Chapter 564 The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and the more she looks, the more interesting he becomes!
Afterwards, the King of the Southern Barbarians enumerated the various crimes of the Moon Worshiper, such as killing loyal officials, disrupting the government, causing drought, and assassinating the Witch King.
There were ninety-nine articles in total, which made the people of Dali City shocked and angry, and filled with righteous indignation.
It was also because the Moon Worshiping Cult leader was too powerful and did not take the common people into account at all. He always did bad things openly. The Moon Worshiping Cult followers were also always arrogant and domineering, doing whatever they wanted in Dali City.
Oppressing the good and robbing women are common practices of the Moon Worshipers.
The Moon Worshipers' proficiency in abducting Zhao Linger shows how highly they operate, and such highly skilled abilities are acquired through the practice of doing bad things in their daily lives.
It’s just that in the past, as the Moon Worshiper had not fallen, everyone dared to be angry but not to speak out. Now that the Moon Worshiper has obviously fallen and the Dali Kingdom is about to undergo a major change, the people naturally began to express their hatred for the Moon Worshiper and his followers.
"I've known for a long time that the Moon Worshiper was not a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so bad. The floods back then and the drought today were all caused by him! So many people died. This Moon Worshiper is a real beast!"
"The Moon Worshiper has finally been defeated. That's great! I have to pay protection fees to the Moon Worshiper every day to run my business, but now I finally don't have to pay!"
"My daughter was kidnapped by the Moon Worshipers. When I found my daughter, I only saw her corpse. She was obviously abused by the Moon Worshipers before she died. Woo woo."
"The Moon Worshiper is so mad that he even dares to kill the Witch King!"
The people gnashed their teeth and enumerated the various crimes committed by the Moon Worship Cult.
However, most of them have nothing to do with the Moon Worshiper himself. The Moon Worshiper himself was in too high a position to oppress the common people. Instead, he directly oppressed the royal family of Dali.
All the bad things that happened to the common people were done by the Moon Worshiper's men, but their crimes were indeed numerous, innumerable and outrageous.
Seeing this, the Nanman King knew that the people's hearts could be used, and shouted: "The Witch King in front of you is a tree spirit under the Moon Worshiper. Now let the daughter of the real Witch King, the new ruler of our Dali Kingdom, the descendant of Nuwa, the Queen of Dali, reveal the true face of this fake Witch King!"
After Zhao Linger put on the Nuwa suit, she looked extremely sacred, and she was standing in the center, her status was higher than that of the King of Nanman. The people were still guessing her identity just now.
Now that they knew Zhao Linger's identity, the people believed it and immediately knelt down.
"She is exactly like the Witch Queen back then!"
"This is our new ruler of Dali!"
"You look so wise and powerful. I'm here to meet you, my Lord!"
To be honest, the people are very resentful towards the Witch King. In recent years, the Witch King has been controlled by the Moon Worshiper, doing evil things and losing the support of the people. People in the world have been distrustful of the Witch King for a long time.
However, due to the constraints of feudal ideas, they did not dare to blame the monarch directly, but they really did not want to be ruled by the Witch King, even though they knew that many wrong things were done by the fake Witch King.
Now Dali Kingdom has a new monarch, and he is the descendant of Nuwa, the bloodline of the Witch Queen who saved the world back then. He looks sacred and solemn holding the Heavenly Serpent Staff, and is almost exactly the same as the statue of Nuwa in the Nuwa Temple. There is a divine glow on his face. The people are immediately convinced and full of expectations for the future.
A new dynasty brings a new atmosphere. The Dali Kingdom in the past was too rotten. Perhaps by replacing it with a new monarch with a good image and temperament, we can create a completely new situation?
The people always have expectations for the new dynasty. After all, "even the dog will dislike the ruler after three years". The people always hate the current rulers. Unless the new rulers are worse, they will miss the previous dynasty.
Seeing the people so excited, Zhao Linger felt a little nervous.
Murong Fu looked at Zhao Linger with encouraging eyes and said, "Linger, everyone is very impressed by you!"
Feeling Murong Fu's gaze, Zhao Linger felt relieved and said, "My subjects, please stand up. I will now break the illusion of this evildoer pretending to be my father and reveal his true identity!"
As she spoke, Zhao Linger cast a spell to break delusions.
Bang!
A puff of smoke flashed by, and the fake witch king turned into a tree spirit.
"It turns out to be a monster pretending to be the Witch King!"
"Kill this monster pretending to be the Witch King!"
"kill him!"
When the people saw that the Witch King was indeed an impostor tree spirit, they became more convinced of Zhao Linger and at the same time transferred all their resentment to the tree spirit, demanding that it be executed.
Zhao Linger naturally followed the will of the people, erected a pillar of fire, and burned the tree spirit to death in full view of the public, which drew cheers from the people.
Afterwards, Zhao Linger dealt with the Moon Worshipers in various ways. Her methods were quite experienced. She was lenient when necessary and strict when necessary. It could be said that there were no loopholes.
This surprised the King of Southern Barbarians, but she didn't know that this was Murong Fu's telepathic communication, teaching Zhao Linger step by step.
