Chapter 134: Ziwei Taboo
No one expected that someone would actually dare to kill someone in this golden palace, and the person killed was a princess.
They all thought that even if the Taoist in the black cloak had a mysterious origin and was not afraid of the emperor, he was just a little arrogant in his words and would definitely not directly confront them.
But the headless body makes people believe that this Taoist in black cloak really has no taboos.
Maybe he won't do anything to the emperor, but he won't care about the emperor at all.
"Susu..."
Following the emperor's order, figures appeared around Jiang Lin.
Each of them is a practitioner and is over fifty years old.
For the many worshippers outside the hall, they absolutely do not want to be enemies with Jiang Lin, the Black Law Mage.
Even if there was an order from the emperor, they obviously didn't care what the emperor did.
What's more, they were not eating royal food.
However, since even the dukes and ministers offer sacrifices, it is natural that the royal family would not be without them.
Moreover, loyalty can be fully guaranteed.
There are generally two types of royal offerings. One is the practitioners trained by the royal family since childhood, and their practice is for the emperor.
There is another type, which is the practitioner of the art of supporting the dragon. His skills are already bound to the emperor, and they prosper and suffer together.
No matter which one they were, they would only obey the emperor's orders without any scruples.
Jiang Lin raised his eyes and looked at the eight figures surrounding him.
Three monks, two Taoists, and three laymen.
The eight people had a very good understanding of each other. Their energy intertwined and turned into an invisible net that enveloped Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin stood there quietly, as if he didn't notice anything, except for the humming of the Zhenwu sword in his hand.
The energies of both sides were colliding and confronting each other, and no one acted rashly.
Jiang Lin was thinking that if he could take out a few people in an instant, even if he was seriously injured, he would be able to escape unscathed from the siege of eight people. That was just a dream.
The eight people had the same idea. Loyalty was one thing, but out of loyalty, they could attack the Black Law Mage regardless of the consequences.
But, matters of life and death are different.
No one wants to be the one who dies.
The Taoist in the black cloak was obviously too young, but he gave the eight people a feeling that if they took action, someone would die before him.
For a moment, no one dared to move and the situation was deadlocked.
The others stepped back a lot.
The prince was no longer in a daze, and he kept backing away, shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!"
King Qin on the side watched quietly, his eyes meeting Bai Hua outside the hall for a moment.
This moment made Baihua stunned for a moment, and then he nodded slowly.
Upon seeing this, the King of Qin hid himself among the royal relatives and stopped making any moves.
Miaoqing was closest to Jiang Lin at the moment, but was also isolated outside the encirclement.
She looked at Jiang Lin's back and wanted to take action, but hesitated.
"Good granddaughter."
General Wang stood beside Miaoqing, his lips moved slightly, and his voice entered Miaoqing's ears.
Miaoqing didn't look back, but just trembled slightly.
General Wang's voice rang in her ears.
"Just do whatever you want to do, don't worry about it."
"Grandpa sent you to practice and learn Taoism because he wanted you to be free and unrestrained."
"Just do as you wish. Grandpa is here for the rest."
"How can I, the good daughter of the Wang family, be so hesitant?"
Miaoqing listened to her grandfather's voice, her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
"Ah."
She nodded gently and took a step forward under General Wang's gratified eyes.
"Brush it!"
A scroll emerged from Miaoqing's sleeves!
On the scroll, the surface is mottled and yellowed, and depicts a god.
He has red hair and beard, a divine eye between his eyebrows, one hand holds high a golden whip, and the other hand chants the Lingguan spell.
"The way of heaven is constant, and the way of earth is eternal."
"The most wonderful and mysterious God, deep and dark."
"The ancestor of Taiqing, the seven orifices are bright."
"The Three Emperors are summoning, the Golden Court of Great Harmony!"
"Hurry up and send the orders from the Three Emperors!"
A cold voice flashed by, and the secret mantra was completed in an instant with the blessing of magic power!
"boom!!!"
The scroll suddenly exploded, and a red divine light rose up around the nun!
"Brother Jiang Dao!"
It only took a moment from the burst of divine light to the moment Jiang Lin heard Miaoqing's cry!
It was at this moment that Jiang Lin moved.
"I know the names of the Five Thunder Gods. They come as fast as lightning when called. They are iron-faced messengers with majestic power. They save people from suffering and cut off evil spirits. All gods listen to my voice."
"Respectfully obey! The command of the Nine-Chen Divine Heaven Jade Purity True King!"
Under the mantra, thunder arrived in an instant, gathered on the Zhenwu sword, and rendered it vermilion!
