Chapter 344 King Zhou's Yellow Millet Dream, Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light
Chapter 344 King Zhou's Yellow Millet Dream, Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light
Roger looked at the group of trembling ministers in front of him.
As he got into the conversation, he suddenly opened his mouth and blurted out something.
boom! ! !
A burst of intensely hot flame erupted from his mouth!
In an instant, raging flames erupted, as if divine fire had descended, engulfing everyone in a flash!
"Fire! Fire! Run for your lives!"
"Fire! Fire!"
The crowd panicked and scattered in all directions, creating chaos.
Some people desperately shouted for help to put out the fire, while others knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, chanting:
"Ancestors, please calm your anger! Ancestors, please calm your anger!"
Several senior officials even burst into tears, pleading, "Ancestors above, please forgive us and do not bring down disaster!"
However, everyone soon realized that something was wrong.
Although the flames were overwhelming, they did not harm the body.
It floated over them like a phantom, yet caused no burning pain.
Everyone wondered: Could it really be that our ancestors have appeared to us, just to scare us?
But that's it.
Two piercing screams ripped through the sky.
"what!!!"
"Help...help!!"
"Don't burn me to death!"
"I really didn't do anything!"
You Hun and Fei Zhong were engulfed in flames, struggling and wailing.
Before long, the two men were completely charred.
Immediately afterwards, the two turned into ashes and vanished with the wind.
The air was thick with the smell of burnt meat and barbecue.
At this moment, the entire venue was deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the scene before them.
"How is this going?"
"Why were only the two of them burned to death?"
Shang Rong, a veteran official who had served three dynasties, was the first to react. He stood up tremblingly, and shouted excitedly:
"Our ancestors have shown their power!"
"We've come to purge the court of treacherous officials and eliminate corrupt ministers on behalf of the king!"
"You Hun and Fei Zhong have always oppressed loyal officials and framed virtuous ministers; today they have finally been punished by Heaven!"
Bi Gan immediately echoed, his eyes reddening with emotion:
"Many thanks to our ancestors for their divine intervention, which has rid our Great Shang of evil!"
"This is an auspicious omen, not a disaster!"
Upon seeing this, the other ministers all knelt down and shouted in unison:
"May our ancestors manifest their power and bless the Shang Dynasty to prosper forever!"
"Thank you, ancestors, for eliminating the treacherous officials for Your Majesty!"
May our ancestors live long and prosper, and may the Shang Dynasty last for thousands of years!
At this moment, King Zhou stood still, his face turning pale and then red, his lips trembling slightly.
He was not angry because You Hun and Fei Zhong had been burned to the ground.
It wasn't because of the terrifying scene of flames filling the sky that I was frightened.
What truly shook him was that one moment just now.
He actually had a dream.
A dream that felt incredibly real and lasted an incredibly long time.
Just as Roger breathed fire that swept across the entire area, he casually used the Dream Marriage Technique, one of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques.
This technique can make people dream of wealth and glory.
In those few short moments, King Zhou had just woken up from a long dream.
He dreamt of his experiences on the normal timeline.
In his dream, he was still King Zhou, Di Xin, sitting high on the dragon throne, experiencing what was supposed to happen.
From the moment Daji entered the palace, her bewitching charm began to seduce the emperor.
In the imperial court, treacherous officials held sway, loyal ministers were persecuted, feudal lords rebelled, and Xiqi rose in rebellion...
He watched himself walk step by step toward destruction. Bi Gan had his heart ripped out, Huang Feihu fled, and Grand Tutor Wen died in battle at Jue Long Ridge…
When King Wu attacked King Zhou, he dispatched thirty-six armies to conquer Xiqi, which were all destroyed.
In the end, when the Star-Picking Tower was engulfed in flames, he climbed the tower barefoot with disheveled hair, gazing at the smoke and fire filling the city, filled with deep regret.
In his dream, he looked up at the sky and sighed, then leaped into the sea of fire.
The flames burned his flesh, the pain penetrating to his very bones.
And at that very moment, flames in reality also came rushing towards us.
The flames of the Star-Picking Tower in the dream merged with the flames in reality.
"what!!!"
King Zhou suddenly let out a scream, clutching his head with both hands: "It hurts so much!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, fearing that their own emperor would also be burned to death by the heavenly fire.
Shang Rong, Bi Gan, and others immediately stepped forward to support him, anxiously calling out:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?"
But King Zhou just stood there blankly, his eyes vacant, as if he had not yet come back to his senses from a dream.
Just then, Roger stepped forward and asked:
"Have you understood?"
This question, like a thunderclap, directly roused King Zhou from his reverie.
He suddenly looked up at Roger, his eyes filled with fear.
He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your divine intervention, ancestors!"
"If it weren't for the divine power of our ancestors, the Shang Dynasty would have perished in my hands."
Roger nodded in satisfaction: "You're not entirely stupid after all."
"So what do you plan to do now?"
King Zhou took a deep breath, his expression solemn, his voice firm:
“I should issue an edict of self-reproach, abdicate and pass the throne to Yin Jiao to atone for my past sins.”
Roger chuckled and said, "There's no need to abdicate."
"You still have twenty-eight years of good fortune left. As long as you repent and reform yourself and work hard, the Shang Dynasty may well be able to revive like it did during the reign of King Wu Ding."
Roger then said, "I need you to do one thing."
King Zhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
"You must swear a solemn oath that from this day forward, you will be diligent and conscientious in your duties, love the people, and refrain from any further licentious behavior."
"If you break your oath, I will make you burn yourself to death."
King Zhou was pale and covered in cold sweat.
But he still gritted his teeth and made a vow:
"I, Di Xin, hereby swear a solemn oath: if I break this vow, may I be punished by heaven and be burned alive in a sea of fire!"
Roger nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."
With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.
It circled once in the air, let out a long, loud cry, then flapped its wings and disappeared into the vast sky.
All that remained were a stunned assembly of ministers and a King Zhou who seemed to have completely transformed.
……
After brainwashing King Zhou, Roger flew far away from Chaoge City.
Originally, he planned to find a secluded place to stop, transform back into human form, and then return to Chaoge City to see what would happen next.
Just as he transformed back into human form, a five-colored divine light suddenly shot into the sky from the mountains below!
The light, like a rainbow, carried an irresistible force and rushed straight towards Roger!
The next second, Roger felt a tightness all over his body, as if he were frozen in place by some invisible force and could not move.
At the same time, a man with a cold and aloof demeanor slowly appeared in the mountains and forests.
It was Kong Xuan.
He looked up at the sky, his gaze sharp, his tone tinged with anger:
"You wicked Taoist priest, how dare you impersonate the Black Bird to deceive the King of Shang and disrupt the court! You are utterly despicable!"
"As a descendant of the phoenix, how can I, Kong Xuan, tolerate such insolence?"
"Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know that we phoenixes are not to be impersonated by just anyone!"
After he finished speaking, he made a hand gesture, and the five-colored divine light surged again. The five colors of blue, yellow, red, black, and white intertwined to form a dazzling light screen, which swept fiercely towards Roger.
