After Tang Chen got up, he said: "Then tell me now, at least I want to see what kind of person I am helping to do, and let me know if I will also die at the hands of this person in the future." ”

The emperor nodded and smiled: "Do you think so of me?" Then I will let you know today what it means to be forced to do so and what it means to be involuntarily. ”

"Say it."

"Back then, it was the heyday of spirit masters, and all spirit masters wanted to compete for an orthodox title, so everyone was looking for children who were born with spiritual powers, and after finding those children, they were equivalent to finding a goal that could be cultivated, and these children could help them get whatever they wanted."

"And then?"

The emperor said: "If these children are disobedient or if they can't achieve the effect that the spirit master wants in the later stage, these children will be killed, their arms and legs will be cut off, and they will be put into jars to turn into Gu." I ask you, if it were you, would you want to die directly, or would you want to be refined into a Gu by the Spirit Master! ”

"So you're trying to tell me you're helping those people get free, aren't you?"

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, I am the same person as them, I have spiritual power in my body since I was born, because I have a lot of spiritual power, and the demon beasts and evil spirits want to trouble me, fortunately, I was born in the royal family and there are many spirit masters to protect me, so that those things will not hurt me at all, but those children outside are different, they have no one to protect." Every day they were facing the interference of those evil spirits, and finally one day the spirit master found a way to use these spirit children to cultivate, and they began to look for such children constantly. I was also ordered by my father that he wanted me and the crown prince to find 10 spirit children each to complete the task, and those who completed the task could get a white jade belt, which was the most precious and representative thing of our royal family! ”

"For that thing? That's why you're going to kill? ”

"The prince and I didn't want to go at the time, because the two of us were taught that it would hurt others, so we both knew we couldn't do that. But the emperor's destiny is like a mountain, we have to do this, my father likes to see the two of us compete for the throne, and he also likes to see us become like that, and that appearance is the strongest in his heart. ”

Tang Chen smiled and said, "What kind of thinking is this?" Is it strong to kill people and do bad things? ”

"After all, it is an era of soul masters who survive, and if you are not strong enough, you may be eliminated or even killed by other spirit masters." The emperor said as he continued to walk forward: "If you were not born in that era, you would not understand, so I don't ask anyone to understand me, in short, what I did must be not wrong." ”

"Nothing wrong? You killed so many people, you said you were not wrong? ”

The emperor said with some unusual eyes in his eyes: "How many people have you killed?" ”

"I don't know if this is what I should ask you?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I ask you, what would you choose if someone else threatened your life?" Kill him or let someone else kill you? ”

"Of course I'd choose to kill him."

"That's what I thought too."

"But you're killing children, you can't tell me those children are a threat to you."

The emperor nodded and said: "That's right, there are also threats, all the spirit masters in this world are a threat to me, so the first thing I will do after I take the throne is to kill all the spirit masters in this world, only in this way can the people have a good life." ”

"So you still haven't said why you killed those kids."

The emperor looked at Tang Chen at this time and said, "I have already said that I will kill all the spirit masters, and those children are also spirit masters, so they should have died." ”

"But those children ......"

"Tang Chen, you will slowly know about this matter in the future, as long as you are here, you will hear all kinds of words, they will turn their emperor into a heinous monster, but at least you should believe that there are some things that I have never done, and what I do is good for the people."

Tang Chen didn't plan to continue to ask, but at this time, the emperor said: "Actually, if those children hadn't killed them in the end, they would have died even worse, and I could be regarded as giving them a relief." ”

"How?"

The emperor said: "If these children born with spiritual power were caught by those other spirit masters, they would be poured mercury all over their bodies, and then they would be made into complete slaves, slaves with life, those evil spirit masters would make them suffer forever, and then use their spirit and life to let them survive in this world for 30 years, and after thirty years they would die and become complete corpses, and those corpses would also be caught by those spirit masters to help them do things." But do you know what they're going to suffer before they die? ”

At this time, Tang Chen suddenly thought of the people who were swept by vines they had seen in the forest before, they had real pain, but they were living people one by one, and the grateful expressions they brought after he killed them at that time were still remembered by him, it was simply shocking.

"Can you find a way to save them?"

The emperor shook his head and said: "It's easy for you to say, back then, if anyone helped them, it was equivalent to being an enemy of all the spirit masters, and they would die a miserable death, especially since our royal family is absolutely not allowed to contact people like them." ”

"Why, I don't understand, you are the emperor, you have military power, you have everything, why don't you dare to save a few children?"

The emperor's tone became a little stiff, and he repeated: "That's a spirit master, not a child!" ”

"A child born with spiritual power is the soul master in your eyes?"

"No!" The emperor replied to him directly: "Children born with spiritual power are just children if they don't accept the education of the spirit master, but as long as they accept the education of the spirit master, they are the spirit master, and they are no longer children!" Do you understand? ”

"Okay." Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "I don't know what happened back then, but what you did may have been right at the time." ”

"What I'm doing is right at all times."

"Why did you kill your brother?"

This question seems to have always been a scar in the emperor's heart, and now he didn't expect to be brought up by Tang Chen again, the emperor sighed and said, "I have no choice." ”
