Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 12: Gaining prestige on the island, good luck and bad luck
Bixiao could not help but stand there in a daze, covering his face in disbelief.
Looking at Yunxiao, she could never have imagined that her eldest sister, who doted on her the most, would actually hit her.
“Long-eared Dingguang Immortal wanted to leave the island before, but was stopped by me. He was resentful and started to unite his disciples, preparing to suppress me with great force. However, seeing that I have the cultivation level of Hunyuan Jinxian, he felt that he could not defeat me, so he wanted to lure a quasi-saint to help. However, neither Senior Brother Duobao nor Junior Sister Yunxiao could be asked by him.
So he thought of using Bixiao to attract Yunxiao, and then there was the incident of tricking Junior Sister Bixiao into ending up.
Junior Sister Bixiao, whether this is true or not is easy to tell. Junior Sister, are you going to stick to your own ideas now?"
To be honest, Bixiao's talent is not much better than Yunxiao's. If he practices well, even if he cannot be as good as Yunxiao, he will not be much worse. It's just that he is favored by Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, which has made him somewhat misled. Not only has he wasted his talent and failed to practice well, but he has also developed an arrogant character.
The human nature is good, but the heart of Tao is unstable. If one does not wake up and realize it, one will not be able to attain the Tao.
Jiale saw everything about Chang'er Dingguangxian, and he also intended to use this to make Bixiao wake up.
What!
Bixiao couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she heard that. There was no need to verify it. Bixiao was not stupid. She thought about what Jiale said and figured out the whole story. She thought that she might have been used . The most important thing was that the Chang'er Dingguang Immortal not only wanted to use her, but also Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Zhao Gongming.
Even though those younger brothers are important, they are not as important as Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao.
If anything happened to Yunxiao and the other two because of her, she would be unforgivable even if she died.
Yunxiao and the other two couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw Bixiao's appearance. They actually felt a little regretful. Perhaps they had protected Bixiao too well before.
Jiale, however, didn't think there was anything wrong with what happened today.
According to the development of the plot, Bixiao's maturity should have occurred after the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, which led to the deaths of Yunxiao and Qiongxiao. But now, he is expected to wake up earlier under the guidance of Jiale.
With a wave of his hand, the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal appeared in Jiale's hand.
Without much hesitation, he crushed him to death.
"I say the same thing again. Leaving the island without permission is equivalent to apostasy and punishable by death."
The huge commotion at this time had attracted the remaining disciples of Jiejiao to gather together. When they saw that Jiale had actually killed the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, they were all shocked.
He was one of the Seven Fairies, how could he be killed just like that?
Even the Golden Immortal Chang'er Dingguangxian could die at any time, let alone them.
All the disciples at this moment were completely panicked. Even those who still had some ulterior motives had completely disappeared.
A black shadow flashed out. It turned out to be the Winged Immortal who saw the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal being killed by Jiale. He was scared and wanted to escape, but was caught up by Xiaoqi and killed directly.
Jiale brought Ma Yuan over again and killed him immediately.
Lingya Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, and Jinguang Immortal were all horrified at this time.
"Deputy leader, we know we were wrong, please forgive us, we will never dare to do it again."
Seeing the three people kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Jiale had already given up the idea of killing them. The long-eared Dingguang fairy was stirring up trouble and using Bixiao and others, so the leader Tongtian also wanted to kill them. But the other seven fairies who were accompanying them were different. If they took action again, the leader Tongti would probably not be able to sit still. Besides, the three Lingya fairies did not have to die.
By now, the effect of Jiale's efforts to establish its reputation has become very obvious.
How could Jia Le not understand the principle that too much is as bad as too little? After today, most of the problems of Jiejiao should have been solved.
Just look at the eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother and others and you will know.
If they were allowed, they would probably say to Jiale: You are such a ruthless person.
The most important thing is that until this point, Tongtian Patriarch has not appeared. What does this mean? It means that all of Jiale’s actions were tacitly approved by Tongtian Patriarch.
"Go and suppress the island eye Chisai."
The three Lingyaxian were overjoyed when they heard this. Although suppressing the Island Eye was not an easy task, it was better than losing their lives.
"Thank you, Vice-President."
The remaining few disciples expressed their gratitude and left, and the other disciples also dispersed at Jia Le's signal.
Taoist Duobao looked at Jiale and felt bitter in his heart.
The world of Jiejiao has changed.
