The twentieth year of King Zhou.
Wen Taishi left Chaoge again and led his troops to the East China Sea for peace.
Emperor Xin hosted a banquet for ministers in the imperial garden, but lost the intimidation of Master Wen. That night Daji showed her true form and was cannibalistic. Huang Feihu discovered that Daji released a golden-eyed warbler and scratched the nine-tailed fox, thus forging a grudge.
Daji began to plot against Huang Feiwu.
·····
same year,
On the Xiqi side, Jiang Ziya was in command, and Nangong Shi was the vanguard to attack Chonghou Hu,
The process was extremely smooth,
After all, Jiang Ziya studied under Yuanshi Tianzun. He did not succeed in cultivating immortality, but his skills in military strategy were full.
Chonghou Hu showed his weakness in front of Jiang Ziya after just a few attempts.
Seeing this, King Wen Jichang became more and more satisfied with Jiang Ziya and found that Jiang Ziya's ability to govern the world was no worse than Wang Ming's.
As time passed in the battle between Xiqi and Chonghou Hu, defeat was imminent.
at this time,
Chong Houhu's younger brother, who has been studying abroad for many years, has returned. His younger brother Chong Heihu has a special skill and is about to turn things around and regain victory.
But,
Jiang Ziya, who had been watching the battlefield, was filled with joy. He was worried about how to express himself to make King Wen Jichang pay more attention to him. His performance of worshiping the black tiger was just like a sleepy pillow.
Facing Chong Heihu's spell, Jiang Ziya just calmly took off the white cloak on his body. Throw it into the air.
The Taoist gold thread on the cloak is rusted into the shape of the Eight Trigrams, emitting golden light in the air, eliminating all attacks from Chongheihu's side sect spells invisibly.
Seeing that the spell had completely failed, Chong Heihu panicked and wanted to dodge, but in the end he was a step too late and was captured alive by Jiang Ziya.
After returning to Xiqi Camp, Chong Heihu was extremely upright and simply surrendered, turning around and asking his brother to follow suit.
for a time,
The Zhou army camp was filled with the joy of victory.
········
night,
Outside King Xiqi City,
It looks like a very ordinary courtyard from the outside.
"It's really a butterfly effect! I should have finished the book right away, but the "Book of Changes" was delayed until the 20th year of Emperor Xin."
Wang Ming's eyes were filled with golden energy material. He leaned on the soft and comfortable back of the chair. He placed his upper hands flat on the wide armrests on both sides of the wooden chair and tapped subconsciously.
The "Book of Changes" was completed several years ago in the original timeline.
Now there is a different fork in the road.
After Wang Ming arrived in Xiqi, he was really a complete loser. Apart from basking in the sun, it could be said that he did not contribute anything to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Teaching Ji Fa was basically just dawdling.
The things taught are very good, but because they are so good, they have little effect. They are almost all theoretical things.
Until now,
The territory of Xiqi has not reached the level where monks are everywhere and immortals are not as good as dogs.
Therefore, King Wen Ji Chang and Ji Fa both thought that Wang Ming was a very powerful master.
And because Wang Ming was completely indifferent to other aspects except Zhouyi.
It made them feel that as long as Wang Ming obtained "The Book of Changes", he would leave Xiqi immediately.
then,
Ji Fa suggested that King Wen deliberately delayed the progress of "The Book of Changes".
"Although I know you are deliberately stalling for time, you are going too far." Wang Ming tapped the armrest with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand as he thought.
Wang Ming has always been aware of Ji Fa and Ji Chang's little plans.
But thinking that they have luck to protect their bodies, they also adhere to the principle that time is with me. He spent time with them slowly, not in a hurry.
But,
Time belongs to Wang Ming, but not to Ji Chang!
Ji Chang lived to be 96 years old at this time.
"Why!"
Wang Ming shook his head, a spark appeared in front of him, and then in the blink of an eye, a circular portal with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of the seat.
There were shouts and the sound of weapons flying outside the door.
Wang Ming stood up from the recliner and stepped through the space door that was filled with sparks.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei playing Laifu...ahem! !
I saw Chonghou Hu wearing night clothes, carrying a big bronze sword, chasing King Wen Ji Chang to chop him.
The sparks on the edge of the space portal make it very easy to see things in a room that was originally not very bright.
The two people, who were extremely nervous, immediately felt their bodies tremble. Ji Chang felt happy and Chonghou Hu felt his body tremble.
"Grand Master? Save the orphan quickly!" King Wen Jichang shouted in fear and anxiety.
Chong Houhu was now wearing a black night-walking uniform, and his face was covered with a black scarf. Assassination was a matter that required a high degree of concentration. Bai was naturally startled when a person suddenly appeared.
