Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?
127 Prophecy, or lie?
Lang Yue has really had bad luck recently.
Since losing the position of high priest a few years ago, his life in the Temple of the King of God has been worsening day by day.
After all, with the people and forces that he and his Milong tribe have offended over the years, once he falls, most people will want to step on him.Plus those speculators who want to curry favor with Da Xikang by suppressing him...
It was because Da Xikang was indifferent to the power struggle inside the Temple of Gods after he came to power, which allowed him to breathe.
But this does not mean that he can let go of his hatred, keep his own place, and live in the world.Because if he doesn't regroup and continue to climb, the contacts he left behind will gradually dissipate, and what awaits him will be the tragic ending of the tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.
Either you die, or I die.Power struggles have always been like this.
He has been looking for opportunities, whether he has made great achievements as capital to turn around, or caught Da Xikang's handle—in short, as long as Da Xikang can be dragged down, he has the best chance to regain the throne of the high priest in the Temple of the King of Gods people.
It's a pity that Da Xikang's state of "pure mind and few desires" and "not caring about world affairs" also means that it is difficult for him to be caught wrong; moreover, there have not been any major incidents in Liuchuan forest area in recent years, which is worthy of Shenwang Temple's action.This prevented Lang Yue from waiting for an opportunity.
The appearance of Yao Lin, the "Snake Spirit Messenger", has become an extremely critical opportunity for him to come back.
In fact, he also understands that the appearance of the so-called "Snake Spirit Messenger" itself is shaking the authority of the Temple of God.
For Shenwangmiao, it is really a last resort to wait for him to come forward for income establishment after he has emerged; destroy him directly in the cradle, and let the world know that there are people outside Shenwangmiao who are close to snake spirits in this world. It is the top choice.
It is a pity that although this Yaolin has not yet become famous, he has shown his abilities in front of many people. It is already too late for Shenwang Temple to make him "disappear".
Since it is already a step late to take measures, why not use the other party in reverse?
If this "Snake Spirit Messenger" is recruited, he will have enough capital to compete with Da Xikang, the high priest recognized by the Heavenly Snake Spirit—this is too tempting for Lang Yue personally.
And he has already thought of a way out - first of all, Nanrong and Qiu have hinted to him that this "Yaolin" itself is probably not from Rukawa; A "reasonable explanation" conjectured by the ability is not that Master Tongtian Snake Spirit personally recognized his "identity"; moreover, it is more than enough to handle a boy with a basic appearance with his own breakthrough realm.
In short, if he ascended to the position of high priest one day and wanted to "cross the river and tear down the bridge", it would not be a problem at all, and he didn't need to worry about the other party betraying him.
These reasons contributed to his first negotiation with "Yao Lin".
Although the negotiations were exhausting, he also got tangible gains - Yao Lin was successfully pushed in front of the world by him, and he was tacitly considered to be in the same camp as him; great feat.
This is a good beginning.
But the good start didn't last long.Da Xikang's friendly attitude towards Yao Lin and the way he wins him over are beyond Lang Yue's expectations.
Sure enough, this "Yao Lin" also immediately wavered in his position - at least in Lang Yue's view, the other party's attitude of sincerity and sincerity and the gesture of being close to Nan Rong and Qiu meant this.
But it's not the worst.After all, if there is no recommendation from him, with Nanrong and Qiu's attitude of taking risks and not intending to absorb him into the Temple of the God King, other priests may not dare to take the risk of recommending someone who has offended the high priest's disciple, then " "Yao Lin" also had no chance to receive the same treatment as a priest.
I want to come to this "Yao Lin" after all, I want to read some of his "kindness".
The worst is yet to come.
Lang Yue never expected that the female disciple of the Changling Sword Sect who escaped from the Milong tribe 30 years ago would come back to seek revenge on him!And it's still the way of bombing the dungeon!
This may not only cause Shenwang Temple to fall into a huge public opinion crisis, but also ruin his reputation to the greatest extent - even if those people outside don't know about the activities in the dungeon, the woman named Changling Jianmen's scolding words will stop the moment Everyone in Shenwang Temple heard the truth.
