The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 76: The Uncrowned King [Extra 2]

Inside the palace, the flames of the burning soul gradually extinguished. The people rolling on the ground gradually recovered from the unbearable pain, but the indescribable fatigue was surging from the depths of their souls.

They sat there powerlessly, not wanting to move at all, but just raised their eyelids with difficulty, and cast complicated glances at Xu Mingjue who was still standing there with a melancholy expression.

Perhaps he noticed the gazes of the crowd, so he retracted his slightly reluctant eyes, turned around and looked back with a puzzled look.

——The same skin, but with a different soul inside, but exuding a very different temperament from the inside out.

When Su Ying was in charge of this body, he always looked lively and free, especially a kind of casualness without any constraints. But the owner of this body, the real Xu Mingjue, gave people a completely different feeling. He had both the gentle temperament cultivated by reading in the space for many years and the frankness of a young man.

Even if it was the same puzzled look, when Su Ying did it, it would always be a bit innocent and undisguised. And Xu Mingjue's face was full of real puzzlement.

——He really didn't know why these people were looking at him like this. To be honest, he was about to return to his body, and he didn't know what had happened, and he didn't know the people in front of him.

Seeing Xu Mingjue's expression, everyone was suddenly enlightened.

It seems that what they saw and heard when they were burned just now was not an illusion of drowsiness, nor was it a trick played by the prince of the Duke of Wei, but the real truth.

The prince of the Duke of Wei in front of him was really different from the previous one. No matter how you look at it, they are two completely different people.

So, what is going on?

Is there really a saying of ghosts and gods and immortals in this world? Otherwise, how to explain everything that happened to the prince of the Duke of Wei, how to explain everything they just encountered, and how to explain the strange black flames still burning on the emperor?

The only person who could solve their doubts might be the prince of the Duke of Wei, but Xu Mingjue seemed to know nothing about the situation in front of him, and his eyes were very confused.

Both sides looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qian, the Duke of Wei, and tried to signal with their eyes: This is your son, should you say something?

Xu Qian, who received the signal, probably also understood that he was the most suitable person to come forward now. He slowly stood up and looked at his unfamiliar son in front of him: "Sanlang, I am your father."

Xu Mingjue really focused his attention on him.

"... Dad?" He murmured and repeated, gradually matching the person in front of him with the vague figure he saw in his dream. In the dream, he had seen the appearance of his biological parents.

"Yes, we are father and son, sixteen years ago..." Successfully attracting Xu Mingjue's attention with a self-introduction, Xu Qian carefully recounted what happened that year.

The father and son talked about the past, and they were filled with emotion. Xu Qian's love for his biological son was not fake, and Xu Mingjue's admiration for his parents gradually emerged. Hearing his father's regret and guilt for losing his son, he did not forget to comfort him and talked about his life in the countryside in these years.

For a while, the scene seemed to have become a family recognition meeting.

Others rarely disturbed them, but pricked up their ears to listen carefully, especially when Xu Mingjue talked about his experiences in these years, they wanted to take out paper and pen to write it down.

Oh, the historian who carried a pen with him was really writing.

This made the ministers nearby look at him in a wrong way.

Xu Qian was still struggling whether he should ask about the "immortal". He did not want his son's adventure to be publicized to avoid unexpected events, but this matter had been publicized in front of everyone. Even if he did not ask and tried to hide his son's secret, I am afraid these people would not let it go.

In this case, it would be better to ask openly.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingjue didn't think so much, but said it openly: "I met the immortal in the temple on the back mountain. It rained heavily that evening..."

The people who listened attentively did not dare to miss a word, and remembered the time and place clearly.

Then they were stunned to hear the prince of the Duke of Wei telling a magical adventure.

-The immortal came into the dream, deduced the fate of life in the dream, borrowed the body to enter the world, and got the immortal's promise. How outrageous!

The most outrageous thing is that the immortal asked about his wishes. Not to mention immortality, it is also reasonable to ask for wealth in the next life. After all, he contributed his body to the immortal and gave up this life. If he can climb the immortal fate, there is no need to stay in the world.

Such an adventure fell from the sky, and this silly boy just asked the immortal to protect his parents? Can his biological parents who have not been seen for more than ten years be worth this overwhelming immortal fate?

Even Xu Qian couldn't help but slap his thigh heavily when he heard his son's wish. He was touched and annoyed at the same time.

"Ah! You! Why are you so stupid!"

Although he was annoyed, he thought of the scene he had just seen. The immortal returned the body before leaving and did not take Xu Mingjue's life. Maybe it was because of this.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

"Well, if you are too scheming, how can the immortal not see it? You are so stupid, maybe you will be in his eyes."

Xu Qian could let it go, but others couldn't. When they thought that someone actually let go of the immortal opportunity in vain, even if it had nothing to do with them, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Think about the immortal who came to the mortal world for several months in the shell of Xu Mingjue. Not only did they not get a chance to be immortal, but they were also angry because their actions were exposed by the immortal. They once verbally attacked and slandered the immortal... Suddenly, in addition to the regret of missing the opportunity, there was also a deep fear that made people shudder.

The terrifying black fire was probably the punishment of the immortal.

