Prime Minister's Mansion.
In Li Ergou's dormitory.
"Cough cough cough!" Li Ergou was lying on the bed with gray hair, thin face, wrinkles, green face and white lips. He looked like he was about to die soon.
In fact, in the world of Journey to the West, there is abundant spiritual energy, and the lifespan of mortals is generally longer than that of real ancient mortals.
Coupled with the current prosperity of the Divine Tiger Kingdom and the development of medicine, not to mention the life span of mortals living here.
Definitely live longer and better than anywhere else.
But even so, the mortals living here are still inevitable from the cycle of life and death.
It's not that they are controlled by the Book of Life and Death, but that their bodies really can't bear it anymore.
Just before that, there was the existence of the older generation in Lijia Village. During these forty years, their life spans came to an end.
But this time, it was the first time that it was the turn of the most familiar and closest person to Zhao Lei.
If Li Ergou hadn't worked day and night for the Divine Tiger Kingdom, with the current level of development of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, he wouldn't have had such a short life.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Li Ergou finally reached the point where medicine and stone had no effect. Even if he used the technique of wide dissection, or the technique of disemboweling his body and digging out his heart, there was nothing he could do to save him.
At this moment, Li Ergou was lying on the bed.
Sitting at his feet was his wife.
Then in the bedroom, a lot of people who were familiar with Li Ergou came.
Among them are Li Jincheng, Zhao Lei, Bailu, Black Sheep, Chen Jinlan, Hu Dingyong and so on.
All are old acquaintances.
Except for the appearance of the monster, which has not changed much, the others have aged a lot. The youngest Li Ergou is already sixty or seventy years old, let alone them?
Li Ergou opened his eyes in a daze, and slowly raised his weak hand: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Zhao Lei walked over and gently held up his hand, with a heavy heart: "I'm here."
Li Ergou said with an apologetic expression: "Your Majesty, Ergou may not be able to serve you anymore..."
Zhao Lei patted the back of his hand: "You have done a good job, there is no need to worry about it anymore."
Li Ergou suddenly grasped Zhao Lei's big hand like a flashback: "No, Your Majesty. Your favor, our Lijia Village, our car has been delayed in getting up and down, and it will never be finished in our lifetime. Don't be soft-hearted when you go, and give up on your ideals. Those profiteers who are trying to monopolize should be killed if necessary. Don't let them go just because of their past friendship..."
Over the years, Zhao Lei has actually taught various modern management models.
After Li Ergou learned it, he has been following these concepts to manage the Shenhu Kingdom.
Hereditary nobility simply does not exist here.
If it continues to operate according to this management model, the Shenhu Kingdom will definitely become an undefeated dynasty.
Hearing what Li Ergou said, Zhao Lei felt endless emotions in his heart.
The prosperity and decline of the Divine Tiger Kingdom is not important to him. What he values is the attribute points. Is it important whether hereditary or not, what conspiracies and tricks are important?
If something really goes wrong, just slap him down and that'll be the end of it, right?
Therefore, it can be said that Li Ergou and his group are more concerned about the development of the Shenhu Kingdom than Zhao Lei.
They unswervingly implemented the various concepts taught by Zhao Lei, which is why the Shenhu Kingdom has developed and prospered today.
Seeing that Li Ergou was almost dead and working so hard, Zhao Lei nodded helplessly and agreed to his request.
Li Ergou then smiled.
Immediately, he looked at the white deer and black sheep again.
"The second king...the three kings..."
Zhao Lei moved to the side, and White Deer and Black Sheep came forward.
Facing White Deer and Black Sheep, Li Ergou said nothing, but through each other's eyes, the two sides seemed to have exchanged a lot of information.
Li Ergou seemed to be telling Bailu and Black Sheep through his eyes: The second king, the third king, Ergou's original promise has been fulfilled, and now we can only rely on you to help the king continue...
White Deer and Black Sheep looked at the ruthless emperor in front of them, and their hearts were filled with endless emotions.
For the great cause of the eldest brother, in the entire Shenhu Kingdom, only a mortal like Li Ergou could sacrifice so much for his eldest brother.
The two demons also said nothing, but their eyes gave Li Ergou, the ruthless emperor, approval.
Nodding to him: Don't worry, brother, we will stick to your ideal, you don't have to worry.
Immediately, Li Ergou looked at Li Jincheng, Chen Jinlan, Hu Dingyong and others behind him.
The white deer and black sheep moved away.
Allowing their vision to see each other.
To these peers, Li Ergou is no longer as polite as before: "Comrades, please allow me to rest and take the first step. From now on, the Divine Tiger Kingdom will rely on you..."
Several people bowed their heads to Li Ergou and said, "We will live up to the Prime Minister's trust."
After hearing these words, Li Ergou seemed to have exhausted his last strength and stopped breathing with a smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the lady sitting at his feet cried so heartbrokenly: "Master! Master! Why are you willing to abandon me like this~~"
Everyone comforted him a little bit.
Then he followed Zhao Lei out of the bedroom.
Along the way, Zhao Lei's face looked extremely heavy.
He walked with his hands behind his back and his steps were very fast.
After a moment, Zhao Lei stopped and turned to Li Jincheng, who was behind him, and said, "Scholar, Ergou's funeral will be as grand as I want it to be. Do you understand?"
Li Jincheng bowed his head and cupped his hands: "I obey the order."
Immediately, Zhao Lei said to Chen Jinlan again: "Master Chen, let the brothers have a holiday. Those who are coming, let everyone see Ergou one last time."
Since that battle forty years ago, Zhao Lei has deeply understood the importance of martial arts.
He ordered Chen Jinlan, the most powerful martial artist, to teach him mortal martial arts.
Now forty years have passed, and in terms of martial arts, he has long been superior to others.
If they have the same strength and speed, Zhao Lei is confident in martial arts, even if he cannot win completely, he will not lose to anyone.
Even Erlangshen is like this.
Therefore, he changed his name to Chen Jinlan as Master Chen.
"I obey the order. Cough cough cough cough!" As soon as Chen Jinlan accepted the order, he suddenly coughed violently. He coughed until he knelt down on one knee. He even coughed up blood at the end.
"General Chen! General Chen!"
"General Chen!"
Li Jincheng and Hu Dingyong both stepped forward to help him.
Zhao Lei also turned around to check.
Before anyone could react, Chen Jinlan passed out.
"The Royal Physician! Call the Royal Physician quickly!"
Zhao Lei looked at Chen Jinlan who was unconscious in Hu Dingyong's arms, his expression changed and he was extremely ugly. Li Ergou had just left. Did something happen to Master Chen again?
"How is this going?"
Although Hu Dingyong was worried about Chen Jinlan's situation, he did not dare to neglect Zhao Lei.
"I'm telling you, Brother Chen, he has been suffering from hidden diseases since he practiced kung fu in his early years. Coupled with the years of fighting..." At this point, it goes without saying that I have basically understood it.
People who practice martial arts and fight have more or less hidden diseases.
What's more, a master like Chen Jinlan?
He must have fought more than the average person, otherwise it would be impossible to have such achievements in martial arts just by talking about it on paper.
In addition, he was already older than every human or demon present.
They are all eighty or ninety years old.
It’s not easy to survive until now.
After understanding the situation clearly, Zhao Lei's face became darker than the blame.
Ever since the day he traveled through time and became a demon, he never thought about the day when his lifespan would be exhausted. After all, there is systematic assistance, and the lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of mortals.
How could he care about this?
But now that people around him were leaving him one after another, he couldn't help but start to pay attention to this issue.
After the imperial doctor arrived and took a look at Chen Jinlan's condition.
Zhao Lei ordered Chen Jinlan to stop working, and then returned to the palace with a heavy heart.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Lei said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Fan, can you come out and see me?"
The huge palace was quiet for a while.
Not long after, there was a sigh that echoed in the palace.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Wujiu was seen emerging from the ground.
Without Zhao Lei's explanation, Fan Wujiu knew what Zhao Lei wanted to do, so he took the initiative to dissuade him: "Tiger King, no matter what your thoughts are, if you continue to interfere with the order of the underworld, it will come back to bite you sooner or later. Wujiu hopes that you will consider it carefully. Make a decision again..."
The reason why Fan Wujiu said this was not without purpose.
In fact, as early as forty years ago, Zhao Lei, the king of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, had already disrupted the order of the underworld.
In order to help Zhao Lei, Fan Wujiu began to spread Zhao Lei's philosophy of "doing one good deed a day" to ghosts in the area he managed. They also claim that as long as they do more good deeds in the mortal world, they can win rewards for going back to see their families.
Not only that, the entire Shenhu Kingdom is also spreading this message.
If you do good deeds during your lifetime, you will be treated kindly after your death.
At this point, the entire mortal world and some areas of the underworld were in chaos.
From time to time, you will see some wandering ghosts doing good deeds in the area of Shenhu Kingdom.
At first, everyone will be shocked by this amazing scene, but when they get used to this kind of thing, everyone becomes more active in doing good deeds.
Especially the rich are more charitable.
As the saying goes, the saddest thing in life is that people die without spending all their money.
This sentence simply hit the pain point of that group of rich people.
But since having this relationship with the underworld.
Knowing clearly that as long as he does enough good deeds during his lifetime, he will be treated kindly after his death, which rich man who is dying will not make preparations for his death?
Any unscrupulous descendant who dares to do anything will be dismissed with a slap.
This kind of behavior has increased Zhao Lei's attribute points a lot every month.
Moreover, the most outrageous thing is the day when the ghost gate opens on July 14th.
It's like humans, ghosts, and monsters gathered in the Kingdom of the Divine Tiger.
But everyone got along well.
Humans and demons drink and eat meat.
Ghosts and ghosts eat their own incense candles.
On this day, everyone had a very happy time with their old acquaintances who had passed away in the past and had not yet been reincarnated. This has formed a major festival in Shenhu Kingdom.
Many outsiders will come to the Divine Tiger Country on this day to join in the fun and see if they have a chance to meet their relatives and friends.
These changes also brought a large number of attribute points to Zhao Lei.
However, because of this, Fan Wujiu has been under great pressure over the years.
Bai Wuchang, Niu Tou MaMian, these colleagues at the same level were all visited by him. Judge Hell, he also tried his best to conceal the facts.
If nothing had happened for so many years, he would have been unable to bear it long ago.
So now that he had learned about Li Ergou's death, and that Zhao Lei had summoned him at this time, he knew that Zhao Lei, a restless guy, must have had some bad ideas again.
As soon as he comes up, he will directly dissuade him.
Because this time, he definitely couldn't hold it back.
But it was obvious that Zhao Lei didn't listen to his words and concerns.
I saw Zhao Lei saying very domineeringly: "I have practiced so far just for happiness and freedom. Even if I practice to the best in the Three Realms, what's the point of people around me leaving me one after another? Fan Daoyou, your I am very clear about my scruples. But you don’t need to worry about me. All consequences will naturally be borne by me. Anyone who is dissatisfied can just come against me."
Fan Wujiu stared at Zhao Lei for a long time.
Seeing that Zhao Lei had made up his mind, Fan Wujiu stopped trying to persuade him.
He sighed and said, "Hey, Tiger King, what do you plan to ask the little god to do this time?"
"Fan Daoyou, I don't want to embarrass you. I just hope that when the people around me fall to the underworld and walk through the Naihe Bridge, you can help them avoid drinking Meng Po soup. Also, reincarnation It is best to choose to stay in the Divine Tiger Kingdom."
Fan Wujiu was shocked!
He didn't expect that Zhao Lei would have such outrageous ideas!
If everyone behaves like this in the future, wouldn’t the Divine Tiger Kingdom be in chaos?
When ordinary people give birth to Li Ergou, should they call him prime minister or child?
How to deal with seniority?
How to deal with relationships?
Also, as time goes by, won’t the Shenhu Kingdom have the same group of people in the future? You know, this is the scariest question, because people's hearts can change!
In just a moment, Fan Wujiu thought of the countless disasters caused by Zhao Lei's coquettish idea.
So he quickly bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Absolutely not, Tiger King! If you insist on doing this, there will definitely be endless troubles in the future! Moreover, this will definitely alarm the judge and the King of Hell. By then, the news will definitely reach the heaven. . No matter how powerful the little god is, he can't cover up this matter!"
But even Fan Wujiu persuaded him like this.
Zhao Lei's attitude is still very decisive.
His idea is simple.
Now that we have traveled to the world of Journey to the West.
There is a system.
If he still can't do things as he pleases, then his strength has really been developed like a dog's. Why do you need to be so powerful? As a vase?
"Fellow Daoist Fan, if there is accountability in the underworld, you can just put all the blame on me. Just say that I forced you to do this. Oh, I want to see who else dares to find me in the underworld today. trouble!
As for heaven...
Fellow Taoists don’t have to worry.
I will deal with it on my own in heaven. "
Fan Wujiu wanted to say something else.
But Zhao Lei gave him a sharp look to express his determination.
He also stopped trying to dissuade me.
I had no choice but to agree to Zhao Lei's instructions...
