Chentangguan is a good place. It borders the East China Sea to the east, the Northern Territory in the back, the territory of Dashang to the west, and the territory of Donglu to the south. Sandwiched in such a place, although it is a battleground for military strategists, it created Chentangguan. With the prosperity of the pass in the past, countless merchants passed through this place, turning Chentangguan, which was originally a defensive pass, into a coastal trade harbor.
It was just a fuss by Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, that destroyed most of the buildings in Chentangguan. Fortunately, due to the timely evacuation of Li Jing and his wife Yin Shiniang, the casualties were not serious.
This year's heavy snow came a little late. People who sensed the changes in the four seasons in advance have already braved the snow and started building new homes. Otherwise, this winter would be difficult.
Meng Jibo's Zhengyi King's Army was stationed in the camp outside the city at this time, giving the people of Chentangguan an endless sense of security. They only needed to help the army transport and trade some sea goods, and do what they could to obtain this army. With the support of the elite King Master, he helped build the house.
This is also a magical experience for the soldiers of the King's Division. Although they have to work as helpers for the sake of physical training, this is the first time that these soldiers are so loved and respected by the people. They sometimes take a bath. At that time, people who went to restaurants in twos and threes to drink and eat meat were treated politely by the store owners, and merchants and heroes came up to talk and praise their bravery.
At this time, Meng Chang moved a small wooden stool and sat next to the camp gate of the Second Camp of Water and Fire. Ji Youyu sat on his lap. The two father and daughter were competing in a humming competition to eat pears.
The little girl didn't know whether she had been frozen in time for too long or something. Less than a year after she was taken out of the world of mountains and seas, she started to grow taller and her face became much rounder. She looked really cute and made Li Jing shy several times. I shamelessly came over to introduce Jin Zha and Muzha to see if we could have a baby kiss.
Meng Chang didn't care. He loved his daughter and let her choose. As long as the girl grew up and liked it, and there were no problems with her character and morals, Meng Chang would obey her.
The Lord has no children, and a group of rough guys in the military camp also treat Ji Youyu as a little princess, and they are doted upon by thousands of people.
"Okay!! Beat him, General Wei is so powerful, kick his butt and dig out his bird's nest."
The rough guys in the barracks have always come straight, and the words are more life -like. At this moment, a group of people are surrounding a ring. Former army general Wu Gan.
"You bastards, I am your chief officer, and you actually turn your elbows outward? I really hurt you all the time."
There was a burst of laughter, and Ji Youyu's face was full of pear juice, and he let out a sweet laughter like a silver bell.
Wu Gan, who was pretending to speak, suddenly turned around and struck Wei Hu's chest unexpectedly with a black tiger move, which made Wei Hu's chest thump, but it seemed that there was no harm at all. Instead, he took advantage of this Taking the opportunity, Wei Hu grabbed Wu Gan's arm with his backhand and threw him sideways, using brute force to throw Wu Gan onto his back.
"Oh~~~"
Listening to the cheers and cheers from the soldiers of the Vulcan Battalion around him, Wu Gan shouted in embarrassment: "No fight, no fight, you must have practiced some weird skills. How can there be anyone like you?" "My body is as hard as copper and iron. If I hit you, you won't feel anything at all. If you hit me, I will be in pain for several days. This is not fair at all. I won't fight you."
With a smile on his face, Wei Hu pulled Wu Gan up from the ground. Without replying or explaining, he just said gently: "Lucky, lucky, General Wu accepts."
Wu Gan's face brightened a little, and he dusted himself off and stood up. However, this guy was also muddy. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he thought about it. He couldn't fight with his fists and feet, but he actually wanted Wei Hu to take out the golden demon-subduing pestle and fight him. A battle of life and death.
"Okay, Wu Gan, you are an enemy of thousands of people on the battlefield, and what you are good at is legion combat. Why bother with these immortal cultivators in terms of personal force?"
It's not that Meng Chang looked down on him, but that Wei Hu's martial arts training, which was like a golden bell, was not his core ability at all. This guy's treasure, the Demon Subduing Pestle, was extraordinary. If he really took it out...
It was a powerful treasure that could beat people like Yuan Hong and Lu Yue until they screamed, and could turn people into powder when punched down.
