Chapter 344 Breakup
Dashang, Chaoge City!
Yun Zhongzi, who had just returned to Chaoge from the vassal kingdoms to rest, looked in the direction of the palace and couldn't help but frown.
He was now very confused as to why, after not being in Chaoge City for a while, some evil spirit appeared in the depths of the palace.
Although this wisp of evil spirit was very weak, just like an illusion, Yun Zhongzi believed that his eyes would not make a mistake.
There is indeed a demonic presence in the palace.
There are undoubtedly two possibilities for this situation to occur. One is that a demon has sneaked into the palace, and the other is that a demonic thing has been brought into the palace.
No matter which of these two possibilities occurs, it is not good news for Chanjiao.
Don't forget that the reason they came to Chao Ge was because they were invited by Di Xin to exorcise demons for him.
But now it's good. After they came to Chaoge, there were still demons sneaking into the palace. This was a slap in the face of their evangelism and scolded them for being incompetent!
"Asshole!"
Yun Zhongzi always prided himself on being open-minded, but at this moment he couldn't help but get angry. He wanted to rush into the palace immediately and find out and destroy the things related to monsters inside.
But alas, he can't!
The palace is not only protected by the destiny black bird, which symbolizes the fortune of the Great Shang, but also is illuminated by the purple star. Not to mention him, even if the quasi-sage came and dared to cause trouble in the palace, he would still be suppressed.
"Let's first see what kind of monsters sneak into the palace, and then make a decision."
Yun Zhongzi thought for a while and suppressed the anger in his heart for the time being. He had to figure out what the thing was before he could take action.
So, three days passed quickly.
"Damn it, what are these big business officials doing? How can they present the demon fox to the king?"
Through these three days of investigation, Yun Zhongzi finally figured out what the demon in the palace was. It was a beauty possessed by a nine-tailed demon fox.
This beauty comes from the pure country and is a descendant of pure foxes. The Pure Fox, like Tushan Fox and Yousu Fox, is a large fox clan that has produced nine-tailed foxes.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Junnu, a pure fox descendant, was replaced by the nine-tailed fox.
"Fei Zhongyouhun!"
"There is such a treacherous official in a big businessman, and it is unnatural for him not to be destroyed."
After knowing the origin of the demon fox, Yun Zhongzi quickly found out her origin. She was a beauty dedicated to him by Fei Zhong and You Hun, Emperor Xin's favorite ministers.
At the same time, they also proposed and submitted the proposal to let the princes donate their daughters to fill the harem.
Fortunately for you!
The two were ordinary officials with low status and little power. By offering beautiful women to win the favor of Emperor Xin, in just a few years, he was promoted several times by Emperor Xin and became the most popular figure in the court.
They dedicated pure women to Emperor Xin in order to win Emperor Xin's favor and improve their own status.
Precisely because they donated the pure women, they were able to bypass the censorship of the Chan Cult disciples and the Western Cult disciples and enter the palace directly.
"Asshole!"
After figuring out the reason, Yun Zhongzi understood that it was not their responsibility for the demons to sneak into the palace this time.
They had done everything well, but what happened if Di Xin made a mistake? What does it have to do with them?
However, even so, if you really want to care about it, you can still hold them accountable.
In one sentence, how did the nine-tailed fox enter Chaoge City under the heavy blockade of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect?
Theoretically, even if she opened all the joints, she could bypass the disciples of the two sects and appear directly in front of Di Xin.
But the formations set up by the two religions outside Chaoge City were just staged? As long as these formations can work, even the nine-tailed fox with great connections will be blocked outside the city and unable to enter.
In any case, allowing demons to enter Chaoge City is a dereliction of duty by both religions.
"The demon fox has ruined my reputation as a preacher. I can't keep you here today. I'll take you in because of my poor taste."
In any case, after this incident, the reputation of Chanjiao will definitely be damaged. Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi was furious. He took out a peach wood sword and ordered it to be hung on the palace tower of the palace.
This sword is made of congenital peach wood. Because it is bathed in the immortal energy of jade all year round, it can emit the immortal light of jade.
If the nine-tailed fox was at its peak, this sword would not be able to do anything to her. But first she was severely injured by Ao Bing, and then she was possessed by her spirit. She was at her weakest, even worse than an ordinary immortal.
There is no need to bring this mahogany sword to her, just hanging it near her, under the light of the jade pure fairy light, it will drive her to pieces in a few days.
Yun Zhongzi's abacus was very good. At present, no one else knew about the nine-tailed fox sneaking into the palace except him.
