Dragon soul of the fallen dragon king

Xiang Liu wanted to save them.

Want to save them before causing greater death.

However, he could not disobey the Jade Emperor's order, otherwise... it would not be as simple as the plague.

The majesty of heaven cannot be trampled upon by anyone.

Could it be... is this young man destined to die?

"stop!"

Just as Xiang Liu was thinking, Zhu Yin beside him took a step forward, grabbed the boy's arm, and pulled him towards him, "Even if you burn him to death, the gods still don't know about it without a priest! "

"Priest?" The man looked at the boy and pointed to his head, "Isn't he?"

Zhu Yin frowned when he heard the words, did he want the young man to invite the gods first, and then jump into the fire pit by himself?How cruel are the people here? !

But you can't just leave it alone!

"Although I don't know what you have done to offend the gods, even if you use living people as sacrifices, it won't work!"

"How do you know! If one doesn't work, we'll use two!" The villagers seemed to believe that using human sacrifices could appease the gods, and this idea made Zhuyin very angry.

Using a living person, even a child as a sacrifice, what do they think of human life? !

"Anyway, I won't let you burn this child to death!" Zhuyin said without giving in.

At this moment, Xiang Liu tugged at Zhu Yin's clothes, and whispered in his ear, "Don't meddle."

"What did you say?" Zhu Yin looked at Xiang Liu in disbelief, did he intend to care?Was he indifferent to seeing an innocent teenager about to be burned to death?

"This is punishment." Xiang Liu said calmly.

"Whoever punishes him, I will save this young man!" It turned out that he was so cold, Zhu Yin squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Liu, if this is his true face as a "violent god", then he really learned something!

Then, Zhuyin looked at the man again and said, "I will find a way to cure your plague, so it doesn't matter if you don't have to burn him to death."

"What did you say? Do you have a solution?" The man immediately wavered when he heard that their plague could be cured. His eyes were full of expectation, but he looked at Zhuyin suspiciously, "Do you really have a solution?"

"Of course." Zhu Yin said confidently, and then looked around, "At noon today, you sacrifice to the gods, and then there will be gods to cure your plague."

The man looked at the boy with some hesitation, and then looked at the surrounding villagers. It would be best if the gods would come to cure the plague as he said. If not, it would not be too late to burn the boy to death at that time.Thinking of this, the man nodded, "OK."

The villagers who have not been seriously infected by the plague, no matter if they are old people, women, or children, as long as they are active, they are helping to prepare the offerings for worshiping the gods, the table and other practical things. They even knelt on the ground early. Before the altar, pray that the gods can see their sincerity.

At noon, the worship ceremony officially began.

The priest stood on the stage and recited the sacrificial speech, while the villagers still knelt on the ground with their heads on the ground, praying devoutly to the gods to rescue them.

After the long sacrificial speech was finished, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and the wind was strong. The villagers didn't know what happened. They thought that the young priest had done something to anger the gods again. They looked at him in a panic. Sky, is the god going to give them a bigger punishment?They thought anxiously.

Then, bean-sized raindrops fell and hit the villagers. The young man standing on the stage became even more desperate. He looked at the adults who were drenched by the rain, and the tears mixed with the raindrops fell to the ground. , there is no god, come to save them...it must be because...the sacrifice is not his relationship.

The young man was thinking sadly, however, the villagers under the altar suddenly cried out in surprise: "Okay...Okay! The black spots are gone!!"

"Yeah yeah! Saved! We're saved!!!"

"It must be that the gods saw our piety, so they forgave us!!"

"And this rain...could it be the mercy of His Majesty the Dragon King?"

"Ah, thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King!"

The Dragon King can swallow clouds and fog, and give rain to bring blessings. The villagers believed in this sentence even more. They all knelt down and thanked His Majesty the Dragon King for his mercy and gifts.

The plague in Zhengming Village was cured, and the boy once again gained the proper status of a priest in Zhengming Village.

Zhu Yin looked at Xiang Liu proudly, and said, "I just said I would save that boy, and they are all thanking you, don't you want to thank me too?"

That rain did not fall from Xiangliu, but from Zhuyin.

"Even if it is punishment, many people have died. It has already played the role of punishment, hasn't it? Have you seen how grateful they are? They will definitely believe in the gods devoutly in the future."

