Chapter 16 The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield shows its power and subdues the Pipa Spirit
"Empress." The Jade Emperor called softly from the dragon chair.
The Queen Mother then put away her majesty and tried her best to calm down her turbulent heart: "Who took away the two Dragon Princes?"
"According to Hai Yaksha, he was taken away by Yin Jiao and Yin Hong." The general said in a low voice: "And these two people are the disciples of Kunlun Golden Immortal Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjing."
"Kunlun Golden Immortal...it's Chan Jiao again. Chan Jiao must go against me!" The Queen Mother couldn't help roaring.
"Empress, calm down." The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.
The Queen Mother's chest was rising and falling, and she waved her hand at the god general: "You go down first."
"yes."
The god general stood up quickly, his body turned into a white light, and disappeared into the palace in an instant.
"If Shen Gongbao promoted the Dragon King of the East China Sea because of the empathy of the demon clan, then the matter may not be that simple when Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjie's disciples took away the two dragon princes." The Queen Mother said with a solemn face.
The Jade Emperor pondered: "Maybe it's also because of Shen Gongbao."
"Even because of him, Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjing are willing to take away the Dragon Prince, which is enough to prove the problem. It's not like they don't know the attitude of the Heavenly Court towards the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea." The Queen Mother said.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry about the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea for now. A little impatience will mess up the big plan. The most important thing now is to continue to promote the plan of becoming a god. The human king must die. In the future, there can only be an emperor in the world, and there can be no more human kings!"
The Queen Mother was very unwilling.
The matter of the East China Sea Dragon Clan is like a thorn stuck in her throat. She won’t be able to pull it out quickly, and she won’t be able to spit it out quickly. But what the Jade Emperor said is right. Even if the entire East China Sea Dragon Clan is unblocked, it will not affect the rule of heaven.
, On the contrary, the human king is the biggest obstacle to their control of the three realms...
world.
Emperor Xin didn't know what kind of terrifying plan he was facing. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the imperial garden and watched with a smile on his face as his beloved concubine Daji lost her temper at a flower.
"Why did this flower offend you?"
"Your Majesty!" Daji, who was grabbing the petals, quickly turned around, bowed deeply, and revealed her magnificent ravine to Di Xin.
Di Xin came to her and held her hands: "You haven't answered the lonely king yet."
Daji sighed: "The flowers didn't offend me, it was the people who offended me."
Di Xin's face was full of surprise: "Is there anyone in this palace who dares to be disrespectful to my beloved concubine?"
"Why not?" Daji snuggled into his arms and said, "The seventy-two maids in Queen Jiang's palace cry every day, so I have to wear sackcloth and mourn for Queen Jiang. When I think about it, I feel sick and uncomfortable.
.”
As she said that, she took Di Xin's hand and put it on her heart with a sad look on her face.
Di Xin laughed: "What do I think it is? Let's do this. King Gu will leave all these seventy-two people to you. How about that?"
Daji's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"
Emperor Xin laughed: "The king has no words to joke."
Daji took the initiative to offer a kiss and was as happy as a little girl: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Di Xin took advantage of her, pinched her nose and said, "You are such an adult, but you still act like a little girl."
Daji had a sweet smile on her face and her eyes were shining: "Your Majesty, I want to be the queen..."
"The lonely king is wrong. You are not like a little girl, but just a little girl. You don't know how to be euphemistic. If the lonely king hadn't doted on you alone, your words would have brought huge disaster to you. Do you know that?" Di Xin said.
.
Daji said: "I am protected by the king, so I have nothing to fear."
Emperor Xin smiled, and then said seriously: "This matter is not easy to handle. The four major princes have been disobedient to the propaganda, and they are headed by Dongbohou. Since Jiang Wenya's death, Donglu has lost touch with Chaoge.
We are united. If the lonely king makes you his queen again, I’m afraid..."
"Jiang Wenya died in the rebellion, how dare Donglu fail to raise an army because of her?" Daji asked.
Emperor Xin said: "As long as Dong Bohou wants to and is willing to pay a huge price, he can gather hundreds of princes in the name of Qingjun to attack Chaoge. If the other three princes and kings respond one after another, eight hundred princes will be killed in an instant.
It is a situation where all the princes are rebelling."
Daji frowned slightly, and then said: "I understand, I understand. The four princes and kings are our innermost dangers in the Yin Shang Dynasty. If this is the case, why doesn't the king summon the four princes and kings into the capital and kill them quickly? Four places
The new monarch does not have the prestige of the old master, so even if he claims to be a Qing monarch, except for his own soldiers and horses, other princes should not dare to respond. In this way, our enemies are at most the four major princes states, not the princes of the world."
