I never thought that in this distant vassal country in the Far East, I could actually see Jingling Palace, which had a great relationship with the Song Dynasty. Ji Xiang came to the front of the hall in the posture of a shadow god, and at this time, the sound of pushing the door came from behind.
Ji Xiang never evaded and maintained his shadowy appearance. In this state, ordinary people would never be able to find him.
If he is discovered...it means that the person who came here is not simple, and he needs to be questioned carefully.
squeak.
The door opened, and it was the North Korean king who appeared here.
King Li Ho of North Korea.
The bright red Gonglong robe symbolizes a level lower than the bright yellow Gonglong robe, but higher than those of ministers. The monarch of a vassal country was treated as a prince in the Ming Dynasty.
But the bright red color faded the moment he stepped into the Jingling Hall. The dragon pattern on it seemed to come to life, but it became a bit sinister. Even his face was extremely thin and yellow, and his eyes were even darker. He was staring straight at the gate of Jingling Hall.
Ji Xiang pondered.
Has this king ever been so thin before?
The war has been going on for seven years. For this king, there is no place in his country that is not involved in the war. It is normal to be a little tired, but his face looks like he is suffering from some serious illness.
Could it be that he came to the temple to pray to his ancestors and talk about the restoration? But he should have done this a long time ago.
or....
Ji Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyelids.
What was the name of the hall he saw right now?
When the Japanese army came here, in order to seize the national fortune, all other redundant temples in the ancestral temple were demolished, leaving only this ancient temple established by Emperor Taejo of Joseon. But the name of this temple should be called Fengxianden. .
Ji Xiang narrowed his eyes and recalled this incident at this time. Although he had not stayed in Wangjing for too long before and almost just passed by, the mages around him, or those who were big and rough, When the military generals talked to each other, they inevitably mentioned the situation of the initial attack on Wangjing. Naturally, they had also been to this ancestral temple, and some people had seen what happened.
"Speaking of it, this kind of thing seems to have happened before."
Ji Xiang began to have brief memories again.
When Song Ting first appeared, he occupied the bodies of several chief gods in the Seventy-Two Divisions of the Yin Division, forcibly controlled their divine thrones with Yin spirits, sealed their souls, and imprisoned them in the divine thrones. Control them like unintentional puppets.
At that time, after the incident was over, it was said that Jing Ling's name also appeared on the plaques of some Yinsi Yamen and Dongyue Temple.
The last time Jingling Palace appeared.
It was in the mountains and fields near Xiangyang, in the illusion created by those giant tombs!
That time, King Tianluo appeared!
The King of Joseon did not notice Ji Xiang. In fact, given his state and level, his physical body was still a complete mortal, and it was impossible to discover the existence of the Shadow God. He just pushed open the door of Jingling Hall, and the things placed inside The tablets of the divine ancestors can be seen at a glance.
Plop——
When the King of Joseon entered the Jingling Hall, he knelt down and kowtowed seven times in a row.
And at the moment when these seven heads were kowtowed.
The king of Joseon took out an earthen jar from his sleeve and placed it in front of the ancestral shrine.
The earthen jar began to shake the moment it was placed in front of the altar. As the lid of the earthen jar opened automatically, a pure soul power emerged from it!
[?: Weather is the soul. More than 10,000 souls gather together and are controlled by inexplicable magic in some kind of vessel. The souls gather in the altar, and the wandering souls become transformed. Finally, an essence of thousands of souls is born.
, is a symbol of the return of acquired souls to the innate essence body.】
[If ghosts and immortals take it, they can increase their spiritual practice by 550 years.]
[Can refine "Shocking Pill". 】
"Yin and yang change, the two scenes create reality, the jade spirit turns into the soul, the soul calms the spirit, the three and five are mixed, never leaving my body, the sun and moon are protected, and the three scenes come together in the morning."
"Please ask the true spirit to come and see you."
At the same time, something opposite and echoing happened.
Among the rows of gods in front, waves of incense mist floated out. After the King of Korea inhaled the smoke, he actually showed an extremely happy expression.
And his extremely thin, sallow complexion, as if seriously ill, also regained its rosiness in an instant, and he even looked a little richer.
Ji Xiang was observing this strange situation.
Even if you feed on incense, you will not become like this if you don't eat incense. The same goes for those incense monsters. They will become weak, but there will not be such a change. Rather than this change in demeanor, it is
In the transition between hunger and gluttony, it would be better to say that the North Korean king seemed to be smoking poppies at this time.
The incense penetrated the body, and the next moment, bursts of black energy filled the row of gods!
Ji Xiang's eyes suddenly condensed!
This black gas, like the mist of incense, was inhaled by the king of Korea. This time, his expression was even more joyful, and he was completely excited. He even clenched his fists and raised his hands in the ancestral temple, and then jumped and cheered like a macaque.
stand up.
