Chapter 10 Viper The moment when the statue of Ziwei Emperor, which looked ordinary and even a little mottled and broken, began to glow. Prime Minister Turtle knew that this was the right place! As early as the first time when he and his servant were caught by the young Taoist priest, Prime Minister Turtle knew that although this Taoist temple was small, it was indeed of great importance. There are also rules for establishing Taoist temples, Buddhist temples and other places to worship immortals, saints, gods and Buddhas in the world. All orthodox sacred temples of immortals and Buddhas must be well-known in the Heavenly Court and reported to the heavens. Only in this way can they accept incense offerings and at the same time, they can also be known by the deities being worshipped. But this world is vast, and not all gods are orthodox and have their names recorded in heaven. On the contrary, in today's world, wild temples account for the majority. In this huge city of Hangzhou, there are only two Buddhist temples named Jinshan and Lingyin, but there are no Taoist temples. But when he was caught last time, Prime Minister Turtle accidentally discovered that this small Taoist temple called Ziwei Temple was actually a Taoist temple that had the name of the Heavenly Court, and it might even attract the attention of Emperor Ziwei! This is also the reason why the master and servant rushed here in a hurry this time. Firstly, it is the closest here, and secondly, the deity enshrined here is Ziwei Emperor, one of the Four Imperial Gods of Heaven.
The Dragon King of West Lake is also a water god appointed by the Heavenly Court. If one really wants to force a relationship, they are in the same system. Compared with Buddhist temples, Taoist temples are closer to the gods in heaven. "Well, I'll just follow you two." Jiang Lin nodded and agreed. "However, after tonight, you two should do as you please." Jiang Lin didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he said softly, "At the beginning, I couldn't distinguish the true spirits with my naked eyes, and you two almost got cooked. Now I'm letting you stay for one night, which can be regarded as paying back the karma." "Please accept the incense money..." Prime Minister Turtle was still thinking about how to speak so that the Taoist priest in front of him would show more mercy. After all, it was obvious that the demon king who almost overturned the West Lake Dragon Palace was no longer afraid of this Taoist temple, but was retreating. This may very well be the final place for the master and servant to stay. But before I could say anything, I saw the Taoist priest suddenly froze in the middle of his nice words, and I didn't know what he was thinking. Little did he know that Jiang Lin was no less confused than Prime Minister Turtle at this moment. Just now, Jiang Lin had only said half of his words when a hint of purple air suddenly lingered in his sea of consciousness. The purple air swirled and turned into a big word in Jiang Lin's sea of consciousness. "save." save? Jiang Lin suppressed the doubts and shock in his heart, and forced himself not to look at the statue of the Emperor, but instead looked at Prime Minister Turtle and Ao Run. Save them both? Is this what the Emperor meant? Could it be that the Emperor was angered by the offense from the demon just now? Jiang Lin was a little puzzled, but since it was the order from the Emperor, Jiang Lin would naturally not disobey. "Put the money for the incense in. After all, it is a token of your kindness." Jiang Lin changed the subject and said with a smile, "This is a desolate and dilapidated place. If you two believers can tolerate it, it would be fine to stay for a while longer."
Ao Run was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the Taoist priest's attitude changed so much. "I can bear it, I can bear it, I can bear it a thousand times!" Prime Minister Turtle was the one who reacted quickly. He didn't care why. He quickly stuffed the incense money into the merit box, and then bowed to Jiang Lin with a smile on his face to thank him. "Master, please have mercy!" "You're welcome, believer." Jiang Lin shook his head, suddenly took two steps forward and looked at Ao Run, who had been silent all the time. "Princess, I have something to say." "Master, do you want to ask about the demon? Or my current situation?" Ao Run tilted his head and asked softly. "Both." Jiang Lin nodded. Prime Minister Turtle standing by was somewhat helpless, "Princess, now you and I are living under someone else's roof, if you interrupt me like this, wouldn't it make the Taoist priest lose face?" Ao Run obviously didn't care about this, he just nodded to indicate that he could say it. "So that the Taoist priest can know, my family in the West Lake Dragon Palace has three sons, and I am the youngest. The two above me are my elder brothers." "Now, they have all been eaten by the demon king." Her tone was flat, but Jiang Lin saw her hands clenched tightly with veins bulging out. "That demon king is a viper that has become a spirit. I don't know how many years he has cultivated. Although he is only half a dragon, his demonic power is so strong that my father is no match for him." "At first, he suppressed his evil spirit and came to see me as a righteous spirit. My father treated him with courtesy, but he became more and more demanding and wanted to marry me." "At that time, in the eyes of my two brothers, although this demon king had not yet become a dragon, he was also a member of the scale clan and had a righteous cultivation. He was even more of a good choice at the time. He was not a very good match, but he was not something they would reject in person." "But my father is knowledgeable and experienced, and he recognized the demon king's method of cultivation." "It's the blood-devouring method." "Blood Devouring Technique?" Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and thought of some records in the black law. "Yes." Ao Run nodded and said, "The so-called blood swallowing is to swallow the blood of higher-level creatures to preserve one's own body." "He asked to marry me for this very reason. If I really marry him and give birth to his child, he will use the blood-devouring method to devour me and the child together. This will refine his own blood and promote him to a dragon body, thus achieving enlightenment." Even though he had seen the description of this method in the Black Law, Jiang Lin still felt a chill in his heart when he heard Ao Run talk about it. Evil, so evil. Even if it is a demon, it can refine the laryngeal bone. After it gains intelligence, most of them will also attach importance to the continuation of their bloodline.
But in order to achieve success with this method, the most important thing is to devour your wife and children... "Father naturally refused, so the demon king tore off his disguise and tried to take me by force." "My father fought with him, but he was no match for me. He is now imprisoned in the Dragon Palace in West Lake." "My two elder brothers were also devoured by him. Only I and Prime Minister Turtle escaped." "I also want to thank the Taoist priest for capturing the two of us and bringing us to the Taoist temple, giving us a glimmer of hope." "Now, I am really at my wit's end and can only come to ask for the Taoist priest's protection." After Ao Run finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Linfu. Jiang Lin did not answer immediately, but turned and looked at the statue of the Emperor. If we just want to save the master and servant, we can just let them stay in the Taoist temple. After all, they are righteous spirits who have achieved human form, so fasting is just a small problem. It's nothing more than exchanging a portion of freedom for life safety. As time went on, the demon king might have lost his patience. What's more, Jiang Lin is not standing still. If he can achieve great success one day, he will be able to fight the demon king. As for Jiang Lin himself, even if he left the Taoist temple, he didn't think that the demon king would go crazy enough to attack him. At most, there will be some constraints in future actions. But if it is for the emperor's order, this price is not a problem. But the problem is... Would the Emperor really let Jiang Lin be so cowardly? Would he really allow his disciple, a mage who practices black law in the Arctic Exorcism Institute, to hide and cower in front of the demons? If this were not the case, then the Emperor's decree of "rescue" would have a reason. Thinking in his mind, Jiang Lin also asked the doubts in his heart. "May I ask Princess, why doesn't the Dragon King ask for help from Heaven, or the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the Four Great Dragon Gods?" (End of this chapter)
