Chapter 71 Confidence "Sacrifice..." The old Dragon King listened to the young wizard in front of him speak and met the wizard's gaze at the same time. In those calm eyes, there was a hint of unsettling meaning. It was as if he was placed on the altar, ready to be offered to an unknown existence. This made the old Dragon King shudder. "Mage..." The old dragon king had some guesses in his mind, and spoke with difficulty: "You mean, the old dragon is... a sacrifice?" "I'm afraid that's the case." Jiang Lin looked at the old Dragon King in front of him, raised his hand and pointed at the offerings on the shrine. "The old Dragon King is in charge of the waters of West Lake. In Hangzhou, he is a righteous deity with merits."
"If there really is such a major change that affects the entire Hangzhou, the old Dragon King should be the first to bear the brunt... the first sacrifice." After that, it’s the City God… Jiang Lin added silently, no wonder Zen Master Dao Ji would protect the City God. It turned out that it was not only because of the importance of the City God, but also because, in King Song’s plan, the Dragon King of West Lake and the City God were the first targets. It was not until now that Jiang Lin began to see a glimpse of the ultimate purpose of King Song's plan. A sacrifice, a sacrifice that involves the Dragon King, the City God and other auspicious earth gods. The old Dragon King was a sacrifice, and the City God was also originally a sacrifice, but because of the existence of Zen Master Dao Ji, the name of the City God did not appear in Wang Daoren's mouth. "Mage, old dragon...what should we do?" For a moment, the old Dragon King was also panicked. He knew that when Jiang Lin came to him and asked for the Arctic Order right away, it must be a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be so big. Jiang Lin didn't say anything, just thought silently. The ghost fetus is a sacrifice, and the ghost soul is also a sacrifice. Regardless of the others, these two alone are enough to prove that what King Song wants to sacrifice is definitely not a good object. Then, the great turmoil that Zen Master Dao Ji wanted to express was most likely referring to this sacrifice. "wrong……" Jiang Lin suddenly raised his head. "What's wrong?" The old Dragon King asked hurriedly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. "It's very wrong." Jiang Lin stroked the teacup in his hand, looked at the old Dragon King, and said, "Whether you or the City God, you are both righteous gods appointed by the Heavenly Court. Using you to sacrifice to evil things..."
"Is King Song really not afraid of the wrath of the Heavenly Thunder Commander?" "Even if the Heavenly Court is shut down, it will not tolerate such things." "What exactly is it that King Song wants to offer sacrifice to?" Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King also became uneasy. According to the wizard, there are two possibilities. Or, all the speculations so far are wrong, and King Song has other plans. This is good news amidst bad news for the old Dragon King. Either... The evil creature that King Song wants to sacrifice has some confidence that it can swallow up two gods of fortune and earth as sacrifices! If it's the latter, then... The old Dragon King couldn't help but shudder. His eyes involuntarily turned to Jiang Lin, with a hint of earnestness in his eyes, and he really wanted to hear the first possibility from Jiang Lin's mouth. But the old Dragon King was disappointed. Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said softly, "Be prepared for the worst. King Song's plan will be fully deployed soon." Having said that, Jiang Lin stood up. "I still have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." "During this period of time, it would be best for the old Dragon King to stay in the Dragon Palace. If there are any changes, it will be convenient for me to coordinate." Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King nodded absentmindedly. Jiang Lin also understood. After all, no matter who heard such news, they would be distracted. But now, Jiang Lin had no time to comfort the old Dragon King. Instead, he had something more hurtful to say. "Old Dragon King, I need you as bait." Jiang Lin did not hesitate, but spoke frankly and directly: "You are one of the most direct targets of King Song's plan." "If King Song wants to make a move, I'm afraid he'll make the first move on you." “When change comes, hold on by whatever means you can think of, as long as possible.” "This is not a plea from me, but an order from me as a wizard from the Arctic Exorcism Institute." After saying that, regardless of the changes in the old Dragon King's expression, Jiang Lin walked out of the quiet room. But when he reached the threshold, he stopped, turned slightly and looked back. "When things become impossible, I will go with you." The old Dragon King raised his head and saw only an empty gate and Ao Run who looked somewhat at a loss. "Father..."
Ao Run didn’t know what his father and Jiang Lin talked about, but he knew that it must be a big deal, otherwise the two of them wouldn’t be so serious. "My daughter, leave now and go to Dongting Lake to look for your aunt. No matter what rumors you hear, do not come back unless your father sends you a message. Do you understand?" The old Dragon King didn't wait for Ao Run to speak, and said, "No matter what you think, you must listen to your father on this matter. There is no room for negotiation!" After saying this, the old Dragon King left the quiet room. Ao Run stood there in a daze, a feeling of powerlessness rising from his heart. But she couldn't do anything. ………… After leaving West Lake, Jiang Lin slowly walked towards his own Taoist temple. He didn't use any magical powers, he just hurried on his way. Now, Jiang Lin needs some time to sort out everything and prepare himself mentally. There is no doubt that King Song, who has been warned to scare others, will launch a plan in the near future. Both sides are well aware of this. What we need to compete for now is the foundation of both sides. Jiang Lin counted on his fingers. On my side, there are myself, Bai Suzhen, Zen Master Dao Ji, and the one from Jinshan Temple. Although there are some disputes between Taoism and Buddhism, at least Fahai and Dao Ji will not sing the opposite tune at this time. Even people from the Taoist sect have never denied that there are Buddhist practitioners with great compassion. In addition, there are the City God and the Old Dragon King, but these two are the targets of King Song's layout, and there is no guarantee that King Song will have any means to restrain them. Therefore, it is not included in the available combat force for the time being. In addition, there is also Zhong Kui, Zhong Zhenjun. "Come to think of it, I am also just making up the numbers." Jiang Lin looked down at his palms and smiled bitterly. Compared with Bai Suzhen, Zen Master Dao Ji and Fahai, my strength is still not enough. As for Prince Song, the only things on display are the retainers of Prince Song's mansion, but even a fool knows that those retainers are not the point. The key point is the existence that King Song wants to worship. This is the core of this great change. Jiang Lin knew his own confidence, and King Song must have known it too. Even so, King Song still wanted to carry out his plan. He was either gambling or had greater confidence. "What exactly is King Song going to sacrifice?" Jiang Lin thought to himself that although King Song was in the dark and Jiang Lin was in the light, Jiang Lin was not actually very panicked.
Looking up, I saw the extremely familiar Ziwei Temple. Jiang Lin raised his hand and pushed the door open. With a creaky sound, he saw the majestic statue of Wang Lingguan. He took a deep breath and saluted meticulously. "The disciple pays homage to the teacher and prays that the teacher will look down upon him." (End of this chapter)