Through all these events, Queen Zhao Linger's prestige was gradually established.
However, in order to have a huge explosion of prestige and create a miracle, theocracy and royal power can be combined to completely make everyone in Dali convinced and no one dares to rebel again.
"My fellow subjects, due to the perverse deeds of the Moon Worshipping leader, Dali has been suffering from a long period of drought. Conflicts have frequently broken out between the Black Miao and the White Miao, resulting in many casualties. But no matter whether they are the Black Miao or the White Miao, they are all the people of Dali, and the Moon Worshipping Cult cannot represent the entire Black Miao. Most of the Black Miao people are no different from the White Miao people, and they are all targets of oppression by the Moon Worshipping Cult." Zhao Linger said in a loud voice.
This is a very basic political tactic of hers, uniting the majority and attacking the small group.
Although the Black Miao tribe is closely tied to the Moon Worship Cult, the population of the Black Miao tribe also accounts for half of the Dali Kingdom. It is impossible for Zhao Linger to wipe out half of the people of Dali Kingdom. After all, she is the descendant of the kind-hearted Nuwa, not Bo Moumou, a master of de-urbanization.
Moreover, most of the Black Miao people had nothing to do with the Moon Worship Sect, but they were still oppressed by the sect.
Therefore, Zhao Linger adopted a strategy of unity and appeasement towards these Black Miao people.
"Long live the Queen!"
"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"
"What the Queen said is very good. We all support Her Majesty!"
The people of the Black Miao tribe were originally a little uneasy. After all, the White Miao tribe took control of Dali City, the Moon Worship Sect was defeated, and most of the Black Miao military forces were taken prisoner. If the White Miao tribe took the opportunity to purge the Black Miao tribe, who knows how many people would die.
Now Zhao Linger has defined the nature of this coup, limiting the scope of the purge to the Moon Worship Sect and forgiving most of the Black Miao people.
The Black Miao people would naturally loudly support Zhao Linger. Some high-ranking leaders among the Black Miao have already realized that the king cannot be one-armed. They may be able to join Zhao Linger and become a force for Her Majesty the Queen to check and balance the White Miao and continue to maintain the balance of power in Dali.
When the Southern Barbarian King saw this, he knew that it was impossible for her to control Zhao Linger. Fortunately, she had no intention of controlling Zhao Linger, nor did she intend to clean up the Black Miao tribe, so she flattered him, "The Queen is wise, and the people are very grateful to you."
Zhao Linger continued, "Now, I want to restore the stability and unity of Dali Kingdom and restore the favorable weather. I will personally go to the Nuwa Temple to pray for rain for everyone. Goddess Nuwa will be merciful and let this dry land be rained down again. I want to make Dali Kingdom great again!"
Everyone was moved.
It has to be said that simple slogans are often very brainwashing and can easily move people's hearts. The people have great expectations for Zhao Linger.
They shouted:
"Long live the Queen! Let Dali be great again!"
In this situation, if Zhao Linger could really pray for rain successfully, she would be the incarnation of Nuwa.
"I will go to the Nuwa Temple. If you are willing to follow me, please follow me!" Zhao Linger announced.
"We would like to go!"
"go together!"
"Go and pray for rain for the queen!"
Zhao Linger stood up and sat on the dragon chariot with Murong Fu.
Someone curiously asked who Murong Fu was, and then they learned that Murong Fu used to be the son-in-law of the Dali Kingdom, and now he is the husband of the Dali Kingdom.
It is also said that the water monster outside Dali City was very terrifying before, and it was the king's husband who subdued the water monster. This king's husband Murong Fu is a Taoist master, and he and Queen Zhao Linger, the descendant of Nuwa, can be said to be a perfect match.
When the people saw Murong Fu, who was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament, and sat with Zhao Linger, they thought they were a perfect match made in heaven, and they became even happier.
"The queen has such a good husband, who is so young. Our Dali Kingdom will soon have a successor!"
"I was worried that our queen is so outstanding that no one would be worthy of her. However, this Immortal Murong has a good appearance and can subdue monsters. He is a perfect match for the queen!"
"Our Dali Kingdom has been in chaos for so many years, and now it is truly a time of peace and prosperity!"
Murong Fu's excellence is obvious to everyone, even a blind person can see it at a glance. Everyone thinks that Murong Fu and Zhao Linger are a perfect match, and they wish they could have ten or eight children right away to consolidate the foundation of the Dali Kingdom.
The Nuwa Temple is just outside the city of Dali. It is large but a little dilapidated.
The reason for its large scale is that it was glorious in the past. Although the title of the Three Emperors of Nuwa was taken away by Fuxi and she became a wild god in the mouths of many people, Nuwa's descendants live in Miaojiang. Nuwa's influence in Miaojiang is very great, so the scale of the Nuwa Temple is naturally large as well. It was also very prosperous and glorious in those days.
It is a little dilapidated. This is because after the rise of the Moon Worship Sect, the belief in Nuwa was suppressed. The Moon Worship Sect leader portrayed himself as a god on earth and naturally did not allow people to worship Nuwa.
