Time: At night on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month.
Location: Inside the Imperial City, on the top of the Star Building.
Character: Shen Gongbao, stumbling around holding a wine glass.
Character: Yang Jian, shaking the wine pot.
Character: Shen Xin, [handsome] with fluttering clothes and looking deeply into the distance.
etc.
Why do you always feel that our painting styles are a little different?
Yang Jian asked a question?
Shen Gongbao asked a question?
Doctor Shen: Because I am the handsome protagonist.
Two people: "Fuck."
…
Doctor Shen looked at the majestic Chaoge City in the distance. At this moment, the streets were dim and there were no pedestrians on the road. The huge city seemed to have fallen into a dead silence.
The people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties did not have as many entertainment activities as in modern times.
Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, struggling for food and clothing is their normal routine.
In contrast, there is the imperial city, the towering Star-Zhaing Tower, with bright lights inside, continuous silk and bamboo, the shouts of King Zhou, and the laughter of women, creating a scene of singing and dancing.
The performance is completely different from that in the city.
Yang Jian held the wine bottle and frowned, with doubts in his eyes:
"Doctor Shen, why are you dragging me along if you want to drink? And why are you even here in the imperial city?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, he had already started to be secretly vigilant, and he did not dare to take it lightly against the man in front of him who was strategizing and full of wisdom.
What's more, the appearance of Shen Gongbao caught Yang Jian off guard. The task that he thought could be completed at any time suddenly became more difficult today.
That's why I opened my mouth to test.
"Shh!"
Doctor Shen put his finger in front of his mouth, making a silent gesture?
"Listen to the sound below."
Yang Jian, who was slightly confused, was slightly startled when he heard this, and then slowly looked down.
Um? King Zhou, Daji, and a group of maids.
What's so interesting about these two?
Yang Jian curled his lips and stared down with his peripheral vision, still on guard against Shen Gongbao.
But as the light and shadow below flickered, Yang Jian's expression gradually changed.
Huh!
Um? ah?
He gradually became a little dazed, and couldn't help but say that King Zhou had many tricks.
Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.
Yang Jian blushed and turned away in a hurry, waving his hand and saying:
"Doctor Shen, isn't it good for us to do this? The one below is the Human Emperor after all. Let's take a peek to see if he..."
How could I, a dignified qi practitioner and disciple of Qi, do such a thing?
Yang Jian looked upright and subconsciously turned around and left.
But immediately, he saw Dr. Shen's serious look and a worried expression...
Maybe, had I misunderstood?
"I've always heard that His Majesty has good physical strength. I just want to see how good he is."
Doctor Shen patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said casually, with the look of someone who has never seen the world before.
"Um?"
Yang Jian was a little embarrassed by Doctor Shen's ridicule, and his face instantly turned red to the bottom of his neck.
He spoke forcefully and began to say unconvinced: "Doctor Shen, please don't make fun of me. You haven't even started a family yet. How do you know so much about this?"
no the same.
Doctor Shen laughed and shook his head: "We are different."
Dr. Shen is proud of himself and has experienced the influence of modern society.
I have never seen anything like steel pipes, stockings, or uniforms.
And you, Yang Jian?
Having stayed in the mountains with that old otaku Yuding for decades, his rank was obviously too low.
Facing Dr. Shen's naive expression, Yang Jian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He didn't expect that Dr. Shen seemed to know a lot more than him, and he felt that he also knew a lot about the following things.
But Yang Jian was born to refuse to admit defeat, and he didn't want to be at a disadvantage just like this. He shamelessly said with a guilty conscience:
"Doctor Shen is not a monastic and does not understand us Qi practitioners..."
"Not only me, but I'm afraid even Taoist masters like Taoist Shen don't know much about this..."
Yang Jian's expression changed uncertainly, but it was clear between his words that everyone was single.
Bring someone in, you mock me, I will mock you, no one can escape.
Hearing Yang Jian's words, Shen Gongbao's eyes suddenly froze. Originally, he was watching the show calmly, stroking his beard and mocking the two juniors.
