Chapter 44: Akali's Remorse

"Princess, aren't you just like Fluttershy," Yunhai muttered. "And the Western society is really completely different from Shenzhou, I really don't know what kind of vicious guy that Lucas I is, he wants to destroy all the Shenzhou sects and conquer all the residents of Shenzhou for no reason."

"Don't speak ill of my father!" Akali interrupted loudly when she heard the broken thoughts of Yunhai.

"Then you mean that we still have to welcome your aggression!"

"Are you looking for death!" Akalijiao shouted, and was about to grab the long sword next to her, but she suddenly lost her strength and fell to the ground with a painful cry, but her eyes were still unwillingly staring at the sea of clouds.

"Let me ask you, do you know why your father wanted to invade Shenzhou?"

"He told us that he would include the whole world in the territory of my kingdom of Lucas, and let the whole world become the courtiers of our Lucas family. ”

"Then do you know the meaning of this sentence?" the sea of clouds continued to ask.

"This" Akali seemed to be dumb suddenly, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't answer the reason. "My father didn't tell me, and no one else told me, I just knew that I was the eldest princess of this kingdom, the future queen of this kingdom, and I had to obey my father's orders. ”

"Fluttershy doesn't have her own name, and she doesn't have a soul of her own, so it's really a little similar" Yun Hai shook his head, his sympathy overflowing again, and said, "Come, sit here, and I'll tell you a story first, the ancient myths and legends of our Shenzhou." ”

"Okay, I heard that there are countless magical places in Shenzhou. ”

"Mmmm, once upon a time, there was a person named Houyi"

The sea of clouds chose the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, legend, a long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky, the earth was scorched, the rivers dried up, plants could not survive, animals and humans also starved to death, finally, a marksman shot down nine of the suns, but he felt that shooting down all the suns, the world will fall into endless darkness, so there is still a sun, so there is now a flourishing Shenzhou.

"This Hou Yi, who saved the world with his own strength, is really a hero worthy of respect. ”

"Yes, this is our hero of Shenzhou, as my father said, the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people. Yunhai said slowly: "I heard that there is a saying in the West, if you kill a thousand people, you are a hero, if you kill ten thousand people, you are a king, and if you kill everyone else, you are a god." ”

"But in Shenzhou, such a person will only become a butcher, a demon, a real hero, a person who sacrifices himself to save others, so that he can win the respect and gratitude of others from the bottom of his heart. ”

"Respect and gratitude from the heart," Akali muttered as she thought intently.

"I'll tell you another story, this time it's about the ancient emperor of our Shenzhou, the Yellow Emperor. ”

"I've heard of this person, and it seems that you have a lot of respect for him. ”

"That's right, because it was he who created a new history and culture in China. Legend has it that in antiquity"

Yunhai deliberately chose the deeds of the legendary emperor of Shenzhou, the Yellow Emperor, to give Akali, who had already begun to think about what a real hero was at this time, an opportunity to compare the kings of the East and the West. Although in Shenzhou, after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there is no longer such a social system, and everyone has fully accepted such a self-sufficient social system, but the legend of the Yellow Emperor has not been abandoned by the times, and is still being sung by every generation of Shenzhou residents.

The Yellow Emperor was originally the leader of many tribes located in the western loess, one day, the tribal leader Yan Di from the east asked for help, because the leader of Jiuli, Chi You, obtained the power of gods and demons, and began a large-scale invasion, and the adjacent Yan Emperor suffered first, and it was difficult to resist, so he had to ask the emperor for help. Out of the protection of the peace of Shenzhou, the Yellow Emperor chose to fight with the demon god Chiyou to the end, but he himself is also a mortal, even if he unites with Emperor Yan, it is difficult to resist Chiyou who has the power of gods and demons, at this time, the gods attacked. The gods mined the copper of the first mountain and helped the emperor forge Xuanyuan, and finally, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou in the battle of Julu and killed him. But the good times did not last long, Emperor Yan felt that the status of the Yellow Emperor overshadowed himself, so he challenged it, after a fight, Emperor Yan was defeated, but the emperor did not chase and beat it, but just exiled it to southern Xinjiang, and finally, Emperor Yan's ethnic group developed into today's inhabitants of southern Xinjiang and the Ten Thousand Snake Hall of the Southern Xinjiang sect.

