Chapter 66 Astrology Bureau (Part )

"Could it be that, Qiansui, you already knew the reason?"

Lu Shang was surprised and asked, "Could it be that there is really something mysterious about them?"

Facing Lu Shang's surprise, Yang Lin snorted, "If there wasn't something else going on with them, why would I let you take them to Baidaochuan?"

"It will be beneficial to have them accompany us on our journey to Baidaochuan."

Lu Shang bowed and whispered, "Please enlighten me, my Lord."

Yang Lin didn't want to talk to Lu Shang about these strange and bizarre things about fate, but seeing that Lu Shang was stubborn, he thought about it for a while and finally said, "These three people are not ordinary people. They are generals who are destined by the stars."

"Wei Cheng, Shang Silang, and Xin Yongfeng, you carry the astrological destinies of the three stars Qi Sha, Po Jun, and Tan Lang. I heard that you are well-versed in Taoist texts, so I think you should know what the three stars of Sha Po Lang symbolize."

Lü Shang replied immediately, "Qi Sha, the thief who disrupts the world; Po Jun, the general who dominates the world; Tan Lang, the treacherous and cunning man."

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Yes, disrupting the world, dominating the world, being treacherous and deceitful, these are not good words. However, whether they are good or not is none of your business. You just need to know that they have great luck and can be of help."

Good luck?

Lu Shang savored the word "good luck" carefully, but felt bewildered.

Seeing that Lu Shang still looked confused, Yang Lin sighed and said, "Grand Historian Yuan Yun calculated that Wei Cheng and the other two were destined to be the generals of the Great Sui Dynasty. They are destined to help the Great Sui Dynasty unify the world. Killing them before the world is unified would be like defying heaven!"

"Yuan Yun's divine teachings are unmatched in the world today. He said they were destined to help the Sui Dynasty unify the world. This is their destiny."

Not only Yang Lin believed in Yuan Yun's magical skills, but Emperor Yang Jian also regarded it as a guiding principle.

Lu Shang suddenly understood and murmured, "So this is why Qiansui asked me to take them to Baichuan Road."

Yang Lin said slowly, "When these three people gather together, their horoscopes correspond to the stars in the sky, forming an astrological pattern. There are also masters in the Turkic shamanism. When they see this astrological pattern, they naturally know the pros and cons."

Hearing Yang Lin mention the witch cult, Lu Shang's heart moved and he said, "Your Highness, you said that there are masters in the Turkic witch cult. I wonder if these masters will intervene in the battle in Baidaochuan?"

Since Yang Lin could call him a master, Lu Shang naturally did not dare to be arrogant.

"Don't worry about that. The Imperial Master Tanyan has specially invited two great bodhisattvas from Northern India to come to Baidaochuan to preach to the Turkic people."

"With these two great masters from Northern India in Baidaochuan, even if the witch cult masters want to take action, they will take into account the reactions of these two masters."

Although there are many desperate lunatics in the Turkic shamanic cult, their recklessness is merely a means to an end. If something cannot be done, they will not force it.

The deterrent power of the heavenly rules and regulations is still very great.

After all, these heavenly rules were originally formulated by the Three Pure Ones to constrain the behavior of those who practice Taoism.

The heaven and the earth were created by the Three Pure Ones, so who dares to violate the majesty of the heavenly laws?

In the main hall of Jingzhao Prefecture, Yu Qingze looked at the document in his hand with a cold expression.

"King of the Mountain!"

Yu Qingze had no idea that the evil cultivators in Banzhengfang had actually alarmed King Kaoshan and attracted his attention. King Kaoshan issued a document giving him three days to apprehend the evil cultivators.

Before receiving the document, Yu Qingze did not take the fox demon matter too seriously.
Even the pursuit was only assigned to Wang Hu, one of the Six Caos. Unexpectedly, the King of Backer personally ordered the Jingzhao Yin to investigate the fox demon.

"Sir, this is a document personally issued by King Kaoshan. What should we do?"

Wang Hu said cautiously beside Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze was annoyed and said, "The Lord has personally asked about it, what else can we do? Since the Lord said three days, then it must be three days."

"I will send a letter to the underworld, asking for the help of the four ghost immortals. With the ghost immortals as my eyes and ears, it will be more than enough to find a fox demon with shallow cultivation."

Yu Qingze was very clear about his position. Although he was Yang Jian's favorite minister, known as one of the Four Nobles, and most people in the court were looked down upon by him, Yang Lin was Yang Jian's uncle, so there was a difference between close and distant relatives.

Besides, Yang Lin’s title of “King of Backers” is not for nothing, he is truly the backer of the Sui Dynasty.

So when faced with the document from King Kaoshan, Yu Qing really couldn't stand up.

The reason he was trusted by Yang Jian in the first place was because he urged Yang Jian to kill all the Yuwen clan when Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty. Yang Jian's decision to take action against the young emperor was largely due to his encouragement.

Although this move gained Yang Jian's trust, Yu Qingze's reputation was almost ruined.

"Go and immediately prepare the necessary materials for the letter: incense, candles, yellow paper, and cinnabar. Be sure to select the finest."

Yu Qingze looked at Wang Hu with unquestionable majesty in his eyes.

Wang Hu quickly agreed, turned around and left in a hurry. A moment later, he returned with all the necessary things.

Yu Qingze personally ground the ink and dipped his brush into it. The fragrance of the ink filled the hall as the tip of his brush moved up and down the yellow paper. "Spirit of the Underworld, Prince Fude, to the throne, there is turmoil in the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty. A demonic fox is causing trouble for the people and disturbing the court. Prince Kaoshan has issued an order to apprehend it within three days. Qingze, though a humble man, implores the ghosts and immortals of all directions to help locate the fox demon so that we can quell the chaos and protect the country and its people. Upon completion, I will reward you handsomely with three sacrificial animals and repair the temple as a token of my sincerity."

After finishing writing, Yu Qingze carefully folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and stamped his own seal on the seal with cinnabar.

"Take this letter and go to the City God Temple in the west of the city. Burn it before the City God statue. The letter will then be cast into the underworld. Once King Fude receives the letter, he will dispatch ghosts and immortals from all directions to assist you."

The City God of Daxing was Ji Xin, a founding general of the Han Dynasty.

During the Chu-Han Contention, Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor, was besieged in Xingyang by the Overlord Xiang Yu. It was Ji Xin who pretended to be Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor, and deceived the Chu army, allowing Liu Bang to escape. Ji Xin was then burned to death by the Overlord Xiang Yu.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor, worshipped Ji Xin as the city god, enfeoffed him in Chang'an, and gave him the title of King Fude, enjoying national sacrifices.

Later, with the change of dynasties and Wang Mang's chaotic rule, Chang'an lost its status as the capital. It was not until five hundred years later when the Sui Dynasty was established that Yang Jian changed Chang'an's name to Daxing and Fude Wang Ji Xin became the city god again.

It was because the Sui Dynasty established its capital in old Chang'an that Ji Xin was able to regain the position of City God. To be more specific, Ji Xin owed the Sui Dynasty a great favor.

It was also because of this connection that Yu Qingze was very confident in asking Ji Xin for help.

Although Jingzhao Yin had the authority to submit memorials to the Imperial Court, he could have omitted Ji Xin. However, this authority should not be used lightly. Every time he used it, he was telling Emperor Yang Jian that he was incompetent.

"Sir, I will go to the City God Temple now," Wang Hu took the document and left.
