As soon as the military leader appeared, two more Taoists came behind him to protect Ji Fa.
Yu Hua took out the Soul-Slaying Banner and raised it in the air. Several black energy covered General Dali. However, the golden light on Jundali's body was burning, but it had no effect. Yu Hua was surprised and shook the Soul-Slaying Banner repeatedly.
, but in the end it was useless.
Taoist Jundali sneered and said, "I can defeat the five evil demons and remove all pollution and obstacles. What's the use of a little soul-catching thing like you?"
After saying that, Jun Dali shook his body, revealing his eight-armed body. The magic weapon in his hand was released towards Yu Hua. Yu Hua saw only a golden light, hitting his forehead, and with a muffled groan, he fell on the back of the golden-eyed beast. Jin
The eye beast is psychic, turns around and walks away.
Hong Jin, who came from behind, was surprised when he saw several Taoists around Jun Dali and Ji Fa. Although Hong Jin did not hear Jun Dali's name, it was exactly like this when he was defeated by Huang Feihu that day.
A few people were causing trouble. They knew that the enemy was powerful and did not hold back. They quickly ordered the entire army to evacuate.
Under the cover of the horse archers, Wu Wenhua opened the way, Han Sheng, and Han Bian quickly evacuated the Zhou camp with their Wanbian chariots. At this time, it was getting daylight, and the Zhou camp was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. It was too horrible to see.
The night attack of the Shang army was a complete victory. The Wanren chariot performed a remarkable feat, killing nearly 40,000 Zhou troops, not counting the casualties. However, dozens of Wanren chariots were damaged only because the sergeant who drove them died.
, in the eyes of outsiders, these dozens of them are just paper windmills, which cannot play any role. The only regret is that Yu Hua was killed by the enemy when he smashed the Tianling Cap with an unknown exotic treasure.
Yu Hua is a disciple of Yu Yuan, the Yiqi Immortal of Penglai Island. Yu Yuan’s master is Jin Ling Shen Shen, one of the four sects of Jiejiao. Wen Zhong and Yu Yuan are exactly brothers. Although Wen Zhong was delighted with the victory over the Zhou army,
However, the death of his nephew in battle brought a bit of gloom to this good news. Hong Jin also reported to Wen Zhong the fact that the mysterious Taoists appeared and rescued Ji Fa.
Wen Zhong frowned and thought for a long time. While he ordered the Tianying soldiers accompanying the army to report to the emperor quickly, he summoned his disciple Ji Li and ordered him to go to Penglai Island to report the news of Yu Hua's death to Yu Yuan.
Because the Zhou camp suffered heavy losses one after another and needed to recuperate, it could not avoid fighting for several days. Wen Zhong sent people to call for battle several times, but they were shot back by random arrows. A "war-free card" was hung high on the camp gate.
In order to prevent the same mistake from happening again, Ji Fa sent people to strictly guard the camp area day and night, not daring to relax at all. However, Jun Dali and others did not show their faces, and seemed to have disappeared from the world.
The detailed battle report of how the horse archers and the Wanjian chariots defeated the Western Zhou Army was reported to the emperor of Chaoge as soon as possible by Tianying through some special facilities. Zhang Zixing could achieve such a victory against the Wanjian chariots and the horse archers.
Guo was not surprised, but instead felt wary of the mysterious figure Hong Jin saw in the battle report.
Zhang Zixing thought for a moment and lit the last incense stick left by Shen Gongbao. Soon, the light smoke condensed into the image of Shen Gongbao, who bowed to Zhang Zixing.
Zhang Zixing did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Master, Ji Fa of Xiqi is leading a rebellion right now, and the northwest is in turmoil. Ji Fa rebelled and went out of Qishan, and the following committed crimes. I heard that the Grand Master was with the rebels in Jinji.
We are fighting hard in the mountains, can the Imperial Guard come to help us put down the chaos?"
Shen Gongbao looked hesitant for a long time and sighed: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. When the great businessman is in crisis, I am unable to help. I hope your Majesty will allow me to resign from the post of national advisor."
Zhang Zixing looked surprised: "Does the Imperial Master have something to hide? Why did he abandon me and leave?"
"Your Majesty has been kind to Pindao, so how could Pindao abandon you? It's just..." Shen Gongbao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's make it clear to your majesty...Pindao is a member of the Chan Sect, and now Master has a destiny.
