The fourth prince, Zhao Yin, although he was a direct descendant, was not favored by his father, Emperor Min, because he had a strict personality and was ruthless in his work.
Di Min's evaluation of him was 'mean and unkind, not like his father'
The four words "not like his father" basically eliminated the possibility of him inheriting the throne of emperor, but Zhao Yin was also unconventional.
Although his talent is not at the top of the class, when he was practicing in the secret place of the royal family, he caught the attention of his long-dead ancestor. The comment he received was: "Although he is not like his father, he is like his ancestor!"
Well, this is really an embarrassing comment, and it really doesn't give Di Min any face.
But when facing this ancestor, Di Min did not dare to lose face, and silently added Zhao Yin to the "candidate list for the Human Emperor".
Of course, with such qualifications, he would naturally receive "key care", and Di Min often used his son as a "gun".
All important, difficult, and offensive things were left to Zhao Yin. Although he did a good job, he really offended many people.
However, Di Min is a qualified emperor after all. The older he gets, the more clearly he sees things. As for the 'mess' he left behind, no one except this 'mean' fourth son can stand up.
This led to the subsequent series of operations of joining forces with the Galaxy Sword Sect to move down the edict of passing the throne and the jade seal of passing the country.
However, although his idea was good, after his death, everything was out of his control.
In other words, including the time when he invaded Xijing, Zhao Yin was only one step away from the position of co-leader of the human race at least twice.
But fate likes to play tricks on him, tricking him once and again...
To put it nicely, this person is ‘unlucky’; to put it worse, he is an unlucky guy!
As for the ancestor, although his prestige is high, his restrictions are even greater. As long as the position of Human Emperor is not out of Zhao's hands, he will never interfere.
This is a rule he set himself, and it is also the result of the struggle and compromise between many major forces.
Therefore, no matter how bad the situation was, Zhao Yin never thought of disturbing this person.
But now, he not only disturbed him, but also openly proposed to let his ancestors help him seize the throne of the Human Emperor.
This is not an attempt to push the envelope, but an insult to the face.
This was also the reason why the ancestor looked so ugly, but Zhao Yin didn't panic at all.
He spoke eloquently, telling the inspecting immortal official to find him, and clearly explained what he saw and heard in the heavenly court, and the subsequent conversation.
For such old monsters, he never thought of deception, and even stated it as plainly as possible, with almost no personal touch.
As for this ancestor?
He listened, listened, just listened, his attitude at first was extremely casual.
He has seen too many conspiracies and intrigues in his life, and people's hearts are full of ghosts. He only thinks that his descendants have been deceived by others, or have been possessed by some kind of magical power that distorts the mind.
In a sense, his guess was correct, until he asked out of curiosity the specific content of the method of conferring gods...
Then, everything was different!
"Sacred fire? It can burn out the 'impurities' in the essence and spirit, and shape all the incense and aspiration into a unified standard. Is that so? Can it be done like this? How can it still be done like this?"
"Automatic feedback, collection of wish power, gift of divine magic, repayment of wishes, feedback method...ahhhhh, if this is the case, if this is the case, there will not be much burden on the ghosts and gods!
This godhead, the godhead must be so sophisticated, complex, and magnificent.
This is incredible, incredible..."
"Purifying the power of incense and wishing, divided by rank and authority, priesthood, priesthood, yes, yes, mountain god, land, river god and door god.
In this case, the final flaw in the way of ghosts and gods will be gone, gone!
Moreover, these ghosts and gods have to be busy in order to make incense and make wishes. They have to be busy for mortals. This thing, this thing is very good, very good, and the purpose has been achieved. "
"This is Shinto, the real Shinto!
But why? Why didn't I think of that back then? Why wasn't Heaven born back then? Why doesn’t anyone teach me this divine way?
If this were the case, it would never have been like this back then, and the Daxuan Dynasty would not have been like this, it would not have been like this! "
Zhao Yin had a deep understanding of how terrible the mad ancestor must be. As he dictated the secret scroll of the method of conferring gods, it became obvious that the old man was not normal.
