Chapter 535 The Pain of the King
I've been sleeping all day long and have been having strange dreams: I dreamed of myself in ragged clothes and fighting with dogs; I dreamed of myself standing on a high hill, raising my arms and shouting, and fighting everywhere; I dreamed of myself wearing a dragon robe, in a magnificent palace
The scene of sitting on the dragon chaise; I dreamed that I took poison, and the sound of killing outside the city wall shook the sky, and I died with my eyes closed...
Reason tells me that this is the past of Yin Ling’s life. He wants to use these to influence me, move me, and let me stand on his side.
When I thought of the scene just now, I felt sad.
My dream is a portrayal of Hong Xiuquan's life. In 1864 AD, the three major camps of the Qing army broke Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan died in the Heavenly King's Mansion, and the cause of death was unknown.
Judging from the scene in his dream, he died of poison. I guess he was unwilling to see half of the country he had worked hard to win became a passing cloud?
But this is not the reason why he came out to burn someone else's house!
It is normal for dynasties to change. It is inevitable that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will eventually fail. Now a hundred years have passed, how could he restore his country?
As soon as reason came back, the feeling of depression disappeared immediately, and I woke up from my sleep. As soon as I woke up, I saw Old Man Hong standing beside me, with iron chains on both hands, looking at me gloomy.
I jumped up immediately and instantly held the Tianlang Whip in my hand.
No wonder he had these dreams. It turned out that he was at work! I couldn't help but feel scared. If he had just attacked me, I would have gone to the Hall of Hell to report it. Thinking of this, I only felt a chill on my back.
Unexpectedly, I looked like I was facing a great enemy, but he sat next to me like a friend.
Then he said to himself: "We are a group of farmers. If we were not forced, no one would dare to pick up the hoe and sickle to rebel! But everyone was so hungry that they couldn't stand it. They had no choice but to have the idea of an uprising and then they were out of control. Yang Xiuqing and I and several like-minded brothers led the huge peasant army all the way north. The corrupt Qing army was no match for us at all. Soon we occupied Nanjing. When we established the capital, we held a three-day celebration banquet."
"As their king! I give equal treatment to the people of the Kingdom of Heaven, so that they can eat and wear warm clothes, but why, in just over ten years, I was defeated like a mountain? When the Qing army besieged Nanjing, I knew that I was going to be defeated. We were a group of loose sand, and we got together for the sake of eating and wearing warm clothes. But after we had enough food and wear warm clothes, we had no goal! We began to seek pleasure, we started to drink and meat forest, and each of us raised countless beauties. Before we overthrew the Qing Dynasty, we created another Qing Dynasty!"
"Why did the original intention of that year become like this? I didn't have the courage to face failure. Seeing the regime established step by step disbanded like this, I chose to die. But I was unwilling to give up, I really didn't want to give up!"
Speaking of this, Old Man Hong's eyes began to shine red. I held the Tianlang Whip and swallowed. He... is he going to go wild?
I hurriedly comforted him and told him that the current society is exactly what he hopes to see, fair and just, and that everyone can eat and wear warmly.
Unexpectedly, he just smiled contemptuously after hearing this: "Is that so? But this is not mine, it is not built by me!"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that he was blinded by power, and it was simply fake for the sake of the people of the world to have enough food and clothing.
Old Man Hong touched the red turban on his forehead and looked at me provocatively, warning me not to provoke the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then turned around and left.
I collapsed on the bed. To be honest, I was afraid of having a conflict with him just now because I had nothing to deal with him.
What’s strange is that the two of us were so disturbing, so Hong Tianbao and the others could hear it, but they didn’t even show their faces. This is really unreasonable.
No, isn’t the house locked? How did this old man Hong come out?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran out and took a look. My whole body was stunned for a moment, and my scalp became numb.
This is not the home of Old Man Hong, this is clearly a cemetery!
Looking back, the place where I just slept was actually a falling tombstone.
I felt a chill behind me. Is this a illusion that Old Man Hong changed, or is he really capable of bringing me to this place without me knowing it?
I quickly bit my middle finger, wiped my eyes with blood, and then looked around. There was no change in the surrounding scenery...
In other words, I was indeed staying in the cemetery. Why did he get me here? He should know that such an ordinary cemetery does not pose a threat to me at all.
Since he didn't want to harm me, why did he get me here? I recalled what he said to me, and he said... this country was built by him! So, he took away my thorn in his side.
