After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 301

That night, there were no stars in the darkness, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

The resentment of the people was soaring, but the lights in the palace were brightly lit. The emperor didn't know the sufferings of the people, and he was still having fun at the banquet. Amidst the melodious sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, large plates of delicacies were brought in by the maid.

But in the so-called slum corners of the city of God, there are many homeless poor people lying in the corners of the streets, living like rats in the gutter, and their lives are not even as expensive as paper.

Now it's winter, and there is a light snowfall in Shendu City. Under the snowy night, many people are huddled together.

Some people couldn't survive this cold winter night and left the world quietly.

The corpse was frozen hard, and the dead soul was very unwilling. As if being guided, the resentment rushed into the sky, connecting with a lightning bolt and thunder in the cloud layer.

'Boom--'

The thunder was brewing in the clouds, and the lightning bared its teeth and claws, as if under the impact of this resentment, it gradually became tyrannical!

"Woooooooo..."

Some people cried, begging God to have eyes and bless the people.

In the direction of the imperial palace, the emperor was drunk, hugged his concubine, and let out a hearty and triumphant laugh.

The moment the thunder blazed, a purple-gold dragon flew up from the direction of the palace, and the next moment, a thunder formation gathered above its head and struck down heavily.

'boom!Hey! '

Lightning lightning strikes the divine dragon. The divine dragon, which is supposed to control the wind and cloud and control weather, seems to be suppressed in front of the thunder.

This is the resentment of the human heart!Even if it is the Divine Dragon of Protecting the Nation, you cannot resist it!
After realizing this, the purple-gold dragon shadow roared and slowly occupied the top of the main hall, and the thunder and lightning fell down again.

'boom!boom!boom! '

There are several lines in succession, each thicker than the other, and finally converge into a terrifying thick electric current that connects the sky and the earth, falling straight down.

The dazzling electric light connected the entire palace, and countless people let out earth-shattering screams.

The dragon protecting the country coiled into a ball, protecting the emperor inside.

The electric light shrouded it, and the exquisite buildings disintegrated under the electric light, turning into fly ash.

A large number of people died tragically on the spot, and thick smoke was everywhere.

The previously majestic Shenlong was covered in scars all over his body, but he was no longer as brave as before, and became dying.

Under His protection, the main hall was protected. The emperor who was still in shock raised his head, the table in front of him had been shattered, and the delicious food and wine on it were scattered all over the floor.

The beauties at the banquet ran away screaming, and the palace servants and eunuchs screamed:
"Lightning strikes down... Lightning strikes down!"

Outside the palace, sparks flew up, blending with the goose feather snow, forming a very strange but beautiful picture.

But the next moment, these sparks fell around the palace and turned into thick smoke!
"Water! Fire!"

Someone was shouting in the distance, and not long after that, there was the sound of gongs and drums.

The fire ignited quickly, and soon the palace was full of smoke. The embarrassing emperor was helped out by the palace servants, and the hall was already engulfed in flames.

The servants and palace people in the palace brought water to put out the fire one after another, but how could these feeble manpower be against the power of God.

The most important thing is that not to mention the ferocity of the fire, the ground began to tremble.

The earthquake came quickly and violently, without warning.

The ground of Shendu was torn apart vigorously, criss-cross gullies appeared, and countless houses were destroyed.

Many innocent people are still asleep, buried in collapsed houses defenseless.

There were cries, screams, and dogs barking one after another.

Many people dragged their children with their daughters in the middle of the night, supporting the elderly and scrambling to escape.

The earthquake became stronger and stronger, and the houses fell down layer by layer like harvested ears of wheat.

In an instant, most of the buildings in the imperial capital were destroyed.

In the darkness, above the imperial palace in the direction of the inner city of God's Capital, a scarred purple-gold dragon was occupying the top of the main hall, refusing to retreat.

The fire couldn't burn his body, but the earthquake seemed to have caused him great harm.

His scales peeled off in pieces, a lot of blood spilled, and he let out a painful but helpless cry.

A large number of people died, and after death, their resentment turned into the sharpest razor in the world, digging scales and skinning the dragon that protects the country!
……

Zijin Shenlong screamed again and again, and the splashed blood flew away.

