The two of them, Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao, decided on the plan and stopped messing around. They packed their bags, closed the cave door, and went on a spontaneous trip.
"Master, should we take the cloud road or the land road?"
"Yunlu, if you have higher magic power, you can carry me on your back in the mist."
"Master, where are we going?"
"The west……"
Liu Qiao didn't know where Jiang Shang was, but he only inferred based on the vague memory of "King Wen visited Panxi" in his previous life.
Since King Wen's fiefdom was named Xiqi, it must be in the west.
Comparing the time, we can conclude that Jiang Shangzheng is now living in seclusion in Panxi, and Panxi is under the rule of King Wen.
If you want to find Jiang Shang, you must go west.
Changlong rides on the wind and smoke, picks up Liu Qiao, and the master and apprentice, half in the clouds and half in the mist, are more than ten feet above the ground and go west.
…………
From the time when Shang Hui met the eight hundred towns in the world, the princes and merchants came to court. The four chief officials of the four towns were Jiang Hengchu of the East Bo, E Chongyu of the South Bo, Chonghou Hu of the North Bo, and Jichang of the West Bo.
However, Emperor Xin doted on the evil concubine, and there were also treacherous and sycophantic Fei Zhong, and You Hun slandered her.
The four wise men came to the court alone and brought rare tributes from outside the country. They saw the enchanting concubine in the court bewitching the king's heart and the treacherous sycophants blocking the king's side.
The slanderous ministers tend to follow the influence, the court is smoky, the border towns are rotten, the harem is filthy, the ginger queen is roasted, the eyes are gouged out and the tongue is cut.
They all jointly signed a letter to remonstrate with them, hoping to depose the demon concubine and kill the traitor, but they angered the emperor and all the demon gangs.
Dongbo Jiang Hengchu violated Yan Zhijian and was falsely accused of assassination. His body was cut into pieces outside the Meridian Gate and forced to rebel against Donglu Erbai Town.
Nanbo'e Chongyu was trying to protect Hengchu, but he was falsely accused of scolding the leader. He paraded outside the Meridian Gate and forced the two hundred towns of Nanchu to rebel.
Only Beibei Hou secretly bribed Fei You and the two traitors, and was able to save his life, but he was reduced in rank and salary.
Jichang, the Western Bodhisattva, was known as a loyal and virtuous man who was good at performing innate numbers. The people called him a saint, but he was tabooed by Emperor Xin.
Fortunately, many civil and military officials, as well as Wei Zi, Ji Zi and other clan kings, threatened him with death, so he was able to avoid the death penalty.
He was just imprisoned in Youli and was not allowed to return to his country. In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.
Until recently, Emperor Xin ground his son Bo Yikao into meat cakes and gave Ji Chang food to test his innate number.
Ji Chang pretended not to know and ate the flesh of the seeds. When Emperor Xin saw this, he let go of his fear.
Also, Qixiang Sanyi made a scheme to bribe Fei Zhong and two treacherous ministers Youhun acted as guarantees, and Emperor Xin then pardoned Ji Chang.
To express his guilt, Ji Chang was given a banquet of Longde, a white jade, and a yellow ax. He was also rewarded with red and purple clothes, a jade fish bag, and was paraded through the streets as an official.
Ji Chang did not dare to stay long, fearing that something might happen, so he took his attendants, dressed as scouts, and escaped from Chaoge overnight.
When Emperor Xin heard the report, he became suspicious again. He was afraid that the tiger would return to the forest, so he sent troops to chase him.
Although Ji Chang and his party ran for their lives, they crossed the Yellow River in just one day, passed Mianchi, and headed straight for Lintong.
However, the fleeing officials were blocked by passes along the way and did not dare to go onto the main road. They only dared to go around some small roads in the mountains and forests. How could they escape the imperial soldiers and horses like this?
After passing Jichang and not far from Mianchi, there were already two soldiers and horses from the imperial court blocking the way.
There was a wave of more than a thousand cavalry in front of them, and the banner read "Shenwu General Lei".
A general in front of the formation, with a purple face and long beard, a wind-winged helmet, chain mail, and a red robe. When he saw Ji Chang, he reined in his horse and shouted: "Go to Xibo, I am here..."
But it was the Shenwu General Lei Kai who led the troops.
