Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 25 It’s the Emperor’s Fault!

"Who is coming?"

Suddenly, while Liu Jing was still in a daze, a vigilant voice sounded from behind him.

The escorting soldiers beside Liu Jing turned around and saw at a glance a few hermits with fluttering sleeves, who looked like immortals, walking towards them from the side.

"In compliance with His Majesty's order, I am sending Grandson Jing to the Divine Platform to confirm the auspicious sign!"

"Until auspicious signs appear, the grandson of Emperor Jing will not return!"

As soon as the words fell, the leading soldier took out a token, and the several Taoist priests who came over bowed hurriedly, "We will obey your majesty's order!"

The next moment, one of them suddenly shouted in a loud voice:
"Please ask Doctor Gongsun to open the altar of the gods!"

"Open the God's Platform..."

All of a sudden, loud shouts spread far away.

But Liu Jing was stunned...

Doctor Gongsun? Gongsun Qing!

He knew that Liu Che had been searching for hermits all over the world since a long time ago, hoping to find immortals from the outside world.

But the real immortal was not found, but there were many counterfeits.

Among them, the most influential ones are Li Shaojun, Shao Weng, Luan Da, Gongsun Qing, and now Hu Wu Tan He...

Li Shaojun was the immortal that Liu Che had repeatedly talked about and seen with his own eyes. The elixir recipe that was now said to be able to restore youth and bring the dead back to life was left by him.

Shao Weng and Luan Da were both liars. One deceived Emperor Liu Che into believing he could see a dead beauty, and the other even married a princess. But in the end, both were discovered and killed by Emperor Liu Che.

Gongsun Qing is the most legendary among them.

Nowadays, there are pavilions, towers, and fairy palaces in Shanglin Garden, including Jianzhang Palace and even the tallest one outside, which is said to be able to welcome "immortals".

All of this was due to his deceiving Emperor Wu of Han.

This man did have some abilities and once tricked Emperor Liu Che into going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

He also lied to Emperor Wu of Han during a sacrifice in Donglai, saying that he had found the footprints of a fairy giant. In the end, even though Emperor Wu of Han found out that he was lying to him, he still lived well.

While thinking...

"Doctor Gongsun has arrived."

Liu Jing turned around and looked behind him.

The man had a long beard, clear eyes and eyebrows, and an elegant temperament. He really looked like an immortal.

"Everyone, please follow me..."

As he spoke, he walked forward, and Liu Jing slowly followed.

The Shenming Terrace is fifty zhang high. According to the calculation method of the current Han Dynasty, one zhang is approximately equal to 2.3 meters in later generations.

A building that is over a hundred meters high!

The closer Liu Jing got, the more shocked he was.

As he came along, he saw the outside world was full of broken earthen walls, most of which had long been abandoned...but here, he saw buildings that would be considered high-rise buildings in later generations.

How was this built?
How much manpower and material resources were consumed?
Outside Shanglin Garden, it was like a hell on earth. The people were starving and clothed. Many victims were alive one moment and dead the next.

But in Shanglinyuan, the royal garden, there is a fairyland-like scene, full of joy and happiness.

Liu Jing had not experienced these, but just walking this road gave him a sense of absurdity, as if he was going from death to life, from hell to heaven.

Soon, a fifty-meter-high building arrived.

Liu Jing placed the altar under his feet, and in front of him there indeed appeared what was described in the rumors: a gigantic golden-bronze hand that stretched toward the sky, its fingers seeming to touch the clouds.

Liu Jing looked at it carefully again and found that it was mostly burnt black.

With so much gold and copper placed so high, it's no wonder it was struck by lightning.

Liu Jing complained in his heart, and looked again. In his palm, he held a copper bowl. It seemed that he was really receiving the fairy dew from the clouds.

However, in such hot weather, the copper bowl is empty, where does the elixir come from?

Liu Jing was standing at the "wrist" place. At this moment, he was high in the sky, and the entire city of Chang'an was in his sight.

There are many places in Shanglin Garden that are lush and green. There are pavilions and palaces everywhere, and tiny people as small as ants are running around.

Looking further away, there are no lush green ancient forests and mountains, only barren land with no vitality.

"You guys stay here and watch. Don't send anyone to bring you water or food."

"Yes!"

The noisy sound gradually faded away.

Under the sky, it seemed that Liu Jing was the only one left.

"Is it auspicious?"

At this moment, Liu Jing regained his composure, recited these words silently, and then slowly sat down.

His original plan was to use auspicious signs to meet His Majesty.

If it is the best case scenario, Liu Che was deceived by the traitor. He just needs to meet His Majesty and tell the truth. Maybe Liu Che will react and punish the traitor. He will not talk about witchcraft anymore and clear the Prince's Palace.

However, this idea is too naive.

When he started to speak clearly and linked Jiang Chong to Lady Gouyi and Hu Wu Tan He, anyone would probably be wary.

But Liu Che didn’t!
She didn't know that he was genuine, and because of the "fake auspicious sign" she sent, she didn't believe what she said, and subconsciously thought that she was exonerating the Prince's Palace.

Or... did he just regard "Yao" as God's will? He did it on purpose!

of course.

For Liu Jing now, these thoughts are no longer important.

