Chapter 1 The Sudden Change of Style

The painting style seemed to change abruptly at this moment. Zhou Ze felt that his body was completely out of his control. This feeling was very similar to when he was controlled by Ying Gou, but he was still able to maintain absolute clarity, which was very different from before.

He hadn't completely broken through the illusion before because he was worried about Yingying inside and wanted to pull Yingying out with him.

But now,

all around,

it was pitch black,

a black dyed with despair,

filled with a kind of helplessness and sadness, like a wonderful performance coming to an end, making people sigh.

Zhou Ze looked around and finally chose to close his eyes.

He finally decided to break through here. He wanted to get himself out first. If he continued to immerse himself, he was worried that something unexpected would happen in reality.

If viewed from the audience's perspective,

"Myth" is indeed a beautiful love story.

"Through countless ages, only love is the eternal myth, the tide rises and falls, and the true love agreement will never be regretted..."

This song was once popular all over the country.

But if you really put yourself into this dreamlike situation as the protagonist, you wouldn't think it was so beautiful. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't go looking for Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, but would go to a psychologist to see if you were sick.

But,

just as Zhou Ze was about to forcibly break through the illusion,

in the darkness in front of him,

light appeared.

Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes,

He saw a door,

with dazzling light shining through the door.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Ze still walked forward and pushed the door open.

Lawyer An was good at illusions and had told Zhou Ze about this. In dreams, if you are having a good dream, when you realize it is a dream, you will wake up quickly.

To prolong this dream, the easiest way is to see if there are any manhole covers or other things you can crawl into nearby. Crawling in often forms a psychological suggestion that allows the dream to last longer.

Illusions are derived from this, and the essence is the same, only the forms of expression are different.

Although being guided to open the door seemed to imply a greater crisis, Zhou Ze still pushed the door open.

Behind the door,

were rows of bronze pillars,

with rusty iron chains hanging on the pillars,

filled with a desolate atmosphere.

Around, the other pillars were empty, only the one directly in front of Zhou Ze was still wrapped in a skeleton.

As Zhou Ze approached,

green light appeared in the eyes of the skeleton, with a terrifying strangeness.

The skeleton stretched out its hand,

pointing at Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze remained silent,

and then,

slowly shook his head.

Although there were no words, it seemed as if they had gone through thousands of words.

One was begging,

the other was refusing.

The skeleton was dejected, and the light in its eye sockets began to dim, but soon, it began to struggle frantically. Even the positions of the other empty pillars began to show blurry black shadows swaying.

Zhou Ze understood where this was,

perhaps,

here,

would also be his final destination.

Refusing at this time seemed too unkind.

They were all dogs,

why be so anxious to harm each other?

But when did Boss Zhou's behavior really follow human relationships?

Sorry,

he was an orphan since he was a child,

He really didn't understand this, and didn't want to understand it.

This was his body, and this was his life,

others,

even Ying Gou back then,

Zhou Ze would not allow him to arbitrarily change or criticize it.

However,

perhaps because Zhou Ze refused too simply, it caused group dissatisfaction. When Zhou Ze wanted to break through the illusion and go out, he found that on the surrounding dense pillars, those originally rusty chains suddenly rose up and covered the top, as if they were actively reinforcing this place, making it impossible for him to wake up quickly.

"You guys are really united."

Zhou Ze took a deep breath,

at this time,

he really couldn't break through the illusion in an instant,

and even the scenery around him began to transform rapidly.

The darkness began to disappear,

all around,

flickering lights appeared.

A chain extended from an unknown place and locked his body. After everything was clear, Zhou Ze found himself tied to a pillar.

Without the ancient simplicity and grandeur of a bronze pillar,

just a very thick wooden stake,

Looking up,

this should be a tent.

The pipa bones had been pierced, and even his feet had been pierced by iron hooks.

It felt a bit like a beggar version of Jesus being nailed to the cross.

"Hua!"

The tent was lifted open,

Madam Bai, with bloodstains on her body, rushed in, looking at herself tied and nailed to the wooden stake, Madam Bai's eyes were filled with tears.

"Foster father..."

She was really sad,

but Zhou Ze felt a little tired,

He was thinking about how to get rid of the shackles and wake up as soon as possible.

"Even if the brothers and sisters know that this is the Qing demons' conspiracy, we are still willing to come and save you. Without the Heavenly King, the Heavenly Kingdom can continue to exist.

Without you, the Heavenly Kingdom really has no hope!"

From a historical point of view,

if Hong Xiuquan and the others, who had completed the task of lighting the first fire and the divine stick, had collectively died after the uprising, maybe the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could have really succeeded and swept the country directly.

It's unrealistic to shout slogans like "Expel the Tartars and restore China", but the possibility of the Qing court's rule being ended decades earlier is still very high.

