C804 (2/2)
The three people who entered the palace today seemed to have some ability. They were hoping to get rid of the plague!
The Emperor looked expectantly at Li Dao's group of three, hoping that they would be able to come up with a reliable plan.
Li Dao stood on the spot, motionless and expressionless.
Seeing that Li Dao did not express anything, Lin Xie glared at the old monk, stepped forward, and said, ”Your Majesty, this plague has been caused by the immortals of the heavens. There is no cure for the mortals.”
”That's right!”
The old monk nodded, agreeing with Lin Li's words.
This time, it was Li Dao's turn to be surprised. Could it be that Lin Mu had some ability, and he was right about it? In fact, the plague was spread by the gods.
As for Lin Mu and the old monk, Li Dao was still suspicious for the time being. It was possible that the two of them were just fooling around, and that they just happened to be the truth.
”Sage Li, is what Sage Lin and High Monk Yuan Ye said true?”
The emperor was slightly suspicious. According to what Lin Mu said, the plague was caused by a deity. Why would the deity do such a thing? It was too unbelievable.
Li Dao nodded and replied, ”What Lin Nightmare said is true. The plague is indeed a heavenly general, and ordinary medicines cannot cure it.”
Hearing Li Dao's words, Lin Mu blinked his eyes at Li Dao. As expected of his martial granduncle, he was able to rely on him at critical moments.
Li Dao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Xie winking at him. It was obvious that he was just fooling around.
The Forest Boa was originally unable to deal with the plague, probably by chance. Coincidentally, the Eight Immortals had come back from the Penglai Grass to pick herbs, and the plague was solved.
Among the commoners, the name of the Eight Immortals was renowned, but the emperor thought that it was because of Lin Li that he was able to rise to the top.
”Three great masters, you said that the plague was caused by the descent of a deity from the heavens, then why did the deities do this? What is their purpose?”
The Emperor still didn't believe the words of the three, so he asked.
Li Dao naturally knew what the purpose of immortals was, but Lin Mu and the old monk did not. However, since the two of them dared to lift the Emperor Board, they naturally came prepared.
Lin Mu's expression was straight as he said solemnly, ”Your Majesty doesn't know that immortals are no different from mortals. They also need to believe in incense. They brought down the plague, caused the suffering of all the people in the world, and then sent their gods to save the people. They made the people feel grateful towards them, and built temples for them, and offered incense to them. ”
”Amitabha!” Daoist Master Lin's words are not wrong; this is the way immortals do things. This humble monk can't stand to watch too much, so he left the mountain without hesitation. He can't bear to see the common people suffer! ”
Seeing that Lin Mu and the old monk were singing the same tune, the Emperor was so scared that he was at a loss for words. Li Dao was also at a loss for words. Two rookies, one was a Foundation Establishment Daoist Priest, the other was a Jindan Stage monk. How could they have come into contact with immortals?
It seemed ridiculous that they should be able to tell the truth, but the truth was often even more absurd than people imagined.
The emperor was also not that easy to intimidate. He asked hesitantly, ”According to what the two experts said, it's a plague spread by immortals, then the two masters must know which immortals caused it? ”The two masters might as well say that I destroyed his temple and extinguished his incense.”
Lin Mu and the old monk thought to themselves, ”It's not good to know that immortals really exist. If the emperor were to send people to destroy the temple, then the immortals would find out. Then wouldn't they be finished?”
Immediately, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they didn't know what to say anymore.
Lin Mu turned his pleading gaze towards Li Dao. I can't afford to offend those immortals, so Martial Granduncle shouldn't be afraid, right?
Li Dao did not disappoint Lin Li's expectations. He stood up and said indifferently, ”I know which deity did it!”
