Chapter 659: Elephant in the Cloud
"Someone is peeping at the lonely king from a high place." The king of Chu looked wary and looked around, as if he was an old man patrolling his territory.
Being a prince and ruling a party does not mean that you will die - every powerful prince on this earth has been assassinated more than once.
Some of those assassins are warriors from the human world, and some are immortals and gods from the sky. Some of the reasons for their assassinations are to target the vassal states, and some are just Some of them were motivated by a momentary desire, but they were just simple, wanting to cause some chaos between heaven and earth.
“Perhaps some great god fell from the clouds.” A priest wearing a mysterious cloud robe and a mysterious mask appeared from the side of the king of Chu, stirring up the various clouds in Luoyi City, and brought the The swaying and scattered clouds have turned into my own ears and eyes. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is the King's City of Humanity, where princes and human kings gather. If anyone here dares to assassinate, then the whole world will be in chaos."
The priest calmed down and forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart - Yunzhongjun is the 'righteous god' recognized by humanity, and he is Yunzhongjun's priest, controlling the wind and clouds between heaven and earth, like a messenger assistant.
If it were in the countryside, there might be immortals and gods who could compete with him for the control of the wind and cloud, but under the cover of this humane energy, no immortal god could compete with him. The priests who control and can surpass their Yunzhongjun.
However, he had just triggered the secret spell of Lord Yun Zhong, and used this secret spell to connect the wind and cloud in the city, using the wind and cloud as his eyes and ears, but the response that the wind and cloud brought to him was extremely terrible. obscure.
It was as if he had met the real master who was in charge of the situation.
“But how is this possible?”
"The authority of Lord Yun Zhong is recognized by both heaven and man. Who in this world has more authority than Lord Yun Zhong in this world?"
The priest pondered and put this feeling into perspective. Although the news in Yun Zhong's response was obscure, there was no malicious or dangerous signal in it.
Wind and cloud, wind and rain, have never been separated from each other - if there is another great god who can control the wind and cloud and can induce wind and rain, and sets his sights on Chu State, then for Chu State, it can be said that A real good thing.
“The ancient gods are also sacred sages.”
“Since the king has come to Luoyi to seek sages, why not also try to invite those gods?”
The priest said to the king of Chu.
“A fairy?” The King of Chu’s eyes seemed to have fallen outside the city.
In the eyes of other princes, Chu State has an image of being brave and fierce, but in fact, the temperament of the king of Chu State is not like this.
"The fighting abilities of those great gods outside the city are impressive. If they can fall into the battle formation and match the battle formation, they can indeed add infinite power to the army."
"But since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the separation of gods and humans has become more and more obvious."
"The gods want to intervene in the human military formation, and the method is becoming more and more difficult to find."
"If you let them take the initiative to intervene, most of them will not be willing."
"But they cannot intervene in the military. In order to kill them, their existence can only be described as bravery and ruthlessness - no one who has been worshiped by the Chu Kingdom in the past can do this. "
The king of the Chu Kingdom said extremely soberly.
In the past, the immortals and gods took everything from the human world, and the human world was naturally in awe of the immortals and gods.
But after the stability of the Heavenly Court, the laws of the Heavenly Court became increasingly strict. Especially after Ji Zhou, the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court first wanted to interfere in the human world. If they wanted to bring disasters to the human world, it became more and more difficult and the risks became greater—— Coupled with the aura of humanity that enveloped the human world, as well as the 'karma' held by human kings and princes, the awe of immortals and gods in the world naturally dissipated little by little.
To this day, in the eyes of those princes, even the power of the Taiyi Immortals and Gods may not be as useful as those ordinary practitioners who can move and regulate water vapor according to orders.
"Your Majesty, the ruler of Yunzhong controls the celestial phenomena, and the ruler of Xiang controls the water flow - but the wind, rain and rivers are also controlled by Sidu Longting."
"The transformation of gods and men. Whether it's Yunzhong Jun or Xiang Jun, there will definitely be disputes between them and Sidu."
"Once this dispute breaks out, Chu will be the first to bear the brunt."
"As for the immortal gods who spread the law in the human world, even if they have no friendship with Sidu Longting, they still have their own uniqueness in fighting and fighting."
"With them here, when the time comes we and There can also be some twists and turns between Sidu Longting. "
"Moreover, if anyone among them has an outing in Kuangkuang and has a relationship with Sidu Longting, the matter between Yunzhongjun and Xiangjun. , maybe there is another solution."
"That's fine." The king of Chu thought for a moment and nodded.
The national conditions of Chu State are completely different from those of other vassal states, and under the blockade of other vassal states, Chu State also has its own talent training system.
