Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 442 The Heart of the Royal Family
Su Ji recognized that the woman in the green shirt on the tower was Lin Zi, while Xibo Jifu in front of her was just a manipulated corpse.

Lin Zi put a hand on Xi Bo Jifu's shoulder lightly, and the faint purple air spread through her fingers to Xi Bo Jifu's limbs.

Su Ji found that the purple air was getting thicker and thicker, and the purple flames that burned instantly surrounded his father, and his body withered like a flower, quietly turning into a wisp of ashes and passing away with the wind.Su Ji had a panoramic view of all this, but he didn't overreact, he just said lightly:
"You want me to die, and I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Lin Zixiu frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you sad to lose a loved one?"

"I'm sad only because of the death of a loved one, not the fact of losing a loved one

"What's the difference?"

"You don't know, and you don't need to understand. You are just a monster that brings disaster to the country and the people."

"Disaster to the country and the people?" Lin Zi said disapprovingly, "When a man makes a mistake, he always finds some high-sounding excuses to put the blame on a woman."

"If you didn't deliberately confuse the emperor's heart, how could the Yin and Shang Dynasty be destroyed?"

"I was ordered by Empress Nuwa to confuse King Zhou, and I acted according to the order of heaven. I can only blame the King Zhou of Shang for his own fault. He dared to write obscene poems to blaspheme Empress Nuwa, which angered Empress and brought about the disaster."

"The Empress Nuwa ordered you to ruin the world of Yin and Shang, and she didn't let you harm anyone. But you cut the baby by caesarean section, knocked the bone to extract the marrow, tortured the loyal, and even killed the people. You should be punished!"

"I am a demon, and it is my nature to harm people. How can Empress Nuwa not know this truth? The empress ignores me, but she acquiesces in my harm. The Yin and Shang countries are like iron buckets. Destruction, how can I not harm people? If I don’t kill the heroes and don’t harm the innocent, why would King Zhou of Shang betray his relatives? If King Zhou of Shang didn’t lose his mind, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, wouldn’t be able to respond to others, and those so-called loyal ministers and good generals would become You will be the same as you are now!"

"That's right..." With complex emotions in Su Ji's eyes, he mused, "I am a rebellious minister and traitor who betrayed the country, and you are a witch who is cast aside by the world, but they are somewhat similar."

"You and I are more similar than that. Your adoptive father, Mr. Su, was originally a descendant of Hou Suhu in Jizhou, and I was the daughter of Su Hu in the past. All of this is not a coincidence, but a secret. God's will in the dark."

"God willing?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Zi said, "It is God's will that I appear in front of you here and now."

"What is God's will?"

"It is God's will that you come to the city of Haojing to change the situation in the world, and everything I have done so far is to make you come to where you are today."

Su Ji was startled for a moment, and then lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that the enemy he had been looking for all this time was just a pawn used by the gods to kill people with a knife.

What is the nature of the gods?
immortal?eternal life?Or redemption?

If the gods protect mortals, why would they send enchantresses to subvert the entire country just because of a moment of anger, causing innocent people in the world to suffer misery?If the gods cannot protect the people, why should they enjoy the incense provided by the people?

There is also the so-called "Day of Heaven", which seems to be a mysterious situation.Ordinary people who have cultivated themselves will either die unexpectedly, or become a pawn of fate...

Su Ji looked up at Lin Zi, and said sadly, "You control my fate, and you are also ordered by Nuwa? Since Nuwa regards you as a pawn, why do you have to work for her?"

"Even though Empress Nuwa regarded me like a pawn, she never crossed the river and demolished the bridge. I committed a lot of crimes back then, and the empress did not kill me, which was not enough to anger the common people. She could only temporarily destroy my physical body, protect my immortal spirit, and leave me in the state of Qingling. Rest and recuperate, so that one day I can return to the world to complete a new mission. If you ask me why I am willing to do this, it is only because of God's will..."

God's will?

After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Su Ji raised his head again and found that the tower was empty, and Lin Zi was no longer there.

Su Ji took a deep breath, not knowing what kind of God's will he would face next.But no matter what, he was determined to stick to his own path.With a "rumbling" sound, the inner city gate slowly opened, and Su Ji went straight to the palace through the gate.

At this time, the elegant music in the palace was played, and the drums were playing together.All civil and military officials gathered in the royal ancestral hall, praying for the heavenly soldiers to come down to quell the chaos.

Ji Gongxuan is wearing a big fur coat with a dragon-pattern dress decorated with sun, moon and stars patterns, a twelve-pronged crown hanging from the front and back, and a big kui in his waist.However, even though Ji Gongzhen worshiped the ancestors and the gods, and then worshiped the ancestors after worshiping the gods, there was still no movement in the sky.

When everyone was burning with anxiety, Father Guo Shi came out and said: "Your Majesty, just prostrating like this may not be enough to report to the Emperor of Heaven, and you need to sacrifice to Tongtian."

"What is worshiping the sky?" Ji Gongwen asked.

Guoshi's father ordered the priest to arrange three bronze trays side by side on the altar, and explained: "The so-called sacrifice to the sky requires three sacrifices to be placed on the pile of firewood, and the accumulated firewood is lit to let the fireworks rise high in the sky. Let the gods smell the scent and report to the gods to enjoy the sacrifice."

Ji Gongyu looked at the three bronze trays on the altar, and saw jade biscuits on the left tray and silk silks on the right tray, but the middle tray was empty.

"What should be put on this plate?" Ji Gongyan asked again.

Father Guo Shi replied: "Ordinary sacrifices require the heart of a live animal that has just been slaughtered as a sacrifice, but sacrifices that reach the sky require the most noble heart in the world, the heart of a royal family."

Ji Gongyan was startled suddenly!
All the officials were stunned, but no one dared to say anything more because Guo Shi's father took over the military power.

While everyone was sighing, two people walked in one after the other outside the royal ancestral hall. The one in front was Guo Han, the son of Father Guo Shi, walking with his head high, and the one walking with his head bowed was Ji Wang, the younger brother of Ji Gongyan.

Seeing the younger brother who appeared in time, Ji Gongyan seemed to see the "Royal Heart" close in front of him, and said with great joy, "My brother, did you come here to worship the heavens?"

Ji Wang looked flustered, eyes full of fear, and nodded obediently.

Ji Gongyu couldn't wait and said: "My brother's sacrifice for the people of the world is a great feat, and I will definitely bury you... Come on!"

Hearing the sound, the waiter brought a tray with both hands, which contained a sharp knife for digging out hearts.

Ji Wang was sweating profusely from nervousness, took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out one hand to the sharp knife with a cold light, holding it in his hand trembling slightly.Seeing his younger brother's hesitation, Ji Gongyan was so anxious that he urged sharply: "You bastard! What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and do it!"

Seeing his brother so disregarding brotherhood, the hesitation in Ji Wang's eyes suddenly vanished, and he stabbed him out!

puff!

Ji Gongyan's body trembled, her eyes widened suddenly, and one hand slowly covered her chest, blood kept flowing from between her fingers.The sharp knife in Ji Wang's hand did not stab himself, but pierced his brother's left chest!
Ji Wang said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I accept your royal heart on behalf of the people of the world."
