Chapter 165: Dragon God's Message
I thought this was a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be just a lost bastard who was cheated.
In the eyes of General Xuanjia, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion and the emperor are two parallel lines. Apart from that, he knows even less than Jiang Lin.
No, that's not right either.
"Inside the Wet Bone Forest lies the evil spirit of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion!"
General Xuanjia was not really a fool, he was just blinded by greed. Now that he had come to his senses, he quickly looked up and said.
However, just after he finished speaking, he was met with Zuo Tongxuan's indifferent gaze.
General Xuanjia immediately understood.
Isn't this entire Wet Bone Forest now covered by black feathers?
How could Zuo Tongxuan not know that the evil spirit of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion was hidden in the Wet Bone Forest?
"Detention."
Zuo Tongxuan glanced at the general in black armor and waved his hand.
Suddenly, lines of black evil energy spread out and wrapped up General Xuanjia. Then they shrank smaller and smaller until they were only the size of a fist and were put into Zuo Tongxuan's sleeve.
The Black Prison that shrouded the Wet Bone Forest was, after all, only a temporary measure. Today, the Black Armored General is no longer in the Black Prison, but is being imprisoned by Zuo Tongxuan using a method similar to the World in His Sleeves.
Jiang Lin knew without even thinking what would be the outcome for him.
"Xuan Ying, have you learned it?"
Zuo Tongxuan looked at Jiang Lin and asked with a smile.
In the eyes of General Xuanjia, the crime was enough to sentence him to death. In the eyes of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion and the old emperor, the Wet Bone Forest had to use all its efforts to deceive people and had some roots in the underworld.
They are all just "teaching materials" taught by Zuo Tongxuan through words and deeds.
Whether it is General Xuanjia, the layout of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion in the underworld, or even what the Emperor of Zhou wants to do.
These things are big things in Jiang Lin's eyes. They are the major cases he has been running around and investigating so far.
But this is because these things did not attract the attention of the real big guys.
In other words, those big guys are too busy and have no time to deal with these things.
Again, if it wasn't for the fact that it involved the succession of the throne of Zhou, the ancestor of all nations, and the fact that Ziwei had appointed him in a certain sense, plus the fact that Jiang Lin, the only person in the world, was involved from the beginning.
Otherwise, the Zhou Kingdom’s trivial affairs would not be worthy of Wei Tianjun’s attention.
"Learned."
Jiang Lin nodded. Zuo Tongxuan taught him a lot. This was true teaching by example and it was all practical stuff.
The name of this lesson is "How to be a real black law master".
"Well, now that the matter here is over, you can go back to the human world first."
Zuo Tongxuan smiled and nodded, then said seriously: "Whether it is me or the Lord of Heaven, we have to take time out temporarily to take care of this matter."
"Don't be dependent on me. How we investigate next is up to you."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin was not surprised, but nodded in understanding.
The Three Realms are vast, and there are many things going on, especially now, when chaos is frequent in the Three Realms.
In this situation, the Black Law Division would like to use one Black Law Mage as ten of them.
"Yes, junior, please keep this in mind."
"Let's go."
Zuo Tongxuan nodded, raised his hand and summoned a portal to the mortal world, which landed in front of Jiang Lin.
After Jiang Lin bowed, he turned and walked into the door, and his figure slowly disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, neither Jiang Lin nor Zuo Tongxuan cared about the name of the Black Armor General, his background, or who backed him.
Because none of this matters, not at all.
Jiang Lin didn't care because this General Xuanjia had lost his value to him now. There was no need to get to know him at all and it would be of no help to the whole case.
Zuo Tongxuan didn't care because in the eyes of this big guy, the only fate of General Xuanjia was to die on the Immortal Execution Platform. No matter what kind of immortal or god he was, once he was on the Immortal Execution Platform, the only outcome was death.
And Wei Tianjun wouldn't care at all.
What Wei Tianjun cares about is the Ghost Emperor that this Black Armor General could implicate.
The three realms are in chaos, but the underworld must not be in chaos.
Whether it is killing the chicken to scare the monkey or to learn a lesson, Fengdu must express his opinion.
The fall or punishment of a Ghost Emperor can just serve to deter those forces that have ideas about the underworld.
Jiang Lin returned to the world of the living through the portal.
But the place where he appeared was not in the Third Prince's Palace.
"here it is……"
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows. Could it be random this time too?
He looked around and found that this was not the case. Jiang Lin was quite familiar with this place.
It was not long ago that Zen Master Dao Ji was brought in to cut off the low mountain outside Kyoto that was covered with ashes by the heretic preachers.
