Chapter Six: Bloodthirsty in the Temple of the Tyrant
So, soon an official in red official robes came in holding a small box, shouted long live to the emperor and then carefully entered the small box as if he was offering a treasure.
"What is this?" The emperor took the box that the eunuch held up, opened it and saw that there was only a green bead the size of a grape. He asked unhappily: "Isn't it just a jade-carved bead? What a joke.
What's so special about art? I can give you a house!"
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look. This is no ordinary jade bead." Zuo Qing explained with a flattering smile, "A few days ago, a meteor fell outside the Imperial City. Its color was green and its stars
It was as big as a bucket, and the outside of the city was as bright as daylight. Someone outside the city looked for the light, and found this jade bead. At that time, it was still shining with brilliance, and it took half an hour to dissipate, and it became what it is now."
"Oh?" The emperor seemed to be interested. He picked up the bead and looked at it carefully: he saw that the bead was round and smooth, and it did have a faint halo in the dark. It was also very comfortable to hold in his hand.
"Qin Zheng, have you seen this kind of thing falling from the sky?" the emperor suddenly asked Qin Zhengdao who was standing aside.
"Your Majesty, I am ignorant and ignorant. This is the first time I have heard of it."
"Zuo Aiqing, tell me, besides the fact that this bead fell from the sky, what's so special about it?" After hearing this, the emperor turned to Zuo Qing and asked.
"Returning to your majesty, the person who picked it up told me that this bead can revive dead vegetation and make fallen leaves take root. It must be because your majesty's grace and good governance moved heaven that such a magical thing was sent down from heaven. That's why it was sent down like this.
Treasure." Zuo Qing said flatteringly.
"Hahahaha!" The emperor burst into exaggerated laughter after hearing this, and Zuo Qing also laughed proudly along with him. Only Qin Zheng watched them calmly and silently, with no expression on his face.
"Why are you laughing!" Unexpectedly, the emperor also laughed when he saw Zuo Qing, but suddenly stopped laughing and asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, put down your anger!" Zuo Qing was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said, "When I saw that Your Majesty was happy, I felt that I was also very happy, so I couldn't help but smile. Your Majesty, please forgive me for any disrespect!"
"You said I am happy?" The emperor sneered, "Do you think you can coax me to be happy with a few words of flattery?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Everything I said is true and not false!" Zuo Qing was shocked when he heard this. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic. The blood that flowed out stained the bluestones on the ground.
"True?" the emperor sneered. He couldn't see the outline of his face, which looked gloomy and depressing. "Do you think I'm a fool? Who in the world doesn't know that I like killing. Folks say I killed my ancestors and my father, and killed innocent people indiscriminately; in order to get the throne.
No matter what the means, how can there be such a thing as good governance? If there really is a God, then do you think I, the emperor, can still do my job safely?"
"Your Majesty! I am guilty of death! I hope your Majesty will spare my life!" Zuo Qing was suddenly shocked and begged for mercy.
But the emperor waved his hand impatiently and said: "Here comes the person! Drag him out and behead him!"
Then some royal guards came into the palace and took him out.
After dealing with Zuo Qing, the emperor held the green jade bead and looked at it carefully: he saw that the jade bead was emitting a faint green light in the shadow blocked by the curtain, and the water filled it looked beautiful.
"Qin Zheng! Tell me, if this bead is really so effective and can bring plants and trees back to life, can it also bring people back to life?"
"Your Majesty, my brother is stupid and really doesn't know." Qin Zheng replied calmly.
"Come here! Bring me the people who offered the pearls!" After hearing this, the emperor suddenly shouted loudly. Then he said to Qin Zheng in a strange tone: "Isn't that right? Let me give him a try."
So, soon a young eunuch led a man in gray clothes in.
The man trembled and knelt on the ground and saluted: "The common people bow to your majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Get back on your feet." The emperor took the jade bead and asked the man, "Did you discover this bead?"
"Your Majesty, it's Xiaomin!" The man replied smugly, "Xiaomin is a doctor. He saw this orb falling from the sky when he went up the mountain to collect medicine. It was also Xiaomin who discovered that it can bring the surrounding vegetation back to life. Therefore,
The common people thought that this must be the auspicious blessing sent down by God to His Majesty..."
"Auspicious?" The emperor interrupted him impatiently, "Stop talking about these hypocritical things. Which of you is not flattering me in front of others and scolding me behind my back? Well, you have good intentions, so I should also reward you... Well,
I’ll reward you with a car pound!”
Qin Zheng on the side suddenly enlarged his eyes after hearing this, glanced at the emperor, and then quickly regained his composure.
"A cart full of gold?" The man didn't hear anything was wrong, and he kowtowed in gratitude and said, "The common people thank your Majesty for the reward! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Okay." The emperor held the orb in one hand, stepped out of the shadow cast by the curtains hanging on the pillars in the palace, walked down the high dragon chair platform, and came to the man. The bright light outside the palace shone on his face,
It shone clearly on his face; the image of a one-eyed dragon with a black eyepatch was immediately exposed to everyone's gaze.
"Ah?" The person offering the treasure looked at his almost twisted smile, and seemed to feel that something was wrong. But before he could react, the one-eyed emperor had already pulled out the sword from his waist and cut off his head with one sword.
The blood spurted out from his head and around the man's neck like a fountain, splashing red on his black dragon robe. The smell of blood filled the air so thickly that it was nauseating.
"Hahaha!" The emperor seemed particularly excited when he saw the blood. He kicked away the dead head, "Who in the world doesn't know, I was born blind with one eye, how dare you, a slave, give me only one
Baozhu, are you saying that God is also laughing at me for having only one eye?"
After saying that, he looked at Qin Zheng, who was expressionless on the side, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin Zheng, it's a divine thing sent from heaven. Now I want to give it a try. It's a rare opportunity. You should also take a look."
After saying this, he bent down and placed the jade beads on the dead man's neck.
It's strange to say that when the jade bead touched the blood, it suddenly emitted a dazzling green light, and then turned red. The broken neck of the corpse made a beeping sound, and sarcoma quickly grew and covered it.
He picked up the jade bead, and under the pull of its light, it grew bigger and bigger, and finally grew into a new human head, with eyes, nose, mouth and ears, but no hair.
"What?" The emperor and everyone in the palace were shocked, looking at the incredible scene in front of them in astonishment.
I saw the dead man with a new head getting up again, moving his limbs and shaking his flesh-red head.
"Monster!" The emperor felt disgusted and horrified when he saw it. He quickly drew out his sword and slashed wildly. Then the newly resurrected dead man was chopped to death again and turned into a pile of rotten flesh lying on the ground with blood. The bright jade beads were once again in the flesh and blood.
A strong light emitted from the orb, and the emperor hurriedly bent down to pick it out. As a result, the rotten meat that lost the light of the orb really became rotten meat, paralyzed lifelessly in a pile on the ground, with disgusting internal organs.
Waiting for organs, they look disgusting.
"Hahaha! It seems that this thing is really a treasure! It can really bring the dead back to life!" Emperor Longyan was delighted, holding the jade bead that had turned red tightly, and laughed proudly: "Everyone in the world is happy.
I wish I could die, but God sent me such a pearl! It seems that God doesn’t want me to die either! Hahaha! God has eyes! As long as I carry it with me, I don’t have to worry about anyone.
We are going to be assassinated! Brother Qin Zheng, do you think so?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Qin Zheng knelt on the ground to congratulate him and said: "My emperor is blessed with great blessings, long live, long live, long live!"
"My emperor is blessed with great blessings, long live, long live, long live!" All the attendants in the palace knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Hahaha!"
The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed happily.