In other words, as long as he can get rid of the nine-tailed fox in time, then this matter can be treated as if nothing happened, and the reputation of Chanjiao will not be damaged.
It was precisely with this in mind that Yun Zhongzi did not eliminate the demon in a big way, but took action secretly, hoping to kill the nine-tailed fox without anyone noticing.
He hung his sword in the palace and beat the nine-tailed fox to pieces. In this way, even if she dies, in the eyes of outsiders, she died of an emergency, and no flaws can be found.
After all, the problem was the spirit of the nine-tailed fox. Her body was a human body taken from her, so there was no problem.
Therefore, as long as the spirit of the nine-tailed fox is destroyed and her body is left behind, this matter can be perfectly covered up.
How can any disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun not be proficient in calculations? Yun Zhongzi thought he had done it without anyone noticing, and things did develop as he expected from the beginning.
But he never expected that something unexpected would happen in just three days. The mahogany sword he secretly hung in the palace was burned.
Of course ordinary fire cannot burn immortal treasures, but with the order of the Human King, it is different. Even an immortal would burn it for you to see, let alone an immortal thing.
"You faint king!"
Yun Zhongzi knew without thinking that Emperor Xin must be greedy for beauty and was taken advantage of by pure women. He ordered people to find the peach wood sword hanging in the palace building and then burn it.
It was impossible to say that Yun Zhongzi was not angry that his flawless plan was ruined. But then he thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to escape from Dashang!
After all, Chanjiao and Dashang are not the same people. Don’t forget that the destiny of Chanjiao is to help Zhou conquer Shang.
Dashang will be destroyed by Chanjiao sooner or later. Under this relationship, Chanjiao has been mixed with Dashang, so what is going on?
To be honest, from the beginning, Chanjiao disciples did not want to come to Chaoge City. It's just because of the great righteousness of exterminating demons that I have to come.
I wanted to get rid of the demon and leave immediately. But there's no end to eliminating demons. Once you start, you can't stop. In other words, it is no longer up to them to decide when to stop.
The disciples of Chanjiao always wanted to leave, but could not find a chance to escape. However, this incident gave Yun Zhongzi an opportunity to escape.
It's not that Chanjiao wants to leave Chaoge, but that Di Xin colludes with the devil and they have to leave.
As long as the collusion between Di Xin and the devil is confirmed, they will have reasons to attack Dashang, not to mention leaving Chaoge.
"This is an opportunity, let's do it!"
After making a decision in his heart, Yun Zhongzi no longer hesitated and immediately reported that Chunfei, the concubine of Xin Xina who was proclaimed emperor, was transformed by a demon.
Entering the palace now, there is no doubt that he has the intention to seduce the king and corrupt the country, which needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.
As soon as Yun Zhongzi said these words, before Di Xin could react, Fei Zhongyouhun, two ministers who were lucky enough to enter, had already jumped out and criticized him, and even scolded him for his nonsense. Concubine Chun was dedicated to Emperor Xin by the two of them. Once something went wrong with Concubine Chun, the two of them would be implicated.
Therefore, no matter what Yun Zhongzi said is true or false, for the sake of their future, it must be false. There must be nothing wrong with Chun Fei. What Yun Zhongzi said is all slander and cannot be believed.
"Your Majesty..."
At the same time, in the harem, Concubine Chun looked at Di Xin crying, as if she would rather die to prove her innocence in order not to embarrass him.
As for Di Xin, if Ao Bing were to come here and see his appearance at this time, he would definitely be shocked and think that he had mistakenly recognized the person.
Looking at his obsessed face and dazed expression, there is no trace of the wise and mighty person he once was.
At first glance, it seems that he has been addicted to sensuality all year round, and his whole person has become useless. All his ambitions and ambitions have been replaced by wine, sex and wealth.
"Don't worry, my beloved concubine!"
"Don't say you are not a demon, even if you are a demon, so what? I am the master of the world and I just took a demon as my concubine. What is wrong? Who dares to accuse me?"
Seeing Concubine Chun's pitiful look, Di Xin felt heartbroken and said extremely domineeringly.
Then, without waiting for Concubine Chun to say anything, he turned his head and ordered the guards outside the palace with an indifferent expression:
"Tell Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi that one person already knows about this matter and has his own plans. Tell him not to interfere anymore and continue to eradicate the evil god."
After all, he didn't completely lose his mind. He just asked Yun Zhongzi to stop interfering. He didn't scold him, let alone accuse him.
This attitude was actually an explanation, preventing Yun Zhongzi from continuing to attack. But there is no shortage of bad people in this world.
It was Fei Zhong and Youhun, two great traitors, who conveyed Emperor Xin's will to Yun Zhongzi.
