Chapter 68: Recruiting Demon Banners! The Resentment of Empress Nuwa
"Of course it's a bet on whether I, the future king of the country, can change my destiny against the will of heaven." Zhang Zixing pretended to be indifferent, "But... if a saint like the empress takes action, even if there are tens of millions of people like me, a little king on earth,
Even if you are twice as capable as the queen, it is not enough for the queen to kill, so why not call all the people together and let the queen slaughter them all, so there is no need to gamble."
"Don't try to bully me with words. If a saint is not stained by dust, I will not take action. In three years' time, the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty will prosper and then decline. Failure is certain. At that time, the God of the world will respond to his orders.
Lead the crowd to destroy the merchants, and no one else can take advantage of you."
"So, I am destined to die in the hands of this traitor who seeks to usurp the throne, rather than being assassinated by some immortal?" Zhang Zixing felt a little relieved: "The words of the empress are like golden rules, so naturally I dare not doubt it.
What if several other saints, regardless of their status, took action in person to fight during the killing?"
Nuwa frowned slightly: "Those people are all people with great supernatural powers who are well versed in the secrets of heaven. They should not interfere with the number of days. If this is really the case, it will be beyond my ability to resolve..."
"Can your Majesty promise me that if there is a fight between saints in this murderous calamity in the future, it will be settled if the numbers of both sides are equal? If there is a situation where there are many widows, please help the side with fewer people, check and balance, and resolve the fight.
In order to avoid harming the common people, this can be regarded as part of our bet, how about it?"
Nuwa was a little surprised. This strange condition did not bring any benefit to the Emperor Zhou himself, but she knew in her heart that the battle between saints would be earth-shattering and the destruction of the stars. If it could be resolved, it would be a meritorious event. What's more, the list of gods is three religions.
The saint signed the contract together. She was also present at that time, so how could there be any fight? At most, it was just some disciples Ying Jie. She immediately agreed to Zhang Zixing's request - she never imagined that the emperor with meager power in front of her was a capable person.
Zhu Xian, who "foresees" the future and is the "descendant" of the Battle of Ten Thousand Immortals, laid an ambush for the future.
"Okay! If I lose this bet, I am willing to give up my Xuan Gong and die without any bones left!" Zhang Zixing's answer was very cunning. If Zhou really destroyed Shang in the end, then Lutai*,
It was originally the ending of King Zhou. As for the "mysterious skills are dispersed and no bones remain", it is just to modify the tragic scene of death. Otherwise, why didn't this guy say "Both body and spirit are destroyed, and there is no way to be a god"?
Nuwa didn't know that he had so many evil thoughts. Even though she was a saint, she couldn't accurately calculate the future due to the confusion of heaven. In this era where people believe in "rest in peace", "no bones left" is indeed very tragic.
What's more, the person is still an emperor who rules the world, so he nodded with satisfaction, but heard the other person ask again: "What if I win by luck?"
"What do you want to do?" There was a look of contempt in Nuwa's eyes. No matter how confusing the destiny is, the number of days cannot be changed. Several saints have worked together to calculate that the Lord of True Destiny is destined to be born in response to the disaster, change dynasties, and rule the world.
Moreover, the list of gods was jointly signed by the three saints. Unless Taoist Hongjun personally takes action, who can disobey it?
Zhang Zixing wanted to make all his women immortal, but when he saw Nuwa's contemptuous look, he suddenly felt a surge of pride to conquer this super royal sister, and blurted out: "If you lose, you must promise me something."
thing."
"Which thing?"
"How about anything within your power?"
Nuwa agreed without thinking. Anyway, she believed that this arrogant emperor didn't even have a one-in-a-billion chance of winning.
"Anyway, the empress also thinks that I will definitely lose. We will discuss this matter later. However, the empress is a saint and cannot go back on her word." Zhang Zixing looked at Nuwa's beauty and suddenly showed an evil smile, "For example, I
The harem happens to be short of a lovely person to make the bed and fold the quilt. Then the empress will..."
Empress Nuwa did not expect that he was so bold that he dared to make such teasing remarks in front of her. She was furious and was about to fall out, but she heard what this guy said and changed her mind in time: "If this is the request, I will also ask the empress to give me a fairy."
I would be very grateful..."
