Chapter 373 False Emperor
When Zuo Chen heard the word "false emperor", his whole mind was confused.
The false emperor this young man is talking about is not referring to me, right?
No, no, no.
This title sounds like a scornful name for a ruler from an oppressed people. Zuo Chen considers himself not a ruler, and has no intention of becoming a tyrant. Why do you call me this?
This thing is starting to sound weirder and weirder.
He casually deflected the attack from the young man in front of him and gently pushed him away. The young man immediately stumbled and almost fell to the ground to kiss Mother Earth.
The young man was lying on the ground, and his face immediately showed seven parts of panic, two parts of despair, and one part of "I'm going to break up with you".
He scrambled to his feet and shouted directly outside:
"The false emperor is here! Everyone, run! I'll stay here to break up the rear!"
Immediately afterwards, he actually took out several round objects from his waist, tore off the rings on them and rushed towards Zuo Chen.
Zuo Chen felt a strong spiritual energy wave coming from the person in front of him.
The thing in his hand seems to be a grenade!
It is still the pure Lingqi version.
Has this timeline even developed this?
Just as he was about to take action to suppress him, Ziyi next to him took a step forward, stretched out his fingers, and pointed in the direction of the young man.
The violent spiritual energy among several grenades surged toward Zi Yi's body in an instant.
And disappeared without a trace in an instant.
These so-called violent energies are simply incomparable to the spiritual energy that washed through Ark's body at that time.
It was all absorbed in the blink of an eye.
Outside, the crowd after hearing the news was like frightened birds, gathering and dispersing. Some people held up weapons that looked like charcoal and wanted to rush in, while others fled outside the palace in a hurry, trying to get into a car and escape.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, like a rooster crowing and a dog jumping, and it was chaotic.
Zuo Chen sighed helplessly, and with a flick of his fingertips, the entire palace was covered in invisible barriers.
The people who originally wanted to run out were stuck directly in the palace, and no one could get out.
The ones running in front were a man and a woman. The two of them hit the transparent cover with two thuds. The pain was so painful that they covered their heads and fell back, lying on the ground. Call.
After regaining consciousness, he touched the invisible barrier in front of him with his hand, and despair slowly built up in his eyes.
This place has been blocked and they have no way to escape.
The remaining people have also arrived in front of Zuo Chen and Zi Yi.
Some people took out talismans, some took out swords, some took out things that looked like firearms, and some simply started dancing on the spot and singing about the Great God, then pointed in the direction of Zuo Chen and started throwing skills. Law.
The picture is messy, the battlefield is messy, and the sound is messy.
Zuo Chen's head was so messed up that it hurt slightly.
Should you take action and suppress all the people in front of you...
Zi Yi covered his mouth and chuckled:
"Taoist priest, it looks like you Not very popular in this world.”
The corners of Zuo Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.
Although there are all possibilities in the future, is it a bit too extreme to turn into a street rat that everyone yells at?
At this moment, an old man holding a talisman among the crowd not far away slightly turned his eyes and looked in the direction of Ziyi.
His small eyes began to widen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his voice trembled uncontrollably:
"General...General?"
Ziyi: "?"
Following his soft call, everyone else also looked in Zi Yi's direction.
There were also blank looks on their faces, and they all stopped and did not continue to attack Xiang Zuo Chen.
Everyone is staring at Ziyi, and Ziyi is also staring at them.
Finally Ziyi stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose:
"Me?"
...
A group of people found a clean table in the hall. Zuo Chen and Ziyi sat on the left, and the rest of the people sat on the right.
The homeless people carry weapons in their hands. They know that these weapons cannot hurt Zuo Chen, but they also place their hope on it. It seems that only holding the weapons can bring them a sense of security.
Of course, more of their attention was focused on Ziyi not far away, with a mixture of doubt and confusion on their faces.
Seems like she has no idea why she is here.
Zuo Chen stared at this group of people, all the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word for most of the day. In the end, he could only put his hands on his head and let out a long sigh.
"Although I don't know what's going on, I shouldn't be the false emperor you said." Even so, the people around him still showed indifference, and even vaguely resisted answering.
When Zuo Chen was about to say something else, Ziyi stood up next to him.
She looked around at the people around her with cold eyes:
"Tell me everything about the false emperor. Don't lie or talk nonsense. Do you understand?"
As soon as Zi Yi said this, the effect was obviously much better than Zuo Chen. These clothes The people in worn windbreakers got together and discussed for a long time. Finally, the old man who just called Zi Yi a general came out:
He first saluted Zi Yi respectfully and introduced himself. :
"This gentleman, this girl, old man, my name is Qian Hong, and I am the academic advisor of this team. I can probably tell that these two are not the general and... the pseudo-emperor we know, I was too excited just now and I'm really sorry for offending you two."
