Chapter 237: The Imperial Star is Dark
Jade Ding Tianzun really couldn't understand why he was so unlucky to meet such a boring and shameless Tianzun.
Among the Heavenly Lords he knew, there were shameless ones, and quite a few of them, but there was absolutely no one as boring as this one.
It seems that there is no such a bored Tianzun in Tongtian Sect. Generally, Tianzuns are either practicing or teaching disciples. No matter how bored they are, they will just go to their own kingdom of God to enjoy themselves. They are not like this Tianzun, who just runs out for a walk and scans around with his spiritual sense when he is bored.
The most outrageous thing was that this guy seemed to have calculated the time accurately and came just when he was refining the elixir. As a result, he spent more than a month to refine one furnace of elixir, and even wasted seven furnaces. He was so depressed that he really wanted to vomit blood.
Why, why was he so unlucky, meeting such a ridiculously boring Heavenly Master? Why was he staying well in his own cave, but was suddenly sent to the mortal world by his master? Why did he seem to be unlucky as soon as he arrived in this mortal world, and everything went wrong for him? Why?
Jiajing was actually very depressed at this moment.
These demon gods of the Hongmeng Sect are not only extremely greedy, but also do nothing.
He just wanted these guys to kill the rebel king Chen Jiu. The price they asked for was ridiculously high. He didn't even know how much he had paid for the treasures, young boys and girls, and young men and women.
In the end, this group of guys even took away the control of the Ming Dynasty from him. They asked him to provide magical herbs and elixirs, to order people to search for natural treasures everywhere, to recruit boys and girls, to hold a beauty pageant to select beauties from all over the world, and so on. He gave them everything he could.
As a result, no one knows how much time has passed, and not only did these guys fail to kill Chen Jiu, they also watched Chen Jiu take over Yanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Nanzhili!
This is a typical case of taking money but not doing the job. He is even more corrupt and incompetent than the corrupt officials under him.
Although the corrupt officials under him are greedy, if he really wants to get something done, they will still try their best to get it done for him.
It seemed like these guys had never considered how to deal with Chen Jiu at all. They seemed to be here just to reap the benefits.
If these guys were really corrupt officials under his command, he would have ordered them to be dragged away and cut into pieces long ago. Unfortunately, they were not corrupt officials under his command, and he was their apprentice!
Alas, what should we do if this goes on? We have lost Nanzhili, but these guys are only busy refining pills and practicing, and don't care about this matter at all.
This Daoxing Tianzun was very righteous at first, and taught him seriously for several days like a true mentor.
As a result, after teaching him the general idea, I let him figure it out on his own.
This guy treated him like a servant, calling him over every day saying that he was urging him to practice, but in fact he was just ordering him around, asking him to do this and that, and asking for this and that, which made him almost annoyed to death.
Jiajing had no choice but to run over and ask, "Master, Nanzhili has been taken away by the rebel king Chen Jiu. Should we think of a way to take it back?"
You are the emperor, but you raised such a big traitor. You can't deal with him yourself, so you have to let us deal with him. You caused the death of two of my three apprentices. Do you know that?
Daoxing Tianzun was secretly annoyed in his heart, but on the surface he said dignifiedly: "This matter is unusual. I don't know what Tongtian Sect is planning. I have to look at the sky tonight and make a careful calculation. We will discuss it tomorrow."
What would you count?
Jiajing had no choice but to shut up.
Daoxing Tianzun came to the observation deck in the dead of night, looked at the sky full of stars, and began to calculate carefully.
As a result, as he calculated, he couldn't help but frown.
The Emperor Star was dim, and the light of the bright moon was above it, making it almost invisible!
This is a call for the impending demise of a dynasty!
Why is this happening?
The light of the bright moon cannot represent a certain person. There is no such thing in observing the stars. The stars in the sky represent people. If the bright moon represents people, then who among the stars in the sky can compare with them? Which star can be brighter than the bright moon? This is impossible.
So what does the light of the bright moon represent?