Although there are still many people in Miaojiang who worship Nuwa, they dare not go to the Nuwa Temple to worship. Over time, the Nuwa Temple naturally declined.
"How did I perform?" After getting off the dragon chariot, Zhao Linger asked Murong Fu through telepathy.
"You performed well. You are worthy of being the smart Ling'er." Murong Fu said.
"Husband, do you think praying for rain will be successful?" Zhao Linger asked again.
"With your ability, praying for rain is definitely not difficult. If there is any problem, I can move the clouds from other places here, and it will rain even if God doesn't want it to rain." Murong Fu said, "You can rest assured!"
Zhao Linger became more confident and came to the statue of Nuwa. The King of Nanman and the people all knelt on the ground, looking at Zhao Linger's face which was almost exactly the same as the statue of Nuwa, and they became more convinced that Zhao Linger was the descendant of Nuwa.
Murong Fu also felt a little emotional, but as soon as he approached the statue of Nuwa, he felt a pull of spiritual power.
Murong Fu did not resist and allowed the spiritual power to take him into a strange space.
In this space, a beautiful young woman who looked 50% like Zhao Linger appeared. She was as pretty as a peach and as charming as a plum, with seductive eyes, and she looked at Murong Fu.
Murong Fu also looked at the beautiful young woman and already knew her identity. She should be Zi Xuan's daughter, Zhao Ling'er's mother, Lin Qing'er.
Lin Qing'er looked at Murong Fu and became more and more satisfied. She was not only satisfied with Murong Fu's appearance, but also satisfied with Murong Fu's power to break the shackles of fate. If her daughter followed Murong Fu, she would not repeat the deep and tragic fate like the descendants of Nuwa in the past.
More importantly, Murong Fu has the aura of Nuwa, and this aura of Nuwa makes Lin Qing'er feel more familiar.
"You don't seem surprised at all?" Lin Qing'er asked.
"I am very familiar with this spiritual power." Murong Fu said, "And I guess you should be my mother-in-law. After all, my wife Zhao Linger is a beauty, and her beauty is obviously inherited from you!"
Murong Fu was also complimenting Lin Qing'er in disguise.
"You really know how to please girls." Lin Qing'er said, "No wonder Ling'er likes you so much. You are not the one arranged by fate, but you have changed your fate. You have the power to break fate, which is amazing."
Murong Fu asked: "Mother-in-law, you seem to know the future?"
Lin Qing'er said: "You can see some of the destiny clearly. There is no you in the destiny, but you suddenly appeared and changed the predetermined destiny. This is magical."
If Murong Fu hadn't come here, it would have been Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao would have traveled through time to save Zhao Linger, completing a closed loop of time and space.
"If destiny has been changed, won't what happened in the past be affected?" Murong Fu asked.
"No." Lin Qing'er said, "This is why I say you are magical. The power of fate has been distorted by you."
Murong Fu asked curiously: "Mother-in-law, didn't you sacrifice yourself? What is your current state? Are you alive or dead?"
Lin Qing'er said, "You don't think that the spiritual power of Nuwa is only in us, the descendants of Nuwa, do you? Although Nuwa is dead, her power is still on the earth. This is the meaning of the mother of the earth. The earth is immortal, and Nuwa's power is immortal. After I died, I was brought here by Nuwa's power and protected by her power, because I was arranged here by the power of fate. Nuwa's power protected my residual soul and let me know a lot of things, a state between life and death."
"I thought fate was unchangeable, but your arrival changed the predetermined fate. I am very relieved. I feel a little guilty towards Ling'er. I am really afraid that she will repeat the fate of our Nuwa clan, but you have hope to end it. This is why I am very happy to see you and Ling'er together. Alas, even someone as strong as my mother can hardly resist this fate!"
Lin Qing'er was talking about her mother Zixuan.
Zi Xuan is the strongest descendant of Nuwa, and the woman that even the Demon Lord Zunlou can never forget, but in the end she cannot escape the fate of the Nuwa clan.
"Mother-in-law, you don't seem to hate your mother?" Murong Fu said, "Your mother suppressed you for her own love and made it difficult for you to grow up."
There is a drawback for the descendants of Nuwa, that is, when new descendants of Nuwa grow up, the spiritual power of the old descendants of Nuwa will be transferred to the bodies of the new descendants of Nuwa.
For the sake of her own happiness, Zi Xuan retained Nuwa's spiritual power, gained the ability to live forever, and accumulated power to allow herself and Xu Changqing to become immortals. She chose to suppress Lin Qing'er's growth, which can be said to be very selfish.
"You really know a lot." Lin Qing'er said, "I used to have some resentment towards my mother, but after understanding the fate of the Nuwa clan, I no longer hate her. She, like all of us descendants of Nuwa, is a miserable person played by fate. She tried her best, but her magical powers could not defeat fate, and her final choice was selfless and great. Can't I, as a daughter, forgive some of the mistakes she made in the past? Especially after having Ling'er, I can better understand a mother's feelings. Now thinking back to the past, every time my mother saw me, wasn't she extremely painful and extremely guilty?"
