Chapter 200 Super Backer
Tan Daoxian's eyes suddenly froze.
All the mountain gods within a thousand miles will jointly guarantee it?
how can that be!
Tan Daoxian's heart was filled with disbelief.
And deep confusion.
Almost all the mountain gods in this area of 10,000 miles are from the Celestial Beings! How dare these humble gods from the lower world go against the Tianshuyuan, the headquarters of the Celestial Beings!
To demote these mountain gods is just a matter of writing a document from the Tianshu Academy!
How dare they!
Jiang Lin didn't look at Tan Daoxian's expression. He just took out a piece of paper and spoke softly.
"The God of the Stupid Mountain rarely interacts with me, but I know his true nature. He is a very down-to-earth and steady person, and there is no way he would be corrupt or abuse the law."
"Tan Qing, the god of Cangshan, left his name here."
Jiang Lin said, flipping open another piece of paper: "My great brother, although he is clumsy and stupid, but because of this, there are few gods in the world who abide by the rules like my brother."
"Tan Zong, the mountain god of Libo Mountain, left his name here."
Dazhuo couldn't help but look up. He remembered this name, or rather, he remembered the names of all the people who had met him and shown kindness to him.
Tan Zong, a very generous elder brother. Of course, this is what he calls himself. Da Zhuo is always a little embarrassed to call him brother.
Because he feels that he is a stupid person, not good at getting along with others, and may cause trouble to others unintentionally.
Not to mention that he is a real god who came from heaven.
However, Brother Tan Zong said that it would be his fortune to have such a brother.
The Taoist priest's voice continued to ring out.
"The mountain god of Chizhen Mountain, Tanli Shang, said: All mountain and water gods have the duty of maintaining stability in an area and preventing chaos. The merits and virtues they receive are their due rewards."
"However, the mountain god of Benshan sacrificed his own cultivation and devoted all the incense to the spirituality of Benshan, maintaining the lush vegetation and supporting the people of Benshan with his own merits and virtues."
“This is beyond our reach.”
"It is absolutely impossible to embezzle offerings and use public funds for personal gain!"
Dazhuo recalled carefully and found that he seemed to have only seen this Tanli Mountain God once, and it was when his elder brother Tanzong insisted on taking him to a mountain god gathering to meet him.
He was actually speaking for himself?
Dazhuo was a little flattered. Looking at the thick stack of papers in the green-robed Taoist priest's hand, he knew that each of the papers represented a mountain god.
An emotion called touching spread in Dazhuo's heart.
"Oh? There is another one who mentioned the messenger."
Jiang Lin flipped out another one, looked at Tan Daoxian with a smile, and read: "The mountain god of Shenju Mountain, Tan Chongling, said: Tan Daoxian is a man who is righteous on the outside but evil on the inside, with a clean face but a turbid heart. He is absolutely not to be trusted. I am willing to guarantee my fellow Taoist, but if he is tortured into confessing, I will go to Tianshuyuan in person to redress the injustice for my friend."
The moment Tan Daoxian heard the name "Tan Chongling", he felt a little subconsciously panicked.
Tu Shanyu, who was standing by, also said with a smile: "Master, you may not know that this Tan Chongling is the most talented of the new generation of celestial beings, but he is neither arrogant nor impatient. He voluntarily descended to the mortal world to become a mountain god, just to experience the world, to be down-to-earth, and to accumulate experience."
"His father seems to be taking orders from... the Three Heavens Master."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin nodded silently, feeling a little surprised.
The existence represented by the honorific title of Santian Fashi has another honorific title: Zutianshi.
That is, the undisputed leader among the Four Heavenly Masters in Heaven, the founder of Zhengyi, Zhang Daoling!
The celestial being is able to obey orders from the ancestor celestial master, either this celestial being "betrayed" his origins.
Or, this celestial being has no intention of getting involved in the so-called struggle, and just does his own thing and fulfills his duties.
Jiang Lin is more inclined to the latter.
Because this Tan Chongling exudes the aura of a person who is upright and has nothing to fear.
No matter how fierce the struggle between the Heavenly Beings and the Human Beings is, they will not target the people who actually do the work unless it is absolutely necessary.
Because that is also the basic foundation of the Tianren system.
In other words, this is the tacit consensus between the Celestial Beings and the Ascension Departments.
It doesn't matter if you beat your brains out, but don't fucking interfere with the gods who are actually doing their job.
Of course, this is not a bottom line that cannot be touched. For example, the stupid mountain god in front of us has obviously become a victim of the struggle.
To put it bluntly, if a good guy doesn't have a backer, who else can he bully if not you?
But, what is it about the mountain god of Benshan that made the Tianren system target him?
Jiang Lin thought silently in his heart.
Could this be what the person who handed him the note wanted to explore?