Without any extra words, Miaoqing and Jiang Lin burst out with divine light and thunder with silent understanding!
"boom!!!"
The red and vermilion mixed together and turned into a hurricane-like divine light, mixed with thunder in the hurricane!
The hurricane seemed to connect the sky and the earth, and even shattered the roof of the golden palace!
It sounds slow, but in fact it only takes a moment.
"Amitabha!"
At this time, three monks among the eight people took action.
"Buzz!"
A diamond-like Zen light emerged, like a solid wall, surrounding the hurricane, trying to confine and dissipate it.
These three monks all practiced Vajra Zen, and their practice was very proficient and orthodox.
The three of them form one, and their Vajra energy exudes an indestructible quality.
However, landing on the divine light hurricane was not so effective...
"Mighty Sword."
Suddenly, a cold shout was heard in the hurricane.
"Zheng!"
The scarlet sword light was wrapped in thunder and flew out from the hurricane!
But the target is not the eight practitioners present, but...
emperor!
In an instant, the sword light broke through the shackles of Vajra Zen and headed straight for the emperor sitting on the high throne!
"Roar!!"
A dragon roar came from the emperor, and the emperor's dragon energy evolved and transformed into a real red-gold dragon, with bared fangs and claws, biting the sword light.
"Boom..."
The sword light shattered, and the real dragon's eyes were full of majesty. He looked around, wanting to strangle the madman who offended the emperor's majesty.
However, after seeing Jiang Lin, the emperor's dragon energy stagnated for a moment.
Just this moment...
"Imperial command! Train of Three-Five Divine Thunder!"
Miaoqing activated the spirituality in the portrait of Wang Lingguan, and a ray of thunder burst out!
"Boom!"
The red thunder passed through the hurricane and collided with the Vajra Zen!
"Buzz!"
The energy visible to the naked eye spread out, knocking over countless people and stirring up clouds of dust.
When the dust settled, there was no trace of Jiang Lin and Miao Qing.
Only two figures could be vaguely seen flying out of the hall.
"Chase! No matter if he lives or dies!"
The emperor's expression was extremely gloomy. That Taoist actually wanted to attack him!
This time, the emperor was really angry. The eight practitioners rushed out in their own ways.
"All dispersed for me!"
The emperor looked around and growled, "If even one word of what happened in this palace gets out, you will all be punished!"
After saying this, the emperor turned around and left without waiting for the ministers to speak.
Behind him, Concubine Mei hurriedly followed.
The King of Qin raised his head and looked at the emperor, and he narrowed his eyes.
The emperor's hands were shaking, and even though he kept them in his sleeves, the King of Qin could see it.
His brother, the emperor, was already scared.
Amidst the noise, the King of Qin turned silently and left the hall, and was greeted by Baihua.
"My Lord, it's done."
Baihua whispered.
King Qin nodded slightly, took Zhou Rou's hand, and left the Taiji Hall.
"Father, the Taoist priest..."
Zhou Rou couldn't help herself and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The King of Qin turned his head, smiled and said something comforting, then left the palace with his entourage and Baihua.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the King of Qin said with a smile, "My daughter, please get in the carriage and go back home first. Your father and Mr. Baihua have some things to do."
"Father, be careful."
Zhou Rou didn't know what her father wanted to do, but she nodded obediently. No matter what her father wanted to do, since he didn't let her follow him, there must be a reason.
She knew very well that if she stayed here, she would only cause trouble.
The King of Qin watched his royal carriage leave, looked at Baihua, and sighed: "In the end, my brother was afraid."
Bai Hua was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Your Majesty means that before that, Your Majesty..."
"That's right, my brother has been setting up a plan."
The King of Qin walked on the street with his hands behind his back, and said softly, "He knew that the granddaughter of the Wang family could not possibly be the wife of the Crown Prince, but he still arranged for Concubine Mei to ask for her hand in marriage."
"What do you think he did it for?"
Bai Hua shook his head and said, "I don't know, I always feel it's weird."
"Because my brother expected General Wang to refuse and Daoist Master Jiang to step forward."
"From the very beginning, my brother's goal was to push Taoist Jiang to the opposite side of the crown prince."
"The prime minister's little daughter has a cold temperament. How could she possibly remember her childhood playmates?"
"The daughter of the Wang family and Taoist Priest Jiang are both included."
Baihua frowned and said, "But, if the prince and Taoist Jiang confront each other, will it be good for Your Majesty?"
"Who knows?"
The King of Qin smiled and sighed, "My brother wants to take back all the power."
