Chapter 174 Arctic Team Building
The relationship between the human world and heaven, or between humans and gods, has always been one of mutual dependence, mutual support, and mutual reliance.
God needs people to worship Him and to preach to Him.
People need God's protection and need God to maintain the rotation of the four seasons, life and death, and good weather.
There was never a relationship of superiors and subordinates between them, but on the surface, people were worshipping God.
But at the root, the two cannot do without each other.
Even more, people can, through practice or belief, ascend to heaven or become gods after death.
So this also means that, at least at a certain level, God cannot interfere too much with people.
For example, as the god of the underworld, it would be quite troublesome for Marshal Sang to enter and leave the emperor's palace freely.
Because no matter what, the emperor is still the emperor after all, and under the protection of the emperor's dragon energy, even gods cannot interfere.
Not to mention, he wanted to stir up trouble within the palace, under the emperor's nose.
Even if what the emperor is doing now has become evil and is no longer tolerated by the righteous path.
But the emperor is still the emperor, and until the old emperor leaves the throne, he is still the only king of the Zhou Kingdom.
Therefore, even a righteous god like Marshal Sang, who went to the palace with the purpose of exorcising evil and upholding righteousness, faced many constraints.
At times like this, more support is needed.
It comes from a certain mage, through the blessing bestowed by the Purple Star Mantra.
The emperor exercises authority in accordance with Ziwei, which is the will of heaven.
Jiang Lin can basically be regarded as the "spokesperson" closest to Emperor Ziwei in this vast world.
After Jiang Lin recited the Ziwei Commandment Mantra and blessed the Ziwei Divine Light and the North Pole Mantra, Sang Tong did not dare to say that there were no taboos. At least within the palace, as long as he did what he wanted to do, there would be no impact.
"Sang Tong, I respectfully accept your order!"
Marshal Sang responded in a deep voice, and the ritual was completed.
Under Jiang Lin's gaze, the three-meter-tall Fengdu warrior with a bull's head and a human body turned into a dark beam of light and left, heading straight for the Kyoto Imperial City.
"Old Emperor..."
Jiang Lin's eyes were deep and restrained as he looked towards the direction of the imperial palace.
It’s almost time. The old emperor is obviously unable to bear it any longer, or he is already speeding up his plan.
Now it’s not just about exposing the truth, but directly unfolding it.
The evil spirit, which is a higher level than evil, was obviously something that the old emperor actively created. No wonder the old emperor could control Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion to some extent.
The two are birds of a feather.
The old emperor needs evil spirits to achieve certain goals, and Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion naturally wants to see the "prosperity of evil ways."
I think, even in Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion, there are not many evil spirits.
No matter how this evil spirit came from and who it obeys, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion will be happy to help.
Moreover, Jiang Lin had a guess. Perhaps, the evil spirit created by the emperor was actually an evil spirit from Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion?
This possibility is very high. Otherwise, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion is a powerful evil force spread across the four continents. If it were not closely connected or profitable, how could it allow itself to be controlled by the emperor?
Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion cooperates with the emperor, the former provides evil resources, and the latter uses this to give birth to evil spirits.
Jiang Lin built a series of causal lines in his mind.
The emperor gave birth to the evil demon in order to further use the evil demon's treacherous abilities to "pollute" many "inferior practitioners".
Although these practitioners are essentially evil, they do have true Qi.
No matter what, we are no longer mortals...
There was a flash of thought in Jiang Lin's eyes.
If this is the case, then are these inferior practitioners also a kind of "resource" needed by the emperor?
This is not the first time the emperor has done such a thing.
The three major evils brought about by the ghost fetus, and the fetal blood created the demon.
They are all done using some specific existence as a resource, or as a sacrifice.
Now, it’s just a matter of getting familiar with the process and doing it on a bigger and more thorough basis.
Perhaps in the Hangzhou incident, the emperor not only wanted to conduct experiments, but also wanted to accumulate experience and repair the plank road.
The three evil ways are not usable. This was the emperor’s discovery after the incident in Hangzhou.
Then, the emperor shifted his target and started his real plan.
Once this goal is achieved, the emperor's ultimate goal will also be achieved.
In Jiang Lin's mind, lines of cause and effect were entangled and intertwined, finally forming a blank space with a big question mark in the middle.
This question mark is the emperor’s ultimate goal.
"It's a pity. If we knew the emperor's ultimate goal, we might be able to infer more things."
Jiang Lin sighed helplessly.
There is no doubt that the emperor's plan will fail in the end, because Jiang Lin has already seen the King of Qin and the destiny appointed by Ziwei.
However, in this process, people will definitely die, many, many people will die.
What Jiang Lin wanted to do was to minimize the number of deaths in the process.
As for the possibility that no one will die and the people will not be harmed at all, that is a fantasy.
Jiang Lin was very clear about this.
"call……"
Jiang Lin let out a breath and thought helplessly.
"Uncle Jiang's altar is well decorated."
