Chapter 240: Teachers preach, receive karma, and resolve doubts
Basically, there is no reason to just stop listening to a story halfway, not to mention that Boss Luo is the type who likes to listen to other people's stories... Moreover, this is under the premise of using the last wish.
"He is the most respected teacher in the prince's life. From him, the prince not only learned more knowledge, but also learned that there is a world outside that is far broader than the kingdom, and there are people of different skin colors.
The lake is wider and the sea... The prince wants to see it, see everything his teacher said, and want to experience the greatness of this world with his teacher..." The red lantern's expression gradually softened, "For this reason,
The prince is even willing to give up his identity, he just wants to travel around the world with his teacher."
Boss Luo gradually had a bad feeling... I hope it was just an illusion.
But the images in the room gradually became philosophical.
"The prince and his teacher climbed to unprecedented heights, they crossed the vast sea, they also lived with the locals in the far north, and appreciated the magic and magnificence of the aurora... All of this made the prince feel that he had once
How insignificant he was, and now that he has been reborn, he is ecstatic. He wants to understand the true meaning of the world, and wants to stay by the teacher's side forever, listening to his endless wisdom... Days like this continue.
It took ten years. Finally, the prince and his teacher returned from their travels and returned to the prince's country."
suddenly.
A huge dark shadow appeared in the room...like a dark cloud, a dark cloud covering the entire country.
"When the prince returns, what awaits him is not the condolences of his relatives, nor the hugs of his parents and relatives, nor the cheers of his people who love him..." The red lantern god looked at Boss Luo coldly, "Waiting for the prince
Yes, it’s this area of ruins, ruins like this.”
The dark clouds in the room dispersed, leaving only debris and dilapidated city walls... This was a shrunken and ruined country. The red lantern reached out and grabbed a handful of sand, and the dust scattered from between it.
Just stood there silently.
"Because of the war?" Luo Qiu asked in a low voice.
"It's an invasion." The red genie said calmly, "A barbaric army from the south... They baptized the prince's country with fire of war, hanged the king and queen, and killed the prince's son in the most cruel way.
people, destroying every bit of his homeland."
"Is the prince ready for revenge?" Luo Qiu still asked in a low voice.
"Of course the prince hopes to take revenge! How can he not take revenge?!"
The expression of the red djinn suddenly became fierce, "The prince asked his teacher, the wizard with powerful magic, to take action, hoping to get his help! The wizard didn't think about it at all, and told the prince how to save everything... Do you know
What exactly is this method?”
"Magic lamp." Luo Qiu had already guessed something.
"That's right!" The red djinn nodded: "The wizard told the prince that there is a great power in the world that cannot be resisted, but only people with pure hearts can get it... It can make any wish come true! That is
Obtain the legendary magic lamp with magical power! Finally, after countless hardships, the prince found the magic lamp. Unfortunately, the prince did not pass the test of the magic lamp... because the prince only had hatred and murderous intent in his heart.
The lamp will not answer the request of the wicked!"
"The wizard appeared at this time. He told the prince that only by letting go of hatred and making his heart pure can he be recognized by the djinn. He asked the prince to give up the idea of killing the enemy. He said that time would punish the genie.
The evil army, he said, instead of taking revenge, it is better to use the most sincere prayers and make a wish to let the genie in the magic lamp resurrect the prince's dead parents and people, and make a wish to bring the disappeared kingdom back again... let everything return to the way it was before.
, so that tragedy did not happen."
Luo Qiu was silent... The wizard's suggestion was indeed more appropriate than simple revenge. He knew that the reward for letting go of hatred would be to resurrect his dead relatives... who wouldn't?
"Has the prince given up his hatred, finally?" Boss Luo asked curiously.
"He can only let go." The red lamp god said calmly: "Without any hatred, the soul is as pure as water. Only in this way can he be recognized by the lamp. In order to make himself pure, the prince left and was already shattered.
country, he once again followed the wizard to travel around the land, the breeze, the moon, the rivers, he used time to wash away the sadness in his heart, and he used the longing for his relatives and friends to defeat the demons in his heart again and again... It took the prince a full thirty years.
It took time for him to completely let go of the resentment in his heart and become more pure. In the end, the prince was recognized by the magic lamp and successfully summoned the lamp god... After a long period of practice, he tasted all the things in the world.
After suffering, the prince finally succeeded in seeing his parents again."
"The prince used his first wish to resurrect the people of the kingdom who died in the war. Then, he used his second wish to restore the destroyed kingdom and restore it to its former prosperous scene... everything
Everything was like going back in time. The prince looked at his parents and relatives who were similar in age to him and couldn't help but burst into tears."
"I really hope the story ends here." Boss Luo exhaled slowly at this time. The image in the room was exactly the scene of the prince and his family embracing each other. "But obviously, that's not the case, right?"
The red djinn took a deep breath and said, "The prince has one last wish left."
"What wish did you make?"
"I hope to replace the original genie of the lantern and become the genie inside the lantern."
"Oh?" Boss Luo blinked, and then suddenly said: "Is this what your teacher told you?"
The red lantern god glanced at Luo Qiu in surprise, and finally nodded silently, his thoughts flying...many, many years ago.
…
"Teacher, look! The kingdom has recovered, and the people can once again live a happy life! These are the crops that were just harvested, and I sent some to you!"
"How long do you think this happy life can last?"
"As long as I have one day, I will let it continue... I have one last wish, it can protect the kingdom, teacher."
"You and I will eventually leave, and the third wish will eventually be used up. The magic lamp will also change hands, and you can't keep it forever. So... why will you come back then?
Guard this and go home?"
"Teacher teach me!"
"Only with strong power can you protect your country under any circumstances and repel all invasions...just like the invasion of that barbaric army. As long as you have strong power, you can
Then you can protect your home and kingdom."