"Although I don't know what he is going to do, he used Zhou Mei as a knife to destroy the Second Prince. The next step should have been for the Crown Prince to completely confront Taoist Jiang when his mother was humiliated."
"But no one expected that Taoist Jiang would actually take action in the Golden Palace and chop off the head of that vixen."
“It’s really refreshing.”
King Qin praised him and continued, "This is the first time that my brother's plan has been disrupted. Zhou Mei's death has resulted in the dethronement of the Second Prince. This is unacceptable to my brother."
"Because Zhou Mei obviously has more uses."
"No, or rather, this step may also be within the calculations of the emperor's brother. He must have investigated Master Jiang, and it is impossible that he does not know Master Jiang's temper."
Bai Hua continued, "But, Your Majesty would never have thought that Daoist Master Jiang would..."
"Yes, up until this point, my brother was still sitting on the Diaoyutai because he had figured out what Taoist Jiang had done, even though this incident had disrupted his plans."
"But no one expected that Daoist Master Jiang would be so decisive and ruthless, directly drawing his sword against the emperor, and even afterwards, he did not attract the backlash of the emperor's dragon energy."
The King of Qin let out a long sigh, as if he was letting out the depression he had been feeling.
"At that moment, I was sure that my brother was really scared."
"His greatest reliance, or the biggest confidence in getting a Black Law Mage to join the game, is the Emperor's Dragon Qi."
"But from the Emperor's Dragon Qi's perspective, unless Daoist Master Jiang really kills the Emperor, there will be no backlash against Daoist Master Jiang."
"After all, if we really talk about it, the relationship between Daoist Master Jiang and Emperor Ziwei is even higher than that between them and the Emperor."
As we all know, since ancient times, the emperors of the human race have all worshipped Ziwei.
Those who do not worship Ziwei are not orthodox.
In this case, a large part of the source of the emperor's dragon energy comes from the blessing of the Purple Star.
So the question is, will the power bestowed by the Purple Star harm the disciples of the Purple Star Emperor in the human world?
Perhaps other disciples would, but Taoist Master Jiang is obviously not among them.
Below the North Pole, above Fengdu, in the human world, there is only one Black Law Wizard.
This is no longer as simple as just being a disciple.
Only seedling...
The King of Qin sighed and said, "Now, the only question is why my brother is so extreme. He is very anxious, but what is he anxious about?"
"Evil ways? Haha..."
The King of Qin made a guess on his own, and then denied it.
The three evil sects were unable to take over Hangzhou, and with such a heavy weight, it was obviously not enough for the emperor to make a desperate bet.
But what else is there?
"My Lord, let's..."
Baihua asked hesitantly.
Just five words were enough to make Baihua's palms sweat and she stared at King Qin closely.
The King of Qin shook his head slightly.
"It's not the right time yet. You can't move until you see your brother's final purpose."
The King of Qin looked at the city wall in the distance.
The Suzaku Street outside the imperial palace is very spacious, and you can directly see the city wall and the sun slowly setting above the wall.
The sunlight made King Qin squint his eyes.
"No matter what, he is still the emperor and the legitimate heir."
After saying that, King Qin patted Baihua on the shoulder, smiled and walked away.
"Let's go and see Taoist Priest Jiang and Taoist Priest Miaoqing."
The King of Qin said this with a smile, and as he walked, a jade pendant appeared from his waist.
No, it’s more like a jade talisman than a jade pendant.
On it, a purple star mark is etched and filled with gold thread.
The King of Qin gently took off the jade pendant, and his figure suddenly blurred for a moment.
In Baihua's eyes, the figure of King Qin was blurry, and he took a step forward, which was a hundred feet away!
King Qin, you have accomplishments!
If a practitioner saw this, he would simply find it incredible!
The prince is the most noble person besides the emperor. Such an existence is also blessed by the royal dragon energy, but the price is that he cannot practice cultivation.
But at this moment, the King of Qin did what only practitioners could do.
Incredible.
King Qin, how did you do it?
Baihua was not surprised, as it was obviously not the first time he had seen the King of Qin behave like this.
He used similar methods to catch up with the King of Qin.
Baihua followed King Qin and traveled through Kyoto. King Qin seemed to know where Jiang Lin and Miaoqing would be, and walked straight in one direction.
We came to the westernmost part of Kyoto, which is also the largest civilian district.
King Qin stopped on top of an attic, with Baihua following closely behind him.
"there."
The King of Qin put his hands behind his back and looked over with squinted eyes.
In the direction he pointed, ten figures, two in front and eight behind, were jumping between the houses at high speed.
