Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 625: Cutting Wood into Weapons, Xiaochishui River

"Your Majesty, with the hopes and people of West Kunlun, it is not difficult to establish a country." Bao Si spoke again. "Moreover, relying on words to consolidate a country is ultimately unstable. Your Majesty should eliminate the trouble as soon as possible."

"Are there any future consequences?" After continuous persuasion and questioning, Ji Gong Yan also felt a little unhappy.

King Mu's plan to borrow the power of West Kunlun was an idea he came up with after he learned that a saint was about to be achieved in West Kunlun.

It seems that this method is a risky move, but in fact, it does have greater benefits than disadvantages. This can be said to be the most proud move he has made since he ascended the throne.

But now, Bao Si was in front of him, questioning his actions again and again. How could Ji Gongyan, the King of Men, be satisfied?

Before he knew it, Ji Gongyan had already stood up, left the palace, and went to another concubine's place.

But halfway through the journey, his anger subsided, and he could not help but recall that Bao Si was not questioning his strategy, but was just worried about the consequences of his strategy and was afraid of the power of West Kunlun in the legend.

"After all, she is a fairy, and she doesn't know how powerful the human race is. It is understandable that she would feel scared under the shadow of West Kunlun." Ji Gongyan thought of Bao Si's frowning and worried look, and his heart softened again. Finally, he turned around again and went to Bao Si's palace.

In the palace, Ji Gongyin left in anger, but Bao Si was not angry. She just kept frowning, wondering from which direction Ao Bing would plan to attack King Ji Zhou.

The matter of King Mu's biography was too big to be resolved, and even Ao Bing could not let the several great masters of West Kunlun and the Queen Mother of the West know about it before it was resolved.

But this also shows that Ao Bing will definitely resolve this matter at all costs before the Queen Mother of the West comes out of seclusion, and he will do it as quickly as possible to avoid causing any major impact on the Queen Mother of the West - and, since Ao Bing paid one of the thirty-six days as a price to make her come to Haojing, it proves that Ao Bing is actually planning to take action against the King of Ji Zhou.

First, she ruled out the possibility of assassination.

Although Ao Bing is extremely powerful and well-known throughout the world, he has always acted in an upright and impressive manner.

Ao Bing would definitely not use such a shady method as using the existence of the Heavenly Fox to weaken the humanitarian spirit of Haojing and then assassinating the Human King who was protected by the humanitarian spirit after the humanitarian spirit was weakened.

In this way, the method of killing by curse can also be ruled out.

After all, if Ji Gongyan died from the curse, the noise would be too small to have any effect and people would not know about it. This was a rumor spread by Ao Bing representing Xi Kunlun to punish Ji Gongyan.

"War!" After thinking for a long time, Bao Si finally determined Ao Bing's method.

The Sky Foxes are well versed in human nature, and naturally know how difficult it is to dispel such gossips - the harder they try to dispel them, the more other, more confusing rumors will arise.

This is an extremely rare rumor that cannot be dealt with by refuting it. The best way to deal with such a rumor is to punish!
Give the rumormonger enough punishment, let other people in the world know that this person has been punished, so that the rumor will be debunked - although afterwards, there will be some people who will weave some variations of the rumor, but they are already very few and it is difficult to cause any impact.

The way to make everyone else in the world know without any publicity is naturally war.

But when this doubt was figured out, new doubts arose.

War requires soldiers, civilians, and famous weapons.

Xi Kunlun is inhabited by immortal gods, and the Human King is a mortal - Ao Bing wanted to use war to punish Ji Zhou's Human King, so he could only use mortals as soldiers.

"A certain vassal state that is dissatisfied with Haojing." Bao Si thought, and began to list the vassal states in the world - it didn't matter how strong or weak they were, as long as they were dissatisfied with Haojing, their names would be listed by Bao Si.

She knew very well that the strength of those vassal states meant nothing to Ao Bing.

Ao Bing has too many cards in his hand!

He can use the resources of heaven.

He can use the dragon clan’s heritage.

He can also make use of the heritage of West Kunlun.

In addition, there is the Forty-Nine Heavens Realm that he opened up himself.

Just using any one of them can bring out endless wealth and weapons.