Totally crazy!
By exchanging the destiny of the country for poisonous incense and black gas, can the king of a country easily become an addict?
Because the two captures by the Ming court failed, the Song court wanted to use the territory of North Korea to reverse the yin and yang again this time?
Did he kill the Yinshan sect and seize the power of the Yinshan teachings in order to flex his muscles in North Korea?
There are also changes.
After this weird inhalation ritual stopped, a sacred tablet in the center suddenly shook, followed by a shadow that twisted out of it, like a large amount of smoke spewing out from a tiny hole!
"How about, during this period, is the black energy I gave you still useful?"
"When you first met me last time, I told you that you would definitely come to me again."
The shadow made a terrifying sound, and while speaking, there seemed to be three voices speaking simultaneously from three directions to the center. The overlapping sounds made people's ears continuously vibrate, affecting the mind.
This is not ordinary speech, but the method of Yin Spirit is used.
"Father, I would like to thank you for your gift!"
The king of North Korea was not in a normal state. His eyes were dark and his mouth was grinning stupidly. He knelt down to the shadow again, kowtowed repeatedly, and at the same time kept telling his gratitude to the other party.
"When the sons and ministers were desperate, it was the emperor and father who helped them. The sons and ministers were first destroyed by Japanese pirates and then humiliated by the Ming Dynasty. Now, it is time to bring them back."
"Okay, it seems you have finally made up your mind. This is the right choice, but you have no choice at this time."
"Lishanhe disdains you; the Ming Dynasty looks down on you; Japanese pirates are mortal enemies; as for Western missionaries, they admire China or cross the sea to Japan. I have never seen anyone crossing the East China Sea to preach in your country. After all, they
I don’t look down on you either.”
"As for the people of Nanyang, they are uncivilized and separated by thousands of miles of waterways. They have nothing to do with you. As for Jianzhou, the Tatars and the like are always thinking about chewing your flesh and blood, drinking your marrow, and talking to them is no different.
To dance with wolves and seek skin from tigers.”
"I'm the only one waiting, so I can still maintain some integrity."
Xuying seemed very satisfied with the North Korean king's statement: "In this case, your country can continue to please the Ming Dynasty with the attitude of 'one vassal serving two masters'."
However, when these words came out, the King of Joseon was shocked and quickly defended: "The Ming Dynasty does not regard Joseon as its son, Joseon does not regard Ming Dynasty as its father, and Joseon is not the Goryeo of the previous generation. How can there be a vassal serving two masters?"
!”
"Goryeo was arrogant and abandoned its emperor and father to join a foreign nation. It regarded the foreign master as its father and did not regard the Chinese master as its father. They were like evil wolves. Korea was unwilling to abandon the Ming Dynasty, but it was a king who did not regard his ministers as his ministers.
, the father does not regard the son as his son, so Korea has turned its back on its late father and joined the present father. Why is it in the same category as Goryeo?"
"The Japanese pirates were extremely ferocious and brutally killed their fathers. Korea was weak, but it was as blood-soaked as the Ming Dynasty. However, the father did not kiss his own children, but instead thirsted for their blood. The parents and the children wanted to protect themselves, so they had no choice but to abandon them!"
The King of North Korea tried his best to defend himself, saying that if you surrender to one party, you are the son of the other party. There is no reason for one son to have two fathers. However, Xuying comforted him and said that he could accept your attitude, but now you have to pretend to be the Ming Dynasty.
A filial son and a virtuous grandson should not be betrayed easily.
"It occupies your land and gathers your people. It is nominally independent of your country, but in fact it is all decided by it. This method of garrisoning troops abroad can maximize the borrowing of your country's power and completely control your country."
National destiny and national prestige.”
"Although you are still independent, in fact you can't help but be independent. The vassal is ultimately the minister, and the suzerain is the emperor after all. If the emperor wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die?"
"But since ancient times, if a minister does not want to die, he will rebel."
"In the Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao rebelled, and Taizu Huangpao was added to his body. This act of rebelling against Tiangang and betraying the Lord is not something that can be easily accomplished."
Xuying sighed a few words and then said:
"If you want to gain power, you must pay a corresponding price. You must sell the fate of the country, connect with me, the Song Dynasty, and unite yin and yang. Doing such a big thing that confuses life and death is just to avoid repeating the mistakes of destroying the country. I
Of course I understand how you feel."
"So, of course we will help you."
"From now on, there will be no more life and death in this country. Release our power to the entire country, including the lands occupied by the Ming Dynasty. Replace their incense, replace their temples, and let the dead mix with the living.
Among them, the living ghosts of the Yang world are replaced by the ghosts of the Yin spirit in the underworld."
