Chapter 288: Lord Wang
"It is inevitable that mortals will worship you, but now is not the time. The spirit of the ring said righteously: "I want to have more than 10,000 immortals in the hands of the old master, and the power of faith in the breath is ten million times that of yours." Don't feel thin-skinned, have you seen the statues of the ancestors of those immortal cultivation sects? Those are all used to absorb the power of faith. However, monks are better than ordinary people, because ordinary people only have the power of faith once, and if they give it, they will be gone. Monks are a hundred times more powerful than ordinary people. However, the power of faith is the most dedicated when you first believe, and every time you follow it, it is not as good as the first time, and even worse and farther. ”
"The Immortal Kingdom is over 10,000?" Lin Han thought that this was a bragging, so he didn't delve into it, and instead asked: "In addition to the power of faith being used to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, what else can the power of faith be used for?"
The spirit of the ring said to Lin Han with disdain: "The power of faith is called the power of the gods, and naturally there are all kinds of wonders, everyone's body is different, the cultivation qualifications are different, and the abilities obtained are also different. But only by opening the divine source and becoming a true god can you use the power of the gods. At present, for you, it is only the role of dodging the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Lin Han said in disbelief: "That Yue Xuanji already has a divine source in her body, isn't she a god?"
"Moon Xuanji has just stimulated the blood of the gods. "This can only be regarded as a special physique, and the power of the gods can only change her body structure at most, such as having twenty meridians like you." But it would be ridiculous to want to use it to control the power of God and become a real god. In ancient times, the gods were so angry that they could even poke holes in the sky. Believing in gods is not as simple as you think. ”
"Are only people with the power of faith?" Lin Han asked, "What about the other races?"
The Ring Spirit explained: "All things have spirits, and all have the power of faith!"
"Then is everyone's power of faith the same volume?" Lin Han asked, "Is it true that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, if you believe in someone, the more faith power that person will get." ”
The spirit of the ring said without saying a word: "Actually, you don't have to worry, with the personality of the old master, he will definitely leave something for you in the third cave." Basically all I can answer is to tell you, the purer the power of faith, the higher the quality of the power of faith that people give. It has nothing to do with the level of cultivation, this is also the same as the willingness of many strong people to coexist and prosper with ordinary people. Otherwise, once you step into the monks, then mortals will become two-legged pigs and sheep. Do you think that with the selfish nature of ordinary monks, they will tolerate the existence of mortals? ”
"I just don't know why so many monks don't know the power of faith now, just like you, you haven't even heard of it. If the Great Protective Array of the Eastern Wilderness City is blessed by the power of faith, that Ji Bari is under control, although he can't beat the Yuan Infant Monk, but it is impossible for the Yuan Infant Monk to break the formation. And even if you have the Array Breaker, if the power of faith wraps around the Array of Protectors, your Hammer will be invalid, and the Array of Protectors attached to the power of faith will naturally remain intact. ”
Lin Han couldn't help but look forward to what treasures would be hidden in the third cave mansion left by the Five Elements Divine Monarch.
"Mortals must be willing to dedicate their faith to the power of their faith, and they must not be forced. The power of faith that comes from impurity will lead you to the wrong path, demonize your consciousness, and eventually become an evil god with only instinctive consciousness. The spirit warned Lin Han: "Do more good deeds for mortals, and they will naturally be happy and convinced of you, bow their heads, and dedicate their faith to you." But it's better if you have a country in your hands and hundreds of millions of people at that time. At that time, it will not be difficult to become a true god. ”
Lin Han was speechless for a while, now just a Tianxuan Palace is enough for him to waste his energy, and it is really an unattainable dream to establish a country.
The ring spirit seemed to see through Lin Han's thoughts, and said disdainfully: "Look at your little breath, do you know that you are in the spirit ......" Suddenly the voice stopped abruptly.
Lin Han couldn't help asking, "What is in the spirit?"
