Chapter 284: Don't Forget Your Heart

(Cat flutter Chinese The sky was spinning, and the luster in Zhang Chao's eyes disappeared completely in an instant, as if the soul fire in his body was also completely extinguished at this moment.

He had no power to resist and fell directly in front of the stone tablet.

......

The autumn is high and cool, and the wheat fields are golden.

It is a remote mountain village farmland.

"Hey, Zhang Chao, wake up, I said you kid, are you here to work or to sleep?"

"Hmm......" Zhang Chao opened his eyes a little uncomfortably, rubbed his sleepy eyes, then yawned, sat up a little dazedly, and looked around.

I saw a middle-aged man, holding a sickle, cutting wheat in the field.

"What are you doing in a daze?" the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a coarse cloth towel on his shoulder, and then shouted to Zhang Chao.

"I just had a dream, I dreamed that I had become a cultivator, and I was in the thick and thin...... And it will also be alchemy, refining the ......" Zhang Chao scratched his head, and his face seemed to be a little disappointed.

"You melon baby, you know daydreaming all day long, and you are still a cultivator, those are all fictional, and you will believe it in order to spread false rumors!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and then said impatiently: "Hurry up, take the guy to work, if you don't hurry up the harvest in such a large field, what are you waiting for?"

"Oh...... Oh!" Zhang Chao reluctantly got up, took the sickle into the wheat field, and began to work with the middle-aged man.

In the thirty-eighth year of Tianyuan, autumn.

A big war began.

On this Tian Yuan Continent, there were dozens of dynasties fighting each other.

The flames of war were poisonous, and they burned all over the world in an instant.

The people were tragically attacked by the war, and the people were struggling to make a living.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of miles of red land, there is less than one white surviving.

The quiet village where Zhang Chao lives is inevitably shrouded in war.

Overnight, tens of thousands of iron horsemen arrived, killing all the people in the village, looting grain, grass and livestock, and setting fire to the village, which lasted for three days and three nights.

Zhang Chao's parents died under the butcher's knife in order to protect him.

However, Zhang Chao survived.

Immediately afterwards, with the help of the rebel army who had been coming to the rescue, Zhang Chao, who was seriously injured, recovered his health, joined the rebel army, and began to fight everywhere with the army.

Perennial conquest, more than 20 years.

Zhang Chao has changed from a newcomer to an executioner with blood on his hands.

The most sensational thing is that he once led 30,000 cavalry to besiege the enemy city, killing millions of generals, making him famous, and he was promoted to the hussar general in the rebel army.

When Zhang Chao was forty-five years old, the leader of the rebel army officially proclaimed himself king, established his own dynasty, and defeated all the surrounding dynasties and unified the entire Tianyuan Continent.

As the founding father of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Chao became the first general, holding military power and controlling thousands of troops.

More than a decade later, the leader of the rebel army died of a recurrence of an old injury, and his throne passed to the young prince.

But the new king who succeeded to the throne wanted to strengthen the centralization of power and planned to let Zhang Chao hand over the military power.

At the same time, other founding fathers with various powers were forced to surrender their powers.

This kind of behavior undoubtedly made these elders very unhappy.

They found Zhang Chao and asked Zhang Chao to raise righteousness, overthrow the new king, and proclaim himself emperor.

This year, Zhang Chao was sixty-seven years old, which is the age when he is old and strong.

He was entangled.

"General, these powers we have were exchanged for the first king's expedition to the east and the west, this is what we deserve, why did he succeed to the throne with a yellow-mouthed child, and said that if we hand it over, we will hand it over?" Zhang Chao's general palace hall was full of guests, and the official department was extremely resentful.

"Yes, we have fought for most of our lives, and the rivers and mountains that have been fought down are also part of us, we don't want the country, as long as we have some power, and now we don't even have such preferential treatment, so what are we trying to do for most of our lives?"

"Hehe, everyone, don't be impatient!" Zhang Chao sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the middle, twisted his beard and raised his hand to press down, then got up and paced: "The old man knows that everyone is dissatisfied, why shouldn't the old man?"

"The old man just hopes that everyone will not forget the original intention of joining the rebel army!"

"The original intention?" everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

"At the beginning, the old man was just a mountain and weed, farming with his parents for a living, although he was able to eat his stomach, but he was also happy, but the war destroyed the old man's village and killed the old man's parents, and the old man had to pick up the sword and become a butcher with blood on his hands!" Zhang Chao sighed and said: "After so many years of killing and fighting, it seems that the old man's heart has long been numb. ”

"However, the old man did not forget that the purpose of picking up the sword was to stop the war with war, to calm the chaotic times at that time, so that the people could live in peace and contentment and multiply in an environment without war and panic!"

