Desert Beacon Smoke Chapter 114, Immortal
A dark crimson flame burned on the altar, and the delicate and delicate figure of the little fox slowly walked forward.
The flame was brilliant and colorful, full of wonderful temptations.
What kind of flame is this?
The flame burned out of thin air, without any fuel, and the flame had no temperature, more like a writhing mass of air.
The little fox took out a small glass bottle and filled it with what little spark there was.
The flames went out, and there was a cloud of ash scattered on the ground.
Sakura Momoko and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and the little fox walked in front of Xue Pu with a small bottle of flames.
"This is the secret of immortality?" She couldn't help but ask.
Xue Pu nodded: "Not bad." β
A breathtaking chill suddenly rushed behind him, the little fox was shocked, and was held in Xue Pu's arms, the little fox stood sideways, and Xue Pu's hand had already formed a thunder law handprint.
Just look at a figure with ashes attached to the ashes gradually rising from a pile of ashes emitting embers, describing quiet, giving people a feeling of dead silence and loneliness, but not feeling the murderous aura.
Thousands of years, long days, I really don't know what the figure in front of me is?
The little fox only looked at the figure, plucked up the courage and asked softly, "You... Are you the national teacher? β
Gradually, the figure shook off the smoke and dust on his body, and sat on the ground, but his facial features were burned by fire like dry wood...
His voice was quiet and empty: "Freedom? Finally seeing people again..."
Still alive!
The little fox was silently happy, and she had tears in her eyes: "There are really people in this world who are immortal!" She looked at Xue Pu and couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
The person who crawled out of the ashes said coldly: "I am not a national teacher... It's just a person trapped in desire... More than 600 years... Is today liberation? β
"What six hundred years? Six hundred years ago, the Turtles had already slaughtered Islamic civilization, what was going on? When the little fox heard this, he was puzzled.
She crept over to the ashes, but she couldn't see his features clearly, and the man seemed to be alive, or half-dead.
"Six hundred years ago? Are you from the Ming Dynasty? Or the last years of the Yuan Dynasty...."
Ash muttered to himself, "Ming? Such a familiar name, is the Ming Dynasty still there? His tone was a little confused.
The little fox looked at Xue Pu's Han costume and smiled knowingly: "Although the Ming Dynasty is no longer there, we Han people are still there.... The bones of our Han people may still be there..."
"Han..."Ash asked eagerly, "Has the Yuan captives been expelled?" Did the Mongol Tatars rush back to Mobei? β
Xue Pu nodded, it seemed that he was quite concerned about the things in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and immediately said: "That's natural, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital in Nanjing, and in the same year sent the general Xu Da, Chang Yuchun to "expel Hu Lu and restore China" as a call, raised troops to the Northern Expedition, recovered Beijing, and drove the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty back to Mobei. During the reign of Taizu, he sent troops deep into Mobei eight times to inflict heavy losses on the Mongol Tartars. Later, Chengzu Zhu Di also made several expeditions to the north, and he made quite a success..."
"And what about the house?" Ash asked again.
"During the reign of Emperor Taizu, he rectified corruption, killed corrupt officials, lightly punished small endowments, built water conservancy, and rested with the people. After hundreds of years of fatigue since Jinmeng, people's livelihood has recovered well. β
Hearing this, the person who crawled out of the ashes nodded and seemed to feel a little relieved, and he said, "Zhu Yuanzhang, he finally did it..."
Seeing that he cared so much about the past, the little fox couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" Are you really immortal? β
The man replied quietly, "It doesn't matter who I am... It's not so much immortality as being trapped here for hundreds of years by this burning fire of desire..."
He heard Xue Pu tell about the great achievements of China in the Ming Dynasty, pacifying the people and rejuvenating the religion, he was happy for a while and thought about it, and never thought that hundreds of years later, there would still be people who remembered the blessings brought to the people by the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking for a moment, he heard Shen Jing say: "Looking back on the past hundreds of years, the emperor's hegemony has become loess... The so-called immortal flame is even more vain, only kindness can still be remembered in the hearts of the people... Zhu Yuanzhang's words back then were really good..."
The man who crawled out of the ashes spoke strangely quietly, and for hundreds of years, he seemed to endure endless loneliness, while he told a different story.
This man did not reveal his identity, but said that his father used Manichaeism to raise troops against the Yuan Dynasty with the intention of restoring China.
It's a pity that my father died in battle, and he was supported by his elders and became the leader of the princes of the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty...
At that time, most of the princes of the world believed in the Western Regions Mingjiao, which was similar to Zoroastrianism, begging for the holy flame to not be extinguished and the light to live forever...