But he didn't expect the flames of war to burn him inexplicably.
As for speaking...
He really doesn't necessarily know more than the two of them.
After practicing Taoism for thousands of years, Shen Gongbao has been practicing hard and making friends, but he has never been close to a woman, or even touched a girl's hand.
So I couldn't think of any rebuttal at all.
"Daozhang Shen." Doctor Shen looked at Shen Gongbao with a smile. It was obvious that he was standing at the top of the food chain of several people and was looking at the two of them with contempt.
Humph, although he was a little unhappy, how could Shen Gongbao admit defeat in front of the juniors.
I saw him stroking his long beard and pretending to be an expert from this world.
With a serious expression, he shook his head and said:
"We, the monastics, have long been detached from things, and have seen through the sky. We are far away from the world of mortals, and we are not close to women..."
Dr. Shen interrupted leisurely: "It's just a thousand-year-old bachelor who speaks so noblely.
Tsk, who doesn’t know that there is a cultivation method called dual cultivation..."
Waterma.
Shen Gongbao broke through the defense in an instant, so why don't you try to break it down?
And for an accomplished person like me, I have already understood these things, and it is normal to be pure and devoid of desires.
normal!
Shen Gongbao couldn't help but roar in his heart.
But looking at Doctor Shen's sarcastic face, he only felt that he had been deeply insulted.
Then he couldn't help but fight back:
"It turns out that Dr. Shen only talks but doesn't do anything. He talks about being a hero. I think you are still a young man now..."
As he spoke, Shen Gongbao raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the two people in front of him with the same smile.
snort!
Fight with me, old is still hot.
Doctor Shen's face froze after hearing this, and he was accidentally hit with the reality that he really had no experience in this life.
But that didn't mean he was willing to admit defeat, he just asked indifferently.
"Daozhang Shen has been practicing for thousands of years now..."
Shen Gongbao's expression gradually became serious, and even the smile at the corner of his mouth stopped abruptly.
He broke the defense again.
So the three of them cocked their necks and looked at each other angrily. Naturally, no one was willing to give in to the other.
Sometimes a man's desire to win is so inexplicable that he doesn't even know the cause.
Dr. Shen still remembers seeing a joke where someone asked an old man, "When will a man mature?"
The old man replied: "A man can never mature. It's like I am 75 years old. I see a pile of cow dung on the road and I still can't help but blow it up with firecrackers."
Although Dr. Shen couldn't blow up cow shit with firecrackers, he could still easily deal with two rookies.
In the end, under the shocked eyes of Shen Gongbao and Yang Jian, Doctor Shen won the final victory with absolute advantage.
He used his extremely rich theoretical knowledge to defeat the two of them, leaving no room for resistance.
Perfect, handle it.
Seeing that he had taken the initiative, Doctor Shen immediately began to make plans, and with a serious face he spoke forward:
"Do you two know why I chose to come to the Imperial City at this time?"
The two of them shook their heads subconsciously at the same time. Why else? Because you are an LSP! We didn't say anything about you.
However, the next second the two of them looked at Shen Xin's faint smile and suddenly reacted.
I began to hesitate in my heart. Could it be that Dr. Shen's move really meant something profound.
Just as he was thinking about this, Doctor Shen straightened his expression, looked at King Zhou below and said solemnly:
"I plan to ask Taoist Master Shen to meet with His Majesty at this moment."
Hearing these words, the two of them were suddenly shocked and instantly showed surprise.
Sure enough, it is true.
I guessed that Dr. Shen must be planning something at this moment.
Yang Jian held his breath, reduced his influence, prepared to eavesdrop, and then did not dare to interrupt the conversation between the two.
Doctor Shen slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with light.
He worked hard to create opportunities for Yang Jian.
That's right, Doctor Shen is going to push Shen Gongbao directly to King Zhou.
