"Ugh..."
The Dragon King could only let out a muffled groan, and then he fell to the ground with blood gushing out of his mouth. He pointed at Ao Feng and Ao Shu and trembled, "You, you..."
Ao Feng said, "I'm sorry, you are the only rebel here, we are the good people."
"That's enough, stop fighting!"
Ao Cheng who came over hurriedly stopped them, "Try to ensure the integrity of the meat so that the taste will be right."
Taihua Taoist was a little confused, and said, "Dragon King, they are..."
"Our own people." Ao Cheng smiled and said, "Under the authority of the master, they have been incorporated."
Taihua Taoist nodded suddenly, "So that's how it is. You have some vision."
Everyone greeted each other, and Ao Cheng carried the body of the Dragon King back.
On the West Sea, everyone gathered together, all with a relieved smile on their faces. This battle... can be called a fierce battle, and it can be regarded as a crucial and dangerous battle at the beginning of the establishment of the Heavenly Palace.
Fortunately, we won, and this is really thanks to the master!
Taihua Daojun looked at Li Nianfan, his eyes full of awe. Whether it was the initial strategy, the exciting piano music in the middle period, or the purple thunder that determined the fate of the world, they were all so crucial.
The victory in this battle, 80% of the credit is because of the master!
If it weren't for him, everyone would be in danger, and 80% would have died.
Thinking of this, he quickly came over, bowed and said: "This battle is really a loss to the Saint Lord. That thunderbolt was too crucial. Is the Saint Lord okay?"
"I'm fine."
Li Nianfan smiled and waved his hands, then thankfully said: "Actually, I have to thank the Jade Emperor. If he hadn't given me a defensive inner armor, that attack just now would have been really terrifying. Having said that, that inner armor is really good, with amazing defensive power. It's a good treasure."
"Hehe..."
Everyone tried to force a smile and laughed.
This inner armor is not powerful at all. It's because it's powerful when worn on you. If you let someone else wear it, they will be completely wiped out by the octopus monster just now.
However, they were not surprised by such an expert, and they cooperated very smoothly.
Taihua Daojun smiled and said, "No matter what, Lord Saint has made an indelible contribution to this battle!"
Ao Cheng hurriedly came over with the corpse of the dragon king and showed it to Li Nianfan, "By the way, Lord Saint, take a look at this dragon king, the meat is still intact, how is it?"
Li Nianfan's eyes lit up and smiled and said, "Yes, it's long enough, I have to eat it in several different ways and taste it carefully."
Everyone nodded, "Of course I should. " "Yes, it should be."
Li Nianfan looked at everyone, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He said lightly: "The demons in the West Sea have heavy karma, and they illegally occupied the West Sea. They are extremely evil. This time, we were able to pacify the troubles in the West Sea. Everyone has made an indispensable contribution and deserves a reward."
Li Nianfan was just speaking in a very ordinary way, without any magic power, but everyone heard it carefully, and their hearts instantly started beating wildly. They
held their breath in anticipation.
The Lord of Merit and Virtue said so, then -
this, this is... what is the reward?
But Li Nian continued: "Okay, everyone take out your weapons. The merits are not much, so think about how to distribute them."
"Hiss -"
Everyone present, especially the heavenly soldiers, could hardly believe their ears. They widened their eyes and were extremely excited.
Even if it's not much, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is.
The stronger it is, the better! What does it mean to be magnanimous and open-minded? The ear of the Holy Lord of Merit and Virtue!
Xiao Chengfeng stood with a sword in his hand, and immediately bowed excitedly and said, "The little god thanks the Holy Lord of Merit and Virtue for his gift."
Everyone bowed at the same time and said in unison, "Thank
you, Holy Lord of Merit and Virtue for your gift!" "This is what you deserve. You're welcome." Li Nianfan laughed, then looked at the
long sword in Xiao Chengfeng's hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you going to use this sword? Do you want me to keep the merit for you first?" He saw the previous battle clearly. Xiao Chengfeng borrowed the sword from Taoist Taihua. It can be seen that his long sword is not a powerful magic weapon.
At this moment, Li Nianfan suddenly felt like he had become an NPC that gave out rewards. His role was to strengthen people's weapons. He had to choose the right weapon before strengthening it, otherwise the reward would be wasted.
Xiao Chengfeng stroked the long sword in his hand and sighed, "Although this sword is just an ordinary acquired spiritual treasure, it has been with me since I entered the fairyland, and it is also rare and sharp. It is enough for me to use it!"
He believed that by defending the Heavenly Palace and making meritorious contributions, he would definitely be able to gain more merits in the future and upgrade his weapon to a merit treasure.
Once it becomes a merit treasure, its power would be too terrifying, but the merits required... too many.
You know, the reason why the two swords of the Styx Patriarch could become the treasure of merit is because he imitated Nüwa to mold people with clay and created the Asura clan. He wanted to become a saint through this merit.
In other words, the merit required to become a treasure of merit is only lower than the merit required to become a saint.
Li Nianfan nodded, "In that case..."
He waved his hand slightly, and suddenly, the golden merit light slapped towards everyone like raindrops. Everyone's face was serious and they held their breath. There
are more and less merits. Some people choose to use it to temper magic weapons, and some people choose to use it to condense themselves, eliminate karma, and make it easier for themselves in the future. At the very least, they can be reborn into a good life after death.
At this moment, everyone's hearts, which were originally tired from the battle, instantly became active again, and they felt that everything was worth it. They really did not choose the wrong camp, and they could eat meat by following the Meritorious Saint.
Xiao Chengfeng and Ye Liuyun looked at the magic weapons in their hands, and their eyes showed excitement, as if they saw the sign of "Magic Weapon Strengthening +1".
