Flower Moon

Chapter 197 Jingguo Chaos
Tao Yue'er couldn't refute, but she also had no appetite and couldn't eat, so she accompanied Hua Ling to finish dinner before going back.

This bloody massacre lasted for half a month.Tao Yue'er rushed there in a hurry, but then she just opened the window every morning and glanced at the sky. She found that the ladder was still there and no one was going up, so she turned back and continued to deal with her own affairs.

Tao Yue'er didn't know whether this ladder was real or fake. She just felt that the massacre was far from over, and now was not the time to enter.

But Hua Ling seemed to have made up her mind and insisted: "This ladder must be fake."

"why?"

"The reason is very simple." Hua Ling said calmly: "When Penglai Immortal Master chooses a boy to serve as a spirit servant, he must choose someone with a kind heart. If he climbs the ladder in such a bloody way, he will choose nothing more than the five most powerful people in the world. I think this may not be what he wants."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er remembered.In the murals of Cang Kingdom, we did see five spirit-serving boys beside Immortal Lord Penglai.It's just that those five people all lost their spiritual positions for various reasons.In the end, a boy took over the position of Immortal Lord.

Thinking of this, Tao Yue'er became a little worried again...

"We know the secret of the Immortal Lord, will he let us go?" Tao Yuer asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid this is not a secret in the upper world. After all, it was obvious to everyone back then that he was not a spiritual boy. He would be criticized for his dishonest reputation and his words. But so what? It can't change his current situation. status. He is still the only one in these three realms."

"What you said makes sense." Tao Yue'er was comforted by Hua Ling and gradually felt relieved.

Tao Yue'er thought that the day set by the Immortal Master was March [-]rd.It is also the day when willow branches are given to each other every year by the Luoshui River in Jingcheng.Now that March [-]rd is still less than half a month away, I no longer pay attention to the huge ladder falling from the sky.Later, I didn’t even feel like going out anymore.After all, as soon as they open the window, what they see is corpses one after another being carried out of the city gate, thrown into the nearby woods along the provincial road, and buried on the spot.

A huge pit buried many people. They may not have known each other before they were alive, but because of the common vision of climbing the ladder, they died tragically on the street and were eventually buried in a pit.

Soon, everyone realized something was wrong.No one dared to climb up the ladder rashly, so several Xuan cultivators simply set up tents beside the ladder.They don't take the lead in climbing the ladder, but when they see someone going up, they will attack them and drag them down.As a result, although large-scale bloodshed incidents decreased, it did not change the tense atmosphere in the royal city.In fact, the royal family of King Jing no longer exists, and was replaced by the honor guard of Prince Bai Xiangjing of Liu Kingdom, who relied on a large number of Xuan cultivators.

He carelessly moved into the main hall where Emperor Jingguo lived. Outside the house, there were layers of mysterious cultivators stationed there.No one can get close.No one dares to provoke him.

So when Tao Yue'er saw a downcast old man with golden light all over his body in the suburbs of the city, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"That man, why is he glowing?" Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling, pointing to an old man in the crowd.

Hua Ling glanced at it and said, "Because he is the emperor."

"Emperor!?" Tao Yuer'er exclaimed: "Why is the emperor here? He... seems to be injured."

"In troubled times, can An's eggs be completed?" Hua Ling seemed to have anticipated today's disaster, and said calmly: "The Immortal Master gave the Jingguo royal family three years to prepare for possible disasters, but they still did a good job The group suffered. Today's disaster is the fault of the Jingguo royal family." Hua Ling pointed out the country, looking more like an emperor than the old man.Although the old man looked very old, he was probably old enough to be Tao Yue'er's father.But he was not deaf.The people around him are still considered loyal.

"How do you speak?" Hua Ling's words reached their ears.Although they didn't hear the whole first half, the second half of the words scolding the royal family got into their ears without missing a word.

Moreover, even if what Hua Ling said was true, and their palaces were indeed occupied by mystical cultivators from other countries, they still could not accept criticism from a young man in the market.Even if this young man looks graceful and doesn't look like an ordinary person, that's not okay.

"You put it lightly. In the current situation, even the emperor of any country cannot stop the chaos. Why do you stand here and give advice?" The old man who spoke was the emperor.It's just that now he is not wearing the emperor's dragon robe, hiding his identity and mixing among the common people.

Hua Ling could tell his identity at a glance, but it was because his temperament was different from others.Anyone who can ascend to the throne must be rich and powerful.Either it was influenced by ancestors, or it came from self-cultivation.Although the emperor was in despair, his ancestors' Yin De still protected him.

"Although the situation is chaotic at the moment, it is not irreversible to return to chaos." Hua Ling glanced at him lightly, her domineering posture was no less impressive in front of the formidable emperor.

The emperor, who was used to seeing all kinds of monsters and monsters, naturally noticed that the young boy in front of him was no ordinary person. He frowned and asked him hurriedly: "How to save him?"

"The Immortal Master of Penglai and the Emperor of the Nine Kingdoms are united for the sake of clearing the sea, rivers and peace in the world. Will he be in trouble with you and put the ladder above your head in the palace?" Hua Ling asked him in return.

This sentence almost broke through the fog and melancholy in everyone's hearts.

"You mean, this ladder to heaven was not lowered by Immortal Lord Penglai?" Emperor Jingguo asked Hua Ling.

"I didn't say that." Hua Ling denied, and then added: "I am just a bystander who can see more clearly. I feel that this matter is not that simple."

After Hua Ling said this, everyone fell into thinking.

Indeed, the Penglai Immortal Lord was stationed in Penglai to suppress the prehistoric times.Under the rule of Penglai, the people of the Nine Kingdoms live and work in peace and contentment. This time, the public selection of Tongtian as a spiritual boy is also for the sake of the peace of the Nine Kingdoms.There is no reason to have trouble with the royal family of Jingguo, causing them to almost fall apart under the impact of the Xuan cultivators.

This is not a selection at all, this is a disaster for the country!It's a conspiracy!
"But it's chaos now, what should we do?" the emperor asked again.

Hua Ling smiled and said in an incomprehensible way: "Treat others in their own way."

The people present were all the emperor's confidants, and naturally they were also people who had been working hard in the officialdom for many years.There are also old national teachers and guards with special skills to protect the emperor's safety.

Hua Ling mentioned this, and everyone immediately knew what to do.

If the forces in the darkness can build a ladder to heaven, then naturally they can too!
