If you spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.
No matter how the emperor explained and explained, and the Witch Queen's subordinates argued hard, more and more people still believed that the Witch Queen was a monster.
Generations of them have lived on the life of Nanzhao Kingdom. Otherwise, how can we explain that over the years, Nuwa's temple has often been knocked down, but Nuwa's descendants will forgive everyone again and again?
Are all the descendants of Nuwa short-sighted?
After ruling out all the impossibilities, the biggest possibility is that the descendants of Nuwa must rely on the people of Nanzhao Kingdom to stay young and immortal.
They are all evil!
Rumors stop only among the wise. This sentence also means that as long as something spreads widely, more and more people will trust it and even believe it.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
There are loyal guards and maids waiting outside the door twelve hours a day. One is to protect King Zhao's safety, and the other is to listen to orders at any time.
The study room is equipped with exquisite bookshelves, desks and stationery, gorgeous murals and thick carpets on the floor. The colors inside the house are mainly golden and red, symbolizing the royal dignity and authority.
King Zhao was sitting on the throne, his brows furrowed, and the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance of ink. In the past, this smell not only made people feel at ease, but also made people focus more on government affairs.
"Wei Chen, please pay homage to the king."
King Zhao was startled. He looked up and saw the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult standing in front of him, saluting respectfully.
How did he get in?
"Master of the Worshiping Moon, what do you mean? Do you want to assassinate the king and usurp the throne?" King Zhao said in a deep voice, his voice subconsciously amplified.
But there was still no movement outside.
Baiyue crossed his hands, placed them in front of his heart, and said calmly: "Wei Chen never meant this."
"Then why did you appear directly in front of me without any notification?" King Zhao asked.
As the leader of a country, although he has never mastered the real power of the country, he has received a real education in political power. At the very least, he can still do it even if the mountain collapses before him.
"Haha, Your Majesty, I just want to make a deal with you. I don't want to see Nuwa's descendants again. In exchange, the rights and wealth of Nanzhao Kingdom will belong to you, Your Majesty!" Baiyue smiled.
"Nonsense!" King Zhao was a little dissatisfied: "My surname is Zhao, and I am the head of the Nanzhao Kingdom. In the whole world, is it the king's land? Is it the land of the king? Is it the king's ministers? Everything in the Nanzhao Kingdom belongs to the king." This king.
And Qing'er is Gu's first wife, the witch queen of Nanzhao Kingdom, and you still want to murder her. Sure enough, you have been disobedient for a long time. "
"Oh? Is it true? I don't believe it!" Baiyue smiled, with a look of indifference on his face that he understood everything.
"Your Majesty, although the Zhao family has always been the master of Nanzhao Kingdom, can your decree be allowed to travel thirty miles away from this palace?
Moreover, you are glorious and proud as the first king to marry a witch queen, but as far as I know, you have neither won her nor her heart.
According to the rules of the Nuwa clan, you are not allowed to get involved with other women. So, Your Majesty, who will be the next generation of King Zhao?
The Zhao family is going to be extinct!
Come on, cooperate with me. I am a practitioner. I have no interest in power or wealth. I am the best partner and family member. "
King Zhao was startled, and then began to hesitate.
Yes, as an emperor, he wants to sacrifice the entire people of Nanzhao Kingdom and the efforts of generations of Zhao family predecessors for the so-called love?
But, that is love!
After a long while, King Zhao took a deep breath and asked, "How should I trust you?"
Bai Yue shook his head: "Your Majesty, you don't have to believe me. What you should believe are the loyal ministers like Saint Aunt and Elder Shi. They all hold important positions in our Bai Yue Sect and even hold great power.
As long as the Witch Queen disappears, the Moon Worship Sect, Nanzhao Kingdom, and everything else will be yours!
As a mortal, you fight against the gods, and your name will remain in the history of Nanzhao forever! "
After another long while, King Zhao asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
"I am a practitioner, and practitioners can take and ask for everything in the world, including money, wealth, food and jewelry, food and wine, and women's rights. Some people are even tired of it.
As for me, my first request is that everyone in Nanzhao Kingdom become a member of my Moon Worship Cult and pray sincerely every day. Second, I want to know, what is true love? "Baiyue said calmly.
"What is true love?"
King Zhao was silent.
True love, does it really exist? Others don't know, but for an emperor, there is a high probability that there is no such thing.
hehe!
…
one year later.
