early morning
The golden morning light is bright and clear, and the thin mist gradually melts.
Wisps of sunlight fall on Xiqi, and the dewdrops on the city head reflect a colorful city-state.
In front of a broad temple in the city, a large group of Zhou men and women with solemn expressions walked slowly in an orderly queue.
The leader was a tall and heroic old man, holding a little boy of six or seven years old in his hand.
The boy is called Ji Chang.
The old man holding him is his grandfather, and he is also the leader, or monarch, of the entire Zhou clan!
Although Ji Chang was young, his eyes were bright and his face was as solemn as the others.
At such a young age, he already understands a lot, and he is even more aware that today is a very important day - his grandfather will offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and announce to everyone that his father Ji Li has officially become the new leader of the Zhou clan.
It is worth mentioning that there are two elder brothers above his father, named Taibo and Zhongyong respectively.
According to the rules, the position of leader should have been inherited by Tabor.
However, his grandfather loved him very much and hoped that he could inherit his throne. In order to allow Ji Li and Ji Chang to become the monarchs of the Zhou tribe, he did not hesitate to let Tai Bo and Zhong Yong "die like thorn barbarians, with tattoos and broken hair"!
It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple.
That is to say, the eldest and second sons were exiled, and the position of leader of the Zhou clan was passed on to the third son.
This operation was not because of how wise Lao San was. The reason why the old leader appointed Lao San Ji Li as the new leader was because Lao San had a "Sheng Rui" son!
The phoenix sings in Qishan, and the phoenix descends from the sky!
The scene on that day will never be forgotten by most people in Xiqi City.
The people who had seen the "golden phoenix spreading its wings" vision that day looked at Ji Chang with expectation and were extremely passionate.
Among the crowd, there was also a middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance.
He looked around quietly, as if he was just a passerby and everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
If Yu Yuan were here, he would be able to identify this middle-aged man as Master Xuandu, the leader of the teaching.
His main destination during this trip to the ancient times was Xiqi.
But when he came to Xiqi from Linhuan Pass, a hint of disappointment emerged in his heart.
Although Xiqi also shows a scene of vigorous and rapid development, it is very different from Linhuan Pass.
The biggest difference is the method of development.
Linhuan Pass developed itself and grew stronger by improving agriculture, animal husbandry, etc.; while Xiqi actively absorbed the culture of the Great Shang nobles through intermarriage with the Ren family, strengthened ties, and continued to expand military strength and conquer Tribes such as Xiluo Guirong, Shewu Zhirong, Shihu Zhirong, and Yitu Zhirong absorbed nutrients from the outside world and strengthened themselves step by step.
It’s still hard to tell which of the two development methods is better, but deep down Xuandu prefers Linhuan Pass.
Because the development of Linhuan Pass comes from creation, not plunder!
Its development route can be copied to the entire Nanfangbu Continent, and even the entire prehistoric era!
However, Xiqi's development model obviously does not have this attribute.
However, his master had originally ordered him to come to Xiqi. Could it be that the future he was optimistic about was for Shang to destroy Zhou Xing?
This is a bit troublesome.
While he was thinking about it, he frowned slightly, and a mysterious feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
Xuandu sighed quietly, and some enlightenment emerged in his heart. He said to himself: "It turns out that the ten-year period has come, and it is time for the two sects to exchange the list of gods and the whip..."
But why should I witness this?
Isn’t the Human Religion not involved in conferring gods? Why does it seem like it’s still deeply involved in it?
Tsk, if I had known this, I might as well have taken care of this matter directly! '
Xuandu muttered in his heart and glanced at the "Shengrui" boy who was walking at the front of the team. Then he just took a casual step and appeared outside Xiqi City.
Then he walked a few steps and drifted towards the west...
…
Kunlun Mountains.
The auspicious clouds in Yuxu Palace are floating in the air, and the rays of light are shining all over the place. It is spotless and clean.
Yuanshi Tianzun, who is sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, emits immeasurable light all over his body.
"Meet the Saint in charge!"
"Greetings to Master Master!"
The deputy leader Ran Deng Taoist priest and the Antarctic Immortal came to the saint's seat and bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Have you finished all the things I told you?"
Taoist Ran Deng hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I wanted to have a good discussion with the leader of the Styx River when I went to the Netherworld Blood Sea, but I didn't expect that he was stubborn and unruly, and he didn't even see me!
However, Pindao discovered the traces of the Western disciple Ksitigarbha in the Netherworld and Blood Sea. In all likelihood, Styx He has colluded with the Western religion! "
Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "If he really reaches some kind of tacit agreement with the Western Sect, it may not be a bad thing for the current situation!"
"What the saint in charge means..." Taoist Ran Deng showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "As you just said, the River Styx is unruly and untamable. Unless it is a last resort, how can he associate with Western religions?
