Nuwa summoned Shen Gongbao to Wa's palace to test whether Shen Gongbao had the ability to teach Lingzhu well.
Lingzhuzi grew up in the Wa Palace, had never experienced any danger, had a bit of a naughty personality, and was a Daluo Jinxian, so ordinary Taoists really couldn't control Lingzhuzi.
It seems that Shen Gongbao's thunderous method today, "teaching" the spirit beads, giving a sweet date with a stick, is very consistent with Nuwa's sacred heart.
"After Lingzhu is reincarnated, I will trouble you to accept him as your disciple and teach him personally." Nuwa's holy voice was gentle.
Shen Gongbao saluted respectfully, "Please rest assured, saint, the poor Taoist will teach Lingzhu well."
Nuwa did not take back the Fire Point Spear, Hundian Ling, Qiankun Circle, and Hot Wheel Nuwa. Instead, she went to Shen Gongbao to take charge of them on her behalf, which could be regarded as receiving the spiritual beads as the disciple's seal.
Shen Gongbao's expression was dull and he looked at Lingzhuzi, "Will you be reincarnated with Pindao?"
Lingzhu hugged Jinfeng's thigh tightly, her little eyes were full of fear, and she shook her head instinctively, but she wanted to play in the wild world, so she said weakly: "Sister Jinfeng, can you send me to reincarnation?"
It seemed that Shen Gongbao's thunderous method had indeed defeated Lingzhu just now.
Jin Feng smiled helplessly, "Okay, I will send you to reincarnation together with fellow Taoist Shen Gongbao."
Jinfeng took the spirit beads out of the Wa Palace and turned into two streams of light towards the Netherworld.
Shen Gongbao glanced at Saint Nuwa, opened his mouth, but hesitated, "That's all."
"Saint, farewell." After Shen Gongbao saluted, he turned into a stream of light and left the Wa Palace, heading towards the Netherworld.
Nuwa stood quietly in the palace, and she could see that Shen Gongbao was hesitant to speak. Since he didn't say anything, Nuwa didn't ask.
…
In the netherworld, the wind howls and ghosts abound.
Shen Gongbao and Jin Feng personally sent the spirit beads into the six realms of reincarnation.
"Thank you so much for this time, fellow Taoist." Jin Feng saluted with thanks.
"It doesn't matter, the calamity has begun, and the apotheosis of the gods is imminent, even the poor Taoist needs help."
The two of them exchanged a few words with each other, and then the golden phoenix flew back to the Wa Palace with the crow of the golden phoenix.
Shen Gongbao went out of six reincarnations, walked through Yinshan Mountain, passed the ten major Yama halls, and walked to the gate of hell, with beautiful flowers on the other side in full bloom on both sides.
Countless ghosts lined up to walk into the ghost gate.
Shen Gongbao saw a familiar figure among the ghosts.
An old man was hunched over, his eyes were cloudy, and his consciousness was hazy. He was Hu Hansan's grandfather, Hu Laosan.
He has suffered so much and sinned so much in his life...
When Shen Gongbao saw him a few years ago, Hu Laosan was already filled with deathly energy, but he still delivered water from afar, just asking for a name for his grandson.
Hu Laosan knew that he was about to die, but he did not dare to die because his grandson was not old enough, so how could he survive without his grandson, so he had to hold on with one breath.
When his grandson grew up, Hu Laosan could finally feel relieved. He relaxed and returned to the underworld.
It's just that Hu Hansan's childish words that he wanted his grandfather to enjoy happiness can no longer be realized.
Humans can only live a hundred years, and insects can live no more than autumn. They are still struggling to survive.
Shen Gongbao is in a great calamity, so why isn't he fighting against heaven and earth?
When mediating between saints and wandering around as a great businessman, if you are not careful, you may end up dead and unable to be reincarnated forever.
Shen Gongbao waved his sleeves and sent out a wisp of jade-clear immortal energy, placing it on Hu Laosan's head.
This was regarded as a sign. When the judges saw the jade-clear immortal energy on Hu Laosan's head, most of them would give the Sage Master a favor and let him have a good pregnancy.
Shen Gongbao turned around, his face as calm as water, and murmured: "Emperor Yi is seriously ill, and there is not much time left. The conferring of gods...will begin soon."
…
Dashang, Chaoge.
Somewhere in the wooden house, the cry of a young man could be heard.
Hu Han came home from the fields at noon and called his grandfather to eat. There was no response for a long time, and then he suddenly realized that his grandfather had passed away peacefully.
Hu Hansan knelt in front of his grandfather, sobbing and crying.
The villagers came over after hearing the sound, but sighed and shook their heads, "Children, please look away."
During the three dynasties of Hu and Han, all the villagers reduced their heads.
When the villagers saw Hu Han kowtow three times, they all hurriedly said, "Folks, the children are all kowtowing. Please help me..."
Instead of buying a roll of straw mats as his grandfather wished, Hu Hansan sold his land and built a fine coffin.
Hu Hansan stayed at his grandfather's grave for seven days, and then returned home. He was once again impoverished, and all his land had been sold.
No livelihood.
Then he saw Hu Hansan's eyes showing perseverance, he picked up a simple package, packed enough rations, and walked towards the hinterland of Chaoge Plain.
