For the rest, he divided the four seas and rode four dragons to move the clouds and spread rain.
Calm down the storm and chase the waves, and the world will be peaceful.
In Pingling City of the East China Sea, it is rumored that Pinling Hou ① has the blood of the Dragon King and is named Ao. He is originally a god that reaches heaven and is a witch ritual spread all over the world. In order to show his merits in praying for blessings and rain for Donglu over the years, he was canonized during the Wen Ding period. Ping Linghou, one of the three nobles of Donglu.
At this time, on the turbulent seashore, the turbulent waves beat against the towering rock cliffs, and the loud rumbling sounds demonstrated the endless power of the sea.
The current Ping Linghou Ao Yu, wearing a green and yellow robe, stood on the edge of the cliff, chanting with a strange charm, like a dragon's chant, seeming to be communicating with the unknown existence in the sea.
After chanting for a long time, there was no response from the sea for a long time. Only the turbulent waves and waves kept hitting the shore. The noisy waves made people upset.
Ao Yu frowned and waved his hand. Hundreds of ragged servants were escorted to the edge of the cliff by soldiers in green armor, and then pushed down and smashed into the pure white waves. They screamed one after another. , but gradually extinguished in the huge waves.
After a while, the turbulent waves miraculously calmed down, and a water column slowly rose from the water. An old tortoise with a tortoise shell on its back and a wrinkled body stood like a human being. He cupped his hands to Ao Yu and said, "I haven't seen Ao Yu in ten years." Marquis, I have been summoned today, I wonder if Aohou has anything to disturb you?"
Ping Linghou Ao Yu, who was a little arrogant just now, immediately put on a flattering smile and greeted enthusiastically: "Is this the Prime Minister Turtle? Ao Yu is disrespectful!"
"This time for help from the Dragon King, Ao Yu received an invitation from the Dongyi heroes. Now we are asked to counterattack Donglu, respond to the Dongyi army, and intercept the retreat of Donglu and Chaoge Wangshi. Ao Yu is originally a mediocre person. How can I take on this great responsibility, so I ask the Dragon King to teach me and help me."
The turtle prime minister's small mung bean-sized eyes kept spinning. After learning about the current war situation in the world from Ao Yu, he stroked the turtle shell on his abdomen with both hands and murmured something in his mouth.
"Aohou, this matter is not easy to handle. You are also the noble son with the true blood of the Dragon King, and you are already the marquis of the highest happiness in the world. Why do you need to get involved with those barbarians from Dongyi? The destiny black bird descended to give birth to Shang. Five How can you easily pry the centuries-old Tang Dynasty into trouble? Why bother to cause trouble for yourself?"
Ao Yu smiled bitterly, that would be fine if he could really take care of himself. He was at the easternmost border of Donglu, next to the sea. If Shan Fan wanted to continue to develop, there was no room for him to develop. He couldn't reclaim the land. .
Ping Ling also followed the sect leader Donglu to conquer Dongyi. After two or three times of pushing and pushing, Ao Yu also gave up the idea of continuing to answer the call. If he won, he would get an enclave that was useless. If he lost, it would be a loss. What's more important is his Pingling Kingdom's strength. No matter how he struggles, the surrounding Donglu princes and suzerains seem to have settled with the status quo and no longer struggle, but they can block his upward heart.
"Prime Minister, Ao Yu has no ambitions in the first place. All I ask for is to take back what should belong to me. Since Ao Yu inherited the title of Marquis from his father, the Pingling Kingdom has been in good weather and its national power has been increasing day by day. However, the mediocre people around him have been doing nothing. , the country is full of starvation and death, and the lives of all people are in ruins. Ao Yu is not doing it for his own selfish interests, but for the common people of the world. If Ao Yu does not come out, it will be a disaster for the common people!"
Prime Minister Turtle looked at the person in front of him, narrowed his small eyes, and became a slit. Under the support of the water column, he kept looking around Ao Yu.
