Romance of Gods

Chapter 218 Rusty ()

The previous person walked forward, stroking his beard and smiling: "Literally speaking, Your Majesty is a smart man, how can you not understand?"

Ao Sanye frowned and was silent. The emperor turned into a tree, fed on living people, and then obtained the art of immortality.

"Everyone's lifespan is determined. The third master is seventy-two this year. I guess you will die in less than a year."

Hearing this, Mr. Ao Sanye burst out laughing, "Then I would like to thank the Immortal for his good advice. People live seventy years rarely. At my age, if you can still live for one year, it can be regarded as the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves." "

The person above could see that Mr. Ao San was full of fear, and waved his hand and said: "Third Master, why do you say these things against your will? You have just proclaimed yourself emperor. If you say anything disrespectful, you will be no different from other rebels in the eyes of the world." .Don’t talk about unifying the world, just talking about rectifying the devastated Ming Dynasty, is it more than an overnight achievement?

Your ambition is definitely more than just being an emperor in name only. A hero like you wants the whole world! The reason why Pindao took the risk to meet His Majesty is to deliver the law of immortality to Your Majesty. "

Mr. Ao Sanye sneered and said: "What you call the method of immortality is to treat me like a tree and plant it in that well. In the end, I will be eaten by everyone like the previous emperor. Although I am not talented, I am not stupid yet." This is the point.”

"No." The person above said with a smile: "The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. People's years are limited, but if you gather the years of many people, you can get the good fruit of immortality. The well in Xiyuan is the main well of immortality. As long as someone goes to the world When strangers are thrown into wells in various places, one ten thousandth of their unfinished age will gather into the main well.

As long as you keep fishing in the lake, in fact, you throw more than ten thousand people into the well every year, your Majesty can live forever. However, the late emperor was eager for success and imposed heavy taxes every year, making it difficult for the people to make a living. Because too many lifespans were added at the same time, he suffered backlash and finally turned into a piece of rotten wood. "

When Ao Sanye heard this, he thought to himself, and suddenly sneered, "It is useless for people to get up early. If the immortal comes to offer advice to me, he must have something in mind."

The previous person nodded, "I am not a person who confuses people with lies. The reason why I want your majesty to live forever is to use your majesty's power to fulfill my great wish to preach and teach."

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

"Although Pindao comes from a Taoist sect, his practice is contrary to the orthodox Taoist sect."

"I see it."

"Pindao once made a great wish to spread his disciples all over the world and live forever. But this career can never be completed by one person, so Pindao needs a partner, someone with absolute power who can help me remove all obstacles. partner.

Therefore, I chose Emperor Jiajing before. I provided him with the method of immortality, and he helped me open the mountain gate and preach and teach. However, the world was in chaos and the court had no time to take care of itself. Jiajing was greedy and did not think about rectifying the country. He only cared about his own immortality. In the end, he ended up dead without a whole body. "

After hearing this, Master Ao San said calmly: "So now you still want to use this so-called method of immortality to do business with me."

The previous man nodded and said: "Yes, I will help His Majesty live forever. After you conquer the world, come and help me preach."

Ao San turned his back and chuckled a few times, "Do you really think I'm a fool? The reason why Jiajing died was because of his crazy poll tax. If I continue to follow the same pattern now, wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire? , become the public enemy of the world!"

The person in front of me flicked the fly whisk and said quietly: "It turns out that Your Majesty doesn't want immortality, but is afraid of its consequences."

"you!"

As if someone had seen through what he was thinking, Ao Sanye turned back sharply and glared at the Taoist fiercely.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. How can a poor Taoist do something unjust to Your Majesty? What good will this do to a poor Taoist?" The person on the road said solemnly: "I have offered the late emperor a plan to get the best of both worlds, but it's a pity that it's not good enough. One step, but it was destroyed in His Majesty's hands."

Mr. Ao Sanye rolled his eyes and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Pindao once speculated that a group of strange people will come to this world. These people are born with a lifespan that is difficult for ordinary people to look at. If these people can be thrown into a well, only one of them can live for three hundred years. Previously in Chongqing The state has arrested many, but His Majesty has released them all."

So this is the truth behind the imperial court’s pursuit of those god actors?

Compared to ordinary people, these god actors are a great tonic to the emperor.

If they can be filled into the well, it will be enough to pay taxes for several years, which will indeed solve the urgent need.