Chan taught all the disciples to help Xiqi, so the poor Taoist was in a dilemma."
Zhang Zixing looked shocked: "The Imperial Master actually wants to... help the rebels! Could it be that he is just like the rebel Jiang Ziya who goes by the alias Lu Wang and wants to betray everyone's trust?"
Shen Gongbao looked ashamed: "The teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and a poor man cannot disobey it..."
"National Master, in fact, Xiaoyaozi has already told me what happened that day..." Shen Gongbao was shocked when he heard this, and Zhang Zixing said again: "Xiaoyaozi asked me to tell the Imperial Master, he knows that you can't help yourself,
I don’t blame you, I just hope you can take care of yourself and take care of yourself.”
Shen Gongbao's heart surged, his body trembled slightly, and he sighed: "I owe a lot to Taoist friends Xiaoyao... If there is an opportunity in the future, I will repay it with my life!"
Zhang Zixing heard Shen Gongbao's sincere tone and sighed secretly in his heart, saying: "National Master, since it is hard to disobey the master's orders, I will not force you to do anything. I only regret that I have no chance to meet you. There is one last thing, please answer the Imperial Master. Former Marshal
Hong Jin attacked Zhou Dynasty and confronted Huang Feihu, and originally had the upper hand. However, some mysterious figures suddenly appeared in Huang Feihu's army with extraordinary Taoism. In the end, Hong Jin was defeated. Now when I heard that when the Grand Master attacked Zhou camp at night, those mysterious figures appeared again,
And killed the vanguard general Yu Hua. What I want to ask is, are these people fellow sects of the national division?"
Shen Gongbao pondered for a while and said: "To be honest with you, your majesty, this is not about my teaching, but...it's about the teachings of the West! This is all I have to say, so please don't ask any more questions."
Zhang Zixing was shocked in his heart: It was really the Western religion! When Hong Jin was attacking Xiqi, the elites of the Chan religion had gone through ten battles at Sanshan Pass. How could there be a group of redundant men who could easily defeat Hong Jin? That day he
I had also speculated about the secret power of Chan Sect, and I had also doubted Western Religion. Now that I got confirmation from Shen Gongbao, I realized that it was indeed a Western Religion. It seems that Chan Religion and Western Religion have been united.
"Alas, it seems that the 800-year-old foundation of Chengtang will be destroyed at the hands of this unworthy descendant!" Zhang Zixing showed a dejected look and sighed to Shen Gongbao: "National Master... No, Taoist Master Shen, I know your difficulties.
, From now on, I will no longer make things difficult for you, please take care of yourself."
When Shen Gongbao saw that the emperor was still treating him with courtesy and affection, he felt ashamed in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I am ashamed of my heart, so I went to the famous mountain and invited one or two people with superb Taoism to try to solve this disaster."
.This is my last wish for Your Majesty."
Since Yuanshi Tianzun has his destiny first, then the "one or two masters of Taoism" must be cannon fodder other than the Chanjiao, and most likely they are the Jiejiao. Zhang Zixing thought for a while, but his face still showed joy: "Thank you very much.
Taoist Master Shen! What am I saying? If the Taoist Master does not arrive, Dachang will never have Zuo Guoshi from now on."
Shen Gongbao solemnly gave a deep salute, and his body gradually faded away with the smoke. Zhang Zixing thought for a long time, gave Shang Qingjun a few words, and flew away on a dragon horse. Not long after, he arrived at Biyou Palace. There were disciples outside Biyou Palace.
He caught him and reported to Our Lady of Jinling who was patrolling the mountain today. Our Lady of Jinling received the master's order and invited him into Biyou Palace. Nearly an hour later, Zhang Zixing left and returned to Chaoge.
Not long after returning, Yuan Hong hurried over and reported the news: Princess Long Ji was leaving!
Leaving so soon? Zhang Zixing was surprised and hurried to Dongjiao Manor.
Seeing him coming, Princess Longji said, "Fellow Taoist, I have been treated a lot by you recently, and I am going back to Fenghuang Mountain today."
Zhang Zixing hurriedly said: "Why did the princess say this? With the friendship between you and me, how can you say the word 'nagging'? Is it because you think I didn't greet you well?"
Princess Long Ji shook her head and said: "My fellow Taoist is busy with official duties, so he still finds time to come here from time to time. I will keep it in mind. However, the war is urgent at the moment, and my fellow Taoist serves the king, so he has no time to spare. Not only can I not help him here,
My friend, I was tired of my fellow Taoist and was distracted, so I felt very sorry and left, so I left. If my fellow Taoist needs help in the future, you can come to Fenghuang Mountain and I will do my best to help."
