The Royal Court of the Shang Dynasty.
The palace is extremely gorgeous, with touches of gold and dragons, and is resplendent.
Pure white jade paved the floor, and ninety-nine and eighty-one golden woods supported the high dome.
On the top beam is a golden phoenix perched with a two-headed Kui dragon.
The double-headed Kui dragon is a mythical beast that has protected the family name for generations. The mission of this clan is to protect the royal family. The important ritual vessels of the Shang Kingdom basically have the pattern of the double-headed Kui dragon.
There are murals on the walls, depicting lifelike gods.
God has no form, just a light.
There are six emperors of the Shang Dynasty beside God, followed by ministers such as Di Feng, Di Yun, Di Jiang, Di Huo, Di Lei, etc. Some have human images, and some are abstract natural images of wind, fire, thunder and lightning.
Under the mural is Emperor Xin dressed up.
Di Xin's whole body seemed to be in shadow, and the light of the hall could not shine on him.
Under the throne, there were two rows of subjects.
The first civil servant is Shang Rong.
This is an old man with red hair and horns.
Shang Rong has the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze, and is born with divine wisdom. He is the Tuogu minister of Emperor Yi.
This is the head of civil servants.
Next to him is an old man with three eyes.
This person's name was Ziqian, and he was granted the title of Biyi, also known as Bigan.
There are three eyes between Bigan's eyebrows, which can clearly detect every detail; there are seven orifices in the heart, which can distinguish between loyal and traitors.
Bigan was the late emperor's minister of Tuogu, the head of the clan, and the controller of the Shang army.
Di Xin looked at the two of them with some fear in his eyes.
When he first came to power, he continued to weaken the power of his old ministers, but these two people in front of him were the biggest obstacles to his complete control of the court.
If he kills these two people, his control over the court will reach an unprecedented level, and even his father will not be able to compare with him.
Of course, Di Xin knew the pros and cons, and killing someone was the last resort. Although the other party was disgusting, these people were loyal ministers and would be useful if there was an opportunity in the future. If they died, they would really die.
"Your Majesty, Dongyi has not been calmed down yet, and there is trouble in the west. If Ji Kao had not been killed, this situation would not have happened now. Why don't your Majesty send someone to Xiqi to make peace. After we calm down Dongyi, we can Break through the Zhou Dynasty with great victory."
Bigan admonished.
Bigan looks like a civil servant, but his cultivation level is not low. He is currently leading the princes of fifty countries to fight against Bogu, Laiyi and Daoyi of Dongyi.
Both sides have invested more than three million troops, and there are fighting monks in the sky, on the ground, and on all sides.
At present, Shang State has allowed Su State, Gui State, and Bo State to seek refuge, and it also has a precious outlet to the sea.
Now only places like Bogu and Lai are left, and further south there is Wuyue.
Of course, the South doesn't matter.
As long as the Haidai tribe in the north is pacified, Wu Yue in the south will be able to capture them.
"Can't we fight on both sides?" Di Xin said dissatisfied.
He was very tired of Bigan's preaching tone.
"Impossible, there is no one available now, and we can't support it. If we want to make peace, we have to make peace with Xirong, and it is absolutely impossible with Dongyi." Bigan flatly refused, and then talked about ancient things, "Starting from the late Emperor Wu Ding, Until the generation of the king. A total of one hundred and sixty-eight Fang Kingdoms were conquered..."
Some of these kingdoms were annexed, some perished, and some were entrusted to meritorious officials.
Once the great merchants relax even a little bit, these people will immediately come back and take away the fruits of their victory.
After generations of hard work, now is the best time.
If you give up now, your efforts over the past several thousand years will be in vain.
"How about transferring the soldiers guarding the north?" Di Xin thought, respecting Bigan's idea.
"The Beidi ghost camp has not moved for many years. It is in a period of tribal fighting. With the intervention of our border troops, no co-owner has yet been born. If we relax a little bit about Beidi, sooner or later it will become a serious problem."
Bigan retorted again.
He still had the same idea, to negotiate peace with Xiqi first and wait for a while.
"Young master, what you said is wrong. The king is the common master of the world, and Ji Kao is just a rebel. What are your intentions in asking the king to bow his head?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a sinister appearance said.
This person is Fei Zhong, the most popular person under Di Xin, who jumped from viscount to marquis.
"Oh, does Fei Hou have other opinions?" Bigan's eyebrows and eyes were faintly shining.
Fei Zhong fell silent for a moment and did not dare to refute again.
His arrogance came from Emperor Xin, but the three-eyed man in front of him was not afraid of Emperor Xin. He was an important minister of the two dynasties. Even if he was beaten in court, no one would speak for him.
Thinking of this, Fei Zhong still chose to give in and ignore the king's wink at him.
Emperor Xin had no choice but to change the subject and said, "If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them."
Bigan has high prestige, and Shang Rong is also his good friend. In addition, what Bigan said is beneficial to the country and them.
It's not like their families didn't send troops during these years of war.
