Chapter 583: The Taishi Bureau did not intend to extort your incense
It was just dark, and Zhu Cai from the Xiangjiang Female Spiritual Temple had just offered the last three sticks of incense to the goddess today. He went back to his room and lay down. Before he fell asleep, he heard a burst of noise coming from the yard.
Strange noises.
She originally thought there was a thief or robber, so she quietly got up from the bed, touched the door, and carefully looked outside through the crack in the door. However, she found that the person who made the noise was actually a beautiful-looking servant girl with her lowered hands.
woman.
"The female spirit has appeared again..."
I saw the female spirit goddess stepping onto a light cart. With the neigh of the horse pulling the cart, the gate of the female spirit temple opened on its own, and the horses rushed out quickly, dragging the light cart.
Nvmiao Zhu opened the door curiously and looked outside.
I saw a familiar car circling on the dark mountain road, all the way down, the two lanterns hanging next to the carriage quickly shrank into a light spot in the eyes of Nv Miao Zhu.
"The female spirit appears on a tour..."
Nümiao Zhu scratched her hair with her hand in confusion, a look of confusion on her face.
"Is today a special day?"
In fact, if this female temple wishes to fly, she will know that it is not just the female spirit who is out on tour today, but almost all the gods in Changsha County are out on tour today.
Some powerful mountain gods or water gods will bring a lot of followers, which looks very grand; while those without much strength, such as the small gods like the female spirit temple, basically have a light chariot or a horse.
These carriages and horses from all over Changsha gradually gathered together after approaching the Xiangjiang River, and finally arrived at their destination, Zhaotan.
At this time, there is a crystal clear water city on the lake in Zhaotan. The water in the city is calm and calm, like crystal, and there are many transparent trees scattered on the left and right. A lot of people have gathered in the city, three of them
Groups of five gathered together, seemingly chatting about something.
"Brother Dan..."
"Brother Wang!"
An old man in red royal robes and a middle-aged man in black robes were bowing to each other. They looked very familiar at first glance.
The female spirit goddess glanced at them and recognized their identities.
The old man in red is the mountain god of Zhaoshan, named Dan Lingheng. Although he is not very powerful, he is very famous because his younger brother is Dan Lingzhi, the Lord of Hengshan Prefecture among the Five Mountain Gods, and the middle-aged man in black is
He is Daoxiu, the river god king of Liuyang River.
"Brother Dan!"
Daoxiu, the River God King of Liuyang River, grabbed the opponent's sleeve and said with a mysterious expression.
"It's okay to wait for these little gods to be blackmailed by Master Qingwei. Your brother Dan is the brother of Lord Hengshan. Does Qingwei still dare to offend Lord Hengshan?"
"hehe……"
Zhaoshan Mountain God Dan Lingheng smiled awkwardly at the other party.
"This person doesn't like to do things in the name of his brother-in-law, and this matter is not just about him. It's not appropriate to go to his brother-in-law for such a trivial matter!"
The female spirit goddess curled her lips silently.
At this time, she heard several whispers coming from the corner of Shuicheng in front.
"Sha Jialong, didn't you say that you are from the same clan as Xiangjiang Longjun? Can you tell Longjun that he should dissuade Qingwei and tell him that we are actually living a very hard life, so don't come to blackmail someone?
waited!"
The female spiritual goddess raised her eyes and saw that the person speaking was Lei Zu, the mountain god of Changshan Mountain in Xiangtan, and the person talking to him was an old man with white beard and hair, whom she did not recognize.
Then, she saw the old man shaking his head silently.
"It's useless to talk to Xiangjiang Longjun, because Xiangjiang Longjun can't afford to offend him..."
"What?"
After Lei Zu heard this, he was immediately shocked.
"How is it possible? The Dragon Lord of Xiangjiang is a subordinate of the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River. How is it possible that he cannot afford to offend a Taoist priest who is a real person?"
Seeing Lei Zu's surprised look, the female spirit goddess looked at him with contempt.
A Taoist priest in the realm of real people is really a guy who has never seen the world!
Do you know how arrogant Xiangjiang Longjun looked in front of that Qingwei? When his daughter was killed by the other party, he still had to smile with his face and keep saying that the killing was good.
"Sister Female Spirit..."
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side. The female spiritual goddess turned around and saw that it was a woman in black clothes and a young man with similar appearance, also wearing black clothes.
"It turns out to be Luo Niang and Xiaogan Hou!"
A smile appeared on the face of the female spirit goddess, and she bowed to the two men.
"When did you siblings come?"
"Just arrived!"
The woman known as Luo Niang also brought her younger brother forward to salute the female spirit goddess, and then said with a somewhat panicked expression.
"Sister Nv Ling, I heard that Master Qingwei is extorting a year's worth of incense from each of our gods. Is this true? What's the use of a Taoist priest asking for incense?"
The female spirit goddess spread her hands towards Luo Niang and her brother with a look of helplessness.
"You have really troubled the slave family..."
Just as they were talking in low voices, they suddenly saw dozens of soldiers surrounded by an old man with a long beard wearing royal robes appearing in front of Shuicheng. A handsome middle-aged man led a man in red clothes.
