Chao Ge Chapter 8 Immortals Fighting for the Mortal
Three months later.
Xiqi City.
Under the blue sky, Li Ping'an and young Ji Dan were sitting on a tall pile of millet, watching 'father' Ji Chang leading a group of Ji family members to perform a political show there.
Isn't this a political show?
The dignified Xibohou did not think about how to improve people's livelihood, develop production, train soldiers and horses, deal with injustice, and free slaves. Instead, he spent his limited time on this kind of behavior to win people's hearts.
Apart from anything else, Ji Chang's harvesting efficiency was too slow.
Among the officials and generals who went to the fields with Xibohou, as well as the common people, miners, and slaves in the distance, who dared to cut faster than Xibohou? At the risk of his life?
This resulted in a significant drop in overall harvesting efficiency, and Ji Chang obviously had a counterproductive effect.
"Fourth! Why are you lazy again!"
Ji Fa ran over carrying a roll of crops.
After several years of not seeing each other, Ji Fa's body bones have completely grown and he has turned into a dark-skinned man with a dignified appearance. Ji Fa's face cannot be said to be unhandsome, but it can only be said that he is too brave and masculine.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm helping you figure out when it will rain. As long as I sit here, it won't rain."
Ji Fa stared and asked, "Ah? Everyone said that you learned a lot in Chaoge City. They also said that you can communicate with gods in your dreams. Is this true?"
"You lied to them, and you believe it, second brother."
"I'll tell you!"
Ji Fa jumped onto the millet pile with a quick step, took off the water belt from his waist, drank some water, and handed it to Li Ping'an.
"Here! The mountain spring water over there in the pasture!"
Li Pingan's expression was slightly disgusted, and he snapped his fingers to the side, and the female guard immediately moved forward with tea.
Ji Fa directly stuffed the water bottle into it: "You can just drink it! There are many things to do!"
"Haha," Li Ping'an laughed dryly, "Second brother, you came here specifically to collect crops? Aren't you guarding the border in the west?"
Ji Fa sighed: "Otherwise? My father wants me to come back to experience farming, so I have no choice but to come back and experience farming. My father said, we must remember that farming is not easy, understand the suffering of the people, and we cannot kill those slaves indiscriminately.
Slaves can also work together for everyone... These are the same principles over and over again."
"fine."
Li Pingan put his hands behind his head, stared at the blue sky and white clouds, and said quietly:
"No matter what, this is better than those who are indifferent to the life and death of the people of Li and do not seek to govern themselves in their positions."
"Huh? Who are you mapping?"
"The merchant nobles in Chaoge City," Li Ping'an said casually, "Whenever my second brother is free, he should go to Chaoge City to broaden his horizons."
"Me? Wait until the eldest brother gets homesick. I will be his proton for a period of time, if the king allows me."
Ji Fa sighed:
"In the past few years, my eldest brother has actually said some bad things about you in the letters he sent back.
"Fourth child, I know that you are smart and highly valued by the king. I also know that you came back voluntarily to protect our Xibohou Mansion and avoid repeating the disaster of our grandfather.
"But sometimes, we brothers are brothers after all. We do everything together as brothers. As the saying goes, brothers connecting hearts are more powerful than gold..."
"Second brother, what do you want to say?"
"Well," Ji Fa scratched his head and smiled, "I want to say, if you hear others saying something wrong about your elder brother, don't blame your elder brother. He is trapped in Chaoge City. If he offends you, there will definitely be problems.
of."
There were several black lines hanging on Li Ping'an's forehead: "Why am I an outsider? Second brother, do you treat me like a scourge?"
"Before you came back, my father just asked some of our brothers to give them some advice."
Ji Fa spread his hands:
"I said that you once accompanied the king to study and were the most trusted person by the king. The king once said that you should be ranked among the three princes.
"He also said that if you have any dissatisfaction at home later, everyone may be punished."
Li Ping'an's expression gradually became serious.
It seems that he, Ji Dan, has done so many things in Chaoge City that...