But who in this world can make him helpless and still need the power of Western religion? "
Hearing this, Taoist Ran Deng's eyes lit up slightly, "Pindao also inquired about one thing in the Netherworld Blood Sea! Previously, Jiejiao Duobao, Jin Ling, and Zhao Gongming had gone to the Netherworld Blood Sea and had a big fight with Minghe. ...It is said that Qingping Sword was invited to use it in the end!"
Having said this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that he colluded with the Western Cult to deal with the Jie Cult!"
The Antarctic Immortal on the side nodded in agreement, "The disciples of Jiejiao act arrogantly, and the prehistoric immortals and gods are afraid of their power. Most of them dare not speak out when they are angry. However, once there is a chance to fight back, they will immediately jump out and bite them fiercely. Take a bite!”
"That's right." Rendeng Taoist said with a smile: "Although Jiejiao is powerful now, it is already riddled with holes. It is surrounded by enemies. It is just waiting for someone to give it a head-on blow. All forces will surely take notice of the wind and attack in groups. Of!"
"Don't be too happy too early." Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him and said calmly: "Jiejiao is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to the DPRK, and it will never be disintegrated overnight. You must not be careless... In addition, this time about the exchange of the list of gods, Let the two of you do it together.
Remember!
At least one of the Conferred God List and the Divine Whip must be kept, and they cannot both be taken away by Jiejiao no matter what! "
Taoist Ran Deng and the Antarctic Immortal nodded solemnly, "I will obey the orders of the sage (master)."
…
After explaining to Wen Zhong, Yu Yuan rode a golden-eyed five-cloud camel to Hezhou, Xiniu.
Although Xiniu Hezhou was already very barren before the prehistoric continent was torn apart, it was still much richer than Beiju Luzhou.
There are also many human races living here, but the number is much smaller than that of Nanfangbu Continent.
This was the first time Yu Yuan came to Hezhou, Xiniu. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the Ginseng Fruit Fair, he asked the golden-eyed five-cloud camel to put away its magical power of escaping light and land on the ground to walk slowly.
After several days of travel, he found that most of the human race here were worshiping Western religions. From the two saints to the Dharma Protector King Kong, everyone worshiped them. On the contrary, the three emperors and five emperors of the human race, and even the Virgin Mother Nuwa, were rarely worshiped.
"It truly is the stronghold of Western Christianity."
Yu Yuan sighed with emotion, and suddenly his heart moved slightly.
He looked up towards the sky and saw a strong man riding a water-avoiding golden-eyed beast speeding away like a whirlwind.
"Isn't this the powerful Bull Demon King?"
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect to see an "acquaintance" in Hezhou, Xiniu.
Why did he come from Luzhou, Beiju, to Hezhou, Xiniu?
What are you doing in such a hurry right now?
Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little curious. It happened to be still early, and he was not in a hurry to go to Wanshou Mountain, so he simply urged the golden-eyed five-cloud camel to turn into a golden cloud and follow him silently.
The powerful Bull Demon King was not very clever, probably because the cultivation environment in Beiju Luzhou was too poor.
Although he and Wuzhiqi were sworn brothers in their early years, Wuzhiqi later attained the Daluo Dao fruit, while he was still just a demon king in the Taiyi Golden Fairyland.
Yu Yuan followed him quietly and soon came to the entrance of a cave.
The entrance to the cave is in a peach blossom forest. When the peach blossoms are in bloom, the mountains and fields are covered in pink, like a pink gauze covering the mountain ground.
The Bull Demon King seemed to be very familiar with this place. He tied the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast in the peach blossom forest with skillful movements, and then ducked into the cave.
Yu Yuan noticed that there were many mounts in the peach blossom forest, all kinds of strange things.
There are also some lowly and handsome little demons in the forest looking after these mounts.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yuan couldn't help but become more curious, what kind of place was inside the cave?
He did not hesitate, imitating the appearance of the powerful Bull Demon King and swaggeringly riding a golden-eyed five-cloud camel and landed in the peach blossom forest. Immediately, a little demon came up to lead the camel for him, and at the same time saluted respectfully: "Welcome to you. The fairy comes to the gentle land!"
Gentle Township?
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, it seemed that this was Dongtian's name.
He glanced at the little demon with a flattering and expectant face, and vaguely guessed where this place was.
"Lead the way!"
Yu Yuan threw a piece of earthly silver to the little demon, who immediately showed shock and ecstasy in his eyes, while the flattery on his face became even more intense.
"Exalted Immortal, please come inside!"
The little demon bowed to lead the way and said flatteringly: "Shangxian, is this your first time to our gentle village? If such a generous guest like you has been here before, I will never forget it!"
Yu Yuan said "hmm" noncommittally.
Seeing that his flattery was not working, the little demon quickly changed his strategy and said respectfully: "I would like to introduce to you, our gentle village has the best auspicious goddess in the entire Xiniu Hezhou!
As long as you come to the Immortal once, the taste will definitely make you never want to come back!
As for the big demon king who just entered, he has been here a few times, and not long ago he spent thousands of dollars just to meet the leader of our gentle village..."
really!
Yu Yuan's heart moved slightly, knowing that he had guessed correctly.
This gentle town is a selling cave!
