Chapter 154 Saint Ascension
"Sacred Grandfather, are you really planning to leave? Are you not going to stay with Kisaragi for a while longer?"

In the palace, the 69-year-old Empress Li Ruyue, whose hair was mostly gray, held her hand reluctantly, looked at her with round eyes, and said in a coquettish tone.

Zhou Ming turned his head, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted her on the forehead, moved his white beard on his chin, and laughed loudly: "Xiao Yue'er, your ass hasn't been spanked enough by grandpa yet? Grandpa Sheng is 120 years old. If you don’t die, you will be regarded as a ghost, and it’s enough to live, hahaha!”

"Grandpa Sheng is not allowed to say that~!"

Li Ruyue is no longer in compliance. She is almost 70 years old, and she looks like a 17-year-old girl. She pouted, hugged Zhou Ming's arm, shook it vigorously a few times, and said with hope in her eyes, "Grandpa Holy, I want you to stay with me forever, I want you to live another hundred years, I won't let you go!"

If this scene in the palace was seen by other people, or in other words, seeing the majestic and majestic empress in the past, the scene of her charming appearance at this moment was seen by others, I am afraid that the eyeballs would fall to the ground. A reporter from a newspaper in Dazhou used a camera to take pictures and put them on the gossip page. Its sales may skyrocket the next day.

"Silly girl, there is always a banquet in this world..."

Zhou Ming sighed, touched the granddaughter's head, and recalled many things in his mind, thinking of the past 60 years, from the initial stumbling and mutual suspicion, to the constant running-in in the middle, being friends and teachers, and now the family relationship is strong, It is difficult to part with each other, and the various things that the grandparents and grandchildren have experienced together cannot be summed up in the phrase "grandparents and grandchildren love each other deeply".

For example, when the young Li Ruyue was not in power, she was also yearning for power like her grandmother Changping Empress Dowager and Holy Goddess Emperor Wu Zhao. , but was always hindered and criticized by Grandpa Sheng, for which she was often resentful, played a few times of petty temper, but was spanked many times by Grandpa Sheng, she was angry and annoyed, at that time, she already had Fifteen or sixteen years old, he already has a man he likes, yet he is treated like this...

For a while, besides cursing someone behind her back, she also had some vicious thoughts...

At the age of 22, to Li Ruyue's great surprise, when all the rights were handed over to her by that person, Li Ruyue discovered for the first time that running a huge empire was so laborious. Only then did she gradually understand the hard work and difficulty of that man, and even felt a little guilty in her heart. When she encountered some difficult problems that were difficult to deal with, she would also ask him for advice, and learned a lot, which opened her eyes and made her feel happy. Benefit from the means of governing the country.

For a long time after that, she was like a dry sponge, trying her best to absorb the wisdom in him, but found that the infinite wisdom like the sea, her little sponge, couldn't absorb it all.

Li Ruyue, who is middle-aged and energy-declining, suffers from back pain and exhaustion every time after dealing with a mountain of government affairs, suddenly discovers that the "constitutional monarchy" that made her extremely vigilant and extremely hated and hostile is actually It is so advanced and superior, and the design is reasonable, she wants to take the initiative to introduce learning and reduce the burden on her body.

However, her idea was rejected by that person. He said: "The Great Zhou Empire is too big. It's not that it's a small country with few people. It's not suitable for free democracy and multi-party governance. It will only bring chaos and chaos." Preface, if a big country wants to be great, it must centralize power, and the top can only have one voice! Of course, it can also introduce appropriate democracy and a sound legal system, strengthen self-restraint on high-level, and supervision of public opinion, and appoint talents. Cultivate qualified successors to the empire... Those who can achieve these points, an empire can also be strong for hundreds of years!"

Li Ruyue nodded, gave up that idea and plan, and devoted her energy to improving the empire's political system.

……

Recalling in my mind, I went through all of them like a movie, and Zhou Ming felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, and wanted to live for a few more years, but he heard the sound of "The energy in the host body is seriously insufficient, please Quit the game quickly" alarm sound, he knew that if he continued to play this game, he would no longer eat or drink in reality, and he had entered a dormant state for six days, and he was going to be gameover.

In fact, not long after he lived to be 100 years old, the system in his brain began to beep frequently, "The host energy is insufficient, do you want to quit the game?", but he still wants to earn more achievement points and get a higher game level. Evaluation, so I didn't pay much attention to these tips.