Ao Cheng and the Giant Spirit were even more excited, their mouths almost opened wide, they were laughing foolishly, as if they had reached the level of "Magic Weapon Enhancement +2".
Taihua Daojun also said: "Two heavenly soldiers, pass on my order, go to the underworld, say hello, and let those who died in this battle have priority in reincarnation."
Everything was arranged properly, and everyone set up the auspicious clouds again, and went to the Heavenly Palace in a mighty manner.
Taihua Daojun stood on the auspicious clouds, with a smile on his face, looking very proud, as if he was thinking about how to publicize this wave of victory and thus increase the prestige of the Heavenly Palace.
But at the same time, his eyes kept flashing, and he began to think deeply about who was behind the trouble in the West Sea.
Finally, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "Who in the demon clan has the ability to be behind the scenes? Rebuilding the demon court? Humph!"
Li Nianfan heard Taihua Daojun's complaint, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Daojun, this is still easy to guess."
Taihua Daojun's face froze slightly, and he quickly asked, "Saint Lord knows?"
"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess."
Li Nianfan paused, combined with his knowledge of mythology, he had a general idea of the demon clan, and said: "Since the birth of the demon clan, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, two demon kings, were born on the sun. They established the Demon Court and commanded all the demons in the world, but these two were obviously dead. Later, Houyi shot down the sun. There are only three powerful people related to the demon clan left, Empress Nüwa, Lu Ya and Demon Master Kunpeng."
After Li Nianfan's explanation, the context became much clearer. Taihua Daojun nodded and said, "That's true."
Then he analyzed: "Empress Nüwa has always been "He is in a neutral position, and is just a guest in the demon race. It is highly unlikely that he will treat us like this. Lu Ya wants to be free, and break away from the shackles of the Three Realms. He has not been seen for many years. The only one who has such ambition is Kunpeng who retreated to the shore of Bohai Sea!"
Li Nianfan said, "If no other demon race masters have appeared during this period, it should be a high probability."
Another big man, the Tiangong is really so calamity and hardship. When it was strong, no one dared to offend it because of the general situation. Everyone endured it and waited until the general situation was in chaos and the prosperous times were gone. One by one, they jumped out and competed for the protagonist of the world.
But he changed his mind and frowned suddenly.
In this case, if Huo Feng and Xiao Daji want to unify the demon clan, wouldn't they have to fight against Kun Peng? This is too dangerous.
Demon Master Kun Peng is a big boss in the prehistoric world, a quasi-saint, and his power of appeal is not much less than that of Emperor Jun. The reason why he is called Demon Master is that he is the ancestor of all demons.
He couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, you have to keep a close eye on this, especially the Fire Phoenix, which may attract the attention of the demon master Kunpeng."
Taihua Taoist's face suddenly froze. This was the first order from the master. His mood suddenly became heavy, and he said cautiously, "Don't worry, Saint Master, I will keep a close eye on Kunpeng!"
Ao Cheng, who was standing aside, also had a change of expression. He remembered the name Kunpeng and asked all parties to pay attention to it after returning. The master had already decided that at any cost, this Kunpeng... must be made into a dish!
After that, no one spoke. Li Nianfan pursed his lips and thought silently in his heart that if possible, his merits should be tilted towards Xiao Daji as much as possible, after all, she was his own person.
When I have the opportunity to earn merit in the future, I must make sure that Xiao Daji pays attention to me. I can't always give my salary to outsiders. I must take care of my family. If I don't use the backdoor, I will be a fool.
When I returned to the Heavenly Palace, the sky had already darkened.
Everyone had a great start, and after a simple celebration, they gradually dispersed. The Heavenly Soldiers were smiling and showing off their merits to the civil officials.
I think the Heavenly Palace will have a lot of smooth recruitment in the future. After all, with the reward of merit, it is still very attractive.
As night fell, Li Nianfan was unable to fall asleep. The experience during the day was quite shocking to a mortal like him. The exciting fights and bloody scenes were not something he could forget in a short time. Of course, he was also a little worried about Xiao Daji.
He came to the highest point of the Hall of the Holy Lord of Merit alone, carrying a wine pot and a wine glass, and began to drink by himself.
He poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at the splendor of the Heavenly Palace from a high place, he couldn't help but feel a little dreamy. Unconsciously, he actually got along well with a group of gods, and... he became their boss who paid them wages and was respected by them. It was really interesting.
Then he couldn't help but look up at the starry sky in the distance.
This is the best scenic area. When you look up, you can see the stars all over the sky. Different from the stars seen in the mortal world, here, you will feel that many stars are close at hand.
Especially not far away, the full moon like a white jade plate radiates a bright white light, but it is not dazzling, and there is no temperature. Instead, it gives people a sense of coolness.
The whole moon, like a huge background picture, is displayed in front of Li Nianfan.
It is beautiful, but lonely at the same time.
Feeling something in his heart, he could not help but chant in a low voice: "The candlelight on the mica screen is deep, the long river gradually sets and the morning stars sink. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir,
and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night." "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night."
An echo came slowly, but it was a soft female voice, the voice was like heavenly, but the emotions were extremely complicated.
Li Nianfan looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a clear shadow slowly floating from a distance. At first glance, he even thought it was a painting.
Looking again, it was a woman wearing a white long skirt and a bun. Her body seemed to be weightless, slowly floating towards here.
A piece of autumn water god charm soul, half a song of clear song, the shadow seemed to float.
Super beautiful woman.
Almost comparable to my little Daji.
Combined with the tone of the woman's reciting poetry just now and the location, Li Nianfan had already vaguely guessed who this woman was.
"Shengjun is really an extraordinary person, with great talent. A poem almost made Chang'e cry. Did he know that I was coming and deliberately tricked me into crying?"
