After listening to what Le Zhengxunyi said, Li Zhuo suddenly realized: "Is it because of knowing these truths that your Majesty has been drinking and having fun with the concubines in the palace recently?"
"Ha," Le Zhengxun smiled, acquiescing.
Li Zhuo added: "I don't care what your Majesty thinks, but now the ferocious beast from the west has almost arrived outside Bianjing City, and the situation is extremely critical."
"So no matter how pessimistic your Majesty is about the future, you will always have to find a way to deal with those ferocious beasts outside Bianjing City, right?"
"After all, there are millions of people outside Bianjing City!"
"Don't worry about that." Lezheng Xunyi said seriously: "My Lezheng clan has been prepared for this for a long time. We are just waiting for those ferocious beasts to kill us. The leader of our Lezheng clan will have our own way to deal with it."
"What specific method is it?" After seeing Lezheng Xunyi's attitude, Li Zhuo was not very reassured about the Lezheng clan.
He plucked up the courage and said: "In this critical time of life and death, I boldly implore Your Majesty to take me to meet the leader of your Lezheng clan!"
"Well," Le Zheng It’s not like the royal family talks about both things, so it doesn’t matter.”
"Let's go!" Le Zhengxun said, waving to Chenghuo and others: "You guys will follow, and today I will introduce to you the chiefs and chiefs of my Lezheng clan! "
It is said that the Lezheng family of the royal family of Daliang Kingdom has extremely profound heritage.
Even deep dive monks can easily hold it in their hands, and there are even records of killing deep dive monks instantly in the palace.
Therefore, after hearing what Le Zhengxunyi said, Cheng Sheng and others showed unconcealable excitement.
At the moment, everyone is eager to know the true heritage of the Lezheng clan.
After all the monks followed Le Zhengxun to an inconspicuous side hall, they saw Le Zhengxun saluting against a wall of the side hall.
He straightened his clothes and said in a respectful tone: "Le Zhengxunyi, the forty-third emperor of the Liang Kingdom, met the clan leader and asked the clan leader to open the door."
The average life span of the emperors of the Liang Kingdom was about one hundred years old.
If the succession to the throne is calculated based on the age of more than 20 years, then a total of forty-three emperors from the Lezheng family have been passed down, which is equivalent to sitting on the throne for more than 4,300 years.
Compared to ancient times on earth, the Lezheng family has been sitting on the throne for a very long time.
In the side hall.
After Le Zhengxun finished speaking, he saw a voice coming from inside the wall: "Did you bring the rest of the people too?"
Listening to the voice, the speaker seemed to be an old man.
The old man's tone sounded very kind, but there was a hint of pain in his words, and he didn't know why.
The old man smiled and said: "Okay, the Liang Kingdom won't last long anyway, so let's bring them all in!"
"Thank you, ancestor!"
After receiving his ancestor's permission, Le Zhengxun looked happy and hurriedly turned back to Chenghuo and the others: "You all should follow me!"
After saying this, he saw a gap appear on the wall.
In the gap is a dark and deep marble passage that leads deep into the ground.
"Everyone should have seen the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Formation' in the west of Daliang Kingdom, right?"
In the passage.
Le Zhengxun rushed to Chenghuo and others while walking: "As we all know, the spiritual light formation requires a steady supply of energy to maintain it."
"The Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Formation is no exception, and it consumes much more energy than ordinary formations."
"So the world has always been curious about how our Daliang court maintains the operation of the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Array'."
While Le Zhengxun was talking, everyone had arrived at the end of the marble passage.
I saw Le Zhengxun raising his hand and tapping lightly on the wall at the end of the passage.
The next second, there was another crack in the wall. When you walked through the crack, you saw an emerald green bamboo forest.
Lei Lei couldn't help but sigh: "Unexpectedly, the elders of the Lezheng clan actually live in such a secret realm where birds sing and the flowers smell fragrant!"
"Ah,"
As soon as he said this, he heard miserable laughter in the bamboo forest.
The one who laughed miserably was still the old man from before.
When they were outside the secret realm before, Chengshuo and others didn't think there was anything unusual in the old man's voice.
But now that he was closer, it was not difficult to hear that there was always a hint of deep-hidden pain in the old man's words.
Not only that.
