Chapter 280 A small punishment but a big warning Swallow thief? Jiang Lin's expression changed and his sleeves moved involuntarily. The next moment, a black and white flying sword flew out from his sleeves and circled around Jiang Lin. This is the flying sword that the old man gave him, called Corpse Dog. And now, there is one more thief, and the names of both of them are related to the seven spirits among the three souls and seven spirits. The seven spirits are corpse dog, hidden arrow, bird’s vagina, swallowing thieves, non-poisonous, smelly lungs, and removing filth. And now, Jiang Lin not only has a Corpse Dog Flying Sword in his hand, but also the mysterious wooden box called Thief Swallower that he just obtained. So, what about the others? We already have the Corpse Dog and the Thief Swallower, are there other objects named after the Seven Souls? Jiang Lin couldn't help but think about it. Before I could think for too long, the old man woke me up with a jujube. "Kid, it's useless to think about these things now, just go with the flow." The old Taoist smiled and said, "You should be concerned about another thing now. There is no such thing as resigning and leaving the Arctic Exorcism Institute."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. The old man was right. He had just gone to the Heavenly King's Court and acted brazenly. Although he had given up anything related to the Black Law Mage, it was impossible for him to completely get rid of the influence. As a wizard who enforces the black law, Jiang Lin's previous behavior must have violated taboos and prohibitions. This is also the reason why Jiang Lin smiled bitterly. "Go ahead, kid, finish your work quickly and go down to the underworld to do your work." The old man kicked Jiang Lin in the butt. Suddenly, Jiang Lin was kicked into the Arctic Exorcism Courtyard and fell on his butt in front of the door of the Black Law Department. Through the open dark door, Jiang Lin saw the lobby of the Black Law Division and the purple-robed Taoist priest sitting behind a long table in the lobby. Jiang Lin stood up, rubbing his butt, straightened his clothes, and walked into the Black Law Department. Bowing and saluting, meticulously. "Meet Grandpa Deng." Jiang Lin bowed deeply to greet him. That’s right, the Taoist in purple sitting in the hall was none other than the founder of the Beidi Sect, Deng Ziyang. "Ah." Deng Zu nodded, looked at Jiang Lin with interest, pointed to the table in front of him, and said, "Get dressed and come back to answer." On the table in front of him, there were three objects, which were Jiang Lin’s robes, token and order. "Yes." Jiang Lin bowed again, put on the black robes with gold embroidery on the cuffs, carefully put away the orders and tokens, and stood in front of Deng Zu again. "My disciple has violated the rules. Please punish me, Master."
Jiang Lin spoke first, with meticulous etiquette, as if he was following a set procedure. In fact, this is indeed a process. Black Law Mages are also human beings and cultivators. No matter how strict the Black Laws are, the mages who enforce the Black Laws will not be treated as the purest cold-blooded creatures. As a human being, you have emotions and closeness to others. This is something that not only the Black Law Mage, but even the Daluo Heavenly Immortal cannot avoid. However, the Black Law Mage is quite special after all, and his every move will inevitably make people think of Black Law. But Master Black Law always has his own things to deal with. But in this process, it will more or less affect the majesty of Heilu itself in the eyes of outsiders. Therefore, a compromise solution was found very early on. What Jiang Lin did before was correct. He did not have the robes, orders, and token with him, which meant that he wanted to do his own thing. This behavior itself is a violation of the law, because the Arctic Exorcism Institute will never tolerate such a thing as resigning and leaving. However, although it was a violation of the rules, it did not reach the point where it would be punished under the black law. This is also the premise of a compromise solution. Although the ban was violated, it did not reach the point of violating the black law. However, not punishing him would inevitably affect the majesty of the black law. So, Deng Zu came. As the founder of the Beidi Black Law lineage, nominally speaking, all practitioners of Beidi's law are considered to be Deng Zu's disciples, and the Black Law Master is no exception. This is also true for Jiang Lin. If Wei Tianjun is the ancestor of the Black Law, then Deng Zu is the head of the Black Law mages. There are many old precedents for how to deal with things like Jiang Lin's, and to put it simply, it can be summed up in two sentences. From official business, it became a "family affair", from criminal law, it became "family law". There must be punishment, but it will not be done by Heilulu, but by Dengzu. "It's just this once, it won't happen again." Deng Zu looked at Jiang Lin and said calmly, "You acted rashly in a moment of anger, which damaged the authority of the Black Law. Although you did it for your wife's sake and it was in accordance with human ethics and there were reasons for it, you still had to be punished. Do you have any complaints?" "I am willing to accept the punishment." Jiang Lin bowed again. This was a natural thing to do. Jiang Lin had been prepared for this from the very beginning. Although the Black Law is strict, it will not interfere with the private affairs of the mage. Although there are restrictions, generally speaking, in the area of private affairs, at most it is restricted to not having sex on the day when the Northern Emperor descends, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt for the Northern Emperor. This is not a rule unique to the Black Law. Even if ordinary people in the mortal world worship their ancestors, having sex the day before the worship is somewhat taboo. Therefore, the penalty at this moment is somewhat unreasonable. But since you have cultivated the Black Law lineage and enjoyed the powerful strength and lofty status brought by the Northern Emperor's Black Law, you must shoulder the due responsibilities. "Come with me."
