Chapter 564: Ji Dan of Zhou

"Donghuang Taiyi turned out to be a chess piece left behind by the Transcendent One."

In the secret realm of reincarnation.

Hou Tu spoke softly, with emotion and sorrow in his eyes, naturally remembering the battle between the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the ancestral witch.

Li Ping'an said in a deep voice: "It can be seen that most of the major changes and human tragedies in this world have their source from my teacher."

"Your Majesty, don't let this embarrass you."

Hou Tu sighed, put away the sadness he had inadvertently shown, and returned to a feeling of refreshing spring breeze.

She said softly: "Everything should be based on the long-term survival of more living beings. If His Majesty wants to win the support of Donghuang Taiyi, he will have one or two more chances of winning against the Transcendents."

"Fellow Taoist understands the righteousness deeply, which is really admirable."

Li Ping'an cupped his hands and said:

"Although the current situation is not optimistic, the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi has been led away by the transcendent teacher.

"There is one more thing here. I would like to ask my Taoist friends to keep it a secret. The remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi will be reincarnated into the next generation of the Shang Kingdom."

Hou Tu pinched his fingers to calculate and said softly: "According to the book of life and death, this generation of Shang kings has just come to power. The next generation of Shang kings should be named Zishou."

"This is what Heaven has arranged, and he will be an indispensable and important figure in the subsequent Taoist Immortal Conferment Tribulation."

Li Ping'an curled his lips slightly, his expression somewhat disapproving:

“I haven’t investigated these things clearly, so I’m just guessing.

"Fellow Taoist, you are now in the Heavenly Dao and are part of the Heavenly Dao. Do you think the Heavenly Dao is normal?"

Hou Tu smiled and said: "It's normal to say it's normal, and it's not normal to say it's abnormal. The infant spirit conceived by heaven has become your majesty's eldest son. What could be more abnormal than this?"

"Yes," Li Ping'an said, "I suspect that there is a deep consciousness of the way of heaven, and this consciousness is related to my transcendent teacher."

I don't know why.

Li Ping'an explained: "I have known about the Taoist Immortal Conferring God Tribulation for a long time, even before I practiced. Now, everything is developing towards the script I know. This should not be coincide."

Houtu tilted his head slightly, with confusion in his eyes.

"I won't talk to fellow Taoists about this for the time being. Let me find out."

Li Pingan put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:

"The Chaos Clock says that heaven and earth are reincarnating, and this reincarnation has lasted hundreds of times.

“There is only one sky-opening ax, but Pangu had many.

"This truth is not difficult to understand. The Chaos Clock controls the Avenue of Time, and the Chaos Clock is unique. In the same way, the Sky-Opening Ax is unique. There is only one Sky-Opening Ax in any time and space.

"This clue points to the true purpose of my transcendent teacher.

"I guess Teacher Transcendent may be trying to create a perfect world. Each world will develop backwards according to the plan he made. When there is a deviation in development, or the world cannot reach a certain level, then from a certain node From the beginning, the transcendent teacher judged that this world had failed, and began to let the world go to destruction, killing variables, extracting the original objects of heaven and earth, and preparing for the next world.

"When the next reincarnation begins, another Pangu will be born. Pangu will hunt down the innate gods and demons, and shape a new world with the original objects of heaven and earth extracted by the teacher from the previous world.

“The cycle begins again and again until the birth of the perfect world.

"This perfect world is to make up for the regrets of the transcendent teacher..."

Hou Tu thought carefully for a while, then nodded slowly: "What your Majesty said actually makes some sense."

"How come there is still..."

"Such a thing sounds too incredible."

"I'm just making reasonable assumptions based on the current known circumstances."

Li Pingan sighed softly:

"This time I made a bet with Hongjun. Regarding the nine-tailed fox, Hongjun should be considered a loser.

"He said he would give me a magic gun and tell me a little secret. I don't know if this little secret can reveal the real truth."

Hou Tu asked softly: "Is this truth important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Even if we know the true purpose of the Transcendent, we can't stop the Transcendent," Hou Tu sighed.

Li Ping'an thought for a while: "Fellow Taoist is right. What really determines the final outcome is the strongest combat power. If you have the chance to become a Taoist saint, you can try to fight with my teacher."

Hou Tu asked: "Your Majesty is already very advanced in Taoism. Why haven't you killed the good corpse yet?"

"I am not taking the path of killing three corpses."

Li Pingan sneered:

"Beheading the three corpses requires a lot of accumulation of insights. It takes hundreds of years to get at most just a few clues. If you want to kill the good corpse, it will take at least tens of thousands of years of seclusion to accumulate.

"In order to pull me into the semi-saint class, Teacher Transcendent gave me many resources that are hard to find in the world.