As an immortal at the level of a true immortal, Doctor Shen certainly did not dare to let him follow him, but was prepared to find a reason to let Shen Gongbao compete with the Hunjun and Daji in a battle of wits and courage.
And he quietly took Xiao Yang Jian to find a way out happily.
Dr. Shen said that I am very far-sighted.
Be it Shen Gongbao, King Zhou, or even Daji.
These three together would have no effect at all.
And even if Shen Gongbao's mouth is powerful, it can't change anyone's mind.
Dr. Shen is not worried about any surprises in his arrangements.
What's more, he still has Yang Jian as a guarantee. As long as he deceives Shen Gongbao and has no one around to protect him, is he going to die?
To control the tiger away from the mountain, no, to control the leopard away from the mountain, it is simply a matter of skill.
Sure enough, after hearing what Dr. Shen said.
Shen Gongbao on the side began to be confused, but then looked at King Zhou and Daji seriously below, seeming to be thoughtful.
Doctor Shen was ready to continue working hard and said with a righteous look:
"Everyone knows that there is a monster hiding in the palace, causing harm to the world, but there is nothing to do."
Now, since Taoist Shen wants to fight Xiqi and defeat Jiang Ziya, he has to protect King Zhou and support Yin Shang. Now is the opportunity. "
Shen Gongbao suddenly asked: "Doctor Shen plan to let me seek an official position in the Yin Shang Dynasty?"
Doctor Shen nodded: "Yes, the current Yin Shang Qi is not exhausted, and there are still more than ten years of national destiny. I believe Taoist Shen also knows it."
"This is the hope for Yin Shang to make a comeback."
"Although the princes of the world have rebelled three ways, Jiang Wenhuan of Donglu and Eshun of Southern Chu are not of concern."
"Under the general trend, it has been divided into two. Only Xiqi is the serious concern of the Yin Shang Dynasty."
"And if you want to deal with Xiqi and Jiang Ziya, Taoist Shen joining the Yin Shang is the best choice."
For Shen Gongbao, it seems to make some sense.
After all, Jiang Ziya was the Prime Minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If he wanted to fight against him, he would not only have to find Taoist friends to help him, but more importantly, he should have a good reputation as a disciple, and then defeat him on the battlefield in an upright manner.
Also, if a fool like him can manage the country, then why should I, Shen Gongbao, choose him?
Jiang Ziya can prosper the Zhou Dynasty, and I can naturally prosper the Shang Dynasty. As long as the Yin Shang Dynasty is well managed and civil strife is cleared, why should we fear Xiqi?
Thinking of this, Shen Gongbao patted his Taoist robe, his eyes brightened, and he only regretted why he had not found Dr. Shen earlier.
"Pindao already knows what Doctor Shen said. Don't worry now. I heard that Grand Master, Doctor Shen and I are here. Yin Shang will be as indestructible as a rock."
Shen Gongbao said confidently.
"Uh-huh."
Doctor Shen nodded perfunctorily.
It's fine for you two sleeping dragons and phoenixes to be together. Don't drag me along. This doctor wants to become a saint, so I don't want to be indestructible with you.
After having some ambitions, Shen Gongbao's whole person began to be full of energy and became very different from before.
But after a while, he figured out the doubts he had always had and couldn't help but ask.
"Doctor Shen, although this matter is very important, why do we have to come here at night?"
Doctor Shen:......
He was asked.
Can I say I'm in a hurry now?
Of course, Doctor Shen couldn't say anything, so he could only reply seriously.
"Such an important matter must be done as quickly as possible. Otherwise, without Daoist Shen, the people of Yin Shang will be in dire straits for an extra day."
"But is it really okay for me to be so fast? At this time...?" Shen Gongbao was startled, looked at King Zhou in the Star-Zhaing Tower, and said subconsciously.
"Of course, Dao Zhang Shen, you have to be the fastest man now, and you have to race against time, because you have fallen behind Jiang Ziya for more than a moment, and Yin Shang still needs your rescue."
Doctor Shen nodded solemnly and confirmed.
