Chapter 555: Mao Shun's Choice

Mao Shun saw that Zhang Xiaojing didn't answer, and said to himself: "When I built this light tower, I suddenly thought of this question, and I laughed for several days!" ”

Zhang Xiaojing said in a deep voice: "You are the national teacher Mao Shun!" Did the mayfly kidnap your family as a threat? Where are they? I'll help you save people. ”

A trace of pain flashed across his face, and Mao Shun pointed not far away and said, "Excuse me, go behind the Tianshu pillar in the middle, in a wooden box, and take something for me." I'll tell you the secret of this lighthouse! ”

Zhang Xiaojing turned around and quickly went to get it, a simple wooden box one foot square, opened it and put a box inside, obviously the contents were very important. It turned out to be a delicate miniature version of the light tower component, which seems to have been used to demonstrate the simulation to people.

"Kirin arm? This is the secret of the lamp room, where is it in the lamp mountain? Zhang Xiaojing asked.

Mao Shun drank a little wine and introduced: "This lamp mountain is just his initial appearance, and at the end, the lamp body will transform into a statue of Lao Tzu, a saint, and he will die in the eyes of the statue of Lao Tzu." ”

"How can I make it stop!" Zhang Xiaojing was angry and anxious.

"Around Lao Tzu's body, there are twelve lamp rooms, among which the twelve heavenly statues of Taoism are placed. As soon as the ugly is coming, when the whole lamp tower is on fire, the lamp room as high as the sky suddenly lights up and unfolds in mid-air, what a gorgeous scene? Those Chang'an people who love to be lively, when they see this scene, I'm afraid, they will be excited to go crazy! Mao Shun said proudly.

Zhang Xiaojing has been studying how to crack it, "Qilin arm, the connecting rod of the lamp room is the Qilin arm?" ”

"Ah, that's right. The biggest feature of the unicorn arm is that it can be replaced under the pretext of maintenance, so that Long Bo only needs to pretend to be a craftsman before lighting the lamp, transport the unicorn arm filled with stone grease, and replace it with a little heating. That's it. ”

"Let me ask, throughout the ages, who can make it except for me Mao Shun?"

Zhang Xiaojing was so angry that he really wanted to twist the old man's neck, "How can I make it stop?!" As long as the mechanism of the center is cut off, the center does not explode, and then the unicorn arm of the lamp room is cut off, the lamp tower will not be able to explode......"

"Hehe, the kid has some talent, but it's a pity, it's late!" Mao Shun didn't say more.

Zhang Xiaojing asked angrily: "As a national teacher, why did you cooperate with the thieves to destroy my Chang'an?" ”

Mao Shun said with a little drunkenness: "I'm greedy." ”

"You have fame and fortune, what more do you want?"

"I just like fame, I can't just be a bad old man mixed in with the millions of people in Chang'an City." Mao Shun squinted his eyes and said.

Zhang Xiaojing simply sat down cross-legged, "But now you build a lantern tower and assassinate the person who gave you fame and fortune." ”

With a long sigh, Mao Shun said lonely: "No way, some people talk like sprinkling seeds, scattering them in their hearts, and sooner or later they will sprout." ”

Well? Asked the point, Zhang Xiaojing hurriedly asked: "Who sowed seeds for you?" ”

Mao Shun raised his eyes and looked at the lantern tower, and said with some sadness: "It cost Datang four million dollars to build this lantern tower, and at the beginning, the sage chose my plan, and I am very happy." There is a house that has been fancied for a long time in Leyouyuan, and you can buy this lamp after you build it. ”

"However, there was a flood in Yingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of victims, and the DPRK had no money to provide disaster relief. Some people say that maybe the saint will stop building the lantern tower, and four million dollars can save the lives of these victims. But there was never an order to stop the construction. One day, I was on the construction site of the lantern tower, and I heard someone say that one money can buy two Hu cakes, so that one person can live one more day, and if it is a doll, it can live for two days! ”

Zhang Xiaojing's heart moved, why did he feel that this tone was so familiar?

"Who told you that?"

Mao Shun said with emotion: "From that day on, this sentence has been hovering in my heart. The higher this lighthouse was built, the more scared I became. I know, I'm living a wrong ......"

"Who told you that?" Zhang Xiaojing asked.

Mao Shun said: "Nobody, I can't even see his face clearly." But, what he said was right! ”

"I want fame through the ages, notoriety! My father told me that craftsmen seek the work of thousands of generations, not the work of one generation and one lifetime. ”

"I turned this big lantern tower pretending to be peaceful into a weapon, so that the emperor in front of me would be wiped out at the happiest time. Since then, my notoriety has been spread for thousands of generations, and all craftsmen in later generations will learn from me, know how to make things before making tools, and understand that only what is really useful. ”

"They will understand that to the people, bread is much more beautiful than the lamphouse, and no one will waste national strength and create such an illusion."

After Mao Shun finished speaking, Zhang Xiaojing's face was ugly, but he was helpless, everyone had their own choice.

Xiao Doudou couldn't help but applaud: "Wow, grandpa, you are so great!" ”

"Huh? Aren't you afraid, child? I will die with the Emperor today. Mao Shun asked in surprise.

"Scared? Didn't you say send me out? Why be afraid? I don't know the emperor. Besides, if you do something wrong, you should be punished. If you have money to build a lantern tower, you won't be able to provide disaster relief, regardless of the life or death of the people, such an emperor should be damned! Xiao Doudou seems to have returned to the old days, the kind of angry youth that ran rampant in Chang'an.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is not a personal vendetta that can be explained, it is easy to kill the emperor, but the consequences are not so simple!" Zhang Xiaojing shouted loudly.

Mao Shun laughed: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the queen of Qin, hey...... If His Royal Highness King Qin is still there, how good it would be, in this world, the Wu Zhou Dynasty has reached its peak, and in just ten years, how can it come to the point where the people are not living? ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaojing and asked, "Everyone has a choice, now, it's your turn to choose." Do you choose to save the emperor, or do you choose to save the people? If you save the people, up first! ”

After listening to the story, Zhang Xiaojing sighed, almost did not hesitate, got up and saluted Mao Shun respectfully, and then personally picked up the wine jug, filled Mao Shun with a glass, and saw him off.

He found a torch, lit the lead of the barrel of fire thunder, pulled up his small pocket, and walked upwards without looking back.

"Don't, grandpa is a good man, I don't want him to die!" Little Doudou struggled.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "No one can save those who are dead." Fulfill him. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Doudou was stunned, and reluctantly bowed to Mao Shun, Mao Shun squeezed out a smile and waved his hand, "Remember to tell Long Bo to send this child out." The ugly is burning the lamp and blowing up, you don't have much time. ”

"Everyone, take responsibility for their own choices, I think, it's worth it!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup, closed his eyes calmly, and after a while, there was a loud bang, and the entire lamp tower trembled.

A bucket of fire thunder had limited power and did not affect the main structure of the entire light tower, Zhang Xiaojing pulled a small pocket and trotted all the way to the top floor.
