Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 13: Shen Gongbao's Advantage, Changes in Xiqi
Tongtian Patriarch couldn't help but glare at Jiale.
Jiale pretended not to see anything, and Tongtian Sect Master didn't want to delay any longer, so he accepted Shen Gongbao directly.
Although he was accepted by Tongtian Patriarch, the teaching work was still done by Jiale. Now Tongtian Patriarch has basically put down the things at hand.
In fact, Tongtian Jiaozhu is not not good at planning, but he does not like planning. He prefers to be straightforward. However, Tongtian Jiaozhu is not invincible in the world after all. Being in the overall situation, he has to deal with those things troublesomely.
But things were different when Jiale came. After seeing Jiale's planning ability, Tongtian Sect Master completely let go.
He hid in Biyou Palace to practice, and left all other matters to Jiale to handle.
Just like the fact that he accepted Shen Gongbao today, it was obvious that Jiale was up to something bad, otherwise, everyone in the entire Jiejiao knew that he, the Patriarch Tongtian, no longer accepted disciples, and Jiale was the first in the past thousand years. However, since Jiale asked him to accept Shen Gongbao, he probably had his own reasons, and the Patriarch Tongtian also supported him, but what happened next was up to Jiale to plan himself.
Jia Le didn't expect too much from the Master of Tongtian Sect. Sometimes Jia Le had to feel lucky that he had met a master like the Master of Tongtian Sect. If it was Yuanshi Tianzun, he wouldn't even think about it. When it comes to domineering, Yuanshi Tianzun is no worse.
Shen Gongbao was a little confused when he saw Master Tongtian, who accepted his disciple and then just ignored him.
Jiale waved his hand directly, "Let's go."
bamboo forest.
"Junior brother, do you know what your greatest advantage is?"
Advantages?
Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. Does he still have an advantage?
To be honest, Shen Gongbao was actually very self-aware. Although his qualifications in the Chan sect were not the last, he was definitely the second to last. He could only find some sense of accomplishment from Jiang Ziya.
Apart from his qualifications, he was completely surpassed by Jiang Ziya in other aspects.
This is true both in appearance and origin. Jiang Ziya is a human. Just based on this point, he is more favored by Yuanshi Tianzun than Shen Gongbao. Shen Gongbao also knows this, which is why Shen Gongbao always makes trouble for Jiang Ziya. You entered the sect at the same time, so why should you be more favored? After all, Shen Gongbao's cultivation speed is faster.
The two of them are like brothers from the same family who were born only a few seconds apart. Some conflicts are caused by Yuanshi Tianzun's favoritism.
However, Shen Gongbao is very clear about himself, that is, he really has no advantages.
“Do I have an advantage?”
Jiale nodded, "You have, you are very unlucky, you are unlucky."
Shen Gongbao was stunned when he heard this, his mind full of question marks, and he looked carefully at Jiale's expression, as if he wanted to see if he had offended this senior brother and was teasing him, is this an advantage? Which advantage is bad luck.
However, when Shen Gongbao thought about his past experiences, it seemed that he was really unlucky. Not only was he unlucky, but even the people around him were unlucky. He had been suppressing the people around him since he was a child. Things only got better after he came to the Chan Sect.
"Brother, please stop laughing at me. What kind of advantage is this?"
Jiale knew what Shen Gongbao was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"Don't think too much. I'm not making fun of you. You and Jiang Ziya are both born for destiny , but Jiang Ziya is blessed with good fortune while you are shrouded in bad luck.
Have you been unlucky since childhood and unlucky with the people around you? It's only after you entered the Chan Sect that things have gotten better."
Shen Gongbao nodded hurriedly. He had already understood something at this time. His senior brother was reminding him that good luck and bad luck were the two. No wonder Yuanshi Tianzun liked Jiang Ziya but not himself. This was obvious. If it were you, would you like a person with good luck or a person with bad luck? Anyone would know which to choose.
But what is going on?
“After entering the Chan Sect, your bad luck will naturally be suppressed by the Chan Sect’s great fortune, so it won’t show up. But when you leave the Chan Sect, this situation won’t change. In fact, this bad luck is not a bad thing for you. The bad thing is that you can’t control your bad luck perfectly.
You are burdened with great bad luck. If you can perfectly control this bad luck and help your practice, then your future will be immeasurable. So, do you still think I am making fun of you now?"
