Chapter 455: Jin Ting resigns and Hei Long takes office
The Immortal Jinting took one of them and sent the other to Taihu Lake.
After dismissing his attendants, the Immortal Jin Ting unwrapped the package covering the Buddhist shrine. The yellow cloth package itself was also a treasure that could conceal the aura.
If a mortal steals it and puts it on, he can hide his aura and not be afraid of evil spirits or monsters. But compared to these 100,000 incense sticks, it is nothing.
The Taihu God sensed the rich aroma of incense in the shrine and walked forward eagerly. The shrine's door was sealed with vermilion lacquer and surrounded by spells, sealing the incense inside.
The Taihu God picked up the shrine and smiled from the bottom of his heart, saying, "Good, good, good!"
The Taihu God is ranked as a fourth-rank water deity, receiving annual celestial offerings and receiving incense and sacrifices from the human world. Furthermore, the spiritual energy and destiny of Taihu Lake are freely available to him for his use; as long as he doesn't abuse or destroy it, it will remain a source of income for a long time.
Even so, in front of the incense of 100,000 people, the Taihu God couldn't help but be moved.
Heavenly offerings are good, but they are never enough. Even less are the incense offerings to the water god of Taihu Lake.
Taihu's inspiration and destiny cannot be used at will; they must balance yin and yang and maintain stability.
None of these can compare to the convenience, speed, and effectiveness of unclaimed incense. Nor can they be as abundant as 100,000 incense sticks, let alone 100,000 incense sticks every year.
One hundred thousand incense sticks mean a population of one hundred thousand, and they must be devout and sincere. How could so many people go to worship the Taihu water god?
After receiving the incense, the Taihu God looked at the Jinting Immortal with a much kinder look and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "King Tonghui said that a shrine will be built outside Gusu City tomorrow. Please ask the Taihu God to propose a name for the shrine."
The Taihu God twirled his beard and said, "Let me consider this matter carefully. After I come up with a name for the god, I will send someone to deliver it to the Shenjing Palace."
The Immortal Jin Ting nodded and said, "Okay, the shrine will be completed in a month at most. King Wu will then personally offer sacrifices. At that time, the Dragon Lord will also need to descend with his divine spirit to correct the people's hearts."
Taihu God said: "Thank you for the reminder, Great Immortal."
The Taihu God's eyes were glued to the shrine, and his hands were also glued to the shrine, unable to move away. The Great Immortal Jin Ting laughed and said, "Your Excellency, I have been invited by Shangfang Mountain. I am afraid it will be difficult to escape in the future. It is not reasonable for me to get too involved with the Taihu Water Palace. Tiechen and Duheng do not need to follow me anymore. Let them practice on their own."
The Taihu God finally regained his composure and glanced at the Immortal Jinting. With a half-appreciative, half-pretentious expression, he said, "I'm ashamed. Thanks to the Immortal's guidance, my wicked son has finally returned to the right path. It's just that the matter at Shangfang Mountain... I beg for your forgiveness."
The Taihu God is no fool, or rather, he is quite astute. He may not be able to see the big picture, but he is quite clever in some matters.
The Wutong God gave him three conditions, which allowed the old dragon to see their plan.
The Five Gods and even the righteous gods of Gusu were probably already surrounding King Wu and working to change the world. It was nothing more than relying on the merits of supporting the dragon to rise to prominence, transforming from an evil god into a righteous god.
Whether this matter succeeds or not, Lao Long dares not get involved. He is now a righteous god, and success or failure is of no concern to him. If he interferes, he will be reduced to ashes.
Secret transactions are secret transactions. They turn a blind eye to each other and have their own stories. There is no written record and they don’t even meet in person. Everything is handled by the middleman Jin Ting Daxian.
As for the shrine outside Gusu City, it was built by the King of Wu. Now that the King of Wu has not rebelled, he is grateful for the grace of the gods and built a temple for him, the water god. What does this have to do with the Five Gods?
He had no control over the plans of the gods appointed by the dynasties, and they would not affect his lineage of water gods.
Even if the Immortal Jin Ting didn't speak, the Taihu God would not let Tie Chen and Du Heng contact him again. The Taihu God could hide in Shangfang Mountain, but the Immortal Jin Ting couldn't.
However, the reason why Jin Ting Daxian wanted to step down was because he had nothing to teach them.
There was no need for them to collect the essence of heavenly thunder anymore. After the Heavenly Thunder Pill had been refined with the power of Taihu Lake, the amount of heavenly thunder essence collected by their three dragons, even with the help of rain workers, would be a drop in the bucket.
It is no longer possible to wipe out the evil spirits in the waters. Even the water veins of Wujun have to be ceded to King Tonghui, so there is no need to repair the water veins of Wujun.
If Du Heng and Tie Chen are brought back to Shenjing Palace, then the Great Immortal Jin Ting will have to teach them his true abilities.
Tiechen was fine, after all, he had been secretly guiding him, and at least he could call him "cheap master". But Duheng, the Great Immortal Jinting, had no intention of actually accepting this little guy as his disciple.
After returning to Shenjing Palace, Cai Leiguan had a rare moment of leisure, so he sat cross-legged on a pillar and meditated.
When the inspector saw that he had nothing to do, he immediately found something for him to do.
"Ao!" The red dragon circled around the other side's doorpost, sparks coming out of its mouth. It was afraid of the black dragon, showed its ferocity, and issued a warning.
The black dragon stretched out a claw and smacked the red dragon on the head, knocking him off the pillar. He then angrily said to the Inspector, "Chong Jing, what did you bring this beast here for?"
Chong Jing said, "You promised to teach him. I didn't bring him here because I saw you were busy and didn't want to burden you. Now that you're free, you must fulfill your promise."
The black dragon looked at the confused red dragon and said with gritted teeth, "This beast..."
Chong Jing said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of animal is this? He is a dragon. He has a name, Fanu."
The black dragon spat out a breath of cold air at Chong Jing's feet. Chong Jing quickly jumped away. The cold air froze the ground.
"What's this? Fa Nu, change your name to Fa Tian."
The black dragon's face became uncertain. He stretched out a claw, grabbed the neck of the red dragon hiding behind the doorpost, and pulled it in front of him, looking at the red dragon carefully.
The red dragon was spewing fire from its mouth. Although there was fear in its eyes, it was still clear. Although it was ignorant, it was full of spirit.
"That's all."
The Black Dragon sighed, pinned the Red Dragon against the opposite doorpost, and said viciously, "I'm going to show some mercy today and teach you a lesson, you idiot. If you don't learn well and make me angry, I'll let you taste the whip too."
Chong Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fa...Fatian will learn it. Please take care of it."
The black dragon snorted, a stream of cold air emanating from its nose. It then asked the red dragon, "What should I teach you first? Can you speak dragon language? Can you write dragon script?"
The black dragon asked in dragon language. The red dragon seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
The Black Dragon suddenly became impatient and was about to order Chong Jing to take him away when the Red Dragon called out tentatively.
Chong Jing didn’t understand, but Heilong did, and he said “No” like a baby learning to speak.
The dragon is a divine creature born from nature, and dragon language and dragon script are born naturally from the spiritual nature.
Acquired changes would cause it to become dusty, but it wouldn't be lost. However, if there was not even a trace of it left, it would be like a foolish creature with only a dragon body but no dragon soul.
Black Dragon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
If you don’t know how, then Master Black Dragon can’t teach you.