The Yellow Emperor felt that Shenzhou had been devastated, the people were displaced, and the war had brought too much harm, so he began to make great efforts to restore the livelihood of the people and improve the quality of life of the people.

"In Shenzhou, this is the real monarch, and a war maniac like the demon god Chiyou will be killed by the whole world, who is right and who is wrong, do you understand?"

"However, I am the princess of the kingdom of Lucas, and it is my duty to obey my father's orders" Akali was already in a state of confusion and confusion, and her intuition told her that what she had done in the past was not so right. As Yunhai said, the real monarch should be someone who can bring happiness to the people, not someone who brings fear to the people. When she stepped onto the battlefield and killed people who had nothing to do with her, Akali felt guilty and asked if she had done something wrong, but she thought it was a resounding excuse for the sake of her country to cover it up. When she walked into the ruined city, saw the old people struggling and begging in the ruins, saw the children, women, and old people crying because of the loss of their fathers, husbands, and sons because of the war, Akali thought only that the enemy was to blame for it all, but now she had to face the fact that she was just as much an executioner and a devil as the people she hunted and hated on the battlefield.

"Akali, everything in the past, maybe it's just that you don't know why, maybe it's just that you haven't thought about the consequences of everything, but it seems to me that you don't have a soul of your own, you are just doing everything according to your father's orders, if everything is left to your own choice, will you still go to the battlefield?

Yun Hai approached Akali, who was already flustered, step by step, and continued to question: "My lover, Princess Asura, maybe you don't know the race of Asuras, but what you need to know is that this race is the people of God, far stronger than us mortals. When I met her, she didn't even have her own name, at least, you still have your own name, you have to be luckier than her. Don't kill and invade under such high-sounding excuses as the kingdom and the people, you can't deceive anyone but yourself!"

"You lied to me! How do I know that everything you say is true!Father told me that all the places we conquer will become part of the kingdom of Lucas, and enjoy the same glory as we do!" Akali was now severely shaken, and she cried out hoarsely, as if the thought pattern that had been ingrained in her heart all along, the last struggle before crumbling.

"Don't you believe it? No wonder, you have always been a pampered princess, but I'm afraid that you rarely even leave the palace, how can you know the suffering of the common people. Yun Hai didn't care at all, he knew that Akali was already struggling with the worst of his life. "Take myself as an example, when I was a child, I was just the child of an ordinary farmer on the border of the northern grassland, when I was thirteen years old, my hometown suddenly broke out of a drought that had never been seen before, my mother and sister died in a sudden disaster, my father and I fled to the south, but at the foot of Tianzheng Mountain encountered bandits, my father was killed, I was also seriously injured, and was rescued by Yuan Ye, the first seat of Yuheng Peak, and adopted as a disciple. ”

"When I was very young, my mother died," Akali muttered. "If it's really as you said, then I'm really wrong and pitiful, what have I lived for the past sixteen years?"

"Like you, I have been a puppet of anger and hatred, and I have paid a heavy price for it. Back then, I was carried away by hatred, and I was bent on revenge and was almost killed, but in the end, my sister, who was like my sister and brother, saved me in time. Speaking of Yuan Ying, Yun Hai's eyes couldn't help but dim. "When I didn't know what to do in the future after I avenged my father, she told me that maybe people don't understand the meaning of their existence, but as long as they try to find it, they must have their own meaning. Moreover, you are still a princess, a future queen, and I think that if you want to be merciful to the people, you must first make yourself a noble person. Like the sun in the sky, give yourself, shine brightly, and bring light to others. ”

"Can someone like me do this?" Akali buried her head in her chest, not seeing her expression at this time, but presumably, she must be very remorseful.

"If you don't even have that confidence, you really can't do it. At least, I'm sure you can do it. ”

"Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, faith, honesty, justice," Akali said slowly, becoming more and more distracted.

"What is this?" Yun Hai knew the meaning of each word, but he didn't know what special meaning there was when these eight noble words were connected together.
