As soon as she finished speaking, the half-cut cricket eel in front of her suddenly manifested many Taoist charms and turned into a Taoist exactly like Hongjun.
After the Taoist transformed into a human form, he bowed his body and said respectfully to the woman, "Hongjun has met my Taoist friend, but where does he come from?"
She did not answer, looking at the transformed Hongjun with curious eyes, then she pointed a finger, leaving a mark of the Ancient Imperial Prison on the soles of Hongjun's feet, and then raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said:
"You don't need to know where I come from... you only need to know one thing. From now on, you will be my slave."
…
world.
January flies by.
Dragon Moon, fourteenth day.
Chaoge City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it is full of joy. The human beings who are coming and going to enlightenment are all in high spirits, and the warriors are walking like a dragon and a tiger.
In the city, people burning incense and bathing can be seen everywhere, and immortals and gods can be seen talking to each other.
Tomorrow is the time when the World Tree will appear again, and the King will grant you the time to practice enlightenment under the World Tree.
Lively discussions could be heard throughout the city.
"Fellow Daoist Liu Qing, why are you here at Chaoge today? Aren't you always in Chentangguan Wanfa Pavilion?"
"It turns out to be Taoist friend Goubao. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! Tomorrow will be the time when the World Tree comes to the world again. Last time, I just took a look at the World Tree from a distance. For such a grand event, I thought I should come to Chaoge to pay homage. better."
"Haha, fellow Taoist Liu Qing must have heard that rumor, right? Even if you don't read through the Wanfa Pavilion's exercises, as long as you can watch the ceremony at Chaoge tomorrow, you may have the opportunity to enlighten under the World Tree."
"Isn't this fellow Taoist Goubao?"
"That's right. Then shall we go?"
Similar conversations can be heard everywhere in Chaoge City.
And the rumors are getting more and more exaggerated, and there is even a content that as long as you take a look at the World Tree in Chaoge City tomorrow, you can get a life span.
…
royal palace.
Shouxian Palace.
Zi Shou lay on the happy chair, half-closing his eyes, enjoying a moment of leisure and tranquility.
Next to him were the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Fruit sent by the Qing Dynasty, the Blood Spirit Wine brewed by Blood Lotus Island, and the Xianyin Moon Box from the Immortal Workshop, which contained melodious heavenly music.
Tu Shan Jiu'er was waiting on his side, massaging Zi Shou, and from time to time he would give Zi Shou a spiritual fruit and a glass of spiritual wine.
While Tushan Jiuer was enjoying leisurely here, he also reported to Zishou one by one the news that was spreading in the city.
After hearing this, Zishou raised his eyebrows and said: "If we continue to pass this on, are they afraid that if we live in Chaoge for one day, we can get a piece of the Tao Principles, and if we live in Chaoge for a year, we can understand the Tao Principles?"
Tushan Jiuer bit her sweet lips with her teeth and lowered her head without saying a word.
Your Majesty, weren’t you the one who let the initial rumors spread on the dark web? What's the use of just doing this?
Tu Shan Jiu'er said softly: "Your Majesty, there are more and more gods and gods in Chaoge City. The number has reached more than 100,000. I'm afraid there will be even more after tomorrow."
"So, how should order be arranged in the city?"
Matters of chance are inherently mysterious and difficult to understand.
Disciples of the Great Saint Sect may miss opportunities if they receive guidance from saints, especially those immortal monks who have no heel background.
When the World Tree comes to the world tomorrow, it will surely stir up a storm in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths again.
Even if the gods and gods don't fully believe the rumors in Chaoge, they will still come to Chaoge to try their luck for their own opportunities.
Among the immortals and gods in the heavens, there are only a few who have the conditions to read the more than 600 exercises in Wanfa Pavilion. There are more immortals and gods who even smashed the cave and sold all the treasures to dig out hundreds of thousands of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I can't raise the money either.
Those among the immortals and gods who want to directly join the Great Shang and become its subjects cannot be accomplished in a day.
Therefore, before this, all the gods and gods will definitely believe in all kinds of rumors. Even if they don't believe it, they will still have the mentality to give it a try.
Zi Shou chuckled lightly and said: "It is my decree that from tomorrow onwards, all immortals and gods who have not served in the court must pay an entry tax when entering the city."
"For the city entrance tax, let's set it at 10,000 yuan a day."
"With ten thousand dollars, you may get such a great opportunity, which is more real than the lottery."
What is a lottery?
Tu Shan Jiu'er's stunningly beautiful face paused for a moment. She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she said, "Accept the order."
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.
I wonder if Xiao Sheng, Cao Bao and the others will have time to create enough new money.
Tu Shan Jiu'er thought about the treasures of heaven and earth that had been piled up into an unknown hill in the palace treasure house, and he vaguely guessed why Zi Shou collected so many things.
Is this going to cut off the retreat of all the gods and gods?
After these treasures of heaven and earth were collected, they had already been abandoned by Emperor Xin, and Zhao Qi, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, promoted their planting in mountains and rivers.
