"What about you?"
"The personality disappears, but the memories become a part of you."
"Isn't that equivalent to death?"
"Yes." Zhang Taihua nodded.
"Why? Are you willing to sacrifice your life so openly? Just to revive me?" The First Emperor asked in confusion:
"Shouldn't everyone be afraid of death?"
"Indeed, I am afraid of death too." Zhang Taihua said:
"But compared to death, I am more afraid that Shenzhou will be destroyed. But I also know that I am not the material to save the country. So I thought, if I were you, you would definitely be able to do something for Shenzhou! After all, you are the first emperor, you are the first and only emperor!"
"Yeah……"
Maybe for a moment, maybe for eternity.
Looking at the jade seal in his hand engraved with "Mandate from Heaven, May you live long and prosper", he examined it with affection, then slowly put it down.
"Forget it, just die."
"well? 』
Hearing the Emperor's answer, Zhang Taihua was surprised:
"You really don't want to be resurrected? This is what you've always dreamed of! Or do you think my body is just that of a little girl and doesn't fit your dignity as the first emperor?"
"They are all dead, how can there be any dignity?" The First Emperor shook his head and said:
"I just suddenly realized a simple truth: people will die eventually. Imagine if I had accepted this fact earlier, instead of building a mausoleum and seeking immortality, the Qin Dynasty would not have perished in the second generation! We have already learned a lesson, so we naturally cannot make the same mistake a second time. So it is better for the dead to die, so that the living can move forward better."
After hearing the First Emperor's answer, Zhang Taihua was stunned.
"The country is gone, the mausoleum is gone, my lifelong pursuit of immortality is nothing but a joke. If that's the case, why should I come back to life and bring disaster to the world again!" With a self-deprecating smile, the First Emperor shook his head and said:
"But……"
Zhang Taihua wanted to dissuade him, but the First Emperor said:
"Besides, every era has its protagonist. I believe that China will not have only one first emperor. Someone will definitely stand up to save China. We who are from the past should stay in the past."
Looking at the First Emperor like this, Zhang Taihua suddenly realized something.
"Because you are the emperor, right?"
"The emperor not only has supreme glory, but also has to shoulder the responsibility of the country and the nation. You know that your resurrection may not be a good thing for Shenzhou. So you would rather become a memory in my reincarnation than be resurrected again."
"Even if I am just an ordinary person at heart, even if I am terrified of death, even if I dream of immortality. But an emperor is an emperor, and being an emperor means shouldering responsibilities. For the future of China, even if there is a chance to be resurrected from the dead, I can only choose to accept death calmly."
……
In the main hall of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Zhang Taihua slowly opened his eyes.
Just now, with the help of the Earth Breathing Technique of Beimingyu Xingming, she recalled the memories of her past life. Among these past life memories, she specifically found the First Emperor and asked him if he wanted to be resurrected. As a result, the First Emperor's answer was beyond Zhang Taihua's expectations.
This emperor who had been seeking immortality all his life accepted his death calmly after his death. Facing such a First Emperor, even though Zhang Taihua knew that he was her previous life, she still felt strange.
The First Emperor died after all, and Zhang Taihua, his reincarnation, was just another person after all.
Just when Zhang Taihua had some realization, Kocho Shinobu, who was fighting outside, suddenly appeared in the hall. She was panting and her clothes were covered with sweat. It was obvious that she had reached her limit in the battle with Lu Sheng.
After appearing in the hall, Kocho Shinobu didn't waste any words and went straight to the throne of the First Emperor on the high platform of the hall. After searching on the table in front of the throne, Kocho Shinobu finally found what she was looking for.
It was a scroll of silk imperial edict, and the edict written on it was the will of the First Emperor ordering Lu Sheng to be fully responsible for the construction of the mausoleum. And on this scroll of imperial edict, Shinobu Kocho clearly felt the breath of blood demon magic.
Sure enough!
Seeing this, Butterfly Shinobu was overjoyed.
Although Lu Sheng could use the power of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, he was not the First Emperor after all. Even if this mausoleum was built by Lu Sheng himself, he could not openly control the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in his own hands. Therefore, the method Lu Sheng adopted was to indirectly control the Mausoleum of the First Emperor through the imperial edict issued by the First Emperor.
Therefore, as long as the imperial edict is destroyed, Lu Sheng will no longer be able to rely on the power of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and Shinobu Kocho will have the possibility of defeating the opponent.
Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho swung the Sun Blade in her hand fiercely, and the imperial edict turned into ashes and disappeared.