Bixiao was also taken back by Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, but he was a little distraught. However, Bixiao had to overcome this hurdle by himself, and no one could help him.
With the death of Chang'er Dingguangxian, the calamity aura that had been hanging over Jiejiao disappeared by half in an instant.
When Master Tongtian saw this scene, he fell into deep thought.
North Sea.
Half of the seventy-two princes had been killed or injured at this time.
Yuan Futong was fully confident that he could control everything. With the talented people and monsters he recruited, even Wen Zhong would be no problem. But he was totally wrong.
The talented people and monsters that they had recruited with great joy turned out to be nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the generals under Wen Zhong and were slaughtered in large numbers.
Without those supports, Yuan Futong would be no match for Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong used the art of military formations on the battlefield, and in just two years, he had wiped out most of the 72 princes. Now, Yuan Futong seemed to be at the end of his rope.
Xiqi.
A stream of dragon energy suddenly fell, and soon after that a golden dragon rose from Xiqi, appearing to cover the sky and the sun.
When the people of Xiqi saw this, they all knelt down and prayed for blessings.
Soon after, rumors spread in Xiqi that Xiqi was a sign of a human emperor and a prosperous era. The people loved and revered Duke Xibo even more, and some even felt that Duke Xibo had the potential to rule the world.
This rumor spread not only to Xiqi, but also to the whole world.
Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty also heard such rumors, but he just laughed it off, saying that they were nothing more than a piece of land and clay dog.
Outside Xiqi City.
When King Xibo went out to visit wise men, he unexpectedly met an old man by the river.
When I saw that the old man was fishing with a straight hook, I couldn't help myself.
"If you fish with a straight hook, you will be caught if you are willing."
Hmm! Ji Chang was startled when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Shang in front of him with deep meaning. During this period, it was rumored that a wise man was born outside Xiqi City. This rumor also reached his ears, and this was why he came here. Ji Chang was a wise man at that time, and also a wise man of the time, so he could naturally hear the meaning of Jiang Shang's words.
Maybe what Jiang Shang was fishing for was not the fish, but him.
After that, Ji Chang started to test Jiang Shang. It turned out that Jiang Shang could calmly deal with all the wise words, ways of governing the world, military strategies, etc. in the world, and his knowledge was better than Ji Chang's.
This made Ji Chang even more certain that this was the wise man that the people in Xiqi City were talking about.
To be honest, Ji Chang had no choice but to visit the wise men this time.
Ji Chang was naturally ambitious. He had the ability to make predictions. After inheriting the title of Marquis of Xibo, he observed the general situation of the world and felt that the world might change.
He began to govern Xiqi with wise governance. To this day, the entire Xiqi regards Ji Chang as a wise man and as the king.
It is not wrong to say that the whole Xiqi only knew Ji Chang but not the King of Shang.
Moreover, not only Xiqi, but also the other 200 lords in the west were willing to submit to Ji Chang.
As long as Ji Chang gave an order, the princes of the 200 towns in the west would probably obey.
At this time, Ji Chang could be said to have everything ready, except for the east wind.
However, the east wind not only did not blow, but the west wind suddenly rose. At this time, the Shang Dynasty not only did not show signs of decline as imagined, but became more prosperous.
After Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he destroyed the Dongyi people, promoted both civil and military affairs, and made the grain fields abundant and the people prosperous.
I heard that Yuan Futong of Beihai rebelled some time ago, and Master Wen went to suppress the rebellion, which is now coming to an end. Yuan Futong was also quite famous, but now it is unsurprisingly about to be defeated.
At this critical juncture, news came that dragon energy was rising in Xiqi, a sign of the emergence of the Human Emperor.
This made Ji Chang a little uneasy.
Emperor Xin was so domineering. If he heard about what happened in Xiqi, he would probably become the next Yuan Futong.
However, this auspicious sign of dragon energy made Ji Chang feel moved.
He knew that this must have been pushed by someone with ulterior motives, but this move did not seem like something that Emperor Xin would do. After all, based on his understanding of Emperor Xin, he would probably not bother to do things this way.
Since it’s not Emperor Xin, then it must be those who want the Shang Dynasty to be destroyed.
Who could they be?
Ji Chang is not an ordinary person. He knows more than ordinary people and has thought of some possibilities. If he were those people, perhaps he really would have a chance.
Coincidentally, at this time, news came that a talented person had emerged outside the city.
