Chapter 397 Save us all, Nasser (1/2)

The next morning, the ten-day heavy snow finally stopped.

The chill after the snow could not stop the happiness that welled up inside of the people. After all, once they made it through that day and the next day, everything would be fine once the snow melted. They watched the first ray of the morning sun appeared in the skies above. It would be a good day. Furthermore, a fall of seasonable snow gave promise of a fruitful year, perhaps they would not starve as much in the coming year.

For these brutally victimized peasants, they would feel the very warmth from this tiny appearance of hope. Compared to those that were well-provided who grieved over the passing of spring or felt sad with the advent of autumn, it was too easy to satisfy them. This was originally not a good matter but in this hopeless state of the country, they could only treat it as a good matter.

As per routine, Shen Lian gave out a pot of holy water. Once the last poor person who was attracted to come here had gotten the holy water, there was a mish-mash of the sounds of musical instruments that came from the street. Very quickly, a pale, mustache-less imperial guard reached to the front of Shen Lian on his horse, with a piercing tone he read out the imperial decree that he took out.

It turned out that the monarch had summoned Shen Lian for a meeting to treat his illness.

Once the imperial decree was out, everyone kept quiet. This was because the previous profound scholar that was nailed to death was also summoned to the palace. The monarch was sick and his temper only got more irritable. It would seem that this Daoist from the east was fraught with grim possibilities.

They did not realize that if they were to be in the past, they would not dare to critic the monarch in their minds.

The story that Shen Lian told them left a mark in their minds. Besides enduring the pain, they began to grasp the basic concept of what was right and wrong and had the urgency to leave this current state.

They even placed their hopes on Shen Lian, they needed someone to become the mass' leader.

Many of them even had a ridiculous thought of asking Shen Lian to not obey the imperial decree, and not enter the palace.

”Do not go, Nasser.” Finally, someone shouted out loud.

The meaning of Nasser was very close to 'Teacher' but it was more honorable. Only those who had become a god in the mind of the people were bestowed this title.

Once there was the first one, there was the second one. The thoughts of the masses began to converge, and there was a spiritual echo.

It was as though the word 'Nasser' had magical powers, it infected every peasant in the capital city. The tall and majestic udumbara began to sway, its leaves that were as big as snow pears danced in the air as it followed the rise and fall of the waves of sound.

It turned out that each and every one of them craved for a god-like Nasser who was knowledgeable enough to know everything from the heaven to the earth, to save them and liberate them from all these sufferings. It turned out that they too, knew that this kind of life was too miserable. It was absolutely painful.

The oppression of a rebellion that could not be dispelled, but only silent the people.

But once the strength before this silence exploded, it usually outshines the universe.

The imperial guard who passed on the imperial decree got down from his horse. His face was paler than white paper and there was not a hint of color anymore. He was furiously trembling. These bunch of lowlife, how dare they behaved this way.

Even Fang Yanying could not stop this burning righteous ardor, while at the same time, the deepest part of her mind shivered a bit. If the people of Xi Huang were like the people of the Jinji Country, she was afraid that those all high and mighty cultivators would be torn to pieces by this insane current of the mass' wishes.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

It turned out, even the trifle ones could let out their own shout, that their cries had the power to shake the heavens and earth.

She knew that this was not only because of her uncle-master. When the sky cleared up after the snow, the people started to feel hopeful and that restless wish to rebel was actually close to subsiding. But because of the monarch's decree, it reminded the people about the cruel ending of that profound scholar. That was no longer bearable for them.

This was because their hope was built on Shen Lian, who would continue to help them in making it through the tougher days. But it seemed now that the monarch was about to burn that final thread of hope.
