"It is said that Xibo Hou Jichang has come to Chaoge City to pay an audience!"
The voice of the Shang King's envoy hovered over the Xibohou Mansion.
Ji Chang seemed to have been prepared. While others were still in a daze, he had already bowed his head and saluted, shouting thank you for your grace.
The Xibohou Mansion immediately became nervous.
Not even two months after the fourth son of Xibohou was picked up by the gods, messengers were sent from Chaoge City to summon Sifang Bo and other princes to Chaoge City to pay homage to the king on his wedding day.
No matter how you look at this matter, there is something unusual about it.
But Ji Chang behaved extremely calmly.
He smiled calmly and said slowly to his retainers and sons:
"My eldest son is now in Chaoge City. After I go to Chaoge, you will have Fa'er as your backbone. Remember, you should care about the people of Li, encourage farmers and mulberry farmers, defend the Qiang people externally, and defend small countries internally.
"For some unknown reason, the Chong family of Beibei Hou is eyeing Xiqi. In recent years, he has been conquering several small countries, and seems to be aiming his sword at Xiqi.
"This matter has to be guarded against, and you all need to be careful."
The ministers of the Zhou Kingdom felt much more at ease.
Although everyone is afraid that "Emperor Yi kills Ji Li" will happen again;
But the king's order has come, and if they don't obey it, they are rebelling.
Facing the powerful Shang Kingdom and cruel merchants, Zhou did not dare.
It's quiet at night.
After sleeping for a whole day, Li Ping'an, who had actually spent a whole day comprehending the Dao of Heaven, slowly woke up on a simple bed, put on his shoes unhurriedly, drank tea, and was served by two deaf-mute old guards.
I washed briefly, then knelt down and sat behind a low table, and began today's cultivation of sentiment.
Looking at the expensive cloth in front of him, Li Ping'an didn't know what to write.
How about drawing a picture of a chicken eating rice? Then start to listen to the voices of all living beings and understand the true path of all living beings?
"Dan'er! Dan'er!"
Ji Chang's somewhat anxious shout came from the side.
Li Ping'an put down his homemade brush and looked up to see Ji Chang running out from behind the brazier in a furious manner.
"The King of Shang summoned me today and said that he wanted my father to attend his wedding banquet. There will be enfeoffment in the future. I don't know what it means!"
"Um?"
Li Ping'an was startled for a moment, then pinched his fingers slightly to make some calculations.
Tiandao didn't load any scripts, nor did he move forward?
Li Ping'an said: "Father, don't panic, the Kingdom of Zhou is your backing. The king is still young and in the prime of life. It is when he wants to make great achievements. He must have the confidence to rule the princes, rather than being as old as Emperor Yi."
Yeah, I'm too suspicious."
Ji Chang always felt that his fourth son was making insinuations.
Ji Chang paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands.
He actually knew it deep down, but he was just too stressed and wanted to come here to find comfort.
He said: "I'm afraid there will be many variables in everything here. If I leave Xiqi City, there is no guarantee that the king will not arrange for his confidants, that is, the Chong family of Bei Bo Hou to attack us. We have not received the king's order and cannot use Fang Bo's crusade.
But the Chong family has no power. He only needs to make up a few reasons to launch a military disaster."
Li Ping'an thought for a while and said slowly: "Father, don't worry, just go to Chaoge City, but leave a message to your second brother. If there is a military disaster, ask him to come down to find me, and I will show up to give him advice."
Ji Chang pondered for a few times: "Are you good at military affairs? There are some differences between government affairs and strategy."
"Father, don't worry, it's just a small matter."
Li Pingan shook his head with a smile:
"However, when my father goes to Chaoge City, he still needs to be careful not to disobey the king, let alone form cliques with other princes.
"What you want to do in your career, you must be patient, patient, and patient again."
"well!"
Ji Chang sighed: "Forget it, I will do a divination for my father and see what the weather will be like."
Li Ping'an thought for a while and finally withdrew the 'restriction' that had been stuck between Tiandao and Ji Chang.
Ji Chang used the sixty-four hexagrams to deduce all things and was able to get close to the Tao.
This is quite incredible when you think about it.
A mortal is close to the Tao.
Uncle Huang Long, a reckless man from the Immortal family who has no magic power, might as well hang himself in the southeast.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Master Huang Long rubbed his nose and looked at the senior brothers in front of him with apologetic smiles. He lowered his head and cleared away the dishes on the table and replaced several plates of snacks.
Master Taiyi asked: "Why, a dragon can occasionally feel the wind and cold?"
"I don't know who the hell is talking behind my back, but there was a little sense of heaven just now."
Master Huang Long shook his head:
"Let's continue talking about business. What should we do? Do we really want to choose four princes to support us?"
Yuding said in a deep voice: "Previously, the destiny of Zhou was in the Zhou Dynasty. However, after Master Ping'an and his nephew joined forces, the destiny of destiny has been abolished. Everything evolved and developed according to the situation in Nanzhou. It is not appropriate to simply occupy the Zhou Kingdom, but the Zhou Dynasty
The country's national destiny is still there, even if it cannot compare with the Shang Kingdom's national destiny, it can still be regarded as the overlord of one party. With Zhou as its auxiliary, and the support of three major princes, it has the best chance of winning."
Chi Jingjing sighed: "I was also careless. I didn't observe carefully before going to Zhou Kingdom. I thought that Ji Dan was no longer safe. I didn't expect that the peace was still there."
"Ji Dan is the clone of the Taoist Master," Guang Chengzi said with a smile, "Although Donghuang Taiyi and Nine-tailed Fox Zhichu borrowed the power of the Chaos Bell to cultivate new souls and left the chess game themselves, this is not the end of the world.
It is inconsistent with the operation of the Great Dao. The Taoist master should consider this before spending decades walking through a mortal life and treating it as his own experience."
Several immortals nodded at the same time.
Huang Long asked: "Senior Brother, do you think we should go to Nephew Ping'an to apologize?"
"Apologise? What apology? Did we do something wrong?"
Guangchengzi looked helpless and said slowly:
"If the Taoist master doesn't mention this matter, then there is no need for us to bump into each other again. Do we have to point out the Taoist surname and say that we have broken the rules in our teaching?
"Besides, we were just here to get acquainted, but Jie Jiao was deliberately targeting us and wanted to make things worse. He deliberately provoked us into a fight with them before the Conferring God Competition officially started.
"The fault for this still lies with Jie Jiao, what does it have to do with us?"
Master Yuding said: "What Senior Brother said is not unreasonable, but for this matter, it would be safer to go and apologize."
Guangchengzi pondered: "Then why don't we invite our junior brother who is most familiar with the Tao Master to come over."
Master Taiyi clicked his tongue and sighed: "I'm just saying, should I do this kind of drudgery? Everyone, please drink your tea slowly. I'll go back as soon as I can."
After saying this, Taiyi disappeared in a flash.
"Uh," Huang Long pointed at the tip of his nose, "shouldn't he be a poor Taoist?"
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.
"Junior Brother Taiyi probably wants to find Junior Nephew Ping'an for something," Master Yuding said with a smile, "Brothers, don't worry. Junior Brother Taiyi is actually quite cautious when he is alone."
"That's not what he calls being cautious," Chi Jingzhi shook his head gently, "He's just afraid of death."
All the immortals smiled for a while.
But it is said that Taiyi Zhenren soared into the clouds and mist, escaped from Kunlun, and headed straight for Nanzhou.
He did not conceal his whereabouts, passing by the border of Nanzhou guarded by the heavenly soldiers, and deliberately revealed his aura to let the heavenly soldiers record his whereabouts.
Master Taiyi is going to find the Emperor of Heaven, so why should he be secretive?
However, as soon as Taiyi arrived at the sky above Xiqi City, he couldn't help but frown.
First, he saw the situation where Ji Dan, the incarnation of Li Pingan, was imprisoned underground in Xibohou Mansion;
Second, he found a familiar Taoist rhyme in the sky.
Zhao Gongming's Taoist Rhythm.
'Pindao is no match for this guy.'
Master Taiyi retreated, with a bit more hesitation in his eyes.
But just as he was about to retreat, he saw a flash of golden light in the air, and Zhao Gongming had gone to the underground secret room. Taiyi Zhenren thought about it in his eyes, hesitated back and forth, but stamped his feet, swept his sleeves, and turned into a rainbow of light and escaped underground, meeting with
Zhao Gongming appeared in the secret room almost at the same time.
The two immortals appeared at the same time, making the two old guards here widen their eyes in fright.
Li Ping'an was not surprised. He stopped writing and looked ahead.
"Did the two uncles make an appointment?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Gongming, who was wearing black armor, held his waist and laughed, "How could it be that we made an appointment, met by chance, met by chance."
Master Taiyi laughed dryly, looked at the two old guards, raised his hand and pointed.
He did not let the guards faint, but locked them in a beam of light, and at the same time let their cut tongues grow back and repaired their eardrums.
Then, Taiyi stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Li Pingan: "I have met the Taoist Master."
Zhao Gongming, who sat down at the side of the low table without saluting, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Please sit down, both of you," Li Ping'an raised his hand, "Why did you come to my place suddenly? Do you want to see my joke?"
"How dare you, how dare you," Zhao Gongming said with a smile, "Previously, two junior brothers and junior sisters came here and bumped into the Taoist master. Everyone was uneasy and worried that the Taoist master would blame them, so they came here to apologize."
"Uncle Master privately calls me Ping An," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "There is no need to collide."
Master Taiyi Shi Shiran sat down cross-legged and whispered: "What's going on? How can I be bullied by a mortal? Are you tied up?"
Li Ping'an shook his head and said: "Ji Chang is suspicious and under great pressure. He is afraid that I am Emperor Xin's spy and will control me for a few years."
"Ah?" Zhao Gongming glared and cursed, "This Ji Chang is too ignorant!"
Taiyi Zhenren said: "Then Ping An, why don't you reveal your identity to Ji Chang?"
"That would be boring. Ji Dan is Ji Dan. There is no need to give him too many additional identities."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"I also want to see where the Zhou Kingdom will go without its destiny.
"Besides, my path to sentient beings must understand all sentient beings. This kind of prison is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. Now I am constantly accumulating insights.
"But for things like cultivating the Tao, if the difficulty of the first 99% is 1, then the difficulty of the subsequent 1% is infinite. I don't know how to push the Tao of all living beings to the top in the future. It is most likely
We need to use this ray of Ji Dan’s soul to reincarnate hundreds or thousands of times in reincarnation.”
"ah?"
Zhao Gongming couldn't help but feel moved: "Since you are a Taoist master, why should you embarrass yourself in this way?"
"The Taoist Master is only in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. Today's Heavenly Dao is so far apart that it can open up the sea of stars, heaven and earth!"
Li Pingan waved his hand and continued:
"Let's not talk about this matter anymore. If the two uncles came here to apologize for what happened before, then there is no need.
"Why don't you get me some food and wine, and let's have a good drink here.
"I haven't eaten meat for many days and I really miss it."
Just as Master Taiyi was about to agree, Zhao Gongming disappeared with a loud roar.
"Wait, come right away!"
However, as soon as Zhao Gongming left, Master Taiyi casually took out the Yuxu Immortal Brew and winked at Li Ping'an: "Jie Jie makes the dishes, and Chan teaches the wine."
"Uncle, why did you come here alone?"
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"When Zhao Gongming leaves," Master Taiyi sighed softly, "I really can't make up my mind right now."
…
After a feast in the dungeon, Li Ping'an saw off the two immortals, and the Xibohou Mansion above also saw off Xibohou Jichang.
Taiyi Zhenren left and returned soon.
Zhao Gongming hid in the dark and eavesdropped.
Li Ping'an knew this very well.
"Peace, that's what it is."
Master Taiyi sat cross-legged in front of the low table and untied the golden light around the two old guards. The old guards knelt down with a pop, not daring to breathe.
"You know my disciple, Lingzhuzi."
Taiyi sighed:
"He also has some connections with you guys in Heaven. I also felt before that he seemed to be related to the Great Tribulation of the Gods. He was an important figure in the Great Tribulation of the Gods. Heaven gave him luck and protection.
"But now, his luck has suddenly disappeared, and his cultivation has reached a bottleneck.
"He was originally the incarnation of a spiritual bead. To put it bluntly, he was actually a stone in the Yaochi. Since ancient times, he had absorbed too much spiritual energy. He became enlightened and took on another form. However, his body and legs are just like this, and the upper limit is no more.
That's all.
"I had previously entertained the idea of letting him reincarnate as an adult and become an immortal through the tribulation. That should be caused by the great tribulation. But now I am hesitant about this idea. I don't know whether I should let him be reincarnated as an adult."
Li Pingan groaned for a few times.
Nezha?
From the perspective of heaven, he naturally wanted Nezha to come out. The spiritual beads were there anyway.
This is completely different in nature from Yang Jian’s previous problems.
Yang Jian actually wanted to plot against Yao Ji, but Yao Ji was his adopted sister, so he brought her up to plot against her. He absolutely couldn't bear this.
Now let Yao Ji fall in love freely, find a partner, get married and have children, and there is no rush at all.
But Nezha is different. Nezha is the reincarnation of a spiritual bead with magic power. He can start as a true immortal, speed through the heavenly immortals, and get the golden immortal at his fingertips.
Li Ping'an asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Your subordinate, Li Jing."
Master Taiyi smiled and said:
"I have inquired clearly before. Li Jing is your confidant, a disciple of Wan Yun Sect, and a son and disciple of Yan Sheng of Zhuyun Sect. What is his name?
"Ah, in your father's words, it's Miao Zhenggenhong.
"To be honest, if something happened to some of my classmates and they were sucked back by your other father and disappeared directly, Li Jing's two sons would probably have gone to Yuxu Palace to practice by now.
"What do you think of Ping An? As long as you nod, I will go and stay at Li Jing's mansion. As long as his wife is pregnant with a baby, I will send the spiritual beads down!"
Li Pingan touched his chin and thought carefully.
He was deducing whether Master Taiyi came up with this idea on his own, or whether it was the influence of heaven.
Then he discovered...it was inertia.
It is the inertia generated by the ‘Feng Shen Script·Wangri Chuang’ that Tiandao had previously loaded.
Li Ping'an chuckled softly: "I will not express any opinions, give any reference, or make any calculations on this matter. Uncle Master can do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with me."
Master Taiyi opened his mouth in confusion.
Zhao Gongming, who was in the dark, thought for a moment and his eyes lit up.
Li Jing, a close associate of the Emperor of Heaven, was secretly lurking in Nanzhou and had two sons.
Zhao Gongming turned around and left. The strength of the top power exploded and headed straight for Chentangguan.
Taiyi Zhenren sat there as if he was in trouble. He really didn't know whether he should send his disciples into a great calamity. He wanted the benefits brought by the great calamity, but did not want his disciples to bear the risks of the great calamity.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Uncle Master, if you don't take action, Li Jing's Chentangguan will be moved to Jin'ao Island."
"What?"
Master Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he disappeared in a flash.
"Not good! Senior brothers, come quickly to support us!"
Li Ping'an shook his head, looking at the messy cups and plates on the table, and called the old guard on the side to come and clean up.
"When I talk to gods, I don't want to talk to other people."
The two old guards kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