"Mage..."
Tan Daoxian took a deep breath secretly, with a soothing smile on his face, and said: "No matter what, what you have in your hand cannot be called evidence, and I have submitted the evidence to the Tianshu Court."
"Sure enough, so sanctimonious."
Jiang Lin spoke with a smile, and with just one sentence, Tan Daoxian's smile froze.
He slowly took two steps forward, getting closer to Tan Daoxian, and said softly, "Tan Chongling seems to be very familiar with you, so can I assume that you are of the same generation?"
“Even if they descended to the human world, they were willing to work hard on their foundation and rise from the bottom up, and they are still the gods of famous mountains.”
"You, even if you have been working in Tianshuyuan, are just... a mere envoy."
"You are jealous, or you are looked down upon by your peers."
"Everything now is just your disguise."
With every word Jiang Lin spoke, Tan Daoxian's face became darker, and in the end, it was almost dripping with water.
"Don't worry, I don't have the heart to scold you, I'm just analyzing."
Jiang Lin still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't notice Tan Daoxian's changing expression.
"To sum up, you don't mind doing some dirty work as a stepping stone to advancement."
After these words were spoken, a smile reappeared on Tan Daoxian's face, but from the slightly trembling corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was just pretending to be calm.
"Master, I don't understand what you are saying. Besides, it doesn't make sense, does it?"
"No, it makes sense."
Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "It is not the stupid mountain god who abuses public power for personal gain, embezzles offerings, and conceals his merits."
"But you."
Tu Shanyu understood Jiang Lin's meaning almost immediately, and said, "Tianshuyuan has the responsibility to monitor the gods of mountains, rivers, land, etc. in the lower world."
"So, there are many supervisory messengers, each responsible for a certain area. Although they are only supervisory, they are also the transit point for the incense offerings from the gods of mountains, rivers, land and so on."
Having said that, Tu Shanyu did not continue speaking, but sensibly took two steps back, bringing Jiang Lin back to the fore.
Jiang Lin looked at Tan Daoxian and said with a smile: "The messenger should know what kind of sin it is to deceive a black law mage, right?"
"Also, let me remind you that I have no right to interfere in the affairs of the gods and immortals in the world."
"However, if I discover a corrupt official, it won't be difficult for me to submit a petition to the Divine Sky Jade Pivot or the Judicial Palace through the Black Law Department."
Part of the power of Shenxiao Yushu is to supervise the immortals and gods in heaven to see if there are any illegal activities.
The Hall of Justice is even simpler and more brutal. It is an agency that maintains the laws of heaven. In theory, it has the right to interfere in anything that violates the laws of heaven.
As for the Black Law Department where Jiang Lin is located, it is also responsible for maintaining the stability of the three realms and eradicating illegal violent organizations.
Although they are in charge of different things, they have the same background after all, so it is not difficult for them to communicate with each other.
It’s just joint law enforcement, no big deal.
Let's talk about the present situation. From the beginning when the people of Benshan spontaneously dug the mountain to save the gods, Jiang Lin kept a watchful eye.
In other words, there are some doubts.
Would such a popular god really do something to cut off the flow of incense?
What's the point?
Although incense itself is beneficial to the gods, it is too complex and carries the distracting thoughts of mortals. If it is absorbed directly, the advantages and disadvantages are equal.
Therefore, the immortals and gods on earth will offer incense to the heaven, which will be managed by the Four Heavenly Masters and is independent of all the departments of the Heavenly Court. The incense will be refined into merits for the Heavenly Court.
Then, it will be distributed to the immortals and gods in the world.
Of course, in this process, the Heavenly Court would keep a portion of it, both as a tax and as "fire consumption for the public."
In fact, this process is beneficial rather than harmful to the immortals and gods in the world.
Although some of the incense was lost, more pure and side-effect-free cultivation resources were obtained.
This is also one of the reasons why many immortals want to work in heaven.
A channel that provides a stable source of cultivation resources as long as one works hard.
Of course, there are indeed gods who secretly intercept incense and use it for other things.
But, for the God of Benshan, it is not necessary at all.
Whatever incense can do, merit can also do.
Those who secretly conceal some of the incense offerings are because the incense offerings in the area under their jurisdiction are not strong, and the merits converted from them are even less, so they need to intercept some of the incense offerings.
But when it comes to the incense offerings at Benshan, to be honest, the mountain god of Benshan is a complete tycoon.
Judging from the behavior of the people in the Benshan area, no one would think there was anything wrong even if the Benshan mountain god came down the mountain every day to rob women.
Including the woman herself...
Tan Daoxian's hasty attitude to determine the nature of the case further deepened Jiang Lin's suspicion.
It was not until Tushanyu used the Tushan secret method that he traveled across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in an instant and obtained a joint guarantee document from all the mountain gods within a thousand miles.