After saying this, the old man felt a little relieved when he saw that Zuo Chen and the others had no reaction.
He adjusted his mood for a while and asked carefully:
"Can you two introduce yourselves to me first? Otherwise, I don't know where to start with this history?"
Zuo Chen After pondering for a while, he briefly introduced the origins of himself and Ziyi to everyone in front of him.
When they heard Zuo Chen's words about "the future is past" and "the passage of time", the group of people all looked confused and confused.
A few young people with quick thinking can understand it, but this old gentleman is so confused that he really can't keep up with the ideas.
Seeing this, Zuo Chen didn't want to say any more and said, "Anyway, you can just treat us as others."
The old man also gave up asking for more information.
He found a clean place to sit down, took out a tablet-like thing from the big bag on the side, and while flipping through it, he started talking about this piece of history that Zuo Chen had never heard of.
After listening to this piece of history, Zuo Chen called him wild.
……
All history is the same except the beginning.
In the troubled times of Daliang, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared from nowhere. His skills and methods were extremely powerful, and his cultivation and Taoism were far beyond those of ordinary people.
Powerful, profound, and ever-changing.
Unlike Zuo Chen, the Taoist priest did not go north to look for Liu Xianwen at first, but went directly south to Yangzhou.
The Taoist priest stayed in Yangzhou for three years. During this period, he seemed to have many unclear relationships with Li Yunxiu, the Xuan King of Yangzhou. There are also many wonderful and interesting things recorded in history.
According to the old man, although the Taoist priest and King Xuan had nothing to do with each other in the end, various "literary creators" were still happy to create a lot of rosy articles for the past three years. Hearing Ziyi's voice, he felt excited, and even I can’t wait to pick up a copy and read it immediately.
Zuo Chen was so shocked that he grabbed the girl repeatedly and told her to be calm and cautious, think carefully, and not to be blinded by mental obstacles.
Three years flew by without any trouble, and then came the chaos in the world. Daliang was completely plunged into the whirlpool of war. Its emperor Li Rongxuan fell into madness and led the world's black cavalry to massacre the entire world.
The Taoist priest who was recuperating in Yangzhou went directly out of the mountain and went to fight against the world's black cavalry alone.
This battle left a mark in history that was so profound that when the old man was telling this piece of historical knowledge, he repeatedly slapped his thigh, just like a storyteller telling a fairy tale:
< br>
"Although the false emperor was not of good character, he was really capable. At that time, he lifted a mountain with one hand and smashed all the black knights in Kyoto to death, killing a generation. Later, he was walking around in the garden. Entering the palace, he slapped the then-big Liang Xiao to death. Emperor Li Rongxuan also shot to death those who had objections to him.
"After defeating the emperor of Daliang, the pseudo-emperor put on his dragon robe, ascended the throne and took charge. The entire Daliang has since become the famous pseudo-emperor.
“He developed the communication incense, he redesigned the vehicle, he created the assembly line, he restored the previous cultivation techniques, and there are countless great achievements. Many historians are willing to call this period of The Taoist is a wise king.
“But he is also extremely vicious. Anyone who does not agree with him will be killed directly, and anyone who questions his decision-making will also be slaughtered by him.
“The nobles cannot escape his grasp, and the common people cannot escape his grasp. As long as you question him or deny him, you will be hung at the main entrance of the palace the next day for passersby to watch.
"He even started a festival called Hanging Day. He said it was to commemorate the people who were hanged by him, and he specially sold hemp rope on that day."
Hearing this, Zuo Chen felt a cruel feeling in his heart. A tyrant who is tyrannical, aloof, and a little crazy. He regards his own strength as a tool of power and ignores the suffering of all living beings.
Zuo Chen felt that with his temperament, he wouldn't be able to do such beastly things.
But he really couldn’t tell.
Without the Taoist heart that has been shaped over the past long years, Zuo Chen is not sure whether he can still maintain his true heart when faced with such a huge temptation of power.
Maybe it will really become what the old man said.
When the old man said this, he glanced at Zuo Chen in fear from time to time, as if he was afraid of his displeasure. Seeing that Zuo Chen was meditating silently, he calmed down and continued to talk about this somewhat wild official history:
The Pseudo Emperor He quickly laid a strong foundation among Daliang, and his ambitions were no longer limited to Daliang.
But it is heading towards a wider world.
He began to send troops to deal with all the vassal kings who disobeyed him. In the face of powerful new weapons, the vassal kings were torn to pieces by the overwhelming army without even the emperor having to take action.
Soon, he led the army to the northern fortress, directly defeated the northern army led by Li Ji, and took over the fortress.
And here, the false emperor met his lifelong enemy.
That dark ocean.
