Chapter 380: Burning Flame
Wang Yin walked slowly up the mountain.
Feng Xiaoliu looked up, and saw two people coming down from the luxurious carriage from a distance, also covered in white, and their faces were tightly covered.
Another man dismounted, looking at his people condescendingly.
"I'm Wang Xiao, and burning the body is my idea. As for why? I've also explained why. Is it unbelieving, or is there another purpose? You know it. ”
The night wind blew Wang Xiao's shout into the valley, and there was an echo in the distance.
"Know your ......"
Feng Xiaoliu was furious.
He wouldn't believe the nonsense that 'corpses can spread the plague', and he didn't want to believe it at all.
"You talk nonsense! Otherwise, why is my mother dead and I'm fine? ”
There were people shouting all around, muffling his voice and pushing it even bigger.
"It's clear that this traitor is not letting our relatives go to the ground for his own merits!"
"Wang Xiao is shameless, let His Royal Highness King Qi come out and explain."
"Wang laughed at the abuse of the people and the evil of the sky, let the king of Qi promise us not to use this thief......"
On the top of the mountain, Zhou Yan was shocked by this formation and asked, "I'm going to explain to them?" ”
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "These people can use idioms so well, there is nothing more to say." ”
Zhou Yan understood that there was someone fanning the flames.
Wang Xiao looked up at the moon, lowered his body and muttered to himself: "The scenery here is beautiful, and you can still hear the Zen sound of Dajue Temple in the evening, what's wrong?" If I die, I will be content to be powdered and returned to nature. ”
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was so fragmented.
But seeing that the expression in Wang Xiao's eyes became more and more determined, Zhou Yan realized a little - what he said was telling him that he had done nothing wrong.
So, does Wang Xiao also doubt himself......
The louder the shouting on the mountain, wave after wave.
Wang Xiao didn't bother to shout again, and greeted a high-voiced guard.
The guard cleared his throat and began to shout.
Wang Jue was watching the scenery there, and was so shocked by his voice that he sat on the ground.
"Since you want to bury your relatives, go up and get it."
Feng Xiaoliu below wanted to rush up when he heard it, but was pulled by several people.
"You don't want to die, that sack is full of plague-infected ......"
Feng Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, but the strength under his feet still slowly dissipated, and muttered, "They lied to me." ”
"Yes, the government lied to us! After receiving the corpse, they won't let us go. ”
"Don't try to lie to us again!"
……
Zhou Yan was really a little helpless, and sighed: "Why don't they listen to what you say?" ”
"Normal." The king smiled and said, "If you can talk about everything in the world, what else do you need to do with knives and guns?" ”
Before Zhou Yan could react, Wang Xiao had already handed him a torch.
"Your Highness, take it." Wang Xiao pointed to the corpse mountain in the col and said, "There is only this one left for epidemic prevention in the capital...... Throwing this torch, I ask for credit for Your Highness. ”
Zhou Yan slowly stretched out his hand to take the torch, took two steps, and suddenly felt a little dazed when he looked at the corpse mountain.
"His Royal Highness King Qi! The dead are great, and Your Highness must not do it. ”
"Your Highness, stop!"
"Please Your Highness not burn my father's ......"
The cry under the cliff grew louder and louder.
Wang Xiao persuaded in a low voice: "This move is not for them to see, but for the world to see." Today, His Royal Highness withstood the pressure and personally cremated the body, so that the people of the world could know that this was right. ”
Zhou Yan nodded, his lips a little pale.
At this moment, the fourteen-year-old boy's normally straight back collapsed a little.
He could feel countless pairs of eyes looking at him under the cliff.
Countless pairs of eyes in the world are also looking at themselves.
"Your Highness, why is Shengli innocent? I beseech your Highness, open your eyes and behold your people. ”
"If the blood of the people's parents is burned, where will their souls end? Where do the hearts of the people in the world go? ”
"We are all your people, Your Highness......"
"Please Your Highness return my mother to me......"
In the midst of the wailing, suddenly someone sang loudly, sounding extremely sad.
"The soul returns, go to the king's constant work, what is the Quartet? The pleasure of the king, and the ominous ...... away from him"
"The Soul Returns ......"
Zhou Yan's body trembled.
This is Qu Yuan's endowment.
Qu Ping's resignation hangs the sun and the moon, and the king of Chu has empty hills.