Among the princes of the anti-Yuan rebel army, only Zhu Yuanzhang advocated the expulsion of the Yuan captives, the restoration of the Chinese rites and music of Confucius and Mencius, the way of the ancestors, the internal Confucianism and external law, and the revitalization of Chinese civilization.
As for the Bright Sect from the Western Regions, the principle of using only its name and not its reality was proposed, after all, how could the belief of Hulu Fanbang be used as the foundation for the survival of its own nation?
And the heavenly burial, killing, flattery, and worship of the gods of the Illuminati Sect are incompatible with the civilization established by the Chinese.
Hearing this, Xue Pu and Little Fox couldn't help but admire the foresight of Ming Taizu back then, revitalize Chinese civilization, return to the religion of Confucius and Mencius, and abandon the invasion of Western and barbarian thoughts.
After all, the independence of a nation from rejuvenation lies not only in material and political terms, but also in culture and spirituality.
Of course, this kind of independence is not self-contained, ignorant and conservative, but self-respect, self-love, self-confidence and self-improvement.
Such an approach now seems to be an extremely advanced and correct thing in society, let alone in that era when Shenzhou was sinking.
Xue Pu knew that what the ancients said was true, he had seen that Emperor Taizu had indeed said something similar in the "Ming Shilu", and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it did implement many ideas to expel Hu Hua and return to Chinese civilization, such as prohibiting Hu Fu and Hu language and continuing the policy of not intermarrying between Hu and Han in previous dynasties.
However, these practices and ideas did not gain support among the rebels who united against the Yuan in the world, but everyone's ideas were reversed, and the Western school that was the master at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang was squeezed out among the rebels.
However, the people's hearts are devoted to Zhu Yuanzhang, who loves the people and governs benevolently, and gradually Zhu Yuanzhang's power grows, and he appoints virtuous ministers and famous generals to sweep away all the princes in the south.
The hearts of the people of the world are towards King Wu, this immortal man felt the threat of his status, so he decided to find the Bright Flame inherited by the Bright Sect in the past dynasties, trying to use the call of the Bright Flame to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang for the throne.
Finally, he came to the ancient city of Zoroastrian Sunset, praying to find the sacred flame of that year.
Sunset City had been enchanted by the Zoroastrian teachers many years earlier.
The high priest used the ancient Shu evil art to lock the entire Sunset City with an enchantment, and burned it with the true fire of Samadhi refined by the evil art.
And all the souls of the people in the city became the fuel of the high priest's life.
But what is surprising is that the flame cannot be separated from fuel, and the soul of the city used by the high priest is the fuel used by the high priest.
This fire of eternal life trapped the High Priest forever in this ruined ancient city.
After the ancients in front of him found the sacrifice in the ruins, they were bewitched by this flame that symbolized eternal life, and were willing to return themselves to the position of immortality.
And the place was replaced, and the high priest endured years of loneliness and then regained his freedom, albeit only for a short time.
Now this person can be said to be the second host of the eternal fire.
However, what he didn't expect was that the immortal fire was not really immortal, and once the soul used as fuel was depleted, the host would still die.
The host felt the flames faint for a long time, and his own body weakened with the debilitating flames.
Gradually, only this one like ashes remained.
He laughed, and realized how ridiculous he was at the beginning, the one who died without dying, he endured loneliness and confinement here, and lived empty for more than six hundred years, but no one remembered him.
And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was less than 100 years old, has been remembered by the people for thousands of years, who is dead and who is still alive.
The fire will be extinguished, and the light will be forever, but the coveted so-called immortality is still there.
He's spent a long time here, but he still has a meaningful desire for himself....
Until one day, the expedition team found his existence...
Of course, Sakura Momoko's grandfather, Sakura Sonosuke, was also involved, and after learning the secret of this immortal, he and several Japanese representatives had crooked thoughts about immortality.
If it is possible to prolong the life of a human being, why don't people who want eternal life build a city here?
Will these Japanese thoughts about China stop there?
Of course, this approach was still opposed by FalkrΓΌ and others, so there was civil strife in the expedition team, and Japanese experts united to kill Falklu.
The Japanese experts ostensibly promised freedom to the undead, but in fact they wanted to use the methods of the undead to achieve immortality for themselves, or to establish a magic circle similar to the Molten City in other parts of China to achieve immortality...
This undoubtedly angered the immortal, and he spurred the fire of his soul to burn to death all who knew the secret.
And Mr. Qin Jiuyi, who survived with the Qimen technique, also left three clear and four royal locks to seal the immortal afterwards.
At the same time, he also kept secrets and divination for him, saying that one day in a hundred years, he would regain his freedom.