Could it be that he represents Chen Jiu?
This is also impossible!
If Chen Jiu had the light of a bright moon, he would have illuminated this world long ago. How could he have been a hunter in a mountain village for more than ten years, not only being poorly clothed and hungry, but also being forced to kill officials and gods?
The bright moon has always been there, and he has never heard that the light of the bright moon has dimmed in the past ten years or so.
Then why can't he calculate anything about Chen Jiu?
He couldn't even figure out which star in the sky represented Chen Jiu.
What is going on?
He sighed helplessly and began to watch the atmosphere of the capital city below.
This sight made him feel chilled to the bone.
The capital city is surprisingly full of bad luck, especially the outer city, which is deserted and like a ghost town. It is filled with yin energy and even ghosts can practice cultivation in it!
And the inner city, for some reason, is full of abandoned houses and resentment.
The negative energy from the outer city and the resentment from the inner city mixed together, making the entire capital city full of bad luck, and the bad luck even spread to the imperial city and the palace.
You must not be contaminated by bad luck, if you are, you will be in big trouble.
No wonder seven of their Hongmeng Sect’s True Lords died when they came here. They were contaminated by bad luck and went out to kill people. It would be strange if they didn’t die!
And his senior brother Jade Ding Zhenren was extremely unlucky. The Tianzun from Tongtian Sect would come specifically when his senior brother was refining pills, so his senior brother only managed to refine a furnace of pills in a month.
At first they couldn't figure out what was going on.
Now he finally understood that it was because this capital city was too unlucky. Being contaminated by too much bad luck, he was naturally extremely unlucky.
How could this be? Why is the capital city in the mortal world so full of bad luck?
This must be made clear. If the bad luck in the capital is not eliminated, they may all die here!
Daoxing Tianzun frowned and pondered for a while, then he extended his spiritual sense to search carefully in the capital city.
Not long after, he discovered a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who was patrolling the inner city with his men.
At this time, the King of Nine Mountains has rebelled, so naturally there is a curfew in the capital. At night, ordinary people, including officials, are not allowed to go out on the streets. The Beijing Garrison and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are patrolling everywhere in the inner and outer cities. This is actually normal.
However, this captain of the Imperial Guard was very abnormal.
This guy's face was full of hostility and his eyes were full of murderous intent. It was obvious that he had committed a lot of murders!
He wanted to find out what was going on in the capital, but he didn't want Jiajing and the others to know, so naturally if he asked, he would have to make the person disappear.
Very good, it’s you!
Today I am doing justice for the heavens, doing good deeds and getting rid of the bad luck on my body.
Daoxing Tianzun moved his mind, and the Jinyiwei captain was quickly wrapped up by his spiritual consciousness and brought to the observation platform.
This fellow was quite discerning. He was a member of the Imperial Guard and a captain at that. Naturally, he had seen Daoxing Tianzun, who was the emperor's master and a master from the divine world.
He quickly put away the anger on his face and the fierceness in his eyes, and nodded and flattered: "God, you summoned me here because you have something to tell me. No matter what it is, God, just tell me, I won't even frown even if I have to climb mountains of swords and plunge into boiling water."
You are indeed a villain!
Daoxing Tianzun said majestically: "I just want to ask you something, you just need to answer truthfully."
It turns out it’s that simple.
The captain of the Jinyiwei nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, God, please ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."
Daoxing Tianzun nodded slightly, and then asked: "What's going on in the outer city? Why are most of the houses empty?"
The captain of the Jinyiwei said without hesitation: "The outer city is where the noble families gather, but those noble families have received all the favors but have no intention of returning the favor. They all pretend to obey and secretly disobey Your Majesty. They don't take Your Majesty seriously and even act like local tyrants and oppress the common people.
His Majesty was so angry with these wealthy families that he ordered them all to be driven to Japan. Once the wealthy families moved away, the peddlers and wealthy businessmen who made money from the wealthy families had no money to earn, so they all moved away as well, and the outer city became empty. "
Jiajing, are you sick?