Mengchang picked up Ji Youyu and placed him gently on the wooden bench. He took out two snow pears from his pocket and handed them to her. Then he called out the golden stick, walked forward with a smile, and motioned to Wei. The guard came up and gestured.
Who would have thought that this future number one protector of the Three Religions, the Seven Little Strong Saints, would actually avoid fighting, and said seriously with a serious face: "I have always been fond of fighting in groups, not one-on-one."
Anyway, Meng Chang's understanding is that those who can beat him will usually fight in single combat. He likes to fight in groups with those who can't beat him, and he will never fight in single combat with those who can't beat him.
Perhaps this is also the strength of Wei Hu. At least, he is clearly serious about his own strength. He is never competitive and knows how to act according to his ability. This made Meng Changgao look at him, and he felt sorry for this thick-browed man. He has a good impression of the future No. 1 person in Quanzhen among the Three Religions.
Just when everyone was busy, there was a noise outside the camp gate, and the officials informed them that it was Li Jing and his wife who came to visit with their young son Nezha to thank them in person.
Compared with four years ago, Li Jing's face has some more ravines of time, and there are also a few unsociable white hairs in the hair, making him look like he is aging.
When Li Jing just arrived, he immediately presented a large gift to Meng Chang. Behind him were a dazzling array of delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as rare treasures. However, he himself lowered his posture and bowed respectfully, but he did not match his official title.
"Brother Chang, I was lucky that you saved me from the crisis at Chentangguan that day and saved my son Nezha from fire and water. Li Jing has no way of repaying you for such a great kindness. Please accept my respect."
"Ah, Brother Jing, you can't do it, you can't do it, you and I are brothers. How can we let the eldest brother give such a gift to the younger brother? Don't offend the younger brother, don't!"
The relationship between the two has always been pretty good, so Li Jing spoke directly.
"After hearing about Brother Chang's virtuous reputation, I yearn for it in my heart. It's just a pity that my family fortune is so hard to let go. I can't just leave and fight with my sword like I did four years ago. But my son Nezha has the appearance of a golden fairy and his personality. But he is extremely stubborn. Since Chang is a young master, he wants to entrust Nezha to Chang to teach him the principles of life and the concept of good and evil. In the future, he will be a halberd wielder under your account. What do you think? "
Mengchang was speechless and choked. He didn't know who he was in the first place and where did his reputation for being good at teaching come from. Ever since he became the young teacher, there had been many requests for childcare from people like Li Jing, which made him very nervous. distressed.
Nezha is not a light-hearted person, he is rebellious and courageous, so he is not a being that can be changed so easily.
At this moment, Ji Youyu saw angrily looking at Nezha who snatched away the snow pear from her hand on the side of the gate. Looking at the little kid with a bad smile who got the advantage and behaved well, Ji Youyu got angry and said, He directly summoned a domineering concentrated Xuanwu shadow and headed towards Nezha to suppress it.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. When the true fire of samadhi in Nezha's mouth spurted out overwhelmingly, the Xuanwu shadow showed a hint of human mockery. Under the heavy water cover, the true fire disappeared.
Nezha whizzed out of the Universe Circle in his hand, and was about to hit Ji Youyu on the head. He saw a golden long stick flying towards the Universe Circle, knocking it down, and a pair of powerful big hands wrapped around it. Samadhi True Fire held it firmly in the palm of his hand, and no matter how Nezha spewed out his magic power, it was difficult to shake it.
"Bah, big man, don't think you dare to accept my magic weapon just because you saved me. If you have the ability, return the magic weapon to me. When I grow up, I will make you look good."
Li Jing was angry, Yin Shiniang was anxious, and Meng Chang also laughed angrily. At a young age, he knew that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi should not be bullied by poor young people. This is to make a ten-year agreement with him after he upgrades to fight monsters. Then brush up his rhythm?
"Brother Jing, this kid is extremely violent. If he is not disciplined, it will definitely lead to a big disaster in the future. I took over the matter. The next day, I asked Senior Brother Taiyi to grant him a magical power and send him to the military camp to be reformed. .”
Li Jing was overjoyed, and he and Yin Shiniang immediately bowed to express their thanks.
