Chapter 295: Forbidden Martial Sacrifice
The tall hills are black, the sharp rocks are black, the strange woods are black, even the soil on the ground is black—everything in the black ground seems to be black. This is a dead and lifeless place eight hundred miles west of Xianyang Palace, known as the Black Land in ancient times.
The eternal black color symbolizes the death of the forbidden realm, and it seems to symbolize the immortal will of recovery. The colorful little fox lay on a huge black rock, calling softly, but there was no response from this dead and silent world.
After a few gentle calls, the little fox's royal blue pupils overflowed with a large area of blue light, and in the surge of light, the little fox turned into a delicate and lovely girl, sitting on the black rock.
"That's it...... The land of legendary relics. Ying Zheng stepped on the dead black soil, his eyes always followed the colorful little fox, watching it transform into a girl, and Bai Qi and Bian Que stood behind him, "Xu Fu raised Daji's little fox to keep the secret of this ruin......"
The little fox who incarnated as a human was named Daji, a girl who had lost all her memories, she didn't know why, she didn't know herself, but she always remembered the location of this black land, and led Yingzheng and others through countless mountains and forests to this place.
"Xu Fu's true purpose is unknown, but it is certain that he really has no way to awaken the ruins......" Bian Que glanced at the strange black realm in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "In this world, I am afraid that the only person who can forbid the 'Reincarnation Day' is me......"
"So, only you can awaken this legendary ruin...... Right. Ying Zheng said softly with the king's smile. But if you want to use the forbidden spell to awaken the ruins...... It requires a very large number of resources. Bian Que leaned down, reached out and grabbed a handful of the black-brown soil, watching the dead sand fall between his fingers.
"Haven't we been doing it for this day? Now that I have become the emperor of Qin Chu, the resources of the entire country are in my hands...... Is there anything that is not enough? Ying Zheng looked up at the dead black world, and the dragon-like pupils exuded a scorching light.
Bian Que quietly opened his hand and sprinkled all the black soil in his hand on the ground, he looked at the sprinkling of the soil, his eyes were cold, "The sacrifice required for the forbidden 'reincarnation day' is a human skull, the head of a normal person between the ages of twenty and forty, and the net skull after skinning and removing the flesh...... At least 10,000 pieces! ”
10,000 human skulls – that's 10,000 human lives! Whether it was Ying Zheng or Bai Qi, the moment they heard this, their eyes couldn't help but be shocked, although they had heard Bian Que say in advance that the performance of the "Reincarnation Day" required a lot of resources as a sacrifice, but they never expected that this sacrifice would be 10,000 human skulls...... No wonder, no wonder the "Day of Reincarnation" was listed as a forbidden technique, banned thousands of years ago......
"I was surprised to know the truth...... After all, 10,000 innocent lives have to be sacrificed, and if you don't leave a whole corpse, you won't be able to die peacefully......" Bian Que quietly put his hand into the black earth, repeatedly grabbed a handful of black soil, and sprinkled it again.
Bian Que said, but his eyes were very cold. He turned his head and looked at the quiet Ying Zheng and Bai Qi, especially nodding his gaze heavily on Bai Qi, and said: "It's cruel, isn't it cruel to use such conditions to cast the forbidden technique 'Reincarnation Day' - isn't it much more cruel than Xu Fu using the human body to do corpse demon experiments?" When Bian Que's words fell, Bai Qi's face hidden under the battle helmet was obviously shocked, but Ying Zheng was very calm, and he had always said, "Some sacrifices are unavoidable." Ying Zheng stared at him, and said calmly as always, "We need strength too much now, and awakening the ruins is the only way for us...... For the sake of the overall situation of the world, the lives of these 10,000 people must be sacrificed! ”
Ying Zheng's voice was very firm, like a sharp sword plunging into the iron stone, and the lives of those 10,000 innocent people had been sentenced. He was naturally very determined, he had been preparing for the imperial plan he was bound to achieve for too long, and nothing could stop him, whether it was the 100,000 troops who defended the mausoleum and were finally wiped out by the 300,000 Praetorian Guards, or the 10,000 lives he needed now - he would not hesitate when it was time to abandon it.
"I know you won't stop - but the heinous crime of mutilating 10,000 lives - I'm afraid that the equalizer and the two protectors will not let you go, and once it is revealed, your throne will also be ......lost," Bian Que said in a quiet voice.
"I naturally know that I have already planned the situation ......" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, his eyes turned to Bai Qi behind him, and said, "Ah Qi, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, have they arrived in the border city?" "Two days ago, they had already arrived at the border Longshun City and Huyao City, and they were reorganizing their army to prepare for a long-term defense." Bai Qi replied in a deep voice. "Hmm......" Ying Zheng bowed his head, and the dragon's bright pupils faintly flashed a strange luster, "With the hearts of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, as well as the heavy responsibility of protecting the king, they will definitely fulfill their duties and guard the border......"
"In this way—they can't take care of the affairs of the country." Bian Que's cold gaze staring at the black soil on the ground couldn't help but tremble...... It turned out that Ying Zheng canonized Xiang Yu Liu Bang, who did not support him, as the protector of the king, for such a purpose - yes, after adding the heavy responsibility of guarding the border city to Xiang Yu Liu Bang, it would not only win their trust, but also keep them away from the interior and have no time to take care of the government, thus stabilizing the overall situation.
"As long as the passage between the border city and the interior is blocked, the flow of information in the border city can be completely controlled...... In this way, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will become blind and deaf......" The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a royal smile, "For the rest, as long as you design a house arrest to house the equalizer Mi Yue, and then gradually reduce the power of the hundred officials, it will be enough......" "The power of Qin Chu will be completely controlled by me, and when the time comes, all the power will be in my hands, all obstacles will be regarded as rebellion, and all national resources can be used, so why worry about the great cause?" ”
Ying Zheng flashed the dragon's bright eyes, and finished this paragraph in a deep voice, his voice full of the determination of the king's sole power. Bian Que didn't speak, just opened his hand and sprinkled all the black soil in his hand again, since Ying Zheng had already planned, he naturally didn't need to say much, what Ying Zheng decided would definitely be able to do - because he was the emperor. And Bai Qi stood behind Ying Zheng, never saying a word, like a lifeless armor. But, in fact, he doesn't have to say anything, he absolutely believes that all of Ying Zheng's decisions, all his ambitions, and the meaning of his life are to help Ying Zheng realize his meaning!
"If there is no problem, it is naturally best to ......" Bian Que slowly stood up from the ground, and said in a quiet voice, "Next, I began to prepare for the forbidden art 'Reincarnation Day', digging a deep pit and building Ling Chi, after you prepare the sacrifices, I can devote myself to the evolution of Ling Chi...... After that, give me ten years to complete the Ling Chi Melting - and the day the Ling Chi Melting is completed is the time when the forbidden spell is cast. ”
"Ten years?" Ying Zhengming's pupils were slightly weak, and he asked again, "Do you need ten years?" "Well, at least ten years." Bian Que replied. "It took ten years to awaken the ruins of the 'Candle Dragon'?" Ying Zhengning frowned and asked again.
"As you said yourself, this is the remnant of the 'Candle Dragon' that has been silent for thousands of years, and if you want to recover, you will naturally need huge resources and time." Bian Que looked back at Ying Zheng and said in an immortal ghostly voice, "Compared to a thousand years of silence, ten years is just a small number. ”
"But ten years is too big for me!" Ying Zheng lost in a deep voice.