As more people died, the Dragon Protecting the Nation screamed harder, and Daqing's national fortune was rapidly diminishing.

The tragic situation of this night lasted for a long time, and the human lives in the darkness were continuously harvested, almost turning the former Daqing Kingdom into a purgatory on earth.

The earthquake finally stopped, and the sky finally slowly lit up.

Most of the people have lost their houses. In the corners of the streets, many men holding their parents and women holding children are crying helplessly.

They are both unfortunate and fortunate.

Fortunately, in this disaster, compared with those who were buried and died, they survived.

But unfortunately, although his life was saved, he may have lost his relatives and his pitiful family property.

On the ruins of the ruins, many people cried and dug up the tiles with their bare hands, trying to salvage some valuable property and food.

Afterwards, merchants in the city took the opportunity to raise the price of rice, and the people complained.

After several days and nights, the fire in the palace finally dissipated, and the Dragon Protecting the Country was dying.

The emperor, who had been terrified by thunder and fire for the past few days, sat high on the Golden Luan Hall, looking at the battered courtiers below with a look of impatience.

The courtiers are all playing:
"Your Majesty, under the calamity of heaven, the people's lives are difficult..."

"There are countless casualties in the city, corpses pile up, and the yamen is overwhelmed..."

"...these corpses need to be buried, otherwise, in time, I'm afraid it will form a plague..."

"Recently, the number of criminals has increased, and cases of robbery and rape have occurred frequently..."

The ministers who performed their duties stepped forward one by one and talked about what happened after the disaster. The emperor's swollen face showed a look of boredom, as if he didn't want to hear more.

"The treasury is empty..."

In other words, the imperial court had no money and no food.

Everyone was overwhelmed and discussed.

After listening for a while, the emperor finally jumped into a rage and said:
"It's just a pariah. If you don't have anything to do, you will be proud, and you will be easy to work. Why not die now?"

"I am rich in the world. There are tens of thousands of people in Daqing. It's just that some untouchables died. Why do you bother me with trivial matters?"

The fat emperor was very impatient.

After the disaster, he didn't sleep very comfortably. Although the palace servants and servants have tried their best to serve him and temporarily built a temporary residence for him, how can this be as comfortable and convenient as his own palace?
Coupled with the natural disaster, many people died, and the food was in short supply. He hadn't eaten for several days, so he couldn't feel better.

"Now that the palace is burned down, I don't know how to eat, and I can't sleep at night. Now the money will naturally be used to rebuild the palace!"

The emperor's voice was loud, and all the courtiers looked at each other, speechless.

"As for the existence of corpses in the capital of God..." the emperor waved his hand:
"Then distribute the disc."

Daqing has preferential treatment for Taoist priests. Once they enter the Taoist school, the past will be wiped out.

This sentence means: Even if you have committed crimes and committed many crimes before, if you "reform from your mistakes and do good" and can enter the Taoist door, you will forget about the past.

And this decree was issued during the Taizu period.

The reason why Taizu issued this decree was because he was grateful for the great contributions made by the Taoist sect in the process of establishing the country, so he was willing to treat the Taoist sect kindly.

However, after Taizu issued this decree, he also saw the hidden dangers of this decree, so he ordered future generations not to abuse this decree, lest some scum take the opportunity to escape and use the Taoist sect as a protective umbrella.

Daqing has been passed down for hundreds of years, and many generations of emperors have never dared to violate this order. Until now, the emperor broke the ban:

"As long as one corpse is buried, petty crimes can be avoided; if two corpses are buried, the crime of tattooing and exile will also be avoided; if five corpses are buried, Taoism plates can be distributed, and past crimes will not be pursued."

"At the same time, the people are ordered to bury the bones of their relatives by themselves. If they don't do so, they will be arrested and tortured by the soldiers of the five cities!"

With a decree, it became a carnival for countless people.

Many people were buried on the spot, and a large number of scum took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the Taoist gate and ruin the reputation of Taoism.

Many innocent people cried and cried, and their grievances became even more intense.

After that, the emperor didn't stop there, but forced the peasants to repair the palace for him.

Then the sun and the moon alternate, and time flies like an arrow.

Eight years passed, and countless peasants were whipped and driven to build palaces for the emperor.

Many people were overwhelmed and died under this hall, and their bodies were buried on the spot.