This is the justice he has been doing since he was a child.
When he was a child, he read history, and he was clearly determined not to be a faint monarch like King Chu Huai.
At this moment, some people sang Qu Zi's endowment and begged him to have mercy on the people......
How do you throw the torch in your hand again?
"There is nothing to consider this Shengdexi, and it is sad and sad for a long time. The emperor told Wu Yang that someone is down, and I want to assist him. The soul is scattered, and you give it ......"
During the song, Zhou Yan closed his eyes, and tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes.
Why? Why do you want to force people to this point?
He suddenly just wanted to run away, no longer want to be a prince or emperor, he just wanted to be a normal person.
Wang Xiao persuaded again: "Your Highness, you are the prince, and you can only bear the burden of the world." ”
Suddenly, someone at the bottom of the cliff cried out: "My name is Zhao Gou'er, I can't escape from Zhenggou Village, and I am the only one left in the whole family." I am willing to die here, I just beg Your Highness not to burn my father, mother, wife and children......"
Then, there was a burst of exclamations from the bottom of the cliff.
"Your Highness, look at your people......"
Zhou Yan looked at it and saw that the person was really killed, and there were people lying on the ground pounding the ground, all of them in pain......
Zhou Yan couldn't help but take two steps back.
"They...... They are really the people. ”
The king smiled: "Of course there are really people. ”
The next moment, someone raised his arms and shouted, "Dead! Let's rush forward! ”
"yes, rush up ......"
Wang Xiao sighed imperceptibly, turned around, and waved his hand.
The loud-voiced soldier shouted, "Since you don't take the corpse, don't make trouble here!" I'll count to ten, and if you don't want to die, stand aside and be quarantined, and then a doctor will treat you. One ......"
"Two ......"
Zhou Yan's face turned pale and exclaimed, "You want to kill them?!" Most of them are ordinary people......"
The king smiled and said, "Today, Your Highness has taken a step, and everyone else will know that this trick of coercing the people is useful." If you don't press it down as soon as possible, more people will die in the future. ”
Zhou Yan opened his mouth in disbelief, and his heart was like a cold kiln.
"Troubled times use heavy codes." Wang Xiao stepped forward and said, "Please put aside the right and wrong of good and evil, and just act as an epidemic prevention messenger to teach the people of the world how to behave." ”
As he spoke, he held the torch in Zhou Yan's hand.
"God and God, if there is retribution for this bad karma, I am willing to bear it alone."
"Eight ......"
There was the sound of horses' hooves, and in the distance I saw a column of torches turning out of the valley.
"Nine ......"
Zhou Yan suddenly let go of his hand and shouted to the bottom of the cliff: "Stop! ”
"Ten."
Wang Xiao lowered his eyes and threw down the torch in his hand.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Stop, don't kill them......"
Torches fell on the sacks, and mountains of corpses doused with kerosene burst into flames.
There was a great light in the col.
The firelight reflected the horrified faces of the group in front of them, and behind them, arrows rained down......
~~
In the screams, Feng Xiaoliu stood there in a daze.
There are so many people that there is nowhere to hide, and he doesn't want to hide.
In the confusion, he saw a man who looked like a scholar hiding in a bush, slowly crawling towards the crowd standing on the other side to be quarantined.
"You brought us here, and you still want to leave?!"
Feng Xiaoliu jumped up and threw himself at him.
He grabbed the scholar by the collar and looked at the frightened face of the other man, but he himself began to cry.
"You want to lie to me, even you want to lie to me......"
"Brother Tai, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's escape together, right?"
The next moment, Feng Xiaoliu hugged him and threw himself into the raging fire.
"Brother! Listen to me, as long as we escape, the officers and soldiers will not ...... Yes! ”
In front of me was an incandescent light.
Feng Xiaoliu suddenly thought of the sentence "cherish the blessing" that his mother said and his own sentence "brain work".
He suddenly mourned in his heart and muttered, "Mother, I shouldn't have gone that day......"
~~
On the cliffs.
A bright moon reflects the snow on the mountain tips in the distance.
Zhou Yan closed his eyes and muttered, "Soul...... Return ......"
Wang smiled and stared at the bottom of the cliff.
There, where the fire does not shine, there is deep darkness.
As if gazing into the abyss.
Wang Xiao's heart trembled suddenly......