At the same time, we prioritized several famous mountains and rivers.
Tu Shan Jiu'er didn't know Zi Shou's further plan, but she knew that these heavenly materials and earthly treasures gradually flowed from the outer world to the human world with the flow of Dashang's currency.
The gods and spiritual beings in the outer world have all become human beings. Is the way of heaven still the way of heaven, and the human world still the human world?
The two sages in the West are still calculating the fate of the world, but the king has already begun to plan the overall situation beyond the ancient times. Such a comparison makes the sages quite pitiful.
Tushan Jiuer peeled off a ten-thousand-year-old red fruit and brought it to Zishou's mouth. He said softly: "Your Majesty, those seven are still waiting in front. Why don't you go and meet them?"
The seven people she mentioned were naturally the seven people who achieved enlightenment under the World Tree this time.
good……
The candidate for Enlightenment has already been decided.
This viewing... was just a formality.
Tushan Jiuer knew that the king had already decided on these seven places seven days ago.
Among the human race's enlightened people, they were selected to be the old prime minister Shang Rong, the medical minister Yang Chan, and the old master Wen Zhong.
Among the immortals and gods who have realized the Tao, Yang Jian, the leader of the Second Immortal Sect, Ao Jia, the eldest prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, Nezha, the third son of Li Jing in Chentangguan, and Zhao Gongming, a disciple of the Jiejiao sect.
Zishou shook his head and said: "I don't need to worry about this matter anymore. It's their own chance to realize the Tao. I gave them the opportunity, and the rest is up to them."
Tu Shan Jiu'er blinked his charming eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, are we really not going to tell Zhao Gongming that he has already reserved his quota?"
There are currently a total of 621 exercises in Wanfa Pavilion. To read all the exercises in Wanfa Pavilion, even if you are a direct disciple of the Great Sage, it is not that easy in a short time.
In addition, Chaoge's coinage is limited, so the daily currency exchange limit is limited.
As a result, it is even more difficult to read all the techniques in Wanfa Pavilion.
In such a grand event, it was natural that the final quota could not be filled, so Zi Shou appointed the Immortals and Gods among the quota for enlightenment under the World Tree for the first time.
Zhao Gongming didn't know this. He had received Tongtian's decree and had to get the first quota.
So Zhao Gongming exchanged the countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures sent by the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit from Tongtian into coins, and at the same time collected the salaries and family properties of all his colleagues who worked in Dashang, and finally finished reading the book eight days ago The skills in Wanfa Pavilion.
However, after reading the exercises, Zhao Gongming is still in Wanfa Pavilion and falls into self-doubt...
After hearing Tushan Jiuer's words, Zishou waved his hand and said, "If the future God of Wealth is not allowed to contribute money, wouldn't it be an insult to him?"
Tushan Jiuer:? ? ?
She sighed, again saying something she didn't understand.
Ever since the king forced away the fate of heaven, there have been more and more words that I can’t understand.
Could it be that in the fight against heaven's punishment, Tao's heart was secretly injured?
Zishou ignored Tushan Jiuer's doubts and continued: "I have already set the rules regarding the World Tree, and the rest can be left to the central government to arrange."
"Jiejiao is rich and powerful, and the saints of the Shangqing Dynasty are generous in spreading wealth. How can I live up to their good intentions?"
Tushan Jiuer wrote down Zishou's holy wishes one by one and was about to explain it when he heard Zishou pause for a moment and say:
"I won't care about the journey to the west from now on. You have nothing to do in the harem all day, go and play with Buddhism."
Tushan Jiu'er was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, how can Jiu'er play chess with a saint?"
"There are two saints in the west who are going to die personally, and there are powerful powers like Styx, Kunpeng, and Lantern to help me... I am just a harmless little fox."
The corners of Zi Shou's mouth twitched...
If you were harmless, how could Beihai become a sea of corpses and blood...
In his view, now that the ancient world is closed, destiny has also come to a standstill.
It will take a thousand years for the World Tree to repair all the fragments of the principles of human destiny. In such a long time, only the Eighty-one Difficulties of Journey to the West can be regarded as a rare pleasure.
It would be no fun to kill the pilgrim early, so it would be better to leave it to Tu Shan Jiu'er to pass the time.
"Don't be so nervous. Even if you are not good at strategy, you can still handle the journey to the West."
"Under the fate of the world, no matter how talented a person is, there is no possibility of turning over."
Tu Shan Jiu'er was still a little worried. She said softly: "Your Majesty, the luck of the human world has skyrocketed, and the luck of Buddhism is rising in the east and falling in the west."
"Even if Buddhism loses against all odds, the loss of luck is only a small amount."
"But I, all over the world, have overcome one difficulty and lost more luck than Buddhism who lost ten difficulties. If Jiu'er goes by what the king said, once he makes a mistake, the loss in the world will be too great."