Zhang Zixing looked at Biyun Tong'er and the maids around him, and said, "I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. Can I ask the princess to lend me a moment?"
Princess Long Ji nodded and followed him out, but Biyun Tong'er seemed to understand something and blinked at Zhang Zixing in an encouraging manner.
Zhang Zixing and Princess Long Ji walked out of the manor and walked all the way. The autumn scenery along the way was picturesque, the gentle light of the autumn sun was faintly revealed in the floating clouds in the sky, the branches of the trees were studded with heavy fruits, and the ground was decorated with golden and red themes.
The color tone, the comfortable cool breeze blowing from time to time, gives people an elegant yet substantial sense of coordination.
The two of them walked side by side for a while without saying anything. Princess Long Ji was the first to stop: "Fellow Taoist, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Zhang Zixing looked at her beautiful face, which had lost most of its coldness, and felt an inexplicable affection in his heart. He pointed at the scenery in front of him and asked: "Princess, how do you think this Chaoge compares to your Phoenix Mountain?"
Princess Long Ji thought for a while and said: "If we talk about the landscape alone, Phoenix Mountain may be slightly better. But there are only two people in Phoenix Mountain, Biyun Tong'er and me, and we can't stay away. We have been used to seeing that place for thousands of years."
Even if it is a fairyland, one’s eyes will be tired of seeing such scenery. Chaoge is the capital of the great Shang Kingdom, and it is very lively. Besides, there are Taoist friends here...it is far from comparable to Nakong Mountain."
Zhang Zixing nodded and said softly: "Princess, when you mentioned 'nagging' earlier, it was a mistake... In fact, as long as you don't dislike it, even if you stay here for a hundred years, a thousand years, or a lifetime, I won't feel nagging."
of."
Princess Long Ji trembled slightly, not daring to face his gaze, and turned her head: "How could I dislike fellow Taoist... It's just that I feel that I am dragging fellow Taoist down, so I want to leave first and wait for him.
Friends, let’s get together again when we have some free time.”
Zhang Zixing took a step forward: "If the princess leaves like this, I will miss her day and night, and my bedroom will be uneasy. This will really drag me down."
The more Princess Long Ji heard him speak, the more straightforward she became. Even though she was usually as cold as ice, she was a little unable to resist. If someone else had said such bold words to her, she would have angered her with the Erlong Sword and greeted her directly; but now
It was "Xiaoyaozi" who said this. Instead of being angry, she felt her face was burning and her heart was beating hard. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she casually responded: "If I leave, I will really miss you day and night."
,Is the bedroom uneasy?"
As soon as the words came out, Princess Long Ji regretted it. Shouldn't she refuse? Why could she involuntarily say such "weak" words? After hearing the words, Zhang Zixing had a clear idea and quickly followed the words: "This is absolutely true.
Indeed, if I don't see the princess for a day, I will always miss her in my heart; when I see her, I will feel happy but fear that I will lose it again, and I will be extremely frightened. This goes over and over again, which is very painful. I can only hope that I can always be by the princess's side, life and death.
Don’t give up.”
Princess Longji's heart beat faster, her face was already flushed, and she still had her usual cold and arrogant expression. The feeling that Xiaoyaozi mentioned just now was actually the same in her heart. When we didn't see each other, she only looked forward to seeing each other;
When we meet, we are afraid that heaven will punish us and it will not last long. It is better not to see each other than to see each other, but we look forward to seeing each other even if we do not see each other.
Although Princess Longji was shy, she felt a faint feeling of joy in her heart: It turns out that he and I are both like this!
"Princess, although I am powerful in the human world and rich all over the world, I cannot compare with the heaven. I know that my status is not worthy of the princess." When Zhang Zixing said this, he also vaguely meant to express his identity, "But my feelings for the princess
, but you can learn from your sincerity. If the princess does not dislike it, I am willing to marry you and we will share weal and woe from now on, life and death. I wonder if the princess is willing?"
Princess Longji didn't notice the words "powerful in the human world, rich all over the world". She was already at a loss when he said "always be with you".
In fact, when she agreed to "take a step to talk" with Xiaoyaozi today, she had a vague premonition of his confession. Now that she heard his confession in person, she could not help but feel confused. She felt that she had never been like this since she was born.
of tension.
