079: Destroyed Temple
"Brother, do you remember what I told you, I have been weak since I was a child, and the national teacher said that I would not live to be twelve years old, so my father sent Fusu to the sea to seek immortal medicine, and returned with medicine for another three years."
Qin Fen nodded, of course he remembered this.
Sun Luzhao's eyes flickered and he said: "Back then, Fusu not only brought back the immortal medicine, but also returned to Danguo with him. ”
Qin Fen was shocked: "Immortals? ”
Since the elixir is real, the existence of immortals is not a vain thing, but why did the immortals return to Danguo with Fusu? Immortals in the traditional sense, don't they live in paradise and don't ask about the world?
Sun Luzhao smiled bitterly: "That immortal was treated as a guest by his father, and he held a state banquet for three days and three nights, and for a while, the whole country sang and danced together. The people of Dan are immersed in great joy, and some people proudly call Dan an immortal, and it should be called a fairy country. ”
Seeing that Sun Luzhao's face was becoming more and more gloomy, Qin Fen already had an ominous premonition.
"Since the immortals came to Danguo, everything has been different."
"People stopped working, the fields were deserted, cattle and sheep were taken out of their cages to satisfy their appetites, and the people who indulged in pleasure soon slaughtered their livestock."
Qin Fen was puzzled: "But...... Why? ”
"People were busy praying all day long, building temples and offering live animal sacrifices. After the establishment of the Sect for the immortals, the concept of heretics appeared, and it became popular among the people to report each other and execute heretics. ”
Qin Fen asked, "What is Your Majesty doing at this time?" ”
"Father, he ......"
Sun Luzhao lowered his head dejectedly and said: "Addicted to immortal arts, I have no psychology to know national politics, and I have my own immortals as companions, so my father will no longer be in the early dynasty." ”
Qin Fen's eyes widened, and he finally understood the crux of the problem, and said with a smile: "The immortal is a woman? ”
Sun Luzhao's face was slightly red, of course she knew what her brother was thinking, so it was natural for her to be shy.
It's outrageous.
Qin Fen asked, "And then?" ”
"After staying in the Dan Kingdom for several months, the immortals suddenly left one day. Since then, the father has no intention of managing state affairs, and the little prince has taken advantage of the chaos to collude with the enemy country, seeing that Dan is worried about domestic and foreign troubles......"
"It wasn't until the national teacher personally told his father that there had been a sign of the death of the country for a few days in a row, so that his father paid attention to it, but it was already too late."
Sun Luzhao continued, "The people still believe that the immortals will save them from the dire situation, but the truth is that all they have left is the cold stone statues and corrupted sacrifices in the temple. ”
"The farmland has dried up, the government has been paralyzed, robberies are rampant, and corpses are exposed on the streets...... During that time, the Dan Kingdom was simply a purgatory on earth. ”
From Sun Luzhao's description, we can associate all kinds of tragic phenomena. The high-ranking royal family still lives a luxurious life of dogs and horses, which is in stark contrast to the situation of careless human life outside the palace.
Finally, someone stood up to denounce everything, saying that the departure of the immortals was due to the poor service of the royal family. And then the luck of Dan was also affected. People who are dominated by hunger no longer have the ability to think about the causes and consequences.
They began to get angry and spontaneously organized their followers to storm the palace. Trying to catch a member of the royal family and offering it as a sacrifice to make the immortals change their minds. No one told them that it was possible, but there was no doubt that it had become their strong belief in survival.
"Later, the imperial army temporarily quelled the rebellion and executed many of the faithful."
"My father ordered the temple to be destroyed, and he was equally angry at the immortals who left him, and attributed the rebellion of the people to ignorant faith."
Qin Fen couldn't help but laugh and said, "He did this right." ”
Sun Luzhao did not blame her brother for not using honorifics, in fact, she has been subtly influenced by modern times, and her salutation is more of a habit of retention.
"No, if the temple hadn't been destroyed, maybe things would have turned around."
Sun Luzhao shook his head and sighed: "The behavior of the imperial army aroused strong condemnation from the people, and they fought to the death, successfully entered the palace one night, and forcibly looted everything. ”
"There was a big fire in the palace that day, the sky was dyed red, the rebels broke into the door when they saw it, and killed people when they saw it, and some royal families who put on civilian clothes and wanted to get out of the palace were caught and killed directly."
"Rivers of blood flowed everywhere."
Qin Fen said movingly: "Where were you then?" ”
Sun Luzhao looked into his brother's eyes and said, "I was locked up in a dungeon, where it was dark, there was no concept of time, I didn't know what was around, but I heard a lot of rustling sounds. ”
"What sound?"
"How do you describe it...... It's the kind of very special, like the sound of insects grinding and sucking, that lingers in my ears. At first, I was scared, and even though I couldn't see anything, I didn't dare to close my eyes, and I could only hold on even if I was very sleepy. ”
Qin Fen groaned: "Bug ......"
Sun Luzhao said: "I don't know how long it took to be like this, and suddenly one day, I heard someone talking to me. It was a child's voice, it was difficult to distinguish the gender, the articulation was very vague, and it was a little difficult to communicate, but then I gradually got used to this unique way of pronouncing. ”
Qin Fen didn't interrupt her, but he felt that something was wrong. If there were already people in the dungeon, it would be impossible for him to speak so late, unless he was locked in later, and Sun Luzhao happened to be unconscious at that time......
"I talked to that voice a lot, maybe it would give me some security. It seemed to have a great interest in everything, and asked me a lot of things, and I thought it was a child, so it was defenseless. ”
"Until one day, I realized that I hadn't heard of bugs for a long time...... When did it start? By the way, I hadn't eaten for a long time, and my head was getting a little dull......"
"Then I remembered that from the day this voice appeared, the bugs were quiet."
Qin Fen suddenly changed color and thought of a possibility.
……
"My crippled immortal will be perfect because of you!"
Utah's voice echoed in the living room, the water in the fish tank trembled, the tail of the little koi slapped on the tank, and the usual behavior of wanting to eat was now only because of excessive fright.
Zhao Wenji's face was confused: "I don't understand...... Since he's not Fusu, why are you ......?"
"At the critical moment of Fusu's refining of medicine, I forcibly opened the furnace to take away the elixir, because the medicinal power was damaged, only half of the pill was effective, and Fusu was injured by me and his life was in danger."
He knew that he would not survive, so he did not hesitate to use his body as a furnace to refine the last medicine. The one you secretly handed over to Sun Luzhao back then was that one. ”
Utah's words penetrated Zhao Wenji's body like thunder, she was kept in the dark back then, and the truth was like this? The immortal medicine that Dan Gao took back then paid such a big price?!
No wonder the Utah priest kept saying that Xu Huang was not Fusu, because he was extremely sure that Fusu had died back then! If he hadn't learned about it afterwards, he wouldn't be the person he is now!
