I have a backstage in Datang

Everyone has confirmed their guesses.

Li Shimin took a deep look at Tan Xiao, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stand aside, you are not guarding the checkpoint tonight. If Gu's guess is correct, your little brother is the real questioner. right?"

Sure enough, Tan Xiao nodded, and said calmly with a pretty face, "I'm afraid he's young and will be bullied by you."

This is the performance of protecting the calf.

Li Shimin didn't want to break up with a girl, so he led the crowd towards the child, only to find that the child was holding something in his hand.

Everyone was stunned, and then felt a chill in their hearts, because the child was only eight or nine years old, but he was holding a skull without fear. At this time, the night was dark, and the bright moon in the sky was shining on countless graves. Holding a skull, this scene feels weird no matter how you look at it.

But the child slowly raised his head, staring at the crowd with eyes as pure as water, suddenly raised the skull in his hand, and said softly to the crowd: "This is my mother."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the child pointing to the grave mound again, he said again: "The 190 people buried here are all my senior uncles. They died under the knife, but my master ordered them to be killed. After death, they were specially buried in the road. On the side, deliberately set up a big monument, to use their death to deter the refugees from committing crimes."

Everyone looked at the grave mound subconsciously, and they had a vague understanding in their hearts.

This is Gu Tianya's third test, and it is also the most heart-wrenching one.

I saw the child kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of clarity, he looked up at the crowd, and said again: "I am a disciple of the Gu family, and I have some confusions in my heart that I can't figure out, but I can't ask the master about these confusions, so I want to take advantage of them." I will take this opportunity to ask you guys. I just don’t know, who is willing to give me an answer..."

Everyone looked at each other, Changsun Wuji came out more and more, and said in a deep voice, "You ask."

The child slowly stood up from the ground, staring at everyone with clear eyes, said: "My master killed my relatives, should I hate him or respect him?"

This question is not easy to answer.

If everyone answered that they should hate Gu Tianya, but the child was left and taught by Gu Tianya, if everyone answered that they should respect Gu Tianya, but the child's relatives all died under Gu Tianya's order.

Everyone pondered for a long time, finally it was Changsun Wuji who was responsible for the answer, and said slowly: "There are two sides to this matter, which must be discussed separately. First of all, we need to know why your master beheaded your relatives..."

Unexpectedly, the child smiled innocently, looked at him curiously and said, "You should know that my relatives committed the crime of cannibalism. When we left our homes and were driven all the way to Hebei Road, our relatives were so hungry that we couldn't bear it." , so we exchanged children for food."

These words were extremely naive, like a child talking about an ordinary past event, but everyone present felt their scalps go numb, and everyone knew that this was the most heart-wrenching test.

eat human!

The mob eats people.

Everyone remembered that Gu Tianya cried twice at the beginning, and the second time he cried loudly was because he beheaded some mobs.

And where did the mob come from?

Everyone knew it was their sin.

But seeing the child holding the skull in both hands, he didn't seem to be waiting for the answer from the crowd. Suddenly he raised the skull to the crowd again and asked: "This is my mother's head. She was cooked and eaten by my uncle. But even though my uncles ate my mother, they still wanted to save my life at the last moment. So I want to ask everyone, are my cannibal uncles good or bad..."

Everyone felt unable to answer this question.

This third hurdle should be the end of Gu Tianya's questioning, but no one can bear the end of this questioning.

They couldn't stand the child's eyes that were as pure as water.

Someone looked up at the big stele in front of the cemetery, and saw a line of big characters written on it. Under the moonlight, it was clear and distinct: "Gu Tianya cried and killed the mob on this stele."

Everyone made a bitter voice, looked at each other, and said in a difficult tone: "At the beginning he killed the mob here, but tonight he is here to ask the heart. This is not asking the heart at all, it is to kill us here."

It is not to kill their people, but to kill their hearts.

Kill people and punish their hearts, only those who survive can go.

Chapter 183 [Sure enough, the last level is the most ruthless]

"Little baby, you should be the youngest disciple of your master, right? Your question is difficult to answer."

"Before, your senior brothers and sisters also blocked the way to ask us doubts. In fact, we all know that it is not doubts, but a questioning gate deliberately set by your master."