On the contrary, many families were seriously injured due to excessive losses of troops. Di Xin, a white-eyed wolf, was not only inconsiderate, but also allowed treacherous ministers to frame them and seize their family's inheritance.
After doing this again and again, everyone has long been afraid and how dare they continue to bet with this guy.
At this time, Marquis Shen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Bo has been pacified, and the remaining remnants are no more than minor troubles. There is no need for the generals to stay here to guard. Since the king is short of men, I have several candidates to recommend to the ministers."
"A man named Li Jing, a native of Mianchi, entered the mountain to practice Taoism two hundred years ago. He completed the practice in one hundred and sixty-eight years. He descended to earth to slay dragons and protect the peace of the place. This man has a sword and a tower. His cultivation in the later period of Dianxia is comparable to that of Yuyou . His son is talented and intelligent, and he is also a half-step diner."
"There is also a person named Wei Tuo who accidentally entered Yunmeng Lake when he was young. He accidentally ate the wind and thunder fruit. He was born with dragon horns. He was extremely powerful and invulnerable to weapons and weapons. He was also a late-stage cultivation of Xianxia."
Marquis Shen recommended three people. Too many people seemed too hasty.
And the recommended people are enough to gain a foothold in the middle and upper classes of the Shang Kingdom and become a strong general in one party.
"Oh? Can you contact them?" Di Xin had a great impression of Marquis Shen.
There are not many such loyal ministers left.
As for the recommended candidate, Di Xin was not surprised, even if he didn't know him.
There are too many strong people living in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers in this world.
There are often lucky people who accidentally receive the inheritance from ancient gods.
"I can introduce them, but whether they can impress them or not depends on the sincerity of the king." Shen Hou said.
Di Xin looked at Bigan and said, "Young Master, if there are generals who can replace the frontier generals, it shouldn't be a problem to send people to the Western Front alone, right?"
"Wei Chen has no objection."
Now that things have come to this, Bigan has no choice but to obey.
The next day, Bigan led his men to Dongyi, which may last several years.
Emperor Xin sent people to investigate the origins of those people recommended by Marquis Shen.
Combined with local legends, the discovery is almost the same.
The legend of Veda began two hundred years ago, and the locals called it the Tuo God, a god of infinite power.
Although the appearance is not exactly the same as the legend, after all, it is a rumor passed down by people from the countryside, and it is normal for it to deviate from the legend.
Not only mortals in remote areas also say that they have the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger.
Li Jing's situation is also very different.
After confirming that there was no problem with the other party, Di Xin decided to conquer immediately.
Li Jing and his son were awarded the title of guard general of Chentang Pass and were given the post of Asia Brigade.
Wei Tuo guarded the northern suburbs and assigned Ya brigade to guard against nomads in the north.
The place sealed by the two is relatively remote and will not affect the overall situation.
Even the strongest Li Jing was banished to the seaside. Obviously Di Xin did not trust them easily.
This intention is also for testing.
Several of them received large rewards, and Marquis Shen was favored by Emperor Xin and returned to his status as a celebrity before Emperor Xin.
Li Yuan and Wei Hu didn't do much. They only practiced every day.
At this time, it is not good to be too eager to show off or hide your own strength.
Just live a normal life.
As they guessed, the ghosts and gods sent by Emperor Xin, local magistrates, or soldiers in the army all had spies to monitor the father and son's every move.
No matter what they do, they will be reported to Di Xin.
The two of them knew it in their hearts, so they quietly waited for the opportunity.
Wushan.
In the tiankeng, under ten turtles, Tang Ping had just made a batch of fresh elixirs.
Tang Ping gently twisted the pill, and his face shone brightly.
A brief compilation (1/30000) of the Longhu Yuye Dan Sutra has been completed.
"The Waidan Sutra has achieved a small breakthrough, and finally has a 30% success rate."
Tang Ping thought.
The six Danjing wells have been almost drained by themselves. Fortunately, recovery is not impossible. As time goes by, the concentration of well water will slowly increase.
Now we can only seal it and set up a formation around it to speed up the recovery of the well water.
One day in the future, wait until the well water returns to normal before using it.
As for other materials, they can only be refined manually.
Fortunately, with the original Danjing people, many new people have been recruited in recent years, so there is no need to worry about refining materials.
"In another hundred years, a hundred years or so, or even earlier, we will be able to break through to the mid-term."
The middle stage of Yin Shen, then the later stage, and then the breakthrough to Guixian.
Ghost immortals and human immortals are the top masters in the world.
It’s not in vain to hide it for thousands of years.
Of course, it would be impossible for Tang Ping to dominate the world as soon as he broke through.
Although human immortals are top experts, how many human immortals are there in this world? There have been many immortals since ancient times, but what about them?
The power is only temporary, and the human immortals have not yet formed a crushing force. Otherwise, the merchants from Dayi would have dominated the world long ago.
As the laws of heaven and earth gradually improve.
The ancient gods of the past either took their true form or were reincarnated.
