Chapter 1652: The Consequences of Being Forsaken by God
No matter how powerful this giant monster is, what does it matter? In front of the gods, King Yao's control is extremely immature, just like a five or six-year-old child playing with a toy car.
The effect of this attack was similar to the explosion Qingyang had just encountered in the afternoon. The guards around King Yao were staggering, and even though they were protected by Yuanli, they still had blood in their mouths and noses and were dizzy and had headaches.
There was a big crack in the ground, like a punctured belly.
This is because the Frost Fairy Palace itself is protected by a formation, otherwise the damage would be even more serious.
Among all the people, it was King Yao who suffered the least damage. He just saw stars after being knocked down, but suffered no substantial damage. Lang Zhongling was loyal to his master and flew over first to block most of the damage for him, but he himself was dying and unable to move. In addition, the inner elixir in King Yao's hand glowed faintly, which offset the shock caused by the trident.
Wu Linghe turned around calmly, and a huge shadow reappeared behind him, with a flower basket and a poisonous snake.
The temple soldiers behind Bai Tan knelt down in a large group, calling her "Goddess".
This is the goddess Fenghe, not Miaozhantian.
It pointed at King Yao and switched to the majestic voice that only gods can speak: "Capture him!"
Goddess Fenghe gave the order personally, and everyone had no doubts and rushed forward like crazy.
How come in the blink of an eye, the enemy is strong and we are weak? Yao Wang clenched his inner elixir and shouted, "Save me!"
As soon as the first word came out, the giant viper that was still outside the courtyard turned into a wisp of white mist and fled back to King Yao.
The trident was three-quarters buried in the ground, and it pulled it out with a sweep, sweeping away a large number of soldiers.
Goddess Fenghe took two steps forward, raised her head and said to King Yao: "Why don't you kneel to see me in person?"
Yao Wang was standing at a higher position than it, but judging from its demeanor and posture, Yao Wang should have been crawling in front of it.
The old king's eyes were stung by the flying snow and gravel, and he glared at her fiercely, like an old wolf at the end of his rope:
"Why! Is it that the temple I built for you is not enough, or that the offerings I gave you are not enough? Why do you want to destroy my foundation and seize my kingdom?"
He roared the last few words with endless anger and grievance.
He couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out. Yao Kingdom was the only powerful country in the Golden Plains. Without it, who could the gods use to fulfill their will and plunder the nightmare spirits of all living beings?
"Is this Yao Kingdom really your foundation, your kingdom? As long as the gods nod, it can be called Yao Kingdom, Shen Kingdom, or any other country." Goddess Feng He's tone was flat but sarcasm was hidden in her voice. "You are sixty years old, but you are more naive than a baby. That's why you are in this situation today."
Qingyang and Bai Tan were both present, so weren't these words a warning to them?
King Yao can sit firmly on the throne because the gods allow it.
If the gods disapprove, the chair will change hands.
The gods gave Yao the most important task, but it tried every way to shirk it. So no matter how many temples Yao built for the gods and how many offerings he made, it was just perfunctory! The gods knew that he was far from respectful enough to the gods in his heart.
His ancestors were very well-behaved and knew how to put the needs of the gods first.
But two hundred years later, their unworthy descendants forgot about it.
"When serving the gods, the most important thing is the intention. Your ancestors warned you to build a temple before building a palace, but you forgot it completely." Goddess Fenghe pointed at him, "You——"
The last two words pierced into Yao Wang's heart like a nail:
“——disrespectful!”
"I..." King Yao opened his mouth and choked in his throat.
There is indeed such a rule passed down by royal families throughout the ages.
It not only highlights the supreme status of the gods, but also expresses the royal family's admiration for the gods.
The Yao kings of all generations have built too many temples for the gods! Just the Miaozhan Temple alone has been built by the Yao kings since they came to power!
The only exception is the eastward expansion of Tianshui City.
Time is tight, the task is heavy, and the treasury is out of money. Yao Ting must work frantically within a limited time to attract a large amount of money from across the country. Only then can he give priority to expanding the royal palace!
Only by building the royal palace first can we reassure the people and make them willing to pay first. How can building a temple have this effect?
Besides, the temple is not unrepaired, the construction drawings have been drawn up!
This is just one exception, just one!
How could he have expected such serious consequences?
But King Yao couldn't say any of these words. As a king, he had already understood the truth:
If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
The gods were disgusted with him.
The gods were disgusted with the Yao Kingdom.
Goddess Fenghe pointed at the giant snake and said, "You secretly took in the physical form of Master Qianhuan. This is ironclad evidence that Yaosheng has a double heart!"
The Yao Kingdom has been bathed in the grace of Miaozhantian for more than a hundred years, but it secretly hid the Dharma body of the Lingshan Immortal in the Yuquan Palace and used it as a weapon to fight against the gods!
This kind of indecision and trying to please both sides is tantamount to betrayal to the gods!
King Yao could only swallow his anger and put on a humble face, "That was a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! Several decades ago, a master gave this Dharma body to the late king, saying that it was extremely powerful and could protect the Yao Kingdom from a disaster of national destruction, but it had to be placed in an icy place and its life essence had to be extracted regularly. So the late king took the opportunity of renovating the Yuquan Palace to suppress it under the icy spring, and transplanted a pear blossom tree demon beside the spring to supply it with nutrients."
Qingyang and Bai Tan, who were standing nearby, finally understood after hearing this.
No wonder King Yao was so concerned about the old pear blossom in Yuquan Palace and spent a lot of effort to nourish it. It turned out that the old pear tree was just a channel, absorbing various nutrients and transforming them into life essence, which were then sucked away by the giant viper.
Qingyang thought of the exhaustion and helplessness he felt from the old pear tree before it died.
After being sucked for nearly sixty years, this kind-hearted old tree demon could no longer hold on.
No wonder after the old pear blossoms withered, King Yao kept trying to transplant various flowers and trees and even tree monsters to Yuquan Palace. It turned out that he was afraid that the giant snake would not be able to survive and would not get any nutrients.
Goddess Fenghe's eyes flickered: "Who is the person who took out this Dharma body?"
This person must be related to Qian Huan Zhenren. The gods are very interested.
"I don't know. This matter is not recorded in any documents. It was only orally told to me by my father on his deathbed." King Yao said anxiously, "I will do it tomorrow, no, I will order the whole country to build the Temple of Miaozhan God and the Temple of Fenghe Goddess right now, increase the offerings and devote all our efforts! I will, I will make the gods satisfied!"
He pointed at Bai Tan and said, "I have been governing the country for decades, how come I am not more familiar with it than this shameless guy?"
He also wanted to try to win back the favor of the gods.
Goddess Fenghe smiled slightly: "Are you still loyal to the goddess and willing to crawl at her feet?"
"Of course, of course!" King Yao's face was filled with fear and trepidation. "My loyalty to the goddess is witnessed by the sun and the moon!"
"Very good. In that case, let's see if your actions are consistent with your words—" Goddess Feng He stuck out her chin, "Your men are still struggling in vain. Let them kneel down."