Just like the dragon energy, it suddenly arose, and Ji Chang had an idea and was ready to go with the flow. Things developed very smoothly, and he really met a great sage.
However, no matter what the rumors are, this great sage is truly a man of both civil and military talents, capable of helping the dragon to rise.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Chang began to invite Jiang Shang to go to Xiqi to assist him in accomplishing his goals.
After some excuses, it was natural for Jiang Shang to return to Xiqi.
After all, Jiang Shang came to Xiqi to help Ji Chang rebel on the orders of Yuanshi Tianzun. Now he just needs a stepping stone. Ji Chang has given him enough face, so why should Jiang Shang insist?
However, Jiang Shang seemed to be testing Ji Chang's sincerity by making a request that even Ji Chang's subordinates thought was excessive.
"Sir, do you want me to carry you into the city?"
Ji Chang looked at his old arms and legs, and actually regretted not practicing any martial arts. Ji Chang was obsessed with literature, but did not pay much attention to martial arts. As a result, he had not yet attained enlightenment in literature, and only knew some divination, which could not increase his strength at all. It was quite difficult for him to walk back to the city by himself, let alone carry someone on his back.
However, Ji Chang's reputation is there.
Now that Jiang Shang had spoken, Ji Chang really didn't know how to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded immediately.
"Please come up, sir."
Ji Chang's men were all shocked and hurried to dissuade him. If Jiang Shang had not looked serious, they would have suspected that Jiang Shang was sent by one of Ji Chang's sons, who wanted to tire Ji Chang to death so that he could take over.
Jiang Shang was not polite to Ji Chang.
One step, two steps...
Ji Chang walked step by step with Jiang Shang on his back, and at this time Kunlun happened to pass by. Looking at Ji Chang who was carrying Jiang Shang on his back and walking forward, he couldn't help but smile.
What a famous scene.
From another angle that no one could see, as Ji Chang moved forward, a little bit of luck was converging towards Xiqi.
Jiang Shang was a man born to fulfill the destiny of the Conferred Gods. He brought his own calamity with him. No matter who got Jiang Shang, he could get three points of luck for free. How much he could get depended on his ability and how much he could take from Jiang Shang. At this time, Jiang Shang seemed to be the incarnation of Heaven. Every step Ji Chang took was to borrow luck from Heaven. With every extra step he took, Xiqi's luck would increase by one point.
Kunlun didn't know it at first, but when he saw the change in Xiqi's fortune, he finally understood.
Hongjun is openly favoring Yuanshi Tianzun. If he gives the List of Gods to Tongtian Jiaozhu, the two Feixiongs who are destined to serve him will also have to join Jiejiao. Then, if Jiang Shang is allowed to serve the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty will naturally be able to survive. Unfortunately, the destruction of the Shang Dynasty is also what the Heavenly Dao wants to see.
Instead, Jiejiao got another unlucky person named Shen Gongbao.
Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao are like two sides of the same coin. Both of them are carrying misfortunes, but Jiang Ziya carries good fortune while Shen Gongbao carries bad luck.
Jiang Ziya can bring good luck to Xiqi and help Xiqi win.
Shen Gongbao also brought bad luck and misfortune to the Shang Dynasty and the Jie Religion, resulting in the destruction of the Shang Dynasty and the shattering of the Jie Religion.
However, it also depends on how it is used.
Jin'ao Island.
Shen Gongbao traveled through mountains and rivers and finally found Jinao Island.
After being driven out of Kunlun Mountain by Yuanshi Tianzun, Shen Gongbao vowed to join a force that was no less powerful than the Chan Sect and achieve supreme cultivation to make Yuanshi Tianzun regret choosing Jiang Ziya instead of him.
In the entire world, the only things that can be compared to the orthodox teaching are the human teaching, the evil teaching and the Buddhist teaching.
There is no chance for the Human Religion for sure. Shen Gongbao has some self-knowledge. There are only a few people in the Human Religion, and Laozi has accepted few disciples too, and all of them are elites, and there is not a single monster. With his leopard body, he is afraid that Laozi will not be able to catch his eye. As for Buddhism, Shen Gongbao looks down on it. After all, the Jie Religion, which teaches everyone, is the most suitable.
So after leaving Kunlun Mountain, Shen Gongbao packed his luggage and headed towards Jinao Island.
Fortunately, I had some luck and was able to see the place where this saint lived.
