Chapter 245: Taizu

Chu Bai walked around the spirit sword and muttered, "How could it not be?" I saw ......."

Chu Hanxing lowered his eyes, his fingers stroked the sword body, and finally put it away with his fingertips.

"Sleep."

The lights were turned off, and the room was dark, and Chu Bai opened his mouth and swallowed his words.

I slept too long during the day, Chu Bai didn't fall asleep, opened the door lightly, came to the living room and went around, and finally jumped on the window of the balcony, squatting and looking out of the window.

The house spirit came to its side, shook it in front of Chu Bai's eyes, saw that it didn't move, and looked out the window along Chu Bai's line of sight, one or two street lamps illuminated the road, nothing unusual.

"Nothing, what are you looking at?" The house spirit asked.

Chu Bai was a little distracted, didn't look back, and muttered: "After people die, there is no color, the world is dusty, a dead air, and it's not fun at all." ”

Zhai Ling deeply agrees: "During the New Year's holidays, you can only eat cold dishes and cold rice." ”

After speaking, the house spirit asked curiously, "No, what are you talking about this?" Is it worrying? ”

Chu Bai was motionless, the aura around him was changing subtly, quiet and solemn, and the usual heartless appearance was like two tigers, the house spirit looked at it, and there was a feeling that he was staring into the abyss, which was too strange.

Chu Bai shook his head and did not answer the house spirit.

The room was quiet, and when Chu Yu came back, he didn't make a sound.

"Don't sleep?" Chu Yu rubbed its head.

Chu Bai raised his head, "I have something to ask you." ”

Chu Yu turned his hand, lifted Chu Bai on his right shoulder, and pointed his finger at the little head of the house spirit: "Go out to play?" ”

"No, no, no." The house spirit shook his head into a rattle, for fear that Chu Yu would pick it up and leave.

Chu Yu withdrew his hand regretfully, "Okay." ”

They didn't go far, Chu Yu took Chu Bai to blow the wind on the roof of the building.

Chu Baiyuan's eyes were a little puzzled, Chu Yu stretched out his hand, "It's going to be noisy at home." ”

Chu Bai puffed out his face, "Two thousand years ago, what happened?" ”

Chu Yu's eyes sank, and the breath around him suddenly cooled, the moist cold air turned into a biting cold, and layers of hoarfrost rose on the ground, and at that moment, it seemed that even the air was frozen.

There was a clear smile on his lips, but he pressed his eyebrows, and the eyes under the arch of his eyebrows were dark and dull, bloody and murderous.

Chu Bai was stunned.

"Scared?"

Chu Yu touched its head, and the terrifying aura dissipated completely, and it turned into that lazy appearance again, as if it was just its illusion.

Chu Yu casually kicked the stone at his feet, "Ah Bai, I'll send you away." ”

Chu Bai looked dazed, not understanding why the topic had changed so quickly.

Seeing that Chu Yu suddenly stood up straight, and was about to send it away in the next second, Chu Bai immediately said, "I won't leave!" ”

It slapped Chu Yu with a meat pad indignantly, "I want to know what happened to the national teacher of the Chu State two thousand years ago, and the current Chu Hanxing."

How did she fall into a state of dispossession, her memory was lost, and why she didn't even know the feeling of 'pain'. ”

The wind was very strong, and Chu Bai's voice was blown away, leaving only a pair of round red eyes to show that it was not calm in its heart.

It rubbed its nose and sobbed without crying: "Chu Yu, you can't leave me." ”

The picture overlapped with the sound, Chu Yu was slightly stunned, wrapped his big palm around Chu Bai's head, lowered his head and looked at it, its round eyes were full of grievances.

He sighed lightly, "Two thousand years ago, the royal family of the Jin Kingdom was addicted to wine, which made the people miserable, starved all over the wilderness, and there was no way to live, and the people could only rise up.

And the person who took the lead, surnamed Chu, killed the royal family of the Jin State and established the Chu State, he was the later Taizu, and it was he who brought back Xiao Yue'er. ”

Chu Bai: "Why her?" ”

Chu Yu closed his eyes, "It will only be her." ”

……

Two thousand years ago, the state of Chu.

At that time, Taizu had been on the throne for more than 20 years, he governed the country very well, the people were rich in food and clothing, and the taxes were relaxed, and everyone praised him as a good emperor, and the founding of the country was a prosperous era.

Only Taizu himself knew how terrifying the scene in his dream was when he dreamed back at midnight.

In the dream, there has not been a drop of rain for three years, the earth is dry until it cracks, and everyone's mouth on the street is dry until it is peeling, and its steps are vain, and the next second it will fall.

There was no water in the wells, and all the springs and rivers dried up, as if there had never been such a thing as "water" in the world.

The hunger and thirst brought about by the great drought made people morally low, and there were two-legged sheep hanging on the streets, people changed their children to eat, and new graves increased every day, and they were buried that night, and the next day they were dug up, and the corpses were gone.

Without water, they drank blood to quench their thirst, but the spread of blood caused infectious diseases to rage.

For three years, the street that used to be overcrowded, after the drought, not even a single hair could be seen.

This is still under the imperial city full of rich merchants, not to mention other counties in the world.

During this period, the emperor asked shamans, monks, Taoist priests, and even folk magicians to pray for rain from heaven, but to no avail.

After three years of drought, they could only survive it, and in the end, the entire continent had only 30,000 people left.

Without birth control, population growth was rapid, but the drought was followed by floods.

Doctors from all over the world gathered to study the cure, and finally came to a conclusion: there is no cure.

When infected, there is only one dead word.

After a large number of people died of the plague, only a few thousand people remained on the mainland.

However, the plague has not gone away, and there are still sporadic people who fall for no reason every day, and there is no longer life.

It seems that every breath of air exhaled is tinged with warmth.

Eventually, the entire continent sank to the bottom.

There are no living people in the world.

Hearing the news, Taizu woke up from his dream sweating profusely, and in a panic, he picked up the teapot and poured a stomach full of water.

Thirsty, this is the only word in his head.

The dream was too clear and too real, and he felt as if he were there.

The warmth of the blood splashing on his face, the smell of the dirt being dug open from the grave, and the thirst of his body no matter how much water he drank, all told him that the dream was real.

All the people in the world have died, and there is no longer the existence of the species of "human" in the world, and this prophecy is like a spell, which is entangled in Taizu's mind all the time.

Taizu didn't know when the drought would occur, but he told himself that he had to stop the disaster.

He began to visit the monks in various places, and their prophecies did indeed predict a great drought, no one could be saved, and no matter how much mankind struggled, it would only lead to destruction.

Taizu didn't believe it, and posted to recruit talented people from all over the world, and killed I don't know how many liars who were greedy for bounties, but he still couldn't find someone who could solve this problem.

Taizu was in great pain, and every night he had to watch those people go from despair to renewed hope, to collapse, to numbness, to death.