However, some time ago, the voice of the system intelligence brain suddenly sounded in his head, saying that if he does not quit the game within two months, the body of the host outside the game will suffer from a serious lack of energy, and the internal organs of the body will be damaged. Irreversible damage; if it exceeds 168 hours without supplementing energy, the host body will stop functioning.

What does it mean to stop working... To put it bluntly, it just hangs!

Hearing that the situation was so serious, Zhou Ming couldn't calm down anymore. At this time, even if the magical effect of the immortal medicine can keep him alive for another ten years; The future generations have occupied all the land of this planet, ruled the entire population, and transitioned from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution, and entered modern civilization... He also knew that he had to withdraw from this world as soon as possible. The game is over, otherwise, in the future, he won't even have to play this game if he wants to!
As for the arrangements for the afterlife, there is nothing to arrange. I am 120 years old, and those sons and grandchildren who are all seven, eight or ninety years old, what else can I arrange?Is there any other major event that is worth troublesome "old ancestor" like him to deal with it?

He is just dawdling in this dungeon now, showing his presence occasionally, and then acting like a dung-making machine, doing nothing.

This kind of life is actually boring, so after discussing with the system, Zhou Ming prepared to leave this world in a special "way", and finally make a big news.

Hearing Zhou Ming's idea, the system didn't agree at first, saying that he could at least bring in tens of millions of achievement points by doing so. This was asking the system to help him cheat. This is a matter of principle, and the system cannot agree... …

"Isn't it just 1000 million achievement points? After I quit the game, just deduct it from the account balance. System, don't say you can't do this little thing? Besides, I've played this game like this. The so-called The balance has long since ceased to exist, and I am on the entire balance beam! What are you afraid of destroying? Just treat it as being on Jinxiu, and forget about adding a little flower to me..."

Zhou Mingdao wanted to pursue a perfect ending.

"All right……"

The system thought about it and agreed to his request.

……

In the 80th year of Wenguo, starting in early August, through thousands of radio stations all over the islands of Wenguo, an explosive news spread to every corner of Wenguo overseas:

His Majesty the Emperor Wen, a scientific sage, had a sudden induction not long ago and heard the call of the god of the universe. At the solstice of the sun at [-] a.m. on September [-]th, he will ascend into the sky and become a saint at the Jiugong Mountain Dojo on Feixian Island. Return to Wenqu Xinggong and return to the immortal class.

Hearing the news, people were taken aback, dubious, and then talked about it.

"His Majesty Wenhuang, are you leaving us?"

"His Majesty Wenhuang! Your body is still so strong, why don't you stay in the world for a few more years?"

"Your Majesty, Wen Kingdom was created by you alone. Every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree has your contribution. Without you, there would be no Wen Kingdom, and Wen Kingdom would not exist without you!"

"His Majesty Wenhuang, how about staying in the mortal world? Let me wait for mortals, how about building you a bigger, better, and more comfortable star palace, and living in it for you? Thinking of my mortal world's magnificent scenery, it is not inferior to the fairyland of the gods! "

People were extremely reluctant to give up, and tried all kinds of ways to keep him, and they didn't want His Majesty Wen Huang to leave.

Surprisingly, very few people in the Wen country questioned the myth that His Majesty Wen Huang was about to ascend to the throne, but most of them believed it. There were quite a few outsiders who expressed disbelief and doubts, and after being accidentally heard by the locals, As a result, they were beaten to the point of hemiplegia. These outsiders had no choice but to shut up and sigh inwardly: This country and the people have been brainwashed into such a state by that Tian Zihua, pitiful and pathetic...

On the other side, newspapers in the Great Zhou Empire broadcast, and countless media reprinted and rebroadcasted the news one after another. The public opinion also exploded. During the broadcast, a well-known scientist stood up and commented: I have been practicing materialism all my life. Tian Zihua, who was sanctified by science, began to pursue these theistic things in his later years. Although he is a saint, after this incident, he will definitely become a stain on his saint's head and will no longer be perfect...

Although the scientist said so, but for many years, after receiving countless favors, the ordinary people who have long regarded the saint Zihua as a fairy in their hearts have no doubts about the news that the saint Zihua is about to ascend into the sky, and then fight for it. Xiang Xiang snapped up tourist tickets to Nafeixian Island, but due to time constraints, the tickets were limited. In order to witness the saint's ascension with his own eyes, a ticket, even if it was sold for a hundred gold coins by scalpers, was still in short supply and was sold in a short time. Sold out.

