Upon hearing this, the Taoist did not turn around immediately, but hesitantly reminded: "Master, it's getting late. If we go back to the palace, I'm afraid we won't be able to do the rituals in time."
Liu Zhan recalled Ma Shunde's appearance and sneered: "The villain is the quickest to take revenge. This is a serious matter. If I don't apologize today, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain clearly tomorrow. Let's go back!"
Since the real person said this, the Taoist naturally didn't say anything more, and the ox cart quickly turned around and headed towards the palace.
After getting in the car, Liu Zhan lowered the curtain and leaned on the back of the chair. He simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, feeling powerless in his heart.
I was a little hurt when I speculated about fate just now, and when I speculated about Cao Yiyan, I received even more serious backlash!
"Tianji doesn't recognize it in person."
Cao Yiyan has deceived himself for too long. In fact, he did not tell the truth. Not only did he not realize it, but he intentionally or unintentionally ignored his surname. He also taught some Taoism. He was not a simple disciple who became friends with each other.
If I hadn't been instinctively vigilant, teaching the Dharma was a secret matter, and I might not have been able to explain it clearly.
Even now, knowing that something is wrong and the secret has been revealed, there is still a thick fog that blocks Cao Yiyan, making it impossible for people to pry into the true foundation.
This incident gave Liu Zhan a hard time, and he was a little bit resentful.
"It still doesn't work..." During the operation, the originally smooth Qi veins were pressed by a sudden heavy pressure and became more painful.
Liu Zhan knew that this was coming from the suppression within the capital!
Because he has a relationship with Cao Yiyan, even the dragon energy here has begun to vaguely reject him?
This is not a good sign. Liu Zhan can only try to eliminate the negativity surrounding himself. This may be in vain, but he can only do it.
He continued to run with his eyes closed, and suddenly his face turned green and red, and he heard a "pop" sound, and a small mouthful of blood spilled from his lips.
"Even if I go to plead guilty immediately and report the matter, it will still be blamed on the emperor. Isn't it a big disaster? Is the real hope for the king still there?"
Liu Zhan opened his eyes and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
At the same time, Ma Shunde's ox cart continued to move forward, and its next destination was where King Dai was currently.
The emperor ordered the king to take over the cleaning of the shrine again. As the eunuch, Ma Shunde also needed to come and see the current status of the cleaning.
Before he arrived, someone from the Imperial City Department came to report.
"How's the situation?" The bullock cart was temporarily parked on the side of the road. Ma Shunde asked calmly through the curtain of the cart. Although it was not far away, we couldn't fight an unprepared battle.
The Imperial City Si Baihu responded respectfully: "Sir, the King Dai personally led the team and took people to clean up the Crow King Shrine, which is right in front!"
"Oh? Dai Wang personally led the team here and risked his own life. This is his usual style." Ma Shunde sneered. This time, it was hard to tell whether he was praising Dai Wang or mocking Dai Wang.
However, cleaning up the shrine is actually a matter of hurting the Yin Zhao. Countless ghosts, gods and believers have been secretly offended. It is quite rare for a prince to be able to work hard and do it himself.
Even a prince with a bad temper like King Qi used to be very concerned about his image among scholars. If King Dai is doing this now, even if he can get some recognition, he will lose his image of kindness.
In the process of fighting for the heir, the impression of benevolence is a big bonus. King Dai is really a reckless man!
Ma Shunde couldn't help but slander the emperor's grandson in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that King Dai was not a reckless man at all. On the contrary, King Dai was thoughtful, with the dangers of mountains and rivers in his heart, and the strictness of the city in his chest!
The fight for inheritance does not depend on words or even actions, only on results.
In the past few years, although there have been many twists and turns on behalf of the king, everything has achieved the ultimate benefit. Ma Shunde sometimes thinks carefully that the grandson of the emperor who was found from the countryside is better than the prince who grew up in the palace. The emperor and his grandson are even deeper and unfathomable!
This person is not a kind person!
Why did the emperor grant favors so many times? Is it just for the sake of the young prince?
Ma Shunde did not let anyone drive over, but leaned out of the carriage and looked ahead from a distance.
There is a shrine, a large plaque with the words "Edict to build Crow King Temple" and four lanterns hanging under the eaves, which is quite large.
This shrine is called Crow King Shrine, which is actually Crow Sanlang Shrine. It enshrines a god whose prototype is a black crow. It is said that this crow once saved the former Queen Mother and was therefore enshrined.
Similar demon gods are not uncommon in shrines everywhere.
This Crow King is a typical example, and because it has appeared as a saint many times, even if it has not done anything in these years, it can still be regarded as one of the best among the temples in the capital.
However, this shrine is not a good thing.
Before the shrines were cleared, the shrines in the capital were occupied by major forces, and of course they would pay tribute to many people.
This shrine and its host are basically gangsters, and they have done a lot of immoral things. Even I know it, but I just turn a blind eye for the sake of tribute.
Obviously, this time, Dai Wang had no intention of letting it go.
When Ma Shunde looked over, several entrances and exits had been surrounded by armored soldiers.
This shrine, which originally had many believers, was only closed last time, but now it is obviously in trouble.
The host and his whole family were kneeling on one side. Ma Shunde could only look from a distance and could see the cold light on the blades of the nearby armored soldiers.
The door of the temple was wide open, so it was difficult to see what was going on inside from a distance, but Ma Shunde could see the people outside clearly.
Is that... bloody and filthy? He saw someone carrying several buckets of stuff passing by.
Su Ziji didn't look back, knowing that someone was watching him in the distance. Should this person be Ma Shunde?
As Panlong's mental power becomes more and more powerful, as long as he comes into contact with him, he can roughly feel his identity based on his energy. Therefore, he knows that he is the person sent by the emperor to take a look at the situation without looking back.
"Your Majesty, the Crow King Temple was built by the previous dynasty after all, and it can be considered orthodox. Isn't it too much to be so dirty and demolished?" The accompanying Minister of Rites looked at the dog blood brought over and wiped his forehead.
"Master Tian, you are from the Ministry of Rites and are proficient in etiquette. Do you know what obscene sacrifice is?"
"Fornication is indulgence, excess, loss of temperance, and violation of law."
"The so-called obscene sacrifices are those that are not sacrificed but are sacrificed. Sacrifices that are not included in the sacrificial ceremony and are beyond the limit are called obscene sacrifices. Obscene sacrifices are not blessed."
Tian Zhen, the Minister of Rites, still knew this and answered immediately.
"First of all, the Crow King is a different species. Secondly, look at it. It is not only a king, but also a prince. This is a Yuefen sacrifice, and it is already a lewd sacrifice." Su Ziji sneered and squinted. At the shrine.
In the main hall with the door wide open, a statue of a strangely shaped god with wings on his back, wearing a crown, just stood there, staring coldly at the people outside with his godless eyes.
Because the main hall of this great temple is built very high, this statue is also very tall, at least two meters!
He was not sitting on the altar, but standing there with a calm expression, as if he was truly a righteous god!
Huidao only took a closer look and saw that the statue of the god was covered with blood. Even if it was made to look like a real god, it was indeed an evil god!
Hui Dao turned to look at Dai Wang, who shook his head.