What if there is anyone else in this world who has studied the ways of ghosts and gods?
So besides Mo Chengjun, this person is the first person. As a promoter, he caused disasters to ghosts and gods, and he lost his reputation for a lifetime.
He may not be able to come up with a solution, but no one knows the flaws and problems of the way of ghosts and gods better than him.
And it was because of his 'profound knowledge' that he could appreciate the aura of wisdom radiating between the lines of the 'Method of Conferring Gods'.
In the bronze mirror, in the deep underground palace, an old man who couldn't be any older was sometimes pulling his few hair, sometimes jumping up and down crazily, sometimes crawling on the ground writing and drawing, muttering calculations, sometimes Pasted on the bronze mirror, it seems to go directly through...
Even though Zhao Yin is well-informed, he has never seen such an ancestor. It is really too much!
As for the final shadow of the secret guard behind him, he fell down prostrate to the ground again, not daring to raise his head at all.
He was deeply afraid of being silenced because he saw the disgraceful side of a certain ancestor...
Although the secret record of the method of conferring gods was thick, when he finally finished dictating it, the old man calmed down.
He didn't look at Zhao Yin, he just sat there, his eyes flickering, as if he was trapped in his own world.
A silent atmosphere filled the air, and no one on either side of the bronze mirror spoke for a long time. It was not until the inspiration to support the spell was somewhat insufficient, and the bronze mirror began to flicker erratically, that the man in black remembered to cast the spell steadily.
Although this movement was not big, the fluctuation of his intelligence finally alarmed the old ancestor, and his cloudy eyes instantly lit up, looking deep and wise.
He raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at Zhao Yin, and asked, "Has this happened for more than half a month?"
"yes."
"So, you've thought about it carefully?"
"nature."
Zhao Yin nodded with a serious expression: "Unless I have made up my mind, I would not dare to disturb my ancestor's cultivation."
The old man regained his composure again, his eyes flashed, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "Since you have thought about it, let's talk about it.
Now, I'd love to hear how you're going to convince me? "
"Ancestor, I also have a question!"
Zhao Yin calmly raised a finger: "How does this method of conferring gods compare to the method of ghosts and gods?"
The old man murmured for a moment and then said: "Of course they are different."
Zhao Yin asked: "If I practice this method, can I follow the path of Shinto?"
"In terms of details, I still need to study it in depth..."
The old man spoke very cautiously, but still agreed: "But based on my experience, the flaws of this way of ghosts and gods have basically been solved!"
"good!"
Zhao Yin clapped his hands and said: "This is the prerequisite. As long as this method of conferring gods can be realized, then there will be a follow-up possibility.
However, our ancestors always said: Before you think about victory, think about defeat first!
Let’s analyze the worst case scenario. If Heaven is a group of liars, if what the inspecting immortal officials say is false, if everything is a lie, if they have ulterior motives...
But as long as this method of conferring gods is true and can be achieved, isn't that what you wanted to achieve back then?
Besides the Immortal Way, we need another force that can compete with them, so that the dynasty can be stable.
As long as this ultimate goal is achieved, isn't everything acceptable? "
"But I failed back then!"
"That is not a crime of war, but an incomplete system of ghosts and gods. What if your ancestor was promoting this Shinto system back then? Is the Daxuan Dynasty different now?"
Saying this, Zhao Yin added: "Now, although our Zhao family has chosen to bind to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, my ancestor, you also know that it is a sect after all.
It's a sect, it's immortality, it's freedom, it's freedom, it's impossible to bow to the imperial power no matter what.
Therefore, no matter how many benefits we give, in the end, all we encounter is betrayal!
After so many years, three of the eight Immortal Sects have been replaced, but the Shenxiao Dao Sect is still just the Shenxiao Dao Sect. That's all, can't you tell? "
"You are right!"