After a long while, Princess Long Ji finally calmed down and said, "Friend Taoist, I am not relying on my status. It's just because I am a princess in the heaven, so I have no control over marriage. There are strict regulations in the heaven. All men and women in the heaven must marry.
When you are a Taoist couple, you must ask your mother and queen, and then the Fuyuan Immortal can pull the power of the red thread to make things happen. If you don't follow the rules of heaven and get married privately, there will be no good results. Even if the sister of the Emperor of Heaven married a mortal in the lower world privately,
It is also suppressed in accordance with the rules. Long Ji knows this intention of fellow Taoist, and is extremely... grateful. It's a pity that I have been punished by the sin mother, and now I'm afraid..."
Fuyuan Immortal Old Man? He must be Yue Lao! To put it bluntly, he is an accomplice used by Yaochi Golden Mother to control marriages. When Zhang Zixing heard Princess Long Ji mention God Haotian, she only used the word "Emperor of Heaven", but when she mentioned Yaochi Golden Mother,
But he called her "Queen Mother", knowing that she still had a lot of respect for the Golden Mother, so she immediately said: "What about Fuyuan Immortal? What about the Golden Mother in Yaochi? Then the Golden Mother expelled you from the lower world, and you are in the middle. You must have guessed.
How can there be any mother-daughter relationship at all? Besides, you and she are both born from the energy of the lunar yin, so they are not really mother and daughter. I don't ask about these trivial matters, but only ask one thing, is the princess willing?"
Princess Long Ji's face turned red, but she just kept silent. Zhang Zixing knew that she must have intentions in her heart, otherwise she would have refused at the beginning. She just couldn't say it out loud, so she quickly added more force: "Princess, if you don't say anything, I will treat it as your acquiescence."
From now on, you will no longer be alone, and I will do my best to cherish you. I will never let you suffer the pain of loneliness like I did in Phoenix Mountain."
No longer alone? Princess Long Ji was shocked when she heard such loving words, and finally did not say any words of rejection.
Zhang Zixing saw the affection in her eyes, and took the opportunity to step forward and hold her hand gently, feeling as warm as jade. Princess Long Ji struggled slightly, but did not move again, and sighed: "It's just that Fuyuan Immortal and the Queen...
…”
Zhang Zixing secretly rejoiced and said hurriedly: "As long as you and I are of the same mind, let alone the Fuyuan Immortal. Even the Golden Mother will never think of breaking us up! If she dares to interfere, I will use all the strength of the country to fight her to the end! Not only that,
I also have one or two brothers and friends who can rival the Golden Mother Haotian..."
With the power of a whole country? Is there anyone who can rival the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven? Princess Longji finally heard some clues and felt strange in her heart. Just as she was about to ask, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky in front of her.
The floating clouds in the sky suddenly turned black. When you look closely, you can see that the sky is covered by a large amount of black air rising from the ground. To a mortal, it would look like dark clouds, but in the eyes of Zhang Zixing and Long Ji, this black air has a...
There was a terrifying force that seemed to swallow up the sky.
Both of them were startled. Princess Longji instinctively felt the huge threat posed by this black energy, and gently broke away from his hand, looking alert. At this time, she heard a rough sound coming from the black energy.
Laughter, this laughter actually made the ground start to tremble slightly.
Zhang Zixing felt that the laughter was very familiar. Thinking of something, he immediately became energetic and walked quickly in the direction of the black air. Princess Long Ji did not expect that he was so impulsive and went forward regardless of the danger. Worried, she quickly followed.
.
The laughter lasted for a while. As if aware of the arrival of the two men, the black energy quickly converged and condensed towards the ground, eventually turning into a tall and burly man.
When Princess Long Ji saw the man's appearance, her expression suddenly changed. Her feet suddenly sped up and she reached out to stop Zhang Zixing. From Princess Long Ji's slightly trembling hands, it could be seen that she was nervous, even scared.
The strong man caught a glimpse of Zhang Zixing. He looked happy and hurried forward. Princess Long Ji was shocked. The Erlong Sword was already in her hand, but she didn't know that the man did not attack as expected.
Instead, he stooped down, half-bent his knees and saluted Zhang Zixing: "Your Majesty!"
This unexpected title caused a strong shock in Princess Long Ji's heart, and she looked at Zhang Zixing in disbelief.