Deng Zu stood up and brought Jiang Lin to the square of the Arctic Exorcism Institute. This is the center of the entire Arctic Exorcism Institute. There are many immortals and gods coming and going. After seeing Jiang Lin and Deng Zu, they all stopped and watched curiously. "Face the North Pole and kneel." I don't know when a ruler appeared in Deng Zu's hand. The ruler was pitch black and it was obvious that it was not something to be dealt with easily. Jiang Lin did as he was told and knelt down towards the North Pole. Long before Jiang Lin knelt down, the immortals and gods standing in front of him hurriedly moved away. "Jiang Lin, a disciple of the Xuan generation of the Beidi Sect, acted recklessly and disregarded the majesty of the Black Law. As the founder of the Beidi Sect, I will enforce the Beidi family law and punish him with a ruler a hundred times to serve as a warning to him. If he commits the same offense again in the future, I will not forgive him." Deng Zu stood behind Jiang Lin, holding a ruler. His tone was calm, but it reached the ears of all the immortals and gods present. "Disciple Xuanying, do you have any complaints?" "I accept the punishment and have no complaints." After going through the process again, Deng Zu's ruler fell down. 'Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! ’ This ruler is very magical. It hits the body, but the sound comes from the soul. Every hit is heart-wrenching, but it hurts without causing any injury. The Beidi lineage, even its family rules are extremely cruel, and this is pain directly inflicted on the soul. Even Jiang Lin, after being hit more than eighty times, had his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, his mouth tightly pursed, and his breathing had stopped. Now Jiang Lin is holding his breath. If he lets go of it, the pain of the ruler on his soul will make him scream. Deng Zu's movements were very precise. He said he would use the ruler a hundred times, not one more or one less. When the hundredth stroke of the ruler fell, Deng Zu had just put away the ruler when a figure suddenly appeared from the side, and without even bowing to Deng Zu, he rushed over to support Jiang Lin. Deng Zu had no intention of caring about it. He just watched from the side. His face remained serious, but there was a hint of smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Seeing the woman in the black uniform of the Exorcist Institute, who looked like an iceberg, looking at Xuan Ying with undisguised heartache, Deng Zu smiled slightly in his heart. That's right, it's right to feel distressed. If you don't feel distressed, then Xuan Ying is blind. "How's it going? Are you okay?" Tan Ruo carefully helped Jiang Lin up, her movements extremely gentle. "No problem." Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and stood up straight. His soul was still aching slightly, one after another, which made his face flush a little morbidly. The first thing he did after he stood up was to look at Deng Zu and said, "I will remember this warning and never break it again." "Very good." Deng Zu nodded calmly, then looked at Tan Ruo, and a kind smile appeared on his originally expressionless face. He looked Tan Ruo up and down and said with a smile, "Not bad, a good girl. But..." As he spoke, Deng Zu paused for a moment, and Tan Ruo also quickly straightened his clothes and lowered his head to listen to the instructions.
"You also work in my Exorcism Institute. You should know that the Black Law Mage has many constraints on his private affairs. If we stay together forever, you will suffer some losses and grievances in the end." "This is something that cannot be helped. I apologize to you on behalf of the future Xuan Ying." After saying that, Deng Zu nodded to Tan Ruo. Tan Ruo hurriedly bowed and said in a hurry: "I dare not take you for this. Since my heart belongs to you, I will never change a thing, and there is no such thing as grievance or loss." "Ah." Deng Zu smiled and blinked, then suddenly asked jokingly, "You still call yourself a real person? And you still call yourself a subordinate?" Tan Ruo was stunned at first, but then he couldn't help but feel happy. He hurriedly bowed again and said, "Junior Tan Ruo, I greet Grandmaster Deng." "Hahahahaha!" Deng Zu then smiled with satisfaction, waved his sleeves, turned around and left. Jiang Lin let out a long sigh, easing the pain in his soul. Without any signal, Tan Ruo supported him and walked towards the door of the Arctic Exorcism Institute. All the immortals and gods met along the way would greet Jiang Lin, mostly with silent greetings. These immortals and gods would not think that it was shameful for Jiang Lin to be punished in public. This was obviously a light punishment but a severe warning. In other words, it's a matter of attitude. Black Law Division must demonstrate this attitude. But compared to what Jiang Lin did, this punishment was really too light. But on second thought, this young man had just killed the Celestial King in the Celestial Court, but not only did he not attract any revenge from the Celestials, but instead he pushed Tan Ruo next to him to be the new Celestial King. When Jiang Lin attacked the Heavenly King's Court, he did not hide anything, and his relationship with Tan Ruo was no secret. Some curious people even found Tan Ruo's files and learned more about the inside story. Things like wisdom from previous lives are not uncommon for immortals and gods. After all, who hasn't experienced reincarnation? There are a lot of people who take the initiative to reincarnate and cultivate again. What people talk about most is that Jiang Lin’s story is a bit too bizarre and very legendary. The celestial princess was framed and sent to the lower world to marry a mortal. She was then framed and became a criminal, requiring her to reincarnate to atone for her sins. And that mortal husband not only became the direct disciple of Emperor Fengdu after his reincarnation, but also, after achieving success in his cultivation, he went to the Heavenly King's Court to make decisions for his wife. Immortals are also human beings, with seven emotions and six desires. It is quite fitting that immortals would risk their lives for the love they love. However, the immortals would think more. For example, the immortals and gods who know about this matter now are curious about why the celestial race handled it the way it is now. This is totally unlike the style of the Celestials. There are many speculations and different opinions about this. But Jiang Lin didn't care about this. After leaving the Exorcism House with Tan Ruo, Jiang Lin could already walk on his own. Although the pain in the soul still exists, it no longer affects the action.