Xiang Liu didn't speak, just watched quietly, Zhu Yin didn't know the consequences of doing so, he was just happy that he saved a village of people, Xiang Liu was also happy, because Zhu Yin did Things he couldn't do, because Zhuyin saved the person he wanted to save.

Then, as a reward, let him do it happily. The consequences of this matter can be borne by him alone.

Xiang Liu raised his head slightly, looking at the blue sky after the heavy rain, the Jade Emperor should have known about it, so... should he take the initiative to accept the crime?

"His Majesty the Dragon King, the Jade Emperor ordered that the Dragon King Xiangliu go to the Lingxiao Palace to discuss matters."

Looking at the herald who suddenly appeared, Xiang Liu secretly sighed, it seemed that it was too late.

"Well, I see." Xiang Liu turned around and went to the Lingxiao Palace with the herald, while Zhuyin was behind Xiang Liu, imitating the tone of the villagers and said to him: "Your Majesty the Dragon King, go and come back quickly." oh!"

Xiang Liu came to the Lingxiao Palace again, this time different from the last time, there were many immortals lined up on both sides of the Lingxiao Palace, and they looked at Xiang Liu who walked in with serious expressions.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Xiang Liu knelt on one knee and said.

"Xiang Liu, the villagers of Zhengming Village disrespect the gods, and I sent you down to punish them, why did you rain to save them?" The Jade Emperor sat on the throne, looking at Xiang Liu with displeasure and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, the villagers of Zhengming Village did not intend to offend the gods, but there was a reason for the incident."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Yes." Xiang Liu replied, and then began to talk about the cause and effect that he had learned from the young priest: "The priest of Zhengming Village died of illness two months ago, and the priest's work was determined by him. However, on the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, when the priest was reciting the sacrificial oration, two monsters suddenly appeared in front of him. Since he had never seen them before, he was frightened and panicked, and made a big mistake.”

"However, there is no mention of monsters in the memorial sent by the local land god." The Jade Emperor picked up the memorial and said to Xiangliu: "You can't conclude that there are monsters based on mere words of mortals. Of course, I will not allow monsters to make trouble in the mortal world, and I will leave the matter of monsters to the local land gods to investigate." The Jade Emperor changed the subject and asked, "Even if there is a reason for the incident, why didn't you report it to me first? Instead, it rains privately?"

"Because the villagers thought that the plague was caused by priests, and they wanted to burn their only priest to death. If this is the case, then Zhengming Village will no longer be able to hold rituals to worship heaven." Xiang Liu replied in this way, although not He rains, but it is true. For Zhengming Village, which has only one priest, he is an indispensable person for worshiping the sky. Whether it is worshiping the sky, worshiping the gods, or praying for blessings, the priest is inseparable.

"That being said, Xiangliu, you also disobeyed my will. Are you guilty?" Tianwei cannot be violated, and the Jade Emperor wants to maintain the order of the heaven, so there is no way to convict Xiangliu.

Xiang Liu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I disregarded His Majesty's will to save people by raining rain privately, and offended His Majesty's power of heaven. I am guilty, but regarding the matter of Zhengming Village, I beg Your Majesty to give them a chance to reform. The crime committed, I am willing to bear it together."

As soon as Xiang Liu's words fell, the Lingxiao Palace was full of sighs, because they had never seen Xiang Liu plead for mortals. He can keep his face unchanged, which is why he is called the "fierce god", but today he seems to be a different person.

"Okay, I will punish you to guard the cold cave for three months." The Jade Emperor said, just this sentence made all the gods on the two sides change their expressions, and they looked at Xiangliu sympathetically.

The so-called cold cave is a naturally formed ice cave in the extreme north. The ice cave is made of ice from the inside to the outside. To the cold that is different from winter, if you walk within ten miles, your whole body will be frozen due to the irresistible cold. Even a god will feel cold if you stay in the cold cave for a day. If you don't freeze to death, your whole body will be numb and stiff. If you can't slow down any longer, you will be deprived of your immortality. This is a very severe punishment.

It is equivalent to abolishing Xiangliu.

"I obey the order." However, Xiang Liu accepted the order without changing his face.
