Qian Dynasty 2nd Week
[4237th year of the Qianli calendar, month of La]
[There was a great famine that year, people ate each other, it was a time of chaos, Emperor Qian was incompetent, wars broke out everywhere, demons and evil spirits were rampant]
[You are an eight-year-old child who died of illness. You migrate with your parents, younger sister and a group of refugees to the southern state.]
[You have the memory of the last simulation, so you don't have to spend time digesting the memory. And because you have already made plans, you have 9/10 of the soul strength, so you decide on the spot to practice the Buddhist spiritual power of Tentoku Temple.]
[With the memory of your last practice, you are very fast. And because you put in several times more soul than last time, your speed is even more terrifying. In just two days, you have achieved the results of two months of practice last time.]
[You knew your father would sell your sister that night, so you decided:
A. Ignore it
B. Killing his father
C. Bring the whole family up the mountain
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
Can I save my sister and mother this time?
The option of killing the father is unnecessary. In such a chaotic world, the father is a representative of the feudal lower class. He was able to flee with his family for so long, and he even protected his son last episode. He is barely qualified.
If he killed his father as a son, in the chaotic last years of the Qianlong Dynasty, in the eyes of his mother and sister, it would be like a son committing treason and killing his father, killing the pillar of the family, and he would be blamed and resented.
People are too stupid. It is very troublesome to teach them well. Wu Ci does not have the time to waste on this for the time being.
Moreover, when he had just checked the history of the first round, Chu Ci's personal experience said that he was the son of the governor of Xiling County.
In the first round of Wu Ci, when his consciousness stepped into the long river of time, he saw Xiling and occasionally heard about the situation in Xiling.
At that time, it was said that Xiling suffered the most serious disaster, and under such circumstances, the city was attacked by demons and ghosts and the people were taken for food.
The governor of Xiling County used strategies to hold out, but the commander in charge of the army surrendered to the enemy on the spot because he had delayed sending troops for many years. Fifteen cities were successively conquered, resulting in the governor and his family dying in the last city of Xiling, allowing the surviving people to flee to Nanzhou.
If this information is true, it means that it was their father who faked his own death and escaped with their entire family. The reason they were able to stay with the famine-stricken group for so long without any harm to their wife and children was all because of their father.
In short, keeping it might be useful or give you some special information.
[You chose C. Take your whole family up the mountain]
[You have cultivated yourself now, you can take your family away from the refugee group and live in the mountains. Moreover, you have the memory of the cultivation in the previous round, and you know that the loopholes in the Tiande Temple's cultivation method require a lot of vitality, otherwise you must have sex with others and absorb their vitality. If you take your family to the mountains, you can hunt monsters in the mountains and try to use the monsters' vitality for cultivation.]
[You told your parents that you wanted to go up the mountain, but because you were too young, your parents didn't believe you. You avoided the sight of the refugees and performed a magic trick that the old monk had only seen once before. You made a small piece of snow bloom for a short time, and the scenery was like spring. This made them happy and convinced, and they followed you to the mountain.]
[You led your family to settle down in the mountains. Your father then told you that your sister had already contracted a disease. Although it was not contagious, she was dying. He had originally planned to replace her with someone else to ensure that you and your mother survived. But now, the situation has changed. He asked you if there was a way to save your sister.]
Wu Ci paused slightly.
My sister is sick?
So in the last episode, the father replaced his sister because she was sick, using absolute rationality to ensure the survival of the rest of the family.
Looking at it this way... my father really is worthy of being the "Prefect of Xiling County" as mentioned in the search term.
The first week tells the story of the Xiling County Magistrate who used a strategy to defend the city to the death. After being betrayed by the captain, his entire family died for his loyalty. It is clear at first glance that he is a capable and good official who loves his people like his own children.
But now, his father gave up his position as county magistrate, faked his own death with his family, and fled with the hungry people.