Many families lost the pillars of the family, leaving only orphans and widows, and ended up miserable.

The palace hall was completed again, far more resplendent than before.

But what Yao Shouning saw was the piles of human bones under the palace;

She saw that the Divine Dragon of Protecting the Nation occupying the golden palace became thinner and smaller until it was dying.

On the main street of Shendu, the people are naked and skinny.

……

Yao Shouning burst into tears.

She was like a big dream, and tears welled up in her eyes before she finally woke up.

I don't know how long this dream has been going on, the firefoil in her hand is a bit hot to hold, the prince beside her is full of anger, his white jade-like face is flushed red, his eyes are out of focus, obviously he hasn't woken up from the dream .

'Hiss——' Yao Shouning sniffed lightly and let out a sobbing sound.

This tiny sound quickly pulled Shizi out of the big dream.

'Dengdeng. '

He took two steps back one after another, his face was pale, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Sir."

Yao Shouning has experienced the scene of "out of body" several times, and he has long been used to it, so he hurriedly went to help him.

Lu Zhi subconsciously grasped her soft little hand. Obviously, he didn't often experience this kind of "fantasy". At this time, his heart was not calm, so he firmly grabbed her hand and asked pantingly:
"We...we just..."

"Our consciousness has returned to 350 seven years ago."

She said softly.

Both of them were silent, and their hearts were very heavy.

When Lu Zhi mentioned the historical records of that year, it was clear and logical.

But the number of people who died in the history books is cold, and the impact on people is extremely huge when they really witness the death of those lives one after another.

The son lost his soul and was shocked in his heart.

The cries of the people were loud, his eyes were slightly red, and he felt that there was a surge of anger in his heart, as if he wanted to find a vent and rush out.

Both of them were extremely depressed. Lu Zhi took a deep breath, not wanting Yao Shouning to see the glint in his eyes. He raised his head subconsciously, but saw a change on the stone wall.

"Shouning, look quickly!" He yelled in surprise.

Yao Shouning followed his voice and saw that the dark stone wall turned into a vast ocean, and a long, bony dragon was swaying in the ocean.

In the ocean, countless corpses emerged, forming a huge island, supporting a palace high up.

"sea of ​​bitterness!"

"sea of ​​bitterness!"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and goosebumps popped out of their bodies.

There is no bounds in the sea of ​​​​suffering - it should have turned back.

But Emperor Yong'an didn't look back back then, and Emperor Shenqi didn't look back either.

The Daqing Dynasty, a dynasty built on the blood and sweat of the people, has finally decayed and is about to collapse.

Take a closer look at this moment, what kind of dark 'sea' is this? It is clearly a sea of ​​blood made up of the blood and sweat of the common people!
Shizi's scalp was numb, and his heart was shaken again.

The painful faces of the people on the stone wall were so lifelike that he couldn't bear to look directly at them.

Such a scene was so shocking that even Lu Zhi's heart of martial arts was shaken by the shock, and the power of destiny in his body seemed to be like a flood of power that opened the gate, and began to escape.

'Crack—crack—'

Cracks began to be heard in the stone wall. The sound was very ear-piercing, and Lu Zhi was awakened from his daze and retreat.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yao Shouning's terrified face.

The underground palace shook again, Shizi's heart beat like a beating, and he grabbed Yao Shouning's hand:

"Don't be afraid."

He comforted her, then looked directly at the picture!
At the moment of staring straight at him, all the scenes rushed to his face!

The fishy smell of the sea of ​​blood is soaring!The grievances of the people cry out!The vain ghost howled unwillingly!The pungent and rancid smell of the rich and powerful mixed with pleasure penetrated into Lu Zhi's mind at once.

His eyeballs turned from black to red, as if they were bleeding red, his face was ferocious, and there was a deep hostility in those eyebrows.

But at this moment, the power of destiny in his body began to operate, comforting the undead one by one, and began to stabilize the foundation of the country.

The son was born in the royal family since he was a child, enjoying rich clothes and fine food.

He is the proud son of heaven, he doesn't know the sufferings of the world, and he doesn't have empathy and empathy.

But he was lucky to meet Yao Shouning.

The two met, knew each other, and influenced each other, which made him restrain his willful and lawless behavior, and learned to be tolerant and considerate.