With such huge wealth and weapons, even the weakest vassal state could be transformed into a conquering monster in an instant under such armament.

It would have been better if she had ignored it. Once she paid attention to it, Bao Si realized that the list she had made was actually a long one - almost every vassal state that existed on the earth today had conflicts with Haojing and the royal family of Ji Zhou.

As for the human race, which wanted to pass on all its hatred until the enemy was completely destroyed, Bao Si dared to guarantee that the princes of the vassal states he listed would definitely remember clearly the losses or humiliations their ancestors had suffered in Haojing...

"However, the most likely candidate is still the State of Chu." Bao Si's face became more and more worried.

Among the vassal states that had conflicts with the royal family, Chu was undoubtedly the most prominent.

They are powerful, cold-tempered, and do not hide their dissatisfaction with Haojing at all.

Among many theories, the State of Chu, as a vassal state of the human race, had some connections with the demon race - and Bao Si knew that this theory was true.

Emperor Xin arrogantly wanted to accept the demon race and make it a part of the human race, and make the demons a tribe under the human system, just like the Jiuli tribe.

Although he failed, his ideals have been passed down.

Both King Wen and King Wu were farsighted as Emperor Xin, so they could see how the human race would be improved if they could accept the demon race and consume the demon race in such a gentle way. Moreover, as long as they could consume the demon race and completely accept everything about the demon race, then the human race would be able to find strength from their own bodies and bloodlines like the demon race. The human race would have more choices and a fairer opportunity to face the immortals and gods.

Therefore, although the tyrant merchants were destroyed, the human race's attempts to accept the demon race have never stopped.

The State of Chu was the attempt continued by the human race.

They have always had close ties and cooperation with the faction among the demon race that is close to the human race, which is also the faction that was once influenced by Daji.

While the State of Chu gained enormous benefits from this cooperation, the demon tribes that cooperated with them also gained great benefits.

Given the wonderful relationship between Ao Bing and the demon clan, and Ao Bing's current status and influence, if he is willing to extend a hand to those demon clans that are close to the State of Chu, those demon clans will definitely be willing to hold Ao Bing's hand and move closer to him.

And if these monsters get closer to Ao Bing, it means that the State of Chu will also get closer to Ao Bing.

……

"Can we fight these Rong people?" Ao Bing appeared beside Li Nu.

Whether they are the Rong people or the Di people, they are all mortals who were expelled by Ji Gongyan, and if their bloodlines are traced back, they can be traced back to the ancient Western Di.

That is, the mortals who once lived in the land ruled by West Kunlun. What the ancient Xidi people worshipped was West Kunlun.

Therefore, now, the Li girl who came from West Kunlun has played a very effective role in gathering these expelled Rongdi people.

The Rongdi people, who were driven out and scattered across the grassland in the form of many small tribes, gathered together again under the banner of the White Tiger and became a huge tribe.

Under the banner of the white tiger, some small tribes chose totems such as the gray wolf and white eagle as their own symbols to enhance the cohesion of the tribe.

"These Rongdi people have no land, so it is difficult for them to produce. If they want to survive, they can only hunt."

"Struggle with the wind and rain, and live next to tigers and wolves in the wilderness."

"With the weak being eliminated, those who can survive are naturally the strong ones."

"But a little."

"Haojing has a strong city and armored soldiers, but the Rongdi tribe only has a strong courage, no armor, and no weapons. It is impossible to rely on them to capture Haojing."

"Unless we can take the magic iron from West Kunlun to forge weapons for them." said Li Nu.

"No!" Ao Bing said without hesitation.

It was one thing for them to instigate the Rongdi tribe to attack Haojing, but it was another thing for them to directly take out weapons and armor from West Kunlun to equip these Rongdi tribes.

Just from King Mu's report on this matter, it is possible that someone was plotting against the Queen Mother of the West in secret - if they directly took out weapons and armor to equip the Rongdi and support them in breaking through Haojing, then the people hiding in the dark would inevitably cause greater trouble.

What's more, if they wanted to arm these Rongdi with weapons and armor, they would have to continue to teach them more skills, such as smelting, land reclamation and so on.

