Conferred God: High Priest of Yin and Shang Dynasties

Chapter 11 Old man living alone
The breeze blew, and Baiyao woke up from his deep sleep.

There are some white clouds lingering in the sky and the air temperature is suitable. It is a good day to catch up on some sleep.

"Xibohou Jichang has arrived——"

At the gate of the royal city, officials announced.

Baiyao rubbed his eyes, his eyes a little dazed.

Immediately afterwards, some strange memories suddenly appeared in my head.

After he wrote a poem in Nuwa Palace that day, Empress Nuwa was very pleased and rewarded the people of Chaoge with fairy fruits on the spot, and also gave the divine tripod to suppress the great merchants and national fortunes.

He did not propose to come to Chaoge to celebrate his birthday.

"I'm dreaming?"

Baiyao was confused.

At this moment, deep in his mind, the pages of an ancient book opened.

【Great Refining and Replenishing Heavenly Scripture】

The huge amount of information turned into small characters and flowed into his memory like a river.

This is a book that leads directly to the path to immortality. It uses the human body as a furnace to refine the "Sky-Mending Stone", which is used to fill the gaps in the human body.

In this way, the cultivation physique can be improved from the source. In addition to the perfect cultivation steps, there are also many wonderful methods for enlightenment.

Because Nuwa once made stones to mend the sky, this technique was favored by heaven. After practicing it, she made great progress, and there was almost no realm before she became an immortal.

"This is the technique given to me by the empress..."

Baiyao suddenly realized that time went back to before Nuwa arrived, and she modified everyone's memory.

He couldn't help sighing:
"It's truly a saint's method."

Although he didn't get the magic weapon, he was very satisfied with the skills taught by the saint himself.

At this time, Di Xin, who was also at a loss, came to his senses, heard Baiyao's words, and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, no big mistake was made in Nuwa Palace that day."

The two looked at each other and knew that the other's memory was only increased, not replaced.

According to the new memory, the current situation is that Baiyao discovered anomalies after deducing the future, and asked Emperor Xin to summon the princes and the people on his list to attend the court meeting and hold a court meeting outside Longde Hall.

When the princes arrived again and shouted long live to Emperor Xin, he nodded slightly to Baiyao and said:
"Please convey the wishes of your ancestors with your best wishes."

He remembered that Baiyao told him to let the ministers stay after the celebration, presumably because they had something to discuss.

Baiyao glanced at the civil and military officials and said:

"The ancestors told me that the weather has changed and the country has rebelled. Do you know where the rebellion is?"

Shang Rong walked out of the queue, bowed and said:

"My best wishes, I think it was Beihai Yuan Futong who led the 72 princes to rebel, which disturbed the ancestors' peaceful sleep. Taishi Wen Zhong led his army to Beihai in February to put down the rebellion."

Di Xin hummed slightly and interjected:
"Grand Master Wen Tao's military skills are unparalleled. I think he will be able to defeat Yuan Futong in less than a year."

Baiyao shook his head, and his next words frightened everyone:

"The ancestors asked me to deduce the future. I saw that the Grand Master's expedition to Beihai will be a hard fight for 15 years. By then, the princes will rebel, the court will have no generals to use, and the Great Shang Dynasty will be in danger."

The air was suddenly quiet.

"How could Yuan Futong hold back the Grand Master for 15 years?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Our great businessman has strong military equipment. Even if the whole north rebels, it will not take 15 years. Is it possible that the monsters of the North Sea are also involved?"

"Please give me the best wishes for another divination!"

The courtiers were talking a lot, not believing that it would take 15 years for Dinghai Shenzhen Wenzhong to come back.

Because Baiyao "deduced" the news, they can refute it.

As we all know, even great fortune telling is sometimes inaccurate.

Huang Feihu knelt on one knee and said:

"Great congratulations! Even if the Grand Master is held back, there are still ministers around, so how come there are no generals who can speak out?"

The four princes watched with eyes, nose, and heart, not daring to say a word. After all, Baiyao's words mentioned that the princes would rebel in the future, and only a fool would stand up and show loyalty at this time.

Di Xin looked at Baiyao with a serious face:
"Really 15 years?"

Baiyao nodded, "The national strength has been reduced. Although the rebellion was suppressed, it was only a miserable victory."

He raised his hand and the noise stopped.

"Either there are monsters in the North Sea, or there is another rebel party. The war in the North Sea is related to the fate of our country, so even if the divination is inaccurate, we must pay attention to it. The most urgent thing now is to nip the rebellion in the North Sea in the cradle."

After saying that, he looked at Di Xin.

It is possible to send troops, but it must be authorized by Emperor Xin.

Di Xin sat on the king's chair and meditated for a long time.

Judging from the fact that he was bewitched by sorcery, someone must be targeting him and Dashang behind his back.

Beihai is a bitter cold land and extremely poor. Where did Yuan Futong get the capital to rebel?

He even exempted Beihai from paying tribute for ten years because Beihai was too poor.

Something is wrong.

Di Xin made up his mind and said: "Anything related to the fate of the country cannot be careless."

