Chapter 843 The second divine king of Qiancheng Kingdom
The "Liang Yuyao" in Yuxian Hall is pretended by Xu Zhiqiong.
And this Hong Zhenji is pretending to be a puppet of the God King.
Hong Juncheng smelled the flesh and blood of the Hong family because there was Hong Zhenji's blood in the puppet of the Lord God.
Hong Juncheng smelled domineering because there was a dragon beard in the puppet of the god.
Dragon whiskers are used to sew souls together.
There are only two souls in the Shenjun puppet, one is that of Emperor Zhaoxing and the other is that of Long Xiulian.
Xu Zhiqiong and Xia Hu have learned suturing skills for a long time, but it is not an easy task to sew souls together, especially after the souls are sutured, they must maintain a certain level of combat power.
Moreover, the God Lord puppet must be used in conjunction with the orifice sealing technique. If there are too many souls, Shen Shuliang's skill proficiency will not be able to control the size of the orifice sealing.
For these two souls, it is extremely difficult to seal the orifice.
The first is Emperor Zhaoxing. The puppet's movement, sitting and lying are all controlled by Emperor Zhaoxing, because Emperor Zhaoxing's mobility is limited and easier to control.
The puppet's language was also controlled by Emperor Zhaoxing, but in order to prevent him from talking nonsense, Shen Shuliang used strict orifice sealing techniques, resulting in that he could only speak a few words.
Yang Wu emphasized it repeatedly, just a few words.
But Li Quangen confirmed that there were only three sentences.
The above are the functions of Emperor Zhaoxing, so what can Long Xiulian do?
Behind the puppet of the God King, there are two layers of talismans. These two talismans are very crucial and require a lot of hard work by Xu Zhiqiong and Shen Shuliang.
After uncovering one of the talismans, Long Xiulian, who was severely sealed, will rely on instinct to fight, but the battle will only take place within the puppet.
If the double talisman is revealed, Long Xiulian will control his body to fight. This is the worst outcome Xu Zhiqiong imagined. Under the premise that he is unable to continue fighting with Hong Juncheng, Long Xiulian will help him fight.
The risk of doing this is extremely high. Long Xiulian may be able to break free from the orifice-sealing technique and completely control the puppet. At that time, Xu Zhiqiong will have to face a crazy and terrifying opponent.
Although only one level of the spell has been revealed now, there are also risks. Xu Zhiqiong can feel the surge of power of imagery. But if Long Xiulian breaks away from the orifice-sealing technique, it is difficult to say whether he and Hong Juncheng will continue to fight or choose to cooperate. .
Xu Zhiqiong didn't even know if these two people had ever crossed paths before.
But as long as the orifice-sealing technique is not cracked, Long Xiulian will instinctively release the power of third-level imagery to temporarily trap Hong Juncheng. This is the final mission of the puppet of the God Lord.
As for how to control the Divine Lord in the future, Xu Zhiqiong has two plans.
The first set of plans is to replenish the power of imagery in the puppet of the God Lord from time to time, and then let Shen Shuliang continue to strengthen the sealing skills in the puppet, in order to achieve the purpose of long-term control of Long Xiulian, and use Long Xiulian's power to seal it for a long time Hong Juncheng.
This plan is simple to operate and highly executable. Hong Juncheng's condition can be observed at all times. In the event of an abnormal situation, as long as Xu Zhiqiong is present, appropriate handling can be made.
Based on the above considerations, Xu Zhiqiong chose the second plan.
He took out the copper lotus flower and fumbled with it affectionately for a long time. After obtaining the lotus's consent, it took him half an hour to take in the entire God Lord puppet.
It took a while, but Hong Juncheng was trapped in the puppet and could only let the lotus subdue him.
Lotus has the power of a true god, so it will definitely not be a problem to seal Hong Juncheng for a long time.
After the battle is over and Master or Xue Yun is free, let them take out Hong Juncheng's soul and interrogate it carefully. With their cultivation, they will not worry about Hong Juncheng's soul escaping.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, at that time, the puppet of the God Lord has not been refined into elixirs or other things.
If they were really refined, what would Long Xu, Hong Juncheng, Long Xiulian, and Emperor Jia Zhaoxing be refined into...
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the lotus and looked at it, and suddenly had another idea.
Otherwise, don't hand Hong Juncheng over to Master, and just practice slowly like this.
Xu Zhiqiong was very curious about what they could achieve.
