Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Soul That Doesn't Exist

When the others left, Ji Le was slumped on the table, lazy like a cat.

Cangjie, who was sitting beside him, shook his head secretly: "His Royal Highness the National Spirit, image, pay attention to the image." ”

Ji Le's face was full of indifference: "It's okay, now besides the three of us, is there anyone else in the hall?"

Cangjie, the young man left and the right, and even those witches were temporarily repatriated.

"I pretended to be a serious national spirit in front of outsiders. But privately, you have to give me a little space. ”

These days, I have been nervous, thinking about business all day long, and Ji Le is also very tired.

Cangjie was helpless, but if you think about it carefully, Ji Le is just a modern ordinary person, and he has indeed suffered a lot when he is the embodiment of a country and takes on heavy responsibilities.

"How does your body feel today?"

"Today was fine. As long as Yang Ke doesn't toss, my body is fine. By the way, Zhao Qian and the others went to look for you?"

"Gone, something has been given to them. However, it is unknown whether the five poultry operas can have miraculous effects in this world. ”

"In addition to the five bird plays, there are also eight eight brocades, tai chi and so on. Take your time and always find a way. It's really not good, try our broadcast gymnastics after the founding of the country?"

Seeing that Ji Le was full of confidence, Cangjie was not good at hitting him, so he asked instead: "Why didn't I see you descend today." ”

"I haven't done it yet, I'm going to do it tonight. I want to descend a woman, and it is best to choose the yin time, which is initially set at the unitary time or the sea time. ”

"Women?"

"A woman of the Shang Dynasty who was good at military affairs. ”

Speaking of which, Shi Huang had already guessed who it was: "Are you sure......?

"I'll take it well if I fail. Rest assured, Tahei's mistake will not be repeated. Ji Le stretched and got up to move: "What does the boss think, how did I behave just now?"

Becoming a national spirit, although Ji Le never complained to the outside world, he was uneasy in his heart, for fear that some of his wrong decisions would cause the country to go down a road of destruction.

Therefore, every time he finished doing something, Ji Le had to think about it repeatedly, ask the young man and Emperor Shi, and look for his flaws in this matter.

To paraphrase the words of Ji Le's friend: "Daily reflection and humble admonition are your rare advantages." Youth, do it and cherish it. ”

Looking at the young man's face full of antiquation and inquiry, Cangjie stroked his beard, quite a sense of pride in the growth of his own children and grandchildren: "Kill chickens and monkeys, give them virtue, and force them to change their crowns." Then select the role models from these lands to commend them, and urge these barbarian spirits to move closer to my Zhuxia. The idea is good, the action is acceptable, and there are no major problems. ”

Ji Le was a little relieved when he heard the pertinent reply. Then he turned to the youth: "What do you say?"

The young man lowered his head and thought silently.

"Hey, who's who, Anonymous, ask you!"

"Huh?" The young man suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw Ji Le and Cangjie looking at him, he was stunned and said, "What?"

"I said—you came back from the Chengtian Temple yesterday, and that's all it takes. I can't sense the divinity of the soldier, so I won't be sad like this. ”

The young man's expression was gloomy: "I'm not interested in the divinity of others. Even if you can obtain the divinity of the soldier master, you don't bother to take it. ”

Yesterday, Ji Le took the young man to the Chengtian Temple, one of the purposes was to let the young man seek the divinity of the soldier master and pave the way for him to become a god. But the young man didn't take action in the end, and when he returned, he was silent, which made Ji Le very unaccustomed.

Cangjie saw that the young man's mood was wrong, and he was also concerned about asking.

"Nothing. The young man was depressed, but he still respectfully thanked Shi Huang for his concern.

He was a man of pride of heart. In his time, no, he was also a bright and shining star in the long history of China.

At the beginning of the young man's crossing, he thought he could protect Ji Le with his own force. But now it seems that in the face of a god-level battle, he can't help at all.

For example, those giants who are huge in size cannot fight against them at all with his strength.

It is true that after crossing over, he has received a lot of blessings, and his combat power has doubled. But isn't it the same with the other heroes who descended? Shi Huang ascended to the divine throne immediately after his arrival, and the blessings he received were far greater than his own.

But apart from force, the only thing he is good at is military strategy. And in this regard, young people dare not say that they are the first in the world. Regardless of his uncle, as well as several famous veterans of the Han Dynasty. In the pre-Qin era, there were many outstanding people, and each of them was the ancestor of the art of war.

