Facing the expectant black dragon, Qin Shaoyou was not in a hurry to give an answer.
He turned around and cupped his hands towards Qin Lin and Qin Erlang.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, can you please take a moment to speak."
However, before Qin Lin and Qin Erlang could answer, Heijiao became unhappy.
Its face darkened, and it blew the sharp river wind and asked: "You haven't answered my question yet. Do you want to make me Shui Bo, River God?"
Qin Shaoyou was not frightened by it. He raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, God. I'm just looking for Mr. Qin and Mr. Qin to discuss this matter."
The dissatisfaction on Heijiao's face immediately disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Oh, that's it, then you can discuss it, hurry up and discuss it."
Qin Lin and Qin Erlang also realized that if they couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied Black Jiao today, they would have nothing to gain from it, so they would naturally not reject Qin Shaoyou's proposal for discussion.
Qin Shaoyou turned his head again and ordered to Cui Youguo: "Brother Cui, use a soundproofing technique."
"Great." Cui Youying replied, and just as he was about to cast a spell, the black dragon frowned and asked: "Hey, why do you still need to use sound insulation? Do you have anything to say that you can't say in front of me?
?”
Qin Shaoyou was eloquent and said with a smile: "Shenjun, you just said that we would give you a test. We discussed the questions and answers, so we can't let you hear it, right? Doesn't that count as cheating? We don't care, just
I'm afraid that Fang Tiandi will think you are cheating and won't grant you a divine status."
Black Dragon tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that there was some truth to this.
Qin Shaoyou then added: "Master Shen, is it possible that you don't have confidence in yourself to be admitted to Jiang Shen, Uncle Shui?"
When the black dragon heard this, he was immediately unhappy. The dragon's claws slapped his chest, "How is that possible! Just ask out any questions you have, I will definitely be able to pass!"
But secretly, it quietly sent a message to Qin Shaoyou: "Looking at the fact that I just saved your lives, it's too difficult to escape."
Well, this is still a face-saving dragon.
Qin Shaoyou suppressed his laughter and gave Heijiao a look of "don't worry", but seriously reminded: "Shenjun, when we are discussing, you must not eavesdrop. I know that with your strength, you have to break the sound insulation technique.
It's easy, but it will affect your ability to pass the exams for Jiang Shen and Shui Bo, so the gain outweighs the loss."
"Haha, how could I eavesdrop? You can discuss it and call me when you're done."
Black Dragon smiled dryly, looking a little embarrassed.
Obviously, it had the intention of eavesdropping, but after being exposed by Qin Shaoyou, it couldn't do that anymore.
And it doesn't want to miss the opportunity to become the God of Rivers and Uncle Shui because of eavesdropping.
Cui Yougui quickly released the sound isolation technique.
Before Qin Shaoyou could speak, Qin Lin took the lead and asked him: "Qin is trying hundreds of households, what do you have in mind?"
"Qin Gong has a sharp eye, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Qin Shaoyou first gave a commercial compliment, and then expressed his own thoughts.
"This black dragon is determined to be the God of the River, Uncle Shui. Fortunately, it has indeed protected the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in these years, making it the God of the River. Uncle Shui's words may make it better.
It is my responsibility to continue to benefit the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. So I think it is better to let Mr. Qin issue an edict and make him the Baiqing River Shuibo?"
Qin Lin frowned and said: "I know what you mean, but the power to confer famous mountains and rivers is the power that the emperor can exercise. Even if Erlang is forced to overstep due to the situation, he may not really be able to make this black dragon a god.
Since your Majesty started cultivating immortals today, he has often granted immortals, mountain cats, and gods in the palace, but even his royal family has not sealed them with mountains, trees, cats, dogs, etc., and they have truly become immortals."
"Qin Gong was joking. Can the cats, dogs, and rockery trees in the palace be compared to this black dragon? Not to mention that it itself has a third-level cultivation level. In these years, it has
His merits and good deeds in protecting the people have given him the background to become the River God and Shui Bo. He is a low-ranking official and has passed the City God examination on behalf of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch. He knows that if he wants to become a local god, he must have enough merits to serve the people.
Just hope. To take a step back, even if Master Qin’s edict failed to turn the black dragon into a god, we can also infer that its incense is not enough and the people’s will is not enough. We can even help it build Shuibo temples on both sides of the Baiqing River.