The heavy snow in Chentangguan is still falling, and its clouds are gaining momentum. Various work chants are heard in the city all day long, and cheerful training songs often appear in the military camp. The moment of peace brought by the heavy snow allows Meng Chang to finally relax Come down and enjoy the rare quiet time.
Just seeing Li Jing and Yin Shiniang fighting each other every day, the hot-blooded young man was inevitably a little bored, so he took out the bamboo slips, and after thinking hard, he decided to write a letter to the Deng family girl who was transferred to Jiepaiguan. After the rebellion was suppressed, he didn't understand why Deng Jiugong changed his attitude so much. He lost contact with him for a long time, and he didn't know what the Deng girl's plans were now.
Not to mention the peaceful years in Chentangguan, Ao Guang, who was beaten to half a dragon's life last time, flew all the way to the ninth heaven, shouted the name of Haotian, and wanted to sue Taiyi Zhenren, Meng Chang and others. Xingtian.
God Haotian was very unhappy, so Taibai Jinxing was also very unhappy. After being questioned, Haotian wanted to know what exactly Taibai Jinxing had recruited when he went to recruit people. He didn't go to heaven, so he turned around and recruited the new members of Heavenly Court. The Dragon King was beaten half to death, which made him very angry.
If others see his little brother being beaten and he remains indifferent, how can there be any sense of majesty in Heaven, which has only a few people in the first place.
"Chang Geng, tell me, how to deal with this matter?"
Looking at Taibai Jinxing who looked troubled by constipation, Ao Guang stretched his neck and stared expectantly at the powerful minister in heaven, as if he wanted to see the light of righteousness in him.
"Well...this...I think, maybe...should...maybe, is there some misunderstanding!"
Ao Guang became anxious immediately, and the image of the old man in human form instantly turned into an old pocket white dragon, crying in grievance.
"What's the misunderstanding? Take a closer look. Half of my body was broken. Even the dragon balls were cut to pieces. Are you telling me it's a misunderstanding? This misunderstanding almost cost me my life. Mr. Xing, can you You can’t talk nonsense and deliberately favor outsiders!”
Ao Guang does look miserable, and it doesn't look like he's acting. Ordinary actors probably don't have this kind of life-threatening professionalism.
Taibai Jinxing looked at the frowning Heavenly Emperor and immediately gritted his teeth and changed his words: "There is a way, but it depends on how far the Dragon King wants to go."
"Haha, Xingjun is fair. I understand the difficulties faced by Heavenly Court, so Old Long does not dare to ask for too much. Please ask Heavenly Court to come forward to severely punish the human race, severely punish the great merchants, and hand over the murderer Li Nezha and the instigator Meng Chang. You can do it, Xingjun." ?"
"...Dragon King, you may not know that the Emperor of Heaven has appointed Meng Chang as Marshal of the Tianhe River, in charge of the 80,000 Tianhe navy. From now on, you will have a lot to deal with. This matter is too tense..., If something unexpected happens in the Dragon King's East China Sea, you will still have to rely on the Tianhe navy to come to your rescue, right?"
Ao Guang looked at Xingjun in surprise, and then took a sneak peek at God Haotian. Seeing that Emperor Haotian didn't refute, he felt a chill in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he still said unwillingly: "Okay, then I will give Xingjun some face, but Mengchang must come to my East China Sea Dragon Palace to apologize to me, and Chentangguan must hand over Li Nezha. This request is not too much."
Taibai Jinxing let out a sigh of relief. He was helpless. On one side was the Emperor of Heaven and on the other was the Five Elders. There was no one he could offend. As for the Dragon King of the East China Sea? Still can't catch his eye.
"Emperor Heaven, Xingtian is involved this time. I'm afraid Chang Geng is not very suitable to be involved. Do you think it would be more appropriate for us to send a colleague from the human race to supervise this matter?"
God Haotian nodded. It was indeed true. Taibai was Xingjun and an important minister of Heavenly Court. If he appeared in front of Xingtian, this bastard who always liked to fight against Heavenly Court would probably have a direct fight with Taibai Jinxing.
A majestic and transparent decree spread throughout the Nine Heavens in the blink of an eye, seeking the opinions of all the ministers in heaven.
"Which immortal family is willing to go to Chentangguan?"
The deserted heaven suddenly became lively, and all parties were busy discussing.