"I also chose to take the path of Hunyuan Holy Body, which is more likely and more difficult. The body and soul are integrated. The advantage is that I can quickly improve my strength through external force. The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to break through than the follow-up of killing three corpses.

"Right now, I am equivalent to being locked by the transcendent teacher to the upper limit of my strength. It will be difficult for me to break through in ten thousand years."

Hou Tu pursed his lips slightly and comforted: "Your Majesty, you have already shouldered enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This is not your business alone."

"I'm actually not that stressed. Why do you think I'm going to be crushed by the pressure?"

Li Ping'an shook his head, dumbfounded.

He immediately said seriously: "Fellow Taoist, if you don't blame me for wooing Donghuang Taiyi, you have done me a great favor."

"We must always look forward. Hatred is hatred, and the overall situation is the overall situation."

Hou Tu said softly:

"Now, the world is so broken, there are fewer and fewer variables, and defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion. The Wu clan and I can no longer cause trouble for your majesty.

"Does Donghuang Taiyi need to go through me to reincarnate as Zishou?"

"That was arranged by the Transcendent Teacher," Li Pingan said, "I suspect there is some calculation in it, but there is no way to stop it at this stage. We can't tear our faces with him now."

Hou Tu nodded slightly: "If there is anything I can do, please tell me, your majesty."

"Yes."

Li Pingan took out two gems from his sleeves:

"The pink gem contains a wisp of the nine-tailed fox's soul, which has turned into a state close to that of an infant spirit.

"In the script of the Conferred God Tribulation that I know, Su Hu, the prince of Jizhou in the Shang Kingdom of Nanzhou, will have a daughter named Su Daji."

Hou Tu calculated with her fingers and said softly: "There is indeed such a person. The Book of Life and Death shows that Su Daji will be born in thirty-six years."

"Reincarnate the nine-tailed fox's soul into Su Daji, and the rest remains unchanged."

Li Ping'an said:

"The nine-tailed fox's body has fallen asleep in the heavens. Without my awakening, she cannot wake up by herself.

"Donghuang Taiyi and the nine-tailed fox have been together for a period of time in this way, which can be regarded as our goodwill to Donghuang Taiyi.

"I now feel that Donghuang Taiyi and the Chaos Bell that protects him may be the key to victory or defeat."

"Well," Hou Tu nodded in agreement, carefully took over the wisp of soul, wrapped it with magic power, and sent it to the pool beside to nourish.

She looked at another golden gem in Li Ping'an's palm and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this power of the soul seems to be...yours?"

"Hmm," Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "I will make a clone later and enter the Conferred God Tribulation through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Can you help me find a suitable candidate in the Zhou Kingdom, a vassal state of the Shang Kingdom?"

Hou Tu carefully searched for a while and asked softly: "Is this Zhou Kingdom the vassal state that will replace the Shang Dynasty in the dynasty change?"

"Not necessarily."

Li Ping'an smiled:

"This is how the script of the Heavenly Dao is written. How it will develop specifically depends on how we plan."

"Your Majesty, you don't actually need to do this yourself."

Hou Tu said while checking:

"You are the Supreme of the Three Realms, the nominal ruler of the Heavenly Dao, and the hope of the human race.

"Reincarnating as a mortal son will more or less affect your prestige. ”

Li Pingan sighed, "It's not that there are no people in the heavens that I can trust, but because I also want to participate in this great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, to explore and gain insights in it. However, with my current practice path, it will be difficult for me to make any breakthroughs in ten thousand years."

"It would be good to let a wisp of the East King's soul reincarnate."

"I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me."

"Well," Hou Tu looked up and said, "The Book of Life and Death shows that the king of Zhou is named Ji Chang, also known as Xibo Hou. He is a diligent and talented king. His eldest wife is pregnant recently and is about to give birth to a son."

Li Pingan asked, "How many children is this?"

"The first one."

"Ji Kao?"

"Yes," Hou Tu smiled, "Your Majesty can check the Book of Life and Death directly, but you still want me to be busy here."

"This is really not something I got from checking the way of heaven. "

Li Pingan sighed softly.

Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Ji Chang who was chopped into meat paste by King Zhou, is more or less a legendary figure.

Li Pingan said: "I don't like this very much. Ji Chang should have many sons, right?"

Hou Tu checked carefully and said softly: "Ji Chang's wife and maid will give birth to 20 children, and he will adopt many sons."

"When will the second son be born?"

"The year after, named Ji Fa."

Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, the protagonist of the expedition against King Zhou in the Conferred Gods.

Li Pingan asked: "What about the third and fourth sons?"

Hou Tu said: "The third son Ji Xian was born four years later, and the fourth son Ji Dan was born six years later. ”

Ji Xian, Guan Shuxian, after the death of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Dan was the regent. Ji Xian was dissatisfied and held King Zhou's son Wu Geng hostage, launching the famous Three Regents Rebellion, which was later suppressed by Ji Dan.