The only important thing is...

Legendary, really useful!
That being the case...

If you can't beat them, join them. Just as he had thought at the beginning, he wanted to use "auspiciousness" to fight "witchcraft". Now, he wanted to make the legend...

Really appear in the world!

He wants to make this auspicious sign a reality completely!

He wanted everyone to know:
He is the great man, the greatest, the auspicious sign that can change the world! ...

"What's more, the people of the Han Dynasty... also need a rain of blessings!"

Liu Jing muttered silently, and at the same time, the lucky coin with a light golden lotus appeared in front of him.

At this moment, because of the previous confrontation with Liu Che in the hall, its shape and style have undergone a second change!
Liu Jing looked around and saw that the lotus had not yet bloomed, so it was not the best time for it to bloom.

But now, its surface is still changing, and new lotus buds are still appearing.

In other words, the afterglow of the confrontation with Liu Che is still continuing today, and officials are still discussing it in thrilling terms.

Even Liu Che himself might still be angry.

But, it’s not enough!

He once secretly raised questions in his heart, would they all come true? But in the end, the answers he got were all no.

Therefore, more luck is needed to achieve the final transformation.

But he is now on the altar and can't go anywhere.

So we must find a way to accumulate more luck points.

"Do you have an incense table and candles?"

Suddenly, Liu Jing raised his head and looked at the soldiers who were guarding him at the bottom of the stairs of the altar.

The two wondered...

Liu Jing said angrily: "The auspicious sign bestowed upon my Han Dynasty has now been delivered to Your Majesty. Today, Your Majesty has sent me to the Divine Platform to inform the heaven and earth and ask for a rain of blessings!"

"You have no incense table or candles, how can I pay homage to heaven and earth?"

what?
Hearing Liu Jing's serious words, the two soldiers were stunned.

They only knew that, according to His Majesty's orders, they should imprison Liu Jing here, deprive him of water and food, and wait until he died of starvation and thirst, and then their mission would be accomplished.

But no one told you to do it for real.

"Why don't you go?" Liu Jing frowned. "If you anger the heaven, this auspicious sign will become your disaster!"

As soon as these words were spoken, one of the soldiers suddenly felt a headache. Being involved in this incident of "royal entanglement" was bad enough. If one person was not dealt with properly, the whole family would be blamed.

He didn't want to cause trouble, "Go downstairs and pass the message."

Soon, one of the sergeants hurried down.

After a while, he hurried back with incense and candles, and brought with him the alchemist he had just met - Gongsun Qing.

The latter was also very surprised when he heard it, and this time he came here with the intention of watching the fun.

When Liu Jing saw him coming, he didn't say anything. He just stood in front of the wrist and placed the incense and candles in front of the copper bowl.

He took it in his hand and asked the sergeant next to him to light it.

Then, he formally held it in his palm and looked up at the sky!
"God bless you!"

The next moment, Liu Jing glanced at Gongsun Qing and the others...

Then the voice was sonorous, and every word echoed between the sky.

"Now, the emperor of the Han Dynasty believes in witchcraft, desires immortality, builds large-scale projects, and abuses the people's power, causing the heaven and earth to be angry, and droughts and locust plagues are frequent..."

Just this sentence.

Suddenly, Gongsun Qing, who had just been watching the fun, first stood there in a daze, and then his face changed drastically.

"How dare the emperor's grandson...?"

He didn't even finish his words before he ran away, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

But seeing this, how could Liu Jing let him get away? One more person would mean one more mouth to turn to, so it would be best to take the message to the emperor.

Thinking of this, a louder voice was already echoing between heaven and earth.

"Now, the Han Dynasty has a thousand miles of barren land, rivers have dried up, grain production has decreased, grass and trees have withered, farms and houses have been abandoned, and there are starving people everywhere, countless deaths and injuries, and the people are exchanging their own children for food!"

"The people of the world are living in misery!"

At this moment, Liu Jing’s mind flashed with the scenes he encountered on the way to Shenmingtai.

Then he said directly: "This is all the fault of the emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Qing's expression became filled with fear and horror.

At that moment, he no longer dared to run away, but opened his hands, stomped his feet repeatedly and said angrily:

"What are you still standing there for? Go and report to His Majesty! Go and report to His Majesty!"

If one of the three of them deliberately concealed these words and something happened, I'm afraid no one would survive.

When Liu Jing saw this, he smiled coldly.

Then he looked up at the sky again, and this time, his expression was extremely serious.

And also made great aspirations!
"But how can the common people be blamed for the emperor's fault?"

"To save the people of the Han Dynasty from danger, I, Liu Jing, swear to heaven and earth..."

"From now on, I will let the emperor explain my mistakes before the people of the world!"

boom!
It seemed like something had completely exploded in my mind.

At this moment, Gongsun Qing behind him suddenly sat on the ground, his eyes empty, as if he had completely lost his mind.

He could only shout in his heart: Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what did you send to the altar?
But at this moment, Liu Jing didn't care about him.

Instead, his final words have spread throughout the heavens and the earth!
"If the heavens respond..."

"Now I am at the Divine Platform... making a petition to Heaven and Earth!"

"For our great man, may the rain of blessings fall upon us!"
