Chapter 164: Xin Mi (Part II)

At that time, the young monk arranged many matters of Longyin Temple again, and then went to Chang'an again.

This part of the road, he walked a lot slower than before.

The news of the new emperor's accession to the throne came early, and natural disasters became more and more frequent with the new emperor's accession to the throne. In the face of the providence in the dark, human power seems to be powerless to the extreme.

The Great Chu Dynasty, which Emperor Wanzhen had carefully maintained all his life, suddenly collapsed in less than a month. The monk walked all the way, watched all the way, and helped the victims of the disaster that he could help.

Three months later, he arrived in Antler Plain, and in this short period of three months, rebels rose everywhere, and the people were even more miserable in such a war, and they could be starved everywhere, and the people the monks rescued along the way were far less than the casualties caused by a small war. A sense of powerlessness flooded the monk's mind, and for the first time in his life, his faith wavered.

He remembered what Emperor Wanzhen had said to him when he left Chang'an.

The sky is going to die.

Two hundred years ago, Da Chu did something against the sky and forcibly continued the fortune of the country for himself, but two hundred years later, which of the emperors of Da Chu was not making great efforts to govern the country, and which one was not virtuous and loving the people, so why did he still insist on dying Chu on this day?

Is it the providence in the dark that is important, or is the life of the people in the world important?

The monk was full of questions.

So he made a temporary decision, changed his itinerary, and went to the dangerous peak that stood for 10,000 years in Antler Plain.

......

The name of the holy monk is not in vain, the monk's ability is far more than chanting Buddhist scriptures and preaching the Dharma, his cultivation has already reached the realm of immortals, this mountain climbing road is not a trouble for him, he took about seven days to climb this dangerous peak.

In short, when the monk came to the top of the mountain, the outside of the Taiyin Palace was already full of Confucian students in white clothes, and they knew the monk's intention, so they did not waste too much time, and directly led the monk into the Taiyin Palace and sent it to Fenglai Pavilion.

And the supreme real person who has lived for four hundred years and has seen almost the rise and fall of the entire Great Chu has already sat in the pavilion, waiting for the arrival of the monk.

Both are smart people, and the dialogue between smart people and smart people is never too complicated.

The monk knew the rules, so he asked his question without thinking: "The reincarnation of heaven, the number of rise and fall, who decides?"

The old man in a wide white robe squinted his eyes and shook his head, and replied, "I don't know." ”

The monk frowned, but he didn't expect that he would get such an answer, but he didn't blame the so-called all-knowing immortal in front of him, nor did he question his answer, but after being slightly stunned, he made a Buddhist bow to the immortal, and then turned around and left.

The monk's idea is very simple, since the Supreme True Man cannot answer this question, then he can only find someone who can see farther and live longer than the Supreme True Man to give him the answer.

But at the moment before his footsteps stepped out of this Fenglai Pavilion, the supreme real person suddenly stopped him: "I can't give the answer that the holy monk wants, but since the Taiyin Palace was established, there has never been a thing that makes people return empty-handed. ”

The supreme real person gave the monk an ancient book, an ancient book without a name, and the monk rudely flipped through the ancient book, which recorded the method of making a thing called the god seed, and the method of making it was extremely cruel, and most of the inferences were based on using living people as experimental objects. The monk did not like what the book said, but he was driven by some thoughts that he could not say himself, so he did not destroy the book in the first place, but carried it with him. He was vaguely aware that some things seemed far from being as simple as he had imagined.

And after leaving the Taiyin Palace, the monk set off again.

This time, he walked very fast, but in four or five days, he crossed the land of Antler Plain and Jizhou, and he did not stop for a moment for those Li people who were wailing on the side of the road, because he knew that he could not save everyone. And when he came to Chang'an, the once prosperous and peaceful capital seemed to have changed its appearance, although the streets were still full of people, but the monk could feel a wave of uneasiness and anger surging in the crowd.

The monk went to the outside of Putian Palace to ask for a meeting, and he was greeted by the royal princess named Fang Tianqing.

But after a few months of not seeing her, the girl did not regain her usual lively appearance, her eyes were red, her face was haggard, and the monk could imagine how tormenting these days must have been for the girl.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and under the guidance of the girl, the monk entered the inner palace and met the new emperor, who was also the child he had taught for five years - Fang Ming.

Although there is no name of master and apprentice, but the two of them have the reality of apostles in the empty Putian Palace for a long time, the once vigorous like the rising sun, the eyes no longer have the aura that the monk admired, after such a look, he sighed deeply and heavily.

The monk did not wait for the young emperor to say anything after sighing, and he took the first step to throw the ancient book in his arms in front of the emperor, and said, "I want to know the truth." ”

Under the monk's aggressive questioning, the young emperor did not support it for too long, and after the ancestors of the Chu State used the method of dragon and snake twins to renew the national fortune of the Chu State two hundred years ago, the Great Chu royal family did not relax because of the continuation of the national fortune, but was immersed in the fear of the unknown fate of heaven and earth. In order to ensure that the rule of Great Chu can continue forever, and also to protect themselves, the first people of Chu State climbed Nayaqi Mountain for the second time and found the method of the half-demon god seed, and since then, the royal family of the Chu Dynasty has secretly studied this method.

