Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 230 Xiqi Rumors, Lingzhuzi Reincarnation
Chentangguan.

Over hundreds of years, under Bai Mi's unintentional guidance, Yin Shiniang's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and she successfully became a martial arts immortal.

Li Jing also benefited from it and entered the long-dreamed-of heavenly realm. His lifespan, magic power, and supernatural powers all increased greatly.

Because of this, he was extremely grateful to Bai Mi, had a favorable impression of the immortals of the Guixu lineage, and his relationship with Yin Shiniang became increasingly close.

Over the past hundred years, Li Jing was extremely obedient to Yin Shiniang, and the couple worked together to not only manage Chentang Pass in an orderly manner, but also gave birth to two sons - Jinzha and Muzha.

Not long after they were born, two great immortals from the Chan school arrived one after another, namely Manjusri Bodhisattva from Yunxiao Cave in Wulong Mountain, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva from Baihe Cave in Jiugong Mountain.

Both of them are genuine Daluo Golden Immortals, and are direct disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun. Even among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Teaching, they are very powerful and quite impressive.

Li Jing's master was the Western Kunlun cultivator - Du'e Zhenren.

True Man Du'e has a wide range of friends. He not only has a good relationship with the immortals of the Jiejiao, but also has a close relationship with the immortals of East Kunlun, including the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chenjiao.

Because of this connection, Li Jing warmly entertained Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra, and learned that they wanted to accept Jinzha and Muzha as their disciples.

Li Jing behaved extremely strangely. He did not show the surprise that the two Daluo Jinxians had imagined, nor did he agree immediately. Instead, he looked hesitant.

After some questioning, he told the truth.

"I dare not hide it from you two seniors. The two fairies Qiongxiao and Bixiao from Guixu have already expressed their intention to accept disciples. I hope you two seniors understand."

Looking at the grim expressions of Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra, Li Jing felt mixed emotions, both happy and frightened.

He was naturally happy because his eldest and second sons attracted the fight among the saint's disciples, which made him proud of his two sons.

He knows that his two children have a bright future and will go further than he, the father, in the future.

He was terrified because he had only two sons. If he agreed to one of them, he would have to reject the other, and would inevitably offend the saint's disciple on one of them.

Although Jiejiao is also a good choice, everything should be based on first come first served, as the Guixu lineage said in advance.

In addition, because of the white rice, Li Jing and his wife had a better impression of the Guixu lineage.

Naturally, he had nothing to say about how to make the decision.

After listening to Li Jing's description, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra sighed helplessly.

They are indeed disciples of saints. Even creatures with higher cultivation than them need to show them enough respect when they meet them.

However, compared with the Guixu lineage, they are slightly inferior in terms of their own cultivation, overall strength, and prestige in the prehistoric world.

Compared with Qiongxiao and Bixiao, they have no advantage at all.

Even if it is a fair competition, they are likely to be defeated by each other.

What's more, Qiongxiao and Bixiao greeted them earlier than them.

In desperation, Samantabhadra and Manjusri could only return in disappointment and had to choose suitable disciples again in the human territory.

……

Chentang Pass is not far from Guixu, so Huang Long naturally could not hide this matter from him.

Naturally, he had no objection to Jin Zha and Mu Zha joining the Guixu lineage.

The two of them have decent qualifications. Although they cannot be compared with innate creatures, they are still considered to be at a medium level within the human race.

More importantly, Jin Zha and Mu Zha are both people who are destined to suffer calamity. Even though their importance is not as great as Nezha and Yang Jian, they also have some luck and are stronger than Huang Tianhua and Tuxingsun.

They joined the Guixu lineage, which meant they did not disgrace their status as second-generation disciples.

If he is taught carefully, after the great calamity of Conferred Gods is over, he will surely reach the peak of Golden Immortal cultivation. If he is lucky and has many opportunities, he may also become Taiyi Golden Immortal.

After the catastrophe is over and they return to Guixu to digest what they have gained, the two brothers will have a chance to become Golden Immortals, and they will also be able to support the reputation of the second generation of disciples of Guixu lineage.

At the same time, Chaoge City.

The saying that Qilin appeared in Xiqi and that destiny lies in the west and is destined to rule the world gradually spread to the capital.

For a dynasty, public opinion has always been a very important part.

Such rebellious remarks will obviously lead to instability in public opinion, and in serious cases, it may even threaten the stability of Dashang.

In view of this, civil officials and military generals entered the palace one after another to discuss the matter at the court meeting.

In the court, Emperor Xin was dressed in gorgeous clothes and sat at the head of the table.

Looking at the ministers arguing over whether to send troops to the west, Emperor Xin remained silent and allowed the ministers to express their opinions freely.

"Your Majesty first gave Ji Chang many precious documents to help him establish the Feng Shui theory, and then conferred him the title of Emperor Wenchang. Your kindness to Xiqi is as great as a mountain, but Xiqi is not satisfied. I propose that we raise an army to attack Xiqi!"

