Chapter 344 Only children make choices
Chapter 344 Only children make choices
"As you can see, Jin Fanling has gone completely crazy. No one is his match, and no one dares to resist him. Everyone is living in dire straits. Only Yun Yi..."
Jiangnan interrupted her unhappily and said, "This is like the classic train puzzle. There's a person tied to one track, and more people tied to the other track. A train is passing by. You have the ability to change the tracks once. Would you save one person or more people?"
Mu Tong answered without hesitation: "Save more people."
"But what crime has this man committed?"
"If we can save more people, why not sacrifice this one person?"
Jiangnan rubbed Mutong's head and said meaningfully: "Tongtong, you are still too young."
"What would you choose?"
"Children make choices, I want them all."
"What are you going to do?"
Jiangnan pretended to be helpless and said, "I am bound by your rules, and Tiandao Jiangnan can't intervene personally."
Luo Shiyu understood the meaning of the words.
[Tian Dao Jiangnan is not okay, but I didn’t say it’s not okay to become someone else! ]
Mu Tong obviously didn't understand and continued to ask: "Then what should we do?"
"Just watch me perform."
Jiangnan disappeared from the spot after saying this, and turned into an elderly woman, hunched over, leaning on a cane as she walked past the ministers and arrived in front of the palace. (This was already the next morning court session.)
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel before His Majesty?"
Jin Fanling raised his hand to stop the eunuch's scolding and looked at the old woman in front of him.
"You? Do you have a way to wake Xiaoyi up?"
"Yes, our tribe does have such a secret method."
Jin Fanling held his chin with his hand and said with great interest, "Tell me, if you dare to lie to me, you won't need to leave with your head."
Jiangnan chuckled and said, "Young man, don't be too angry. You should know that the sins you commit will eventually be repaid by those around you."
Jin Fanling narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously not liking what he heard.
"You'd better be really capable to dare to talk to me like this."
"Haha, you'll know whether I have the ability or not once you see me."
The old woman drew a circle of fire around herself with her crutch, stood in the middle and began to chant a spell.
Luo Shiyu watched the show with a smile on his face.
【The teacher really acted like a witch. 】
Jin Fanling snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Playing tricks."
As the old woman finished chanting the spell, golden light appeared and a scroll slowly descended from mid-air.
When Jin Fanling saw the scroll, he suddenly sat up straight and began to believe the old woman in front of him.
Maybe she can really wake Xiaoyi up. (Heartfelt voice)
The eunuch took the scroll with both hands and handed it respectfully to Jin Fanling.
He looked at the contents of the scroll and then at the old woman in the audience, and asked, "Are you sure that just by following the instructions above you can bring Xiaoyi back to life?"
"I guarantee it with my own life, but..."
Seeing the old woman hesitate, Jin Fanling quickly asked her to continue.
"But you can't. With me here, no one dares to touch you."
"According to my calculations, three months from now will be the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin time, when the Yin Gate will open. This is the perfect time to hold the resurrection ceremony. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another hundred years."
Jin Fanling looked at the scroll in his hand with a frown on his face, as if he was worried.
[Wasn't he crazy about wanting Yun Yi to wake up? Why didn't he agree immediately?]
Luo Shiyu curiously went over to look at the contents of the scroll, which contained an extremely complicated drawing.
[This amount of work would take an average person at least three years to complete, right? Even for a monk, it would take at least six months.]
"Is this altar necessary? Can't we sacrifice more boys and girls?"
[What the hell? Listen to what you're saying, is this even human language?]
Jiangnan cursed in his heart: "This is crazy!"
The old woman, acting as the cloak, remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, this altar is used to gather Yin and souls, so it is naturally indispensable. Of course, one hundred pairs of boys and girls are also necessary, and the younger the better."
"I understand." Jin Fanling immediately ordered to go to each city to capture able-bodied men and children, and the children must not be over three years old.
Upon hearing this order, a loyal minister stepped forward, knelt down, and dissuaded him, saying, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden! Doing this will only cause panic among the people. Without able-bodied men, who will grow the crops? Children are the very foundation of our nation! Your Majesty! Please revoke your order, Your Majesty!"
A group of ministers knelt down and echoed, "Your Majesty, please revoke your order."
"I didn't expect there would be so many loyal ministers. It seems that before Yun Yi's death, Jin Fanling was not a tyrant."
The minister who stepped forward first continued, "If Queen Yun were still alive, she would definitely not want to see you become like this, Your Majesty!"
Jin Fanling's eyes turned blood red, and he screamed madly, "Then you let him come back to life! Let him stop me! Old Liu, don't think I dare not kill you! Anyone who stops me from resurrecting Xiao Yi will not live!"
After saying that, he summoned his natal sword and slashed at the ministers.
None of them dodged, and they continued to say, "Your Majesty, please revoke your order."
Seeing this, Jiangnan knocked the ground with his crutch.
Only Luo Shiyu saw that at the moment the cane struck down, two magic circles formed under the ministers.
One teleported the real minister to the suburbs, and the other made the crazy Jin Fanling hallucinate, making him think that he had really killed everyone.
No matter how many times I see it, the teacher's instantaneous skill still astounds me. No spells, no pre-swing, this child blessed by all things is truly enviable.
The ministers who were teleported to the suburbs looked at the miracle that had happened and knelt down to thank the gods for their blessings.
A "divine oracle" sounded in the air.
"You must spread the news of the resurrection ritual to as many people as possible, and tell them that the solution is to destroy the Queen's body. Do as I say, and in three months you will be reinstated, and the Emperor will return to his former wise ruler."
"Thank you, God, for your guidance."
"This is so difficult. I'm being treated like a god again."
When Jiangnan withdrew his consciousness, he found himself surrounded by a group of guards.
"What are you doing?"
Jin Fanling's contemptuous voice sounded: "Don't be nervous, old man. You are my honored guest, so you naturally need the protection of my servants."
"So they were afraid I'd run away."
"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful. I just happened to be going into seclusion, so I'll stay here."
Jin Fanling waved his hand. After the old woman was escorted to a residence by the guards, those people stood outside the door and had no intention of leaving.
"You are so scheming, but it's a pity you are still so naive."
Jiangnan set up a hallucinogenic magic circle in the house and walked away in front of those people in a swagger, but no one noticed.