Putting away the copper lotus, Xu Zhiqiong jumped to the roof of Yuxian Hall.
From Yuxian Hall, I jumped to Enwei Hall.
Standing at the highest point of Enwei Hall, Xu Zhiqiong looked at the slightly white sky.
A new sun has risen!
…
In the afternoon, Yang Wu carried another puppet of the god to the palace.
This puppet looks exactly like Hong Juncheng, except that the joints are not flexible enough. It is a defective product that was eliminated when the Shenjun puppet was made.
This defective body has only one use, and that is to serve as Hong Juncheng's corpse.
At the time of the announcement, Qin Yan, the chief official of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, officially announced the death of the divine king Hong Juncheng.
Hong Juncheng’s era is over!
More than seven hundred years of suffering are now over!
Hong Zhenji had just come out of prison. When he heard that the Lord Shen had passed away, he bit his lip. He suppressed a smile and howled twice: "The Lord Shen! Brother Huang!"
Qin Yan saw that Hong Zhenji was crying so badly that she found two heads of garlic for Hong Zhenji and rubbed it on his eyes.
Hong Zhenji finally burst into tears, but the ministers were also in trouble. As soon as he heard that Shenjun had passed away, Master Kong beat his chest and stamped his feet, grabbing the ground with his head. His head was bleeding, but his eyes were always dry.
Seeing that the ministers were so sad, Qin Yan quickly asked the Shangshang Supervisor to find good garlic, and each of them had a head of garlic.
The ministers rubbed their eyes, shed tears, and discussed Hong Juncheng's funeral with Hong Jinji.
According to the tradition of Qiancheng Kingdom, the funeral ceremony of the divine king lasts for three full years.
The first year had the most requirements. From the princes to the common people, the entire Qiancheng territory had to wear mourning clothes. Officials from all prefectures and counties, big and small, all came to Shenlin City to pay their respects.
There are more rules in Shenlin City: mourning clothes must be worn within three years, the market is closed, and selling is strictly prohibited.
The market has not been open for three years, and private sales are not allowed, but what are the craftsmen allowed to eat?
The craftsmen of Qiancheng Kingdom have this status. If they want to survive, they must either leave Shenlin City secretly, or secretly exchange for some food and barely survive.
Whenever a divine emperor dies, there are always many craftsmen who cannot survive. The Jinxiu pen official also records this. When a certain craftsman in Wangshi Pavilion heard about the death of the late emperor, he was so sad that he went on a hunger strike and died.
Moreover, Jinxiu pen officials also have a very important task. During the funeral, they have to monitor the actions of the people in the streets and alleys.
Who drank, who sang, who didn't cry when he mentioned the Lord of Gods, who not only didn't cry, but also secretly laughed. This is all disrespectful to the late emperor. At the least, he will be exiled from the army, and at the most serious, he will be executed!
This time when Hong Juncheng died, the Ministry of Rites proposed that according to the ancestral system, the funeral should be held for three years.
The Grand Master proposed that the divine monarch's martial virtues and merits would last for eternity, so the funeral should last five years.
He added two more years.
Grand Tutor Liao Chunzu proposed that the divine king had saved thousands of people from water and fire many times, and even counting the kindness of the divine king could not be completed in ten years. Therefore, he suggested that the funeral should be held for ten years.
This is the practice of the Qiancheng Kingdom. After the death of a monarch, the ministers will discuss extending the funeral ceremony to express their respect and reluctance to the previous divine monarch.
In other places, this is something that is difficult for people to understand. What do you mean by being so reluctant to part with the previous monarch? Do you look down on the new monarch?
In Qiancheng Kingdom, this is easy to understand, because both the predecessor and the current one are the same person.
The more reluctant the ministers showed to give up, the more satisfied the god king felt, so this became a custom in Qiancheng Kingdom.
As for whether the funeral ceremony should really be extended, it depends on the mood of the Lord God. He is not willing to wear mourning clothes all the time, so under normal circumstances, it is based on the ancestral system, which is three years.
But this year, the Divine Lord has been replaced. No one in the entire Qiancheng Kingdom knows that after more than seven hundred years, the Divine Lord has finally been replaced.
Hong Zhenji, who was about to become a divine king, had no idea how special he was, and he never imagined that he was actually the second divine king of Qiancheng Kingdom.
Listening to the ministers' praise of the former divine monarch, Hong Zhenji felt very unhappy, but he couldn't express it.
The ministers were waiting for Hong Zhenji's final reply. Hong Zhenji was in a dilemma when he heard Qin Yan step forward and say: "Your Highness, please go to Yuxian Hall to take medicine."
Take medicine?
What medicine should I take?
Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan and suddenly realized something in his heart.
Qin Yan is the holder of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so Qin Yan has to do some specific errands for the funeral. He obviously wants to give him some advice.
Hong Zhenji nodded and said: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen, and I will return as soon as possible."
A group of ministers thought that Hong Zhenji was too sad and asked you to take care of yourself.
When they arrived at Yuxian Hall, Qin Yan took out an edict and said: "According to the decree of the Lord God, the funeral should be simple."
Hong Zhenji took the edict, looked at it, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't this edict come out earlier?"
Qin Yan lowered her voice and said: "If this edict is announced too early, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will use their scheming ideas."
Hong Zhenji was startled: "The unpredictable person said..."
Qin Yan shook his head and said: "I don't dare to speak nonsense, but if some ministers say that the divine king is as magnanimous as the divine king and the subjects have the will of the subjects, wouldn't this edict be useless?"
Hong Zhenji nodded. He could imagine the faces of the ministers, especially the face of Grand Master Kong Zhongshen.
This old man is quite dissatisfied with me becoming a divine king.
Qin Yan then said: "Your Highness, you will be enthroned as a great treasure. Since you have a legacy, you don't need to discuss this matter with the ministers."
Hong Zhenji clutched the edict and his expression became more and more serious.
You're right, what should I discuss with them?
I'm going to become a god!
When will the emperor discuss matters with his ministers?
Qiancheng Shenjun does not need to discuss matters with anyone!
The so-called ministers are servants who contribute to the Lord of God!
"Qin Yan, since we are talking about simplicity, how simple can it be?"
Qin Yan thought for a moment: "Stretch out three fingers."
"In other words, it will take at least three years? But is there no other way?" Hong Zhenji frowned. He wanted Qiancheng Kingdom to forget the previous divine king as soon as possible.
Qin Yan shook her head and said: "What I want to say is three days."
"Three days!" Hong Zhenji was startled and yelled angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this comply with the etiquette? Isn't this asking thousands of subjects to criticize a few people?"
Qin Yan lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Your Highness, if you stick your finger behind you, there will be many ways to deal with it in the future. If you stick your finger in front of you, it will lead to danger."
Hong Zhenji was stunned: "What do you mean by this? What does it mean to stick your finger in front of you?"
Qin Yan said: "The funeral ceremony is not over yet, and the new foundation is not yet stable. This is an ancient ritual for thousands of years. Your Highness, please don't forget that the Second Holy Son and the Third Holy Son are both still alive. If you poke them in front of your body with your finger, it may not be with your hand."
Hong Zhenji took a deep breath.
Qin Yan is right. Qiancheng Kingdom does have an ancient ritual of "before the funeral is over, the new foundation is not stable." This means that as long as the funeral is not over, the identity of the new divine king is not stable.
It was indeed unstable. During the funeral, the new king had to wear mourning clothes every day.
In the past, this was just a formality, but now it is not as simple as a formality. Hong Zhenji is not Hong Juncheng's son, and Hong Juncheng's two sons are still alive.
If these two sons jump out, they may confront Hong Zhenji at any time. This is the so-called personal accusation.
They may even raise an army to start an uprising. This is what is called criticizing without using hands, using weapons!
Qin Yan reminded again: "Your Highness, the nights are long and there are many dreams. Three days is not a short time, but it is hard to say whether there will be any changes."
Hong Zhenji let out a long sigh, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Brother Huang is very kind to me. If the funeral ceremony is too hasty, how can I bear it?"
Qin Yan quickly asked: "According to His Highness's wishes, how long should the ceremony be?"
Hong Zhenji let out a long sigh, looked at Qin Yan and said, "Say, can one day do it?"
Qin Yan was silent for a long time and said: "One day, this is really a bit hasty..."
Hong Zhenji smacked his lips and said, "Brother Huang talks about simplicity, but Brother Huang is a frugal person."
Qin Yan leaned over and saluted: "I understand, I will take care of it now."
Hong Zhenji sighed: "Although it is the emperor's wish, it is difficult for me to speak."
Qin Yan nodded again: "I'll wait for the old slave to tell you all about it."
