The chain was wrapped around his neck. Shinji struggled desperately, but he could only feel himself rising lightly. When he turned his head, he happened to see the most familiar body curled up on the bed in a painful posture, no longer breathing.
he died.
Nori Shinji looked at his body and wanted to burst into tears, but found that his face was dry and the tears could only flow into his stomach. Even his emotions were quickly leaving as the chains tightened, and he went crazy again.
He struggled: "I don't want to go to the underworld! Let me go! Let me go!"
Gui Cha's face without facial features came close to him: "You were a key witness in the bribery case during your lifetime. The Zhao family was very powerful in the underworld. The criminal thief Ding has been silenced. Do you want to end up in an accident like him?"
Nori Shinji said sadly: "I'm dead, what kind of accident can happen to me?"
There were actually two ghosts who came to seduce the soul. The other one said: "Dead people can speak. Only when they are beaten to death will they shut up completely!"
Nori Shinji trembled all over and murmured: "Why is this happening... Why is this happening..."
Gui Chai said solemnly and solemnly: "Who made you want to bribe corrupt officials and shorten your life span rather than destroy your own moral character? Now you just deserve it and you have to suffer for it!"
Nori Shinji was stunned: "Is it harming your moral integrity?"
Gui Cha was puzzled: "You don't know? How did you learn the Yin magic spell? Didn't the person who taught it warn you not to use it indiscriminately?"
Nori Shinji trembled again, this time he collapsed completely: "No...impossible...he won't harm me...how could he harm me! It must be you who said nonsense! You said nonsense!!"
Another ghost officer hurriedly introduced: "This is our Hou Hun Envoy. Judge Qi of the Investigation Department admires him the most. He is a capable general. How could he deceive you?"
The ghost messenger also put on his airs, and said in a very authentic tone: "In the past, people in the upper world did not believe that we in the underworld would do bad things, but now we do not believe that we in the underworld can do good things. This trend must be killed! Nori Shinji, there is no use in sophistry.
Yes, you go back with us, explain the problem clearly, and strive for leniency!"
The chains suddenly tightened, Nori Shinji struggled and screamed, stretched out his hand towards the retreat, his voice became weaker and weaker: "Father, save me! Father, save me! Save me..."
He did not know that Tao Zhongwen had been ordered to enter Xiyuan before he died.
"Long live your majesty!"
Entering Jinshen Jingshe, Tao Zhongwen knelt down to greet him, held up his hands and presented the elixir box: "Specially present the 'Jiji elixir' to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday!"
Lu Fang took it and brought it to the Tai Chi Bagua bed, where the elixir appeared.
Jiajing's birthday was indeed coming soon. He gently pinched a piece of "Ji Ji Dan" and looked at it for a moment. His face was full of emotions and emotions: "Master Tao is interested...give me a seat."
Tao Zhongwen stood up, sat down on Xiudun, and began to lecture: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and has the hope of immortality. However, the most important thing on the golden elixir path is to proceed step by step..."
Jiajing always attached great importance to spiritual matters. He sat and listened. The servants around him also pricked up their ears, but soon became disdainful.
Because they could tell that this Heavenly Master was giving eye drops to Master Li, implying that he was greedy for temporary success and beguiling Your Majesty to blindly refine elixirs, only seeking immediate benefits, regardless of the long-term future.
The eunuchs don't know whether those big principles are correct or not. They only know one thing. Ever since Mr. Li taught His Majesty the method of refining elixirs, the elixirs His Majesty has concocted are real elixirs. If you eat them, you will feel light and healthy. Aftertaste.
endless.
Unlike before, I was worried that His Majesty would be in a bad mood. After refining a furnace of elixirs, the rain and dew would catch them, and anyone could walk in or lie down...
For eunuchs who have not received Tao Zhongwen's favor, even if Li Zhenren has never set foot in Xiyuan, it will be much better!
"What Tianshi Tao said is not unreasonable!"
After Jiajing listened calmly, his expression was indifferent, and he did not discuss and inquire like before. He put down the elixir box and let the matter of offering the elixir be over.