Seeing Jin'ao Island from afar, Shen Gongbao landed directly on the sea and began to move towards Jin'ao Island with one step and one knock.
This was to show sincerity. In terms of intelligence, Shen Gongbao was definitely better than Jiang Ziya, but Shen Gongbao's mind was not in the right place.
Jiale looked at Shen Gongbao outside the island with an interested look on his face.
Jiang Ziya really has no aptitude for cultivation, but Shen Gongbao is different. His aptitude is still good. If he practices with concentration, he can hope to become a Golden Immortal, and it is not impossible for him to become a Taiyi Daluo.
Moreover, if his bad luck is used well, it can be no less than any magical power in the world.
A voice: Fellow Daoist, please stay.
I don't know how many people he has become a shadow for, but Shen Gongbao is burdened with bad luck, but he doesn't know how to use it, let alone control it.
Because he was the one who was destined to have a calamity, and Jiang Ziya was before him, neither Yuanshi Tianzun nor Tongtian Jiaozhu paid much attention to him, so that Shen Gongbao was really ignored a lot.
In fact, the downfall of the Shang Dynasty and the Jiejiao, although due to the good luck of Jiang Ziya, was also due to the bad luck of Shen Gongbao.
Jiale's mind moved, and he had the idea of training Shen Gongbao.
This is a good sword. If used properly, it can cut the main artery of the Chan sect.
"Shen Gongbao wants to see the saint."
Outside Jin'ao Island, Shen Gongbao finally came close and shouted loudly towards the people inside Jin'ao Island.
The formation was activated, and Jiale appeared outside Jin'ao Island.
Looking at Shen Gongbao in front of him, he has to say that if he were Yuanshi Tianzun, he would also choose Jiang Ziya. Compared with Jiang Ziya, his appearance and temperament are simply outshined. Compared with Jiang Ziya's majesty and righteousness, Shen Gongbao is really too despicable. With Yuanshi Tianzun's character and vision, it was already his limit to be able to hold back his disgust and accept Shen Gongbao.
Just look at the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School and you will know that none of them is not upright.
Shen Gongbao is definitely a rare flower in Yuxu Palace.
Now that it has been confirmed that Jiang Ziya is the man of destiny, Yuanshi Tianzun must be eager to kick out this guy who lowers the average appearance of Yuxu Palace.
"I, Shen Gongbao, greet you, Senior Brother."
Seeing Jiale appear and feeling his aura as vast as the ocean, Shen Gongbao hurriedly saluted, and there was nothing wrong with his etiquette.
Before coming, Shen Gongbao had already memorized all the disciples of Jiejiao in his mind. Now, after comparing them one by one, he found nothing and was a little surprised. However, these were all trivial matters. It was normal for one or two of the more than ten thousand disciples of Jiejiao to not match up.
"I am Chunyang, a disciple of Jiejiao and the deputy leader."
Um!
Chun Yang? Never heard of it.
A direct disciple of Jiejiao! My goodness! Deputy leader, you must be joking.
Up to this point, apart from Jiejiao, the Hundred Ancestors of Humanity and Jie Yin and Zhunti, not many people knew that Jiejiao had a new deputy leader, and Shen Gongbao was even less aware of it. But this didn't matter if Shen Gongbao shouted "six six six", because even a fool knew that no one would dare to lie about the place of a saint.
"Meet the deputy leader."
Jiale nodded, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. Before seeing Shen Gongbao, he had thought about accepting Shen Gongbao, but he did not expect that Shen Gongbao would grow up like this. In the past, Jiale would never say that he looked at people with prejudice, but after seeing Shen Gongbao, Jiale felt that he did have a little bit of mental mysophobia.
Hesitated.
Jiale was indeed hesitant. Such a good disciple should be introduced to Master Tongtian.
"Come with me."
Biyou Palace.
Master Tongtian was a little surprised when he saw Shen Gongbao, who had just finished his ceremony and was looking at him with a passionate expression.
This seems to be the one accepted by Yuanshi Tianzun. What does this mean now?
After understanding what happened, Tongtian Jiaozhu suddenly didn't want to accept it anymore. Although he taught everyone, it was not a shabby company. He didn't want anything that Yuanshi Tianzun didn't want.
However, since Jiale brought him here, how could Tongtian Sect Master not know what Jiale’s plan was? He wanted him to accept Shen Gongbao.
"Damn it, he schemed against everyone and ended up scheming against his own master."
