"As disciples of Taiqing, each of them is a rare genius. With their talents and opportunities, they had great hope of becoming immortals. But they chose to give up the carefree life of Taoism and turned into evil spirits to do evil in the world. However, times have changed, and now the emperor system has disappeared in Shenzhou. Their plan is nothing but an empty dream."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Taihua slumped down on the emperor's throne, took out a replica of the imperial seal from his arms, looked at the words "Mandated by Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" below the replica, and murmured:
"Yeah, what's the point of being an emperor?"
"Since you became the emperor, your mother is no longer your mother, your father is no longer your father, and even your only friend only wants to assassinate you. Is it really happy to be an emperor like this? When you are about to die, won't you still be like an ordinary person, crying for your mother on the bed? Sigh..."
Hearing Zhang Taihua's sigh, Liu Yuxuan and Beimingyu Xingming both felt that something was wrong with Zhang Taihua. Especially Liu Yuxuan, since she entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, she always felt that there was something different about Zhang Taihua.
It should be noted that for this mission to explore the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the three sects of the Shenzhou Dao Sect should have sent their most elite disciples. For example, the one sent by the Maoshan Sect Shangqing Sect was Master Zhao, who was known as "invincible within three feet of his body". This person's cultivation was so high that he was almost on par with Jikoku Yuichi in the past, which was enough to show how much the Maoshan Sect valued this mission.
Although Liu Yuxuan, who was born in Wudang, was not as good as Zhao Shixia in terms of cultivation, she was also a leader among her peers. In terms of breathing techniques alone, she was no less than the strongest Kocho Shinobu in the Demon Slayer Corps. If she combined Wudang Taoism, even if she fought against the top three of the upper ranks, she might not be without a chance of winning.
However, Longhu Mountain, the leader of the three Taoist sects, only sent a little girl. Although Zhang Taihua is very talented, she is only thirteen years old this year. She is too young and has little experience in Taoism. She may not even be able to become a pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps. This is really strange and abnormal.
In addition, Zhang Taihua has shown incredible knowledge of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor since she entered it, and even knows the gate mechanism of the First Qin Emperor's tomb. This clearly proves that Zhang Taihua's previous life had a close relationship with the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. I think Longhu Mountain also calculated Zhang Taihua's relationship with the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, so she was asked to carry out this mission on behalf of Longhu Mountain.
But the question is, what exactly is the relationship between Zhang Taihua and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?
She knew the Mausoleum of the First Emperor like the back of her hand, and now she was sitting on the throne of the First Emperor, expressing her feelings like an emperor...
Thinking of this, Liu Yuxuan was speechless.
No way?
impossible?
Just when Liu Yuxuan felt that his guess was too bold, Beimingyu Xingming said:
"Little Taoist Zhang Taihua, do you know the breathing method that my Demon Slayer Corps specializes in?"
Hearing Beimingyu Xingming's question, Zhang Taihua immediately recovered from his strange state and asked in confusion:
"Hey, what did I just say? It feels weird?"
At this time, Beimingyu Xingming said again:
"Among the breathing techniques that my Demon Slayer Corps is good at, there is one that is the most special, called the Earth Breathing Technique. This breathing technique is based on Buddhism and can allow practitioners to obtain the blessings of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and have endless supernatural powers. The first form of this Earth Breathing Technique is called: I Am the Only One, which is taken from the name of the Buddha when he came to the world, saying, 'I Am the Only One in Heaven and Earth.'"
Beimingyu Xingming spoke for a long time, Zhang Taihua was confused and hurriedly said:
“Beimingyu-senpai, just tell me what you want to say! You’re beating around the bush and confusing me!”
Hearing this, Beimingyu Xingming nodded and said:
"That's good. I'll be frank. The first move of this Earth Breathing Technique is "I Am the Only One". It is the foundation of all Earth Breathing Techniques. The deeper the Buddhist practice, the stronger the magical power. My Buddhist practice is still shallow, and I can't communicate with others in other worlds. As the only one among all the worlds, I can communicate with souls and awaken the memories of others' past lives."
As he spoke, Beimingyu Xingming came to Zhang Taihua, clasped his hands together and said:
"I think your past life seems to be related to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, so I want to use the Earth Breathing Technique to awaken your past life memories and see if I can find a way to deal with the zombie Lu Sheng. Is that possible?"
After hearing the explanation of Beimingyu Xingming, Zhang Taihua naturally had no reason to disagree and nodded:
"Okay, okay, I also want to know who I was in my previous life."
Since he had obtained Zhang Taihua's permission, Beimingyu Xingming did not hesitate and directly used the Earth Breathing Technique.
The Earth Breathing Technique of Beimingyu Xingming was naturally taught to him by Kocho Shinobu. However, Kocho Shinobu knew nothing about Buddhism, while Beimingyu Xingming was a standard Buddhist. Therefore, after practicing the Earth Breathing Technique, Beimingyu Xingming's cultivation was able to improve by leaps and bounds. Although his strength did not improve much, his various mysterious methods made Kocho Shinobu marvel.