Did he already know what I was going to do?
Then Hong Tianbao and the others were in danger. I didn't care about thinking too much. After determining the direction, I rushed back immediately.
When I was rushing back, I found that everything was normal in the village, and only the location where the Hong family was located was soaring into the sky.
But the black gas seemed a little hesitant, and wanted to spread out for a while and then hovered over the Hong family.
I quickly ran over and saw Old Man Hong with red eyes and black air swaying on his body. Hong Tianbao and Hong Tianqiang each held a knife and pressed it against their necks.
Hong Tianbao and Hong Tianqiang asked Old Man Hong to take off the red turban, otherwise they would both die in front of him!
Only then did I understand why the black gas kept lingering in the air.
Although Old Man Hong was controlled, he was Hong Tianbao and his father. Hong Tianbao had blood marks on his neck, probably because he was done to threaten Old Man Hong.
It seems that Hong Tianbao said that he would definitely get the red turban within three days, so he had to use this method.
I couldn't help but be shocked. This was too dangerous. After all, how much rational the controlled Old Man Hong could maintain is still an unknown number.
"Get out!"
Sure enough, when Old Man Hong heard that they were going to take a red scarf, he got angry. The black air on his body rushed over instantly, and then wrapped Hong Tianbao and the others in.
When I saw this situation, I didn't bother to wait for Li Mazi anymore. I took out the Tianlang whip and waved it at Old Man Hong with the Beidou Tianlang.
As soon as the spell was activated, the Tianlang Whip shone with silver light all over his body, just like the arrival of the Big Dipper. Wherever he passed, the black fog would dissipate.
Seeing that I was so powerful, Old Man Hong controlled Hong Tianbao and the others with one hand.
The black air penetrated into the mouths of the Hong Tianbao brothers little by little. I knew that if this continues, they will become Hong Xiuquan's puppets, and I will definitely not be able to handle it at that time.
Thinking of this, I bit my tongue and spit my blood on the Tianlang Whip. While the last whip was still powerful, I slashed at Old Man Hong again.
When Old Man Hong saw that I was completely desperate, he was suddenly panicked and raised his hands to resist, relaxing his control over Hong Tianbao and the others.
I took the opportunity to turn the whip and quickly rolled Hong Tianbao over. He was eroded by the black gas and was a little confused. I pinched his people tightly, and his head swayed before he woke up.
"I'll save your brother and attract your father's attention by the way. You can take the opportunity to get the red turban!" I whispered in Hong Tianbao's ear,
Seeing him nodding, he focused his attention on Old Man Hong again.
Old Man Hong laughed twice, held Hong Tianqiang in his right hand and threw it towards me.
At the critical moment, I could only ignore him and rolled on the ground, then flew away, and whipped Tianlang mercilessly on Old Man Hong's neck.
Old Man Hong didn't expect that I wouldn't care about Hong Tianqiang and would be beaten up by me.
The Tianlang Whip hit his seal hall directly, and then a black shadow flew out of his body. Then Old Man Hong twitched and fainted on the ground with a plop.
Hong Tianbao took the opportunity to rush up and pulled off the red turban and handed it to me.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed. After sobering up Hong Tianqiang, I pasted a few medium-sized talismans on the red turban.
The Yin object lost its host's combat power dropped sharply, not to mention that he was injured by the power of the stars of my Tianlang Whip, and he could not break the spirit talisman for the time being.
The three of us breathed a sigh of relief, and after so many days of game, we finally made a breakthrough!
Old Man Hong woke up again and found that his red turban disappeared, but he didn't react. It seemed that he had regarded the red turban as life as a result of Hong Xiuquan's mistake.
The old man was weak, so I went to the nearby area to pick some medium grass for him to take care of, and by the way, I learned the origin of this red headscarf from the old man.
It turns out that this red turban was really worn by Hong Xiuquan!
It is said that when Hong Xiuquan died of poison, his last mouthful of blood was sprayed on the red turban. He handed the red turban to his general, who was the ancestor of the old man Hong, and asked his generals to continue fighting with the Qing Dynasty.
Perhaps it was because of this mouthful of blood that Hong Xiuquan's ghost lived in the red turban and used the body of Old Man Hong to warm his soul. Unfortunately, he was strangled in the cradle by me before he succeeded...
When Li Mazi arrived, I told him that the matter had been resolved and was about to leave after Old Man Hong's health recovered.