To be honest, Chu's need for wise men is not as strong as that of other vassal states. There are three reasons why Chu also comes to seek wise men.
First, they want to "join the community" with other vassal states so as not to be targeted collectively again.
Secondly, there is a two-pronged approach if there is no Zaoer - just in case the wise man they asked for really understands the situation in Chu State and can coordinate the corresponding national policy in Chu State. Woolen cloth?
The third is to suppress other vassal states.
There are always countless talents in heaven and earth. If I invite one more, you will invite one less. If I invite someone to Chu State, even if he does not work for me, he will not work for me. You work...
It is precisely for this reason that Chu's way of seeking talents in Luoyi is particularly "eclectic".
But after the priest's words, the attention of the King of Chu suddenly fell from the sages to the immortals.
Perhaps, as the priest said, the most important thing for Chu State at present is to invite an immortal god who can suppress the situation back - other princes are envious of Chu State and have been paying attention to it from generation to generation. Can produce a strong king.
But only the Chu State knew that their strong and powerful king was forced to do so.
The unique situation of Chu State is doomed. If its king is not strong enough and cannot control the situation, he will be blown to pieces under that dangerous situation, along with Chu State.
Under such a situation, the kings of Chu State could not help but be strong.
......
"The shaman of Yunzhongjun came to visit the god." When the king of Chu's attention turned from people to gods, Chu The envoys from the country got their wish and found Ao Bing's whereabouts.
Although Ao Bing's identity is still unclear, among the Chu Kingdom, the sacrificial witches who are comparable to other countries' Qin Tian Jianzheng are still extremely respectful and lower their heads in front of Ao Bing.
“Yun Zhongjun’s witch sacrifice?” Ao Bing looked at the visitor.
Witches are a very ancient existence - when the human race as a whole was still in ignorance, witches were the medium of communication between humans and gods.
Up until the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were still many shamans walking around the world, offering various sacrifices to the immortals and gods.
When Emperor Xin abolished human sacrifice and blood sacrifice, the witch priests also abandoned Emperor Xin and fell into the arms of Ji Zhou.
Unfortunately, after Ji Zhou, not only were the witch priests not taken seriously, but they quickly perished under the pressure of the immortals and gods. But who would have thought that under the special situation of Chu State, the disappeared shaman sacrifice would reappear?
"Who is Yunzhongjun?" Ao Bing felt the power of the sacrificial witch in front of him.
Magnificent, powerful, ethereal, and difficult to fathom—but there is no clear core inside.
Under the ancient mythological system of Chu land, the power of Lord Yun Zhong has appeared, but the real Lord Yun Zhong himself has not been born.
In other words, the sacrificial witch of Yun Zhongjun in front of me is not actually the sacrificial witch of Yun Zhongjun, but the sacrificial witch who carries the power of Yun Zhongjun.
Under Ao Bing's perception, the essence of Yun Zhongjun's power was also dismantled bit by bit - it was also the power of the immortal god, but Yun Zhongjun's power and But now the power of the immortals and gods is walking on two completely different lines.
The power of normal immortals and gods is otherworldly, contrary to human nature, and repels the energy of human nature.
Ke Yunzhongjun’s power was born from the human realm. Its existence is like the communication between the magical power of immortals and the energy of human beings. It has the essence of the magical power of immortals, but it is not Suppressed by the Qi of Humanity - But on the other hand, the nature of its power is also affected by the Qi of Humanity, and will rise and fall with the rise and fall of Humanity.
It's like, this is the hub connecting immortals and mortals.
"The God of Humanity?" In a daze, such a name appeared in Ao Bing's mind.
This is a god born from the mythology system of the human race with the help of the energy of humanity - because the mythology system of the human race refers to the origins of some immortal gods, therefore, the existence of this god of humanity, and Certain immortals and gods have corresponding responses.
At the same time, because it was born from the energy of humanity, its combination with humanity is even closer.
As one of the gods who governs the rules of heaven, Ao Bing can clearly detect that the nature of this human god named Yunzhongjun is clearly biased towards mortals and is not subject to the rules of heaven. bound.
When he realized this essence, Ao Bing's thoughts seemed to be stagnated by this.
Mortals and immortals, humanity and heaven, originally influence each other.
But now, between heaven and earth, between the gods and the earth, there is the existence of the god of humanity - and this god of humanity is affected by humanity, but not controlled by the rules of heaven.
what does that mean?
If martial arts and the ways of those sages are an exploration of the human race's own power system, then the system of the God of Humanity is undoubtedly a finished product of the human race's own power system.
It is the embodiment of the human race spreading its power from man to heaven and earth.