By then, their aura will be completely integrated into the Rongdi people's heritage and become a part of Rongdi culture. It is possible that they will be bound by these Rongdi.

What if, the next generation, or the human king of a later generation, suddenly pulls the Rongdi into their humanitarian sequence again? Then, wouldn’t they, who are bound, be implicated themselves in an instant?
"Senior Sister, the Rongdi people are still human beings!"

“They are just tools.”

"Once we conquer Haojing, these tools will have nothing to do with us."

"Don't get too involved with these tools."

"But if they don't have armor and weapons, they will just be slaughtered and impeached to capture Haojing when they arrive in front of it?"

"If you don't have a weapon, what's the harm in chopping wood to make a weapon?"

"Senior sister, have you forgotten how the Di people in King Wen's time obtained their weapons?"

"Xiao Chishui!" Li Nu said in surprise.

There, are memories that belong exclusively to her and Ao Bing.

It was also at Xiaochishui that she and Ao Bing worked together to complete the first creation in history.

That is the spiritual herb that can absorb and exhale the energy of gold and iron - the spiritual herb called Tiger Claw and Dragon Fang.

It is also the cornerstone of a new ecological environment in Xiaochishui.

"Xiao Chishui, is it still flowing?" said Li Nu.

As one of the few waters without roots and sources between heaven and earth, the existence of Xiaochishui actually has inherent deficiencies. After the war between Shang and Zhou, the world changed several times, which can be said to be earth-shaking. Li Nu always thought that the corner of Xiaochishui had turned into nothingness between the changes of heaven and earth. Moreover, when King Mu was on an expedition, he also crossed the Xiaochishui basin. If Xiaochishui was still there, it would have fallen into the control of the Ji Zhou royal family.

But from what Ao Bing said, the small red water was still there, and had already transformed from rootless water into a river with a source?
"After the war between Shang and Zhou, when the human race was expanding to all directions, Zhan Ling, as the river god, cast a spell to conceal the existence of Xiao Chishui, hiding it underground and turning it into an underground river."

"Afterwards, mountains rose above the underground river, and the existence of Little Red Water was completely hidden."

“But Xiao Chishui has always existed.” Ao Bing pinched a mark in his hand.

That was the mark that Zhan Ling, the river god of Xiaochishui, gave to Ao Bing when he became the god of water.

At this time, the mark is still there, so the river god Zhan Ling is naturally still alive - Zhan Ling is still alive, so Xiao Chi Shui is naturally still there.

"Until now, Zhan Ling has not yet achieved Taiyi."

"I think his life span is about to come to an end."

Ao Bing sighed.

Although Zhan Ling is his 'follower god', with the freedom of life and death, in reality, Ao Bing only provides these follower gods with safe shelter and does not have any demands on them - in fact, as a follower god of Ao Bing, Zhan Ling's life is actually very good.

Not only Zhan Ling, but Ao Bing's other subordinate god, the prisoner spirit guarding Xiyue's prison of death, was also living a good life.

Looking at the entire Xiyue area, under the coverage of the palace of Xiyue Emperor, Qiu Ling is the only one who does not have to worship Xiyue Emperor regularly, nor does he have to make regular offerings. At the same time, Xiyue Emperor must provide him with protection.

……

"Qiu Ling, hello to the God." When Ao Bing and Li Nu reappeared in the small red water flowing underground, Zhan Ling, who was guarding there, bowed to Ao Bing with great joy.

Just as Ao Bing said, after ten thousand years, the river god who guards Xiaochishui is about to reach the end of his life - signs of old age are evident on his body, and the breath of the underworld is also looming in his breath.

"Chen Fang from Youshan Sword Sect pays homage to Lord Chongyi Zhentian." Next to the gloomy underground river, another immortal also bowed to Ao Bing.

"Who is this?" Ao Bing's gaze fell on the immortal next to him. He was just a celestial immortal.

However, Ao Bing was somewhat surprised by the self-proclaimed origins of this celestial being.

He didn't even know that there was a sword sect beside the Xiaochi River.

"My Lord, the Youshan Sword Sect is a sword sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It was the sect inherited by the old Taoist who once suppressed the Suobing Mountain." Zhan Ling took out a short sword.