His exposed eyes showed hesitation, but immediately his eyes became stern, and he slashed down with a fierce sword, intending to kill Ji Chang.
"Click!"
"What?"
The shock and fear of Chonghou Hu can be clearly seen from the eyes exposed by the mask.
King Wen Jifa put his hand on his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief. Just when he was about to die by the sword, Wang Ming, who was six or seven meters away, appeared in front of Ji Chang in an instant, and then stretched out a Hand, hold the bronze sword between your index and middle fingers.
No matter how hard Chonghou Hu tried, he couldn't get it out of Wang Ming's fingers, as if he was being pulled by a huge force.
Also at this time,
Ji Fa may have heard the noise here and rushed over with his sword.
"Ouch!"
Wang Ming loosened his fingers, and Chonghou Hu's body was dragged with all his strength, causing his whole body to hit the wall behind him.
Ji Fa immediately started fighting with Chonghou Hu. The weapons in their hands kept colliding together, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.
Wang Ming turned to look at King Wen Jichang and frowned. The current King Wen Jichang was obviously frightened.
Ji Chang's death in the original plot was precisely because he was too frightened by Chonghou Hu's assassination. He could only hold on to his last breath and immediately asked Jiang Ziya for help.
"Is this an accident or not?" Wang Ming was confused.
King Wen Jichang was reluctant to raise troops to attack King Zhou, which was not consistent with the interests of some people.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ming put aside these chaotic thoughts and walked slowly towards King Wen's desk.
The desk is very messy.
There are memorials, side reports and other official documents, as well as a scroll of bamboo slips with only five or six written on them.
Wow! ! !
Wang Ming picked up the bamboo slip and glanced at it a few times, and realized that it was the "Book of Changes" that was still being written.
"Thanks to the Grand Master's timely arrival, otherwise I would have been killed by Chonghou Hu, a female thief today."
While Wang Ming was looking at the bamboo slips, the battle between Ji Fa and Chonghou Hu had ended.
A man worthy of the title of King Wu. In a hand-to-hand fight, he beheaded Chonghou Huxiao with one sword, and then took off his scarf to reveal his identity.
It was also because of this that Ji Chang had the opportunity to come over and express his thanks.
Wang Ming looked at Ji Chang for a moment and just watched quietly without saying anything.
"Why is the Grand Master looking at Gu like this?" Ji Chang asked, feeling a little frightened by the sight.
"Pay more attention to the Book of Changes!!!" Wang Ming patted Ji Chang's shoulder when he said this.
This action made both Ji Chang and Ji Fa frown, because it was a typical rude behavior, but in this situation Ji Chang had no reason to be angry.
Instead, Ji Chang felt in his heart that the pat he had just made felt quite comfortable and his body was warm.
··········
Xiqi successfully killed Chonghou Hu.
Soon after, the news spread to Chaoge.
Xiqi's behavior shows that it is obviously against the rules to attack Chonghou Hu who is also a prince without Wang Zhao.
then,
Chaoge sent Chao Tian and Chao Lei to explore the way to Xiqi to see if Ji Chang really had the disobedient behavior of rebellion.
After Ji Chang was assassinated by Chonghou Hu, although he did not die at the originally scheduled time, his body was indeed getting worse day by day.
Most of the power had now been transferred to Ji Fa, who simply supervised while writing the remaining parts of the I Ching.
Separate yard.
"master!"
Ji Fa pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and saluted respectfully.
"coming."
Wang Ming, who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, seemed to have just come out of his daze.
"I don't know, why did the master ask his disciple to come?"
Ji Fa actually hasn't been here for nearly a year.
Among them, he took over Ji Chang's power, and time became even less; and as Jiang Ziya continued to show his strength, immortals were no longer a rare thing in Ji Fa's place.
"You have now begun to take over government affairs, and your father's fortune is also shifting towards you. It seems that now is the time." Wang Ming said with a serious face.
"Is it time? What's the point?" Ji Fa was confused.
"Didn't you once ask me if you could gain extraordinary power?"
When Ji Fa heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He understood that Wang Ming would not talk nonsense for no reason. Since he took the initiative to bring it up, there was naturally a way to make him have extraordinary power, but he suppressed his emotions very openly.
"Both the master and the prime minister said that the emperor cannot support the cultivator, so I gave up that unrealistic idea." Ji Fa gave a push and pull to prevent himself from being so urgent.
Wang Ming glanced at Ji Fa inexplicably, and then said: "It is true that emperors cannot cultivate immortality, but I have a method here specifically for emperors to cultivate."
"A method specially developed for emperors?"
