Chapter 209 Monsters Eat People, People Eat People!

The crime of deceiving the emperor can be serious or minor, it all depends on the emperor's mood.

Compared with the legendary Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole, in Gu Santong's opinion, beating his son is more cost-effective.

Cheng Shifei scurried away with his head in his arms, and ran out of the hall in the blink of an eye without seeing anyone. Gu Santong also ran out, and the noisy voice of the father and son became smaller and smaller.

"What an undefeated naughty boy, his ability to make jokes is truly superior to others."

Zhuge Zheng, I can't see that Gu Santong was deliberately messing around.

"Let him be."

Chu Yang shook his head and laughed.

"Gu Santong has underestimated His Majesty's magnanimity. However, Cheng Shifei is too stubborn and needs to be strictly disciplined. It is better to place him in Hulong Villa and let Shenhou educate him for a period of time."

Zheng Dongliu smiled maliciously and dumped the trouble of Cheng Shifei on Zhuge Zhengwo in one sentence.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhengyi nodded in agreement, and seemed to have the idea of ​​​​taking Cheng Shifei under his sect, "Cheng Shifei's nature is not bad, but he will go astray if he has no way. If you teach him well, he may not be a pillar." "

"And with Gu Santong's character, he can't even take care of himself, let alone teach him right from wrong."

Zheng Dongliu looked at Zhuge Zhengwo suspiciously, wondering if the old guy took the wrong medicine today. He just accepted a disciple when he said he wanted to. Which of the four famous catchers is not a person with extraordinary talent and character? How can success be compared with wrong?

"The Lord Shen is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. He wants to use right and wrong to tie up Gu Santong, the future great master."

Chu Yang revealed Zhuge Zhengwo's little calculation in one word. In fact, he could also understand that among all the institutions in the Ming Dynasty, the Shenhou Mansion was under the greatest pressure because they faced enemies outside of the human race.

It would be difficult to deal with any one of the demons and monsters alone, but the Shenhou Mansion had to deal with two at the same time. If it weren't for the great master Zhuge Zheng and I, everyone in the Shenhou Mansion would have died long ago.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Yang thought of letting the six sects share some of the pressure for the Shenhou Mansion and let them take over the big monsters wandering in the human world.

The frontal battlefield with the demon clan was left to generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang to face.

In this way, the Shenhou Mansion can deal with the demons with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Shenhou Mansion really needs the Ancient Three Links, for no other reason than exploring the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters without a great master in charge, it is simply nonsense."

"I originally thought about leading a team in person to search for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, but there are still many problems within the Ming Dynasty. One move could affect the whole body, so we really can't leave easily."

Zhuge Zhengwo let out a long sigh, and a look of exhaustion flashed across his face. Chu Yang's cheap emperor brother had been in power for many years. He only focused on balancing the government and the opposition, playing power, and did not do much serious work at all. He had been working hard, Work hard to stabilize the world.

But it’s okay…

Things are changing.

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "It would be better for me to go in person to explore the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters."

"No!"

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"

Zheng Dongliu and Zhuge Zhengwo spoke out to stop him at the same time. Their attitudes were very tough and they would not let Chu Yang put himself in danger no matter what.

"I know that your majesty's martial arts cultivation is rare in the world, but things related to monsters cannot be considered with common sense. Monsters themselves are unreasonable existences."

"Besides, the Monster Tribe was forced to migrate and leave their ancestral land. Unimaginable things must have happened. Moreover, they did not invade the Central Plains at the first time but targeted Japan. This decision itself is somewhat intriguing."

"Previously, the demon clan did not know about your majesty's existence. How many demon kings could I, the great master, stop? At that time, the Ming Dynasty could only rely on millions of cavalry, but their families were gone. Why didn't they choose to give it a try?"

As he spoke, Zhuge Zhengwo had a worried look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "The old minister guessed that they may have thought that the Ming Dynasty would eventually end up with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, so they abandoned this land."

When Zheng Dongliu heard this, his body trembled slightly and his expression became nervous. He had also thought about similar questions, but he never had an answer. Looking at it now, Zhuge Zhengwo's guess was reasonable.

Chu Yang thought for a while and said: "What the Lord Shen said is reasonable, then what do you think the probability is that the demon clan occupying Japan will invade the south?"

Zhuge Zhengyi said: "Animals will naturally look for something to eat when they are hungry. They don't need land, but they will never let go of people. This is their instinct."

Chu Yang nodded and said: "So the demon clan still wants to kill them. If we don't kill them, it means that the lives of the common people are in their hands anytime and anywhere."

Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I still believe that compared to monsters, the threat of monsters is still smaller, and things should be prioritized."

