Chapter 1854 Shocking news
Yaodu, a small building by a secluded lake.
No matter how turbulent Yaodi is now, Youhu Cottage remains stable, as always.
It was daylight and the palace messenger sent by Bai Tan had just left. Qingyang walked back to the hermitage on Huaji Island when suddenly he had an idea.
It seems a little bad.
She casually took out a set of jade bones and started divination. This set of sixteen pieces, white with a hint of green, is also called a divination card.
No matter how many times she divined this time, it was always a sign of "danger" and "great chaos".
The land itself was already in chaos, but the source of the disaster she predicted was—
On the west side.
What's to the west?
At this moment, the leader of the Qingwei, Yuan Xuan, rushed in and whispered:
"Master Xiao sent a message, Master Liang entered the main hall today, and suddenly his mouth and eyes became crooked and he fainted!"
Qingyang was startled: "Master Liang?"
Liang Zhushi has the highest authority in Miaozhantian Temple. Even though Yaodi is in such a mess, he is still pampered and does not suffer any trouble. You know, when Yao Wang was alive, he always fought with Liang Zhushi, openly and secretly. After Yao Wang died, all forces wanted to win the support of the goddess, and they all showed great respect to the temple.
This is the most glorious time for Lord Liang, why did he suddenly faint?
"What happened?"
"Master Xiao said something big has happened. Please come to the temple as soon as possible to discuss it in person."
As soon as possible? Qingyang looked at the jade bone on the table, feeling ominous: "Does Bai Tan know?"
"I didn't tell him."
Qingyang immediately stood up and took a shawl: "Let's go."
The rumble of the carriage went towards the old capital.
The road ahead seemed extremely desolate. The plain that was excavated to build the new city was still the same as it was originally. No one had touched it, except that some weeds had grown on the bare soil.
This was a grand project at the time, but it was left unfinished because of the war, and no one has filled the gap to this day.
Qingyang's carriage drove to the city gate. Along the way, he only met a few pedestrians, all of whom were hurrying along with their heads down.
There are many people in the city, but the busy and comfortable atmosphere of the past is gone. Seven out of ten shops on the street are closed, the eyes of the citizens have become indifferent, and no one is chatting on the street.
In order to fight the war, in just three months, Bai Tan had recruited soldiers and collected grain from the old capital several times.
Using the word "征" is just a more decent way of speaking.
Even though this was the richest place in the entire Yao Kingdom, after being forcibly expropriated several times, prices in the city inevitably soared and people's livelihood declined.
Only the Miaozhan Temple was as lively and bustling as ever.
The streets and alleys in front of and behind the temple are full of people, some sitting, some kneeling, some praying, some burning incense, all seeking the protection of the gods.
Qingyang walked through the group of people and was welcomed into the back hall by the temple priest.
As soon as she entered, Xiao, the waiter, came to greet her: "You are finally here."
Qingyang saw that his eyes were wandering, his face was pale, and even his breathing was a little heavy, so he knew something was wrong: "What happened?"
Master Xiao was transferred from the collapsed Xilin Temple. He is currently serving as the deputy of Master Liang. Normally, he is not an ignorant person, but why is he so scared now?
Xiao, the chief attendant, first drove everyone else out of the hall, then led Qingyang inside, whispering, "In the afternoon, when Envoy Liang was presiding over a worship ceremony, the statue of the goddess in the center of the hall suddenly broke, shoulder to shoulder, and the upper half rolled down, almost hitting Envoy Liang, causing chaos in the hall."
When Qingyang heard this, his heart sank.
The main statue in the temple has been cast under the spell of the gods. Seeing the statue is like seeing the god himself. How could it suddenly break?
Is this a bad omen, or...?
"and then?"
"Liang immediately stopped the worship and chanting, went to the inner hall to burn incense and pray to the gods, and then he fainted." Xiao, the chief attendant, swallowed his saliva, "before he fainted, he grabbed my hand and said, 'It's over, it's over'! He was very scared."
Qingyang followed him into the depths of the inner hall, where there was a small hut with a shrine to Miaozhantian. This was where Lord Liang usually communicated with the gods.
It was here that Liang Zhushi fainted and has been carried away for treatment.
Qingyang stared at the shrine with a frown on his face.
The statue of Miaozhantian enshrined here has the same expressions and movements as the statue of Miaozhantian in the Pantheon of Heaven. He holds a golden scale in his hands and looks solemn.
But now, the statue had cracked, and the clay golden scale had broken into several pieces. The lifelike one-eye on the scale had been smashed to pieces.
This is a bad omen, a very bad omen.
Qingyang tried to light the incense and lamp on the altar, but he couldn't light it.
Master Xiao was sweating profusely: "I just prayed with all my strength, but I didn't get any response from the goddess."
It was normal for the goddess not to respond. But Liang, who was in charge of the overall situation, suddenly fainted, and Xiao, the servant, was also panicked, so he asked Qingyang to come over.
Until recently, Qingyang has been working closely with Miaozhan Heavenly Temple to jointly deal with the situation in Yaodi.
Moreover, she is the former chief state teacher of Beiga and has rich life experience. Who else can Master Xiao invite if not her?
Qingyang took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Looking at all these strange signs, I'm afraid the goddess is in danger."
She didn't say "encountered an accident", which is already an art of consideration.
Even in her long life, she rarely encountered such bizarre and terrifying things. She dared not imagine what kind of turmoil would happen in the heaven and the human world if Miaozhantian really fell.
Upon hearing this, Master Xiao's face turned pale, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.
The goddess is in trouble? No, no, no, how is this possible!
But, but how do you explain this scene?
Qingyang was about to speak when he suddenly felt something strange and raised his wrist to check:
The red rope on his hand moved slightly.
She put down her hand and said to Xiao, "You go out first. I will ask other gods."
Xiao was stunned. She urged impatiently, "Get out!"
When there was no one else in the room, she closed the doors and windows, took out a statue and placed it on the altar, muttering a few words.
At this time, if you light the incense lamp, it will be lit.
Qingyang lit a stick of incense and sighed.
The smoke was straight at first, then tilted slightly in mid-air, and then gathered into a facial mask.
Tong Ming Zhenjun.
Without waiting for Qingyang to ask, Master Tongming spoke first:
"Miao Zhantian has fallen."
Even though Qingyang had expected this, his face changed drastically and his heart started beating wildly when he heard it.
"All the gods who descended to the mortal world with her also perished, including my subordinate god Shimei!"
Even with Qingyang's calmness, he took a deep breath and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and he was able to calm his mind: "Inverted Sea?"
"It just happened a short time ago, and the process is unclear, but Saint Lingxu believes that it was Qianhuan who did it!" True Lord Tongming said, "Miao Zhantian and others did not send back any news before they fell, and they cannot be located. This should be an accident that happened in the immortal cave."
More than a dozen gods came down to earth, but not one of them returned, and all of them died!
The power contained in this news is truly astonishing.
Qingyang's mouth was dry: "Is Master Qianhuan so powerful?"
