"Don't worry, sir. I promise to complete the task!"
On the top of the red cliff, Wu Zhiji waved his hand and sent Qingshan away .
Then, the burly body turned around and looked at the Nine-Aperture Immortal Stone that was swallowing up clouds and mist, and Wu Zhiji fell into deep thought.
Because Mingyu left him a mission, not too small or too small—to show him a clear path after Wukong left school…
…
As Mingyu left Huaguo Mountain, a golden light suddenly appeared.
roar!
A mythical beast the size of an orange cat howled, then transformed into its original form, its entire body covered in golden light, appearing quite majestic.
Mingyu looked over and said with a smile, "Tai Sui, how long have you been waiting?"
Woohoo~
(Not long ago, I just arrived.)
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast waited for Mingyu. It was very excited, barked happily twice, and rubbed its head against its owner's palm.
Then he skillfully carried Mingyu into the void.
Mingyu patted its head and instructed, "Let's go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea first."
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast flicked its tail, splitting the water and heading straight into the Dragon Palace.
Vast auspicious clouds spread out, and Dragon King Ao Guang came out to greet them.
"The king respectfully welcomes the Saint!"
Dragon King Ao Guang saluted solemnly.
Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There's no outsider here, why are you being so polite?"
Ao Guang heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled, "The more courtesy, the less blame."
After some pleasantries, Ao Guang welcomed Mingyu into the Crystal Palace.
As soon as he sat down, Mingyu took something out of his sleeve.
With his palm spread out, a magical treasure the size of an embroidery needle emitted infinite golden light, almost blinding Ao Guang's dragon eyes.
“A supreme spiritual treasure of merit!”
Ao Guang was overjoyed.
"Oh, the saint is here, why does he bring gifts?"
"How awkward!"
Ao Guang's eyes narrowed into slits, and his face was full of smiles like a blooming chrysanthemum.
He extended his hand without hesitation.
Mingyu smiled but said nothing.
He flipped his hand.
Suddenly~~
The Crystal Palace was filled with brilliant rays of light and auspicious air.
The magic treasure in Mingyu's hand suddenly became two meters long and as thick as a bowl. With a loud bang, it stood in the hall.
Ao Guang's hand froze in mid-air.
"So it's not for me?" He withdrew his hand angrily.
Mingyu nodded with a smile and said, "I'll temporarily keep this item in your Dragon Palace. When Wukong comes to ask for the weapon, I'll find a reason to give it to him."
"For Goku?"
Ao Guang's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
He looked at the glittering divine treasure held up by the auspicious clouds and agreed without hesitation.
"However, since this object is placed in the Dragon Palace..."
Ao Guang changed the subject, chuckled, rubbed his hands and asked, "I wonder if I can use it privately?"
"For personal use?" Mingyu frowned.
Ao Guang nodded and said, "The East China Sea has been unstable recently. I'm afraid it's been affected by the Guixu mirror image of the Supreme Primordial Desolation, and a new sea eye will be born."
"If this sea eye is born, there is no water god to suppress it now."
Ao Guang spread his hands helplessly: "It is said that Gong Gong did not come down."
Mingyu asked with a smile, "Didn't Lord Meng Zhang train a new Sea God?"
Ao Guang blinked twice and sighed, "Yang Jiao has just joined the resounding 'anti-heaven' movement. He needs to slow down and stay out of the spotlight before making any further plans."
"So, I plan to use this divine treasure as a suppression object and temporarily settle in the Haizang area of the East China Sea."
Mingyu looked at the Dragon King, whose eyes were filled with sincerity. He said noncommittally, "Just do whatever you want."
"That's great!" Ao Guang smiled.
With these words, this supreme spiritual treasure of merit was officially settled in the Dragon Palace.
With such meritorious things, the fortune of the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the Journey to the West universe must increase.
Before Wukong came to obtain the spiritual treasure, he must have trained one or two outstanding descendants!
Of course Mingyu knew what Ao Guang was thinking.
In fact, no matter how the dragon clan uses this magical treasure, it is harmless.