As soon as the conversation changed, the tone of the Emperor of Heaven began to become serious: "I invite the Heavenly Master to discuss the matter of praying for rain."
Tao Zhongwen knew that the unpredictable weather was causing people's heart to feel troubled again.
The Ming Dynasty in history was famous for extreme weather conditions. Especially in the decades around 1600, natural disasters such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, locust plagues, and extreme cold occurred without interruption every year.
The place is just different.
Whether it is the frequency of natural disasters, the scope of disasters or the degree of destruction, it is really rare throughout history. And then there is a bad Wanli, natural disasters and man-made disasters come together, it is strange that the country does not perish...
The Jiajing Dynasty was not that serious, but it was not much better. Before, it rained continuously and there was a tendency for waterlogging. Now it has not rained for a long time, and there is a tendency for drought.
It just so happens that praying for rain is also one of Tao Zhongwen's abilities. In history, he prayed for rain several times with merit. In fact, he came out at the right time and took the credit for the rain.
Not to mention that religions often use this kind of thing, even civil and military officials have examples.
For example, when Xiong Tingbi was patrolling Liaodong, he prayed in front of the statue of the City God's Temple and agreed that it would rain within seven days. If it didn't rain, the Temple of the City God would be demolished. When the time came, he sent his men to kill the City God. Before his men arrived, he
Seeing the wind and thunder, and the heavy rain, from then on "Liao people thought they were gods".
This method of establishing authority through weather forecasts was very useful in ancient times, but in this world, praying for rain is a real practice.
Tao Zhongwen raised his head slightly, glanced at the red flower on the emperor's chest, and said: "Old minister, I should do my best, and move the clouds and rain. There is no one in the three realms more than the Dragon King of the Four Seas. The capital has been protected by the Dragon God, why not
How about asking the God of the Dragon King to show up?"
Jiajing's expression remained unchanged: "The Dragon God is not suitable for the drastic changes in the world, and it is difficult for Taoists to have spiritual food. Why bother with such things? There is no need for a heavenly master to belittle himself. The people in the capital are eager for the rain. The Taoist temple has been set up, and we hope that the practice will be consistent all over the world and benefit all people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tao Zhongwen's eyes were full of gloom, and he said no more, and said: "Yes!"
To pray for rain during fasting, you need to set up a dojo, set up altars, build altars, pray, and finally cause thunder, lightning, wind and rain to make a good rain, which is extremely draining of spiritual power.
In the past, as a heavenly master, Tao Zhongwen would still be willing to show his hand occasionally, but now he has felt Jiajing's indifference, and knows that in the heart of this mean and unkind emperor, he only has the last bit of value left, and his thoughts are all turned to
Li Shizhen and Long Shen went over there...
He was extremely jealous of this, but he couldn't help but admire him a little.
After all, this emperor is extremely difficult to serve. It can be seen from the important ministers that Lu Fang has been by his side since the royal period and is dedicated to protecting the emperor. Lu Bing grew up eating someone's milk and is loyal. Yan Song seems to be a powerful person.
The favored ministers of the government and the public are actually tools of rule to ensure monasticism and enjoyment, and there is no real closeness...
It was precisely because he saw through this that Tao Zhongwen set fire to the palace and proposed that the two dragons should not meet each other to consolidate his position. However, it had only been a short time since Li Shizhen appeared before Jiajing paid such attention to him!
It is impossible to compete for favor, but it is more direct to eliminate them.
There is nothing to fear from people like Lan Daoxing. As long as Li Shizhen is gone, the crisis will be solved.
"I resign!"
After being ordered to pray for rain, under the unpredictable gaze of Jiajing, Tao Zhongwen bowed and left. After leaving the Longevity Palace, he saw Tao Shien waiting outside, his body tense and sitting there motionless.
Tao Zhongwen arrived: "Let's go!"
Tao Shien stood up quickly: "Father, Your Majesty..."
Tao Zhongwen sent a message: "Your Majesty asked me to pray for rain. My preference is obvious, but this can also attract the idea of Dragon Girl. Prepare your orbs and ghost tickets. If necessary, use both methods. Don't miss the opportunity!"