This means that the father has certain feelings for his family, and, at this stage, his family is more important to him than the people. Otherwise, he would never exchange his infected daughter for cannibalism, allowing the disease to spread among the hungry people who eat his daughter's flesh and blood, in exchange for his wife and son to survive.
Therefore, the act of exchanging one's own children for food was motivated by reason, rather than being an act of ordinary hungry people simply out of hunger.
If my sister had not been infected with the disease and would have died without a doubt, my father would certainly not have sold her off so quickly.
Wu Ci recalled that after his sister was sold last week, his mother was sold as well. On the night, his mother also left with his father on her own accord. She looked relieved, as if she had done so voluntarily.
At that time, my father and mother left together after a while, and they probably chatted for a while.
So, it is very likely that because there is no food, they have to pull another person to exchange.
But after losing their father, even if they could get food, their mother, who was a "Chuci", could not be protected as an orphan or a widow, and they might even be raped, killed and eaten.
Therefore, because of her daughter's death, the mother, who had already made up her mind to die, no longer wanted to live and volunteered to be exchanged for dry food so that her husband and son could survive.
An absolutely rational father, a mother who would do anything for her family, a sister who got sick and was eaten because she didn't know if it was really non-contagious as her father said, and "Chu Ci" who was the "holy son of Buddhism" but was "possessed by the devil" and killed the emperor twice during the birthday ceremony.
When I think about it this way, the whole "Chu Ci" family is really scary.
[You searched for herbs in the mountains and cured your sister, and your whole family settled down deep in the mountains.]
[Because the cultivation method of Tiande Temple requires a lot of vitality, otherwise it will backfire on itself. You don't want to take the lives of innocent people, nor do you want to do obscene things like animals in Tiande Temple. You kill monsters in the mountains to find a way to break it.]
[It is a pity that if it were not for the vitality absorbed by the clouds and rain during adultery, the vitality of other creatures would dissipate very quickly and could not be absorbed by humans. Otherwise, they would have been used for cultivation by Tentokuji Temple long ago.]
You persevere and never back down.
[After hunting, you accidentally discovered a solution: If you cruelly kill living beings, the harmful resentment and blood will be attached to the vitality and will not dissipate for a long time, allowing its vitality to be absorbed.]
[This "coincidence" is not a true coincidence, but rather it is due to your subconscious intolerance of aliens, which led you to discover a different way to solve the flaws of the Tentokuji technique.]
[You believe that "all things are created to nourish man" and "those who are not my kind must have different hearts", and you don't care about the lives of other races.]
[So you exorcised evil spirits and killed monsters. Over time, all spiritual creatures in the mountain were gone. Even innocent spirits were brutally killed by you. You used your vitality to practice cultivation. Your spiritual power was filled with blood and resentment. You were truly the Taisui God in the human world. You did not show any mercy from Buddhism.]
[You sense that the cultivation method of Tentoku Temple has reached its bottleneck and further seclusion will not help. You leave without hesitation, regardless of your parents and younger sister's attempts to keep you. You leave with a ban on them to protect their lives. You decide:
A. Go to Nanzhou
B. Go to the Imperial City
C. Travel around
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
There are actually three places to choose from...
Nanzhou was the place where the refugees were going before. If Wu Ci had not brought his family to the mountains, they should have settled down in Nanzhou.
Needless to say, the imperial city is where Tiande Temple and the old emperor are.
The last time Wu Ci was able to kill the old emperor, it was because of the right time, right place and unexpected circumstances. If they were to fight seriously, I wonder how many guards the emperor would have.
No one knows how many years the old imperial master of Tiande Temple has practiced. Wu Ci has only been practiced for a short time, and even if he uses 90% of his soul's speed, he has no confidence that he can defeat the imperial master.
He was probably only at the level of being able to defeat ten ordinary flesh and blood Buddhas at the same time.
First, he would travel around the world and find out if there was anything that would help him create a heroic legend, or see if there was any opportunity that would make him stronger. Then, he would commit suicide as soon as possible to end this file, lest his soul could not bear the burden of too many memories.