"Your grandfather was born from the union of the Dragon King and the human race. You can also be considered a descendant of my Dragon Race. I actually want to help you, but now the situation of the world has become complicated and confusing. Even the Dragon King of the East China Sea has to temporarily avoid this strange situation. crisis, so Aohou, please come back, Donghai can help Pingling adjust the rain and solar terms, what you ask for is very important, Donghai is not allowed to interfere."
Seeing that Prime Minister Gui was about to leave, Ao Yu hurriedly requested: "If the Dragon King is willing to help me, I would like to set up a sacrifice for the Dragon King in Pingling Kingdom!"
Prime Minister Turtle raised his eyebrows and looked back with a playful smile on his face. He ignored him and followed the water column as he was about to sink into the sea.
"Prime Minister, wait a minute, Ao Yu is willing to raise the dragon clan to worship with the human ancestors!"
The falling figure paused, and the old turtle face laughed: "Think carefully, are you a human or a dragon? How many times have those human ancestors appeared to help you? And how many times have we appeared to help you? Weigh the pros and cons, kid!”
Ao Yu looked struggling and stood there thinking for a long time. Prime Minister Gui was not in a hurry and waited there with interest, waiting for Ao Yu's reply.
There are four seas in the world, and there are dragon palaces in the four seas. It is unknown when they existed, but the four dragon kings are in charge of the sea. When they are in a good mood, they will make clouds and rain, which will cover the people. When they are angry, they will also have strong winds and tsunamis, sweeping away all the places along the coast. , leaving devastation everywhere.
The Lord of the Dragon Palace is the Dragon King of the Four Seas. He has at least a million sea monsters under his command. If it weren't for most of the sea monsters being unable to survive on the shore for a long time, there would be no story about human beings in this world. There are more creatures in the sea than human imagination.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, rules the ocean of the East China Sea and controls the power of heaven and earth such as rain, thunder, floods, tides, and tsunamis. He is the Lord of the East China Sea. No one can see his true appearance. However, in the stories passed down from Ao Yu's ancestors, Ao Guang Guangdong is a legend.
"Ao Yu, the unworthy descendant, is willing to be a descendant of the Dragon Clan, and I respectfully ask the Dragon King for help!!"
"Wrong, the one who helps you is not the Dragon King, but Long Zi. You have to strive for your best. Only if you can win the entire territory of Donglu, the Dragon King will help you. On the contrary, what helps you is Long Zi's personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Dragon Palace. , remember?"
"May I ask, which dragon is it?"
"Hahaha, my third prince of Dragon Palace, Ao Bing, is enough!"
Ao Yu's face was ashen, and Shenlong also had grades. Although Ao Bing was also the son of Shenlong, how long had he been born? Xiaolonger!
But now that things have come to this, it is extremely difficult to gain the support of the Dragon Palace. Unlike Su Hu, who dared to clamor against Dashang even with Zheng Lun and Chen Qi in his hands, Ao Yu sincerely looks down on the foresightful Jizhou. Hou.
When the Dragon Palace is there, there are many capable people and strangers. He can understand better than other princes what a strange and bizarre world this is. Only by having enough strange people and strangers can a prince have the opportunity to truly participate in the world of competition. .
The only regret is that Ao Bing's ability is not enough to support his great cause, and he is reluctant to ravage Donglu. But if the big businessman intervenes, what does Ao Bing mean? In the Battle of Beihai, it's not like Master Wen's army has never killed a dragon before. He gave everything himself. Dragon Palace wants to stand on the sidelines and reap the benefits?
After Prime Minister Turtle sank into the sea, the raging waves sounded again, and Ao Yu's brows revealed a sinister look.
"Wait, I will let you take the initiative to join the game, no one can take advantage of me, not before, and never will in the future!"
The former Dragon King was an unrivaled myth in Ao Yu's heart, but now his mentality has changed slightly. After all, the North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun has disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown. Ao Yu has made countless malicious speculations. , maybe he was eaten alive by some ferocious beast.
"Send my military order to recruit the Pingling army. In three days, follow me to 'rush to the aid' of Donglu!"