He was alienated and jealous by his father Ji Chang.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about this.
The relationship between father and son these days is relatively simple yet complicated. Ji Chang has suffered from "mental trauma". Whenever matters involving Chaoge City are involved, Ji Chang will be cautious.
Why don't he just move out of the Xibohou Mansion in the future, find a house in Xiqi City, walk around, and understand the path of all living beings? This is his business.
Just as Li Ping'an was about to say something, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the horizon.
There is a white cloud flying slowly towards here.
Ji Fa exclaimed, stood up with eyes shining, almost fell off the millet pile, pointed to the horizon and exclaimed: "There are clouds! Father! The clouds have fallen!"
Ji Chang looked up after hearing this;
All the people in the field looked up.
A white cloud shaped like Ganoderma lucidum slowly fell towards this place. Standing on the white cloud was a Taoist with a childish face and white hair, holding a whisk in his hand, but he was the immortal who explained the teaching, Chi Jing.
Because Li Ping'an went into hiding, Chi Jingzhi did not notice Ji Dan's abnormality at first.
This is also Li Ping'an's fault. In order to realize the truth of all living beings, he really turned this incarnation into a mortal at this moment, and also deliberately erased Ji Dan's origin in the way of heaven.
If he didn't have a deep understanding of the way of heaven, he wouldn't be able to see through his disguise.
The red sperm fell straight towards Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was happy at first, and then surprised. He quickly took a few steps back, lowered his head and continued to cut corn.
"Don't be idle! Harvest the crops before the rain!"
Li Ping'an: Then if you don't take action, the efficiency may be improved a lot.
The subjects didn't understand why, and many people had bowed their heads and knelt down, kowtowing to the gods in the fields.
Chi Jingzheng smiled and nodded, waving the whisk in his hand, and a wisp of fresh air turned into a breeze and blew across the fields.
All mortals who feel this breeze will feel relaxed and happy, and their minds will be at peace, and their hidden diseases will completely subside.
The number of people kneeling and kowtow suddenly became more numerous.
Chi Jingjie was very satisfied with this appearance of the saint in front of people. He smiled and stroked his beard and fell behind Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was busy cutting crops.
Chi Jingjie said slowly: "Xi Bohou?"
Ji Chang didn't answer.
Chi Jingzhi frowned slightly, and he could tell that this Xibohou was deliberately ignoring him.
Chi Jingjie asked again: "Where is Ji Chang?"
The courtiers of Xiqi City on the side were kneeling there in worry.
Chi Jing was a little unable to get off the stage, so he flicked the whisk in his hand, and Ji Chang was surrounded by a ray of golden light and floated off the ground.
The mortals around had never seen this scene before, and they all kowtowed and begged the gods to forgive their lord.
Ji Chang said angrily: "You, please let me down!"
"You, a mortal prince, are really strange!"
Chi Jing shook the whisk again, frowned and said:
"Pindao passed by this place and saw that you have extraordinary luck. I wanted to come down and get to know you. I never thought you were so ignorant! Could it be that I think Pindao is the swindler?"
Ji Chang fell to the ground, took two steps back, and was supported by Ji Fa who rushed over.
Ji Chang sighed heavily: "You are a god, why are you looking for me?"
"I have already told you that I am passing by here and want to get acquainted with you. I think you have extraordinary luck..."
"There's no luck! Nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Chang shouted anxiously.
He looked to the left and right and whispered: "God, if you really want to bless me, please go to my house later. Don't stay here, for fear of great disaster!"
Red sperm is full of confusion.
Ji Fa on the side strongly supported Ji Chang's arm and looked at the pile of grains beside him as if asking for help.
Ji Fa just wanted to call his fourth brother, the smartest brother in the family, to come over and deal with it, but at this moment he found that Ji Dan had disappeared and seemed to have hidden behind the grain pile.
Chi Jingzheng groaned for a few times. He really couldn't understand Ji Chang's reaction, so he decided to leave for now and come back in the evening.
Just as Chi Jing was about to leave in the clouds, he suddenly heard a clear laughter coming from the clouds.
