I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon (Web Novel) - Chapter 478: Arts Brothers
Chapter 478: Arts Brothers
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After dinner, Ling Ping’an went upstairs to change into a new set of clothes.
His aunt bought it for him.
It was a very formal formal suit.
In fact, it was an evolution of the robes worn by the scholar-officials in the past.
The wide robe and big sleeves looked good!
The disadvantage was the wide robe and big sleeves. It was not very comfortable to wear.
However, since he was going to visit the ancestral hall, it was necessary to wear a formal suit.
In order to show his seriousness, Ling Ping’an took off the glasses that he had been wearing for many days and placed them on the table.
He also wore these glasses out of habit as they were decorative items.
When going to the ancestral hall and the hundred-year war memorial hall, he naturally had to be sincere.
In front of a true bodhisattva, one could not burn fake incense!
Finally, Ling Ping’an walked to the bathroom and combed his hair.
Looking at himself in the mirror, for some reason, Ling Ping’an felt that he looked a little more powerful without his glasses.
He touched his chin and said, “The current image… does have some aura!”
In the mirror, he still looked like a passerby, but he felt like he had changed his appearance.
Especially this aura, there was even a hint of a domineering aura.
Even he realized that in the mirror, his eyes were lively, and there was a hint of a domineering aura between his brows.
His pair of pupils were like the pupils of some ferocious beast.
Between the black and white, there was a faint sense of power, which made him have the thought that he could scare someone else with just a few glances.
“Are those glasses of mine still my seal?”
“Now that I’ve broken the seal, can I summon the wind, rain, and Lightning?”
He smiled and shook his head. Only children would believe in fairy tales.
And he had already grown up.
However…
This did not stop him from looking at himself in the mirror happily.
For a face-blind person, every time he discovered a new change in himself, it was something worth being happy about.
It was also something that needed to be remembered well.
Otherwise, if he could forget his own appearance, it would be a huge loss of face.
“Hmm…” He nodded in satisfaction. “My taste is really good!”
“That’s the taste of the first emperor of Qin!”
Although he did not understand why he would think of the first emperor of Qin, he still gently lifted the hem of his robe and said to himself in the mirror, “I… am the first emperor of Qin!”
“I’m the Ancestral Dragon!”
“Now, I will live another life!”
“I have hidden countless gold and silver treasures on Mount Li. As long as you lend me some money for the journey, when I return to Mount Li, I will take out the treasures and summon my personal army to wipe out the world. I will definitely not treat you badly!”
Then he smiled brightly.
Even an adult would be happy to be a middle-aged man.
However, he couldn’t see a shadow with a crown on his head in the mirror.
“I have hidden many treasures on Mount Li!”
“The Celestial Qin Star Terrace…”
“Xuan Bird Circle Formation flag…”
“Great Wall mechanism array…”
“And there are tens of thousands of immortal Qin coins!”
A long sigh then rippled through space and time.
It was an unimaginable wealth.
The wealth accumulated by the Immortal Qin Empire through countless years of war was in it.
…
At nine o’clock in the morning, one bus after another arrived at the deer song villa.
Ling Ping’an carried his cat and walked out of the elevator.
Many people had already arrived at the hall and started to line up.
As they lined up, they giggled and discussed various topics.
Ling Ping’an carried his cat obediently and ran to the end of a line.
There were two very young girls in the queue.
They were at most seventeen or eighteen years old and probably didn’t even go to university.
He listened to the chattering of the two little girls.
“Yun, did you go to the exhibition yesterday?”
“Let me tell you, Zhan Zhan is so handsome! He even gave me an autograph!”
While listening, Ling Ping’an lowered his head.
“Young people nowadays…” He shook his head, feeling that he was really old.
Thinking back to that time, when he and these little girls were so old.
Who in the class chased after celebrities?
The boys talked about killing everyone in the game, or how well the star of a certain football team played.
And the focus of the girls’ attention was always on the cosmetics, clothes, bags, and the boy who was especially good at playing on the court yesterday.
At that time, it was the primary school students’ business to chase after celebrities.
Therefore, the products were ridiculed at that time as the primary school students’ pocket money destroyer.
Unlike today, it was not only primary school students who chased after celebrities.
Middle School, high school, university, and even many working ladies were chasing after celebrities.
If they really chased after a good person, it would be fine.
The key was that the current traffic relied on lip-syncing, dancing, and acting by doubles.