Then, the connection between the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and Lu Sheng disappeared, and the Flame Vermilion Bird, which was originally controlled by Lu Sheng, suddenly disappeared in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses that had been attacking everyone under Lu Sheng's control also stopped at this moment.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng in the palace was shocked.
Outside the palace, Zhao Shixia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Terracotta Warriors stopped attacking. Around him, there was a small mountain of debris from tens of thousands of Terracotta Warriors. It turned out that in less than half an hour, Zhao Shixia had already killed most of the Terracotta Warriors inside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
Chapter 153 The Emperor's Dream
Feeling that the temperature outside was gradually dropping, Shinobu Kocho breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the power of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Lu Sheng is no longer the nearly invincible person he once was.
Just as she relaxed for a moment, a loud noise came from the hall. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Lu Sheng's twisted and deformed body had directly broken through the roof of the hall, and fell down from above along with the debris of the house.
Oh no! Seeing Lu Sheng coming here suddenly, Hu Die could not bear to be negligent. The Sun Wheel Sword in his hand suddenly turned red, and he rushed to Lu Sheng in an instant, slashing towards Lu Sheng's neck.
Lu Sheng was originally a nearly insane zombie, and now that he had lost the blessing of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, his mind was further weakened, and he had turned into a monster that only knew how to kill. Facing Kocho Shinobu's Nichirin Sword, he did not dodge, but instead reached out and stabbed Kocho Shinobu's heart. He was determined to kill a powerful enemy like Kocho Shinobu, even if it meant being beheaded.
Facing such a crazy Lu Sheng, Kocho Shinobu would naturally not die with him. As she approached Lu Sheng, Kocho Shinobu suddenly emitted a light golden light.
The breath of earth, the shape of land, the removal of obstacles, the power of divine feet!
With the help of the speed provided by the Earth Breathing Technique, Kocho Shinobu narrowly avoided Lu Sheng's fatal blow. But Lu Sheng did not stop there. At this moment, his mind was already half-dead, and the only thought in his mind was to kill Kocho Shinobu, the bastard who ruined his good deeds!
Under such extreme will, Lu Sheng's body was further distorted. He was barely maintaining his human form, but now he was completely transformed into a pale monster. His hair continued to grow, and a pale tail grew on his tailbone. His eyes had turned blood red, and his entire face became narrow and twisted, terrifying and hideous.
Obviously, at this moment, Lu Sheng was more like a ferocious beast than a human being!
After the change, Lu Sheng's aura became more violent, and he no longer had any humanity. He looked at Kocho Shinobu not far away, and his huge mouth slowly opened, revealing a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
Seeing Lu Sheng's change, Liu Yuxuan, who had always dealt with zombies, exclaimed:
"Dragonization? This guy, is he trying to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven?"
After hearing Liu Yuxuan's reminder, Shinobu Kocho realized that the transformed Lu Sheng really looked like an incompletely evolved dragon.
Then I heard Zhang Taihua say:
"We must not let him completely transform into a dragon, or else no one in this world will be able to cure him!"
As soon as Zhang Taihua finished speaking, Lu Sheng, who had already transformed into a half-dragon man, attacked again. At this time, he was faster, stronger, and his explosive power was far superior to that of Kocho Shinobu. In the case of the sudden attack, Kocho Shinobu, who was exhausted, did not even have time to perform the breathing method, and was directly knocked out of the hall.
Afterwards, Lu Sheng didn't care about the people who were still in the hall, and rushed out of the hall directly, intending to kill Kocho Shinobu completely. Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded when they saw Lu Sheng's performance. Liu Yuxuan said:
"After being nurtured in a Feng Shui treasure land like the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor for two thousand years, Lu Sheng has accumulated too much spiritual power in his body. Even without the blessing of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, as long as he fully exerts the power in his body, no one in this world will be his opponent."
Hearing this, Zhang Taihua said in a panic:
"What should we do? Are we just going to stay here and die?"
Hearing Zhang Taihua's words, Liu Yuxuan couldn't help but think of how Kochi Shinobu had just destroyed the imperial edict to break the connection between Lu Sheng and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. He immediately thought:
Since destroying the imperial edict can sever Lu Sheng's connection with the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, can we also use a new imperial edict to allow another person to receive the blessing of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuxuan hurriedly searched around the throne in the hall. Soon, she found an unwritten silk imperial edict. Seeing that there was no pen or ink around, Liu Yuxuan bit her finger and wrote on the imperial edict with her own blood:
The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Grant the power of the Emperor's mausoleum to Hu Die Ren. I decree this!