Wang Ming nodded and said: "Yes, this is a method created by the ancestors of a certain human race in the ancient times, and its name is "Huangji Jingshi Jing"
""Huangji Jingshi Sutra"! Huangji, Huangji, Renhuangxuan..." Ji Fa read in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wang Ming continued unhurriedly: "This skill does not require swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor does it need to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, nor does it need to strain the body. As long as you are the emperor or emperor, you can practice it."
Ji Fa finally couldn't stand it any longer and asked quickly: "Master, you once said that all things will abide by a law of conservation of matter. They do not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, do not absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and do not need to strain the body. So where does the energy come from? "
Wang Mingdao: "Luck! The larger the territory you manage, the more people you govern, the happier the people in the territory live, the stronger your power will be."
"And such amazing feats!"
Ji Fa sighed that it was tailor-made for him, and quickly knelt down in front of Wang Ming.
"Master, please give me some advice."
Wang Ming didn't waste any time, and sent the "Emperor Jingshi Sutra" to his mind with his mental power, and then Ji Fa knelt on the ground blankly, consuming the extra things.
There was no thought of waiting for him to wake up.
Wang Ming stood up, walked to the house at the back, and closed the door to block the view from outside.
Sitting on the bed with no wrinkles on the sheets, he flicked his palms on the small table on the bed, and instantly a roll of bamboo slips was spread out on the table.
Looking at the bamboo slips spread on the table, my mood is not so beautiful.
It has been a year since Ji Chang was assassinated last time.
However, the compilation progress of the "Book of Changes" was extremely slow. In one year, only seven bamboo slips were delivered.
"Are you planning to fish? Or are you fishing for donkeys in carrots?"
You must know that Ji Chang probably died of excessive fright after being assassinated by Chonghou Hu.
In order for him to finish writing the "Book of Changes", Wang Ming used the "Law of Creation" to condense a ray of the power of creation, and then mixed a flat peach to extend his life.
Other mortals whose lives are extended in this way can live at least five thousand years.
But Jichang's human luck was too strong, and the laws of heaven and earth did not allow human emperors, princes, and officials to live long.
Speaking directly, the effect of five thousand years has been reduced to less than two years.
Without that ray of power of creation, eating flat peaches will only make your body stronger, but your lifespan will not be changed by people.
"Ji Chang, you should understand what I mean!"
Wang Ming, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked with burning eyes in the direction of Xiqi Palace where Ji Chang was.
········
The twenty-first year of King Zhou.
The Yin Shang sent to Xiqi,
Tian Chaolei, who was trying to find out whether Hou Jichang of Xibo had any disobedience, died in battle.
When the news came back to Chaoge, he immediately heard that Taishi Lei Lei was furious and sent Zhang Guifang in command, with Feng as the vanguard, to attack Xiqi.
Xiqi Palace.
Ji Fa sat in the main seat and listened to the opinions of the officials below.
After two years of being in power and practicing the "Emperor Jingshi Sutra" taught by Wang Ming, his power became more and more powerful.
There was a wooden table placed behind Ji Fa, and Ji Chang was sitting there, holding rolls of bamboo slips and information in his hands, as if he did not listen to what Ji Fa and the others discussed.
Ji Fa and the others have also received side reports of Zhang Guifang's attack at this moment, and he is now discussing with Jiang Ziya how to deal with it.
Zhang Guifang is not a simple person, she is an extremely powerful opponent and cannot be tolerated by Ji Fa and the others.
At this moment Jiang Ziya cupped his hands and said: "I heard that when the king came back from Chaoge in the early years, he was able to return to Xiqi safely thanks to a magic weapon from the Grand Master.
If we can borrow this treasure in this battle, Zhang Guifang has nothing to fear. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood what Jiang Ziya was talking about.
That is the hanging ring in Wang Ming's hand that can open the door to space.
"I'm afraid the Grand Master is..." Ji Fa showed hesitation on his face. He could tell that Wang Ming didn't want to get involved in the dispute between them.
"If we can have the help of the Grand Master's magic weapon, the army will not need to carry a large amount of food and grass, and we will not need to protect the food road.
The march of the army is no longer boring and arduous. It only needs to pass through a door. On the contrary, our army must be elusive and highly mobile."
As Jiang Ziya continued to describe his advantages, Ji Fa was finally persuaded and stood up to ask Ji Chang for his opinion.
Ji Chang put down the engraved bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Ji Fa and sighed deeply in his heart.
Wang Ming taught "Emperor Jingshi Sutra", and Ji Chang understood what Wang Ming meant.
That's an exchange!
It’s also urging and threatening!
Therefore, Ji Chang worked hard on writing the "Book of Changes" this year, or at least watched it.