"Emperor of Heaven, Jiang Yiqi is willing to take this life and vent his anger for the Dragon King."
God Haotian was a little shocked. Why did the Red Emperor of the South, one of the Five Elders who had never been called upon, suddenly visit Heaven? And you took the initiative to ask him to take over a mission? It's really strange.
"Okay, then..."
"No way, Emperor of Heaven!" The Dragon King became anxious again. His pale face turned red from excessive blood loss. He did not dare to question the Red Emperor loudly, so he could only mumble something from between his teeth: "Then Meng Chang seems to be It's Shennong's family, Jiang's surname, let the Red Emperor go, isn't this the same as a father beating his son and shutting the door behind him?"
God Haotian suddenly realized, and immediately rejected the Red Emperor's request. He looked towards the Wulao Palace with his eyes. The Wulao Palace was very lively today. He saw that the Red Emperor, the Black Emperor, and the White Emperor were all in the hall. The Heavenly Emperor nodded with satisfaction. .
"Emperor Heaven, if you don't want to do this, let Bai Emperor go. Bai Emperor has an incarnation in Dongyi and is the Lord of God. Then Mengchang defeated the believers of God in Dongyi, and also destroyed many gods of the Eight Gods when he cut down mountains and destroyed temples. Temple, I think Bai Emperor should be able to handle this matter fairly."
"good!"
Then, a divine decree came, and Bai Emperor immediately covered his head and looked at Emperor Yan and Emperor Zhuanxu of the Shennong clan in a state of tears and laughter: "You two, how should I handle this matter!"
The two human ancestors covered their mouths and laughed evilly, saying nothing, just silently watching Shaohao's joke.
"Oh, that's all. If I go there in person, I won't lose my identity. Let's leave this matter to Phoenix."
As a result, this divine decree fell from the ninth heaven and went straight to Yingzhou in the overseas fairy mountains. It floated into the hands of Phoenix through the five-color clouds. Phoenix received the decree and was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to deal with it. When he turned around and thought, he seemed to be... I have a son who works in Dashang. There are risks in the catastrophe. You need to be cautious when entering the situation. It is better to let them handle it by themselves.
Then, the decree fluttered and flew straight to Jinji Ridge, where Dashang leads to southern Xinjiang, and flew into the hands of Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan was at a loss when he looked at the content of the decree. He didn't think Uncle Meng Ji had anything to do with it. Wrong. I didn’t want to do something that would offend my colleagues. After thinking hard, I suddenly remembered that I have a younger brother. This younger brother has always hoped to rush back to the sycamore tree and have fun at the knees of his mother. His mother’s decree is in the decree. The breath should make him obedient.
Finally, the decree continued to float, flying all the way to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang, and arrived at a towering Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. In the Pengniao Cave, one of the ten caves at the top, there was a young The golden-winged roc is swallowing the essence of the sun and moon.
"Huh? What is this?"
The golden-winged roc picked up the will of heaven from the sky, and his mind was filled with questions, but he felt a little excited after feeling the breath of peacock and phoenix in it.
"Could it be that my mother and elder brother finally recognized me? Haha, Dapeng, Dapeng, your efforts are not in vain. My mother and elder brother still care about me. Isn't it just a matter of accountability? It's not desperate. I just go back and forth. , it can be done in an hour at most.”
The golden-winged roc put on his most gorgeous multi-colored battle armor, combed his bird feathers into an adult look, and shouted to the Golden Lion Cave and White Elephant Cave next door with great satisfaction.
"Eldest brother, second brother, my mother has invited me. My younger brother is going to do a big event. You drink at the banquet tonight. I'll be back soon, younger brother."
After that, a ray of golden light rose from the ground, and the roc bird turned into a golden meteor. It flew through the sky very fast and pulled out a sonic boom, heading straight for Chentangguan.
Let’s borrow two settings:
Shaohao: Fengniao family, known as the King of Birds. When he was born, there were five phoenixes in the sky, with different colors. They were born according to the colors of the five directions: red, yellow, blue, white, and black. They flew to the Shaohao family. 's courtyard.
Phoenix gives birth to peacock and roc.
The former is the prototype of ancient mythology, and the setting of the Phoenix giving birth to the Dapeng comes from Journey to the West.