The ring spirit smiled and said, "Let's improve the cultivation first." ”
"Pretend to be mysterious!" Lin Han said disdainfully: "I don't want to know yet." ”
The Ringwraith didn't respond, which was very inconsistent with its usual and out-of-the-box personality. Lin Han knew in his heart that the ring spirit had many secrets, but he had already recognized him as the master and would definitely not harm him, so since he didn't say it, he wouldn't persecute him.
Zhou Fuchao is now a little proud, he just got the news, His Majesty is very satisfied with him, and Liu Mang's death will not be investigated.
Now, Zhou Fuchao is in the honeymoon period with Lin Han, and he knows that Lin Han is in control of the Formation Breaking Hammer, which is a huge wealth for the royal family. For this reason, he deliberately blocked the news, and did not let anyone get the news except to report to His Majesty the Emperor about the matter.
For half a year, the Eastern Wilderness City has been very calm, and Zhou Fuchao thinks that his strategy of blocking the news is very good.
After half a year of contact with Lin Han, he deeply understood how shrewd Lin Han was, Ji Bari and Beiye Shu, the king of Beichuan County, were both calculated by Lin Han, and there were also four monks in the late stage of the Donghuang County who died in vain, which was enough to lower the strength of the Bloody Demon Pavilion from the tenth to the twentieth among the thirty-seven counties in the southwest.
With such a talent, Zhou Fuchao didn't want to control it in his hands, but he knew his ability, and Lin Han would not surrender to him.
However, if he is allowed to go out, it will be very bad if he becomes hostile again in the future because of the contact of interests.
So, he introduced Lin Han's various things to the emperor in one go, hoping that the emperor could reuse talents, so he did not hesitate to risk offending the emperor and let the emperor withdraw the holy decree issued before.
The memorabilia had already been written, and through the channels of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, it still took nearly four months to send it to the emperor.
The Eastern Wilderness City is too remote, and it is 80 million miles away from the imperial capital. The universal flying passenger ship on the market travels 10,000 kilometers per day. Not counting the time for various breaks and switching flying ships in between, it will take at least one year and two months to reach the imperial capital.
Even if the Tianji Pavilion used a special special passage, it took four months.
But today, Zhou Fuchao received a thousand-mile transmission from his father who was far away in the imperial capital, the content was very ordinary, only four words, my son is fine, and my father is very happy.
The popular explanation is that my son knows that you are very good, and I am very happy and at ease.
But Zhou Fuchao understood the meaning of this, which was praising him.
I was overjoyed in my heart, knowing that his recital to the emperor must have worked, but the sound transmission of thousands of miles was extremely unsafe, and it was easy for people to see, so it was not good to inform the specific situation in it.
Lin Han came to the former county king's mansion, which is now the residence of the Zhou Fu Dynasty. In a garden, I found Zhou Fuchao, who was holding two beautiful women enjoying flowers and drinking, and said, "Lord Wang!"
Zhou Fuchao touched the soft bodies of the two beauties, thinking about his thoughts, and when he saw Lin Han, he immediately pushed the two beauties away, and after the two left, he beckoned to Lin Han and said: "What's polite, how many times have you said it, don't call me the prince, just call me Brother Zhou!"
In terms of age, Zhou Fuchao is only over ninety years old this year, which is already enough to be a grandfather among mortals, but in the long life of a monk, he is still a young man.
"Lord Wang, I'm here to bid you farewell!" Lin Han smiled: "In the past, the promises I made with the prince have been fulfilled, and the prince also allowed me to stay here in Tianxuan Palace for half a year, I am very grateful, but there is no banquet in the world, and I have found a new place as the residence of Tianxuan Palace." ”
Zhou Fuchao was taken aback, and said movingly: "Stay well, why do you need to leave? Isn't the matter of alchemy not over yet?" Lin Han is leaving, in case the emperor comes down to the holy decree, who will take it? If Lin Han is not present, wouldn't the remarks in Zhou Fuchao's recital be all coaxing, and then a crime of bullying the king will not be able to escape.
Lin Han was indeed grateful to Zhou Fuchao, although he helped him take the Eastern Wilderness City, but everyone took what they needed at that time.
