After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 389 Getting Ready

What Liu Bingzhou thought and said before was just to appease Yao Wanning temporarily and let her not do stupid things.

Because of the 'wedding' in the dream, she had a bond with the 'River God', and even had a child between one person and one evil spirit. This matter itself was already very strange.

Judging from the previous situation, Yao Wanning had a certain influence on the 'River God', so after guessing that the situation was serious, she wanted to help the Yao family together.

But she felt sorry for Yao's family and worried about Liu Bingzhou, and Liu Bingzhou was also worried about the health of this granddaughter.

After all, the "River God" is already an evil spirit, influenced by evil spirits, acting in accordance with the guidance of instinctive resentment, which is about to bring disaster to the gods.

Based on Liu Bingzhou's understanding of such great evil spirits over the years, he believes that 'they' are not rational, but are influenced by evil nature, and may give priority to attacking the close blood relatives in front of 'their'.

If this is the case, it is not only useless for Yao Wanning to stay, but it may be dangerous.

"Okay." Yao Shouning nodded without hesitation:
"According to what I said earlier, let the elder brother take the elder sister, leave the gods for the time being, and live in the Qingfeng temple in the name of praying for the mother."

Chaos is imminent in Shendu City, and those who stay in the city may not escape death.

Yao Ruoyun is just an ordinary scholar with a little strength, but in the face of the power of evil spirits, these strengths are vulnerable.

On July [-]th, when the rumored gate of hell is wide open.

Yao Shouning's back felt cold, and his hands and feet were cold.

She pursed her lips:
"Grandfather, I have a hunch—"

There were only grandparents and grandchildren left in the room, and she did not hide her foreknowledge:
"'River God' is coming, when 'he' comes, I, I saw you..."

Thinking of Liu Bingzhou's tragic situation in the illusion, her eyes turned red, and the tears she had held back for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore, and flowed out.

At this moment, a slender hand pinched the neatly folded veil and handed it to her.

She stretched out her hand to take it in a daze, but saw Liu Bingzhou looking at her with a smile, with understanding and distress in his eyes.

"I saw that you saved the people in the city—" She said excitedly, but she saw that Liu Bingzhou was not surprised by her words, so she stopped in the middle of her words, and her eyes were clouded with tears:
"Did you already guess it?" she asked crying.

'well. 'Liu Bingzhou sighed silently, showing a helpless smile, and said softly:

"Shouning, don't be sad." He seemed to have some headaches, and his long gray eyebrows slanted slightly frowned, and continued:
"More than 30 years ago, we knew the purpose of Yaoxie, the existence of the 'River God', and the identity of 'him'."

After Yingtian Bookstore, Zhang Raozhi guessed that the day when the 'River God' would die would come sooner or later.

"Grandfather has lived to this age and has experienced a lot." He smiled slightly, and reached out to touch the top of Yao Shouning's head:
"Although I have never been an official in my life, I have read a lot of poetry and books, and I can cultivate myself from the books. Although your grandmother died young, she left me a pair of daughters, each with a family." He is open-minded, even if he knows the news of his death , but did not look sad, but smiled to comfort the crying granddaughter:

"Your mother gave birth to three good children. Although Zhizhu unfortunately passed away early, she also left behind Miaozhen and Qingchun. I was single in my early years, but I was still full of grandchildren in my later years. Now I can enjoy family happiness even more. To have my son-in-law and you all around my knees, everyone being filial and obedient, wouldn’t this be a great joy in life?”

"Grandfather..." Yao Shouning yelled in panic, as if he had no regrets in his words.

"When a person dies, it is like a flower withering and blooming. It is the most natural thing."

Liu Bingzhou smiled slightly and said:

"Shou Ning, your Zhang Zuzu is a very open-minded, interesting, and wise person. His life is far more colorful than mine."

Zhang Raozhi became famous at a young age. As the only great Confucianist in Daqing at that time, he was the leader of the literary world, sought after by everyone, even the emperor treated him with courtesy.

He has no shortage of fame and wealth, "But after he was in Yingtian Bookstore, I learned from you that he will die soon after being in Yingtian Bookstore—"

When mentioning his mentor, Liu Bingzhou's originally calm face finally had emotional ups and downs, his tone was a little choked up, and tears glistened in his eyes:
"He didn't miss the world of mortals and fight against the sky, but went to his death calmly. He just didn't want to mess up the destiny, didn't want the known history to be disordered, and he was afraid that it would affect the overall situation of the future, bring troubles to the younger generations, and bring troubles to the world. Disaster."

