Chapter 435 Debts Must Be Repaid
When Su Nuan caught up with Xiaotian, she found him staring at a banyan tree in a daze, with many cicadas chirping on the tree.
She looked at Xiaotian's red and sweaty face and knew it was hot here too. She untied her backpack and took out a big bag from it.
"Xiaotian, you choose one."
Xiaotian came back to his senses and asked, "What to choose?"
When flying in the sky, there is wind, so I don’t feel hot but feel comfortable instead. But when I land, I feel suffocated by the heat.
Su Nuan opened the bag, picked up a piece of cold jade the size of a fist and said, "Look, this is cold jade, find one you like."
"It's a pity we don't have time, otherwise if we polished the cold jade, it would definitely sell well."
Xiaotian looked at Su Nuan steadily, then smiled, "Yeah, okay."
He felt that Su Nuan was the kind of flower that could bloom even in a barren desert, and nothing in the world could stump her.
Xiaotian searched carefully and found a piece of cold jade that looked like a little monkey, with the skin still uncleaned on it.
He took out the bone knife given by Su Nuan and carved a little, and a vivid little monkey appeared.
Su Nuan pushed the bag over in amazement and said eagerly, "You've carved them all, right? Let's go and cheat people, split it fifty-fifty."
Xiaotian looked at Su Nuan's bright eyes and couldn't bear to share her happiness.
"I'll help you carve, and find a few more rich people to cheat, and all the money will be yours."
"But we have to go somewhere first. If we can find a treasure like the treasure bag, you won't have to worry about not being able to bring your money back."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, yeah, when are we going?"
Xiaotian said, "I'll take care of this tree first. We'll stay at the villa. We can find the door to enter that place at midnight."
Su Nuan nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll find a well and cook."
"Okay." Xiaotian pointed to the right rear, "There's a well over there."
Su Nuan immediately put on her backpack and ran towards the well, leaving the bag of cold jade behind in a blatant manner.
Xiaotian looked at the bag and shook his head. He was not annoyed by the carving, but because Su Nuan was always so carefree.
If you say she is greedy, she has never been stingy with herself. If you say she is generous, she has a pair of eyes that are greedy for money.
He felt much better and began to weed the roots of the trees and sweep up fallen leaves.
Su Nuan went to the well to fetch water. She put a folding pot in her backpack and cooked a simple meal of bacon and rice.
While cooking and waiting, the space spirit asked, "Tell me, what is the current version?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor was originally a decisive and merciless person, and he wasn't lustful. Later, someone presented him with a beautiful woman as tribute, and this woman seduced the Emperor into becoming a tyrant. In the end, he was destroyed by his subordinates."
The space spirit said, "Hmm... not quite the same. It looks more like the first version. The version I had at that time has been revised many times, supplemented and corrected by archaeologists who dug up documents."
"Then comes the end of the world. Who will care about those things in the end of the world?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Then tell me about it."
The space spirit cleared its throat like a human and said seriously, "Divination was prevalent during the Human Emperor era. Every divination and sacrifice required human sacrifice."
"Later, the Human Emperor discovered that whether he used humans or animals for divination, the results were the same. He then abolished excessive sacrifices and reduced human deaths."
"Divination without human sacrifices was not recognized by the nobles, and they disagreed with abolishing human sacrifices. The Emperor then said that the status of ordinary people and slaves was not high enough, and that only the children of the nobility could be sacrificed, so that the divination would be accurate."
Su Nuan couldn't help but say, "Are those nobles really shooting themselves in the foot? They definitely don't like this."
The space spirit nodded, "Yes, that's why they opposed him and called him a tyrant."
"As for the beauty, she does exist, but she is not some vixen. Instead, she is a good wife who supports the Human Emperor's ways."
"In order to solidify the abolition of human sacrifice, the Human Emperor stopped worshipping gods and began to believe in humans. That's why people in later generations call him the Human Emperor."
"Later, some nobles could no longer tolerate the use of nobles as human sacrifices and the Emperor's promotion of slaves. Even more so, they could no longer tolerate the Emperor's lack of faith in God, so they began to rebel."
"It's a pity that the Human Emperor couldn't hold on and became the last Emperor of Faith of mankind."
"After the rebels took over the country, they compiled a list with many names of gods and goddesses, asking people to believe in them."
"From then on, people's faith turned to gods, and sacrifices gradually evolved and became more diverse."
Su Nuan suddenly realized, "I see. Now I understand. Now I also have great respect for God."
The Space Spirit smiled and said, "Faith is also a means of restraining humans. It can reduce the occurrence of evil things. There is nothing wrong with it."
"History books are written by the victors. If future generations don't portray the Emperor as brutal and cruel, then whoever replaces him will be considered a traitor. We need to give him some respect."
Su Nuan touched her nose and said, "That makes sense, but this version is already deeply ingrained. It's impossible to change it."
"We can only wait for future generations to find the documents and change their views. But whether they change or not is not important. After all, history cannot be changed."
The Space Spirit sighed, "Yes, but I still hope that the truth can be known to future generations."
Su Nuan shook her head. "What difference does it make whether I know or not? I want to know what happened to the woman next to the Human Emperor."
The Space Spirit said, "They committed suicide for love. They fell in love with each other the moment they met. It was the kind of love that would last a lifetime."
Su Nuan frowned and said, "But there were women and children in front of the Human Emperor. Didn't they say that they were harmed by that woman?"
The space spirit said: "This clue has not been discovered yet, but I think something must be wrong."
Su Nuan nodded. "Well, if the place we are looking for is really that woman's grave, there might be clues in it. I really want to know the truth now."
The space spirit stared at the campfire and said, "I'd like to know, too. Actually, everyone's significant other is fixed. If you haven't met your significant other, then anyone can be that significant other. But if you have met your significant other, then no one can squeeze in with them no matter how hard they try."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "There are so many promiscuous people in this era, loving one person today and another tomorrow."
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "There are people like this, because they only love themselves. How can they have long-lasting love for others?"
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and asked again, "What about the concubine?"
The space spirit thought for a moment and said, "Besides the right fate, there are also bad fates and emotional tribulations. If one's heart is strong enough, then both bad fates and emotional tribulations will eventually be broken, but one will also have to go through a heart-wrenching pain."
"These are all destined. If you don't meet them, it's fine. But if you do, you have to pay back the debt you owe."
Su Nuan pursed her lips, thinking of someone's actions, and asked, "You said that they were husband and wife in their previous life. If they meet in this life, will they fall in love?"
