After Tang Chen got up, he said: "Then tell me now. At least I want to see what kind of person I am helping, and let me know if I will die in the hands of this person in the future."
.”
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Do you think of me that way? Then today I will let you know what it means to have no choice but to do something without one's own control."
"Say it."
"Back then, it was the heyday of the spirit masters. All the spirit masters wanted to compete for an orthodox title, so everyone was looking for children who were born with spiritual powers. Once they found those children, they would be quite powerful.
So finding a target that can be cultivated, these children can be helped to get whatever they want."
"Then what?"
The emperor said: "If these children are disobedient or they cannot achieve the effect that the spirit master wants in the later period, these children will be killed, their arms and legs will be cut, and they will be put into jars to transform.
Become a Gu. Let me ask you, if it were you, do you want to die directly or would you like to be turned into a Gu by a spirit controller!"
"So you want to tell me that you are helping those people escape?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "No, I am the same person as them. I have had spiritual power in my body since I was born. Because I have a lot of spiritual power, many monsters and evil spirits want to cause trouble for me. Fortunately, I was born
There are many spirit masters in the royal family to protect me, so that those things will not hurt me at all, but the children outside are different, they have no one to protect them. They face those evil spirits every day
Due to the interference, one day the Spirit Controller internally found a way to use these soul children to practice, and they began to constantly look for such children. I also received an order from my father. He asked me and the prince to find 10 children each.
A soul boy will complete the task, and the person who completes the task will receive a white jade belt, which is the most precious thing and the most representative thing of our royal family!"
"For that thing? That's why you go killing?"
"The prince and I didn't want to go at that time, because the education we both received since childhood was that it would hurt others, so we both knew we couldn't do that. But the emperor's order was strong, and we had to do it. Father liked to see us two
We are fighting for the throne, and he also likes to see us become like that, that way is the strongest in his heart."
Tang Chen chuckled and said, "What kind of thinking is this? Killing people and doing bad things means they are strong?"
"After all, this is an era of survivors of spirit masters. At that time, if you were not strong enough, you might be eliminated by other spirit masters or even killed." The emperor continued to walk forward and said: "If you were not born in that
You won’t understand the era, so I don’t ask anyone to understand me. Anyway, what I do is definitely not wrong.”
"It's not wrong? You killed so many people and you say it's not wrong?"
The emperor's eyes looked different from those of ordinary people as he said, "How many people were killed?"
"I don't know, shouldn't I ask you this?"
The emperor smiled and said: "I ask you what would you choose if someone else threatened your life? Kill him or let others kill you?"
"Of course I would choose to kill him."
"I thought so too."
"But you killed children. You can't tell me that those children are also a threat to you."
The emperor nodded and said: "Yes, there are threats. All the spirit masters in this world are a threat to me, so the first thing I do after taking power is to kill all the spirit masters in the world. Only
Only in this way can people live a good life."
"So you still haven't said why you killed those children."
The emperor looked at Tang Chen and said, "I have already said that I will kill all the spirit masters. Those children are also spirit masters, so they should die."
"But those children..."
"Tang Chen, you will gradually know about this in the future. As long as you are here, you will hear all kinds of things. They will turn their emperor into a heinous monster. But at least you should believe that there are some things that I have never heard.
I have never done anything. Everything I do is beneficial to the people."
Tang Chen originally did not intend to continue questioning, but at this time the emperor said: "Actually, if those children had not killed them in the end, they would have died even worse. I gave them a relief."
"How to say?"
The emperor said: "If these children who were born with spiritual power were caught by other spiritual masters at that time, they would be filled with mercury and then made into complete slaves, slaves with life, those evil
The spirit master will make them suffer forever, and then use their spirits and lives to let them survive in this world for 30 years. After 30 years, they will die and become complete corpses, and those corpses will also be destroyed by those
The spirit master catches them and helps them do things. But before they die, do you know what they will suffer?"
At this time, Tang Chen suddenly thought of the people they saw wrapped in vines in the forest before. They were in real pain, but they were alive. After he killed them, they took the
He still remembers those grateful expressions, it was simply shocking.
"Can you think of a way to save them?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "It's easy for you to say. Back then, anyone who helped them was equivalent to being an enemy of all the spirit masters, and would die miserably, especially because our royal family would never allow people like them.
contact."
"Why, I just don't understand. You are the emperor. You have military power and everything. Why don't you dare to save a few children?"
The emperor's tone became a little stiff and he repeated: "That's a spirit master, not a child!"
"Children who are born with spiritual power are the spiritual masters in your eyes?"
"No!" The emperor answered him directly: "Children who are born with spiritual powers are just children if they do not receive the education of a spiritual master. But as long as they accept the education of a spiritual master, they will become spiritual masters and they will no longer be children.
!Understand?”
"Okay." Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "I don't know what happened back then, but what you did was probably right at the time."
"What I do is right at all times."
"Why did you kill your brother?"
This issue seems to have always been a scar in the emperor's heart. Now he didn't expect that Tang Chen would bring it up again. The emperor sighed and said, "We have no choice."