As Chenghuo and others walked deeper into the bamboo forest, the deeply hidden pain began to become more intense.
It even escapes inadvertently and forms black smoke that is as real as substance and can be seen by the naked eye.
"What a strong power of pain!"
After feeling the unusualness deep in the bamboo forest, Yun Rusong suddenly said: "So, is this the real secret of Daliang Kingdom's 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Array'?" The reason why that array has a steady stream of energy to maintain is because This bamboo forest? "
"It's not the bamboo forest." Le Zhengxun shook his head and said, "To be precise, it's the people in the bamboo forest."
As Le Zhengxun spoke, he waved his hand and fired a 'power of pain' forward.
The next second, a simple but crude courtyard appeared in front of Chengshuo and others.
The door rails and window partitions outside the courtyard are all carefully carved with agate, pearls and jade, but there is no red powder coating.
There are also snow-white powder walls on both sides, and below is a white stone platform made of tiger skin stones. It is exquisite and elegant, but not too gaudy and cliché.
The courtyard and the bamboo forest where everyone is located complement each other and are integrated into one.
Even Chengsheng, a time traveler, couldn't help but praise "good scene" when he saw it.
Lezheng Xun smiled and said: "This is not the case! The ancestors of my Lezheng clan will almost always come to this place to recuperate in their later years."
"Over the years, after more than 4,500 years, and after countless repairs and careful carvings and decorations by countless ancestors, we finally have such a fairyland on earth."
As he spoke, he led everyone into the courtyard.
There is a fairy stone named Lingxi in the courtyard.
They may look like ghosts or beasts, standing vertically and horizontally, with clusters of flowers and vines covering them.
During this period, there were occasionally servants and maids dressed in silk and satin passing through. They must have specially dressed the ancestors of the Lezheng clan.
After passing through the Immortal Stone Forest, I saw several old men lying on rattan chairs covered with animal skins and cotton, and on jade beds.
No need to think about it.
These old men are the hidden ancestors of the Lezheng clan.
The appearance of the ancestors of the Lezheng clan is in sharp contrast to the fairyland here:
They seemed to be suffering from some strange disease.
But I saw that the ancestors were covered with bulging lumps all over their bodies.
And some of the masses have obviously broken down, pus leaked, and ulcerated.
They cough from time to time, often with blood in their coughs.
They had difficulty breathing, and some had bloated abdomens like those of pregnant women who were ten months pregnant.
There are also those with facial paralysis and dull eyes.
There are all kinds of pathologies.
And it is not difficult to see from the facial expressions of the ancestors that almost all of them are suffering from tremendous torture all the time.
After seeing such a horrifying scene, Li Zhuo finally understood the so-called 'underlying' of the Lezheng clan.
He looked shocked and said: "So, the extremely rich 'power of pain' that I felt in the bamboo forest before was radiated by the ancestors here?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
Among all the ancestors.
The ancestor who seemed to be feeling a little better, and whose symptoms seemed not too serious, and who was relatively younger, said: "You are right, we ancestors who live in the bamboo forest are what our Lezheng clan calls them. 'Inheritance'."
Li Zhuo took advantage of the situation and asked: "So the ancestors became like this because of"
The young ancestor explained: "The reason why we are like this is actually because my Lezheng clan is born with a disease that cannot be cured."
"wrong."
"Rather than saying it is a disease, it is better to describe it as a 'curse', which is more appropriate."
"This is a curse that will haunt my Lezheng clan for generations to come."
The young ancestor said: "This kind of curse usually appears when my Lezheng clan is around forty or fifty years old."
"Initially, patients with the disease will only experience loss of appetite, weight loss, and night sweats."
"As time goes by, the condition gradually worsens, and the affected person will gradually feel uncomfortable all over the body, and then..."
As the young ancestor spoke, he glanced at the other ancestors around him and said with a wry smile: "Then we will become like us, and our whole body will no longer feel uncomfortable all the time."
"Even if an ordinary person breaks off his or her hand or leg, the pain will only last for a while. When the wound gradually scabs, the pain will gradually disappear."
"But our pain is ongoing."
"Ordinary people have toothaches and stomachaches. Although they are persistent, after all, they are just pain in a certain part of the body."
