Chapter 160 Resurrection of Wu Qianning
After receiving the task, Ji Cheng did not think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the Zhou Dynasty was defeated at that time, society was in chaos, and many people fled to other countries.
The only thing that puzzled him was why such a thing was assigned to him, but the purpose of a soldier was to follow orders, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But when he saw that group of people, Ji Cheng panicked.
No! This wasn't a defecting team. The person in question was clearly the eldest prince of Fuhai State. There was also a luxurious sedan chair from the Zhou Dynasty in the team. It was no secret that Concubine Wu was going on a diplomatic mission to Fuhai State. Ji Cheng finally understood that the person His Majesty wanted him to kill was actually Concubine Wu!
"Impossible...absolutely impossible. Why would the emperor want to kill her? She is a saintly doctor!" Ji Cheng murmured in disbelief.
The deputy beside him saw Ji Cheng's panic and quickly grabbed his arm, whispering softly, "General, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. You must kill him. Failure to kill him would be disobeying orders. The entire battalion will not survive, and your family will be implicated as well!"
"But that's the Saint Doctor Wu Qianning! How can he be killed?!" Ji Cheng broke free from his deputy's hand and retorted, "No... No! Absolutely not!"
Seeing this, the deputy's eyes flashed with a ruthless look. He immediately drew the long sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "The general has ordered! Everyone charge! Kill!"
"Asshole! I didn't..." Ji Cheng was about to deny it when he heard his deputy shout, "General, do you want to separate the heads of your sister-in-law and child?!"
Ji Cheng was stunned, and it was during this moment of distraction that hundreds of soldiers behind him rushed forward, their swords in hand wantonly reaping the lives of their troops.
Kill all the famous doctors and forging masters, and the eldest prince of the Fuhai Kingdom? Kill!
However, when some people rushed towards the sedan chair and tried to get in, Ji Cheng finally couldn't help himself and kicked the others away.
The passing wind blew open the curtain of the sedan, revealing the panicked woman inside.
"Miss Wu..." Ji Cheng murmured as he looked at the familiar face.
Who is Wu Qianning? She has experienced countless hardships to reach this point. When she saw Ji Cheng and others who were the imperial guards appearing here and killing people, she understood a lot. The only one who could give the order was her husband.
Looking at Ji Cheng's face and the long sword in his hand, Wu Qianning smiled sadly: "You really became a general..."
Ji Cheng stood there stiffly, not knowing what to say. He had imagined the scene of their meeting countless times, but nothing like this.
"General! Kill her quickly! Don't let her live!" The deputy under the sedan chair couldn't help but shout anxiously. If Ji Cheng made the wrong choice at this moment and was seen by so many people, he would definitely not be able to bear the consequences afterwards!
Wu Qianning smiled when she heard this, glanced at the blue sky outside, raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin on her head: "I will not die at the hands of my own countrymen."
"No!" Ji Cheng was about to stop her when he saw Wu Qianning stabbing him in the heart without any hesitation.
"Huff huff..."
Wu Qianning opened her mouth and gasped violently, but a strong feeling of suffocation and coldness quickly swept through her body. The pain in her heart made her frown, and she fell backwards weakly.
"Miss Wu! I, I don't want to kill you... No!" Ji Cheng hugged her in his arms, and spiritual energy flowed into her body.
But Wu Qianning didn't have much cultivation, and with his heart destroyed, he was doomed to die.
In the final moments, she didn't go to see Ji Cheng, nor did she say anything more. This life was exhausting enough. Her family was killed when she was young, and her wet nurse ran away with her. When the plague broke out, her son sacrificed himself to save her...
I've owed people their lives since I was a child, and I've spent half my life trying to repay them. I should have paid it off...
…
"After that, I took her body away and made this coffin for her using the thousand-year-old black ice from the top of the iceberg." Ji Cheng said slowly.
Jing Zhan and others were stunned for a long time after listening to Ji Cheng's explanation. Who could have imagined that the once holy doctor Concubine Wu would have such an ending? When they thought about the rumors about her among the people today, they all felt it was ridiculous and sad.
"But... why do we do this?" Huike couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Zhilu took a deep breath. Now everything matched up, and explained, "It was originally a conspiracy, a conspiracy hatched by the Second Prince of Fuhai Kingdom and Emperor Zhou. They used it to eliminate their competitors and also to find a reason to start a war.
"And the reason such rumors spread in the world is not only because Emperor Zhou was jealous and spread rumors, but also because the Crown Prince of Fuhai Kingdom asked for Concubine Wu when he wanted to stop the war and pay compensation..."
Ji Cheng glanced at Zhou Zhilu coldly and said, "You know a lot, but it doesn't matter what the reason was back then. What matters is today. I will completely resurrect her!"
"Resurrection?!" everyone exclaimed in shock.
Zhou Zhilu whispered to Huike, who was standing beside him, "You Buddhists focus on nirvana and the afterlife. Have you ever heard of a spell that can bring back someone who's been dead for three or four hundred years?"
Huike quickly shook his head and explained, "How is that possible? Whether it's Nirvana or the afterlife, it's all about the transformation of the soul. The key is the existence of the soul. But how can the soul still exist for three or four hundred years after death?
"Hahahaha! That's your ignorance!" Ji Cheng laughed crazily, "I took the blood of ten thousand people, used the Bodhi tree to reshape her body, and used the red spider lily to nourish her soul. I will definitely succeed, I will definitely be able to revive her!"
After saying this, he completely ignored the people behind him and pressed his hands on the ground. Countless complex Sanskrit words flowed out from his arms, moved to the ground, and gradually covered the entire cave.