Shen Gongbao was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that he really had the advantage, and after Jiale's reminder, Shen Gongbao finally understood what had been going on all these years. Many things he didn't understand were suddenly cleared up. Thinking about how he was in the Chan Sect, where his father and mother didn't love him, and looking at the situation he was reminded of today by his senior brother, Shen Gongbao suddenly had tears in his eyes, as if he had found his relatives.
He said while waving his hands.
"Please forgive me, I was narrow-minded. Now I know that there are people in this world who really care about me. From now on, you are my relative. If you have any instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Shen Gongbao is a smart man. He knows that Jiale would not say these things to him for no reason. Since he said it, there must be a way to help him solve it.
But why did I guide him to become my disciple and give him guidance when we were not related at all when they were just meeting for the first time? I was the only one who could be of use to me.
Shen Gongbao also took it very easy. At least Jiale was the first person willing to say this to him, and he immediately expressed his attitude.
Jiale couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
He likes smart people. It is easy to talk to smart people. They will understand you as soon as you say it. Of course, I am talking about those who are really smart, not those who are smart in their own way.
"Well, we are all brothers, so it would be inappropriate to say that. My master and I think you are a promising talent, and we don't want to waste your talent. Just remember that you are a disciple of Jiejiao. I know you have worked hard, otherwise, with your qualifications, it would be impossible for you to cultivate to this level in just a few decades.
However, the most important thing in cultivation is to find the right method. Next, I will teach you the Shangqing Immortal Method, and then help you slowly control your own bad luck."
With Jiale's guidance, Shen Gongbao's practice soon got on the right track.
On the other side in Xiqi, Ji Chang, carrying Jiang Ziya on his back, had just taken three steps when he felt his stomach churning. He took another three steps and began to feel unwell. After another three steps, his head began to hurt. Seeing Ji Chang's appearance, all his subordinates couldn't help but become anxious. They knew Ji Chang's health was not good to begin with. He couldn't even walk properly, let alone carry someone on his back.
Now, no matter who falls, it will not be good.
Nangong Shi and others hurried to stop Ji Chang, saying that they should be taken back by Jiang Ziya in his place. However, Ji Chang was stubborn and refused to agree. He just took the next step and fell down.
Everyone saw this and rushed forward to help Ji Chang up.
Jiang Ziya was also a little confused. His luck was declining. Looking at Xiqi's luck, it was also beginning to decline.
Master clearly said that the Great Zhou should have a national fortune of 800 years. Logically, Ji Chang should be able to carry him for 800 steps and enjoy the national fortune of 800 years.
But in the current situation, the discount is too harsh. Eight hundred years of national fortune have been reduced to ten years. This is not a discount, it is a fracture.
What exactly was the problem? Jiang Ziya was also somewhat bewildered, and he fell to the ground, not knowing what to do.
After Ji Chang's men helped Ji Chang up, they also helped Jiang Ziya up at Ji Chang's request. Seeing Jiang Ziya's condition, they thought he was injured.
"Sir, it's all my fault. It's my fault. Please come up first. I can still do it."
Jiang Ziya reacted after hearing the voice. Looking at Ji Chang with a sincere face, Jiang Ziya could only shake his head slowly. He could see that although Ji Chang's health was not good, he still had no problem carrying him for a few hundred steps. But now he could only carry him for ten steps. This was not just a physical problem. He might have something wrong with his luck.
God's will changes so much. Could it be that the fortune of Xiqi has changed, and the eight hundred years of national destiny of Xiqi has been affected?
"It's useless, Lord Marquis. The number of steps you carry me on your back is the number of national fortunes Xiqi will gain. Now it's only ten steps, which means Xiqi will only have ten years of national fortune. There's nothing I can do."
Jiang Ziya was ordered to go down the mountain and come to Xiqi. Originally, he was ready to put his knowledge into practice and fight for a future. But now, with only ten years of national fortune, what future can he have? It is not so easy to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty. According to this result, he can't even defeat Chaoge, or even invade the Shang Dynasty. These ten years will pass, and by then, Xiqi may be destroyed directly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya could no longer sit still. Staying here would not solve the problem.
"My Lord, I still need to go back to the mountain, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Jiang Ziya flashed away, left Xiqi and headed towards Kunlun Mountain. He had to go and ask his master what was going on.
Ji Chang was also stunned by Jiang Ziya's words. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful for the past ten years of national fortune. If he had known this the case, he would have insisted on carrying Jiang Ziya back to Xiqi. He was unwilling to believe it at first, but when he saw Jiang Ziya disappear, he had no choice but to believe it.
