Chapter 229: No more emperor after King Zhou of Shang
"You said the previous owner of this Mountain-Trapping Axe was Kong Xuan?"
Huo Qinghuang stared at Shi Ling and asked word by word.
Kong Xuan?
It was Kong Xuan?!
This was the genius of their Phoenix clan who had the greatest hope of achieving enlightenment at that time. Although he was not from the same world as them, the ancestors also paid a lot of attention to him.
Unfortunately, later on, the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods broke out in the prehistoric world, and the destiny was disrupted. The ancestor was not careful enough and was harmed by someone.
Our ancestor has always kept this matter in mind, waiting to give the other party retribution in the future.
Unexpectedly, this Mountain-Trapping Axe was once his magic weapon.
Now that this treasure is in her hands, does it count as returning to the Phoenix Clan?
"Yes, it's Kong Xuan, what, what happened?"
Shi Ling was frightened by her aura, staring at her in horror, too frightened to breathe, and spoke stutteringly.
This girl's aura was too scary. At that moment just now, she actually felt like she was facing her master.
"Then do you know his identity?"
After thinking for a while, Huo Qinghuang asked again.
"Yes, I know. He was the general of the Shang Dynasty. Unfortunately, I met the master too late and I don't have any skills. I am not qualified to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, I would have persuaded the master to join Xiqi and wait for the victory of the Zhou Dynasty. I would have become a general at least."
Shi Ling said with regret, his tone full of regret.
Huo Qinghuang: "..."
She glanced at Shi Ling speechlessly, not knowing whether to say that this guy was ignorant or that he was lucky.
After following Kong Xuan for a while, he didn't even know the origin of his master.
In its eyes, the disciple of a sage was just a general of the Shang Dynasty, and it even dreamed of persuading him to join Xiqi.
Although she was not clear about the events of the Conferred Gods, she knew that Jiejiao was responsible for protecting the orthodoxy of the Shang Dynasty's emperor. If you asked him to join Xiqi, wouldn't that be inciting him to betray his religion?
There has been no human emperor after King Zhou of Shang, and the human race has been dependent on the Heavenly Court ever since. It is a tragedy to say the least.
But what does this have to do with her?
This guy does have some luck, otherwise, if he followed Kong Xuan to the battlefield, how could the Western religion, which was trying to take advantage of him, let him go?
"You are truly ignorant and fearless. You don't even know the true origin of your master, yet you still want to persuade him to apostatize. Fortunately, you couldn't speak at that time, otherwise you wouldn't be here now."
Huo Qinghuang chuckled and said with a smile.
Because of Kong Xuan, he was more patient with the stone spirit and his attitude was much kinder.
"True origin?"
Shi Ling was confused and asked blankly: "Isn't he the general of the Shang Dynasty?"
Then, it suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, he must be a spy from Xiqi, and then pretended to be defeated and returned to Xiqi, right?
I knew it, he is so powerful, how could he be caught? Humph! I have been worrying about his whereabouts for nothing, but he actually forgot about me and never thought of looking for me for so many years!"
The stone spirit felt extremely aggrieved and felt that its loyalty had been betrayed. If stones had tears, it would have burst into tears.
When Huo Qinghuang heard what Shi Ling said, he couldn't help but sigh.
This guy's train of thought is really bizarre. He actually thought that Kong Xuan was a spy from Xiqi and came to this conclusion self-righteously.
She shook her head, feeling both amused and helpless.
"You are such a dreamer, little guy. Kong Xuan is not a general of the Shang Dynasty, nor is he a spy of Xiqi."
Huo Qinghuang chuckled, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "He is the first peacock in the prehistoric world, the son of Yuan Feng, and the proud disciple of the Jiejiao saint Tongtian."
"What? Son of Yuan Feng? Disciple of a saint?"
The stone spirit was so shocked that it almost fell off the altar. It shouted in disbelief: "How is this possible? I always thought he was just a powerful mortal warrior."
Huo Qinghuang sighed and patiently explained: "Kong Xuan has great magical powers. His five-colored divine light can sweep away everything. It is extremely powerful and shines brightly during the Conferred God Tribulation. He represents Jiejiao to protect the Shang Dynasty. It is not as simple as you think.
If it weren’t for the Western Taoist Zhunti Taoist who personally took action, it would have been difficult to subdue him.”
The stone spirit was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to its senses. It murmured to itself: "No wonder, no wonder the master is so powerful. I used to wonder how a mortal could have such strength. It turns out that I have always misunderstood the master."
As it spoke, it had a hint of annoyance in its tone: "If I had known that my master had such an identity, I should have gotten closer to him. Maybe I could have learned some powerful skills from him."
Huo Qinghuang smiled faintly and said, "It's not too late to know now, but don't persuade him to join Xiqi again, or you'll be struck by lightning."
After hearing this, Shi Ling couldn't help but roll towards the altar and asked cautiously: "Well, now that we are holding the master's mountain-trapping axe, will we be targeted by those people? Will they come to cause trouble for us?"
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly and said, "Humph, although this Mountain-Trapping Axe is Kong Xuan's magic weapon, it has now fallen into my hands, so it can be considered as returning to the Phoenix Clan. Even if someone covets it, they have to consider their own weight."
After hearing this, Shi Ling felt a little relieved, but soon remembered something and asked hurriedly: "What happened to the master later? Where did he go after being captured by Zhunti Taoist?"
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang's face darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "It is said that Kong Xuan was converted by the Taoist Zhunti and brought to the Western Religion, where he became the Peacock King Bodhisattva. Even so, he is still living under someone else's roof, so it is probably not easy."
"Western religion? Is that the Western religion that plunders others' wealth?"
Shi Ling jumped up angrily, "How could they do this and convert the master? No, I have to go and settle the score with them!"
Having said that, Shi Ling was about to rush out the door.
Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched, and he quickly reached out to stop it: "Don't you even consider your own worth? With your current little Taoist skills, you want to compete with the Western Church?
Oh, it is no longer called Western religion, it is now called Buddhism, you should save your energy and don’t bring shame to Kong Xuan.”
Now she believed that this guy was once Kong Xuan's magic weapon. They were both like newborn calves that were not afraid of tigers and dared to challenge the saint.
When Shi Ling heard this, he immediately wilted.
After hanging its head for a long time, it said dejectedly: "What should we do now? Although this mountain-trapping axe is powerful, I always feel a little uneasy holding it..."
Huo Qinghuang stretched out her hand and gently stroked the axe of the Mountain-Trapping Axe, smiling slightly and saying, "In my hands, it can't even cause any trouble. As for you..."
She paused, her eyes fell on Shi Ling, and her tone was somewhat meaningful: "Since you were once Kong Xuan's magic weapon, and now you meet me again, it can be regarded as fate. Why don't you just follow me?"
