End of the second week
Although it is unknown what the River God's specific strength is, and whether he can kill the incense god granted by the emperor, this Wu Ci did not intend to live too long...
Moreover...
Wu Ci probed his consciousness into the long river of history and saw those girls.
As the wives that the river god was going to "marry", all of them were very beautiful and pitifully young. Such girls could have been a little willful and not be disliked at all.
They clearly deserve a better life, but now they are huddled together in fear, looking pitiful, like a group of beautiful lambs that are pushed out by the black goats in the flock and offered to the devil, and are about to be slaughtered.
The river god gets married. I learned about this in the witchcraft textbooks in my previous life.
This is almost the same as when foolish and sinful people placed the girl on a tray woven from leaves and pushed her into the turbulent river, in exchange for good weather and rain as the wife of the river god.
It seemed that the ending at that time was changed to throwing the witch away in order to promote positive energy?
Quite the right approach.
Since it was the shaman who communicated with the river god, why couldn't they just throw the shaman down and plead with the river god?
The river god himself is an old man. Could it be that he would discriminate against the old and ugly shaman with a mouth full of yellow teeth that are half-fallen out because of his appearance?
However, the river god in the textbooks at that time was fake, while the river god this time was real. Sacrifices had to be made, so the witches could not be blamed. Even the sin of the governor of Nanzhou who agreed to sacrifice the young girl was not the main cause.
Let’s get to the root of the problem.
"I choose C."
[You chose C. Kill the river god]
[Due to past experiences, you hate the abuse of power by tyrants to bully innocent people for their own pleasure, and you also want to use the river god training as a reference for the strength of the incense god. You use the spell you learned in the last round when you were practicing in the Sutra Pavilion of Tentoku Temple to set up a barrier on the shore to prevent the girl from being thrown into the river as a sacrifice, and then you jump into the turbulent river.]
[The spiritual energy is surging, and the river water is stirred up by you, becoming extremely turbid. A black dragon rushes out of the water, and becomes furious when it sees you preventing it from marrying a wife.]
The consciousness of Wu Ci sank into the long river of history with the help of the contract evidence, and saw the current scene from the perspective of God.
The water of the Nanzhou Tongji Canal was surging. The soldiers on the shore who were blocked by his spiritual barrier were guarding the Nanzhou governor who was dressed in gorgeous clothes on the sacrificial platform and standing there to watch. The commander in golden armor and the girl in a pink skirt wearing a golden lotus shawl were standing in front and talking. Behind them, the young brides with numb eyes huddled together for warmth.
The identity simulated by Wu Ci was still that of a young boy who had just left childhood. He was standing alone on the broad stone bridge of the Nanzhou Tongji Canal, wearing a black outfit that was resistant to dirt, and a martial hat on his head to cover his face, but he was not equipped with any weapon.
The dragon emerged from the water, revealing only the upper half of its head. Its eyes were gleaming and it had a single horn on its head. Its terrifying shadow enveloped the young man in black like a tiny ant.
This dragon relied on the country's fortune to practice, and before it turned into a dragon, it had already grown a dragon horn!
The dragon is a mythical beast of good fortune, and anyone with even a little bit of its bloodline is definitely a superior being. However, Jiao, who is in the process of cultivating into a dragon, is the embodiment of disaster.
In order for a Jiao to transform into a dragon, it must experience a thunderstorm. Every time it appears in people's eyes, it often represents floods and rainstorms, which is the so-called "Jiaolong walking on the water", one of the most terrifying natural disasters in ancient times.
What's more, this evil dragon has already grown dragon horns, which shows that it is quite powerful.
The pressure of the higher beings made everything still, except for the iron sword hanging under the stone bridge, which swayed slightly in the wind caused by the turbulent water.
That is the "Dragon-Slaying Sword". Most bridges have such a "Dragon-Slaying Sword" hanging under the bridge or directly embedded in the bridge since they were built.
The sword was made of ordinary iron. Even if it was blessed by a great Taoist master, it was only a threat. It was named after the dragon, which is the evolution of the Jiao. The word "cut" was used to prevent the Jiao from escaping into the water, which was a psychological comfort. However, it was useless against this huge black Jiao.