I heard there is a military recruitment there...
Hu Hansan, only fifteen years old, nearly 1.85 meters tall, considered to be strong, successfully enlisted in the army.
Kong Xuan knew Hu Hansan, and had the opportunity to name him that day. Kong Xuan also saw that his qualifications were quite extraordinary, so he accepted him as a personal soldier.
Hu Hansan lived under Kong Xuan's account, read and read, humbly studied the art of war, and practiced military skills... he was considered to be half of Kong Xuan's disciples.
Years later, during the crusade against Xiqi, Hu Hansan became the vanguard general. He rode a white horse and conquered three passes. He became famous all over the world and returned to his hometown to pay tribute.
A young man joined the army and returned home in middle age. Looking at the dilapidated wooden house, thousands of words came to his lips, and only one sentence remained, "I, Hu Hansan, am back."
This is a later story.
Chaoge, Shouxian Palace.
Emperor Yi was completely confused and could not wake up for even a moment in a day.
Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu and others all knew that the king had passed away in the past few days.
Several important ministers did not dare to neglect at all. They each performed their duties and handled state affairs. The whole big business seemed orderly.
On this day, there was a meeting of hundreds of officials in Longde Palace. Shang Rong presided over the meeting, but his expression suddenly froze, and then he was extremely surprised, "Sir?"
Shen Gongbao, wearing official uniform, took half a step forward and saluted, "I have met Prime Minister Shang Rong."
Shen Gongbao entered the Great Shang Dynasty, but he had never gone to court before. Today he went to court. How could Shang Rong not be surprised or happy?
Hundreds of officials held a court meeting to discuss the dynasty's major policies. At the end of the court meeting, Shen Gongbao slowly stepped forward and suggested:
"The king is seriously ill and cannot go to court. I suggest electing important ministers, forming a cabinet, and coordinating state affairs, including but not limited to internal affairs, commerce, agriculture, and military affairs..."
As soon as Shen Gongbao's suggestion came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and everyone was talking, "Sir, are you trying to evade the king?"
Shen Gongbao's face was calm and silent, and he was pretending to be a king, which was basically the same.
This was considered a necessary strategy. After Emperor Xin ascended the throne and Nuwa came back from offering incense in the palace, his temperament changed drastically. No matter how stupid Shen Gongbao was, he knew that Emperor Xin had been plotted against.
And the person who takes action is most likely a saint!
If the King of Shang is ignorant, all the efforts made by Shen Gongbao will be in vain in an instant.
The fundamental purpose of forming the cabinet was indeed to restrain Emperor Xin after his temperament changed drastically.
Therefore, the cabinet must be formed while Emperor Yi is still alive, and Emperor Xin has no power to abolish it. Shen Gongbao has already thought of the cabinet candidates, including Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu and himself.
Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong held the King-beating Golden Whip in their hands. Even if Emperor Xin fell into the scheme, they would be unable to shake the cabinet.
There was a lot of discussion in the court. Even Shang Rong, Wen Zhong and Bigan didn't know the purpose of Shen Gongbao's suggestion. "Do you want to be a powerful minister? It shouldn't be..."
Wen Zhong and Shang Rong thought about it carefully for a long time, knowing that Mr. Gongbao would not make a mistake, so they agreed.
Therefore, the cabinet was formed on the second day, and Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu, and Shen Gongbao entered the cabinet to handle the political affairs of the dynasty.
At noon that day, Emperor Yi passed away, and the bell rang with the song of Chao, spreading throughout the world.
Eight hundred princes rushed to Chaoge and mourned.
Half a month later, Yin Zishou ascended the throne and started the Emperor Xin Dynasty.
Emperor Xin ascended the throne, and the world changed. The calamity between heaven and earth suddenly shook, and swept across the world with increasing turbulence.
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.
Taiqing Laozi sensed the sudden change in the calamity of heaven and earth, and slowly opened his eyes, his face was calm, and he said, "The calamity is so turbulent...it is no weaker than the lich measuring calamity..."
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on Qingyun, opened his eyes, and asked the Antarctic Immortal, "How is Ziya's practice?"
The Antarctic Immortal looked horrified, "Ziya is worthy of attaining the realm of the Earth Immortal."
Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened, "With a body that is full of waste, it is destined to become a god. After all, it is difficult to achieve immortality."
"Where is Shen Gongbao?" If Shen Gongbao hadn't been the one who fell into the dream with a flying bear, Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't have thought of Shen Gongbao at all.
"Teacher, the Heavenly Court has decreed that Shen Gongbao is the ninth-grade water-dividing general. I'm afraid he is controlling the floods at the moment."
"Hmph!" Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly. The disciple of the saint actually let Haotian boy drive him, which really put the saint in shame.
"The time is coming for Ziya to leave the mountain. Anji, please teach him well."
"is teacher."
Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.
The leader of Tongtian Cult sensed the surge of calamity in the world and knew that the trend of becoming a god was unstoppable, and those with little luck would die on the list. "All disciples sit in the dojo and recite Huang Ting quietly. They are not allowed to leave the island without any reason."
The four sects signed the list of gods, even if they are saints, they cannot stop it. This is regarded as the strategy of the leader of Tongtian to protect his disciples.