The mixed situation of humans and gods will eventually disappear, and will be replaced by the divine court, an orderly divine court.
It is foreseeable that the war may become more tragic by then.
Tang Ping closed his eyes, his senses informed the ground, and his spiritual thoughts unfolded.
The world is vast, dark and boundless.
There are several golden spots in the sea of consciousness.
This is the land of the gods.
"The territory currently has a diameter of 500 kilometers, approximately 200,000 square kilometers, and has countless rivers. With this as the core, we can completely control a million square kilometers of land, and then it will be almost a ghost."
Of course, after becoming a ghost fairy, Tang Ping didn't want to be a coward.
Human immortals are the standard configuration of ancient gods.
Tang Ping may consider truly establishing the southern underworld god system.
This stage is just a barbaric growth stage. Like the branches and buds that are in urgent need of germination, they only need to quietly absorb nutrients.
This stage is not suitable for making any fanfare.
Everything had to be done in secret.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Ping walked out of the sinkhole.
Just because I heard the noise coming from the outside world.
There were many more people at the foot of the mountain, including a group of witches riding crabs, red-haired and green-skinned tree people, and fish-people with fish heads and human bodies.
The two goddesses of Xiangshui are suspended in the void and are recruiting troops.
Not far away there are dragons, monsters, ghosts and gods.
"What are you doing?" Tang Ping flew up and asked curiously.
"Get ready to go into the mountains to search for Chonghou." Zhuguang said.
"Chonghou came here?" Tang Ping asked in surprise.
Is there such a thing?
"There is information like this..."
A few days ago, the Zhou army defeated Chongguo.
Chonghou was injured by Ji Fa and fled overnight. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted and killed on the way. It is said that the last place where his aura appeared was at the edge of Yunmengze.
Yunmeng is very large, with mountains, dense water systems, and endless lakes.
The place where Wushan is now is only a not-so-core area in the south of Yunmeng.
It can't be reached any further.
"Are you going deep into Yunmeng?"
"Yes, I'm going to find the whereabouts of my father and mother." Xiaoxing's eyes were filled with determination.
This matter has been delayed for too long.
They want to complete their mission all the time.
"Okay, I'll go with you, and call Zi Wei by the way."
Tang Ping thought for a while and decided to go in and take a look himself.
Wushan's territory hasn't spread to that place yet, but it might as well go and have a look.
"good."
"By the way, don't call me God Lord, call me...Yun Zhongzi."
Tang Ping's bad taste came again.
Speaking of Yun Mengze, I thought of Yun Zhongjun again.
I am practicing in Wushan, and the place where I practice is covered with dense clouds. What is it if it is not a cloud neutron?
"Yes, Yun Neutron."
Soon, Ziwei flew from Qunyu Mountain.
"Let's go to Yunmengze."
Soon, the point will be completed.
A group of people took a boat and went down the river.
The end of the big stream is a larger river, and the end of the river is Yunmeng Lake.
In a place like this where you don't know the depth, it's better to be careful. Flying in the sky is too much to spread rumors.
The boat goes down the river.
We passed through various dangers and twists and turns along the way.
Sometimes there are pythons coming out of the water, and huge birds flying hundreds of miles in the sky.
"What an ancient atmosphere."
Standing on the bow of the boat, Tang Ping looked at the giant tree with ten people hugging each other on both sides of the river and said.
There seem to be many plant elves and unknown... savages in the forest?
The savage held a spear and kowtowed to the people on the shore.
"Let him come up."
Tang Ping ordered.
Someone flew over with a savage, and everyone noticed that it was an ape.
He was of normal human body size, with black hair all over his body and less facial hair, and he was mumbling incomprehensible words.
"God... Yun Zhongzi, this is the ancient Jianghan dialect."
A golden light condensed on Xiaoming's fingertips.
Tang Ping stretched out his hand, golden light melted into his skin, and he instantly learned the ancient Jianghan language.
"what's your name?"
"Return to the gods, my name is Orangutan."
Tang Ping asked about it and found out that this was indeed an ape that learned language by accidentally eating wild fruits.
"I think you are quite smart. Be our guide. You will have many benefits."
"Thank you God!"
The ape knelt down and kowtowed.
The ship set off again. After an unknown number of miles, a green mountain in the shape of a crouching tiger appeared in front of it on the left.
The mountains are full of osmanthus trees, and the fragrance is fragrant.
"This is Zhaoyao Mountain. There is green grass on the mountain. If you eat one grass, you will not be hungry for ten days."
Relevant personnel are noted on the map.
Everyone moved on.
There is another mountain.
There are apple-like fruit trees growing on the mountain, and many white apes live here.
"Tangting Mountain, where the White Ape King is..." The ape shivered and suddenly became confused, "Hey, why is the White Ape King not here?"
boom!
The sound of fighting came from ahead.
Tang Ping flew high into the sky and looked over from a distance. He saw a group of white apes fighting against the human army, looking at the flag...
"Zhou Jun?"
…