After capturing the city, Zhou Fuchao summoned all the alchemists of Tianji Pavilion in Donghuang County and provided them to Tianxuan Palace.
In half a year, Lin Han had already refined more than 30,000 Yin Soul Pills with the support of Tianji Pavilion.
For this reason, Lin Han wanted to leave, and in the Valley of Broken Souls, it was the real safe place.
Although it has been very quiet in the past six months, it is possible to be prepared for danger in times of peace, since there is a natural barrier as a mountain protection array, why not.
What made Lin Han admire Zhou Fuchao the most was that Zhou Fuchao didn't ask more about alchemy. Until now, I don't know what kind of pill Lin Han is refining, including the alchemists of Tianji Pavilion, they are more like a group of alchemy boys, they only start alchemy according to the corresponding materials, and after the finished products, they are all driven out and taken over by the people of Tianxuan Palace.
The Yin Soul Pill is refined according to the method of Lin Nipan, in fact, this Pill is very easy to refine, but the cycle is longer. Fortunately, the number of alchemists was large enough, and in half a year, the Yin Soul Pill used by the current disciples of Tianxuan Palace was finally refined.
"It's basically over!" Lin Han said with a smile: "Take care, Lord Wang, when I settle down, I will definitely invite you to come and sit down." ”
Zhou Fuchao pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't know what kind of pill you are refining, I don't know where you are going. But there is a lot of danger outside, and although it has been calm for half a year, Beichuan County and the Blood Demon Pavilion will not let you go. You're leaving now, and you're afraid of ......."
Lin Han said calmly: "Let them come, as long as they are not Yuan Infant Stage monks, they will give away their heads." "This is not an exaggeration at all, with the secret realm elves, and integrating the spiritual power of the disciples of Tianxuan Palace into the big array, it is completely possible to bombard and kill 10 late-stage cultivators at one time.
Unless the other party has more than fifteen late-stage cultivators to help, it will be really difficult to find trouble with Tianxuan Palace.
Zhou Fuchao had no choice but to tell the truth: "I naturally know the strength of Tianxuan Palace, and I won't tell you that my recital with the emperor has been approved." It is very likely that the Emperor will reuse you, and a holy envoy will come soon. If you leave, and when the Holy Messenger comes, how can I go to you?"
"It's very simple, I'll give you my transmission note, and then you can just send it to me. Lin Han asked rhetorically, "But what is the Holy Decree for? Abolish the previous Holy Decree?"
"How dare the Holy Will speculate!" Zhou Fuchao said: "No one can figure out what the emperor thinks, but it should be a good thing." Lin Han, if the emperor wants you to go to the imperial capital to be an official, are you willing?"
Lin Han smiled and said, "I'm an evil demon, how can I be qualified to be an official!"
Zhou Fuchao said solemnly: "Your Majesty was deceived by the villain of Ji Bari, so he would give such a will." Lin Han, don't be angry with Your Majesty, don't you want to serve Da Chu? If you join, the people of Da Chu will be even happier. ”
Lin Han immediately shook his head and said, "The prince's words are too serious. After a pause, he said: "Lin is only a shallow learner, and he is not worthy of such attention from the prince." I never wanted to be an official, I just didn't want my relatives and friends to suffer in this life, I wanted them to live a peaceful and happy life. I hope that there will be no more regrets in this life, and I hope that the name of Tianxuan Palace will spread all over the world. If you are an official, I am afraid that you don't have so much energy. ”
Zhou Fuchao nodded, Lin Han told him the truth, this is a normal person's way of thinking, and said solemnly at the moment: "If the emperor retracts his previous will and appoints you as my official of Dachu, are you willing?" In fact, this does not conflict with your sect, with the two elders Hong Taixu and the old ghost of Yin Feng to help you take charge of the sect, you can have a lot of free time, after all, cultivation cannot be practiced day and night. As long as you become an official, you will be protected by the royal family, which is also very beneficial to the development of Tianxuan Palace. ”
The last sentence made Lin Han's heart moved, it is true, the royal family is thousands of miles away, but the influence of the royal family is very strong, if he wants to become a legitimate official of the Chu State, then any force that wants to trouble him has to weigh it. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, this is a bit unpleasant to use on Lin Han, but the words are not rough.
