The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Chapter 75 Changsun Wuji Seeks Help; Evil Spirits Appear in His Home

Upon seeing this, Changsun Wuji abruptly took a step back.

I was startled again and almost lost my balance.

Is a paper donkey nodding to him?

But then, out of long-established etiquette and awe of the unknown, they changed their minds.

Changsun Wuji subconsciously cupped his hands and bowed to the paper donkey.

This comical scene was witnessed by Li Shimin, who was standing nearby.

She couldn't help but smile, and the embarrassment in her heart completely disappeared.

He stepped forward and patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder.

"This is a celestial donkey, a true treasure."

"How was it? Auxiliary machine, were you scared just now?"

His tone was tinged with smugness, but Changsun Wuji remained dumbfounded.

He swallowed hard, then asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I was indeed frightened."

"Shouldn't this be an inanimate object?"

"Why are these paper effigies so lifelike, and even able to understand human speech?"

"It can even carry Your Majesty, moving around the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin burst into laughter.

Hearty laughter echoed throughout the Rissei Hall.

"Auxiliary machine, you think this is an inanimate object? You're sorely mistaken."

"If it were merely an ordinary inanimate object, would I have lost my composure like this?"

"This is a celestial donkey that was personally enlightened by the Divine Lord and awakened to its full intelligence!"

"It is now my personal mount!"

After saying this, Li Shimin seemed to be trying to prove that what he said was true.

He winked at the paper donkey, and the paper donkey immediately understood.

Raise your neck and open your mouth.

He called out to Changsun Wuji in unison.

"Ang ang!!"

That braying of the donkey was full of ups and downs.

It's clearly a paper donkey, yet it can make such a realistic braying sound, even with a tremor.

However, Changsun Wuji was no longer in the mood to be shocked by this.

A more crucial word came to mind.

God.

What kind of being is worthy of such a title?

Could he make the Tang emperor call him a divine ruler, and could he transform inanimate objects into mounts?

And when he saw his minister, he was dumbfounded.

Li Shimin was secretly pleased and nodded with great satisfaction.

Back when he first witnessed the God's methods, he was just like this.

Now that I see auxiliary machines like this too, I feel much better.

However, Li Shimin's smile quickly faded.

He leaned closer to Changsun Wuji and whispered a reminder.

"Auxiliary machine operator, do not make loud noises or behave in a rude manner."

"After all, the Divine Lord is right here!"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt a chill run down his spine.

Right here?

Does that mean that my every move just now was seen by the gods?

Changsun Wuji then nodded cautiously, even softening his breathing.

Following the direction Li Shimin indicated, he slowly turned his head to look.

A figure dressed in a blue Taoist robe stood there quietly.

She possessed an ethereal quality, making her stand out from the mundane world around her.

The moment Changsun Wuji saw Jiang Lin, he was completely mesmerized.

Although Jiang Lin did not speak or stage any grand spectacle.

Even the aura emanating from his body was concealed, returning to its original simplicity.

However, in the eyes of a powerful minister like Changsun Wuji, who had seen countless people, this was a different story.

The Taoist priest in front of me was simply standing there casually.

That natural flow of Taoist charm, that transcendent demeanor.

That alone is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary and saintly status.

"Auxiliary machine, snap out of it!"

Changsun Wuji was still staring blankly at Jiang Lin.

Li Shimin immediately spoke up and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

This forcibly dragged him back to reality from his dazed state.

At this moment, the shock still filled his pupils and lingered for a long time.

He turned his head and looked at Li Shimin, who was smiling.

Changsun Wuji swallowed hard, and finally asked, still puzzled.

They kept their voices extremely low, afraid of disturbing the divine procession on the other side.

"Your Majesty, when exactly did the Divine Lord arrive?"

"Your Majesty...how come I knew absolutely nothing about this?"

"This is so sudden!"

In fact, yesterday I was still discussing matters with His Majesty the Emperor at the Taiji Palace.

At that time, His Majesty was perfectly normal and never mentioned any divine ruler.

It's only been one night, how come such a deity has suddenly appeared?

This left Changsun Wuji completely baffled, feeling as if he had missed something.

Li Shimin simply smiled in response, appearing unfathomable.

"This is Si Zi's master."

"The Divine Lord is a true immortal, who has specially descended from the divine realm above the nine heavens to the Great Tang Dynasty today."

"This is a blessing for our Great Tang Dynasty, and also a blessing for the King of the Rhinoceros."

Upon hearing that the little princess had actually taken a deity as her master, Changsun Wuji was once again extremely shocked.

His mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg.

Princess Jinyang... actually became a disciple of a deity?

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun interjected.

She gave him a solemn and serious instruction.

"Brother, please don't spread this news, especially about Sizi becoming the disciple of the Divine Lord!"

"If word gets out and causes unnecessary trouble, or displeases the God, that would be bad."

Changsun Wuji naturally understood this perfectly, and nodded solemnly, his face full of seriousness.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."

"I will certainly not make a fuss, and I will not utter a single word that could affect the little princess's destiny to become an immortal."

He's not stupid; this is a stroke of luck with the gods!

After that, I saw that Changsun Wuji's emotions had calmed down a bit.

Empress Zhangsun then continued asking questions, returning to the main topic.

She looked at her brother's somewhat haggard face and asked with concern.

"Brother, why have you come to the palace so early today?"

"Look at how hurried you are, you're not even dressed properly in your court robes."

Li Shimin chimed in with his own words.

"Auxiliary machine, why are you here so early today?"

"I did not convene a court assembly today."

It should be noted that Li Shimin specially canceled today's morning court session in order to welcome the arrival of the divine ruler.

Logically speaking, Changsun Wuji should be at home at this time.

Why did you rush to the palace in such a hurry?

Only then did Changsun Wuji remember the purpose of his visit.

I was so overwhelmed by the paper donkey and the deity that I almost forgot about the important matter.

The shock on his face quickly faded.

He regained the worried look he had when he first entered.

He sighed, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Your Majesty and the Empress are unaware of this."

"Your Majesty, I did not intend to enter the palace to disturb you."

"Originally, I was only preparing to go to the Imperial Observatory."

"I want to go and ask the two Taoist masters, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, for their help."

Hearing Changsun Wuji mention the Imperial Observatory and that he still needed to find those two people, he was struck by their words.

Li Shimin immediately frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"Auxiliary machine, has it encountered some kind of trouble?"

"Why are you looking for Yuan Qing and the others?"

Changsun Wuji responded with a bitter expression.

"It's not that I have something wrong with myself."

"But...but Chong'er has a problem!"

"Chong'er... seems to have attracted some evil spirit!"