After finishing writing, Liu Yuxuan looked at Zhang Taihua beside him.
Without any further explanation, and regardless of Zhang Taihua's puzzled look, Liu Yuxuan directly cut Zhang Taihua's palm, stained Zhang Taihua's blood with the imitation seal of the imperial seal, and then pressed the seal hard against the imperial edict.
Looking at the seal that left the words "Ordered by Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" on the imperial edict, Liu Yuxuan thought to himself:
Although Junior Sister Zhang and the First Emperor are two different people, the connection between the past life and the present life must still exist. Therefore, as the reincarnation of the First Emperor, Junior Sister Zhang's blood is likely to resonate with the First Emperor's Mausoleum. As long as Miss Ren can get the blessing of the First Emperor's Mausoleum like Lu Sheng just did, even if Lu Sheng succeeds in his transformation, he will not be powerless!
While Liu Yuxuan was writing the imperial edict, Kocho Shinobu, who was knocked away by Lu Sheng, also landed on the square outside the hall. Thanks to Tamamonomae's strength and Zhao Shixia's support in the hall, Kocho Shinobu was not seriously injured. But she was panting and obviously did not have the strength to fight against Lu Sheng at this moment.
Similar to Shinobu Kocho, Master Zhao had been fighting with the Terracotta Warriors for more than half an hour, and his physical strength was also greatly depleted. So when he saw the half-dragon Lu Sheng, Master Zhao felt a chill in his heart, knowing that today was probably not a good day!
While Shinobu Kocho and Master Zhao were gasping for breath, Lu Sheng's body was undergoing further evolution.
His mouth gradually bulged, and long beards grew at the corners of his mouth. Light scales also appeared on his skin. His body became more and more slender, and two short horns grew on his head. At this time, Lu Sheng looked like the Dragon King in a mythological drama, giving people a terrifying majesty.
Not only that, along with the changes in his body, Lu Sheng's body also slowly floated up from the ground. Obviously, the dragon transformation brought Lu Sheng even more terrifying power. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most terrifying monster in the world.
Has it evolved further?
Seeing Lu Sheng's deformation again, Kocho Shinobu was already somewhat desperate. She felt that unless she had the strength of Uchiha Izumi in the Naruto world, there was no possibility of defeating the opponent.
Just as Shinobu Kocho was thinking this, the night-shining pearl above the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor suddenly released light. Feeling this light gathering towards her body, Shinobu Kocho suddenly felt as if she had merged with the mausoleum!
After just a moment's thought, Shinobu Kocho realized the truth of the matter.
So that's how it is. Someone used the First Emperor's imperial edict to transfer the power of the First Emperor's Mausoleum to me!
Thinking of this, another doubt arose in Shinobu Kocho's heart:
That's not right. The First Emperor has been dead for two thousand years. How could he issue an imperial decree to grant me power now?
Is it true that this world is like some rumors say, that the First Emperor is not actually dead?
Although she still had doubts in her heart, Shinobu Kocho did not hesitate at all. She was surrounded by bright starlight, and with a casual wave of the Sun Blade in her hand, the starlight around her turned into a silver-white Great Wall, which shone with the Night Pearl above, encircling the half-human, half-dragon Lu Sheng.
Breathing of the Stars·Type Twelve·Emperor's Seat City·Barrier on all sides!
Among the three enclosures and four symbols, the four symbols represent the famous four spirits of heaven. They are the Azure Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermillion Bird in the south, and the Black Tortoise in the north. The three enclosures are the Tianshi Enclosure, which symbolizes the Great Wall of Heaven, the Taiwei Enclosure, which symbolizes the rules of law, and the Ziwei Enclosure, which symbolizes the imperial court. Obviously, in terms of symbolic meaning, the status of the three enclosures is higher than that of the four symbols.
As a star breathing method based on the Three Enclosures and Four Symbols, the sword skills that symbolize the Three Enclosures are naturally much stronger than the sword skills that symbolize the Four Symbols. Even Kocho Shinobu, with the blessing of Tamamonomae's power, cannot perform this level of sword skills. Only with the blessing of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor can she perform the highest level of the secrets of all breathing methods.
Facing this starlight wall constructed by the Star Breathing Technique, the half-human, half-dragon zombie Lu Sheng clearly felt fear. Not only was he afraid of the power of the Star Breathing Technique, but he was also afraid of the breath of the First Emperor's Mausoleum that was carried by this breath. Because this breath reminded him of a person, the high and mighty First Emperor!