Other than their fans, no one cared about their so-called works and stage.
However…
“Perhaps this is the era!” Ling Ping’an thought back to the past. When his generation played games, the adults called them ‘irresponsible’ and ‘Beat Generation’.
He was more or less relieved as each generation had a generation of people who liked them.
This was very normal.
Perhaps, those people who relied on selling corruption and sissies to make money that he looked down on did have some shining points!
Therefore, Ling Ping’an simply put his cat on the ground.
At the same time, he picked up his phone and started to read the news.
Today’s news was still dominated by the technology tycoon who was going to die on Mars.
There was no other way.
He had a lot of money!
In two hours, he had raised 300 billion Chinese yuan in investment.
It shocked the entire world.
Therefore, countless people were licking this successful entrepreneur on WeChat read.
Ling Ping’an looked at him and shook his head.
It was hard for him to understand what the others were thinking. wasn’t money enough to spend?
Why should he give up time and waste his life for something he didn’t bring with him?
Wasn’t it better to enjoy life while it lasted?
At this moment, his eardrums were covered by a loud scream.
“Ah!”
“Zhan Zhan!” The little girl next to him screamed, “Zhan Zhan, look at Mommy!”
Ling Ping’an looked in the direction of the little girl’s scream.
He saw a well-dressed girl with a lot of makeup on her face walking past the entrance of the Swallow Hall.
Countless girls cheered for him.
However, Ling Ping’an’s nose twitched slightly.
“Why do I Smell that stinky smell again?” He frowned slightly, but the salivary glands in his cheeks were already salivating.
“Strange!” He swallowed a large mouthful of saliva. “What’s going on?”
Although he was a gourmet, he never refused any delicacies.
Even those dark delicacies that countless people avoided, he had tried them before.
Stinky tofu, sour bamboo shoots, snail noodles…
In college, out of curiosity, he even bought the ultimate dark delicacy from land of Qin.
As long as that thing was opened, the taste was basically equivalent to locking a person in a dry toilet that had accumulated feces for a year.
It was so sour and refreshing!
However, as long as one accepted this setting, it would actually taste very fragrant.
Ling Ping’an had once used the smelly tofu technique to treat it.
After it was fried, it was golden yellow, and it tasted smelly and fragrant.
It was even better when it was wrapped in the chili sauce that was specially used for smelly tofu.
However…
“How can a person’s body have the smell of canned herring…”
“And it smells like a can of fried herring?”
Ling Ping’an couldn’t understand.
But when that person turned the corner, he seemed to see something. He stopped and looked in Ling Ping’an’s direction.
The two girls were extremely excited.
“Zhan Zhan! Ah… Zhan Zhan is looking at me!”
“I’m going to die!”
Ling Ping’an pursed his lips.
“Meow!”
His cat lay on the ground and growled at the direction of the flow.
“Little Boy!” Ling Ping’an picked it up. “We have to be polite!”
“Meow!”
The little guy obediently curled up in his master’s arms. It was cute and cute. It had a pair of big, cute eyes. It was very beautiful.
Gently, Ling Ping’an stroked its fur.
The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slowly.
A thought flashed through the deepest part of his heart.
“You take care of it so well…”
He couldn’t help but swallow another mouthful of saliva.
If he wasn’t a gentleman, he would have been able to control himself.
At this moment, he could transform into a wild beast and pounce on that creature on the ground.
…
“Tao Zhan, what are you looking at?” Sister Wang’s voice rang in his ears.
Tao Zhan immediately turned around. “I’m not looking at anything…”
“It’s just that… I feel that the cat is pretty good!”
He licked his lips, and his eyes were filled with possessiveness.
“Stop looking!” Sister Wang’s chubby hands pulled him back. “Let’s go!”
She looked at the crowd in the front hall.
“The people here are all rich and powerful… We can’t afford to offend them!”
Tao Zhan was not as obedient as before.
He was still wandering around.
A crazy thought appeared in his mind.
That cat… is mine!
As long as I have it, I will definitely be famous for another fifty years!
However, his manager was beside him. He lowered his head and his remaining rationality finally came online.
“Alright!” He turned around and smiled at his manager. “I know, sister Wang. I Won’t give you any trouble!”
Only then did the fat manager let down his guard.
This was Yan Lou.
Who knew if there would be some big shot among the people in line?
Such a big shot could crush a small shrimp like her with one finger.
Therefore, he hurriedly left with Tao Zhan, but his manager didn’t know that Tao Zhan’s eyes were already red.