Zhou Fuchao saw that Lin Han's heart was moved, so he added another fire and said: "If Tianxuan Palace wants to grow, how difficult it is. If you don't have a strong backup, how far do you think you Tianxuan Palace alone can make Tianxuan Palace grow? In the future, if you become an official of the Chu State, then as long as the emperor has a will, you can make Tianxuan Palace famous all over the world. Haven't you always wanted to resurrect your master? I don't know if you've ever heard of faith as a god. ”
Lin Han's heart was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Fuchao in surprise.
Zhou Fuchao looked a little satisfied, very satisfied with Lin Han's reaction, and explained: "Actually, I haven't been a god for many years, and I also saw it by chance in the royal classics. The state of Chu represents the way of heaven, and the emperor proclaims himself the son of heaven, and one of his wills represents the meaning of heaven. For example, a holy decree made you become an evil demon, and at the same time, a holy decree can make people become gods. There are many kinds of gods, but they are generally divided into ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods are people who have died through the worship of dynasties, so as to awaken their consciousness and become gods, which is the lowest level of the gods. But after all, it is a god, and its power is still very terrifying. ”
After a pause, seeing that Lin Han was still surprised, as if he was in disbelief, he couldn't help but be more satisfied, and said: "It's normal that you don't know this, although you are extremely talented and intelligent, but the cultivation time is too short, Hong Taixu and Yin Feng Old Ghost are two scattered cultivators, how much can they know about the secrets of the cultivation world and the Chu State? Naturally, there are many ancient secrets that you don't know." Do you know why only ten of the three hundred counties of Great Chu obey the control of the royal family, and the other two hundred and ninety counties do not listen to the announcement?
Lin Han lived for three hundred years in his last life, and he didn't have much contact with the people of the royal family of Chu State, and then he has been in the sea area, and he knows very little about the Divine Origin, not to mention the power of faith and belief in the gods, and why the royal family of Chu State can't control the two hundred and ninety counties overnight.
At this moment, he was very curious, looked at Zhou Fuchao and said seriously: "I want to hear about it." ”
"It has been 10,000 years since Taizu founded the country!" Zhou Fuchao said with a solemn expression: "The successive emperors have been diligent and diligent, and basically they will eventually ascend to the spiritual realm. However, more than a thousand years ago, the power of the gods gradually weakened, and the royal family had discovered the problem at that time, but it did not stop it in time, so that in the last three hundred counties, except for the ten counties close to the imperial capital, the remaining two hundred and ninety counties had no power of the gods. ”
"The power of the gods?" Lin Han looked at Zhou Fuchao questioningly, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Seeing this, Zhou Fuchao nodded seriously and said: "Do you see that today's monks have faith? In fact, more than 1,000 years ago, there were statues of gods worshiped in the three hundred counties, and the statues were worshiped by the people, and they would give back the corresponding blessings. But a thousand years ago, all the idols disappeared overnight, and people no longer had any faith in their hearts, and their hearts were freed from the shackles. The Three Hundred Counties spiraled out of control after the next few hundred years. Legend has it that the idol that absorbs the power of faith disappears only after the main body of the idol dies. Those were the three hundred great gods that my Great Chu worshipped, and they were all gone overnight. According to the ancient records of the royal family, it is very likely that something big happened in the spiritual world. But for thousands of years, no one who has ascended to the spirit world has ever returned, and it is unknown what happened to the spirit world. Alas!"
Lin Han's heart was full of waves, what happened a thousand years ago was not long ago for a monk with a lifespan of hundreds of years, but whether it was in this life or the previous life, he never knew that there were gods in the three hundred counties a thousand years ago.
