Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 285 King Zhou was foolish and missed the opportunity

Since King Zhou got Daji, he spent most of his time drinking with her and neglecting government affairs.

King Zhou has not been in court for a long time, and the civil and military officials in the court are also talking about it.

Doctor Mabel went to find Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Abi went to speak out his worries.

"Your Majesty indulges in drinking and sex every day and ignores government affairs. Memorials from various places have piled up like a mountain. This is a sign of an upcoming chaos."

"As ministers, we should have our own ethics. If His Majesty does something wrong, we should correct it in time. I am willing to go with the two prime ministers to admonish His Majesty."

Shang Rong and Bigan also felt that what Meibo said was reasonable, so they asked the palace servants to play drums and invite King Zhou to ascend to the palace.

When King Zhou saw the ministers beating drums and asking him to be promoted to the palace, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Daji and came to the main hall.

King Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart when he saw Prime Minister Shang Rong and Yabi Qian, and King Wucheng Huang Feihu walking into the hall holding a thick memorial.

He was thinking about how he could have fun with Daji, so how could he be in the mood to review memorials?

However, King Zhou also knew that these veterans were all upright people, and it would be difficult for him to escape if he did not follow their wishes.

Therefore, King Zhou could only bite the bullet and said to several ministers: "Now that the whole world is in good health and Beihai is rebelling against the party, I heard that the Grand Master has gone to exterminate them. Why do I have to deal with it?"

"Of course, the two prime ministers will help me handle matters in the court. Even if I handle it myself, I may not be able to handle it better than the two prime ministers!"

At this time, a palace official came to report that a Taoist priest was visiting and wanted to see His Majesty.

A weapon refiner named Yun Zhongzi in Zhongnan Mountain was collecting herbs in the mountain when he saw a demonic aura rising into the sky from the southeast.

Yun Zhongzi looked closely and found that the evil spirit was just a thousand-year-old fox, disguised as a human being, hiding in the imperial palace of Chaoge City.

Yun Zhongzi was a little worried, fearing that this monster would bring trouble to the world, so he called the Jinxia boy next to him.

"Disciple, go and chop an old pine branch for me. I'll cut it into a wooden sword to slay the demons."

After hearing this, Jinxia boy was a little amused and asked: "Master, if you want to get rid of demons, why don't you use the demon-lighting sword to get rid of it once and for all and avoid future troubles forever?"

After hearing this, Yun Zhongzi laughed loudly: "How can a mere thousand-year-old fox demon be worthy of my sword?"

After that, Yun Zhongzi asked Boy Jinxia to fetch pine branches and cut them into a sword. He told Boy Jinxia to guard the cave door and went straight to Chaoge City.

When Yun Zhongzi arrived at Chaoge City, King Zhou was competing with the prime minister. King Wucheng Huang Feihu and others were discussing matters. They were impatient. When they heard that a Taoist was coming, they immediately asked the guards to call Yun Zhongzi in.

When Yun Zhongzi entered the palace, King Zhou looked down and saw Yun Zhongzi, wearing a cyan gauze turban with two tassels floating on the back of his head.

He was wearing a Taoist robe and a pair of moon-walking shoes on his feet. He looked like an immortal. He was holding a flower basket in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand.

Yun Zhongzi came to the middle of the hall, stood up, and saluted King Zhou.

King Zhou was very unhappy when he saw that Yun Zhongzi did not kneel down to him.

I think that I am the emperor, and all the people in the world are the king's land. On the shore of the land, are they the king's ministers? Even though you are a monk outside the country, you still have to observe the etiquette!

At that moment, King Zhou thought that he would embarrass Yun Zhongzi and find a reason to punish Yun Zhongzi and take revenge on him for not kowtowing to him just now.

So King Zhou sat on the dragon chair and asked carelessly: "Taoist Master, where do you come from?"

Yun Zhongzi calmly replied: "The poor Taoist comes from Yunshui."

King Zhou asked again: "What is Yunshui?"

Yun Zhongzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded: "The heart is like white clouds, always at ease, and the mind is like flowing water, letting things go." King Zhou was also an extremely smart man, and hurriedly asked: "What should you do if the clouds disperse and the water dries up?"

"The clouds dispersed and the bright moon appeared in the sky, and the water withered and the pearl appeared."

Yun Zhongzi's answer made King Zhou very satisfied, and he quickly asked the palace officials to give Yun Zhongzi a seat.

After Yun Zhongzi sat down, King Zhou asked Yun Zhongzi: "What is the purpose of Taoist Master coming here this time?"

Yun Zhongzi told King Zhou everything about the discovery of evil spirit in Chaoge City.

After hearing this, King Zhou burst out laughing.

"I live in Chaoge City, a deep palace compound, and a tight confinement. Where do the monsters come from?"

"Sir, are you mistaken?"

Yun Zhongzi waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, if you knew about this monster, she would naturally not dare to come. She is just afraid that if you don't recognize the monster, she will take the opportunity to bewitch you."

"I have a wooden sword made from pine wood. It can be placed in the palace to ward off evil spirits."

After saying that, Yun Zhongzi handed the wooden sword to King Zhou.

After seeing it, King Zhou was doubtful and asked Yun Zhongzi: "Where is this wooden sword placed?"

Yun Zhongzi said, just put it in the branch palace building, and you will see the results within three days.

King Zhou asked the palace servants to hang the wooden sword in the branch palace building.

Seeing that the wooden sword had been hung up, Yun Zhongzi quickly stood up, waved his big sleeves, and left Chaoge City through the Meridian Gate.

After Yun Zhongzi left, King Zhou felt tired and returned to the harem again.

When King Zhou came to the gate of Shouxian Palace, Daji was not there to greet him, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

King Zhou called a palace official at random and asked him why the Sumei people did not come to pick him up.

The palace man replied that Su Su was accidentally infected with a serious illness and was bedridden.

This frightened King Zhou, who had always doted on Daji, and hurriedly entered the palace to check on Su Daji.

As soon as King Zhou entered the door, he saw Su Daji lying on the bed, her face was pale, there was no blood on her lips, she was groggy, her breath was weak, and she was about to die.

When King Zhou saw this, he was shocked. He grabbed Daji and asked, "I was fine when I went to work in the morning. How come I became so sick in such a short period of time?"

What King Zhou didn't know was that Daji's illness was caused by the wooden sword given by Yun Zhongzi.

The wooden sword given by Yun Zhongzi has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. This Daji is a thousand-year-old vixen. How can she not be dying after being suppressed by a Taoist magic weapon?

Su Daji opened her eyes, groaned, and slowly said to King Zhou: "Your Majesty, when I went to greet you at noon, I walked to the branch palace building. When I looked up and saw a sword hanging high, I broke out in a cold sweat. , I got sick when I came back.”

"I think it's because my life is too short and I can't serve His Majesty for a long time."

When King Zhou heard this, he told Daji everything that Yun Zhongzi had said to him.

Then, King Zhou ordered the palace people to take down the wooden sword given by Yun Zhongzi and burn it with fire.

Now, another chance to save King Zhou's country was wasted in the hands of King Zhou.
