"Ah...this."
Shen Gongbao was a little dreamy, his eyes darkened in an instant, and he murmured in a low voice: "Is there any unexpected gain?!"
Hug the grass and hunt rabbits, and take a hand with you.
He really came to see Emperor Fengdu. He never expected to find Zhang Huangtian along the way.
This is really a bad fate!
But, if you think about it carefully, it actually makes some sense.
No matter how many conspiracies and machinations the Red Emperor has, or how many cities he has, he is, after all, the former Emperor of Heaven, the first Emperor of Heaven in this universe, a symbol of the transition from wilderness to civilization, a symbol of the era, with great merit, great luck, and great achievements.
In addition, the Red Emperor is the first reincarnated creature. With this kind of background, not to mention the human world, there are several wives among the gods in the sky who can reincarnate the emperor of heaven.
If the destiny is insufficient, there will be disaster; if the virtue is not matched, there will be backlash.
As the god of disaster who is proficient in the art of luck, Shen Gongbao knows very well that if he randomly chooses a mortal woman to be the wife of the Red Emperor, she is destined to be killed.
In the whole world, only Emperor Fengdu can control the fate of the Red Emperor.
One is Zhiyang, the other is Zhiyin, one is Huangtian, and the other is Houtu. They are a perfect match.
"But why are you called Huang Tian? It shouldn't be Huang Tian."
Shen Gongbao paused, a trace of confusion appearing in his eyes.
You must know that the slogan of the Taiping Army, the number one rebel organization in the Three Realms, is Huang Tiandang Li.
"How do you know that I used to be called Huangtian!" Zhang Huangtian was startled at first, and then his face became full of vigilance: "Have you been spying on our couple!"
"I didn't believe the village chief said you had bad intentions before, but now it seems..."
Shen Gongbao coughed, waved his hand quickly and said, "I can swear to God that I have no such intention. I, Shen, have high moral character and good character, and he is the number one good person in the world."
"real?"
Zhang Huangtian frowned, full of suspicion
"real."
Shen Gongbao said seriously: "I would say this even in front of the Emperor of Heaven."
"So cruel!"
The village chief at the entrance of the village took a breath of air and swore in the name of the Emperor of Heaven. In this world with gods, it was a huge guarantee.
"Emperor of Heaven..." Zhang Huangtian was doubtful. For some reason, he had no respect for the so-called gods.
Even though this was a miracle and a world with true gods, he still didn't want to kowtow to the gods in the temple.
When he was a child, Zhang Huangtian followed his mother to visit a statue of a god. As a result, the clay statue broke into two pieces that afternoon.
There is nothing worthy of respect for a god who cannot even protect his own statue.
Later, he married a wife who also did not believe in God. Zhang Huangtian's attitude of contempt for gods became more and more serious, as if a superior emperor was ordering his ministers.
It's just that Zhang Huangtian only talks about this mentality to his wife and never shows it to outsiders.
Just because the couple doesn't believe in God doesn't mean that others don't.
Under Shen Gongbao's oath, the village chief completely let down his guard and began to persuade Zhang Huangtian not to be cautious. This was a misunderstanding.
"Misunderstand?"
Zhang Huangtian looked at Shen Gongbao with an inexplicable displeasure. He hated it from the bottom of his heart and said impatiently: "Outlander, what on earth are you going to do?"
Shen Gongbao asked curiously: "Why did you change your name to Huang Tian?"
Zhang Huangtian snorted coldly: "My original name was Huangtian, but my wife changed it later!"
"We have a very good relationship as a couple, you nigga, don't make any plans!"
"That's it." Shen Gongbao suddenly realized, and then asked: "May I ask where Mrs. Ling is?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on a quaint farmhouse not far away. The farmhouse had mottled bricks and tiles, and the walls were covered with ivy. In the courtyard, there was a beautiful woman raising chickens.
Although he was born in the countryside, he has fair skin and a Taoist charm in his bones, as if he was born a nobleman.
"You thief, you really covet my wife!"
Zhang Huangtian was furious, picked up the dung fork on one side, and rushed forward, his anger piercing the sky, as if the god of war was alive.
It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.
"Wrong, wrong, I am a relative of your wife."
Shen Gongbao changed his identity to avoid the dirty shit, and patiently explained: "I'm here to find my relatives this time."
"I believe you, my wife was born as an orphan. She has no relatives. You are a thief who wants to take a bite out of me!"
Zhang Huangtian is self-taught, has mysterious footwork, and is born with supernatural power. He looks like a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and has an intimidating temperament.
"It doesn't matter whether she has any relatives. Just ask her if she has seen this jade pendant?"
