Both Jiang Ping'an and Bai Li's expressions changed greatly. Jiang Ping'an crossed over and stood in front of Bai Li. Facing the sword of the Daoist priest in green, he said, "Daoist Master, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Scholar Jiang, judging from your expression, I must know that it is a fox demon!" The Daoist priest in green said coldly, "But, do you know that it eats people's hearts and killed seven or eight lives!"
"If you hadn't already known about it, would you have condoned and protected it?"
Jiang Ping'an's face changed drastically and turned pale as a sheet. The night when Bai Li's mouth was bloody.
Bai Li Seeing that the situation was exposed, he decisively opened his arms, picked up a pair of children, turned around and flew away, as fast as a flying star.
The green-robed Daoist priest kept a close eye on Bai Li. When he saw Bai Li trying to run away, he immediately shouted, "You monster, don't try to run away!"
Shouting, he passed over Jiang Pingan, who was dazed and distracted, and chased Bai Li as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Bai Li and stabbed Bai Li in the back of the heart with his sword.
Bai Li screamed and fell to the ground. However, when it landed, it used its last strength to turn its body over and let itself fall to the ground first, using its body to support the pair of children.
"Wow wow wow..." Jiang Zhang and Jiang Ying, who were young and ignorant, cried loudly.
The cry brought Jiang Ping'an back to his senses. He turned around and ran over quickly, knelt down beside Bai Li, leaned over and hugged Bai Li tightly, crying, "Mother..."
"Ms. sir, I don't regret it, and you don't regret it either, right?" Bai Li said with difficulty as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Ping'an couldn't answer for a moment. He asked in great pain, "Why do you want to harm people? Why do you want to eat people's hearts?"
Bai Li smiled miserably, moved his mouth twice, then died, turning back into a white fox.
Jiang Ping'an lay on top of Bai Li, crying loudly.
After a while, Jiang Ping'an heard the voice of the Daoist priest in green. "Scholar Jiang, these two scoundrels will also be put to death!"
Jiang Ping'an suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Tsing Yi Daoist priest desperately, trying to fight the Tsing Yi Daoist priest.
The Daoist priest in green swept Jiang Ping'an away with just a wave of his sleeve.
Jiang Ping'an fell to the ground. Regardless of the pain, he immediately got up and continued to throw himself at the Qingyi Daoist priest with all his strength.
After repeating this, the Daoist priest in green held the magic formula, pointed at Jiang Ping'an and shouted, "Sure!"
Jiang Ping'an was immediately immobilized and unable to move.
"Why?" Jiang Ping'an asked angrily with his eyes red.
The Daoist priest in green said coldly, "Although these two villains are small, they have the spirit of sin and unjust death. They also eat people's hearts!"
"I don't believe it!" Jiang Ping'an shouted.
The Daoist priest in green said, "They have the blood of the fox demon, but they don't know how to practice. In order for them to maintain their human form and not expose their flaws, the fox demon feeds them their human hearts!"
"Perhaps even though the fox demon kills people, it doesn't eat people's hearts."
Jiang Ping'an Listening to these words, it felt like being struck by lightning.
The Qingyi Daoist explained clearly and then killed Jiang Zhang and Jiang Ying. The corpses of Jiang Zhang and Jiang Ying showed some characteristics of foxes.
Seeing a pair of children being killed, Jiang Ping'an was so heartbroken that everyone was stunned.
The Daoist priest in green put away his sword and untied Binding Spell from Jiang Ping'an before leaving.
Rumble--
There was thunder in the sky, and soon it started to rain.
In the courtyard, Jiang Ping'an fell to the ground motionless, next to the bodies of his wife, son and daughter.
I don't know how much time passed, but Jiang Ping'an muttered foolishly:
"The ruins are against the old blue shirt, and the shadows of candles are shaking in the cold autumn catkins.
Occasionally saving the white fox is said to be a good reward, and the rumor that the golden list is a prophecy.
The wind in the wild temple returns to the snow, and the light in the gaps between the tiles turns into a flashy beard.
The world does not allow Lu Sheng a pillow, but it allows the fox demon to talk to you on your pillow."