"Whether it's your senior brother Cheng Chumo or your second senior brother Li Chongyi, they seem to be asking their own questions, but in fact it's your master who is asking the question behind the scenes, so our answer is also aimed at your master's answer. In addition, you This little senior sister, she sang an ancient style to everyone under the moon. The tune was changed, and she sang about disasters on earth. Your little senior sister looks smart and intelligent, but she is by no means a woman who is good at poetry. So, her The tune is actually written by your master."

"However, only you are different."

Changsun Wuji spoke slowly, walked slowly to the child, he suddenly bent down, gently stroked the child's forehead, and said: "Only your problem is not taught by your master, but your personal experience. It's your real confusion. But you asked us whether your relatives are good or bad, but we can't answer this question, because no one in this world can answer it..."

As he spoke, he stroked the child's forehead again, and said again: "Even if it is your master, we recognize that he is a rare intelligent person in the world, but if you ask him this question, I guarantee that he will not be able to answer it." Correct answer."

The child stood there quietly, with eyes as black as lacquer, looked up at Changsun Wuji, and suddenly said, "It's not that you can't answer, but that you don't want to answer, right?"

Changsun Wuji was startled, then shook his head with a gentle smile, and said solemnly: "Although the old man is not a good person, he is recognized as a eloquent person, but I don't want to lie tonight, I don't want to lie to you, kid. I really can't answer , rather than unwillingness to answer."

The child nodded and said, "Understood."

But the little guy soon raised his head again, and raised the skull again, looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "This is my mother's head, and it has been with me for half a year. Grandpa Wang once said that people need to be buried in the ground for death." Ann. But my master said that it was not time for my mother to be buried, so I could only hold my mother's head and wait silently for the burial time that master said. Finally, a few days ago, my master sent a letter telling me I said the time has come to bury my mother. Master asked me to hold my mother's head and wait here for a group of court officials. Master said, this is the time for my mother to be buried in peace. But I am still young and don't understand What is the time that the master said."

Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh.

A group of officials from Tiance Mansion in the back also showed guilt.

But no one wants to talk.

The child looked at the crowd again, and suddenly bowed solemnly, holding his mother's head in his hands, his eyes swept over everyone, and said softly: "All the court officials, I beg you to give my mother a chance to rest in peace. Go ahead. My master said, the timing is in your hearts."

Finally, someone couldn't stand it.

But when Qin Qiong suddenly came forward, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "I am Qin Shubao from Shandong Province. I used to be the general of the Tiance Mansion. Because of the evil policies of the Tiance Mansion, innocent people were displaced and your mother died. At that time, it was the worst thing in the world to become the food of others. There is nothing worse than this. Now I, Qin Shubao, kneel down and beg for forgiveness. For the sake of the people, if I can use my meager strength to reduce the displacement of the people in the world, I, Qin Qiong, will be willing to die."

The sonorous and powerful words of the words highlighted the uprightness of this loyal man. In fact, when the Tiance Mansion formulated the policy, Qin Qiong did not participate in it, but he was the first to step out and kneel down on one knee to a dead man. The mother begged for forgiveness.

The child looked happy, and held the skull in front of Qin Qiong, saying: "Uncle, my mother forgives you. Did you hear that, my mother is smiling happily. I haven't heard from my mother for more than half a year. Thank you for allowing me to hear the voice I most want to hear."

In fact, there is no silence in the world, except for the insects in the grass, there is no other sound.

Qin Qiong's eyes were red, and the majestic tough guy almost burst into tears. He wanted to reach out to comfort the child, but he retracted his hand as far as it was raised, and said bitterly: "Let your mother rest in peace, this should be the time your master said. As long as If we pray for forgiveness and make a great wish to serve the people for the rest of our lives, then your mother's death was not in vain, and she has ushered in the time to go to the ground to rest in peace."

Unexpectedly, the child only had a happy face, but he did not accept Qin Qiong's persuasion. Instead, he looked at the crowd again with his eyes, and shook his head slightly: "It's not enough!"

"not enough?"

Everyone was stunned, and everyone understood what this meant.

