In the afternoon of the next day, visit Miaozhantian Temple.
This is the largest Miaozhan Temple in Tianshui City. Its area is one-third larger than that of Xilin Temple. It is full of incense all year round. Every five days, nearly 10,000 believers come here to attend the goddess worship ceremony. From the square inside the temple to
The four streets outside the temple will be blocked with water.
The court ceremony is often attended by distinguished guests, such as today.
The grand ceremony ended, the believers gradually dispersed, and Ambassador Liang walked towards the distinguished guests in the front row:
"Qingyang Supervisor, please."
Qingyang wore a goose-yellow brocade robe today, and her appearance and clothing were very grand.
When attending such occasions, you must first express your admiration for the goddess.
She smiled at Lord Liang, but the attendants and gods behind her did not follow her and watched the two of them go to the side hall.
There must be spies sent by the royal court among the crowd, but it doesn't matter, they can't follow them.
There is a row of flower corridors behind the main hall, built around the pond. The water is clear and there are no swimming fish.
There is an altar at the end of the flower gallery, surrounded by flowers, with incense curling up, and many divine attendants standing there. Lord Liang waved his hand, and everyone bowed and left.
Qingyang lit an incense candle with his own hands, placed it on the altar, and murmured a prayer.
Commander Liang whispered: "What do Qingyang Supervisors think will happen to me this time?"
"It's more lively than usual, and there are more people." Qingyang slowly opened his eyes, "Xilin Temple is closed, and all the believers have come here."
She took the initiative to mention Xilin Temple, which made the topic easier to expand.
It seems that the supervisor sent by Bejia already knew that something unusual happened yesterday. Ambassador Liang sighed: "Yesterday, I wanted to invite Qingyang supervisor to enter the palace together."
Then why not? Qingyang was clear-minded.
"The main hall collapsed on the night Xilin Temple was closed."
Qingyang nodded: "I heard, this is really a heavy loss."
"He Xiao, who was in charge of the eastward expansion plan of the capital for the monarch, immediately dismantled all the stones, wood, and components of the Xilin Temple and smuggled them to the east to build the new city. In particular, the gold-plated stone from the Xilin Temple was used in the official building of the new city.
On the table."
Qingyang exclaimed: "I've seen that Huan Biao before. It's quite impressive. It actually uses the stone from the Xilin Temple?"
She understands the temper of the gods and knows that whether such a matter can be dealt with in a big or small way depends mainly on what King Yao does.
"When I left Youhu this morning, I saw He Xiao on the road, and the scenery was still the same." He Xiao has been very grand recently. He is surrounded by hundreds of guards when he goes out. He is the most eye-catching kid in the crowd. Qingyang wants to ignore it.
It's hard to reach him.
"It seems that King Yao did not deal with him."
Master Liang snorted: "He has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Master Xiao can't defeat him in the imperial study."
The location of the "Royal Study Room" is very important. Qingyang frowned slightly, it seemed that King Yao was deliberately conniving with He Xiao and quarreling the priests of Miao Zhantian.
This is so unusual. The Yao Kingdom's reverence for the goddess is usually expressed in the worship of temples and respect for priests.
The chief envoy of Liang entered the palace in person, but King Yao refused to give him the honor?
You can't blame others for committing suicide.
"So, smuggling and misappropriating Xilin Temple building materials was just He Xiao's own idea?"
"That's what he admitted." Commander Liang shook his head, "I think it's not that simple."
"Everything is normal for He Xiao, and he can continue to show off his power in his capital project, which means you are right. The truth is not that simple." Qingyang chuckled, "I have said before that Yao Kingdom is addicted to illusory power.
, I have no respect for the gods, and can only deal with it. Whether it is the goddess's previous edict, King Yao's objection, or the temple that should have been completed two years ago, or this time the theft of the Xilin Temple...ah, as it seems now
, the collapse of the Xilin Temple was not that simple."
"Yes, Xilin Temple could have persisted for another three to five years. We also suspect that the deep seepage hole that appeared under Xilin Temple for no apparent reason may be man-made. According to Xiangzhuan Shuiling, it appeared within a month or two.
, right around the time when the capital began to expand eastward.”
Qingyang said leisurely: "The goddess is too kind and has never been cruel. However, Commander Liang invited me here today. It seems that she has good news for me."
Commander Liang reached out to the altar and said, "Yes! My god has agreed to your request!"
Qingyang's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, the candlelight on the divine table dimmed, and the two lily buds inserted in the vase suddenly bloomed under Qingyang's eyes!
In just five or six breaths, it blooms to its fullest.
A fragrant breeze drifted through the air, stirring the wind chimes under the eaves and tinkling, which was both like the ethereal music and the whispering of human voices.
Only two people present could understand:
This is the oracle!
The oracle delivered by Miao Zhantian himself!
Qingyang faced the altar, bowed his head and held the ceremony with a solemn expression.
She didn't raise her head until her skirt stopped swaying.
That gust of wind had gone away, and the lilies on the altar had gathered into buds again, as if nothing had happened.
But Qingyang did receive instructions from Miao Zhantian:
The righteous god agreed to her request.
All the large and small temples in Tianshui City—not just Miao Zhantian’s—will help her act.
This was an earth-shattering decision. Qingyang was rarely overjoyed. He smiled at Commander Liang and said, "The goddess has given you an edict! Then, how about we discuss some details?"