"I understand. The teacher hopes that I can make a wish to the djinn and let it give me strong power to protect the country."
"No, even if you gain great power, it will only be temporary. You will eventually die one day."
"Then...then what should I do?"
"The only way is for you to become the djinn."
"I...I'm here to become the djinn? I...can I? I'm just a mortal..."
"Listen, nothing is impossible in this world! Only if you become the genie can you prevent all misfortunes from your country. You have to understand that everyone only has three chances to make a wish. When your
After the wish is used up, the magic lamp will fall into the hands of the next qualified person. However, the qualification recognized by the magic lamp is one-time. Once the holder's mind becomes no longer pure, or even tainted by ambition, then the possession
The latecomers to the magic lamp will bring horrific disasters to the world! You have already seen the power of the magic lamp, can you imagine how terrifying a magic lamp dominated by ambition is?"
"I...I can't, I really can't, teacher."
"So! Only you! Only if you become the new genie of the lantern, can I have confidence! You were taught by me personally. No one knows your kindness better than me. Only if you become the genie of the lantern, can you
To truly care for those kind-hearted people, only you can truly use the power of the lantern to help those in need! You can even use the magic lantern as a treasure inherited by the royal family, so that the descendants of the royal family can help them in times of crisis.
When the time comes, select pure-minded descendants to call you to solve the country's crisis. If this is passed down from generation to generation, this country... will never decline!"
"Never fade...but, but I...can I really do it? I'm just...a mortal."
"Believe me, my favorite student... you are the only candidate who has obtained the power of the magic lamp and I will not doubt it! Only you can truly use the power of this god!"
"I...what should I do?"
"It's very simple... first you summon the djinn, and then make your last wish."
"desire?"
"Volunteer to replace the genie of the lamp, bear all its responsibilities and obligations, and be the companion of the lamp."
"Teacher, your knowledge is far greater than mine, and your insight is far greater than mine. Wouldn't it be better for you to control the power of the magic lamp?"
"I can't. I still have obsessions in my heart and can't get the recognition of the magic lamp... In terms of practice, even as a teacher, I am not as good as you! So... after you become the magic lamp, let me
I will protect you well. My student, my only pride..."
"I...I won't let you down, teacher!"
…
…
"As you can see, this is how I became the genie." The red genie said calmly at this time.
The phantom in the room was also fixed at the moment of the conversation between the prince and the wizard, then gradually faded and finally disappeared.
"After?" Boss Luo obviously felt that the other party was cutting corners, but he always had a good temper, so he was just using a warning tone at this time.
The red djinn frowned, as if it was undergoing a great struggle in its heart. It suddenly roared and said angrily: "He lied to me! He lied to me! He lied to me!! My most beloved , I even gave my life for the teacher who cheated on me!!"
"He made me the new djinn just to release the former djinn from the magic lamp!! His lover!! Everything he did has only this purpose from the beginning!"
The angry voice of the red djinn suddenly became shrill: "He didn't tell me that after becoming the djinn, he would have to endure the burning fire in the lamp all the time! He didn't tell me that I needed to fulfill a thousand wishes! He didn't tell me He was even the culprit that caused my country to be destroyed in the first place! It was the army he brought that destroyed my country! He has been deceiving me!! I want to kill him!! You and his lover...that bitch !!”
The quality of this story is slightly different from the stories I have heard before, and there are even too many flaws... Boss Luo opened his mouth, then snapped his fingers, and suddenly the coffee table and cups were all ready. He was telling the story until he was drooling. The dry red djinn got a cup of tea, "tea."
"Oh... thank you." It subconsciously took it, "Did I scare you? Sorry, I've been in the magic lamp for a long time, and my temper is getting worse and worse... But I feel much better after saying it. Now, you human It’s actually quite good…”
"You're welcome." Boss Luo smiled slightly, and when he saw the red djinn getting closer, he backed away without leaving a trace.
Just looking at each other.
The red djinn suddenly whispered: "You...will you look down on me after knowing this?"
Boss Luo, who has become quite eloquent since he became a [shop owner], now faced the red djinn's gaze, feeling like he was at a loss for words...
He rubbed his brows and considered the words, "So you would rather use your soul as a mortgage than lose half of your power. The purpose is to take revenge after you gain freedom in the future."
"Half the power is not enough to deal with my old... against the wizard!"
The red djinn gritted his teeth and said: "He himself is a powerful wizard! And that bitch... She has been a djinn for countless years before me, and there must be many things hidden behind her that I don't know about! Not to mention that I only have half of my strength left. Even if I were to leave the confinement of the magic lamp now, I dare not say that I would be able to deal with this bitch!"
Luo Qiu cleared his mind and listened to the red djinn saying "bitch" to the left and "bitch" to the right... In fact, strictly speaking, as the lover of his teacher, the wizard, the previous djinn was actually the red djinn. Yes... um, mistress.
After briefly sorting it out, you can know that the story of the red djinn is actually a story: "My most beloved teacher actually teamed up with the coquettish bitch/goods teacher to harm me, but I still can't defeat him. I'm also desperate. Why?" Do, urgent]... the story.
"It has been so many years. You, as the genie of the magic lamp, can live forever...but your teacher and the elves of the previous generation may not live that long." Boss Luo shook his head.
The red djinn also shook his head: "No, I believe the wizard can do it! Because he will definitely drink the water from the Fountain of Youth... and so will that bitch!"
Boss Luo blinked, "Fountain of Youth?"
The red djinn nodded: "That was the treasure land I accidentally discovered when I was looking for the magic lamp... I even told him without reservation... my teacher!"
emmmm... Boss Luo really believes in the unreserved aspect.