Although they reported Di Xin's words truthfully, they inevitably added fuel to the fire and threatened Yun Zhongzi to keep him out of the matter.
Emperor Xin still wanted to treat Yun Zhongzi with courtesy, but the two treacherous ministers Fei Zhongyouhun did not care and tried their best to squeeze him and offend him.
Of course this is intentional!
After this incident, Fei Zhongyouhun felt that the existence of Yun Zhongzi had become their biggest threat in the court.
If he is allowed to continue making trouble, both of them may lose their jobs.
In this case, simply drive him away, which can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also achieve peace and quiet.
As for forcing Yun Zhongzi to death, Fei Zhongyouhun was just bad, not stupid. He still knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.
If he really wanted to kill Yun Zhongzi and forced him to kill them with two swords, there would be no excuse.
On the contrary, if normal officialdom methods were used to force Yun Zhongzi away, even if he was angry, he would not be able to directly kill him.
Yun Zhongzi was so shrewd that when he saw Fei Zhongyouhun acting like this, he immediately guessed their intentions.
While lamenting in his heart that the treacherous ministers were harming the country, he cooperated with them to have a big quarrel and left Chaoge City angrily.
“How can the Great Shang Kingdom last long with a coward like this?”
Outside Chaoge City, Yun Zhongzi cursed angrily and left in the clouds.
At the same time, Fei Zhongyouhun, who was covered in injuries, ran into the palace and slandered Emperor Xin pitifully, saying bad things about Yun Zhongzi.
There are countless words that disrespect the king, slander the princess, and curse the Great Shang Kingdom.
"Presumptuous!"
"The desire to explain my teachings and destroy my great merchants is indeed alive!"
Emperor Xin might not believe Fei Zhongyouhun if he said anything else. But when they said that Yun Zhongzi cursed the great merchants and their national fortunes, he not only believed them, but also believed them deeply.
Because Yun Zhongzi is not the first disciple of Chanjiao to say that Cheng Tang Qi is approaching. Before this, Nezha, a disciple of Zhenren Taiyi, had already said it and said that this was what Yuanshi Tianzun said himself.
It can be said that this sentence has almost become a curse in Di Xin's heart. The sage himself declared that the time to become Tang Qi was approaching. Even if he was the co-owner of the world, he could not help but feel a little panicked.
Now that Yun Zhongzi's old story was brought up again, it undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerve in Di Xin's heart, making him feel stressed and behaved extremely erratically.
At this time, someone outside the palace came to report what Yun Zhongzi said when he left.
"Demon concubine, treacherous minister, cowardly king, the country is in ruins..."
"Explaining teachings and deceiving others goes too far!"
"I have never treated my disciples badly since they entered the city. All treatment is the highest. All the clothes are also the best."
"In terms of etiquette, I have never treated them badly."
"But what about them?"
"Is this how you repay Yu?"
"The Shang Kingdom will not last long. I should be killed!"
"Come here, I will pass on the decree, explain the teachings and curses to my great merchant. From today on, he will be regarded as a heresy and no sacrifice will be allowed."
Di Xin slapped the seat hard and roared angrily. At this moment, humanity's backlash against him intensified, and his personality became worse than that of ordinary people, easily irritable and extremely impulsive.
"Yes!"
Some ministers got the news and wanted to persuade Emperor Xin to calm down. However, Yun Zhongzi's curse on the Shang Kingdom was true. No matter how eloquent they were, they could not clear up the matter and had no choice but to accept the order.
In addition, they also saw that it was definitely true that Chanjiao was dissatisfied with Dashang. Otherwise, Yun Zhongzi would not have said that on purpose before leaving.
His words sounded like he was explaining why he left Chaoge. But to the ears of those who are interested, it is clear that he can’t wait to draw a clear line with the big merchants.
Chanjiao was determined to break with Dashang. From this, it is not difficult to see that when they say that the fortunes of the great merchants will not last long, they are not speaking out of anger, but they are telling the truth.
Thinking of this, the ministers of Dashang all felt a layer of gloom in their hearts.
"Where's Duke Long?"
"Send this news to him quickly."
"After such a big thing happened, it's time to call him back."
After Bigan Shangrong and other ministers got the news, they quickly sent a message to Ao Bing, asking him to come back to take charge of the overall situation and clean up the mess.
At this time, what was Ao Bing doing?
He is having a baby with Yang Chanda!
As the foundation grew, Ao Bing gradually became unable to do what he wanted in terms of management. Therefore, he wanted to create children as early as possible to handle his affairs in the future.
