At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the ghost kingdom from the north was granted the title of earl by King Shang and held the power of "priest".
Pastor, guardian; teacher, army. That is to say, they are in charge of the power of local conquest.
The North has been initially decided, and the next step is to conquer the South.
In the sky of Chaoge, nine divine dragons pulled a bronze car as huge as a palace. The car was decorated with gorgeous textures using gold, gems, and silver threads. A fluttering black bird white flag was inserted on the side of the palace.
Heavy crystal curtains blocked the scene inside. This was the dragon chariot owned by King Xian of Shang. Sitting inside was the King of Shang, who was naturally like the sun.
The Three Gongs and Nine Qings stood in front of the chariot and read out "The Kingdom of Unsubordinates".
Shu and Dongyi are both included in this list.
There are also countries like Jing State that attack other small countries for no reason to annex and expand. These are not allowed by Dayi merchants.
Pastor Fang Bo who was not canonized by the king did not have the right to conquer; even if there were sufficient reasons, it was a taboo.
Soon, a mighty army was dispatched.
The princes join the army, strangers, barbarians, wizards, gods, and ghosts and gods sent by the gods of the past.
It is not a big problem if the princes are disobedient.
If they don't obey, they will conquer them, take the opportunity to weaken their power, and force them to hand over their resources.
On the contrary, I am afraid that they will be too obedient, surrender openly, and secretly develop the country, leaving me with no excuse to intervene. It is not good to directly send troops to attack this kind of situation, otherwise the countries will be shocked and may secretly unite.
The rules are set by the king. If the king breaks them first, what excuse will he have to attack others in the future?
…
One month later.
The news spread to various countries and immediately caused shock in all countries.
The same was true for Jing State. Some people suggested surrendering and going to Chaoge in person to admit their mistakes. Of course, this decision was rejected.
Now that Yuren is in power, the monarch is just a decoration, and the real person who talks about the situation is Jiang Feng, the three-eyed Yuren.
Jingdu.
There is a peak reaching the sky on the mountain behind the capital, and on top of the peak is an extremely gorgeous bronze palace.
A pure white three-eyed feathered man sat quietly in the palace, breathing blue clouds to practice.
There are many Yumen subordinates around him. This three-eyed man is named Jiang Feng, the man behind the scenes of Jing Kingdom. The path of living cultivation is divided into: taking bait, eating Qi, refining Qi, eating Xia, traveling and so on.
This person is an expert in Dinxia Realm.
Eat the wind and drink the dew, and the gods will travel.
"The White Emperor has an order, the Shu Kingdom will send troops, fight! Fight directly! Send the order, all clans will send troops together, and allow them to freely conquer and expand, so as to weaken the power of Dayi merchants to the maximum extent."
The dream of every generation of Shu kings is to leave Shu, so they continue to send people out to infiltrate, support their own forces, and help them ascend to high positions.
This behavior has been going on for thousands of years, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards.
For a time, the entire Jianghan was mobilized.
The barbarians found that they were less suppressed and began to make moves.
Changyi City, this city is located in the mountains, dominated by the snake tribe, and the feudal lord is Chang Hao.
There is a manor in the mountains behind the city.
Tang Ping and Chang Hao sat across from each other and had a drink. There were servants with snake tails beside them, and they drank sweet wine from time to time.
The peach blossoms are extremely charming. If you look carefully, you can see that there are spirits taking care of them in the forest. The spirits are wearing colorful clothes and are about the size of a palm. They look at everyone quietly.
"Senior Yuding, did you know that there is going to be a war recently?" Chang Hao suddenly spoke.
"I've heard a little bit about this."
Tang Ping also learned the news that the King of Shang ordered the world to attack the Southern Barbarian countries, and the Jing Kingdom was among them.
This news is undoubtedly beneficial to Chu State. In this way, Jing State cannot affect Chu State.
Of course, there are also some hidden dangers in Chu State. For example, various barbarians are ready to move. The barbarians in Jing State, the Ba people in the southwest, and even the Baiyue in the southeast are a little restless.
In the past, the great powers suppressed them, so they did not dare to take the lead, so they had to quietly expand, and did not dare to annex them wholesale. The Chu State would spit out the cities it occupied.
Times are different now.
"What do you say from Wuxia Country?"
"My father also wants to take advantage of the chaos to expand and attack the rear of Shu." Chang Hao was a little worried. A bastard like him is undoubtedly the key cannon fodder, and he is usually at the front. "My brother Ren Jia is coming, and he may be attacked this time. Send troops to this area."
