Volume 2 The Divine Capital is as Deep as the Sea Chapter 162 Preventing the Appearance of Drought
(Many thanks to 'Achelless' for their generosity and commuter pass support.) οΌ
Although there was still lightning and thunder outside, the eunuchs and maids in the palace panicked, but the old eunuch Du, who came at some point, agreed, and immediately ran out without fear.
Watching Old Eunuch Du leave, Yang Jian took a deep breath, looked at Wang Junlin with a complicated and grateful expression, and said, "If it weren't for Aiqing just now, the queen and I, as well as my two sons, would have ...... The consequences are unimaginable. β
Wang Junlin hurriedly said: "As a courtier of Your Majesty, it is the minister's duty to escort him. β
At this time, a palace maid came and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has woken up, and the imperial doctor said that the queen mother has been out of danger for the time being." β
When Yang Jian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and muttered to himself: "That Kunlun Immortal Master really has great powers, and finally helped the queen avoid the ghost general of the underworld, which can be regarded as a success in renewing his life, but his own mana is not enough, so that he suffered a backlash and lost his life." β
Wang Junlin listened to the absurdity in his heart and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. After Yang Jian finished speaking, he told Wang Junlin to wait here, and he took Yang Guang, Yang Yong and Yang Lihua to see the Queen Dugu who woke up.
When the rain had stopped, the old eunuch Du brought a message that left a shadow in Wang Junlin's heart - all the people involved in the construction of the bronze platform died, and the death was very strange, Yang Jian, who came back from Queen Dugu, was extremely shocked after hearing this, and ordered the old eunuch Du to find out about the matter.
Today's rain was a typical thundershower, the dark clouds in the sky had begun to shift and dissipate, half the sky was clear, and the sun was shining on the palace, dispelling a lot of fear in people's hearts.
Yang Jian led everyone to the door of the dormitory, hesitated for a moment and stopped, turned his head to look at Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin understood what Yang Jian meant, and said, "Your Majesty, there is no danger in this meeting." β
When Yang Jian heard this, he walked out of the dormitory and came to the bronze platform surrounded by everyone.
Looking at the corpse of Kunlun Yin Jun who was black and black by thunder and lightning, and smelling the faint smell of cooked meat, Yang Jian gasped and said, "Wang Junlin, what should be done with the corpse of this Kunlun Immortal Master?" β
Wang Junlin saw from the expressions of Yang Jian and the others that Yang Jian and everyone were worried that something very strange would happen, so he said in a kind manner: "The minister thinks that this person is not suitable for the earth, and it is better to incinerate him to ashes." β
Yang Jian didn't know what he thought of, his face changed, he shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Qin Anhou is right, come here, immediately burn the body of the Kunlun Immortal Master to ashes, just on this bronze platform, it must be as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe once it gets dark." β
Wang Junlin really didn't know what Yang Jian was referring to when he was talking about the catastrophe, but he naturally wouldn't ask.
The emperor's words are always the fastest to implement, and a fire was quickly set up on the copper platform, but when the corpse of Kunlun Yinjun was about to be thrown onto the firewood, a group of guards and eunuchs hesitated, and no one dared to touch the corpse of Kunlun Yinjun for a while.
Seeing that Yang Jian's face sank, Old Eunuch Du pointed to Bai Shi next to him and said, "Bai Shi, you go and carry the body of Kunlun Yin Jun to the firewood, and then light the firewood." β
The eunuch Bai Shi, who had just received a bribe from Wang Junlin for a few days on 500 acres of land, had a sad and indignant look on his face, but he didn't dare to disobey the words of the old eunuch Du, and was ready to climb the bronze platform with a look of death.
Yang Jian suddenly shouted: "Zhao Shuliang, you go!" β
Zhao Shuliang, the commander of the internal guards standing next to him, immediately protruded with a pair of big eyes, although he was a master of the Breaking Skill Period, but at this time, he was trembling and looking at the emperor, he only hoped that he had misheard these words just now.
Wang Junlin turned his head to look and remembered that when the thunder and lightning were mixed before, it was this person who shouted, causing more than 20 guards with knives and shields to block in front of Yang Jian, and because of this person's actions, Yang Jian was almost killed by thunder and lightning like the more than 20 guards.
Therefore, at this time, it is understandable that Yang Jian asked him to put the corpse of Kunlun Yin Jun on top of the heavenly dry firewood and be responsible for igniting it.
"Zhao Shuliang, don't you want to prove your bravery to me!"
"Wechen obeys!" Zhao Shuliang replied very quickly and crisply, however, his body remained in place very honestly, looking at his master Yang Jian sadly.
Wang Junlin was speechless in his heart, although he didn't know what these people were afraid of, he could guess it in general. People who can become emperors, and who can stand by the emperor's side, can be said to be the elite of this era, and their knowledge and mind are definitely the top in this era, but when it comes to ghosts and gods, they still seem extremely ignorant, it's not their fault, it's the times that limit their understanding.
Wang Junlin originally wanted to do something, but when he felt that the old eunuch Du had been staring at him, he felt a pang in his heart, and he had a feeling that he would lose too many words, and suddenly lost his interest in speaking.
