If you start spreading 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.
Their generation has been living on the life of Nanzhao Kingdom. Otherwise, how can we explain that over the years, the Nuwa Temple has often been knocked down, but the descendants of Nuwa 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 to stay young and immortal.
They are all evil!
Rumors stop only among the wise. This saying 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 in the room are mainly golden and red, symbolizing the royal nobility 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.
"Weak minister, 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, bowing respectfully.
How did he get in?
"Master of Worshiping the 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 and put them in front of his heart, and said calmly: "Wei Chen never meant this."
"Then why did you appear in front of me directly without any invitation?" King Zhao asked.
As the leader of a country, although he has never had real power over his family and 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 all 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 me."
This king.
And Qing'er is Gu Zhi's first wife, the witch queen of Nan Zhao Kingdom, and you still want to murder her, you have indeed been disobedient for a long time."
"Oh? Is it true? I don't believe it!" Baiyue said with a smile, with an indifferent expression 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 proud of being 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, does he want 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?"
Baiyue shook his head: "Your Majesty, you don't have to believe me. What you should believe is the holy aunt, Elder Shi and other high-ranking ministers. They now all hold important positions in our Baiyue Sect and even hold great power.
As long as the Witch Queen disappears, the Moon Worship Sect, Nanzhao Kingdom, and everything 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 Worshiping Cult and pray sincerely every day. Secondly, I want to know, what is true love?" Worshiping Moon said calmly.
"What is true love?"
King Zhao was silent.
Does true love really exist? Others don’t know, but for an emperor, there is a high probability that it does not exist.
hehe!
…
one year later.
Meridian Gate.
"Kill the witch queen, slay the monsters. Kill the witch queen, slay the monsters!" Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Meridian Gate, shouting loudly and in anger.
These people include ordinary people, beggars, ordinary people, businessmen, officials, moon worshipers, in short, everyone is a mortal.
King Zhao was sitting on the high platform, looking uncertain.
Without the Witch Queen, he would be the supreme emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom. No one else could hold power more legitimately than him. Moreover, he could 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 he 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 green clothes and 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 person coming, the people in the audience immediately pointed and pointed, some yelled, and some even threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.
I don’t know who it was, but the throw was very accurate, hitting Qing’er’s buttocks every time, causing 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.
Facing his wife's smile, 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: "Master Mo, what are you going to do?"
"Foolish 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 awaken 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 all killed, but do you see any remorse on their part? They are just glad that they were not the ones who died!"
Qing'er slowly shook his head: "No, I believe in the king and 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 already very 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 immediately discovered 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 technique on him?
Ling'er, your own daughter?
suddenly.
"Boom~"
There were fast horses galloping in the distance, and a moment later someone shouted: "Immediate report from eight hundred miles away, 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. It is one of the five ancient five-spirit monsters sealed by Nuwa in the prehistoric era. According to the classics, it is an eight-headed snake with a huge body. It lives when it comes into contact with water. In water, it is difficult to kill it no matter what.
its destruction.
And wherever this beast is, there will be floods.
The water spirit beads passed down by Nuwa's family from generation to generation can be used to strengthen the seal, but since her mother Zixuan secretly took away the water spirit beads, she can only use magic power to strengthen the seal every few years. Unexpectedly, she will be directly worshiped by the moon.
Release it.
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 robe of the Holy Spirit. Her whole body was filled with a sacred and peaceful aura.
But the onlookers were all shocked.
"Monster...monster, monster!"
Even King Zhao felt incredible: "Qing'er, you?"
His wife turned out to be a snake? It turned out that the statue of Nuwa that he had been worshiping turned out to be 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 Shushan Mountains and Rivers Map, monitors the world, and Brother Sword Master will come to rescue you soon."
"No, the mistakes of Nuwa's family can only be borne by Nuwa's descendants." After saying that, a flash of blue light showed that she had disappeared, obviously she had 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 wants to know whether the so-called love of the world by the Nuwa family is 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. Not to mention the Witch Queen, even if the gods come down to earth, they cannot really kill it.
Without the Water Spirit Pearl, the Water Monster would be invincible to humans.
