Tang Ping stayed at Tianwen Palace in Danyang.
The mountain behind Tianwen Palace is a plum forest. The plum trees are open all year round, with gurgling water and petals falling on the water and flowing down with the water.
Four people were wandering around in the forest, an old man with white beard and white hair, this was Yuan Chi, the king in python robe Xiong Yang, and the noble prince in purple robe with elegant and melancholy temperament. In front of everyone was naturally the god Tang Ping.
"It's a pity that Marshal Tianpeng cannot stay here forever, otherwise our great Chu could dominate the world." Yuan Chi sighed with a rather regretful expression.
"Don't be impatient. You have to keep up with the level of strength. Once the level is reached, hegemony will naturally be achieved." Tang Ping said, turning to look at Xiong Yang, "What is the attitude of the countries recently?"
"There is no movement from the big forces, but many tribes and small countries are requesting submission."
"That's okay. It's better to have more allies than one more enemy. If you are willing to accept our transformation, there is no harm in accepting them."
The expansion of the country cannot simply rely on conquering cities and territories. The territory is too large and it is impossible to control every inch.
The Shang Kingdom was also impossible. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shang Kingdom had been fighting for many years. In the 40,000 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shang Kingdom had made numerous conquests in all directions, but they still did not kill them all.
If a small tribe finds a suitable place and develops steadily for decades, it is enough to form a small force.
Like cockroaches and mice in a house, they can always be cleared out every once in a while.
But it can't be cleared forever.
We can only do it step by step.
Tang Ping thought for a while and said again: "You don't want others to agree immediately as soon as they surrender. The prerequisite must be that they accept Chu's culture and use Chu's writing. Without this condition, it is absolutely impossible to join."
This is the path Xiqi took. Although they did not have deep control over the allies, in terms of culture, they almost required the princes to copy them entirely.
The princes have no objections to this, they just want to learn writing and culture.
In fact, they have no idea how terrible this cultural conquest is.
Future generations are bathed in the culture of the Zhou state, and are naturally close to the Zhou state, believing that the Zhou state is orthodox.
This is more effective than simply conquering by force.
Conquest by force will only accumulate hatred. For example, today's Shang Dynasty may not be revenge for the Shang Dynasty's previous cruelty and cruelty.
"Disciple, please keep this in mind." Xiong Yang thought of something and said with a smile, "Lord God, do you know how the world calls us?"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Wu Chu. Close to witches and ghosts, good at witchcraft, the land of Jingchu."
"Interesting." Tang Ping was a little proud of himself. This kind of title is not given casually. Self-proclaimed titles cannot be counted. They must be recognized by the surrounding forces.
In the past, there were only two recognized titles, one was Bangzhou and the other was Tianyi Shang.
Now there is another Chu country, which is clearly a recognition of his own strength.
"You clear the battlefield first, and when everyone is gathered, I will arrange some things."
As everyone walked, Tang Ping told everyone the details.
The war is over, there are too many things that need to be dealt with.
Encirclement and suppression of bandits, pensions for soldiers, reconstruction of some cities, and conditioning of Shinto earth energy. Ever since Tang Ping used the Canopy Curse, the previous smoky atmosphere has returned.
Although a battle has just been fought, it does not mean that it is safe. There may be other forces spying secretly.
A mound appeared in front of it. The mound was twenty feet high and surrounded by walls. In front of the mound stood an unmarked monument. Taotie, a dragon, a tomb beast and other strange beasts were arranged in a trigram pattern.
"This is this?" Tang Ping looked at Yuan Chi and asked in confusion.
"This is the tomb of Patriarch Zhang Mei. This plum forest was also planted by Patriarch Zhang Mei during his lifetime. At that time, the hilltop was still bare, but now it has lush branches and green trees."
Yuan Chi's tone was a little sentimental.
The old friends left one by one, and I have reached my twilight years.
Tang Ping's memory seemed to go back a thousand years ago to the woman who watched plum blossoms all day long on Qunyu Mountain. It was through this observation that she realized the Qimen Dunjia, which was different from Xiqi's innate gossip.
Unexpectedly, my old friend had already left.
He looked at the construction site next to him and wondered, "What is this?"
"To be honest, this is my disciple's tomb." Yuan Chi said with a smile, "It's probably less than a hundred years old."
Tang Ping said nothing. When it comes to matters of life and death, he always feels a little disappointed and sentimental.
"We must get the elixir of reincarnation."
Tang Ping thought.
Establishing a complete reincarnation system in the underworld will take the control of the underworld to a higher level.
Even after the disciple dies, he can be reincarnated.
Whether he survives or not is another matter.
Zi Wei listened quietly to everyone talking and did not make any comments herself.
"Zi Wei, why don't we use our true colors in this battle?" Tang Ping suddenly asked him.
Jiang Shang looked down on Ji Kao, and Ji Fa married Ji Kao's fiancée.
