MTL - What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?-v2 Chapter 437 two keys
Chapter 437 Two Keys
Master Wen agreed to Tang Lin's request, and there was no reason to refuse. However, the Northern Expedition did not start immediately, and it would take half a month for the army to gather and prepare supplies.
Tang Lin is not in a hurry, as long as he participates in it, he can complete his first phase of the task. Now, with a buffer period of half a month, Tang Lin felt that he needed to do some preparatory work during the time when Grand Master Wen went out for the expedition.
The battle of conferring the gods, in the final analysis, was still the perverse conduct of King Zhou. Spending people's energy to build the Deer Terrace and the Star Picking Tower, and then indulging in Daji's beauty, killing loyal ministers and generals one by one.
But in the final analysis, it is the biggest problem to spend people's resources to build a luxury palace.
The common people care how many of your officials die, even if you are a loyal minister like Bigan, you just cry for a while and it's over. As for torture such as burning and dissection of pregnant women, it will not have much impact, because the common people basically don't know what happened in the palace, and there is no such thing as the Internet in this world.
What really makes the people want to rebel is the excessive corvee.
In ancient times, productivity was low, even in this world with gods.
In the eyes of immortals, passing by and saving one person is a little merit, and saving ten people is not much more.
This kind of thing is just done casually, maybe we can save a little more when there is a catastrophe, but that is something that cannot be expected.
No gods will study the magic of developing productivity. They themselves will not be able to spend their eternity, and they will not think of the impact of creating a new crop, improving a farm tool, or inventing an internal combustion engine.
Therefore, the common people are still living a miserable life. They have to work non-stop every day to keep alive. A little sickness is almost equivalent to death.
Corvés are free laborers who bring their own dry food. The important labor force of the family is taken away, leaving only the old and weak women and children to barely support at home. It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, will the mother and child at home starve to death?
Moreover, the so-called corvee is very tiring work. Generally, corvee is used to build the city, starting from digging stones and digging soil, to repairing the stones and then building them. In this day and age, there are no machines, only manpower. Once the corvée is longer, the common people really want the whole family to die.
Qin Shihuang built a Great Wall to turn the Qin Dynasty against the whole world. This productivity is not as good as Qin Dynasty's Shang Dynasty. Naturally, it is also a deer platform that makes people's livelihood wither.
"If I change the ending, will it affect the Battle of the Conferred Gods?" Tang Lin began to seriously think about this question.
First of all, changing your destiny will definitely cost you, but it depends on how you change it. Like the Twelve Golden Immortals who explained the teachings, it is their destiny to overcome the catastrophe, but the consequences are different with different methods. If it weren't for doing too many unreasonable things about teaching and teaching, everyone should have survived the tribulation smoothly in the end, and then beheaded the three corpses to become the Da Luo Jinxian.
As a result, Hunyuan Jindou shaved them into mortals, and they had to start from scratch. Thanks to a few people who went to the west to teach gangsters, otherwise the end of the Twelve Golden Immortals can be said to have failed to cross the tribulation.
In the calamity, the things that change are different, and the consequences are also different.
Tang Lin circulated the cycle of life and death in the lotus dharma, and the meritorious golden body assisted Tang Lin to sense the changes in the fate of the world, and he soon realized something.
The Deer Terrace had to be built. If Tang Lin forcibly prevented King Zhou from building the Deer Terrace, it would completely erase this matter from history, and the cause and effect would be great.
At that time, I didn’t know if the meritorious golden body and the life-saving talisman bestowed by the saint could hold it.
This is one of the key issues, but another key is Daji. As long as King Zhou is going to die, Empress Nuwa will definitely send a nine-tailed fox to confuse King Zhou. At that time, even if there was Lutai, Daji would think of other ways to harm the Shang Dynasty.
Lutai and Daji are the two biggest hidden dangers, but Lutai has to be built, and Daji has to be possessed by the nine-tailed fox. Because both of these are pre-determined fates, if they want to change, the karma involved is too great, Tang Lin can't bear it.
If you don't even want your life, relying on the many cards and the golden body of merit, maybe you can really change the whole situation of the Conferred Gods, but Tang Lin feels that there is a 90% chance that he will die in the Battle of the Conferred Gods.
There must be some other way...
Tang Lin thought about it for a while, and really had an idea.
Early the next morning, Tang Lin found Grand Master Wen and said that he wanted to offer some treasures to King Zhou. King Zhou is the emperor of the world, and the people of the immortal family also have some respect for King Zhou. Tang Lin said it was a treasure offering, and the Grand Master didn't think it was strange.
Although King Zhou didn't know about Tang Lin's fame, he heard from the grand master that this man had heard a sage preach, disabled a golden immortal, and was of a very high seniority. Such a person must be treated well.
The main reason is Wen Taishi’s greatness. King Zhou knows very well that this is the real Anbang Dinghai magic needle. This Lihuo Taoist is still Wen Taishi’s uncle, can he still be an ordinary person?
King Zhou decided not to go to the early court, and directly sent civil and military officials to welcome Tang Lin, but this move was stopped by Wen Taishi. Wen Taishi felt that his uncle was only here to offer treasures, and it was not worth giving up the early court for this. Wouldn't that be an act of foolishness?
King Zhou had no choice but to meet Tang Lin in the main hall after the early court.
Tang Lin didn't mind either, he came only for King Zhou, and had nothing to do with civil and military officials.
When I met King Zhou, there were only a few servants in the hall. I heard that the grand master was probably busy preparing the army, so he didn't accompany him.
Tang Lin was also a little surprised when he saw King Zhou on the throne. This tyrant really looks good. King Zhou is tall and seems to have practiced martial arts. He has a strong body and a resolute and majestic face. He really looks like an emperor.
Tang Lin just made an appointment as chief judge and did not bow down, and King Zhou didn't have any opinions.
Immortals, of course, do not worship the emperor. It would be strange if Tang Lin knelt down and kowtowed to King Zhou.
"I heard what the grand master said, the elder wants to see the widow, what advice do I have?" King Zhou asked.
"Pindao Lihuo is a member of Jiejiao. I heard that seventy-two princes in Beihai rebelled. In order to save the people from suffering, Pindao went down the mountain to help. During the Northern Expedition, Pindao will go out with Wen Zhong's nephew." Tang Linxian Said the premise.
King Zhou was also happy when he heard this. The rebellion hit him in the face. Although the grand master was already stable, it would be a great thing to have another immortal to help.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal Elder. The people of our great merchants are grateful." King Zhou said politely.
Tang Lin saw that the atmosphere was good, so he turned to the main topic: "Your Majesty, the only major national event is sacrifice and military affairs. This Northern Expedition is related to the country's luck. Pindao wants to build an altar to pray for the country. It is called Lutai."
We can’t let King Zhou kill the people and make the people miserable, and we can’t stop building the Deer Terrace. If that’s the case, let’s build it ourselves.