After he finished reciting the poem, he suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed and burst into tears again.
Laughing and crying, crying and laughing, he is crazy.
Since then, Nanpo Town has gained another madman.
More than a year later, Jiang Ping'an's body was extremely weak, he was dying, and he was on the verge of death.
"It's over." A calm voice sounded from deep in Jiang Ping'an's soul.
Without Merit Purple Bamboo's protection and guidance, Jiang Ping'an got rid of the illusion on his own. He Divine Soul is extremely powerful, and this illusion cannot make him sink. He is worried that breaking the illusion in advance may affect Foundation Establishment, so he waits and watches the evolution of the illusion.
After the illusion of the first life was shattered, the illusion of the second life followed.
Jiang Ping'an is a country boy with an unusually calm personality. He is only nine years old this year, but has the calmness of an eighteen-year-old boy. Because his mother Madam Zhao always taught him some great principles, which are so great that the world will rise and fall.
He has never been able to understand the teachings of Madam Zhao. He is an ordinary farmer. How can he be responsible in the world?
There was a severe drought this year, and all the crops in the fields withered. Even the water from the wells had to be saved. However, the whips of the county officials to urge tax payment were more severe than the hot wind of the drought demon.
Jiang Ping'an saw with his own eyes that his neighbor Old Man Zhang was beaten to death by the county officials' men under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village because he could not pay taxes. His little grandson lay on the corpse crying, his voice hoarse, while the officials expressionlessly counted the last bits of food that they had found from Old Man Zhang's house.
That night, Madam Zhao stared at Jiang Ping'an in the room with the door closed, and said word for word, "A'an, you must remember that when the people suffer, the world is in danger. In the future, if you have the ability, you must protect these suffering people."
Jiang Ping'an felt his chest was tight and uneasy. Today Old Man Zhang was beaten to death by the county officials. There was nothing he could do. What will happen to him when he grows up in the future? Should he revolt, overthrow the Yan Dynasty, become the emperor himself, and stop the suffering of the people?
A few months later, one day suddenly a group of officers and soldiers wearing brocade clothes and riding tall horses broke into the village. The leader held a stick embroidered with Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in his hand. The people in the village were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, thinking that a disaster was coming.
Only Madam Zhao walked over to talk to the leader without fear.
After a while, Madam Zhao walked up to Jiang Ping'an, suddenly knelt down and said excitedly, "Your Highness, it's time to go home!"
By the time she finished speaking, her eyes had filled with tears, and her face was filled with tears. She was crying with joy, and it was the end of all her suffering and the joy of it.
The officers and soldiers suddenly knelt down towards Jiang Ping'an and shouted in unison, "Greetings to Your Highness, respectfully Your Highness and return to the palace."
Jiang Ping'an was extremely confused and asked Madam Zhao: "Mother, what did you say?"
Madam Zhao said excitedly, "I am not your mother, I am only your wet nurse. You are the only descendant left by Crown Prince Jianye, and you are the Imperial Grandson of the current saint."
The prince's orphan?
The grandson of the current emperor?
The news was too sudden and huge. A country boy suddenly became the noble Imperial Grandson. Jiang Ping'an was completely confused.
On the way to the imperial palace in the capital, Jiang Ping'an finally understood the context of the matter.
Seven years ago, Crown Prince Jianye was brutally framed. Unable to see the emperor's face to face defense, he had to raise troops to rebel in order to save his life. Crown Prince Jianye failed in his rebellion and died. More than three hundred people in the prince's palace were murdered. Only he was rescued by Madam Zhao. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, he suddenly wakes up and sends people everywhere to look for him Jiang Ping'an.
Shortly after Jiang Ping'an entered the palace, the seriously ill emperor summoned him.
The emperor was lying on Dragon Bed, his face was very old and full of wrinkles. He stared at Jiang Ping'an's face in trance, as if he saw a mature, handsome and high-spirited smiling face on Jiang Ping'an's face.
After a while, the emperor came back to his senses. He stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Ping'an's hand, and said with guilt in his eyes, "Ping An, I have wronged you."