"It's better to put down the rebellion first and then make long-term plans."

Chu Yang smiled and said: "Everything the Lord Shen said makes sense, I can't help but listen..."

Zhuge Zhengwo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, but then he stopped laughing when he heard Chu Yang's next sentence.

"In exchange, I'm going to find the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters."

Zhuge Zheng and I and Zheng Dongliu were anxious again. Why were we saying this back and forth? Other emperors were eager to build a fortress to surround themselves. Why are you always thinking about blowing up the fortress?

"His Majesty……"

"Listen to me first."

Chu Yang knew what they were worried about. The hope of the human race to reverse the situation rested entirely on him, so naturally he was reluctant to put himself in danger.

"I'm not going right away, at least I won't leave until the south is pacified."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "I still have a lot of things to do. Even if you beg me to go now, I won't be able to get away."

Zheng Dongliu and Zhuge Zhenggao looked at each other. They were both afraid that further persuasion would be counterproductive, so they naturally ignored the topic. As long as Chu Yang was not in a hurry to leave, they were sure to persuade the other party to change his mind.

"What can Your Majesty be worried about?" Zhuge Zhengwo quickly changed the subject, "Why don't you tell me about it, my old minister?"

Chu Yang said: "I talked to General Qi last time. Most of the time, we use the corpses of monsters to make weapons and armor, and the rest of the flesh and blood are discarded. I want to think about how to make these useless flesh and blood valuable."

"In this way, the world is bustling with everyone's interests, and the sects in the world will work harder to kill demons and help General Qi and others relieve the pressure."

Zhuge Zheng, I thought Chu Yang was going to do something, but suddenly I felt that he, the emperor, was still young, and the flesh and blood of the demon clan had already been taken care of, but the results were not very good.

Demon clan flesh and blood contains extremely violent demon power, which would be affected by ordinary people if they come in contact with it, let alone eat it. No matter how strong a warrior is, the moment the demon flesh is swallowed, the true energy in the body will conflict with the demon power extremely strongly.

If you add dry firewood and strong oil, the King of Heaven will explode even if he comes!

Another point is that eating monsters is just a matter of ordinary monsters. How can those big monsters in human form be allowed to talk about it?

Zheng Dongliu smiled bitterly and said: "If your Majesty wants to make a fuss about demon meat, I advise you to give up."

Chu Yang had already expected the reaction of the two people. When people face unknown things, they will always become paranoid. They will habitually use their own knowledge as the absolute benchmark and have a certain rejection of new things.

Although some people have tried eating monster meat a long time ago, it is indeed a new and unfamiliar yet familiar thing to Zhuge Zhengwo and Zheng Dongliu.

"You guys have similar reactions to General Qi. Can you please listen to what I have to say?"

Chu Yang shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't want to eat it directly, but use it to make elixirs. Use the art of alchemy to dissolve the demon power in the demon clan's flesh and blood, and turn it into true energy that can be used by humans."

Zhuge Zhengwo was not surprised, but had an expression of "I had expected it a long time ago", "There are many amazing and talented people in Buddhism and Taoism. If you can think of it, they can also think of it."

"Whether you use cinnabar, arsenic, lead stone, amalgam or the like, the effect is the same!"

"It can't dissolve the demonic power in flesh and blood at all!"

Chu Yang was speechless.

The things you mentioned have nothing to do with alchemy. What you are refining are chemical compounds. Those who don’t know better would think you are rubbing explosives with your hands.

"The alchemy you are talking about is not the same thing as mine. Anyway, you will know after I finish practicing it. Don't rush to get it from me when the time comes."

Chu Yang was too lazy to continue explaining to them that things like cultivating immortals were still too advanced for people like Zhuge Zheng and me.

Moreover, his alchemy method is not only the alchemy technique of Shushan School, but also integrates the potion science of the magical world, a serious combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Zheng Dongliu were hesitant to speak. Looking at Chu Yang who was steadfast in his vow, they couldn't say sarcastic words to attack each other.

Rob?

Your Majesty, after you have mastered that thing, it will be difficult to give it away.

Without the two of them saying anything, Chu Yang knew what they were thinking by looking at their expressions, so he waved his sleeves and left alone. He had to refine the elixir no matter what he said these days!

Zheng Dongliu quickly chased after him and escorted Chu Yang back to the Forbidden City.

Only Zhuge Zhengwo and Duan Tianya were left in the hall. The latter had lowered his head and said nothing since just now.

Zhuge Zhengyi glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me, don't bother your mother-in-law."