Di Xin's heart moved and he said: "It's windy outside. My beloved, please go back to the palace first. I'll go and think about it carefully."
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty." Daji saluted.
In the long street, there is a fortune-telling parlor.
Jiang Ziya sat behind the long table opposite the door, divining fortunes for the people who came to tell fortunes, and spoke sincerely.
In the corner, Qin Yao was also sitting behind a table, but instead of divination coins or turtle shells, there was a pile of melon seed peels on the table.
Although the sound of cracking melon seeds was very subtle, it still attracted the attention of many onlookers.
The main reason is that they have never seen such snacks and do not understand why humans can make such knocking sounds like rodents.
In fact, the earliest record of melon seeds in Chinese history was the Northern Song Dynasty, but the melon seeds at that time were mainly watermelon seeds.
It was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that sunflowers and pumpkins were introduced to China, but it was not until the Republic of China that sunflower seeds from sunflowers suddenly emerged and became a snack all over the streets.
Therefore, the people of the Yin Shang Dynasty had never seen this thing.
Not only the people of the Yin Shang Dynasty had never seen this thing, Taiyi had not seen it either.
After wandering in front of Qin Yao three times in a row, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Junior brother, what are you eating?"
Qin Yao immediately handed a small bag of melon seeds to the other party and said with a smile: "Try the melon seeds."
A little filial piety can buy ten bags of this thing in the mall, so he was willing to share it.
Taiyi rubbed his hands and took the bag of melon seeds with a rather weird packaging, and started knocking it like Qin Yao.
After just one bite, he was full of fondness for this little snack full of caramel flavor.
tasty.
too delicious.
Caramel-flavored melon seeds are definitely a dimension-reducing blow in the snack industry in this era.
"Kakakaka."
"Kakakaka."
Listening to the continuous clicking sounds, Jiang Ziya endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back.
But he did not dare to lose his temper with these two people, so he had to announce the end of work early and persuade the people who came to divine fortune to leave.
Most of the people are very cooperative. If someone is closed for business, you can't force them to work, right?
But a woman in green who had been queuing in the crowd for a long time didn't think so. When Jiang Ziya started to persuade everyone to leave, she stepped forward and asked loudly: "Why doesn't it count if you say it doesn't count?"
Jiang Ziya explained: "I'm really sorry, because I suddenly felt a little upset. If I force the divination, I'm afraid it won't be accurate, so I just don't care."
"Are you the only fortune teller in your fortune telling parlor? Is there anyone else?" the woman in green asked.
Jiang Ziya said: "Yes, I am the only fortune teller."
The woman in green said arrogantly: "Since there is no other fortune teller, you have to tell me, otherwise my team will be in vain? Ordinary people can bear this kind of grievance, but I can't bear it."
Jiang Ziya was helpless and was about to continue to persuade her. Qin Yao, who was sitting in the corner eating melon seeds, suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Jiang, let me settle it for her."
The woman in green clothes followed the sound and questioned: "Little Taoist priest, what if you are not accurate?"
Qin Yao came to the hexagram table step by step, his smile did not change, and his voice remained the same: "If it is not accurate, I will let you deal with it, how about it?"
"This is what you said." The woman in green quickly came to the table, sat down on the chair, and said, "Let's get started."
Qin Yao sat behind the hexagram table and asked, "What does the girl want to do?"
The woman in green clothes smiled half-heartedly: "Before you really tell your fortune, do you need to prove your strength?"
Qin Yao nodded: "This is reasonable. How do you think it is better for me to prove it myself?"
The woman in green pointed back at herself and said with a smile: "Based on my face, if you can figure out who I am by my last name, you will have succeeded in self-certification."
Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the girl's surname should be Yu. The real name of Yu is Pipa."
The face of the woman in green changed slightly, but she soon returned to normal: "I don't see how much you really know how to do it."
In fact, her name is not Yu Pipa, but Yu Pipa is her true appearance. In other words, this Taoist saw her true identity at a glance, so it was not wrong to call her Yu Pipa.
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "If you don't have a few moral standards, you won't dare to volunteer."
The woman in green took a breath silently and said, "Maybe the Taoist Master figured out my purpose?"
"Do you mean to come to Chaoge, or do you mean to come to this fortune-telling parlor?" Qin Yao confirmed.
The woman in green said: "Tell us everything."
Qin Yao said: "You came to Chaoge to join your sister. When you passed by our fortune-telling parlor, you saw so many people gathered around the door. You were so happy that you wanted to try the fortune teller's skills."
The woman in green clothes stood up suddenly, her face full of shock: "Can this be calculated?"
Qin Yao said calmly: "Half calculation and half reasoning, I calculated that you came to seek refuge with my sister, but I reasoned that you didn't go to see her first. Just because whenever you go to see her, she will warn you not to
Those seeking death come here to provoke us."
The woman in green felt something bad and turned around to leave.
Qin Yao flipped his hand and threw out the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield, and the golden magic weapon like a bell flew out. In an instant, it turned into a huge copper shield surrounded by nine dragons, and covered the woman in green with a bang.
The onlookers looked through the translucent golden copper shield, and saw a flash of divine fire, and the woman in green was refined into a delicate and beautiful jade pipa, suspended in the center of the divine fire shield.
"Meet the Immortal."
Fortunately for Jiang Ziya and Taiyi Zhenren, those flat-headed people had never seen such a scene before. They were shocked and knelt down to worship and shouted piously.
Qin Yao raised his hands, and a stream of immortal energy flew out from his hands, lifting everyone outside the door up: "You don't have to be polite, please go back."
The common people did not dare to disobey the immortal and dispersed one after another. After the crowd dispersed, Uncle Jiu stepped into the fortune-telling parlor, looked at the jade pipa in the sacred fire cover, shook his head and said: "There is a road to heaven if you don't take it, and there is no door to hell."
He was the kind of person who couldn't bear loneliness. After settling in Chaoge, he rarely stayed in his residence. Now he just went around the streets to feel the customs and customs of the Yin and Shang era.
Qin Yao raised his hand and put away the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield and the jade lute, and said softly: "The jade pipa spirit is coming, and the pheasant spirit is probably coming soon."
Uncle Jiu muttered: "There are so many onlookers to collect the demon today, I'm afraid the matter will soon reach the palace."
Qin Yao turned to look at Jiang Shang, who was confused, and asked, "Don't you understand?"
Jiang Shang nodded honestly: "Yes, I can understand the words, but I don't know what they mean. You seem to know a lot of things that we don't know."
Qin Yao said: "Actually, there are not many. To put it simply, Daji in the palace is a vixen, and this vixen has two good sisters, namely the jade pipa spirit and the pheasant spirit. The one we caught today is the former
, after the vixen finds out, he will definitely come to us and cause trouble."
Taiyi blinked and asked curiously: "How do you know these things?"
Qin Yao made up a random reason: "They are demons, and I am also a demon. No one knows everything about the demon world better than me."
Taiyi understands.
This reason is indeed impeccable.
The fact was just as Qin Yao expected. As the news about the discovery of a living immortal in the fortune-telling parlor spread, the rumor that the living immortal cast a spell to collect a jade pipa spirit also spread to the palace and reached Daji's ears.
"Bang."
After hearing this interesting conversation from her personal maid, Daji's hand slipped and the tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Empress, are you okay?" the maid asked with concern.
Daji's chest kept rising and falling. After a long time, she finally calmed down and waved her hands: "I'm fine."
The maid looked at her face and asked tentatively: "Does the empress have an old acquaintance with that pipa spirit?"
Daji narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do you ask?"
This maid of hers is not an ordinary person, she cannot even be called a human being, but a fierce ghost living in the deep palace. After being rescued by her thousand-year-old fox, she took on the body of a maid named Zhan Juan.
From then on, she gave Zhanjuan the status of confidant in the den of foxes and ghosts, and Zhanjuan helped her defeat Queen Jiang, and even won over Fei Zhongyouhun and other officials, establishing the authority of her beloved concubine.
Therefore, she was not surprised that Zhanjuan could see the truth. She was just curious about what new ideas the other party had...
"If the empress wants to save the Pipa Spirit, I have an idea." Zhan Juan said.
Daji still believed in Zhanjuan's plan and immediately asked: "What's the idea?"
"Those immortals and gods who claim to be righteous talk so much about benevolence, morality, and justice in the world that they are so hypocritical that it is disgusting, and this is also their weakness.
The empress only needs to order the people in the city to catch snakes to attract their attention, then dig a snake pit in the imperial garden to contain the snakes, announce the time, and push the seventy-two slaves in Queen Jiang's palace into the pit to feed them. Snake. In order to save these seventy-two people, they will definitely enter the palace, and then the queen will be able to control them."
Daji looked at her deeply and praised: "You still have a way."
Zhan Juan smiled and said: "When you meet your empress, you must meet your master. I dare not not think of you with all my heart."
Daji laughed loudly and said: "Very good, when I become the queen, you will be the chief steward in this harem second only to me. We, master and servant, share weal and woe!"