At this moment, Jiang Lin was halfway up the mountain, with a small pavilion next to him.
And inside the pavilion, there was a figure sitting with his back to Jiang Lin.
After seeing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but narrow his eyes and walked over.
"tread……"
With the sound of crisp footsteps, Jiang Lin walked to the pavilion, but did not go in, just stopped there.
"Why don't you come in, little friend?"
"It's going to rain soon."
The figure in the pavilion also noticed Jiang Lin's arrival, and there was a hint of smile in his voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with thought. He walked into the pavilion, stopped, and still stood behind the figure.
"Boom!"
Almost at the moment when Jiang Lin just walked into the pavilion, the sky suddenly darkened and heavy rain fell from the sky without any warning.
"They say spring rain is as precious as oil, so is autumn rain precious or cheap?"
The man turned his back to Jiang Lin and spoke with a smile. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, saying with a smile: "Young friend, please take a seat?"
Jiang Lin glanced at the sudden heavy rain, walked around the man, and sat down opposite him.
It was not until then that Jiang Lin saw the man's face clearly.
He is a very elegant middle-aged man. Every part of his body, including his beard, is exquisite and sophisticated.
"It seems that you are very surprised?"
The man raised his hand and waved his sleeves across the table. Suddenly, a set of exquisite gold and porcelain tea set appeared on the table.
As he spoke, he began to make tea. Every move he made seemed to have been measured with a ruler, perfectly in line with the etiquette of the tea ceremony.
"It was a bit unexpected."
Jiang Lin raised his eyes, and a hint of dark gold flashed in his pupils, but it faded away immediately.
The passage to the world of the living was opened by Zuo Tongxuan, and this man was obviously waiting here on purpose.
Or, this man's supernatural powers and spiritual attainments have reached the level where he can see through Zuo Tongxuan's methods and even monitor his actions.
Or, Zuo Tongxuan knew about the man's existence and deliberately sent Jiang Lin here.
If it was the former, there was no need for Jiang Lin to resist. An existence that was superior to Zuo Tongxuan was waiting for Jiang Lin on purpose, and Jiang Lin had no room to fight back.
If it is the latter, then it means that in Zuo Tongxuan's eyes, this man will not have any ill will towards Jiang Lin. If that is the case, Jiang Lin naturally has no need to do anything.
Jiang Lin was more inclined to the latter. Although the Three Realms were large, it was rare to find an immortal god who could surpass a deacon of the North Pole Black Law Department. Just now, Jiang Lin opened the Fengdu Dharma Eye for a moment.
If an ordinary practitioner were to spy on the existence of a suspected righteous god, he would inevitably suffer a severe backlash.
But Jiang Lin is different. He possesses the fifth-grade celestial talisman of the Arctic Exorcism Institute. Strictly speaking, he is already a god or immortal, but currently he only has an empty shell.
But in many cases, this shelf can be of great use.
For example, just now, under Jiang Lin's Fengdu Dharma Eye, he saw that the man in front of him had the unique aura of the earthly gods.
This means that this man is a true god, but not a god in heaven, but a god on earth.
Combined with the sudden heavy rain just now, Jiang Lin already had some guesses about the identity of the man in front of him.
"please."
When Jiang Lin came back to his senses, a cup of tea was already placed in front of him.
The fragrance of tea rises with the mist, but it does not dissipate. Instead, it gathers above the teacup like clouds.
"Would you like to try the top-quality Dongting Cloud Mist?"
The man said this with a smile, a look of complacency on his face. It was obvious that he was very confident in the tea ceremony and had studied it very well.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know anything about tea."
Jiang Lin picked up the teacup, but the strange mist did not dissipate. Instead, it followed Jiang Lin's movements and continued to hover slowly above the teacup.
“Tea tasting is not about whether you understand tea, but whether you understand the artistic conception of the person who brews the tea.”
The man smiled and gestured to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin put down the teacup and looked at the heavy rain.
"Autumn is austere and even has the saying of autumn plague, but an autumn rain is not considered a bad thing."
"It's just a little late. It should have rained at the beginning of autumn half a decade ago."
Jiang Lin watched the rain dripping down the eaves of the pavilion, looked at the man opposite him, and said, "Excuse me, sir, is this rain caused by your own pleasure, or is it in compliance with an imperial order?"
When the man heard this, he was not surprised that Jiang Lin had hinted at his identity in his words. He just smiled reservedly.
"Good weather and good harvests are what the people expect, and naturally it is what we should strive for."
The man said: "After this rain, the winter will be colder, but we will have a good harvest."