If you don't even have the uniqueness of military strategy, then what is the purpose of waking up from your slumber?

Even Tian Ping can show his strength in the Peasant Palace, so where is my stage?

This is the most depressing part of the hearts of young people. He understands that Ji Le is not to blame. The military and political power of the Xia State is in the hands of Yang Ke, and it will not be handed over to a stranger casually. And the female soldier that Ji Le wants to establish, compared to himself, a female general is a more suitable candidate.

But if you don't master the power of the army, will you always be nested in the Spirit Palace?

Indeed, Ji Le intends to help him seek the divinity of the soldier master. However, the divinity of others, even if they are the gods of war, do not disdain to plunder with the pride of youth.

The young man didn't want to tell outsiders about his depression and grievances, and Shi Huangshi seemed to be aware of it, so he simply helped him divert the topic: "Your Highness, you just said that you went to Chengtian Hall yesterday?"

"That's right, a small-scale sacrifice, after all, someone has to make a statement. Xia Guo cannot isolate himself from the gods, someone must bow his head. But Yang Ke doesn't show up, who will go if I don't go?"

"It's embarrassing for Your Highness. ”

"If the boss really thinks I'm wronged, hurry up and become a god. If there is one more god in the Xia Kingdom, then there will be a guarantee. ”

"Heavenly God?" Cangjie shook his head: "It's not easy to say!"

Shi Huang's family sensed in the dark that the boundary between demigods and heavenly gods was out of reach, and it was accompanied by a great crisis.

"Let's see. It has just come, and it is all nonsense to talk about the preaching of the gods. ”

Hearing Shi Huang's words, Ji Le stopped talking.

"What, Your Highness has something to ask?"

"Old man, you said that we are currently at the peak of the Age of Mythology. Every time a new phenomenon or concept emerges, a god may be born. So, can we start with that?"

Yang Ke couldn't count on it.

In other words, he has cheated others. If you follow the plan of the Yang family, Wang Shen is definitely a brand new concept. If the concept of war can be transformed into war, then the symbol of the country's royal power can be sublimated, and it can also become the god of royal power.

This is another path parallel to the spirit of the nation, and it can also get the support of the countries of the earth. After all, this is a path that can be followed not only by one person, but also by the rulers of other countries.

By co-opting the monarchs of all countries, the next step of the Young family can be promoted, and the whole world will be guided into an era of humane prosperity. Replace the gods of nature with humane gods, and let the gods of heaven retreat into the background, moving from the age of mythology to the age of heroes, or eventually the age of mortals in power.

However, not long after the plan, there was Ji Le's accident, and Yang's humanitarian plan for the future was forced to be cut in half.

"Is it accidental, or inevitable, or ......"

Cangjie's face changed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Your Highness is cautious!"

No matter why Ji Le became a national spirit, Yang's plan is now unrealizable. With the appearance of the national spirit, the king god has become a joke. As the national spirit, Ji Le and his fellow national spirits of other countries categorically did not allow the kings and gods to rise.

Cangjie said with a cold face: "A plan of empty talk, there is no room for discussion. ”

"It's me Meng Lang. Ji Le reacted immediately.

You can do this kind of thing, but you can't publicize it in public. Otherwise, I'm afraid that those gods won't hear it?

But Ji Le immediately said: "Even if that plan fails, the gods of the humanistic concept are not impossible to consider. ”

"What god throne does Your Highness plan to establish?"

"There are many gods in the concept of humanity, and the god of love, the god of war, the god of wealth, and so on are all very good. But if you want to talk about strength, it is naturally the god of death. Open up the underworld and be the lord of Hades, then you can compete with the god king. ”

The death of animals, the death of plants, the death of mortals, and even the death of gods. If the death of the gods is brought under the control of the underworld, it is enough for the Xia Kingdom to protect itself, no, it is to dominate the entire earth.

"Yin Lord?" Cangjie lowered his head in thought.

Indeed, the feasibility of the Grim Reaper is great, and it is beneficial to the Xia Kingdom. It's just that this one was chosen...... Artemisia Jun, Taishan Mansion Jun, Tubo Youzhu, Ten Palaces Hades...... Which is better?

