Chapter 333 Temple
Yuan Guocai yawned: "Since you have to trust them so much, I can't let you drive them back. If you have time, go to the Ministry of War to handle the military status of these people. What I just told you is not aimed at any of you, but a kind reminder. I hope the Lion Flame Army will not trust others easily, because the soldiers are never tired of deceit. There is no hurry to do these things, and I will ask the Ministry of War to help you make up for the lack of weapons and armor from the Lion Flame Army."
As he said that, Yuan Guocai stared at Jiang Lie again and said, "I said that I am not in a hurry to do these things. I specially called you to talk to you alone, just to tell you something more anxious."
Jiang Lie felt an ominous premonition in his heart and asked, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you anxious about?"
Yuan Guocai turned his head and gave Yang Nengyan a wink: "Eunuch Yang, come and explain it clearly to Jiang Dashen."
Yang Nengyan nodded and said, "Master Jiang, according to reliable information, there is a temple in Jinshan County called the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple."
Those who should come will always come. Since Jiang Lie heard about the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple, he knew that Yuan Guocai would have to find this fault sooner or later, but he still pretended not to know: "Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple? What's wrong? Does this temple have anything to do with me?"
Yang Nengyan responded: "The Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple has a great relationship with you, Jiang Dashang. The Bone-Erosion Fire God worshipped in the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple is named Jiang Lie."
Jiang Lie pretended to be stupid and said, "So coincidental? I thought I was the only one who could use the name Jiang Lie in the world. I didn't expect that there would be a god named Jiang Lie. This is really a coincidence."
Yang Nengyan shook his head: "This Jiang Lie is not the same name as you, but you are yourself. There are deeds engraved in the temple. He once led the Royal Lion Flame Army of the Divine Lion Army to subdue the tiger spirit and save the people of Jinshan. This Jiang Lie can only be you."
Jiang Lie nodded and asked, "Although I was worshipped in that temple, I have not received half of the money for incense and oil. If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known that this thing exists. Then what's wrong with this? Is there anything wrong with this temple?"
"The problem is big!" Yang Nengyan said arrogantly, "The existence of this temple means that in the minds of the people of Jinshan County, you, Jiang Lie, is the Bone-Erosion Fire God. What is the God? God is above all mortals! The emperor is the emperor, but he dare not call him a god. Although Jiang Dashen is a capable general of the Divine Lion Kingdom, he is also a minister of the emperor. How dare he be called the Bone-Erosion Fire God?"
Jiang Lie argued with reason: "You also know that it is like this in the minds of the people of Jinshan County. The name of the Bone-Erosion Fire God is not my self-proclaimed. How can I build a sacred temple for myself? How can I call myself the Bone-Erosion Fire God? That's what the people are making fun of. What do they know? How can I care about this kind of thing?"
Yang Nengyan shook his head and said, "Don't think this is a trivial matter. This matter is not a trivial matter. Do you think the people are just making fun of it. Do you think the people don't know anything, but how many thieves have been the most inconspicuous people from ancient times to the present? The people who gave you the title of the God of Bone-eroding Fire means that you are a god in their minds. God is greater than the emperor, and the people of Jinshan County think you are greater than the emperor! However, you are a minister, and the emperor is the king! The king of a country is the highest status of a country!"
Although he knew that a problem could not be avoided, Jiang Lie found out what Yang Nengyan’s logic was not strict and asked, “Eunuch Yang, do you think in the same family, does the mother have a higher status or the son have a higher status?”
Yang Nengyan said without hesitation: "Of course, the mother has a higher status. Without a mother, where can the son come from? The son was born to her mother, so the one who is a mother must be older than her son."
Jiang Lie smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Yang just said that the king of a country is the highest status in a country? And the mother's status is always higher than that of a son? So the question is, the emperor is the king of a country, the person with the highest status in the Divine Lion Kingdom. This is beyond doubt, right? What about the empress dowager? The empress dowager is the emperor's mother, and the empress dowager has a higher status than the person with the highest status? How can this be said? Isn't this a contradiction?"
Yuan Guocai said, "Jiang Lie, you are not talking nonsense. How can you talk about this matter the same? Anyway, my ministers will never have any names like gods or immortals. You also know Yi Zhongsanxian. He gave up his official position and retired to the mountains and forests to call himself an immortal. When he was a minister, he could not be a true immortal. As my minister, the same is true. You cannot be called the Bone-Erosion Fire God. If you are willing to be this Bone-Erosion Fire God, then you have to leave the Divine Lion Kingdom and not be a subject of the Divine Lion Kingdom."
Jiang Lie replied: "Then please give me a clear way and tell me what to do."
Yuan Guocai said seriously: "I don't know what to do. You can smash the temple or demolish the temple, but I think this is far from enough. The visible bone-eroding fire god disappeared, and the invisible bone-eroding fire god in the heart may not disappear naturally."
Jiang Lie stood up and said, "I will leave for Jinshan County now. I will definitely bring you a satisfactory reply to Your Majesty! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"
As he said that, Jiang Lie left Zhiyuan Palace, left the palace, and rode his horse straight to the headquarters of the Lion Flame Army.
At the headquarters of the Lion Flame Army, Duan Biao was teaching Jiang Nianheng seriously to look at the map. When he saw Jiang Lie coming, he quickly saluted: "Master, how about it?"