Wu Ci used a God's perspective to peek into this corner of history and found that the scene of his face-to-face confrontation with the black dragon was extremely shocking. The people on the shore were all talking about it, stunned, and all felt sorry for him.
The witch who had been dancing just now was speaking in an incomprehensible dialect, as if he was denouncing his behavior for angering the Dragon King.
Right now, with the right time, right place, and right people, and in full view of the public, isn’t this fame! Isn’t this a chance to create a hero!
Wu Ci looked at the figure that was completely simulated based on his own thoughts and narrowed his eyes solemnly.
If it really is all according to his ideas and behavior... then now... he should start pretending!
Sure enough, the next moment, the spiritual power and blood energy in the air that was invisible to the naked eye caused the young man's black robe to move without wind.
The dragon-slaying sword under the bridge clanged, as if ready to take action.
"Sword."
The black-robed young man put his two fingers together, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword imbued with his spiritual energy and blood broke free from the restraints of the bridge and rose up quickly, circling around him gently yet restlessly.
"It's the Dragon Slaying Sword!" The general in golden armor at the front alertly quickly protected the girl in pink clothes with golden hairpins beside him, and turned around and shouted to the high place on the altar, "State Lord, retreat quickly! Be careful not to get affected! This young man wants to use this Dragon Slaying Sword to kill the dragon!"
The crowd on the shore was shocked and in chaos.
The black dragon in the river paid no attention to the people on the shore. Its cold beast pupils slowly turned and locked onto the black-robed young man in front of it who looked like an ant but exuded a strong bloody aura.
What a pity. After all, he is just a mortal. Even if he is a cultivator, he cannot resist the fate of the country and the destiny. It is ridiculous to want to confront him with an ordinary iron sword. I wonder what the quality of his flesh is like?
The black dragon was about to laugh at the stupid human in front of him, but he saw the young man stop his spiritual sword, raised his hand and grabbed the Dragon Slashing Sword that was suspended in the air at his side and pulled it out!
The restrained momentum exploded, the sword flashed, and the black veil of Dou Li was blown away by the impact, revealing a pair of pale blue eyes!
Wu Ci then discovered that the appearance of the simulated identity was gradually becoming more and more similar to his real face.
[You strike first, using your spiritual energy and blood to possess the Dragon Slashing Sword, and fight the black dragon. The black dragon is no match for you, but it uses the luck of the incense country to protect itself, and uses the luck of the human race to suppress you. The evil blood in your body is shaking, breaking the luck and breaking its horns, and the black dragon escapes on the spot.]
[The evil spirit that caused the killing of innocent monsters was dragged by the destiny and turned against itself. You did not chase after it, but only picked up the dragon horn and used its function to bring rain to Nanzhou on its behalf, and left as the people tried to keep you.]
[You lamented the hardships of life, practiced in seclusion for a year, and then went to the capital. You decided:
A. Go to Tentokuji Temple
B. Go to the Palace
C. Continue to kill the monsters to condense blood
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
The time span is too long, and there is nothing to be found no matter how hard you look. It is time for this file to die.
Among the three choices, it is estimated that Option A corresponds to finding the abbot of Tiande Temple and taking the first route branch again; Option B is to directly fight against the imperial teacher and kill the old emperor; Option C, killing the monsters to condense blood and energy, corresponds to continuing to refine cultivation.
The incense gods pardoned by the emperor are all protected by the national destiny and have their own organization. They are considered officials appointed by the court. It is very difficult to kill them, and it will also be affected by the cause and effect.
However, judging from what happened in the simulator, Wu Ci can use the blood and energy from killing lives to fight against the fate of the country and kill the gods who have been pardoned...
Presumably, an emperor who has his own dynasty's luck can directly summon those gods to protect himself...so option C is the safest.
But this won't work, Wu Ci is out of time, his body can't support such a long soul memory.
You can only choose A and take the path of the next level to see if you can get out of the branch because of the different time period from the previous level, kill the old emperor again, vent your hatred, and when this level is over, the goal of the next level will be to kill monsters to condense blood and increase your cultivation.