"promise!"
Far to the east of Donglu, the story that is happening in the country that enters the sea has not yet spread to Zhong Wu's front line. At this time, Xu Mu was hung from the camp gate by Li Wu, the king of Huaiyi, and his body was exposed to the scorching sun with his skin and flesh torn. , If it weren’t for the heaving and undulation of his chest, this miserable look would be no different from death.
Countless clan nobles and generals looked at this situation, and all of them looked horrified. Why is a letter like this? Killing him with one knife would be better than humiliating him like this.
This was a period of great integrity. Hundreds of years later, there were stories of people cutting their legs and drinking with each other. Two generals, Mo Xie, could decapitate four people. The king shed blood. The so-called warriors could be killed but not humiliated. Those who have been carried out to the extreme and can endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear, that kind of person is called King Wen of Zhou.
The instigator weighed the vine whip in his hand and walked around Xu Mu in a serious manner, looking at the man who was clenching his teeth. He was surprised that he could persist like this. He swore on his name that he was not a treason, but Li Wu was actually in his heart. Already half convinced.
But when people are beaten like this, does it matter whether they are right or wrong? unimportant! What's most important? prestige!
It is impossible for Wang to make a mistake. Even if there is a mistake, then why is it not someone else who received the letter but Xu Mu?
"Big Chief, what are you looking at?"
On the side, Lai Hu, the young master of the Niaoyi tribe, looked at Xu Mu with worried eyes and asked Li Wu nervously.
The big leader is the King of Huaiyi. He and his father killed two generations of Yihou until countless dead souls and piles of bones were killed. It took two generations to integrate the originally loose and disorderly Jianghuai into a place that could make the great merchants suffer. No one would think that the two father and son were able to achieve this by virtue of benevolence and righteousness. This is a place outside the law, not the Central Plains where morality is supreme.
Li Wu turned Laihu, who had never been on the battlefield, into a "Lai Mao" with just one look. His eyes were evasive and he did not dare to look at him. After careful inspection, he could see that "Lai Mao" was trembling. A pair of fat hands were held behind his back, holding the sleeves of his robe and wiping sweat from his hands.
"Oh! It's nothing. I just want to see how many bones have grown on your body, the noble son of Xu Guo who was kicked out by Xu Guo and Xu Yi."
Li Wu replied calmly, and then he seemed to have become interested in Laihu. He walked towards Laihu with his whip in hand. He was so frightened that "Lai Mao" fell to the ground and crawled back in fear.
"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't know he would have an affair with a wealthy businessman. I didn't know anything!"
Seeing Laihu's performance, Li Wu's face blossomed with a smile. It's so good. This is the young master of the Bird Yi tribe who once roamed the Beihai. With such a young master, Dongyi can be strong! It is estimated that it won’t be long before there will no longer be a Niaoyi ethnic group in the world. The best thing is that they will all become part of the Huaiyi people and create a harmonious Yi family!
"Nephew, I am your Uncle Li, what are you afraid of? I am just curious, what ability does this person have that allows you to make him a general and participate in this hunting of Donglu?"
Laihu explained awkwardly: "Actually, Xu Mu is still capable of leading troops, and he is the legitimate son of the general, so it is impossible for him to..."
"Oh~~I understand, dear Tianhuang, isn't it the General Xu Chong who supports your nephew to succeed? Oh, this is really a misunderstanding. My nephew has long said that he is the son of your General Xu Chong. Yes, isn’t this fight in vain?”
"Can we put Xu Mu down?"
"Hang it for three more days. Can you guarantee that the letter was really not erased by him? If the collaborator dies, I have been very merciful. At least he has been spared his life."
"If he doesn't die in three days, my wise nephew remembers to ask him to kneel down outside my camp gate to express his gratitude. You know me. I am a person who values kindness and love and righteousness the most."
