Chapter 194 - Pay Your Respects to the Grand Madam (1/2)

Chapter 194 Pay Your Respects to the Grand Madam“It’s not the very first one,” seeing that he was holding a long time not speaking, Xiao Hong knew it was hard for Hao Ning. He laughed and shook his head. “But this situation often happened to emperors in the past.”

“Emperors? Do you mean the emperor who is described as ‘All this territory in the world belongs to the king and all within the land are the king’s servants’? Why? The emperor has everything, and so many people are serving him,” Hao Ning wondered, “How could he be backfired?”

“You are the typical joke in the imagination of Peasants: Emperors use gold shoulder poles!” Xiao Hong said with a smile, “You have to imagine from the perspective of the emperor. Don’t think from the perspective of the citizens. It’s just because there is everything and what you want, that you have endless desires!”

“The land of the six Kingdoms is limited, but the desire of Qin is endless.” Zhou Yuan just bowed his head and read these two sentences at this time. Hao Ning knew that this was the sentence in Ten Crimes of Qin. It said that the desire of Qin was too great, and the other six kingdoms could not meet it. Now, presumably, the desire of Qin was like the desire of the emperor. It was a coincidence that this violent Qin was mainly about the first emperor, THE FIRST EMPEROR Ying Zheng.

“Your parents, under your spell,” said Xiao Hong, sighing when he heard Zhou Yuan’s words, “have become emperors?”

Hao Ning suddenly realized that, right, under Zhou Yuan’s spell, Zhou Yuan’s parents could get anything they wanted and have anything they thought of. Wasn’t this the life of the emperor?

“This kind of spell,” Hao Ning nodded, “is really a temptation that no one can resist…”

“Not exactly,” Xiao Hong shook his head. “Not every emperor is like this. In history, many emperors know their temperance and who they are. It has something to do with the emperor’s environment, but it also has something to do with who the emperor is. You should have heard brother Zhang’s words: the magistrates who were free to burn down houses but forbade common people to light lamps didn’t do so until they became magistrates?”

“I remember, he said so.” Hao Ning knew that this was also a sentence Zhang Chi Hang said to him the first time they met. Speaking of this, he only met Zhang Chi Hang two or three times, but what Zhang Chi Hang said in these two or three meets influenced him for so long.

“Exactly.” Xiao Hong nodded, “People are the same, but people are different. So, the same and the different are just like real and fake – Zhou Yuan, you only see that fake is normal. Even if you can already mix the fake and the real, real and fake are not so simple. Even if the fake has become normal, it still needs the real as the pursuit and support.”

“You and Zhang Chi Hang…” Hao Ning listened to Xiao Hong’s last words and jokingly said, “who is Avalokitesvara?”

“In your words, are you laughing at me or Avalokitesvara?” Xiao Hong blinked at Hao Ning. Hao Ning was stunned and smiled shyly. Seeing that everyone was clear, Xiao Hong clapped her hands and said, “after all, let’s go to see your parents!”

“Do you have a way?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes were full of hope. “Can you save them?”

“Didn’t I say that?” Xiao Hong said, “I don’t know. This is not the disaster caused by external things, but the fire of unrestrained desire in people’s hearts, which is much more powerful than my Samadhi True Fire.”

“Oh…” The hope in Zhou Yuan’s eyes faded, and the whole person seemed to get ten years older. “This way.”

“Good-bye! Come at any time in the future!” Before they entered the door, they heard aunt Zhou’s voice coming from inside. “Yuan, don’t you send your friends out?”

“Ah?” Hao Ning and Xiao Hong looked at each other and then looked at Zhou Yuan. “What? She is sending us out before we get in?”

“No, no,” Zhou quickly shook his head. “My mother is not talking to you. She is talking to that one. The one in her mind,” Zhou Yuan pointed to his head, then to the door. “You know?”

“Oh, I see,” said Hao Ning at once. “Your mother is talking to the friends she imagined in her mind, isn’t she? Aren’t these also us? It seems that your mother doesn’t welcome us very much. She wants to kick us out in her imagination.”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Xiao Hong laughed to help Zhou Yuan out of the embarrassment, and also to comfort Zhou Yuan. “Zhou Yuan will not let his friends be kicked out anyway, right?”

While they were talking, they entered the room only to find no one in the living room. Zhou Yuan pointed to the bedroom: “They should all be there.”

When they entered the bedroom, they saw aunt Zhou sitting on the chair and smiling with her eyes looking at somewhere. Another man was lying on the bed, smiling and looking at the place near him, as if he had been holding something. The man should be Zhou Yuan’s father. Although they were good friends, the relationship between people in big cities rarely involved elders, Hao Ning had only met Zhou Yuan’s mother several times. As for his father, this was the first time for him to meet.

“What are they doing?” Hao Ning asked secretly. After asking, he thought he popped a wrong question. He changed his words and said, “what are they imagining?”

“Let me have a look,” Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and opened them after a few breaths. He said somehow embarrassedly, “Well, let’s go and have a look at my mother’s imagination first.”

“Why? What’s wrong with your father’s? ” Hao Ning had some doubts.

Xiao Hong looked at Zhou Yuan’s father’s gesture, and then looked at Zhou Yuan’s face. His face turned red. He said in Hao Ning’s ear, “there should be more than ten women around his father now.” Hao Ning also understood so his face turned redder than Xiao Hong’s. He said awkwardly, “well, let’s see your mother’s imagination first…”

After a flash of blue light, several people, including Hao Ning, came to a large garden. It was inappropriate to describe it as a garden. It should be an unknown place, surrounded by beautiful garden trees, and in the distance was a small mountain and water fake bridge, with birds singing and flowers fragrance. In the distance was a large fountain, behind which was a very large building.

“This fountain, and that building…” Hao Ning looked in that direction and said, “why do they look so familiar to me?”
