Chapter 98 Li Shimin: Scary, but exciting!
Canopy.
Zuo Qianhu and Zhiqiu can be said to have known each other through fighting.
[Zuo Qianhu: "Who are you and why are you blocking my way?"]
[Zhi Qiu: "I'm catching ghosts underground, and you say I'm blocking your way. What if the ghost escapes and comes out at night, scaring you to death?"]
After discovering that Zhiqiu was just passing by and was not a bad person or a monster.
Captain Zuo apologized very politely and extended an invitation to the other party.
[The mage is very skilled. If he is willing to serve the imperial court, his future will be limitless. ]
But Zhiqiu was not moved at all.
He said that he was a monk and that matters such as promotion and wealth were matters for ordinary people.
As a monk, he wanted to let go of the four elements, and then he disappeared underground.
……
The first scene shows the superb martial arts skills of Zuo Qianhu.
He is a master with sharp movements and fierce moves.
But it also showed.
Zuo Qianhu was polite to others and always thought about recruiting talents for the court.
This image instantly attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's favor.
After all, which feudal emperor wouldn't like a man with great martial arts skills and loyalty to serve him?
……
The sky screen switches.
I saw Captain Zuo holding a bottle of water and personally feeding it to an old man who looked miserable and had his hands chained.
While feeding him water, he said with some emotion:
[The grievances in the court are not something that a mere warrior like me can interfere with.]
[The right and wrong in these official circles are usually unclear. ]
【I had no choice but to follow orders. 】
[But don't worry, Master Fu. I will escort you to the capital safely.]
[Once we arrive in the capital, how the emperor will deal with you is no longer my responsibility.]
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly again.
"This Zuo Qianhu is indeed just a warrior."
“But he knows his place.”
“Know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do.”
"Talents like this should work for our Ming Dynasty!"
"I don't know which court this Zuo Qianhu serves? Which dynasty does he belong to?"
"Look at his clothes, they look a bit like the clothes of my Ming Dynasty."
The plot on the sky curtain continues to advance.
Although it is only a short clip of a few minutes, the main plot can be seen.
While Captain Zuo was escorting Lord Fu, a loyal official of the imperial court, to the capital, he encountered someone trying to rob him.
During the battle, Zuo Qianhu encountered a monster called the giant corpse.
As the name suggests, it is a corpse as tall as a giant.
It is huge in size and covered with various flesh and tentacles.
It looks very scary.
Much of the night.
Zuo Qianhu rushed over and saw the horrifying giant corpse.
But he was not afraid at all, just snorted coldly.
[Humph, you don't even look like a ghost, take off the mask quickly! ]
After saying that, Zuo Qianhu rushed forward, waving his sword of materialism and hacking at the giant corpse.
It was obvious that Zuo Qianhu was just a martial artist without any magic, but he was able to chop the giant corpse.
I almost chopped the giant corpse to death!
However, the giant corpse's magic is indeed fierce, strange and changeable.
Zuo Qianhu was caught off guard and was controlled by the giant corpse.
But then Zhiqiu and others came and rescued Zuo Qianhu.
And took him hostage.
He planned to use Captain Zuo's life as a cover to rescue Lord Fu.
But Master Fu just sighed and said:
[No matter how many people die here, the world cannot be saved.] [There are too many villains around the emperor, and they don’t know the sufferings of the world.]
[You can take my head to see the emperor, maybe it can influence him and make him understand our loyalty and good intentions. ]
Lord Fu, a wanted criminal of the imperial court, had the opportunity to escape, but he was willing to sacrifice his life.
And Lord Fu's daughter was also willing to die in place of her father.
Including several of Lord Fu's subordinates, they all expressed their willingness to die in place of Lord Fu.
Among this group of people, no one is afraid of death!
Their loyal and filial behavior also shocked Zuo Qianhu, who was a lackey of the imperial court!
Captain Zuo gradually realized that Lord Fu was indeed a loyal and honest man.
But Zuo Qianhu still firmly carried out his orders.
Lord Fu must be escorted to the capital.
At this time, the plot is that the protagonist Ning Caichen is exchanging yang energy with Lord Fu's daughter.
Everyone in the play and the audience outside the play focused their attention on the handsome protagonist Ning Caichen and the two beauties.
Captain Zuo broke free from the chains and put the knife to Lord Fu's neck.
Captain Zuo admires Lord Fu's loyalty.
But he also had to complete his mission, so he said that he would plead with the court and speak well of Lord Fu.
At this time, an important person came outside the door.
The visitor is the emperor’s favorite, the Grand Master Pudu Cihang.
So Captain Zuo knelt down and begged for mercy to Pu Du Ci Hang.
And guarantee that Lord Fu and others are loyal ministers and generals of the court, and are definitely not bad people.
From the appearance of Pu Du Ci Hang, one can tell at first glance that he is an evil monk.
He agreed on the surface and sent Zuo Qianhu away.
In fact, he cast a spell secretly and controlled the whole situation as soon as he came in.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhiqiu, who had magical powers, woke up.
Naturally, it's another battle...
The protagonist and others were beaten up by Pu Du Ci Hang, some were caught, and some escaped.
Outside, Captain Zuo was deceived by Pu Du Ci Hang and temporarily left the scene.
But after leaving, Zuo Qianhu felt something was wrong.
So he returned to the scene.
I saw that in a hall, all the civil and military officials of the court were sitting in their seats.
When I took a closer look, I found that they were all empty shells!
All the ministers in the court are nothing but empty shells!
……
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is a horror movie after all, and the scene at this time is also terrifying and weird.
Even modern audiences, many of them trembled with fear when they first saw the scene where all the civil and military officials in the court were empty shells.
It became a big shadow in my childhood.
Not to mention the ancients who have not experienced the baptism of modern horror movies.
Tang Dynasty.
Although Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was a man of great talent and strategy, he was also superstitious.
In addition, he has been under a psychological burden since the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
So I often have nightmares.
The day before, Li Shimin had just had a nightmare.
Now seeing such a horrifying scene on the sky, I feel even more terrified.
Empress Changsun noticed Li Shimin's nervousness and gently patted his back.
Li Shimin said: "Although I know that the picture on the screen is just a movie of the future."
“It’s not real.”
“But it does look horrific.”
"It seems that if we want to watch the sky curtain at night in the future, we have to call General Qin and General Yuchi to accompany us."
But despite the fear.
Li Shimin still had no intention of not looking at the sky.
Even if Li Shimin knew that the movie on the skylight was fake, it might not help him in governing the country.
But Li Shimin also found it wonderful.
Scared.
But I still want to see it!