Suddenly, Shi Huang's family remembered one thing: now that the soul is in the arms of the national spirit, if he really wants to launch a god of death, it will inevitably divide Ji Le's power.

"So-" Cangjie's eyes sharpened: "Is Your Highness planning to prepare a way back for yourself?"

Ji Le laughed dryly twice, but did not refute.

Fang Immortal Dao's detachment method, the god sealing technique on the Shinto side, blooming on both sides, this is safe. If it weren't for the fact that the young man's side had not made much progress, he would have planned to start the third path from the martial arts.

"You-" Shi Huang wanted to rebuke Guo Ling's idea of running away. But if you think about it carefully, an ordinary person will become the spirit of the country, and in the future, the country will be there, and the country will perish. This is a sacrifice standing on the altar, what can he say, and what qualifications can he speak?

When you become a god, you will truly live forever, and your lifespan will be measured in thousands of years. And how long is the lifespan of a country? 300 years, 500 years? On this otherworldly continent, many countries cannot even support it for 300 years, and they disappear into the vast rivers and mountains, and there is no news of it.

The national spirit seems to have the status of a god, but the lifespan of the national spirit is too short.

It is no wonder that His Highness wants to find a way out for himself. After all, if you change places, you are not willing to die out in this era in just three or five hundred years, right?

Thinking of this, Cangjie felt a headache. Look at the depressed young man, and then look at the scheming Ji Le.

"These two boys are so young. ”

When you are young, you have so many cranky thoughts and such a high level of action. An old man like Cangjie prefers to take a safe path and be pragmatic every day, where do you have the heart to think so much?

"I'm a good historian, and I'm not a psychiatrist, why do I have to take care of the psychological condition of both of them?"

Liberate the youth, comfort Ji Le, and a bunch of work waiting for him in the school palace.

The old man suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Huang said euphemistically: "It's not that the god of the underworld can't be considered. But the key is, where does the soul return? The Nine Netherlands need to be purchased in advance. How to build this place, has Your Highness considered it?"

"There is Fengdu Mountain in the homeland, and it is good to use Lingshan here. When the time comes, establish the city of the underworld and create the kingdom of the dead. In this way, even if I don't transform into a god, there may be another way as a national spirit. ”

Even if the Xia Kingdom of the Yang World is destroyed, as long as the ghost kingdom of the underworld is still there, Ji Le may still be able to survive as a national spirit for a while. Wait for the human state to be re-established, and then it can be revitalized.

"Even if you don't transform into the Grim Reaper, that's fine. ”

Hearing Ji Le's words, Shi Huang nodded. That's a good idea. Yin and yang bloom on both sides, and have two national spiritual foundations, which can preserve themselves from destruction.

"Can you think about the person who will take care of Yin City? Where did you get the manpower in the initial planning and construction stage?"

"The ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially Yang Ke and his ancestors. Wake him up, I want to see how Yang Ke is still tossing in front of me!"

As he spoke, Ji Le raised his hand and prepared to summon the soul of the "Liegong".

A gust of wind blew, Ji Le's hand stiffened in mid-air, and there were still three people in the hall.

Ji Le's face changed, and he immediately summoned the soul again. In the Yongle Palace, there were figures of deceased Xia nationals one after another. However......

The eyes of the heavy-eyed old man showed a look of confusion, and the young man's expression became more and more surprised, and he did not consider his situation for the time being. They stared at Ji Le's movements, their eyes scanning these national undead in the Xia Kingdom.

"Ji Le, how many undead can you summon at one time?"

No matter how many are called, those people do not exist. Ji Le understood the meaning of the young man's words, and he smiled bitterly: "Even if I move out in batches, I won't be able to see those people." ”

"How is that possible!" Shi Huang was shocked: "Those ancestors are the cornerstone of the Xia Kingdom, the true ancestors! They are one of the most important components of the national spirit, how can you not have their souls here?"

"But it's true. Ji Le's heart was cold, he looked at Cangjie, and said word by word: "I just sensed that the souls of those ancestors have not returned at all. ”

Even the people who died in battle and old age not long ago, their souls will return to Ji Le's arms and become a part of him. However, the original ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, including Yang Ke's ancestors, Ji Le could not perceive anyone's soul.

With the cold wind blowing in the hall, the three of them had a chill down their spines, and they sat there quietly, staring at each other with big eyes.
