Chapter 272 The King and the Queen
“Who is it?”
Chen Ye reacted instantly and raised his eyes to look over.
But he looked left and right, but there was no sign of anyone.
Chen Ye's mind moved when he saw this, and in an instant, he arrived at the location where the sound had just been made.
That was a branch of a flat peach tree...
Chen Bao stepped on it and glanced over it.
Soon, he discovered the clues.
I saw three peach blossoms blooming on the withered black twisted branches of the peach tree.
There are three fruits inside and are on the verge of maturity.
These two flat peaches are as big as a basin. Although they still look green, they are not impossible to pick.
Of course, if that's all, it's not enough to attract Chen Ye.
“This flat peach...why does it look like this?”
Chen Biao raised his eyebrows and looked closely at it.
But those two flat peaches actually have human faces!
One is shaped like an old man, and the other is shaped like an old woman.
Their expressions of horror send chills down one's spine.
"It actually has a spirit?"
Chen Yuan's mind moved and he felt the existence of the spirit from these two human-faced peaches.
For a moment, his expression darkened.
At this moment, he didn't know that these two human-faced peaches were once living people.
Now, Chen Long has used some evil and evil method to cultivate it into a flat peach on the tree.
The soul is trapped in the peach and cannot be freed from life to life. It can only remain in fear, loneliness and pain for a long time.
This is somewhat similar to the previous experience of King Jing Long.
You must know that King Jing Long is not a mortal after all. However, even so, he was unable to withstand the pain in the end, and his mind was consumed by the pain.
Judging from the aura of the spirits, the people who transformed into these two flat peaches should be just two mortals.
Chen Long allowed two mortals to endure this kind of pain. What hatred and grudge is this?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is completely unconscionable.
Chen Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger.
At the same time, the two flat peaches seemed to feel something.
"Holy..."
"Monk..."
A faint shout came from the flat peach.
Seeing this, Chen Ye quickly listened.
No matter how he listened, he couldn't hear Pantao's voice clearly.
Chen Ye frowned and his mind moved.
He has a clear mind!
In an instant, Chen Ye felt the... hearts of these two flat peaches.
The two flat peaches became excited, and fragments of their voices reached Chen Ye's mind.
"Holy Monk, you are back..."
"Kill us, ask the holy monk to kill us..."
There is no desire to live, only the desire to die!
"Who are you?"
Chen Ye was silent for a long time, and then with the help of his mind, he passed on his doubts.
The two flat peaches kept begging for death, and their voices were mostly useless nonsense.
However, there were still sporadic voices, and Chen Ye gradually figured out the whole story...
It turned out that these two flat peaches, and the trapped poor man, turned out to be the former king and queen of the Chechi Kingdom!
Yes, it was the King of Chechi who only respected Taoism and demoted monks to slaves.
In the past, the three great immortals of Chechi Kingdom, Hu Li, Lu Li, and Sheep Li, were defeated by the people of destiny.
Since Tianmingren left, Chechi State has changed from respecting Taoism to respecting Buddhism.
But the good times didn't last long...
Maybe it was because he had offended Buddhism before, and Che Chi Kingdom was punished by heaven.
Since then, there has never been a drop of rain in Chechi Country.
It turns out that when the Imperial Master was there, he could still ask for rain.
But now that the national master is dead, the Buddhist monks only care about making money and are unwilling to serve the king who once demoted them as slaves. Even if they forcibly capture monks to chant sutras and pray for blessings, it will be of no use.
Suddenly, the country of Chechi was starved to death, and the people were in dire straits.
At this moment, an old dragon descended from the sky!
The old dragon claimed to be the divine king in the sky, twelve Yuan Chen, Six Ding Liujia.
If the king can agree to its request, it will bring rain to Chechi.
Lao Long asked them to build a new Taoist temple and invite back the Sanqing statue that was still in the place of reincarnation of grains.
Kill those useless monks and use their flesh and blood to open an altar to worship heaven.
The king and queen were so ill that they sought medical treatment and could only trust the old dragon.
The king was already resentful of these inactive monks.
Now that I have an outlet, I can naturally work hard.
Suddenly, all the monks in Chechi Kingdom were killed, and the temples were demolished and converted into Taoist temples.
The king and the queen, according to the old dragon's wishes, went to the place of reincarnation of grains in person and invited the Sanqing statue back.
But because it has been soaked in filth for many years, the Sanqing statue has long been unsightly.
The king once proposed to reshape the statues of Sanqing.
However, the old dragon did not agree, but said with a smile that this was good.
After the Sanqing statue was retrieved, the Sanqing Temple was renamed the Santurbid Temple.
It finally began to rain in Chechi State, and the people were healthy.
However, such good days did not last long before Lao Long came to visit us again.
Lao Long got straight to the point and asked the king and queen if they wanted to live forever.
At this time, the king and queen were already old and their lifespan was short.
Facing the old dragon's temptation of immortality, they couldn't bear it.
The king immediately waved his hand and told the old dragon to do whatever he wanted. He would do anything to live forever.
Ever since, the original palace garden was changed to the Herb Garden.
Old Long planted a walnut and watered it with human blood day and night.
At first it was just human blood. There were so many refugees from Chechi Country, so a few less would not cause any harm.
But as we got further back, Old Long's appetite became bigger and bigger.
From human blood to human flesh, to the need for living people as fertilizer.
At that time, everyone in the Chechi Kingdom was in danger. They all said that the king was bewitched by demons again and became a traitor who helped the evildoers.
And this is indeed the case...
I don’t know when, but the king and queen, who originally cared about the people, began to do whatever it took to achieve longevity.
Whenever the old dragon opens his mouth, they will respond.
In just one year, a mountain of people had died in Baicao Garden.
But the old dragon seemed to have no intention of stopping and was still asking.
The king and queen couldn't bear it, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
But at this moment, the old dragon seemed to know their thoughts and came to the door again, saying that the peaches would be ripe soon.
The king and queen were dazzled by the good news and immediately decided to hold a banquet for immortality!
That day, the immortal master of Sanzhuo Temple held a banquet and placed a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as fine wine and jade liquid.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sang and danced.
The king and queen are smiling.
However, what no one expected was that it was all a scam from beginning to end.
And this Ascension Banquet is actually their Ascension Banquet.
Pushing cups and changing cups, drinking and drinking.
By the time the king and queen woke up from their drunkenness, the situation in Chechi Kingdom had already changed.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were reduced to rapeseed in the fields, and the people were reduced to meat and mud.
And they, with their dreams of immortality, turned into the bloody ‘peach’.
The fruits of the tree are kings and queens.
The soil filled under the tree represents hundreds of officials and people.
A flat peach tree is the country of Chechi...