The beautiful woman wearing a skirt and carrying a red whisk accompanied the old man with a long beard, talking and laughing.
After seeing these people appear, the gods present instantly became quiet. Although they were not very clear about the identity of the middle-aged man, they all knew the old man Xiangjiang Longjun!
"Is the man accompanied by Mr. Long the real Qingwei?"
Luo Niang looked at the handsome middle-aged man and blinked gently.
"He is truly a talented person..."
"of course not!"
The female spirit goddess looked at this handsome middle-aged man, then compared it with the image of a Taoist priest in white in her mind, and then shook her head without hesitation.
"Zhenwei Qingwei is much younger than him and much more handsome..."
"..."
The handsome middle-aged man accompanied Xiangjiang Longjun to the top position in Shuicheng. He first extended his hand to invite him to take a seat, and then he came to the position below him. However, he did not sit down. Instead, he turned around and clasped his fists, first facing the people present.
These gods paid homage.
"Gods, please take your seats!"
After hearing his words, the gods present hesitated for a moment when they saw Xiangjiang Longjun already stroking his beard with his hand, stood up, and looked around with majestic eyes.
Under the majestic gaze of Xiangjiang Dragon Lord, each of these gods became much more well-behaved and took their seats according to their status.
After seeing that these gods had already sat down, the middle-aged man nodded towards Xiangjiang Dragon Lord to express his gratitude, and then he spoke to the gods present.
"First of all, I must say something first! All the gods may think that I am here to blackmail you, and I even heard that each god must hand over a year's worth of incense.
Here I can responsibly tell you that these are all nonsense, and no one in our Li Tang court or the Taishi Bureau will extort incense from the gods!"
After hearing his words, all the gods present, including the female spirit goddess, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the Taishi Bureau has no intention of extorting our incense, that’s great!
"Next, I will recommend myself to get to know all the venerable gods..."
Seeing the temporarily relaxed expressions on the faces of the gods present, Li Jing raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sincere smile.
"My surname is Li and my given name is Jing. I am the long history of the Tang Dynasty Tiance Mansion... Of course, to the gods, my identity is not important, but I have another identity, which is..."
Li Jing raised his head, glanced at the gods present, and then said slowly.
"A doctor from the Taishi Bureau who is specifically responsible for holding accountable the evil god who colluded with the Nirvana Sect in Changsha County, ruined the people, squeezed the people with fear, and collected the power of incense and wishes!"
After hearing the words "Taishi Bureau", the expressions of the gods present suddenly became different, and their thoughts began to quietly entangle with each other to convey messages.
"That's right! Just as you said in your spiritual thoughts, a certain person is a subordinate of Master Qingwei..."
Pharmacist Li looked serious, as if what he said was true.
"I believe that all the gods know about the Nirvana Sect. They have been annihilated by our Taishi Bureau and His Highness the King of Qin because they raised snake monsters and led beasts to eat people. But the Nirvana Sect can do whatever they want in Changsha for more than ten years. Is it possible?
Are you saying it’s all thanks to the snake demon?”
As he said that, Pharmacist Li sneered.
"Absolutely impossible! I, the Taishi Bureau and Master Qingwei, simply do not believe that all the gods present are unaware of the murder of so many people in Changsha, but the facts are facts. According to the records of the Taishi Bureau, none of you came
Report this to us!"
Pharmacist Li raised his hand and pointed towards the gods sitting below.
"So I, the Taishi Bureau and Qingwei Zhenren, have reason to think that there are many evil gods hidden among you gods who collude with the Nirvana Sect and harm the people. Therefore, at the request of the Taishi Bureau, His Highness King Qin decided to screen and analyze the gods in Changsha.
investigation.
Once it is confirmed that a god has indeed colluded with the Nirvana Sect, the court will definitely impose strong sanctions and crackdowns on him, including but not limited to measures such as ordering the cessation of sacrifices in the capacity of the court, cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and even targeting the gods.
We will crack down on the believers of evil gods. Once a person believes in an evil god, if he does not publicly declare his conversion, he will be arrested and imprisoned, or the corvee tax will be increased, etc...."
After hearing the words of this middle-aged man who claimed to be a doctor from the Taishi Bureau, many gods present shrank silently.
Stopping sacrifices is already going too far, and cutting down mountains and destroying temples is a method only used to get you to death. As for the conditions that even the believers will be arrested or the corvee tax will be increased, they have not even heard of it before.
Never heard of it.
This is simply a desperate plan!
"Of course! The gods can also resist violently, or they can not cooperate with our Taishi Bureau..."
As soon as Li Jing raised his eyelids, his cold eyes immediately swept across the gods present.
"But in that case, both our Taishi Bureau and the imperial court will identify the gods who have done these things as evil gods colluding with the Nirvana Sect, and will also impose sanctions from above, and maybe Qingwei Zhenren will personally take action and beat you all.
I have fallen into the position of a god, so I would like to ask you all to reflect on yourselves and not to take the wrong path."
Having said this, Li Jing puffed up his chest and said majestically.
"Now that I have finished speaking, do you have any other opinions?"
