Transcending into a god

Princess Una stood up slowly, stood in front of King Richard's throne, straightened her back, as if she was the king's spokesperson.

"How many of you have received the king's favor? How many of you have lived a comfortable and superior life because of the king's kindness? And you are standing here, watching King Richard being rejected by the dragon god without moving?!" Una Wang Hao's voice was like a sharp sword, cutting through the court that had become numb due to shock.

"Una!" Cass stepped forward, and just about to speak, Princess Una suddenly pointed at Cass, "You! Cass! My noble crown prince of the Canglong Kingdom! Are you also indifferent to the injustice that the gods treated your father?"

Lu Xiu said loudly next to him, "The gods are interfering in the affairs of the world at will, and the gods are challenging the royal family! Even if the father's administration may be wrong, but the contribution of the father to the country and the compassion for the people over the past few decades are obvious to all! The gods cannot Thus hastily decided the life and death of a sovereign."

As soon as Una and Lu Xiu spoke, the nobles also began to sigh.

"Yes! What a merciful monarch King Richard is!"

"Bless the Dragon God! Let's beg the Dragon God for mercy!"

……

"Cass!" Lu Xiu looked at Cass, "It's time for you to make a choice! Whether to defend your father and fulfill your responsibilities as a subject and son, or fight with the entire royal family for the Dragon God's promise of your throne. For the enemy?"

Standing on top of the hall, Cass looked at Lu Xiu and Princess Una, and felt as if he was standing in the center of the swirling vortex.The ministers and nobles on both sides were also involuntarily involved. Even though they had their own will, they had no choice but to have strong external forces.Whether psychologically or emotionally, people will not easily abandon their original path, even if the Dragon God says no.

Since ancient times, when the death knell rings, one of the monarch and the high priest will always survive and the other will die.But now, apart from the High Priest, Teng Wu...

Cass pursed his lips and stood up straight.Whether it's the father or Teng Wu, he doesn't want to lose.The high priest who rang the death knell was persecuting King Richard on the one hand, and on the other hand, was he not persecuting himself? !

There was a commotion in the hall, the nobles whispered to each other, and the ministers looked at each other.Prime Minister Yidan bowed his head in silence for a long time, then suddenly said, "His Royal Highness Lu Xiu, please be patient. If you disrespect the Dragon God so easily before the matter is clarified, you will be punished by heaven."

"Itami!" Lu Xiu's expression changed.

"If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness Lu Xiu has always admired His Majesty the Dragon God. It was the great Dragon God who founded our Canglong Kingdom, so how could the god have the heart to destroy King Richard who loyally followed him?" Yidan's slow voice gave Brings peace to those who are in turmoil.

Itami smiled at Cass, "Your Highness, the high priest rang the death knell, and the priest was sent by the high priest. I think..."

Cass understood, "I think it's better to ask the high priest to come and explain clearly in person." After speaking, Cass turned to Una, "Princess Una, please take care of your father's bedroom. At this time, there are people in the hall Men who worry about their country are enough."

Una frowned, Prime Minister Itami had already spoken, "Please hurry back, Your Highness."

Cass glanced at Una and Lu Xiu coldly, reached out and grabbed the priest unceremoniously, "Let's go! Take me to the high priest!"

"You..." The young priest who was treated rudely staggered, and just about to get angry when he saw Cass' flaming eyes, he stopped talking immediately.Seeing Cass acting like this, the nobles and ministers in the court who were devoted to King Richard felt a little relieved, as if this was a little justice for King Richard.

Cass rudely dragged the priest out of the hall. Since he dared to violate Teng Wu's will, he did not deserve the preferential treatment that the priest deserved.

Despite Andre's repeated persuasion, Teng Wu still insisted on going his own way.

"Your Highness said that the death knell will cause panic among the common people and nobles. At this time, it is safer to wait in the mansion." Andre followed behind Teng Wu, muttering, "Think twice, Your Majesty! Your Majesty... "

Teng Wu, who was walking in front, ignored it, and Wuyang naturally followed. Dina and Kuqi looked at each other, and each pulled a horse to follow. Teng Wu glanced back at the group including himself, and there was no objection. "Ha!" With a loud sound, Emma seemed to feel Teng Wu's anxiety, and ran away.Lang Dun chased to Teng Wu's side, followed by Wuyang and the other three.

When Emma ran steadily to the top of Shenshan, Teng Wu found that the priests were equally afraid of the death knell.Priests gathered in twos and threes in the square in front of the temple. They lowered their heads and exchanged whispers with bewildered expressions on their faces.Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Qi Qi looked at Teng Wu and the others, and immediately fell to their knees."Your Majesty!" from a scholarly family

"God!"

Teng Wu walked up to them along with Emma, ​​looking down at the low back, "Where's the high priest?"

The priests kneeling together lowered their heads and looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Teng Wu waved his scepter, and there was a sound of wind on the head of the scepter, "Let me ask again, where is the high priest?"

Perhaps it was the anger exuding from Teng San that made people dare not look up, and everyone shrank their shoulders.A priest crawled out a few steps with hands and feet, and said in a trembling voice, "The high priest ordered all the priests not to enter the temple. Only a few high priests in charge are in the temple..."

Teng Wu looked at the priests in Fudi, and said coldly, "Then you can enjoy the scenery here!" After speaking, he rode his horse to the door, jumped off the horse, and walked in with the scepter.

The front hall where the Dragon God's artifact was enshrined was empty, and the Jialan Hall after that was also empty. The group didn't see several great priests sitting on the ground until the back hall where the Dragon God's crystal coffin was placed, pinching the gods with their hands, Mouth silently.

Wuyang ran forward, "What are you doing? Where's the high priest?"

"Master Wuyang!" The great priests looked at Wuyang in surprise, and when their eyes fell on Teng Wu, they immediately changed from sitting to kneeling.

