Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Past of Dreams
The old emperor was full of joy, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty regarded the ancestor of Zhumeng as a celestial.
The emperor originally wanted to enshrine Zhumeng Patriarch as the national teacher, but Zhumeng has always disliked to participate in politics, and if he walks into the court, it is likely to cause disaster.
At this time, the battle between Zhumengren and the demon entered the white-hot stage, and in some of the previous battles, it was inevitable that there would be things that hurt the innocent and even provoked the official government, and the ancestor of Zhumeng took this opportunity to confess all the ins and outs to the old emperor, and begged the old emperor to be open to the actions of the Zhumengren.
At that time, the old emperor was at the time of the dragon's heart, and the request of the ancestor of Zhumeng was approved by the old emperor very smoothly.
From then on, the Dream Warrior began to gain an advantage in the battle to capture the mirror.
In the case that there were people who punished dreams in the front and the aftermath of the officers and soldiers, even if they were as powerful as demons, they had to gradually turn their merits into defense, and gradually accepted the defeat in the battle to seize the mirror.
Then the demons gradually retreated, and with the help of the official army, the Dream Killer searched for almost all the bronze mirrors with potential.
The ambitious Zhumeng Patriarch thought that the time had come, and was about to plan to launch a showdown with the demons, but unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly heard bad news, and the old emperor in the palace suddenly became critically ill again, and urgently summoned the Zhumeng Patriarch into the palace.
Patriarch Zhumeng had to postpone his plans to come to the palace.
In the old emperor's bedroom, the ancestor of Zhumeng once again used the secret technique of Zhumeng to help the old emperor kill the demons.
But to his surprise, he had been guarding the old emperor's bedroom for three days and three nights, but he didn't find a single demon in the old emperor's dream.
Patriarch Zhumeng immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately applied to the empress to go to the old emperor's bed to see what was going on, but did not get the empress's permission.
What surprised Patriarch Zhumeng even more was that when he was full of doubts and just wanted to leave the palace, the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the dormitory suddenly made an attack and detained Patriarch Zhumeng on the spot in the name of the queen.
Patriarch Zhumeng was then escorted to the Ciyuan Hall where the queen was located in the deep palace for two full hours, and these two hours were two hours of critical anomalies for both the court and the ancestor of Zhumeng.
Two hours later, Patriarch Zhumeng was released from the Ciyuan Palace, but he already seemed to be a different person.
The Zhumeng Patriarch who was in the prime of life was originally a heroic and majestic half-immortal body, but after coming out of the Ciyuan Palace, he actually had white hair and eyes full of vicissitudes, and his body was not at all like a mage with strange arts, and he looked like a weak old man who had been hollowed out.
On the night when Patriarch Zhumeng left the palace, the old emperor was funeral.
The next day, while the world was still immersed in speculation about the sudden death of the emperor, the crown prince announced that he had ascended the throne as the new emperor.
It is said that on the night of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he secretly instructed the prince's private armed forces to start a comprehensive strangulation of the Zhumeng lineage.
Because when the ancestor of Zhumeng told the old emperor and the situation of Zhumeng, the prince was also present at the time, so the prince knew everything about Zhumeng Patriarch and Zhumeng, and this catastrophe against Zhumeng soon made most of the Zhumeng descendants be secretly executed, and the bronze mirror with magic held by Zhumeng was nowhere to be found.
After leaving the palace, the ancestor of Zhumeng did not contact any disciples, and directly began to live incognito, avoiding pursuit and killing, and let the government and the demons kill all the Zhumeng people, and did not appear again.
It wasn't until eleven years later that by chance, Patriarch Zhumeng found a mirror-casting artifact hidden in the cabin on a ship, and then he met the mirror-making family - the Dou family.
The Dou clan has been making a living by casting mirrors for a long time, but due to the same fate as the Zhumeng people, they have been hiding everywhere, and the ancestor of Zhumeng actually met the mirror maker Dou Shaoqing at that time by mistake, which can really be described as the reincarnation of heaven.
The two hit it off at first sight, and after learning the identity of the Zhumeng Patriarch, Dou Shaoqing began to introduce his mirror-making skills in detail, and was willing to assist the Zhumeng Patriarch to eradicate the demons in his heart.
The ancestor of Zhumeng, who had been disheartened for many years, was infected by Dou Shaoqing's blood, rekindled his fighting spirit, and vowed to complete his mission and avenge the deceased Zhumengmen people.
In the following years, the two of them hid everywhere, casting a total of twelve divine mirrors in the deep mountains and old forests, and the mirrors of these divine mirrors contained powerful spiritual powers, some of which were ancient spirit beasts and some of which were powerful mana.
Later, the Zhumeng Patriarch embarked on a journey again, secretly gathered eleven Zhumeng descendants scattered all over the place, and handed over eleven divine mirrors to them to use to practice their skills.
Three years later, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Meng Patriarch took Dou Shaoqing and eleven other people into the dream world, broke into the demon capital without any preparation, and launched a tragic battle with the Heart Demon Emperor that changed the color of heaven and earth.
Although the Heart Demon Emperor was not prepared to defend himself, his powerful and domineering power still caused the Dream Killer to suffer heavy losses.
In the end, when the Zhumeng Patriarch used the Wuluo Shenjian to eliminate and seal the Heart Demon Emperor, this team of thirteen people only left the Zhumeng Patriarch, Dou Shaoqing and a Zhumeng heir.
After returning to reality, the three of them hid incognito again, and the ancestor of Zhumeng had ups and downs in his life, and at this time he had completed his life's wish, and passed away soon after.
Before he passed away, the ancestor of Zhumeng told Dou Shaoqing about the conversation with the queen in the Ciyuan Palace, and the biggest mystery in the Zhumeng Gate was finally solved.
At that time, in addition to the Imperial Forest Army, there were three people in the Ciyuan Palace, the queen, the prince and the national teacher.
At that time, the crown prince had been established as the prince for more than ten years, and he was obedient on the surface in front of the old emperor, but deep down he couldn't wait to ascend to the throne, and he colluded with his mother, the queen, and had long planned to ascend the throne immediately after the death of the old emperor, in case there was a change.
Originally, the national teacher did not participate in this incident, but since the ancestor of Zhumeng cured the old emperor's illness overnight, the national teacher also began to panic, because in contrast, his own national teacher has been giving the old emperor the elixir day and night, and although he has worked hard for a long time, he has not cured the old emperor.
Sure enough, the old emperor wanted to enshrine the ancestor of Zhumeng as the national teacher and replace him, if it was really implemented, he who already knew the mandate of heaven would have no chance to turn over again, and it would be difficult for him to gain power again in the future.
Although the ancestor of Zhumeng did not accept the edict in the end, the fear and uneasiness in the heart of the national teacher who was poor in donkey skills had reached the extreme, and he was gradually controlled by the demons in his heart.
Originally, the Heart Demon Emperor was deeply disturbed by the defeat in the Battle of the Mirror, and for a while he suffered from having no good strategy to fight against the Dream Killer, and the proximity of the National Teacher at this time was tantamount to providing it with a good opportunity. The demon who lost in the frontal battlefield began to use the national teacher to plot against the Dream Killer in the court.
