Chapter 49: Killing
People in this world, whether mortals or monks, can not escape a Vanity Fair formation of ecstasy, where can the people in the array wake up on their own?
It's like Tang Ao died in prison in a dream, only when he died did he realize that all the previous things were in vain, just a dream.
Life in the world often can't see through this, Tang Ao also "died" once, experienced the ups and downs of life in a dream, and realized that there is no country of gentlemen in this world.
Tang Ao can already be sure that he is still in a dream, but it is not easy to break the dream, first of all, it is difficult to prove that this is a dream, how can he do it?
It is creepy to think about a person who knows that he is dreaming, but he cannot wake up from the dream.
Tang Ao stood on a high place and looked at the still burning Gucheng, a flash of spiritual light flashed in his mind, without alarming anyone, and quietly disappeared into the night, going in the direction of the destroyed Gucheng.
The closer he got to Gucheng, the more cautious Tang Ao became, at this time Gucheng had turned into a ruined wall, and the fire in the city reflected the nearby as if it were daylight.
In the flames everywhere, Tang Ao saw a lot of fierce beasts, each of which was similar to the strange sculpture of the poor divine beast, they sniffed carefully everywhere, as if they were devouring something.
Tang Ao couldn't see clearly, and was about to get closer, when countless poor beasts all pricked up their ears in an instant, and they all turned into wisps of smoke and dust, and these smoke and dust converged into a vague appearance, which was the appearance of the strange beast in the middle of the Jinluan Hall of the Gentleman's Kingdom.
"Is the key to breaking the dream the sculpture of that divine beast?" Tang Ao faintly felt that he had found a critical place, and then the hair on his whole body stood up involuntarily, and he slowly leaned down, not daring to move.
I saw that the Tenggen Beast, which Tang Ao had loved so much before, slowly walked towards the Divine Beast Phantom, and there seemed to be some communication between the two, the Phantom seemed to be commanding something, and the Tenggen Beast nodded frequently.
It wasn't until the Tenggen Beast left and the illusory shadow of the Divine Beast slowly dispersed that Tang Ao stood up and said coldly: "It seems that not only the Divine Beast has a problem, even if this Gentleman's Kingdom is not false, the fierce beasts around everyone are afraid that there are also strange things." ”
Tang Ao returned to the place where he was encamped, and quietly issued the order to continue retreating, Tang Ao couldn't wait to return to the capital of the Junzi Kingdom to see the statue of the divine beast Qiqi, and his intuition told Tang Ao that it would be the node and key to his true heart.
Along the way, because of his vigilance, Tang Ao often observed the Tenggen beasts around him, as well as the fierce beasts around others.
Although he can't see the abnormality, Tang Ao always has a hunch that what really sways people to abide by the way of a gentleman is the beast around him, and it is ridiculous to think about it carefully, jackals, tigers and leopards also know the way of a gentleman?
The more he adhered to his original heart, the more Tang Ao felt that the whole country of the gentleman was a joke, and he was familiar with the books of the sages and sages, and he fell into such a dream unknowingly, and he was ashamed of the sages.
Half a month later, Tang Ao came to the outside of the capital of Junzi with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and he already knew that he might be attacked by the ministers.
The whole country of the gentleman felt that Tang Ao had survived countless lives, and although he lost the city and lost his land, he still welcomed Tang Ao into the city with grand etiquette.
Tang Ao led the troops outside, with a murderous aura, it was not appropriate to face the golden palace immediately, and after returning to the mansion, Tang Ao locked himself in the study.
Knowing that the problem was solved on the sculpture of the divine beast in the Golden Temple, but how to break the dream, Tang Ao was still a little confused, should he just smash the sculpture?
Tang Ao thinks that brute force can't do it, then return the other way, tomorrow in the court, you might as well come to Handan to learn to see if there will be the scene in the dream.
Mooing sound, Tang Ao saw the food in his mouth, a dedicated Tenggen beast, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, at first Tang Ao thought that this beast was very wonderful and extraordinary, very fond of it.
Now look at it again, what kind of auspicious beast, it is clearly an evil beast that punishes good and promotes evil, the people of the gentleman country are benevolent and moral on the surface, but the rotten wood behind their backs is inseparable, and this Tenggen beast and the sculpture of the divine beast on the Golden Temple are absolutely inseparable.
Tang Ao knew that the nature of the Tenggen Beast should be close to the wicked, hating the virtuous, and contrary to the purpose of the Junzi Kingdom, but he did not show the slightest, he took the food offered by the Tenggen Beast with both hands, and said the words that the Tenggen Beast liked to listen to while eating, Tang Ao assured that the Tenggen Beast could understand and understand, and it could be regarded as paralyzing the other party!
After eating the food offered by the Tenggen Beast, Tang Ao accidentally had a thought in his heart, and suddenly couldn't sit still, so he immediately rode on the Tenggen Beast and went straight to Yue Xiaoqun's mansion.
"This ...... How this makes. Yue Xiaoqun greeted Tang Ao to his seat, and after listening to Tang Ao's words, the whole person was no longer as clever and talkative as before, and Nene's words were incomplete.
Tang Ao looked at the two fierce tigers behind Yue Xiaoqun, stretched out his hand and patted Yue Xiaoqun on the shoulder: "Brother Xian, this matter is settled." ”
Tang Ao didn't give Yue Xiaoqun another chance to speak, and hurriedly left Yue Xiaoqun's mansion, Yue Xiaoqun sent Tang Ao away, standing in place stupidly, and muttered in his mouth: "In this way, is it the way of a gentleman?" But why do I think Tang Aotang is reasonable? ”
In the capital of the Junzi Kingdom this night, Tang Ao visited the three princes and nine kings in addition to him one after another, plus dozens of the pillar ministers of the Junzi Kingdom.