After all, placing this thing in the East China Sea in advance is a blessing.
By the way, some compensation in advance...
…
After Mingyu handed the Dinghai Shenzhen to Ao Guang, she left the East China Sea.
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast carried him to the capital of the Shang Dynasty - Chaoge.
At this time, Emperor Wu Ding of Shang was still in power.
But until now, he still hasn't awakened his true spirit.
When Mingyu arrived in Chaoge, every household was in mourning and sadness enveloped the city.
The reason for this incident was that Fu Hao passed away.
Yes, the human body of Youmeng, the emperor and empress of the Shang Dynasty, the god of war who pacified the four directions, has returned to the underworld.
Emperor Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty was very sad and held a grand funeral for her.
He buried Fu Hao next to the palace where he handled military and political affairs, so that he could see his wife at any time and protect her day and night.
Even so, Wu Ding still felt that his protective power was not enough to reach the underworld.
So he led his ministers to perform large-scale sacrifices for Fu Hao again and again, hoping to use the influence of the emperor to protect her.
However, this is not enough.
Wu Ding, who thought about Fu Hao day and night, came up with a bold idea - to arrange a ghost marriage for Fu Hao!
"Although I can't go to the underworld to protect my beloved wife now, the former emperors can!"
Having made up his mind, Wu Ding happily told his prime minister Fu Yue about his idea.
After hearing this "mind-opening" idea, Zhenwu, who was disguised as Fu Yue, was completely stunned.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?"
So Wu Ding patiently explained his plan in detail to his prime minister.
"I wish to assign the ghost of my beloved wife to the three former emperors, namely, the Great Emperor Zuyi, Taijia, and the ancestor of Cheng Tang!"
"This way, she will be able to get enough safety and care in the afterlife."
Such an explosive "ghost marriage plan" made Zhenwu's scalp tingle.
He stared at Wu Ding left and right with a strange look in his eyes.
After confirming that the true spirit of the Styx had not awakened, Zhenwu thought carefully and decisively agreed to this "brilliant" plan.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
This melon is destined to be eaten by the real person!
Anyway, he won’t be the one to be reckoned with in the future!
Every wrong has its perpetrator, so let the Styx suffer.
Besides, the starting point of this matter is good!
With this in mind, Fu Yue assisted Wu Ding and held three ghost marriages for the emperor and empress Fu Hao.
Her ghost was betrothed to three previous emperors in succession: Wu Ding's sixth-generation ancestor Zu Yi, eleventh-generation ancestor Tai Jia, and thirteenth-generation ancestor Cheng Tang.
After finally betrothing Fu Hao to Cheng Tang, Wu Ding finally felt relieved.
He believed that with three great emperors taking care of her, Fu Hao must be very happy in the underworld!
perhaps……
The gods of heaven and earth witnessed this touching and loyal love.
They were so moved that the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.
"I wonder if Styx will commit suicide by sword when he returns."
Pan Geng, one of the outstanding emperors of the Shang Dynasty, looked gloating.
Of course, he was also a little scared.
Fortunately, Wu Ding did not like his third-generation ancestor, so Pan Geng was extremely lucky to avoid the blame.
At this time, the people who received Wu Ding's prayers were all stunned.
underworld.
You Meng, who had just returned, had a dark face.
"Styx, just wait for me!"
In a rage, she fed a whole bucket of Meng Po soup to an unlucky guy.
The opponent's ghost was turned into a blank slate.
Seeing this scene, Hou Tu's mouth twitched, and she muttered silently: "Fellow Daoist Jiang Chen, this is really not my fault!"
Also being prayed for are Zuyi Dijiu, Taijia Jinpeng, and Chengtang Tianlu.
After a brief moment of confusion, they panicked.
"The Styx misled me!"
The three "lucky audience members" sighed to the sky.
Then.
Seek help decisively.
"uncle!"
"Emperor!"
“Master!”
“Save us!”
Looking at the panicked emperors of the Shang Dynasty, Mingyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He comforted them, "It's okay now, you can go back."