"Drive..." Ji Chang quickly turned the horse's head and walked back. But as soon as he turned around, smoke and dust were everywhere on the side of the slope.
There was another group of men and horses, their banners covered the sky, their swords and spears were like a forest, and the banner read "Shenwei Great General Yin".
A general with a black face and curly beard, a chain of armor, a yellow robe, and a dancing halberd came out and shouted coldly: "Yin is here, Xibo, stay here. The king wants to see you, come back to Chaoge with me quickly..."
General Quezheng Shenwei, veteran general Yin Pobai leads the troops.
Rao Shi Ji Chang was known as the wise king and saint, but he was actually a civil servant. Seeing this scene, he was frightened out of his wits as he fought front and back.
Thinking about Emperor Xin's nature, he must have become suspicious, and now he is caught alive. If he returns to Chaoge, he will be cut to pieces with a thousand knives and his heart will be torn out with cannons.
Ji Chang wanted to run again, but there were thunderous and fierce soldiers in front of him blocking the way, and Yin Pobai was chasing after him.
It is also Ji Chang's fate that should not be cut off. Heaven's destiny cannot bear the suffering of saints, so there are moral people who come to help him.
When General Yin Lei saw Ji Chang lying faceless on the road, his face turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to send his troops to arrest him, a man suddenly came from the roadside singing a song:
At the beginning of chaos, no one remembers the year. The herbs are collected in the northern mountains and refined in the southern mountains.
The gourd is filled with the essence of the sun and moon, and the tip of the sword is still stained with the blood of the dragon.
The elixir head of Honglu bursts with gold and silver, and a little spiritual light shines through the room.
Know the power to shake the universe, see success in escaping life and death.
What does this Taoist look like: a lotus crown, an elegant bun with twin silk buns; an apricot yellow robe with baguette sleeves and two wide winds; a face like a crown jade, a short beard under the chin, a sword on his back that is hidden in the cold light, and a fly whisk in his hand to sweep away the clouds.
General Yin Lei shouted: "What is the Taoist doing here at that famous mountain?"
"Liu Qiao, a poor Taoist qigong master from Jinshi Mountain, is here to stop the sword soldiers..." Liu Qiao flicked his fly whisk and looked back.
He then spoke warmly to Jichang and said, "Don't panic, worthy lord. We have Nazi here, and we will ensure that the worthy lord retreats in good order."
"Master Xie, it's just... alas..."
Ji Chang shook his head gratefully, bowed and said: "Taoist Priest is alone, how can he defeat the imperial army? This is what Ji Chang's destiny is. Taoist Priest, please leave quickly and don't be implicated."
Yin Pobai raised his halberd and shouted: "That Taoist dares to speak big words and wants to stop the imperial army. Could it be that he is a demon party? Let's take some and escort them back to Chaoge..."
"Yeah..."
Lei Kai had already given a loud shout, led Yi Biao on horseback, raised his horse and waved his spear, and stabbed Liu Qiao first, intending to skewer his spear into a bloody gourd.
"Zheng..."
Lei Kai's martial arts skills were sparse. When Liu Qiao saw him stabbing with a spear, although he was somewhat imposing, it was all due to the power of his armor and horses. He didn't even draw his sword, but just rolled up the dust and swept his spear away several feet.
"Xilulu...plop"
When the thunder was blocked, the horse lost its front hoof, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground in disgrace. He made a rolling gourd first.
Those personal soldiers were afraid that the general would be lost, so they did not dare to step forward. They just rushed on horseback to snatch Lei Kai back and helped him aside.
Yin was defeated and knew that it was hard to be merciful, so he also summoned soldiers and horses to fight with halberds.
Liu Qiao was also a skilled archer and horseman. When he saw Yin's dilapidated battle, he knew that his martial arts skills were extraordinary and there were soldiers and horses surrounding him. He did not dare to entrust him, so he hurriedly twisted the sand and sprinkled it. In a flash of yellow light, he disappeared.
"Could it be a ghost? Why is this man missing?" But the soldiers below saw this strange behavior and muttered one after another.
"Hmph...it's just the Five Elements Escape Technique, you have no guts..." Yin Pobai sneered.
While he was laughing, he heard a soft shout from above his head: "Here..."