For a great Confucian who had achieved success in cultivation, he died in the prime of his life, and with his cultivation level, it would be no problem even if he lived for decades.

But in the end, he killed himself, condensed his lifelong cultivation into a heart of Confucianism and Taoism, and handed it over to Liu Bingzhou, asking him to hand it over to Yao Ruoyun in the future according to the order in which things happened.

"When the old man was dying, he told me to protect the world with benevolence and righteousness."

Other than that, he didn't say anything more.

He seems to have great trust in his own eyesight, and he is not afraid of being mistaken, and he is not worried that Liu Bingzhou will have a double heart because of the fear of death, and do some behaviors that disrupt history.

"He taught me the last lesson with his life, which is to stick to benevolence and righteousness."

This is the real great Confucianism, the real Confucian integrity!

Its heroic spirit is not inferior to martial arts, far better than ordinary people.

"Since then, I have made up my mind that when the 'River God' comes, I will defend the city with my body, fulfill the teacher's last entrustment, and let the world know that I am in the same boat as the great Confucian Zhang Raozhi. Disciple, I did not disgrace the teacher's reputation, nor did I bury the integrity of Confucianism and Taoism!"

It was not the first time that Yao Shouning foresaw the danger that Liu Bingzhou was facing, nor was it the first time that he reminded his grandfather of what he might face soon, but this was the first time that the grandparent and grandson raised this topic seriously - about the 'death of Liu Bingzhou'.

Grandfather confessed his feelings.

He had already had a death wish in his heart. Ever since he witnessed Zhang Raozhi facing death calmly, it had caused a great psychological shock to him. He had been waiting all his life.

"Compared to the silent passing of the predecessors, I died vigorously in the defense of the city. This is a gift from heaven to me." Liu Bingzhou looked at Yao Shouning with a smile:
"I don't have any regrets, the only thing I feel a little guilty about..."

Having said that, he paused, looked at Yao Shouning with guilt in his eyes:

"It just makes you witness this bad scene and makes you worry."

"Grandfather..." Yao Shouning choked up, feeling various feelings in his heart.

Liu Bingzhou knew that his death was approaching, not only did he not feel sad, but he still felt sorry for himself.

She was a little sad, with tears in her eyes, and suddenly whispered:
"July [-]th."

"What?" Liu Bingzhou paused the hand touching her head, Yao Shouning endured the grief, and repeated again:
"July [-]th," she added, "I feel that the 'River God' will appear, and you..."

She didn't say anything later, Liu Bingzhou already understood what she meant.

There was joy in his eyes:
"It seems that you have made great progress in studying with Mr. Kongshan these days, and you can already predict the specific time..."

One moment before Liu Bingzhou was still happy about Yao Shouning's progress, but the next moment he thought of something more realistic:
"July [-]th, when the rumored ghost gate is closed..." His face was stained with anxiety again:
"Today is the sixth day of July, which means there are still eight days to prepare."

The presence of the 'River God' will bring natural disasters and catastrophes, and it is very likely that people will be devastated. Only eight days are not enough to solve this matter.

What's more, hidden behind the 'River God', there is also a clan of sky demons who are ready to move, and there is Chen Taiwei, who is extraordinary but has a cultivation level that reaches the sky.

In the city of Shendu, the one who controls the lifeline of Kyoto is the extreme Emperor Shenqi!

"Eight days, eight days... only eight days left..."

Liu Bingzhou, who had always been calm and composed, also lost his composure, clasped his hands in front of his stomach, and paced back and forth.

Seeing that he didn't take her 'death date' into consideration at all, Yao Shouning couldn't help but feel a little more sad, but she also knew that things had priorities, and her grandfather was more important than her own life, so she shouldn't be here meaninglessly Sad, we should find a way to tide over the difficulties together.

right!It's man-made!

She regained her spirits and suddenly remembered something.

After her bloodline was awakened, and she and her son went to Daiwang's underground palace to travel through time and space, go back to the past, and change history, the eldest princess once reminded her: History cannot be changed.

Small changes in the past may bring immeasurable changes in the future.

As she mastered the law of time, she became more and more aware of the importance of her power.

But the past history cannot be changed, what about the future?