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and took out a dark-colored jade pendant from his arms. It was exquisite and clear, carved with the appearance of a dragon and a snake.
This was one of the back-up tools that Emperor Fengdu left for Ksitigarbha before his reincarnation.
Compared with the Heavenly Emperor Hedao Jiuyou, Fengdu Great Emperor Hedao Jiuyou has the home field advantage. Although it cannot reverse the general trend of reincarnation, it can lay down foreshadowings one by one to wake up oneself.
One detail after another, one small trend after another, gradually accumulate, and finally gather sand into a tower. With thick accumulation, you can break through the shackles of reincarnation in an instant and live a brand new self.
"Jade pendant!"
Zhang Huangtian looked at the jade pendant and was silent for a long time. An ominous premonition arose in his heart, as if everything was out of his control, just like a derailed train, moving forward recklessly and no one knew where it would stop.
"What kind of jade pendant, I have never heard of it."
Zhang Huangtian suddenly felt upset and felt that his peaceful life was going to be disrupted. He ran away without looking back, secretly thinking that he wanted to move away.
"It will come when it comes."
"Since the two of you are together in this life, then it is fate and cannot be avoided."
"Is this the meaning of heaven in this great universe?"
Shen Gongbao whispered and looked at Zhang Huangtian's retreating figure without stopping him.
Instead, he further thought about God's will. As a disciple of Chanjiao, his specialty is interpreting God's will.
Although the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Fengdu were in the same situation, they wanted to kill each other in their previous life.
To the providence of our own universe, hatred and emotions are not important. Heaven's heart has neither sorrow nor joy, it only sees the survival and future of the universe.
The Golden Immortal Emperor is the fundamental pillar of the universe, especially the emperor who combines reality with Tao. He cannot escape from the universe and is even more important to the will of the universe.
Every time there is one more Hedao person in a universe, it becomes more stable and farther away from Guixu. If there are three thousand Hedao people in a universe, then the foundation of the universe will be extremely solid and it will completely escape the fate of Guixu.
This is from the perspective of heaven, and from the perspective of humanity, there will inevitably be conflicts between those who follow the way. Apart from the disputes between ways, it is even more hope that one of the universes can only follow the way and be the only one.
The will of heaven is at odds with the human heart, which is another sense of conflict between heaven and man.
In the past, the will of the universe had nothing to do with the Golden Immortal Emperor and could not interfere with their actions. Just like the first Emperor Fengdu and the Red Emperor fought to the death, the will of the universe resisted, but it had no effect at all.
However, this life is different. The Red Emperor and the Fengdu Emperor are both in reincarnation. Their self-will is extremely weak and they are extremely susceptible to the influence of the will of the universe.
The will of the universe hopes that those who follow the Way can get along well with each other, preferably without conflict, and live in peace forever, or even cooperate.
Under this subconscious mind, the Red Emperor and the Fengdu Emperor became invisibly close.
There is no more reliable relationship in the world than husband and wife, so in this life Li Houtu and Zhang Huangtian became husband and wife.
"God's will, God's will again."
Shen Gongbao whispered, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. God's will is not a bad thing sometimes.
As a disciple of Chanjiao, after discovering God's will, the first thing is not to resist, but to add fuel to the flames, stir up troubles, and gain one's own benefits in the wind and rain.
As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
Relationships are often only stable if they are triangles.
"It's time for me to play the villain again and beat the mandarin ducks."
Shen Gongbao snorted, stepped forward, and showed a sneer: "Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, share the same!"
…
"Houtu, pack up Xinrou quickly, we are moving."
After Zhang Huangtian returned home, he got busy, packing up all the furniture in the house and moving it to the oxcart in preparation for moving.
"what's going on."
Li Houtu spoke softly, her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake, giving people a sense of tranquility and far-reaching, as if she would not frown even if the sky fell.
Zhang Huangtian was infected by his wife's emotions and calmed down little by little. He took a deep breath and casually made up a lie: "My enemies from the past came to the door. Let's move the things first and tell you in the car."
"No need to move."
Li Houtu grabbed Zhang Huangtian, shook his head and said, "Since the enemy has come to the door, and I don't want any property, go and burn down the house and let the ox cart run away."
"I'll get the food and copper coins, and we'll leave immediately."
Zhang Huangtian suddenly froze on the spot, and was stopped by his wife's decisive attack. He burned down his family's property and destroyed all the huge family property he had accumulated.
For a moment, even if Zhang Huangtian was born with an emperor's heart, he was a little reluctant to part with it. This was something he had saved with his own hands and was hard-earned.