Meridian Gate.
"After slaying the witch, slay the evil spirits; after slaying the witches, slay the evil spirits!" Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Meridian Gate, shouting loudly and in anger.
These people include ordinary people, beggars, common people, businessmen, officials, moon worshipers, in short, everyone is mortal.
King Zhao sat on the high platform, looking uncertain.
Without the Witch Queen, he is the supreme emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom. No one can hold power more legitimately than him, and he can also marry many beauties and continue the family line.
But there is a problem. The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult is a practitioner. Who can stop him when the time comes?
The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult standing in front suddenly turned around and looked at a young man thoughtfully.
This person possesses pure Shushan magic power and is a strong swordsman. What makes him pay attention is that his aura is very different from reality, and seems to be incompatible with this world.
This reminded him of another legend about Nuwa's descendants: Go back to the past!
It’s really interesting!
Thinking of this, Baiyue raised his hand, and tens of thousands of people suddenly fell silent, as if they clicked some strange button.
"Your Majesty, it's time to begin!"
King Zhao took a few deep breaths, and finally raised his hand and waved lightly.
A moment later, the Witch Queen dressed in blue, the most stunning beauty in Nanzhao Kingdom, was escorted over by a group of mortals, walking slowly with heavy fine iron shackles on her hands and feet.
Seeing the visitor, the people in the audience immediately pointed and pointed, some cursed, and some even threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.
I don't know who it was, but the throw was very accurate. Every time it hit Qing'er's buttocks, causing a wave of waves.
Shameless!
A moment later, Qing'er stood quietly in front of King Zhao, with a gentle and warm smile on his face. There was no anger, no sadness, and no fear.
Faced with such a smile from his wife, King Zhao suddenly began to regret it.
What on earth is he doing?
"Qing'er, I'm sorry!"
Qing'er smiled and said, "I don't blame you. I know that it is more difficult for you to accuse me than to make any decision."
"She is a devil who subverts the country! She deserves to be killed!" Bai Yue said directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "It should be killed, it should be killed, it should be killed!"
Everyone rebelled against their relatives.
Qing'er turned around and looked at everyone in the audience lovingly.
They are all their own people, their loved ones, but today they have to die.
Do they really know the truth? Do they really know what they are doing?
Just like the dogs in the village, one dog barked inexplicably, and all the other dogs jumped out and barked one after another, although they didn't know why they barked.
This is the pity of most mortals. They are always blinded by some news that seems to be true but not false, and they are forced to move forward.
"Kill the Witch Queen! Kill the Witch Queen!"
"Shut up!" King Zhao was furious.
But no one in the audience listened to him, not even the guards, beggars, and officials below.
This scene immediately gave him a chill in his heart.
Faith turns out to be more terrifying than power and wealth.
"Kill!" A group of guards in the audience rushed away from the protection of the palace guards, holding spears and preparing to stab Qing'er to death, their eyes full of indifference.
Evil demons and heretics, everyone will find them and punish them!
"Qiang~"
There was a flash of sword light, and a long white jade sword was inserted directly in front of Qing'er.
"Boom~"
Then dozens of sword energy raged, directly knocking those ordinary people off the stage.
Mo Yixi appeared next to Qing'er and hugged her slim waist.
King Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly: "Taoist Priest Mo, what are you going to do?"
"Unfaithful king!" Mo Yixi was furious: "You actually brought your wife to the stage for trial. Ordinary people don't know that. Don't you know that? Qing'er is born sacred and is a descendant of Nuwa!"
Qing'er frowned: "Brother Mo, the king has no choice but to do this, he has no choice."
Mo Yixi was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about? You are almost dead!"
He really couldn't understand why, with Qing'er's cultivation, he allowed these mortals to bully him, and was even willing to let them kill him.
Why?
"Although my people hate me, I will not escape. If I can sacrifice my life in exchange for their sanity, then I am willing to do so.
I just hope they will no longer be deceived by the Moon Worship Cult! "
When speaking these words, Qing'er still looked at the world lovingly.
They are just deceived, but they are still good in nature, and Baiyue is also her people, the people she wants to love.
If his death can make him realize love, then his death will be valuable.
Mo Yixi was speechless and pointed directly at the people below: "Look, look at these pig heads, do you think you can make these people realize by sacrificing yourself?
Won't!
Did you forget that when you were slaying demons with me, you met those deluded mortals?