It has been basically confirmed that the one who intercepted the incense flow was not someone else, but the Inspector General of the Tianshu Academy.
However, as an inspector, asking for incense is actually of no use. It can even be said that it is a complete burden.
But what if combined with other things?
For example, the layout of the Tianren system, the plan to get involved in or even replace the Tianlu?
Incense is obviously a very important part of it.
This is what Jiang Lin calls the “dirty work”.
Look at Tan Daoxian, who was looked down upon by his peers and could only waste his time as a mere ninth-rank envoy.
If you want to get promoted and make further progress, the fastest way is to do the dirty work that others are unwilling to do.
"So, a person who thought he was frustrated and frustrated, and even his pearl was covered in dust, resolutely stepped into the struggle in order to prove himself, or in other words, to fulfill his ambition."
Jiang Lin looked at Tan Daoxian in front of him and smiled, "Am I wrong in what I said above, Mr. Envoy?"
Tan Daoxian did not comment, but said calmly: "This is still just the Master's guess, not evidence!"
"Can this humble official believe that the Master is slandering a supervisory envoy of the Tianshu Academy?"
"What a big hat and what a hard mouth."
Jiang Lin smiled and clapped his hands. He stopped looking at Tan Daoxian and turned to walk towards where the imprisoned Benshan Mountain God was.
"I am Jiang Xuanying, a fifth-rank Heavenly Official of the Black Law Division of the North Pole Exorcism Institute. Nice to meet you, colleague. May I ask your name?"
Jiang Lin greeted meticulously.
Judging from the deeds of the mountain god in front of him, he deserves Jiang Lin's respect, regardless of his status.
Dazhuo opened his mouth in a panic, the cold air corroding him, but he still insisted: "My name is Dazhuo, I dare not call you my colleague..."
He spoke tremblingly.
In fact, as the god of a mountain, he should not have been tortured so badly by this little cold, but Dazhuo had always neglected his spiritual practice, or in other words, he used almost 80% of the merits and virtues from the incense and offerings to repay the kindness of Benshan Mountain, so that the lives of the people around him could be better.
Therefore, even standing in Benshan, his base camp, his strength is not even as good as some practitioners with more advanced Taoism.
No wonder he was tortured so badly by these cold iron chains.
"Daoyou Dazhuo."
Jiang Lin nodded seriously, wrote down the name, then looked at the cold iron chains and raised his hand.
A Tianpeng ruler appeared in his hand, with the twenty-eight constellations engraved on it, shining for a moment.
Tian Ding's golden divine fire lightly circled around the cold iron chain.
'Kara...'
Suddenly, the Tianshuyuan-style cold iron chains collapsed in an instant.
Feeling the sudden warmth in the space around him, Dazhuo stood up slowly and nervously, and imitated the mountain gods he had seen before, performing the salute in an awkward manner.
"Thank you, Master Mage."
He didn't know what the Black Law Department was, but since the Inspector General called the Taoist priest in front of him a magician, it would not be wrong for him to follow suit.
Tan Daoxian watched from the side without making any move, or rather, he did not dare to move.
He knew very well whether the evidence was true or false and whether it had been submitted.
Although Jiang Lin's action completely broke the rules.
But if I use the rules to suppress the Black Law Mage, I will be in trouble if the other party fights back.
But if I don't care, the other party will inevitably think of something...
For a moment, Tan Daoxian was in a dilemma.
Jiang Lin didn't pay any attention to Tan Daoxian. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and set up an altar in front of Dazhuo.
On the altar, there is a taboo, the taboo of the Lord of Mount Tai.
"This is the seat of the God of Mount Tai. You can worship here in your spare time."
After saying that, Jiang Lin looked at the somewhat confused Dazhuo, and added with a smile: "Forget it, there is no need to wait until you have free time, you can worship now."
"I am so grateful to you for coming here again."
Dazhuo was a little confused, but still nodded and knelt respectfully before the altar.
This scene made Tan Daoxian’s expression even more gloomy.
Mountain gods also have different positions, and the god of Mount Tai is obviously not a simple mountain god. He is the Queen Mother’s Peach Banquet. This great god also sits in the first row, accepting the worship of countless immortals and gods.
And now, Jiang Lin placed the throne of the Lord of Mount Tai here, the meaning was self-evident.
Since you all bully the stupid mountain god because he has no backing, I will find him one!
Let’s see if you still dare to abuse your power for personal gain and bully honest people in front of the Lord of Mount Tai!
"The messenger said, I have no evidence."
After doing all this, Jiang Lin looked at Tan Daoxian.
"Then please wait here, envoy, until I bring the evidence."
There is more than just the mountain god being imprisoned around Benshan Mountain.
Jiang Lin sensed the scent of some "old friends".
