Chapter 22 The most terrifying thing is (twelve)
The time for dawn has come.
When the darkness was finally dispelled by the rising sun, the dawn that emerged from the horizon gave Boshao some courage.
Liuli, who was nestled in his arms, was still asleep at this moment.
The seeds planted have shown no signs of growth. However, this is also natural.
Boshao no longer had the Blood Eye Scroll. In other words, he lost his support for survival. When midnight tonight arrives, his death will become an irreversible fixed number.
If...Liuli's plan fails...
He lowered his head and looked at Liuli's peaceful sleeping face.
Why... fate is so cruel?
In his previous life, he admired the witch Lu Xiaoming, and hoped to become an important minister in the future and serve the emperor with the witch. His grandfather was a peasant for the whole generation. In the late Tang Dynasty, he was oppressed by the court and had to participate in the peasant uprising. After several transformations, his father became a trusted subordinate of the late emperor and laid a certain foundation for the establishment of this country in the south.
Now the world is divided and cannot be absolutely stable anywhere. Although the ten southern countries are stable, the separatist regimes in the north are still in a state of melee. Therefore, Shaoqing was very excited when he knew that the emperor was determined to use the power of Lu Xiaoming's witch to unify the world. He hoped that his descendants could also live in a peaceful and peaceful era without war in the future. The root of national chaos lies in division, and only unity can end all wars.
Originally, his intention was to become a soldier and command the three armies. But his father did not allow it because he was the only son of the three generations of the Yi family. No one knew when the war would spread to the south. At that time, if troops were sent to fight, once he died in the battlefield, the Yi family would be cut off.
There was no choice but to prepare for the imperial examination. But at this time, an amazing news came.
Shortly after the prince ascended the throne, the witch Lu Xiaoming proposed to resign from his position as the witch.
This news alarmed the whole country.
The witches have become the highest symbol of this country. In fact, many of the people in the country migrated to the south and exile because they could not withstand the wars in the north. However, refugees could not share the land. In the feudal society, where the land symbolized wealth, their lives were still not improved. In addition, the late emperor raised taxes to support the research of the witches, and the lives of the people were really miserable. They all hoped that one day, the world could be unified again and ended this era of war.
Shaoqing was naturally incredible.
The witch is the future of this country, and if she is gone, then... what will the future of this country?
This country is far from the strongest among the ten southern regimes. Even in later history books, there is no clear record. Over the years, as a large number of people from the Central Plains migrated from the north to the south, all countries have developed well. Among them, Wuyue, which has relatively strong China, has very developed agricultural technology, far above this country. The country has a small territory, extremely limited land, and low production levels, and the national treasury has been deficit for many years. If this continues to develop, the country will decline one day.
However, everyone knows that there is no separatist regime on China at present and has the ability to unify the world. Although the ten countries have developed in agriculture, their development level is not seriously unbalanced. At the same time, the Khitans in the north are gradually rising, forming a force that cannot be ignored.
If we want to unify China, which is currently in a state of great division, unless it has absolutely strong national strength just like the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it would be simply a hit of a stone with an egg.
Just imagine, if the potions made by alien plants were put into the battlefield, take the chameleon liquid as an example, who can fight against soldiers who cannot see it? The battlefield is definitely one-sided and overwhelming victory. The same is true for the sub-space potion. With that potion, there will be no problem with marching or food. Even if the army or city is besieged, it can escape. The healing potion can create brave soldiers who are not afraid of death.
If this research is applied to the military, it will only take a few years for this country to develop into a super power, which will be even more terrifying than the Qin State at the time. It is no dream to end this era of war!
At present, one problem that cannot widely apply potions to military affairs is that there are great technical difficulties in mass production. Although plants can be planted in large quantities, if those plants themselves continue to spread and cannot be controlled, the country will instead be extinct by them. However, if the amount is controlled, the potions cannot be mass-produced. If they can only be used on a few people, it is impossible to build an army with absolute combat power.
The emperor was very angry at the time, but the will of the witch Lu Xiaoming came extremely firmly.
After Shaoqing became the Minister of Justice, he first met Feiyi in Yizhuxuan.
"No matter what... the witch is our hope." Shaoqing said to their mother and daughter very firmly at that time: "Sir, you have to think clearly... If you should know that if you are determined not to continue serving the country, there is only... the path of death. You should understand?"
At that time, Lu Xiaoming smiled faintly and said, "I... have been a dead person. But... I am just a living, walking corpse."
At that time, Feiyi also resolutely dug Shaoqing and said, "Sir Shangshu... no matter what, my mother will no longer accept research on those plants. No matter what..."
Shaoqing had not officially accepted the management of Luoying Pavilion at that time. So he submitted a memorial to the emperor, hoping to talk to Feiyi alone. Perhaps, she could be used as a breakthrough.
He sincerely hopes that the witch can become the hope of this country again.
"Do you remember what happened at that time?" Boshao still hugged Liuli and said to her: "I come to Yi Zhuxuan almost two or three times a week to persuade you to convince your mother to be a witch again. Although you reject me every time, I can't understand. You have always been filled with sad eyes and don't understand your real pain. Therefore, gradually, I become eager to understand you and your true heart..."