"Ugh……"

Fang Xuanling suddenly let out a long sigh, stepped out from the crowd and came over, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the old Fang also knelt down on one knee, and said: "Let me add the old man, otherwise I will not be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Saying this, he bowed solemnly, bowed to the skull in the child's hand, and said: "The old man Fang Xuanling used to be the chief counselor of the Tiance Mansion, and the old man led everyone to draw up the evil policy back then. The people died, the refugees were hungry, and they exchanged children for food. These human tragedies were actually written by the old man. I dare not beg for forgiveness, so I can only find the oath here. If the old man can be an official in the court for twenty For now, this old man will spend his whole life bowing his head to serve the people. This old man is not a saint, so he cannot guarantee that no one will die of starvation, but this old man will continue to spur himself on with the tragedy of the past, and try his best to reduce the number of people in the world to starve to death in this lifetime.”

This is extremely sincere.

The child slowly handed over the mother's head to Fang Xuanling, and said happily: "My master said you are a good person, so the oath you made must be sincere. Then, my mother forgives you."

Fang Xuanling bowed again, suddenly exhaled a long breath, and said with a relaxed expression: "I have been avoiding it all the time, but my conscience is not at peace. It was not until I sincerely repented tonight that I realized that repentance is the good medicine to drive away the nightmare. This little boy, I Fang Xuanling thank you."

After saying this, he put his palm on the skull and said solemnly: "This unknown mother, please rest in peace. Fang Xuanling of the Great Tang Dynasty, I will pay homage to you under the moon."

The child was both joyful and sad, and slowly took the mother's head back into his arms.

At this time, the two Tiance government officials had bowed down, and the child's pure water eyes no longer tried to force others.Holding his mother's head, he slowly walked to the edge of a pit that had already been dug. He knelt down slowly, and gently placed his mother's head in the pit, and then picked up a handful of soil.

This is really going to die.

Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi looked at each other, and suddenly they walked out to the side of the child. Everyone was surprised, but they saw the two of them kneeling on the ground at the same time, and said loudly: "Gu's disciples are brothers and sisters. Say goodbye to the elders together."

Saying that, each held up a handful of soil.

Everyone was startled for a moment, and then they looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone could see the admiration in each other's eyes, as well as various emotions of inexplicable envy.

This era is a gift.

Love is important in this era.

The actions of Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi let everyone see the style of Gu's disciples.

On the contrary, Tan Xiao didn't kneel down, but walked up to the child and stood there. She stretched out her hand to caress the little junior brother's forehead, bent down and bowed to the ground as a peer salute.

At this time, everyone could see that Tan Xiao didn't regard himself as a disciple of the Gu family.

However, she also picked up a handful of dirt from the ground.

As an heir, the child was the first to put the soil in his hands into the pit, and then Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi raised their hands and slowly put the soil in their hands.

The child did not cry, but continued to hold up the soil again, but he did not directly fill the soil, but whispered, saying: "That day, mother collapsed from hunger and could no longer walk, so I had to He looked at me with his eyes open. The uncles said that my mother was already dying, so cooking and eating it would help us stay a little longer. They dragged my mother into the pot and began to add water to burn firewood..."

"Mother's eyes were full of fear, but Mother was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy. No, she did, but she didn't beg for mercy. She was clearly gathering strength and was about to say something else. Finally, she yelled .”

"In the hot water, my mother yelled at me: baby, close your eyes. Forget about mother, you don't have a mother, you just popped out of a rock, you never had a mother. You forget about this, Forget about your mother being boiled and eaten. Don’t hold grudges against your uncles, don’t hold grudges against your uncles..."

"It turned out that the fear in my mother's eyes was not because of herself, but because she was afraid that her child might be cooked and eaten. The mother obviously accumulated the strength to scream, but the mother didn't scream at the uncles for mercy. The mother just kept screaming at me. Scream, let me remember that I am a child without a mother. Although I am young, I know what mother means. She is afraid that I will show hatred, and then I will be cooked by my uncles."

"I looked at my mother from a distance, and watched my mother slowly lose her breath in the cauldron. I heard the uncles gnashing their teeth and cursing those who caused us to be displaced. I don't know what to hate for boiling my mother. Uncles, you should hate those uncles who boiled my mother."

"Grandpa Wang blindfolded me to prevent me from watching my mother's tragedy, but Grandpa Wang didn't know that he didn't need to blindfold me at all, because the tears in my eyes had already let me see I don’t know the world anymore.”

"From that day on, I seldom speak. I dare not cry, and I don't want to cry. I must firmly remember my mother's words. My mother told me that I was a motherless child."

"Uncles all said that I was a ruthless person, that I was an evil ghost who didn't know how to cry, but in fact, only I knew that I was a motherless child and had no right to cry... until one day, my master stood in front of me ..."