"This karma won't fall on you yet."
The three of them thought about it carefully.
That’s right.
Cheng Tang, Taijia and Zu Yi were implicated, what do Guan Tianlu, Jin Peng and Di Jiu have to do with it?
At worst, I can go back to the prehistoric world and stay there for a while!
With Mingyu's assurance, they left with peace of mind.
Come and go in a hurry.
Like the passing of time.
Mingyu stayed in Chaoge for a long time.
Before Zhenwu returned, he found him and made a request.
"Build a temple for the goddess?"
Zhenwu looked at Mingyu blankly.
At the beginning of the creation of the Journey to the West universe, the Queen Mother had already stated that it would not affect this world.
Why did you change your mind again?
Mingyu said, "It wasn't the Empress' idea. It's mainly because I need to stay in the human world for a while and have nowhere else to go. Please help me build a temple in Chaoge, and I'll settle down there and become a priest."
Mingyu's sudden impulse put Zhenwu in a difficult position for a while.
However, thinking that there is a saint in Chaoge is ultimately a good thing for the Shang Dynasty.
So Zhenwu asked Wu Ding to help and said that the specifications of the temple needed to be higher.
Wu Ding didn't even ask why, he just waved his hand and said, "Repair!"
"Build it as lavishly as you can, as luxuriously as you can!"
"Just build it according to the specifications of Phoenix Terrace!"
Wu Ding demonstrated an extremely high level of execution at this moment.
Mingyu was soon invited into the completed temple and became the chief priest.
Wu Ding also set down rules.
All the emperors after him, in addition to offering sacrifices to the previous emperor and the black bird, had to go to the Nuwa Temple to be crowned.
Whoever doesn't go is not orthodox!
Such a heroic ruler established rules, which all future emperors of the Shang Dynasty would abide by.
The great emperors Zu Geng, Zu Jia, and Lin Xin...
This was the case until the reign of Emperor Yi.
It was also during the reign of Emperor Yi that disciples of the Jiejiao sect began to serve as officials in the Shang Dynasty.
Wu Dang brought a little girl to Mingyu and bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Senior Brother!"
Mingyu nodded and turned her gaze to the child Wudang brought.
She was lively and smart, and called out "Master Uncle" in a crisp voice.
"Innate Fire Virtue, not bad!"
Mingyu praised.
Wu Dang smiled. She pointed at the child and said, "This is the disciple accepted by the reincarnation of the eldest brother. He is called Huo Ling."
Behind Wu Dang, Jin Ling also brought a child.
"His name is Wen Zhong, my new disciple. I brought him here today for you to meet me, Senior Brother."
Wen Zhong behaved very well and bowed to Mingyu like a little adult.
"Greetings, Uncle Master!"
Mingyu looked him up and down, and nodded slightly: "You are destined to be with my Shenxiao Mansion."
After saying that, he reached out and gently touched Wen Zhong's brow.
A mysterious lightning pattern flashed by.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Jin Ling was overjoyed and asked Wen Zhong to thank him without saying anything.
After Jin Ling, calls of "Senior Brother" came one after another.
Many disciples of Jiejiao came.
There are second, third, and even fourth generation disciples.
I'm afraid half of the ten thousand immortals of the Jiejiao sect have come.
They all admired and respected Mingyu.
Among the four ancient religions, the one closest to Fengqi and Mingyu has always been Jiejiao.
So when they came to the human world, they came to greet us spontaneously.
Mingyu looked at these second, third, and even fourth generation disciples of Jiejiao who had come into the human world full of vigor and vitality, and he smiled sincerely.
"Good!"
He met all these disciples.
If you see someone who is compatible with you, don’t hesitate to give him or her some advice.
All the Jiejiao disciples were delighted.
Those who get the opportunity are happy.
Don't feel lost if you don't get it.
When it comes to cultivating immortality, everything is up to fate.
The disciples of Jiejiao came in a mighty force, but did not alarm any forces.
When he left, he was even more silent.