"You..." Nuwa's anger was stuck in the middle. She knew clearly that he had obscene intentions, but she couldn't let it out. She could only turn into a cold snort, which made Zhang Zixing's internal organs tremble for a while, and even Nascent Soul seemed to be confused.
was hit hard.
"Thank you for your advice today. I will say goodbye and wish you a long life!" Zhang Zixing, who succeeded in teasing, made Nuwa suffer a loss. She felt a breath of bad breath and was in a good mood. She didn't care about her internal injuries. She bowed and strode away.
go out.
Due to the magic power exerted by Empress Nuwa, the civil and military ministers waiting outside did not know what happened in the hall just now. They only knew that the emperor was praying to the empress alone. Zhang Zixing was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and laughed softly:
"There is still a plot that has not been completed..."
Immediately he ordered: "Get pen and ink." The attendant hurriedly took the future and followed the emperor into the main hall of Nuwa Palace. The emperor moistened the purple hair deeply and drew a picture of bamboo and stone on the pink wall of the palace with several strokes. This picture
The style of bamboo and stone is unrestrained, and the freehand brushwork is unparalleled in the world. At this time, pen and ink had not been popular for a long time, and even those painters in the palace did not have such painting skills. This unique painting skill was originally used to please beauties, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
.
After finishing the painting, he wrote a poem next to it: He clings to the green mountains and does not let go, his roots are still in the broken rocks. He has been strong despite countless blows, regardless of the east, west, north or south wind.
It was the first time that the ministers saw the emperor display his extraordinary skills in calligraphy and painting, and they all admired him. After the emperor finished his work, Prime Minister Shang Rongqi said: "Your Majesty is a master of both calligraphy and painting. His poetry is clear and far-reaching, and his meaning is profound, which is unparalleled in the world. But
Empress Nuwa is the righteous god of ancient times and the blessed master of court songs. It seems that this poem does not match the meaning of this poem. I am an old minister who is stupid. I would like to ask your Majesty to teach you."
Zhang Zixing smiled mysteriously: "I deeply feel that the empress has noble character and immeasurable merits. Now she has blessed her heart and soul, and occasionally got some wonderful lines. So I wrote this poem. Is there any other intention? I am here to watch it with the people and praise the empress's great virtues!"
Although Shang Rong didn't understand what he meant, he didn't ask too many questions after hearing the emperor's explanation. The other officials took the opportunity to praise the emperor's wonderful pen. Zhang Zixing took a deep look at the Nuwa Empress who had turned into a bronze statue, and didn't say much.
Lead the crowd to leave.
This poem originated from "Bamboo and Stone" by Zheng Banqiao, a famous person in the Qing Dynasty. It is a poem with profound meaning. In praising the firm and tenacious spirit of Bamboo and Stone, it also implies the strength of one's own character. The last two lines are often used to describe the revolution.
The author's firm stand in the struggle and his character that will never waver when attacked by the enemy. Now it is openly inscribed on the wall by Zhang Zixing, and its meaning is self-evident.
This time, although Zhang Zixing did not persuade Nuwa to fight on the side of Dashang, he gained a lot. From Nuwa's mouth, he learned an important piece of information: Dashang still has at least three years of national prosperity. These three years
Year was the precious time for him to rely on his super brain to develop rapidly. In the original plot, the decline of Dashang began when Su Hu rebelled against Shang and Daji entered the palace. The time was "the summer of the eighth year of King Zhou", which happened to be three years later.
Come on, the development of the situation has returned to its original track after going in a circle, but what about the final outcome? Will it change?
Another gain is Empress Nuwa’s promise that in the future, in the Immortal Killing Formation or the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, the leader of Jiejiao who is on the side of Dashang will no longer face the Four Saints alone. Even if this plot does not appear, once the Saints fight, at least
It can have a check and balance effect, and the strength of both sides is equal, so there is suspense in the fight. For Zhang Zixing, the more fierce the fight, the better. It is best to lose both sides and have no time to take care of others. Of course, one Nuwa is not enough. If there is a chance, in the future
We must continue to work hard to make the strength of both sides more balanced and the fight more fierce...
As for the last condition, it seems to be a joke. Although conquering the best imperial sister is a very fulfilling job, he will not be stupid enough to really provoke the vengeful empress unless he also becomes a saint, but then
The possibility of this is almost zero, and the most you can ask for is "taking your wives to become immortals and be happy together".