"After the gods disappeared, the counties were afraid of the power of the royal family and did not dare to **. Until 600 years ago, the King of Longxiang County challenged the top ten Yuan Infant masters of the royal family at that time, and the royal family was defeated. In the end, it was the national teacher who forced the king of Longxiang County back, but since then, Longxiang County has been the first to no longer obey the jurisdiction of the royal family. After that, the other counties continued to provoke the royal family like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the royal family was indeed uncompetitive, which led to the fact that the 290 counties were not controlled by the royal family. ”
"But do you think that the small Eastern Wilderness City will not be able to be broken with the strength of my royal family?" Zhou Fuchao said to Lin Han: "No, you only need to send a Yuan Infant Stage Monk, and you can naturally easily take this city." But people's hearts are not ancient, people have no faith, no spiritual sustenance, become selfish, forcibly recover, and eventually have to break free from your control. In the past thousand years, in order to erase the influence of the gods on people, each county has done a very big job to erase the concept of God from people's hearts, you don't know it's normal, at least 99.9% of the people in the immortal cultivation world probably don't know that there was a god in our Chu country a thousand years ago, at least there is a god statue of the true body of the god. ”
Lin Han couldn't help but suddenly wonder, no wonder he had never heard of it before, but he frowned slightly in his heart, if the existence of a god is only used to bind the thoughts of human nature, then is this kind of god still worthy of worship? At least Lin Han didn't want to be that kind of god, he simply regarded people as animals that contributed the power of faith.
Zhou Fuchao seemed to see through Lin Han's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You must think that the existence of God is not a good thing for ordinary people, it will restrict people's thinking, people's hands and feet, make people numb, and become like walking dead, right?
Lin Han was stunned, shook his head and said, "It's not restrained." ”
Zhou Fuchao nodded and said, "The existence of the gods will not affect the lives of ordinary people or even monks, on the contrary, their existence will also provide protection for all the people of the Chu State." Do you know how the State of Chu was established back then?"
"It is said that Taizu led countless god-transforming period monks to kill more than 3,800 demon clan great sages in the Great War of Gods and Demons to establish the Chu State?" Lin Han heard a lot of royal secrets from Zhou Fuchao's mouth today, although he had already learned about the power of faith from the ring spirit, but he still gained a lot from Zhou Fuchao's mouth, and he was willing to talk to him more.
Zhou Fuchao smiled and said, "This is not a legend, it is true." Then you should know that our Chu State is actually not a place where human beings live, it is Taizu who forcibly grabbed the territory of the demon clan and established the Chu State. For 10,000 years, if it weren't for the gods of the three hundred counties to resist the demon clan, do you think the Chu State would still be as stable as it is now?"
Lin Han frowned, he had never seen anything in the last three hundred years, and he had also dealt with the demon clan, otherwise he would not have obtained such exercises as the Golden Winged Dapeng Heaven Swallowing Skill and the Xuanwu Imperial Water Duel.
I have some understanding of the old grudge between the demon clan and the Chu State, but the demon clan has been in the endless sea area of Nanhai County, and although it has often landed for countless years, it has not made any large-scale aggression against the Chu State.
"In fact, many people think that there is only one Chu country in the Great Yan World, or a knowledgeable monk will know that there is a Yan country 800,000 miles west of Donghuang County. In fact, in the Great Yan World, there are many powerful countries, and no one knows how many countries there are, and there are not so many records in the royal classics. Zhou Fuchao said to Lin Han with an unusually serious expression: "If the Chu State can't be hugged together, like a plate of loose sand, sooner or later it will be devoured by other countries and even the demon clan." I hope that you can join the imperial court, and if you can restore the order of the Chu State thousands of years ago in the future, you will definitely be crowned a god, and at that time, your master and apprentice will reunite and let his old man see your demeanor, how happy should you be?"