"After most of our lifetime's efforts, we have done it, although the current dynasty is young, but it is full of vitality, and the lives of the people are on the right track, isn't this what we wanted to see at the beginning?"

"This is also the day we have been looking forward to coming back!"

"So...... I still remember that this original intention is enough, people can't do without **, but they can't be overly greedy, infinitely expanding ambition will only make people come to the end of the road!"

"General, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you want to surrender your military power willingly?" asked a minister, puzzled.

"That's right, General Zhang, according to your qualifications and identity, it can be said that you can respond to every call, as long as you want to be a soldier, it can be said that no one can stop you!"

"Wouldn't it be better to be the king than to let someone else be the king?"

The ministers persuaded one after another.

"Hehe, the old man doesn't have that ability, the old man is just a rough man who wields a knife and a gun!" Zhang Chao smiled and waved his hand: "It seems that you still don't understand!"

"That's right, if the old man rebels and becomes the king, then these old friends will naturally keep everything they have, just like when the previous king was in power, after all, we are all born and died friends, this is nothing at all!"

"But what if the old man returns to the ruins?"

"For example, if the old man's heir also wants to strengthen the centralization of power and let you hand over power, then what are you going to do?"

"Do you want to raise a new king to drive the old man's heir off the dragon chair?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a lifetime of tossing, have you really forgotten your original intention?"

"Do we fight wars and make achievements in order to covet power and wealth?"

Zhang Chao sighed, stood in front of the door, raised his head and looked at the sky: "If you can, what kind of military power, what wealth, the old man would rather not, the old man still wants to be the ordinary farmer who naps and is lazy on the edge of the wheat field......"

Three days later, Zhang Chao handed over his military power and returned to the field.

He used his life's savings to rebuild the village, working every day at sunrise and resting at sunset, and no longer asked about other things, and lived for a thousand years.

This year, Zhang Chao was eighty-four years old, and he died with his eyes closed.

The king of this generation specially canonized him as the father of the nation, and the whole country mourned.

Willing, willing, giving will be gained.

Zhang Chao gave up power, gave up glory, in exchange for the comfort of his old age, and in exchange for fame through the ages.

......

Zhang Chao opened his eyes again, only to find himself lying next to the stone stele.

He's still on that island.

Could it be ......

Everything just now, was he a dream?

But that dream is incomparably real.

That's a full life, decades of time.

Now he thinks back a little, and everything in the dream is clearly visible and vivid.

"Hum!" At this moment, a light emanated from the stone tablet in front of him again, followed by a line of small words: "The greedy are like a flood and a beast, and eventually eat themselves;

"I'll go, it turns out that this is the so-called assessment!" Zhang Chao gasped.

This assessment method ...... Too overbearing, right?

As the stele shattered in front of him, the powder of the stele turned into a path and paved the ground, extending directly towards the depths of the jungle.

"It seems that I should have passed!" Zhang Chao suddenly realized, but he didn't feel a little afraid.

If he chooses to raise an army and become the new king at the end of the year when he is in the dream, then I am afraid that he will fail this assessment.

After all, let's not talk about cultivators, but as a forger, if you are too greedy for other things, then you will forget your own heart, just like what Zhang Chao himself said in his dream, and eventually greed will continue to expand, causing itself to be destroyed in greed.

It's also a test of humanity.

Zhang Chao could only secretly rejoice, to be honest, he didn't have any interest in being a king or anything, so it was impossible for him to choose so decisively in his dream.

There are still two levels left, do you want to continue?

He wiped his cold sweat, but still stepped forward.

Anyway, you'll have to try it first!

Retreating from the battlefield is not his Zhang Chao's style.

Following the guidance of the stele powder, Zhang Chao came to the location of the second stele.

This stele is located at the foot of the mountain, and behind the stele is the steps to climb the mountain.

"Whew, will it be...... This second level is also the same as just now, right?" Zhang Chao was a little difficult, after all, after spending decades in a dream, that kind of taste was really weird.

But at the same time, it also added a lot of life experience to him, which Zhang Chao couldn't get under ordinary circumstances.

"Whatever, come on!" Zhang Chao's heart sank, and he raised his hand again and touched the stone tablet.

"Whew!" Suddenly, that feeling came again!

"Damn, it's still it!" Before he finished shouting, Zhang Chao's eyes darkened, and he fainted again......

Outside the treasure, inside the pavilion, Yun Yan's expression suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? It's really rare, that kid has already passed the first level of assessment? interesting...... But this second level ...... It's not just that simple, just having a heart that is not blinded by greed can't become a decision-making blacksmith!"