Duan Tianya took a deep breath and said: "Master Hou, I plan to leave Hulong Villa for a while to find Guihai Yida."

Zhuge Zhengwo frowned and said, "Why are you looking for him? He is no longer from Hulong Villa."

Duan Tianya had no choice but to repeat what Chu Yang had said to him.

"Abidao's three swords? That kind of swordsmanship actually exists..." Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Duan Tianya in surprise, "His Majesty really told you that Guihai's sword risked becoming a demon?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. I can only ask the Marquis to give me some time and let me save him."

"In that case, then you go ahead," Zhuge Zhengga looked at Duan Tianya, who valued love and righteousness, and couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he muttered: "I'll drop by to invite Master Yunque from Yichan Temple and say that I'm the one who asked him to do so. You go."

"Yichen Temple is not subject to incense. It is a hidden temple. The master Yunque who presides there is a Buddhist Vajra. He practices the Mingxin Mantra and is good at transforming inner demons. He has helped many detectives in the Shenhou Mansion."

Duan Tianya excitedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis. If everything goes well during this trip, Tianya will definitely repay Mr. Hou."

Zhuge Zhengmei waved his hand, "There is no need to talk about repayment. I just hope that you will know how to protect yourself when things are impossible. Dragon Protector Villa needs you, and His Majesty needs you even more."

"Tianya understands!" Duan Tianya nodded solemnly. After getting the specific location of Yichan Temple from Zhuge Zhengwo, he left Hulong Villa without stopping and went straight to Yichan Temple.

And the other side.

Chu Yang and Zheng Dongliu still chose to ride back to Beijing, but instead of taking the previous route, they went in a circle. After all, they were in the limelight yesterday and it was not suitable to do it again.

Passing by a mansion, Zheng Dongliu suddenly stopped. Chu Yang turned around and found that he had a look of emotion on his face.

The mansion is very dilapidated, the plaque was smashed down and broken into several pieces, and the word "strict" can be vaguely seen.

Yanfu.

The residence of Yan Song, the former chief minister of the cabinet.

"Time has passed, I didn't expect that the head of the civil service would end up like this..."

Zheng Dongliu sighed. He had always despised Yan Song, a treacherous minister, but at this moment, he inexplicably felt that the lips and teeth would be cold.

Perhaps one day, he would end up with the same fate because of some things.

Since ancient times, there are many loyal officials who did not have a good end.

"Sir Zheng, although I am unreliable, my eyes are still good. I have not fallen to the point of killing loyal officials by mistake. You don't have to worry."

Chu Yang's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and he deliberately teased.

"I dare not."

Zheng Dongliu hurriedly dismounted and was about to kneel down, but was lifted up by Chu Yang with one hand.

"Tell me about you, we have known each other for a while, and we can always tell the difference between jokes and jokes, right?"

Chu Yang looked at this somewhat loyal Jinyiwei commander, and to be honest, he was helpless. The other party was the type of old scholar he disliked getting along with the most, and he was very serious most of the time.

Li Gexiao spent the first half of his life under his influence. His temper was as bad as a stone in the toilet, and he could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

In other words, such a character is most suitable for being a Jinyiwei. Facing power, one must be tough enough.

"Yan Song... How did it turn out?"

Ever since he kicked Yan Song out of the position of Prime Minister that day, Chu Yang has never paid attention to him again, and left it to Li Gexiao to deal with.

Zheng Dongliu said, "Yan Song was stripped of his official hat by you, and he should have returned home to enjoy his old age. Who would have thought that he would be blocked by refugees not long after leaving the city gate."

"The refugees hate Yan Song to the bone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sworn enemies. During the years when he served as the prime minister of the cabinet, he embezzled a lot of disaster relief money, causing other people's families to be broken up."

"The common people knew it well, so when they heard the news of his retirement, they couldn't wait to seek revenge. Generally, high-ranking officials like him would hire guards."

"But no one in the whole world was willing to take his job..."

"Those refugees who were red-eyed just surrounded Yan Song at first, and did not do anything out of the ordinary, but Yan Song did not treat them as human beings, and said things he should not have said without thinking, and ruined his life for nothing. "

"I heard from the constables who arrived at the scene later that Yan Song was eaten alive by refugees, and his body was incomplete."

"Your Majesty, if people are forced into a corner... they will also eat people."

Chu Yang's eyes fell on the dilapidated "Yan Mansion" again, and he sighed: "Which is more terrible, people eating people or monsters eating people? I guess the former is more terrible..."

"As long as the human race strives forward and we don't hesitate to die, the era of monsters eating people will end sooner or later, but what about people eating people?" Zheng Dongliu said blankly: "Day after day, year after year..."