[You traveled around and happened to hear in a teahouse that the river in the once-rich Nanzhou had dried up and there was no rain. You asked the tea drinkers about the refugees who went to Nanzhou, but learned that the refugees were nowhere to be found. You became suspicious and went to Nanzhou.]
[You wandered the world alone at the young age of dancing with spoons. Although your clothes were not expensive, your body shape and temperament made you look like a rich man due to years of practice. You always encountered robbers and black shops who tried to extort and murder you. You killed them one by one, which made people happy, but as a result, the blood in your body became stronger.]
The age of dancing spoons... that means she is only 13 years old. Will having so much blood and energy in her body cause anything? Wu Ci temporarily noted this factor and chose to continue the simulation.
[You arrive at Nanzhou and see a shaman dancing in front of the economic channel that maintains the entire Nanzhou agriculture. Even the Nanzhou governor personally presides over the ceremony in front of the Weiyong River. You become suspicious and ask the people watching the ceremony about the rumor of severe drought in Nanzhou. The people say: The drought is true, it is because the river god is unhappy. This is the water palace of the Nanzhou river god, which was granted by Emperor Qian himself. Today is the day to marry a wife for the river god. A total of 30,000 young girls born on cloudy days and at wonderful ages are to be thrown into the river. When the wives arrive, the drought will be over.]
Wu Ci fell silent and looked gloomy.
Emperor Qian conferred the title of God, the River God married a wife...
Local gods such as mountain gods and river gods could indeed be pardoned and ennobled by the emperor. These gods pardoned and ennobled by the emperor were of the same rank as the local officials. They were all incense gods who relied on incense and annual offerings, or "national fortune," to practice.
In the first simulation, the heroic spirit Wu Ci obtained was of the "genius" level. For humans, genius is the highest level; but if these pardoned and conferred incense gods become heroic spirits, genius will be their basic level. This shows how special they are.
Just like the spirits that Wu Ci slaughtered in the mountains to cultivate vitality, ordinary spirits can be killed.
But if these gods were pardoned and ennobled by the emperor, they would be connected with the country's destiny.
This is equivalent to the monsters with backgrounds in the old heaven in "Journey to the West". Each of them has a story. They are either the boy of this immortal or the mount of that bodhisattva. They cannot be killed easily, even if it is the monsters' fault. You have to understand the ways of the world.
This is the unspoken rule. Even the Monkey King who once caused great trouble in the Heavenly Palace had to learn the ways of the world due to 500 years of suppression. He pretended to be injured and could not beat the boys and pets of those big shots. It was impossible for him to even hurt them a little.
They could only allow themselves to get hurt, and then go with a dejected smile to ask the masters of these monsters to come and take away their own boys and mounts.
The same goes for the monsters here that were pardoned and sealed by Emperor Qian with the national destiny. Each of them has its own organization, and can do all kinds of evil, but they also have their own destiny to protect them. Mortals cannot kill them, and even if they are killed by extraordinary methods, they will still be entangled by cause and effect.
The edible national destiny is cultivated, but one should be loyal to his duty. This Nanzhou River God caused a severe drought in Nanzhou, and today he wants to marry a young girl who was born on a yin day and 30,000 yin hours...
Those girls were still young, and they were separated from their families and sacrificed...
——They will be drowned in the river alive, become drowned ghosts, and suffer eternal torture until they completely lose their minds and become evil ghosts that will drag scapegoats into the water.
Before they completely lose their minds, the river god who deprived them of their lives and brought them all kinds of misfortune would take them as concubines or swallow them up.
This river god is no different from a demon, why should it be pardoned? And the governor of Nanzhou did not fight for the people, but instead offered a young girl as a sacrifice in exchange for the river god's anger?
[You think about your past experiences, which are similar to those of these girls. You were manipulated and exploited by the powerful. You decide:
A. Turn a blind eye
B. Angry at the state leader
C. Killing the River God
D.Additional Souls
E. Personal Coming