After saying that, he put it on Jiang Ping'an's hand, raised his hands to take off the Twelve-Beaded Imperial Crown on his head, and put it on Jiang Ping'an's head. "From today on, you are the emperor of Dayan."
More than a month later, nine-year-old Jiang Ping'an ascended the throne in front of the soul of Emperor Jing and changed his name to Yuanping.
Hundreds of officials paid homage, shouting long live the mountain. Jiang Ping'an was sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes sweeping over the ministers bowing down the steps. When he saw Great General Xiao Che, Jiang Ping'an stopped looking.
I saw Xiao Che wearing a purple robe with a jade belt hanging from his waist. The moment he raised his head, the arrogance and contempt in his eyes were exactly the same as those of the county officials who oppressed the people.
At this moment, Jiang Ping'an knew that this palace was more dangerous than the countryside.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Jiang Ping'an was just a Puppet Emperor. All the power of the government was in the hands of Xiao Che. Grand Empress Dowager Madam Wang lived deep in the harem and rarely interfered with the affairs of the previous dynasty.
Jiang Ping'an would get up after four o'clock every day. First, he would listen to Xiao Che and others' report on government affairs, and then he would learn classics, history and the art of war from the veterans.
Xiao Che always said, "Your Majesty is young, so you only need to study with peace of mind. There are experienced ministers in charge of the government."
Jiang Ping'an often goes to the Changle Palace to visit Grand Empress Dowager. Although Madam Wang has no real power, he is well versed in the way of survival in the palace. Grand Empress Dowager Madam Wang pulls him Jiang Ping'an held his hand and warned softly, "The Way of the Emperor, it's not about showing off one's edge, but hiding one's strength and being weak, using strength to gain strength. Xiao Che's party members are not monolithic, and there are also people who are loyal to the emperor among the frontier troops. You have to learn to wait for a suitable opportunity."
After seven years on the throne, Jiang Ping'an gradually accumulated strength through forbearance. And, as Jiang Ping'an grew up, more and more courtiers began to move closer to him.
This year, Jiang Ping'an was sixteen years old and married Xiao Che's granddaughter Empress.
After another two years, Great General Xiao Che finally died of old illness in bed.
As soon as Xiao Che died, Jiang Ping'an immediately launched a liquidation, ransacked the Xiao Clan family and beheaded them, abolished Empress Xiao, imprisoned Cold Palace, and purged the remaining members of the Xiao Clan.
Jiang Ping'an finally has the power.
After taking office, Jiang Ping'an Light Levies and Low Taxes implemented the "Ever-Normal Granary" system - purchasing grain for storage in good harvest years and selling it at low prices in famine years to stabilize grain prices. Recruit people, repair water conservancy, and irrigate millions of acres of fertile farmland.
To break the monopoly of officialdom by family status, Imperial Examination System is held to give talented people from poor families the opportunity to join the court as officials and contribute their talents.
He also encouraged the development of science, and paper, gunpowder, Large Weaving Loom... and so on emerged one after another.
In just ten years, Great Yan Kingdom has made the people rich and strong, with a large fiscal surplus, and the copper coins in the treasury have become rusty.
After that, Jiang Ping'an worked hard for several years, then conquered the world and opened up new territories.
After more than 20 years, Great Yan Kingdom destroyed nine kingdoms and expanded its territory more than three times.
In both civil and martial arts, Jiang Ping'an has reached the pinnacle of an emperor.
At the age of sixty-eight, Jiang Ping'an was lying on Dragon Bed as energetic as a hairspring. The prince with outstanding ability and prestige was serving the decoction in front of the bed.
In this life, except for some hardships in childhood and adolescence, he has been very smooth, and he is the first person in history.
"The emperor's affairs are just trivial." From the deepest part of his soul, Jiang Ping'an said calmly.
Still no need for Merit Purple Bamboo's warning and guidance, Jiang Ping'an easily broke through this second-world illusion.
The third life followed, and Jiang Ping'an became an immortal cultivator.
"The real test is coming." Jiang Ping'an said secretly in the deepest part of his soul.
