Chapter 111 Prelude to the Defeat of King Zhou◇
◎There is an outlier◎
Taiyi never thought that he, a great Golden Immortal, would one day bow down for five dou of rice (crossed out) and five dou of magic weapons.
Of course he did have magic weapons, but what good would they do to him? Besides, he had already given all his treasures to his beloved disciple, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover given by his teacher was also broken. If he gave more to him, he would be in trouble.
He took out two pieces with great difficulty, hoping to appease Kong Shuang's anger. If this continued, he would not be able to bear it.
Kong Shuang glanced at it calmly, a look of surprise on his face: "No way, isn't your Chan Sect famous for its weapon refining? How can you all be so poor?"
"You're joking, Madam."
Taiyi's face darkened and he looked at Kong Shuang with resentment. The Chan Sect was rich in magic, but he was an exception. He wanted to take out some other magic weapons that were not of the top grade. But he changed his mind and thought that Kong Shuang would probably find other excuses to belittle their Chan Sect.
It’s okay for him to be ridiculed a few times, but he must never discredit the teacher.
He originally thought that Kong Shuang was much easier to get along with than the rumors said, but now he wants to take back that idea.
Taiyi gritted his teeth and sent a long-distance message to his fellow disciples: "Help is needed! Send me money!"
The relationship between the brothers who have been together for tens of thousands of years is very good. Everyone helps each other when they can. Before long, magic weapons come from all directions.
Taiyi felt a pang of sadness in his nose and was actually a little touched.
Then, a voice attached to one of the magic weapons came over: "Junior Brother—have you joined some pyramid scheme? Come out immediately. I'm with you, or I'll kill you."
Taiyi's face turned pale. He never thought that despite all his precautions, Yuanshi still found out.
Kong Shuang felt a bit gloating, but he felt that laughing loudly in front of the younger generation was a bit disrespectful, so he instructed Shiji, "Pick one for Biyun Boy, and the rest will be considered as apologies to the Dragon Clan."
Taiyi: He is the master of these magic weapons...
No wonder the teacher hates these furry and horned creatures, they are so scary!
Dragon King...happiness came too suddenly, and he was unable to adapt for a while.
The Chan sect was extremely powerful and had a saint in charge. I originally thought it was great to be able to win a godhood for my son, but I didn’t expect that I could get compensation!
He quickly bowed to Kong Shuang, and became more determined in his heart to cling to the Jiejiao. He would have meat to eat by following the Jiejiao, and when he returned to the East China Sea, he would go to pay a visit to the Jiejiao saint.
The Dragon King took the remaining magic weapon tremblingly, unable to hide his smile.
Taiyi, who had lost all his property and incurred a huge foreign debt, and was socially disfigured in front of his teacher and fellow apprentices, suddenly felt dizzy. He no longer had any attachment to this dangerous world and stumbled, almost falling down.
Kong Shuang raised his hand and teased Shiji, "Shiji, how did you do that? You actually hurt your senior brother so much. Why don't you go and help your senior brother and send him to Kunlun?"
Shiji responded happily and walked forward.
Taiyi couldn't help but recall some bad memories when he saw Shiji, and waved his hands hurriedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have a magic weapon that can fly, so I won't bother you, Junior Sister."
After saying this, he fished in his sleeves, and suddenly remembered where he had any magic weapons. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Shiji said considerately, "How about I call you Duo Xiangyun?"
Taiyi's eyes went dark again. He waved his hands stubbornly, smiling with tears in his eyes, "Don't worry about it, Junior Sister."
After saying this, he stood up to leave, then turned back, pulled Nezha up, and said through gritted teeth, "Master, I was negligent in disciplining you before. From now on, I will pay more attention to you."
Nezha's eyes also went dark. He could already imagine how much homework would be waiting for him in the future.
The master and disciple left without asking Li Jing's opinion.
Instead, Kong Shuang looked at Shiji thoughtfully.
Shiji's scalp tingled under her gaze. Pretending to be calm, she pulled up Kong Shuang's sleeves and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me? Did I do something wrong?"
Kong Shuang shook his head and said seriously, "Taiyi's words reminded me that you have opened a new cave in recent years, and your teacher has neglected to discipline you. Otherwise..."
Shiji almost fainted when she thought of her fellow disciples who had not yet come out of the Zhuxian Formation.
