Hong Tianyou was so excited that he simply lifted up his trouser legs. Sure enough, as he said, his calves were covered with snake scales, and they tended to spread upwards...
If things continue to develop, it will be a matter of time before Hong Tianyou turns into a monster. Hong Tianyou smiled bitterly and said: "I was very afraid of that day coming, but in the end I survived and got the so-called longevity. I am very scared myself."
, but my people don’t think so, they think this is the manifestation of Heavenly Father, and if the jade seal of the Kingdom of Heaven is recovered, the Kingdom of Heaven can be rebuilt, at least that’s what they think.”
"So you have been looking for the jade seal of the Kingdom of Heaven? From generation to generation, you have never given up." Bai Yi said: "Although the Kingdom of Heaven has been destroyed and the King of Heaven is dead, you have become everyone's new hope. If you don't die, the Kingdom of Heaven will last forever, but you
Why did you agree to sell that painting? This was left to you by the fourth girl. She witnessed the disappearance of the jade seal and saw Hong Xuanjiao. She may have conveyed a message to you in this painting, but you decided to take it.
Painting, can I interpret it as saying that you don’t want to find any jade seal?"
Bai Yi's statement was very bold. Tang Sancheng and Qixie looked at each other in disbelief. Bai Yi always said something shocking. Hong Tianyou seemed to have lost the strength to support his body. He sat down on his chest.
on the bed, and then let out a long sigh: "I am tired, really tired, and since I found snake scales on my body, I have been living in fear every moment. I have reached the critical point, and I have
I don’t know how long I can sustain it, but this time the economy is tight, so I thought of selling this painting.”
"So what are your current plans?" Bai Yi thought of some clues, but he still needed Hong Tianyou's final verification.
"The fact that you are able to come here shows that you are not ordinary people. I want to ask you to find the jade seal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Hong Tianyou said: "I am willing to pay the price. When I left the city, I took away a batch of treasures. Although there is not much left.
There are many, but every piece is priceless.”
"What happens after you find the jade seal?" Cong Yang said excitedly: "What age are we in now? Do you think you can restore the kingdom of heaven just by yourself?"
"No, I have never thought about it this way, and my people may not have this idea either. It's just that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Heaven is our spiritual support. Finding it may give us the confidence to face our future life." Hong Tianyou said:
"This kind of spiritual power is beyond your imagination. This way, I can feel at ease."
Tang Sancheng was shocked: "What do you want to do?"
"I can't turn into a monster, I won't be able to survive. What's more, after I turn into a monster, I may hurt my people." Hong Tianyou looked at Tang Sancheng: "Maybe it's because I took the inner elixir.
, so I can feel the cultivation in you, are you a person with cultivation, right? A member of the Taoist sect?"
Tang Sancheng nodded and continued to ask: "What do you want me to do?"
"Force me to find the inner elixir, the inner elixir of that monster." Hong Tianyou's tone was very serious.
However, Tang Sancheng's expression immediately changed, and he said seriously: "You were originally an ordinary person, and you became what you are now after absorbing the inner elixir. You must know that the consequence of forcing out the inner elixir is that you may immediately become ashes."
The smoke disappears and ceases to exist. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"This is the result I want." Hong Tianyou's answer shocked everyone. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the boss came back again. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a plop: "Heavenly King, you
You must not do this!”
"Are you eavesdropping outside the door?" Hong Tianyou was a little annoyed.
"The King of Heaven behaved abnormally today. I'm really worried." The boss's head almost dropped to the ground: "We have lived here in seclusion over the years. We know clearly that the times outside have changed, but we refuse to leave here. In addition to not wanting to be watched by the world, we still have a lot of problems in our hearts.
Keep your attachment to the Kingdom of Heaven. If we are together, the Kingdom of Heaven will last forever. As long as you are here, the King of Heaven, the Kingdom of Heaven will last forever. You are the only descendant who has the blood of the old King of Heaven!"
Hong Tianyou closed his eyes, and Bai Yi somewhat understood his mood. He was highly expected by everyone. This feeling was good at first, but over the years, it also made Hong Tianyou exhausted. He was everyone's spiritual support, and so was the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Heaven.
As for spiritual sustenance, Hong Tianyou's idea also makes sense. If he finds spiritual sustenance for everyone, he can leave with peace of mind.
"I have made up my mind. From now on, you will take care of everything here." Hong Tianyou said, "Do you want to see me turn into a monster?"
"I..." The boss was speechless for a moment, his eyes were already red. He shook his head helplessly: "In that case, King of Heaven, you can decide everything."
He staggered out and Xiaoshan hurriedly closed the door. Xiaoshan seemed to understand their thoughts very well. They had been instilled with the spirit of the Kingdom of Heaven since childhood and regarded Hong Tianyou as spiritual power. If he disappeared, their hearts would collapse.
Right? Just like me, if Brother Sancheng suddenly disappears one day, what will I do?
Hong Tianyou walked up to Tang Sancheng: "Please, you must help me."
