Chapter 347: Hanging Garden (3)

I never believed in fate, especially one that someone else had arranged for me.

Even now, when I'm trapped in Lady Ice's fate, I'm not going to sit idly by and wait for the big explosion to come forty-eight hours later.

There must be something we hadn't thought of, I sat down in another chair, my head in my hands, and pondered.

"Mr. Long, I should have explained the situation to you earlier, at least then, it would have been easier for you to find a way to leave the barracks. You believe in Madame Ice so much, if I say anything more, it will be tantamount to sowing discord between you. Mrs. Bing only has the president in her heart, and the president longs for eternal life, and Mrs. Ice is looking for the art of immortality all over the world, and has entered the Central Plains more than a dozen times, whether it is the Three Immortal Mountains in the East China Sea, Sumatra Island in Southeast Asia, or the Nyingchi Xianshu Mountain in Tibet, she has run all over. We all know that she is willing to do anything for the sake of the president. This time, the Wandering Ghost Country has already threatened the president's safety, so she made up her mind to completely eliminate the Wandering Ghost Country...... If you ask me why I accept this task, my answer is simple - exchange. I carried out this suicide mission, and several of my family members who were imprisoned in the Baihualin Prison in the capital were released, and they were safe and safe for the rest of their lives...... It's a good deal, Lady Ice and I have what we want, but we shouldn't be dragging you down......" Joyna's voice grew deeper and deeper, like a weary bird about to perch on the cold branches of the deserted grave, waiting for the call of death.

"Eternal life? You just said that the president wants eternal life? "I caught the flash of inspiration in Joyna's words.

"Yes, all great men pray for eternal life." Joyna replied.

"How did he live forever? Is it eternal life to live forever or to gasp forever? I thought about it, I thought about it, I thought about it...... "I've had an epiphany and found the key to solving the problem." Since Joyna's "death" would have triggered a nuclear explosion, the reverse inference is that as long as she "doesn't die", the nuclear explosion will not occur. Now, it is enough to make her "immortal", and there is no need to consider other conditions at all.

Lady Ice wants Joyna dead, but I've found a way to keep Joyna alive forever, and that is to keep her in a state of "immortality, immortality" like those imprisoned in the Temple of the Indigo, to ensure that her pulse is always beating.

It's just that this way of dealing with it is too unfair to Joyna, because after she enters the state of "living mummy", she can no longer return to her original appearance and cannot live a normal life. Even from the perspective of reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism, if she is "immortal" in this life, she will never enter the stage of "reincarnation" and become a unique individual suspended between life and death.

She is "immortal", but also "eternal death".

"Mr. Long, what did you think of?" Joyna asked.

I suppressed the ecstasy and uneasiness in my heart, and calmly asked, "If I have a way to save your family, but I need you to make another huge effort, would you be willing?" ”

"As long as I can save my family, I'm willing to do anything." Joyna replied.

I nodded heavily, "I swear I'll save your family, but you have to cooperate with the Wandering Ghost Kingdom and make yourself like those people in the Divine Temple, okay?" ”

It took a minute for Joyna to understand what I meant.

It was not an easy decision to make, and those trapped in the temple were better than dead, but there was nothing they could do. Compared with "immortality", "death" has become a way to change one's destiny. Joyna can still make her own decisions, whether she dies or not, it's up to her. Once she entered the temple, she couldn't go back.

"I really...... Can't make a decision, can't make a decision......" After thinking for a while, Joyna shook her head again and again, the expression on her face was extremely bitter.

I understand how she feels, it's a really difficult decision to make.

"I'll go out first, you think for yourself." I stood up and opened the door.

Zoya was still outside the door, and the expression on her face was very complicated.

I closed the door and walked slowly to the right. There was a window on the wall, but it was so white outside the window that you couldn't see anything.

"I heard what you said." Zoya said.

My lips were extremely dry and my voice was hoarse: "I can only say that, there is no other way...... It's a cruel thing, cruel to others, and cruel to yourself. If it were me, what would I do? Life is better than death...... Is it better than dying immediately? Or worse? ”

In fact, my heart bleeds when I brutally forced Joyna to make such a cruel decision.

"I know." Zoya's answer was beyond my expectations.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"The cicada's eggs fall under the tree, burrow seven feet into the ground with the wind and rain, and then grow slowly. Before breaking the ground, it was alive, but it didn't know why it was alive, which was tantamount to life as death. When the ground is broken and the shell is shed, it becomes a real cicada, able to sing in the branches, and at this time, it is truly alive. In autumn, the cicada will surely die, decay to ashes, and begin the next cycle. We often compare practitioners to cicadas, as long as they have hope in their hearts, whether in the soil or in the treetops, they are alive and can live with hope. Zoya replied.

I hope that Joyna will have hope, so that when she is permanently imprisoned in the temple of the Devil, there will be no more pain.

"I don't know if I can convince her, I'm not sure." I'll be honest.

If that were the case, I would have less than forty-eight hours left in my life. Eventually, a mushroom cloud will rise into the sky and rise to the western sky.

So far, the greatest tragedy of mankind in the world is World War I and World War II, and the invention of nuclear weapons is the tragedy of tragedy.