No one in Xiqi paid much attention to Ji Kao. If Zi Wei appeared in this world, their expressions would be very exciting.
Zi Wei shook her head and refused: "No, I don't have this strength yet. One day in the future, after I adjust, let them see me today."
Zi Wei is very confident.
He has broken through to the point of traveling, and the next step is to be like the immortals.
The day when you become an immortal is the time when everyone in Xiqi will have their eyes opened.
"I plan to move the candle-bearing snake to Jingdu, so that Jingdu will be guarded by immortals. If there is anything important, please inform me directly to resurrect the candle-bearing snake."
"yes!"
Something to do next.
Tang Ping visited many places to observe the customs and local cultivation resources.
Chaoge.
Emperor Xin returned to Chaoge after being escorted by the merchant army from Xu State.
On top of the Black Bird Chariot, Di Xin looked frighteningly pale and had lost a lot of weight.
"Three hundred years of life. This battle has cost me three hundred years of life." Di Xin looked gloomy. Coupled with the previous battles, Di Xin now only has a life span of two to three hundred years.
Even if he unified the world, he would still be a short-lived emperor.
Unless you truly break through to the realm of Earthly Immortality.
Thinking of this, Di Xin felt a little regretful. He had known better that he would not have learned the Demon Lord's magic method.
The practice of Heavenly Demon Dafa is fast, but it has many disadvantages. If you practice too much, the demonic energy will become trapped in the body. With more and more impurities, the risk of going crazy will increase.
It is no longer possible to switch to other exercises next, and I can only go all the way to the end.
The higher the realm, the higher the quality of the soul required.
"Forget it, if I didn't have this method at the beginning, I wouldn't have the strength I have now. The princes are so powerful that they will be eroded step by step. It's better to fight to the death."
Di Xin's eyes flickered, as if he had seen the huge figure from the past few days again. He gritted his teeth and said: "Underground Master of the Chu Kingdom, I will wait for you. One day, I will definitely destroy your country."
After returning, Di Xin planned to further borrow troops from the northern demons.
As for the mortals of his country, he has completely given up on them.
The human race's success rate is low and takes a long time. The only advantage is the large number.
Demons are much easier to use. Of course, the main reason is that Di Xin feels that he has almost wiped out everything on the human race. Although the demons in the north are scattered, each tribe has a profound background. The next step is to trick them.
For example, Qingqiu fox.
"My dear concubine, I plan to visit the vassal states of the Dynasty and Shang Dynasty. Let's start with the Su Kingdom. I want to see the holy land of the Xia Dynasty's auspicious nine-tailed fox clan."
Daji agreed without any doubt.
The two have known each other for many years, and it was indeed for profit at the beginning. After sharing the joys and sorrows over the years, the two have developed a deep relationship.
With the most malicious suspicion, Daji just thought that Di Xin wanted to persuade more demons to join the Shang camp.
On the Shang side, Emperor Xin was building a new dynasty-shang system, focusing on the north and the Central Plains, with humans and demons cooperating.
This is the court of Yin and Shang.
In the Huai River Basin, there are many countries.
Xucheng, the capital of Xu State.
Behind the city there is a temple as tall as a mountain.
In the temple, there is a head with a bronze head, an iron forehead and sword temples. The head has its eyes closed tightly and is filled with evil energy.
Jiuli people with strange looks gathered in the main hall.
The main hall was gloomy, green mist filled the entire hall, and there were many figures, like ghosts and human beings.
Under the head stood a man in red robes wearing an indigo ghost mask. Four heads and eight arms.
This is King Xu Yingyan, one of the great enemies of the Shang Kingdom.
"Everyone must be aware of the affairs of the Chu State. The Chu State is emerging, and the Yin Shang Dynasty has reached its twilight years. This king plans to unite all the Huai forces and build a powerful army to compete in the world in the future."
Ying Yan looked at the people in Jiuli below.
Most of these people are the princes of Huaihe and the descendants of Chi You. They are just a loose alliance. If it weren't for Chi You's head, I'm afraid they wouldn't even listen to themselves. They need to use force to make them surrender. Xu Guo can't afford it. It is better to form a peaceful alliance.
After hearing these words, Zhu Huai said reluctantly: "I will obey the king's order."
"Okay, let's sue Chi You, the commander of the army."
Ying Yan personally performed the sacrifice, and his men carried out 300 slaves and killed them one by one in front of the stage. The blood from their hearts dripped into the large wine jar, and their heads were offered to the gods. Silks of moxa smoke mixed with the flesh and blood essence of the sacrifices ascended to heaven.
At this time, everyone noticed that Chi You's eyelids moved, and then the magic eye slowly opened.
"The soldier master is awake!! The soldier master is awake!!"
"The spirit revives!"
When everyone saw this, they were not afraid, but excited. Chi You was their eternal belief and invincible belief.
Only the god Chi You can lead them to conquer the world.