You can drive away the people from the aristocratic families , but you have to quickly fill the outer cities with people. You've made the outer cities of the capital look like a ghost town. How can you be the emperor?
Daoxing Tianzun cursed inwardly for a while, then asked: "What about the inner city? Why are there so many empty houses? Moreover, there is resentment in those empty houses."
Uh, this .
The captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't dare to say a word.
What's going on? You want me to kill you right now and replace you with someone else, right?
Daoxing Tianzun couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why are you silent?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked around carefully, and then he realized that they were on an observation deck hundreds of feet high, and that the people below would definitely not be able to hear what they were saying.
He hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Most of them are from the families of upright officials who were executed by His Majesty's decree, and civil and military officials who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disliked."
Clear stream?
Daoxing Tianzun was puzzled and said, "Qingliu refers to honest officials, right? Why did Jiajing order the execution of so many honest officials?"
Uh, this.
The captain of the Jinyiwei was determined to take risks, and said, "Those upright people like to give advice and trouble Your Majesty at every turn. Your Majesty was fed up with it, so he executed them one by one."
Jiajing, you are really ill. You kill people when they try to persuade you!
It seems that these upright officials advised Jiajing for the sake of the country and the people, but were killed by Jiajing in the end, so they were full of resentment.
Daoxing Tianzun asked again: "Then how do you deal with the civil and military officials that your Crown Prince dislikes?"
Alas, what can I say, that guy is not a human being!
The captain of the Imperial Guard thought about it anxiously, and then said simply: "Behead, confiscate the property, and exile the men to the frontier. The women, uh, that."
OK, you are really cruel. Just because you don't like someone, you treat him like this. It would be strange if he is not resentful!
Daoxing Tianzun sighed secretly, and then said coldly: "You know so much, you have done these things a lot, right?"
I.
The captain of the Jinyiwei was so frightened that his face changed drastically. He hurriedly explained: "God, I am a member of the Jinyiwei and must obey your orders!"
Humph, do you have to commit so much murder just to follow orders?
Daoxing Tianzun simply raised his hand, took this guy into the Fire Kingdom, and burned him to ashes with one fire.
He is actually acting in the name of justice, and the bad luck he has should be less severe.
What should we do next? How can we get rid of the bad luck in the capital?
Daoxing Tianzun frowned and pondered all night. At about 5 a.m. the next morning, he summoned Jiajing to the Wanshou Palace.
Jiajing thought that Daoxing Tianzun was looking for him to discuss the affairs of Nanzhili.
Unexpectedly, Daoxing Tianzun said with a gloomy face: "What's going on with the outer city of the capital? Why is it empty? Don't you know that it will breed negative energy?"
I don’t have time to care about those things.
Jiajing said helplessly: "Master, this is indeed my disciple's negligence."
Daoxing Tianzun snorted coldly, "Since you know you have neglected it, make up for it immediately. Aren't you going to conquer the rebel king Chen Jiu? Aren't you going to take back Nanzhili? Immediately recruit 500,000 elite garrison troops and have them train in the outer city. Use their masculine energy to dispel the yin energy in the outer city."
That’s a good idea.
Jiajing nodded repeatedly and said, "Disciple will follow Master's instructions and do it later."
Daoxing Tianzun said coldly: "What's going on in the inner city? So many houses are empty and the resentment is overwhelming."
this.
Jiajing pretended to think carefully and said nothing.
Daoxing Tianzun saw this and snorted coldly, "Don't think that your master can't predict it. Call back the families of those officials who died unjustly immediately, return the houses to them, compensate them with gold and silver, and let them live a good life."
Aren't you making me slap myself in the face?
Jiajing said helplessly: "Disciple will follow the master's teachings."
Daoxing Tianzun immediately waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s do it quickly.”
Didn’t you say we would discuss the matter of Nanzhili today?
Jiajing had no choice but to leave quickly.
Daoxing Tianzun looked at his back and couldn't help but sneered in his heart: "What bad luck!"
