Just when everyone was beheading the protector of the country, a major event also happened in the capital.
The old emperor, who was drinking and having fun with his cabinet ministers, had a face full of horror. The loyal and capable ministers he usually relied on the most suddenly started to bleed from his orifices, and large arm-long centipedes emerged from his back.
"Come here, escort me!"
"Someone come quickly!"
After a long time, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and the guards arrived belatedly.
And this kind of scene not only appeared in the palace, but also many ministers who went home to rest suddenly died suddenly and in extremely miserable circumstances——
Either the orifices are bleeding, or the face is ferocious, or the body is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But without exception, these people have a giant centipede hidden inside their bodies.
Obviously, they had already secretly devoured all the internal organs, flesh and blood of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, leaving only a virtual shell. On weekdays, these impure beasts controlled this shell and came to court to discuss state affairs and handle political affairs.
How can the world not become dark over time?
How can monsters not be rampant?
However, the old emperor didn't care about this now. He only worried about his own comfort. He hid behind the guards, looked at the paralyzed Xu Ke on the ground, and the loose bullfighting uniform and crane scarlet robe, and shouted:
"Take all these things and burn them, burn them all!"
"quick!"
With out-of-spirited shouts, the guards straightened their helmets and approached cautiously, for fear of being bitten by those giant centipedes.
After all, centipedes are extremely poisonous. One as big as a palm can sting a person half to death, let alone such a giant creature, which can live for at least a hundred years.
"Dead...dead?"
When they got closer, someone immediately noticed the clues and pushed the long insects lying on the ground with their sabers. Seeing that they were still motionless, they couldn't help but feel a little bolder.
He picked up the insect corpses with their official uniforms and threw them into the brazier rising outside.
From beginning to end, the centipede did not struggle, letting the fire burn until it turned into ashes, leaving pieces of thumb-sized balls.
"Go back to Jinling. I want to go back to Jinling and show off. No, my ancestors have a rule and they are not allowed to move south..."
In the whisper, the emperor in dragon robe was thinking particularly quickly. He looked at a guard, calmed his mind, and ordered:
"Find the prince immediately and ask him to ascend the throne as soon as possible. I will be the supreme emperor from now on, and I will take the concubines in the harem to Jinling to rest in peace."
"yes."
The guard received the order and left in a hurry.
Obviously, with the death of Pudu Cihang, the protector of the country, a series of reactions began to appear.
And what happened in the palace was just a microcosm.
All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty disappeared, as did the feudal officials, and the order directly collapsed.
Especially when the people in the head of Guizhou went to Huguo Temple to seek refuge, only to find that all the Buddha statues they worshiped were broken and the ground was covered with insect corpses. After that, all kinds of rumors began to spread wildly.
For a time, there was a roar of wind and cranes, and the grass and trees were in a state of panic.
The Forbidden Army soldiers quickly sealed the city gate and, under the leadership of the new leader, began to track down the monsters. However, they were just ordinary people with good skills. They did not have any magical means to detect monsters, so they gained very little.
"Alas, Your Majesty's belief in Buddhism has led to the ruin of the country. Now the evildoers are on the rise and the court has collapsed. Where should we go from here?"
"Now it's time to call me the Supreme Emperor. Let's go home tonight, pack up our belongings, and follow the emperor to the south. The south of the Yangtze River is peaceful and abundant, so life should be good in the future."
"I haven't contacted you for a long time. Are the nobles there willing to accept you?"
“You’ll be sleeping in the open air and surrounded by monsters along the way. Can you survive it?”
The soldiers were anxious and began to spread various rumors.
Some generals not only did not stop him, but actually participated in the discussion, because they had little knowledge to begin with. Not long ago, because there was no one available in the court, they were promoted to this position in a hurry. It was purely a waste of money.
By the end of the conversation, people would unanimously express their longing and admiration for Taoism, and then go to the ruins of the former Chenghuang Temple to light incense and pay their respects.
Fortunately, the capital city is still dynastic, and the Ming Dynasty's state of affairs exists in name only, but the centipede is still alive. As long as no one slaughters all the royal family members and destroys the ancestral temple, there is still a small amount of human dragon energy left here, which is shocking. Demons and ghosts of low moral character.
As for the old demons, they hide far away and move to the outskirts of North Zhili. Because they are smart and are afraid of the existence that will kill Pudu Cihang, they do not dare to show off their evil and keep a low profile as demons.
At a time when the capital seemed to have returned to calm, but in fact an undercurrent was surging, the place where Pudu Cihang fell was rarely peaceful.
The vegetation is lush and the flowers are fragrant.
With the passage of time, the broken mountains and broken earth veins here have been restored to their original state.
In addition, under the wash of the spiritual rain, all the poisonous mist, miasma, and poisonous blood spewed out by Pudu Cihang were also cleaned away.
"I didn't expect that this three-stripe elixir would be so powerful. It not only cleared away the remaining poisons of heaven and earth entrenched here, but also made the peach trees bear fruit in advance."
It's late spring now, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but under the catalysis of the pill powder, it only takes a moment and a half for them to bloom and bear fruit.
Seeing this, everyone simply refused to leave. They sat cross-legged on the ground, using peach blossoms as cushions, and planned to hold a peach feast.
In Journey to the West, flat peaches are divided into three categories:
The first type has microscopic flowers and small fruits, which ripen once every three thousand years. People who eat them will become immortals and become healthy and light;
The second layer of flowers is sweet and fruity. It ripens once every six thousand years. People who eat it can ascend to the sky and become immortal;
The third type of purple-striped Hunan core is ripe once in nine thousand years. If a person eats it, his life span will be the same as that of heaven and earth, and the sun and moon will have the same age.
The flat peaches that Lu Li and the others ate were of the fourth type. They were red and white, and each one was as big as a person's embrace. A refreshing fragrance filled their nostrils.
But the effect is not as good as those above. Mortals can live longer by thirty years and strengthen their bodies after eating it. But after these practitioners enjoy it, they can improve their spiritual conduct, cheer up their spirits, and satisfy their appetites.
"Sweet and crunchy, not bad."
"Although the essence of plants and trees is good, I still like to eat meat. Why not eat this thousand-year-old centipede essence?"
"Remove the venom glands and grill them with Dao fire. The taste should be good, especially the upper body. It almost transforms into a dragon. It can be regarded as a real dragon in advance."
Once the proposal was put forward, it was unanimously supported.
Even the dragon girl who came to rain could not help but look forward to it. After all, there was no blood relationship between her and Pudu Cihang. Being able to eat this kind of flesh and blood that almost turned into a real dragon was really a miracle. A great blessing from heaven.
I originally thought that this peach party would have a lot of self-pleasure elements. Lu Li was thousands of miles away from the Queen Mother's Banquet, but suddenly I felt that this was indeed a good idea, and the level of it suddenly improved.
After all, no matter what, there is no real dragon on the peach banquet.
Ever since, the mouth-watering aroma of meat wafted out from the forest that was filled with the sounds of vegetation.
"Everyone, I am proficient in painting, so I will draw this scene on paper and keep it as a souvenir in the future."
"good."
Amid the laughter and laughter, everyone enjoyed the tranquility and comfort after the war.