Tao Shi'en thought to himself that you were afraid that I wouldn't die quickly enough. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Yes!"
Tao Zhongwen didn't pay much attention to his son's mental state. Anyway, he had a divine restraint and wasn't afraid that the other person would lose control. He said a few more words of concern and walked towards the dojo.
Tao Shien left Xiyuan and headed towards the Tianshi Mansion immediately. When he returned home, he went to the main hall first.
The eldest brother Tao Shitong and the second brother Tao Shiliang were in the hall. The two Tao family members, who had no talent for cultivation and only received official positions in the mortal world, immediately stood up and said expectantly: "The third brother is back, and my father has entered Xiyuan. Do you have any orders from your majesty?"
Tao Shien sighed deliberately: "Your Majesty is asking me to do this so that my father can pray for rain, and not to tire the Dragon God. His preference is obvious..."
Tao Shitong and Tao Shiliang's expressions suddenly changed, and they said in a solemn voice, "Have I, Mrs. Tao, really fallen out of favor from now on?"
Tao Shien simply said something more serious: "Brothers, this is a critical moment. You take your sister-in-law and nephew to another hospital to take shelter. Be careful and don't get into trouble!"
Tao Shitong nodded quickly: "Okay! Third brother, you have to be careful too!"
After watching the two brothers leave, Tao Shien stepped into the spiritual area, took out the box, and Mingqiao flew out from it, and began to scatter the coins: "Nine Nether Ghosts, I need your help!"
"what happened?"
Shinji Nori on the other side was already in a daze and was about to be dragged into the underworld. The two ghosts on the left and right suddenly froze, watching a jet-black column of air rising into the sky that was difficult for ordinary people to see.
The dark light blazed brightly, and the dark wind drifted away, turning into dots of spiritual light, like floating crystals, and then formed a temporary passage connecting the land of the netherworld and the blessed land of the Heavenly Master.
The chains were loosened a little, and Nori Shinji came back to his senses, horrified: "The evil forces in the underworld are so arrogant that they just came to kill them?"
"What are you thinking about? You are not qualified to launch such a battle!"
As soon as Hou Guicha finished speaking, he saw a burly giant ghost crawling out first. Its body was grey-red, its fangs were raised, and its forehead was high. The most eye-catching thing was that it had five irregular eyes as red as blood.
distributed on the face.
"Five-Eyed Ghost King..."
The great ghost kings of the underworld include the vicious ghost king, the great evil ghost king, the ghost king that spreads calamity, the thousand-eyed ghost king, the beast-eating ghost king, the main disaster ghost king, the king of Qilisu, the king of Anazha, etc. Some of them obey the orders of the underworld, and some are in the underworld.
There is chaos in the underworld, and this one who appears now is already the more obedient ghost king among them, and is under the control of the underworld.
So after this five-eyed ghost king, a group of ghost servants dressed as jailers, with disheveled hair, and holding wooden signs with the word "日行" written on them, were the "God of Sun Tours".
Then there were sixteen more monsters, all with small cheeks and red shoulders, holding hands together, they were the "Night Wandering Gods".
These two types of underworld gods appear in Journey to the West. Wukong fights against the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King. He deceives the wise worms to find treasures that can be used to pretend to be heavenly, so he summons the Sun Traveling God, the Night Traveling God, and the Five Directions Revealing Gods.
Send a message to the Jade Emperor: "Old Sun converted to Zhengguo and protected Monk Tang from going to the West to obtain scriptures. The road was blocked by high mountains, and the teacher encountered hardships. I want to lure him to exchange for the treasure of the demon. Thousands of people worship him and lend the heaven to Old Sun.
Shut up for half an hour to help you succeed. If Dao refuses for even a moment, go to Lingxiao Hall and use your weapons!"
These arrogant threats were brought to the Lingxiao Palace by the Riyou God. The Jade Emperor said that the heavenly costume was not acceptable. The third prince Nezha thought of a clever way to borrow a soap-carved flag from Emperor Zhenwu and display it on the Nantian Gate.
