Chapter 64: Spread my will and kill all the Taoist priests in the world!!!

Xia Wuqie pondered for a moment and explained, "Your Majesty, if ordinary methods cannot determine whether this pill contains a chronic poison, we must find a bird to try it. Birds are small and the drug takes effect quickly. This way, we can quickly know the truth about the pill!"

Ying Zheng nodded upon hearing this and immediately ordered someone to do it.

Xu Fu stood aside, sweating profusely, soaking his heavy clothes!

At this moment, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered. He was very uneasy and dared not say a word.

He knew that his fate hung in the balance, and he could only pray silently that the elixir of life would really work as he said and nothing would happen!
In a moment, Xia Wuqie walked into the hall holding a majestic rooster in one hand. The rooster had a bright red comb and bright feathers, and it was obviously carefully selected.

"Your Majesty, this chicken is strong and healthy, and can be used to test the elixir."

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng solemnly handed the elixir in his hand to Xia Wuqie and ordered him to try it on a rooster!

Xia Wuqie took the order and immediately ground the pill carefully, mixed it evenly with corn, and fed it to the rooster.

Ying Zheng stared at the rooster with a sharp gaze, wanting to observe its changes.

Xu Fu also stood nervously aside, his palms slightly sweaty, his eyes closely following the rooster!
But his eyes were bloodshot, showing that he was extremely anxious!!
The rooster was pecking at the corn and seemed normal at first, but then it became restless, jumping up and down, and struggling with its wings.

It looked so crazy that it even made loud chirping sounds in the solemn hall, echoing between the four walls!

When Xu Fu saw this, his heart sank even more.

He knew very well that the rooster at this moment was a reflection of his fate. If the pill was poisonous, his life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat profusely and prayed in his heart.

However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.

After half a cup of tea, the rooster was finally exhausted, fell to the ground and never moved again!

Xia Wuqi walked forward and carefully examined the rooster. He saw that its eyes were closed, its feathers were disheveled, and it was lifeless.

He stood up and reported to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, this chicken is dead. It is indeed poisoned. Judging from its symptoms, it is no different from taking chronic poison!!!"

boom! ! !
Ying Zheng turned and looked at Xu Fu, his eyes as sharp as an arrow.

Xu Fu, feeling the chill, suddenly felt his legs weaken and he fell to his knees with a thud! !

He knew that he had no way out and dared not make any more excuses.

Fear and despair surged in his heart. He kowtowed repeatedly and begged with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty... please spare my life! I know that I have committed a serious crime, but I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to reform!!"

Xu Fu's forehead hit the cold ground with a loud bang!

Soon his face turned purple, but he seemed to feel no pain and just kept begging for mercy.

His tears and sweat mixed together and flowed down his cheeks!

His voice was trembling and hoarse, filled with endless fear and pleading!
Ying Zheng's face turned livid as he looked coldly at Xu Fu who was kneeling at his feet. The anger in his heart was burning like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, like thunder and lightning, which was terrifying!

He took a step forward, and his imperial robe fluttered without wind. An invisible pressure made the entire hall quiet! !

He shouted sternly: "Xu Fu! You have deceived me for many years and have caused great trouble for me! Do you think that a few words of begging for mercy will make me let you go?!!"

Xu Fu trembled all over, crawled to Ying Zheng's feet, hugged him tightly, and begged with tears in his eyes, as if this was his last straw.

"Your Majesty! Please have mercy! Please, Your Majesty, give me a way out!!!"

However, Ying Zheng remained unmoved. He shook his feet and pushed Xu Fu several feet away!

He said coldly: "My patience has run out! You have bullied me too much!"

"Come here, drag this deceitful man out and tore him apart!!!"

Following Ying Zheng's order, several guards immediately stepped forward and lifted Xu Fu up. Xu Fu's cries gradually faded away until they disappeared outside the hall.

His desperate pleading seemed to still echo in the air, but Ying Zheng's expression was still as cold as ice, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The entire hall fell into silence again and no one dared to speak.

Ying Zheng stood in the center of the hall, sweeping his cold eyes over everyone present, as if he wanted to see through their thoughts.

He looked around and said in a cold voice: "Pass the order! I will kill all the sorcerers in the world!"

"Kill them all!!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell into a dead silence! !

……

Just at this moment, Zhang Han came in from outside, holding a stack of thick bamboo slips in his hands, which were the books left by Ye Chi in Fengchang Temple.

Zhang Han presented it respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this is the book left by Ye Chi."

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and read them carefully page by page.

His handwriting is neat and his words reveal a deep understanding of the universe and nature, but there seems to be no clear guidance on the way to immortality.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel unwilling!
Is it true that there is really no immortal mountain in this world, and no way to immortality? ! !

He raised his head and looked outside the palace, only to see the sky gradually darkening and the clouds rolling and unrolling, as if mocking his helplessness.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and slowly flipped through the book written by Ye Chi, savoring every word and every sentence, as if looking for the tiny clue to immortality.

However, what was said in the book was the same as what Ye Chi said in person, that there was no way to immortality in the world...

The cycle of life and death is the natural law of heaven and earth!

Finally, he turned to the last page, and an indescribable helplessness surged in his heart.

He already knew that what Ye Chi said was true, but after personally reading his books and confirming it word by word, he still couldn't erase the deep desire in his heart.

Ying Zheng gently closed the book, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "This way of immortality is ultimately like a mirage, something you can only hope for but cannot achieve."

His words were filled with endless sorrow and loss!

A king or supreme being standing at the pinnacle of power, when faced with the issue of life and death, finds that he is no different from an ordinary person and is also unable to escape the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death!

This unwillingness, like a heavy shackle, firmly bound Ying Zheng's heart!
Zhang Han lowered his head, his heart trembling, and did not dare to look up at Ying Zheng's expression.

He knew that at this moment, His Majesty had fallen into deep obsession, and his desire for immortality had surpassed everything.

Ying Zheng stood up, walked to the palace gate, looked at the distant sky, his heart filled with endless loss.

As the Son of Heaven, he ruled over all the people, but he couldn't even control his own life and death. How could he accept this? !

……

Afterwards, Ying Zheng waved Zhang Han away, leaned on the railing alone, and gazed at the distant sky.

As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, as if telling the infinite mysteries between heaven and earth.

At this moment, his eyes inadvertently fell on the pile of books written by Ye Chi.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it and picked up one of the books again.

Slowly turning the pages of the book, his eyes fell on the words about arithmetic.

At first, he just browsed with curiosity, but soon, he was deeply attracted by the content!!