Then, he saw Beimingyu Xingming standing in the hall, with two fingers of his right hand together, chanting the Ksitigarbha Sutra, with Buddha's light shining all over his body. Seeing Beimingyu Xingming suddenly become so majestic, Zhang Taihua did not dare to neglect it and began to concentrate on recalling his past life. Liu Yuxuan below also looked forward to it.
Afterwards, Beimingyu Xingming lightly touched Zhang Taihua's eyebrows with his two fingers, and Zhang Taihua felt a huge amount of memories rushing towards him like a flood.
She first saw a skinny old farmer working in the fields, and then he died of starvation in pain while praying to God during the famine.
Then I saw a woman forcing herself to smile in a brothel, wailing about a mother she had never seen while suffering from syphilis. Finally, she was rolled up on a straw mat and thrown out of the yard by the brothel, where she died in the mud.
Then I saw a strong man wearing bright armor, fighting bloodthirstily on the battlefield. He thought he was about to achieve great success, but he was smashed to pieces by a cannonball.
Just like that, she went from an old farmer to a prostitute, from a soldier to a palace maid, from a scholar to a young woman...
Zhang Taihua kept looking back on his past life. The completely different life made the young Zhang Taihua feel very excited. He thought:
I didn’t expect that I had so many past lives, and they were all quite exciting!
Of course, although he knew that these were his past lives, Zhang Taihua did not have much empathy for these past lives.
Zhang Taihua only felt that she was watching a series of impressive movies when she recalled these past lives. She would be touched by her past life experiences, but she would not think that they were the same person as herself. After all, after reincarnation, all the things in the past life had long since become a thing of the past.
In this constant recall, Zhang Taihua finally saw the most exciting of all his past lives.
It was in the ancient Shenzhou of 2,000 years ago, in the palaces of the Qin Dynasty. Surrounded by a group of Qin soldiers, Zhang Taihua saw a man. That man, like himself now, also sat in the hall, accepting the worship of civil and military officials.
That was his previous life, and he was the real owner of this palace and this mausoleum.
First Emperor!
Seeing the majestic and solemn self in his past life memories, Zhang Taihua couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
Was I the First Emperor in my previous life?
Chapter 152 The First Emperor's Decision
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
Lying on his sickbed, the First Emperor looked at the words engraved on the jade seal and couldn't help but fall into memories.
He recalled his childhood in Zhao State.
At that time, Zhao State had already hated Qin State because of the Battle of Changping. Even though both Qin and Zhao were from the same family, the hatred for the country and family had already driven the people of Zhao crazy. Therefore, as one of the few Qin people who remained in Zhao State, he spent his childhood in hiding and fear.
In order to avoid the possible assassination by the Zhao people, his father followed Lu Buwei and left Handan when he was very young, leaving him and his mother alone. At that time, he often snuggled up to his mother, terrified to face the vicious Zhao people. He watched his mother flatter and please him in various ways, just to help them escape from the dangerous situation.
Of course, his childhood was not without its bright spots.
At that time, Zhao State not only had a deep hatred with Qin State, but also had a bad relationship with the neighboring Yan State. So the people of Zhao not only hated the Qin people, but also hated the Yan people. In fact, compared with the Qin people, they hated the Yan people more. Because no matter how tyrannical Qin State was, at least it was strong enough. But Yan State only knew how to steal and take advantage of Zhao State's defeat to add insult to injury.
It was under such circumstances that he met Yan Dan, a member of the Yan royal family.
Both of them were hostages of the enemy country and were both being excluded in Handan. They sympathized with each other and naturally became friends easily.
Looking back, that should be one of the few happy times in his life. At that time, he and Yan Dan hid in Handan, played in the snow in winter, and made noise in the pond in summer. That feeling was very simple and beautiful. At that time, he was ignorant and would not have thought that in the future he would face life and death with the only best friend in his life.
Later, he left Zhao State and returned to his unfamiliar motherland, the country of tigers and wolves as the people of Zhao called it.
There, he was no longer an ostracized hostage, but a noble in the royal palace. He lived in a magnificent palace, surrounded by beautiful maids and strong guards. He was very happy at the time and thought this place was heaven. But soon, he discovered that this place was not only heaven, but also a cannibalistic purgatory.
He only remembered that the old King of Qin died not long after he returned to Qin.
Then, his father became the King of Qin, and he became the Crown Prince of Qin.
Then a few years later, his father, whom he was not very familiar with, died, and then the 13-year-old boy became the new King of Qin without knowing it.
At that time, he did not understand what this throne was, and he even felt uncomfortable being the King of Qin, because every day he had to wear loose clothes, a tall crown, and sit upright on the throne according to strict requirements, watching the man below who claimed to be his father-in-law giving orders.
Such court meetings occurred from time to time and were extremely complicated and boring.
