When Chu Feng said this, he was actually implying that Taoist Hongjun, who had never shown up, and the saints were secretly manipulating everything. Whether they were the people who deserved the disaster or the old enemies, they were all pawns to let things develop.
Unfortunately, Shen Gongbao, who lacked cognition, did not understand this statement and shook his head in confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later"
Chu Feng whispered, and his body disappeared into the darkness.
He appeared again in a dark room, with dim moonlight shining in through a broken window, covering an old man sitting on the ground.
The strong stench indicated that the old man had not bathed for a long time.
"Seven years"
In the darkness, the old man looked up and muttered to himself like a nervous man, then fell into silence again, like a dying withered grass.
Time passed silently, and the old man stood up slowly with his hands on the ground, looking weak as if he would fall down at any time.
"Another year has passed. Madam, children, how are you? Boyikao and Fa'er have grown into men long ago!"
The old man stood up unsteadily, walked unsteadily to the door, looked up at the obscure moon in the sky, and murmured to himself.
"Xi Bohou, if you could go back to Xiqi now, what would you do?"
A calm voice spoke from the darkness.
The old man, Ji Chang, trembled and looked into the darkness, as if he thought he was hallucinating. He turned around and continued to look at the sky.
"Xi Bohou, if you could go back to Xiqi now, what would you do?"
The words were repeated again.
Only then did Ji Chang confirm that he had heard correctly. He looked into the darkness and said with a numb expression, "You are a ghost. You can't take me away. I heard that Grand Master and his fellow Taoists cast spells here."
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice laughed.
"Master Wen, how can he be the opponent of Brother Dao? Just answer Brother Dao."
Ji Chang paused, his tone sad.
"If he can return to his hometown with a broken body, Ji Chang will never say any disrespectful words to the government and the king again."
Obviously, the seven-year imprisonment broke the backbone of the famous Xibo Hou Jichang who once guarded the western part of Shangtang.
"It seems that Pindao has come at the wrong time. You are not good enough."
The first voice to speak sounded a little disappointed.
Ji Chang asked in confusion: "Does the Taoist Master want me to oppose business?"
"Perhaps the pain of biting a child will make you a beast that overthrows Shangtang."
After saying this, the voice fell silent.
"The pain of biting a child?"
Ji Chang thought of something and hurriedly made a divination. The divination showed that he would be able to leave Chaoge soon, but he would have to eat his son's meat to make meatloaf.
Thinking that the price of freedom was the tragic death of his eldest son and the fact that he had to eat his son, Ji Chang let out a low roar that was almost like a beast.
…
Outside Wubao, under the shade of a tree, Shen Gongbao had his hands wrapped in his sleeves, with a solemn expression on his face.
"When I saw the fox next to King Zhou before, I just thought it was an ordinary little monster. Because of what the Taoist said just now, I was shocked. I didn't expect that soon, she would persuade King Zhou to kill Ji Chang. His eldest son Boyikao chopped it into meat paste and made it into meat cakes and forced Ji Chang to eat it in order to test his loyalty. If Ji Chang doesn't overthrow Shangtang, he will die in peace."
Using this method to test loyalty is horrifying even with Shen Gongbao's dark underbelly.
"The hatred of killing relatives and taking away wives can awaken the sleeping beast in people's hearts. Just let things take their course." Chu Feng retracted his gaze from Wubao. "There will still be some time before the overall situation of becoming a god can begin. Pindao plans to go On a trip to the east, you can go to Xiqi and stare at Jiang Ziya, or you should go back to Kunlun Mountain and do your own thing."
After hanging out together for these days, Shen Gongbao suddenly separated. Shen Gongbao looked a little stunned.
"Brother Dao is going to the East. There is a war happening there right now. Is Brother Dao going to participate in a war between mortals?"
Of course Chu Feng would not participate in the war in the east, that would be too disrespectful.
"Pindao is here for one person. Counting the time, that person should be born. On the road to becoming a god, there are too few of us. Pindao plans to cut off a few of them to be helpers."
"I have nothing to do, so I would like to go and have a look."
Shen Gongbao said enthusiastically.
"All right"
Chu Feng reluctantly agreed.
…
Chentangguan, adjacent to the territory of Dongbohou, has no less than ten thousand troops. It is a famous place in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Jiang Wenhuan, who raised an army to avenge his father, led tens of thousands of troops and slaves and attacked fiercely for more than ten days, but he failed to capture it and instead lost thousands of people.
At sunset, the shouts of death gradually disappeared. Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, who was covered in blood from the fight, came down from the tower with his tired body.
A man who looked like a servant came running towards me from a distance, his face covered in sweat.
"Master, my wife is giving birth!"
"What"
Li Jing was shocked that his wife, who had been pregnant for three years and six months, actually gave birth.
At that moment, the pain in Li Jing's body disappeared without a trace, and his legs seemed to have wings, and he flew towards home.
Since the General Military Mansion was not far from the city tower, it didn't take long for Li Jing to return home. When he came to the bedroom excitedly, the door opened with a bang, and Wen Po, whose hands were covered with blood, looked at her face. He ran out of it in terror, shouting that there was a monster.
Li Jing stepped forward and grabbed Po Wen's clothes and yelled: "What happened? Why are you so panicked!"
Po Wen had already lost her mind, but when Li Jing was so frightened, her eyes turned white and she fainted.
Li Jing pushed Po Wen away and strode into the room. Suddenly a red light shone and Li Jing hurriedly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a red flesh ball, emitting a strange red light.
"Where did the monster come from?"
Li Jing, who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life and was proficient in some spells, was so jealous that he pulled out the sword still stained with blood from his waist and stabbed him directly.
Unexpectedly, the red meat ball was so strong that it shocked Li Jing several steps away.
At this time, a weak female voice came from the bed.
"Master, he is our child!"
"Child," Li Jing frowned and his expression became determined.
"How can my Li Jing's child be a monster?"
What he meant now was that he was going to kill this evildoer.
Just when Li Jing was concentrating his magic power on the bronze sword and preparing to kill his son, a clear voice came.
"Heavenly Lord of Infinite Blessings"
Li Jing raised his head in shock and saw a tall, handsome young man who looked like a fairy in a painting appearing at the door.
"General Li, this child is just born with a strange phenomenon, not a monster."
Chu Feng, who was standing at the door, casually moved, and the red flesh ball split open, and a fist-sized villain jumped out, and it grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"She looked like she was six or seven years old when she was born."
Li Jing's face was filled with shock, and the bronze sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"Pindao plans to accept him as his disciple"
Chu Feng walked in, looked at Nezha and said with a smile.
"Accept my son as your disciple?"
Li Jing's expression was a little confused.
"Wait a minute, poor Taoist. Under the throne of Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguangdong in Qianyuan Mountain has come to take General Li's youngest son as his disciple."
An old man with a slender face suddenly appeared at the door.