The old man finally nodded slowly, as if in approval, but then asked: "Is that all?"
"There is another situation, that is, this Heavenly Court has planted disasters in this method of conferring gods. I would like to ask my ancestors to take a closer look at this point."
Having said this, he even flattered me: "I guess with your understanding of the ways of ghosts and gods, you can find out what's wrong with it."
"hehe!"
The old man smiled. Although there was not much warmth in his smile, it seemed to express a certain attitude.
Then, he suddenly looked serious and said, "Xiao Si?"
"Ancestor, what are your orders?"
"Give me a copy of the secret volume of the method of conferring the gods. Be sure not to lose even a word."
"yes!"
"Ender?"
Turning his eyes, the old man looked at the man in black again: "Now, you have two things to do. First, send the secret scroll to me as quickly as possible. I allow you to use the void movement formation."
"yes!"
"Second, from now on, your team should follow Xiaosi, listen to his orders, and protect him.
If he is fine, you will be fine; but if he hurts a hair, you must die before him. "
The man in black was shaken and raised his head suddenly, his exposed eyes filled with disbelief.
But under the majestic gaze of the old man, he lowered his head and said loudly: "Ender, follow your orders!"
"Then let's do this, let's do this for now..."
After a pause, the old man looked at Zhao Yin and made a promise: "If everything is true, I will help you!"
Zhao Yin was ecstatic, but still tried hard to maintain calm, saying: "Then I'll wait for news from our ancestors!"
When all the aura of the spell dissipated, the whole room returned to normal, but Zhao Yin no longer felt sleepy.
He paced back and forth in the room, but still couldn't calm his restless heart. Until finally, he came to the desk, picked up a pen and began to write down the method of conferring gods.
As for the secret guard, he had long since lost his initial arrogance and was as respectful to his new master as he wanted.
After this night, nothing seemed to have changed. Zhao Yin was still working as he should and giving memorials.
However, I don’t know when a group of powerful secret guards appeared by his side. Not only did they take over his guard work, they even used some method to obscure the Sword Fu Sect and stay with him along with other forces. The minds of those 'masters'.
On the surface, they are still the same as before, but secretly, they have long lost their role of monitoring.
And what about Zhao Yin?
He did not wait silently for his ancestor's decision, but made arrangements on his own.
In fact, from the day he made up his mind, he would never back down. His ancestors were the help he sought, but he was not the only one.
During this time, he did two things.
First, he started the construction project of his own mausoleum, chose a mountain outside Panlong City as his cemetery, and recruited 100,000 civilians to start the construction.
This is actually a common thing. It is also common for ancient emperors to build mausoleums for themselves from the moment they ascend the throne until their death.
Zhao Yin's move is nothing. The only thing worth mentioning is that the construction period is relatively tight, and the people sent out are also Zhao Yin's cronies.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but that mountain has a name – Mount Tai!
The second thing is Zhao Yin's sixtieth birthday.
Although in the world of immortality, sixty years old is nothing, but as a human emperor, well, one of the candidates for the human emperor, his birthday is qualified to be a big deal.
It's just that in previous years, Zhao Yin never liked extravagance and waste, but this time, he was planning to have a Thousand Old Man's Banquet.
That is to say, he is looking for those people with high moral character and respect in the villages, towns and cities to come to Jiuquan City to congratulate him.
To be honest, when these two decrees were issued, many ministers raised objections and felt that Yunzhou today was not suitable for "big wars".
But if he had listened to others' advice, he would no longer be Zhao Yin. The result of the enforcement was that all the government offices were extremely busy for a while.
Of course, this kind of behavior would naturally attract people's attention, but after a little investigation, nothing wrong was found. He just thought it was his last act of madness.
Mo Chengjun, who was wandering around Jiuquan City, smiled knowingly after hearing the news.
Without further delay, he simply packed up his belongings and set off on the four-eared donkey demon.
It's over now, it's time to go to the next stop.
I want to hold on, hold on...