, close the sun, moon and stars and put on a great show.
Now, of course, there is no such thing as a connection to the sky, but there are ghost tickets flying all over the sky. When the two ghosts dragged Nori Shinji not far away and looked towards this side, they were suddenly stunned.
They saw Tao Shien slowly soaring into the sky, a whirlwind blowing around him, and countless ghost tickets swirling around him. His original appearance was plain and a bit earthy, but now in the eyes of ghosts, he actually became handsome.
Riyushen took the lead and said, "This Taoist priest, we are here at the invitation. What are your instructions?"
Tao Shien first grabbed a handful of ghost tickets and stuffed them into it. It wasn't written by him anyway, so he didn't feel bad at all. It also gave him a different kind of pleasure.
Of course, business was more important. After letting out a fierce breath, he continued: "There is a dead soul hiding in this blessed place. He is the late Ming Dynasty prince. He was imprisoned by evil spirits and cannot enter reincarnation. I invite you all to come.
Just save it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing that the soul of a prince of a country did not enter the underworld, but was imprisoned privately, the God of Days and Nights skillfully stuffed the underworld tickets into their sleeves.
, and they all looked at the five-eyed ghost king.
The Five-Eyed Ghost King blinked his five big eyes and shot out a solid red light. He glanced around and soon landed on the retreat stone room. He made a loud sound and said: "Inside... the ghost energy... is rich... the karma... is extraordinary..."
"The prince of a country in the Yang Dynasty has huge karma, and the Ming Dynasty in the southern state is even more powerful!"
The Day Travel God and the Night Travel God looked at each other with solemn expressions and did not dare to neglect: "This matter is of great importance. We cannot make the decision privately. We need to ask for instructions..."
Without saying a word, Tao Shi'en grabbed a handful of ghost tickets and stuffed them over them: "Time is running out. I hope you will take action. Saving people is like putting out fire, and rescuing the souls of the dead is the same!"
Day Travel God and Night Travel God pushed with their hands, but the strength was too weak, so they had to accept it, and said solemnly: "What the Taoist said makes perfect sense. Saving people is like putting out fires. There really is no time to delay. Please tell me!"
There is no way! He gave too much!
The key is that if you accept this kind of money, there will be no future troubles.
There are some things that cannot be done, such as shortening one's life span, which is taboo in the underworld. Extending one's life span by one and a half years also depends on the situation. If the karma is heavy, it cannot be done.
But now you can get so many ghost votes by rescuing the soul of a prince. It is an unparalleled good job. What do you ask for? Just do it!
Tao Shi'en saw the enthusiasm of these underworld messengers and began to give instructions: "There are still disciples in retreat in the blessed land spiritual area. Let them fall asleep first..."
“Easy to handle!”
As soon as the Riyu Shen Token was turned over, the ghosts immediately took action.
There are still a group of disciples practicing in the blessed land. I thought this place was impregnable, but I never expected that the little heavenly master would become a ghost. He couldn't even utter a quick exclamation and was knocked down by the ghost guards.
After clearing the internal obstacles and confirming that there was no response from Tao Zhongwen, Tao Shien said again: "Please open a channel and bring my helping hand here."
"It's easy to handle!"
Both the Day Traveling God and the Night Traveling God can go to the three realms. As soon as the token is turned, a dark tunnel immediately opens through, and then a beautiful figure in white appears on the opposite side, followed by Tao Yin and Chi Lian.
Tao Shien looked at Tao Yin and was completely relieved: "Brother, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"
The Day Travel God and the Night Travel God looked at the leading figure with solemn expressions: "The aura of this spirit ghost... is so pure..."
Compared with her previous image of disheveled hair, this time Xiaoqian's face revealed a dignified and majestic look, and the vast Yin Qi and pure Buddha light surging around her shocked all the ghosts in the Yin Division.
How did you cultivate it?
Xiaoqian looked at the stone room and confirmed that the soul of the prince's brother was inside. She pursed her lips nervously, then showed her perseverance and took over the command:
