Chapter Thirty-Three.
"Okay!" Lu Zhi interrupted him impatiently.
"I'm afraid you don't even believe these words yourself... unrealistic idealism will only be the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water."
“Indulging yourself blindly in an impossible ideal will eventually lead to death together with that unrealistic ideal!”
"If you pretend to be asleep and don't want to face reality for a long time, you will never wake up again!"
"Why do you think Pindao pushed for the destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty? As early as that year, Pindao had already traveled through this world. Pindao had also been to the Imperial Palace in the capital, but unfortunately, Pindao
What Dao saw and heard only made Pindao disappointed again and again."
"The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty who was praised by you for being a civilized and virtuous man was actually just a foolish and ignorant emperor! The civil and military officials above the court were so corrupt that not even a single good person could be found... In addition to extortionate taxation, the local government
Without doing anything else, even the army has almost degenerated into banditry..."
"There is an imbalance of wealth in the world, land annexation, and the common people cannot even get a penny of their own. On the contrary, three generations of people have worked hard all their lives and still cannot pay back the taxes owed to the court and the interest on usury owed to the local tyrants and evil gentry!"
"In all the land that the common people walk on, even in the barren mountains and ridges, there is not an inch of land that belongs to them!"
"Even if a person dies! If he wants to be buried in peace, he has to sell himself as a slave to the officials and local tycoon families in order to exchange for a palm-sized piece of barren land on the barren hills of [District 8].
Let the dead relatives rest in peace..."
When he said this, Lu Zhi looked up at Fu Tianchou and asked word for word: "Now, tell me, can this great Zhou Dynasty be saved? How? Can you change all this?
?”
"Stop talking to Pindao about unrealistic ideals and plans, and don't make plans for Pindao that last ten or eight years. All the people in the world can't wait even a day!"
"You asked them to wait for you for ten or eight years, and it was a false goal that was destined to be unfulfilled...Who do you think you are?"
Fu Tianchou was stunned. He looked at Lu Zhi with dull eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
He couldn't refute, and he didn't have the shame to refute these. Lu Zhi's words were like tearing open the last fig leaf outside the rotten inner world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, completely exposing those ugliness.
Under the clear sky and in broad daylight, how could he refute?
He lowered his head and said as if dreaming, "Yes, how can such a great Zhou Dynasty be saved?"
He turned around and walked towards the mountain forest in despair. He didn't know if he was stunned. His face was crying and laughing at the same time, as if he had been struck crazy.
"Father!"
The two daughters of the Fu family chased after him worriedly.
Zhiqiu Yiye glanced over there, then turned around and whispered to Lu Zhi: "Senior, this... Master Fu won't be called crazy by you, right?"
Lu Zhi said: "No, Pindao just broke the false hope he had deceived himself over the years, making him unable to accept it for a while."
He was not prepared to step forward to give Fu Tianchou any solution. Only by letting him face the bloody reality, and then figuring it out on his own, could he finally wake up and want to save these thousands of people.
The Zhongda Zhou Dynasty simply drank poison to quench thirst.
Ning Caichen, who was on the other side, also looked thoughtful: "Master Lu, I'm really sorry. I took it for granted earlier and made unreasonable remarks that offended the master. Please forgive me."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Ning Caichen would actually say these words.
"It doesn't matter."
Ning Caichen said again: "By the way, Taoist Priest, do you have any plans for the future?"
"After all, if the great Zhou Dynasty were to fall, the already almost non-existent order in the world would collapse in an instant. By then, the world would be in chaos and the current situation would be turbulent. I'm afraid the sufferings suffered by the people of the world would still be huge.
Even more so."
"The Taoist Master must be able to think of this, and he should already have a countermeasure... Ning Caichen boldly recommends himself, hoping that he can be of some help, and also asks the Taoist Master to point out a clear path for me."
"If I can contribute even a small amount to the common people in this world, Ning Caichen will never begrudge this seven-foot body!"
Lu Zhi took a deep look at Ning Caichen. This boy was really a bit of a scholar. No wonder Fellow Taoist Yan valued him so much and was willing to recognize him as a friend.
Previously, when Lu Zhi saw that Ning Caichen's son and daughter were in love and entangled with the female ghost, and refused to listen to comfort, he could not help but feel prejudiced against him. Now that he thinks about it, he is a bit biased.
At least, this Ning Caichen can definitely be considered a good person, and he lives up to that manly status.
"If you want to do something for the people in the troubled times in the future, then go back with Pindao. Pindao will introduce you to General Kong's staff."
Ning Caichen nodded, then without saying anything else, he raised his hands and hugged Lu Zhi, then retreated.
............
On the other side, the capital, Daxiangguo Temple.
In the night, a black shadow suddenly crossed the night sky and fell into the square of Daxiangguo Temple.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and a huge black and red centipede was seen slamming down on the square. The black and smelly centipede blood suddenly dyed a large area of the square red.
After looking carefully, I discovered that only half of the body of the big centipede was left. The entire lower body was cut off. The wound was covered with black burn marks. The huge shock when it landed on the ground tore and collapsed the already damaged body.
The closed wounds were charred and black, and blood was gurgling out.
"Someone is coming!"
Cihang Pudu's sharp and piercing roar immediately spread throughout the Daxiangguo Temple.
Not long after, a dozen centipede demon soldiers dressed as monks and nuns came looking for the sound.
"Go! Let me, Abbot, capture all the remaining ministers!" Cihang Pudu ordered sternly.
At the end, he seemed to remember something again and said: "Wait a minute, there are also orders from the palace, and let the young men arrest all the concubines, princes, Princess Diji and so on, and guard the emperor's palace.
,Don’t let him see anyone!”
After giving the order to his centipede monster soldiers to take action, Cihang Pudu quickly controlled his body and raced against time to heal his injuries.
This time, he was seriously injured and almost died on the spot at the hands of Taoist Lu Zhi. Even if he escaped with his life, he was already injured at the moment and was almost dying!
If he couldn't heal his injuries as soon as possible, he might not be able to hold on for much longer, let alone transform into a dragon, and he would succumb to his injuries and die.
At this moment, he had nothing to worry about, so he could only speed up his plan in advance. He would first use the flesh and blood of the civil and military officials of the dynasty to repair his body and treat his injuries, and then take a forceful blow and transform into a dragon in advance.
Although if you do this, the chance of successfully transforming into a dragon is undoubtedly very slim, but if you don't work hard, if Taoist Lu Zhi chases him to the capital again, he will really die without a burial place!
So that's all he can do.
And the reason why he did not flee directly into the deep mountains and old forests, but fled back to the Daxiangguo Temple, was because if Lu Zhi really wanted to kill him, it would be useless for him to escape anywhere.
So it is better to escape back to the capital and threaten Lu Zhi with the lives of the Zhou emperor and the people in the city, so that he can have a chance to breathe and fight for his meager fortune.
Dragon probability.
As early as many years ago, he had begun to lay out his plans in the capital. Not only did he secretly control the palace and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he secretly killed many officials and replaced them with centipede demon soldiers, and even the common people in the capital.
They were also secretly manipulated by him.
The world doesn't know that he is a thousand-year-old centipede spirit. They only think that he is really some kind of living Buddha, a great and eminent monk.
Therefore, on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Cihang Pudu would report a Buddhist meeting in the Daxiangguo Temple, and distribute some food, fruits and vegetables to the people, so as to form a "good relationship" with the people.
But secretly, he had no good intentions at all. He did this firstly to deceive the world and steal his reputation, and secondly to secretly poison the people of the capital!
The grains, fruits and vegetables sent out from his hands are mixed with centipede monster eggs! As long as you form a bond with Cihang Pudu and eat the grains, fruits and vegetables that he has "consecrated and blessed", you will definitely be full of centipedes.
Monster eggs!
So as long as Cihang Pudu is willing, with just one thought, the centipede demon eggs in the stomachs of the people in the city will instantly change and hatch. It is self-evident what kind of shocking and terrifying accident will happen by then!