As he walked, he kept turning his head.
His eyes were only on the cat.
The cat that was held in the arms of a young man.
“If I get it…”
“If I give it to my master…”
“It will definitely be popular for another fifty years!”
“It can even become a future artist of both virtue and art!”
He lowered his head, the desire in his heart boiling.
Nevertheless, all the guests here were invited by the royal family.
None of their backgrounds were simple.
And they didn’t lack money.
It seemed that they weren’t his fans either..
Thinking of his fans, Tao Zhan suddenly raised his head. “How could I have forgotten about it!”
He had a treasure in his house.
It was a treasure that his master had given him.
The things stored inside could tamper with the thoughts of others without anyone knowing.
“It’s settled then!” he thought.
Although he would definitely be punished if he used his master’s things without permission.
However, as long as he got his hands on that cat, it would be worth everything.
…
Ling Ping’an pursed his lips. Finally, his nose couldn’t smell the stench that was like the fermented pork in a jar.
“How strange!” he thought.
How did that person become red with such a strong stench?
Could it be that he became red because of the stench?
Was the traffic in the Imperial City like this?
After thinking about it, he slowly understood it.
“So that’s how it is!” he thought, “No wonder many people on WeChat read like to say ‘Tao Zhan Huang’!”
“So it’s because of the stench!”
This could be explained.
It was like coriander.
Those who liked it naturally liked it a lot, and those who hated it were like seeing a smelly dog’s feces.
“So… this is the true meaning of the infamous name?”
It was normal to love smelly things.
It was a fetish!
Ling Ping’an quietly moved his feet.
He wanted to stay away from the two little girls.
It wasn’t that he discriminated against people with special fetishes.
He was really afraid.
Fortunately, the bus that came to pick them up soon stopped at the door.
The staff with armbands began to arrange for everyone to board the bus.
Ling Ping’an deliberately waited for a while, waiting for everyone else to get on the bus.
Then, he took his invitation letter and picked a bus with fewer people. He found the innermost seat and sat down.
The moment he sat down, he stretched his back comfortably and put his cat aside.
“Be obedient!” He stroked his cat’s fur.
The bus started to move slowly. The driver seemed to have waited for a while. After receiving the notice, he drove the bus and followed the other cars out of Lu Ming villa.
After turning into the main road, they directly boarded the ring city highway.
At 10:05 pm, they arrived at the Great Xia Great Ancestor Memorial Hall at the center of the Imperial City.
Once yhe bus stopped in front of the memorial hall in a huge parking lot, the door opened and two young girls in volunteer costumes walked onto the bus.
The girl in the lead looked very cute.
She held a loudspeaker and said to the passengers in the car, “Welcome to Emperor Taizu’s Memorial Hall!”
“I’m Wen Qianqian, the volunteer responsible for guiding and introducing everyone today!”
As she said that, she bowed deeply.
The girl behind her also bowed and introduced herself.
“I’m Wen Qianqian, the volunteer responsible for supporting work!”
The two girls raised their heads at the same time and smiled sweetly. “Yes, we’re twins!”
“They’re also sophomores from the Literature Department of Central University!”
Ling Ping’an’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Junior Sister!” He immediately smiled kindly.
All the Arts in the world were brothers.
Although Central University was a world-famous university, it was hundreds of streets away from the three books he had read.
But…
Nowadays, it didn’t matter whether it was a famous university or three books.
It wasn’t easy for liberal arts students.
Compared to 300 years ago, their status had plummeted.
It must be known that 300 years ago, only those who wrote well could take the imperial examinations.
The current science students all learned strange skills and tricks at that time.
At that time, even a scumbag like Ling Ping’an was probably a prominent figure in the local community.
When he noticerd the science students who were in high spirits now, he could directly press them onto the ground and rub them.
“Don’t tell me that geometry, equations, calculus, high-energy physics, molecular chemistry…”
“I’m asking you, how do you spell the word ‘anise’?”
“I don’t think you can answer it, right? Underachiever!”
Now, it was the other way around.
Most of the students who entered the phase were science students.
Even the great guardian of the Supreme Court, who had nearly a hundred years of data, was mostly in science.
Now, even the students of the world-famous schools had come to this memorial hall to be tour guides.
And they even had to use the twins as a gimmick.
The world’s ethos was declining day by day, and the hearts of the people were not ancient!
Ling Ping’an sighed.