Half of the luck that was dispersed by this Great Chu was caused by the will of heaven, and the other half was consumed as the dragon qi needed for the method of this half-demon god seed.

After the monk looked through the ancient book, he noticed that the descendants of the royal family of the Chu State were all talented and intelligent, coupled with the strangeness of the passing dragon qi of the Great Chu, so he had such a guess, at this moment Fang Ming told the truth, but the monk who had confirmed the conjecture did not feel relieved by this, but frowned.

Because the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty turned into half-demons as early as a hundred years ago under the almost frantic transformation of those ancestors, but Rao is so, they are still not the most perfect gods, they lack the essence and blood of the demon king, and the injection of dragon qi makes these royal families have the body of a half-demon, but the gods are often swayed by this powerful force that does not belong to them because they can't control such a powerful force, and finally most of them die under the various disasters brought about by the loss of control of this power.

A hundred years ago, the royal family of Great Chu realized such a problem, but once the body of the half-demon was formed, there was no way back, and the royal family of Great Chu had to bear such a curse and multiply for a hundred years, during which they did not try to kill the demon monarch to obtain essence blood, but Great Chu has been plagued by natural disasters since two hundred years ago, coupled with the dragon qi that they once devoured themselves, so that the rule of Great Chu has been on the verge of collapse, and the warlords of all parties have been divided, and on the surface they worship the Great Chu royal family as the king, but in fact they have long been in their own faction. The royal family of Great Chu knew very well how terrible the demon monarch was, and they would not have the luxury of persuading all forces, including the Longyin Temple, to release the demon monarch they suppressed. Because they knew that no one would agree to their request, and the most fundamental reason why the demon clan was still staying in the 100,000 mountains was that only the last demon monarch was left in the 100,000 mountains. And once any of the other ones are released, it may cause another riot of the demon clan.

Therefore, there was only one left on the side of the road in front of the Great Chu royal family - one hundred thousand mountains.

It's just that, surrounded by such a pack of wolves, it is obviously impossible for the Great Chu Imperial Family to launch any action against the 100,000 Great Mountains.

After saying this, the young emperor walked down the high steps of Putian Palace, knelt in front of the monk, he begged the monk to save the Great Chu royal family, at this moment the luck of the Great Chu has reached the verge of collapse, and once the Great Chu royal family walks off the altar, after the chaos of the heroes, the new king ascends the throne, then they will definitely discover the secret of the Great Chu royal family, in order to maintain their rule, but also in order to obtain enough dragon energy, no matter what the royal family of Great Chu does, in the end it is destined to be unable to escape the fate of being slaughtered.

The monk knew very well how bloody the ancestors of the Great Chu Imperial Family were when they transformed their descendants into half-demons, and they also knew how much disaster the dragon qi that was devoured by the Great Chu ancestors for their own selfishness would bring to the creatures of this heaven and earth, but after all, what happened hundreds of years ago, for the current Great Chu Imperial Family, they had not participated in this matter, and they were just poor people whose fate was decided by the ancestors.

Fang Ming pleaded with the monk, the royal family of Great Chu was willing to hand over the dragon qi in his body, and even willing to give up the status of this so-called royal family, just to let the clansmen get rid of such a fate, and let the world no longer suffer such a catastrophe.

The monk couldn't find a reason to refuse Fang Ming, he thought about it for a long time with a calm brow, and finally agreed.

......

Before leaving, the monk went to see Fang Tianqing alone.

He sat opposite Her Royal Highness the princess and drank tea. This silence lasted for an hour, and the two seemed to enjoy the tranquility, but when the parting came, Fang Tianqing still said something to the monk.

She said that everything about the Great Chu royal family, she only knew after her younger brother ascended the throne, and now she is tasting the evil fruits planted by her ancestors, the half-demon power in her body is rampage, devouring her life step by step, she will not live long. So she plucked up the courage to reveal her heart to the monk, and she hoped that the monk would stay with her for the last period of time.

The monk rejected the girl as a matter of course.

It's not that he really can't be so ruthless as to completely ignore the hot and real emotions of a girl, but he knows very well that it is better to perish on the road of finding hope than to die in the arms of false illusions.

He wants to save her, he wants to save her people, and he wants to save thousands of people in this world.

He decided to travel west, to the legendary 100,000 mountains, to find the demon monarch among them, and retrieve the essence blood of the demon monarch for her. He also had to go to Kunlun Immortal Mountain further west to ask the immortals who controlled the heavens and the earth there why they wanted the common people in this world to sink in this or that kind of suffering. He wants to push the boat down the river and make the royal family of Great Chu a real half-demon, and he will take care of this royal family of Great Chu and teach them to become qualified emperors.

He was anxious to accomplish these things, because only when he had done them would he be qualified to let go of everything he had carried and respond to the things he had been running away from.
