief would dare to come to the palace to steal something, so he casually asked what was missing.
The eunuch said that he had not lost a penny, but what he had lost was just a mask, but because it was something that Emperor Taizu cherished during his lifetime, he hurried over to report it.
Hearing what the eunuch said, Zhao Kuangyin could guess what was missing, it must be the ghost baboon mask of the one-legged ghost clan who made his brother still worry about him when he died.
After going down, Zhao Kuangyin went back to his dormitory in a hurry, and then entered the door and searched the furnishings in the room as soon as possible. In the end, as expected, Zhao Guangyi found the missing ghost baboon mask on his bed.
Zhao Guangyi thought that he had finally come, and said to the empty room:
"Eighteen years later, I still remember the feeling of fear when I first heard your plan that day. But I did it anyway, and as you predicted, I became emperor sixteen years after that, but I also became an executioner who would not hesitate to poison his own brother for the sake of the throne. ”
Zhao Guangyi knew that he was not talking to himself, because he was listening.
As a result, someone really answered:
"In any case, you are on the throne. It's your own choice, and it's God's choice.
The god that our people serve, the one who does the game, puts you in the emperor's seat from the very beginning. He's just borrowing your own hand to complete his layout and make everything fall into place. ”
He was really there, the Xiao man who instigated Zhao Guangyi to add to Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe eighteen years ago and put poison powder on the dragon robe. That is, three years ago, he found Zhao Kuangyin and asked him to send the golden statue back to Guizhou.
Zhao Guangyi heard Xiao Ren's voice coming from the back of his head, and he turned around and said:
"It is only when you come to see me today that I am completely convinced that your prophecy eighteen years ago has been fulfilled word for word. The words and deeds of the first emperor to me at the cost of death before his death also made me feel a great responsibility.
Therefore, since you are here, I have to take some shortcuts, follow the teachings of the first emperor, and ask you how I can pass on the great Song Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”
After that, Zhao Guangyi turned around completely, and saw a tall man standing behind him, his face was not wearing a mask as Zhao Kuangyin said, but completely clearly exposed, and he looked relatively immature.
Zhao Guangyi was a little disappointed and vigilant:
"No, you're not him, who are you? How dare you break into my dormitory!"
"He, if you're talking about him, the person who gave you advice eighteen years ago, that person is me. Xiao said.
Zhao Guangyi didn't believe it:
"Impossible, when I met him eighteen years ago, he was already an old man with a wrinkled face! How could it be that after eighteen years, he became a young man with clear eyebrows, and you look like you are only fifteen or sixteen years old!"
Xiao Man Says:
"Mentally, I'm hundreds of years old, and if I had to look at the body, I could keep it alive by molting like a snake. ”
"You mean you can live forever?!"
"Immortality is a very empty word, and one day I will end it, but I don't know where the end is. ”
"Who are you, and your people who hide their heads and tails!"
Xiao Ren paused and replied:
"In all dynasties, as long as the emperors I have come into contact with, this question has been asked, but I can't answer it.
But it's because generations of emperors have asked questions like these that I have questions about myself, about my one-footed ghost clan, and about the gods we serve.
My people and I would have to rebel against God if we wanted to understand these issues thoroughly. And if your Song Dynasty wants to unify the world and thousands of generations, you have to cooperate with our one-legged ghost clan to break this situation. ”
"Break this game?
With all due respect, I've always felt that this deal that Brother Huang made with you was not a good deal at all.
You said that your god is also the one who does the game, and said that soon there will be a dynasty named Jin to replace me in the Song Dynasty, and our Song Dynasty is just a flash in the pan. But the change of dynasty is a very ordinary thing, I don't believe that my Great Song Dynasty is really so vulnerable, I think your words are empty words, so the deal is not cost-effective.
My Great Song Dynasty has contributed money and efforts to escort things for your Xiao people, and you just have no evidence, saying that you want to help us escape from this situation, but do you really have the ability to resist your gods!
Despite this, I, the Great Song Dynasty, are already cooperating with you.
My imperial brother, the retinue of the first emperor, has already helped you transport the nine golden statues to Guizhou, and some of the entourages have reported that the things refined by the golden statues are already on their way to the designated place.
But you, after you made a deal, you never showed up, leaving an empty promise, and now you don't show your true face. So I don't believe that you Xiao people have the power to rebel against your gods, unless you have some other skills besides immortality. ”
Xiao Ren smiled clearly:
"Hahaha, compared to Zhao Kuangyin, your mind is heavier and more scheming. It's not that you don't think the deal is cost-effective, but you're waiting for an opportunity to find out the details of my one-legged ghost clan.
Well, if you want to cooperate, you should be open and honest, and besides, I know everything about your visit to the Great Song Dynasty, and you don't know anything about us, so it's understandable to be wary of us.
Then I'll give you some details.
For a long time, I have lived in a fixed place for the ghosts, in order to obey the call of our god and rush to the appointed place to complete the task assigned to him. Over time, our God has become the sustenance of our hearts.
You may wonder why we are gifted with supernatural abilities and yet we are at the behest of God. It's not that God is too powerful, but if you open your eyes, you will walk in this vast world without a father or a mother, but you don't know where you came from and where you are going. Then God's guidance will make my people forget their inner hesitations for a while.
However, it is not a long-term solution to always act according to God's instructions, because our abilities make us very sensitive, and we can be ten times or even a hundred times deeper into the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
So, under God's guidance, we have nightmares in the process of subverting dynasties or instigating others. Those bloody pictures, people's sadness, despair and fear, are like a bright red brand, fiercely imprinted on our bodies and minds!
Following God's guidance and doing these bloody things over and over again can fill our empty hearts and find the value of our existence in the first place.
However, as the imprint deepened, our people felt more and more hesitant. After using our own abilities to know the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and desires of ordinary people, we are more yearning for ourselves in the hesitation. ”