Time soon came to the ninth day of September, the day when the saint ascended.

On this day, Feixian Island, with an area of ​​only a few hundred square kilometers, was crowded with people, endlessly noisy, rubbing shoulders against each other, and boiling against the sky. Feixian Island, a tiny island, was crowded with millions of people. These people were densely packed. Crowded together, colorfully dressed, and constantly moving up and down, if seen by people with trypophobia, they will be scared out of their wits.

In the east of Feixian Island, in the flat Jiugong Mountain dojo area, the crowds were even more crowded. If it weren't for the thousands of soldiers wearing protective gear, holding sticks and riot shields, desperately maintaining order, there would have been a serious stampede ACCIDENT.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the weather was fine, the sky was blue and cloudless.

On an open space in the middle of Jiugong Dojo, standing next to the lower basket of a colorful hot air balloon with a large diameter and a balloon made of colorful striped fabric, Zhou Ming, holding a torch in his hand, walked into the basket and ignited it. After entering the burner's crater, a flame more than one meter long rose out, making a sizzling sound. After heating the air, the upper refractory air bag began to bulge, and the bigger the bulge, it began to generate lift. , pulling up the trend of lift-off.

Handed the torch to the staff, and signaled to the person below who retracted the leash, the person hesitated for a moment, and let go of the rope tied to the iron post.

After losing the fixation of the leash, the hot air balloon began to leave the ground and slowly lifted into the air.

"Respectfully send the saint to heaven!"

"Respectfully send the saint to heaven!"

"Respectfully send the saint to heaven!!"

The underground crowd knelt together, and the sound of sending them off resounded endlessly.

Zhou Ming, who was standing on the edge of the hanging basket, kept waving his hands down with a smile on his face.

The hot air balloon rose higher and higher, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters...following the breeze, all the way to the east, flying farther and farther, getting smaller and smaller, and slowly turning into a small point in the sky.

"Look! A door appeared in the sky!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd, people turned their heads to look, opened their eyes wide, and saw an unbelievable scene!
In the cloudless high sky, a group of huge white clouds suddenly appeared. This group of white clouds, shaped like a long arched bridge, also looked like a cloud python opening its mouth to welcome the entry of the colorful hot air balloon.

After the hot air balloon slowly entered the mouth of the cloud python and entered the channel in the clouds leading to nowhere, after a while, the white cloud gradually dissipated, and then returned to a cloudless azure blue.

And the hot air balloon carrying Saint Zihua suddenly disappeared.

"The saint has ascended! The saint has returned to the kingdom of the star palace!"

"Congratulations to the saint to ascend! Congratulations to the saint to return to the kingdom of God!"

"The saint has left us, the saint is no longer in the world! Woooooo~"

"Saint, don't go! Woooooo~"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo~"

Countless people knelt down on the ground, and countless people wailed. This sobbing sound seemed to be contagious. It made millions of people in Feixian Island cry together, and made tens of millions of people in Wenguo overseas cry out. Lamenting Heaven also made the billions of people in the Great Zhou Empire and countless affiliated colonies kneel on the ground together, looking up at the sky, looking at the Wenxing star, which was clearly visible even in daylight, and suddenly brightened to the extreme, in a daze. Speechless, unknowingly, tears flowed down my face.

"Holy Grandpa~!" Empress Li Ruyue was overwhelmed with grief, fainted for the third time, announced that she would quit court for three months, and hand over government affairs to the prince.

"How honored are we to be able to live in the era of saints? It's a pity that such a saint will only appear once in thousands of years. I don't know when the next one will appear? Let us miss the saint Zihua together. He gave this world, He has brought everything we can't imagine, but never asked for anything. We should be grateful, and in our mortal way, erect monuments and temples, offer incense and worship, so that the incense will not go out, and the holy way will not go out. Good luck, let this true god who once came to the world live forever in our hearts..."

Since then, Zihua Shenjun temples have stood in crowded and noisy places, spreading all over the world. Even on that barren and remote unnamed island, there may be one, although it is dilapidated and small, it can still To provide spiritual sustenance for travelers, Zihua Shenjun Temple...