He simply couldn't understand what the ministers were saying or arguing about. Most of the time, he would sit on the throne pretending to be the king, but in his mind he was thinking about what to eat for lunch today, which maid in the palace was prettier, the fact that the male favorite his mother liked wasn't very good-looking, and why Lao Ai's thing was so big...
All in all, the life of King Qin was so plain and boring.
But gradually, he grew up.
He found that people looked at him with more and more fear, and he began to realize the beauty of power. He began to enjoy the etiquette and vanity of a king. Whenever someone was trembling and treading on thin ice in front of him, the satisfaction from the primitive instinct of human beings made him more and more addicted.
He began to continuously amass power, taking everything for himself like a glutton, and gradually transformed himself into a true king.
But as he became king, he also became more and more lonely.
First, his younger brother rebelled for the throne, and then his mother, who depended on him for everything, also began to covet his throne.
He had known for a long time that his mother and Lao Ai had given birth to an illegitimate child, but he didn't care about this matter at all, because that person was his mother. But when his mother tried to murder him for Lao Ai and the two illegitimate children, he could no longer tolerate it. So after an ignominious palace coup, Lao Ai died, and the two illegitimate children died.
But because that person was his mother, she did not die.
But he knew that when he threw those two evil creatures to death with his own hands, he no longer had a mother.
Then he expelled the man he called Zhongfu.
Then he started a war to annex the world.
For this purpose, his last friend sent an assassin named Jing Ke.
The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, but he knew that from then on, his last friend was gone.
He truly became a king, but there was no warmth or kindness in his life.
……
"You live such a lonely life, why do you still want to become an immortal?"
The girl who appeared beside the sickbed of the First Emperor was about 13 or 14 years old. Although it was the first time he saw her, the First Emperor felt that she was very familiar.
"Live forever and live as long as the heavens." The First Emperor said as a matter of course.
"In the final analysis, it's just fear of death," the girl said.
"Yes," the First Emperor said again as a matter of course.
But after answering, the First Emperor's heart was full of doubts.
Why did you agree so readily?
I am the one and only emperor!
The emperor is high above, looking down on all living beings. How can he be afraid of death?
How can a person who is afraid of death be qualified to be an emperor?
In the midst of all this thought, the girl said:
"So you are just an ordinary person!"
It should have been very angry that the First Emperor was openly said to be just an ordinary person.
But in front of the girl, he didn't feel angry at all. It was as if the person in front of him was not the girl, but another self. When facing himself, there was no need to be pretentious or hide anything.
"Yes, I am just an ordinary person." The First Emperor said frankly:
"I like the feeling of being high above others. I like giving orders as an emperor. I like tall buildings and I like controlling others through power. Even if the price is being alone, I still like it. Because this is what people are like. How many people don't like being an emperor? And how many emperors are willing to give up such a life and die obediently?"
"So you built a magnificent mausoleum, hoping to continue to be the emperor in the underworld, or even to come back from the dead and reign over this world again. And even though you knew Xu Fu was probably a liar, you still let him drive a large ship to the East China Sea to search for the immortal mountain. Even if it cost countless lives, you didn't hesitate." said the girl.
"Yes," the First Emperor nodded.
"People like you are so annoying!" the girl said in disgust.
"No wonder the Qin Dynasty fell apart soon after your death! The people of Qin must have hated you to the core!"
Upon hearing that the Qin Dynasty would perish after his death, the First Emperor fell silent.
He had not imagined that the Great Qin Dynasty, which he had dreamed of lasting for eternity, would disappear shortly after his death.
"Also, it's not you who is buried in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor." The girl continued:
"That Lu Sheng took over your nest after your death, and it was he who finally lay in the mausoleum. This means that your kingdom, your mausoleum, and everything you have will no longer belong to you after your death."
Hearing this, the First Emperor felt even more uncomfortable.
The tomb was robbed, which meant that the last hope of Emperor Qin Shihuang's resurrection was gone.
"I, finally died." He said unwillingly.
"He is dead, but he has also been reincarnated," the girl said.
"Reincarnation?"
Hearing this, the First Emperor looked at the girl and said in surprise:
"Could it be that you are?"
"Yes, I am your reincarnation!" Zhang Taihua said with a smile:
"How about it? Didn't expect it? The great emperor, after reincarnation, turned out to be just a little girl. "
"Of course, your reincarnation is not just me. We were once starving peasants, lowly prostitutes, abandoned scholars, infatuated palace maids, murderous robbers, successful candidates in the imperial examinations... In short, in the past two thousand years, we have had too many identities."
"Why are you telling me this?" the First Emperor asked in confusion.
"I just want to ask you, do you want to be resurrected?" Zhang Taihua stopped laughing and said seriously.
"resurrection?"
"I have recalled everything from my past life. As long as I replace my personality with yours, I will then possess your soul, memory, and personality. Isn't this equivalent to your resurrection from the dead? How about it, are you interested? Of course, the price is that you will become a little girl." Zhang Taihua patted his chest and said.
