At present, it has been many years since the death of the late king Emperor Yi and the reign of King Zhou, Emperor Xin.
When King Zhou was a prince, he had the courage to pull down nine bulls, and was talented in making plans and making decisions. The whole world said that he had the appearance of a wise king.
Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes. Since he mentioned obscene poems in Nuwa's palace, King Zhou seemed to have been blinded. He became more and more lazy, neglectful, and cruel. Especially in the past two or three years, he would not go to court for three to five days.
It happens all the time, and the things he does become more and more ridiculous.
In the spring of this year, King Zhou heard that Su Daji, the daughter of Jizhou Hou Suhu, was as beautiful as a fairy, so he ordered Su Hu to present her daughter to the court.
Su Hu, as the Marquis of Jizhou and one of the eight hundred princes, naturally refused to obey and raised the flag of rebellion in anger.
Unfortunately, there were only a few people who responded. With a small army and few generals, Su Hu finally made a compromise and had to sacrifice Daji in exchange for peace.
After Daji entered the palace, the king did not go to court early from then on.
If in the past King Zhou was just slacking off and not going to court for three to five days, now he is acting as a hand-off shopkeeper. Ten days and a half month is a short time. When it is more, the civil and military ministers will hardly see King Zhou for three or two months.
one side.
At the end of the autumn harvest, Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, came to pay homage to Daji and threatened Daji with harming the country. This greatly angered King Zhou and ordered the Marquis of Xibo to shut himself up and think about his faults.
Ji Chang was dissatisfied and not only expressed his position again, but also humiliated You Hun, his favorite minister who went to announce the decree, claiming that it was the evildoers in the court that made the king stupid.
You Hun responded repeatedly on the surface, but after returning to the palace, he slandered King Zhou, saying that Ji Chang had millions of armored soldiers under his rule, and he had long been disobedient, and he must not be allowed to return to Xiqi.
King Zhou was furious and ordered that Ji Chang be thrown into a prison where he would be held responsible for questioning later.
In Xiqi, when they heard that Xibohou had been arrested, they collected their money and treasures overnight, and took the eldest son Boyikao as an envoy to come to Chaoge to smoothen relations.
After Boyikao arrived at Chaoge, he heard that King Zhou's favorite concubine was the daughter of Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, and went to visit Su Hu who lived in the abbot's house.
Su Hu stayed away for three days and met with Boyikao on the fourth day. He sighed and said: "My daughter has become a different person since she entered Chaoge. She is even more elusive to me. If it were before, this matter would have been different."
I'll take care of the matter, but now, I'm afraid it's useless for you to look for me."
Boyikao returned disappointed, so he had no choice but to go to Zuomen Ling Fei Zhong to intercede.
Fei Zhong received the gift and arranged for Boyi to be admitted to the court to pay homage.
At the banquet, King Zhou was very satisfied with Boyikao's gift. When he was happy, he agreed to let Ji Chang go back.
Boyikao was overjoyed and entertained the banquet with piano music.
Unexpectedly, Su Daji, who had been replaced by the nine-tailed demon fox, who was a demon but not a human being, actually fell in love with Boyikao at first sight.
At Su Daji's request, King Zhou ordered Boyi to be admitted to the palace and taught Daji how to play the piano.
At this point, Grand Master Wen Zhong is leading the troops outside, Prime Minister Shang Rong is getting old, Emperor Bigan is drunk and has dropped out of school, treacherous ministers are in power in the court, and Daji is wielding power in the harem. If you look closely, you will see that a great chaos is coming.
In Chaoge City, Wang Xu was sitting in a restaurant, listening to the Six Sages of Meishan.
After hearing the cause and effect, he understood the current situation and thought to himself: "I came down from the mountain four years earlier than in history. At this time, Uncle Jiang Ziya has not yet taken over the list of gods. The day when I go down from the mountain to become a god will be next year. Next year,
Uncle Jiang Ziya received the list of gods and set off the catastrophe of the gods. It took several years to conquer Chaoge. Now that I have come a little early, I can plan it calmly."
Coming early has the advantage of being able to take a lot of initiative.
Judging from the current situation, even the saints did not expect that this catastrophe would cause the three sects to break apart. Among them, the powerful Jiejie sect was wiped out in this catastrophe.
This is not surprising. Magical powers are no match for Tianshu. Now that the catastrophe is approaching and Tian is sending out murderous intentions, the method of calculation is basically useless.
What's more, there are ten thousand possibilities in an instant, and who can be sure which possibility the final result will be.
Even if you are as strong as the saints, you can only use methods to make what you want more likely, but going against the will is not enough.
Wang Xu's literary avatar had been exposed to the Tao of Zhouyi and was proficient in the art of calculation.