Then he saw a stream of green energy coming towards him. Before Yin Pobai could react, he was touched by the green energy. With a "plop", he fell from his horse, his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"General..."
"Brother Yin..."
All the sergeants and Lei Kai were shocked. When they looked up, they saw on the top of the cliff on the roadside, it was the Taoist in yellow holding a banner, releasing green energy, and knocking Yin Pobai off his horse. They all exclaimed the magic trick. .
Ji Chang hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Immortal, please don't hurt their lives. They are just minions. They are here under the king's orders. They are innocent..."
Liu Qiao nodded briefly and made a gesture. A trace of black smoke flew out of Yin's broken seven orifices. He put away his spell and said to Lei Kai below: "I only came here to save the worthy candidate. General Yin woke up in a short time. General Lei, I know you."
We have all been loyal and good ministers for generations, but I hope that we can see right from wrong and let Uncle Xi go.
General, please go and return to the court to sing and admonish Emperor Xin. He must love the people, respect the sacred, and do less evil. Perhaps the fortunes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties can be continued."
Lei Kai saw that this Taoist had "magic skills" and knew that he was invincible. He sighed and said to Ji Chang: "There are strong generals and elite soldiers at the five passes along the way. Xibo is good at taking care of himself..."
After saying this, he bowed his hands towards Liu Qiao, and the sergeants carried Yin Banbai, and led the troops to Chao Ge to return to his command.
"Thank you, Immortal, for your help. I can't repay you for this kindness..." Ji Chang saluted and bowed.
Liu Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This is a destiny. I am waiting for you all the way. I have my own moral protection. Now that the pursuers have retreated, please hurry up and go..."
"Chang Immortal, why don't you go with me...the five levels..."
Ji Chang said with some worry, but there are elite soldiers and strong generals in all five passes, and they are experts in foreign affairs. How can he get along now that he is alone?
Then he grabbed Liu Qiao's arm and said, "The Immortal is a highly moral person. Why don't you follow me to Xiqi? I would like to worship the Taoist as your prime minister and build temples to worship the Immortal..."
Liu Qiao shook his head and said: "I will go there, but not now. Don't worry about me. You just go forward. Someone will help you in a short while. Don't worry."
After saying this, without waiting for Ji Chang to persuade him to stay, with a touch of his sleeves and robe, he turned into yellow light and disappeared.
Seeing this, Jichang could only sigh and hurried on the mountain alone, hungry and hungry.
…
"Master, have you finished your work?" Not far away, Chang Long flew over under the wind and mist.
However, not long after the two masters and apprentices came out of the mountain, they were passing through Mianchi County when they were blocked by a gust of golden wind. Chang Long was good at sniffing the wind and knew that someone was fighting in front.
He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when Liu Qiao went up to take a look, he realized that it was King Wen who had praised the official for escaping from five passes and was being hunted by the court.
It was also determined that when a saint was in trouble, there were immortals to help him. Liu Qiao learned the Tao and knew how to obey nature and respond to people. Now that he saw it, he had to take action.
"Well... let's go..."
Chang Long lifted up the clouds, drove Liu Qiao, and continued to fly towards the west. He asked doubtfully: "Master, why are you going to such great lengths to save a mortal?"
"This person is the Holy Lord of Destiny. How can we tolerate him being in trouble? Now that we have encountered him, we have to save him."
Chang Long was confused after hearing this, shook his head and said: "Rescue this person to the end, why don't you help him pass the five levels? He is alone, old and frail, he may not be able to go far, and he will be captured by bandits and monsters."
"He is the Holy Lord of Destiny. He is accompanied by dragons and tigers when he walks. He is protected by divine powers. How can any demon dare to take him?"
However, when Liu Qiao met Ji Chang just now, he looked at him with his Dharma eyes and saw ghosts and gods hiding in the sky, secretly protecting Ji Chang from tigers, wolves, ghosts and monsters.
Moreover, according to memory, the True Immortal of the Twelve Caves of Chanjiao had known about this matter in advance.
If Ji Chang can't go far, Yun Zhongzi, Lei Zhenzi, will come down the mountain to help him pass the five passes.
Liu Qiao had already let his face slip. He had succeeded in saving King Wen and supporting the Holy Master, so why should he take the credit from Lei Zhenzi? Wouldn't he offend Yun Zhongzi in vain?