Could it be that the Bianji clan's ability to predict the future is just to watch bad things happen instead of doing the task and waiting for the consequences?
impossible!impossible!
Yao Shouning shook her head, another voice sounded in her heart: the past cannot be changed, but the future is in her own hands.

The talented blood of the Bianji family allowed her to 'see' what happened in the future, but this was not the final result, perhaps it was just an early warning, allowing her to prepare early.

When she thought of this, there was hope in her eyes.

"Grandfather, is the princess coming back soon?"

It has been a while since the eldest princess went to Jin to raise food. Last month, Liu Bingzhou received a letter from her, which contained two good news.

One: The son has already found enough dark wood for nourishing the soul, and the people of Shenwumen have already received the news and rushed to Jindi. Once the wood is collected, they can start to build the coffin for nourishing the soul. The Yao family can rest assured.

Second: Zhu Hengrui spent years of savings, and emptied the granary in Jindi, exceeding the original goal. As long as the last batch of corn this year matures, people will be harvested and packed quickly. Can return to God City.

This letter from the Eldest Princess was received in mid-June. Judging from the time on the letter, she wrote it in early June.

Perhaps at the beginning she was worried that Liu Bingzhou would stay in Shendu alone, and she wrote to comfort him because she was afraid that he would be worried.

"According to the letter, he should have returned."

In June, Zhu Hengrui thought that he would be able to pack his luggage and return to the capital of God in a month or so, and return to the city in a month or so.

"Perhaps it was a large group of people traveling, and it was delayed for a few days..."

It would be fine if it was any other time, but it happened to be late at this time.

Liu Bingzhou's eyes showed secret worry, and after a while he sighed:
"It doesn't matter that much..."

"Don't worry." Yao Shouning suddenly remembered something:

"When the 'River God' arrives, the Eldest Princess' family will definitely arrive in time."

Her foresight this time was mainly about Liu Bingzhou, but Yao Shouning thought that when she foresaw this for the first time, she clearly saw Shizi's family.

It's just that the situation at that time was still very critical, the "River God" gained the upper hand, and the flood water filled the mask made by Liu Bingzhou. Everyone was more or less injured, and they were already in a desperate situation.

But she looked at her grandfather's face and didn't say such words out of her mouth.

"That's good." Liu Bingzhou didn't notice the momentary hesitation on Yao Shouning's expression after he finished speaking, maybe he had already realized that the situation was not good, but he forced himself not to think in that direction.

"But no matter what, we can't sit still." He ordered:

"Shouning, you will follow what we said earlier and ask Miaozhen to urge Wanning to pack her bags." He looked serious:

"Not only Miaozhen and Wanning, but also let your uncle be notified, and your father be notified, and let them take your mother out of the city."

Disaster is approaching, and the Yao family should leave the whirlpool as soon as possible.

"You go too, don't stay."

"I'm not going." Yao Shouning shook his head, Liu Bingzhou became anxious, and Yao Shouning hurriedly said:

"Grandfather, listen to me."

The girl looked up at him, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were firm:

"Grandfather, I really don't want to go."

'well. 'Liu Bingzhou sighed, he had a headache:

"I know you care about your grandfather, but in my heart, if you still have concerns, you are the only ones. If your family leaves the capital of God and is out of danger, then I will be relieved and able to deal with this matter wholeheartedly."

"It's not like that." Hearing this, Yao Shouning shook his head:
"Grandfather, you have your persistence, and I have my own ideas."

Her voice was soft, but her expression was extremely firm.

When Liu Bingzhou saw her at the beginning, she was still an immature, crying girl, but she was growing up unknowingly, and gradually became a little tree that is now learning to withstand the wind and rain, trying to cover the crisis for the Yao family.

"You said that we are out of danger when we leave God's City," she paused, looking directly at Liu Bingzhou:
"But under the current crisis, where is there a real safe place?"

If the city of God is destroyed, then the collapse of Daqing and Tianxia will only be the beginning.

Liu Bingzhou is the first gate to resist the catastrophe brought by the "God of the River". If he can't stop it, this round of disaster will sweep the world and bring destruction to the common people in the world.

And the monster race that has been waiting for 700 years will take advantage of the situation and annex human beings, making human beings return to the dangerous environment 700 years ago, and even fall into a far more difficult predicament than 700 years ago.

"So I don't think there's anything out of danger at all."

The room fell silent, Liu Bingzhou didn't speak, just looked at his granddaughter blankly.

Yao Shouning's voice was very soft, but the weight in his words was very heavy:

"Escape is only temporary."