Zi Shou took a sip of tea made from the leaves of the world and said: "The world tree appears once a month now. It is just adapting to the fate of the world to avoid having too much impact on the world of Kyushu. Once it adapts, it will exist forever."
"At that time, there will be a World Tree to suppress the luck of the world. Even if Buddhism wins the eighty-one and eight hundred and ten difficulties, it will not be able to draw any luck from my world."
"By then, traveling to the West will be just a child's play. I have countless ways to make the West unable to travel to the West without violating the contract."
"By then... none of this will matter anymore. I have more important things to do."
Zi Shou looked beyond Jiuxiaoyun and thirty-three days away.
Wang Teng will be released from prison in four months at most. With him suppressing the fate of the world, let alone the Second Saint of the West, even if Hongtian comes, he will not be able to affect the fate of the world at all.
】
As for the team of pilgrims, it is enough not to arrange any disasters within four months. Due to the conflict between human destiny and Buddhist destiny, Sakyamuni will only be unable to move an inch, and he will not be able to go very far in four months.
Over at Hongchao, Zishou wasn't worried from the beginning.
The cultivation levels of Hong Yi, Fang Yun, and Meng Hao are currently no higher than Daluo Jinxian, but after all, they are all children of destiny, and their strategic minds are first-rate.
With them here, Hongchao can be as bad as Chaoge even if it is a mess.
He smiled and said something familiar: "Now, among the gods and gods in the heavens, no one can dictate or plot against the human world based on their strength and status."
"Since the development of the human world, it has the ability to overturn the table with heaven."
"I agreed to travel to the west just to have fun, so don't take it too seriously."
As soon as Tushan Jiu'er heard what Zi Shou said, he immediately felt relieved, bowed and said, "In that case, Jiu'er will definitely live up to the king's trust."
Zi Shou smiled slightly and said: "Every difficulty in Journey to the West is a first-class script. I will ask the Immortal Opera House to make it into a fairy tale."
Tu Shan Jiu'er was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, these are all embarrassing things for Buddhism. If you do this, wouldn't it be..."
Zi Shou took a sip of spiritual wine and said with a smile: "How can you say it is an embarrassing thing? It is clearly an interesting thing. It should be sung by all the people."
After saying that, Zi Shou seemed to have something in mind, sighed and said:
"Jiu'er, public opinion is in my hands, so I have to use it naturally. When all the gods and gods have developed the habit of watching immortals take photos, then I can let the heroes of the world tear apart time and space, and be sung by the world, and beaten by Buddhist monks. If a tiger dies, it will be called a drama."
"This is the first unequal treaty in history."
Tushan Jiuer was stunned.
This time, it wasn’t just a word that I couldn’t understand, but the entire sentence that I couldn’t understand at all.
But she still showed a sweet smile and nodded: "Jiu'er understands."
Zi Shou smiled, not taking it seriously, and with a casual move, a stack of books on the desk that had been written for an unknown period of time fell into his hands.
Zishou handed the stack of pages with long-dried ink to Tu Shan Jiuer and said:
"If you don't want to work hard, just follow the instructions above."
Tu Shan Jiu'er was stunned for a moment. After taking a look at the first page of the stack of paper, he suddenly discovered that there was a line of large characters written on this page.
"Nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties..."
Tushan Jiuer was startled, and with a sweep of his mind, he remembered the words on this pile of paper.
Her eyes flickered, full of surprise and disbelief.
because……
On this stack of paper, the arrangement and layout of the Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Dilemma have already been clearly written down.
The daughter country.
True and false Shiva.
Three dozen white-bone spirits.
Lion camel city.
Bull Demon King.
…
Even for every difficulty that stands in the way, arrangements have been made from above.
Empress Shiji, several blood ancestors, Empress Shiji, Kong Xuan, Kui Niu...
Tushan Jiuer quickly put away the eighty-one difficulties, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zishou stood up and left, taking out a few boxes of World Leaves that had been piled up on the back mountain, and said: "The New Year is here, let Wen Zhong take these boxes of World Leaves as New Year's gifts and send them to a few saints. superior."
"In addition, Heavenly Court and West Kunlun will also send a copy."
"In the new year, everything is renewed."
"I will be the host and let the gods and gods taste the leaves of the East."
…
As soon as Zi received the edict, Wen Zhong came upon hearing the sound, and then a black unicorn rose into the sky and flew towards the dojo of several saints.
soon.
The New Year is coming, February 15th is here.
The second Tongtian Port was opened in the world.
Chaoge City.
This day.
Immortals and gods from all over the world gathered together, and the people of the Nine Provinces swarmed in!
Not for anything else, just for one day of enlightenment under the World Tree!
And at this time...
In the Western Continent where no one pays attention.
The clouds are gathering.
Hong Chao rode a limping poor horse, raised his head and glanced at the sky, frowned and said:
"The road of Western Earth and Water is broken, the aura of water is very little, and countless people have died in the drought, but you are using it to show off, you really deserve to be damned."