The previous person saw Mr. Ao San was silent and was about to step forward to persuade him, when suddenly several gusts of palm wind struck him quickly.

The last one quickly dodged sideways, and the swaying corners of his clothes were shattered into rags.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Ao Sanye didn't answer, but he struck out with dozens of palms while breathing.

The last one couldn't avoid the attack, but soon, the palm force that was coming quickly gathered together and formed a giant ball around its body.

"You are deceiving the public with your evil words, and you want to use these tricks to trick me into killing each other? You really treat me like a three-year-old baby! Die!"

Ao Sanye shouted loudly, and smashed thousands of handprints together on Shang Yi's body.

The previous one waved the whisk into a white dragon, and the palm force was everywhere. The white beard of the whisk immediately collapsed into a straight line, and it kept trembling.

boom!

He smashed the whisk on the ground and heard a loud noise, and the ground immediately opened several deep ravines.

Ao Sanye was about to attack again, but the previous one had wandered out of the palace, "Ao Sanye, if you don't listen to the poor words, I'm afraid you will regret it too late in the future."

Mr. Ao Sanye stopped and did not pursue him. He looked back at the ancient well which exuded a strange luster. His expression was uncertain and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Time passed very quickly. After a day that changed everything, by the time the sun set in the evening, the chaos in Jinling City gradually subsided, and everything seemed to be on track.

In a remote house, a dozen people were discussing something in whispers.

"We don't have much time left. I didn't expect that after hiding in the east of the capital for so long, all the benefits will fall into the hands of others."

"I think we should sneak into the palace now to see if we can make a fortune. If we wait until the situation is completely stabilized, we will have no chance."

"I agree."

"I agree too!"

While they were chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from outside. The leader made a silence gesture to signal them to quiet down.

Looking out through a paper window, I saw a dozen people's shadows printed on it. After a while of panic, they dispersed like birds and beasts.

The leader said solemnly: "Go and see what happened."

Hearing this, someone opened the door, and the thick smell of blood rushed in instantly.

In the yard, there were suddenly seven or eight fresh corpses with severe damage, including men, women, old and young, all ordinary people.

He closed the door and turned around and said, "It's nothing. It was probably a robbery by rioters and a few people were killed."

The leader nodded, then stood up and said decisively: "Tonight, go to the palace!"

As soon as the sky darkened, the palace was shrouded in night, like a skinned beast licking its wounds, looking extremely eerie.

The two robe brothers quickly came to Xiyuan, stood in front of the palace door and bowed: "Your Majesty, the matter you told me has been completed."

A fluttering voice came from inside, "Oh? What did I tell you to do?"

"According to His Majesty's instructions, we secretly slaughtered a group of rebels and threw them into the ancient well of Zhenfusi."

"Is that what I told you?"

One person was frightened and hurriedly said: "We are acting in full accordance with His Majesty's will..."

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by his companion: "Your Majesty, you haven't told us anything. We don't know anything."

"Okay, please step back."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, turned around and were about to leave, only to hear a puff.

They looked down in pain and saw an arm as hard as iron stabbed from behind and penetrated their bodies. Immediately afterwards, the two arms retracted and pulled their bodies into the palace.

In the dark palace, Ao Sanye sat cross-legged on the well, and streaks of faint blood flowed out from the well and poured into his body.

Mr. Ao Sanye stared at his hands and saw that the rough skin like elm bark was now visibly turning white again, and the dead wood was turning into spring.

"Interesting, this method is really interesting."

Mr. Ao San's face was twisted, and bursts of horrifying laughter came from his throat. He clearly felt that in an instant, his body became more than ten years younger.

This still only used a few hundred people to fill the wells. What if 100,000 people or a million people were used?

Mr. Ao Sanye was exuding his ambition when he suddenly straightened his body and looked out the door with some trembling. At some point, a figure stood upright outside like a ghost.

He wasn't afraid, he just felt an indescribable guilt.

"Ao San, if you occupy my throne and seize my country, today is the day you die!"

"Damn it, you're just pretending to be a god, and you're going to die for me!"

boom!

Mr. Ao Sanye swung his body and stabbed towards the figure quickly like an arrow off the string.

There was a click, sawdust flew into the air, and the window lattice was pierced. The moment he left the palace, the sneaky figure quickly climbed up the wall and turned around to send out three hidden signs.

Mr. Ao Sanye waved his hand and knocked away the hidden mark. He was filled with doubts. Who is this person? Is he really the soul of Jiajing? Or is that old man causing trouble?