Tang Sancheng turned to look at Bai Yi, who nodded: "The deal is done, we will help you find the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Heaven. There must be a hidden secret behind its disappearance back then. I believe that the fourth girl is an important person. After we find the Jade Seal,
We will fulfill your wish and relieve you. Of course, if we don't find it, you may have to support it for a while longer."
"Okay, I'll take you to see our treasures, it's up to you to choose." Hong Tianyou was ecstatic.
"No, we don't need those." Bai Yi said: "We are helping you not because we covet your treasures, but because we also have our own purposes, but don't worry, they do not conflict."
What exactly did Third Uncle want to investigate? This is still unclear, and they have not completed the task assigned by the organization. It is really a fatal task, and ambiguity is really necessary.
Hong Tianyou nodded: "In that case, if you still want to know anything, just ask, and I will try to provide as many clues as possible."
"The fourth girl you call refers to Han Baoying, right?" Bai Yi said.
"It seems that you are familiar with that period of history." Hong Tianyou said.
Bai Yi smiled and said nothing, Han Baoying was no less legendary in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom than the charming female general Hong Xuan, and speaking of it, it was a coincidence that Han Baoying became associated with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because at the beginning, she was not from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and her origin
not bad.
Han Baoying was born in the 24th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. She lived in Guiyang, Hunan Province. Her father, Han Baozhong, was an old scholar who made a living by teaching. Han Baoying was the only daughter in the family. She was regarded as the apple of her eye by her parents. When she was still learning English, her father
He held her on his knees and taught her to recite Tang poems word for word. Xiao Baoying was able to imitate it very accurately. By the age of three or four, she could recite hundreds of Tang poems fluently and make simple analysis.
People call her a child goddess.
In the ninth year of Xianfeng's reign, the war between the Taiping Army and the Qing Army spread to Han Baoying's hometown. Han Baozhong took his family to the mountains to take refuge. Unexpectedly, the mountains were not peaceful either. Not long after they entered the mountains, they encountered a group of local bandits who were searching the mountains and robbing them.
During the fight, Han Baozhong and his wife were killed by bandits. Fortunately, Han Baoying escaped the disaster by hiding in the dense grass. Seeing the tragic death of her parents, Han Baoying fainted from pain. When she woke up slowly, dusk
The mountains and fields were shrouded in silence, with only the pungent smell of blood wafting in the air. Han Baoying's mind was almost blank. She fell down in the grass and looked around blankly. Suddenly, she found something on the mountain path not far away.
A large and orderly army came over, and I suddenly thought that it was an army marching into the mountains to suppress bandits, so they crawled and rolled to the side of the road, knelt on the ground and cried out loudly for injustice.
The person Han Baoying met was Yi Wang Shi Dakai. At that time, Shi Dakai was in trouble. Under the plan of Hong Xuanjiao and others, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan urgently summoned the North King Wei Changhui and Yi Wang Shi Dakai, who were leading troops to fight outside, to come to Beijing and work together to eliminate the Dong King.
Yang Xiuqing. At that time, Shi Dakai was busy with the war and couldn't be separated. However, Wei Changhui was summoned to Beijing and planned to kill the Dongwang and wipe out all the troops of Dongyu Mansion in one fell swoop. After hearing the news, Shi Dakai believed that this move had greatly damaged the vitality of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
, so he rushed to Nanjing and vigorously accused Wei Changhui. Wei Changhui was furious at this time. Instead of listening to Shi Dakai's advice, he had the intention to kill Shi Dakai. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked in advance, and Shi Dakai escaped late at night, but Wei Changhui did nothing.
Without stopping, he actually killed the entire family that Shi Dakai had left behind in Nanjing.
Shi Dakai cried and swore an oath outside, preparing to return to Nanjing for revenge. However, Hong Xiuquan had already noticed Wei Changhui's sinister intentions, designed to trap him and kill him, and urged Shi Dakai to return to Beijing to preside over military affairs. This happened in the winter of the sixth year of Xianfeng.
Shi Zaikai stayed in Nanjing for more than half a year. Seeing that the situation was difficult to control, he decided to leave the capital to create a new situation so that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could have a way out. He left Nanjing in May of the seventh year of Xianfeng and led his army from Anhui into Jiangxi.
, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and conquered a large territory; due to the gradual encirclement of the Hunan army commanded by Zeng Guofan, he had to abandon that fertile area and send his army into Hunan, where the Qing army was weak.
On the way into Guiyang, Hunan, Shi Dakai met Han Baoying, who was kneeling by the mountain road and shouting injustice. His voice was so sad and sad that Shi Dakai was deeply moved. He ordered his men to bring the woman by the roadside to the horse. Shi Dakai took a closer look.
, it was his second daughter who had been killed. He couldn't help but swayed on the horse, finally calmed down, and asked the woman carefully about her grievances. When Han Baoying saw the gentle and approachable words of the general on the horse, his heart became hot, and he told his parents in tears.
He recounted with all his strength what had happened to him, and fell to the ground begging the general to avenge him.