"Hahahahaha!"
Chi Jingzhi frowned slightly, looked up, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Two figures slowly descended from the clouds. The middle-aged Taoist leader, with an upright face and a slightly sharp aura, was Qin Wan, the Ten Heavenly Lord of Jin'ao Island. The golden Virgin Mary on one side was dressed in golden clothes.
It is full of charm, graceful and charming.
Chi Jingzhi had already expected that as long as he showed up, the Immortal of Jie Jiao would probably show up.
The current steps of action of the two sects are almost the same. They are wandering around Nanzhou to see which prince has good luck, and they will form a good relationship with this prince.
And Xibohou Jichang was the person they focused on.
What Aka Seiko is a little dissatisfied about is...
His dignified saint disciple who ranks second among the Twelve Golden Immortals, the one who appears here should be one or two of the eight major disciples!
Now here comes the Ten Heavenly Lord of Jin'ao Island who can only be ranked in the middle or upper reaches of the Jie Jiao!
How can this make the red sperm not angry?
Chi Jingsheng darkened his face and said directly: "Are these two fellow Taoists here to pick a fight with Pindao?"
"Hey," Qin Wan bowed his hands and said with a smile as he recited the advice of his senior brother Duobao, "How dare I pick a fight with my fellow Taoist? I just happened to pass by this place and happened to take a look with the method of observing Qi.
, seeing that this Xibohou has a long luck and a talent that can be made, so I came down to get to know this Xibohou a little bit."
Ji Chang couldn't help but frown tightly.
What's going on?
Two gods came to look for him?
Could it be that the divination and sacrificial rituals he performed in the cellar really successfully communicated with the gods? Could it be that he... he could really offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth on behalf of the King of Shang...
Ji Chang suddenly gave up this recurring thought.
Ji Chang stood aside with cold eyes and frowned at these people. His father's head appeared in front of his eyes, as well as his father's body that had been dismantled into hundreds of pieces...
Ji Chang suddenly felt like vomiting.
He forced himself to hold back at this moment and just stood there, looking coldly at the three gods.
If the gods could really hear his prayers, why didn't they come quietly...
The red sperm over there glanced at Ji Chang, and said to Qin Wan and the Golden Lady with a dark face:
"Don't you two fellow Taoists think that these words are a bit ridiculous? Pindao came here first. Even if you two want to get acquainted with Xibohou, you should wait for Pindao to leave. Why, fellow Taoists can't wait to think about it.
Have you competed with Pindao?"
"Why!"
Qin Wan smiled and said:
"We should fully respond to Taoist Master's call, act according to the rules, avoid private fights, and pay attention to friendship."
Our Lady of Golden Light also said: "So what if everyone knows Xibohou acquaintances? Your Majesty Xibohou, we are the Qi Refiners of Jin'ao Island and have been traveling here. I have prepared a small gift here for Xibohou to accept!"
Jin Guang took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and the brocade box was filled with light golden light.
Ji Chang groaned a few times, wondering whether he should pick it up.
Chi Jing shook the dust and took out a jade pot from his sleeve. The jade pot contained several pills that could cure diseases and eliminate disasters.
He also said: "Xibohou must think clearly. Xibohou can only accept gifts from our two families. The relationship between them is very important."
Ji Chang was a little confused.
He looked at Chi Jingjing, then at Golden Light Holy Mother and Qin Wan. Both sides were coming on clouds, and there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Ji Chang suddenly realized...are these two gods fighting openly and secretly?
He sighed secretly in his heart.
I didn't expect that the world of gods is so complicated.
Ji Chang said calmly: "Thank you all for your kindness. I'm afraid I can't accept such a gift."
"Oh?" Chi Jingjing asked, "Does Xibohou have any unspeakable secrets?"
Qin Wan also said: "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a gesture, and I don't want to hide it from Xibohou. But for all the princes who have some influence, we will send some gifts later to build a good relationship."
Ji Chang was extremely confused, but his expression was still very calm.