Even if Chi You was defeated miserably at the hands of Huang Di, they only thought it was due to luck. If they were given another chance, they would definitely win.
boom!
The demonic energy erupted in the temple, and the momentum was rising steadily. The demonic charm was overwhelming, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.
This is no ordinary fluctuation. Chi You, who has been immersed in it for who knows how long, is finally about to wake up.
"not good!"
Ying Yan's hair stood on end. Chi You was not happy at all when he revived, which meant that he was about to become a puppet.
He made up his mind to interrupt Chi You's recovery before he recovered, otherwise his power would be gone.
Nothing is left.
"What kind of evildoer dares to steal the body of a god! Die to me!!"
Ying Yan's four heads spit out the four energies of earth, water, fire and wind.
The flame turned into a fire dragon, and the heat caused the temperature of the entire hall to rise. The fire dragon roared towards Ying Yan.
The earth turned into an earth snake, the water turned into a water dragon, and the wind turned into a woman with the head of a human and the body of wind.
The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind used all the power of Ying Yan.
It was impossible to destroy Chi You's head. Even the Yellow Emperor had no choice but to interrupt Chi You's recovery by means. If there were signs of recovery in the future, the recovery could be interrupted one at a time.
"Don't even think about it, thief!!"
Three Jiuli people stood in front of the spell.
boom!
The spell bombarded them. How could they resist the power of the human immortal? The energy of the spell instantly evaporated them.
After such a short delay, Chi You had fully recovered.
Chi You had just woken up, but he looked unsurprised and said with a smile: "Haha, little Ying Yan, thank you."
Chi You's voice was harsh, like gold and iron clashing. Just listening to the sound made him feel like thousands of troops were charging toward him.
What frightened Ying Yan was that many people in the princes said the same thing as Chi You in unison.
"Yes, it is the emperor's distraction."
"This..." Ying Yan's heart was filled with despair, and he had no idea of resistance in an instant. He didn't expect that from beginning to end, he was being played around without even realizing it.
Wow!
Black energy poured into Ying Yan's body.
At this moment, Chi You revived.
Once Chi You regained consciousness, he represented the unification of Huai and Yi.
This is the court of the Lord of War.
Off the East China Sea, there is a huge island, facing the mainland of China.
This is where Penglai Island is located, where overseas monks and top sect Penglai Island live.
Penglai Feixian returns to the cloud carriage, thousands of miles of clear sea is the way back.
On this day, Penglai Immortal came out of the mountain, and two Haoshou Immortals flew to Laiguo and Bogu in China.
The next day, the news came.
The divine power left behind by the two masters of Heaven and Earth was acquired by the two immortals from Penglai, and the two immortals were renamed the Two Masters of Heaven and Earth.
Penglai Xiandao annexed Bogu and Lai Kingdom, and its power set foot on the land of China.
This is the court of heaven and earth.
The chase begins.
Friend or foe is temporarily uncertain.
Xiqi did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack Shang as imagined by the Chu kings and ministers. They just harassed them for a while and then stopped.
According to the news from Du Yu, Ji Fa went to the legendary Western Kingdom of Kunlun.
Probably for practice.
When I come back this time, there is a high probability that my magical skills will be accomplished, and I don’t know how far my cultivation will be pushed.
On the Chu State side, all the ministers gathered at the foot of Qunyu Mountain.
Except for those in Shu and Zhou.
The underworld is led by Zhang Wulang, the clan ghosts and gods are Xiong Ying, the head of the city god is the previous generation Meishan leader Xian, the head of the water god is the Hanjiang Xiaobailong, and the head of the mountain gods is the jade mountain god Ziwei.
There are also gods from various places, including Wu Ji, the god of Xiaoxiang Kingdom, Chou, the goddess of Wu Kingdom, the goddess of Xiangshui River, Yao Ji, the god of clouds...
There are a total of 8,000 gods, large and small, in the land of more than 300,000 square kilometers.
There are too many of them, and some of them are not included in the list.
Eight thousand gods came to the group of jade.
The gods are majestic, in the sky and on the earth, there are divine dragons and colorful phoenixes, and strange people and true practitioners.
Such a grand scene, since Tang Ping founded Shinto, I have never seen such neat people.
King Xiong Yang of Chu was also among them.
In Shinto, Xiong Yang is only one of the first row.
"Meet the underground master!"
The gods saluted.
"Today I am calling you all to announce to you that from now on our Shinto no longer needs to be secretive and will officially declare our nature and existence to the world."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar and whispered among themselves.
Tang Ping waited for everyone to digest the news.
Once this news is announced to the world, won't it make people jealous if the world knows that there are gods who live in this group of territories?
You can seal a ghost casually, and this ghost will control the wind and rain in the territory. It will be strange if it is not squeezed out by jealousy.
When Tang Ping raised his hand, everyone fell silent.
"Today, I will once again establish a system and divide the order of the three realms."