The opposite of Zhang Zixing's mood was the Empress Nuwa in the Wa Palace. This little human emperor was rude and rude in the main hall, making scolding remarks, and deliberately showed a lewd smile before leaving, including the poem "Bamboo and Stone" on the wall.
...all of which made this saintly empress furious.
"What a person who has endured a thousand blows and is still strong, regardless of the east, west, north and south winds... What a literary talent! Yin Zhou's faint king, you bullied me too much!" Nuwa has not been so angry for many years. After thinking about it, she decided not to spare this foolish king lightly. Chao Bi
Xia Tongzi ordered: "Get the golden gourd from the harem."
Bixia boy obeyed the order and brought the gourd. The empress took off the cover of the gourd and pointed with her hand. A white light flew out from the gourd. It was as big as a line and more than four or five feet high. Above the white light, a strange flag hung.
Surrounded by colorful rays of light, it is the demon-beckoning flag. This demon-beckoning flag is an ancient artifact. When Nuwa repaired the sky, all the demons in the world felt its kindness, gathered their essence and blood on it, and willingly listened to her orders.
The Empress Nuwa muttered something, and the demon flag trembled slightly. After a while, a sad wind blew, a misty mist spread, and clouds gathered around. The wind passed by for several times, and all the demon clans from all over the world came to the outside of the Wa Palace to listen to the decree. These demon clans did not
Including the alien cultivators in Chanjiao and Jiejiao, as well as those ancient strange monsters who have reached the realm of Xuanxian. The former had their essence and blood wiped out because Nuwa had friendship with the two saints in charge, and the latter
It is because of his advanced cultivation that he is no longer controlled by the demon-calling banner.
Empress Nuwa looked at the group of monsters and said: "Three years from now, the world will be plagued by massacres and calamities. If you are willing to practice meditation, you can avoid practicing in the mountains. Don't cause disasters. Those who are determined to cope with the disasters can take action accordingly."
An ape demon spoke and asked: "May I ask my Majesty, what will be the outcome of this person who deserves to be robbed?"
"Fortunate fate, those with deep roots will become saints in their physical body, gain a glimpse of the immortal way, and gain freedom and eternal life; the second best can enjoy the divine way, be governed by the Haotian God, and serve in heaven; those with shallow abilities will turn into ashes and no longer exist in the world.
, you should take care of yourself."
The group of monsters did not dare to whisper, and each had their own concerns in their minds. They all knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for your advice."
After finishing her instructions, Empress Nuwa said: "The demons everywhere will retreat, leaving only the three female demons in Xuanyuan's tomb waiting for you."
After the group of demons dispersed, three female demons from Xuanyuan Tomb entered the palace to pay homage, saying: "The empress' holy life is boundless!"
Empress Nuwa glanced at the leader of the thousand-year-old vixen, frowned and said: "Why did you lose your body and your cultivation level was greatly reduced?"
The vixen cried: "The little demon was attacked by a small man the day before yesterday, and his body was devoured by him. Fortunately, a friend helped him to kill the enemy, and then he could save his soul. Otherwise, he would not have been able to receive the holy call of the empress today."
Empress Nuwa didn't care about this: "You don't have to worry, this is just right, but it saves you some trouble. I will have a way to make you regain your body by then."
The vixen quickly kowtowed and thanked him. The two demons behind him were a nine-headed pheasant spirit and a jade pipa spirit. The empress said: "I will teach you the secret skills of the three heavenly demons later. You can practice them with concentration in my palace.
When you are successful, you will have your own mission."
The three demons were overjoyed and thanked each other and left. The empress called Caiyun boy again, took out a mirror and said: "Caiyun, take this mirror and look for a woman who looks similar to the one in the mirror. As soon as there is news,
, report back immediately, I will be of great use!”
Caiyun boy took the reflection crystal mirror and saw the image of a stunningly beautiful woman in the mirror. This woman was sometimes cold and sometimes charming, with various manners and incomparable beauty. Although Caiyun boy was a woman, he was stunned for a moment.
After being urged by the empress, she went to the outside world. If Zhang Zixing were here at this moment, he would definitely scream in surprise. The woman's appearance turned out to be...
After Caiyun boy left, Nuwa's eyes gradually turned cold: "Hunjun, this girl is the one you miss so much. She must be the flaw in your heart. In the future, the country will be destroyed and people will be destroyed, and this girl must be the one to blame..."