Lin Han knew in his heart that Zhou Fuchao told such a lot, it was nothing more than two points, there were many countries in the First Great Yan World, and the national strength of the Chu State was very weak, and it was easy for people to invade, especially the place of the Chu State was still grabbed from the territory of the demon clan, and it was even more dangerous. The second point is that the state of Chu is not like it was protected by the gods thousands of years ago, but in the same way, the position of the three hundred gods is vacant, if Lin Han can help the state of Chu become stronger, he will be given a place in the future, let him resurrect his master, and let his master become a god.
Lin Han actually didn't have the ambition to dominate the world and must be the first in the world, if the county palace had treated him sincerely at the beginning, he would have joined the camp of the county king's mansion a long time ago. If the Immortal Immortal Sect had treated him well, he would not have escaped and finally adopted this sect. If the Bloody Demon Pavilion was sincere, Lin Han might be as good as glue with the Bloody Demon Pavilion. It's a pity that the Bloody Demon Pavilion pays too much attention to interests, and treats Lin Han as a pawn, or a stallion, from the beginning. As for Zhou Fuchao's early contact, he also wanted to incorporate Lin Han, the most fundamental reason why Lin Han refused to join, Zhou Fuchao's ambitions were too great, and his strength was not good, and he would be used as a gunman if he followed.
Therefore, this is an unruly and maverick step in the eyes of outsiders, but it is forced by the situation. It's not that Lin Han is unruly and wants to dominate the world.
If it is really as Zhou Fuchao said, the emperor is willing to withdraw the previous holy decree, Lin Han is naturally willing to move closer to the royal family, so that it will not affect Tianxuan Palace, and there is no need to worry that Tianxuan Palace will be swallowed by the royal family one day. Second, both the development of Tianxuan Palace and the safety of the disciples have greatly improved a lot.
The most important thing is that Lin Han has experienced three hundred years in his last life, and he knows that the state of Chu is still there three hundred years later, and now holding such a thigh can ensure peace for at least three hundred years.
At first, Lin Han also wanted to hug the thick thighs of the royal family, but the emperor didn't give him a chance at all, and branded him as an evil demon.
Of course, Lin Han will not hate the royal family because of this, as long as the emperor is willing to wash away his reputation, he will also be happy to pour into the arms of the royal family.
"Brother Zhou!" Lin Han no longer opened his mouth to call the prince, but changed it to a address between friends: "If the emperor can take back the previous holy decree to crusade against me, Lin is also willing to contribute to this country and dedicate my own strength, after all, I am also a person from this country." ”
Zhou Fuchao naturally didn't believe that Lin Han had the sincerity to serve the country, but when he heard Lin Han's words that he was willing to join the royal family, he couldn't help but look at Lin Han in surprise and said, "Really?" No wonder he was so excited, the harder it was to get, the more people would cherish it, Lin Han was not an ordinary person, and he didn't agree to any number of forces that wanted to recruit him. So Zhou Fuchao talked to him so much today, but he didn't have much hope to make Lin Han agree, but the result was really unexpected.
Lin Han couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Fuchao's reaction: "Naturally, it's true." ”
"Hahaha!" Zhou Fu laughed at the sky, and said very happily: "With Brother Lin, my great Chu rejuvenation is just around the corner!"
Lin Han secretly wiped his cold sweat, he didn't feel that he had much ability, even if he had three hundred years of rebirth memory, but after all, his cultivation was too weak, no matter how high his wisdom was, sometimes he would make a wrong move, and he would never have a chance to turn the tables around.
So Lin Han immediately said modestly: "Brother Zhou thinks too highly of me, in fact, I am a person who is a little bit stronger than ordinary people, and I may not be able to reach what Brother Zhou imagined." ”
"Hehe!" Zhou Fuchao was obviously three points closer to Lin Han, and chuckled: "My eyes are still very accurate in seeing people, and Brother Lin's achievements in the future will definitely surprise people." At first, he didn't look down on Lin Han, thinking that no matter how great Lin Han's ability was, it was the cultivation of the foundation building period, how big could it be? But now that he has experienced so much, Zhou Fuchao understands the sentence who knows who uses it, Lin Han's ability is even a little ashamed of him, an absolute talent. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Shinto Maniac Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
