Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1530 Yuan Shoucheng is dead

Wei Zheng, holding the imperial edict in his hand, strode into the temple of the Dragon King of Jinghe River. An old temple priest with a white beard on duty tried to stop him, but he immediately shrank back after receiving a murderous look from Wei Zheng.

"Dragon King of Jinghe River, accept my order!" Wei Zheng shouted at the clay statue.

After more than ten breaths, green light flew out from the Jing River and landed on the statue. After another ten breaths, the statue's expression became richer, and there was emotion in its eyes.

The statue spoke slowly, "I am a senior general of the Water Tribe. I have received orders from the Dragon King of the West Sea and will not accept the orders of your human emperor. Please return to where you came from."

Wei Zheng handed the imperial edict to the dazed temple priest, drew his sword, and pointed the tip at the statue: "Haven't you heard that 'All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people in the world are his subjects?' Since you are within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you are its subjects and must obey the emperor's edict."

The Dragon King of Jinghe River had previously heard from Deng Chanyu that Wei Zheng was very domineering, but he never expected that he would be so domineering.

Don’t treat bean buns as dry food. I am a god and you are just a mortal.

He looked disdainful, as if he was unwilling to talk to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng took two more steps forward. "I, on behalf of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come to inquire why you are plotting to overthrow the state and endanger the Tang Dynasty. What is your conspiracy? Who is behind this?"

The voice of the Jinghe Dragon King rang out from the statue: "I am friends with Yuan Shoucheng of your dynasty. Yuan Shoucheng is an expert in divination. He told me that your emperor has only one year left to live. I am simply speaking the truth."

Wei Zheng cursed, "Nonsense! Lord Yuan is a man of high moral standing. How could he say such unfilial words? You must be wrongly accusing a good man!"

The Dragon King of Jinghe River sneered. That’s right, he was wrongly accusing Yuan Shoucheng. As for whether this man was a good person, that was another matter.

Yuan Shoucheng was good at observing the changes of yin and yang, the four seasons, and the five elements. He seemed to be a Confucian, but in fact he was a descendant of the Yin-Yang School.

The Yin-Yang School of this era all have some connection with the Yin-Yang Patriarch.

In the original time and space, Yuan Shoucheng made a bet with the Dragon King of Jing River, saying that it would rain "three feet, three inches and forty-eight points". The Dragon King didn't believe it, and just when he returned to the Water Palace and was still smiling, the Jade Emperor sent a warrior in golden armor to convey his order, asking him to make it rain. The order was written with "three feet, three inches and forty-eight points".

Isn't this nonsense? How could the Jade Emperor, the dignified Jade Emperor, be involved in such trivial matters? And even issue a special decree to say so?

Chiang Kai-shek’s “move the machine gun five meters to the left” was even more concise than this.

How busy is the Jade Emperor? How vast is the prehistoric world? If he were to make such detailed regulations for every region and issue an edict for each, the Jade Emperor would be exhausted to death.

When Sun Wukong asked for rain at the Flaming Mountain and Chechi Kingdom, the Dragon King started to rain without saying a word. There was nothing wrong with it. This thing doesn't have such strict requirements.

The golden-armored warrior who announced the decree to the Dragon King of Jinghe River in the original time and space was definitely not from Heaven. The Jade Emperor would not be so meticulous.

This Yuan Shoucheng is an enemy, not a friend, so Deng Chanyu’s solution is to get rid of him first.

Wei Zheng said, "The Holy Emperor is on the throne, with hundreds of officials assisting him and billions of people at his disposal. The Dragon King should be cautious in his words and actions."

The Dragon King of the Jing River sneered, "Was there a Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago? Who owned this land a thousand years ago? Your Tang Dynasty didn't exist then, but the Jing River has always been here, and it will continue to exist. The rising and setting of the sun is but a blink of an eye for me. I wonder how many blinks of an eye your Tang Dynasty can last. If you have nothing else to do, please leave early."

Wei Zheng glared at him and said, "Speak clearly, and I will leave! Stop!"

He wanted to say a few more words, but the green light on the statue disappeared and it turned back into a clay and wooden statue.

"How can this be possible, you evil dragon! I will kill you!" Wei Zheng turned away.

In just one day, he had already gathered two hundred soldiers and over a hundred nearby civilians. "You, the Dragon King of the Jing River, refuse to reason with me, don't you? Fine, I'll overturn your table!"
"Tear down this dilapidated temple!"

"Order!"

Several soldiers first pushed the statue off the altar, and then chopped it down with axes. The old temple keeper begged for mercy.

"It can't be demolished! It can't be demolished! This temple has existed since the end of the Shang Dynasty and has thousands of years of history."

No one paid attention to his request. Perhaps because they thought he was in the way, the captain who led the team even kicked the temple keeper. The white-haired old man didn't stand up for a long time.

Wei Zheng finally ordered the temple of the Dragon King of Jinghe River to be burned down.

Wei Zheng reported to Li Shimin what happened to him by the Jing River. If it were someone else, he would probably help Yuan Shoucheng conceal it. The frame-up of the Dragon King of the Jing River was too low-level.

But Wei Zheng was a man who would not tolerate any injustice. He reported the facts truthfully without hiding anything.

Li Shimin laughed and said that this was a clumsy plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but as an emperor, he himself was wary of these fortune tellers and divinationists. In many cases, it was better to believe in prophecies than not to believe in them.

I rationally feel that the Dragon King of Jinghe River has no connection with Yuan Shoucheng, but what if there is?

Three days later, his suspicion took over and he killed Yuan Shoucheng.

"Yuan Shoucheng is dead, is that enough?" The Dragon King of Jinghe River stood in the clouds, looking at Yuan Shoucheng's headless body, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

He asked Deng Chanyu who was standing beside him.

"This is just the beginning. I see you still have dozens of temples on both sides of the Jing River. Let the Tang court slowly demolish them."

It's not your temple that's being demolished, so naturally you won't feel sad.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River had an ugly look on his face, but he also knew that one cannot catch a wolf without sacrificing his own children.

"My lord, I feel uneasy and always feel that disaster is approaching!" The expression of the Dragon King of Jing River was conflicted. He was as uneasy now as he was arrogant when facing Wei Zheng before.

Deng Chanyu looked at him in surprise: "I promised you that I would let you use Chen Guangrui's body to revive, re-enter Buddhism as a human, become the father of a holy monk, and enjoy the merits of the West. What is there to be afraid of?

You should be ready to die, right? You are too timid, just like your cheap son. So, let me tell you a fortune.

Deng Chanyu stretched out her finger and casually wrote twelve large characters in the cloud: "The autumn wind is blowing gently, the waves of Dongting Lake are rippling under the fallen leaves."

She asked, "Which word did the Dragon King see first?"

The Dragon King of Jinghe River tapped on each of the two words "Konoha".

Deng Chanyu nodded. This Dragon King was similar to the netizens in her previous life. She estimated that the netizens who were good at quantum reading would also see the word "Konoha" first.

She pondered for a moment, then pointed to Yonghefang, in the direction of Yanping Gate in Chang'an City, and said, "The Dragon King's head will be hanging there in a while."

The Dragon King of Jinghe River: “.”

The calculation is so accurate, I won’t calculate it next time!