, let it enjoy the incense of the common people. In short, regardless of whether the canonization of the god can be successful or not, our attitude must be shown and we must show that we are very supportive of its becoming a god. Even after the failure, we will be sadder and more regretful than it. According to my observation
, Zhuheijiao is a master who takes soft things rather than hard ones. As long as we follow the hair, it means failure, and it will not vent its anger on us."
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's suggestion, Qin Erlang opened his mouth in surprise.
Qin Lin was also surprised. After looking Qin Shaoyou up and down for a few times, she sighed: "I really didn't expect that Qin Shibaihu, not only would you be so efficient in investigating cases, but you would also be so good at figuring out people's human nature. You shouldn't have such a brain.
Why do you want to be a night watchman in the Demon Suppression Department?"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned and thought to himself, is Qin Lin praising me for being able to enter the court and become a high-ranking official? Oh, I am worthy of having been the internal minister before, and I know how to judge people!
Unexpectedly, after Qin Lin sighed, she said, "You should be a eunuch! A person like you can definitely thrive in the harem!"
Qin Shaoyou's expression froze instantly.
What kind of look do you have? It’s so inaccurate to judge people! I, Qin Shaoyou, a tall and handsome man with a lot of money, how can I be a eunuch?!
You should be a eunuch, no, you are already a eunuch!
Qin Shaoyou suppressed his anger and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Qin is joking. I am the only male in our old Qin family. They still expect me to carry on the family line, but they dare not purify themselves and enter the palace."
"What a pity."
Qin Lin shook her head and sighed, as if she really felt sorry that Qin Shaoyou could not join the palace as a eunuch.
After some discussion, Qin Lin and Qin Erlang followed Qin Shaoyou's suggestion and prepared to deal with the current situation first.
Immediately, Qin Erlang took out a pen and paper, and under Qin Lin's guidance, wrote an imperial edict in his own hand.
When Qin Lin was in the palace, she had the power of wearing red and was very good at writing imperial edicts.
Soon, an imperial edict was written.
It's a pity that there is no jade seal to seal it, so it looks a bit sloppy.
But at this moment, no one cares about these things.
Qin Shaoyou made a gesture to Cui Yougui and asked him to remove the sound insulation technique.
Black Jiao, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately asked: "How is it, have you discussed it?"
"It's been discussed." Qin Shaoyou handed over his hands and said: "Sir Lord, we all agree that the achievements you have made in these years are enough to become a Shui Bo River God, so there is no need to take the exam, and I will issue you a letter of seal directly."
"Okay, okay, where is the edict? Read it quickly."
The black dragon was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. His tail excitedly slapped the river surface again, causing waves.
Qin Lin came forward holding the imperial edict and was about to read it out.
However, Qin Shaoyou suggested at this time: "Mr. Qin, it's me who should do it."
Qin Lin glanced at him, and after a brief consideration, gave him the imperial edict.
Qin Shaoyou held the imperial edict, and he really looked a bit like a little eunuch delivering the imperial edict, but he didn't feel it himself. He read out loudly to the black dragon on the river seriously:
"The edict says: There is a black dragon in the Baiqing River today, who upholds the Tao and practices, is benevolent to protect the people, and obeys the will of God."
A normal edict should have a sentence at the beginning to carry the emperor to heaven, but Qin Erlang is not an imperial palace after all. After careful consideration, Qin Lin finally did not add this sentence.
Fortunately, Black Dragon doesn't know this.
Hearing the words of praise contained in the order, he immediately became happy, which meant that the dragon's claws were a bit short and couldn't reach his head, otherwise he would have scratched his head and scratched his head with joy.
After Qin Shaoyou finished reciting his words of praise, Black Jiao still had some unfinished thoughts.
If it weren't for the announcement of its edict, it would have wanted to speak and ask Qin Shaoyou to praise him a few more words.
After Qin Shaoyou finished praising the achievements of the black dragon, he also started to get down to the topic and read out: "I am conferred the title of Baiqingjiang Shuibo. I hope to continue to work hard and continue to benefit the people in cities and towns along the river."
When Qin Shaoyou finished reading the imperial edict, Qin Lin coughed lightly, reminding Qin Erlang to adjust his expression and prepare for the regret and sadness that would follow.
But at this moment, a beam of golden light fell from the sky and shone on the black dragon.
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment.
Qin Erlang also looked stunned.
Even Qin Shaoyou has some doubts about life: Has anyone succeeded in conferring a god? Is it Qin Erlang's credit this time, or is it mine? If it were me, wouldn't I be doing Jiang Ziya's old deeds? But where are the list of gods and the whip?