"Those with stronger willpower can bear it with gritted teeth."
"But our kind of persistent pain hurts the whole body, so you can imagine how painful it is."
In the courtyard.
Hearing what the young ancestor said, coupled with the clinical symptoms displayed by these ancestors, Chengshuo couldn't help but blurt out: "Isn't what you have got cancer, and it is a hereditary cancer in the family!"
"Cancer?" The young ancestor was stunned when he heard this: "What is cancer?"
"Uh" Chengshuo thought for a while and said, "Cancer is the name given to the disease our ancestors suffer from in our hometown."
"There are many types of cancer, but in short, all cancers are almost incurable, and the older people are, the more likely they are to get it."
"And the most frightening thing is that most people who suffer from this disease commit suicide and die, and very few actually die from the disease itself."
"Because this disease is so painful."
Chengshuo described: "If the pain of a mosquito bite is regarded as one, then the pain of a knife scratching the skin is three. By analogy, the pain of a broken finger can reach about ten levels, and the pain of childbirth is twelve levels." "
"Finally, the pain of cancer is on top of all pain levels. It is absolutely unbearable pain for humans."
"Yes, this disease can indeed be regarded as an unbearable pain for human beings." After hearing what Chengshuo said, Le Zhengxun smiled bitterly at the crowd and said: "Now, you finally know why I am acting like this when I succeed to the throne. Are you negative?"
Lezheng Xunyi said with helplessness in his tone: "Because I am also a member of the Lezheng clan, so I will also suffer such a fate in the future."
"Or, take the initiative to commit suicide after a certain age."
"Or, choose to enter this secret realm to survive, and provide a large amount of 'power of pain' to our Lezheng clan, and become the 'inheritance' of our Lezheng clan."
"Drink!" Lei Lei on the side couldn't help but gasped when he heard this.
He took advantage of the situation and said: "So, it is precisely because of the ancestors of the Lezheng clan, these 'inheritances', and a large amount of 'power of pain' that our Daliang Kingdom's 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Formation' , do you have the energy to maintain the operation of the formation?"
"That's right!" Lezheng Xunyi said with a bitter smile: "My father, Emperor Lezheng Tianhui, just because he couldn't bear this kind of torture and didn't want to suffer it, he passed the throne to him not long after he fell ill. I will pass away from this world."
Lezheng Xunyi continued: "The ancestors of my Lezheng clan have established a rule: if a sick person in the clan wants to commit suicide, no one is allowed to stop him. On the contrary, if he is sick but wants to live, the clan must The members need to do everything possible to keep him alive."
"That's it!" Li Zhuo looked astonished after hearing this.
He then asked further: "It is rumored that the imperial court once killed a monk in the deep dive stage who wanted to rebel, and it was a one-hit kill."
"But the genetic disease of your Lezheng clan only gives you a lot of 'power of pain', that's all."
Li Zhuo asked curiously: "So how did you kill the deep dive monk in one blow? Or, in other words, how did the Lezheng clan use this large amount of 'power of pain'?"
"I can't tell you directly."
Le Zhengxun smiled and said: "My Lezheng clan has a great weapon, which is hidden in the palace. As for what this great weapon is, it is not convenient for me to reveal it to you. After all, your surname is not Le Zheng." , I can’t tell you everything, can I?”
What Le Zhengxunyi said makes sense.
All the monks present nodded in agreement and stopped asking further questions.
Wei Li Zhuo continued: "Since Your Majesty has a 'big killing weapon' available, can this killing weapon stop the eight ferocious beasts that are about to arrive in Bianjing City?"
"Hard to say."
Le Zhengxunyi frowned and said: "Those ferocious beasts are definitely far more terrifying than you and I imagined, so we must kill all the ferocious beasts in one go."
"So instead of fighting to the death with the ferocious beasts, it is better to preserve our current strength and only focus on blocking the ferocious beasts and delaying time."
"Don't even think about killing them by force, that would be too exhausting!"
In the courtyard.
Le Zhengxun glanced at Chenghuo and others.
He solemnly said: "In short, there are still about three days until the teleportation array is completed. So as long as we can delay these three days, wait for the teleportation array to completely turn from virtual to real, and wait for the people to evacuate smoothly, then we It’s considered a success!”
