"Your Majesty, there is a Taoist who calls himself 'Shen Gongbao' outside the door and wants to see you!"
Just four days after sending Nezha away, Emperor Xin, who was resting in the Emperor's Palace, suddenly received a report from Yuan Futong.
Di Xin asked in confusion: "Shen Gongbao? Why is he here?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know this, but I see that Shen Gongbao seems to have been seriously injured, and his whole body seems weak, but deep in his eyes, there is overwhelming anger!"
Yuan Futong was a prince and was good at observing people's words. In addition, he received help from Emperor Xin and became an immortal, so he could naturally see these details.
at this time,
"Ding: It is detected that Shen Gongbao has come to surrender. The host selection is as follows..."
"Choice 1: Reject Shen Gongbao's surrender, because he is just a pawn in the original plan of Dashang and Jiejiao, and we must not let him succeed. Choose the reward: the acquired spiritual treasure Blood Flame Divine Sword, with ten thousand years of cultivation!"
"Choice 2: Agree to Shen Gongbao's surrender, understand the shortcomings of everyone in Yuanshi Tianzun's lineage, and teach them a painful lesson. Choose the reward: the acquired spiritual treasure soul-binding lock. Ten thousand years of cultivation!"
…
"Go and ask Master Shen to come to the palace to see the orphan!"
After Di Xin gave the order, he made a choice in secret and glanced at the soul-binding lock——
"Soul-binding lock: an acquired spiritual treasure that can steal away the souls of mortals silently. It can also have a certain impact on immortals, imprisoning their souls or trapping them in place. The power depends on the user's cultivation level. (Note: This lock is invalid for the host and those who are loyal to the host)."
It's a waste of time to eat, tasteless, and throw away a useless magic weapon!
After Di Xin saw it, such a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and he even had the idea of throwing it away.
"Your Majesty, Shen Gongbao has been brought!"
Yuan Futong's voice sounded, and after the report, Yuan Futong turned around and left.
at this time,
Shen Gongbao suddenly looked at Yuan Futong: "Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
Uh-huh!
After hearing this, Di Xin suddenly raised his head and looked over.
Vaguely, he actually noticed that even in his own lair, there was a powerful power of humanity shrouding the outside of the Human Emperor's Palace, the core position in the core of the human race——
When Shen Gongbao shouted, "Fellow Taoist, please stay," a mysterious force appeared on Shen Gongbao, separated from the power of humanity, and wrapped directly around Yuan Futong.
subconsciously,
Yuan Futong, who had always followed the rules, walked back very naturally, looked at Shen Gongbao and asked, "Does Master Shen have anything else to do?"
"I would like to thank my fellow Taoist for leading the way, and I also ask you to accept this elixir. This is my way of thanking my fellow Taoist!"
Shen Gongbao said and took out a jade bottle, but the strange thing was that Yuan Futong actually accepted the elixir in front of Emperor Xin.
Didn’t even say no!
Seeing this scene, Di Xin's eyelids jumped——
He suddenly remembered that in the original work of Fengshen, Shen Gongbao's sentence "Fellow Taoist, please stay" had deceived many Taoists to death. The emotional reason was here.
Anyone who is stopped by his call cannot refuse him!
At this time,
Di Xin thought of the 'Soul Binding Lock' he had just obtained. This thing was useless to him, but it was Shen Gongbao's only magic weapon!
Just when Emperor Xin's thoughts first appeared, Shen Gongbao had already entered the Human Emperor's Palace——
"Shen Gongbao, the abandoned disciple of Chanjiao, pays homage to the Emperor of the Prehistoric People!"
"Taoist Priest Shen, please call me. I wonder what Taoist Priest Shen means by 'explaining the teachings and abandoning disciples'?"
Di Xin was very curious. When he was a human in later generations, he had indeed seen Fengshen, but he could not remember some things clearly, and some things were not written in the book.
certainly,
Although they are all written randomly by later generations, they are also testable to a certain extent!
but,
He really didn't know about Shen Gongbao's "explanation of teachings and abandonment of disciples"!
"Pindao told the Human Emperor before about Pindao's stay in Kunlun Mountain, but Pindao always had the mentality that Tianzun was testing me, but not long ago..."
Shen Gongbao had no reservations and told Emperor Xin one by one about the Chentangguan incident and the two being knocked down from the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
at last,
Shen Gongbao changed from his normal state and knelt directly in front of Emperor Xin to perform the courtesy of his subjects——
"The poor Taoist Shen Gongbao is willing to go into the wilderness to assist the Human Emperor. From now on, he is willing to be a minister of the Human Emperor and perform the courtesy of a minister. I hope your Majesty will fulfill his wish!"
Di Xin pondered for a moment and then said: "Shen Gongbao, why did you choose Gu?"
"Your Majesty's words before, 'The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can't move it' are deeply rooted in my heart. The only one in the three realms who understands me, Shen Gongbao, is your Majesty!"
When Shen Gongbao said this, tears were already streaming down his face, and he kowtowed and said loudly: "My lord, Shen Gongbao, I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, no matter what!"
boom!
After hearing his words, Di Xin slammed the table and stood up, shouting loudly: "Shen Gongbao, you think Gu Bu knows, you are trying to prove yourself and prove that Yuanshi Tianzun is blind, yes or no!"
Di Xin's momentum changed as he spoke, and the entire Human Emperor's Palace was filled with his domineering aura. Even under that aura, Shen Gongbao felt breathless.
"Wei Chen..."
After hearing this, Shen Gongbao collapsed on the ground, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said in a trembling voice: "Everything the king said is true, I just want to prove that Yuanshi Tianzun is so blind!"
"good!"
At this time, Di Xin slowly walked up to Shen Gongbao, lifted him up with his own hands, and said with a carefree smile: "Congratulations to Master Shen for being able to understand his true intention!"
"But since Taoist Master Shen has joined our Great Shang, I can't treat him badly. Today I canonize Taoist Master as my Great Shang's National Preceptor!"
After hearing this, Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Di Xin continued to smile and said: "There is no need to thank the Imperial Master. There is a treasure here called the 'Soul Binding Lock'. I hope the Imperial Master will not dislike it!"
"The day after tomorrow spiritual treasure?"
Feeling the inconspicuous and black soul-binding lock in his hand, Shen Gongbao almost jumped up with excitement, and then he gave Di Xin a big gift.
With a grateful look on his face, he said: "I will definitely remember the kindness of the king!"
"You don't have to be polite, Imperial Master. Later I will ask someone to prepare a house for the Imperial Master in Chaoge, but for now, I have to live in the Palace of Guards."
"Your Majesty, I am not aggrieved, thank you very much for your concern!"
In just a few words, Shen Gongbao burst into tears of gratitude.
This is the feeling of being taken seriously that he has never had in Kunlun Mountain for many years!
soon,
Shen Gongbao was taken away by Yuan Futong, while Di Xin continued to rest in the Human Emperor Palace, but the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.
"Now that Shen Gongbao is here, the nine-tailed fox should continue to be a monster, right? She has been quiet for such a long time, and I am getting anxious!"
…
A few days later,
Jiang Ziya, who came down from Kunlun Mountain, arrived at Songjiazhuang, thirty-five miles away from the south gate of Chaoge. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but sigh -
"I have been away from here for forty years to practice Taoism. The scenery here is still the same, but the people's faces are different."
Speaking of which,
Jiang Ziya sighed again: "I wonder if my sworn brother Song Yiren still remembers me!"
After saying that,
Jiang Ziya went straight to Song Yiren's mansion...