"You took over Luoying Pavilion shortly after that, right?"
"Yes... Because there are so many rumors of haunted in the palace, and victims have begun to appear, it will be more convenient for me to participate in this plan as the Minister of Justice. Moreover, my father is a founding hero, so the emperor still trusts me more. But... that subverts my consciousness, I can't imagine..."
He sighed heavily and continued, "Later, I came to find you about a month later. After I... killed the first purple-eyed baby, I began to understand the witch's mood. But I still came. It was just because... I could only find my true self in front of you."
"That's right..." Liuli looked at the soil buried in the fragments of her shadow again and said, "You were in pain at that time, right? On the one hand, she became friends with the prince, but on the other hand, she was massacring his brothers. Every moment, your soul cannot be at peace... But, do you still have expectations for me? You want to end all this."
"I... just want to find the right path, a way to calm the war. But that's just my wishful thinking... I saved the prince at that time, but it was equivalent to killing millions of people. My hands created the situation today. Mingming... I hope that the world can be stable, Mingming... I hope that my belief will be implemented. But, only in front of the prince, I can no longer play an executioner... Similarly, the same is true in front of you..."
But, it's too late.
If he had killed the prince so much, he would have saved the world, but at the same time, he would have been a traitor who betrayed his friends. However, no one would have accused him of this, at least, those who know the inside story would never.
"I... have never killed anyone in front of you. Even in the two years since you became a witch, I have never killed those babies in front of you once. Those two years were the happiest, but also the most painful two years in my life. It's just that I can hold on to you if I'm with you. Because you and I are carrying the same loneliness, the same pain... and the same sin..."
He lowered his head, stared deeply at Liuli's face, and said, "The Prince... He loves you too. He has come to the Shangshu Mansion so many times to see you. I can see this... He seemed very happy that he knew you were with him in that hunt."
Liuli was silent.
In her previous life, she also vaguely noticed this. However, she did not deliberately discover it.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough...but that doesn't matter anymore, right?"
Boshao looked at the already completely bright sky and repeated Feiyi's words: "Yes... it's not important anymore. Whether right or wrong, what's next... is what we must do. Thousands of years ago, we should do."
Speaking of this, Bo Shao saw Liuli turn around and put his face close to Bo Shao.
The two looked at each other deeply.
"It's great to see you again in this life... Shaoqing..." When he said these words, tears were already filled with tears in Liuli's eyes.
"I...same..."
There is no need to say anything about it.
Being tricked by fate and being deeply trapped in such a terrifying situation, but the heart and heart are always firmly tied to each other under the ties of past and present lives.
Time passes slowly...
At about 1:00 pm, the land finally started to move!
A long black stem about the size of a can grew out of the ground.
"It's still growing..." Boshao's face showed a hint of joy.
This plant is their hope for survival!
At the same time, on this island, Sun Zhengyan hid behind a rock in fear, looking back from time to time. He and Li Hongming decided to escape separately in the early morning, so that there would be greater hope of living.
In his mind, he could still see the visual reception of the ghost.
It also searches for its existence everywhere on the island...
Holding the unbearable blood-eyed scroll in his hand, Sun Zhengyan still did not dare to let go. The fragments of the scroll had burned a layer of skin on his palm.
"Don't...don't find me..."
Sun Zhengyan kept praying in his heart, and at this moment, suddenly felt a violent heat in his hand. When he lowered his head, he almost screamed...
The fragments actually started to burn!
Sun Zhengyan hurriedly tried to put out the flames, but the flame tongue licked the entire fragment in an instant, without even a few seconds. After burning, his palms were not even a little ashes left.
Did the curse power of the Blood Eye Scroll finally collapse? So, was Fang Kai's death also because the scroll was burned?
I have to go find Boshao... and go find Boshao!
He recalled the direction of Boshao and Liuli's escape, and walked forward in fear...
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Sun Zhengyan finally found Bo Shao and Liuli, and Li Hongming was there, so he found Bo Shao and the others earlier.
In fact, all four of them began to discover something very incredible.
This island... seems to have become much bigger than before!
Originally, even if you were walking around the island, it would not take an hour. But now, it took more than two hours to reach the edge of the island. However, because the island is full of rocks, there is almost no reference, and I didn't find it for a while.
"But..." Sun Zhengyan asked in confusion: "Why do we need to make this island bigger? Isn't it easier for us to hide?"
"Isn't this simple?" Boshao looked at the growing black stem and said, "You think, Chairman... All seven evil ghosts were found. After several months, the curses on our bodies began to come true one by one, right? Before, we were just constantly seeing illusions, which was torture us mentally. The prince... would not kill us immediately. We deliberately expanded the area of this island so that we would not be found so quickly, slowly breaking our minds, and finally pushing us into the abyss of hell..."
And at this moment, suddenly, a shrill howl came out from the black stem!
A large meat ball wriggled out from the surface of the stem, followed by the second and third... It looked really disgusting. Next, the meat balls began to form ferocious and terrifying human faces.
Chapter completed!
