Chapter 1180, The Truth (Ask Heaven, Whats Wrong?)
The first floor of the inn is a dining area. Not only are the chairs full of people, but the aisles are also full of people.
But if you take a closer look, this scene does not look lively at all, but is very scary; because all the people's faces are numb, and they are all talking and talking.
Say hello, but everyone has a mask on their face with no expression at all, and their voices are all in the same tune.
Hu Sandao also discovered this, and he, who was already timid, followed even closer, and Qi Bao'er could hear the sound of his teeth chattering, which seemed to be unbearable.
"..."
A person floated across the lobby and walked up the side stairs.
Walking up the stairs was intimidating. People were lined up on both sides of the stairs, leaving only a passage in the middle that could only accommodate one person.
The people on both sides of the stairs were the same as those in the lobby downstairs, the same dull and mechanical, but because they were so close, right beside me, there was always a feeling that they would reach out and scratch their paws at any time.
Hu Sandao almost shrank himself into a ball. Where the hell is this place? It scares even ghosts. It's such a weird thing.
Finally, we reached the second floor. Fortunately, there were no more people standing around chatting in the corridor on the second floor. They said in dull voices, "Yunfu Inn is the best inn in the world."
Qi Baoer's footsteps did not stop on the second floor and continued to go up.
No one was standing and chatting on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor either. On the contrary, there was a completely opposite scene from the second floor to the first floor;
The first floor is noisy, obviously lively and prosperous, and a grand scene;
The second floor was quiet, deathly quiet, with no sound except for the sole and inaudible sound of Qi Bao'er's footsteps as he walked.
Hu Sandao: It’s even more scary.
When a person floated to the middle of the stairs, a red figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the third floor stairs. She was a young and beautiful woman with a pale face. She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and a headdress that showed her identity beyond gold and jade.
Extraordinary.
"Where do these distinguished guests come from?"
Hu Sandao is so obsessed with the color that he has already thought of his child’s name: “0-0!!”
Oh, why are you a man?
It wants to cry.
Speaking of which, it is a mighty ghost king, but it has never figured out how it managed to confuse itself into a single ghost.
After Qi Baoer looked at him intently for a few seconds, his eyes showed pity, and his pink lips parted slightly: "The Prince Renyin who once pitied all the people in the world, never imagined that he would be hiding here to feel sorry for himself."
As soon as the words "Prince Renyin" came out, Hu Sandao was so shocked that his eyes fell out of their frames.
Crown Prince Renyin, a tragic hero in the last years of the previous dynasty, is still praised and admired by all people, and countless people have erected monuments and temples for him.
For such a character, his death was extremely tragic, extremely sad and worthless.
At the end of the previous dynasty, the emperor and the court were in a state of decay that could not be described in words. The emperor's dragon veins were damaged, and natural disasters continued. But under such circumstances, the emperor and the officials of the court completely ignored the lives of the people.
At this time, Crown Prince In-yin, who was only twelve years old, stood up. He prayed for the people and gave alms to save the people. In the land of his father, King Mindeok, Crown Prince In-yin was always present wherever there was a disaster.
Prince Renyin’s meals were only served at most two bowls on each dining table. There are records in unofficial history that during the Chinese New Year, there was an extra bowl of fried meatballs on the table. When Prince Renyin saw it, he was furious and ordered all those who made the decision without permission.
After scolding, he ordered the bowl of fried meatballs to be taken out and distributed to the homeless refugees on the street.
Crown Prince Renyin’s clothes were even patched. This is true. After Crown Prince Renyin’s death, Emperor Qiming built a mausoleum for him. Because Crown Prince Renyin died so tragically that no bones were left, so he could only use the clothes he wore during his lifetime.
After putting these in, the people who went to sort them out discovered that Prince Renyin didn't even have any unpatched clothes.
Originally, Crown Prince Renyin was loved by all the people and was the source of all misfortunes, because Crown Prince Renyin did not like women, but liked men.
I don’t know when, or who, spread the word about Prince Renyin’s preference, and there is evidence that Prince Renyin was a couple with a relatively famous scholar at the time.
The scholar has no name left, and it seems that even mentioning him is considered shameful. The records only mention that he was famous among the literary giants in the fiefdom of King Minde at that time, and that his death occurred after the death of Crown Prince Renyin.
Then he jumped off a cliff and died.
After this incident was spread, Crown Prince Renyin's reputation plummeted. The people no longer loved him, they only thought he was hypocritical and shameful. However, Prince Renyin didn't care, he still did what he should do, and he still protected the people.
If the emperor is confused and the court is corrupt, the people will rebel.
This is the inevitable outcome, and Prince Renyin can't change anything.
Rebels rose up in various places, including in the fiefdom of Crown Prince Renyin.
One of them was led by bandits. Crown Prince Renyin once encircled and suppressed this bandit. At that time, several leaders got the news in advance and fled, leaving behind such a disaster.
Those people hated Crown Prince Renyin so much that they forced Crown Prince Renyin to show up at the expense of the lives of the people after they invaded the city.
He moved Crown Prince Renyin to a wooden frame and told the people that if everyone had a sword, the sword would either hit Crown Prince Renyin or himself.
The death of Crown Prince Renyin was due to the absence of his body, and the choice of those people...
Hu Sandao had tears in his eyes when he thought about this. He thought: How deep in Prince Renyin's heart must have been when he was moved on a wooden frame and torn to pieces by the people he had been reluctant to eat and protect.
pain?!
The man in red smiled lightly, his peerless face was so beautiful that it almost made Hu Sandao unable to find him.
"The distinguished guest is dumbfounded. The only innkeeper here is the innkeeper. Where can the Crown Prince Renyin come from?"
This means that he doesn't even want to admit his identity during his lifetime.
Qi Bao'er also laughed and said, "It's no coincidence that I recognized you as Crown Prince Renyin. Although Sishui City was not your fiefdom during your lifetime, there are many temples for Crown Prince Renyin in Surabaya City. Emperor Qiming made a special trip to recognize you.
Your people made paintings for you and passed them down to the world. Those paintings were placed in the Hall of Merit in the palace, and I was fortunate enough to see them."
Crown Prince Renyin's expression of indifference gradually stiffened as Qi Baoer's plain statement came to an end. Qi Baoer fell behind in his words, and he remained silent for a long time.
But the yin energy that kept surging around him as he remained silent showed how uneasy he felt at the moment.
As soon as the Yin Qi came out, Hu Sandao immediately sensed how strong the opponent was, and his level was well above it, probably close to the Ghost Emperor level.
But for some reason, Hu Sandao didn't feel scared at the moment. Instead, he felt like something was stuck in his heart, and his eyes felt sore and wanted to cry.
After a long time, Crown Prince Renyin suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.
But no one present felt a trace of joy, but sadness.
Qi Baoer seemed to feel as if he was asking the heaven for his sorrow.
Ask Heaven, he has loved his people all his life, what is wrong with him?