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Lin, with a bit of the duck voice unique to the voice change period.
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this and quickly turned around.
I saw a boy of about eleven or twelve years old standing not far behind Jiang Lin, looking at him with a smile.
The young man was wearing a white robe, had an oval face and peach blossom eyes. Although he had not grown up yet, he already had some feminine looks.
But she doesn't seem feminine at all, instead she is full of righteousness.
In short, if this child grows up, he will definitely be an extremely handsome man.
When the young man saw Jiang Lin turning around, he grinned, with two of his small white teeth missing.
"Jiang Jing, meet Uncle Jiang."
The boy, no, Jiang Jing smiled and bowed. Although his movements were casual, there was no trace of impoliteness, and they were as smooth as flowing water.
Jiang Lin came back to his senses, raised his hand to return the greeting, and said with a wry smile: "Xingjun, you call me uncle, but I can't accept it no matter what."
"Uncle, please don't do this."
Jiang Jing avoided Jiang Lin's greeting and said with a smile, "Since we are in the human world, we must abide by the rules of the human world. Uncle has the grace to protect his nephew and give him a name. It is only right that you call me uncle."
"In that case, then... I feel guilty for accepting this."
Jiang Lin thought about it and finally nodded.
The young man in front of him was naturally the real fetus in Taisu Palace, the reincarnation of Dongmingxingjun.
At the same time, he is naturally Liu Yuwei's son, named Jiang Jing.
"I thought the Star Lord would arrive later. It's only been a little over a day. How come he's here so fast?"
Jiang Lin raised his hand to put away the altar and asked with some confusion.
"It's because the one in the palace is anxious."
Jiang Jing sighed helplessly and said, "My nephew also wants to serve my mother and grandfather for more days, but the emperor has given an order, so how can I not obey it?"
"But even now, we still don't know what the emperor's purpose is."
Jiang Lin frowned, but at the same time he felt a lot more relieved.
Now that Dongmingxingjun has arrived, we now have a big boss to support us no matter what.
As for the current situation in Kyoto, no matter what the old emperor is hiding, as long as this big guy is there, there will basically be no problem.
As he spoke, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Jing.
The meaning is self-evident.
However, facing Jiang Lin's inquiring look, Jiang Jing just shook his head.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, uncle. I don't know what the old emperor is planning."
"But one thing is certain."
"what?"
Jiang Lin asked.
Jiang Jing looked in the direction of Kyoto, his eyes deep, and whispered: "What he is planning is not limited to one country."
"This guy's ambition is bigger than his country and his people."
Jiang Lin frowned in confusion. Dongmingxingjun's words sounded a bit nonsense. The old emperor certainly had ambitions, and...
and many more……
Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something, raised his head abruptly, and asked tentatively with a somewhat difficult tone: "With one person's heart, can you win the hearts of the world?"
Dongmingxingjun couldn't be talking nonsense, so Jiang Lin must have missed something.
The old emperor wants to use the power of the whole country to satisfy his own wish.
He didn't want to use the people of Kyoto to achieve his goal, but to put the entire Zhou Kingdom on the gambling table...
This is even more terrifying than Jiang Lin and King Qin's previous calculations.
"Now, he is in the dark and I am in the light."
Jiang Jing looked towards Kyoto, smiled slightly and said, "But this also has its advantages."
"At least, we can do it without any worries."
"Uncle's arrangement is good. We should use all our remaining courage to pursue the enemy. Now, we just have to wait for Marshal Sang's results."
Jiang Jing looked at Jiang Lin with a smile, then suddenly touched his stomach and muttered, "I'm hungry..."
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but then he came to his senses and said with a smile: "The food in the palace is good, I think Xingjun will like it."
"Besides, King Qin has been looking forward to Xingjun for a long time."
"Walk."
Jiang Jing's eyes lit up, he called Jiang Lin, and walked down the hill.
The two of them walked all the way to the pavilion halfway up the mountain. Jiang Jing stopped and bowed outside the pavilion.
"Mother, I have finished my work."
Inside the pavilion, there was a woman sitting.
This woman was naturally Jiang Jing's mother, Liu Yuwei.
"Mr. Liu."
Jiang Lin also greeted with a smile.
"I've met the Taoist priest."
Liu Yuwei stood up, walked out of the pavilion, nodded to Jiang Lin, and then helped Jiang Jing up, saying softly: "Mother has long said that there is no need to be so polite."
"But Grandpa said that a man cannot stand without courtesy, and the way of filial piety and brotherhood must be followed."
Jiang Jing replied with a smile.
"Your grandfather is just an old scholar. Just listen to what he says."
Liu Yuwei tapped Jiang Jing's forehead helplessly and said angrily, "Although you are different from ordinary people, you are just a teenager now. You should be more lively."
"Yes, mother is right."
Jiang Jing scratched his head, chuckled, took his mother's arm, and said with a smile: "My uncle just said that the food in the palace is good. I think mother is hungry too. Would you like to go with me?"