Their neighbors, relatives and friends were killed, but have you ever seen them repent? They will only be glad that it was not them who died! "
Qing'er slowly shook his head: "No, I believe in the king, I believe in worshiping the moon. If my existence hinders them, then after my death, they will definitely inherit my will and make everyone live better. happier."
Mo Yixi:
Little yellow cat:
At this moment, the Wine Sword Cat Fairy suddenly understood what Le Ye said: In troubled times, kill the Holy Mother first. Because their thinking is completely different from ordinary people.
"Shua~"
There was a flash of sword light, and a young man in black clothes and a mask jumped up on the stage.
"Witch Queen, if you don't think about yourself, you should also consider Ling'er! Can you bear to let her have no mother from birth, and then have to bear the tragic fate of the Nuwa family?"
Qing'er took a curious look at him and could immediately detect the strong aura of fate, time and space, and cause and effect in him.
This is a forbidden technique of the Nuwa clan, and it is said that it can travel through time and space.
But everything has a price, and no one dares to think about the consequences of interfering with time and space. Who is this young man? Who cast the forbidden spell on him?
Linger, your own daughter?
suddenly.
"Boom~"
There were fast horses galloping in the distance, and a moment later someone shouted: "800 miles away, there is an urgent report, there are strange beasts in Caohai, causing huge floods, and countless people have been killed and injured!"
Emergency report from eight hundred miles away..."
Hearing this, Qing'er couldn't believe it. He looked at the Moon Worshipers below and asked, "Why? The Moon Worshipers are already the state religion. Aren't the people of Nanzhao Kingdom also your subordinates? Why would you do such a thing? thing?"
This strange beast is naturally a water monster, one of the five ancient five-spirit monsters sealed by Nuwa in the prehistoric era. According to classic records, it is an eight-headed snake with a huge body that lives when it comes into contact with water. In water, it is difficult to kill it no matter what.
And where this beast is, there will be floods.
The water spirit bead passed down from generation to generation by Nuwa's family can be used to strengthen the seal, but since her mother Zixuan took the water spirit bead secretly. She could only use magic power to strengthen the seal every few years, but she didn't expect that she would be released directly by Baiyue.
The key is that I have already chosen to die generously, so why do I still do this during this month of worship?
Baiyue said lightly: "It's her. She released the water spirit beast. She wants the entire Nanzhao Kingdom to be buried with her!"
Hearing this, the people below suddenly became red-eyed, knowing that there were many relatives under the flood.
"Kill!"
Qing'er shook his head, clasped his hands together, and formed a seal. Suddenly, his whole body emitted ten feet of golden light, and even Mo Yixi had to look away.
"Shua~"
When the light disappeared, a beautiful woman with the head of a human and the body of a snake appeared on the spot, holding a heavenly snake staff and wearing a blue Holy Spirit robe, with a divine and peaceful aura surging all over her body.
But the onlookers were all shocked.
"Monster, monster!"
Even King Zhao felt incredible: "Qing'er, you?"
His wife is actually a snake? It turns out that the statue of Nuwa that he has been worshiping is actually real.
Qing'er looked at him quietly: "Your Majesty, sometimes what you see is not true. Keep your eyes open and don't be fooled."
Then he turned to Mo Yixi and said, "Brother Mo, I'll deal with the water monster. You go protect my daughter. It's best to take her to a safe place."
Mo Yixi was shocked: "No, the water monster is an ancient ferocious beast. You just gave birth to Ling'er not long ago, and your magic power has been greatly reduced. That is not something you can deal with."
Moreover, I, the Mountains and Rivers of Shu Mountain, monitor the world, and Brother Sword Saint will come to the rescue soon. "
"No, the mistakes of Nuwa's family can only be borne by Nuwa's descendants." After saying that, a blue light flashed, and the person disappeared, obviously having a lot of trust in Mo Yixi.
"Baiyue, when I come back, you must give me an explanation!"
The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult in the audience was startled.
Explain? He just wanted to know whether the Nuwa family's so-called love for the world was true.
Is she really willing to sacrifice for the one she loves?
And why is the Witch Queen so sure that she can come back? Where does she have the courage and confidence?
The Water Monster is an ancient ferocious beast. Let alone the Witch Queen, even if the immortals come down to earth, they cannot really kill it.
Without the Water Spirit Pearl, the Water Monster would be invincible to humans.
Not a big problem.