Jiang Lin looked at Tan Ruo, and before he could speak, Tan Ruo said, "The guiding divine light has been arranged, and it can directly reach the capital of Dongtang Kingdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou." "Also, two days have already passed in the human world. Now that I am down, it will be exactly the third day in the human world." Jiang Lin nodded and watched Tan Ruo activate the Guiding Divine Light. There is indeed a certain difference in the speed of time flow between the human world and the heavenly world, but it is not to the extent that one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth. It is probably about one day in heaven being equal to ten days on earth. Of course, it is not fixed. This is related to the chaotic environment that the Three Realms are currently in. The Three Realms are a ship and Chaos is the ocean. The ship will naturally move rather than being fixed in a certain position. The specific time ratio also depends on the changes in the waves of the sea. Jiang Lin was thinking about unimportant things in his mind and stepped into the guiding divine light. On the way, Tan Ruo hesitated to speak, but finally said: "The elders of the Celestial Tribe have come to me to ask for instructions on the succession. I only said it will take a while." "Their attitude was very strange. They were overly respectful to me." The elders of the Celestial Clan had to be at least Golden Immortals. Even the Celestial King had to treat such beings with courtesy. However, Tan Ruo, a quasi-Celestial King, made a Golden Immortal elder treat him with extreme respect, even a little servile. This is obviously not normal. "There are some hidden secrets, and I don't know the details. I only know that your throne seems to have been decided by the first ancestor of your Celestial Race." Jiang Lin thought about it and said so. Tan Ruo was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It will do you no harm. When this matter is done and there are no official problems, I will also attend your succession ceremony." Tan Ruo nodded subconsciously. Her trust in Jiang Lin was no longer 100%, but 10,000 percent. "But there's something else." Tan Ruo looked at Jiang Lin's profile and said softly, "The matter of the Heavenly King's Court has become very public, and those people in Longjing Mountain are all well-informed people, so it is not difficult for them to know about this matter." Jiang Lin heard this and was about to speak, but was stopped by Tan Ruo. "When the imperial decree is over, take me to Longjing Mountain. I will explain it to you. I won't make it difficult for you, but you are not allowed to say too much, let alone refute it." Tan Ruo's voice was soft, but it was firm. Jiang Lin knew that it was not that Tan Ruo was overbearing, but that she was ready to sacrifice something. He wanted to refuse, but was defeated by Tan Ruo's determined gaze. "call……" Jiang Lin let out a long sigh, with extremely complicated emotions wandering in his heart, coupled with the dull pain in his soul. These things mixed together, causing a violent emotion to emerge in his heart. Looking down, I saw that I had arrived at the capital of Dongtang Kingdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou. And within this capital, there are several auras belonging to the immortals of the Dongsheng Shenzhou that are visible to the naked eye. They are not hidden at all, as if they are waiting for Jiang Lin to discover them.
"Somewhat something is wrong." Tan Ruo frowned and said, "This is not the way to confess your guilt. You are showing off your power and seem to have nothing to fear." Jiang Lin had said before that the destruction of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion was inevitable, and those earthly immortals who were involved with Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion were required to come to the capital of Dongtang Kingdom within three days to confess their crimes. Then, we can just kill those who have specific dealings with Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion without involving the forces behind them. But now it seems that these guys are not going to sit there and wait for death. Jiang Lin's eyes were calm, and he didn't say much. He just withdrew his divine light and slowly landed it in the capital of Dong Tang Kingdom. No matter what your plan is, since you are here, you can't escape death. (End of this chapter)