Her words hit the most worrying place in Liu Bingzhou's heart, so he remained silent.

"But..." After a long time, he opened his mouth, and Yao Shouning followed suit at the same time:

"But my sister and the others still have to leave the city."

Liu Bingzhou froze for a moment, then looked at Yao Shouning.

But the girl was also looking at him from the sidelines, the eyelashes were soaked by the wet water in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile:
"It's just me staying."

She was deeply afraid that Liu Bingzhou would not agree, so she hurriedly said without waiting for him to speak:
"I want to stay and protect my grandfather, and I also want to do my part for God like Zhang Zuzu and my grandfather."

Liu Bingzhou's beard trembled, she said again:
"I have studied with the teacher for a long time, and I can help a lot. For example, I foresaw the arrival of the 'River God', which is the best proof."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Liu Bingzhou anxiously, and whispered:
"Grandfather, are you okay?" She seemed to be afraid that he would not agree, and said cautiously:

"Even if you don't agree, I will stay secretly, and maybe bad things will happen..."

Her words almost made Liu Bingzhou, who was immersed in emotion, laugh, his heart was very ironic, but his face was deliberately calm:

"You know that the crisis in the city is coming, and you persuaded your grandfather just now, why are you saying such things now?"

He didn't agree, but judging from his tone and demeanor, he no longer had the intention of rejecting Yao Shouning.

Sensing this, Yao Shouning couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled:

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, I prefer to go to the mountain." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and complained in a low voice:
"I didn't learn it from you."

In the same vein!
From Zhang Raozhi, Liu Bingzhou learned the courage to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and this courage and responsibility was passed on to his granddaughter after a generation of blood.

At this moment, his mood was extremely turbulent, and he had the feeling of someone succeeding, his eyes were sour, and he almost lost his composure.

It wasn't until he forcibly held back the turmoil in his heart, blinked his eyes, and suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, that he smiled and said:
"If you're good, don't learn, just learn these things." With loving eyes, he urged:

"You can stay, but you have to promise your grandfather that if the situation is wrong, you will leave immediately."

"Don't worry." Yao Shouning nodded:

"I will." She is already learning to control time. Not only is Shendu City unable to trap her, but even time is under her control. If she wants to leave, no one will be able to keep her.

Liu Bingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and confessed:

"That's good, but your mother and your sister must go."

"Okay, I'll let them pack up when I turn around, and I'll be able to leave the city tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, Liu Bingzhou nodded and said:
"I also want to do something before this."

He needs to meet Emperor Shenqi in person, and ask him to stop killing, stop the city's resentment from rising, and attract the 'River God'.

At the same time, he also had to assume the original duties of Zhu Hengrui, Gu Huanzhi and others, persuading Emperor Shenqi to order the people to leave the city.

Even if, as Yao Shouning said, these are just temporary escapes, as long as few people die, the natural disasters brought by the 'River God' may not be so tyrannical.

There are still Yao Shouning, Lu Zhi, Wen Jingsui, and many young people growing up in this world. As long as the seeds are kept, one day, maybe there will be young people like Taizu and others growing up 700 years ago Get up, turn out to be born, save the world, and kill the evil spirits!
"it is good."

Yao Shouning nodded. While speaking, a scene quickly flashed in her mind: the mourning sound of suona playing, a room full of white sails, decorated as a mourning hall, and a coffin parked there.

Liu Bingzhou wanted to enter the palace to persuade the emperor, but he would not be successful, and the people from Zhenmasi will come to Yao's family soon to punish Yao's family!
There was a haze in her heart, and when she looked at her grandfather again, he was frowning, obviously not having much hope for the trip to the palace.

Perhaps he had already foreseen the consequences, but as he said, there are some things, even if they know there is a danger, but someone has to do it.

It's just that the eldest princess used to do such things, but now the eldest princess is far away in Jindi, in the city of God, the only one who doesn't fall for Emperor Shenqi, but also sincerely wants to do things for the world, and has the ability to do such things, except Liu Bingzhou. Outside, there is no one else.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Seeing Liu Bingzhou lost in thought, Yao Shouning didn't bother him anymore, but quietly walked into the house with his skirt up.

She was going to take a look at the Liu family, so she went to prepare to send her sister and others out of the city.

Before entering the inner room, she turned her head and glanced at her grandfather. He was facing out the window, looking at the rising grievances, his figure seemed to be a little heavy.
