Chapter 472 Punishment(1/2)
It's like deciding whether to eat dried tofu tonight or vegetables.
Within a few words, I decided to do so.
So simple, so... understatement.
Even Qin Zicang and Huang He did not fully react. Jiangnan, who was originally alone, jumped for dozens of levels and rode on their heads.
——Although one of the nine palace masters of the Earth Palace and the other is the Holy Army Master of the Human Palace, he also holds great power.
But to be honest, their identities are comparable to the seven war immortals in the Heavenly Palace, but they are one end lower than the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, this is not a problem, and Qin Zicang and Huang He are not very passionate about power.
The problem is... this is not in line with the rules!
From the founding of Ligong to the present, for thousands of years, where has the Lord of the Palace been a young child under a hundred years old?
Not only that, he was also an outsider - Li Gong Shang and Xia, and he didn't even know that there was a person like Jiangnan a year ago.
But Li Wang Jin said all his words, so how could he get their words?
“That’s great.”
Li Wang narrowed his eyes, flipped his wrist, took out a blue-gray stone order and handed it to Jiangnan, "This is Xinyue's general palace order. You can take it back to the earth world. Wait for me to get the Taoist throne, fill the cracks in the burial sea, and then grant you a title."
Jiangnan took it and saw that the token was less than one foot long, shaped like a fish belly, with a thick surface, and a simple cloud pattern carved all over the body, exuding an extremely ancient aura, as if it had experienced endless years of vicissitudes.
On the front of the stone ruler, a character "天" that is naturally produced by magical axe is suddenly on it!
Just looking at Jiangnan, it felt like a majestic sky was hanging over the head, majestic and solemn!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Nan bowed and nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Wang said again, "There is another thing to bother you--I am in seclusion this time, from a few months to a few years, but Xin Yue has entered the cycle of reincarnation and is a human being again. Soon after, if I have not left the seclusion, I hope you will go to the world to bring him back."
At that moment, Jiang Nan's face became weird.
Although his relationship with King Li may be quite good, he had a relationship with Fairy Xin Yue. At that time, the woman had a murderous intention to kill him, and Jiang Nan was finally planning to kill her with a nail-headed seven arrows.
But after thinking about it, he didn't say much, and agreed and left.
So, in the huge Li Palace, only King Li and two immortals were left.
"Your Majesty, is this... not suitable?" Qin Zicang also thought of going with Jiangnan, and did not understand why Li Wang insisted on Jiangnan to take over Fairy Xin Yue who was reincarnated.
"No, this is the effect I want." Li Wang shook his head slowly, "Xin Yue and him are always a thorn between Li Palace and Jiangnan. I hope that this reincarnation of Xin Yue can completely eliminate his grudges with Li Palace."
So, since King Li said that, the two immortals stopped talking.
"What? Judging from your appearance, you still seem to be puzzled?"
King Li walked to the ancient coffin and looked at the two of them, "Do you think I shouldn't have the position of the General Hall of the Heavens in Jiangnan?"
After hearing this, Qin Zicang and Huang He looked at each other. The former took a step forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, your decision is naturally considered, but I am stupid - I still think that Jiangnan came to Ligong too short and had unclear details, so I should not immediately be entrusted with such an important task..."
"Important responsibilities?" After hearing this, King Li's eyes showed a strange look, "You all think this is an important task?"
Qin Zicang and Huang He were stunned.
They suddenly felt that they couldn't understand what King Li was saying.
——One of the main halls of the three halls of Li Palace in charge of Li Dao, one person is less than ten thousand people, is this not an important task?
"The location of the General Palace of Heaven is just an excessive amount." King Li shook his head, "What if I said--maybe he will become the king one day?"
At that moment, it was like a thunder thunder!
Qin Zicang and Huang He's heads were buzzing!
"Your Majesty! What are you talking about?!"
"Your Majesty, this is not something you can joke around!"
At this moment, they no longer cared about the etiquette and spoke anxiously!
"joke?"