This is not a myth, this is what Li Ping'an knows, the history of his hometown Shang State.

But no matter what, Ji Xian, the third son of King Wen of Zhou, was a man who launched a rebellion and failed. It was too bad for the emperor of heaven to be reincarnated as him.

And this Ji Dan...

Ji Dan, in the history of Li Ping'an's hometown, was called Duke of Zhou. He was the Duke of Zhou who established the Zhou Li and was praised by Confucius.

Although history and mythology cannot be confused;

But being Ji Dan is a hundred times better than being Ji Xian.

Li Ping'an said: "Put my soul on this Ji Dan."

"That's fine," Hou Tu reminded, "Your Majesty, don't you think about it?"

"That's it," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "The eldest son of the Zhou State now has the highest status, followed by the second son of the legitimate son, so naturally the higher the ranking, the better. "

"Well," Hou Tu said with emotion, "I don't know what kind of blessing this Xibo Hou has earned in his previous life."

Li Ping'an muttered, "Please keep this matter secret, especially don't let it be spread to the Heavenly Palace."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no problems in the reincarnation process, and the saints can't see any problems."

"Well, then I will let my original body retreat in the Heavenly Palace in six years."

Li Ping'an inexplicably felt a little more expectant in his heart, and smiled:

"The timing of reincarnation is entirely controlled by Taoist friends."

Hou Tu agreed.

This is a small matter for her, but since it is related to the Heavenly Court's plan for the Conferred God Tribulation of Taoist Immortals, she will go all out.

Li Pingan stayed here for a few more hours, discussing reincarnation with Hou Tu, and then left with satisfaction.

When leaving the underworld, Li Pingan went to see the new place where Dizang was in seclusion.

This Dizang is also strange. He likes some gloomy places to observe those resentful souls.

If the saints of the Western Church want Dizang to play a role, they must wait until the Conferred God Tribulation is over.

Li Pingan shook his head and did not appear again to scare this child. He turned around and went to Dong'an City to wait for the Yuxu Palace to start the preaching meeting.

Hmm?

What's wrong?

This child...

Li Pingan took out a mirror and took a look at his handsome and coquettish face, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

He was only a few hundred years old, but he subconsciously called Dizang "this child".

It's good to be strong.

Of course, his seniority is really high.

…

At the same time, in Yuxu Palace.

Hundreds of disciples from the Chan Sect had returned to the mountain gate early today, and were busy arranging the interior and exterior.

Even Yun Zhongzi and Nanji Xianweng, who rarely showed up on weekdays, appeared in the main hall today and sat next to the saint's cushion early.

Chan Sect attaches great importance to rules, and the internal ranking is also very particular. The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, as the highest-ranking disciples of the Chan Sect Saint, do not need to work at this moment.

Taiyi Zhenren, who has not shown up for a long time because of his retreat to teach his disciples, is now lying on a few cushions, enjoying the leg massage service of Lingzhuzi, with a lazy look in his eyes.

Lingzhuzi is already a teenager, with a handsome appearance and polite manners. Because his body is too thin, he gives people a feeling of being fragile.

"Alas!"

Huanglong Zhenren landed at the door of the temple and stepped into the hall dejectedly.

He wanted to find a corner to sit down, but Taiyi Zhenren called him: "Brother, what's wrong? You look listless."

Huanglong Zhenren was already in a bad mood and was very reluctant to chat with this junior brother who spoke unpleasantly, but in this situation, he couldn't lose face for Taiyi Zhenren, so he lowered his head and walked over and sat down beside Taiyi Zhenren.

He didn't even bother to tidy up the hem of his Taoist robe.

"Oh," Taiyi Zhenren became interested, "Why does Brother Huanglong look so resentful?"

"Let's not talk about this."

Huanglong waved his hand and said, "Brother Taiyi, don't ask too much, I'm worried now."

"Didn't you say before that you would bring Taoist friend Shiji to listen to the lecture?"

"It's because of this matter that I'm worried," Huanglong sighed, "Shiji and I...I'm afraid we're going to break up."

Taiyi Zhenren's eyes were instantly filled with the spirit of gossip.

He immediately sat up, kicked Lingzhuzi out of the hall to play with the young disciples of the third and fourth generations of the Chan Sect, and approached Huanglong Zhenren with a sly smile.

"If you have any sad things, tell me and make me happy."

Huanglong Zhenren's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost took out his heavenly official seal and stuffed it into Taiyi Zhenren's mouth.

"How can you ridicule others like this!"

"Is this a ridicule?" Taiyi Zhenren smiled, "I am helping my senior brother to solve his problems. Do you think you are in better spirits now?"

Huanglong Zhenren:...

"Tell me, what's wrong?"