Tang Ao licked his almost worn mouth, his face was radiant, and he said to himself: "Since it is a dream, you have to do it bigger, my actions should be more in line with the so-called gentleman's way!" ”
The bells and drums rang in unison, the time of the dynasty was up, Tang Ao tidied up his appearance, rode the Tenggen Beast directly to the outside of the Jinluan Palace, and after coming down, he reached out and touched the forehead of the Tenggen Beast, and without waiting for the Tenggen Beast to rub intimately, Tang Ao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and strode into the Jinluan Palace.
Tang Aogui is a lieutenant, and he is the highest military governor of the Junzi Kingdom except for the lord of the country, and this morning, the only point is that Tang Ao has lost more than a dozen cities one after another without a defeat.
Tang Ao must justify his actions and tell the truth that he is ugly, otherwise he will have to pay the responsibility and price for it.
The civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and Liu Yi, the lord of the gentleman's country, sat on the dragon chair and looked at Tang Ao: "Tang Aiqing, how is the battle situation?" ”
Tang Ao came out and said: "The lord of the country, God bless my country, Weichen fortunately did not disgrace his life, and saved more than 720,000 people, and no one was poisoned by Tianyuan country." ”
After Tang Ao finished speaking, the corner of his eye looked at Yue Xiaoqun not far away, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Yue Xiaoqun hesitated for a moment, and then went out and played: "The lord of the country is wise, the Lord Taiwei is mighty, the country of the gentleman has never suffered from the poison of war, today the Yuan country is picking quarrels and breeding wars, and there is no casualty in our country, it is really the lord of the country who is wise and powerful, and the true dragon son is not as good as it." ”
Liu Yi immediately humbly said: "The widow has already drafted the edict of his own guilt, and the words of the two Aiqing are worthy of the widow!" ”
Doctor Yu Shi said solemnly: "The lord of the country is wrong! A gentleman works all day long, and if he is not to blame, it is not a gentleman's act to be self-contemptuous. ”
Another minister came out and said: "The lord of the country will open the foundation of the country, create peace for all generations, and we should start with this time, we are willing to drive for the lord of the country, attach Ji Mingjun, do not seek to live for a hundred generations, but wish to show the heart of a gentleman." ”
Liu Yi hurriedly got up and said: "Aiqing is serious, the widow creates a country of gentlemen, does not seek fame, does not seek profit, only seeks a clear conscience, everyone is like a dragon, such words, do you want to be ashamed of the widow?" ”
“……”
Tang Ao saw one courtier after another standing up and praising the lord Liu Yi, and couldn't help but think of the traders who had just arrived in the Gucheng bazaar of the Junzi Kingdom.
It is normal for people to ask for money to pay back, but in the country of gentlemen, it is diametrically opposed, if the truth is interconnected, what will be the consequences if it is like this in the Jinluan Palace? Tang Ao knew that he would be able to see it soon.
The ministers held the lord Liu Yi higher and higher, Yao Shunyu Tang was unattainable, and Liu Yi despised himself as much as possible, and finally said the scene that Tang Ao was most looking forward to.
Liu Yi shook the sleeves of his robe, and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you are such a lord of the country, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, you will hang the jade seal of the country here today, and the widow will go." ”
According to the customs of the gentleman's country, the next ministers must do everything possible to keep them, and after three pushes and three concessions, they are still the king's ministers, fathers and sons.
But just when the lord of the country, Liu Yi, hung the jade seal in front of the bookcase and had not moved his hand, Tang Ao entered and snatched the jade seal of the country in his hand.
Tang Ao acted like this, and the whole hall was shocked, because last night, Tang Ao's secret meeting with hundreds of officials did not say so.
Tang Ao took advantage of the time when the lord Liu Yi and the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, holding the jade seal in both hands, and said loudly: On the occasion of the Three Emperors, the father died and the son followed the brother and the brother, and when the Five Emperors were the time, the world made the way for the public Zen, although the micro-ministers were not as good as the lord of the country to open the foundation of the country, but more than 720,000 people lived at the time of the national war, and no one could reach the ancient sages, and he was really a true ......gentleman."
Tang Ao didn't have any self-humility, but first mentioned Chan Rang, and then praised himself a lot, but no one could find fault with it, after all, Tang Ao saved hundreds of thousands of people, and he had the prestige to pick up the jade seal.
So not according to the rules of the cards, free from the routine, so that the lords and courtiers who are accustomed to the rules of the gentleman's country, look at each other, do not know how to continue, Jinluan Hall fell into the silence of the falling needle.
Tang Ao held the jade seal in his hand, staring at the Divine Beast Qiqi sculpture in the middle of the Golden Palace, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal in the sculpture, he flickered in his heart and secretly wondered: "Could it be that my analysis is wrong?" Isn't the key to breaking dreams here? Or am I dreaming big enough? ”
Just when Tang Ao hesitated, the eyes of the divine beast sculpture suddenly moved, and then the entire sculpture came to life in an instant.
Tang Ao felt dizzy in front of him, and the jade seal in his hand was extremely heavy, but he finally kept a trace of clarity and did not miss and threw away the jade seal.
What made Tang Ao even more shocked was that with the activities of the Divine Beast, whether it was Liu Yi, the lord of the Golden Palace, or the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces under the Golden Palace, they turned into green smoke one by one, and all of them were sucked into the mouth and nose by the Divine Beast, and finally even the Jinluan Hall disappeared.
In the dark background, only the divine beasts Qi Qi and Tang Ao were left.