Jiang Lie sighed and said, "What can it be done? The emperor sent the seventh prince to replace Lei Zi and installed a surveillance person next to me. This is not the most urgent task, but the most urgent task is the Temple of Bone-Erosion Fire God."
Duan Biao widened his eyes: "The emperor is really looking for trouble! I knew this bone-eroding fire temple was a problem!"
Jiang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "There is no choice but to go to Jinshan County. Although Master Yan said he was willing to take the blame, I don't want to implicate him. He does have iron coupons on the alchemy book, but if Yuan Guocai wants to get someone, the iron coupons on the alchemy book will be ignored. I have to solve this problem myself, and I don't feel at ease to hand it over to others. Brother Biao, you have to accompany me for your hard work."
Duan Biao smiled and said, "Master, look at what you said. Wherever you go, you will naturally go wherever you go."
Jiang Lie nodded: "Then go back to their homes to pack their luggage, pack up, and meet at my house. Nianheng, go, go home!"
Let’s skip the gossip, and Jiang Lie and Duan Biao were wearing casual clothes and luggage, and rode their horses to Jinshan County early that morning.
As soon as they entered Jinshan County, Jiang Lie and Duan Biao found the county government directly.
The servant at the gate of Jinshan County Government Office stopped Jiang Duan and the others, and one of them asked, "Is there anything you have to do?"
Jiang Lie clasped his fists and said, "Please inform me, we are here to find the county master."
The servant asked, "Who is there any professional job to find a county master?"
Duan Biao said anxiously: "What do you do? Just tell you Lord Yu. Where did you come from so much nonsense? The person who came was General Jiang of the Lion Flame Army. Go and inform Lord Yu quickly, don't miss the big thing!"
Since there is a bone-eroded fire god temple in Jinshan County, Jiang Lie's image is naturally supreme in the minds of Jinshan people. No one dares to pretend to be Jiang Lie if they eat Xiongxin Leopard. So the servant hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's Jiang Dashen who is visiting, how negligent it is! Hurry up, go and tell the master that Jiang Dashen is here!"
While talking, Jiang Lie and Duan Biao came to the back hall of the county government with a dedicated guide.
Jinshan County Magistrate Yu Xinhuang said with a smile: "Welcome to Marshal Jiang to return triumphantly! Marshal Jiang's heroic deeds on the battlefield have heard of him. Marshal Jiang's ability to visit the county government will make the glory here! "
Jiang Lie took a seat without hesitation and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu doesn't have to say too many polite words. I'm here today, because I have something to do."
Yu Xinhuang personally handed Jiang Lie tea and asked, "I wonder what can help Jiang Damao Jiang? As long as the Xiaguan can do it, I will do my best to serve Jiang Damao Jiang!"
Jiang Lie took a sip of tea and said seriously: "There is a bone-eroded fire god temple in Jinshan County, which is my ancestral temple. Lord Yu should know it. The emperor has some opinions on this bone-eroded fire god temple, so let me deal with it."
Yu Xinhuang asked: "What is the emperor's opinion on the Temple of Bone-Erosion Fire?"
Jiang Lie sneered and said, "The Emperor said that the existence of this temple means that I am a god in the hearts of the people. The god's status is higher than that of the emperor, but I am the emperor's subject and my status cannot be higher than that of the emperor. The emperor is deliberately looking for trouble, so I can only spoil him. So I plan to burn this bone-eroding fire temple."
This decision was the result of Jiang Lie discussing with Duan Biao on the way.
The temple of the Bone-Erosion Fire God is worshipped. The Bone-Erosion Fire God is naturally a god of fire, and the symbol of power is flame. If the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple is burned by a fire, it is like a flood rushing into the Dragon King Temple, which means that the gods worshipped in the temple are nothingness. If the Bone-Erosion Fire God has a spirit, how can you allow your temple to be burned by fire?
As long as the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple was burned into ruins, Yuan Guocai could not continue to pick bones in the eggs. Jiang Lie could also call it "Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple" burned by fire, and no one would believe in the Bone-Erosion Fire God again.
Yu Xinhuang frowned and said, "It's burning? Do you have to be so cruel? Can't you change the face of the Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple, such as changing its name?"
Jiang Lie shook his head: "The emperor said, it's useless to demolish it, let alone simply change the name. Only by burning it with fire can it prove that the Bone-Erosion Fire God, as a Fire God, cannot protect his temple from being burned by fire, and cannot bless a place of water, soil and people. In this way, everything about the Bone-Erosion Fire God will naturally become a bubble."
Yu Xinhuang sighed and said, "The Bone-Erosion Fire God Temple was built by the villagers spontaneously. This... is all the hard-earned money from the villagers. After a fire was burned, how could Yu Xin bear it?"
Jiang Lie nodded slightly: "That's why I came to you first. I need your help. I will leave the fire to me. But before setting the fire, I have to move out the valuable items inside to ensure that there is no one inside, and to ensure that the nearby buildings and trees are not affected. Then I have to explain the reasons for burning the temple to the villagers. In order to build this bone-eroding fire god temple, I will pay back twice as much as possible. Please help me, Lord Yu."
Yu Xinhuang nodded and said, "Since Marshal Jiang said so, the officials can only do it. When will they burn?"