【You chose A. Go to Tentokuji Temple】
[You sneaked into the temple in the dark of night, relying on your own cultivation, and came to the meditation room of the old monk who was the abbot. You suppressed him in his surprise, and talked with him by candlelight at night, sitting and discussing the truth. He was sincerely convinced by you, as if he had seen a god.]
[This time, because your soul strength is far greater than that of the old monk, the effect of your [preaching] is particularly significant. He immediately wrote a letter to the Imperial Master's Mansion, declaring you the Holy Son of Buddhism and deciding to abdicate and let you succeed.]
[You rejected the old monk and inherited the position of the Holy Son of Buddhism in front of your fellow disciples and all the people in the capital. Due to an "accident", your black gauze hat was accidentally knocked off during a lecture. You were so radiant that you looked like a god or Buddha, and your reputation spread far and wide. The emperor heard of your fame and coveted you, so he invited you to the palace to "lecture", and you readily agreed.]
[After entering the palace, you were arranged by the old emperor to stay in the harem temporarily. That night, the old emperor summoned you to "preach the scriptures". You immediately used "preaching". The old emperor was sincerely convinced and said that the gods had come to the world and should not be desecrated. However, he was still lustful and wanted to make you the queen, put you in a high cabinet, and treat you as a treasure. You decided:
A. Gladly agree
B. Reject on the spot
C. Cut it off in anger
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
Good job... It's because of this face again. It's the same in every world.
Wu Ci sighed and rubbed the scar under his left eye.
The original body's face looks the same as his, and the scar is the same, which is why the fit is so high that they can directly summon him from 20 years ago... So there's no need to feel it's not worth it, at least he got another life because of this face.
But... he is underage, right? He is only a few years old... this old emperor is doing this?
It is like this in every era. Is it his face's fault, or is it the world and others' fault?
[You chose B. Reject on the spot]
[You knew that the palace was in crisis and that it was impossible for you to kill someone suddenly. You were unwilling to agree, so you refused on the spot and waited for your chance.]
[Because of your [preaching] with the old emperor, the old emperor did not make things difficult for you. He just felt that his own ability was insufficient, but he was able to impress you sooner or later. Although you have no title or substance, he treated you with the courtesy of an empress.]
[You saw that the old emperor ignored state affairs, spent his days indulging in wine and women and pursuing immortality in the harem, so you pretended to ask for help and asked him about the cultivation methods other than those in the Tiande Temple. The old emperor was surprised and happy. In order to make you smile, he spent the people's money and resources and mobilized the country to capture a young Taoist priest.]
Wu Ci looked into the long river of history and saw the old emperor smiling at him attentively, "Son Chu... now is not the same as before. The main god is hidden and the mystery is not revealed. Except for Taoism, the side sects' magic and skills are not as good as Tiande Temple. Although Taoism is an evil way, as long as you are happy, I will let him stay in the palace to make you happy!"
He changed his perspective and saw a young Taoist in a green robe being tied up and brought into the hall.
A very familiar person...it's the Taoist Tianji who summoned the Yellow Turban Warriors to break into the palace last week.
What a coincidence, I was caught here early this week and fell into his hands.
[The Taoist priest was tied up and brought to the palace, but he would rather die than surrender. You decide:
A. Let him go
B. Kill him in anger
C. Sitting and talking
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
Talk! You can talk! Let's talk together! It's easy to talk if you can! If it weren't for the simulator and the long-term memory limit of the body, Wu Ci could directly brainwash the whole world into believers.
【You chose C. Sit and talk】
[You quoted scriptures and made up stories, nine true and one false, pointing directly to the great way. Tianji Taoist was sincerely convinced and broke through on the spot. He regarded you as the favored one of the gods. He said that Taoism was over and was labeled as an evil way, and was wantonly killed and suppressed by Buddhism. He was the only heir of the Tianji lineage of Taoism. He was willing to blind himself and calculate the future for you.]
[You have a treacherous plan in mind and refuse on the spot. Recalling what you saw last week, you want to take his ability for yourself. You pretend that you don't want him to sacrifice for you. You talk about the way at your feet and do it immediately. You only want to sacrifice yourself for others. Ask him for the secret method of Tianji Yimai.]