After dealing with Nezha's affairs, Kong Shuang received one letter after another from Xiqi. Shen Gongbao was diligent and wrote one letter every day, never slacking off, and reported all his affairs in Xiqi to Kong Shuang.
Kong Shuang: I only care about Zhunti's movements, and don't want to know what the little leopard eats for three meals a day...
In Xiqi, Shen Gongbao kept his promise and quickly introduced Zhunti and others to Ji Chang.
Ji Chang also possessed the purple aura of an emperor and was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. He had dragon eyes and tiger features and was extraordinary in bearing. Even the saint Zhunti could not help but praise him.
Zhunti absorbed the divine power of the saint. Although he looked pale and thin, his appearance was solemn and awe-inspiring, and his aura was very strong.
The two of them met too late, and with the addition of Shen Gongbao, they almost formed the Three Giants of Xiqi.
After lamenting that he had met the master and the imperial teacher too late, Ji Chang invited Zhunti to bring his disciples to serve as officials in the court.
Ji Chang was eloquent and had a sweet tongue. Zhunti had never thought that he had heard such pleasing words for many years. He was very moved and almost agreed to it. At night, he went back and showed off to the Styx.
Minghe frowned slightly and asked in disbelief, "Are you, a noble saint, really willing to bow down to a mortal with the appearance of an emperor?"
Zhunti's face darkened and he stammered, "This..."
How can the dignity of a saint be compared to that of a mortal? The change of dynasties in the world and the replacement of emperors are just a blink of an eye for a saint. Asking a saint to assist an emperor is just a dream!
Zhunti's head shuddered, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he did not agree to Ji Chang.
Minghe continued coldly, "I heard that the Chan Sect sent a second-generation disciple who had been a disciple for less than a hundred years to take charge of the Investiture of the Gods. The Jie Sect has a third-generation disciple serving as an official in the Shang Dynasty. The Western Sect is quite powerful. The saint personally came to the court. It is truly compassionate to all living beings!"
Zhunti covered his face and said: Stop scolding him, he already knows he is wrong.
Minghe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhunti was not really out of his mind. If Zhunti really became an official in Xiqi, Minghe would have to draw a clear line with the West even at the cost of his life.
He can't afford to lose this person.
The next day, Zhunti found Ji Chang and indirectly expressed that I am too noble and you are not worthy of me.
No one knew what Ji Chang was thinking, but his face showed regret. He held Shen Gongbao with one hand and Zhunti with the other.
"Although I cannot obtain the assistance of a mage, I am fortunate to be able to be friends with him and the Imperial Master."
The friendship between the three is so harmonious!
Zhunti was deeply moved. After returning, he discussed with Minghe and sent a disciple of the Western religion to the court.
The Styx doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not Zhunti himself or Asura, it doesn’t matter who it’s sent to.
Ji Chang was also very moved and mobilized the palace to do its best to help Zhunti preach. Within a few days, with the help of Ji Chang, the number of believers in the West increased many times.
Seeing this, Ji Chang couldn't help but feel guilty about his other sweetheart, and privately went to find Shen Gongbao: "Master's Western Religion is flourishing in Xiqi, and I will not favor one over the other, and will not forget the Taoist of the National Master."
Shen Gongbao spoke with righteousness, saying solemnly, "The Dao is in the hearts of the people, and cannot be compared with numbers. Your Majesty, do not worry about it."
I secretly cursed Ji Chang for being such a hindsight person. Western religions have been around for such a long time and he is only feeling guilty now. How hypocritical!
At the beginning, when he found out that the Western religion dared to be so arrogant in the East, he was really unhappy. He wrote an urgent letter overnight to ask Empress Kong Shuang whether she wanted to do something big and teach that bald donkey a lesson.
The letter was not delivered because it was hijacked by his teacher. The teacher wrote back to teach him: Tao follows nature, and all three thousand great ways are equal. You cannot force one to be the winner.
Along with the letter came a gift package of five thousand years of homework.
Shen Gongbao...shed tears of happiness.
After knowing that the national teacher was not jealous, Ji Chang's contacts with Zhunti became closer. He even invited Zhunti to the palace many times or came to his small temple in person to listen to his preaching.
Every time I come, I am excited and reluctant to leave.