You must know that to become a high priest, one must not only be powerful and be recognized by the Heavenly Snake Spirit, but also be "popular".
Although the ordinary people in Rukawa are easy to fool, and they mainly rely on the support of the big tribe to get to the top; but if he has "stains" on him, then there is no way to "fool" people.
This sudden and unexpected attack almost made Lang Yue fall to the bottom.Obviously many people were involved in the dungeon, but because the woman only named him by name, those people put all the blame on themselves, as if this would allow them to maintain the image of a "noble and holy" priest.
As a result, not to mention Yao Lin, even many old people in his camp began to have different thoughts.This kind of change made him forget about food and drink, so he could only lie dormant for the time being, not daring to make any more noise.
As long as this sacrificial ceremony is successfully concluded and Master Tongtian Snake Spirit does not personally punish him, his actions will still be within the red line, even Da Xikang has no reason to expel him casually.
After that, as time goes by, people will soon forget these recent events, and he will soon turn back to the unattainable priest of the Temple of the King, and start his plan again.
But... since the word "but" is used here, one knows that what happened next is definitely not a good thing for Lang Yue.
The incident at the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes set off alarm bells in his heart.
He is not as naive as those ordinary people who don't know the inside story of the Temple of the King of God-the amount of the holy spring for baptism in the holy spring was wrong, and the "snake spirit messenger" tried his best to turn the tide and save everyone?What a fart!
If the weight of the holy spring for the holy spring baptism is wrong, it will lead to irreparable and terrible consequences-a riot of snakes.This means that the servants who are the Tongtian Snake Spirit cannot be recognized by the same clan of the Tongtian Snake Spirit.
Not to mention Da Xikang, even if Nanrong and Qiu were to preside over it, it would be impossible to make such a low-level fatal mistake.
If so, it must be intentional.
I just don't know whether Da Xikang wants to use this to refute Yao Lin's claim that he is a "snake spirit messenger", or whether he wants to elevate Yao Lin's status as a "snake spirit messenger" again.
But no matter whether he denies Yao Lin and embarrass him as a recommender, or wins over Yao Lin and damages his power - it will be a great disadvantage to Lang Yue.
Unfortunately, Lang Yue had no countermeasures for this.
On the night before the prophecy ceremony, Yao Lin's appearance gave him a reassurance:
"The high priest wanted to win me over, so he 'gained momentum' for me at the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes, so that I could make a big splash on the last day of the sacrificial ceremony and stabilize my position.
"But, firstly, I don't want to work with Nanrong and Qiu, and secondly, I don't like being used as a knife, which is not beneficial at all. If I want a higher status, I have to be careful about my identity. Master Lang must understand that people can order people around casually.
"Tomorrow the High Priest will take action. I have already pretended to cooperate with him, but...if Master Lang has any ideas, you must seize the opportunity..."
At this moment, even if there is only a slight chance, Lang Yue will never let it go.
Although he didn't promise anything to "Yao Lin", he took the magic weapon given to him by the other party that could destroy the ceremony - a small black, inconspicuous ball.
As for whether he needs it or not... then we have to wait until the day of the prophecy ceremony to make a judgment.
But—this "but" has appeared too many times, because things are always beyond Lang Yue's expectations, and they slide into the abyss of despair.
When the phantom of the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit was lifted up on the statue of the Snake King, the soft white light of the gods shone on everyone, but only two people turned red and black in different colors, he finally realized that he had been captured. "Yaolin" lied.
The accident that Da Xikang created at the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes was not at all to "praise" the "Snake Spirit Messenger"!
"The earth's veins are disturbed, and chaos abounds. I can't bear the suffering of the people, and the spirit descends from the sky.
"The catastrophe brought misfortune and stole my holy water. The god king was concealed and hid Yunsheng.
"There is a mirror to discern the Savior. Wash away the filth and see the true self."