"I second your proposal. Even if Xiqi's reputation has been growing day by day in recent years and it has become the leader of the eight hundred princes, it is still easy for us, the Great Shang, to destroy Xiqi!"

"I feel that this matter is a bit strange. Xiqi has always been law-abiding, and your majesty has been very kind to Xiqi. Our Shang Dynasty is also strong in military and horses. How could Xiqi do such an unwise thing?"

"I also think this matter is a little strange. Even if Xiqi has evil ambitions, he should not be so stupid as to announce this matter everywhere. Isn't this digging his own grave?"

"Regardless of whether this is true or not, if such rumors are allowed to spread, it will definitely affect the people's hearts and become a threat to the Shang Dynasty. I propose that Xiqi Bo Yikao be summoned to the court for questioning."

"What is there to ask? If Xiqi didn't have something to hide, how could there be such a rumor, and how could he let it spread?"

The civil and military officials in the court argued endlessly, and finally, they turned their attention to Emperor Xin.

No matter how fiercely they argued, the final decision could only be made by Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin had heard about the rumors about Xiqi a long time ago, but he did not take them too seriously. As for how to deal with it, he already had an idea.

"No need to worry, no need to argue, I will make my own decision on this matter."

"No matter whether this rumor originated from Xiqi or not, and no matter whether Xiqi has any rebellious intentions, as long as the strength of the Shang Dynasty continues to grow, the princes will never have the courage to rebel."

"If Xiqi behaves itself, and my Shang Dynasty sends troops to attack them just because of some rumors, it will only force Xiqi to rebel, and end up making things worse."

"If Xiqi really has rebellious intentions, this move will play into their hands and give them a reason to rebel."

Having said this, his tone paused slightly, and then his expression became serious.

"Of course, this matter cannot be ignored. Since the protagonist of this rumor is Xiqi, let Bo Yikao find the source of the rumor himself."

"If Xiqi really has rebellious intentions, then don't blame the Shang Dynasty for being ruthless!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Naturally, the ministers had no objection to Emperor Xin's order.

Even those who advocated war felt that this approach was fine.

At the same time, Emperor Xin also ordered to focus on training the Shang Dynasty's military strength and preparing food, fodder, and elixirs.

He knew that this matter would not come out of nowhere. Even if Xiqi did not have any ill intentions, other princes would be unable to sit still.

If there is a rebellion among the princes, advance preparation can help the Shang Dynasty reduce some of its losses.

……

Time flies, but years never stop.

Under Emperor Xin's order to mobilize a large number of troops, the strength of the Shang Dynasty increased rapidly, increasing several times in just a few decades.

Not to mention anything else, there are thousands more martial arts immortals!
As time passed, the gap between the eight hundred princes and them became larger and larger, and even Xiqi was far behind.

Not only that, the living standards of the people in Dashang have also improved by a lot, business is booming, and life is comfortable.

During this period, Emperor Xin ordered people to invite Su Daji into Chaoge City.

However, Emperor Xin did not allow Daji to enter the palace as a concubine, but instead arranged her to study at the Academy of Literature.

He saw some special luck in this woman and planned to cultivate her carefully, which might become a special means to deal with Xiqi in the future.

After all, not only was Bo Yikao deeply in love with Su Daji, but with this handle in his hand, he might be able to use it to control Xiqi.

Even if Daji was useless, just based on her luck, she was worthy of Emperor Xin's attention.

In addition, Yin Shiniang became pregnant again two years ago.

After Emperor Xin learned about this, he rewarded him with a lot of supplements. Although he didn't know about Nezha, Huang Long had once instructed him to befriend Li Jing's family.

In that case, if Yin Shiniang wants to give birth to her third child, he will naturally give her a gift.

On the one hand, it can show that you are courteous to others, and on the other hand, it can also improve your favorability.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long was also paying attention to Nezha. If Emperor Xin didn’t know about Nezha, how could he not know about it?

With the memories of a time traveler, he could have accepted Nezha as his disciple.

But after some thought, he gave up the idea.

Finally, he watched Nezha being accepted as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren without any intention of stopping him.

The reason is very simple, Nezha is different from Jinzha and Muzha.

He was born with the intention of killing and had a bad temper, but he was an expert at causing trouble.

Of course, Huang Long was not afraid of Nezha causing trouble. He couldn't cause any trouble near Guixu.

I'm afraid that Hongjun Daozu is secretly taking advantage of Nezha's bold, reckless, young and ignorant character to cause trouble.

For this big guy, the Conferred God Tribulation is the last chance to realize the supremacy of the Heavenly Dao.

Once it fails, the ancient world can only evolve according to the path of the three elements advancing simultaneously.

Facing the desperate Hongjun Daozu, even Huang Long had to take it seriously.

The more important reason is that Nezha is the protagonist of the Conferred God Tribulation and the vanguard of the divine mission to attack the Shang Dynasty.