He bowed and raised his hands in the direction of Chaoge City, and said seriously:
"All the gods have learned that this place is the land of Shang, and this king is the king of Shang. According to current laws and ancient rules, only the king can communicate with the gods.
"I am just a little Xibohou. I am located in the northwest and I am fighting against Qiang thieves. How dare I do such a transgressive act?
"The gods have gifts for the people. This fact really makes me deeply moved, but... the rules are the rules, and etiquette must never be discarded."
Red sperm:......
Qin Wan:......
"You Xibohou!" Our Lady of Golden Light frowned and scolded, "We came to give you gifts with good intentions, why did you teach us a lesson?"
"Hey! Little sister!"
Qin Wan stopped the Golden Lady, with a bit more appreciation in his eyes.
Chi Jing's face showed a sudden look on his face, he counted with his fingers, then shook his head and chuckled, and said slowly:
"I see, Xibohou attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, which is in perfect harmony with my teachings!
"I know all about Xibohou's difficulties here, but Xibohou still misunderstood that your so-called gods are there."
Red sperm pointed to the sky with a fly whisk and said slowly:
"You can't see it with your naked eyes. There used to be a divine court there, and there were many gods in it, including the kings of Shang and Xia, and many other gods.
"But this is old news.
"In the sky now, that divine court has long since disappeared. What we honor together is the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist Sect. The Heavenly Emperor is also called God. He has practiced hard for many years and gone through countless reincarnations. Finally, he has attained the Taoist fruit. He is upright and kind-hearted and is the leader of all immortals.
example."
Li Ping'an:......
Slander, this is absolutely slander!
How has he experienced so many years? He has also gone through countless reincarnations!
Good guy, Chi Jingjie, this seemingly loyal uncle, can actually be flattering.
Li Ping'an, who was hiding behind the pile of grains, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then I heard Chi Jing said:
"Pindao is not a god. In this world, regardless of wind, rain, thunder, drought or flood, Pindao is just a monk from outside, practicing with his teacher Yuanshi Tianzun in Yuxu Palace.
"The poor Taoist brother's name is Guangchengzi. If Xibohou has read classical books, he should have heard of this name."
"Yes, he is the Yellow Emperor's teacher!"
Ji Chang shouted excitedly.
Chi Jingzheng nodded slowly: "Yes, yes, Xibohou, don't worry, we will also go to Chaoge City to visit King Shang later."
After hearing this, Ji Chang finally nodded slowly.
Chi Jingzhi took advantage of the situation and said: "Xi Bohou, please accept the gift."
Ji Chang was about to reach out to pick it up.
Qin Wan on the side said: "Hey! Why doesn't Marquis Xibo listen to Pindao's origins before making a decision?"
Ji Chang: "This..."
Chi Jing scolded: "Fellow Taoist, this is too much! Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Why don't you give gifts later?"
"That won't work," Qin Wan said with a smile, "My family has always been very particular about the distinction between left and right, so it would be better for Xibohou to just take gifts from one family! Besides, my fellow Taoist has said so much, but I don't want to say a few words. I really feel sorry for him.
I am unwilling to do so."
A bit of light flashed in the red sperm's eyes.
"Is it possible that my Taoist friend just wants to get into trouble with Pindao?"
"Pindao is no match for fellow Taoist," Qin Wan said with a smile, "But Pindao also has a formation. If fellow Taoist can give you some advice, Pindao will also be happy to accompany you!"
"good!"
The tone of the red sperm is so high:
"Hsibohou will stay here later. Pindao will come back as soon as he goes!"
Qin Wan was eager to give it a try: "Little sister, watch the weather here. Don't let it rain here. Brother, go and learn the clever tricks from fellow Taoist Chi Jingjing!"
"You two..."
A somewhat lazy voice suddenly came from behind the pile of grains on the side:
"People from outside the country behave like people from outside the country. How can it be inappropriate to make noises here?"
The figure of the Holy Mother of Golden Light flashed and appeared directly behind the pile of grains, glaring and cursing:
