Chapter 24 of Chaoge: An unexpected battle of wits
Ji Kao, Ji Fa, Ji Dan.
Li Ping'an placed three teacups in front of him and didn't think much about it. He was just listening to Ji Kao's chat with several staff after he returned home.
They were talking about the situation in Xibohou's mansion.
Obviously, these guys have realized that Ji Fa is now in charge of the Xibohou Mansion, and Ji Kao, who has been working as a proton in Chaoge City, is already alienated from the ministers and old nobles of the Zhou Kingdom.
What can Ji Kao do?
There was nothing he could do.
The subjects of Xiqi were very afraid of the Shang Kingdom, and because of the tragic death of Ji Li, they were wary of Ji Dan who returned from Chaoge City, let alone Ji Kao.
However, Ji Fa is indeed honest. When Ji Kao came back, he took the initiative to ask his ministers to go to Ji Kao to report government affairs. Ji Fa almost moved to the military camp to hide.
"Family politics of princely families."
Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, did not pay much attention to this Ji family matter, and continued to understand Taoism and practice Zen.
Recently, he also wanted to watch the Chang'e's singing and dancing in the heaven. He had not yet appreciated the dancing of the Chang'e on the moon.
Mortal emperors can enjoy it so much. He is the majestic Taoist master, the heavenly emperor, and the obsession of the old man. He has escaped from this world for 0.5 points. As long as he doesn't mess around, it won't matter if he watches a song and dance.
This can also lead to enlightenment.
Li Ping'an hummed a tune he had heard in his childhood, drank the herbal tea in one gulp, and went to enjoy the song...
Um?
Li Ping'an suddenly frowned and calculated with his fingers. Ji Dan's clone instantly fell backwards and fell unconscious, and the main body in heaven opened its eyes.
Before he had time to chat with Mu Ningning, Li Ping'an flashed and appeared directly above the East China Sea, frowning.
Two groups of dozens of figures are fighting each other, with spiritual energy surging everywhere. Many magical weapons are flying randomly, and many figures have fallen towards the sea. You can also hear dragon roars here.
what's the situation?
Li Pingan's fingertips faced each other, and his facial muscles twitched violently.
He never expected it.
At any rate, the conflicts between the two sects have been suppressed as much as possible. However, the Dragon Clan added fire to the fire and started to burn!
This matter actually begins when Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, went to the dungeon to complain to Li Pingan.
…
But it was said that Ao Guang returned to the Dragon Palace, thought about it carefully, and vaguely understood the Taoist master's meaning.
The old Dragon King can see clearly.
What is the situation in this world now?
The Heavenly Court has formulated a development plan, and the Taoist master has set his ambition to open up the world. The Heavenly Court is about to start an external campaign, to find trouble with those innate gods and demons, to strengthen the origin of the heaven and earth in this world, and to prepare for the opening of the star sea world.
What's missing now?
Heaven's top combat power.
Where does cutting-edge combat power come from?
Naturally, I want to explain the ideas of the two religions.
Ao Guang thought carefully and observed carefully, and soon understood the hidden meanings behind Li Ping'an's words.
The detached man, Old Man Wangri, is the leader of all these scripts. Now, Old Man Wangri has retired and has been completely entrusted to his successor Li Ping'an. Li Ping'an has always shown his kindness and righteousness to others, so how can he understand that he is a people-oriented person?
Are you going to let the two sects of Chan and Jie fight?
Ao Guang assessed the situation, understood the essence, and understood that there needed to be a fuse between heaven and earth.
But he, the Dragon Clan, is just the right character.
Ao Guang also has his own principles.
Why do the guardian beasts of the star realm belong to their dragon clan? That naturally requires their dragon clan to make due contributions. In addition to the subsequent crusade against the innate gods and demons, don't they have to contribute to the Conferred Gods?
It must be necessary.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, wanted the Dragon Clan to make some achievements and play a role, so the Dungeon Talk was born.
So Ao Guang spent the next period of time secretly accumulating strength and planning, and set his sights on Taiyi Zhenren behind Xiao Huozha.
As the saying goes, a slap can't make a sound, but Taiyi Zhenren's is still not enough.
But it didn't matter, Ao Guang quickly found another slap in the face of Jie Jiao, the Immortals of Kowloon Island.
The Kowloon Island lineage has a long history in the Jie Cult, and its most famous masters are the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, named Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, and Li Xingba.
These so-called Four Saints are actually just second-rate masters. The first-rate masters are basically in Biyou Palace and Jin'ao Island.
Ao Guang spent several years planning carefully.
He first used the reason that the fish and shrimps on the East China Sea turned into monsters to cause trouble, and sent the sea sailors to station here, and randomly arranged a few chess pieces to cause friction between them and Chentangguan.
Chentangguan Li Jing tolerated this in every possible way.
The dragon clan was an important force in the subsequent crusade against the innate gods and demons. Li Jing knew that at this critical juncture, Li Jing never wanted to become a stepping stone for the catastrophe of becoming a god, so he retreated again and again from the sea clan sailors.
He retreated, but Huo Zha couldn't bear it.
The little guy's magic power increased by leaps and bounds, and his temper was so fierce that the conflict with the Hai Tribe sailors intensified.
In this round and round, Huo Zha's men injured many sea tribe generals.
According to Ao Guang's plan, the Hai Clan began to go to Jie Jiao's several fairy islands to complain, but all the hundreds of clans and sea clan masters could always find some kinship with Jie Jiao.
This is the price of Wanxian coming to court.
What happened next was much simpler. First, there was an immortal who was not well-educated. With a sense of loyalty, he was attracted by the Hai clan to Chentangguan.
The Immortal and Huo Zha had a disagreement, so Huo Zha started a unilateral fight. He tied the guy up with Hun Tian Ling and hung him to dry by the East China Sea for several days.
Under the Juetian Formation, Huo Zha met second- and third-grade golden immortals with just a few treasures.
Although Huo Zha's style of dealing with things is a bit like that of Taiyi Zhenren, he was still influenced by Li Jing and did not kill him directly.
But from the moment he took action, the nature of the matter changed.
The old Dragon King also used the insidious trick of 'killing with flattery'. When the Jie Jiao Immortal wanted to settle the matter and sneak away to save his face, he sent his third prince and several dragon generals to kill the Jie Jiao Immortal. The immortal rescued him.
The Dragon Clan apologized and shouted that they had not restrained the Hai Clan, but it actually involved the Jie Jiao Immortal Zunjia.
Naturally, the Immortal can no longer hold back his face at this time.
Those who love justice are so kind.
After drinking some wine in the Dragon Palace, the Jie Jiao Immortal became more and more angry. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he called his friends and brought seven or eight Jie Jiao Immortals to Chentangguan.
Among them is Gao Youqian, one of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island.
Gao Youqian had a treasure called Hunyuan Pearl. It was famous and had an extraordinary origin. It was originally an innate spiritual treasure, but later it was broken and fell into the hands of Gao Youqian. With Gao Youqian's own strength, it was more than enough.
They didn't realize at all that they had actually entered the catastrophe of becoming a god, and they just wanted to help their fellow disciples regain their position.
So, a second conflict occurred.
This conflict was also the trigger for the situation to completely spiral out of control.
Chanjiao Zhenren was afraid that Huo Zha would suffer a loss, so he followed secretly and watched Li Jing and Huo Zha negotiating with Jie Jiaoxian on the beach.
The Jie Jiao Immortal wanted Huo Zha to kowtow and admit his mistake. How could Huo Zha agree?
In order to settle the matter, Li Jing took the initiative to take the punishment for his son, and was willing to kneel on one knee and admit his fault. Huo Zha was so angry that he shouted some harsh words. Li Jing couldn't help but slap Huo Zha.
Huo Zha was still a child, and he lost the memory of the spirit beads in order to be reincarnated. Although he has an extraordinary mind, he does not think too much about the consequences.
Angry in his heart, he directly attacked Jie Jiaoxian, smashing the circle of heaven and earth, and launching his fire-tipped spear into the sea, hoping to challenge many with one blow.
Upon seeing this, Master Taiyi identified the two people with the most karma among the Jie Jiao Immortals, and took action decisively, hitting them with two bricks.
A Jie Jiao Immortal couldn't dodge and was hit, and Huo Zha pierced the man's neck with a fire-tipped spear.
Fortunately, Li Jing took action in time and forcibly stopped Huo Zha, preventing the Jie Jiao Immortal from falling.
Li Jing hurriedly wanted to apologize, but all the immortals were furious, running for their lives and calling for help.
Master Taiyi smiled coldly, took action directly, destroyed the souls of the two Jie Jiao Immortals, and immediately escaped with Huo Zha.
Li Jing was really dumbfounded.
Now he suddenly realized that his son was not just his son, but his son was more like the son of Master Taiyi.
The matter escalated. Dark clouds rolled outside Chentang Pass. The two sects of Chanjie each came to have more than a dozen masters. At the edge of the great formation, they started fighting over a disagreement.
It was at this moment that Li Ping'an was alarmed.
That's it...
Outrageous.
Li Ping'an frowned and looked at these immortals fighting. The most famous ones here are the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, the Four Marshals of Lingxiao Palace in the original Fengshen script, and the famous masters there, namely Zhenren Taiyi, Zhenren Huanglong, Master Yuding was in the rear and did not rush to take action.
Mother Wudang and Fairy Qiongxiao also came from Jie Jiao's side. The two immortals were also watching the battle. They seemed to be afraid of falling into the catastrophe of becoming a god.
Li Ping'an had previously given a total of 240 heavenly substitutes to the two sects...
No one uses it at all!
It's right to think about it. Now the immortals of the two religions are still watching the Shang Kingdom and the various princes, and they don't take the conflict here too seriously.
What to do?
Li Ping'an thought for a while and decided... to watch from here and not take action.
Non-top experts will not be of much use in defeating the innate gods and demons. Considering the overall situation, he only needs to protect the dozens of top experts on both sides. Take a look at the Four Saints of Kowloon Island. If he is about to die later, he will directly take it back to heaven.
.
Li Ping'an's body is here, and he has no worries when the saint comes.
He supported his old waist, and randomly created a cloud, a low table, a futon, and a bag of melon seeds, and smiled as he watched the immortals below fight for life and death.
What does this have to do with him?
He did everything he had to do.
Fight, die, if one dies, the Golden Immortal Heavenly Court will make a small profit, if one dies, the Taiyi Golden Immortal Heavenly Court will make a big profit, if one dies, the Great Luo will lose blood.
Da Luo should try his best to be a genius physically, which is the best result.
As for the initiator of this incident.
Li Ping'an lowered his head and looked into the depths of the East China Sea. He saw the old Dragon King lying on the coral throne, enjoying the clam girl beating his legs and the sea girl squeezing his shoulders. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This old dragon... is quite powerful.
Ao Guang's plan this time has deep intentions, and he should take the initiative to involve the Dragon Clan in the future.
His other goal can also be successfully achieved - taking this opportunity to beat the Dragon Clan itself and get rid of the Dragon Clan's bad habits.
Ao Guang saw it clearly. Let the Dragon Clan return its heart to the Heavenly Clan and let the Heavenly Clan trust the Dragon Clan enough. Only in this way can the Dragon Clan live a good life.
Li Pingan shook his head and continued to stare at the battle below.
More and more masters from the two religions arrived secretly, but neither side dared to act rashly.
Seeing the Four Saints of Kowloon Island showing off their power, Master Taiyi took back a few treasures from Huo Zha, dressed in red, and fought the Four Saints with a gun, and the fight was evenly matched.
Master Huang Long was fishing on the sidelines, obviously not using his real skills.
The fight lasted for about half an hour. Both sides suffered injuries, and several immortals died.
Taiyi Zhenren seized an opportunity and Jin Brick took action again, blinding Gao Yougan. He raised his gun and tried to make a hole in Gao Yougan's soul.
The team that intercepted and coached finally ended up with a master.
The Virgin Mary appeared from the horizon in a light blue dress, flying very fast and throwing out a ring in her hand.
The ring pierced through the universe and arrived in front of Taiyi Master almost in the blink of an eye. Taiyi couldn't dodge and was hit by the ring from the front, causing his body to fall backwards.
The Four Saints of Kowloon Island will immediately take advantage of the situation to hit Taiyi hard!
A large jade cauldron appeared, covering Master Taiyi directly, and pulled him steadily to the rear.
"Everyone stop it!"
When the Holy Mother of Wudang gave a soft drink, the ring instantly turned into a diameter of ten thousand feet, standing between the sky and the earth, so that the immortals on both sides could use the opportunity to separate themselves.
Wudang was originally a gentle person, but at this moment his face was cold and his eyes showed murderous intent.
"Why does Chanjiao have to force each other like this!"
Master Yuding put away his precious tripod and released Taiyi, the most scolding person on their side.
Master Taiyi sneered and said: "Are we forcing you? Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid you said it wrong? It's obvious that you Jie Jiaoxian came to Chentangguan first to bully Pindao's disciple. Pindao is the only disciple, and he can't be praised today.
You are a young man, a child, and you are forcing him to kneel down and apologize! Is this not forcing? Is this not an insult?"
Li Jing, who was in the distance, was about to speak, but received a ray of sound.
The message from His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.
Li Jing immediately shut up and looked over the East China Sea with a frown.
Mother Wudang looked at the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, and Yang Sen immediately spoke:
"Sister Mingjian! The son of Chentangguan Li Jing is the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren. His name is Huo Zha. With the help of several magic weapons given by his master, he is doing evil here, causing trouble and oppressing the Hai Clan!"
A Jie Jiao Immortal shouted: "Yes, Senior Sister! This Master Taiyi is favoring his disciple! For this reason, he does not hesitate to start a war between the two religions!"
"That's enough!"
The Holy Mother Wudang frowned and scolded, and the group of immortals immediately shut up.
There is another rule in Jiejiao, that is, whoever has the bigger fist can speak more effectively.
As one of the eight disciples, Mother Wudang’s words carry enough weight.
She said coldly: "The Conferring God Competition is ahead, and it is about to open up. If you want to resolve the disaster, it is better to go directly to the heaven to find a job. It is worse than being driven by the disaster here and dying. remove!"
Taiyi Zhenren snorted: "What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist, that we have failed to understand the overall situation in our teaching?"
"Is it right to explain this to fellow Taoists?"
Our Lady of Wudang stares at Taiyi:
"If you condone your disciple's sin, we will report it to Heaven and ask the Heavenly Punishment Hall to administer justice!"
"Why do we bother the Heavenly Court about the affairs of our two religions?" Master Huang Long sighed from the side, "It is better to let the matter go now. Everyone goes back to his own home, and there is no need to fight."
Gao Youqian said angrily: "How can we give up! Our fellow sect's death will be in vain!"
Taiyi Zhenren scolded: "You sneak attack and kill the immortals who practice in my Yuxu Palace. This matter will definitely not be a good thing!"
"I'll beat you until you surrender today!"
"Master Taiyi, you are really going too far!"
The immortals on both sides rioted again, and both sides were about to cross the ring and strike again. Suddenly, a look of absolute dismay flashed in the eyes of the Virgin Mother, and she shook her hand forward, and the ring returned to her hand.
She scolded in a steady voice: "Taiyi! Why don't you settle today's matter with me?"
Is Master Taiyi stupid? He goes to compete with an enemy that he can't beat.
So Taiyi took half a step back and looked at the jade tripod: "Junior brother, can you beat me?"
Jade Cauldron nodded slightly, knowing that things could not go well today, so he calmly took half a step forward and stared at the Virgin Mary.
"Fellow Taoist, just let's discuss each other and decide what is right or wrong based on the outcome."
"snort!"
The Holy Mother of Wudang snorted softly on the tip of her nose, and her figure and the real person Jade Cauldron flashed at the same time, appearing above the nine heavens. The two figures collided one after another, and the avenue shook!
Li Pingan: What a great opportunity!
He observed carefully, understood carefully, and tried to rely on this battle, with the help of Heaven's Way, to fully understand the ways of these two masters!