"The Ming Dynasty will spread their national prestige on your land, which will inevitably make their national destiny cover your land. In this way, the national destiny of the two countries will be mine, and you will be among them. With the Ming Dynasty as the
Take the lead, and you, North Korea, are vassals. If the Ming Dynasty is in danger, it will draw blood from your country's national destiny to revive it. He will not only do this in your country. Next, Tatar, the Western Regions, Nanyang, South Vietnam...
.They all have to do this.”
"If you spread my luck in the underworld, my fortune in the Song Dynasty will be combined with that of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, when the Three Kingdoms are unified, not only will my strength in the underworld be greatly increased, but also
It is the creatures in your country who have lost the concept of life and death, and even the creatures in the Ming Dynasty will also lose the concept of life and death."
"I am not only saving you, but also saving the Ming Dynasty. They should be grateful to me. If there was no such immortal army, would they have to fight against the immortals in Lishanhe with their bodies?"
Xuying said, suddenly looking around.
"There seems to be someone?"
Ji Xiang's brows raised at this moment, and several sword blades emerged from the shadow.
"Maybe it's an illusion."
The phantom stared at the location where Ji Xiang existed. It was not known whether he had really seen it or not. His expression was not abnormal, but he then controlled the entire Jingling Palace with magic, blocking out all prying eyes.
Then, an abnormal force seemed to distort the space in which Jingling Hall existed, causing it to enter an illusory world.
Ji Xiang recognized that this was the method used by King Tianluo at the beginning, but this phantom was not King Tianluo.
who is he?
After a while, Ji Xiang almost reached the door of the twisted space, and the power suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Only the King of Korea himself was left, slumped on the ground.
The North Korean leader's voice was not loud, and his eyes were filled with anger. The key point was that there was no trace of white in his eyes, and they were completely infected with black.
He was muttering to himself:
"The suzerain country wants to invade the land of the vassal country, take away our country's national destiny, and even deprive our country of its autonomy. Our country's national destiny has just been restored. It's not even enough to honor the emperor and father. How can it be coveted by this Ming country?"
"I am indeed incompetent and lost to the Japanese pirates, so that the country fell into this situation. I am now a lackey of the former Song Dynasty. Isn't it because I can't protect the country?"
He was talking to himself alone in the Jingling Hall, sometimes crying, sometimes yelling, and finally regaining his composure. As the blackness in his eyes faded, he returned to the useless tired look before.
However, he began to say that he needed that energy...
"As long as I have this kind of energy and can keep my spirit and strength strong, I can become a great monarch and work hard to govern, regardless of any cronies, foreign Japanese bandits, or the so-called No one in the world can influence my decision."
"I am the king of North Korea. No one can influence my will. I would rather sell my soul to ghosts and gods... If someone wants to control this land, then I will kill everyone on the land. As long as the mountains and rivers are still there Now, I am still the monarch here!"
"When people are gone...will there be no more people? The underworld will send me a large number of souls, so that they can be reincarnated and reincarnated into me."
"They don't even need to combine men and women. They can directly deliver a living person made of ready-made flesh and blood to me."
"It's like growing vegetables..."
Ji Xiang watched all this in silence.
The King of Korea has gone crazy. He would never have been able to say such words before, but now his fearful and timid face has disappeared, replaced by addictive madness and absolute madness.
But Ji Xiang cannot say that his idea is wrong.
It is really difficult for a small country to seize its own interests from the battles of a big country. Everyone wants to be the master of the world. People are driven by desire, but this desire is not without merit.
It's just that the price of this failure has to be borne by the entire country, which is enough to show that his character has been twisted.
The people don't care about these things, they just need to live a good life. If one person achieves his great deeds at the expense of the lives of all the people in the country...then isn't he a tyrant?
Ji Xiang watched the King of Korea leave the temple crazily, but this guy did not return to his home, but turned into an old farmer as he walked. This was also part of the power given to him by the phantom. one.
Song Ting has been studying the art of fetal transformation, but he does not have the most critical red rainbow jade. It is a god-given treasure that can only be elicited by those with great righteousness. It is an absolutely miraculous thing that has been passed down since the Spring and Autumn Period. .
"It's not a cover-up, it's the ability to change one's form and spirit. Is it the ability of a grudge ghost or a form-refining ghost?"
Ji Xiang followed the King of Korea. His speed was not fast, but every step seemed to cross several different scenery. So after walking a thousand steps, he came to a deep mountain.
A long hoe appeared in his hand, and there was a vegetable garden here.
"It will definitely appear."
The King of Korea spoke and murmured to himself. This sentence contained all his heart. When the hoe went down, the soil under the vegetable leaves was dug up, and a flesh and blood hand stretched out from inside.
A fetus covered in blood, as if it had not yet fully developed, crawled out of the ground.