"No, the immortal is magnanimous. How could he punish you in this way?" Hearing someone speculate like this, the number one believer Xu Mingjue immediately clarified the image of the immortal.

Others immediately showed an expression that was hard to describe.

Magnanimous? Even if it is an immortal, even if you are the immortal's patron, you can't talk nonsense like this. Do you want to read "Secrets of Shangjing" and talk about tolerance and magnanimity?

Fortunately, Xu Mingjin continued to explain: "That was the resentment of the world that gathered - the target was originally supposed to be only the emperor, but because it was the first operation, the momentum was too strong, so it affected everyone."

"...This resentment of the world is closely related to the people of the world. And the lives of the people of the world are closely related to the people in the court. Therefore, although this spiritual flame was accidentally affected, it was also implicated by cause and effect."

"...The longer the burning time and the more fierce the fire, the greater the cause and effect on the person, but it does not harm the innocent."

When he spoke, his eyes did not look at the crowd, but fell in the air in front of him. There was a long interval between each sentence, more like listening and repeating.

-This is the "little surprise" that Su Ying gave him before leaving. Teach him the trick of seeing ghosts and communicating with ghosts.

Xu Mingjue, who has been studying in the space, certainly knows nothing about the so-called resentment of the world, but the ghosts following Su Ying are different. They were originally Su Ying's experimental materials. All of Su Ying's research on ghosts was seen by them. Su Ying never concealed from them the various ideas after the formation of the world's resentment.

Xu Mingjue only had to repeat what the ghost said. And as he spoke, he understood it himself-

In short, what happened before his eyes was probably "the people who governed the world failed to do their job well, so the immortals gathered the spirit flames born from the world's resentment, and burned them all according to the strength of the cause and effect they carried."

Even though his own father, Duke Wei, was among them, Xu Mingjue had to admit that the burning was good.

Especially the emperor who was still being burned and the flames on his body had not been extinguished for a long time-since he enjoyed the offerings of the world and took on the heavy responsibility of the world, he naturally had to bear the resentment of the people of the world.

After listening to Xu Mingjue's retelling, everyone took a breath and subconsciously moved away from the emperor.

Looking at the emperor's miserable appearance, the two princes looked even more pale.

The eldest prince was fine, since his rebellion had failed anyway, and he was destined to be a prisoner or even a ghost under the knife. At this time, he was relaxed and could laugh at the emperor being burned to death.

The third prince was not in a good mood.

—— If Su Ying had not intervened, he would have been the final winner of this palace coup. Even now, with the guards in his hands, he could force the emperor to abdicate and ascend the throne himself.

However, did he really want to do this?

Looking at Emperor Huiming in the flames, the third prince hesitated.

The prince of Wei Guogong had made it clear that the emperor was resented by the world. What if he ascended the throne and followed the footsteps of Emperor Huiming? What was the point of fighting for the throne? Could it be to suffer for Emperor Huiming?

But he had come to this point, and he was unwilling to retreat. The most important thing was, would he still have a chance to retreat? If he didn't give it a try now and gave up the throne for the possible risks, the day of those rebel kings would be his day.

If you don't make a decisive decision today, you will be a prisoner tomorrow!

What's more, the resentment of the world comes from the people of the world. As long as you govern the world well, don't you have to worry?

The third prince's eyes flashed with determination.

——At worst, there is Emperor Huiming in front.

.

On this day, the situation changed. The eldest prince plotted a rebellion and was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life. The emperor was too frightened and fell ill in bed. He made the third prince who turned the tide as the crown prince, passed the throne to the crown prince, and retired to Jingren Palace as the emperor.

Everything seemed to pass smoothly.

What happened in the palace on the night of the winter solstice was not kept secret after all. As the new issue of "Secrets of Shangjing" spread throughout the world, even the new emperor who was exposed to black material did not do anything in anger in the face of the immortal's legacy.

Chu Jizhou and others had already reached a consensus with him after meeting the real Xu Mingjue. Under the supervision of the ghosts, they made a vow that "Secrets of Shangjing" would never pursue personal gain, but only for the public good. Everything published on it would be explored by the ghosts. Once violated, they would die of fear in the nightmare woven by the ghosts.

The prince of Duke Wei stood up in the palace and accepted the reward from the new emperor, but he refused to accept it. Duke Wei firmly resigned from the position of Minister of War and no longer asked about political affairs. The new emperor tried to dissuade him but failed.

——Xu Mingjue has become a messenger of God in the hearts of many people. If the Xu family wants to be safe and long-lasting, they should know how to advance and retreat. The Xu family, who had already learned about their original fate from Xu Mingjin, although a little regretful, hoped that the family would be safe.

Not long after, Shanglin Village welcomed the court angel, and the once dilapidated mountain temple was demolished and rebuilt to enshrine the new god "Qiyunjun".

The villagers of Shanglin Village were surprised to find that Li Sanlang, who was said to have been found by a powerful family, had actually returned. He not only participated in the construction of the temple, but also opened a school in the local area, becoming a temple priest and a teacher at the school.

The story of "Sanlang meeting the immortal" has since spread.

——It has been sung for thousands of years and has been passed down from generation to generation.