"Your Majesty! Lord Wuyang! The high priest is in his own room." A priest replied.

"Why is the death knell ringing?" Wuyang asked again.

"We also heard the death knell all of a sudden, and it was the high priest himself who rang it." The high priests looked at each other, recalling the scene when they heard the death knell not long ago and saw the high priest staggering down from the bell tower, feeling uneasy in their hearts .

"Lead the way!" Teng Wu said to Dina and Kuqi without talking nonsense, "You wait here."

"Yes!" Wu Yang quickly led a few people into the apse, "The high priest's residence is next to His Majesty's bedroom."

Teng Wu and his party passed by the famous crystal coffin, Teng Wu didn't even look at it, Wu Yang had already turned a blind eye to it, only Lang Dun went forward, stretched out his hand to caress the edge of the crystal coffin, closed his eyes, as if he was feeling , also aftertaste.

This is a side hall in the Dragon God's bedroom. Wu Yang took Teng Wu to stand in front of a door, knocked on the door, "High Priest? High Priest?"

After a pause of a second or two, there was no movement inside. Teng Wu lifted his foot impatiently and kicked the door open. With a "click", half of the door was hanging on the hinges. Teng Wu added another kick, and the other half The door fell completely to the ground.

Slight dust swayed, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, one could clearly see tiny dust flying in the light. Behind the dust was the high priest sitting on a chair.

Wu Yang and Teng Wu didn't even knock and kick the door to surprise the high priest. He turned his head, looked at Teng Wu, and suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, you are late."

Teng Wu stepped into the room, looked left and right, and a very simple bedroom appeared in front of him.In addition to the bed, there is an altar table for offerings, a few low cabinets for clothes in the corner, and a table by the window.The high priest was sitting in front of the altar, and there was a chair in the middle of the room, which seemed awkward no matter how you looked at it.Teng Wu looked at the table, but there was nothing.

"When do you think I should come?" Teng Wu walked over, pulled a chair beside the high priest, and sat down.Wuyang saw this unusual scene and stood at the door at a loss.A hand patted his shoulder lightly, and when he turned around, it was the Duke of Langton.

The High Priest thinks, "You should have come when the death knell tolled, or, earlier, on the first day of Your Majesty's death, the first day I saw Your Majesty. Come and ask me, why... "

"Why do you disregard God's will?" Teng Wu answered, "Why do you use me over and over again?"

The high priest turned to look at Teng Wu, "Yes, I'm waiting for you to ask me why, and I'm waiting for you to punish me for my blasphemy."

Teng Wu looked at the high priest, "I know why you are a woman."

The high priest was slightly surprised, but it was expected.He laughed "hehe", "Your Majesty is a god, so why don't you know?"

"There are so many things I don't know! I don't know that you are scheming, I don't know if Cass is pretending to be stupid, and I don't know what good it is for you to provoke a battle between the gods and the kingship?" Teng Wu frowned slightly Frowning, squinting at the high priest, "What exactly do you want? King Richard is already terminally ill, wait a little longer, the throne still belongs to Cass, why are you making such a fuss?"

"I have to do this." The high priest's voice was tired, "Because Cass is not the choice of the gods."

Teng Wu sneered, "Hehe, I know, he is your choice, the high priest."

The high priest sighed, raised his hand and pressed down on the edge of the altar, and only after hearing a "click" did Teng Wu realize that it was a mechanism.There was a slight sound on the altar, and something slowly rose from below, which looked like a small statue.When the little portrait was completely still, Teng Wu could see that there was a plain-clothed woman in the painting, wearing a flowing skirt and loose long hair, looking at him with a smile.

This is... Queen Dulan?Teng Wu could tell that the beautiful facial features were the same person, but it was definitely not the appearance after becoming a queen, it was more like a portrait of an aristocratic woman playing at home before she got married.

"Her son should be the master of this country, Your Majesty!" the high priest murmured, "I swear in her blood that her son will grow up safely and His Royal Highness Cass will get what he deserves." Glory. However, Cass is not God's choice, Your Majesty, what should I do at this time?"

Teng Wu said sarcastically, "So you made tricks and let the smoke of the incense float to Cass; so you struck the death knell without authorization and tied me and Cass tightly together. By the way, did you prophesy Cass? Will ascend to the throne? Missing this sentence, maybe all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"You forced me, Your Majesty." The high priest looked at Teng Wu, "I thought you would understand that Cass is the best heir to the kingdom if you live in the Karen Mansion, but you don't. Una and Luxiu have already Picking up the knife, but you are watching with cold eyes. Lucius is in control of the army, Your Majesty, those sea robbers can become soldiers on land at any time, going north and south along the long coastline, threatening Cass all the time, But His Majesty is indifferent."

The high priest stood up and knelt tremblingly in front of Teng Wu, "Your Majesty! I am willing to accept the punishment of the gods, but Cass..."

Seeing the high priest's pleading expression, Teng Wu leaned over slightly, "It's not just these, my high priest, you have your own selfishness. What is it, say it!"

The high priest looked at Teng Wu straight into his dark eyes, took a deep breath, "I want revenge."

Teng Wuyi frowned, "Revenge?"

"King Richard is not worthy of being favored by the dragon god, and his portrait is not worthy of being hung next to Queen Duran. His reputation should be rejected by the world!" Every word the high priest said was full of hatred , "I must see King Richard die without any face before I die!"

Teng Wu frowned suspiciously, only to hear Langton say next to him, "Any monarch who is rejected by the dragon god cannot be buried in the royal cemetery after death. As for the portraits, probably no one wants to mourn. Hey! And noble, death like dung, this is the greatest insult to a monarch."

As he spoke, Langdon smiled, "Am I right? Cass?"