Those who should go to the court should go to the court, those who should return to the mountains should return to the mountains, and those who should wander around should wander around.
The world is vast and the red dust is rolling, so you can be free.
Many years later.
Emperor Yi came to the Nuwa Temple and he also brought a child with him.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Priest!"
He had great respect for this priest who had been worshipped by eight generations of emperors.
"I wonder what the Emperor is here for?"
Mingyu looked at Emperor Yi, who was approaching old age.
They are also old friends.
When he was young, Emperor Yi often came to the Nuwa Temple, but he came less often after he ascended the throne.
Like Wu Ding, this great emperor was never able to awaken his true spirit.
Di Yi pushed the child hiding behind him in front of Mingyu.
He said, "After me, I would like to choose a son, Shou, to be the successor of the Shang Dynasty. What do you think, Master Priest?"
A hint of earnestness flashed in Emperor Yi's cloudy eyes.
He looked at Mingyu expectantly.
Mingyu looked at Zishou, who was just three years old, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"General?"
He counted on his fingers and immediately understood the whole process.
The generals and ministers who wanted to experience the worldly life found Hou Tu and followed the rules to walk the path of reincarnation.
As a result, there was a small deviation due to the ghost marriage.
The last emperor of the Shang Dynasty actually fell on his head.
Mingyu didn't know what to say about this result.
Seeing Mingyu's hesitation, Di Yi's heart began to tighten: "Could it be that the High Priest is dissatisfied with this child?"
Mingyu laughed.
He said to Emperor Yi, "No, I am very satisfied with him."
Emperor Yi was overjoyed.
Then.
He left his son and walked away.
The emperor in his twilight years walked briskly and disappeared in a flash.
Just like what the previous emperor Taiyi did, Emperor Yi kept Zishou in the Nuwa Temple.
My son should experience the childhood I went through!
Zi Shou, who was unaware of the situation, was at a loss when he saw Emperor Yi slipping away.
"father……"
Zishou wanted to chase after him, but the temple door was already closed.
Mingyu looked at the panicked child trembling like a little animal and couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, just follow me these days."
For taking care of children or teaching students.
Mingyu is already very skilled.
For each generation of underage imperial sons of the Shang Dynasty, he generally taught them according to their aptitude.
He could easily soothe a three-year-old son.
Mingyu took out a ruler and said with a gentle smile, "This thing has served eight generations of emperors of the Shang Dynasty."
"I hope you can be obedient."
As a result, Zishou burst into tears.
He cried but nodded: "Yeah!"
"I will be very obedient."
"Master Priest, please don't hit me!"
This scene made Mingyu feel a little embarrassed.
He silently put down the ruler in his hand.
I thought to myself, "It seems that using the same teaching method for every generation of talents in the Shang Dynasty is not a good idea."
"This is quite special. I need to change my thinking."
…
And when Mingyu returned to his old job and started a new teaching career.
A joyous event that was celebrated throughout the country took place in Xiqi, a vassal state of the Shang Dynasty.
King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty accomplished a great feat - he evolved the innate Bagua into the acquired Bagua.
It was also on this day that Ji Chang awakened his innate wisdom.
"How many sons do I have?"
Fuxi, who had successfully awakened, sat in the hall and fell into deep thought.
soon.
The sons of King Xibo came to pay their respects.
Not many, only nineteen.
Fuxi sat in the main seat, looking at his nineteen sons, and almost couldn't hold back his excitement.
The eldest son, Bo Yikao - the Purple Star Emperor Xiye;
The second son, Ji Fa - Gou Chen Emperor Taiyi;
The third son, Guan Shuxian - Jade Emperor Haotian;
The fourth son, Ji Dan - the leader of the Western sect Jie Yin;
etc!
Isn’t Jie Yin in the prehistoric times? Why is he here to join in the fun?
Fuxi's gaze lingered on Ji Dan for a while longer.
Then there are five, six, seven...
After reading the speeches of the philosophers, Fuxi was filled with emotion.
"My Xiqi is really full of talented people!"