"it is good."
Liu Yuwei nodded.
The three of them went down the mountain together. On the way, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Jing, who was supporting his mother as they walked along the mountain road.
"Uncle is wondering why my nephew brought his mother with him."
Jiang Jing saw what Jiang Lin was thinking and asked with a smile.
"It's not peaceful here after all."
Jiang Lin replied.
"My nephew also knows that things are not peaceful here."
Jiang Jing sighed and said, "What can I do? If my mother didn't come, I would have missed such a great opportunity."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth, not wanting to ask any more questions.
He did not forget that Liu Yuwei's origin was not simple. She was the incense fairy who served the Emperor of Ziwei in the Pixiang Hall of Ziweiyuan.
I dare not say how high his status is, but the mere duty of serving incense and offerings in Ziweiyuan is enough to explain the problem.
The prime minister's door is occupied by a seventh-rank official, not to mention the emperor's close associates in the Purple Palace.
And now, what is happening in Kyoto, on Jiang Lin's side, strictly speaking, is a "team building" for the great gods and descendants of the Beiji Ziwei lineage.
It seems that Dongmingxingjun wants to use this opportunity to seek some opportunities for his mother.
Jiang Lin didn't dare to ask too much about this matter.
Thinking in his mind, Jiang Lin glanced at Jiang Jing, and seeing the latter nodded, Jiang Lin took action immediately.
First, a talisman was sent out to notify Mr. Baihua of the Prince Qin's Mansion, and then he used the method of shrinking the earth into an inch to take the mother and son through Kyoto.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.
The gates of the Prince of Qin's mansion were already wide open, and the Prince of Qin stood in front of the door, clasping his hands and waiting.
At just one glance, he saw Jiang Jing next to Liu Yuwei.
Immediately, the King of Qin stepped forward, bowed and saluted, saying, "Xingjun, we parted ten years ago, and seeing you again today really makes me extremely happy."
"The prince is still as elegant as ever."
Jiang Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "Since we are here, we won't be polite to the prince. I wonder..."
"Can you please have something to eat to fill your stomach?"
"Yes! Of course!"
The King of Qin had received the message from Jiang Lin a long time ago, so he would not neglect it. He stepped aside and said, "Madam Jiang, please."
It is obvious that the King of Qin knows how to handle things. He can see who to pay attention to in order to satisfy the Lord of the Cave Star.
"Please trouble your highness the Prince of Qin."
Liu Yuwei bowed somewhat stiffly in return.
"You are so polite, ma'am."
The King of Qin welcomed the three people into the palace and said with a smile on the way, "Madam's sister, my little daughter, and Taoist Master Miaoqing went to the Shangqing Temple outside the city. They are not in the palace."
As he spoke, the King of Qin glanced at Jiang Jing, and seeing the latter nod slightly, the King of Qin smiled and said, "If Madam is interested..."
Hearing this, Liu Yuwei nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to arrange it."
"No need to trouble you, Your Highness."
Jiang Jing suddenly looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile, "Could you please trouble me to make a trip?"
Jiang Lin nodded as if nothing was wrong.
The palace will probably not be quiet from now on, but Shangqing Temple will be safe.
Even if Dongmingxingjun wanted to seek an opportunity for his mother, it was not now.
And Dongmingxingjun obviously trusts Jiang Lin more. It can be seen that he really treats Liu Yuwei as his mother.
Jiang Lin personally went there to send Liu Yuwei to Shangqing Temple, and then returned to the palace without stopping.
In the main hall of the palace, there was still the same big table. When Jiang Lin arrived, Jiang Jing was feasting on his meal.
When he saw Jiang Lin, he took a break from his busy schedule and said, "Uncle is right. The food in the palace is delicious."
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, then sat down and started eating.
While eating, he said, "Lay Buddhist Liu has been sent to Shangqing Temple, and Taoist Master Wei Yuan received him personally."
Hearing this, Jiang Jing paused with his chopsticks, and then smiled and said, "In this case, nephew is completely relieved."
Jiang Lin nodded without saying anything more.
The identity of Taoist Master Weiyuan is not as simple as it seems. Jiang Lin had guessed about it earlier, and now Lord Dongmingxing has indirectly acknowledged it.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Jing patted his stomach in satisfaction and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the little brat eats up my father. In the future, the King of Qin should not be eaten out of money by me."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "I dare not say anything about other things, but I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of food."
"So good."
Jiang Jing smiled slightly.
After the leftovers on the table were cleared away, only Prince Qin, Jiang Lin and Jiang Jing were left in the main hall of the palace.
Upon closer inspection, the identities of these three people are also very interesting.
Needless to say, Jiang Jing is the reincarnation of the Cave Star God in the sky, a real god.
The King of Qin was the man of destiny chosen by the Emperor of Ziwei.
In the end, Jiang Lin is simply the only descendant of the Beiji Ziwei lineage in the world.
It can be said that these three represent the three most important basic bases of the Arctic system.