Then, he heard the two little girls say sweetly, “Dear guests, we are about to visit the memorial hall that was built in memory of Emperor Taizu, who founded the country, and the loyal generals around him during the era of Taizong and Gaozong!”
“The memorial hall displays the weapons, saddles, and manuscripts that Taizu used in his conquest of the world, as well as the important imperial edicts and documents after the founding of the nation…”
“Among them, the most important one is the first draft of the federal collection of essays, which laid down the basic framework for the later Federal Empire!”
Needless to say, everyone knew this.
The life of Emperor Taizu was extremely legendary.
He had a life experience comparable to Han Guangwu.
From the time he raised his army to the time he wiped out the world, it had only been 12 years.
It was cheating!
After 10 years of rest, 10 years of education, he used 20 years to create a huge fleet that could send tens of thousands of troops to the Northern Zhou dynasty.
Within five years, he forced the Butanians to sign the Xin ‘an treaty, recognizing the independence of the Northern Zhou dynasty.
Before that, he wrote the federal collection of essays.
It comprehensively described the path and framework of the Federal Empire, including the transition and arrangement between the era of political discipline and the era of constitutional government.
It also included the power system and institutional framework of the Federal Empire today.
It also included the basic framework of the federal system.
Later, after the hundred-year war ended, the manuscript of the federal collection of essays flowed to land of Qin. After the emperor of land of Qin read it, he touched his forehead and sighed, “If we had seen this book earlier, then the southern Zhou dynasty would not have been lost!”
This was because the hundred-year war was fought according to the strategy of this federal anthology.
It was not only on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield.
And in the world, the influence of this book was even greater.
Legend had it that every country’s political dignitaries had a copy of this book, and they would read it every night before they went to bed.
Then, the little girl continued to introduce it sweetly, “In addition, in the Taizu Memorial Hall, there are also the original manuscripts of the imperial edict written by Emperor Taizu!”
“It’s the imperial edict from the first year of Yi He!”
This time, even Ling Ping’an raised his head.
The imperial edict from the first year of Yi He could be said to be the watershed of the rule of law in the Federal Empire.
That was because before that, the feudal dynasties were implicated in murder.
Lao Tzu committed a crime, and his son was even considered light-hearted.
His entire family would die at any time.
And from this imperial edict onwards, the system of light-hearted sitting was officially abolished, and the world entered a society ruled by law.
The position of the Supreme Court was strengthened, and the nine great protectors were established for the first time.
More importantly, this was a legal document that reconciled the ethnic conflicts and put down the ‘Huayi Defense’ that the Central Plains dynasty had always held.
It was in this order that the great ancestor officially announced that the ethnic minorities were the people of the Empire and the ‘parents’ of the emperor. The Empire respected the customs of all ethnic minorities and guaranteed to protect their freedom of belief from infringement.
At the same time, he announced the release of all descendants of the war criminals of the ethnic minorities who had been captured in the war.
He lifted all restrictions on the royal family and allowed them to freely engage in all industries that were permitted by law. He also gave them all legal rights.
That was when Gao Zong was born. Mr. Hong Li, a direct descendant of the imperial family of the Puppet Dynasty, wrote a book with a few good friends and wrote the last of the four famous works, namely The Dream of the Red Chamber.
The masterpiece end of the classical era.
After The Dream of the Red Chamber, there were no more great classical literature writers.
Naturally, this imperial edict became a national treasure.
Very few people knew its whereabouts. There was a legend that it was finally brought to the imperial mausoleum by the great ancestor, just like the preface to the Orchid Pavilion.
But unexpectedly, its original manuscript still existed, and it was in the great ancestor’s Memorial Hall.
But…
“Why haven’t I heard about this?”
The little girl continued to introduce sweetly, “This imperial edict was originally kept in the core collection room of the Great Ancestor Memorial Hall…”
“Only when the Emperor ascends the throne will it be taken out and shared with the officials and guests of the world to feel the great ancestor’s benevolence and righteousness!”
“Today, it is the Emperor’s special edict. Take it out and share it with the heroes of the world!”
“Therefore, when everyone visits later, you must pay attention to order and avoid noise and quarrels!”
Even if they didn’t say these things, Ling Ping’an would still abide by them.
After all, today’s world believed that the late Emperor Taizu, who had been dead for more than 280 years, was really a great hero who had saved the world!
No matter who came to his memorial hall, they would pay their utmost respect.
Even to his enemies.