The Qing court was so corrupt at the time, and even experienced the coup d'état between Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong, but at least it understood one thing, that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must be suppressed unconditionally, even at the cost of giving power to Han officials.

On the other hand, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and other contemporary talents emerged in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they could only reluctantly continue their lives with a high-level that was even more corrupt than the Qing court.

Zhou Ze began to break free from the chains,

in fact,

what he was breaking free from was not this chain,

but the chain above.

Tie Hanhan (Iron Dumb) fell into a deep sleep, and obviously some guys began to become restless.

Now that,

even Lawyer An could exclaim that Li Xiucheng and his boss were the same kind of dog,

If Zhou Ze still didn't know what the relationship between himself and the loyal King Li Xiucheng was, then he would have lived in vain.

People often say that the bonds of the previous life are often used to symbolize that tragic love, but Boss Zhou has no expectation or urgency for his previous life.

It's just Ying Gou's former gatekeeper, the former former gatekeeper, and the former former former gatekeeper.

He was very annoyed now,

If it was just Madam Bai's means, it would be fine,

Obviously in his body,

there was something restless stirring,

In the days when Tie Hanhan (Iron Dumb) was not around, many guys who hadn't even noticed whether they really existed before seemed to start taking liberties!

Outside the tent,

there were bursts of shouts of killing.

Heads are rewards,

military merit is the ladder to promotion,

The improvement of the Xiang Army's combat effectiveness and its subsequent decline are actually the same reason.

Any army, fighting on the front line, and the officers buying houses and land in the rear, making a fortune while fighting, is destined to not become a truly lasting army.

Right now,

Tianjing (Nanjing) has just been breached,

taking advantage of the inertia of this army,

The commander formulated this scheme to attract the remnants of the Taiping Army to rescue them.

Knowing that it was a trick,

but the remnants of the Taiping Army had no choice but to bite the bullet and break through!

It was extremely difficult for Madam Bai to get here, and now, given the situation of "Li Xiucheng" in front of her, it was almost a luxury for her to take him away.

Many times, knowing that it is impossible, but still doing it,

is not for the purpose of complete success, but just to make oneself feel at ease.

"Foster father, where is the he you mentioned? Why didn't he come to save you? When the city was breached, why didn't he save you and escape?"

Madam Bai seemed to be questioning,

and her tone was also changing.

Although Hong Xiuquan started his career as a divine stick, the senior generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not believe this, otherwise Yang Xiuqing would not have claimed to be the Heavenly Father descending and forcing Hong Xiuquan to kneel down and admit his mistakes and beat him.

Madam Bai had been skeptical about the person Li Xiucheng had told her about in her dream.

Now,

Tianjing (Nanjing) was breached,

the Loyal King was captured,

almost a dead end,

She no longer believed the previous words, only thinking that it was her foster father's excuse to comfort herself and let herself leave Tianjing (Nanjing) before the city was breached.

Zhou Ze was very confused,

Why didn't Tie Hanhan (Iron Dumb) take action back then?

Why don't you ask him?

You ask me, how would I know?

The shouts of killing outside became clearer and closer.

Madam Bai took a few steps forward,

came to Zhou Ze,

lowered her head,

"Foster father..."

What are you going to do?

"The Heavenly Father will protect you."

After saying this,

Madam Bai raised her head,

opened her mouth,

and bit directly at Zhou Ze's chest!

This bite was really hard,

the pain was still very clear,

Zhou Ze took a breath of cold air,

"Hua la!"

A piece of flesh was bitten off by Madam Bai,

She cried,

while swallowing mouthfuls.

"Foster father, Wan'er has no way to take you away. Wan'er doesn't want to watch foster father being sent to the Qing demons' capital to be insulted.

Wan'er wants to integrate foster father into her own body, so that foster father can be in Wan'er's body,

forever!"

"......" Zhou Ze.

Are you freaking kidding me!

"Ah!!!"

Another bite,

and then another bite immediately,

Boss Zhou was really in so much pain that he couldn't breathe this time,

At the same time, I was shocked to think,

In history, Zeng Guoquan did not send Li Xiucheng to Beijing for a parade, but directly executed him in a near "lingchi" (death by a thousand cuts) way. This matter has always been a question in the historical circle.

Zeng Guoquan was impulsive and headstrong, but not brainless.

Now history is replaying before his eyes,

Damn it,

it was Zeng Guoquan who wanted to send it but couldn't,

because Li Xiucheng was forcibly killed by Madam Bai,

Bitten to death bit by bit!

Madam Bai, with her face covered in blood, grinned as she gnawed,

Swallowing, she kept mumbling:

"Heavenly Father is above, foster father lives forever in my body,

Forever!"