Minghe was watching coldly at first, but later he was silently amazed, thinking that it was true that the human race was the future master of the wilderness. With Ji Chang's eloquence, emotional intelligence, and sassyness, he deserved to be an emperor.
He even thought of Di Jun. If Di Jun could have done half as much as Ji Chang did when he persuaded him, he might have really gone to heaven with him.
Day after day, when the Western religious team was finally able to break through Xiqi and move towards the entire Shang Dynasty, the enemy King Zhou finally built a wine pool and a meat forest, and was about to build a star-picking tower. He began to plunder the people's wealth on a large scale, causing the people to complain.
Zhunti calculated with his fingers and knew that the time had come, so he went to the palace to persuade Ji Chang to attack Zhou.
Ji Chang had other plans in mind. He said to Zhunti, "Although King Zhou is unrighteous, as a subject, I cannot be disloyal. Master, please go back."
Zhunti was furious and disgusted with these mortals' dilatory behavior. He suddenly missed the ancient times when whoever had the bigger fist had the final say.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Amitabha, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and saw the imperial star moving westward. It should be in Xiqi. Your Majesty is destined by heaven and should follow the will of heaven."
Ji Chang was delighted and waited for the immortal's golden order to establish his legitimacy, but he pretended to be conflicted and refused several times. Finally, he agreed reluctantly after being persuaded by his ministers and Zhunti.
Then, he sent troops to Chaoge.
Zhunti remembered that Kong Shuang had stirred up trouble in the Battle of Zhuolu and helped Huangdi defeat Chiyou. He thought she was not as good as himself, so he decided to let the whole world see that he was much more powerful than Kong Shuang in the battle against King Zhou.
But as a saint, he had to save face and could not act rashly, so he sent most of his Western disciples to accompany him. Fearing that Ashura would cause trouble without his knowledge, he dragged Minghe, Ashura and himself to hide and watch the battle.
On the other hand, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong returned to the court with a great victory in the expedition against Beihai. He found that the king was obsessed with women. Shang Rong, Bigan and others also accused the king of debauchery in recent years. Wen Zhong rolled up his sleeves and beat up the elderly King Zhou.
Daji was furious, but thinking of Nuwa's strict order not to harm any living creature, she had to endure it and then whispered in King Zhou's ear.
Wen Zhong was King Zhou's teacher and had assisted several generations of Shang kings. Logically speaking, spanking King Zhou a few times was no big deal, but King Zhou was already old and not a child. He felt extremely ashamed, angry and furious after being beaten.
It happened that Xiqi rebelled, so he hurriedly urged the Grand Tutor to attack Xiqi.
At this time, the civil servant Jiang Ziya stepped forward and begged to be allowed to join the Western Expedition with the Grand Master.
He did not forget his important task of becoming a god, and he needed to follow Master Wen to become a god during the war.
King Zhou secretly cursed him for being stupid, and couldn't understand why he had to go to the battlefield to seek death, but he still waved his hand and agreed to what he thought was an act of suicide.
Then, his uncle Jiang Ziya, a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and Wen Zhong, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, also fell in love with each other...
Jiang Ziya joined the sect late. When he joined, the Jiejiao had already moved away from Kunlun Mountain for many years. Although Wen Zhong joined the sect earlier than him, he also became a disciple in Penglai, and no one told him about his past with the Chenjiao.
As a result, both sides have the same idea in their minds: red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family.
In other words, Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong are uncle and nephew respectively.
The two men looked to be of similar age, and during the conversation, regardless of their seniority, they decided to call each other brothers.
Yun Zhongzi, who was practicing, opened his eyes and calculated that his junior fellow apprentice would go to the war soon, and that it was time for him to leave Chaoge. He went to say goodbye to Jiang Ziya and happened to see the two of them "loving each other".
Yunzhong wiped his eyes and twitched his lips slightly: "Junior brother, you have a wide circle of friends."
When the disciples of the orthodox sect met the disciples of the evil sect, who wouldn't be furious and glare at them? Why did such an outlier like Jiang Ziya appear?
Jiang Ziya introduced the two to each other, and Wen Zhong immediately called him uncle master enthusiastically.
Yun Zhongzi smiled awkwardly and began to debate whether to agree. He was afraid that Wen Zhong's teacher, Jin Ling, would find out and come stab him with the Flying Golden Sword...