Otherwise, no matter how high a person's martial arts and ability are, he can kill a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people at most, and he will be promoted from an ordinary pawn to a centurion, a thousand, and a thousand-thousand-commander in the army.

Today, the president of a major country controls nuclear weapons alone, and with the push of a button, he will destroy a country, half a continent, or even the entire planet.

This kind of lethality is even better than the ancient god of war.

"You can do it, and any problem that comes to you will be solved." Zoya said.

I smiled wryly: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The key to this is Joyna's perspective on life, and no one else can help.

"Our leader is coming." Zoya said.

In the distance, the beautiful woman known as the "Sun and Moon Niang" came slowly.

She not only has a beautiful and charming appearance, but more importantly, her body exudes a powerful aura from the inside out, revealing nobility, majesty, rigor, and arrogance that no one can match.

There are so many female high-ranking officials, female tycoons, European noblewomen, American socialites, and French grandians on Hong Kong Island, but none of them have the unique graceful style of Sun Moon Niang.

When she walked in front of me, it seemed to bring a whole spring garden, making me feel like a spring breeze, smelling the fragrance of flowers, listening to the birds, and seeing the spring light.

"How can you be so slow to treat your guests?" Sun Moon Niang looked at me, and the corner of her eye swept towards Zoya.

"Yes, Mr. Long, please come over hereβ€”" Zoya hung her head, respectfully leading the way.

"Please, the VIPs of the Wandering Ghost Country should be treated with the highest courtesy." Sun Moon Niang said.

In her smiling eyes, I felt like I had stepped into the whirlpool of history, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy.

We entered another hall, and although the interior was also white, the walls on all four sides were covered with intricate reliefs, which was refreshing.

Zoya offered tea, the tea was fragrant, but the tea was also colorless, and there was not a single tea in the cup.

I glanced at the relief a few times, and immediately understood that the carving on it was the life of Sun Moon Niang.

"We need a very important opportunity to communicate, and we have always maintained a relationship of interdependence with the great powers of the North. When there is a conflict between the two sides, I have always warned my subordinates to refrain from tolerance and not to act recklessly. However, this time, the northern powers are determined to destroy the Wandering Ghost Country, and even small nuclear weapons are used. You say, how can I back down? Sun Moon Niang asked.

"I've made an effort, and it's still unknown whether Joyna will be able to accept my advice." I replied.

Ri Yueniang frowned and shook her head: "This is a big threat, but I am more worried about the latter than the uncooperative attitude of the northern powers." Therefore, I must ask for your help to make it possible for all forces to sign an alliance and completely eliminate the war and disaster in the north. ”

"Settle Joyna's business, okay?" I say.

Until now, I wasn't sure I could convince Joyna.

It's a matter of life and death, and she needs to think about it for a longer time before she can make a decision. If her answer is not to cooperate, then Sun Moon Niang and I will be affected, and we will both risk our lives greatly.

"It's a word, don't Mr. Long shirk when the time comes?" Sun Moon Niang's frowning brows softened slightly.

In human society, all interest relationships are "insufficient and more than enough". These big men who command the big forces don't even understand this truth, they just rely on their strength to grab it wantonly, and fill their warehouses first.

If this continues, the vision and practices of the forces in the rivers and lakes will become lower and lower, and they will gradually return to the single law of the jungle in nature.

At the end of the relief, there is a bronze statue of the famous Luoyang Empress in history.

It is a work that the empress is proud of, unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is her unique and great creation.

In the relief, someone flew up from the highest place of the Tongtian Futu, walked and sang on the white clouds, and walked into the depths of the clouds and mist.

If that's the true ending of the empress, it's really enough to be gratifying. The empress created an era, and she was naturally entitled to enjoy the worship of all the people, leaving a strong mark in history.

"From there, what has your excellency experienced here?" I asked.

"It is a huge sublimation, reborn, the world is wide, and suddenly all the previous intrigues are put down. At the same time, I also understood the responsibility and pressure on the shoulders of the 'emperor'. I came here to help the people of the Wandering Ghost Country re-enter the stage of history and not let the northern powers monopolize the leader. These words are high-sounding and upright, and they are indeed what those who do great things should say.

It's a pity that I know that behind these words must be hidden her original intention.

Man is a selfish animal, if she is not selfish, how can she give up another identity and start over here?

"I can help you lead the negotiations, but these things involve too many forces, and it is still unknown whether we can finally achieve a result that satisfies everyone." I say.

It's not easy to keep everyone in the big group happy.

"I just want to hear a word from the Great Emperor of the North." Sun Moon Niang said.

"Politicians are monsters who tell lies, how can what he says be true?" I asked.

"He won't lie to me, even if he deceives all the people in the world, he alone won't lie to me. Without me, he would not have been able to ascend to the throne and destroy the rebels in his territory in one fell swoop. She said.

Who the rebels refer to, anyone familiar with international news knows.

Now, the rebellion is over, the north is gradually stable, everyone thinks that it is the credit of the Northern Emperor, but they don't know at all that it is because someone is making plans behind the scenes, that there is a new situation in which today's northern power is thriving, and there is also this hanging garden.