Lu Zhi's face was pale, and the blood in his pupils spread, quickly swallowing the whites of his eyes. His eyeballs were bloody red at first, and then turned purple-black.

But at this moment, a little blood appeared in his forehead, which seemed to be affecting him and kept him clear at last.

Let the son's spiritual consciousness not be swallowed up by the resentment of the people for hundreds of years, his expression may be gloomy or violent, and occasionally there will be a little struggle.

"Sir..."

Although Yao Shouning didn't know what the son had gone through, with a strong premonition, she knew that Lu Zhi was at a critical moment and could not be disturbed.

Therefore, she bit her lips tightly, and silently recited the word "Shizi" in her heart, but she dared not speak out, for fear of interrupting him and leaving disaster behind.

At this moment, Lu Zhi dragged her forward with a blank expression.

He didn't look like he had regained his sanity. Yao Shouning was worried, so he obeyed his movements and followed him with a fire bag.

Lu Zhi approached the rippling 'sea of ​​bitterness', the closer he got, the stronger the impact of the picture.

Fortunately, the Bianji clan was born extraordinary. Although Yao Shouning was greatly shocked, he did not lose his mind.

She just suppressed her fear and watched Lu Zhi hold her with one hand, then raised her with the other, and put it on the mural.

He pulled Yao Shouning forward, and wiped away the rest of the 'sea of ​​bitterness' covered by dust.

Wherever he went, there was only the sound of 'brushing' when his palms touched the murals.

At some point, the trembling sound in the tunnel stopped.

The two gradually walked into the depths of the underground palace, and wiped out the entire long tunnel, revealing the complete 'sea of ​​bitterness'!
In the 'sea of ​​bitterness', countless people were immersed in it, suffering terribly.

"Don't worry, everyone—"

After an unknown amount of time, the son's voice came faintly:

"I heard everyone's voices—"

At this time, Lu Zhi was no longer the arrogant and awe-inspiring son of the general's family, no longer the young man who had to take revenge, and no longer the person who refused to admit defeat in the slightest when he quarreled with Yao Shouning.

He seemed to have matured a lot in an instant, and his voice was full of compassion and understanding for these people:
"In the future, I will supervise the monarch and pay attention to everyone's suffering."

Lu Zhi raised his hand, as if swearing:
"Whether I have the blood of the Daqing royal family or not,"

His words seemed to resonate in the tunnel, and the underground labyrinth buzzed.

"Whether I am the heir to the royal family or not, I will try my best to plead for the lives of the living people. If the dynasty is corrupt, if the emperor is fatuous, then I will no longer kneel to him and be loyal to him! If the dynasty is not good, I will look for someone A heart of benevolence, a person who loves the people like a son.”

"This world, after all, belongs to the people of the world. The royal family is only the ruler of the kingdom, not the owner. At that time, I will help change the dynasty, cut off the decay, regenerate the broken limbs, and support new ones," he paused. After a while, he said categorically:
"A new emperor who loves the people like a son comes out!"

He said:
"Maybe in my lifetime, I can't fulfill these vows, but I will try my best to do it!"

Such words are resounding, obviously he didn't say them casually to fool the souls of the innocent.

The moment the voice fell, it became a heaven and earth oath.

The tremors in the tunnel stopped, and the loud cries disappeared one by one.

'Boom--'

But at this moment, Yao Shouning seemed to hear lightning and thunder in his heart.

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

Under the witness of heaven and earth, what Lu Zhi said formed a sacred contract.

And she is the witness of this heaven and earth contract!

"Sir..."

Yao Shouning shouted tremblingly.

Lu Zhi turned his head, the light in his eyes gradually faded, the trembling of the four voices stopped, the resentment of the people gradually disappeared, the blackness in Lu Zhi's eyes receded, and he gradually returned to his usual appearance.

But he is still a little different, it seems that he has grown up after this incident, he has become more mature and restrained, and he is no longer the unscrupulous person he used to be.

She witnessed the process of a teenager's mental growth.

"Ok?"

He turned his head, and his expression had returned to clarity.

"You just..."

Yao Shouning was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see something strange happening. Then he changed the subject, pointed to the stone wall, and shouted, "Look!"