If Nezha was taken into Guixu and joined the Shang Dynasty, it might eventually lead to a deviation in the Conferred God Tribulation.

If he cannot destroy the heaven and earth during the Conferred God Tribulation, it will not be a good thing for Huang Long.

In addition, Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi, representing Nuwa's attitude towards the way of heaven.

According to the agreement between Huanglong and Nuwa, he could not take her back to Guixu.

It is based on these reasons that Huang Long made such a choice.

……

Splendid Sky, Wa Palace.

After sensing Nezha's birth and his successful acceptance into the Chan sect, Saint Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly.

"It's finally starting!"

A hundred years ago, Yuanshi Tianzun came to the door in accordance with the will of heaven.

It shows that he wants Lingzhuzi from Nuwa Palace to come down to earth, reincarnate as a human, serve as the vanguard in the attack on Shang, and start the great calamity of Conferred Gods.

Nuwa did not refuse this.

On the one hand, the reason is that the Conferred God Tribulation is bound to take place. She cannot stop it, and no one can stop it.

On the other hand, Lingzhuzi is an innate spiritual bead that has taken shape. It has a good foundation and has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation.

If one can experience the great calamity of Conferred Gods, one can achieve Daluo Jinxian after the calamity.

Since the Conferred God Tribulation cannot be stopped, then just give Lingzhuzi a better future.

It is for this reason that Nezha came into being.

The reason why Nuwa chose Li Jing and Yin Shiniang as Nezha's parents is because they are destined to be together.

Of course, the more important point is that these two people are also Huang Long’s men.

After all, the Conferred Gods are a catastrophe that contains endless dangers. Even a Golden Immortal may be in danger of falling if he is not careful, let alone the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi.

Her idea was very simple. She hoped that when Lingzhuzi was in danger, Huanglong would help Nezha because of their relationship.

But she didn't expect that Li Jing and his wife had a good relationship with Guixu, and Jinzha and Muzha also became Guixu's disciples.

Huang Long actually handed over Nezha, who had the best foundation and the strongest luck, to Taiyi Zhenren and allowed him to be accepted as his disciple.

Although she was puzzled, she did not ask any more questions.

No matter who took the Lingzhu away, the cause and effect connection with Nuwa cannot be severed, because they are all from the Nuwa Palace.

I guess Huang Long also thought of this and didn't do anything unnecessary.

Either...

It was because of that transaction!
In addition, Nuwa's position on this calamity of conferring the gods had already been determined.

It is impossible for her to make any changes just because Nezha was accepted as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren.

In order to better achieve her goal, she flicked her finger lightly, and a drop of blood flew out, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and fell into the body of a little girl.

This little girl's talent is average, but the blood essence of the saint is so mysterious that it is enough to transform a person completely.

Under the influence of this drop of essence and blood, the girl's qualifications and comprehension improved rapidly, and she even became a descendant of Nuwa's bloodline.

And this only consumed a tiny fraction of the power of this drop of essence and blood.

As the little girl's cultivation level improves, the power of her essence and blood will be gradually absorbed by her, which is enough to support her in becoming a quasi-saint!

This girl was recognized by Nuwa herself as her descendant and was given the name Ling'er.

In terms of background and luck, Ling'er is no inferior to any member of the human race.

This is the gift that Nuwa gave to the human race and the entire humanity.

Her behavior also shows her position.

She doesn't want the Way of Heaven to be supreme. What she wants is for the three elements of heaven, earth and man to coexist. She wants the human race to be able to stand up straight and not have to act according to the will of Heaven!

When Nuwa's descendants were born, Huang Long felt the same as the other Five Saints of Heaven, and they had different reactions to it.

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Saint Taiqing was not too surprised by Nuwa's choice.

As early as the great catastrophe of the human race, Nuwa expressed her appreciation for the human race, so it is not surprising that she chose the three talents to coexist.

East Kunlun, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly and snorted coldly.

When Nuwa agreed to Lingzhuzi's reincarnation, he thought Nuwa had the same idea as him.

Unexpectedly, Nuwa agreed to Lingzhuzi's reincarnation only because she was unable to stop the calamity of the Conferred Gods, not because she wanted to see the scene of the supremacy of the Heavenly Dao.

Mount Sumeru, the Pure Land.

It is a pity for the two saints of the West. If Ling'er could become a disciple of the Western Religion, he would surely be able to contribute to the prosperity of the Western Religion.

Unfortunately, all this was destined to be out of his reach.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long shook his head and sighed. Nuwa expressed her opinion too quickly.

However, this is not a bad thing.

At least in the memory of the time traveler, there was no birth of Ling'er, a girl's descendant.

The greater the discrepancy between events and the time traveler's memories, the greater his chances of winning, and the smaller the possibility that Heaven's Way will prevail.

With the help of Nuwa's descendants, and with the improvement of the Shang Dynasty over the years, there will definitely be many changes in the upcoming Conferred God Tribulation.