Death requires a sense of ritual, after all, life is only once for everyone.
Zhao Shuliang probably thought that he was going to die, so the ceremony was very solemn, first took off his helmet, and resolutely bowed to Yang Jian for the last time he thought he knew, and after kneeling, he said goodbye to his companions one by one.
When he finally saw Wang Junlin, there was some light in his desperate eyes, as if he saw a possible way to live, and he respectfully saluted Wang Junlin and said, "The stakes are very high, please ask Hou Ye to point out the taboos." β
Wang Junlin noticed that everyone's eyes suddenly moved to his body, smiled slightly, and said, "I'll do this with you, and it will be fine." β
Wang Junlin didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his words were a little ambiguous, and everyone's understanding suddenly became that as long as Wang Junlin and Zhao Shuliang went up, there would be nothing.
As soon as the words fell, Wang Junlin had already jumped onto the bronze platform, and after Zhao Shuliang was stunned for a moment, he was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly got on the bronze platform.
Wang Junlin raised his head expressionlessly, Zhao Shuliang's expression was extremely solemn, and his hands trembled slightly and raised his legs, and put Kunlun Yinjun on the dry wood next to him.
Wang Junlin took the lamp oil from a large internal guard next to him, sprinkled it on the dry firewood, and motioned for Zhao Shuliang to take the torch handed by another guard and light it.
Zhao Shuliang may have thought that igniting the corpse was the most likely factor to kill him in an instant, and his face changed slightly, and he hesitated a little.
Wang Junlin smiled slightly in front of everyone's eyes, took the torch, and threw it on the dry wood. Then the two of them jumped off the bronze platform, and Zhao Shuliang saluted Wang Junlin with his fists, without speaking, but his expression was full of endless gratitude.
The dry wood was ignited instantly, and a fire soon ignited due to the presence of the lamp oil.
Everyone stared at the corpse of Kunlun Yin Jun, as if the corpse would be resurrected and become a devil in the next moment, so Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Yang Yong, Yang Lihua and other royal families were firmly protected by a large group of guards.
The next moment, a strange scene really happened.
Kunlun Yinjun's corpse was heated, the meridians contracted, and it turned into a toddler state hugging his knees in the fire, and the eyelids of his two eyes slowly grew, which finally turned Kunlun Yinjun's corpse into a strange appearance of curling up with his knees hugged and his eyes open.
Including Wang Junlin, the pupils of everyone at the scene shrank, and Yang Jian even led a group of royal family members to bow deeply to the corpse, and there were words in their mouths.
The strange appearance of the corpse lasted for a short time, and soon, the corpse was melting.
Suddenly, the flame on the corpse turned blue, causing another exclamation.
Wang Junlin, who was pondering why the strange scene just now, shook his nose slightly, and suddenly knew the reason, this corpse carried something like sulfur, and the flame of this kind of thing was blue, but except for Wang Junlin, others obviously didn't know, so these people naturally attributed the appearance of this blue flame to the category of ghosts and gods.
Obviously, there weren't many sulfur and other things on Kunlun Yin Jun's body, and the bright blue flame on the corpse lasted for a short time, and then nothing special happened, and the corpse was finally burned to ashes.
Today, I witnessed Yang Jian and Yang Guang's awe of ghosts and gods, and at this time, I obviously felt that there was some inexplicable meaning in everyone's eyes looking at him, plus he saved the lives of Queen Dugu and Yang Jian's father and son by chance. For some reason, Wang Junlin didn't plan to explain today's series of things to Yang Jian through scientific principles, he planned to pretend to be confused, at least it seemed that he could increase his bargaining chips in Yang Jian and Yang Guang's hearts.
Perhaps because of this, in the end, Yang Jian rewarded Wang Junlin with a gold medal for avoiding death, and rewarded a manor that belonged to the royal private property in the capital. These two gifts made King's heart very happy, and these were the things he needed. Of course, he also knows that with Yang Guang's character, no matter whether you have a death-free gold medal or not, you can kill you when you want to. Because of the original history of the founding heroes of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, Gao Ying, and He Ruobi all had gold medals for avoiding death, but they were not forced to death or directly killed by Yang Guang.
Wang Junlin left the palace happily, leaving only Yang Jian and his most henchmen to continue discussing what happened today.
"Zhao Shuliang, you said that after the death of Kunlun Immortal Master, the corpse was as tough as cow tendons?" Inside the imperial study, Yang Jian said with a solemn expression.
Zhao Shuliang immediately said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, when the minister was carrying the corpse of the Kunlun Immortal Master, because he was nervous, he used a little more force, and when he grabbed his legs, it was like beating a leather drum, and there was a knocking sound. β
"That's right, the corpse is so tough and bent that it will revert to its dying state in an instant...... This is the prelude to the corpse mutiny, in order to prevent the Jingshi from drought, it is wise to order the burning of this body at the first time, this is not enough, you immediately arrange for someone to divide the ashes into eight parts, let the eight guards carry them, each of them galloped five hundred miles in eight directions, and then found a water source and threw it in it to prevent the drought storm from resurrecting! Yang Jian said with a solemn expression.