"My life is gone, what will I do with the family business?"
"If you save the land, you will lose the people, and everyone and the land will be lost. If you save the land, you will lose the land, and everyone will gain the land."
Li Houtu said calmly, already holding the oil lamp in his hands and walking towards the woodshed.
In an instant, Zhang Huangtian was so shocked that he hugged his wife and said in a panic: "I can't do it, I can't do it."
Li Houtu's mind was moved, and he turned around to look at Zhang Huangtian for a moment. A ripple appeared in his beautiful eyes. He seemed to be confused, but in fact he said with certainty: "You are hiding something from me, Zhang Huangtian, you are lying to me!"
"I, I..." Zhang Huangtian was speechless for a moment, dripping with cold sweat, unable to tell a lie in front of his wife.
"Yes, he is lying to you."
Shen Gongbao was holding a jade pendant and stood in front of the door. He smiled and said, "Li Houtu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you remember me?"
Li Houtu looked at Shen Gongbao for a moment, his eyes lingered on the jade pendant for a long time, and finally he looked at Zhang Huangtian and asked, "Who is he?"
Zhang Huangtian was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice: "Don't you think that jade pendant looks familiar to you?"
"It looks familiar, even a little close."
Li Houtu said calmly: "But so what, in this life I only recognize you, Zhang Huangtian, as my husband, and you have been with me for more than twenty years."
"No matter how powerful that jade pendant is and how deep the relationship is, can it compare to you?"
"So I asked you first, not him."
This is a kind of trust that recognizes relatives but not reason.
Zhang Huangtian was extremely moved, as if he had taken a reassurance, and he did not want to deceive his wife anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "He said he is from your mother's family." '
"My mother's family?"
Li Houtu subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible? When I was four years old, all my family members died and I became a child bride for you. How could there be..."
"Wait a minute." Li Houtu paused suddenly, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, and murmured: "When I was three years old, a sister in my family was sold to the city as a maid. Could it be that you are..."
Shen Gongbao's expression darkened, and then he heard Li Houtu suddenly realize: "You are my brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?!"
Zhang Huangtian shouted out loud.
Shen Gongbao smiled happily, you see, there are still more normal people in this world.
"Yes, I am your brother-in-law."
Shen Gongbao agreed first, preparing to slowly trick Li Houtu, and handed over the jade pendant in his hand.
Li Houtu took the jade pendant, his slightly red eyes could no longer hide his tears, and two tear tracks streaked across his white face, which was very touching.
"Husband, go to the village chief's house and borrow a sheep to entertain my brother-in-law."
Li Houtu held the jade pendant tightly, crying with joy, and drove Zhang Huangtian out of the room, urging him
Zhang Huangtian waited until he left the room before he reacted and asked in confusion: "Is he really your brother-in-law?"
"How could you not know about my childhood sweetheart and my family?"
Li Houtu shed tears and whispered in his ear: "My whole family has died. Where did my sister come from? I was the one who deceived him. I never expected him to agree."
"It seems that this time there is a lot of danger. His target should be me. I will stay and delay him while you run away for your life."
"In the future, I will find a martial arts hall in the city to practice martial arts. If I am successful in martial arts, I will come back to avenge me."
Zhang Huangtian only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he was angry and jealous. He would pick up the kitchen knife and run in to fight for his life. He did not want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but he wanted to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day.
"Don't lose your life by being confused!"
"Zhang Huangtian, remember, you are living for me!"
Li Houtu bit his silver teeth and pushed hard, pushing Zhang Huangtian away a few steps. When he turned around and walked towards the back room, he actually put on a smiling expression.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Li Houtu looked as happy as if he had reunited with his lover after a long separation, and said impatiently: "Brother-in-law, please tell me about my sister."
"I didn't expect it, I didn't think about it." Shen Gongbao covered his face and sighed: "I have been hunting geese all day long, but today I got a peck from the geese."
As soon as these words came out, both Li Houtu inside the house and Zhang Huangtian outside the house felt a chill in their bodies, as if they had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
Li Houtu pretended to be confused and wanted to delay time for Zhang Huangtian outside the door.
Shen Gongbao stood up, coughed, and said solemnly: "Xiaotu, actually I am not your brother-in-law, I am the master!"
"In your previous life, you were an immortal under my throne. Due to the chaos in heaven, the two emperors fought and fell, and you were reincarnated."
"I'm here to help you become an immortal!"
Li Houtu:? ? ?
Zhang Huangtian:? ? ?
The murder scene jumps to the channel of cultivating immortals, and the style of painting becomes a bit fast.