Chang Hao has no feelings for the family, and can even be said to be resentful, so it doesn't matter if he spreads some news about Wuxia.
Every time there is a war, he must be the unlucky one. He has gone through life and death to have such a dilapidated city, and his brother takes most of the credit.
Tang Ping laughed and said with a smile: "As a medicine seller, what else can I do? I don't want to offend anyone. No matter which force it is, as long as I take money to buy things, I am a customer. Don't you think so?"
"That's natural."
"Fellow Taoist Chang Hao, we have been friends for many years. During the war, we will give you priority in supplying elixirs at a 20% discount without any increase in price."
"Thank you!" Chang Hao suddenly remembered something, and the servant on the other side quickly presented the tray, which was covered with cloth, "Senior, please open it."
Tang Ping opened the veil and saw a piece of leather paper with dense oracle bone inscriptions written on it.
"This is?"
"Yu Ren's weapon-controlling method, Yu Ren uses bronze vessels as his inheritance, and the techniques are hidden in the bronze vessels. Using this method can awaken the bronze instruments and receive the inheritance inside."
"That's it. Thank you. How much does it cost?"
Last time, Tang Ping asked Chang Hao, Nan Lumeng and others to look for clues to the Yuren technique, but he didn't expect that he would actually find it.
"It doesn't cost anything. It's not worth much. Just treat it as a gift to my senior. As for the earth-attribute magic weapon, I'm still looking for it. If there are any clues, I'll inform my senior."
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
Tang Ping took the things and summoned the tiger cart to return to Qunyu Mountain. He told Xiong Ba the news along the way and asked him to make more preparations.
In Qunyu Mountain, there are lush plum trees, and there is an open space of one acre in the middle of the forest.
Not far away is the wooden house of the forest god Zhang Mei, and bursts of smoke can be heard from the wooden house.
This is Zhang Mei refining alchemy. Tang Ping never skimps on the skills. Every time he understands a more advanced skill, he will delegate the original skill.
Just as he was thinking about it, a young man came up from the bottom of the mountain carrying a barrel that was bigger than his body, came to the open space, scooped up water and sprinkled it.
This is where the Fenglingxian apricots are planted. The fruits have not grown yet, but with the forest god taking care of them day and night, they should soon grow fruits.
Tang Ping returned to the cave.
He took out the bronze mask. It was primitive and even had patina on it. It looked worthless.
Put on the mask, take out the yellow paper, and whisper the incantation on it.
Buzz buzz...
A buzzing sound came from inside the mask, which flashed red.
Wow!
The mask turns into a flame mask, and the flames appear in five colors, as if they contain metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
At the same time, a skill appeared in his mind.
"True Fire Incorruptible Bronze Body": Using the body as a weapon, forged with five-color fire, the body is like bronze immortal gold, invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to water and fire, and indestructible to death.
This technique begins by burning the physical body with ordinary flames, and then uses five-color flames.
But the body itself is afraid of fire. If it continues to burn, it will only make the body worse and worse.
Therefore, this is an extremely consuming method of elixirs.
Accompanying the exercise is a prescription called Zhu Guo Lead Mercury elixir, which is an elixir that replenishes qi, blood, and grows muscles and bones.
"Good skills, but can ghosts also practice?" Tang Ping was a little curious.
This is obviously a body-training technique. Ghosts are just souls and have no energy and blood at all. Can this be practiced?
Give it a try first, or modify it.
The next day, Tang Ping went out and called Du Yu.
"Are you still tired?" Tang Ping looked at the boy who had turned a little darker.
"I was tired at first, but now I'm used to it." Du Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little more calm.
"Okay, let's give you another difficult task."
Tang Ping walked to the back of the wooden house. At the foot of the mountain was a hundred-foot-high stone mountain with rugged rocks. The main mountain was also a stone deeply embedded in the ground.
"You tore down this mountain."
"Ah? How long will this take?" Du Yu couldn't understand. If it continued like this, would he still have a chance to take revenge?
"Ten years, twenty years, fifty years or even a hundred years, it depends on whether you are diligent. If you don't want to, you can always go down the mountain."
Du Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll try."
"This is an indestructible bronze body. If you want to move mountains faster, it depends on your talent."
Tang Ping took out the copied exercises.
"Thank you Master for teaching me the Dharma!"
Du Yu bowed down.