"If it's colder, someone might die."
Jiang Lin muttered to himself.
"Everything grows and dies, and there will always be a price."
The man sighed helplessly and said, "I just hope that I won't receive any imperial edicts from the Ministry of Plague next year, and that there won't be any official documents from the Tianshu Court in the winter."
Jiang Lin looked up at the man and said, "The Three Realms are in chaos right now. I don't think it's a big deal if you just disobey my orders a little bit."
"Ok?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled strangely and said, "A black law mage is actually telling others to disobey the order?"
"When it comes to people's livelihood, all rules must give way."
Jiang Lin looked at the man in front of him and said, "I guess you have the same idea?"
"After all, all matters concerning the making of clouds and rain in the Great Zhou and even in the Southern Continent must go through your Excellency's hands."
"If you want the people to live and work in peace and prosperity, you are the one who should be the first."
After he finished speaking, the man smiled and said, "Did you see my identity?"
"I guessed a bit."
Jiang Lin stood up, bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Dragon God."
Just now, Jiang Lin's Fengdu Dharma Eye shone on the man in front of him. Although there was no backlash, Jiang Lin closed his Dharma Eye after just one glance.
This means that the status of the man in front of him is definitely not low.
There are not many immortals and gods in the world who can communicate with Zuo Tongxuan, or at least gain his recognition.
The heavy rain just now was a hint from the man.
Adding all this together, there is only this one possibility.
It is directly under the jurisdiction of Xiayuan Metropolitan Prefecture and is under the command of Emperor Dongyin, the third-rank water official who relieves disasters in Xiayuan, and is in charge of the four great dragon gods.
Being able to talk to Zuo Tongxuan allowed Jiang Lin, the holder of the North Pole Fifth-Rank Heavenly Talisman, to only have a brief glimpse.
Plus this heavy rain.
This was the only possibility Jiang Lin could think of.
The most important thing was that he could talk to Zuo Tongxuan, which helped Jiang Lin narrow down the scope a lot.
After all, the Heavenly Official Emperor among the Three Emperors is his own emperor in combination, or in other words, "the Heavenly Official Ziwei Emperor who bestows blessings on the first-rank emperor in the Lantern Festival" is the manifestation of one of the powers of his own emperor.
To be honest, in a sense, the great dragon god in front of him is from the same system as Jiang Lin.
Although it's a bit far-fetched, it can't be said to be wrong.
"Hello, young friend."
The man, or the Four Great Dragon Gods, did not refute but nodded in agreement, which also showed that Jiang Lin's guess was correct.
"I wonder what the Great Dragon God wants to do for me?"
After Jiang Lin revealed his identity, he went straight to the point.
No matter how powerful a righteous god is, his most important priority, or fundamental purpose, is the stability of the people's livelihood. This will never change.
Among them, the Great Dragon God, who is in charge of all matters related to the making of clouds and rain in the Four Rivers, is naturally an extremely important link.
The majority of people in this era rely on the weather for their livelihood and the land for their food.
The value of these four words "good weather and good harvest" is extremely heavy.
He would never think that such a great god who holds a high position among the gods in the world and can almost be said to have achieved the pinnacle of the world would have nothing better to do than to come to him for tea.
"Just being entrusted by others."
The Four Rivers Great Dragon God met Jiang Lin's puzzled gaze, smiled helplessly, and said: "Someone came to me and asked me to say something to you, my friend."
"Although the Zhou Kingdom is large, there are not many gods entrenched here who can talk to you and have a relationship with you."
"Apart from a few city gods, it's just me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin said nothing and just waited for the next words from the great dragon god.
As I just said, in a sense, this great dragon god who is directly under the command of the Water Official Emperor is in the same system as Jiang Lin.
The same goes for the City God, who can be considered a righteous god who has a certain connection with Jiang Lin.
Who could go to such great lengths to find such a righteous god and make this great dragon god make a special trip?
Jiang Lin didn't have to wonder for long before the big dragon god in front of him spoke.
"Who asked me to pass on a message? I hope you won't ask. The other party also didn't let me say it."
The Four Great Dragon Gods had a strange look on their faces. They opened their mouths but said nothing. Finally, they knocked on the table helplessly.
"Forget it, I really can't explain it. You should read it yourself. These are the other party's original words."
"Please don't take your anger out on me, after all, I'm just a messenger."
As he spoke, the tea aroma mist above the teacup in front of Jiang Lin began to evolve and turned into a string of words.
Jiang Lin took a quick look.
"Put down everything you are doing and wait for my young master. Don't be ungrateful."