"The reinforcement of the Grand Master needs to be carried out as soon as possible."

"In the third year of Emperor Yi, Da Zhu once defeated the barbarians, relieved the danger on the frontier, and captured a hundred thousand slaves. He was well versed in the art of war. This matter was left to Da Zhu to handle with full authority, and all the soldiers and horses in the world were under control."

Baiyao was stunned for a moment. The original person had indeed made great military exploits, but he didn't expect Di Xin to still remember it.

He quickly realized that this was Emperor Xin giving military power, and said to the ministers:

"Tomorrow at Mao hour, the generals will be ordered in the school grounds. Anyone who comes late will be beheaded."

Then he talked about reducing human sacrifices and told everyone that the reason why Emperor Xin proposed reducing human sacrifices was because his ancestors were secretly warning him while he was sleeping.

As for why Emperor Xin looked at some people in the court with meaningful smiles after saying that, Baiyao had no idea.

...

late at night.

Ancestral Temple, Liuyun Hall.

Baiyao sat in the first place, flanked by Li Jing and Deng Jiugong's family.

Nezha had been playing in Chaoge for a few days and had completely let himself go. No matter how Li Jing warned him, he was unwilling to sit down obediently.

After Daji brought the wine and the waiter served the delicacies, Baiyao smiled at the two families and said:
"Don't be nervous, I just want to meet you all."

He looked at the lively and active Nezha, raised his glass to Li Jing and said:

"This cup is dedicated to General Li. Chentangguan is a dangerous place and the throat of the East. It must be quite stressful."

Li Jing knelt down on the ground, with a hint of uneasiness on his face. He picked up the wine glass and pretended to smile:

"With the protection of the great Shang ancestors, there has been no war at Chentangguan for many years. The general will definitely abide by his duties and protect the border."

Baiyao nodded and said with a smile:

"You are a person with great blessings. Your eldest son, Jin Zha, worships Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun of Wulong Mountain as his teacher, and your second son Mu Zha worships Samantabhadra Master of Jiugong Mountain as his teacher. You are really blessed with great fortune."

Li Jing was sweating coldly when he heard this, he quickly put down his wine glass and knelt down and said:

"I apologize!"

Baiyao's smile did not change, "What's the crime, Commander-in-Chief?"

"I wish to invite my family to the court song by name, but Jin Zha and Muzha are hiding from the world to practice, and I can't contact them. I can't come here. It's really my lack of discipline!"

After hearing this, Baiyao's evaluation of Li Jing dropped a lot.

This is not your only sin.

"Rise up and I will forgive you."

When Li Jing thanked him, he revealed his true purpose:
"Nezha is very spiritual and talented. I want to keep him by my side to accompany my ancestors."

Li Jing immediately complained incessantly. He knew very well that Nezha's nature was like that of a wild monkey. If he stayed in the ancestral temple with many rules, he might cause big trouble one day.

By then, he wouldn't have to wait for the Ability God thing to be discovered. He would lose his head if Nezha broke a tablet.

So Li Jing quickly said:
"It is the dog's blessing to be favored by Da Zhu, but Nezha is extremely stubborn and may disturb the ancestors' spirits."

"He is young and ignorant, and his ancestors would not..."

Just when Baiyao was about to tell him that he didn't have to worry about causing trouble, Nezha, who was squatting under the pillar and chewing the leg of lamb, suddenly said:

"Da Zhu, I can't stay in Chaoge."

Baiyao frowned:

"Why?"

Nezha's mouth was full of oil. He wiped it with Hun Tianling and replied:
"Master will go to Chentangguan to see me from time to time. I want to learn more skills."

Baiyao pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"I was negligent. Chaoge has a strong luck in human nature. Even if Master Taiyi of Qianyuan Mountain is one of the twelve golden immortals of Chanjiao, he cannot come here at will. Forget it, he will go back with his father in a while."

He paused and said regretfully:

"I have left no heirs in this life, and things have changed since I woke up. Fortunately, I have you by my side. Practice is timeless. If you leave, I'm afraid I'll never see you again."

"We are all busy, so be busy..."

There was a sense of loss in the words, and it was obvious that he was an empty-nest old man with no one to care for him and no one to accompany him. He had no descendants and could only wait to die alone.

When Nezha saw this, his eyes filled with tears and he consoled him:

"Best wishes! I have accomplished something in my studies and come to play with you!"

Although the two had only been together for a few days, Nezha experienced an unprecedented feeling in Baiyao - freedom.

In Chentangguan, because of his natural supernatural power, Li Jing was afraid that he would cause trouble because of his ignorance and would not allow him to step out of the house.

But in Chaoge, Baiyao never asked him for anything, and completely accepted his character. Not only was he not afraid of him getting into trouble, but he also supported him when something happened...

That's right, Nezha has already broken the ancestral tablets.

Li Jing did not dare to interrupt, and his fear of Baiyao deepened in his heart.

A mortal who has nothing to do with the way of heaven can easily tell the lineage of his three sons. Even the names of immortals are treasured in the cave.

Is this the great blessing of humanity that can deduce all things...