Shen Gongbao thought for a while. It seems that this is the truth. At this moment, the Yin and Shang Dynasties have not eliminated external troubles and internal worries. Especially Daji below is still bewitching the king.
One day later, it would harm the people of the world. When Shen Gongbao saw this, he immediately said with gratitude and solemnly.
"What Dr. Shen said made the poor man suddenly understand. For the sake of the Yin Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and for the sake of the common people in the world, the poor man will go now."
After speaking, he looked in the direction of King Zhou, looked at Doctor Shen, and smiled knowingly.
His eyes were full of excitement, and he walked directly on the clouds without hesitation.
…
Seeing Shen Gongbao slowly leaving, Yang Jian looked horrified as he listened beside him.
Doctor Shen actually discussed with Shen Gongbao how to deal with Xiqi in front of him.
Moreover, his master uncle actually wanted to join the Yin Shang Dynasty to fight against Chanjiao. This was simply a big deal.
Yang Jian was anxious. He must inform his master and Uncle Jiang about this matter so that they could make preparations in advance and not be careless.
Looking at the lonely figure in front of him, Yang Jian suddenly said with a complicated expression:
"Doctor Shen, now King Zhou is cruel, the Yin and Shang Dynasties have lost their destiny, and they are at the end of the road. Is it worth it for you to do this?"
"Have you ever considered your own life?"
Doctor Shen said to himself, of course I have considered it.
Isn’t this cheating yourself?
"It takes more than one person to change one's fate against the will of nature. This is the path to death." Yang Jian said silently.
Doctor Shen shook his head and saw that Shen Gongbao had been led away by him, and only himself and Yang Jian were left on the roof, so he spoke very calmly.
"It is said that those who follow the heaven will prosper and those who go against the heaven will perish. So, is what the monk does follow the heaven or go against the heaven?"
"Of course, it is against nature. Whether it is a human or a demon, when we gain power beyond our control and break the original constraints of the laws of heaven on us, we are acting against nature." Yang Jian replied without hesitation.
In short, obeying the sky means complying with the laws of heaven. Going against the heavens means breaking the original constraints of the heavens and rising to a higher level after understanding and mastering the laws of the heavens.
Doctor Shen continued to ask: "In this case, who in the world is not against heaven?"
"Even if it is a road of certain death, why are there so many people flocking here?"
Yang Jian was silent for a moment. At this time, he seemed to be less determined than before. He said with some hesitation: "The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and we monks have a chance of survival."
Doctor Shen smiled, walked to Yang Jian, looked at him with extremely deep eyes, and then sighed deeply:
"Perhaps there is no difference in this world between going against heaven and going with heaven. Being attached to either side is just obsession."
"The way of heaven is ruthless. There is a certain number but also variables. There is no fixed destiny. It just depends on how you go."
The way of heaven is never a personal thought, nor does it change depending on people.
The so-called following nature and going against nature are just titles given by people.
Or what people think in their own minds.
Most people think that what is right is to go with nature, and most people think that what is wrong is to go against nature.
But they don’t know that the laws of survival of heaven and earth always treat everyone equally.
never change.
No one can change it.
Doctor Shen looked at Yang Jian. This time his eyes were full of light and his tone was even firmer.
"You should look up to Heaven and not be ashamed of others. Your merits and demerits will be recorded in the comments of future generations."
"I have a clear conscience, it's Shuntian!"
Doctor Shen's words kept echoing in Yang Jian's mind, causing huge waves.
He had tried his best to overestimate Doctor Shen, but now he found that he and Doctor Shen were not at the same level at all.
Perhaps this is the difference in realm.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly felt indescribably confused, and seemed to have indescribable doubts.
There was obviously a door right in front of him, but he couldn't push it open no matter how hard he tried.
He gradually became silent and stood motionless. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes.
There was light in his eyes slowly, Yang Jian moved his steps and said resolutely in the direction of Shen Xin:
"Doctor Shen, I want to tell you a story."
…