Watching Shi Shiran leave Li Wu, Laihu looked sad and kept wiping the sweat from his body, and then told Xu Mu not to get angry, to endure the calm for a while, and to take a step back to open up the sea. The leader, the king of Huaiyi, can't hold his thigh with his arms. It would be better to have a better memory in the future.
Although Laihu didn't know what kind of memory he would have if he was directly blamed for something like this.
But if he turned around in shock, he would see Xu Mu's bloodshot and malicious eyes staring at Li Wu's back, spitting out blood foam, and chanting Li Wu's name.
After going around in circles and returning to the main camp, Li Wu turned around and forgot about the matter. The commander of an army seemed so glorious, but in his eyes he was still no different from an ant. Li Wu, who was paying attention to the war, Continue to pull everyone together and start to deploy a defense line.
"Everyone, let's talk about Uncle Ji, are you sure he will sail around from the Hongze River?"
Everyone couldn't tell for a while whether the big leader was fishing or asking questions seriously, and they didn't dare to answer for a while. Only Long Yi Fangxiang, who had previously fought Wu Gan alone, stepped forward to answer the big leader's inquiry.
"It's very possible that from the north, you have to cross two big rivers, two Surabaya rivers, two big mountains, and dense forests everywhere. Even if Ji Bo really wanted to go around, he wouldn't choose this road. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time on the road. The damage is enough for Uncle Ji to drink a pot."
Everyone nodded in agreement, the dense forest is dangerous, not to mention snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous snakes and beasts, the most difficult thing is the danger of trekking through mountains and rivers, and the risk of getting lost in the dense forest.
Li Wu spread out the map, and the small leather whip in his hand kept wandering from the river to Surabaya, and then to Hongze. He was a little unsure for a while.
"This kid should not be underestimated. It turns out that people in Beihai Jicheng and Gucheng have never thought that someone can travel thousands of miles to perform surprise attacks, but this kid just did it. He can do what ordinary people can't do, dare to think that ordinary people dare not, I am Nannan After twenty years of fighting in the north, he just tried to show his weakness to the enemy, and he still wants to hide it from me? What a naive child."
"Pass my military order to mobilize the Baiyi tribes to deploy defenses in the Sishui and Dahe areas. Be careful not to make any big mistakes. The Baiyi tribes are familiar with this landform, so be on guard against him just in case."
"Tell Xu Yi, Feng Yi, Yan Yi, and Yang Yi to garrison along the shore of Hongze. If there is a beacon smoke, the boats will go down to the lake and let them see what a real water battle is."
"promise!"
But at this moment, there was a commotion at the camp gate, and everyone became suspicious again.
what happened? Didn't Lao Shizi Wu Gan come here to fight for a round just yesterday? Why does it seem like someone is calling for war again? Do you really think of them as the Central Plains countries?
Li Wu was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand what kind of trick this was. He was about to tell Fang Xiang to continue fighting and drive the people away when he heard the commanding officer's voice from outside the camp.
"Report to the chief, Uncle Ji from outside the camp gate came to greet the army and sent a message to Chief Xu Yi to speak before the formation!"
"?"
"He only invited Uncle Xu?"
"Yes."
"Why did he only invite Uncle Xu?"
"I don't know what will happen next."
"But Uncle Ji has something to say. He said that he heard that Uncle Xu was very handsome. He wanted to ask Uncle Xu to describe it. He said that he wanted to compare, which one is more beautiful, Uncle Ji or Uncle Xu!"
Everyone looked at Xu Yibo's chubby face with bumps and wrinkles, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"???"
Xu Yibo: "...Everyone, I said I don't know anything. Do you believe me?"
PS: The original work of Fengshen contains only one sentence about King Ping Ling’s rebellion, including who’s name and why he rebelled. I can guess it just by seeing the word "王", and it is a character made up by Lao Xu. Like King Wucheng, there was only one king in the Shang Dynasty. So for the convenience of writing, I changed it to Ping Linghou, added some drama to its original sentence, and substituted it for the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
Please be informed that the above is not intended to be a substitute for historical facts. Ping Ling is purely a fictional character.