We know very well that people are not as good as God, and saints are not omniscient and omnipotent. Otherwise, they would not be able to replace Tao Zang, and the real immortals such as Ran Deng and others would not be able to safely return to Western teachings.
After all, if the calculation technique was really that powerful, Sage Yuqing would not accept these people as his disciples.
Therefore, people who are good at deduction should be respected but not feared. The method of calculation has its limitations and ultimately relies on strength.
"Brother, we have been separated for more than a month. These days, the six of us have been gathering information in Chaoge and made a friend."
"Oh, have you made friends yet?"
Wang Xu drank and ate, but did not take the words of the Six Sages of Meishan seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me what kind of friends you have made."
"While we were inquiring about information, we also met someone who was also inquiring about information. We took action to capture her and found out that she was a pipa spirit named Liu Pipa."
Zhang Boshi, the second among the Six Saints of Meishan, toasted Wang Xu and said with a smile: "The pipa master is not very good, but the method of transformation is very miraculous. When she turned into a human form, the six of us were deceived by her.
After capturing her, she revealed her true identity and told us that she came from Xuanyuan Tomb and came to join her sister.
She has two sisters, one was transformed into a vixen spirit and her pseudonym was Su Daji, and the other was transformed into a nine-headed pheasant spirit and her pseudonym was Hu Ximei. They are enjoying their happiness in the palace.
We saw that she was from the demon clan, so we didn't make things difficult for her, and we became friends as soon as we went back and forth.
She has been in a bad mood these past few days. It seems that her two sisters do not want her to enter the palace. They just rewarded her with some treasures and wanted to send her back to repair.
Liu Pipa saw the luxurious life of the two sisters in the palace, how could she go back in such a dejected state and have some unpleasant troubles with the two demons."
"Su Daji, Hu Ximei, Liu Pipa!"
Wang Xu didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing the names of these three demons, he immediately became energetic.
Aren't these three demons the same demons from Xuanyuan's tomb who came to ruin the fate of the Shang Dynasty under the orders of Empress Nuwa?
By coincidence, the Pipa Spirit among the three demons actually became friends with the Six Sages of Meishan. This could be regarded as infiltrating the enemy.
"What's Pipa's temperament like?"
Thinking of the identity of Pipa Jing, Wang Xu thought about how to use it.
Zhang Boshi heard this and replied: "Liu Pipa is the youngest among the three demons and has been practicing hard in the cave. She is just a little girl who has never seen the market. After meeting the six of us, she became a big brother and treated her respectfully.
No, I think he is sincere."
What is a sincere temper? It has no ill intentions. If you treat it better, it will treat you better. This is called a sincere temper.
As for the cunning one, if you treat it well, it may not necessarily treat you well, and it may even plot against you behind your back.
The former are easy to deal with and become friends with.
The latter is difficult to deal with, and the hope of becoming close friends is very slim.
"Is that so?"
Wang Xu thought carefully, and then noticed that Uncle Zhang was hesitant to speak, so he asked: "Anything to add?"
"Brother is wise..."
Zhang Boshi hurriedly toasted Wang Xu, and after both of them drank it in one gulp, he continued: "Although this Liu Pipa is a little demon who has never seen the world, after all, she is a spirit made from utensils, and she still has a little temper. This demon still has a little temper.
She likes to eat people's essence and blood. In the past, in Xuanyuan Tomb, most of the people she passed by would have their essence and blood sucked to death by her. Fortunately, it was not a big mistake."
"It's nothing."
When Wang Xu heard this, he was not shocked at all.
Demons eating people is just like people eating cattle and sheep. It is part of the reincarnation of heaven.
The distinction between demons and immortals is not based on whether they eat people or not, but on whether they have received immortal status.
Those who have received immortality are still immortals if they eat people; those who have not received immortality are still monsters if they do good deeds.
For example, during the Journey to the West, the Golden-winged Dapeng, as a protector of Buddhism and the uncle of Tathagata, would go to Lingshan Mountain in half a month, and would never come back unless he devoured several cities at a time.
Even so, his status is still as stable as Mount Tai. Has the Buddhist saints ever restrained him... No.
On the contrary, those who come from wild backgrounds, no matter whether they are good or bad, will all be beaten to death with a stick, and there will be no room for reasoning.
In the eyes of beings at the level of Wang Xu and the Twelve Golden Immortals, Liu Pipa's behavior is not a big mistake. Whether it is right or wrong depends on whether she can be driven by me.
If you are able to endure it, there are people who are ranked among the immortals.
No, if I call you a monster, you will be beaten to death easily. There is no place for you to complain. This is the group of people who are cruel and ruthless.