Instead, he wants to expose the false identity of the so-called "Snake Spirit Messenger" in front of everyone at all costs!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Da Xikang pointed his staff at Ling Yao and Ling Linhan.
"The disaster star and the savior must be between the two of you. According to the order of Master Tongtian Snake Spirit, I ordered you to go to the holy spring, verify your identity under the holy spring, and eliminate the disaster star, so that I can solve the disaster of Rukawa! "
It is said that between the two of them, since ancient times, "God King" will only be born among priests.Ling Linhan is the latest priest to be recognized, but Ling Yao is only recognized as the "Snake Spirit Messenger" by default.Isn't it clear at a glance who will be the "savior" and who will be the "catastrophe"?
And didn't the prophecy also say that the "Calamity Star" stole the power of the holy spring in order to deceive the world and even the god king himself, and be recognized—isn't this alluding to the scene at the feast of ten thousand snakes yesterday? Was the power of the "Snake Spirit Messenger" triggered by someone stealing the "Holy Spring"?
Lang Yue was so angry that he jumped.This "Yaolin" obviously knew that Da Xikang wanted to expose him, and wanted to drag him into the water—he wanted to use his own strength to fight against Da Xikang!
He was already in a dire situation, how could he accompany a counterfeit to make everyone an enemy!
Fortunately, he did not directly agree to the request of that "Yao Lin", nor did he use the magic weapon to destroy the ceremony.Even if he might be accused of "recommending a disaster star" in the future, it's better than disobeying the deity of the Heavenly Snake Spirit!
Lang Yue was dazzled by this sudden change, and he was only thinking about how to get rid of himself; while others were shocked by the content of the prophecy, hesitating between various guesses - but no one thought about it...
"Master High Priest, these words... are they really a prophecy from God?"
But "Yao Lin" who was the party concerned stood on the high platform with a peaceful face at this moment, even smiling.
"Bold! How dare you question Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit! You thief! Calamity!"
Before Da Xikang could answer, a priest immediately retorted bitterly.
"How do you know that he must be a disaster star! As a priest, how can you talk nonsense in front of the gods!"
Ling Linhan couldn't sit still anymore.Even if he knew that Ling Yao wanted to make a big move today, who knows if the scene at the prophecy ceremony was in his calculations?
Looking at people's astonished and angry eyes, as well as those raised knives, spears and axes, Ling Linhan's brain was spinning crazily.
Could it be that the Tongtian Snake Spirit has discovered the identity of Ling Yao and himself?How to explain?How to turn the tables?
But he couldn't think of any solution for a while.
Could it be that we can only buy time and let Ling Yao escape under the cover of those two seniors?
"Look! It has been said that Lord God King will be deceived! You are still speaking for this guy! He is not a snake spirit messenger at all, he is a liar!"
However, Ling Yao waved his hand:
"I didn't question Master Tongtian Snake Spirit. I just asked, is this really a 'God's Prophecy'? Is the words heard by everyone here today really the original intention of Master Tongtian Snake Spirit?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, there has never been a prophecy ceremony..."
"Just because it never goes wrong doesn't mean it never goes wrong.
"It's not that I haven't heard of the prophecy at the sacrificial ceremony. It's sacred. It's solemn. It's inscrutable because it can't directly intervene in personnel affairs. It has to be interpreted by the priests of the God King Temple to let the public understand its meaning."
Ling Yao looked around calmly, and said unhurriedly,
"But what about today? Everyone present, whether priests or ordinary people, understood what I said today.
"Otherwise, why don't you all show surprise and anger instead of being puzzled?
"Is such a prophecy really the original intention of Master Tongtian Snake Spirit?"
Amidst the contemplative expressions and hesitant gazes of the crowd, Ling Yao suddenly raised his hand and pointed directly at Da Xikang's eyes:
"Or, is it because you are afraid of my existence that you deliberately forged prophecies to slander me?"
boom--!
With the sound of a sudden explosion, the vicinity of the Temple of the God King suddenly shook!
Since losing the position of high priest a few years ago, his life in the Temple of the King of God has been worsening day by day.
