Chapter 91: The Son of Heaven's Scheming
The Great Emperor Ji was cured, and the Son of Heaven was very happy, and in addition to rewarding Miao Miao with a lot of things, he also praised the monarch of Chu State, and the rewards were even more. Moreover, openly and covertly, they all said that if the monarch of Chu had the ability to take Zeguo, he would not care.
When Jiang heard the news, he was silent. He clenched the sword in his hand, and gloom spread around him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only him, but all the monks did not look good. Xun Ri, who has always been bold, also became extremely silent, and there was helplessness and unwillingness between his eyebrows and eyes.
In stark contrast to this is the other side of the inn. Migu, who had been smiling for many days, began to laugh wildly, and held a banquet in the midst of wild laughter, feasting all the nobles of the imperial capital, which had the meaning of showing off.
The silk and bamboo are noisy, the singing and dancing are long, and the toasts and laughter are all temptations and provocations that you come and go.
The Son of Heaven threw out a piece of fat, which attracted all the hungry wolves to scramble, and this Son of Heaven seemed to be a ruthless man.
It's just that the Son of Heaven is happy, and the monarch of Chu is also happy, but it is the monks who are about to pay for their joy, and their calculations, how can this make people happy?
For hundreds of years, this has happened again and again, in the past, the princes fought against each other, but now they have to add the calculations of the Son of Heaven. It is foreseeable that with the hint of the Son of Heaven, the Ning, Chu, and Zhao kingdoms that have the ability to fight will start a long battle.
Miao Miao sat beside the spiritual spring in the space, looking at the spirit crystal liquid that had condensed again, and fell into deep thought.
In the past few days, Master and Senior Sister have woken up again. This time she entered the imperial capital, and I don't know what the reason is, she can always unintentionally reap merit, and with the expansion of the green space, everyone in the division has also awakened.
It's just that it hasn't been long since I woke up now, and it can only last for about two hours. When the time comes, I will have to sleep for two days before I wake up. Although he hasn't been sober for a long time, he has some time to cultivate and give himself ideas.
Since he was able to take the initiative to enter and exit the treasure gourd, the masters couldn't see what was going on outside. So while the master was sober, Miao Miao gave him the jade slip she had recorded, and told him about the recent events.
After hearing this, the master did not give any answer, but only asked: "You have healed the Great Emperor Ji, but the Chu State will also take living sacrifices, what should you do?"
Miao Miao lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time before she said, "Although I am angry, I can't do anything." ”
Yan nodded, "It's good that you can think like that." I, who are righteous, will uphold righteousness, but I will also learn to preserve myself. When life is gone, what kind of justice can we talk about? Justice without the power to defend it can only increase tragedy. But it's not like you can't help these poor people......"
Miao Miao's heart moved, and she asked, "What does Master mean?"
"Ghost cultivation is meaningless. ”
Yan Yi sighed, his face was a little gloomy, and he didn't know if it was because of the sacrifice of living people or because of the injustice of heaven. He was silent for a long time, and said: "The more sacrifices, the more resentment, and in the long run, it is easy to breed great demons." If you detain the souls of those mortals and put them in the treasure gourd to nourish them, you can also be regarded as giving them a path of cultivation, so that they will not have too much resentment. ”
Eyes fell on the spiritual spring, Miao Miao thought about the conversation with the master, and for some reason, she suddenly had a bold guess in her heart.
In several countries, there are burials of living people, but there are no people like Chu who sacrifice living people at every turn. In these days in the imperial capital, she didn't just give the emperor Ji a treat. She took the opportunity to give the emperor Ji a medical treatment, found out a lot of news, and had a preliminary understanding of the world.
In the news she received, it seems that only the state of Chu sacrificed living people. Because of this incident, Chu State was even ridiculed. Lu Yan, the great sage of the imperial capital and a scholar, once criticized the living sacrifice of the Chu State.
So, here's the problem.
Why did the state of Chu have to sacrifice living people? Is it just because they believe in witches? Or ......
Is it for some ulterior purpose?
The sacrifice of living people is extremely detrimental to yin morality, and resentment breeds, and all kinds of monsters are very easy to breed, but why has such a system lasted for hundreds of years, but she had never seen real monsters?
This aunt Jin Dan cultivated, because she served the royal family, she didn't have to go out to fight, so don't look at her as a middle-aged woman, she is actually more than one hundred and twenty years old. And such a long-lived person, he has never seen a real demon so far.
As for the Fallen, she had the privilege of meeting one. It's just that she has black lines on her face, but she is conscious and doesn't kill, so she doesn't know what is going on.
Combined with the information she's gathered so far, and the knowledge she has, this is a bit of an anomaly.
In any case, since he is temporarily unable to confront the nobles, then save the souls of mortals, and if he can cultivate, he will gain the Great Dao in the future, which will also be regarded as a merit.
Thinking of this, the heaviness in Miao Miao's heart also disappeared slightly.
Although it was not satisfactory, at least it did what it could.
Thinking of this, he slowly got up, collected all the newly condensed spirit crystal liquid, and planted all kinds of herbs and fruit trees collected in the imperial capital. Today, the green space has more than tripled and can be planted with many things. This trip has greatly enriched her species library, and with the gourd space in hand, the raw materials for alchemy will be much easier to find in the future.
Do all this well, and there is room again.
It was already late at night, and in two days he would leave for Chu State. And tomorrow, I will go to the palace again to thank him in person.
It's funny.
Although the Son of Heaven gave her the title of a county monarch, there was not a word about her fiefdom. Of course, she didn't care about the fiefdom, for her, it was enough to have this identity.
It's just that for some reason, she always feels that this scheming son of heaven will not be so simple to just appoint her as a county monarch, and there may be follow-up work.
With such a conjecture, when Miao Miao entered the palace on the second day to thank her, she waited for a long time and didn't wait for the Son of Heaven to make any requests, but only said something to herself, "Don't fall into the royal family's integrity" and let herself come back.
Miao Miao couldn't figure out what the Son of Heaven was going to do, so she didn't think much about it, and went straight out of the palace.
The matter of returning home is near, and the symptoms of Qi Gu are getting more and more insane. And Mi Gu did not come to seek her treatment, but after she left the palace, Si Kouzhuo actually visited her in person.
Looking at Si Kou Zhuo's haggard appearance, Miao Miao smiled silently in her heart.
She's wicked!
A good person was tortured like this, and she felt a faint sense of pleasure.
suppressed the happiness in his heart, and after pretending to look at it, he took an antidote to the other party. As for the hundred taels of gold, a coral stone and some jewelry sent by the other party, she was not polite and accepted it directly.
After receiving it, he still looked cold, and Si Kouzhuo didn't care, and even gave Miao Miao a copy of his name, bluntly saying that if there was something to write to him, he would definitely help.
After Miao Miao sent the person out of the door, she looked back at Jiang Shi, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Aristocratic bones?
Not a snob?
The identity of Ji's county jun is really easy to use!