He was restless and chased after the figure.

At the same time, in the cold palace.

Song Tian, ​​who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and said with some excitement: "Come on, I've led Ao San out of Xiyuan."

Everyone stood up immediately, and Chen Yan took out the picture of the tiger's belly. In order not to attract attention, he let them temporarily hide in the picture.

Then, he said to Song Tian: "Stay here by yourself and be careful about everything."

Song Tian smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, as soon as there is an emergency, I will send a signal to notify you immediately."

After hearing this, Chen Yan left quickly without further delay, heading towards Xiyuan.

Avoiding the guards' eyes all the way, when they arrived at Xiyuan, Ao Sanye had not returned yet.

Chen Yan was slightly relieved, but the fresh blood stains on the ground attracted his attention.

He followed the blood trail to the well and looked down.

Two dead brothers were lying at the bottom of the well, and the roots were like parasites, greedily eating away at their corpses.

There is a corpse here. Needless to say, the murderer must be Ao San, but why would he kill his disciple?

Just as Chen Yan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard urgent footsteps outside the hall, and he hurriedly hid in a corner.

"Report! Report! Your Majesty, the eight-hundred-mile flying letter is urgent!"

Hearing the panic in someone's voice, Chen Yan had a thought in his mind, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Say."

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yuzhou City. In the early morning, the rebels outside the pass suddenly attacked the city. They are coming fiercely. I am afraid that Yuzhou City cannot be defended for long! According to the time, I am afraid that the city has been breached by now!"

Chen Yan nodded when he heard this. It must have been Pei Xianyu and his group who started to exert their strength, "That's unreasonable! What do Boss Zhao and the others do for food! Immediately send an order to Lao Wu and ask him to order 5,000 elite soldiers to go to the west for support. Hurry!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

After the visitor left, Chen Yan thought to himself that taking this opportunity to let Ao Sanye's subordinates get into chaos would also add some help to tonight's assassination.

Suddenly, he looked at the ancient well again, and a thought popped out to him. Could it be that Ao San also had the idea of ​​immortality?

"die!"

boom!

Mr. Ao Sanye jumped off the towering palace wall, and after a chase, he finally killed the mysterious man in his hands.

The man fell to the ground and immediately fell into pieces, turning into a pile of tiny precision parts.

"Oh? Not a human?"

Mr. Ao Sanye looked at the wreckage at his feet thoughtfully, when several guards ran over.

"Three...Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Secure the palace tightly, and I won't let a fly out!"

"As ordered!"

After waiting in Xiyuan for about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Ao still hadn't returned.

Chen Yan took out the painting, released Cao Chunhua and others, and said, "It seems that this plan will not work. Ao San should have noticed something and think of another way."

Everyone had different expressions. Although they felt it was a pity, that was all they could do.

Just as they were about to turn back, they heard a piercing scream, followed by a banging explosion.

Then fireworks exploded, and colorful lights reflected on the paper windows.

This was the warning signal they had agreed with Song Tian. Once they encountered danger, they would send it out immediately.

"Something happened, let's go!"

The palace was in chaos. When Chen Yan led everyone away from Xiyuan, they saw bright lights and guards running quickly with torches in hand, as if they were searching for something.

Chen Yan stopped a guard and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lord Chen!" The guard cupped his hands and said, "There was an assassin who injured someone in front of the palace gate just now, and now he has broken into the palace. If Lord Chen finds anyone acting suspiciously, please help and kill him immediately!"

assassin?

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Master Chen, please be careful too."

Chen Yan watched everyone go away, secretly thinking that one wave of unrest had arisen after another. It had been peaceful for less than a day, but things were not peaceful again tonight.

He quickly returned to the cold palace, released everyone from the painting again, let them disperse, and separately investigated the abnormalities in the palace, while he quietly approached the palace.

"Song Tian?"

Chen Yan held the spear in front of him. As soon as he crossed the threshold, dozens of eyes lit up in all directions.

"kill."

The figures couldn't help but rush towards Chen Yan quickly, filled with murderous intent.

Chen Yan's eyes were stern. Even though he dodged, several attacks still hit him.

The endurance of Zhu Rong's heavy armor instantly reached the threshold, and the sea of ​​fire swept out, illuminating the palace brightly.

Chen Yan took the opportunity to quickly dodge outside the palace, and others quickly rushed over when they heard the noise.

　Sixteen, not eighteen, it was written wrong