Having finally come to this point, Lord Liang felt mixed emotions in his heart. After all, he was also from the Yao country.
But the goddess's order cannot be doubted. He pointed to his study room on the other side of the pond: "Please."
…
This discussion lasted until the sun set.
Qingyang walked out of the temple, his steps relaxed and happy.
The most important thing finally went smoothly, and it was not in vain for her to lie dormant for so many days.
With Miao Zhantian's support, the space for her follow-up actions finally opened up.
Yuan Xuan had prepared a car and was waiting for her at the door. Qingyang didn't care about the spying eyes of the crowd, and took the carriage back to Youhu.
Tianshui City is still lively, and the mortals are still busy, unaware of the crisis lurking in the city.
After exiting the east city gate, there was a large area of yellow mud.
This is the eastern suburbs that is being expanded. No matter how fanciful the officials are, there is actually nothing except a main road and a model neighborhood.
But it was such a muddy land that made the whole country intoxicated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This country is really seriously ill. From the monarch to the common people, everyone has fallen in the eyes of money, but they have forgotten that there is a god at the top of their heads, and they have forgotten to treat the supreme being.
Wei Li remained in awe, no wonder the gods were deeply disappointed with them.
Yes, disappointed.
The gods hope to recover a large amount of nightmare energy from the Golden Gold Plains, but the Yao Kingdom has repeatedly tried to shirk and achieve nothing. Therefore, the gods have long been dissatisfied with the Yao Kingdom, but Miao Zhantian, as the main god enshrined by the Yao Kingdom, has never made up his mind.
She is one of the thirty-five righteous gods and an important leader of the Lingxu Gods. As long as she does not agree, it will be difficult for the Holy Lord Lingxu to take action against the Yao Kingdom.
King Yao couldn't even capture the goddess's heart, and recently he even made ridiculous troubles such as misappropriating temple stones.
Qingyang saw through his greed at a glance.
As the king of a country, his greed has long outweighed his fear of God.
Otherwise, how could we let He Xiao, who made a huge mistake, go free and let him continue to be at large?
It is a taboo to neglect the gods!
However, He Xiao's behavior is also very strange.
No matter how short of stone materials were needed for the construction of the new city, he should not have put his mind to the temple.
How could this man suddenly reveal such a big trap because he was so thoughtful and clever, and his work was so impeccable?
The priests of Miao Zhantian believed that this was the instruction of King Yao. But Qingyang didn't think so.
Just like when he suddenly took control of Youhu Villa and went against her, He Xiao's purpose was unpredictable. But what he did to Xilin Temple objectively aggravated Miao Zhantian's dislike of Yao Kingdom, which made Qing Qing
Yang's persuasion work went more smoothly.
Thinking of this, Qingyang's heart moved, could it be?
Combined with what He Xiao had done in Yao Kingdom, a strange thought came to her mind:
He Xiao seemed to have bad intentions when he came to Yao Kingdom.
At first, King Yao wanted to use him as a tool to humiliate Qingyang, but he did it, and in his own way, and the results far exceeded King Yao's expectations;
Then, he proposed a plan to expand the capital eastward, kicking off the current carnival of wealth in Yao Kingdom.
But in Qingyang's view, this road is unworkable and will bring endless disasters.
Now, he suddenly ordered his officials and teams to dismantle, transfer and misappropriate the Panjin Stone from the Xilin Temple, once again provoking the goddess's dissatisfaction with the Yao Kingdom.
And Qingyang remembered what Chief Liang had said before, that the seepage hole that caused the premature collapse of the Xilin Temple only appeared in the past month or two, and even Xiang Zhuan Shuiling couldn't explain the reason.
The leader of Liang suspected that this was done by someone sent by King Yao.
But a month or two ago, the eastward expansion project of the capital was just a paper plan and had not officially started yet. Based on her understanding of King Yao, there was no reason for him to start attacking the Xilin Temple so early.
It was He Xiao who convinced King Yao...
He Xiao is more certain than anyone else that the eastward expansion plan of the capital city can be implemented smoothly.
So, was he the one who dug up the Xilin Temple?
Thinking of this, Qingyang broke into a cold sweat on his palms.
If it was really He Xiao who did it, would he have started planning it so early?
No, that's not right. If we dig deeper along this line of thinking, what was He Xiao planning in advance was not just the collapse of the Xilin Temple?
What He Xiao did had always seemed a bit weird to her.
Every action of this man seems to be in line with the current situation, but in fact he is carrying out a destructive act.
To destroy the relationship between King Yao and Qingyang is to destroy the relationship between Yao Kingdom and Bejia.
Destroy the relationship between Yao Kingdom and the gods.
The relationship between Yao Kingdom’s nobles and civilians, that is, the relationship between Yao court and the people, will soon be destroyed;
On the other hand, He Xiao had already planned a plan, not only scheming against the monarchs and ministers of the Yao Kingdom, but also against the God Miaozhan, and even against her, the former Imperial Master of Bejia!
They all became part of his plan.
This man has a deep mind and a vicious strategy that Qingyang has not seen many times in his nearly two hundred years of experience.
Why could the Yao Kingdom, thousands of miles away, still encounter such an opponent?
The wind blowing in from outside was cool, so she lowered the curtain.
Having said that, these are none of He Xiao's responsibility, so why would he take such a big risk and even risk his life to do it?
What if the focus of his destruction and his true purpose are one and only—