[The Taoist Tianji was so grateful that he shed tears. He ignored his master's teachings and passed down all his secrets to you, even his cultivation and Taoism. He betrayed his master on the spot and was willing to die for you.]
[You never trust others. You combine the Taoist teachings and the Buddhist teachings of Tiande Temple to compile a book called "Tianjie Sutra" that points directly to the Great Dao. This practice is a demonic practice that robs people of their vitality and cultivates the blood and energy of others in order to enter the Dao. This completely eliminates the drawbacks of the Tiande Temple's practice.]
[In the imperial palace, you deceived the emperor to summon all the pardoned gods and ordered the Taoist priest Tianji to use the secret method of Tianji to seize their luck and vitality, and deprive their souls of the right to reincarnate, so as to complete the "Heavenly Starvation Sutra" for you.]
[The Imperial Master objected loudly, saying that you are an evil demon that harms the country, but the Emperor is determined to please you, and he scolds the Imperial Master with the fate of the dynasty.]
[Because of your actions, many righteous people have risen up. The Lord of Nanzhou has risen up in rebellion, leading all the righteous people to unite with the national teacher, vowing to enter the palace and remove the emperor's side.]
[You were confident and went to fight alone, but because of the "Heavenly Scripture", you detected that the Lord of Nanzhou had an evil aura, which was even contagious. You took a closer look and found that except for you, all the righteous men and soldiers and civilians were biologically contaminated. If they were slightly provoked, they would turn into evil demons.]
[In order to protect the people, you used the Heavenly Starve Scripture to devour the evil spirit. However, because you had practiced for too short a time and your body was weak, you gathered all the evil spirit behind you and died, leaving only a murderous name.]
[End of this simulation]
【Welcome back】
[Preparing to merge this simulated memory]
Wu Ci, who was leaning against the sink, was well prepared and had been waiting for this news. However, as redundant memories flooded in, he couldn't help but sway. He bit his lips tightly, clasped his fingers on the edge of the sink, and knelt down with a groggy head, coughing up blood.
My brain was like a needle sticking up straight up. I could hear the sound of blood rushing through the blood vessels toward my brain. My temples were throbbing with pain along my eyeballs. My heart was twitching violently with my disordered breathing. It felt as if all my internal organs were being squeezed by the memories, as if they had shifted.
[Obtained Heroic Spirit (Outstanding Person): The Evil Demon that Brings Disaster to the Country. Chuci]
After all the fuss, he is still at the "Outstanding" level. Is it because of the times that he cannot reach the "Heroic Soul" level?
Is this all we can do?
If this is the case, then there is no need to brush it anymore. The body cannot bear too many memories...
Wu Ci kneaded his temples, waited for the memories to fully merge, and began to recall the short period before his death.
There is something very suspicious about the ruler of Nanzhou. The last time I saw him, he was just an ordinary man presiding over the wedding ceremony of the river god. This time, he directly united righteous men from all over the world to rise up and sent troops to Beijing to purge the emperor. He was also filled with evil spirits, and even infected everyone except Wu Ci who practiced the "Heavenly Scripture".
Where did these evil spirits come from?
When I was traveling before, I heard a piece of news that the refugees where Wuci started were missing. But those refugees clearly moved to Nanzhou, and there were more than tens of millions of them, so why did they disappear? Even if they encountered an accident along the way, there should have been news, right?
As for Tentokuji Temple and the Imperial Master, they seemed to truly believe that their evil ways could save mankind. They also seemed to truly believe that they were a reputable and upright sect, and they listened to the old emperor very much.
The witch's words caused the old emperor to suffer heavy losses and the imperial master opposed it like a loyal minister. After he died, the old emperor was not touched. Was it because of the dynasty's luck in the old emperor?
He tried hard to recall the details, but in the end he could only remember that he had evil spirits entering his body and could not control it. In order not to harm others, he committed suicide in the army. All the people who had been brainwashed and preached by him walked over in sorrow. The old emperor was even more outrageous, and rushed over crying.
Just when Wu Ci thought that he would not be cursed this time and the heroic spirit he got was barely usable, Miru's consciousness after death...heard the sound of the dog emperor with a head full of yellow waste unbuttoning his belt...
