Chapter 194: Destroying the Country

"As the supreme ruler of the Nanke Kingdom, the sudden appearance of the Xianmu Temple and the Xianmu Holy Envoy made the new emperor feel that his imperial power was threatened, and in order to rejoice in the sacred status of the Xianmu in the hearts of the people of the Nanke Kingdom, the prestige of the Xianmu Temple will soon surpass that of the royal family. As the king of a country, the new emperor naturally did not allow such an organization as the Xianmu Temple to exist, so soon after, the new emperor ordered the complete eradication of the Xianmu Temple. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Yin Tianyu also understood the new emperor's approach, after all, as the king of a country, when his ruling power is threatened, in order to rebuild the emperor's authority and stabilize the people's hearts, the Xianmu Temple must be cleared of such an organization.

Li Candle continued: "After the new emperor gave the order, the royal army began to encircle and suppress the Xianmu Temple, the so-called Xianmu Holy Envoy was just a charlatan, naturally unable to compete with the royal army, and soon, all the members of the organization in the entire Xianmu Temple were arrested without exception. However, what happened next was not as smooth as the new emperor of Nan Keguo imagined. ”

"Why is that?" Yin Tianyu wondered.

"Although the Xianmu Temple and the Xianmu Holy Envoy are all liars, what they are attached to is the most sacred joy Xianmu in the hearts of the people of Nanke Kingdom, coupled with the hype of the Xianmu Temple, the people of the whole country and even some important ministers in the court have prayed for the new emperor to release the members of the Xianmu Temple and the Xianmu Holy Envoy. ”

Unexpectedly, the worship of the people of Nanke Kingdom to Huanxi Xianmu has reached such a point, and what is even more terrifying is that there are many important ministers in the royal family who are bewitched by the Xianmu Temple.

However, the prayers of many people and ministers did not work, but made the new emperor's murderous intent towards the people of the Xianmu Temple more determined, and finally, despite the opposition of the people and ministers, the new emperor ordered the Xianmu Holy Envoy and other members of the Xianmu Temple to be executed in public. And this is not the end, in this incident, the new emperor knows that everything that happens now is because of the joy of the immortal wood, if the people's hearts of the worship of the joy of the immortal wood is not completely eliminated, then next, there will be countless immortal wood temples gushing out, at that time, their imperial power, I am afraid will be threatened. ”

Yin Tianyu was surprised: "Then how did this new emperor do it?"

Shaking his head, he sighed: "The new emperor thinks that the only way to avoid the same threat in the future is to completely destroy the Huanxi Immortal Tree. So, on one night, the new emperor directly ordered his guards to secretly come to the Huanxi Immortal Tree with nitric acid flint, and burned this sacred tree in the hearts of the people of Nanke Kingdom to ashes. ”

The new emperor's approach surprised Yin Tianyu and Xiangyang, but they didn't expect that in order to consolidate their imperial power, they would directly destroy the most sacred thing in the hearts of the people of a country. Although the joyful fairy wood that the people believe in is just an ordinary copper leaf green, it is this ordinary big tree, which has already become a kind of spiritual sustenance for the people, and the new emperor's practice is tantamount to cutting off the pillars in the hearts of the people.

"But the matter did not end there, although the new emperor burned the Huanxi immortal wood very hidden, but the people of the whole country knew in their hearts that the culprit of burning the Huanxi immortal wood was the new emperor. But after all, as the king of a country, the new emperor holds the army of the whole country, so even if he is resentful in his heart, the people dare not speak out. I thought that the matter would pass like this, but I didn't want to, just a month after the destruction of the Huanxi Xianmu, the new emperor suddenly ordered to capture many people, and in front of the people of the whole country, all these arrested people were beheaded for public display. ”

Originally, the people thought that these people were some traitors, but who would have thought that the day after these people were beheaded, some news came out of the royal family, saying that the people who the new emperor ordered to kill were innocent people, and the purpose of the new emperor was actually to use their blood to cultivate magic skills. After this news came out, it exploded in Nanke in an instant, and everyone began to discuss this topic. ”

And on the night that the news broke, almost every citizen of Nanke Kingdom had a strange dream, and all of them said that they had dreamed of the Immortal Wood Holy Envoy who had been executed by Ling Chi a month ago. The Holy Envoy of the Immortal Wood told them in his dream that the new emperor was the reincarnation of the demon king, and the real purpose of his burning of the Huanxi Immortal Wood was actually to absorb the aura of the immortal wood to cultivate his own magic skills. ”

This is too strange, the new emperor's approach and the dreams of the people of Nanke Kingdom are too unbelievable, but in a blink of an eye, Yin Tianyu understood the reason, all of this must be related to the Dream Weaver Bird!

Li Candle continued: "After this dream, the people of the whole country fell into a panic, and everyone finally knew the true purpose of the new emperor's burning of the Huanxi Immortal Tree, but I didn't expect that the supreme ruler of this country turned out to be the reincarnation of the Demon King, and once his magic achievements were completed, the Nanke Kingdom was about to face destruction. So, after that night, all the people gathered together, and even some of the ministers who were officials in the court joined them. After some secret planning, the people of Nanke finally launched an uprising, shouting the slogan 'Kill the demons, defend the homeland', and hundreds of thousands of people broke into the palace, ready to kill the new emperor before he could succeed. ”

"In front of so many people, the royal army was powerless, and the palace was instantly shrouded in a slaughter. In the end, the new emperor was captured by the rebellious people, and all the royal troops died under the anger of the people. But although the people won the final victory, hundreds of thousands of people, more than half of them were killed or wounded. Later, because of this turmoil, Nanke lost all its combat power in an instant, and within a month, the entire territory of Nanke was carved up by neighboring countries, and Nanke was destroyed. ”

After listening to what Li Candle said, Yin Tianyu Xiangyang and Lei Xingyuan all sighed helplessly, it was because of an ordinary tree that a country was destroyed like this, for the new emperor and those people, Yin Tianyu didn't know whether to pity or laugh, he could only sigh helplessly The complexity of human nature.

"Uncle Shi, the reason why the new emperor suddenly executed a few innocent people, and the same dream that the people had, was all done by the Dream Weaver Bird, right?"

Li Candle nodded, affirmed Yin Tianyu's thoughts, and then said: "Although I don't know why that Dream Weaver Bird has such a great hatred for the new emperor, but this is enough to see the horror of the Dream Weaver Bird, people who are uncertain are often confused by illusory things, just like those people, knowing that the world in their dreams is fake, but they still yearn for the fantasy world in their dreams." But they don't know that when they are trapped by the illusion, some of the beauty that really exists around them is missed by them, and in the end it becomes a regret, and they can only go to the dream to make up for it. ”

Leaving the candle's words shocked Yin Tianyu, yes, how many people can't extricate themselves for those things that are out of reach, but often the most precious ones are those who are by their side and have never left.