Impossible, how could you have his strength? He should be dead, I crushed his body to ashes with my own hands!
Lu Sheng wanted to question Kocho Shinobu like this, but as a half-human, half-dragon, he had obviously lost his basic ability to communicate. So when he finished speaking, Kocho Shinobu only heard a hysterical dragon roar.
"What a monster!"
Looking at Lu Sheng in front of her who was still evolving and seemed to be turning into a real dragon, Shinobu Kocho began to perform a new breathing method.
Breathing of the Stars·Type Thirteen·Five Emperors Taiwei·Unify the Laws and Establish Rules!
After the Tianshiyuan, which symbolizes the Great Wall, surrounded Lu Sheng's body, the Taiweiyuan, which symbolizes the majesty of the law, also shone brightly. Under the blessing of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the time around Lu Sheng was distorted. Lu Sheng, who was originally evolving rapidly, seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and could not move.
Seeing that she had trapped Lu Sheng through the Star Breathing Technique, Shinobu Kocho was slightly relieved. At this moment, Master Zhao on the side kept drawing in the air and writing various talismans.
Illusory talismans surrounded him, dyeing the surroundings golden. When the number of talismans reached the required number, Zhao Shixia, who was covered in sweat, forced himself to gather these thousands of talismans together and condensed them into a golden talisman sword. There were two seal characters on the hilt of the sword. Hu Die Ren took a curious look and saw that the two characters were:
Zhu Xian!
Wow, your Maoshan Sect is worthy of being called the Shangqing Sect, you even have Zhu Xian?
Of course, Shinobu Kocho also knew that this Zhuxian Sword was not the same as that Zhuxian Sword. The purpose of the Maoshan Sect creating the Zhuxian Sword in the Demon Slayer World was not to kill some illusory Daluo immortals, but to deal with those who became immortals through corpse transformation.
It should be known that after the zombies are transformed into corpses, they jump out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements, and are almost immortal. If such a life remains in the human world, the human world must have corresponding means to check and balance it. Otherwise, if the corpse-transmuted immortals start to cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
As a means to kill the corpse-released immortal, the difficulty of refining the talisman sword is self-evident. Zhao Shixia's strength is no less than that of Jiguo Yuanyi in the past, but he can only condense one sword. However, even if there is only one sword, it is enough to deal with Lu Sheng who has not yet truly transformed into a dragon!
Then Shinobu Kocho saw Master Zhao point with both hands, and the golden talisman-killing sword flew straight towards Lu Sheng in the distance.
At this time, Lu Sheng was trapped in the Star Breathing Technique. Even though he felt the threat of the Talisman Immortal Sword, he could not dodge at all. He could only watch his body being pierced by the Talisman Immortal Sword. Then, thousands of talismans suddenly exploded in his body, constantly dissipating the power in his body.
no no……
Feeling his life slipping away under the attack of the Zhu Xian Sword, Lu Sheng shouted unwillingly.
He still wants to be the emperor, he still wants to be the ancestor dragon, he still wants to be immortal, how can he die here!
Perhaps Lu Sheng's struggle had worked, or perhaps Master Zhao was unable to unleash the true power of the Immortal Sword. Just before Lu Sheng's body was about to collapse, the Immortal Sword suddenly turned into streaks of light and disappeared, along with Kocho Shinobu's Star Breathing Technique, which gradually dissipated.
Lu Sheng, who had managed to escape, fled madly, while Kocho Shinobu followed him silently, looking for an opportunity to kill him. During this chase, Lu Sheng walked into the main hall of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. He saw the throne in the main hall, and his scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
Everyone present saw the monster groaning and groaning like a dog, crawling towards the throne of the First Emperor. Under everyone's gaze, Lu Sheng ran to the high platform of the hall and carefully looked up at the throne. He looked up like a dog or a thief, and it seemed that the First Emperor was still sitting on the throne.
Finally, Lu Sheng saw a person who gave him the same feeling as the First Emperor.
Of course, that person was not the First Emperor.
She is Zhang Taihua. Although she is the reincarnation of the First Emperor, she is not the First Emperor after all.
Looking at the ridiculous Lu Sheng, Zhang Taihua suddenly patted the throne beside him and asked curiously:
"Do you really want to sit in this position?"
Lu Sheng did not answer in words, he just kept nodding like a pug.
"If you want, then sit down!"