Li Wang's eyes were clear, but there was no sign of being confused. "No, I am serious - whether Jiangnan is qualified to be the king of Li Dao, what you say does not count, and what I say does not count."
He pointed to the ancient coffin behind him, "It's up to you."
——Daotong.
The entire Li Dao system is stored in the coffin behind King Li.
"What... what do you mean?" Huang He opened his mouth and murmured.
King Li waved his hand, "You have seen the reincarnation of the previous path of heaven?"
The two nodded.
"Then do you two think that at that time, I had the talent to practice Taoism?" King Li continued to ask.
Qin Zicang and Huang He looked at each other and bowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty is unparalleled in the world, no one can match..."
"All right, let's get it."
King Li rubbed his ears and interrupted the two of them, "There is no need to say those polite words. As you can see - when I was in the South, I was not only mediocre in practicing Taoism, but only almost nothing. But this is what I have become a king of Taoism. Why do you think it is?"
The two immediately shook their heads like rattles - even if they had guessed in their hearts, they would not dare to say it in person.
"Because, Taoism."
Li Wang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"In that era, not only me, not only the southern country, not only the human race in the world suffered from the ancient immortal disaster for a long time. Even the entire Cangmang Lidao was destroyed, extracted, and devoured their luck."
"So, the Taoist tradition of this world finally came into being."
"And then, I made the choice to sacrifice my queen and princess to preserve the southern country. So, under the hatred of ancient immortals and the great righteousness of writing a sad truth, Taoism recognized me."
He looked at the two immortals and spoke word by word, "It's not that I chose the Taoist dynasty, but the Taoist dynasty... I chose me."
After the words came, Qin Zicang and Huang He looked at each other speechlessly.
After a long time, Qin Zicang smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean... the current Taoist dynasty also chose Jiangnan?"
“That’s exactly that.”
Li Wang nodded slightly, "Maybe it was because he made a better and more perfect choice in my reincarnation. Li Daotong, which remained in my obsession, recognized him."
He pointed to the ancient coffin behind him, "From the beginning of this Dali Hall, I can feel the Taoist tradition of Li Dao. Except for me, I can feel that no one can control it except me. But now, there is one more person."
“——Jiangnan.”
So, the ins and outs of everything were revealed along with the ancient stories.
Qin Zicang and Huang He just understood the intention of King Li to establish Jiangnan as the General Palace of Heaven.
——Since it is the choice of Taoism, there will be no mistakes.
Who else can know more about whether the person it chooses to be harmful to the Taoist Li Dao than the Taoist Orthodox itself?
But the problem is.
"Then... what about you, Your Majesty?" Huang He asked.
——There is only one Taoist sect, but there are two people who are selected now.
If Jiangnan really becomes the king of the Tao, what about Nanhao? Will he pick chrysanthemums in the melon field after retirement?
"I just said that I had the plan to cultivate Jiangnan as the king." King Li waved his hand, "and it was not immediately necessary to pass on the throne and Taoist tradition to him. It was just... make some preparations.
After a pause, he looked at the vast dark zenith, "After all, who knows whether I can return safely in the expedition to the main road ditch?"
Just like the enlightenment, Qin Zicang and Huang He finally understood what he meant - Your Majesty, this is planning ahead.
After a long time, Qin Zicang spoke bitterly, "Your Majesty, do you have to go?"
"certainly."
Li Wang did not hesitate at all.
"Revenge is something that must not be given up."
"For this reason, I am I, not others."
So, silence.
The two immortals lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, you guys go up too." Finally, Li Wang waved his hand, "Let me be left alone here."
After he finished speaking, he reached out to slap the ancient coffin!
In an instant, the sky shook and the earth moved!
The coffin that had not been opened for thousands of years slowly opened with the dull friction of iron and stones.
The vast and majestic atmosphere penetrates from it!
Qin Zicang and Huang He bowed and knelt down, then turned into flowing light and escaped from the Dali Palace and returned to the earthly world.
King Li looked into the chaotic and hazy coffin, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes and slowly stepped in.
To be continued...