In just a moment, Ao Bing was keenly aware of the influence this matter would have on heaven and earth.
“Human race, you are really good at grooming!”
The situation between heaven and earth has always been unstable.
Ao Bing knows that there has always been an undercurrent in the ladder to heaven—immortals, beings who attribute great power to themselves.
What they pursue is freedom, freedom and Tao.
But between heaven and earth, all the gods and gods are bound by the rules of the sky - under the rules of the sky, the gods and gods obviously have incomparable power, but there are many things that cannot be done. It is difficult to feel at ease and move as one pleases.
In fact, many immortals and gods will in turn be hijacked by mortals.
There are even some who have to give up their freedom, as if they were imprisoned, to suppress some kind of sinister immortal god somewhere.
In fact, it is not only necessary to suppress some kind of evil within the world, but also to go outside the territory to fight for the sake of heaven and earth, and to fight for mortals.
Why?
Everyone curbs greed, restrains desires, and practices hard. When the practice reaches the end, will we face such an immediate ending and fate?
Why?
Therefore, these immortals and gods have always had grievances against Heaven - although everyone knows that this is a sacrifice and contribution that has to be made to make heaven and earth better, but why is this sacrifice and contribution? I? Why me?
It is true that heaven is tyrannical and we cannot afford to offend heaven’s rules, but if we can’t afford to offend them, why can’t we hide from them?
For example, the star kings in the sky seem to be high above, in the same row as the stars, immortal and undestructible, and will not be involved in disasters. They can be said to be eternally happy - but in fact, the movement of the stars, It has its own trajectory, and at the same time, the existence of stars also corresponds to the various changes between heaven and earth.
If the heaven and earth are compared to a living being, then the stars are one of the acupoints of this living being. Once the heaven and earth are different, the stars will also show extremely drastic changes.
One of the responsibilities of those star kings is to ease this change. When necessary, these star kings themselves will act as a buffer to reconcile the abnormalities of the stars.
Don't those star kings just want to enjoy the honor brought by the stars and ignore the disasters caused by the stars' runaway behavior?
Of course I do.
Naihe, heaven tells you, no!
Since you enjoy the honor of Star Lord, you must fulfill the responsibilities of Star Lord.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a considerable part of the reason for the Battle of Chanjie was to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the gods.
The saint Daotong personally came to the end and explained the fight between the two families. The loser will serve as the replacement of the gods. This way, while letting the gods breathe a sigh of relief, he also warned them - don't think that you are irreplaceable. Don't think about negotiating terms with Heaven.
The war souls of the human race are sent to battlefields outside the territory, and the same is true - it is not just you gods and gods who are fighting outside the territory, but the mortals are also fighting with you, and they are fighting here. Among them, the price paid by mortals is no less than you.
In the Conferred Gods, despite Ao Bing's intrusion, the purpose of the Battle of Interpretation was not completely implemented, and the undercurrent still existed.
But after the conferment of gods, the situation in heaven and earth was prosperous, and the Great Heavenly Lord set an example and shouldered the greatest pain between heaven and earth, so the undercurrent was reluctantly resolved.
However, in the thousand years since the Jade Emperor came to power, the system of karma has not been digested, and the shackles of karma on the gods and cultivators have become stronger and stronger. In addition, the Jade Emperor is not the kind of person who can lead by example, so that The one who is convinced by the gods.
Therefore, even though the overall situation of the world is still upward, the undercurrent that was once dispersed shows signs of surging again.
It is difficult for Ao Bing to predict. When the situation in Chu State is completely revealed in front of the gods of heaven and earth, and the existence of the God of Humanity is completely exposed, what will the gods between heaven and earth do? What kind of reaction.
When humans and immortals no longer need each other, in what direction will the situation between heaven and earth develop?
Faint, unprecedented waves were building up in Ao Bing's heart.
“No, there must be a solution to this situation.” Ao Bing calmed down.
The human race and the immortal gods no longer 'need each other'. Such a result is unacceptable to everyone. Therefore, whether it is the living saints, the reincarnated sages of the human race, the existing great sages, or even those who stand on the human race It is impossible for any immortal or god in his position to make such a decision.
Therefore, there must be a solution to this God of Humanity’s situation!
Faintly, Ao Bing had a feeling.
The chess game of Chu State may be a preview of the future situation between heaven and earth - whoever can perceive the essence of the chessboard, and whoever can find the key to breaking the chessboard on the chessboard, will be able to succeed in the next era. amidst the changes, it has an unprecedented advantage.
"So, where is the solution?" Ao Bing carefully pondered the changes in Yun Zhongjun's power in front of him.