I felt even more lost and thought that I had messed up everything.
He was superstitious about divination, so naturally he believed in this mysterious statement.
When everyone saw Ji Chang's distraught look, they immediately said that Jiang Ziya was misleading people with his lies and that it was all nonsense, and asked Ji Chang not to take it to heart.
Kunlun Mountains.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Jiang Ziya coming back, he also went to meet him directly.
“Master…”
Jiang Ziya told the story of how he met Ji Chang in Xiqi and a series of events that happened afterwards. After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, he made some calculations and looked up at the sky in silence. The fortune of Xiqi had completely changed. Originally, Jiang Ziya, a man who was born for the times, could have intercepted the fortune of the Shang Dynasty when it was in turmoil and added it to Xiqi, thus extending the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.
Now, the fortune of Dashan is stable, it is basically like a turtle shell, and there is no way to start.
Even Jiang Ziya would be useless. No matter how much he planned, he couldn't have anticipated this tiny variable.
The phoenix landed in Shang. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun summoned the dragon clan to take care of Xiqi, it would be useless.
His eyes fell on the North Sea.
At this time, Wen Zhong had already driven Yuan Futong to the edge of the North Sea. All 72 princes of the North Sea were now dead or surrendered, leaving only Yuan Futong lingering on.
This rebellion, which should have been the beginning of the chaos in the Shang Dynasty and consumed a large part of the Shang Dynasty's resources, lasted only four years before it was completely over.
Not only did it not cause too much trouble to Da Shang, nor did it consume too much of Da Shang's resources. Instead, it allowed Da Shang to take over the 72 princes of Beihai, provided Da Shang with an opportunity to take back its fiefdom, and greatly increased Da Shang's prestige. A bad thing turned into a good thing.
After this, I'm afraid that the fortune of the Jie Sect will also rise a lot, while the fortune of the Chen Sect will decline because of its failed plan.
Considering that more than 4,000 disciples of Jie Religion had been listed in the List of Conferred Gods, and that almost all of those disciples were Jie Religion maggots, Yuanshi Tianzun felt even more gloomy in his heart, thinking that something must have happened to Jie Religion, and even all this in the Shang Dynasty was related to Jie Religion. After all, the Jie Religion benefited the most from this turmoil.
Yuanshi Tianzun knew Tongtian Jiaozhu very well. He knew that it was impossible for Tongtian Jiaozhu to accomplish these things with his temperament, so there must be someone who could change Tongtian Jiaozhu.
Immediately, people began to investigate the reasons for the changes in Jiejiao and Dashan.
However, what was happening before his eyes did make Yuanshi Tianzun's heart somewhat unbalanced, and some demonic energy even rose in his heart. Yuanshi Tianzun noticed this change, and his face darkened. There was a problem with his practice, and now after this incident, his luck had declined a bit, and it would be even more difficult to suppress it.
As if things weren't bad enough, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but blame it all on Tongtian Jiaozhu.
With a thought in his mind, he disappeared in Kunlun Mountain and headed towards Shouyang Mountain.
The current situation is no longer something he can solve alone.
Human affairs are human affairs. It is not conducive to the practice of cultivators to be involved in too many causes and effects. This is also the reason why the Chan Sect clearly participated in the catastrophe in the previous life, but mainly helped Xiqi and blocked Xiqi in front. But now the situation is that if they do not take action, Xiqi may have no hope at all, and Emperor Xin of Shang may even become the next Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
This is something they absolutely don't want to see.
North Sea.
"Yuan Futong, why don't you surrender quickly?"
Wen Zhong sat upright on the Mo Qilin, looking at Yuan Futong coldly. No matter he surrendered or not, Yuan Futong was doomed to die. Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, Yuan Futong's fate was already determined.
It is really ridiculous that a mere prince dares to resist the royal army.
Yuan Futong looked quite miserable at this time, but he still maintained the demeanor of a hero. When he heard Wen Zhong's words, he actually forced himself to stand up straight and looked down on everyone.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, only death remains. I, Yuan Futong, have no regrets. At least I, Yuan Futong, also rebelled vigorously. It was just that I was unlucky and did not succeed. However, if I, Yuan Futong, fall, there will be thousands of Yuan Futongs standing up. Wen Zhong, the Great Shang will definitely be destroyed. I, Yuan Futong, will go ahead and wait for you in front."