"Master's palm is so warm, he gently stroked my head. Master's chest is so warm, he hugged me tightly."

"I was held in the arms of Master, and I heard the sentence I wanted to hear the most during that period of time. Master said, cry, cry loudly. With Master as your backer, no one in this world can stop you from crying How can a child who lost his mother not cry, cry, cry loudly."

"So, I cried a lot, and I was finally able to cry aloud."

"In the sound of crying, I heard Master crying too. The veins in Master's arm holding me were all bulging. I heard Master's gnashing of teeth. Son, remember, master makes an oath to you today, one day, I will make those people kneel in front of your mother's grave, everyone will kowtow to your mother, everyone will add dirt to your mother..."

The child spoke intermittently, but he never put down the second handful of soil in his hand. Instead, he turned to look at the crowd and asked, "My mother is a poor commoner who was boiled and eaten, but my master said that my mother is a Great mother. All court officials, do you think my master is right or wrong?"

Qin Qiong suddenly roared violently, raised his head to the sky and yelled, "Damn it..."

With a loud bang, he slammed his fist on a big tree.

……

...The 1st update arrives, followed by the 2nd update

Chapter 184 [We Hebei Road, let you open your eyes]

Between the clusters of leaves, this yellow-faced man had a ferocious expression on his face. He stared at the crowd with blood-red eyes, and said with a serious face: "You are all old brothers from Tiance Mansion, so don't blame me, Qin Qiong, for saying ruthless words tonight. I I want to ask everyone, are you not willing to add a handful of soil to others? If anyone is unwilling, let's cut off the robe and abolish justice."

Suddenly looking at one person specifically, he roared, "Changsun Wuji, you bastard. I'm Qin Qiong, I'm Qin Qiong..."

"Ah, ah, I, Qin Qiong, really want to kill you."

Under the eyes of everyone, Changsun Wuji's face turned gray, suddenly he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand and pulled out a young man from the crowd, everyone took a look and recognized that the boy was the eldest son of the Changsun family.

Changsun Wuji pulled the boy and walked directly to the side of the child, and then he directly pushed the boy down and knelt on his knees.

He looked directly at the child, and said with a wretched smile: "Little boy, remember me. My name is Changsun Wuji, and I was the leader of that evil government back then. Earlier Fang Xuanling said that he was the leader, but that was just me. Take responsibility for him. In fact, everyone in the world knows that my eldest grandson Wuji is the one who drafted that evil policy. Xiaowa, remember me, remember me, tonight I will not beg for forgiveness, and I will not make any vows , I only want you to remember my name, I want you to watch me repent for the rest of your life..."

He paused while talking, pointed to his eldest son, and said: "This is Changsun Chong, the eldest son of my eldest grandson's family. This old man is a relative of the emperor, and my son's aunt is the current crown princess. If you don't If there is an accident, his aunt will become the queen of a country. Although this status is not perfect, it is considered top in the world. I will let him kneel down to your mother, and do a filial piety just like you .”

These words are extremely decisive, and everyone can hear the meaning.

Asking one's son to kneel down and be filial to others means worshiping Xiaowa's mother as his mother.

One must know that Changsun Chong is the eldest son of his family!

bang.

The eldest grandson also rushed forward neatly, and directly knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, then held up a handful of soil, looked at Xiaowa, and said, "May I allow me to add soil to our mother?"

Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi held Xiaowa's arm each, and said loudly: "Little brother, you just do what you want, if you are willing to forgive his family, then forgive him, if you are not willing to forgive his family, we will not pee on him. So what about Changsun Wuji, our master is still not afraid of him. Don't be afraid, just act boldly and follow your heart."

Forgive or not understand, free from any threats and temptations.

Under the eyes of everyone, everyone looked at Xiaowa, and Xiaowa looked directly at Changsun Chong, and asked: "As the eldest son of a country, your aunt will be the queen of a country. Is it true that you are a relative of the emperor?" Are you willing to call me mother?"

Without hesitation, Chang Sun Chong said loudly: "Father pays debts to sons, it's just and fair."

"My mother is just an ordinary citizen."

"My mother is a great mother..."

"In this case, remember my name. My name is Wang Bo, the fourth son of Gu's disciples. Mother can be buried in the ground. Let's add soil to mother's grave together."

"it is good!"
